Sounds like a false dilemma fallacy to me. Wind turbines and cats aren’t related in any way, and if both are a problem the solutions are completely independent of each other. How does painting turbine blades have any effect on birds killed by cats?
Come here to tell this story, Optane or 3D Xpoint.

It promises a game changing non-volatile memory technology (RAM) for the masses but it never took off for some unknown reasons. Backed by the biggest processor manufacturer (Intel) and the biggest RAM manufacturer (Micron).

Expecting an autonomous robot to be omniscient and omnibenevolent is BS from cool-sounding Sci-Fi stories and ivory-tower philosophers.

The roads are currently full of human drivers, and ~zero of their driver-training programs include anything resembling trolley problems.

A reasonable programming goal and standard for autonomous robots would be: "Behave like a human of decently-above-average skill, training, and safety-consciousness".

Of course if there are lots of bozos in the startup then even getting to and maintaining 50 million rows is going to be very difficult.

But if you have a small group of folks that are at least as competent as the folks at WhatsApp pre-acquistion, then there really shouldn't be any doubt whatsoever.
As you mention yourself, how many use .NET for web stuff without ASP.NET, or for databases without EFCore? Sure there are plenty of third-party "single-task libraries", but all the big architecture-impacting decisions tend to come from the ivory tower.

This kind of reply reeks of when Phil Haack tried to convince people that (the old) .NET Framework was "open-source friendly" because NuGet existed.

TypeScript is also controlled by MS and that has tons of community support. Sure, if things got evil someone would fork/reimplement, but right now Microsoft decides how the language goes for the most part.

And for writing C# on the server, the major benefit is that Microsoft has a batteries included web framework that’s very battle tested. There’s at least one good first party answer for every problem (auth, database connections, caching, etc) which is very nice as compared to finding 30 npm packages to try to put stuff together. And C# is a pretty nice type-safe language that’s as fast if not faster than Java.

As for the front-end scene? Yuck. That’s a big ol mess in .NET right now.
Legit concerns. But for what % of Apple iPhone owners do they apply?

For the majority of uses a majority of the time a standard connector is better than non-standard one. Let's just pop the champagne, toast the win, and move on.
Why answer my question with the opposite question? What reasons do we have for specifically wanting to use a microsoft controlled language?
The specific example is beside the point. There are any number of events that can happen outside of a driver's control, human or computer, that could cause this or a similar predicament, e.g. the truck could have just changed lanes abruptly without signaling

I'm new to blogging about marketing so just doing my best, I usually write about technical topics.

Happy to hear what I can improve for my next post, if you have advice.
You’re off by an order of magnitude. Coal is 35.7% of the world’s electricity supply in GWh/year vs 7.5% for Wind. So it’s only 4.7x as much coal as wind.
That’s a higher hurdle; you just asked for a more charitable interpretation than ‘shady bought list of non-consenting recipients’, which I gave you.
I’m learning Laravel now! But I haven’t deployed anything built on it yet.
A "bladeless fan" is just a ducted fan where airflow is redirected through small openings at very high velocities. As extracted wind power is proportional to the area you extract wind from, using such small opening would be uselessly inefficient even if the air velocity was high enough to make the turbine spin.

I suppose it would still be "bladeless" to have a giant duct - larger than the diameter of contemporary windmill blades - that redirect flow to a turbine in the base, but that would effectively be a giant bird blender.

So no, not really.
If Apple wanted to make the iPhone a computer replacement, and all that was holding them back was USB-C, they would have added it in a long time ago.

They didn’t. They waited until the EU made them switch to USB-C.
I learned COBOL in college just to learn it, and I loved the verbosity of it. Verbosity was kind of the point: if you name your variables properly, you have self-documenting code.

Yes, the processing COBOL does is restricting, but then my first full-time programming job was two and a half years writing RPG II code. COBOL would have been an upgrade.

V60 + Porlex + paper filters + some nice light roasted coffee? Should be $50-ish. Be warned, this is rabbit hole.

In the same vein, a simple pin cha set (porcelain gaiwan with a few tiny cups) and some Fenghuang Dancong "Duck poop" tea (鸭屎香). This can be expensive, but $20 for gaiwan and $30 for tea should be enough to taste it.

Modern mines have several kinds of sensors (pressure, accelerometer, magnetic, timer) and only activate when there's a pre-programmed combination of events (to prevent easy de-mining). They can often also be detonated or disabled remotely.

If you're actually using them for their intended use (storing your crypto), the less you connect them to your computer, the better. Check them 2-4x a year to make sure they're updated, but I wouldn't want to carry my cold storage device on my keychain like I do my YubiKey.
Apple would cannibalize their computer and iPad sales if they were supporting the thin client model like Samsung DeX. See how they already avoid cannibalization of the iPhone business by preventing the iPad to make phone calls. They protect their product lines from each other.

As much as I like to see such a feature, I don’t think Apple will ever give it to us.
I'm happy to hear this -- we work hard on our auto-HTTPS features!

Ouch, shipping fees are £34 for 1-5 kg. It would be nice if it were clear up front.

The price is still not too bad if it delivers as promised but most of these kinds of these instant meals are low fibre, low calorie, and not satisfying.
As a lifetime Linux user, I think it's obvious. A startup is about getting a product out to market as soon as possible, and hopefully as cheaply as possible, which can best be done with open and freely available tools.

When I'm in the zone, my creativity is flowing, the last thing I need is to register on some website, or to purchase a license.
>Its marketing jargon that promotes anti-consumer behavior

If consumers choose to stay in it, then that's their choice, no? I see it just as much as a scathing commentary as it is a flowery euphemism. No different from "golden handcuffs".

Regardless, I'm not too interested in going into a rabbit hole of word games. If "closed off software ecosystem storing 3rd party products you purchased" is a preferable terminology, feel free to substitute that phrase in.

>while promoting ideas of delicious fruits and beautiful flowers.

Sounds like a good things to promote.
Given that it's still fairly new (just coming out of draft in the coming months), no, it's not, but it is _in_ use, and it can be deployed by server operators and client devs in its draft state.

With low adoption comes the risk of flagging by bad actors on the network, but hopefully that goes away quickly after ECH comes out of draft.

The silver lining of having so much of the internet controlled by massive, monolithic actors like Cloudflare and Google is that when they flip the switch on ECH, it'll be widely in use within weeks or days, not months or years; and while I don't keep up with Google's involvement, it does seem like Cloudflare's been active on the ECH front with the IETF.
I see this as more of a way to profit off a monopolies dark patterns.
It’s definitely fair to expect performance to be within one order of magnitude. 4 is really unreasonable.
I was working with a bunch of COBOL programmers and learned the language as an act of solidarity. Wrote a basic API framework in it.

I really love it. I think there are a number of language features (like the memory handling) which have elements missing from a lot of modern languages.
How about things like IDE and related development tools? Same level of support on Linux?
Why not? It's a great mix of productivity and power and the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem works really well together.

You can go with dynamic languages if you're flying fast and loose, or native languages like Go/Rust if you are worried about performance but you miss out on the "enterprise" integrations of something like Java or .Net.

Speaking of Java, it's great too but the ecosystem is a jungle. It's more flexible, but that flexibility has a cost too and you'll spend a lot of time frustrated trying to figure out the right combination of configs in xml, toml, yaml, json, env, properties, etc files.
I wish USB C has a way of determining charging direction. This is often annoying when you try to use phones as power banks. Would be nice if some type C cables can be directional, i.e. preferentially charging in one direction if at all possible.
Your link says at the bottom that modals can be used for forms.
Unfortunately the perception remains, but its been platform agnostic since like 2016.

OpenJDK Port to mingw-w64/GCC
It's on my list of languages to learn, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

My first job was supporting a custom application running in UniVerse on Solaris. It originally ran on a Prime mainframe and UniVerse was one of the ways you could run this type of software on a modern system. I really enjoyed working in the Pick MultiValue environment. In many ways, this was a NoSQL database from before NoSQL was a big thing.

I don't work in this world anymore, but I've been playing with ScarletDME (a fork of OpenQM, another MultiValue database, from before they closed the source) and seriously enjoying it.

As a result of this first job I've got a special place for "old" programming languages/environments. My dream retirement job is to work for either the CRA or IRS supporting their old systems. Between the complexities of income tax and the old-school code that can never be retired I think I'd love it.
If a human driver isn't paying attention to the road, fails to see a stop sign, and drives past it causing an accident, isn't it a reasonable use of English to say they "ignored" the sign?

Ignoring can mean failing to notice something, as well as noticing but disregarding it. Words can often have multiple similar complementary meanings. I don't think the usage here is incorrect, or even misleading.

No. Teams is a terrible application regardless of the UI Framework.

This is not to say that React Native is good.

Teams tries to be your new desktop, it provides a file browser, calendar, meeting scheduling, access to edit your Office documents and take One Notes. It reminds me of an alternative shell for Windows 95.

It also has an embedded chat app. This embedded chat app has new messages at top on some tabs, and new at bottom on other tabs. It prevents me from having more than one chat open. This chat app only supports RTF for formatting (who the fuck still uses RTF?) which means it struggles to process markdown and other rich formatting. Pasting some text that it decides is going in a box can be laborious to remove.

It's just a bad app.
We like the fact that it's pay to play and controlled by one big org. There is a strong financial incentive to keep current customers locked-in and happy. This aligns well with our business model which involves b2b software contracts that last 5+ years.

They don't always get this right but if you are careful you can get a codebase to survive 10-15 years under Microsoft without too much suffering. If you latch on to every shiny new thing they release (cough MAUI cough), then you will find yourself despising Microsoft.

Stick to the basics and a vendor like Microsoft can take you to the moon with zero drama.
Nobody said that. The suggestion was that probably that if this is caused by, say, one person having a slightly wrong mental model, it's worth checking if they made similar mistakes elsewhere. Not necessarily implying fault, just a heuristic. (And given the particular author, in this case probably not super useful, but still a decent question)
It feels like it was written by AI. Everything makes sense grammatically, but somehow it says very little in many words.

Having experts ask me not to turn on my washing machine and warn that blackouts are possible is precisely the right solution.

Giving them power to reach into my home and turn off the outlet my washing machine is on is definitely not "asking."

It seems to me that we've managed to have stable power for... decades?... without having rolling blackouts or the ability of politicians to reach into my home and turn off my computer.

Microservices are oversold. CIOs jump on the bandwagon because they read a couple of articles on line and think magic happens. The last company, a spin off from a larger company in the financial sector, I worked for before retiremnent decided to port their existing monolith to a cloud-based, microservice platform. Did they need it? No. The total customer count was projected to be 25 million or fewer with an average active user count in the low 1000s, about 1800 when I left. But cloud/microservices were "sexier" to the ownership group whose plan was to sell it in a couple of years. Thus far they haven't succeeded and the microservice guru that succeeded me has been fired for failing to delivery a working product after three years. If a company isn't going to be operating at internet scale, e.g., NetFlix, Facebook, Amazon, there are usually better options than going all in on microservices. Then again, I've worked for companies that had no idea how many simultaneous users they had.
I don’t follow your argument - can you clarify?
The sandbox escape is the 'bigger' issue really.

Applications parse crazy complex stuff to do everything they do, so obviously have a really big attack surface. Often the complexity is unavoidable - if you are a web browser, you cannot avoid parsing html for example.

However the sandbox is designed to have an attack surface as small as possible (and be configurable via permissions to have the bare minimum needed). The sandbox interfaces with the rest of the system are fully controllable by Apple, so there is no need to be passing complex and dangerous legacy datastructures across the boundary either.

Therefore, it should be the sandbox that is 'hardest' to break out of.

In Prolog you can write "pure logical" programs or you can use cuts and some other mechanisms to write imperative programs in it.

The methods for writing imperative programs in Prolog are really clever but they are also awkward. (For instance "success" is often represented as a logical false and "failure" as a logical true)

I think there has been an explosion of interest in a pure logical dialect of Prolog called Datalog

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalog

when I first got interested in the semantic web I thought "OWL sucks" and thought Datalog was an interesting alternative, although it was invented in 1986 there was very little literature on it. I got dragged kicking and screaming away from the semantic web multiple times and when I got back to it again recently I found that the opinion "OWL sucks, use Datalog instead" has gotten widespread and now there are a lot of Datalog implementations and a huge literature. (Oddly, I met somebody who taught me the true meaning of OWL and how to do interesting things with it.)

If you think that materialized views, CTEs and such are a ugly and disorganized mess in SQL you might like datalog a lot. (Of course if you think triggers are a disorganized mess you might like production rules but I haven't quite seen a production rules-based database that really works.)
Haha it was actually written by a human (me) but I did use AI to proofread (English is not my first language).

It kind of sucks but domain registrars steal paid for domains from people all the time for nonsense reasons too.
To induce? Wind power is effectively solar power in another form. They remove energy from the weather system, not add.

The wind patterns are already substantially affected by the collapsing of the polar vortex as the reflective ice cover in the Arctic decreases, reducing the (previously consistent) cycling of air around the globe. This is one of the major contributors to more severe weather.

All this to say: it's an interesting question, but I think it's already too late to wonder about any effect on "normal" wind. "Normal" wind is a thing of the past.
yes for a blog or similar technical article

but practically there is a difference between thinks people believe are objectively true and things which they are less sure about or find quite subjective

IMHO and AFIK are like an emoji they add additional subtle context and should in no way be read literally

like emoji they do not belong in technical articles, but are normal in more short form text conversations

oh lord. Not just a meme language as discussed, but the language and framework design decisions alone are bad enough. add onto that the business heads who think they should use C# for their startup also bring legacy enterprise ideas with them that won't work...
This is a very insightful article -- some of it seems so obvious but in that wonderful way when something is obvious _in hindsight_, ie is written with clarity and insight.

A better title would be "Exit, Voice, Loyalty, or Neglect". The article focuses very little on burning things down.

That's far from universal though. Plenty countries and employers do offer recovery time and space, but it's not sufficient.

I've had friends who suffered CFS (known as ME here in the UK for a time) while students or shortly after finishing high school, and they did literally nothing for years with thankfully parental safety nets without recovering. I don't even recall what eventually happened unfortunately - we're talking early 1990s.
Rider (from JetBrains) is basically the go to IDE for most .net/c# devs I've met professionally. VisualStudio has come a long way but Rider is just chefs kiss.

And it is available on all platforms.

It used to use IIS express to run its applications locally (it has meh cross platform support) now it by default uses docker when bootstrapping a new application.

I've only ever developed for it on windows and very minimally on Linux, but I did not feel that the experience was worse on Linux.
Apple will gladly sell you a 100% compatible cable for $20, just like they do with lightning.
I cannot even remotely comprehend how a modern power plant with the explicit design feature of not wasting resources would be categorized as "waste".

Definitely more resources than building a few hundred nuclear power plants, but way way less wasteful than doing nothing and/or building more fossil plants.
Which is a very sad conclusion because Steve Jobs was very explicit that they had to cannibalize their own products or someone else would.
