Climate change will eventually cause us great problems but only if we survive long enough for that to happen. We are creating a toxic world. Chemicals, plastic, pollution, etc. will eventually do us great harm. There is no chance of mitigating this because profits are to be made.

This is a fascinating analysis, but it doesn't mention the magnetosphere. I'm an amateur, but my understanding is that tidal locking means effectively no rotation with respect to the aspect of the solar wind. No rotation means no coriolis. No coriolis means no dynamo. No dynamo means no magnetic field to protect the planet. No magnetic field means the solar wind will strip the atmosphere, no?
What is code in a text editor if not a legible 2D planar representation of the "real code"?
The real difference between text and a graph of definition-use edges and nodes is that the text representation does not have any intrinsic information on the real code's structure and does not display definition-use edges - at least by default. Most code editors provide some way (via LSP/etc) to display the edges however - usually as a list of the other end of the edge in a dialog/window/similar separate from the code.
Given that some textual representation (e.g. variable names) of source and target is possible, a graph-displaying editor can just "abbreviate" an edge (or: make it implicit) by using the other end of the edge.
If a graph editor makes all edges implicit by a certain strategy of using names/whitespace/parentheses/etc, the result would be a text representation a text editor displays.
The main issue is not in difference of display, but in the mode of editing: a text editor allows much more partial input that violates the structure a graph is expected to have: malformed definitions of programming constructs that are neither a node nor an edge in the graph. A graph editor must either allow such partial input in some way (e.g. enter temporary textual representation, transform into group) or use a different input model that doesn't allow such unrepresentable input, e.g. using mostly mouse, or an editing keyboard language like Vim's objects & verbs.
On the other hand a text editor requires you to agree on a formatting style with your colleagues and running autoformatters, looking past useless formatty diffs in code review, fixing syntax errors, dangling else,...
On the other hand, having the sun as a fixed point seems like it could make it much easier, presumably navigation would be based around that.
I personally also find the idea far fetched, but it seems to come up a lot, so I wanted to address it as one of the many issues with existing precedent and institutions with a clear mandate around that particular case.

Hence why I wrote "the Israeli program in the 90s".

It's significantly less egregious nowadays (imo de facto non-existent due to how integrated the Israeli innovation system is with the American system now and how simplified FDI is in Israel compared to the 80s-90s)

Internet based news wasn't really a thing until the post-Netscape era.

All you're stuck with are archives of print news or government articles, especially because this kind of behavior largely ended by the 2000s.

No problem! And like I mentioned before, most countries do this in some form to help domestic champions (eg. India and Pharma IP, France and Defense IP, socialist era Israel and Defense IP, 1970s-80s Japan and electronics IP, China and Defense+Software IP).

If a country allows almost 100% FDI, there's no reason for industrial espionage in that specific sector because foreign champions become integrated with domestic ones. Hence why Israeli and Indian companies don't steal hardware designs anymore because most Americans companies have design centers there that are closely integrated with domestic champions.
This is a very good observations — and by extension why we aren’t noticing that people are leaving.

Yeah the Reds are really nice, but I (a consumer) haven't been able to tell the difference between what a RED can do and what, say, a $7k SLR type camera could do, film-wise.

So honestly not sure if there is a market of people who can tell a difference between those AND people that are looking to cut costs on the camera because their film crew's time would be much more expensive.

"Following 257 patients for 34 months, the researchers found nearly 60 percent of them had measurable amounts of polyethylene in plaques pulled from their fat-thickened arteries, and 12 percent also had polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in extracted fat deposits.

Fancy seeing this here, some days after finishing the third version :)

I'm also glad to see the asynchronous programming chapter significantly reworked - it was materially weaker than the rest of the book because of some weird analogies involving crows and their nests that didn't seem to make any sort of sense to me.

The third edition also gave me the impression that it was a reasonable book to learn JS and the DOM (and a sprinkle of Node.js, for good measure), but that it was a book aimed primarily at experienced people who were transitioning to JS and the web - not beginners (despite the book's efforts at claiming suitability for beginner programmers).
How Tech corporations subvert the EU's new digital laws

This was the approach one of my first mentors recommended and it's served me well. Learn the core language and its features and then add tools/frameworks as needed. Lately it feels like we're teaching new devs popular frameworks and completely ignoring the fundamentals.

Exactly. Teams that are mature enough to use data branching in development likely already have a schema migration tool that handles the merge safely with all the necessary controls.

That’s not an explanation. It’s a restatement of what the great filter is trying to explain.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. However, just to be completely clear, AT-SPI2 is not X11 specific (according to the Freedesktop page about it[1]) so at the very least, just like with input methods, the existing accessibility tools should be possible to get working. Admittedly, I haven't tried at all, and I'm sure there are still problems getting it to work in practice. I think the best short-term option would be for desktop environments to try to get AT-SPI2 to work as it does in their X sessions.

That said, I am really hoping that GNOME Foundation donation from the Sovereign Tech Fund comes to the rescue here. I was very happy when I read the whitepaper[2] for the accessibility protocol that was being worked on, as it looks like it is being designed with the right priorities to build real and robust accessibility technology. These technologies aren't just great for accessibility but also for automation, and I think that putting them into Wayland protocols (as opposed to off to the side like what is being done with libei) is the right way to go.

You could say the same thing about variables, expressions, statements, and structured programming. It's a lot higher level than assembly language or machine code programming.

"binding" is a PLT term, denoting the association between a name and a value.

It's a higher level concept than the variable - a mutable binding is what people usually refer to as a variable, and an immutable binding is the correct term for what people refer to an "immutable variable" (an oxymoron, if you think about it).

Font rendering in GTK 3 was pretty good, then they broke it in GTK 4, and even with new renderers fonts are not up to par with good old GTK 3.

Single-celled organisms are pretty intelligent, and they have zero neurons.

The quiet, pervasive devaluation of front end
If the planet had a decent magnetic field, it might actually be quite easy to navigate. A sextant would get you "solar latitude" as it were (the angle of the sun relative to the horizon defines a circle), and coupled with magnetic orientation I think that would narrow it down to one of four points on the day side of the planet (where the field lines have a given angle with the radius of the previously defined circle). Given even crude object permanence I think that should fix your position pretty well.

An IETF standard is only one of the ways to get an entry into the IANA registry.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8615#section-3.1

> Well-known URIs can be registered by third parties (including the expert(s)), if the expert(s) determine that an unregistered well-known URI is widely deployed and not likely to be registered in a timely manner otherwise. Such registrations still are subject to the requirements defined, including the need to reference a specification.

So if some non-IETF protocol starts using a .well-known path, it can get added to the IANA registry even if the protocol authors themselves don’t register it.
measurable amounts

Note however that chemists have gotten incredibly good at detecting tiny amounts of things, so an amount being "measurable" in no way implies that it is clinically significant.
Interesting approach to load the model direct. But no explanation on the video or on the company page[1] about the processing units itself. The numbers from the page (2.3x faster, 1/2 the power) are plausible for top notch FPGAs.

> How will it look in 5 years when green stuff starts to grow in those horizontal grooves?

That's a great idea. Why wait 5 years instead of seeding it with vegetation now, even algae?

It will be greener, as not only in colour, but also absorbing more CO2. The concrete itself absorbs CO2 as it hardens. Also if they plant some treens around it and it's virtually part of the landscape. I really like the low visual aspect and the organic, non aggresive shapes. It's also not overly organic.
Totally fair, I guess I was hoping it would be like servers.

New servers are also super expensive, and don't directly market to consumer, but their used value is basically nothing. You can buy a used server on eBay, even with relatively nice specs for a consumer, for less than a grand, often substantially less than a grand (mine was $150 for 128gb of RAM and 24 cores).

It doesn't appear that pro-grade cameras fall the same way though.
To be fair I would think a story about a huge corporate exec talking to stuffy congress would be the exact opposite of hacker news. Hackers don’t care about policy or stiffs in suits. Post open source software and projects involving actual hacking instead.

You need a model that is not financed through extortion. By granting a small part of the population rights and duties that would be criminal for anyone else to perform (do you even have a right to extort, kidnap, and murder?), you are playing people against each other and perpetuating a struggle for control of the government to act on their behalf, at the expense of everyone else.

governance ≠ government

As long as extortion is involved, the various organs have no incentive to improve, and further more succumb to mission creep (1) to justify and expand their budget, necessitating further extortion.
