Our dating style did have this kind of communication too, in declaring one's intentions. Either we've forgotten, discarded it or could be the result of a more nomadic lifestyle. I'm not a historian. I'm also from Norway, but I think this goes for most of Europe. However, grain of salt.

If a man declared that his efforts towards a girl were an intention to get married, and subsequently reneged without good cause, the local community would deem him untrustworthy. This could make him unfit for marriage but also for employment. So not declaring one's intention if pressed was suspect.

My grandmother did the housewife school to make sure she was going to be a good wife, which stems from this kind of worrying about public rejection. People didn't move around so much so your local community's estimation of you was important.

As for the Japanese practice, the country was essentially "locked up" culturally until the 2nd world war so I'm not surprised old practices are still remembered. (Again, not a historian.)
Sorry I should have been clear: I wasn't expressing my own opinion... I was just trying to illustrate the point in the original article.
Haha I regenerated the results something like last week, and the PISA engine is not in the list anymore :)
My experience is that this is not the case.
I'm not sure what you are doing but I have never had these frustrations with Ansible. I absolutely love it. I think it's great for systems you never ssh into and monkey around and just as great for ones you do.

Source: been using Ansible for 8 years and SysEng'ing for 15.
Seems to be a general knee-jerk reaction from typical CS-majors and other Java/C++ "bros" around Erlang. A more mature reflection could easily see lots of potential niches for Erlang, with the big caveat from a business perspective of the relative difficulty in finding devs. I had the pleasure to encounter Erlang professionally many many moons agos, in it's originally intended role within telecoms switching, and was nothing but impressed by it.

The argument here might be less about Erlang and more about Maslow's hammer - i.e., if all you've got is a hammer then all you can see are nails.
There’s no guarantee that the SEO websites answer isn’t hot garbage too. You’re rolling that dice either way
In my observation, flossing does work . The toothbrush can't get to the crevices that a floss can. My gum bleeding only happens when I'm flossing too rough or when I'm starting to floss after a few days of skipping it.
This is my main reservation against having kids... am I just providing more meat for the grinder? To see them sucked into the marketing machine at the age of 3. To bring others into a society that is fundamentally a little sick?

It is my main issue but it is also the only thing that keeps me awake at night.
A lot of C's flaws are fixed in C++.

C++ adds a number of its own flaws, but that's beside the point when discussing C's flaws from a perspective of knowing C++.
Simula was the language my university teached object-oriented programming. This was around 1995 or so. Java had just entered public consciousness but it was too early to be considered. C++ was probably not considered pure enough to get the concepts across.

It was probably a good choice, for the time and for the course objectives. But I never used it since.
Yes, having gmail account was wild in early 2000s. Hotmail or yahoo were the only options.
I think that speaks more to how much Google search result quality has plummeted over the years more than its suitability for the task.

The trouble lies in the credible sounding results that are in fact subtly (or less subtly) nonsense.

Thank you for your thoughts. I wander if downvoters have managed to comprehend what you’ve said. I doubt it.
If you're paying more than $300-500 for a XCVU13P, you're doing it wrong.
If you're ever tried street parking in Italy, you'll know why a car that's less half the size of a F-150 is a great idea there.

Why presume you transfer in the same place both ways?
That's certainly a take lol. Funny how Amazon dominates the retail space despite nobody needing same day delivery.

I used to pay $60 per order for overnight delivery from electronics distributors. Same-day is faster and almost free. Life is good :)
Douglas Hofstadter changes his mind on Deep Learning and AI risk
“First order of business” should be to listen.

I get parachuted into companies as an interim “technology problem solver” with a variety of different titles, whatever suits the business and task at hand. Spoiler alert: technology is rarely the problem.

I always set the expectation that the first three months or so will be passive - lots of clients want results right now, since by the time they call me things have escalated, projects are out of time, budget, and some execs somewhere are out of patience - those first three months or so I spend time listening to everyone, understanding how they got to that point, understanding how the business works, understanding the project(s) and the reason for it, etc. Once we have that map we can work towards finding a way forward. This is usually something that has to come from the team and cannot be dictated by an “outsider”, and my role here is mostly to guide and mentor. We then identify any impediments and work to remove those. All of this is about process and approach, we are not really talking about technology.

“A deeply opinionated SME” is still an SME, asshole or not, and their role can possibly be re-framed to accommodate their strengths and weaknesses.

Of course, some (many) organisations are directly or indirectly institutionally toxic, and they demand immediate technology rip and replace approaches and firings to go along with that (“who was to blame for this mess?!?” Is often the ask in these places) - I don’t engage with those organisations as a rule.
Neat! Seems to support animation as well, though not clear from webpage or Github repo.

Hi, I saw the Oxide Twitter account mention you’d be answering some questions from this thread on this evenings podcast so I hope this gets seen in time. Though firstly I should say congratulations!

Q: Are you shipping Milan racks and if so what does the moving to Genoa entail for Oxide?
Seriously. An existential threat to society. Society requires several things to function. One of those things being a generalized consensus about what things have happened, what things are possible, and what should happen. Plugging your fingers in your ears and shouting nah nah nah isn't a reasonable reaction to the documented changes to society and geopolitcs over the last two decades, most of which can be in some way attributed to social media's warped influence. You correctly mention nuclear weapons being an existential threat yet you fail to acknowledge that deteriorating social and political norms make their use significantly more likely than at any point prior in the last 30 years. A lone individual was able to convince an armed and politically potent minority of the United States that lizard people are real and a threat to children worldwide. These people are now driving a race to the bottom that ends in control of the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. What's tedious is individuals who have access to enough information to damn well know better playing the part of the frog in the pot of soon-to-be-boiling water.
It doesn't matter for FizzBuzz, but in general JIT should really out-perform "native" statically compiled compilers on most real-world workloads. While there's a small penalty for the profiling JIT needs, there are massive gains for data and access dependent optimizations that static compilation can't achieve without explicit hints. For example, a JIT can observe the most commonly accessed data and re-order it to optimize for the pre-fetching pipeline. Or it can re-order operations to optimize for cache-line hotness.
That doesn't make sense. If you have loop with length you have to check both the content of the byte and the index; if you have null terminated strings you only check the content of the byte.
gfycat had/has videos, not gifs.
Yep. And the same is true of mobile gamers. I’m not sure about the stats, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of hours spent playing crappy mobile games is greater than the number of hours spent playing PC games. Mobile games don’t always look like pc games, but they sure are a giant market.
Every time I get close to being tempted to try out JavaScript again for anything beyond basic DOM manipulation, I read something like this and slowly back out of there, trying to avoid any eye contact.
Excellent question: I would also like to know the benefits of brushing without toothpaste vs with toothpaste.

Irrelevant anecdote: I had cavities as a preteen but none after. My dental hygiene is non rigorous brushing at least once a day, more if a tooth begins to feel sensitive. Last dentist visit 20 years ago.
What a silly story. They applied for a job that made it clear they were looking for someone who could proficiently program, and they couldn't do it. So they didn't get the job. What a surprise.

Asking for a list of tasks that will come up or code examples is particularly naive. Technical jobs aren't a laundry list of exact needs.

Being an engineer in any field requires versatility, including the ability to solve problems on your feet and to learn new technology, or to learn tech you already know to a greater depth, at the drop of a hat.

This is one of the few times I've ever read a story about impostor syndrome where the story teller actually was an impostor. Bizarre.
Hah, as someone who has studied at University of Oslo, many of the lecturers make sure that Simula isn’t forgotten, by constantly reminding us that it was the first language with classes etc.

Therefore, a few years back I decided to learn it a bit (I borrowed a really old book from the library) and solved one of the Advent of Code puzzles in Simula: https://github.com/judofyr/aoc2018/blob/master/day3prog.sim

I was actually very surprised at how “modern” it felt. However, neither this code nor the article touches on the real cool parts of Simula: Simulations based on coroutines.
Clearly we’ve missed the boat on buy one of these computers, but people also don’t think they’re that great.

Even it were true that the Lisa had been a simple copy of Alto software (it isn't), or there hadn't been any prototypes for a windowed bitmap display at Apple before this visit (there was), it's technically somewhat difficult to steal what you own. Notably, the (in)famous PARC visit was coordinated in fulfilment of a condition for an exchange of stocks between Xerox (who had advanced Apple on the matter) and Apple, when Apple was still a private company. So Apple actually co-owned part of Xerox PARC. (In this regard, it may be even a bit ironic that the Apple delegation was shown less than what had been the usual program for similar tours, of which there had been many before this.) Nevertheless, Apple licensed quite a bit from Xerox.

Also, it may be important to note that the focus at Xerox PARC and Apple was quite different. If there had been inspirations initially (of course, there were), these developed quite differently, even radically so. You may also say, Xerox had a fair chance with the Star, being on the market without competition for years before the Lisa was eventually released. But Xerox PARC was so much more than just Smalltalk, and Xerox still got a rich return of investment out of PARC. (So it wasn't a failure either.)

Do you mean sufficient to truly disable unwanted applications? As far as I know `pm disable-user` is as good as using the "Disable" butan in the app manager GUI, except `pm` works for some packages where the GUI option is greyed-out: https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-...

For reference here's the complete list of packages that came with Duo 2 Android 12: https://0.0g.gg/?451bfe451bb52c82#EVYRvWSafM4ZYWjPCwbRSZrKrj...

But how far would this go? If I throw some weekend project on GitHub, I need to spend time and money on this? Or is it only for commercially sold software? In both cases the large corps win again and it will hamper innovation, real free market, entreneurial spirit etc.

Most (all?) of the regulated industries you cannot just get into and compete; it’s expensive and needs resources small companies cannot have. These industries are already regulated; maybe the software (which is also already regulated) needs stricter controls, but we already have this. Why would we need more? If you are in an industry, healthcare for instance, and you use a library with memory issues; that falls under the regulations of the company creating the software directly for the healthcare provider(s). Why is more needed?
I don't think that making denigrating remarks about any group of people (even "tech bros") is a good way to start a talk. It signals to me that the speaker is more interested in identity politics, pitting "us" against "them" because that's what seems to hold peoples' attention these days, rather than serious solutions.
Nonsense. Following your logic, there‘ll be no cops left eventually.

Also, it‘s obvious the killing was nothing but a bad reflex to an intense situation. I‘m sure the cop regretted this bad reflex the second thereafter.

„According to the public prosecutor of Nanterre, two Paris Police Prefecture motorcycle officers noticed a Mercedes-Benz A Class AMG with a Polish license plate driving at high speed in a bus lane, driven by a young-looking person at around 7:55 am. The officers activated their warning signals (audible and visual) and indicated to the driver of the car, then stationary at a red traffic light, to stop. The vehicle proceed to start moving and ran the red light. The officers followed the car and alerted their superiors via radio. The car committed multiple traffic violations, endangering a pedestrian and a cyclist. Due to traffic congestion, the vehicle was eventually forced to stop.“

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Nahel_Merzouk#Shoot...

If you think you‘d handle everything correctly in such an intense situation, while your life is also at risk due to a maniac behind a wheel, maybe you should consider becoming a cop.

It‘s always easy to feel like a better human being and badmouth people from your cozy safe space, when you‘ve never been in an intense situation like this before.

A bit of a tangent, but it's interesting how many languages come from Nordic countries:

- Simula - Norway

- C++ - Stroustrup is Danish

- TypeScript / C# - Hjelsberg is Danish

- PHP - Lerdorf is Danish

- the v8 team including Lars Bak is Danish, and has developed several languages

- Erlang - from Ericsson in Sweden, though Joe Armstrong was British

Well now that I write it out, it seems like it's even more Danes than Nordic countries!

I have been working on an article about this, broad summary is that things like AI - they can do a damn lot of damage before people figure out how impotent they really are.

It isn't the technology I fear, it is how people build grand expectations on the technology and then start throwing people under the bus of the "great god of progress".

Those that are first to implement new technology are usually the most reckless, uncaring to the possible blow back provided it benefits them. Those that hold back to analyse the risks many never make it to the market because they are crushed by the move fast people.

This is why we have such rampant con's a disinformation nowadays, those that push their ideas and concepts out fastest can generally get a good head start on those that are trying to be more moral or ethical.
Her point about the title "engineer" being in nearly every job posting while basically conferring zero meaning is definitely on point, but her mock outrage about being asked an extremely rudimentary programming question surprised me given that one of the requirements of the job was JavaScript...

If it's truly an incentive, incentivize everyone. I know people who make $1 million/year who will argue over $10. $7500 would absolutely affect their behavior even though they can afford an EV without it.

I love this story because I run across jobs all the time that sound great in the title and then you read the job description - it often sounds like a list of buzzwords or a combination of multiple people into one job. It’s like she says, they lumped everything into one position.

In Canada, they're essentially running a business, and one which (decades ago) specifically avoided the socialized health system which we have for regular doctors and such now.

I've got pretty good teeth, but am certainly wary of some of the recommendations I've had. Did have to have a molar out (hole all the way to sinus), no doubts there. The regular dentist said, "hey, you should get a bridge!" The specialist who did the removal and bone graft let me know that was the worst possible choice. Better to leave a gap, or get an implant if I want, but a bridge is caps on the adjacent teeth that will eventually wreck those teeth too. So him, I trust.

There is hardly any argument that “hard science” can explain everything. Physics et al. is limited to models (maps); objective truth (territory) is the realm of philosophy.

Too bad that the latter is being subordinate to the former as of late.
I have strongly believed the best way of evaluating the state of AI is to look at what people complain it can't do.

It's taken a few short years to go from "keep a coherent story over more than a sentence" to "write a multithreaded sudoku solver in one shot".

Many programmers would fail to do this. I'm not even sure a randomly selected human would understand the question. And I'm wondering if you've setup any loops letting it write tests, search the internet, inspect and debug? If not what you see as an output is essentially it whiteboarding off the top of its "head". Programmers routinely fail to solve simpler things in interviews, and their skills are much narrower than current llms (you can easily argue deeper, but I feel comfortable saying broader).
Imo it's one of Javas strengths. If you need to, you can write ugly but ridiculously fast code. It does end up looking more like writing C than java though, but obviously your whole codebase doesn't need to look like that and it's portable.

Maybe spending long time in the dark every winter is good for thinking about programming languages.
> What's the gap between a Co-pilot written test and a human-written test?

IMHO the gap is that human-written test understands the (unwritten) specification (which might be as simple as "program doesn't crash"), and tests the program against it.

I am of the (pretty radical, it seems) opinion that the (especially unit) tests that just take the code as the specification, instead of having specification coming from elsewhere to test against, are useless. So you cannot build a useful test just out of the code, because you always need to test an implementation against a specification, or, two implementations against each other.
I like the product and can see a couple of nice uses for it. For instance I have a grafana dashboard to track my solar setup. Home assistant stuff comes to mind. Maybe some contextual stuff like showing a 5pm ‘time to get off your ass’ message.

But I do agree that being able to do all that stuff without relying on someone else’s server would be more or less a requirement for me. I’d be fine with rendering html on some other machine if that’s the problem here.
