This dynamic is ironic because the very first generation of programmers was very gender-integrated - albeit for sexist reasons: the population drew from "computers", who were largely women. My mother-in-law had a career as a Fortran and COBOL developer and then instructor in the sixties and seventies (which she doesn't think is nearly as cool as I do). At some point it switched (my guess is when the profession became more highly-remunerated). I'd like it to switch back, more quickly.

With the risk of being somewhat off-topic, in this thread I'll be the one bringing up Helix first. As a vim user for 20 years, I tried it out last time it was brought up on HN two months ago. I have been using it ever since and I probably won't go back. Despite my 20 years of vimming I had never really successfully customized it deeply, going with very few plugins and changes. Tried neovim a few times and it is amazing when it works, but the various distros, plugin updates and occasioanal errors made me anxious. If you are a power vim/nvim user who likes tweaking their config and playing with plugins that's great and nvim truly delivers on the Personal Development Environment idea as it is sometimes called.

For me, having more things covered almost out of the box (and by installing a few non-Helix packages like LSP servers) in Helix than I ever properly had without issues in vim setups (LSP, treesitter, fuzzy file open, built in keymap help, etc.) is liberating. The only clear downside for me is some of the shortcuts are different (xd instead of dd) but even those can be configured to be more like vim if you wish to.

For others no built-in-debugger or git integration may be showstoppers, since those will only be done via plugins when the plugin infrastructure is done.

When I heard about Helix a few years ago I was dismissive since it seemed like a pointless rewrite of and editor in Rust for performance or for a more consistent approach to keymappings, both of which seemed good goals but not good enough to switch your editor. The fact that it comes with so many features built in and thus stops the possibility of fragmentation across a lot of dimensions is very reassuring though. I want opinionated tools because I am not that special and neither are my programming tasks that different from other people's. Vim still has a special place in my heart and use it on remote servers.

So, sorry if off-topic, but for those who are in similar position - want bells and whistles not just a plain editor, but gets tired by finding and maintenance of many plugins - it may be worth checking out.
Afaik those were short term experiments - people don't drop out that quickly.
Do you have data to back that claim up? I remember reading evidence to the contrary, namely that programmers working on the same problem -- even in different environments -- tend to produce roughly the same set of bugs.

The conclusion of that study was that parallel development mainly accomplishes a false sense of security, and most of the additional reliability in those projects came from other sound engineering techniques. But I have lost the reference, so I don't know how much credibility to lend my memory.
With high integrity code quality certifications like MISRA-C, a quality level that most folks with cry if forced to work daily under such restrictions.

And since most companies keep failing at achieving the quality that random C coders say it is so easy on the Internets, provided one is a good C coder with discipline, now we have cybersecurity bills that in the long run will make any application making use of C or derived languages, be under similar control as MISRA and friends.

Alterantively, one can use a safer language and not be so strictly regulated, as per those cybersecurity guidelines.
> I say it merely requires foundational knowledge, which can indeed be taught and studied.

That is what you learn during your education, you can be a fresh junior with much better foundational knowledge than an average expert. Experts have experience in the field which is extremely important, but it solves different kinds of problems they aren't better at everything than a person with good fundamentals and a good mind.

> Intelligence in this concept is simply a measure of experience.

The ability to apply knowledge is intelligence. Smart people can do more with the same knowledge than dumb people. That is why you see so many say their education was pointless, they never figured out how to apply all that knowledge. Such people are still experts, but there are many kinds of problems that they aren't good at solving.
I suspect it may have worked better than the overcomplicated setups you see today where people are running Kubernetes and CDNs and whatever to serve the equivalent of a low-volume blog.
BASIC was an IDE even going back to Kemeny and Kurtz in the 60s. The upshot of that was, it was one of the first times nontechnical people would even countenance writing programs for a computer. Instead of having to use a keypunch to author the program and then submit the cardstack to an operator, you could author, run, and debug the program by sitting at the teletype and entering some simple commands along with your program.

Members of the Dartmouth football team wrote a football simulation for Dartmouth BASIC back then; a port of this game for microcomputer BASICs is available in David H. Ahl's BASIC Computer Games as "FTBALL".
Hey, I like my hours-long YouTube videos and would be remiss getting the Cliffs Notes. I wish Google would put those Shorts somewhere less in-your-face but sigh I know we live in a TikTok era.
TV presenting pays very well in comparison to Youtube. Plus all you have to do is turn up and read a script, as opposed to filming and editing a video to high production standards, or having to pay somebody out of your ad revenue to do it for you.
You don't need any plugins to be productive in Obsidian. But boy does a plugin like Dataview make life easier. Being able to run SQL-like queries on your notes was a game changer for me.

Other than that, the only plugin I use on a daily basis is Templater in combination with Quick Add, which lets me create advanced templates which can be executed with keyboard shortcuts. Starting a new work meeting? Hit a shortcut and I have a populated meeting note in the right folder, with today's dates etc. I have about 20 such templates for various things that I do frequently. It makes for tidy, structured notes which I can easily find later.
This is a long term trend

I think we're being overly nitpicky about "knowledge" and "memory". Memory is not binary (with current knowleddge on the topic). I can recall exactly what I had for dinner tonight. I can't precisely recall what I had last week but I have blurry ideas of what, which can be kickstarted by other sources (even if the actual source is wrong, saying "I had seafood last week" can prompt me to realize I went to a seafood restaurant and ordered a burger), or recalled if it was logged somewhere.

However, I can read a log from over a year ago on some dinner and it can still feel unfamliar. Are these 2 states really the same level of "memory" (or lack, thereof)?

>if you cannot fully remember something, then you do not know it.

I guess most people don't "know" how to program then, with them constantly relying on pesky documentation every-time they type a function in an IDE.

People can judge how they want. I'm glad my job doesn't care if I know off the cruft if it's "X.length" or "X.size()" or "len(X)" in Language Y as long as I take a second to google whichever language and library I'm using.
Not at all, it means independent from each other. Like the x and y coordinates of a point in a plane: you can set one of them to the value you want and it won't affect the other. This only happens when the x and y axes intersect at 90°, hence the "orthogonal".
I'm not opposed to pointing fingers at Apple when it's justified, but I believe in this case it's really just a matter of priorities.

My guess is that the number of users that use remote file storage providers is just much larger than that of users using actual (non-SMB) network or local (non-(ex)FAT) file systems, so they created a kext replacement for that use case first.

If anything, the File Provider API levels the playing field between iCloud and third-party remote storage providers, since the neat APFS tricks they can use to implement it would otherwise be unavailable to third party developers. For example, I find Google Drive to be much more well-behaved on File Provider than it ever was when using FUSE (I blame it for some hangs or kernel panics) or SMB (which was more stable, but did not support Spotlight at all).

For all the other use cases, I'm hopeful that we'll be seeing a real macOS FUSE sooner rather than later.
If the end is inevitable it is not worth to fight for nothing, because history show the uncle Sam always start conflicts and then always abounding it's allied party like now.

Lost territory producing 80% of it industrial products, excluded half of it's population from life just because their language. All of this because CIA and friends managed to buy a coup an to put brainless people on top of the country.

No power plant can be built anywhere you want, can it? Point being, and I never said we do not need baseload, baseload needs are much, much lower so than they used to be. Graphite production is just one of those really energy hungry industries that found a way to be flixible regarding demand, despite using, in my example, WW1 era production plants. Now imagine what can be done with modern production technology. Other industries I have first hand knowledge of: chemical plants and paper manufacturing. When you do production planning, when you consume electricity is an important constraint. And this flexibility is being rolled out to othet sites and industries, day after day, all the time.

So no, baseload needs are not as important as they used to be. Something people fail to accept, it seems... And those base load needs can be met, among other things, larger grids covering a bigger area. Also something tgat has been found as completely feasible in multiple studies. Feel free to ignore all of that so, I don't want to harm your strongly hold opinion.

I know of all this - I uploaded one app to F-Droid some years ago. It took about a year to get it fixed and 2 to get a false positive anti-feature removed. Not a problem, I like the service and it's free/libre so I don't expect stuff to be fixed fast.

> The Play Store review process doesn't do a thorough job of checking apps for privacy or security issues and doesn't require apps to disclose anything other than their permissions.

This is wrong. Depending on what you use, more scrutiny is applied, eg an Android Auto extension has to be compliant with road safety guidelines as well, in order not to disctract the driver. The process is not 100% thorough, no, but nothing can be. App devs have to disclose quite a lot on the Play Store actually, it's only getting more: URL where to delete account, URL where to delete data, information on how data is used, tracked and shared.

My main point was security:
- No restrictions on permissions is definitely libre in a way, but not secure.
- Afaik no codebase or runtime checks to make sure it's not malware etc.
What makes a language a "scripting" one?
You can use it in Obsidian. Or in any other note taking application. Or using paper notes and a physical zettelkasten.

More time absolutely helps, people do much better the second time they take a class. Teachers are a good example, they typically didn't get good grades, but after having seen the class over and over so many times they get good enough to teach it. It works, repetition leads to mastery.

> But your preference doesn't actually translate into better learning outcomes. Ie, you might prefer visual stimulus but the research suggests you'll still learn content just as fast if its presented in other mediums.

These two are not actually the same, despite the "i.e." connecting them. I'm sure you know that -- just pointing itnout because it's a common sleight of hand when referencing science.

"Failed to show an improvement in learning speed" does not mean "successfully showed an equality in learning speed". The latter is very hard to prove, and is probably the null hypothesis -- we just assume it to be true without evidence to the contrary.

This is certainly one of the things I am personally quite concerned about with AI: creating false equivalency with our own mental processes by adopting convenient language.

And I'll be clear that I mean more that I worry about the secondary stage where we will potentially make this mistake of trying to understand ourselves in terms of what we understand about AI -- as opposed to this first step where we try to understand AI in terms of what we understand (or at least have observed) in ourselves. Long before AI we've already been reverse applying metaphors we used to explain computing to describe our minds. I'm not completely rejecting the possibility that computational theory of mind holds, though I'm personally sceptical, but it seems to be quite vigorously embraced purely on its intuitional ease of adoption, rather than evidence.

We must remember that "the map is not the territory", as they say.

I then send the data stored in that object out of the browser as determined by the app for storage at the server.

It's not iPhone adoption: lots of countries have very high iPhone adoption, but don't use iMessage. The key is SMS: no one outside North America uses it any more; it's just like fax machines. It might still be used by businesses to send you package delivery notices, for instance, but that's about it. No one uses it to talk to their friends and family. Here in Japan, iPhone adoption is at least as high as in the US, but absolutely no one uses SMS for chatting; they use LINE messenger instead.

From what I've read elsewhere, the main reason was SMS charges: many years ago, it cost money to send SMS texts in most countries, while in North America the telecom companies were faster at offering free texting (or at least flat-rate). So elsewhere, various chat apps arose and caught on: LINE in Japan, WeChat in China, KakaoTalk in Korea, WhatsApp elsewhere. Now that everyone is used to these services and they've become so popular to the point where they're basically mandatory to participate in society, why would anyone want to go back to SMS? The only problem with the messaging apps is that they're all separate from each other so they're silos, but unless you have a lot of friends spread across different countries, that's not an issue. And these apps don't disciminate based on which phone you own.

Or a Euro with greater fiscal union.

This is an article that explores one way to achieve this given political reality, that the "North" would be sending money to the "South" if implemented, yet both North and South benefit from the Euro system continuing:

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/european-review/arti...

> An EU Fiscal Union is being discussed as a way to avoid future euro-crises and guarantee the stability of the euro. So far, however, it has proved politically impossible, as EU countries are unwilling to give up their sovereignty on fiscal policy. This article develops a bargaining model that sheds light on how fiscal pooling could become politically acceptable. The model differentiates between the ‘South’ (net beneficiaries) and the ‘North’ (net payers). We find that fiscal pooling should be done via a combination of the fiscal instruments with the highest fiscal multipliers. Instead of a single Fiscal Union, we therefore propose a combination of fiscal pooling instruments which, together, add up to the sufficient level of fiscal integration.
It's related to the talk about filesystem interface metaphors in this specific subthread :)

I doubt the research accounts for Neurodivergent folks, assuming it even correctly represents Neurotypical.

As with many of these studies, they're treated as fact despite it being clear that it does not address the real-world problems.

Do I actually learn better visually ? No idea, but it's also clear that I don't learn in the same way as the majority of people in the classes I attended, and failed many exams despite being able to achieve the same outcomes.

I think the definition of 'learning' needs to be considered. It is measured by an exam, or is it a true understanding of the subject taught, as these are often two very different outcomes.
Yes it is, but developer is no longer being funded by RedHat to work on it so its slowed down.
