Research by and on whom?

I don't doubt in the slightest that fancy mobile-y design styles look nice and are often intuitive at T=0, but we've lost a lot of throughput and information density by going for them as an industry.

It's the same as trying to write code on a phone, but backwards
I ran Dr. Daniel Soper's sentiment analyzer over the entire text, which yielded -64 on a scale of -100 to 100, where -100 is as negative as possible.

The sentence was selected from the concluding paragraph that's doing its usual job of summarizing a viewpoint.

The interesting thing about this article, after all, is that it starts out sounding like a memorial and ends as an indictment of a person's character.
It’s not even remotely the same, it’s nearly 50% higher than the US (which isn’t doing that great either).

South Korea has the 10th highest suicide rate in the world.
Slightly related: I'm on a trip visiting many maya ruins, and I find it fascinating that they were really good at astronomy, their buildings are off by around 1 degree. Tectonic plates moved? What am I missing?!
Oh no, not threatening politicians. Oh deary me.

Wow, wtf. The music industry really is a disease.

How can a license to use a song in a game lead to the game not being sold any more.

Why would you ever use such a song in a game…
Exactly my point. The way the vast majority of rewrites happen.
look no further than the recent border bill that got the "no not like that, it wasn't supposed to work". Now they have to answer for it in november, a major piece of legislation in their favor and they left it on the floor because the maniac running the party has hurt feelings on not being included.
Just my experience - but I think a large piece of this has to do with many of us join “social media” or a forum. We get excited at first to be able to see our current and new friends, it’s this feeling of opening a massive conduit to see the people you know and like / feel a sense of belonging. Facebook started as a college app - college is probably when some people are the most social. But after a long time, friends drift, I have so many people on social media that I haven’t actually had a conversation with in years but still see their updates. I feel like my addiction is rooted in the desire to connect with people, to see friends. There isn’t a physical place that makes sense to do so to get the same thing (bar, church, common room, whatever) so I go on social media to see those people, then realize I don’t have anything to message them over because it’s been years, and doom scroll. Engagement converted.

I see your point about the “romanticised version of themselves” and that’s what comes up for me - curious if anyone else feels the same.
> Russia annexed those regions when it became the best way to protect the people there, after the collapse of negotiations.

Taking into account the daily terror raids conducted with artillery and missiles on towns and villages of annexed parts of Ukraine like Kherson, I don't think you'll find many suckers who'll fall for that excuse.

If Russian government feels strongly about protecting people, particularly ethnic Russians, they could start by ordering the police not to beat and molest peaceful protesters on the Red Square anymore.
I am not an Linux expert by any stretch but I also used quite a few distributions (though very few in anger i.e. actively for long periods of time).

To me Arch and its derivatives (e.g. Manjaro and EndeavourOS) and Void Linux are the best nowadays.
I was executive sponsor of Rust, which Graydon Hoare was doing as a personal project while working with me on ES4. Rob Sayre, JS team manager, agreed Rust should be an official project, so Graydon went full time on Rust at Mozilla. This was in 2008.

Later, others notably Niko Matsakis and Patrick Walton (apologies for leaving yet other folks’ names out) took Rust to 1.0.

Mitchell didn’t know what Rust was until I explained it, wasn’t CEO when we made it an official project, but was CEO for this:

Nic was tutoring me in proof-based foundational maths when I worked as a research engineer and I have nothing but praise for him and his tutoring service. He created a hyper personalized syllabus and was able to focus in on the areas in which my understanding was shaky incredibly quickly. I only studied very foundational concepts with him, but you can glean from the articles on his website how far and wide his knowledge extends.

It feels very rare that someone with his level of intellectual depth is this interested in teaching others.

(Hi Nic! \o/)
Hah. I knew this would happen. The Flipper is basically marketed as a hacking tool.
Great answer, and from others too, thank you all.
As with most PR speak, it (on paper) makes it sound better. "Sunsetting" a service brings to mind these things: beauty, a gentle and gradual fade out, and the inevitability of natural phenomenon. Contrast with "shutting down" a service: a cold, calculated, and abrupt decision by a corporation.

I don't think most people actually feel that companies owe it to anyone to keep services up long past their economic feasibility, but maybe somehow someone important felt some definition of bad about the language behind a shutdown announcement and came up with the term.
A few months ago they removed thousands of episodes of Discovery Channel content without making anyone whole. They got away with it then and they'll get away with it this time. The only way to "own" your shows is to buy the physical media or pirate it.
This is all pretty nice but it seems like changing the default iteration character will cause you heartburn. The other items seem like a great idea and could save you some headscratching.
Good point about the adaptivity. Yeah the omission of any examples with themes really shows the silo’d nature of Microsoft, and makes it look like the whole project was low effort and built by people who aren’t even designers and were just building to some abstract spec. If Microsoft really valued design they would build complete UI frameworks including visual style and then hand them to the respective teams (more wood behind fewer arrows), rather than making it a shared effort where no one team has made informed decisions about the whole thing end-to-end. I’m a bit spoiled right now because I’m deep in Apple’s HIG and it’s just on an entirely different plane of competence and thoughtfulness, whereas this looks like the little leagues.
To segment your customer base, like any company that offers "basic" and "premium" versions of basically the same thing. In this case, you get some people who walk in, order whatever is on the menu in front of them, then are maybe slightly annoyed by the price but will take out their wallet anyway. On the other side, you have people who are willing to put in a little effort to find the coupons, and buy the more basic menu items and buy the McChicken instead of the McCrispy Chicken Deluxe.

My dark dirty secret, as someone who frequents fast food restaurants, is that McDonalds is... actually not that bad, even good, and at the least it is very consistent and good value (if you use the deals, sometimes even without) and the people who think it's disgusting are just engaging in a little classism and can go home and watch Super Size Me again.
>For a static page it doesn't make sense to use React, obviously

JSX is a nice templating language. And when you use Deno or Bun you can use it directly on server-side. My server-side components have no hooks and use preact-render-to-string or `renderToString()` from `react-dom/server`.

Also there is Gatsby which is a popular content management system which also allow non-interactive statically rendered pages (as far as I remember).
I can't speak for Tyler (the author) but as someone who's worked with him and managed him for over 2 years, I'd say take Tyler at his word versus assigning malice to his writing.

He's a powerhouse of a developer, loves, LOVES the ecosystem and has always wanted to give back as much as he could. He's submitted patches to the core, he did so much for our Elixir CI and felt bad not giving it back via open-sourcing it and then blogging on our platform.

Tyler was instrumental in many of our technical decisions at our company, and I can confidently say nothing he made us buy was unnecessary, and he often worked very hard to save us the smallest bit of money.

Just my 2 cents!
If we had actually supported legal torrents we could have paid for link access, legally owned the contents of the torrents, and never ever had to worry about the files disappearing. We would have just paid for some encryption key from a distributed DRM service and there would have been none of this licensing nonsense.

Because OpenAI has such a great track record of never having anything nutty happen as a direct result of a bizarre governance structure.
There’s only three federal police agencies - the RCMP, CPKC Police Service, and the CN Police Service. The local law enforcement has to pass off the information to the relevant agency to abide by the separations of power.

The problem here is probably the criminal lied about what was in the cargo container, and to process the tens of thousands of titles to ship new vehicles to manufacturers is obscene - and even then, criminals will still find ways to transport cars in shipping containers.

At the end of the day, it’s up to the ports (which again are a federal agency) to scrutinize cargo containers destined for these locations - which they don’t have the staffing or funds to do.
I retired a few years ago and I'm as busy as ever. It's like a prolonged weekend: there are far more things I'd like to do than time to do them.

The best part, however, is that I can suck at everything. When I had a job I felt a ton of responsibility to meet a high standard in everything I was paid to do, but now I can afford being an absolutely moronic beginner at everything I attempt, because ultimately it doesn't matter. It's liberating.
> Not professional, not an option for some calls.

Callers can't (well, shouldn't) expect to be able to reach you immediately by calling you. There's a lot of valid reasons to not answer your phone. You might be driving, you might be in the bathroom, you might be getting lunch in a noisy place, you might be in the middle of a different important conversation, etc.

At which point the caller needs to realize that the "professional" thing to do is leave a message if they want to be called back. (Or try calling again later.) Because there's enough junk calls that expecting people to call back every missed call that didn't leave a message is just unreasonable.

Better programming languages = better software = value / "money".

I use Manjaro for years with zero issues, though for context I have to say that I make it a goal to always update it at least once a week because rolling release distros can be fickle if you upgrade them rarely.

And never once had a problem.
It actually is quite suitable for static pages where the content itself is quite dynamic (e.g. from a CMS or other database), especially when rendering repetitive data structures (e.g. lists of items). You use React on the server to render the contents on the fly as static html and serve that.

>> The notion that you might heat a house with electricity or by setting trees or dinosaurs on fire is so foreign to Icelanders

I'm sorry but this is hyperbole. I just spent nearly a week staying in a house *in Iceland* that was heated with wood and diesel fuel. Granted, it's an old house, built about 100 years ago, but it's hardly a foreign concept.
We’ll see that’s the rub. Isn’t it? Should someone be able to create a band called Meditation Playlist? Is it fraud? Is it just unethical? Is it neither? It requires human judgment where that line is.
Is paying money to go into Disney that goes out of its way to avoid taxes really «going back into the economy?»."

Yes, absolutely! Even without considering the tax contributions, the mentioned money are already circulating (one step further). Disney is acting as a service provider to the public and also a channel for the money towards their employees, suppliers, 3rd party service providers, and whatnot.
For a database. Absolutely.
It's segmentation in places it never used to exist. A queue was a queue and the idea that you'd allow somebody to bribe their way to the front would have been terminally unfashionable.

Yes, it's just the free market, once again highlighting the blossoming wealth divide. There are few ways this doesn't end in rebellion.
Interesting. I don’t like the name at all because it makes me think of people who take horoscopes seriously. You’re impression seems to be untainted by that which is nice
I don't feel strongly about "activism" being inherently good or bad (and don't agree with all of the outcomes in those cases) but I think your reasoning isn't great. For example:

> In banning Biden's student relief they ignored the text of the law and legislated from the bench just saying that it was unfair because the size was too "significant". Activism.

I think the majority opinion explains this quite clearly:
> The HEROES Act, Roberts emphasized, gives the secretary of education the power to “waive or modify” laws and regulations governing the student-loan programs. Congress’s use of the word “modify” means that the Biden administration can make “modest adjustments and additions to existing provisions,” Roberts wrote, “not transform them.” But the debt-relief program, Roberts stressed, instead “created a novel and fundamentally different loan forgiveness program.” The plan “modifies” student-loan laws and regulations, Roberts suggested, “only in the same sense that the French Revolution ‘modified’ the status of the French nobility — it has abolished them and supplanted them with a new regime entirely.”

It's amazing how much developer time is wasted writing components. I have to imagine that these jobs are at risk of being disrupted by AI though. If AIs can create designs, then they should also be able to convert design specifications into mostly-complete components. Expect the tech to exist by 2025 and disruption to component developer employment within a couple years.
> if a company finds out I'm making rips of streams

Vanishingly few people are themselves ripping streams thanks to Widevine. They are just torrenting stuff.

BTW only the first "level" of widevine has been cracked as far as I can find, which is limited to lower quality streams.
> At the end of the day, it’s up to the ports (which again are a federal agency) to scrutinize cargo containers destined for these locations - which they don’t have the staffing or funds to do.

And now they'll be stretched further inspecting incoming shipments for flipper zeros.
> I figure that that's not going to be as useful for any training purposes

Um what? Why? It's just as much a sample of your voice, and if it's what you usually say on the phone then a recording of it will... sound like it's you on the phone.
True, but they're not a new developer, so maybe he's just saying what everyone thinks.

Especially for a AAA release, licensing music seems like little to be gained.

Music games (eg Rockband), I can understand. People want to play music they know. There are very few musical tie-ins in a video game that seemingly make the difference.
They kind of didn't name their OK Google assistant anything other than "Assistant". What about ChatGooglePT?
I was just thinking of Star Frontiers; something about the typography reminds me of that.

Very nice.
> Yes, perception has a correlation with reality.

Ope.. getting hung up on the statement "perception has a correlation with reality." Reality is the way things are, and perception is quintessentially subjective. It is not guaranteed that perception correlates with reality - just spend 10 minutes with my family for this lesson.

I argue the difference between school districts in the US is not perception, as it is not subjective - it is fact. It is reality. This is something that has been so extensively studied I wish all of us could accept it as fact.

Sorry to get hung up on a word. I find that people making these decisions aren't typically doing it from a subjective place -- they're making data-driven decisions to maximize their child's opportunities.

Sorry to be pedantic... cheers!
Multinational firm loses HK$200M after scammers stage deepfake video meeting
I am not the creator but I am a robotics engineer. The robot in your link is an industrial robot with a lot of strength behind it. The robot in this project is comparatively lightweight, with thin 3D printed construction and very small motors with little to no gear reduction on the drive joints. Based on how this robot is constructed I would say it is incapable of breaking any bones on a human. In the business we call this "inherently safe", meaning it can't meaningfully hurt a person even if it malfunctions.

Put simply, the robot that hurt the child was a very strong industrial robot, this robot in contrast looks just strong enough to move chess pieces and not strong enough to hurt a person.
I love the top comment, they point out if the currency is fictional there should be no problem with mods to add currency. "But we lose our money then!" - they cry...thought it wasn't money though, lol.
Did the parent comment get updated? It doesn't track to what you've put here.
For this purpose, when you say 'best case'/'average case'/'worst case', those are three different functions. Or normally/in general we'd talk about worst case.
If the trolley problem involved 1 human and like 50 cats I'd probably save the cats.

Not to say animals are more important than humans but I imagine for most people it'd depend on the scale. Same reason most people are uncomfortable with the suffering of millions of animals for the sake of cosmetics.
Uber Eats advert criticised for peanut allergy joke
> React was meant to be a way to provide snappy page loads and UX.

This is a very common misconception. React was meant to provide one-way data flow. With an app built directly on the DOM you have to deal with the DOM having its own state to manage on top of the state your own code is storing. You have a list of comments in a variable, and a list of DOM elements for each comment, and nothing but your own code is making sure they stay in sync with each other. React changed things so that the state of the DOM is always derived from your own app's state, which eliminates what turned out to be a pretty tedious and error-prone amount of work in complex web apps.

It wasn't the first to provide this but its API was unique and compelling vs existing alternatives. The virtual DOM, server-side rendering, etc. are not things that make React faster than non-React code, they are things that counteract the inherent slowness in React's design to make it competitive with non-React code.

Watch the original JSConf talk where React was publicly announced and released, and notice how the talk is mostly about the one-way data binding, and the virtual DOM/reconciliation are mentioned in the back half as ways React catches up to non-React app speeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW0rj4sNH2w
> as a relative newbie to web dev (with limited time and focus), is Next.js my way to go?

Obviously "it depends (TM)" on a bunch of things but for most of those things, Next.js is a safe bet, sure.

It's a (the?) leader in the React framework space and the ecosystem reflects that (e.g. most problems or decisions a newbie would run into is likely to have a trove of docs/blogs/tutorials/ect. available to get past them quickly, plenty of options for hosting, marketable as a skill if that's what you're into, fine DevEx all things considered, it'll likely be around for quite some time even if vercel shuts down tomorrow.) The same is true for React.

I'd personally go with Remix though :)

I think it's because you agree with Baker's positions that you're more willing to not see her statements as in poor taste.

On the other side where I am, it is a bitch slap and a half.

It is very clear to me that Baker actively detests Markham even past his death. That's fine. I also detest people that are long dead. But this blog post is not really something that I would call "good", it truly reads to me as a very bitter person goading about, not a final ribbing between friends.

Don't treat something like this as 'remarkable', that's dulling the word.
Only person I know to try to actually sit down and draw civilization borders was Huntington and put the Orthodox on a separate but linked civilization to the Western world, but even he admitted that's arguable.

I have to agree that with the introduction of React 18, and the new versions of Next and SSR everything has taken a turn for the worse. I’m sure it’s all very fancy and advanced, but it’s become completely impossible to reason about.
Crazy idea: gas powered heat pump. Instead of just burning gas right into a heat exchanger as a furnace does, it burns it in an engine which turns the heat pump compressor. The house receives all of the heat transferred by the pump as well as the exhaust heat.

It's essentially the same thing that would be happening if you had a grid burning natural gas for electricity powering an electric heat pump, only it all happens locally and the exhaust heat is utilized. It's also similar to a "micro combined heat and power" system, with the power going directly into a heat pump.

EDIT: just discovered there's a smarter/simpler way to make a gas-powered heat pump: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/absorption-heat-pumps.
No it hasn't. As I stated, I was only reacting to his "not that easy to find Elixir devs for a startup" is all.
Only if you pronounce it with a hard G, like in GIF.

No company would do that. What OEM is going to pay for a new, less compatible browser engine written in an unproven language that no one knows? Even if it is safer, that's pretty much the lowest priority for many companies, and safer != unable to exploit.

Companies who want to embed a browser engine into their product use WebKit, which is free, and maintained by multiple other companies, and has been around long enough that it should be compatible with pretty much any website that exists.
so instead of banning insecure cars, we ban the tools to break into them.
