Saying the Pope is "the voice of God" is inaccurate. He is an appointed leader who gets the last word on certain issues. There are plenty of Catholics critical of any Pope even with regard to his opinions on Catholic beliefs. Take a look at what rad trad Catholics say about the current Pope, for example.

The extent to which Catholics would give extra weight to the Pope's opinions outside his official role varies wildly. Much the same is true of any leader: e.g. the weight given to the opinions of a president of a democratic country by their supporters and opponents. The last president of the US is a particularly good example of this :)
That is the Barnum effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnum_effect .

> In 1948, in what has been described as a "classic experiment",[10] psychologist Forer gave a psychology test – his so-called "Diagnostic Interest Blank" – to 39 of his psychology students, who were told that they would each receive a brief personality vignette based on their test results. One week later Forer gave each student a purportedly individualized vignette and asked each of them to rate it on how well it applied. In reality, each student received the same vignette, ... On average, the students rated its accuracy as 4.30 on a scale of 0 (very poor) to 5 (excellent). Only after the ratings were turned in, it was revealed that all students had received an identical vignette assembled by Forer from a newsstand astrology book.

Rerouted are definitely more work than usually anticipated, unless most or all of the original team is available.

The other option to figure it out again from scratch has its own issues.

If existing business logic works and has been hardened, it can be worth looking at wrapping it an API instead of rewriting and reimagining from scratch.

Samsung or Toyota, probably.

The big win with solid state batteries is faster charging time. When charge time comes down to 10 minutes, a charging station looks and works like a gas station. Right now, charging stations look like parking lots. They need more area and something to occupy the waiting customers. But a 10-minute charging station need be no larger than a gas station with a convenience store.

This totally changes the land and infrastructure requirements for electric vehicles.
We're going to see gas stations ripping out gas pumps and putting in charging lanes.
People looking for a n100 are usually deliberately looking for something in the 100 dollar range max if it performs much better than a raspberry pi. These people arent interested in a 250 dollar board and dont need so many cores. These make great little transcoding machines or routers and you dont need much more power than what these processors can provide.
This adds yet another argument to my list of why I prefer cheap wired earbuds. But great determination!

I stopped using Google 5 years ago. The combination of SEO blogspam dominating the first page results, and the mass surveillance they engage in, made me want to change. I don't miss it, it has many worthy replacements.

My thoughts on the search engines things I tried:

0. Bing: pretty much the same as Google, I stopped using it for privacy reasons. I'd use it if I was a Linux user and MS didn't have my Windows activity to cross-reference Bing data with.

1. DuckDuckGo: was a great alternative, until I found out last year they censor search results for political reasons (downranking/delisting "Russian misinformation"). I dropped them then.

2. Brave: pretty good most of the time, the one I trust the most for privacy, but too many counterculture sites not listed. Like you search for a meme and the results are not some major sites. Is fine otherwise.

3. Yandex: great search results but I stopped using it because despite only doing 10-15 searches a day, I trip their bot detection (I use Firefox configured to resist fingerprinting, uBlock Origin, etc). If I was your basic b*tch "Chrome user watching 1000 ads a day", I'd stick to this.

Google remains the best one for location-aware search, such as local businesses.
Definitely software would improve from developers who are proficient in both and know what both have to offer beyond knocking one down.

Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)

The intention-to-screen design of the trial depends heavily on the effectiveness of recruitment and the pre-existing “prevalence” of the test in the setting in which the study is conducted. I can see rejecting an unpleasant, rarely used screening test. But if it were presented in a less impersonal (but still unbiased) way, I imagine recruitment would have been higher, skewing the data towards cost-effectiveness, as re-analyses showed.

Euro Truck Simulator was the game that this finally click for me. I think under all different game mechanics -- games like OpenTTD, Factorio, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress, Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator, Minecraft, Civilization etc -- all scratch the same itch of being able to set uour own goals and work towards them through an evolving but intuitive gameplay loop.
Ship of Theseus is the other way. Fact is a lot of companies have code that has been rewritten and they don’t know it, because the devs that did it know they would have been stopped if people knew. But piece by piece, bit by bit, everything was shifted to a new organizational paradigm from the original.

You can’t really do objective case studies on development processes that involve subterfuge. Even if they work.

My desktop text editor, KeenWrite, uses Wine, rcedit-x64.exe, osslsigncode, and a shell script to sign the Windows binary. First, rcedit-x64.exe tags the binary with identifying information:

Then osslsigncode applies the certificate:

You know what I mean. I am obviously not claiming that a DMZ can be perfectly impenetrable. I'm talking about one that's actually manned, and one that is significantly better than what is currently in place, to the point that a repeat attack is sufficiently unrealistic.

> The US can't force anything either.

Yes they can. Israel relies on them for their security umbrella and trade relationships. US has an extreme amount of leverage, if only it would use it.
The only successful rewrites I’ve been involved with were clandestine ones. A conspiracy of developers and occasionally one first level manager to swap all the parts of a “working” system for ones that didn’t need scare quotes. Usually trying to stay just ahead of requirements that feel like giant left turns for the original code, but are tenable in the new.

No, it isn't, and I've already outlined the reasons why.

Is what actually happens. The French pushed it through their Revolution, the Soviets did it in '25, the PRC in '59.

Interestingly, a good chunk of the existing Chinese measurements were metric themselves for a while: simply imposing a new order was the objective. Thus always to modernists.
> building software is so far from building a house that's not really worth comparing

I disagree. I think the comparison is between engineering part of building a house, i.e. creating blueprints. The actual "blue collar" work in SW engineering is making sure the whole thing compiles, runs and is tested.

> the signatories on the agile manifesto may have done some management but most, if not all, were strong developers

Yeah, that's what I am suggesting with my post, maybe it worked for them, but it was later misinterpreted, or they thought that the secret of their success lies elsewhere.

> is supposed to change a lot which was the original idea behind software (as opposed to hardware) existing

I disagree here. Software is easy to copy first and foremost (you don't need much materials). I think easy to copy does not mean easy to change. For example, DNA sequence is also easy to copy, but difficult to change. (And that's why people wish for rewrites from the ground up.)

> agile was always about developers teaching managers how they can manage us effectively

I disagree. That implies you have a much bigger problem - useless managers. Managers simply have to understand the domain they are managing (and ideally have hands-on experience). There shouldn't be any "teaching" going on.

But I also agree, in a way. I think who needs to listen to SW engineers are product and project managers, that the software is not just a bunch of features to be built, just like a house is not just what you see on the promotional render. That's what my post was about.
Pardon? Could you explain your logic as the best I can figure out is that you think the EPA should only focus on one pollution source at a time.
Yes - in theory, it's probably pretty efficient. Just would be interesting to see how it compares. We know it has good Coulombic efficiency, but that's only half the picture - at least for energy storage / synfuel applications.
Replace highway infrastructure with train infrastructure that is powered by overhead lines. Build out the power grid to support that, and blanket the country with new rail lines that are nationalized and run as a public utility.

Result, reduces carbon footprint of travel - land shipping - ability to build out modern towns - etc

Toss in a bill to require all train lines to also install national fiber. You now have enabled the revitalization of large swaths of the county.

I am not a fan of Musk, not at all. And I agree with you that he overpaid Twitter; and then threw away a brand that was probably worth 10% of what he paid for the company, and that many things got worse on the platform. And it makes me laugh that a company that cannot handle blue check marks now wants to... replace banks -- yeah, that's the latest from Elon, at least according to an article on Verge.

That said, nearly everybody, myself included, predicted that everybody would leave, that the service would be offline very often, like in the good ol' days of Twitter, and that he'd bankrupt the company etc. But none of that happened, or at least not yet. And they are moving towards a new direction. A new direction we might not like -- I'm not going to be banking with Elon, that's for sure! -- but if they are moving somewhere with 1/4th of the workforce, I suspect that for many years a lot of people had a lot of free time at the office...

I'll do you one better: I have full insurance coverage for the vehicle and it's 5% of its residual value annually, but I still intend to keep it.

The reason is that it's an incredibly useful tool - especially for a family with small children - and I can't rely on renting services during bursts of demand like during the holidays.

Also I picked a vehicle that was way less expensive than what I could afford at the time, not to mention now that my financial situation is better.

Our household saves 40% of its income after taxes, but we don't choose everything (or anything really) with just financial efficiency in mind, because to me personally such a life would be quite hellish.
Isn’t this a slightly different problem? The product built was just vapourware and not really doing the job. So customers went elsewhere when the real version didn’t appear in time? Often companies will win the customers with a genuine working product but complicated code and then hire like crazy and all the new developers struggle and want to rewrite it all. But they mustn’t because it is a working product earning money. So gradual improvement and controlled rewrites of sub areas that need to change the most are focused on to succeed. If a company has gone bankrupt because of spaghetti code of a demo product, it feels to me like the problem was the product being just a demo rather than it being spaghetti code?

I work with a frontend app that talks with microcontrollers that have 2mb of ram, they don't run linux and can't even support an HTTP stack. We actually use UDP to send messages to them (through a thin native layer in our app)

I don't remember the exact numbers as I don't work with the manufacturing side but the budget for our microcontrollers was <0.5 USD per microcontroller

> Why do embedded developers pick really resource-constrained chips, when decently powerful chips that can run Linux have become so cheap?

1) Often you have multiple microcontrollers per device

2) It just follows a general trend with industrial manufacturing of always trying to find ways to cut costs. It is not just microcontrollers, after a product is finished, v2 will always strive to cut costs and be cheaper. Components costs grow linearly with production volume. If you sell a million of devices with a
5 USD chip that is 5 million dollars that could have been spent on R&D (maybe like 5 devs working on it full time for a year)

3) Sometimes the microcontrollers are dedicated for security/safety, those you don't want to run linux on because it makes them harder to QA and certify (non determinism doesn't play well with safety). You want them small, lean and as simple/dumb as possible

4) Sourcing problems, advanced chips are harder to source in higher quantities, especially lately. Crappy microcontrollers can be bought like buying legos at the lego store

5) Size, reliability and heat constraints. Bigger chips are harder to integrate into a custom board, require more power and could generate enough heat to cause problems. Integrating a Raspberry CM requires a custom connector with like 50 wires or so and wiring it can be really annoying/error-prone

One of our systems had a Raspberry CM3 before, it was the first thing on the chopping block for the v2. Apparently it was the most expensive single electronic component of the whole system.
First, you mistakenly assume every photo of note is sharp. That's absolutely not true.

Second, no you do not need a spherical display. Depth of field IS A PLANE. Also, photographing analog film is done from good enough distance to get rid of any curvature for the practical purposes.

Third, photographic analog films can have hundreds of MPs. But it does not matter, the choice of medium you present to the camera is yours and it does not have to be analog film. I am just giving analog film as an example because it is high resolution compared to even best prints or digital displays.

Fourth. Before you start saying something is not possible, would you mind to do an even most basic cursory search? Here is an example of people doing this professionally with a DSLR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVmIhwG0XfU
You've got this completely wrong. It's basically the opposite.

The Hamas terrorist attacks were the pent up thing. Israel's retaliation is war crimes, terrorism and absolutely inexcusable.

Don't blame the deaths of Palestinian children on Hamas. If Israel didn't want to kill innocents, they could just not bomb them for fucks sake.

I've only written one fairly simple iOS app for my own use, just to get a feeling for it, but IMO getting familiar with the platform is not easy, but doable; I did have extensive mac experience, though (since the early 90s). An experienced programmer with knowledge of other fields can get quite a lot done in ... let's say: two months?

But we don't know what OP wants. Is it a game? Is it a social network? Is it a temperature conversion app? Because those require very different skill sets, and the iOS app may not be the hard part.
I recently went through this same issue at my company - only found out about the change in requirements when I couldn't renew my cert at the previous provider.

There is surprisingly little info available on how to do code signing for Windows now. I don't want to use a physical device - with fully remote teams it's not feasible. Eventually settled on Azure KeyVault with Digicert (I don't like Comodo aka Sectigo). There is really little info available on how to get it all to work together, and you have to spent around $600 before you can even try and see whether it can work.

Now that it's all configured, the setup works well. The new setup of doing the signing via Azure is more secure than storing the private keys on the CI system. But I never thought that signing an app for Windows would be more difficult than signing for macOS or iOS.
That's just eugenics for introverts
