By “effectively removed” do you mean literally and completely removed? I work in consulting and “effectively” gets used as a weasel word for “not really but you’ll never know the difference”.
There's plenty of stuff in the middle it's just been moved overseas and the output is sent back to the US on a shipping container.

i've never lost work to a wrong git command because i know how to use `git reflog` and `gitk`. it's possible to lose work with git (by not checking it in, `rm -r`g the work tree with the reflog in it, or having a catastrophic hardware failure) but it is rare enough i haven't had it happen yet
Environment shapes emotional cognitive abilities more than genes
I wish I could believe that all this automation would lead to more leisure time for all of humanity, but it certainly won’t happen on its own out of generosity from the robot owners.
Health is literally vital for you as a human. Everyone should be doing daily workouts and maintain a certain level of fitness (which I am guessing most programmers here sharing your point don't) and cooking fresh food regularly (which I am guessing most programmers here sharing your point don't). Do YOU do that?

The reality is that there are things that are beneficial to us that we should all be doing but we don't. Sometimes we get lucky and some of the things we like are things that we should be doing so we get on our high horse and begin preaching without realising that we are literally in the same position as everybody else.
Its interesting how unskilled nature can be and still get away with it (here I guess to the thick fur/skin/fat below).

If humans would jump from such height so badly, many injuries and possibly few deaths would be happening. I've done my fair of jumps in Swiss swimming pools / beaches where 10m jumping board is standard equipment, and even slightly incorrect landing can be quite brutal on the body. Falling ie on the back badly orientated could easily move vertebrae with corresponding consequences.
Depends what you mean by "tread uncharted waters". In my experience just browsing the web in Chrome is totally fine even on torrent sites (at least mainstream ones).

Chrome vulnerabilities at this point are far too valuable to use indiscriminately. They'll be sold on the grey market to be used against journalists in the middle east or whatever.

Even downloading films from bittorrent and playing them in VLC seems to be safe too, even though I would have thought that was an obvious attack vector. Maybe the social aspect if bittorrent helps a bit there.

I think the most likely ways to get infected these days are by falling for fake download sites, and maybe cracked games, though I don't play those so I'm not sure.
Is humanity really at a point where we can't think of anything more useful than "carry things about" and "put things in a box" for those people to do? If that's really the state we're in then a bunch of robots doing it instead is the least of our problems.
In our town even when new housing is approved litigious and wealthy homeowners will delay the projects with lawsuit after lawsuit.

Meanwhile we have derelict properties and a lot of empty commercial real estate.

I don’t know how to solve it but it seems to only takes a handful of homeowners to scuttle a project. And I fear my town will slide into irrelevance and decay at this rate.

And for some reason popping up another strip mall or box store doesn’t cause the same ire? It’s all very strange.
I have looked into Syncthing and I found that their E2E setup is too daunting. In contrast in Resilio Sync one can share read/write key and be settled with it easally. If security is of concern one simply puts an expiration time on the key.
writing it is not expensive. however, fixing the same bug in all the redundant reimplementations, adding the same feature to all of them, and keeping straight the minor differences between them, is expensive

The Peril of Slowness: American Mistakes During Russia's War in Ukraine [video]
This is highly critical, founded in the reality which a historian can bring, and is well worth the watch.

One of many solid arguments made here that is the risks of nuclear proliferation are increased by ceding a rising democracy like Ukraine to an authoritarian country like modern Russia.

Yes, hard to measure but my feeling is you are right.

Definitely so in London where you also get a lot of very large houses (big enough to be converted into multiple flats) being bought by the rich and super rich. Talk to someone in a business linked to luxury London housing and see how long phrases like "family office" take to come up.
Yes, njs. My dumb mind expanded the "n" to "node".
In the software engineering literature, there is something known as "second system effect": the second time a system is designed it will be bloated, over-engineered and ultimately fail, because people want to do it all better, too much so for anyone's good.

But it seems this is only true for complete system designs from scratch after a first system has already been deployed, not for the small "deleted some code and now I'm rewriting it quickly" incidents (for which there is no special term yet?).
Neither, it's due to real politik.

It's better to have world 'leaders' talking than not, so you bite the bullet and send them to Harvard.
I'm just saying you don't have to expel a gas to form thrust. Seems like a lot of the arguments here are 'newtons law requires to expel something to form thrust'. But magnets don't expel a gas. The forces translate.

The presentation is not advocating that they are violating the 3rd law. Most people's argument here boils down to 'but but , thrust, the 3rd law, duh, I read an engineering book in school once'. And dismiss this out of hand.

He provides a prototype, at least give it the same attention as the high temperature superconductor and replicate it, then provide some explanation where the force is coming from that negates any benefit. Like find if there is some static charge at play that is causing the measurement error and would make it useless.
As long as it’s aimed at people with Chinese citizenship and not anyone that looks remotely Chinese (e.g. Singaporeans, Koreans, etc), I’m not too concerned. They do have laws that force us to look more closely without devolving into pure racism.
And this is yet another moment when I learn that musical taste is very personal and wildly different between individuals.

Because I just listened to part of that album on YouTube (granted I only listened to the first half hour or so).

And I hated it. It's boring, repetitive, and not that good.

But that's my tastes.

Musical taste is always so fascinating, and I legitimately believe the best way to get to know someone.
The only time I try a page without adblock is when it breaks/doesn't work as expected. I hope this doesn't become a growth hack trick.
I'm slightly skeptical as to whether these are the only (big) things that made researchers at the Xerox PARC so successful.

Doesn't societal, economic and political environment play a big role? (e.g. housing costs)

On another note, I do see "funding people, not projects" to be reflected in the bend of YC. I heard multiple times they would fund the founders even if they felt meh about their project in the current shape.
Everyone’s experiences vary obviously but I find Long Island commuter towns to be very depressing places.
I used to own a flat back in 2008 (completed literally the day after northern rock went bust). I owned 1 of 42 shares in the management company responsible for the management of the block. Sure we had to spend money maintaining the gardens, internal areas, lift, door system, etc.

Each year we had an AGM where we elected directors (I was one for a few years) and make the appropriate decisions.

Ground rent (especially those expoential ones) is a problem, but all leaseholders have a right to manage their flats even if it's not set up that way.

The far bigger problem is the fleecehold houses, where there is no right to manage, or even see the invoice -- https://inews.co.uk/news/housing/new-build-homeowners-nda-so...
Pakistan stole nuclear secrets from Netherlands, and then sold them to North Korea (in exchange for ballistic missile technology), Libya and Iran. The nuclear arsenals of all rogue nations threatening armageddon today (other than Russia) were midwifed by Pakistan.

Amazon's role in society is not to provide menial jobs to keep people busy though. If anything, the automation provides good, innovative jobs in robotics. Those are the sorts of jobs I think everyone should have. Leave fetching and carrying to robots, and educate people to be useful in more meaningful, fulfilling, and impactful ways.

Suggesting that robots are bad because they take jobs from people doing horrible, boring jobs just says that you want people to carry on doing that work. That's not a good look.
And later sold the technology to North Korea if I remember correctly.
If so, is it a good idea to base programmer interview on live coding session?
Being an anonymous coward in some countries is better than the alternative. I'm still going to try to do the encrypted file login lol this isn't for personal financial gain or even for some social clout I can gloat about. This is for me to say I did something cool or beneficial for the world. If I could get this to work and gain traction, it will raise the bar for user privacy and maybe put an end to the obvious human data mining operation invading the entirety of the web. In thinking of maybe even doing a SSO service using the same security method.
After this, I completely lost faith in humanity :'D
AppleScript offers a NL style where you code using an english language description of an imperative syntax.

At first it seemed cool, but I quickly found it to be perverse and incomprehensible.

These samples are from Apple's Guide:

set numClowns to 5

--result: 5

set myList to { 1, 2, "four" }

--result: {1, 2, "four"}

tell application "TextEdit"

set word1 to word 1 of front document

end tell

--result: some word

"DUMPtruck" is equal to "dumptruck"
--result: true

considering case
"DUMPtruck" is equal to "dumptruck"
end considering
--result: false

I DID NOT MAKE THIS UP

on raiseToTheNth(x, power)

set returnVal to x

repeat power - 1 times
set returnVal to returnVal \* x

end repeat

return returnVal

end raiseToTheNth

The good news is that you can control an app as if you are interacting with its GUI and all the features are in there somewhere, somehow.

tell application "Finder"

ignoring application responses

empty the trash

-- other statements that ignore application responses

considering application responses

set itemName to name of first item of startup disk

end considering

-- other statements that ignore application responses

end ignoring

end tell

The bad news is a syntax from hell and how do you discover the available idioms?

The facility can be turned into an abomination when you interface from a shell using the osascript shim.

It's so bad that if I have to use it I can't help but fall in with it love because a working script seems like a minor miracle to be recorded in a religious tome of divine encounters.
try cleaning your email list first with a tool like Tomba.io to reduce bounces. Also, tweak your email content—avoid spammy words and personalize messages to engage better. Consistently monitor your campaigns’ performance for bounces and adjust as necessary. Sometimes using reliable email service providers like SendGrid or Mailchimp also helps improve deliverability. Stay consistent with your email volume to avoid red flags from ISPs!

I don't think you really have any idea what you're talking about, to be honest - there are millions of RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 boxes in production right now, and many of them are serving websites and could benefit from SSL certificates.

I know of a couple large organizations that have tens of thousands of RHEL 7 machines that use letsencrypt for customer websites, and I sent this project to sysadmins on their teams, so it's very realistic to expect that businesses are still using supported software.

Not everyone can just upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu every 6 months for their production workloads like you might expect.

There are very severe restrictions on local councils that limit how many houses they can build. So on average they've been building 1400 a year, across the UK.

There are also some quite generous tax breaks for landlords, including mortgage relief.

The playing field is slanted very heavily towards private ownership and (literal) rent-seeking.
Have we come to rely on "cloud services" so much that we've forgotten how to do this ourselves?

When Dropbox came out, many people LOL'd (especially here on this site where most people could build Dropbox in a weekend) because it isn't that complicated. It was just pretty and targeting the less-technical.

But now here we are, on the same site where people used to be able to build this in a weekend, asking how to find an alternative because (presumably) nobody can build this in a weekend.
Germany made a lot of mistakes over COVID. There were several cases of testing center scams where people reported more tests than they actually administered. No proof required. There is not a lot of bureaucracy surrounding vaccinations at least not from a patients point of view. So if you forgot or lost your vaccination pass you could probably just get another shot especially if you’re older/at risk.
Panpsychism doesn't strike me as particular helpful. Everything is emergent once you move beyond the lowest levels of physics.

I think the best approach to consciousness is to consider it a feedback loop of certain brain processes into perception circuits. This is why consciousness is often tied to senses such as hearing / language and imagery.

It certainly is continous as it develops even in humans.
Yes, why wouldn't they? There are multiple vendors who still provide security updates for CentOS 6
Sadly like half of that wisdom has to do with avoiding personal stress caused by business processes.
It doesn't prove anything but I do think it's very interesting that many people report feeling part of a universal and all pervasive consciousness as part of a psychedelic experience.
I love programming but I hate the programming industry
We are so thankful that you left.

It amuses me when people who leave NYC (and SF I suppose) feel the need to give a litany of exaggerated complaints about what a hellhole it is.

Do you hear yourself?

Pluto was big enough for your mom.
Wow that's disgusting.

We generally agree after some criminal decisions that decision-makers should be punished, and political parties should be forbidden.

Why not apply this to companies ?

I see the benefits (punishing stakeholders and deleting an institution that did terrible use of its power), and the downside (losing jobs) does not seem that terrible.
Chemical interactions isn't the same as conscious. I would say that it is exactly the opposite: consciousness is the capability of ignoring your chemical reactions and do what your will says. For example to not eat when hungry, an unconscious animal can't do that.
it's totally related.. we started with Lunatik in Linux actually then ported it to NetBSD..

? There are many things you can prove scientifically, e.g. which molar mass is higher comparing two elements.
I tend to spend a lot of time in REPL or throwaway unit tests, tinkering out solutions. It helps me think to try things out in practice, sometimes visualising with a diagramming language or canvas. Elixir is especially nice in this regard, the language is well designed for quick prototypes but also has industrial grade inspection and monitoring readily available.

Walks, hikes and strolls are also a good techniques for figuring things out, famously preferred by philosophers like Kierkegaard and Nietzsche.

Sometimes I've brought it up with non-technical bosses how development is actually done, didn't work, they just dug in about monitoring and control and whatnot. Working remote is the way to go, if one can't find good management to sell to.
The only thing that is truly absurd and unjustifiable is the trash. Why is it acceptable to just leave bags of trash on the sidewalk? Having lived in and visited NYC off-and-on for 20+ years, I never quite got that one.
It's a great inspiration for linux wallpapers and memes. ; )
What Is the Best Sleeping Position?

> This is why domain knowledge is key

In the comment thread, I keep seeing prescriptions over and over for the one way that programming should work.

Computer programming is an incredibly broad discipline that covers such a broad range of types of work. I think it is incredibly hard to make generalizations that actually apply to the whole breadth of what computer programming encompases.

Rather than trying learn or teach one perfect one single methodology that applies accross every sub field of programming, I think that one should aim to build a toolbag of approaches and methodologies along with an understanding where they tend to work well.
Indeed. Not to mention, aside from a few "jumps", most of the falls in the video seem unwanted/slips due to pushing. Uncoordinated, and hitting the water pretty much randomly.

It is impossible to have an opinion on this topic without being personally scorched (as opposed to being 'globally warmed').

I appreciated the research you and the OP did. I pointed out the ideas that co2 was fingered as the cause was not supported by the quote you posted. I also pointed out that a totally opposed position was also possible from the same info - that the the idea of climate alarmism. Ie you could say 'climate alarmism' has been around for a long time in order to raise fear to get the masses to move in a particular way, and that the historical facts are re-interpreted for the present day - ie that 'pollution' is the same as 'co2'.
The closer you get to the city then the more familiar people are with the city. So you effectively "zoom in".
> most interactions are form-like

I'd say that most interactions are link-like, but that proves your point even further.
What's unhelpful about it? Noting that everything is emergent is a simple way to understand that its unlikely that our consciousness is not, and to empathize with the rest of the universe more.

A comatose person can still have thoughts and consciousness, even trapped in their mind, though your definition of perception circuits might allow this. But even having "senses" is not a requirement for thought imo, it just gives it a framing that makes a lot more sense to us.
People have been outgrowing the city and moving to the suburbs forever. Content creator isn’t special.

I'm not sure if those priorities are in the right place.

For example, clang compilation times have slowed down something like 5-6x faster than the code they generate.

As a developer I can come up with better structure in my code much faster if I can try more things out in a day.

Now we want to add LLMs of all things in there? I'm not looking forward to code taking one or two orders of magnitude longer to compile

even low end smartphones work ok with basic javascript. the people who live on $2 a day mostly have a feature phone that is barely internet capable (remember WAP?) or they have no phone at all. i don't know about modern feature phones, but i expect they can handle javascript just fine, because it doesn't make sense to build a new phone today that doesn't. (i just did a search on some african online sites and found that smartphones can be had from $30, but most importantly that new web capable feature phones are not any cheaper (should those even be called feature phones?))

where internet is available it is usually not that slow either because it doesn't make sense to build a slow internet. i mean, it may be slow compared to what we are used to but even 1Mbps is enough to load at least text oriented websites, even with javascript. those companies do need to offer a service quality that people are willing to pay for. slow internet is a problem of old infrastructure, but developing countries tend not to have old infrastructure to begin with.

>A couple on minimum wage and 37.5 hours a week has a £3,200 a month net wage after tax. Even just 33% on a mortgage means you can get a c. 180k mortgage at 5%, enough to buy a 3 bed house in many parts of England, assuming you can find the required deposit.

That a couple on minimum wage can save for a £20k deposit within any meaningful time horizon is a pretty significant assumption.
Jeez. I dunno. Sometimes I just reach my threshold for the time I'm prepared to spend debating with strangers on the internet.
