I like this strategy because it maximizes the value you get out of old books while you minimize the value of new books. A phenomenal and important book could be published today but the optimal strategy is to die before the Lindy effect becomes apparent and let another generation enjoy its value. This makes sense because books have a finite value that is divisible by the number of readers they get.
Jetbrains has plenty of extensions (1st party, high quality plugins that are far better than some of the 1st party Microsoft plugins) and no one cares if it's by Microsoft (what does "commondize code editors" even mean? Do you really think any vscode users care?).

Honestly, I doubt most people even care it's kind-of open source (1).

> 1. Free

This is the reason most people use vscode.

That's it.

It's free, and it's pretty good.

It's not better. It's just free.

Nothing wrong with liking free stuff; free stuff is great; but don't confuse 'it didn't cost me anything' with 'it's good'.

There's a difference between value (ie. for what you paid, you got something that was worth significantly more than you paid, which in this case is zero) and quality (independent of cost, the thing is just plain old good).

vscode may be more valuable to people than jetbrains products, but it isn't a higher quality product.

There's a massive difference between those two things.

This is pretty normal, depending on the amount of variation of course. Basically, for each calculate the spherical equivalent (SPHEQ) = SPH + 0.5 * CYL.

If SPHEQ is within 0.5 diopters of each other it’s more or less expected.

This is the short version and there’s a lot more nuance (like the AX and ADD values on the Rx), if anyone is interested or has questions I can add more.

Not the person you were replying to but I've found VS Code treads the right line for me between editor and IDE. It feels like a text editor first and the UI is pretty similar to SumblimeText and TextMate which I used before, neither of which had much in the way of IDE features.

But I think the reason VS Code has become so popular is that along with its editor centric UI it has Emacs like extensibility. Plugins are easily written in JavaScript and it originated the Language Server Protocol which makes it possible to write language integrations in the target language.

I've not used the newer version of IntelliJ since the redesign, but I always found it somewhat overwhelming, with all this stuff which prevented me from focussing on the code I was writing. The old version had pretty poor UI performance too, whereas the VS Code UI is fast enough that I rarely notice any UI slowdown.

Nevertheless IntelliJ is pretty indispensable for Java/Kotlin development. It's code sense features are excellent and there are a lot of projects out there that don't really build except through IntelliJ's automatic Gradle setup.

FWIW the only pop-up like things I see with VS Code are extension suggestions when I open a file with a new language extension and the monthly update change logs.
Idk man. On one hand it seems like a neat idea. On another hand, it’d be kind of jarring to have one group of people laughing because they are at a fun scene in the movie while me and my friends are in a suspenseful part of the movie.

Or worse yet, me and my friends are watching a scary horror movie, but another group of people are watching a comedy and they are constantly laughing.

It depends who your clients are. If clients are public/external users, probably not.

If clients are internal services you own and you control as part of a internal distributed service, it’s a nice pattern
Better? Sure, for you maybe.

Overwhelmingly the word I'd use to describe Discord's interface is "one". There is one interface. It's an interface that most people seem to like, but we've lost an important freedom there. It's against the EULA to modify your client or use an alternative one.

If with IRC one can have any interface, I would not call Discord's better.
To put one more option out there, we use Hikaru (https://pypi.org/project/hikaru/) in Robusta.dev (https://github.com/robusta-dev/robusta) and have been pretty happy with it. Example code below:

I prefer the HoTT/univalent foundations approach, which is about equivalences, which seem to me to capture a deep essence of what mathematics is about. Arithmetic starts with the idea that you can make some marks on the paper and manipulate them according to certain rules, and this somehow corresponds to how many sheep are in your field or what have you. Geometry starts with the idea that you can record some angles and then after your fields have flooded you can put the boundary markers back in places that are somehow the same as the places they originally were. Lists, sets and graphs are formal systems with arbitrary rules - but, crucially, they're equivalent to things we care about, and we can lift results about those formal systems (where they're easy to calculate) back along that equivalence to be facts about those real things (where they're useful).
Windows has Linux and Photoshop has Krita. the open source equivalents aren't neck and neck competitors, but they grew to a point of influence where you can't ignore them. They have sizeable communites, and various professional usage.

Office is the rough one, though. There's LibreOffice, but it never seemed to improve on its UX. and in the meantime Google docs came and became the big competitor.
Maybe you don't deliver products like that, but Apple delivers them all the time. Then you have to desperately raise noise on all possible forums, and hope to catch the eye of someone who actually works at a relevant team at Apple, before your customers get too tired of the issues caused by the bug and abandon you.

This is not an Apple-specific issue either, Microsoft works just the same. Large OS releases are a massive undertaking, and the release train don't stop for a
firewall bug - no matter how severe the bug is for the people it does affect.
Using it and demanding that they lose pretty much all power over their own product, is nearing socialism.

What you didn’t mention before, but now you are, is that you would choose a different product that works as you described. That sounds better. The only problem is that it doesn’t exist. Again, no one is going to spend $1 billion to build a system for everyone else to essentially have native integrations into as they sit back having spent all of that money to build this hypothetical extremely flexible product. Those types of ideas are basically the typical HN pipe dream.
Ah..might be too confusing. And I kind of what to have it correct so someone else can't have that.

And also just because I really like the original name, it's the values (do, say, go the most common verbs in many languages besides to be; and it's like I think the company should help people with what they do, where they go and what/how they say), but it shouldn't tell them who they should be so; for me it's really core) kind of important to get right ha ha

Isn't there some way to just change it? I don't know...

I think DBA would work for first-class products or whatever...but not for the name when it's so close.

It's on track to kill 200 thousand people this year in the United States alone. It's likely that millions will die this year worldwide, and tens of millions will become disabled to some extent by long covid. The usual response is "this is a small number compared to the total population," but it's still millions upon millions of people. Health care systems around the world are already stretched thin, and the increased burden caused by covid will only make things worse.
I am not an expert in this field but what is described in the article is anomalous (long distance) FM transmissions.

I guess they used FM because existing FM diffusion had mandated the creation of lot of FM emitters (one every 70 miles/100 km) so it enables to cover a wide area.

I agree about this.
Half the time I hear of Mac OS updates, it's people having their Macs bricked because they didn't wait for patches to the main release to come out. Every major release seems to have major issues. At least this doesn't render your Mac completely useless.

There’s multiple companies bringing this to the market as telemedicine (edit: yes already now in the US). Basically you do an eye test (to measure visual acuity) at home using your phone or computer and an optometrist reviews the data and approves / re-approves your Rx. Then you can order online.

For limited prescription ranges it is also possible to give out a complete Rx via a remote examination but FDA has yet to approve a device on the US market for this. In the EU it is already being done.

Disclaimer: I worked for one of these companies.

ReactOS Shown Running on Valve's Steam Deck
This is what happened to me last week where I live (Spain). Went in to a new optician office, the lady took my old glasses, put them in a machine which told her the prescription, she told me to put them on and then gave me the classic exam with the small letters on the far side of the room. Once she determined that everything was fine with my current prescription, she let me pick out a new set of glasses.

I was in and out in 20 min with a new set already ordered.

When I was in the US, getting a job done like this would be unheard of.

Yeah it's a historical difference, and Unity literally kicked out its best chance to compete in that space with DOTS.

But on mobile it is king, and mobile is starting to get games that can rival AAA studios in presentation. Genshin Impact and the rest of Hoyoverse's games are all in Unity, and while not confirmed I wouldn't be surprised if Project Mugen is also running Unity (given that most of NetEase's portfolio relies on it). So it has the capability to handle AAA games, even if no one in the west is utilizing it.

Even if you "skip the API" you still have to think about access patterns for the data, otherwise client-side query performance is going to be abysmal. You would basically have to define your "API" via what indexes you create on the data.
> This system consists of two 50W solar panels on the balcony, a 100 Ah lead-acid battery and a 10A charge controller. The energy generated is used for lighting, the music system, and charging laptops and other electronic devices, among other things. The initial financial investment was 340 euros: 120 euros for the solar panels, 170 euros for the battery and 50 euros for the charge controller.

There’s the problem - the expensive lead acid battery, which is not the best technology to fit the application.

I get the overall point about load shifting to suit solar output, but the point about storage being prohibitively expensive falls flat because they didn’t use the right battery.
As I said in my reply to amatecha the existence of EM phenomena caused by earthquakes is well established but that relationship isn't yet well quantified—we can't turn the effect on to just suit our testing. That's the advantage of amateurs monitoring 24/7. We'd eventually catch it this way I reckon.

It is possible to prove that a piece of code matches a given mathematical specification. That spec has to be good though, and there can still be hardware failures (e.g. bitflips), problems with the environment (if not proven correct as well), and more. It theoretically is possible though that way to at least 100% secure a not-too-complex piece of software by itself (without hardware).

Hmm, this isn't really so accurate, there's a reason racing yachts try to reduce weight in every possible way they can, it does make a difference. You could say that adding a carbon fibre sail also makes no difference to weight versus the keel of a boat like Sayonara or Brindabella etc, but it's still worth saving the weight for the best performance.

And also, your point about top speed isn't wholly accurate either, you can get 36 foot boats now which can make 15-20 knots, which used to be thought to be almost impossible. But this is possible now with the advances in boat building techniques and materials.

Waterline length obviously makes a difference but if your boat is heavier, the wetted length and drag are going to be much greater. Also, lighter boats can crest over heavy seas in a way heavier boats can't reducing the slowing effect of a heavy sea, so even out at sea without making any maneuvers, you gain performance. Also, if you are tacking then acceleration is kind of a big deal, since you lose speed with every tack and have to regain it.

You should look at some of the maxi yachts and see the speed and acceleration they are capable of and understand that weight really does make a difference.
I very much doubt that will happen.

Mostly, because if you want that experience, you can already have it in the comfort of your own home. Why go to a cinema for that?

Helix is great! I learned Vim around five years ago, and bounced between it and VSCode for a while. I started using Neovim full-time for work and only moved to VSCode when a plugin upgrade broke my config.

Now, I use Helix too — it's not perfect, lots of quality of life features are missing, but upgrading _one thing_ and having it work correctly is really a pleasure.

Low quality rambling in the article. You can make the same claims about any company that produces and sells their products in China. The size of its market is already a factor in itself.

Nothing compared then or since to VB 6's ease of layout and GUI-centered approach. It was a language that was easy to use and WAY less complicated than C#. To me, complicated is a huge drawback. Give me just enough tools to make something that works. VB6 was absolutely fantastic for prototyping. I have absolutely no need for 200 methods for every expression that I have to go lookup every time (this is why IntelliSense even exists), having to think about bullshit like "syntactic sugar", aka "the only way to do something because it's otherwise too hard to remember", which to be fair started with javascript frameworks, but applies equally well to .NET.

The whole dot paradigm took a group of people who were very comfortable with a language and tried to turn their brains inside out. Ex: x.ToString doesn't have the same intuitive recognition as Str(x), nor can Str(x) be as easily muddled together with 3 other methods. Call it simple and meaningless, but .NET is profuse with these turnarounds, and they required people to re-learn everything, even the simple stuff. .NET adds layers of complexity by enabling super-spiffy compact writing of multiple operations with complex operators all on the same line that is far too easy to get lost in and that frankly, is unnecessary. I'm talking about things like delegates, lambda expressions, extension methods, and async/await. These are cute if you're super nerdy, but for most of the rest of the world they take something that was easy to use and contort it into an unrecognizable mess.

VB6 was just complex enough and graphics-centered and they moved it to a hugely overly complex and language-centered model. It made no sense to me. Of course, everyone who thought "real" programming should be harder embraced C# like it was manna from God, and this by and large is the thinking that killed VB6. It was a complete paradigm shift in the wrong direction for visual thinkers.

If I had to take a guess without any proper research:

1) Godot didn't want to chase two rabbits at once. Making an engine is hard, and making a modeling program is hard. If they split attention between the two, they may have ended up with a half-assed engine/modeling program instead of a professional grade modeling program and an abandoned engine.

2) much simpler, but the game engine team fell out. So there was no one to properly maintain the Blender Game Engine. No malicious reason: it's an open source initiative and this would be 5+ years before Godot got major funding. They may have changed life perspectives, may have gotten poached, or simply lost interest (and ofc there's other office politic conspiracy theories)

but these are 2 of many reasons, and I'm sure if you tracked down the right person in Blender you can simply ask for the real reason (and then maybe make close friends for the real gossip lol).
