It’s such a dumb topic too - because when you focus solely on the myocarditis risk stratification between Covid and the vaccine, you lose sight of all of the other morbidities that come with Covid. It’s like that video making the rounds right now where Bill Maher is trumpeting that the infection provides as strong protection against severe disease compared to the vaccine. Cool! Not actually surprising but kind of misses the obvious point that it involves you getting Covid, a serious, highly
transmissible disease, when you could get the same protection without the illness.. I guess you could use the evidence to adjust guidance on vaccine schedule but protection still wanes over time so..
Isn't Discord the new platform? I used IRC quite extensively for asking development related questions, but after the freenode fiasco it seemed Discord became the best place to get development questions answered for a large variety of languages and frameworks.
Based on the fact that there's thousands of superfund sites that are decades old, this probably won't be cleaned up any time soon
Even if it doesn't become obsolete as an activity the knowledge you build around it becomes obsolete faster than almost any other tech sector. Whatever you learn by trial and error now about one particular model will be completely outdated in two years from now.
It seems to me that current AI techniques are more about reducing programmer workload than actually doing something that isn't possible with traditional methods.

The US have almost 5500 nuclear weapons at the moment, what practical difference would it make to have twice as many?
I'd really, really like to see links to specific questions that were closed for allegedly bad reasons. These posts complaining about SO almost never contain them, so we're only getting half the story.

Stack Overflow can be a rather harsh experience if you're unfamiliar with it and have wrong assumptions about how it works. The "wrong assumptions" part is not intended to blame the asker, it's just a fact that SO has some rules that are not obvious if you're used to more forum-like sites.

I still find SO very useful, and I have no issue at all with getting questions closed. I may have received a downvote or two that I found unwarranted, but not more. And you don't always get an answer, but that is not that surprising for more specialized questions. It's still the most useful general purpose site for programming questions for me.
Why is posting a GPT summary wrong?
How does that work? If we fix the school budget as it is, then obviously if you only have one student and one family there's not enough money to run it.

So presumably adding more students and families is what makes it affordable. Why does that stop? What's the inflexion point?
I have a iPhone SE II and a Huawei P30 and I refuse to buy newer / more expensive phones. All of needs were met when iPhone 5s came out and 99% of new features are just pointless. Unfortunately we live in a world partially thanks to Google where version 1.0 is grossly underrated.

Btw. what are those gestures you are talking about? I am pretty much a boomer when it comes to using software and my 2 year old son could show me new features of Youtube for example but I was not aware of any hidden gestures...

Yeah, it's relevant to remember that arrow functions were defined in ES2015 (eight years ago) and like I said most browsers people are using are caught up through at least ES2021. The nice thing about the ES2015 year-based nomenclature (as opposed to the people still calling it "ES6") is that you can do a quick reasonable first approximation of caniuse statistics off hand with "is that standard at least two years old?" Arrow functions are old.

Such things still exist, and even include iMessage ;-)
I switched from a Macbook to PC laptop a few years ago. I'd say there are two rules to making that switch comfortably.

Rule #1: do a ton of research and comparison shopping to be certain you're making a good PC buy. These huge brands like Lenovo, Dell, Acer, etc churn out so many laptops, and the build quality varies wildly between them. For my process, I completely factored out most brands: absolutely no shopping for Acer, MSI, Dell, Toshiba, etc. They're just too much of a roulette, unless you know a specific model that fits your needs (like the Thinkpad!). At the time I was shopping I was only looking at Asus, Alienware and Gigabyte (not sure if they're all still good brands in 2023).

Rule #2: be able to do basic small maintenance. I ended up buying a Gigabyte laptop that's still running perfectly 5 years later, and it IS a gaming laptop with all the heat / cooling issues that implies. I've had to replace the SSD, the battery (heat degradation), didn't replace but had to oil and reseat the fans, repasted CPU / GPU, and make various software tweaks. A computer shop could do the same, just like the Genius bar, but it just makes things so much less stressful when you can do the kind of quick maintenance that Apple so strongly discourages.
I agree. In my experience, trying to balance "thin" and "gaming power" together in the same device is a recipe for disaster.
No its not. You used the tool in useful way, producing result that is helpful to others. Points deserved. Autosumarization would be cool too.
> I've finally decided to cancel my SO account, to add it to my hosts block list, and to block SO results from Google using an extension.

I won't say that Twitter and StackOverflow are exactly alike, but to quit a website I also find that I have go "cold turkey" by making it hard to enter the hostname on autopilot or click a search result. That's why I added "||twitter.com^" to uBlock Origin on both my desktop and mobile web browsers.
That's an incredibly cynical take and possibly bordering on gatekeeping based on "spiritual" boundaries.

Psychedelics can be fun, but in my experience they're fun if your mind is in the right place. They act as a conduit for more deeply connecting with the world around you.

On the other hand, if you have work to do then those things have a chance to appear in your trip. That can be healthy, if you're ready to face something, or it can be incredibly terrifying. I've had both experiences through my own isolation and meditation before. As someone with years of trauma, including a year long stint in a war zone, I can attest that my trips were sometimes fun, almost always challenging, and sometimes terrifying. As time has gone on and I've done work to unpack my trips and connect them with my experiences and understanding when I'm sober my trips have averaged to being "more fun" and "connected". This is something I was not able to achieve with meditation alone.

It does have 4 youtube videos that seem to be of a presentation he gave, though I don't think it's the same one as the transcript (apologies, I haven't watched them yet, only briefly skipped through them). They are a bit potato quality, but might still be of use.
"Droid" was primarily a Motorola brand, and one which they stopped using when they were acquired by Lenovo in 2016.
> whether you can trust leadership to respect technical debt or not

Most C-suite folks, these days, are running leveraged up the yin-yang, financially; so I suspect that "tech debt" is almost meaningless.

I'm trying to remember if I have ever known an [American] manager, that gave the slightest damn about tech debt...

Nope. I got nothing.
I don't miss cord noise at all. Not even a little, tiny bit. Or having it catch on things, or pull the earphone out of my ear. I'll take the miniscule risk of losing an wireless earphone (haven't yet...).
I would argue that most people don't actually give a shit about 'better hardware', 'software ecosystem' or any other technicality beyond 'pictures look good'. I have friends that buy the latest maxed out iPhone version by version and they truly don't do a single more expensive action than take photos of their food and upload it to Instagram.
It's the definition of network effects and the power of defaults. I've had this same discussion before a few times, and when you're the lone one out of a large group, people just roll their eyes. And I don't really blame them, as iMessage does work great for the most part, so switching is primarily added hassle.

If it's this painful as an old guy, I can't imagine what it's like for teenagers.

"List question" is meta jargon on stackoverflow that longtime users will understand. It falls under these "open ended" questions, hence why OP's question was closed as "primarily opinion-based" - IIRC it used to have its own close reason but got rolled into that when others were needed.

Here's a meta question specifically about list questions that says basically the same thing: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/139618/are-list-que...
When I read anything about the OSI model it always reminds me of this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26607983

> I have said before that I believe that teaching modern students the OSI model as an approach to networking is a fundamental mistake that makes the concepts less clear rather than more. The major reason for this is simple: the OSI model was prescriptive of a specific network stack designed alongside it, and that network stack is not the one we use today. In fact, the TCP/IP stack we use today was intentionally designed differently from the OSI model for practical reasons.
There would still be the point of requiring knowledge of an arcane syntax that can take months to understand and years to master. It will almost always be more efficient and productive to specify programs in plain English then add additional specifications to clarify ambiguity when observed, rather than trying to write specs in a completely unambiguous language.
> Is it wrong to get all these points from an AI summary?

I don't think so, as long as you've vetted it for completeness and accuracy.
Nope. I still can't see me using passkeys. Unless someone can explain how I use them without a Google/Apple/Microsoft account, or without being reliant on some third party and a hardware device then it's useless for me.

I would only ever use this if like my password manager the authenticator was software based (hardware independent), platform and vendor independent, open source, and offline.
This is not untrue, but a more applicable interpretation of this conceptual framework might go as follows:

In an AAR[0] operators explain risks, causes, and limitations of the system. This provides a formal structured language for describing how, precisely, supporting systems can be improved and how they impact all specific aspects of operator interaction.

Since the operator is viewed simply as a networked control-system in this case, the cognitive path from structure, supporting physical system, and then physical quantities needing improvement is unmistakably clear, as is required in successful planning, acquisitions, operations, and maintenance.[1]

Essentially it makes subjective experience concrete, and is prophylactic against bikeshedding/blame-gaming.

I don't know anyone who can turn it on and off on a dime. But it isn't difficult to turn off in my experience, just takes removing the behavior (side projects) from your routine for about a month. Once off, it's hard to turn on again, which may (or may not) be an acceptable outcome.

Hacker News is more for human content and ideas. Additionally, not initially disclosing it immediately makes it misleading.
Wow! Well done! Oddly, my DDG search for "When you give people too much information, they instantly resort to pattern recognition" only found 6 Tweets and one web page with just the quote and no citation.

Interesting how the quotes I found are different than the transcript, which says: "When you give people too much information, they instantly resort to pattern recognition – in other words, to structuring the experience. And I think this is part of the artist’s world."

You can also see how his comments in 1968 follow the same theme from his book, with "there is in IBM, for example, a phrase that information overload produces pattern recognition."

And, fundamentally, McLuhan appears to be saying that pattern matching is a good thing. "The artist, when he encounters the present, the contemporary artist, is always seeking new patterns, new pattern recognition, which is his task, for heaven’s sake. ... The scientists are going to wake up to this shortly and will be resorting en masse to the artist’s studio in order to discover the forms of the materials they’re dealing with."

That's just about the opposite of how this linked-to essay interprets the phrase.
OODA is a lot more than that. Since it is something developed for adversarial interactions, you’re also talking about disrupting or overwhelming the adversary’s OODA. Or another way is feeding the OODA bad intel (tainting their observations), and then stepping up the tempo so that they are making worse decisions faster. Another is taking advantage of the adversary’s “frame” (the orientation) and using that to drive the adversary into diverging from reality. (Sun Tzu talks about direct and indirect actions for that).

There’s also a version of OODA where things become intuitive and there are shortcuts within OODA as well.
My son and I prefer Android, but he switched to iPhone so he could better communicate with his gf and peers and eventually I switched to better communicate with him. It's like a social virus. iMessage is a real barrier to Android adoption.

Haskell type inference is EXPTIME, O(2^p(n)), yet it works fine in practice. This reminds me of the quote by Rob Pike on algorithms completely:

What's the motivation for using YAML instead of Starlark (Bazel, Buck) or something closer to Python (Pants, please.build)? Seems as though much of the other monorepo tools have (kinda) standardized on this.

As I understand it, the primary reason these build systems leverage these Python-variants is so that the build rules, toolchains, constraints, and build definitions can all be written in the same language (since build rules often require some programmatic behavior). Perhaps with a future vision of them being totally interoperable across build systems.

I said goodbye to StackOverflow more than 8 years ago[1]. I was an avid fan, listened to every podcast episode as Jeff and Joel were building it and was excited for its launch.

The early days were so much better because the toxicity had not set in.

However, my account clearly has first mover advantage. I sit at Top 0.5% without having contributed in a very long time. Both on the Question and Answer side, I have benefitted from providing answers to basic questions and asking basic questions.

I'm not sure what your problem with downvoting is. It's not an attack on you, but to let other readers know that your solution is not the best solution. It may have been so in 2011, but readers like me don't want to be led astray if it is no longer a good solution.

Likewise for their comments.

it’s pretty much the other extreme to SO. reddit is highly resistant to communal knowledge accumulation. everything is temporary, everything decays, and the continual churn of participants combined with a crap search engine ensures that ephemerality reigns eternally.

It'd be interesting if they did like that college prof someone wrote about here, and published AI-written stories with obvious issues, then awarded for best fix / polish / response to editor feedback / requests for integration of specific domain knowledge / etc.

If writers are gonna AI, then make sure to also test their AI-wielding skill to a very high level and definitely dwell on areas that are tough for AI.

It seems also ideal if solutions in this kind of space could make the extrinsic reward-seeking process more open by default.

Like: OK--go ahead and use AI, but document your entire process using blockchain receipts, or something. Then let's see how a qualitative approach to that kind of situation can really make a work shine.

Thus you will be rewarded for what you created, and wow, you're an award-winning author--but also you're rewarded for publishing methods that improve the entire state of the art for everyone's benefit.
Congrats on launch! Do you have examples of monorepos, for example React with TypeScript and Django with Python?

I don't want to argue at length here, but I disagree: Warzone in either form was just as uninspired as regular CoD.
