You have to read Dan Luu's post to understand the meaning of "debugging" - https://danluu.com/teach-debugging/

Everyone learns software debugging in high school (If you do programming) and university, I'm not sure why people are agreeing with the premise with this mistaken definition.

I don't agree with Dan Luu, he seems to wave his hands and say it should be taught, but that's exactly what happened to him, that is traditional university, I'm not exactly sure how you'd learn it otherwise.

His comment re systematic debugging - "It takes, at most, half an hour to teach the absolute basics" is somewhat embarrassing.

Then he moves onto "fundamental skills" which is a different topic.
Oh I know Iceland is about the same as northern Labrador or even south east Nunavut. But here in SE Canada especially Newfoundland the warm Gulfstream and Labrador current both meet here so it can be quite foggy. Plus it seems we are like the tailpipe of North America every weather system seems to end up here even hurricanes.
I don't think implicit's were a wart, and AFAIK in Scala 3 implicits effectively still exist but with a different syntax (but not touched it for a while, so may be wrong)

Maybe he contributed the receiver syntax to Go, we can only assume. But anyway it's not that much Oberon in Go, much less than pop culture assumes. By the end of the day, the two languages mostly share the concept of static typing (with Go even stricter than Oberon), modularity and garbage collection; otherwise they have a different focus (concurrency in Go, type extension and minimalism in Oberon).
A bit like the cover of that old Kansas album that showed tribal members in the shadow of a ruined freeway (great art, I don't know about the music).
Way to be wrong about something. These aren’t React dependencies.

> Ever tried using an Apple mouse while charging? ;)

Lol yeah that design is really baffling!

That said, it's still possible. The charging port is near the back edge of the mouse (the side closer to the user) whereas the sensor is on the other end. It won't be comfortable but letting the cable hang off the edge of the desk should allow you to use it to turn bluetooth back on. :)

Yes.

One of the things I absolutely fucking loathe on my MacBook is it will always turn on the Bluetooth upon hard (re)boot. I never use Bluetooth; I turn it off for a reason.

That's the thing. It seems simple at a glance but even in those cases, there is a lot more going on than we care to admit.

Hosting own DNS Server at home that blocks some domains freaks me out. I have never run it, so don't know. But comparing to just running AdGuard on my macOS, there are some times, that website would not open or behave without AdGuard being turned off. It is easy to do on my local macOS, but in case of using AdGuard as DNS Server on my home network - that will require more steps.

Also, even if you run AdGuard as DNS on local network, you still need to run it on your macOS, if you are planning to travel.

Pacing and self-regulation. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Set an hours-per-week budget. Beyond that things just don’t get done. That’s okay.

If the community needs faster pace, they can consider supplying hours or dollars to fund more developers to work full-time.
This is the kind of error that LLMs almost never make but writers on minimum wage make all the time.
It's definitely only part of the reason. If it were the only reason, it would be easy enough for a 'unified' ROM to contain config/devicetrees for a few thousand models of phone, and auto-select which one to use at boot time depending, for example, on a commandline flag.
That inertia is indeed huge. For example, if your library uses RFID but also shares a catalog and their books with other libraries, they'll still need barcode labels (with the same number that's encoded on the tag) so that the other libraries can deal with the items. Barcode scanners are ubiquitous in libraries; RFID readers, not so much.

Also, one of the promises of RFID for libraries has not panned out very cleanly. When a library does an inventory, not only do they want to verify the existence of the books, but that they are _in order_ on the shelf. RFID vendors for libraries promised that you could do this "shelfreading" accurately just by passing the wand across each shelf, but for various reasons the results are imperfect enough that it's not a clear winner over doing it with a barcode scanner. Given the fact that RFID tags have historically been far more expensive than barcode labels, the economics don't pencil out for many libraries to switch to RFID.
I've started using uBlockList to block those sites and it does clean it up quite a bit. I assume those sites also work for some, but they're usually of low quality to me so I block them.

The second type of searches you describe seem to be better so far, but I've stumbled upon a bunch of obviously generated garbage recently. So not sure how long it'll hold.

I've tried things like DDG, YaCy, Bing and others, but often Google is just significantly better (but not necessarily good).

> allows structure to grow organically
> powerful feature ... Internal Links.
> plain text files

Well, they're not _plain_ text - there is some markup. So that invites the question - why not HyperText Markup Language?

Doesn't HTML have all of these features - hyperlinks, folder structures, "plain" text? Isn't HTML also future proof? It's been around long enough. And doesn't it also work offline? There's a bunch of different apps out there that support viewing these both on and offline.

So, do people just use Obsidian/Markdown because they like dislike "<em>HTML</em>"?

edit: I'm not saying it's "wrong" to dislike HTML. I'm 50% trolling and 50% saying none of these are features of Obsidian. They're features of HTML (and Markdown is its shorthand).
That 0% platform royalty was on top of the $300 flat fee for the Windows operating system (or however much, I never ran Windows myself), whereas iOS is technically free (no fee for major updates). You’re paying for the OS/platform one way or another.
Apple Vision Pro is coming out soon, with the same terrible rules for app developers.

We should put out an open letter to Apple that we will collectively ignore that product until it contains more favourable terms.
Yes! I didn't write a comment here about it, due to the forum rules, but I'm glad you pointed it out.
rust's CI is quite extensive actually; there's a talk on it here: https://www.pietroalbini.org/blog/shipping-a-compiler-every-...

CI is good. more tests are good. but there's a limit to how much they can catch.

here is an example: there is an internal type checking API called [`resolve_vars_if_possible`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_infer/...). this needs to be called on the output of almost any call to `.normalize()`, or you will get an internal compiler error. the conditions under which you get an ICE are quite complicated; sometimes you need 6 or more items in the crate with `impl Trait` or type_alias_impl_trait or const generics involved. but it's very easy to see there's a bug just by looking at the code and seeing the missing `resolve_vars()` call.

how can we automate this? well, rustc has a mechanism for "internal lints", but they're somewhat annoying to write - you're basically writing a new compiler pass, and it needs to not have false positives. it's much easier to just catch this one instance. so the reviewer, who's already burned out, does this quick manual review instead.
Wow! Sounds really cool! What are the pricing options? Also, do we need to be on a paid plan to self host it?
This likely has far more to do with IVF than with cloning. In humans, IVF is only 20-30% successful on the first attempt and these days it’s strongly recommended to only try one embryo at a time. Based on the numbers quoted it looks like they did 5 at a time per monkey which decreases survival rates even more. Add in average miscarriage rates in humans of 10-20% (increases with age) and this experiment doesn’t look all that bad to me.

> BlueSky and Threads draw in influencers more than Mastodon, since the latter benefits from its Instagram integration and the former is only really possible to get an invite to if you're at least somewhat popular online/know the right people.

I think it's true that these appeal far more to 'influencers' than Mastodon, but I think your explanation is wrong; it's really not at all difficult to get a Bluesky invite, and hasn't been for a long time. I suspect the reason they're popular with 'influencers' is that they have an Algorithm (TM); if your post is sufficiently popular/controversial it gets shoved in the face of people who don't follow you. Mastodon lacks this (and some see its lack of it as a major strength of the platform).

> Mastodon saw less of a decrease in activity than BlueSky or Threads, because the people attracted to that platform weren't particularly focused on getting followers/high metrics.

I think that's true, but not the whole story. Mastodon saw the migration of whole _communities_ in a way that Bluesky and Threads largely didn't; you'd expect this to be stickier.
Without medicine, I'd probably have died of a severe throat infection while hospitalized as a pre-internet teenager.

Without the internet, I'd have vastly reduced choice in entertainment.

I'll take the medicine. By many orders of magnitude.

Now if we focus on "sufficiently long time scales" perhaps the internet is going to be the human invention that enables us to get where we need to be. But that's a guess. Perhaps I'm dim but I don't see how the internet is obviously more important than penicillin by orders of magnitude.
Nah, I think it's good to get the context. I never realised Dijkstra probably had Turing's paper in mind when he said that.

> Most of my open source work was in the pre-GitHub days when we used mailing lists, not pull requests, to build community. I do think there was something better about that for the project itself as it encouraged a lot more discussion and community building. PR's and Issues become silos and are not great for general discussion. I think they also encourage drive-by contributions which honestly are intoxicating initially but once you see people are not coming back become defeating.

Glad some said it. When things are too organised or categorised it just becomes another business/todo list.
Yes, Java is often used in HFT, due to one being able to quickly modify the algorithm, while keeping it safe and performant. This is used for mostly the algorithms that have to be fast, but not to the degree of “let’s buy this building which is closer to the bank, because the internet cable length matters”. Do note, that for the latter kind, general purpose CPUs (and thus, programming languages) themselves are not fast enough and is dominated by ASICs.
Is that a new thing? When I graduated from Cornell back in 2000, the CS majors literally had recruiters throwing money at them. Even when I got my MBA, guys with engineering and CS backgrounds were courted heavily.

That said, I have seen an explosion in "Data Science" degree mills pumping out useless graduates. It will sadden me if CS has fallen that low.
The thing is that you can't really talk about Steam like other platforms. They are already competing with themselves on price somehow.
Games that are launched on Steam do not cost more than they do elsewhere in the first place, and secondly people very often buy on sales at prices low enough that it doesn't make sense to look elsewhere for the convenience of having it all in one place.

There are also plenty of big games with publishers big enough that they have their own platform (EA, Ubisoft, Epic, Microsoft) and depending on many things their games may or may not be on Steam also.

Steam also accepts keys purchased from elsewhere so in principle even if most of your sales are somewhere else, it is better to have it on Steam.
I also think you Steam is offering some valuable community/platforms tools.

Not much of this applies to the Apple app store. The truth is the reason people use it is because that's the only thing allowed.
If peoples could install apps from anywhere with its own self-update mechanism (like sparkle or something more modern like a hybrid web-app) I doubt it would be used as much appart from free stuff from developers that do not want to figure out distribution.
If there was a large price difference, most people wouldn't use it, just like most people do not go to the more expensive supermarket unless they absolutely have to.

>>veterinarians

veterinarians are the most realists people in the medical field. While you put cost as the main factor my experience it is not simply a math problem, it is often a quality of life issue. Spending the $10,000 to extended a pets life for a another year is rarely about making the pet better, it is emotional support for the human companion of the pet while the pet will end up suffering for the year and die anyway.

So yes it is often cheaper to humanely put a pet down, it is often also the most ethical thing do to even if money was not a factor.

I call them realists because the face the inevitability of death head on in a way that we do not do in Human Medicine where we believe maximization of chronological age is the singular goal to be achieved at all costs with no regard to cost, pain, suffering or quality of life.

The person using the AI doesn't matter in the equation. They aren't an artist, they're a monkey with a typewriter.

We're talking about the AI here, because it can generate the same images no matter which monkey with a typewriter is typing the prompts.
> I don’t think you’re required to use alternative App Store.

You’re also not required to use an iPhone. Grab an Android phone with the features you want (multiple app stores) and you’re good to go!

Anyway.

The best store isn’t necessarily the best store for me, and apps (think TikTok, etc.) have more pull than an App Store does so what will happen is they will launch their product only on non-Apple app stores that have less strict requirements and review processes and people will go download from there. Customers will have to download multiple app stores, manage subscriptions in multiple places, have to manage user profiles and credit card information across multiple app stores, etc. It’s kind of like today with the competing streaming services. Not great.

While this presents a few problems, my chief concern is that it unwinds some of the great features that Apple essentially lobbied for on behalf of customers. Features such as Sign in with Apple, and other privacy oriented features.

With multiple app stores customers have no bargaining power or anyone bargaining on their behalf. It’s a marriage of corporate interests united against customers.

I’m struggling to see the benefit to customers. It seems like we’re trying to screw normal people so a few big companies like Meta can make an extra buck and grab up more of your data.

This is especially naive given that the problems with the Horizon system started in 1999, when the Labour Party was in power, and extended to the end of the coalition government, in which a Liberal Democrat was postal minister and a Conservative was Prime Minister.

Part of the problem is that MPs are on average too old, too stupid, or too reactive to actually understand technology, but another part is that they are incapable almost entirely of engaging with a deep problem if it doesn’t have a soundbite for the Today show.

In the case of debugging I would say that the academic side would benefit from the teaching of the fundamentals of debugging: this is because debugging at its core is just science, the process of measuring and perturbing a system to understand something about how it works. You can teach someone gdb but if they don't get the fundamentals then they will struggle to actually debug anything

Considering reorganization under bankruptcy is not equivalent to going out of business.
This disregards side costs like storage, global distribution, retries, re-downloads, updates, backups and the likes. It's probably still cheaper than AWS outbound pricing in the end, but hosting apps is more than just the bandwidth used exactly once.
I think, from observation, that the Rust project has worse burnout problems than most other similarly-sized open source projects.

I'm not sure whether it's more to do with the way the project is organised, the state of the codebase, or the sort of person that's attracted to working on Rust in the first place.
