It is not really the learning curve, but it takes just too much time to set up to match VSCode or VS or Jetbrain IDEs, plus it requires too much muscle memory to use it effectively. It's difficult to stick unless one uses it frequently. I simply can't afford it.

TBH everything on Linux/Unix variant (except MacOS) is like that, there is no open-box solution. There is always too many configurations and even begin with (even VSCode is too configuration heavy for my taste but I use it as my Linux VM is light). This is definitely good in its own sense (more powerful), but most of time I just want something to work and concentrate on what I really want to learn. I mean, if I really want to learn how an editor works, I'd go ahead to build one myself, but in the mean time I just want to write a toy compiler so please just let me do it.

Why would anyone need a reason? I mean it seriously. Chrome users on this platform really baffling for me. They know what the consequences are, they know quite well what the icon with their picture on the corner does. Still being OK with this is super interesting.

Most products are often get grilled here for having closed code parts or similar concerns but when it comes to giving complete audit of their online existence, "meh...". Same folks who criticize canonical (which I disagree strongly with their late practices) only to install chrome as their browser on their systems.

Insert "statistically speaking" wherever needed.
This argument that the LLM is learning seems slightly flawed when you consider that other experts in the field consider it more like lossy compression. If it’s lossy compression that’s really happening here then you can understand the copyright argument. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, lots of new ground breaking.
It's just a regular email provider. I'm not sure I would trust it to keep working forever, but for the last 15 years or so it's been fine.

Yes and no. Mostly no, I think.

In a lot of cases (most?) even plain-text email is rendered in proportional fonts which don’t work for ASCII art.

The default for all mobile email clients, Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail is now to render plain-text in proportional. Those who get it monospaced have chosen to do that. It’s also made worse by Outlook’s insistence on removing ‘extra’ linebreaks by default. AFAIK, there’s no way to switch off that behaviour except email-by-email, and you can’t know if your recipient has it or not.

> Many of those beliefs boil down to “scientists say”

The beliefs don't "boil down" at all: they form an interconnected web of theory and explanations that support and reinforce each other. You're acting like anything that one hasn't independently verified is something one is taking on faith, but that's not true. These aren't independent propositions that can be falsified on their own without dragging down an entire body of scientific understanding -- including things you have verified yourself.
Awesome! You should be proud of this. I grew up next door in Ghana and I am delighted that someone from Togo is doing this.

> I can’t say the same about my coffee grinders. I use the plural because I’ve owned a lot of them, all bought in their original packaging and dead within a year

Grind size and consistency are everything when making coffee. As such, good coffee grinders are expensive as hell because of the blades and motors. Mostly the blades.

You can easily spend thousands on an espresso grinder (a grinder that can only grind ultra-fine espresso grounds, nothing else) because of this.

My Fellow Ode, which can only grind for drip coffee, was $300. It is a significant improvement from the Breville Smart Grinder I had previously, which was a significant step up from the Mueller single-speed, single-size grinder I started with.

I'm going to guess this was also the case 30 years ago, especially since they were bigger.
GMail is the worst for email blocking resolutions. They don't have an effective feedback loop built into their system. So when a user does block you, no one is told about it, to be fixed. Therefore lowering your reputation with them over time.

How can we as ESPs respond to them appropriately with removal of these people who don't want our emails anymore, if we don't know who the user is?

If there are any GMAIL service team members here, I would LOVE to know why a feedback loop was never implemented like the other providers.
Firefox stutters. Every couple of seconds, if I'm doing anything active on the page, it freezes up for a fraction of a second. I have no idea if that's a garbage collection issue or what, but it makes it painful to use.

I can't remember where I heard this, but the idea is that every hobby X is secretly more like four sub-hobbies:

1. People who like to do X

2. People who like to tinker with the stuff around X

3. People who like to talk about doing X

4. People who like to talk about the stuff around X

For X you can substitute biking, cars, whatever, but for this discussion, X is "programming".

1. Some people like to program

2. Some people like to tinker with shells and editors and languages and frameworks

3. Some people like to talk about programming

4. Some people like to talk about the tools of programming

Of course people don't fall neatly into one of these buckets for a given hobby, but we certainly tend towards some subset of them. Your "status-chasers" may just be folks who tend towards bucket #4 when it comes to software stuff.
I've avoided FF sync because I don't want my browser history on the cloud. I only really want my profile configuration, such as my addons and userjs flags.

> Honest question: are other jetbrains IDEs "feel" similar to the Android Studio one that can be downloaded for free?

Android Studio is generally one generation behind mainstream Intellij and has its own modifications on top of it.
It depends on your target language. With the exception of CLion, all other forks of Intellij work much faster than Android Studio from my experience.
Firefox on iOS randomly changes the order of new bookmarks, adding new ones to either the top or the bottom of the list. I assume they're assuming ordering in some underlying platform data structure that doesn't support it?

EDIT: I guess it was this, though I think it's been broken again more recently? https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/pull/11895

At any rate I've found Firefox on iOS/iPadOS to be surprisingly buggy.. tabs hang and need to be closed, not all bookmarks are synced and/or the ordering changing per above, showing sponsored ads in the new tab shortcuts list and needing a force-close until they go away after being disabled, etc. etc.
Configuring browsers to mirror each other across machines makes a big soupy mess. I understand why surveillance capitalists like the idea, makes their lives a little easier. But I really don't get why I'm supposed to want it.

I use different machines differently. The laptop I'm typing this on is my "main" browser, I have lots of bookmarks set up in a specific structure. I only use my phone browser when I have to, and it is rarely the same thing I've done before. It has a couple stale bookmarks, I don't care. I use the browser on my iPad even less. My big desktop is where I play with recreational software development, it has lots of bookmarks, but a very different set than my laptop. And my work phone/work laptop are their own things.

It just seems like making every closet door in your house open the same closet, if that where physically possible. There are reasons different things go in different buckets.
My employer cannot hire H1Bs. They are prohibited by law. All employees must be US citizens.

They pay extremely competitive rates. They are the reason for and a source of complaints regarding gentrification in my area.

edit: as an example the starting rate for high school work-study and college interns is the hourly equivalent of $78k/yr plus the same benefits as full-time employees from the second they show up.

The work environment is spectacular. There is no work from home because that is a practical impossibility so the work-life balance is carefully considered and benefits are outstanding. There are no after-hours tasks (there can't be, really).

You show up, work 9-5 in a relaxed environment, go home, cash your fat check, and enjoy travel and hobbies.

My Acura (up line Honda) was nice, but Honda has been really slow with the EV transition, so I left them for my next car even though I liked their quality. Hopefully they make the EV transition eventually.
Many of these junky mass-market products are currently stuck in a Nash Equilibrium[a]:

Each manufacturer is unable improve the product's quality without increasing its retail price, but increasing the price would make the product more expensive than competing products made by other manufacturers, who are in the same situation. No manufacturer can improve quality without raising prices and losing market share.

Their position is analogous to that of prisoners in the Prisoners' Dilemma[b]: Their best choice is the least-worst option for everyone.

> … [T]he author clearly acknowledges the tradeoff between pragmatism and safety, but it's unclear why it's better to draw the line at monads rather than separation logic.

Probably because programmers are already writing functional code in “mostly functional” languages, and they’re not writing separation logic.
I'm a documentation zealot. My eng teams understand we treat docs as products; they are project deliverables, and we allocate time to ensure we produce and maintain concise, clear and unambiguous content about the services we operate.

Nonetheless, I always have those team members who insist it's not their responsibility. A recent exchange I had with one of our engineers:

Eng: I can create our entire service portfolio, but I just don't know how to explain it in a document.

Me: I see. How about we start small, and just simply explain how service 'A' works. It's not too complicated.

Eng: Well, I don't know what outline to use. I don't know how to publish it. I don't know what content I should add. I don't know who would read it. This will take too long. It feels like busy work.

Me: So, if you're unable (seems like it) or unwilling (hopefully not) to do this work, what would you suggest we do to ensure we inform the rest of the company about service 'A'?

Eng: I don't know.

Me: Until we DO know, service 'A' will not be deployed.

Yes, and the safety conscious approach is great, and aviation and medicine are a pretty good examples, they can be safe and cheap at the same time. (Notwithstanding the usual [and rightful!] grumbling about the FDA, and the Boeing/FAA MCAS fuckup.)

The ROI is not there because other forms of electricity generation didn't have to pay for most of their externalities[1], and people don't give a damn about actual safety profile, or mid-long term overall costs, it's simply the usual sentimentalism-theater.

You know what, you could be onto something. I'm using the Firefox Developer version (122.0b3 64 bit). In any case, how are the differences resolved? E.g., in my recent case, all the devices ended up with only a handful of passwords (17), whereas the Linux laptop had 858. When I brought that laptop online (after exporting them), it synced and also ended up with the 17. I wonder what the logic was to deduce that the 17 are the ones to keep and the 858 should be deleted (there are some common ones of course). Because after sync when I imported the 858 back, it kept them all and synced them to all other devices, so it considered them as additions that should be kept.
The person doing the requesting did.
I believe the reason many of us tolerate links to news articles and other content is because we believe in equality when it comes to information access. In other words, many of us believe that those who cannot afford a subscription to a paywalled site should still be able to read the articles, in much the same way public libraries allow those who cannot afford to purchase a book the ability to read it.

However, this doesn't apply to organizations that freely share copyrighted information while making money in the process, or to organizations that share copyrighted information in a way that specifically disadvantages or does harm to the original creator of that information.
But really, it’s much easier to enter the EU. You have dozens of countries with their own rules so there are many more options. Plus immigration rules tend to be much easier than the US with its famously strict legal immigration with low caps.

Indeed, this balance between supply and demand is exactly what keeps US tech salaries high. Our dynamic economy creates a lot of tech roles while our restrictive immigration limits high skill immigrants from filling those roles, raising salaries.

Tech companies have been lobbying unsuccessfully for years to raise or eliminate the h-1b cap, which would absolutely cut salaries. That’s why they are lobbying for it, to reduce their labor costs.

Personally I think this is all going to be moot anyway. With software development becoming a mostly remote role after the pandemic, I’ve seen a lot less barrier over the past few years to hiring offshore teams. My own small division of 100 people has offshore teams in 3 countries.
How many batteries do we need to store the equivalent energy in 1kg of uranium or thorium?

Yeah, I think the word "shuffle" itself indicates what people are actually looking for here; when I shuffle a deck of playing cards, I'm changing the order, but I'm still getting every card exactly once when I deal them. Nobody claims that the deck order isn't random because you can't get the 7 of clubs twice after shuffling it.
When does it do that? I mean during doing what?
Their shuffle is completely broken, but so are all modern streaming music players. It used to be that shuffle would do just that - shuffle the deck of cards (playlist), and then deal the cards in order, never repeating until all cards have been dealt. Now it just keeps the playlist in the same order it was in and jumps all over the place, repeating songs and never playing some. It's very frustrating and woefully broken. Old media players did it correctly.
Won't this just dramatically shrink the number of initial work visas given out? Because you'll have to assume each one is now just a green card with extra steps.

>Are you implying the patent examiner doesn't apply actual judgement or make actual judgments?

They might make "judgements" in the colloquial sense, but from a legal point of view they don't make the final call. It's not any different than a cop giving you a ticket for speeding. You're not guilty until convicted by a judge/jury.

Can some long-standing user of iOS Firefox say if the sync issues there have been fixed? Halfway-broken sync on iOS version of Firefox (as well as a general lack of love for it and the UI that kept getting redesigned every other month) was the reason why I switched to Safari 4 years ago.

Hasn't it always been the case? There's a ton of old patents for shit which can't work as described.
No. Your conclusion is wrong.

Renewables being installed does not imply nuclear not being installed.
It's rather the other way around, they'd been working on the remasters for a while and were completely blindsided by the publishing of the re3 / reVC source code, which promised to be a better option than their own remasters could be. This scared them shitless and led to the lawsuit.
I'd rather have GPT than the NY Times, if I had to choose between one or the other.
> How many do you have?

That seems like an odd retort to me. Like I have zero because I find the whole idea ethically dubious. When I was at IBM, they had occasional patent brainstorming meetings. I remember saying to one of the more senior engineers that everything I worked on was straightforward/obvious, and he told me I'd be surprised, which didn't do much to sway my thoughts on the ethics there.

Everyone who had been there for a few years had a couple patents. I don't remember any of them now, which I guess is sort of the point: it was all basic stuff that would be very difficult to honestly characterize as an "invention".
For such ancient paintings, often repair work has been done, sometimes over considerable portions of the surface.

It's entirely possible that Joseph's face had to be redone (water damage, smoke, a tear) a century later and of course was done by a different painter.

I'd expect most old paintings would 'suffer' from this. Not unlikely some of the training data (49 paintings 'by Raphael') suffered from this, muddying the conclusion further.
