> The ABI promises in real world C++ implementations make this even worse.

There are legitimate use cases that require good performance and some ABI stability guarantees. Like various kinds of closed-source client libraries.

Rust doesn't have to serve those use cases, of course. But "stable ABI is bad" is a very broad statement.

The real problem here is the lack of packaging solutions for systems programming, which are frequently multi-language in some way. And in the case of closed-source use cases, that would look like binary packages. If we had quality dependency management, we would have different options for different use cases and standard libraries could focus on 90% use cases instead of 99.99% ones. Being all things to all users isn't a winning strategy.

That's valid point. Just wanted to mention that it isn't necessarily fair to French companies to judge them by one bad apple.

Another side not, which probably doesn't apply here, but in general: Work culture is different everywhere. Not better or worse, but just different and coming into a company with the wrong expectations and behavior is probably a recipe for disaster.
Yeah, I hope you didn't read to much into my comments. I am in favor of state run utilities... Just pointing out some problems I've seen... For sure the private sector are in bed with government and have their own problems with bad staff and short term thinking.
To be clear, the conclusion of Bowling Alone was that the cause was "technology 'individualizing' people's leisure time via television and the Internet, suspecting that 'virtual reality helmets' would carry this further in the future." [1]

Sub in "phones" for "virtual reality helmets" and the authors conclusions mirror OP's article.

Good point about the branch cost.

For a general purpose hash map, I think promising to preserve order despite deletion (like Python's current dict) is a mistake in performance terms†. Python could afford a penalty here because their previous dict was so ludicrously bad that you won't notice. We can't know if the user of a general purpose hash map does 0% deletes or 50% deletes nor whether the ordering is valuable to them at all anyway.

† If we don't promise to preserve order then delete just swaps the removed item from the dense array with the last item, then removes the last item, very efficient, if we insist on preserving order we're either using tombstones which mean branches or we're shuffling half the bloody array for each deletion.
I have my own hypothesis. I was born in the mid 80s, just FYI in case it makes a difference to my perspective.

It's information overload. And not just information overload, but the type of information people are consuming from online sources.

The brain is a lot better at quickly picking up subtle information than we might give it credit for. Just scrolling through a feed you see hundreds of impressions every minute, maybe thousands.

We might think we're just scrolling and we're not actually picking anything up but the brain is subtly reading all of those little messages. Not only is it hard to digest, but the type of information is often unfiltered intrusive thoughts that one wouldn't normally share IRL.

Add to that the fact that you can't just be yourself these days without someone filming you, and you become a meme. We started laughing at people for being themselves and being filmed, and now we're afraid of becoming a meme ourselves.

So two major factors for unhappiness in this age I believe are people censoring their real selves, or feeling ashamed of what's in their heads, and constantly being fed the opinions of thousands of strangers in a never ending stream.

English isn't my first language so I'm sorry if this is misunderstood by someone, please know that I'm just freely typing here with no former education or any research to back this up. It's just a gut feeling.

I just don't think the human brain was designed to cope with all this constant information. Not just news, but also psychological information about what people think or feel, all over the world. It's confusing us and distracting us from self care.
Ah yes, the mere possibility of a sentient AI arises and we're already invoking Roko's Basilisk

More seriously, that seems like a poor way to make moral choices in regards to AI. It's important to be able to distinguish if it does or doesn't have personhood. All evidence I've seen says "No", despite what this guy says.

> A lot of people have a terrible conception of what proper white is.

Color is a perceptual phenomenon that is not independent of surroundings and is especially tricky when you're talking about emission. Just as a piece of white paper in a candle-lit room is very different to a piece of white paper outdoors in sunlight, what is perceived as white on a TV can differ greatly depending on the room it is in or even what else is displayed on-screen.

Rather than insulting people's conception of what "proper white" is, perhaps consider that it's not quite as simple as you think.
A mis-spelling of ChatGPT.
Yes, it's the phones. This comment section feels a little better than the last few times this obvious idea has been pointed out -- generally when folks have blamed the phones in the past, dopamine fiends have come out of the woodwork to defend their devices and blame _everything else but the phones_.

This tech is _straight up bad for you_. We like to pretend like having the internet accessible at all times is strictly a marvel of human achievement. While it is indeed a marvel, it's also been contorted into a disgusting mess that's specifically designed to keep you coming back to it like an addict after a fix. An entire industry has been built around sucking you into your device.

The idea that we're giving something this poisonous to children -- and further, that it's a social norm to do so -- _really_ gives me pause.

1) I understand fearing this incentive and it's important to think about its implications. But the reality is that a dying person's family currently gets $0 and the surviving dependents can often be screwed over by funeral expenses and the reality of living without a breadwinner. Whatever the compensation is, wouldn't it be a better outcome for their family than $0?

2) Who owns a body and ought to have the agency to decide what happens to it? Does the State own you or does an Individual own himself?

This is mostly my point of view as well. With all the talk of AGI, the immediate threat is real and it is primitive AI. I suspect that primitive AI might becomes so self destructive to society that we never reach AGI.

We are already approaching a point in time of unverifiable reality and truth. This is going to be very destabilizing to society.

> The concept of using white paint to deflect heat isn’t new. As far back as the 1970s, scientists and manufacturers had been developing whiter and whiter paints

In the Mediterranean (at least, probably many other areas) this has been done for thousands of years by painting the houses white to keep the heat out as much as possible, as well as a variety of other techniques like smart air management. So I think "as far as the 70s" is fairly misleading, it should be more like "for thousands of years...".
While this was in Ireland, it's worth specifying that Royal Mail was responsible for this wholesome delivery as it was in Northern Ireland (currently in the UK), so it's not immediately obvious that this applies to the Republic as well.
Take heart, times are a-changing, even in sophisticated and freedom loving Netherlands. Its been a long oppresive period where the lemming mob would simply bully you: "I don't recognize your concerns, I don't care, I can't be bothered". But nowadays you definitely see some inroads of e.g., Signal.

But its a steep upward slope to climb. Lots of data-siphoning apps are painted on buses or splash on city ad "walls" but whatsapp is actually a permanent fixture of the urban landscape in so-called "neighbourhood watch signs". A creepy dystopic image if there was one.
Emporia State University to focus on DEI following 30+ terminations
I've voiced my opinion on "AI" being used to make "art" before, and I'm going to do it again: I think this is one of the worst things you can use AI for, as it narrows down the possibilities of one of the most enjoyable HUMAN activities, which is CREATING art.

I loathe the vision of a future where anyone can ask a neural network to create music just by describing what they, the user, want to hear, without them necessarily having any musical chops at all, and where some douche will train a neural network to generate every possible melody and chord progression that could be enjoyable to the human ear.

I'm saying.. You had thousands of real problems to solve using AI, and you chose to use it to make living more miserable for anyone who sees music as something more than a mere arrangement of sounds.

Totally fair, some English majors aren't cut out to work entry-level IT jobs! But having been an English major myself, I definitely knew many who were more technically-inclined, or just troubleshooting-inclined. Your examples are pretty well in-line with what I'd have been looking for, too -- someone who can use the smallish amount of knowledge they have to extrapolate to other possible causes. Most people will know the electricity flows through the power cable, which should be enough to realize there could be a failing connection inside the toaster, for instance.

I wouldn't be looking for a deep understanding of the electromechanical design of a toaster, just the inclination to combine their existing knowledge in novel ways to come up with new theories of what might be wrong, because, in my experience, that's ultimately the core trait of a successful (engineer|sysadmin|mechanic|etc.).
I think it depends on where you want to fit in a start up? For example, if you want to do customer acquisition then marketing (and analytics) which is more biz school than STEM might work. Product dev, same. But if you lean to something more technical then go more STEM-y.
I would really like to see more manufacturers adding NFC to tablets, there are almost no current generation 8" or larger devices with NFC, even the iPad lacks.
I agree with almost all of your post, but some nitpicks:

> Microsoft knew that most apps are forms way before the web (WinForms)

Windows Forms was initially released in early 2002 with .NET Framework 1.0, which _also_ shipped ASP.NET Web Forms (which was a crime against HTTP) - but the forms analogy for Windows apps goes back much further - at least to Visual Basic in the early 90s.

> So if I use the intermediate DOM layer Chromium provides, I get immediate support for 6 platforms

You get the ability to display things to users of those and interact with those users, not support for them as platforms.

That's correct. It's encrypted in transit, but the endpoint bridges decrypt messages then reencrypt them. IIRC you can run the bridges yourself on your own servers - Element just offers this service as well.
Thanks, I was recently trying to figure out what audio app use for some very amateur toying around. I used to play around with a version of Reason I had long ago and recently just started playing with Garageband. It's pretty difficult trying to understand where to get started and what to use, esp as just a hobby.

Googling "reason vs X" just turned up ad-loaded drivel.

Anyone know of any good guides that lay out the land? Venn diagrams of where DAWs (digital audio workstation), Mixers, etc overlap or how they relate/compare with each other?
They have changed it now. You can have first class clients on both a tablet and a phone. At least, that's how it is on Android (have WhatsApp installed natively on a phone and a tablet, also use it via web client on desktop).
Yeah, but they are also working on an alternate solution where the bridging happens in the client, which doesn't have this issue.
I find it funny that article argues SPA frameworks were pushed with cargo-cultism without evidence, while making proclamations of doom and being fairly light on substance.

I think the author has some valid points. I agree vanilla JS and SSR is a better fit for a lot of situations.

(I will admit some bias as someone who's mainly worked in Angular-Typescript)

AngularJs started gaining traction around the rise of "apps" and the iPhone.

SPA was a way to have an "app" in the browser with all the complexity that went with it. It also was a way to share an aritecture with mobile apps -- the browser is a client which calls the same public API as mobile devices.

Obviously you can call the same public API with SSR, (though it might have been more tricky before the rise of microservices), and not all webpages need to be "apps", but I think this was the argument at the time.

I think a lot has changed in 10+ years and those architectural decisions make less sense.

With static data and a form or two, SSR and vanilla JS is perfect. Resume-padding engineers might try to make it more complicated than it needs to be, but they're wrong.

I would not like to work on a complex web app with 10 other engineers that does not have some kind of component architecture.
I'll add one: An address with an apartment letter may not be the same building as the same address without the apartment letter. My address is something like "Bijvorbeeldstraat 3B". Next door, in a separate building, is "Bijvoorbeeld 3". Most services (including the national population register!) insist that I enter my address as "Bijvoorbeeldstraat 3 bus B", which results in (for everybody except the national post) coming to "Bijvoorbeeldstraat 3" and my deliveries getting marked as "nobody home".

In particular, I'm looking at you Uber Eats/Deliveroo. I get whinged at by roughly half the delivery drivers who come to deliver my food for putting in the wrong address, despite having delivery instructions that include a description of the correct door.

AFAIK the MFA program doesn’t require you to reveal your IP at all. It does require you to add a chip which adds nontrivial cost to your BOM and takes up a nontrivial amount of space and power, things Apple doesn’t need to do for their own products as that’s neatly integrated in SW.

So it does give Apple a meaningful advantage in any space they want to start competing with a partner, but access to IP is not it. Being able to run BI on your app and class of apps to understand market opportunity is also a thing they can do (and do) to understand if a space is worth competing in / focusing on.
Its a pity the data is so out of date in the article. Remember, things start, but they also stop. Sounds dumb but in context its insightful.

Lets take the hypothesis as true that as as smart phone use goes up 10% per year, the "Z" measure goes up 0.5. Whatever a "Z" is? Regardless, cell phone use started going up coincidentally at the same time Z started going up. Thus is astrology proven. No wait seriously the point is cell phone use can only go up to near 100% one time. So what happened to the annual 0.5 increase in "Z" after cell phone use topped out at 80% or 90% or 100% or so? Sorry, no data provided.

Another interesting idea: There's a deeper level to phone or social media use. Perhaps its Facebook. I know my kids generation has pretty much abandoned FB, so if its a FB specific problem it should reflect in "Z" levels. Or online dating. Or onlyfans as a job market.

Another interesting idea long the lines of astrology where coincidences prove cause and effect: Peak legacy style TV viewing hours per day was around 2010. Perhaps enormous amounts of professionally produced propaganda had a sedative effect on teens, or professionally produced propaganda in TV form is more effective than social media form.

Sure some people can hyperfocus (ADHD, ..) but most people cannot.

Building a landing page isn't the hard part. There are plenty of tools for that as well as for image/graphics generation. These people often have used them a lot already so they know their way around them.

The hard part is figuring out the content, the problem you are solving and who you solve it for. This often isn't done before and these landing pages become part of a portfolio and that's it.

Having worked in that type of space. We tried for years to get some sort of thing to work like this for shipping containers. As the space is huge and a decent ROI. The problem we had was battery life and endurance. At best we were getting 2-3 years in really good conditions. For some items that works great. But for others not so much. Usually very high/low temps and stacked under 10 other containers and 0 signal and bashed around in a shipping yard. You can not put it in the container as it degrades the signal too much. On the outside it is a harsh env. Tough space to work in. There are companies out there that have other solutions that worked better than what we had.
