As for us engineers, the question remains whether they were forced to do it, as I expect they were:

"VW initially claimed the fraud was merely the work of two software engineers. However, the document also stated that managers repeatedly approved the system's use despite objections from other employees, and they encouraged engineers to keep the design a secret."

emacs. Totally free and open source since 1976.

oh, sorry, you asked for an IDE and not an operating system... /s

seriously, budget a day or two for the ergonomics and a week for wrangling plugins, but some of the most productive developers in the world use emacs and they never need to worry about vendor issues, porting issues, not having a GUI, support for some weird file type, ability to create some funky type of macro, etc.

Grover Norquist, prominent conservative voice and head of Americans For Tax Reform has talked about the danger of government provided filing services, namely that he believes it leads ultimately to increased taxes.
The idea is that if the govt is saying how much you made, how much you owe, and just giving you a place to click "OK", it's on the tax payer to do the math to disagree, and the govt has incentive to find you owe more. And, taxes are less visible and easier, so if taxes go up or policies change, all the americans just confirming and hitting "Pay" aren't going to notice or be mad.
Or, something like that.

For /some/ subset, not that I have any percentage to quote, the bigger vehicle is possibly necessary. I.e, contractors who need a large pickup truck to haul building supplies/tools to/from job sites.

But I've always personally felt that most (as in some value above 50%) of the /trend/ is simply a combination of "keeping up with the Joneses" [1] and marketing at work.

A huge difference between 1995 and today is in 1995 "simcity.exe" might represent fewer than a half dozen artifacts because patches and updates were rare. An exception covering a handful of cases is maintainable and testable.

Today patches are near constant so a "simcity.exe" might represent hundreds of different versions of the code. It's much harder to maintain exceptions since the list of cases is much larger. Even if your test harness is embarrassingly parallel your results are only as accurate as the latest version available to test.

None of that is impossible but there's additional non-zero costs involved in maintaining compatibility exceptions. At some point they tip over to not being worth the investment.
Pet subject time.

It can happen that VCs attend board meetings, have the right to appoint directors but don't appoint them, as a way of holding power over the rest of the board. They do this (amongst other reasons) to avoid being directors of a company that might fail (as many companies do in the early years). This legally should make them 'shadow directors' and should mean they have the same responsibilities as a director, but I haven't seen this enforced.

Anyway, if they became real directors, like they should, then they would have open access to the financial records. Hoisted by their own petard.

I don't think such an attitude is warranted. While I'm skeptical about the potential of LLMs as AGI (whatever that means), being able to summarize subjects and even come up with test questions can be very valuable for learning. I am concerned about the confabulation aspect, though. I wonder if there could be a uncertainty metric for that.
There are different versions and some are made in Italy and some are made in China. The one I have is the same shape as the traditional moka pot and has a black base. It's made in Italy. There is one that has a more modern shape, and I know those are made in China. If seen other variations in color and shape, but I can't speak to those. You just have to double check the box or description. If I'm on Amazon, I go to the question section and search for the word "made" to see if anyone has mentioned where it is made.

I think this is mostly your own personal experience and likely a bit rose tinted.

It is perfectly possible to deploy a webapp in React that will last for 10 years more or less how a website from 10 years ago could still function today. Also jQuery's very existence was due to how much of a disaster writing webapps was in the past with the host of compatibility issues between not only browsers but just within versions of the same browser. Also there's no issue scaling WordPress? WordPress is notoriously slow and hard to scale. It's a great option for getting a basic website up and running quickly but by God is it a slow and bloated mess and while you can performance tune it, it's not at all a simple or straight forward process and it certainly wasn't easier 10 years ago.

I've been a web developer since 1998 and it's definitely much easier to deploy, maintain and scale websites today than it ever was not to mention that websites today play a much larger role with the rise of mobile computing than they did back then.

To the extent that it was easier to do anything in the past, it was because the concerns of the past were much smaller than they are today. Security was a much lesser concern 10-15 years ago than now. Writing webapps that work across multiple devices also was a much lower priority. Compatibility was a complete mess, many sites were developed to just work on a specific version of Internet Explorer. The idea that 10 years ago there were minimal problems deploying websites or maintaining them is likely you remembering the good parts and forgetting the bad or that your websites didn't need much scale or didn't address many of the modern concerns that exist today. Things were pretty bad back then to be frank and it's much easier today than it ever was.

Sure, I didn't really mean the general public but meant scientific/mathematically oriented public. When I studied math in college, I found Euler everywhere to the point that it was hard not to stop and wonder how the hell this guy had so many fundamental discoveries. By contrast, I have awareness of present day figures like Tao and Erdos, but I don't really understand their work and perceive it to be specialized enough that it is unlikely to be widely understood in the way that say e^(pi * i) + 1 = 0 is.
If I don't get the refund quickly, I don't trust that I'll get it ever. Things can fall through the cracks, and support dwindles for older tax returns.
>Where do they state that?

It is a policy that goes back decades. Reagan was notably adamant that "Taxes should hurt" to the point that he opposed the very idea of withholding taxes. He was the reason that California was the last state with an income tax to start automatically withholding taxes.

>Higher taxes aren't really more complicated to pay.

That isn't the argument. The idea is that the more painful the tax paying process is, the more likely Americans will oppose the very idea of taxes. It is very simple form of Pavlovian conditioning. Preparing taxes is a painful and awful process and people naturally associate that with the very idea of taxes.

> Flash (and probably ActiveX) were also executed in a "sandboxed environment", including "limited access to the system's resources".

IIRC, the main issue with ActiveX was that it did not execute in a sandboxed environment, unlike Flash and Java. With ActiveX, all you had was a cryptographic signature saying it came from a trusted publisher; past that, the full Win32 API was available, with complete access to the operating system.

Certain aspects of the tax code for "normies" who are on the higher income side has probably gotten more complicated at various times. (Or not, see the increase in the standard deduction.) But I'm willing to bet that if you went back to the 60s or even the 70s, you'd find filling out taxes wasn't appreciably easier and a far smaller fraction of people went to accountants--and of course tax software wasn't even an option. Nor were home calculators.

I'm guessing it's far more about the rise of shopping mall tax prep than Intuit lobbying.

I don't know if it's ever been in a situation where it was left in a sleep-state for multiple days.
Is there a "Common Lisp Electron" thing floating around?

The GUI situation of the free lisps is pretty much a non-started for anything portable, just curious if there's a project bundling Common Lisp with a browser window, like Rust Taurus.

At this level, there's no reason to fret about download sizes anymore if you're comparing to something like Electron, so no real need to "shake the tree" or really limit the lisp image size. Modern lisps aren't that big compared to most anything else anyway.

Which you have no way of knowing, because if we had a process to determine that, we wouldn't need juries to begin with.

What you can tell, by comparing the outcomes between decisionmakers, is which way their bias leans relative to the alternative. And "biased towards convicting more innocent people" is bad.

A lot of decisions come from experience and expertise. There are hundreds of little data points that all come together in my brain when I make an engineering decision, and I can't even necessarily enumerate them all. It's exhausting to have to justify every decision to others. Gathering data on 100 approaches that don't work is just too expensive. Sometimes you should just let experts be experts and defer to them, even if they can't exactly say why.
What I really like and admire about Euler is how masterfully he handled infinities and infinitesimals to arrive at correct conclusions (the vast majority of times anyway) even though analysis hadn’t been made rigorous yet (by Cauchy and Weierstrass and friends), so some of what he did was pure magic and took a lot of good intuition.

An example of this is when, in solving the then notorious Basel problem, he factors trig functions into infinite products of (x +- k*pi) terms just by analogy with root factorization in finite polynomials.

Happy to disagree here. I am hopeful that students get apps which provide them with

- better adjustment to their learning speed
- more patience
- gamification
- oppurtunity to ask endless questions

Of course, only as an addition to the current mix. For math problems, this will be easier than for other contexts.

The number is typically 12 rather than 1000, and it's pretty unambiguous that it's possible to convince 12 random people to convict someone when the evidence is clear. And sometimes when it isn't.

This is awesome, but a lot of the queries I've tried to make seem to fail on OSM's data itself, which is sad.

So it's cool for a lot of stuff, but mostly explicitly streets; the other kinds of nodes all exist but aren't as well fleshed out as they could be (totally understandable).

If you only have income from one W-2, two if you are married, yes it is easy. But if you have any variability in your income, it's hard to predict how much you tax you are going to owe. Not every income supports withholding (i.e. savings accounts) and the way you can set withholding varies by income source (W-2 supports a dollar amount per paycheck, RSUs often use a percentage). So getting the right combination of withholding settings to cover your tax liability across all income sources can be tricky.
