I completely agree with you and this is why we are developing 4d-modeller:

https://4dmodeller.github.io/fdmr/

It's still in early stages but the concept is that these methods are mostly opaque even to highly technical users. So we start with shiny apps that help you build a model and that will work up to (not yet implemented, but we will do a sprint in a couple weeks) wrapper functions, which helps you get things going until you start wanting to get more and more complex. We just ran a Hackathon and participants with no R or Bayesian experience were able to make models.

FWIW I still have no idea what you mean here.

RPG Maker may fit the bill - although obviously a lot more complex and capable than the Pinball Construction Set, it does not require programming. Super Mario Maker may be even more similar to the Pinball Construction Set, having a similarly limited scope.

To be completely fair, base 14" MBP is only Pro in the name. That laptop has only 2 ports, supports only 1 external monitor, has a low core count CPU, and a relatively weak GPU, disqualifying it for any "Pro" work well before RAM (or storage) even enter the discussion.

On the flip side, the very same laptop has a much better display than competing MacBook Air, and better in a manner that is observable in its entirety in non-professional casual use: visually better scrolling of web pages and documents; easier to see in bright sun; much more superior HDR movie watching experience.

It also has much better laptop speakers - completely irrelevant for professional use (like music production), but very relevant for movie watching.

Base 14" MBP is merely a better Netflix machine than MacBook Air is.

What you said about Pro, and what the article says about Pro, is very fair and quite excellent in fact for, uhm, actual Pro laptops, which is Mx Pro/Max based machines, not the new base 14" MBP on an Mx (small one) chip.

What I indeed find perplexing is the fact that 2 default 14" Mx MBP configurations that do not require any changes (they often ship faster, being default is a tangible difference) aren't 8 GB 512 and 16 GB 512, but 8 GB 512 and 8 GB 1TB. That I find odd, because I think yes, a small subset of office users might find a low core count but bigger RAM version useful in practice (I'm thinking some very heavy spreadsheet hitters kind of office power users, managers probably), but virtually no one in that category would actually care to have 1TB of SSD with everything being web-based and/or stored on company's servers in corporate environment. That is indeed odd. But maybe I'm wrong in my assumptions for this one - it's easy to be lacking any actual stats or data - and it's appropriate as well. I don't know.

I didn't get such warning when I connected Outlook to my Gmail.

I think it's important to understand that this video is aimed at a broad audience of developers. Obviously some of them are GPU experts but a lot of people are quite literally app developers who are going to watch this video as an introduction to "hmm everyone keeps telling about this GPU thing, what can I do with it?" So the video has to provide them with some context they can use to explore more.
To be honest I think it really depends. And in some contexts it is unavoidable.

I would think to myself if I was writing one “have I made a mistake somewhere that means I have to use this?”

I don’t think it’s necessarily about “can I parse this”, it’s much more about will all the devs on the team be able to parse this.

To me, code is all about communication - to myself, but also to an audience I haven’t met with varying skill, knowledge and context levels.

I’ve been bitten too many times with code that only one or two people can work on.
Does the failure have anything to do with the tech stack? Or is it just that business is hard and they often sell stuff nobody wants?
Contractors are not normally cheaper than employees. All the overheads of an employee need to be paid for in the contract, plus profit, so if it comes out less than an employee, something isn't right.

Contractors offer flexibility. Contractors can be engaged and disengaged without labour law complications.

A few of the companies I worked for don't exist, but I kept the original job offers, anything outlining the job duties, a post employment recommendation / HR letter and various things like that.

Have you tried Quinze? https://www.programmingfonts.org/#quinze

I was on a quest to find the narrowest font and Quinze was the answer. It's something like 20% narrower than Iosevka and M+. I can't find an easy comparison with PragmataPro but if Iosevka is a free interpretation of PragmataPro like you mentioned then Quinze should be narrower as well.

In fact Quinze is so narrow that when I attempted to force its use in all monospace text in the browser, readability took a hit instead of improving. This is because at the same height it is much smaller than "normal" fonts. In my coding setup I use a huge font size which works great with the narrow width.

I guess the downside is that Quinze is very minimal: pretty much only ASCII, no ligature, no customization etc. None of those bother me.

> I changed the way I typed.

This. I had problems with back pain, neck pain and RSI about 10 years ago. I learned to sit up straight, corrected my desk height and rearranged stuff on my desk so I'm not typing like a shrimp. I also realized I really don't need to type as much as I did.

No pain ever since.
Yep, pretty much. I am in the process of doing that and it is a rather long and annoying. I had the argument with my cousin a week ago, he was pissed off about how bad his iMac is for the price he paid. But when everything was said, he just defaulted to : yeah but I have all my stuff here, it would take so much effort to switch I would rather pay up.
I believe this is exactly what Apple knows and precisely why their behavior is so despicable even toward their most long term customers.
It makes a good reason to never actually rely on Apple software for anything. I used to be an advocate for their nice and clean software, but nowadays I would rather take the "inferior" options than being locked in their extortionate pricing.
The problem with Apple is clearly that they have no real competition, there are alternatives but it's not an easy quick switching like you could be doing with any other computer maker.
In the end, Windows is what it is, but at least you will not be locked to a particular company and their pricing for the OS feels fair enough.

Apple approach of locking their software to the hardware supposedly gives better result, but this has not been true for quite a while and doesn't actually give many benefits to the end user (cue the refrain for ecosystem gimmicks).
My point isn't really about the first sentence as such. It's that we have no idea what the article is going to be about. That's true even several paragraphs in (at which point they're entertaining the idea of a job but the article could still really be about anything).

I suggest you move away from the coding role - if they want to act like children then treat them like children.
Set op CI. Do the code reviews and make sure that things can't get pushed to production without you reviewing it. I don't think they are deliberately going after your commits - but that they just know more about the system than you do.
Basically take the dev-ops role. It also helps you to learn more about the system as a newcomer. When doing code review you will inevitable have to make contact with them and they will have to learn to work with you. And they can't say no since their code wont get published to master otherwise.

Recovery is a scary and awesome thing. When I broke my leg and had surgery I was told it was a 50/50 chance of getting nerve damage and loss of sensation to my foot. After many months of "pins and needles" and random pains, I was blessed to have full sensation restored.

I used to imagine in my head the neurons in my leg and ankle talking with each other and saying, "Hey buddy you're supposed to synapse with me, not that other guy over there".

> I could see a text editor that lets you use a non-healing version of the font for any text that has been written in the viewport and then swaps it out as soon as you no longer looks at that block of text

The text editor widget on their page is a bunch of "line" divs with individual terms being inside spans. If you add an inline style of

font-feature-settings: "calt" off;

or, more completely,

font-feature-settings: "calt" off,"dlig" var(--ligatures,1),"ss01" var(--ligatures,1),"ss02" var(--ligatures,1),"ss03" var(--ligatures,1),"ss04" var(--ligatures,1),"ss05" var(--ligatures,1),"ss06" var(--ligatures,1),"ss07" var(--ligatures,1),"ss08" var(--ligatures,1);

to a single line div or a single term span, it won't do the healing. If one of the CSS pseudo selectors worked for these kinds of elements (I see there are a lot that apply to forms, but.. maybe :active / :active-within would work for editable spans?), you could have healing automatically apply to terms when they 'blur' / when they're no longer active.
Probably they do a lot of content moderation, which takes human beings at least at some stage.
I've never seen that in NZ and I travelled the South Island in 2020 just before COVID hit (and nearly got stuck in an Airbnb for lockdown). Nowhere I remember was asking for tips other than the usual tip jar by the till.

I have noticed last time I went to the SI that many of the cafe's and restaurants are passing on card fees, but those on the NI are not. That must surely be targeted at tourists.

He made a bold statement:

> The largest genocides of that period have been orchestrated by communist countries, supported by a lot if not most of of the intelligentsia

First part is that Intelligentsia means intellectuals, which in russia after 1917 it did not. Google has issues with doublethink but you can find on wikiedia what they did to intellectuals and what they redefined the term to. It also does not cove the fact that it is equivalent to intelligence services but not the same.

Second part is that Intelligentsia made genocides, which is ambigous, which intelligentsia? (the KGB?, if so, yes but they were not intellectuals, or the intellectuals?, if so, how?, they were all dead or not in power)

Third part is that Einstein belonged to that which is even bolder illogical statement... He was not russian, not a part of the KGB, had no power or involvement.
> Let me ask a more foundational question then, what is the virtue of a "stable" system?

Not introducing breaking changes too often (so that you have to adjust configuration and custom software relatively infrequently), while applying security patches and other bugfixes, and being well-tested to work together are the first ones I think of. With "breaking changes" including changes to configuration, file formats, command-line interfaces, notable behavior, as well as library interfaces. Well, I think it mostly amounts to "knowing that an existing install isn't going to get borked by an update".

Supporting multiple dependency versions and stability guarantees indeed must help with avoidance of breaking changes in libraries, assuming the latest compiler version (or a dependency restriction: either compatible packages in system repositories or if there was such dependency resolution in Cargo), though probably not so much with fixes (I imagine there is less motivation to maintain stable branches and apply fixes to those then) and with integration testing. Besides, not all software is written in Rust: other packages and ecosystems must be taken into account as well. Likely more varied ecosystems can be handled more smoothly with NixOS or GuixSD, but I am not risking to use them on anything that should be reliable yet (maybe it is the time to look into those again though). But this kind of poor compatibility with stable systems does not seem necessary, especially for a language that is supposedly a safer alternative to C, while C is about as well-integrated into--and compatible with--common (POSIX) systems as it gets. Though then again, above it was noted that our experiences with C differ, but this is how I see it.
When was this era?

Here is a guidebook for US army officers in 1984, https://archive.org/details/DTIC_ADA166412/page/n49/mode/2up... :

> There are certain individuals who perform services for you who should be tipped if you expect to receive good service. ... Tip a barber at least 15 percent; however, as much as 2 dollars may be appropriate in some establishments if multiple services are performed.

The Hertz Survival Manual For Traveling Businessman, 1967:

> A barber receives a 25¢ tip, and the tip for a shoeshine is 10¢.

A 1953 newspaper article on John Wayne's expenses at https://archive.org/details/sedalia-democrat-1953-05-19/page...

> Superior Judge William R. McKav commented, during the detailing of Wayne's expenses, that a star of his stature would have to tip $2 or "you and I would know what would be said"

A 1949 novel, https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.86579/page/n15... :

> “That does not mean that I have to look like a cheap skate,” said Seymour. “You told me to take the kid to the barber: next time take him yourself and see what happens when you don’t tip the barber.”

> “I never tip him,” said Sarah. “You’re just a big sport on your sister’s money.”

> And in fact, Sarah never tipped the barbers for the children’s haircuts and she disregarded the gestures of contempt and anger which sometimes occurred

In 1923, the result of a court case:

> On page 188 of the August issue of Office Appliances was printed an account of an experience by A. W. Morf, of the Woodstock Typewriter Company, New York, N. Y. He refused to tip a barber, and the tip was added to his check. The case came into the court of special sessions at New York, and the court fined the barber $25.00.

That's not to say everyone tipped, only that over the last century it certainly crossed the mind of quite a few people to tip the barber.
I prefer dynamic types when I prototype and hack on code.

I'd prefer if dynamic languages would converge to gradual typing support, and static languages to gradual dynamic support. TypeScript is an example of the later, and PHP of the former.
By those measures, you may as well say Bitcoin is "useful" for Chinese millionaires to evade exchange controls whereas before they were forced to have Rolexes up their arms on the plane from Shanghai. Or in supporting the graphics card market. And none of those applications for gold explain its price movements when, for example, Russia invaded Ukraine. That the other two instruments were as you say used in speculation means they also had no intrinsic worth in their price, no?

I dunno, I feel like crypto is just an exaggerated version of most other asset classes, not at all uniquely terrible in its own right.
It is partially possible with Karabiner Elements. The part that's possible is you need a minimum hold delay before __f__ turns into __Shift__, but otherwise it works without breaking your typing

The other part of no-delay without breaking your typing style should also be possible in the software, but don't know of a great solution there
Maybe you're right. If so, I've only ever worked for companies with leadership that sucked at communicating.

I don't think it's that simple though. My personal belief is that leadership rarely has a good reason for obtuse decisions and following the leader seems more likely. Even if the first company has a good reason that makes sense for them, I'm not convinced the same (or any) reasoning applies to all the followers.

I also believe that the majority of the leadership at companies I've worked for are poor downwards communicators :)

Ko works ok but lacks a lot of configurability, compared to something like jib, that does end up important. There are a few open issues on it but the commit history is basically dependabot, not much action for UX. Better than nothing I guess but it really does give off the feeling of a project spun off from Google to let it die.

Despite that it's probably still the best tool for building containers in Go, but it's not pleasant.
In our world, there are processes that cannot be compressed into functions. For example, turbulent air is very chaotic. Lets say you take a room and divide it into a 3d grid, where each cell is 0.1x0.1x0.1mm in dimentions, and has some properties of air associated around it (velocity vector, density, temperature, pressure, e.t.c).

At some time T, that grid is going to have a new values in every cell through the physics of air and turbulence.

The main question is, can an AI learn a compressed equation to where the inputs are the grid initial values and time T, and the output is the accurate final grid values for every cell?And by compressed, I mean the entire network takes up less space than a computer program that simulates the interactions at every boundary.

Or the more general way to put it, could we simulate reality faster than reality is happening, and have AI learn some compressed version of it to where you can ask it 2 "states" of reality (like the initial conditions of today, and then some time in the future where you have more money in your bank account and no criminal record and are still alive), and it can output a set of actions for you to take.

The answer, while not 100% definite, is very highly likely to be no.
