It makes more sence for taxpayer to pay for publishing of research, than for each of individually to pay for accessing it.

As a general view, I am not sure on the merits of this spesific event.

But also, why are commercial entities reviweing scientific papers and deciding merit?

Are their interests aligned with mine as a tax payer?

TBH I think our political system and most of our OpEd pages could benefit from an infusion of shame. Many of them are bad people and continue having prominent roles due to their complete lack of shame. Maybe in psychologically healthy people it’s ineffective, but we do live in a world stalked by psychopaths and I have to believe the shame response evolved to put a check on them.
> I'm pretty sure you can't express the actual guarantee in C++ because of inadequacy in the design of the C++ type system, which has caused problems elsewhere recently too.

Far from being inadequate, it is pretty trivial to do so: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/n4vK4jeaG .

You still need to special-case references because they are not actual C++ objects and need special handling.
I don’t agree to your exclusive use of gaslighting for personal relationships, I think it’s fine to use it in any context that makes sense.

Same for toxicity, where I actually do not even agree to your definition: toxicity refers to something toxic, you are the one adding the “codependency” aspect but it works well without it. There’s no such thing as “real toxicity” btw. Or should a biologist forbid you to use the term because it originally refers to poisonous creatures and not relationships?

Anyway, would you please consider not trying to gate-keep the use of words?

I want your optimism.

Democracy is probably the least-bad system of government but this is where it really falls down. It forces politicians to think in short-sighted, tiny blocks of time. They're just trying to make it through the next ~4 years. And if they don't get re-elected their replacement won't necessarily care about the projects they've inherited.

But an effort like getting fusion to market is something that will take decades. It needs more sustained attention than an ADHD-addled government can produce.

And even then, it's unclear if an Apollo-style national push would get us there much sooner. It could maybe cut through the red tape portions, but much like throwing more engineers at a software problem doesn't necessarily help, it's unclear that throwing even more money at fusion would clear the science and engineering hurdles more quickly.
IMO we'll see sectors fall and start to recover at varying times and its going to be difficult to assess the economy in aggregate. Rates will continue to bleed out non-productive companies but large zombies might be able to survive. An additional rate hike in July is now close to consensus so I think behind closed doors the Fed and others are very concerned about large bankruptcies and contagion - using rates more aggressively to accelerate the burn might help to level things out.

Worth noting, if you don’t follow this type of news closely, that The Economist publishes a piece saying a recession either is or isn’t happening every few weeks.
We've seen the opposite. New package managers are built with a much better understanding of the problem space because of Nix and sometimes explicitly taking ideas and concepts. This results in those new systems being far more compatible and easily integrated with Nix itself. Consider the iteration towards better and better locking in python + Node. Consider Rust/Cargo.

There has also been sharing of ideas and collaboration between things us and bazel/buck/spack/etc. I think it is clear that we are all moving towards a similar end state, that often looks very much like Nix, or a re-invention of it.

For things like OCI, Nix predates it, but we should start to re-use the standard. The Tvix group is exploring this and I'd suspect our sandboxing will be OCI at some point. For outputs; we make it easy to convert a Nix package into an equivalent container. Things like flatpack,AppImage,Snap should also be easy for people to output (i'm trying to collect these "transformers"/"bundlers" here: https://github.com/NixOS/bundlers).
I wonder if this is in response to Sci-Hub/Arxiv proliferation or what else.
Anyhow, I find it beyond rich -- the authors usually do all the typesetting, spell/grammar checks, formatting etc. themselves and now they get to pay for that (or their respective funding institutions). I presume that is what would land under a "processing fee". Beyond atrocious -- some journals have their custom LaTex templates only to discard formatting they put in them at the pre-publish stage.
Also, reviewers are probably still not getting paid.

I'm not sure if that's an accurate sentiment, but I feel like there's an academic research winter with grants and funding are being slowly squeezed out of academia and moved to external consortia with loose academic affiliations (at least this is what I _think_ I see happening in Europe). If that's true, this trend of moving the paywall from readership to authorship is just sad.

I was thinking getting rid of timezones would be crazy, but I work at a globe spanning all remote company and any time anyone discusses times it's always in UTC because everyone's in a different time zone and have no idea what each other's timezones are.

> whereas others, such as the property market, show signs of recession

I'm not even sure the article supports that much:

> But recently, signs of an early and largely unexpected rebound have emerged, prompting concerns that higher rates are not having the desired effect. New-home sales jumped in January to a ten-month high. Surveys gauging the confidence of both homebuilders and homebuyers have improved. America’s property companies have reported more visitors to their show homes. “We have seen the momentum build week after week,” notes Sheryl Palmer, chief executive of Taylor Morrison, one of the country’s biggest homebuilders.

It seems more like the property market is doing unexpectedly well.
We were more productive when we were only 10. Now that we're 50 everything not only moves so much slower, but the codebase and infra degrade very fast in a snowball effect where new engineers joining the company adopt the existing low eng bar and culture.

I believe management when they say the company is still profitable, but I'm sure the bottom line could have been 20x or more in the short term if we didn't increase the headcount at all. And I don't see how the bottom line would improve in the long term as we're really slow in shipping new features, not to talk about new products. Maybe it would be better if our competitors start innovating and taking some of our market share.

The initial RFC for SNI is 20 years old this year. It's been in OpenSSL for 19 years.

> A denser rock of iron or similar might be more difficult to divert.

May be, or may be not. But I think it doesn't make it impossible to divert them, even if it is more difficult. The idea is to struck it in a carefully chosen moment, when small differences in delta-v can translate into huge differences in a probability of the impact with Earth.

A pile-of-rubble kind of asteroids seemed the most troublesome, because when you shoot it bullets can just pass through. Or asteroid can break into a lot of pieces amplifying a probability of the impact with Earth: one of pieces can strike Earth and it is can be enough for a catastrophic consequences. But the outcome of an experiment assures us that it is not a case. A lot of small boulders fly on a lot of different trajectories, but they are small, they will burn in atmosphere if they get here.

ps. I feel it is important to state that I'm not an astrophysicist or someone like this, so all written above is my own opinion that can be completely wrong.

Yet another DOA twitter clone brought to you by a guy who couldn't get it right the first time or the second.

Twitter's value is in the active userbase and cultural relevance. I'll believe it has real competition when people stop announcing their departure and quietly returning shortly thereafter from whatever dead platform they absconded to.
Worth noting that this is unlikely to spread worldwide.

The scheme requires a deal with the power company. Power companies, if they refuse the deal with Tesla, get to charge the customer full retail price for any energy used. They are buying that energy at super low nighttime rates, so they're usually making a large profit margin.

I think it only works in Texas because the regulator requires power companies to accept a deal like this. Ie. is is legal for a device within your home to use power, but the power it uses gets self-metered and then subtracted from your utility bill, and the power is bought from the wholesale market by someone else.

Personally, I think this is a good thing. And it would be nice for all electrical devices to be sold bundled with power use for the first few years. That way, the manufacturer of your dryer/washer/aircon has a direct incentive to make it energy efficient, even post-sale.
I actually read the article. And it's a thousand and first such article about the same problem. And the "solution" the article suggests is a non-solution. It's a ridiculous clutch. But, people who are used to Python are accustomed to living with clutches and patches where none are really necessary.

Python's multiprocessing doesn't hold a candle to Erlang's processes. It's a subprocess.Popen('python') with extra steps and lots of pitfalls. Erlang went through several iterations of process schedulers, several iterations of interfacing with foreign code from Erlang processes... Python developers don't even know yet they will have to solve these problems once multiprocessing becomes more mature (but it never will, so, who cares?)
> The point of publishing something in a journal is to have people _more_ able to read it, not less!!

There won't be anything to read if most researchers are gatekept out of publishing in the first place.

> Generally people without funding support e.g. from 'developing countries' are able to publish for free via a fee waiver, as the article suggests.

Money issue is an issue in a lot of countries, not just developing ones. In France research budget are slimmer every year and it's not unusual for researchers to pay things like travel to conferences from their own pocket. Even when the institution is paying, it's often only refunding months after the fact, so researchers have to pay in advance and god forbid they ever lost a paper or else they won't see their money back.

And then there is the case I mentioned in other comments like myself who are out the academic system (or tries to enter it but have no support yet) but still having papers they want to publish. I don't want to shell out half or a full month of salary to publish a PDF that will be read by a dozen of person worldwide.
That's pretty hilarious. But honestly I respect keeping expectations as realistic as possible. It's very likely the execution of it will have a loading graphic somewhere.

I like the idea of setting some variable somewhere, and the Rust Coreutils output JSON, and we can use 'select' and 'where' rather than shaky scraping libraries.
This is what Flatpak tries to do; provide "portal" APIs, that only provide a small slice of your system (one file, one folder, one screen to share), instead of allowing rampart access to the entire system and hoping that the program does nothing wrong.

I also wish more Flatpak applications actually used those sandboxing options.
I don’t see a mention to this, but in event-driven architecture it’s really really important to either strongly guarantee order (affecting availability) or you need to design it around commutative operations / convergent state machines (better availability, but harder to design). Without either of those, it’s asynchronous CRUD and it’s much harder to guarantee correctness under concurrency.
> How do you know your ability to write React apps today isn’t as much of an industry dead-end over the long arc of technological web history as was writing AngularJS apps 10 years ago? Seriously, how do you?

There's a long, long line of flash-in-the-pan frameworks that never really gained traction -- and then there's React (which _isn't_ a framework, but fine, let's roll with it). AngularJS, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Preact, Ember, etc all contributed to the ecosystem and then more-or-less faded into relative obscurity. But for all that time -- since 2014! -- React has done nothing but grow _even more popular_. It's not like React is an equal choice among others; if you're building a non-trivial web application in 2023, it's the default choice and the only one you _don't_ have to justify.

We let a million flowers bloom, it was chaotic and confusing, and now that time is...mostly past. I'd have more sympathy with TFA if it had been written in, say, 2017 -- but to assert that "React could just fade away like AngularJS!" in 2023 is just willfully blind to reality.
""I spoke to everyone and they all think I am wrong" is a different statement than "I spoke to everyone and they all think you are wrong".

Continously being told to "be wrong" can instill such doubts, but more precisely it would be me worrying about you "seeing it wrong", not accusing you of _being_ wrong about something. Your quote does not necessarily carry that meaning.
Good article. Nothing new though. Those who work on RTOS, OOP know better.
In my case my 20s would be stagnating if I had stayed. Its hard to predict how exactly it would have gone but most likely I would still be with my parents working a job (or jobless) that barely pays anything.

Not sure how I’ll feel about this when I get older if I’ll miss my country/people there more or less.

Thanks for the tip. That Brother unit is quite a big bigger, particularly the depth. I most like the Fuji Xerox for being so compact (it has a tray that folds out to store the paper).

Fuji Xerox:

Weight 4.6 kg

Brother HL-L2370DW:
W 356 x D 361 X H 182 mm
Weight 7.2 kg

But yep, the Brother units are certainly good for performance and cost, and I'd probably go for one of them rather than an HP.

Also can we get multiple timers yet? Why is a device more powerful than the computer we used to send people to the moon limited to one timer?

I think a better phrasing is "I know you don't want to dig shit and I don't want to dig shit but there's someone out there willing to do it if I offer them enough money". Offering money in exchange for work is the better, fairer option because no one has to take the job if they don't want it. Offer enough money and someone will value the pay more than their dislike for digging shit. The problem with such a system is when other things get distorted through monopolies or collusion that result in an unfair market or limited choices. It's a classic baby-bathwater situation, keep paid jobs but get rid of market distorting factors.
I prefer the Universal Audio Volt series over the Scarlett. Plus, if you ever think of upgrading you'll have some familiarity with Universal Audio, who is a pretty big player in this area. This is coming from a guitarist perspective, in case it matters. I really like my Volt.
right - like the lengthy comment on this topic on an earlier day lamenting "you can only buy three" new houses.. A fellow and his two buddies would have a fun ritual of going to new home sales lots and buying with good credit as many houses as they could together on the first day. Then, they unwind the position to actual buyers for a profit.. good times!

I find this faux concern tacked on at the end unconvincing. Everyone who's been in tech a while has learned some things that proved to have a short half-life. It doesn't mean they are doomed, they just learn the next thing and keep on going as progress marches on. For example, the poor ROI of my investment in learning jQuery in 2013 has not stopped me from having a very enjoyable career these last 10 years.

I'm no React zealot and will tell you I intentionally avoid trying to build frontend expertise because these things tend to fall away so quickly. But despite my healthy skepticism, I genuinely don't understand the angry and bullying tone coming across in these type of articles lately. If you don't want to use React, don't use it. It's very simple. I don't see why it's so offensive to you that others are making different choices.

When you say "I don’t think most React developers have evaluated shit!" and call their decisions/preferences "ludicrous", the only thing that comes across is that you apply "I don't agree, therefore others are stupid" as your primary lens. Which, fine, if that's how you want to conduct yourself. But it's not the sort of approach I look for in my leadership.
