As much as I like Czech beer (especially from 'tanks' - 400-1000 liter barrels that use gravity to get beer out and not CO2 like smaller kegs, which translates into much smoother and less sour taste), bavarian, namely Munich's Augustiner Edelstoff is by far the best lager from bottle I ever tasted.

It easily beats any 'craft' beers I've experienced around the globe, and 0.5 lter bottle costs 1.2 euro in Munich's supermarkets. Makes me think its good for my health I don't live there, would probably become significant consumer. Also, still pending with tasting it from the barrels (which should be wooden in this case, unlike basically any other mass produced beers I am aware of). They also make stronger special for Oktoberfest, another todo

I'm interested what are the roots of this common "toy language" perception?

Is it the association with learning to program and for this reason with kids?

Or is it just the syntax that makes more sense to uninitiated, and thus less like some secret knowledge passed only to the worthy?

to all antiquarian fans. Car didn't stuck in time when you got your first car. Look at the latest modern cars, it knows when the rain starts, it has climate control so you don't need to rotate hit/cooling controls. To drive to front or back car knows itself, and you don't have to switch gears every minute or two.
There is no parking break, it is automatic.

First of all, that line you quote isn't from me.

Then: Ugly as that Google thing was, its intent and effect was to prevent competition ("poaching") by a handful of big competitors. Ugly, sure, but that only represented a small fraction of the tech industry. Equating these "Google et al" of that context with the job market of the tech industry is just absurd. That being said, de-facto-cartel behavior like that on the employer side or like unions on the employee side do make the job market somewhat less of a free market.

> What people are worth and what they can get paid are not synonymous.

Aside from the fact that - again - there was no mention of "worth" in my comment, that sounds like you being triggered at the colloquial shortened use of "someone's worth" for what a person can get paid on the job market, because you conflate that by equivocation with some philosophical, emotional or moral notion of personal "worth" (all of which are subjective btw) and feel indignation at the projected idea that those two totally different things would be equal for some people. Well guess what: they aren't. The job market is not at all about what people are "worth" in those senses but only about what "market worth" not they as persons but their work time has, i.e. for what value they can expect to find someone else who will be consenting to give their money in exchange for that work time.

I avoid the term "worth" for precisely that reason: that it tends to trigger by equivocation and thus sidetrack from the rational economic background of the link between individual salaries and the job market, when in reality nobody is arguing that the "market worth" of the work someone is selling would be equal to the (philosophical, societal, or whatever other, let alone financial) "worth" of that person themself. While the former is sometimes colloquially shortened to "someone's market worth", the job market is not about the "worth" of people but about the level at which, statistically, they sell their work time i.e. at which they find someone who consents to pay that much for it.

What used to happen--and I assume still does--is that during periods of slack demand some older rigs will get decommissioned but serviceable rigs that just didn't have work for them at the moment would get "stacked" with some minimal skeleton crew for maintenance. In Texas, Sabine Pass was a common spot to stack rigs.
That distinction doesn’t matter, and you shouldn’t do that, unless you want that portion of your code to be considered in scope for an auditor. If your code touches card data, it’s in scope. No matter where it runs.

From a myopic UK point of view it's still a net negative. They can draw in skilled employees from elsewhere in the EU and have someone else deal with the issue. UK shot itself in the knee by banning them.

And it's not even clear what the balance of benefits is, precisely. Expats often return eventually and boost the local economy with money saved while away. Certainly what's happening with Poland - yes there is a pinch from people leaving, but also a cash stream going back.
Possibly, I'm a EU citizen myself. To be fair, in my home country courses taught in English had actual tuition even if it was a public university as well. Quite a few people who did not do well on their high school graduation exams would opt for those courses just for the prestige of studying at a public uni.
One of my favourite videos is a striking self-promo clip commissioned by Shell in 1970s.

Clearly that is a problem with Subaru (and Honda from someone else?) and not physical buttons themselves. Just because some vehicles have a piss poor implementation doesn't mean the idea of physical is wrong.

I have a 2015/16 Ford and Chevy with the infotainment screens - both have physical buttons and both respond instantly to my changes. They also both have an additional volume control on the steering wheel itself which also responds instantly.

I'm not advocating everyone go buy Ford/Chevy by any means, but physical buttons - when implemented correctly - are superior to touchscreen controls.

Pascal was a lot like BASIC in that every version added their own (often incompatible) stuff because the official standard language was so limited. Certainly you couldn't drop down to assembly in standard Pascal -- that sounds like something Turbo Pascal added and may be present in modern versions because of the popularity of that.
Things are a bit different in certain graphics app domains, where you need to create complex tools for professionals (think of image editing, 3D modeling, video processing, CAD, game engines, etc.) The users demand all kinds of functionality that requires squeezing the CPU and GPU to the fullest extent. And you have to do this while designing a complex UI with numerous complex controls, and it also needs to be butter-smooth. (Also note that the majority of the low-level APIs/drivers you need to use are in C/C++!) In that case, using languages like Go/Java/Javascript creates more problems than it solves (even if you only write the core in C++/Rust and use bindings.)

Crimes are committed all the time using phones and yet, we do not allow phone companies to monitor, record and report the content of pur phone conversations. And they can't just add a line in a terms of service, they have no legal right to do it. (Ignore the issue of Metadata, I mean the audio portions of our calls)

So why have we accepted it is ok for all of our private electronic conversations to be monitored then?

These are horrific crimes descrbied here but all the solutions proposed reinforce the idea and start from the presumption that every SV company has a legal right to snoop on every conversation you have on their platforms.

I don't think you can have it both ways. If you routinely spy on your customers to sell ads, manipulate their behaviors and build sophisticated AI to make inferences about what every keystroke and mouse movement means, then you don't get to turn your head and pretend the crimes you witness on your platform aren't real.
Great point, along with the top 3 comments making the case that latency and design are huge issues in a moving vehicle, because without good will, it's a weapon.

Why do we cover the brake lever with the index and middle finger of the right hand on a motorcycle hurtling at barely legal speeds?

Because the coming impact is the space between your fingers and the brake lever, plus reaction time. Reaction time is a function of focus, but the fact that you'll hit the stationary object in about a second at 60 MPH depending on its distance, governs everything else, save for traction.

Sadly, in UI/UX design this is well understood. For whatever reason, in the last several decades of the ascendance of design, we've not seemed to apply Fitts' Law to car driving design, presumably because cup holders.

I had hope when Peter Schreyer left Audi and became one of the presidents at Kia years later.

However, given the current state of affairs, it's clear that cars have won the battle for our hearts and minds. The kids had a point when they stopped getting driver's licenses.

Much like autonomy as a general design idea in the culture. I can only hope that we have an inflection point where the realization is that, as cars get smarter, the resultant behavior of the car is a collaboration between car and driver.

That may not have been true when a car was just a mechanical object governed by physics, but it clearly is true now.

We could quote any one of McLuhan, Postman, or one of their contemporaries, but while their insights portended the dark future we occupy, none of their contemporaries intended that future.
I am not sure I have seen any meaningfully brilliant breakthroughs in those fields though.

I take that back. One can never forget the brilliance of HiC by Erez. But other than that TBH all other “mathematical” or computational breakthroughs I’ve seen are just at best meticulous application of obvious math and computational algorithms to biological problems (and may I say poorly? Thinking back to the microarray nightmare years).
Aha! That makes sense! Yes that can be a problem. We exclusively use a single (our own) IdP so it's less important for us. But good to know as some future feature work will actually make this important.

I am a German native speaker.

But we can resolve this confusion around "spontaneously" by going to its actual origin: The English word "spontaneous" is a loan word and originates from the Latin "spontaneus" which itself derives from the Latin noun "spons" (feminine) primarily meaning "free will". It also has a secondary connotation meaning "impulse". [1]

So the common English usage is closer to how the Romans used the word. That does make sense: The Romans conquered the British isles but failed to win against the Barbarians that lived east of the river Rhine. The Germans only much later incorporated Latin vocabulary and did so mostly only in elite circles. That's possibly why "spontan" means "acting out of impulse".

Think about it this way: many people derive peace-of-mind from giving a gift whose purpose is known. Now, I can hand someone $20 and hope they don't spend it on booze, drugs, or prostitutes. Or I can hand someone a gift card, knowing they will spend it on Starbucks (not that expensive coffee isn't on a spectrum of vices anyway.)

I can't put my finger on it, but as someone who has wholeheartedly embraced a "cashless society" vision, I feel better about gifting people with gift cards instead of cash. I don't know if it's any safer to send them through the mail, but it seems customary to tuck one into a greeting card, so that's how I treat my relatives on special days. I often keep a gas station card on hand, because I don't drive, and it can be real useful to offer a fill-up to someone who gives me a much-needed ride.

I don't see any contradiction between wanting to live in a democracy and taking an active part in it. In fact, quite the opposite — I think there's something truly anti-democratic about places like Australia where voting is compulsory. In my ideal world, fewer people would vote — everyone would still, of course, have the right to, just fewer would choose to.
The complexity of functionality, that you can never really get familiar with, is a problem too.

I am running on an ancient GTX 1070 and would like to upgrade to an RTX capable card, but there's no way I'm paying the current prices. I'm not sure why the prices remain high, after the crypto crash and pandemic shortages have eased. Cost of the Nvidia license? Cost of materials + production? Unrealistic profit projections? Probably a mix of all three.
O(1) hash vs O(N) array loop is a bit more complicated - for small N linear search can be faster - no need to compute a hash function, if data stored directly in the array (instead of pointers) then there will be less CPU cache misses. Exact threshold can be determined in a benchmark but the key here here is that N should be bounded - if a user can manipulate N to be huge and you have O(N^2) somewhere in your code it is not only performance but also a potential security problem - a DoS vector.

IMHO the key to not writing silly code is to have a good mental model of how your code works and how it fits into a bigger picture which includes OS, hardware, network and other services (like a DB). This model should be updated from time to time based on benchmarks and metrics from production services but once you have this knowledge it takes almost no additional time to apply this in practice and even if you'll be taking shortcuts to save development time you'll be better aware of this tradeoff.
