It's really easy to learn how to use a slot machine too. Or dwarf fortress. It's not productive -- it's a hobby at best.

EDIT:

You have extremely low standards for what constitutes a professional tool these days.

You also didn't address my point. split is brain damaged and doesn't work:

+ assertEquals(byte[].class, p.get0().getClass());
+ assertEquals(String.class, p.get1().getClass());

You try to split this hunk and it won't do it. This task is beyond trivial in any non-retarded GUI.

-p makes you more productive because you don't know how to use an electron app or Java app
This is basically how the first releases of fvwm worked :) in fact most early window managers.
Zuckerberg said that companies are no longer shrinking their employee size simply because of overhiring — they're now realizing there can be benefits to being leaner.

While a lot of tech companies were reluctant to make cuts at first, they realized it didn't spell the end, Zuckerberg said.

Translation: They all saw Twitter cut 80% of its staff and yet is still online.
and Letshuoer S12 Pro's absolutely blow everything else away in that space and they only cost about $100. Best value in ear phones, easy.

Well put, very insightful comment /s
Capitalism is about who own and decide what will be produced: the capital owners (it can be the State, like in China). In a free market, the market itself decide what will be produced, as all agents have full, unaltered information.

US libertarians came from individualist anarchists, who basically thought that under capitalism, volontary exchange could not exist, as wage workers could be forced to work by power imbalance created by capitalism.

Even some neo classical liberals (liberalism is the ideology promoting free market) have played with the idea of natural monopolies created by land use. Hence you will see a lot of georgists amongst liberals who really thought about a perfect free market capitalism.

Finally, a good critique of free-market socialism (where every company is employee-owned, with real liability) is that interest groups will still form and lobby the government for advantages, distorting the free market, like the asset owners do currently (hence it cannot work in a representative democracy).

> Recruiters and large firms tend to ask for a Word file.

Again, not my experience at all.

I think if a company didn't accept my PDF CV and asked for a Word file instead, I'd strongly reconsider whether I'm actually interested in working there.
Sure, except that investing in the S&P is just artificially inflating the economy as a whole, whereas my suggestion isn't intended to be "this is my advice for the most profitable use of a government $", it's a suggestion for boosting a small part of the economy to speed up the development / progress of new drugs as a societal benefit.

People who defend the huge profit amounts of pharma companies (which ultimately come from consumers needing healthcare, paying either directly or through insurance) say it's fair because of the huge amount they invest to create the drugs, if the government does most of the investing then they can take most of the profits to subsidise free pills for their population. Seems to me like a more direct benefit (in addition to potential economic benefits of boosting investment levels in a high-exporting industry too) than just the government buying S&P500 index funds.
That's ridiculous. The GPL explicitly allows people to make copies.

What many free software advocates actually want is a world without copyright on software. It's copyright that frames copying as stealing. In a world with copyright, the only way to counter that is copyleft. The fact GPL can also enforce inclusion of source code is a nice side effect of copyleft. But ultimately what we want is a world where software is shared, treated as knowledge and not as a product.

MIT style licences are just not good enough. That software could still end up in some copyright protected proprietary product one day and then, yes, someone could accuse me of "stealing" their property, which contains our software.
Only 5bn events per day? That’s not a lot.
I have a feeling a lot of the lessons you learned could also apply to developers who want to be better at freelancing (my case). But I don't know if there is a way to pass down that knowledge while you also get something out of it.

For what is worth, I appreciated your comments in this thread.
May I ask for a hint about where your friend's abused child is located in the world? Also, what data was provided, did the 7 year old have to read the whole IPCC report?
> We conclude that being bullied in childhood creates a lifetime of misery.

Playing devil's advocate here in case someone has a clearer causation-not-correlation story: what could we look at to determine whether bullying causes a lifetime of misery, or whether 7 and 11 year old bullies are deliberately picking on those they think are just beginning their lifetimes of misery?

Less than 2 teases per hour! I wish some juvenile homo sapiens I know were that well behaved.
Managing comments is one thing I really appreciate AI helping me with in cursor.so, I can ask it to strip all the comments to get a dense code view, make some changes, then re-comment it, with the verbosity aligned with my level of understanding.
In the absence of any regulation, if a company's objective is to maximise profits, and it acts as a rational actor solely focused on achieving that objective, joining cartels, and creating barriers for entry is the end state of the market for nearly all starting conditions.

It is worth noting that a significant portion of the D in R&D is money spent on direct to consumer advertising. This only happens in the USA, as I believe that it is not legal elsewhere.

For other readers: disregard the FUD above regarding running and exercising. Exercising generally curbs hunger, boosts mood and helps solidify adherence to good eating habits. It won't fuck up your joints if you very gradually increase your total exercising volume. For instance, start alternatively walking and running for half an hour three times a week (never getting winded in the process, stop running and start walking every time you start breathing hard), and from there add ten minutes of exercise per week. You'll do fine.
> Well, for some reason Kagi seems to expect the bang to be added at the end, separated by a space, with exclamation mark after (not before). If you don’t do it just right, you’ll just be on Kagi, losing 5+ seconds and your train of thought.

What?.. bangs work both at the beginning and end of the query, and the exclamation mark has to be put before the bang.
> I do have good news for fans of coercive government regulation. Apple’s hand was effectively forced. But by China, not the EU.

I am a fan of coercive government regulation, and this is good news.

China has made several smart regulations in this area, and when the EU, China and others align it blunts the kind of insanity that lets Americans type sentences like "coercive government regulation" with zero irony.

Just watched a video about right-to-repair and the Indian representative said global supply chains require the whole world to be on the same page, which can be tricky, but since the EU had set a deadline, they set an "EU plus 6 months" deadline to harmonise.
Just as a point of reference, if you bought 100K in Pfizer stock 25 years ago, it would now be worth about 100K. Adjusted for inflation, you would have lost about 50% of it’s value.

Not what I would call ‘incredibly profitable’. And they are one of the biggest.
There’s only two scaling factors macOS can display at: 1x or 2x.

Anything in-between is rendering at a larger resolution and scaling it back down for the display, resulting in a non-pixel-perfect image.

Your shop Mac is rendering the UI at 5120 × 2880, then squishing that down for the Acer display. Which, apart from being more graphically demanding, ends up blurry and aliased.

What Windows does is actually just changing the pixel dimensions of the UI elements (in steps of 10% I think?), which Apple has never done.
I have fixed a bug caused by this feature not being random enough.
What keyboard controls have been removed from Office?
Yes, the relationship between "Hyrum's Law" and having a terrible documentation culture is strong.

The important part of the "Law" is the bit where it says "it does not matter what you promise in the contract".

That's definitely going to be true in a place where neither writing nor reading documentation is taken seriously (and one of the main things this site teaches us is that Google is such a place).
Humans don't have bugs. they may have disease, or mental troubles, but we're pretty good at assessing them. Thanks in part to their ability to communicate.
Fair point - I thought of that after I made the above comment (which obviously started with winter scarcity) but river delta flooding is another good example of literal flood | famine food availabilty.

And, as you note, an original challenge that predates human advance into the northern environments as glaciers retreated.

The great OG mathematical challenge for humans was the "fair" recurrent remarking of land plots following a flood - how to survey land area, and how to plan for and account for food surplus to last over food scarcity.
The problem is that it's a neverending treadmill of naming if you do that. Every good idea will be taken over by fraudsters. A lot of good ideas are already tainted by this, and while you have to pick your battles, there's something to be said for standing your ground on naming.
As a child I was wholly educated in the certainty that my life was in imminent danger of a nuclear Armageddon... Maybe your "honest with children" about climate change is a hint that they're more likely to have to deal with nuclear winter than anything.

Hence: the best preparation is wide skills and can-do attitude, not ruminations on clueless adults' "honesty"?

What do you think?
That's right, the GPL and other copyleft licences in fact aim to disable copyright, this restoring us back to how things should be with no copyright.
The same government that can't come up with sensible policies to regulate big pharma and gets played by all kinds of lobbyists suddenly is going to figure out how to develop drugs more efficiently than the industry does?
The biggest pain is the people. You'd be surprised how childish grown ups can be. FFS just be adults and get along. 80% of my stress as a manager is basically solving playground squabbles between people old enough and experienced enough to know better.

Then of course the other 20% of the stress are your reports actively trying to undermine you, or publicly question your purpose/existence, or cut you out of decision making processes, going behind your back and contradicting previous agreements, trying to short-circuit or subvert agreed processes etc etc for above childish reasons.

Turns out that a lot of "professionals" are not professional at all and are actually pretty petty, spiteful, grudge-holding argumentative children who go into a strop (or as the article puts it "go lay on the grass thinking about their project") for a day or 5 if they don't get their way.

The rest of being a manager is a breeze though! 10/10 would buy again etc :)
Interesting ratios between transactions and events: numbers in the article suggest perhaps 50 million transactions a day which correspond to five billion events. So 100 events per transaction on average, which gives some idea of the complexity involved.

It’s a professional tool not a hobby, I don’t understand the analogy. Learning to use -p makes you more productive.
Since some years? I don't think so. wp-fractional-scale-v1 was merged only like 1 year ago. The only more recent version of Qt5 is 5.15 and on the release notes I don't see any Wayland changes.. Any reference you have for that?
Like a country with human rights is more restricted because it doesn't allow you to enslave anyone.
So what device do you recommend for pico-8?
Yes. For some, according to the studies I've seen it's no magic cure that works for everyone, just as I said.

Plus there is an obvious issue of people putting their self esteem focus on something else they have little actual control about. That's not a sustainable solution on its own.
That's where the second half of my comment comes in. I am positing that if LLMs are able to increase the output of developers, the demand for software will increase along with it. The economic term for this is induced demand, and the classic example is roads, when you build more of them the number of cars on the road increases because there were people who used to stay home or take other modes of transportation, and now they drive because there are more and less congested roads. It's not what most regular people believe but it's also not my idea, it's the basis of a ton of tech investor successes.

I think we are in that position with software. Increase the supply of programmer output, virtual or not, and the demand for it goes up, because there's a lot of demand on the sidelines today (like maybe programmer output is too expensive for them now and LLM tooling makes each unit of output cheaper, which in turn makes new customers appear).

Again Marc Andreessen to name just one guy who wrote a famous essay about it has made billions of dollars in large part by betting on this phenomenon which most people don't understand or believe in.

If you look at things from the perspective of the job that you have today, depend upon and which might go away, yeah a job is a fragile thing so it's easy to get scared. But if you look at it from the perspective of there being these guys who keep betting on the idea that software demand will increase and then reality has proven them right and made them rich, this idea of software jobs disappearing is less scary.
We have thought about it. We are already taking about hundreds of years for plastic to degrade and even then, it’s to microplastics that are just as harmful to biological life.

So if “bags for life”, as the heavier bags are often referred to, means fewer plastic bags are made and thus thrown away, then that’s still a net positive.

Because the time scales we are talking about are massive, what’s matters more is reuse.

If fact, that’s a key factor to consider regardless of the material you’re trying to conserve. Reuse is far more important than recycling.
are you sure? usually this is counted as marketing costs.
This is my experience as well. The problem is that persisting "but what _shall_ it do?" on a low level is seen as redundant, as long as everything works. Typically forgotten edge cases are detected elsewhere. The metric _that_ you ran past those code lines says nothing about that you came there for the right reason.
I almost returned mine for that exact reason until I used it in bed before going to sleep. I have never fallen asleep faster. I know it sounds really strange that a computer strapped to my face helps me sleep but I guess something about the whole immersive environment really helps. I also don’t feel the pressure on my head when I’m lying down.
Because those researchers could be shareholders of whichever biomedical startup they will create instead of a non-profit.
I have experienced all the bug you mentioned but special mention to the Apple Music bug.

I fixed it: I switched to Spotify.

I support your decision to switch to some other manufacturers; I'm doing just that as well. Apple is making way too much money to care and it will get much worse before it gets better, at current prices it is just not acceptable.

I’d say there are two common patterns for implementing behaviours like transition animations in declarative UIs.

The platform and/or the engine that is doing the rendering of your declarative UI might provide facilities to describe animations declaratively as well. In web development, we have some support for animations in CSS. It’s also fairly common, if you use a component-based rendering library like React or Vue, to see some kind of Transition component, which typically wraps the UI components that should change during the animation and specifies the required transition behaviour via its properties.

More generally, application states can be part of the “state” that your UI derives from. The linked post gives several examples of this, but a very common one in web apps is having a loading flag when content has been requested from some remote source and isn’t yet available. Whatever code you use to fetch that content also sets the loading flag in the meantime. Then the declarative UI code just needs to check the flag and render whatever spinner or other effect it wants to show during that time.

The same idea can be used to implement general transitions/animations. Your state can include something like an “is opening” flag, to indicate that a transition is in progress, and for effects that need to vary over time, also something like a time index or percentage complete. The code responsible for the transition behaviour then sets the flag and starts/updates the timer throughout the transition period. On the rendering side, the declarative UI just needs to check if the flag is set, and if so, render the required effect for the current point in the transition.

The key point in this second pattern is that some part of your code that isn’t the main declarative UI is responsible for defining this behaviour via the application state. Then the UI rendering code just takes that extra information into account like any other part of the state.

I think the problem in your deletion example is that you had competing representations of what was happening in your system. Apparently you had code that was doing the actual deletion and updating that part of the state immediately, but independently you also had CSS doing the animation, so the visible effects in the UI weren’t synchronised. As you said, you can handle that by making sure the old state you need to render the UI until the animation has finished is preserved somewhere and used for rendering during that time. Maybe that means making a temporary copy and using that for rendering until the animation is done, or for a quick animation, maybe a pragmatic choice is to defer triggering the actual deletion behaviour until the end of the animation.
I sense some irony in spending extra time on commute only to put a headset that hides all the surroundings of the open office from you and immerses you in a virtual environment.

That is not meddling that is informing your foreign partners about your official position. And, shockingly, friendly government are treated different than hostile ones.
LOL since when is Australia seen as "high-trust, harmonious adult society"? It is very USA-like in many ways. And the nordics are hardly any different to anywhere else in Europe in that regard.
Here's a link to that talk and mentioning of the 50.3%: https://youtu.be/ncHmEUmJZf4?t=2610

Please read my section about peak power again. Their no mention of prices :)

The main concern about peak power is related to the grid stability (risk of blackout) and not correlated to price.

I hear this point as a counter argument to “never decrease coverage helps maintain quality”.

It is technically correct. But, it is only meaningful if you assume a bad actor in the team who knowingly games the system, and a team who tolerates it.

At that point, your problem has nothing to to with code quality, nor is coverage meant to be a solution for it.
