The market rewards VALUE.

The rest are simply modifiers on that value. More intuitive UI allows users to gain value more efficiently. Performance allows users to gain value more efficiency.

Efficiency is important, but Value more so.
I'll have to check it out, we spent a few minutes looking and it seemed like they don't ship it anymore, but I guess you can still get Java 8 from Oracle and it should include it.
Less parts at same price is pure profit. Minimal cockpit is maximizing revenue. Late stage capitalism, the importance of the customer breaks down, as philosophical monopolies squeeze more shareholder value out of ever worser products. Would be interesting to see what happens if someone were to reignite competition.

But as hinted before, the sector is a oligopoly at the owner level.

It's not over analyzing, hahaha! :) We're going to get more by analyzing what it is. I get what you're sayin' but it's important to consider the possible meanings, right?

I think your take is fair, but it's just another interpretation like mine. Otherwise how it's taken or presented could be totally different to how it's intended.

> I don't think he deeply considered how different alien physical objects could behave with far advanced science, then decided how to feel about that.

No but he could have considered more on reflection then provided an answer that was the result of that. Hahaha! :) This discussion between us is like proof of why it's important to consider.

We don't want Jimmy Carter to be a puppet for whatever ideology or theory, we want to know what we thought. Hahah! :)

But I also reflect that maybe these sort of statements where it's ambiguous isn't that important to consider, because you can't really know, ya know what i mean? :) Hahah. So funny you say over analyzing but then we get down into analysis of it hahahaha! :)
This is critical and often overlooked when it comes to fully appreciating socio-economic factors that influence a person's capacity to "succeed". People with the resources are simply allowed to fail and recover more times than those without.
It’s also very much related to its use in GUI hierarchies: GUI objects generally have a lot of properties and behaviours, most of which you often don’t care for at any given point. Nil being a shorthand for “do nothing” without needing explicit checking is very convenient.
Definitely. All of them were affected equally, pretty much.
>I place most of the blame for these accidents on traffic engineers and city planners who let drivers speed through crowded pedestrian areas.

What a dumb take.

"I blame the people who eat seafood on why the ocean's coral reefs are dying."

"I blame the people who sell knives to chefs for murders in restaurants."

It turns out that if you basically don't punish people, they don't care what wrongs they do. That's it. That's all there is to it, there is no optimisation that can avoid telling people not to be naughty. Drivers aren't taking more precaution in their driving and it shows. There are less pedestrians on the streets next to fast cars than ever before...

(1) If you think what you wrote sounds sarcastic, you don't understand sarcasm either.

(2) Agreed. Which is exactly why these various Ivy League brands need to be concerned about their appearance. Maybe if they didn't cost $100k per year and up, they would not be under such scrutiny.

(3) I reckon if you can qualify for any significant discounted admission at an Ivy League school, you can get a full scholarship and/or awesome financial aid at a number of excellent state schools. So the value isn't in it for poor kids. As for rich kids, well, just because they have the money doesn't mean they want to waste it on a school that is just not worth it. I'm sure these schools' reputations aren't quite bad enough to discourage the rich from going, but let's see how bad they let it get.

Apart from that intial quote which to me sounds like road to absolute passiveness, thats my life so far.

Never had clear goal and wasnt given any, and I've massively surpassed anything anybody ever expected from me when growing up. But I largely let the flow of life take me as it went, and only in those few crucial moments when you are branching all your future life I went the harder but more interesting way and persisted despite hardships as long as it still made sense. Reasonable hardships are great, they often give back much more than initial costs, in many ways. And walking it alone without any external help is also sort of reward multiplier.

I am in a place in life in early 40s where I have nothing more to achieve or prove, just keeping the direction now is enough to be dying happy about life well lived.

Of course the last thing you wanna do in such place is to think you have it all set and figured out, life has nasty ways to remind you of the chaos just behind many corners.
I‘d say its the other way around, Java is closing the gap, and I say that as a Kotlin fan. Nullability in the type system is the big remaining advantage.
Years back I remember Trump saying something like "Amount of money and debt doesn't matter so long as folks still buy oil is US dollars". And I can't really disagree with him on that. The issue is when that golden goose flys then it will be all hell as the system balances back out.
Probably. A case I see more often is a dictionary with nullable values. A T? return can't distinguish key missing or key present with null value.

Which leads to a bit of an argument - nesting gives poor ergonomics, while collapsing impacts the ability to write generic code.
The big problem with the software industry, is it is working with a developer first, not customer first approach. Every technology or process is chosen for the benefit of the developers, to save them time, not for the end user.

Some will argue that it is indirectly benefitting the users who can get more features quicker. But most people care more about stability and not having to upgrade their computer yet again than features.
nah, she'll be right mate :-D

and if not, I plan on be very close to retirement by then anyway.
Docker is "programs bundling their dependencies".
Yes, though she'll need to be accompanied by her parents.
Ah, OK, gotcha.
Jan 6 mob had a lot of fatties. Just saying.
The biggest impact is on generic code - you don't want supplying Foo? as T rather than Foo to mean that there are side effects where successful returns and error cases are both represented by null.
This is easily fixable.

I develop using Dev Tools set to mobile and throttled connection. This way mobile-first responsiveness (limited screen-estate) and potential problems with bad connections are first class citizens.

Now, what usually happens is that I signal problems to the product owner and they wave them away. So I might update your third point that sometimes they do test it on their father's old 2010 family PC but it's not of concern to more relevant stakeholders.
if Japan is importing many goods and services,
they need to pay them in USD

Yes, and for this purpose, the Dollar is among the "stuff" the US produces: A currency accepted in many places.

Most of the money is created by commercial banks

Say there is a new bank which has no central bank money, no deposits, nothing. First customer walks in and gets a credit of $100. Now the customer wants to pay these $100 to someone who uses a different bank. What happens?

> they've struck 3 ships in the past week

The article says they struck one, the one carrying Russian oil, and targeted (but did not strike) two others. No strikes the U.S. would care about.

It looks like the U.S. is pursuing a counterbattery strategy in Yemen. Keep assets remote. Watch for enemy fire. Use their revealing their locations by firing to counterstrike. It's a safe, effective but slow strategy.

I was premature to call it a success--the Red Sea hasn't re-opened. But the risk to global trade has been sidelined to the extent that the entire debacle is a negigible sideshow.

Also, I think the 'UFO' term is good. Detected on radar, probably means object. UAP is too nebulous possibly deliberately so to confuse. UFO's the better term I think. I honestly think the chracterization of people interested in that as 'crazy' or 'crackpot' is not only abusive, and stupid (and not serious), it's not true at all, I don't think it ever was.

I think that idea is some kind of 'propaganda'. There has been an information war about this topic because the existence of a more powerful outside force directly challenges the authority of our Earth governments, so in the face of no other means to contest these things, they've sought to belittle interest in them to empower themselves. Controlling the narrative rather than the nuts and bolts. But the kind of abuse of the public is untrue, and like wartime propaganda against the Japanese as "they will eat your babies and take your women."

The crazy thing is having that view, and the non serious thing is characterizing people like that. That's what I think, and I think that's the right way. I mean, you can't make progress on understanding something if you try to shame anyone who wants to talk about it, get interested in it or study it.

Seriously tho, if you were an invading alien force wouldn't you want people to discount your existence as crazy? What better way to run cover for your infiltration? Hahaha! :) So the whole thing is bizarre but I think it's not profitable to go that way. It's only good to treat people well, and this topic is no exception. Not just for the reality of treating people well, but so we can study it properly. The serious way is to take it seriously. :)

And what is better, seriously, than something that could help bring about a Star Trek future? Fucking cool I think. So I think people who bring a negativity or an abusiveness there are just projecting, either their own shit, or the shit that's been fed to them by propaganda. And if you really want to be a free thinker you just have to get outside of that. I think that's the best way to move forward on this. Positive and fun. open and curious. And lookin to the future and seein what we need to see as risk and opportunity. Yeah! :) Haha

That’s just a default callback.

Actually using this instead of nulls in any sort of general case would be using CPS for all faillible APIs, and that sounds heinous.
Wow, I did some work in summer 1996 in java, web applets! Would be awesome to find that again, but I think the chances are less than slim for that happening.

Actually I did some somewhat impressive graphical x86 assembly programs around 1994-95 which I would have really liked to see today, but I saw no value in those once I had done them. :/
I have similar experience but with Americans. They knew very superficially about the business and completely dependent on our Indian team to get them out of their troubles. Troubles caused by again not knowing and just trusting another team (donno where they were from) to handle their issues.
This isn't a one off case either.
So get off your high horse. Both countries have qualified and unqualified people in tech and other fields. Just calling yourself the greatest country in the world doesn't change the fact that all of US depends on immigration
IBM sues a Zurich-based startup over 'unlawful' use of mainframe technology
I don’t think what’s happening in west coast cities is going to be solved by paying for anything - whether it is housing or rehab or whatever. A lot of people at these unsanctioned encampments are anti social and want that lifestyle of drug addiction. They refuse services and also refuse to work. They don’t care about taking up spaces meant for other things, or destroying public bathrooms, or stealing, etc. If they’re facing no consequences they’ll keep impacting everyone else. I know this isn’t true about everyone but I would say it’s true of many. I’m no longer a believe in the compassion first approach and now think a tough approach is more effective, even if it’s not perfect.
Even ignoring the software side, the current hardware leverages several sized components to get proper fit / focal length. I don't think it is really marketable as multi-user unless you can have it adjust to a face/head without juggling parts.
> moonshots it is then

Moonshots involve fundamental technology risk. LLMs are no longer unproven technology--the problems are in scaling and product-market fit.
The only real problem with null, is not having a real optional type in Java. If you have it, 99,999% of null errors go away.

Java Optional std lib class, instead of a language (typesystem level) feature was one of biggest mistakes in its recent history.
Looks like SRAM load on AVR takes 3 cycles, EEPROM 4 cycles[0], 1 cycle subtracted for consecutive reads. SRAM store is 1-2 cycles. FMUL(fixed point multiply) is 2 cycles. CPU is not pipelined nor cached.

3 cycles for load + 2 for multiplication + 1 for store = 6 clocks for multiplying a float against an array on program ROM. I just couldn't find corresponding document for CH32V003/QingKe V2A/RV32EC, but some of pdfs mention pipelines, so I suppose users are not supposed to count clock cycles and it's just vastly more efficient. That just could be it.

I would include React in the framework camp. It isn't technically a framework but it goes far enough that it pushes you to write code in a specific way. If you approach it like a library you often find yourself writing code that doesn't work well with React, which is a common source of janky websites. If you approach it more like a framework, and make sure you follow 'the React way' you'll almost always end up with a better app. To that end it might be better to think about it like a framework.
> I live in the EU! People raise millions and 10s of millions here for stuff that is nonsense

Is it purely private money? I've noticed a lot of nonsense European start-ups are basically consulting gigs with a public grant writer.
> "But most people care more about stability and not having to upgrade their computer yet again than features."

Gonna need some data on that assertion, since there is surely some "balance point", that probably depends on the industry/software, it's not all to one or the other.

As a personal example, these days I've been using Apple Pages (or whatever is called) and it crashes around once in an hour. But it has some features that allows me to quickly iterate over some document, so I am back to cmd+s as in the old days, vs using LibreOffice interface where it would take me an estimate 2x-5x more time.
Here's another video of an instructor teaching a student falling leave stalls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpBX-B5mQ18

Not a pilot but I've dabbled a lot with flight simulators over the years. This is one of those things simulators struggle with. Even X-plane will just spin irrecoverably and crash when you try stuff like this.

Yes, but all of the React web apps that don’t have a companion mobile app aren’t just cargo culting (but there is a lot of that in the industry). Managing UI state the React way is easier for anything non-trivial. Sure, for forms the web has you covered. But that’s about as far as things go. I remember seeing the small amount of React code required for a typeahead search for the first time and realizing how much more I could now do. The problem is that we have opened ourselves up to all sorts of new troubles by taking on that power. I still wouldn’t go back. But I will complain when some rookie dev makes me download 10MiB of JS to look at a blog.
Every morning you both leave early to stand amongst fifty others outside the local Amazon Mechanical Turk offices. Once a software developer with a thriving career, you're now just another face in the crowd, hoping for a day's work training AI — your deep knowledge reduced to manual inputs for algorithms you once could have designed.

I don't know if you're trolling or not but this is an absurd take on what an AI infused future would look like

The US produces 15 Billion bushels of corn/maize a year. Bushel = 56 pounds. About 8 bushels provide the calorie requirement for an adult for a year. The US has about 350 Million people.

The US produces roughly 4 Billion bushels of soybeans a year. Bushel = 60 pound. About 6 bushels of soy (yielding 60ish pounds total protein) meet the protein requirements for an adult for a year. Provides additional total calories to boot.

Just corn and beans. The US will do just fine…as will the rest of the Americas, since Brazil is outproducing the US in soybeans and producing 5 Billion bushels of corn a year.
Me too :) It does open up opportunities for consulting in all the programming languages in use today (or 10-20 years ago), so we can expect to be in high demand right before retiring :)

About 7-8 years ago in France you’d get regular phone calls from actual humans running the same scam about a DHL or whatever packaging requiring duties to be paid. Plus the same SMS scams.

Americans are lucky in they usually don’t have to buy from abroad and when they do, rarely is tax/duty payment required from the recipient (unlike many other parts of the world).
It’s a 100% difference (;
In the whole React ecosystem render is used as a keyword to produce HTML/DOM abstractions though. For example class based components having the render function.

The rendering you mention never happened anywhere in the React JS code. Browser did the rendering internally.
I would say it does matter to the end user when they are in an area with poor network connectivity. The Astro web framework provides a good balance between interactivity and content-driven experiences. Being able to reuse components saves time, reduces the carbon footprint and conserving more joule of energy on million of devices. One of which I believe Reddit have recently make the switch.

You can see the impact we can make. A programmer's focus isn't just limited to following a straight line from start to finish and receiving their paycheck. Only poor soul like me are still out of job.
What's the alternative tho? If you take a loan, in most countries you're expected to pay it back, no? Do you think people should be able to default without consequence?

What's up with the space before question marks? It's really distracting.
On which platform? On Apple's there cost is part of the premium you pay for the device. Cheapest Mac is $599. Cheapest windows machine is $199? $99. So arguably some of tbat $400-500 is for the extra software. Or would compare against Linux where you could also get a machine for $25
This viewpoint seems a bit fear based or conservative to me. I wouldn't be shocked if the author wants a high degree of wealth as well. I guess that is a defensible approach but there is another approach of trusting the process, learn from your experience (and the experience of others if you can) and bring a perspective that most experiences have a positive aspect that you can focus on. Why be afraid, you die either way. Life isn't a zero sum game where if you get divorced or don't become a famous person or a really rich person it has no interest. Everyone has interesting experiences and the chance to learn and form connections and help out and find meaning strewn all over. And even the wrong career will give you skills and perspectives that you find yourself drawing on when you get the perfect career. Even if only to deeply appreciate the perfection, that is worth a lot of lifetime savings.
Yeah Reentry it's nothing like KSP. It's like comparing Mario Kart (KSP) to Project Cars (Reentry) :D
I remember using ColdFusion to dynamically render HTML on the server, and still support client side rendering in the client via standard JS if needed.

Times were simpler then, I feel the abstraction was a lot simpler.

I'd like to see the simpler ColdFusion / ASP style model grow with support from smarter back end tech.

The crazy levels of abstraction in the client/server model are just confusing for someone like me, who was quite happy with the older way of doing things.

Web delivery should be about simplicity and maintainability, not seemingly academic exercises in purity, speed, or abstractions.
