>Because when a environmental group tries to block some dirty mining project

Which is also usually driven by financial interests under cover of virtue. It is most obvious in Europe where many people now have become multi millionaires, largely of government imposed enrichment schemes.
But this started with, "We need to realise that 9 euros or 49 euros makes no difference." It does, for me, and lots of people like me. It's fine for you to think we don't matter, but your claim that people like us don't exist is false.

In fact, in central Berlin people that cycle as a primary means of transportation is extremely common. (I honestly can't think of a single of my friends who uses public transit daily.) €9 vs. €49 makes a difference for people who use public transit as auxiliary transit, not primary transit.
but what for?
Super weird. Almost like not having ruthless a-holes as the CEO makes a difference.

> But many landlords are just normal people with other jobs, where being a landlord is not a job to them, but an opportunity to earn money by renting.

That's no excuse for not returning a tenant's security deposit though.
This applies to anything. Never trust someone's word until it gets written down and signed

Actively distrust the company you're working for. They will f* you over if you stop being useful to them. Always look up for yourself, and do what's right for you, never the company. You're not the owner and will never be.

Using autotools on Windows is a PITA. And as much as cmake syntax sucks, at least cmake properly supports Windows and MSVC.
Sigh. Yes, perhaps you are accurate that it’s not always 2x but your 10x things is pretty childish.

So what if it’s not 2x but more? Why are people like you so resentful of someone building something cool you literally can’t wait to point out any flaws. It’s sad tbh.
WebSSH has been serving me well. It's simple and convenient.
AFAIU there are some people in LANL that have been for quite a while on some kind of holy crusade against Fortran. Their opinions AFAICS aren't really shared by the computational science community at large, or the other US nuke labs for that matter. They regularly produce statements or reports like this one.

As for the question in the title, yes Fortran will be around in 15 years. Perhaps the share of Fortran in new developments is shrinking, but more due to Python, Julia, MATLAB and such, and not C++.
This reaction on the mother's part seems to at least superficially confirm the diagnosis.

I suspect that this could have happened at any institution. Bureaucracy is the same everywhere. There are always weak links, misjudgments, selfishness, ass-covering. IMO this is clearly a human problem.

There's not a better institution. Nobody can be trusted with this dangerous research.

What source distribution?

Many replies seem to imply open source by default. Of course projects may have specific requirements, and open source is indeed a specific use case, but the majority of software is commercial, closed source.

Regarding compiler versions, many projects I worked on actually check that during the build because the code may only have been designed for or tested against a specific compiler/compiler version. In general upgrading the version of the compiler is an activity in itself because, indeed, this may require solving new warnings/compilation issues and a full test campaign.
This is no substitute for laws that protect tenants, and an authority that actually enforces these laws.

Indeed the very existence of such a site indicates how badly the system is failing tenants. If landlords were held to account via conventional means, there would be no need for third-party rating websites at all.

for fortran, the intel one (ifort) generally produces much faster binaries. The NAG compiler is known for having great warnings / quality control and pushes you to write better code. Both are available for windows compilation. I do not know the others, but GCC is very good if you do nothing performance critical (but then again you're writing fortran...), you want good but not great checks, and you do not need windows binaries.

Everyone I met who writes fortran (mainly for quantum chemistry, solid state physics programs) uses multiple compilers to ensure the highest quality code.
I agree with the article, but to be fair, all software aims to simplify a task. So calling a procedure "simple" is usually done in comparison with what used to be more difficult/complicated.

Though my biggest annoyance with this is when it's part of network protocol names: SNMP, SMTP, TFTP, etc. What you usually find when working with these is that they're far from being simple, so it borders on false advertising. Maybe they start that way, and that is the author's vision, but when they mature it often stops being true. Or maybe they were simple compared to what predated them, and for their time and place. But it's still a bad idea to name a protocol or standard that.
Agreed, Shortcuts are massively under utilized.
You're still treating it like it's art. It's just Content now. You might as well be contrasting a Dubble Bubble wrapper to a Bazooka wrapper and talking about the importance of the colour blue to Bazooka's dominance in the Age 3-7 market.
> but the majority of software is commercial, closed source

That may be true for 'end user applications', but definitely not for libraries (thankfully). I use exactly zero closed source (precompiled) dependencies in my hobby and professional work because they are such pain to work with. Thankfully these days there's an open source alternative for pretty much everything, 15 years ago the situation was much more dire.
Lobbying in exchange for any kind of favor (money, influence, etc.) should be illegal. Why would you want to focus on the almost inconsequential lobbying "for free" regular people can do, instead of the society-changing lobbying "for money" that is accessible only to the advantage of a few?

Lobbying for money is a form of legalized corruption, almost identical in form and function to the illegal one, except designed to protect those who already have a lot of money and power from any legal consequences.

Strange timing since Siri has recently gotten a lot better and looks to be revamped entirely in iOS 17.
We haven’t had a good track record in recent years of businesses honouring the spirit of the law. For example cookie consent banners with horrible dark patterns aren’t necessary to operate in the EU but some companies feel this is a better approach than reducing the amount of data they harvest. Likewise some companies will see this new legislation as an excuse to collect more data too.

The fact that a lot of social networks require or request phone numbers “for security” rather than TOTP codes (for example) is another such example of how data collection is hidden behind “safety”.

You just listed a bunch scary sounding financial buzz words, but I doubt that a thorough analysis of them would support your conclusion.

In fact, many have the opposite effect and result in more efficient price discovery. Take naked shorting for example. Without shorting, it would be far more difficult for an equity research firm to be incentivized to look into fraudulent stocks, as was widespread with Chinese companies a few years ago. Without their efforts, stock prices would have remained inflated for longer.

Oh you use plenty of closed source software in your daily life. The majority of software out there is closed source.

Edit: the applications you use on your desktop represent a very small portion of the software running in the world, including software that crosses your path on a daily basis and so 'software devlopment' is not synonymous with open source.
>However, people often ignore that there is an equal and opposite side to that coin, and people with ADHD can hyperfocus to an absurd degree on tasks they enjoy. An internet connection and a desire to learn something is a powerful combination for someone who can shut out everything else in the world for several hours at a time.

My personal experience is that I simply can't direct that hyperfocus. While I tend to hyperfocus on things that my brain considers "fun", the object of obsession is changing frequently (today it's some programming language, next week it's something totally unrelated like lets say hypnosis). Never enough time to build a foundation in that field/topic. For me, the ADHD is debilitating, and not some type "superpower", as I've read numerous times.
> I agree with the article, but to be fair, all software aims to simplify a task. So calling a procedure "simple" is usually done in comparison with what used to be more difficult/complicated.

It follows that calling anything "simple" is redundant. Either it's implied (i.e. "of course it should be simple, otherwise I'd just use X"), or it's wrong. Indicating the difficulty of anything has no place in any technical text.
You should not get SOC2, ISO27k, etc certified unless a customer demands it. Even then, as a 1 person company, you can probably push back and stress the simplicity of your operation to avoid it.

Not really. As far as I understand, the booster is only for launching from Earth. From elsewhere (moon, Mars) Starship can launch alone.

If you can use it for research/purpose purposes, you just do, and if you manage to build something good enough, you can get funding to train your own model then.

Also, with business there are few "can do / can't do" - it's about managing risks. If a penalty for doing is negligible (FB cannot catch you abusing license in private), from a business standpoint there is no issue in doing so - especially with things that are ethically kind-of-ok.
A huge number of instructional videos would be far better-served in an illustrated post on Substack. For instance, there are a ton of Stable Diffusion instruction videos that feature essential code and other text-based information which is very hard to make usable with video content. In many cases I have had to download the video and export it raw in AviDemux in order to try and glean the text-based content from the source.

But Substack doesn't have the same sweet 'influencer' ecostructure, so many creators and posters would rather put a tute in the wrong medium and get the 'follower' benefit than suit the material to the medium.

It sounds like you are thinking about the water coolant being in or behind the steel plate.

But if you pump water on top of the steel plate there it can instantly vaporize without blowing up anything. If you have sufficient flow then that can keep the steel plate from melting.

> It puzzles me when people use YouTube for learning. I'm not saying that high-quality educational content doesn't exists on YouTube, but in my experience, it's rare to find a video that explains a concept better than a book or docs.

Tell me you've never watched "DIY/home improvement/construction/car repair/any other repair YouTube" without telling me you've never watched "DIY/home improvement/construction/car repair/any other repair YouTube".

I shouldn't be snarky but the value of seeing someone fixing or making something on video far outweighs that gained by reading about it in a book or looking at static pictures. You can see more easily how everything fits together, how much force you have to put on a bolt to loosen it, or whatever. The information density of a well-made video on such a topic is far higher than you'd get from a book simply because you can see exactly what's happening.
In the Spaces thing, he described it as being like an upside-down shower head, and to expect lots of steam billowing out during launch instead of dust, so I don't think it's a closed system.

I edited my reply during your reply to clarify.

But when I look at the tools and applications I use daily, there's only two important applications that are closed source: VSCode and Chrome (and even this is debatable because both of those tools are just thin wrappers around Chromium: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git).

That's significantly slower machine than M1 Air. The screen is much worse, the actual battery life appears to be half of the M1 Air and there are all kind of other things like the sound quality or the trackpad that fall pretty short.

I'm glad you are happy with it, for 500 bucks seems like a fair deal, but this is nothing like Macbook Air.
In general I hope this Bill doesn't pass, because it's extremely poorly written, and based on the list of exceptions and the loose wording, I'm not sure the Bill authors have any idea _how_ any of this should be enforced.

https://www.schatz.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/protecting_kids_...

That's the actual Bill, and it's quite a fast read and in fairly plain language, but it's mostly an empty several pages.

Multiple times the Bill states that it is not to be construed as a requirement for Government ID, but then in Section 7 regarding the pilot program, it mentions these as a reference on how to validate users in the pilot program. No other definitions or examples of "reasonable". In fact, the validation method in Section 3 simply says

> IN GENERAL

> A social media platform shall take

> reasonable steps beyond merely requiring attestation, taking into account existing

> age verification technologies, to verify the age of individuals who are account

> holders on the platform.

That's not a ton of guidance besides Government ID's referenced later on, and leaving it to "reasonable" is really too vague; if a user signs up with a gmail email address, is it enough to assume that because Gmail requires a user to be a certain age that they are validated? Is it Gmail's fault if it turns out the owner of an address misrepresented their name or is it the social media company's fault? How exactly are the Social Media companies supposed to validate this?

More importantly, how is an individual supposed to validate it without giving out more information on themselves or spreading records of their Government Identification to a bunch of sites?

The exceptions list in Section 2, Paragraph 6 subsection C is way too big and you can guess the businesses that the Bill has in mind for each entry. But it's also so loose; if TikTok starts adding in-app purchases for the items in ads you get, is it now exempted under ection 2, Paragraph 6 subsection C item i? After all, it's facilitating transactions now with the algorithm, and logically a guardian has given consent to use the platform if they forked over their card number so their kid can make purchases.

There is so much loose language and intent here when the crux of the bill is hidden under Section 6, which is to tone down the algorithm usage.
A parallel society is developing in parts of Muslim Britain (2021)
Kind of, but not exactly.

In the end it's content that matters, not the form that it's send to - I don't care if it's my grandma sending me offers for viagra pills, or a spammer, and I don't care about the language either - I just don't want to get such offers.

On the other hand, if there is an e-mail that may be interesting to me, I don't care if it was sent by a human, or by a machine - I want to see it in my inbox.

In other words - it's not about distinguishing human/machine written text. It's about distinguishing content that is worthwhile for me from the one that isn't.

People will overlook all issues if there are games they MUST have.

Sega sadly never had anything to rival a GTA, MGS, Final Fantasy, Halo or Zelda/Mario - they had lots of good games, arcade games and so on.

This may be a controversial statement, but I don't think projects should distribute any flags aside from the bare minimum to get everything working. E.g.:

-std=c17 -lm

And let downstream add their own flags (-Owhatever, -fsomething,...) on top of that.
I don't believe this. I think western companies simply have higher QA standards so they qualify to be imported and this results in higher quality even if the product is manufactured in China. Meanwhile products for the Chinese market must pass less stringent QA. A company that would sell products that don't pass QA is committing fraud.

Spectre and Meltdown are two vulnerabilities unlikely to affect the normal home usage of a computer. Are surely a concern for computers that are employed in companies or where you have to manage sensitive data, but surely for the desktop user is not a concern. We are talking of very elaborate attacks that are not something you find everyday. It's something to the level that a government agency could do, not the random attaccker that only wants to encrypt your data and ask you for a payment.

Beside that in most desktop settings is even useless, you don't even care about elevating privileges with a vulnerability, since most users work with the administrator account anyway (yes there is UAC to ask for privileges but let's face it, 99% of users always click yes because they are used like this).

I usually disable mitigations on my personal computers and I'm not concerned about it.

And this works as long as everybody has the same setup as you. This is unfortunately never the case. Kernel changes, libc changes, the compiler changes and sooner or later you will break the build.
