To be fair, how many developers are even writing GTK applications anymore? How many GUI apps are even using these native GUI frameworks?

If you aren't developing a DAW, a browser, or some other performance critical GUI app, you're moving to Electron and other layout engine solutions. And who should blame you, people don't want to fiddle with GTK_Window_Context_Handler* gtk_wdw_ctx_hdlr_ptr = Init_GTK_Window_Context_Handler(Window_Context* w_ctx); just to make a damn app.

Even if Vala drops in to save us all from noodling with Window Context Rocket Ship Handlers, layout engines are more portable solutions. The decline of WPF and Winforms is proof of this.
In the same vein some claim that miners were more socialist and fishermen more religious. Reason being that a miner's output is proportional to how much ore they mine, while a fisherman needs to get lucky to haul in a good catch. This was before industrial fishing. Hard to know if there is any truth to this or if it's all folklore. But perhaps this sort of thinking can explain why developers tend to be hyper-individualists -- most of their work (ie bug-fixing) is caused by other people screwing up.
That's not really the domain of feature flags in their typical use case. That sounds like you would need to deploy multiple versions of the app and switch between them at the load balancer level or something like that.
Wow. @hsuduebc2, you need to edit that headline.
In addition to the other replies, n=3 is also the point at which the system becomes chaotic. AFAIK only a handful stable configurations for three bodies in orbit are known; most initial conditions are difficult (impossible?) to solve for analytically. It is a classic example in chaos theory.

The same you always have? With HTML/CSS. Copy and paste sounds a bit derogatory, but it's pretty much what you're doing. You can also "templatize" things depending on your backend (card partial/template, etc).

What I like about my tech stack (go, tailwind, htmx, alpinejs) is the fact I can work entirely in HTML and Go. It keeps the work very focused and simple.

I render HTML from Go. I style it with Tailwind. If I remove styles from HTML then Tailwind culls the unused styles (I don't need to manage CSS). I use HTMX for some dynamic behavior (active search, lazy loading content/modals/slide overs/product details/etc). I use Alpine for client side state (drop downs, slide overs, toggles, etc).

Yes, it is and should be.

The tone is weird, but I'll be damned if they have three digits of significance to those figures, even at a company as large as Microsoft. The correct thing to say would be that they are statistically indistinguishable.
I can see why this site is a net negative and a distraction from the real site, but how is it malicious? Is it taking users to places to download spyware/viruses? We've had ad farm pages for easily 20 years. I can't get to it now, so I guess the DNS guys took it down, but malicious to me implies that it intends to do harm to one's computer or "person" ? Do I have an antiquated take on the word? Has Gen Z revised the definition? Also, it absolutely shouldn't be on the first 10 pages of a Google search, lol

About 10 years ago my team was using Vala for a production embedded system because it would transpile to C and cross compile to target the ARM platform. It was a lot easier to write a couple hundred lines of Vala than implement a bunch of high level language features in C. The Vala became a few thousand lines of hard to grok C as I recall.
Ok fine. Good point. Maybe what it does instead is manage the PATH variable itself so that it doesn't mess anything up. What do you think?
I created PoC for merging similar system requirements and performing gap analysis between vendor documentation and internal company SOPs and policies.

Everything in Python flask + Azure OpenAI. I am working on moving AI part to Claude Sonet. Seems that results are bit different since GPT model has more rough approach to merging requirements and also less sensitive to finding gaps.

Not disagreeing. Actually, the Republican party these days is capable of gridlocking itself. I've never seen such a high level of dysfunction -- enough so that I suspect we are living in some transition period, although what we are transitioning to I am uncertain. I don't think the current Republican party is stable.

Vala is very much used among other things by Frida.

I have been involved with Vala in it’s early day and some hardcore GObject/C users never quite liked the C code that Vala generated although it was perfectly valid and exposed a very clean C header to interface with it.

I think that Vala is a really great tool for building applications that make use of Glib/GObject. For example Gtk applications, but also GStreamer and DBus applications.

The safest I know of are infrared saunas (red bulb/near infrared is best), and breathing exercises, as well as overall good nutrition and emotional healing to support the body's natural detox pathways.

Clinical practices like intravenous chelation (ETDA etc) or supplements like spirulina, ALA, NAC, vitamin C, cilantro etc are popular and seem appealing from the promises made in their marketing, but they are often ineffective at removing the most deeply-stored toxins, and can do more harm than good by moving some toxins around the body to places where they can do more damage.

In my adult life. I’ve had one flooded house and one burglary. Neither affected my printed photos. The thieves took my computers and tools. My pictures weren’t stored under water pipes…they have never been stored in the kitchen where fire is most likely either.

On the other hand I’ve had many dozens of declined/replaced/expired credit cards. Some have glitched online transactions.

I have also been laid up sick and recovered from surgery. Eventually I will die. Maybe my online accounts will be continuously maintained. Maybe not.

The shoebox of pictures will still be there in the closet even if I stopped thinking about it many years before. And it will be easy for someone to know what it is. A bill for $10/month is the kind of thing executors get rid of.

>doesn’t actually save FLOPs (uses more)

Does anyone even care? Really, who cares? The truth is nobody cares. Saving FLOPs does nothing if you have to load the entire model anyway. Going from two flops per parameter to 0.5 or whatever might sound cool on paper but you're loading those parameters anyway and gained nothing.

Doesn't this ignore the reality on the ground that Clojure is a niche (but wonderful) programming language that offers very few career opportunities? It simply isn't big in any specific domain.

I also don't buy that you see more Clojure the "further you get from silicon valley ..." without some actual (or even anecdotal) data to support that claim.

I'm not saying there are zero instances of Clojure in production systems. But it is hard for me to think that it represents a large number of professional employed software engineers. The 2023 StackOverflow survey show 1.38% out of 67,053 respondents in their "most commonly used programming language" section naming Clojure. That is less than 1,000 developers. The public university I work at graduated 500+ CS undergrads in 2023. I would bet $100 that zero of those got a first job that paid them to write Clojure professionally. I would bet $1000 for less than ten grads. I would bet $50,000 for less than 25.

I'm not trying to be cute but don't you think there are less than 10,000 software engineers in the US (maybe the freaking world) who primarily write Clojure code in their day job?

Because I'm curious, job searches at the company site of your list for 'clojure':

Indeed.com returns 15 jobs posted in the last two weeks (US) for the Clojure keyword. LinkedIn returns 34 job posting in the last month (again, in the US).

I love Clojure - it has always "worked" in my head as a language to solve problems in. I was at the first Clojure/conj. I have deployed production code that I wrote in Clojure. Clojure made me a better developer in other languages.

But in the big picture for professional software engineers, Clojure might as well not exist.
> I can imagine a future where mainstream AI chat and interactions control the mainstream discourse, and guerrilla AIs operate at the fringes, pushing people into even more toxic discourses or - in some cases - acting to deprogram them.

> It's going to make social media quite interesting.

I don't think "interesting" is the right word for that. More like hopeless and depressing.

Anyone with any sense will have no choice but to disengage from public, online interactions (and arguably from any private group that's large enough to be infiltrated). Anyone left in public will be little more than a sheep to be herded. Anything they make will be seen by no one, because it will be a needle in a haystack of AI-driven propaganda and spam, only engaged with by those same bots.

I took one of those cognitive bias quizzes that showed I have racial bias. It was a hard pill to swallow, to have to acknowledge I am empirically a racist and can't change that. (it dealt with reaction times or some such)

But what I can change is my behavior that doesnt involve millisecond reaction times. I can use empirical data to make hiring choices. I can stop using phrases like "culture fit" or making decisions based on intuition of how I feel about someone.

I can do my part to fight cognitive bias by acknowledging it exists and by choosing to do better and make decisions with data, but I can't even trust myself to create the criteria for evaluation without polluting it with my own biases.

I am not sure why I am posting this. Probably because I want to remind myself that growing up in the rural Midwest put ideas in my head that while I reject them rationally, they have polluted deep parts or my brain that form a large part of my intuition-based decisions.

Reading this, I don’t get the sense that it’s exactly the interpretation that the author intended, but I don’t think AI should be invisible at all.

One of the (missing) core ethical tenets of AI integrating with daily life is that the people it is operating on (hey, that’s you and me!) should be aware of what it’s doing and have the ability to participate with that system or not without having to go fully off the grid and live in a cabin somewhere if they don’t want what the latest bigcorp AI wants to do to them.

Arguably this doesn’t mean people get a vote on what it’s doing, only that they can take it or leave it. The author makes reference to considerations for the humans running the system, but not the ones having it run on them. Until that’s figured out, nothing about it should be invisible.

Anxiety is bad for your health. We all need to reach the point of
sceptical fortitude and "intellectual self-defence".

Remember;

The job of the media industry is to convince you you're missing out on
entertainments and knowing the latest trends and news.

The job of the fashion industry is to make you feel scruffy,
under-dressed and out of vogue.

The job of the food industry is to make you feel fat, unhealthy and
lacking proper nourishment.

And so on, and so on...

The job of all so-called "industries" and their attendant advertising
projects is to mount a psychological assault on you, to undermine your
confidence and provoke anxiety.

Once you realise this you can relax, safe in the knowledge that almost
everything written in the press by breathless hype merchants about how
everyone is going to be "left behind" ... is total shite unworthy of
your attention.

The "Job industry" (the multi-billion nexus of education,
certification, recruitment agencies, Linked-In, Glassdoor...) is no
different. It is there to make you feel like an under-skilled, out of
date, useless impostor who - despite two PhDs in STEM subjects - would
be lucky to scrub floors. It's purpose is to psychologically
undermines you in order to drive down wages.
> Most panels will be pointed at suboptimal angles.

I do wonder how electricity pricing plays into this: having panels that are optimized for production in mornings and afternoons will produce less overall, but could provide more valuable power overall.
Lot's of interesting information, but this part seems inaccurate:

"Matrix scan [is in] use in all keyboards today. [...] matrix scan keyboards not only allow for an unlimited number of overlapping keystrokes, but they can correctly identify each and every simultaneously-held key"

I found the hard way that this is not true. Took me a while to figure out why some weird keyboard shortcuts were not working only to find that it's a hardware limitation.

Here's a simple test for your laptop keyboard: try LeftShift+RightShift+Q and see if it prints anything. Repeat with the other letters of the alphabet. In my case I get nothing for several letters such as X, T and M.

My takeaways:

>"This is known as the Walsh matrix. It essentially consists of square waves running at different speeds, although with some complex symmetries thrown in. And yes: every multiplier is just a +1 or a -1, so the computation boils down to flipping some signs in the input data and then summing the results.

The matrix looks fairly trivial, but its design is involved. To capture all frequency and phase information, the rows have increasing sequency — that is, each next row has just one more sign flip than the one before. Further, the pattern is carefully engineered to ensure orthogonality — the fragile input-output symmetry that allows seamless conversions back and forth between the frequency representation and the original time-series data.

[...]

>"Hadamard [Matrices]:

At a glance, the plot looks chaotic, but it’s simply a reordering of the Walsh layout. For example, rows #1 and #8 are swapped; the same goes for #1 and #15. And unlike Walsh, this fractal-esque pattern is actually fairly easy to create from scratch."

I did not know any of this before!

Anyway, an excellent article! (Applications of Walsh & Hadamard Matrices in Physics and in modern technology -- are too numerous to count!)

Its not obvious.

And stop insulting my country.

WE have a long history of nuclear power and the incident in Tschernobyl was a real big WTF moment for us.

My parents were probably young parents and it was not clear at all what the real impact was. The news suggested to clean/wash all vegetables and still TODAY you need to check your hunt for too high radiactive values.

It was NEVER obvious and Fukushima showed again HOW unreliable it can be and how little we know about this.

Am i against Nuclear? No.

But you would never have been able to push for nuclear 20 years ago because it took ages to even get climate change on the proper radar.

I also believe, that at least in germany, we don't need it. It will be easier and cheaper and better to invest A LOT in PV, Wind, Battery and EVs.

Economy of scale, independency, cheap, easy, win-win.

Edit:
PV are just crystals, they should be even cheaper to build than now and with more flexible PVs you can do a lot of interesting and reasonable things. You can use them as fences (there was already a news article about it), you can put them on facades, around light posts, on your balcony, use them as sun shades etc.

Wind became a lot better with no one really talking about it. And wind energy grows quadratically by radius. Big wind mills make A LOT more energy

Batteries will be a game changer. We need them for EVs anway, we use them in laptops and smartphones. In germany we have a very good power grid but in 2th world countries like the USA you have a lot of Grid problems. Add batteries to it. And even in countries like canada you have the 'outback' with grid issues after bad weather.

Alone the batteries for EVs will help a lot of providing necessary buffer capacity.

We tend to forget how big and impactfull our oil consumption actually is. Its a lot easier to have batteries and 'thin' power lines than transporting oil from the ground to refineries to gas stations.

The current situation is not better, its just paid off
DBus is really quite a magical place, I'm sure if you actually dig through how open source projects use it, you'll find that the vast majority of projects don't really interact with most of its features and just do the bare minimum the protocol forces them to declare (object paths vs object class hierarchies, dbus perms vs polkit perms, ...), or they're stuff that sounded like a good idea 20 years ago and hasn't been for 15 (defining its own data serialization layer, incompatible to everything else).
