Well, java in debug mode can hot swap class methods, for what it worth.

But the web is definitely the most used “GUI framework” ever, so there is no competition with that on tooling ground, even if there is nothing inherently that would block it, as a dom inspection is pretty easy to implement - just print out the tree of ui nodes.
IMHO, right now, tenure is the only edge Academia has in many areas of STEM compared to industrial labs.

> We have just as many left to die. We just don't know or don't talk about them anymore.

Yes, irrelevant products that no one uses eventually die. At present, Chromium is not one of those, and is installed on billions of devices and used every single day on mobile and on desktop. Entire businesses and derivative ecosystems have been built on top of Chromium (Edge, Brave, Node.js and all of its dependencies, Electron, etc.). If there's an economic incentive to keep an open source product going, it will keep going. Anyway, here's the repo if you're interested in contributing: https://github.com/chromium/chromium

Wrong. The evidence is that they suppressed symptoms, which people misunderstood as preventing infection/transmission.
> And Apple's JIT engine has been as prone to security vulnerabilities as any other, diminishing any theoretical benefits to the point they don't matter

It matters because first-party (Apple) vulnerabilities can be fixed and rolled out with iOS updates.

JIT vulnerabilities in third-party apps would leave those vulnerabilities up to the third-party developers to patch.

And that is before we even consider the fact that Apple has shown itself resilient against pressure to introduce back doors in iOS. If third-parties were allowed to write their own JITs you can safely assume that those third-party developers will be pressured to implement intentional vulnerabilities in their apps. And some will fold to pressure.

I am happy that Apple does this.

I don’t understand why anyone has an issue with it.

If you don’t like what Apple is doing, then don’t buy Apple products.

Why should those of us who agree with Apple, and buy Apple products because we agree with them, suffer as a consequence of other people not agreeing with Apple?

Some relevant quotes from the same author:

> The United States under a Biden administration, similar to the British, would move towards an unsustainable, and national security risk by eliminating fossil fuels, and killing people who need electricity and global security the West provides.

> The weather and climate are dynamic and ever-changing. Thus, this hysteria is a giant ploy to deprive people of freedom and liberty instead of providing them with affordable and flexible energy.

Googling the author you can see he works for a lobby group called E4 Carolinas whos biggest funders include Duke Energy and Dominion Energy both massive energy companies with a massive fossil fuel portfolio.

I think we can conclude the author has some obvious biases which benefit his employer.

> Public-college boards would be able to create “an alternate system of tiered employment status for faculty members” that’s not tenure, the legislation states. But that system would require faculty members to go through an annual performance evaluation.

That sounds closer to how most jobs work.

Honestly, I've never understood the purpose of tenure; it seems like an archaic tradition. If it's to give professors freedom to do research without fear of reprisal, it's not working, at least not optimally: there are plenty of ways to punish tenured researchers.

The professors I know personally have no expectation of ever getting tenure. Imagine that: Ph.D. in your field, work 30 years, never even seriously entertain the possibility of getting the brass ring. Something's broken there.

The best professor I had at university was in his sixties when I took his courses, and he never got tenure despite being really good at his job. The people who get tenure seem to be people who bring a lot of attention or a lot of money to the university. Both of those are only a professor's "job" if you look at universities as cynical money-making machines (a disenchantment I have slowly come around to).

I guess what I'm saying is, I have no problems with Texas throwing a grenade into this situation. I am somewhat skeptical of the likelihood of them replacing it with a better system in practice, though.

Still, some better solution must be found if we expect higher education to continue as an institution into the future. If this bill passes, I wish them good luck, and will be looking at this as an interesting experiment.

Norway overhauled their prison system in the late 90s, and their per capita mass shootings since then far outweigh the US.

You mean, they are the most reliable base load and load-following power sources we know.

It's just as easy to find confirmation that all the problems you listed are the result of neglect and politics of the past 20-30 years.

Yeah snap has a similar voting structure. A quick search says that the cofounders have 96% of the voting power.
Other way around, the installed capacity is the meaningless number, the actual production is the only thing that matters.

By way of example: install PV upside down, "capacity" is the same, but now it's useless.
Import electricity, for example. We have here a 1.4 GW line to Norway for hydro power. Generally Germany is surrounded by many countries which share electricity. There are many wind farms in and around the North Sea.

> hired and based admissions on pure skill/ability/talent

This would be great, but I will present without comment the fact that lots of large universities are suddenly getting rid of standardized-test-based admissions, which is by far the best way that we know how to do ability-based admissions.

You must understand the dynamics behind that decision to understand why it isn't currently legally/institutionally feasible to have merit-based admission.
- "one of the plant regularly leaks radioactive material"

- "Look for the Tricastin plant I don't know enough to answer precisely but it has leaked recently and a few years ago. Of course it doesn't leak uranium"

So, your original statement was an untruth. Or "alternative facts"

> of micro-breaches caused by maintenance decades ago. That's actually a sign of proper management, but a counter-argument to reliability.

So you mean microbreaches were made decades ago, the plant has operated for decades with no issues, and you call that unreliable?
I’m not from US but I’m curious what is the situation in other states?

It is and it does but being 5x cheaper means even a massive increase in cost still doesnt put it in the same league as nuclear power.

A thing that I genuinely don't understand about these mega-companies (Google being another example) trying to expand into new fields is how weirdly uncommitted they are. Stadia is another example.

It feels like a lot of these side-services get closed down because they haven't reached some minimum level of revenue (I've heard the phrase "move the needle" in relation to google)...but so many of them are in new areas. I suspect Stadia was the most popular and profitable game-streaming-service ever - but it just didn't live up to Google's needs I guess?

It's to the point that my sense is that being acquired by Google or Facebook seems like a very bad sign for the long-term health of a service. Does anyone understand the internal logic behind this pattern of investing & abandoning with such reliability?

A lot of this depends on whether you're crossing devices. If you think of drive letters as mount points it may make more sense - if you're moving between mountable filesystems obviously a move has to be a copy-then-delete; if you're remaining on the same filesystem a move can typically be a rewriting of indexing information only with very limited data rewriting.

One other thing that can be an issue particularly on NTFS with ACLs is that moving files typically retains their ownership and permissions, while copying files typically inherits the ownership and permissions of the destination. This can bite you if as an administrator you're moving data from one user's account to another because a move will leave the original owner still owning the files.
Let me fix that quote for you:

Not exactly a huge distinction there because the licenses themselves provide exemptions to copyright, so by definition you're both "circumventing" GPL and committing legal copyright infringement if you copy it and don't attribute it under the terms the code's license requires.

Of course, the entire basis for LLMs being legal is that they use work collectively to know how code/language works and how to write it in relation to the given context. In this case, the legal defense is that the tool is like a human that learned how to code by looking at CC-BY-SA and other licensed publicly-available code and assimilating it into their own fleshy human neural network.

This only becomes shaky once you add in regurgitating code verbatim, but humans do this too, so the solution there is the copilot setting that tries to detect and revert any verbatim generated code snippets.

Jokes aside, I suspect future waterfronts would be unstable and potentially toxic, due to shifting land caused by the weight of the water, erosion from the flow, and landslides from weather and vegetation loss.

On top of that, toxicity may be an issue in some areas as the water overcomes man made structures (eg roadways and basements) and systems (eg sewage and fuel delivery) that were never intended to come into contact with water.

But still…someone will market it.

Most backend frameworks can just route new requests to the updated code - so a refresh is all you need (though there are tools that simply make that refresh automatic, which is pretty much how js frameworks work as well. Intellij can also make the whole recompile-replace code function happen on window defocus, so by the time you switch to your browser, it is already refreshed. And nowadays the compile of something like Java can well be faster than whatever that npm monstrosity does)
