I’m not entirely sure this is a good thing. But it’s certainly convenient in some instances.
One thing I don't see mentioned here is unnecessary surgeries being performed on elder patients. My wife was a home health OT for a small rural county. She was primarily doing post-op rehab at home. Recently, she noticed a lot of old patients on Medicare had shoulder replacement surgeries done on them, even though looking at their medical records it was clear it's either not necessary (won't improve their QOL) or simply shouldn't be done since it introduces other complications.

Every time she encountered a similar case, she noticed it all traced back to a single doctor in the area.

It was extremely sad to see old people end up in a much worse situation because of complications from their surgery, or pass away because they got sick in the hospital. All because some greedy doctor wanted to make more money.

These old people place a lot of trust on their doctor and simply do what they ask without a second opinion.
It allows criminals to do bad things, common examples would be CP or terrorism.
I believe you don't know the meaning of the term "end-to-end encryption". Obviously the application itself (and the phone) can see the text you put into it, because it has to display that text.

"End-to-end encrypted" means "from the moment the text leaves the phone, to the moment the text arrives at the recipient's phone, the text is encrypted such that no intermediate party can read it". You must of course trust or verify that the WhatsApp app isn't leaking your text, that the keyboard you are using isn't leaking your text, that Android or iOS or whatever isn't leaking your text, that you yourself aren't somehow taking unencrypted backups and you aren't using whatever unencrypted-backup features WhatsApp might make available, etc.
The Germans need to help us come up with a word for that feeling when you click on a project expecting to use it only to find it's another Electron type application and click back disappointed.
It's the default way of communicating for politicians that are making this law. Of course, they probably don't see the value of E2E encryption because their messages are inevitably leaked by a defector in the group chat.
It's pretty easy to stash the recording device somewhere that it would take an intentional and time-consuming search to find it. No common criminal will engage in that sort of search. If you need to be worried about uncommonly competent and driven intruders, then your security needs are such that any simple surveillance system won't do. You have special needs that require special solutions.
Corporations can and 100% do send police at people or throw them in jail.

The fact that government involvement is needed is really semantics. No one affected by this decision could hold the officials responsible for this decision accountable, so the government is really an arm of the corporation at this point. This is inevitable when consolidation of wealth/power isn’t limited.
Arc isn't a garbage collector though, Arc is just reference counting. You could write this by hand.

Languages which have a GC may in some cases also do reference counting to reduce the load on the GC, but they need the GC because reference counting doesn't collect cycles.

It's trivial to make a cycle, then destroy all references to it - and in Rust that cycle lives forever, it can't be destroyed because each part of it has references from the rest. With a GC this gets collected, eventually, exactly when will vary which is why in the GC language destructors aren't as useful for resource clean-up as they are in languages like C++ or Rust.
> You claimed that essentially no individual contributions is there after 100 years.

I didn't, I claimed they didn't matter, which you are agreeing with.

Sure, scale matters, and that's also my point. You aren't Plato, you probably aren't going to be the next Plato, and that's OK. Plato matters today, but he won't in a million years, and that's infinitesimally small compared to the time-span to heat death.

And again, if your individual contribution matters, you don't have to worry about your contribution not mattering as the heat death of the universe will be your legacy.

Chomsky has explicitly made the distinction between the difference between a useful tool and science, which tries to explain things. In fact he does it almost every time he talks about this subject.
I guess one difference between the two is explainability. As we predict, test, and update, there is an ongoing narrative along the way of why we are making this change or the other. We can explain why we thought some scientific model was the correct one, even if it turns out to be wrong and needs to be udpated. In model training as it's used here, I don't think there is any such a thing.
Not that I know of, it’s just good practice to separate services like this (even if it can be more expensive and logistically difficult).
There are many solutions, including the ones you mentioned, providing deployment solutions. Some of them also offer Preview Environments, but it's a by-product (some, like fly.io, don't even offer a dedicated Previews feature). Livecycle is focused on Previews, with the purpose of improving the development lifecycle pre-deployment. That's why we built a collaboration layer on top of these preview environments: we think preview environment can help the entire team, not just devs.
BTW, if you use a deployment solution that has preview environments (like Heroku), we also integrate with that.
Compressed digital broadcasts would be my guess.

Personally, I wouldn’t use the term “excited”. The focus could just as easily shift towards nationalist movements trying to hoard resources and prevent refugees from warmer areas from crossing borders. There’s no guarantee that “resilience” is going to come in the form of technical innovation or human cooperation.

> A measly 60 fps is plenty fast for UI that feels immediate. We had this in the 90's with software rendering, you don't need a GPU for that today.

No we didn't. We had nothing close to that in the 90s.

Typing was responsive, but that's not anywhere close to 60fps and a very small region to update to boot (120wpm = 600 keys/minute = 10 keys/s, or 10fps). Scrolling benefits from 60fps+, but in the 90s scrolling jumped by lines at a time because it couldn't do anything better.

You need a GPU to keep up with smooth scrolling at modern resolutions. But this also shouldn't be a surprise. What the article talks about is bog standard stuff for all current UI toolkits. It's what mobile platforms like Android have been doing for a decade now.

Just got back from a two day trip to the mountains to do exactly this. My son (14) and I went fishing and the lodge we stayed at has zero cell service and zero internet. There is a pay phone that takes real quarters so we could call my wife and let her know we arrived safe. We slept in, cooked our own meals, fished for a few hours, read books for a few hours, hiked through the woods for a few hours, and repeated the next day.
Yeah, it's slightly unfortunate but well-established inside and slightly outside of philosophy circles.

An operator operates something, e.g. it actively makes changes. If you want to deploy an application, a Helm Chart is the correct way. It will allow you to have deterministic deployment, that you can duplicate multiple times in your cluster, and you can dry-run it and see the generated manifests.

An operator is needed when you can't just deploy and forget about it. An example is the Prometheus operator, which will track annotations created by users to configure the scraping configuration of your Prometheus instances. Another example is cert-manager, which gets certificates into secrets based on Certificate and Ingress objects, renews them automatically before expiry, and does that by creating ingresses picked up by your ingress controller.

The advantage of an operator is that it will react to stuff happening in the cluster. The drawback is that it reacts to stuff happening, potentially doing unexpected things because changes happen at any time and you can't dry-run them. Another drawback is that they are usually global, so you can't run multiple versions at the same time for different namespaces (mainly because custom resource definitions are global).

Unfortunately many people think packaging an application = creating an operator, and that operator does nothing a chart couldn't do.
Isn't this a red herrring? I thought the law didn't require the removal of E2E encryption, but rather mandated the addition of a back door that submits some kind of meta data summary to a third party service?

Sure, but ULA's within your network are still an extremely useful tool to deal with annoying problems like renumbering if you don't have PI address space (and a majority of businesses won't). It's not an ideal solution, but unless you're a large enough shop to have multi-homed BGP sessions the IANA doesn't give a shit about how much headache changing ISPs or backup connections cause and getting a new allocation causes; so ULAs fill that gap to give a non-changing, probably-unique (if you follow the proper process to generate your prefix) address space.
Nice, but it would be great if Apple fixed the UI and bugs in Apple Music first.

I can't hide the non-streaming parts I'll never use, but sometimes search keeps directing me to it.

And that's when searching itself isn't wildly broken. A quarter of the time, the search bar loses focus after each character, requiring me to click back in or reboot the app.
> It's insane.

Sorry, but I don't agree. The form of this argument is indistinguishable to me from those who argued back in the 20th century that using calculators to do arithmetic was cheating.

Writing essays is on the same road as doing arithmetic by hand, calligraphy, blacksmithing, and buggy-whip manufacturing. All of these used to be useful skills but technology has displaced them. That's the reality, and no amount of railing at the wind will change that.

What is your definition of 'useful'? Are you looking to answer a question quickly, or looking for multiple sources on a particular topic?

Why is Googling it pointless? Google is still pretty good outside of topics that automatically pull in blogspam, like "what's the best rewards credit card?".
That's interesting, with so much juice available, it seems like it would be worthwhile to pursue this project with the original hardware rather than adding in the snapshotting and emulation, which definitely makes a more robust system, but adds lots of extra power consumption.
No, clutter is definitely not cool. It is a monumental detriment to your mental and physical health and it will persist and grow, while silently weighing heavy on your mind, if only on a subconscious level.

It is a creeping tax bill that you know you can't pay, an outing when you want to stay home, and a leaky faucet that you loathe, but are too emotionally paralyzed to repair.

A cluttered space is a cluttered mind, and while the former might give you allergies or cause you trip over last week's amazon deliveries; the latter will slowly devour your life force.

So, clean and organize your spaces, dust and put some lemon pledge on your desk, and then organize that draw; the one with terrible dust dragons, scrap paper, and uncapped pens.

You'll always find yourself thinking more clearly if the places in which you reside are clear.

That's not to say you can't make a mess when you're deep in the throes of work or play. Just remember to clean up after yourself before being slowly buried under a lifetime of cluttered thoughts and things.

> how just adding `&` to appease the compiler is a common learner behavior.

If learner is unfamiliar with the very idea of references, then his/her problem is not an ampersand, but how to grasp the distinction between reference and value.

Rust makes it hard, because it takes its own view on how variable relates with its value: Rust variable holding a value behaves much more like a reference to the value than a variable in C does. It is hard to notice with Copy+Clone types, like integers, but it bites in the ass with others. Variable in C is associated with its memory. When you write `int a;` you create a variable which has `sizeof(int)` bytes of memory. It doesn't work with Rust, a place in memory is an attribute of value not of variable. `let a: i32` doesn't allocate memory, memory will come with a value, when you assign the value to `a`.

I mean it is hard to grasp at first. I came to Rust from a C world, and struggled to get this simple fact for a few months. It seems stupid in retrospect, it was written all over the place in Rust Book, but my mind took the relationship between a variable, memory and a value as a kind of an implicit dogma, and failed to notice how it breaks in Rust.

But I digress. So variable in Rust has some properties of a reference. And then there are "real" references like &, &mut, RefCell, Rc/Arc. These didn't made my life harder, they work like my C-mind expected them to work, but I assume that people who come from a higher level languages can struggle to grasp all the differences.
You are right. You are only eligible to be in a seminary if you're not married (ok exceptions exist, but then you cannot be a priest) and so long as you are not married you are not supposed to have sex.
Which always makes me wonder, what is the extend of the child pornography problem? How big is the nail compared to the proposed hammer? If I had to guess, I would guess this is hammer affecting 80+ % of the population to go after a group constituting a fraction of a percent of the population.

Sabbath is more like a special case of this. The purpose of Sabbath was a built-in day of rest for people working essentially. The impetus was of course to use that time for religious reflection. However, at least in Christianity (and I believe Judaism) there's no need to be completely disconnected from any form of stimulus. You attend church, mingle among your congregation, read, enjoy time with family, etc. The author is practicing something more akin to the forced asceticism seen in eastern religions.

Though you bring up a good point. Religion aside, I wonder what would happen to society if it was somehow compulsory to avoid technology for a day. I've found my life to be much more fulfilling avoiding computers these days. But perhaps that the ADHD talking. I am particularly vulnerable to the swaths of distractions available on a modern computer to the point that when I need to get work done I physically disconnect the ethernet cable from my PC unless I absolutely need it.
> During inspections and analysis, however, investigators noticed some unanticipated variations across Orion’s heat shield. “Some of the charred material ablated away differently than what our computer models and what our ground testing predicted,” Hu said. “More of this charred material was liberated during reentry than we had expected.”

Yeah, the first thing I thought of when reading this was NASA/O-Rings and early indicators:

> In a flight readiness review of March 1984, NASA's top managers discussed and accepted the idea that some O-ring erosion was 'acceptable' because the rings embodied a safety factor. The incidence of heat damage at the SRB joints was growing -- three of the five 1984 flights showed heat damage, eight of the nine 1985 flights, and the flight on January 12, 1986, just two weeks before Challenger.

I agree this is pretty much the best example of this feature in action... which is why I don't think it should have been made a language feature.

It's nifty, but not nearly better enough to justify its existence, IMO. Here's the alternative:

var result = await query(
'SELECT * FROM foo.bar where bar = :baz',
{baz}
);

I get it... there's that extra level of indirection. But people are working hard, as we speak, to abuse the feature.
No, because the fact that competitors exist doesn't mean that there are not anti-trust concerns, not sure why I keep having to repeat this to you but oh well.

That last bit is exactly right. The UK has proposed all sorts of plainly moronic online restrictions, which never actually get implemented.

I've made an effort to switch about half my food purchases to sustainable meat & veg... it's frankly a bit too costly as it stands to go 100%, but I suspect that's mostly because it is more niche and trendy than purely higher operational costs.

Switching back to (wax)paper wrapping and bulk supplies in general with paper baggies would probably help a bit. The demonization of paper/wood always bugged me as it's generally a renewable resource, and at least in N. America mostly used as such. It also inherently pulls carbon from the atmosphere. As opposed to refined plastics.

I've also avoided refined foods much more over the past decade. As much for health related issues as for any ecological factor. But the changes in hormonal balance in people in general, in particular in men, is pretty startling. While I can understand the desire to let it all happen and reduce populations, I think the methods are worse than the problem at this point. I don't think it's generally a conspiracy, only that refined foods are simply not as good for you, and hormonal issues abound in the past half century to century in particular.
