To add on to the Edit:

You can get humans on Mars with a big effort. Fine. Now get them back off.

Simple hand waving shows it's a really really hard thing to do. Let's assume current rocket science. You somehow have to get a fueled launch vehicle off the surface. The gravity is less, ~3/5ths, so it's a lot less fuel than on Earth, but it is still a lot of fuel. Somehow, without nearly any infrastructure and in a near vacuum, this rocket has to successfully get off of the surface. We can see that it's really hard to do this just on Earth with huge hangers and loads of experts and tools on standby. Doing this on Mars with a few astronauts and lord knows what sort of repair and maintenance facilities is just going to be a lot harder to pull off.

Fine, sure, now let's assume that we've somehow managed to have improved the science of reliability engineering to the point that we can just have fully fueled rockets just sitting on Martian dirt for years on end [0]. How do you get that rocket down from orbit? Like, how do you land that much fuel? That's a really hard problem to solve. Sure, fine, lots of little payloads all over the place. But then you have to have some sort of industrial machinery to go retrieve all those fuel pods and then load up the rocket. Who or what are going to drive all over Utopia Planitia to grab it all and then handle fueling? Astronauts? AI? Whatever it is, it's really expensive and has to be really safe. Why not build the rocket on Mars too?

Any return from Mars requires sciences and industry that we currently do not have, full stop. Iterating our way to that future is possible, but is currently outside of our skill sets. A lot of money and time is going to be needed to get to return missions. Ideas that this mission requires also upset the state of current industrial manufacture, repair, and maintenance here on Earth. Not in a bad way, mind you, but those techniques are miles beyond what we currently can do and will very much change the future of Earth just as much as it changes Mars.

[0] By the by, do you have any idea what that science will do to our Earth based industry? Nothing will ever break ever again!
If you yell fire in a crowded theater, nothing will happen.
How in the world is reducing competition a good thing?
Lots of books too. I couldn’t finish Atlas Shrugged (page 1000/1200 before I abandoned it) for multiple reasons, but the god awful sex scenes were probably at the top.

Or otherwise good novels with a solitary graphic sex scene, where the author’s talents are clearly not in writing smut. Sometimes just hinting at it is enough and doesn’t jar you out of the story.

I too do not care about the environment because a litle polltion won't make a difference.

And I don't bother with a retirement fund because I make enough money for my needs right now so why care about the future.
I first heard about this the other day when Clough42 (on Youtube) was talking about using the Hilbert curve setting for the bottom layer of a 3d print to make that layer look better for his final product. I haven't tried it on my own prints, but mine typically don't show the lines on the first layer, so I'm not sure it would make a difference in my prints. But maybe I'm over-extruding a bit there.
I’m less concerned with brochure and ecommerce sites. But mobile first design for productivity sites and tool interfaces drive me crazy. Who normally accesses these tools from their phones?
I hear you, but I don’t think this is necessarily true. It does leave type checking to your parsing logic, but the compiler can give you strong guarantees that you’re being defensive about untrusted structured data.

I use a JsonObject to do type narrowing and generate appropriate error messages when I receive invalid data over the wire: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@retrohacker/json-types

In every codebase I’ve added this to, I’ve found invalid parsing logic.

I feel like this type, or something similar, should be bundled in the official TypeScript project. That untested data comes out as “any” is not a good developer experience in my opinion.

And “unknown” is basically broken for type narrowing.
That's not really how it works. US deficit spending isn't producing goods or services. It can motive the production thereof, but it doesn't change the fact that actual things were produced and then purchased using that money.

If people took 100% of the government deficit spending and left it in a savings account, it wouldn't count towards GDP. But clearly that's not happening.
yes, my time is better spent learning something i will hardly forget rather than copy pasting slightly wrong code from an AI, its not a good use of my time, just like writing bad code isnt a good use of my time, even if its fast
I suppose it really depends on how flexible what you're working on is.
> Sources please? I've never met a single person that thought this.

Web Components are 12 years old this year. They were lauded as the be all end all of web development to replace all frameworks for 4-5 of those years.

> You're very stuck on this bad example.

Because it literally is in one of the few authoritative places documenting web technologies.

It's not w3schools or some personal blog. I go to MDN to lookup or verify information on web technologies.
This is a really good insight, thank you. I didn't realize there were points-based systems like that. Haven't done enough research, obviously!

I don't know that I'd want to live in the UK, but this makes me more hopeful about the possibility of moving elsewhere. Thank you.
The Bureau of Labor Statistic. Non-partisan enough, the methodology hasn't changed from the last administration. And take it from a non-US-based inflation expert: it is accurate enough, some gripes about "quality adjustment" of electronics and about using owners' equivalent rent instead of house prices notwithstanding.
Passport number, phone number, tax account number.
So just to recap:

An iPhone SE uses high quality parts that are highly durable.

An iPhone SE, as you noted, is on the low to mid range for repair when compared to other smart phones.

If you use a low-end Android phone you can get cheaper repairs. Presumably because they’re cheaper, lower quality parts.

I’m not entirely sure what the complaint is about.
But nothing interesting has really happened on the moon since the initial landings, so it’s not surprising that interest has dried up. There’s no colony, no space casino resort, nothing that is a big leap from the initial achievement.

The simple fact of the matter is that no one really cares about robots exploring the universe. Humans care about humans, not probes.
For some reason, people (usually but not only men) are way more likely to see romance as shoehorned in to a plot than, say, action or violence. I think it says more about the viewer than the art in question.
WOW. I love this approach. Didn't think of it since I don't usually use Siri (nor Google Assistant, since I'm on Android - as my cousin).

SO steampunk to see a group of adults shouting around "HEY GOOGLE" in the woods to find a lost phone.
That's what shows up on the surface, but go down the rabbit hole. *Why* do they care? Is it really just a moral stand on right/wrong? I doubt that given how few Americans live a 100% law abiding life.

Or is it that they feel those immigrants are unfairly taking something from them? And if so, is that really true or just FUD?

How much of the sentiment boils down to "those illegals are taking our jobs!"? How many people who hold that sentiment would actually want & take the job being filled by one of those immigrants? If their argument is instead that the illegal immigrant labor depresses wages for that set of jobs, how many of those people are willing to pay the extra cost for the products once the company paid fair market wages?
Pretty sure, yep. We would also have accepted "hijacking" or "dragooning."

"Requisitioning" implies that you still have the choice to refuse or disobey.
The designers probably know that, but it costs money to design for 2 platforms. So they pick the 2 biggest platforms for non-hackers... Android and iOS...
Give it time -- it needs advertisers to survive and they appear to be fleeing.

I believe in "free speech" but also think that absolutism in that regard is horseshit.
You don't seem to be capable of understanding basics about business and seem to feel entitled to services that aren't working...

It's no wonder you're so upset.

You still cannot explain where the market is, or why the existing services are being forced to raise prices and cut hours already... but hey, you want it therefore you're owed it, right?
How did they get the stereo perspective, did they use a delay between photos from the same satellite so there was enough time for it to travel?
Yay Britian is very soon to be dead!

No telling the populace whom sits in the high chair, dictating the code that runs their lives. Could be anyone, including a foreign governemnt.

It used to be middle management owned the message it was delivering you, and your conscience could choose to oppose them.

Now electronics owns every man, woman and child in the UK. Given the obvious biometric future. And you can't negotiate or disagree with electronics.

Brexit'd yourself into a corner and then locked it down biometrically.
Just curious, do you expect prices to return to pre-pandemic levels? If so, how do you think that will happen? Disinflation is very different from deflation, and nobody should be rooting for deflation.
This comment is absurd.

> Edge has objectively been better than Chrome on Windows

No, Edge is not "objectively" better. It is not even better privacy wise, seeing that it will sell it's users for anything (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29288052), I can paste more and more such examples. Two products which are this similar can not be "objectively" better than each other enough to force one down everyone's throat.

> but almost nobody knows this as people still default to installing Chrome out of 10+ years of habit.

Then MSFT should fire their marketing department and start afresh. People know about other browsers like Vivaldi and Brave so they can clearly be explained about Edge's virtues with the immense MSFT budget.

> Humans are creatures of habit and the bad and good impressions from the old days tend to stick around regrades if the current realities have shifted,

By this logic all agency can be taken from people and they should be forced to use products deemed "objectively better".

> So market success in the browser space is clearly no longer about having the better product, but about having the stronger brand and supporting ecosystem.

Regardless of my views on the demerits of Edge, this is true of every industry and if MSFT doesn't know how to build a brand and ecosystem, clearly lots of execs need to step down.
> The problem is "mobile only" design.

Agree.

Actually, I think what happens is that the team adopts a "mobile-first" policy, which is reasonable, since most visitors wil be mobile. But they don't follow through with the "desktop-after" corollary, and they don't engage with the "progressive enhancement" philosophy, because that gets even more costly than simply having two websites.

I find phones impossible to use as web browsers. My eyesight is too poor, and my thumbs are too fat. I use phones for making phone-calls and for trading SMS messages; if I need a website, I use my laptop. But that's just me.

I think the real problem is that mobile phones make awful platforms for browsing websites. Native checkboxes and native select-boxes are often unusable, so developers use "frameworks" <spit> that replace them with Javascript monstrosities. Because that all depends on plugins and code, each website ends up with it's own idiosyncratic UX.

I think the correct solution is for phone makers to deliver platforms that can render HTML so it's useable. Then the only problem for devs is create responsive layouts, which isn't that hard.
Than goodness for that. It's a lotto on the stateside for certain which is incredibly tone deaf, but not surprising considering how the rest of our labor force is exploited at nearly every turn.
The odd thing is that PDE5 inhibitors have also been shown to be associated with increased risk of sensorineural hearing loss (both short term and long-term).

We can't even swing a self-sufficient (emphasis added) colony on the much more hospitable Antarctica. Short of that, anyone sent to Mars needs a handy supply of cyanide capsules for the inevitable disaster. In the next twenty years, arrival of human meat on Mars is just bragging rights. Want exploration? We could do more of that with robots. Backup civilization? Simply not going to happen until we can get that Antarctica colony rolling. Nobody in, nobody out, allowance of once every two years robot-guided payloads under ten tons, and it has to run for forty years ... that is a good example of a colony.

Realistically, we need things like autonomous self-replicating robot factories in the asteroids chucking payloads of metals onto designated landing targets on Mars, and their cousins maybe retrieving the odd iceberg from the Oort to make a long trip over. We'll need boring machines, Mars specials, that can leave sealed tunnels several yards underground where the radiation won't be as annoying. We will need to create thirty Biospheres a year here on Earth, each year a new generation, and learn from them. Thirty is a good number if you want to do stats and discount one-offs. And we'll have to start tweaking the genes on what is in those Biospheres to figure out what will make them compatible with, say, underground caverns built by those boring machines.

This isn't like a trip to a remote island.
But that hasn't been a thing since before I was alive. We've had a strong run of popular sitcoms depicting black families on all of the major TV networks since the '70s. Many times they've led the ratings.

And I watched them. Maybe you didn't?

Edit: Heck, "I Love Lucy" aired in the early 1950s and the show's entire plot was about an interracial marriage. And that show only started two years after commercial TV in most homes was even a thing. It was the very first sitcom to be a #1 rated show.

The "bad times" scenario you're depicting is largely a fiction. What was that Jennifer Lawrence quote? “I remember when I was doing 'Hunger Games,' nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work — we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead,”
ok ok. apparently via other comments it is US Federal deficit spending that adds so much to GDP, and not the capital gains at all.. gotcha
Also the whole... "they're very probably not coming back from Mars alive" thing :)
Every time I see Aaron Giles on some MAME code I know it's going to be high-quality stuff. This guy is a beast.
> ... mportant to keep American influence across the globe ... More USA influence over the world = a freer, richer, more democratic, happier world

You just proved my point about US imperialism and "protecting its interest" around the globe is the main economic hindrance for both Europe, and the rest of the world.

You can't be rich if you are under the control of an evil empire. Even if you claim that being colonized is for their own good, the US is still an evil empire, since all empires are evil by definition.
I think they also eliminated some of the color hierarchy in favor of just making everything big black text swimming in a sea of white. So it's a little harder to see which pieces of text belong together.

I hate it lol
the causes might be viciously debatable and challenged but the lost opportunity (versus a counterfactual universe where there is less strife and destruction and more coherence and construction) is quite tangible. one can only hope that the recent past is not the exact predictor of the future.
That's a lot of steps in your bootstrap chain. I think tying it to releases can make it easier, but it's good your process is automated.

Rust has a long chain too, but rustc only uses features itself, that the previous release supports. Releases are every 6 weeks.

Go had been bootstrapping from 1.4 (the last C compiler release), until the release of 1.20 this year, when the bootstrap compiler was bumped to 1.17.13 and will be bumped yearly [0]. That meant go1.4 had to be able to compile new versions, keeping the compiler from using new features in itself for 8 years. Notably, this now allows for generics to be used in the compiler.

I know the answer is a bit tongue in cheek, but that would be very valuable and cool, just in case someone from Cursor or Refact is reading this thread ^^
Exactly! Lots of shouting "bubble! bubble!" when playing that game with my friends of different video game skill levels.
Your argument here boils down to "all decision making can be viewed in terms of expected net economic gain/loss", and while I don't disagree with you, it isn't a very salient or novel point.

My whole argument is this: Public shareholders compel their businesses to treat market capitalization and/or dividends as the principal goals. Private owners, though, may have goals other than the business's value or profit, such as "tradition". Whether those other goals can be thought of in terms of monetary value seems orthogonal.
I'm mostly appalled at how many desktop users just maximize everything.

I even had juniors maximizing terminals.
why?

you can pay someone to dig ditches for no reason. then pay to fill them back. both count as legit GDP growth, even if the value of either action is $0
Re VMware, it’s certainly still a thing in enterprise environments. Can kvm do things like live migration in the meantime? For me it’s the other way round, haven’t looked into that for a while ;)

How do you mean Oxide might have that advantage as well in the future? As I understand, you have to buy hardware from them?
I remember when blizzard forced a character rename.
There's no real consistency in any of it. Sometimes breasts are PG-13 (Titanic) but usually any breasts are an automatic R (most other modern movies, except for those with sufficient "art cred"). In movies from the 1980s or earlier, breasts could be in a PG movie (Airplane, Logan's Run.)

The PG-13 rating was created in response to violence in PG movies (somebody getting their heart ripped out in Temple of Doom), not nudity.
>> It actually is very hard to design a responsive UX that can handle anything from the smallest smartphone up to ultrawide monitors.

Sure I'll agree it's hard, but don't web designers do their work on desktop machines? It seems like even if they are primarily targeting mobile, they must see the results on desktop right? There have to be some known strategies for dealing with it, and they must be aware of the problems. Right?
Exactly. I'm not sure how it is in others regions, but here in Central Europe Netflix has lots of good Korean and Japanese TV dramas.

It is funny how some of them have a great first season, then they get lots of money following their success, after which they try to emulate Holywood and make pretty bad season 2 (it is "too American" as my wife says - you know the whole plot after first 5 minutes, and there definitely have to be certain obligatory copy/pasted plot themes, like previously mentioned sex scenes etc).

Of course, it's not just Holywood and American dramas that have bad elements. I find many Japanese dramas focus to much on the "internal conflict" in their characters. But overall both Japanese and Korean productions are light years ahead. I don't remember last time I saw a good American drama.
> It's not that Clang is bad, but it has inherent limitations because it only analyzes a single source file and stops analysis when you call a function from another module.

Nowadays that's only the default. But you can enable "cross translation units" [1] support to perform analysis across all the files of an application. It's easier to deploy CTU by using CodeChecker [2].

Also for the Clang static analyzer: make sure the build does use Z3. It should be the case now in most distro (it's the case in Debian stable ;). It will improve the results.

With both CTU and Z3 I'm very happy with the results. Klocwork mostly only reported false alarms after a clean CodeChecker pass.

The USA has not colonized either Ukraine or Taiwan, nor are US troops stationed or even probably present in either country.
>No, Edge is not "objectively" better.

Which benchmarks have you looked at to make this contradiction? It definetly is objectively better on Windows if you look at benchmarks on speed, memory usage and battery life, which is what most average users care about in a browers, and the reason why most switched from IE to Chrome originally.

Your average user has no idea nor do they care about the whole online privacy implications of a browser or any other SW product or service, otherwise they would have never touched Chrome, the product of an ad company, in the first place.

>By this logic all agency can be taken from people and they should be forced to use products deemed "objectively better".

You're drawing some really silly straw-men here for you to fight.

>if MSFT doesn't know how to build a brand and ecosystem, clearly lots of execs need to step down.

Agreed, but when was the last time you saw a big corp perform mass layoffs of execs?
I see the whole thing as a huge advertisement for Forth, Lisp, and Prolog.
