Given that ELIZA doesn't really work outside its supposed social setup, which makes some of its behavior acceptable and/or intelligible, it would be hard to believe that anyone would have been actually fooled by this. (Still, the performance of ELIZA in the bounds of its intended setup is remarkable, especially for its small rule set. But there is little doubt that this is insufficient for a sustained free conversation.) – Let's call it a "parasitic win". ;-)

The easiest way for non-APL programmers to begin to understand APL is to see what it hasn't got: boilerplate and loops. If you discard those from any other programming text you're left with the essence of what the code does. APL is only explicit about that essence, the rest is inferred by the interpreter. That's why it is so compact and that's why if you're used to step-by-step instructions with a ton of air in between you will initially find it hard to read. But that gets easier over time and before you know it you'll think of other languages as hopelessly verbose.
Sure you can, as long as you’re not harming anyone.

The difference is that it is much harder to make a living out of it. It’s the industry of hate that’s being targeted here.
I had some issues with the gen 3 USG but am finding the Dream Router + 2 APs exceptionally stable and low maintenance.
I specifically remember during a morning assembly with our head of year a brief mention of politics during the run up to a general election, and her advice (instruction?) was that in polite society, people do not discuss their political views. This was around the ages of 9/10 y/o, I believe.

Recent events make me think this may have been a better approach to the state we have devolved to currently. But the internet happened, people started waking up and talking more, so now you have the opposite approach which is an endless torrent of bipartisan squabbling hypercharged by social and traditional media, and everything in between. This has resulted in low turnouts and a level of general disinterest in local and national politics. People now have stronger opinions about things happening in far away places than their own (crumbling) local towns and cities, because it's just too tiring to care about things which at best won't care about you, and at worst will actively try to harm you.

That said, what was interesting is that some years later there was discussion about opening up the vote to 16 year olds, and most of the discussion/pressure/focus was on the 6th formers who stayed on at high school, as it was assumed the dropouts and academically un-serious college-goers would have little interest in such things. There is certainly a pre-political class present in these institutions and their societies, leading to the public (read private) school system providing the majority of our politcal representation, with sadly no change in sight for the forseeable future.

My opinion is that the cynics were/are correct, politics is a class based business/sport/game depending on where you should happen to find yourself within the socio-economic strata of the UK.

Also, we share our horribly broken voting system with one other country in the world. That country would be Belarus. I haven't visited Belarus, so can't comment on how it's working out for them. But in this country, it has driven mediocrity in our representation and leadership much to our detriment. And a party called ReformUK (previously known as UKIP then the Brexit Party) may not be the panacea some people expect it to be. So you now have a choice between the joke of a party in power, and the joke of a party in opposition.

Putting oil and uranium in the same bucket seems clumsy.

All of Japan’s nuclear reactors together use maybe 500 metric tonnes of uranium in a year.

Japan imports something like 130 _million_ tonnes of crude oil in a year.

It would hardly be a moonshot for Japan (or any country) to create a strategic reserve with a 5 year supply of uranium fuel. That’s simply impossible with oil.

Back in the 80's, my dad invested tons of money into a top of the line computer (a 386), plotter, software, and training, when CAD was first a thing.

He did one project with it and roundfiled the whole thing because there was no art involved. He had become an architect specializing in high end custom homes because of the creativity involved. CAD killed that aspect.

Corporate developers are typically paid to solve corporate problems. Sometimes a company will hire a big-name OSS developer and tell them “continue maintaining your project in whatever way you think best”, but that’s by far the exception rather than the norm.

Right.
Also colors and shapes seem to converge. I find it increasingly hard to find programs by icon in my taskbar, they look the same.
Though LLMs now have fun examples of giving the wrong answers to the right questions, too. That's a neat evolution!

> You'll see a whole bandwagon of people saying things like, "supporting old hardware is BAD! It takes time and money that nobody has!", as though someone needs to be hired to sit around and do nothing but pore over code and constantly rewrite code for old hardware.

It has been my experience, over the last 6 decades or so, that it almost always boils down to "doing anything except what I want is a waste of time and resources".

When it comes to free software, you do what you do and learn to ignore the "but what about ME!" demands from those who contribute nothing else. Or you move on and put your energy into something else.
Hopefully AI will make those uncreative designers redundant, freeing them to do something more aligned with their talents.
I don’t know if you mean managed switches, but unmanaged switch processing is way less complex than routing.
Typically, support for old hardware is added as part of the "experimental" featureset. Meaning that it's expected to break from time to time as the underlying codebase changes, until the folks who care about that support come around and fix the breakage. If that maintenance stops altogether and the code stays broken, that's when it gets removed.

Are you sure that buying another blender isn't common?

1. Maybe you didn't like it so returned it, but are still in the market.

2. Maybe it was a gift and you now want one yourself (or vice versa)

For something relatively expensive it may be the best expected value add even if the chance of repurchase is only 1%. Maybe the repurchase rate is 1% while the base purchase rate is 0.1%.

I'm not sure it is, but it seems entirely possible that this is actually a smart move by the ad engine.
I am fully aware that developers tend to have bad eating (and even lifestyle) habits.

I'd recommend drinking water (cold and filtered, potentially fizzy) instead of always reaching out for food, especially since most of your activities seem to revolve around sitting. You could also explore tea or even coffee, which are both fun hobbies as well.
I see 2 courses of action and I think most people will really better do both at the same time:

1. Work on Plan B - what will you do if you can no longer find employment as a SWE? We can all start preparing for this day. I'm also hoping that A.I will always not be 100% good enough to replace humans but at this point no one knows. It might be good enough and it might happen quite fast - within this decade.

2. Work on being more mentally resilient so the constant changes (which will only increase in pace) will not degrade our mental well being. I try to use things like stoic meditations, other people use real meditation or therapy or exercise or a combination of the above.

In the end we are all more than our careers.

It comes from the history and tradition of the terms as they were used at the time of the founding. Keeping secrets has always been something a king would do.

Consider the alternative. What if the legislature declined to provide authorization? If they decided not to approve a treaty, the nation could survive and the POTUS could still generally do their job. If the legislature denied the POTUS the right to keep secrets, it’d be utterly impossible to fulfill the duties of the office. If - per congressional mandate - he had to truthfully answer reporters questions about out nuclear capabilities and procedures, or explain to a wartime enemy his plans, reveal the identities of spies… These are all things that are so anathema the duties of the executive office that you can’t honestly say someone holds the executive power if they don’t have control over these things.

But, yeah, you’re completely fair in the fact that in constitutional law many of the most important aspects aren’t spelled out in great detail and can be up for honest debate.

I wonder if it's to do with fixed-width serif fonts looking "old" due to their association with old text printers? Now sans-serif looks 'new' by comparison. Couple that with the 'clean sleek minimalist' look that all the modern tech companies have popularized and everything's re-converged on another round of samey looks. We're ripe for another new wave any year now. What'll it be this time? Comic sans? sARcAsTiC?

I just don't get why companies change their branding every 5 minutes.

What do you gain? Did everyone suddenly start thinking Google was new and fresh after they spent however many millions on their rebrand? And then there's the inherent contradiction. Is a logo important, if not why are you changing it, if it is, why are you throwing out the current valuable logo, or are you implicitly accepting you somehow failed and tainted the old logo?

All I see is a company bike shedding rather than spending the money and effort to improve their offering.
I literally quoted above the definition of the word. I'd rather not re-define it for a HN thread because it's clearly among the worst ways to conduct any discussion. On top of that even your 'copy' is not what it conventionally means. And there's a reason for that. Your
personal definition simply isn't productive. It leaves no space for category, style, tradition. Even you yourself would be 'fake' if your definition is true. You know, humans like you definitely existed before you.
Q: Why do everyone’s logo fonts look the same?

A: Because they need to be legible on a mobile device.

It’s no coincidence this trend started in the 2010s with the arrival of the smartphone. Brands need a consistent look that work across mediums. With over 50% of e-commerce sales happening on mobile, and the dominance of social media in the marketing of, for example, high fashion, a brand mark must excel in these kinds of treatments. Perhaps we’ll find another design trick to facilitate legibility at smaller scales but until then, those marks that looked great in print, aren’t fit for purpose.
Yep. I ran into that as well. Had to update the firmware using my laptop first. Less than ideal… but doable.

On the upside, I haven’t touched the device since. In my experience they are fantastic for zero maintenance and ‘just works’ once setup

Funnily enough, this has a fair amount of overlap with the embedded work I do these days: our architecture is thread-per-core (well, adjacent, as the vendor SDK we build on has two other threads internally we can 't get rid of), data locality and latency matters, and so on. Looking forward to going through this in detail, even if my 368KB of RAM and SPI flash are quite a bit slower than your gigabytes and GB/s of NVMe flash!

Specifically our device/firmware is very networking/IO and runtime-configurability focused, which makes for some fun challenges. Squeezing the most out of the microcontroller and peripherals has been important, and keeping data/code locality has helped lots.
It's early on the weekend but the question I predict is "What made Nix/Guix unsuitable as a part in this?"

The technology keyword SEO is strong around here! However if you've already documented pros/cons such a list could provide constructive direction for those projects.
That's way too hopeful. AI is not creative, it's a tool that gives you what it calculates to be the best solution which is taken from the space of all pre-existing solutions. So if anything it will double down on the lack of creativity and keep showing whatever worked before referring us down a cycle of dull, but very machine-predictable mediocrity.

AI is not the solution for making things more creative.
Definitely happened on the OLPC.

What's worse, they made a "throbber" effect by string substituting a different color into an SVG, and then reparsing the SVG, for each color it fades through.

That's the kind of coding quality the OLPC project had. That's why it failed, and it probably also factored into why they disabled the view source button.

For the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines I absolutely support your reasoning. The Russians lost the strategic option of blackmailing Germany into political submission in case of a harsh winter. Strategically they are on the losing side of that incident.

I take great pleasure in unsubscribing from all that crap. I don’t want to read them. Think about it: how often do I want to say “someone can have my attention every day or week or month who is just marketing stuff to me”. Just get rid of it all. I way prefer say Reddit ads over that.
I was somehow thinking of division by zero in the shower or something the other day, and got something that convinced me about it's undefined-ness.

If we take the equation `x = a/0` and solve for a we get:

```
x = a/0 |*0
a = 0x
a = 0
```

Since `a` could be any number, the statement is false unless `a` is defined as zero or there exists some number `x` which when multiplied by zero does not yield zero.

In this case though, even if `a = 0`, we can't really determine `x` because `0/0` is not something commonly defined in mathematics.

I don't know what the point is of having no apples and no baskets to divide them in to.
Those are all great points.

I hope my comment didn’t come across as a criticism of your project. I was really just going off on a tangent - I’ve heard a number of people discuss building LLM therapist bots, and so I’ve had these concerns in the back of my mind.

Your project looks awesome, and I think “assisted journaling” may be one of the best ways to frame this technology’s potential. I especially like how the app tends to follow up with questions that lead the user to continue exploring their feelings (rather than offering opinions or conclusions). Also: kudos on the clever name.
Icons inside programs too. Just this morning I got confused trying to un-mute myself inside Discord. Like at some point these braindead designers need to realize that an important part of "UX" is that users should easily be able to find what they're looking for and differentiate it from the next ugly white-on-grey icon that looks the same.
Serifs improve legibility of small prints. With modern HiDPI screens, there is no reason not to use serif fonts across all media.

>in polite society, people do not discuss their political views

Discussing politics with friends and family can be fraught. Personally I think politics is too important not to discuss[1]. But I think it would be good to be more informed, even if you prefer to keep your opinions to yourself.

Most likely they do get it right for their problem domain.
If the people who made opencv, vtk and qt had to make it in another language with the design constraints they had (which can sometimes be as simple as insisting on using CamelCase instead of snake_case for historical reasons) they would likely make their own string / array / matrix / ... type in that language too tailored to their exact problem domain.
Lidl is a nice store, I prefer it over Aldi.

Originally, they had alternative ( but good) products, which really reduced your costs to shop. They almost had no brand items in the past.

The bakery is good too
