One big difference is that DNA can identify siblings, uncles, aunts, grandparents etc. So even if I willfully allow the FBI to store my DNA, it could identify one of my relatives. It makes the decision much more complicated for society and people who want to preserve some privacy.
These "challenger" banks are a gimmick. Friend of mine recently tried to set up an account for his new business and all "challengers" refused a business account, they were slow to respond and disinterested in helping. Eventually he set up with a high street bank, but the whole thing took over a month, which is ridiculous.
The discussion isn't about C vs Python, it's about why Python won over Ruby, a language at a similar level of abstraction. Ruby is arguably even less burdensome because in many cases the libraries/frameworks do a lot of magic that would be unpythonic.

> or else they wouldn't have explicitly said it was obvious to them (speaking as an engineer)

I’m sorry but you might consider patenting your mind reading device.

It seems pretty easy to imagine engineers spending week/months/etc. solving a specific problem the solution to which might seem pretty ‘obvious’ to them when they actually manage to arrive at it. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s actually obvious ..

> wouldn't work to just provide that context to resolve the matter

Why take the risk? And even if you end up winning at the end having to prove something like that will still result in additional costs and/or delays.

Your reasoning seems to be based on vague assumptions based on a very vaguely described situation. I find it hard to understand how can someone feel so certain about it with close to zero real context.
I assume that's tongue in cheek, but EU and Europe are two different entities - UK is still very much in Europe.

I think it's far more than just the long commutes and frustration of driving in traffic.

These folks are predisposed to handle those things poorly for myriad reasons, and have established some very dangerous to pedestrians/cyclists driving norms which though illegal, go 100% unpoliced there. It's just very aggressive and driver-prioritized behavior, and it reinforces itself in a positive feedback loop turning many into psychopaths behind the wheel.

You can't even safely walk to your car with groceries in IL, the pedestrians are expected to yield to the drivers. If you get in the path of a car in a parking lot, they'll often threateningly closely follow you to try compel you to move out of their way while walking to/from your car. The drivers behave like they all own the place when behind a wheel, of course that mentality manifests as a car vs. car pissing match in traffic. Cyclists don't stand a chance in such a milieu.

Back when my family visited me in CA after moving ~15 years ago, it took just ONE day of them driving their rental to get a written warning from the police. Something about a cross-walk where they nearly hit a pedestrian after not stopping before entering the crossing zone to turn at an intersection IIRC. Turned out a police car was stopped at the intersection and witnessed it all go down. They were in complete disbelief and felt the pedestrian should have been watching out for cars, that they were in the right. It's batshit insanity in IL, and I suspect much of the US is like that to varying degrees.

CA isn't even that great, but compared to IL I strongly prefer being any of driver/cyclist/pedestrian here than over there. It may seem paradoxical that one wouldn't at least prefer being the driver in driver-prioritized IL but it's unpleasant to drive where everyone you're sharing the road with is being a psychopath.
R is great when your data is already together in one place and homogenous/processed. In that instance the workflow using dplyr/ggplot is better. R the language is hot garbage though, and the libraries available for doing random things that aren't working with certain data structures, doing math or plotting are generally much worse than their python equivalents. That is the reason python dominates data engineering, and why it's pushing R out everywhere but academia.

Brushless DC motors are always driven by inverters. They aren't usually sinusoidal inverters, and these things are more accurately called digital electronic pulse modulators, but they're often advertised as "inverter-controlled."
Making the argument that DNA is private is a hard sell. Which parts? Your unique genome? Or the segments you share with everyone else. Instead of putting the genie back in the bottle (we can't), we should have more governance around the use and storage of the data, because it's only going to get faster, cheaper, and easier to sequence DNA, store it, and move it around digitally. Can probably already store global database of everyone's genome in a few racks of storage, if not a single rack.

Very similar to the challenges we face around PII/SPI and other personal data.
let me tell you about a military 'headset'

1] doing something, even if it proves to be wrong, is better than doing nothing.

2] asking forgiveness is better than asking permission.

these [1,2] support each other in a circular discourse.

if you do nothing, you hesitate in want for confirmation of the right thing, you are ineffective.

asking permission, you hesitate in lieu of risking the wrong thing, you are ineffective rather than acting, and later apologizing for doing the wrong thing.

Basically what the sibling comment said, it’s easier to start a three-phase motor, and a three-phase motor will also run more smoothly as it is powered by 3 sine waves 120 degrees out of phase with each other which provides constant power; versus a single-phase motor being powered by a single sine wave that outputs no power at the middle of the sine wave with two power peaks, which doesn’t run as smoothly as three-phase power with no points of zero power output.
Nearly everywhere in UK has only a single phase supply, it's how the grid in this country is designed.
If there is anything in R that is better, it could be ported. It's kind of different from language intrinsics that can't be easily ported. In fact I think there's a great argument for writing a standardized data processing and visual representation layer in C++, and then making it usable from all the languages.
It would be nice if this was true for the notebook layer.

> The rapid growth of the FBI’s sample load is in large part thanks to a Trump-era rule change that mandated the collection of DNA from migrants who were arrested or detained by immigration authorities.

This detail makes a difference, IMO. It’s one thing to be doing DNA surveillance on citizens, quite different to use it to identify/correlate migrants, particularly undocumented ones.

I don’t love the overall accumulation of Orwellian machinery that sooner or later can be turned on the citizenry, but I did leave the article with less concern than I entered with based on the title.
The remote system must generate its own SSH private key; you could use that opportunity to deploy the authorized keys before sealing the system as read-only.
> fool kernel level anti-cheat

That's the problem though - if the compatibility layer can fool the anti-cheat then so can actual cheats.

Both cheats and compatibility layers do the same thing - modify behaviour.

Generally anticheat will take a "blanket" approach and ban or crash by default and whitelist specific types of behaviour.

What we ultimately would need would be a kernel level interface/process that the game talks to if it identifies it's running under linux. Which is totally possible to do, linux users specifically would hate it, and it would be a lot of work. Without this you're stuck in userland.

Honestly the only realistic hope is the steamdeck becomes a lucrative enough platform for developers to target. Valve has already made sure the popular anti-cheat software supports linux. Valve's stance has been to provide cheat mitigation through other things such as overwatch/trust factor in CSGO (which works well from my experience). VAC itself is actually very primative.

I was about to say, as much as I enjoy python.

Perl is more effective than Python. You can do some pretty amazing things in Perl in a few lines. You can also do amazingly readable scripts in Perl.

But... if you aren't careful how you write perl, it's a very bad pit to fall down to.

Python just forces you to write code that's better for the team.
>Their in-office perks were pretty much legendary

Google and Facebook's in office perks were legendary. Amazon's in office perk was free bananas. This is a meme on Blind.

>So it shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody that they are pushing for full attendance back in the office.

Yeah except for the part where the CEO has publicly flip flopped on this issue several times in the past few years:

Late 2021 - "We're going to let individual teams decide": https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/workplace/amazon-offering-t...

September 2022 (less than a year ago) - "I don't really believe that we're going to end up coming back to the office" https://www.cnet.com/tech/amazon-has-no-plan-requiring-worke...

I don't think wanting your employees and teams back in office is necessarily unreasonable, but the public back and forth on this is bad. People might have made long term decisions with huge financial consequences based on your statements. It's definitely not in line with one of the company's core leadership principle of "Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer."
That hits hard. Atleast they can’t reasonably base insurance premiums on the gene set of your third cousin, not for most health conditions anyway.

> because there wasn't another way to do it

Precisely. In some domains most customers will always choose the cheaper option. In those cases web apps resulted in a race to the bottom. Companies in those domains simply could not afford to cling to native software if they wanted to remain competitive.

But of course you still find lots of native software in domains where a critical mass of customers are willing to pay more (or sacrifice functionality) for qualities like performance, security, reliability, etc. For example: games, fintech, military, virtual reality, video production, realtime controllers. I've worked in a couple of those domains and in those cases I am confident that web apps are a very long way away from displacing native applications.

> everyone involved in it should be ashamed of the product they're turning out

Before judging people for their decisions it's worth understanding why they make them.

I know many developers who take pride in writing extremely performant software. All of them have either shifted to work for companies that are willing to pay them to do that or they've swallowed their pride to feed their kids and they scratch that itch by tinkering with open source or game dev on the weekends.

> Now we certainly have more options but like, what good is more options that suck?

I am not arguing that this situation makes your life better. It doesn't. I sympathize with your frustration and I also like using (and making) performant software.

What I am trying to do is explain how we got here because I think it could help us find a way out. We either have to make performant software significantly cheaper to build or we have to convince customers to pay significantly more for it.
"Being on the border of the precipice, they decided to act and step ahead."

Sometimes I wonder why the American public has to be subject to the all the evils of so-called "tech" companies when clearly the US government has the personnel to write safe, reliable software.

Unlike so-called "tech" companies that can smugly ignore Americans' reasonable expectations of privacy in order to generate obscene profits, there are laws that prohibit the US government from engaging in similar shenangigans. (The "shenangigans" should be crimes but money has intervened.)

Even if hypothetical government-issued software might be "inferior" to whatever the so-called "tech" companies are producing, it would still be "superior" from a legal/regulatory standpoint. Americans would have some enforceable rights as software users. (Other countries are making some progress.)

Someone is inevitably going to make a wise crack reply about government contracting in the US. But I'm not referring to contractors. I'm referring to government employees.

We'll also likely see some reply about the technical superiority of so-called "tech" company software. But I'm not referring to technical superiority, I'm referring to (a) legal/regulatory limits on software authors and (b) software user rights.
Why wouldn't McDonalds just not do that, and charge more to franchisees, and pocket 100% of the amount instead of whatever cut they have to give to Taylor?

Surely, franchisees and potential franchisees talk to each other, and if any appreciable amount of money was going out the door to fix the ice cream machine repeatedly, it would be a known cost of doing business.
According to you being among strangers is already uncomfortable, so by your logic comfortable _public_ transportation is impossible.

I'd argue that better relative ergonomics had diddly squat effect on Python's current position. It's first mover advantage, plain and simple. It got its hooks in data science like JavaScript got its in the browser.

I can say that personally using Ruby, Python felt like a massive step backward. I can see how others might disagree, but I feel like it's all in what you know first. On a certain level, most of us know JavaScript is just terrible, but there have been millions of new devs who knew nothing else and thought it's fine--better than fine, its great, it's the other stuff that's weird! But then you go on for a while, maybe eventually find lisp and/or functional programming, and you realize how brain-damaged our most commonly used tools really are.
Given what CRISPR can already do today, it is not inconceivable that DNA editing and obfuscation becomes a thing 200 years from now , modifying the genetics and DNA of the zygote and sperm aka designer babies already is a serious non sci-fi area now .

I doubt our progeny 200 years from now will have that strong a DNA connection to direct forefathers as we do now.

DNA has been used to free thousands of wrongly convicted men from long prison sentences, probably from this kind of FBI databases too.

I would rather take the benefit of better accuracy in criminal justice system now rather than vague problem far in the future.

Tools are just tools , ethnic cleansing and eugenics existed far before DNA was even discovered , lack of tooling did not stop them

The things PHP had that made it win (for a while) was that it was easy to set up and configure for a hosting environment (Apache plus modphp worked out of the box consistently) and the HTML first design made it easy to add to static web pages, whereas forms and CGI was multiple steps and more confusing for less experienced devs.

> believing that they will be able to work remotely forever.

A lot of people turned the pandemic into what they wanted it to be. Some people wanted movie theaters to die, some people wanted to wear masks forever, some people wanted to believe in a conspiracy that they'd be forced to wear masks forever, and some people wanted to never have to work in an office again.

But the pandemic was always going to be a temporary situation, and should have been treated as such, no matter how much people wanted it to become their pet transformation of society.
