I stopped getting cavities when I started using fluoride-free toothpaste and filtered my water with reverse osmosis.

> This is same as saying teach everyone how to code in C first. Why stop there? Just teach assembly. See my point? -- lvl102 reply to ricardobeat*

I would argue there's something to that.

Maybe hello world level Basic or Pascal or beginner Python first, but then assembly before C or Rust or even JavaScript. Something's been lost for the set of devs who don't know what higher languages are doing for them under the hood.

I'd similarly agree with ricardobeat that CSS frameworks should come after CSS, and JS frameworks after JS. Rapidly ascending abstractions is great, if you take long enough to understand what they're built with, and some things will always be solved more simply by dropping back down a layer or three.

This makes no sense. If not many butchers do kosher slaughter how does putting the existing ones out of business lower the price? If the butchers were colluding to keep prices high why is that accusation never made?

This takes me back to the late 90s when I was a teen and decided to try to implement preemptive multi-threading in Turbo Pascal. I'd gotten a book on assembly so was somewhat versed in that, and took on the challenge.

Having to save and restore the registers was obvious, but as I recall it the main challenge was figuring out the right sequence to do that while also preserving the CPU flags.

I only used the timer interrupt to switch between threads in a round-robin way, so interactivity wasn't the best, but it worked. Was quite pleased with myself for accomplishing that.

I think it was a pretty decent challenge, and one that was quite instructive. Not just did you need to know some details about the various CPU instructions (like which ones affected flags), but it was also a kind of a puzzle to arrange it all the right way.

Lol I guarantee you the average bing user isn't checking those references.

I'm dead serious, really -- they like making them, and there's nobody around to stop them, and so the number of programming languages explodes.
> Competitiveness necessarily includes equal opportunity

No, it doesn't. Professional (American) football is highly competitive despite the fact that opportunity to excel is distributed very unequally. Women, for example, are extremely unlikely to be competitive in pro football, as is anyone with any kind of physical disability, or anyone over (say) 50.

In academics, children of parents who value learning are much more likely to excel than children of parents who think there is no value in reading.

But the remaining pool of candidates can still represent formidable competition.

I'd hazard that cooked meat is more likely to have that issue than raw meat.

Yeah. I especially find it interesting when Netflix says something you couldn't pay me to watch is a 92% match with my profile (or however they phrase it).

But part of the problem the algorithm has is that content is of very uneven quality. I look at very recent things that, a few years ago, I would have wanted to see, and scroll on by. The first Avengers movie? Kind of rushed but acceptable. Thor Love and Thunder? Garbage. (Not Netflix examples, just examples)

We want to see new content but have learned from recent experience that it's not worth the trouble. The algorithm simply can't understand that.

NOLA: A library for building virtual actor systems with WASM and FoundationDB

You're missing the point.

Was their mistake dumb? Yes.

Is making an error like that ok? Of course not.

But is it the kind of error that justifies a large decline in stock price? No.

The behaviour of the stock implies doubt in Google's AI implementation itself, and my point is there's absolutely no evidence ChatGPT is any better or worse. If that was the reason for the stock decline, Microsoft and Google should both be taking a pounding because, at this point, we should assuming their implementations are equally flawed due to fundamental limitations in LLMs.
No, that's not universally true for the US... There aren't constitutional mechanisms for impeaching any and all politicians.
I don't think this is a problem of election integrity, the abuse is being done by un-elected people which while some are appointed most aren't. It is an accountability issue, call something a threat to national security and now everything's free game. The people doing those violations should at the very least be fired, but repeatedly doing them -or repeatedly overseeing them- should lead to jail, especially if it is targeted at political parties.
> McCarron shines a glimmer of light in the wake of this gloom, reminding us that overall processor revenue was still higher in 2022 than any year before the 2020s began.

Suggests a correction precipitated by panic-buying during the supply chain chaos of the pandemic era. Too soon for doom and gloom for the PC market just yet. Mobile devices have been dominating PCs since long before 2020, and if revenues were still growing in the past decade then there's nothing to suggest that this moment is suddenly the inflection point where the whole thing will come tumbling down, even if you do believe that something like that is inevitable.
I used to think that the community of hackers would be immune to this. The rise of GPT, CoPilot, StableDiffusion, etc has proven me wrong. We're pretty much fucked.

Was anyone blown away by any parts of this analysis? It kind of just seems like someone watched the movie and summarized the key messages, which I would hope any given 8 year old, who the movie is targeted to, would be able to do on their own.

I can appreciate that some people like to watch movies just for the flashy lights and silly voices, and might have missed the fact that the movie was trying to make some important points about consumerism. I guess I'm having a hard time understanding who this write-up is targeted to, and I feel like I'm missing some key piece of information that would make everything make sense.
Any group who becomes part of the system will then act to protect the system. I mean, judges are supposed to grant warrants for things already, yet we continually see stories of them just rubber stamping requests, or police lying to obtain them. I assume that system would suffer similar issues.

Look at long term stats on mathematics ability and literacy in the rich western countries. It does not paint a good picture. Two things I know off the top of my head is that literacy scores in the SATs have trended slightly down over the past 40 years, for both low-achievers and high-achievers.[1]

Australia, one of the richest countries in the world, is experiencing a multi-decade decline in mathematical standing[2]. Australia is fabulously rich, but is doing a worse and worse job of producing citizens that are numerate and understand mathematics. I haven't looked at literacy performance in the country, but I'd guess it's declining like it is in the USA, as Australia is subject to broadly the same pressures of political-economy and technology.

> So the Astronauts should be able to produce working systems that pass functional tests.

Nah. This is just a new version of an old mistake, one people have been repeating for decades. People keep trying to come up with ways for people to "code" without understanding what's going on. Code generation wizards. Visual programming tools. Model driven architecture. And a bunch more.

The hard part about making software isn't writing a bit of starter code. What we saw with the "code wizard" approach is that somebody clueless could click some buttons and get something working. But then they couldn't maintain it. It just kicked the "understand what's going on" problem down the road from "I don't know how to start" to "I am now trapped in a hell of generated code and people are yelling at me".

If some particular application is so standard that it can be produced with only a shallow understanding of how software works, then the right thing isn't using ChatGPT to produce source code. It's when people who have a deeper understanding produce an app that is configurable in the right ways.

Yeah, I am going out on a limb and I'm going to say that "you're never obligated to have sex with someone or pretend you're attracted to them" is probably the mainstream opinion of the vast majority of transgender people.

It's the Internet, I'm not going to say that nobody feels that way, but... I mean, the LGBTQ+ movement is not traditionally a fan of the argument "pretend you're attracted to someone." That was historically a pretty big issue for them. So it's certainly not an argument that I run into, but I'm sure it's popped up on forums before.

I have seen some conversations talking about the degree to which the question of "are they datable" reveals some level of both societal transphobia and serves to reinforce gendered roles and expectations about women. I've seen people suggest that an aversion to dating transgender men/women might be something to self-examine, the same way that an aversion to dating Asians would be. But that's a very far cry from saying that someone should be obligated to date someone even though they're not attracted to them.

TERFs are... well, that's a different subject. I think a lot of it is exclusion and community policing of gender norms and gender alignment dressed up as feminism. That would have to be a longer conversation, but it's hard for me to understand what the "feminist" angle is of a philosophy that often strays into biological essentialism; and I've seen even cisgender women get caught in the cross-fire of communities deciding whether they present too masculine or work out just slightly too often and are therefore worthy of suspicion. I don't want to paint with too broad of a brush, but I don't think TERFs are as a whole are tearing down gender norms; I think they're reinforcing them.

It's curious how often when I read TERF literature that it falls into this trap of describing men and women as almost different species, and species that are naturally hostile to each other. I very often have to take a step back and check on what I'm reading. If someone had sent me "Pronouns are Rohypnol" before I knew that it was an influential piece, I would have assumed the piece was trying to set up a straw-feminist to tear down. If somebody had sent me passages of "Irreversible Damage" to read without the full context of the entire book, I would have assumed the book was intended primarily to argue for Christian Complementarianism.

But again, much longer conversation to have there.

Lol, I'm Indian, I am very well familiar with spices and "foreign" (by which you likely mean non-Western) foods in general. My point is that while spices are good, they are not mindblowingly good, like some drug. It's probably more a factor of me eating spices all my life and thinking that's normal, rather than eating bland food instead.

Well you can make a point about the fall of Rome with badly cited sources or spelling mistakes. But if your essay says Rome fell due to conquest by the Han dynasty it can't be saved by any number of correctly spelled, beautifully cited details.

It means "I can't fruitfully discuss this topic with someone who is stuck in an ideological local maximum".

Transgender identity and acknowledgement of the fluid, multidimensional nature of gender IS NOT a conspiracy to take your precious bodily fluids. Don't believe me? Go to San Francisco and try meeting some of the "co-conspirators" -- transgender men and women on the skids, having to turn to professions like sex work, because they ran from their conservative families fearing for their FUCKING LIVES. Living on the edges of society and the law, having to develop their own biopunk parallel medical support because legitimate medicine won't treat them in the way that they need, all to survive in a society that simply wishes they didn't exist because them existing violates a false foundational premise of society: that gender is binary and corresponds to physical sex.

But I've said too much. eyeroll is all the response you deserve.
"Separation of concerns" often results is code rot and harder to main codebases. Placing the styles, js and HTML for a "component" in close proximity helps to reduce this and can in my experience make development significantly quicker.

Separate css style sheets make sense for "document" web pages, but for "applications" I have found keeping the style close to, or inline with, the HTML much better.

Personally I prefer the concept of the "single file component" popularised by Vue. Having one file that contain the js, HTML and css in close proximity but not on top of each other works really well.

A common phrase used to describe this is "locality of behaviour".
