From the OP’s article:

>Apple is the first major operating system vendor who had abandoned a four-decades-long tradition. Their new visionOS — for the first time in the history of Apple — will have round checkboxes.

So the death of the square checkbox they are predicting is only in the context of VisionOS. Apple’s HIG explain why this decision was made (my link), so I don’t think it is part of a larger trend and we shouldn’t expect it to impact anyone not using VisionOS, or other such headsets with eye tracking. It was done for technical reasons relating how the person will interact with the device, not style reasons.
I’m the responsible person that Samuel talked about. I agree thanks for the feedback. Any chance that we can get on a call?
Yes, but it would be more expensive than current methods.
Maybe it's a loophole to allow companies to sell fewer "compliance car" EVs to meet regulatory total-fleet fuel efficiency targets?

For instance, maybe Ford has to sell the equivalent of one Mach-e for every ten gas-powered F-150s, but if the efficiency numbers were accounted for more accurately they'd have to sell six Mach-e's for every ten F-150s.

Or, alternatively, it's a way to get credit from the government for making efficient vehicles, when the vehicle in question is an F-150 Lightning. Perhaps it's a fine truck for what it's worth, but it's the exact opposite of an efficient vehicle unless you're using it for a use case where only a large truck will do.
Agreed. The military is incredibly scientific about their approach to testing. No test is perfect of course, but they have high levels of funding for full-time professionals to do nothing but study this in a rigorous academic way. Also worth remembering is that the military academies are ivy league, so not exactly low value institutions.

Where there is a need for personnel, there is some incentive to accept people who might not be ideal, but they are going to approach that in the most sane way possible.
> because it tells me that the people promoting the crisis see evidence in everything,

Are you saying you really believe that academic papers studying the GLOBAL temperature are using individual local weather events as evidence? That if you go to the IPCC reports they'll say "it sure was hot in California this week, so our gut feeling is..."?

Are there any other fields of science where you would dismiss the science based on other non-scientists associating themselves with it making anecdotes?

I think this is how to look at it:

Step 1) The science about GLOBAL TEMPERATURE doesn't have anything to do with local weather. It's statements about what you will see as the global average. That's testable, verifiable, etc (do you want to bet that the global average is COLDER in 10 years than today? I'll take your bet...)

Step 2) Given the predictions about the global temperature -- one may point to individual weather events as illustrations -- "hey, in the future we'll see more weather like this as the increased energy in the systems changes the patterns from what we are used to in the past". That's a valid statement; but it's not meant as anecdotal proof, it's just making a statement on what you're likely to see more of now and in the future, based on science that is NOT based on local weather events, but on looking at averages for the entire planet.

If you saw how little code my projects require, you would realize that this is incorrect.

I've built a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that can work with most blockchains in just 5000 lines of code. Has been running for 4 years with zero bugs.

I've written a cryptocurrency from scratch with only about 4000 lines of code and have not had any bug reported after 3 years of continuous operation. On the other hand, projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum are hundreds of thousands of lines.

I've also written a no-code platform in less than 4k lines of code which supports complex views with real time updates, pagination, indexing, access control, multi-tenancy and has been bug-free since it launched. I built the whole thing in about 3 months part time.

All of these built with plain JavaScript/Node.js. I can support all of these projects in parallel because I rarely need to update them.

The idea of military was that you have below average pay but insane benefits (and depending on the time, cultural respect), both directly and indirectly (There are/were so many places that give a military discount).

> “People who haven't graduated high school are inferior. They're not less human, but they are incontrovertibly less able.”

I didn’t graduate from high school, and I completely disagree with you.

I learned more math as a teenager than most people ever do, learned two languages to fluency in my 20s, both in very different language families from my native one, and got into a nice software career in my 30s, first in Beijing and then in SF.

Why exactly am I “inferior”? Just because I didn’t choose to pursue the piece of paper that your world view dictates?
It certainly is an umbrella term. Overloaded terms usually do lose meaning. I think it means any form of media that acts or behaves as a social venue to convey personal submissions.

YouTube is an example of a Media company that has social media elements but isn't a social media site. But when we look at TikTok at least in its original state it was purely short form media in which a user can socially communicate thoughts and ideas through a short clip. With comments. Those elements and that being the main appeal make it social media.
It isn't compliant with ISO C++ standard library for starters.

Yes, it is: https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/farming-robot-...
I'm not sure why that distinction matters, it's the same situation. The CapEx is being decentralized and so also is the burden of ownership

We'll end up in situations where people buy a property (personal or business) then the first year of ownership get hit with a "sorry, needs new solar system" type surprise bill. This is not uncommon for HVAC and sometimes plumbing issues, much more unusual for electric and gas utilities.
I think you may be overestimating the amount of education many high school graduates have as a practical matter. Similarly, I know people that never finished high school that achieved more in computer science disciplines than most people that post here ever will. Most things of value you have to teach yourself, no matter how much schooling you have, and that has far more bearing on outcomes than people like to acknowledge.

For people that didn’t graduate high school, being a moron typically was not a causal factor. Knowing how to write and do basic algebra is sufficient to bootstrap yourself to anywhere you want to go, and many people get an adequate foundation in that before they ever get to high school, never mind graduate.
Only if that is how you implement it.

Yes that's what saved us, and a few other things.

I work for a huge government owned telco and our networking guys are the best. They keep us server guys in line. So even though they did expose our Gitlab to an extent, for certain external projects and consultants, you still can't visit it from the internet freely.

And also we manage users in AD so there is no SMTP connection to even do password resets.

But we really need to enforce more 2FA, we've left it up to each project to enforce their own rules on 2FA.
You are probably right. However, if I remember correctly (it's been awhile), it was one of them that didn't return a CORS header, but a 200 status, but that led to a number of requests that failed. But regardless, as an SPA, the Teams application is not resilient to it.
Yes, but the vast majority of the resource consumption happens for people in rich countries in the West, and those are not the countries with the large population growth.
Sorry, I might be missing something. What does mpg even mean for an electric vehicle? When measuring efficiency I typically see miles/kWh, which to my knowledge is not fudged (except for “this may not match real-world driving” etc.)
I have watched this video at least 50 times since it was first released and find something to laugh about each time.

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. I participated in many "offline" workshops and most of them were great. They allow for real debate by offering the full range of human communication.

I never once had the same experience in a remote or hybrid workshop.
I assume you're making use of no-throw placement new and not touching any standard library type, whose error conditions as available only via exceptions as per ISO C++.

Otherwise good luck porting that exception free code across multiple OSes and C++ compilers, not only the big three.
That's not going to be sufficient to prevent climate change (well, nothing we'll realistically do now will be sufficient to do that - it's too late, just as scientists were warning us decades ago), so probably the question is less about reducing climate change but rather how to mitigate the consequences of climate change to you personally and your community - "avoid waterfront property" is one step there, but probably we can do much more.
That is frustrating, and very bad accessibility.

> Weather isn't climate

We're so far down climate change that now it is.

When the normal winter climate in my area has in average 5 months of freezing temperature with an average at -4C and now it's only freezing for two weeks and I'm getting 8C to 12C instead, climate change is the reason of this insane weather change.

The changes are so big that now the weather is also the climate, they are so large that they became visible with the naked eye without any measurement.
It’s not taboo. It’s regularly discussed and supported in mainstream media.

Harvesting electricity from high-voltage transmission lines using fences
Yeah I absolutely agree. I wanted to do something reasonably bespoke using IndexedDb in a web browser a few months ago. The documentation for indexeddb is frankly a confusing mess.

ChatGPT helped me get started. I asked it to write the code I wanted, and with a bit of back and forth it produced code that barely worked, was overly verbose and had no unit tests. However, it made great use of the indexeddb API. I used that code as a starting point and ended up with something robust and half as long that works great.

ChatGPT has read all the documentation and example code so I don’t have to. But I’m still much better at programming. For problems like this, we make a good team.
I’d probably agree with you 5 years ago, but in those 5 years typescript has shown that you can take a completely dynamic language, add a very powerful and well thought out type system and the resulting language is so much better for non-trivial projects.

So if you ask me, who has been programming Python since before new-style classes, if types make sense for Python, the answer is a resounding ‘yes’: just steal as much typescript typing as possible.

>So it's not supported.

That is right.

>you want me to pretend that developer concerns have been addressed

No, I want people interested in this feature to track the bug or contribute the fix themselves since it is an open source project.

>it is reasonable to conclude that either Google does not see addon support as a priority worth investing sufficient developer resources into

That is correct in my understanding. This means that the open source community needs to dedicate their own resources if they want to accelerate progress here.

>the inability of an extension to load before the browser starts sending requests is a non-issue to you

Assuming no events are dropped then I don't see it as an issue.

>doesn't make the wild decision to start loading pages before the user's addons have initialized.

It doesn't sound that wild if it speeds up launch time by not blocking on third party extensions having to load.

>it's also about when it happens and the fact that (as mentioned above) uBO Lite can't guarantee that it will be running when a request is made

This is not an issue as the extension does not need to be running for the browser to apply the rules. The extension is only needed to update the rules.

I'm all ears on current ways to make friends as an adult, or at least ideas on where to go.

> People who haven't graduated high school are inferior. They're not less human, but they are incontrovertibly less able.

I didn't graduate from high school. I ran business groups, founded startups, exited, accumulated patents, and am usually considered articulate and capable.

Yes, the distribution of people who didn't graduate from high school are different from those who did. But you can measure the things you actually care about. High school education (or other educational attainment) is just one signal of a person's capability.
When you say it was "rejected", are you saying you received a message saying it was rejected, or it didn't appear on the site, or it was removed? I see a number of less-than-5-star reviews citing both of the flaws you mention.
I think there's 2 topics that need to be held apart here:

1) Limiting number of children in rich countries. This is what your links talk about I think. Yes, perhaps there is a taboo in place here.

Is that relevant to sustainability crisis though? Population is already declining in rich countries, quite naturally.

2) Limiting number of children in poorer countries. Well, as in the article pointed to in a sibling comment, "Richest 1% account for more carbon emissions than poorest 66%"...

So by saying that overpopulation is the root of the crisis -- are you not saying that it may be better that 10 poor people are not born, than for rich people to do minor changes to their lifestyle?

There are cars and motorbikes, and many other things. They have different benefits and costs.

Python is a motorbike. It is small, convenient, nippy, fuel-efficient. It is also terribly unsafe, holds no luggage and no protection from the weather.

Statically-typed languages are cars. Stable, safe, predictable, require a lot of infrequent maintenance, weather-proof. Not convenient in heavy traffic, but hey, you put on the heater seats and the stereo and you don't mind queuing.

Now, I find the effort to add typing to Python like trying to make the motorbike safe. You double the wheels to have a full 4-wheel vehicle, add a roof and windshield... And you end up with something that has th upsides of neither a car nor a motorbike.

Where people find it convenient, sure. But the evangelism of "types everywhere" seems to not get it.

Canada has roughly 40 million inhabitants, Scandinavia (if you include Finland) less than 30 million.
