No they don't have to be there. Their positions are because of history and 10 finger typing. It make sense, if you actually are able to type blindly with 10 fingers. If I do that, I find it convenient to use ma small finger to press shift.

There are also different keyboard layouts, like Dvorak or some other I can't remember. Among them are layouts that enable you to type faster than the qwerty/qwertz layout, we used to.

Just googled it:

https://www.daskeyboard.com/blog/qwerty-vs-dvorak-vs-colemak...

But. They all have theirs shifts on the same place like now. I also saw a customizable keyboard somewhere, where you can put the keys to wherever you want them to be physically.

So, may be it's just how you type, or, how you used to type. Not like, it is intended to type on such keyboard layouts? Have you ever learned to type 10 fingers? I learned it, but I hate it. I mostly use my right hand to type blindly. Therefore, the shift's are good where they are now for me (-> my patented EST SYSTEM: eagle search typing system haha. It's like that, but from a bigger distance

3. WTF are you doing working for above employer? I sympathize not everyone can do so, but the only way such bullshit will change is if enough of the workforce says "nope" and quits for greener pastures.
Or, use sonic_rs::Value which uses simd and arena allocation for keys and in my case for big payloads was 8x faster than serds_json.

> The first isn’t a good solution for many reasons. Don’t have GPS signal? Shooting next to a magnet? Your system won’t work.

These seem trivial to work around. Just store the last known position and use that. It's rare that you'll be without a GPS signal or beside a magnet, and you certainly won't be traveling long distances in those conditions. And since when do magnets block GPS signals?
Because VCs need to get investors, meaning they're competing with other investment opportunities.

When interest rates were 0.5%, a high-risk investment with a 12% return looked pretty attractive. So lots of people were handing over money to VCs. As they had wheelbarrows full of other people's money they were required to spend they didn't look too closely at what they were spending it on.

Now you can get 5.5% risk-free from a bank account, that high-risk VC fund looks a lot less attractive. As VCs have much less cash they need to spend, they can be a lot more selective.
There’s a communitarian-libertarian axis that’s distinct from the conservative-liberal axis. While libertarianism tends to dominate both the left and right in the U.S., I suspect most American conservatives outside the coasts are more communitarian, closer to Christian democrats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_democracy. Conversely, while American liberals have putatively communal ambitions, they’re often too fragmented and individualistic to accomplish them.

I write mostly Java and Kotlin professionally but have lots of Dart side projects.

Dart has evolved a lot in the last few years and is now a wonderful language to work with, not only the language itself has lots of useful features (non-nullability by default, sealed classes and pattern matching, Isolates, List spreading, first-class await/async, stream generators) but it has high quality documentation/package-manager/IDE support. The fact you can hot swap code without fuss and benchmark it using the Dart Dev Tools is amazing (https://dart.dev/tools/dart-devtools).

Kotlin as a language has some features that are nicer (e.g. data classes - though Dart has just released the first part of its new macro system which may make Dart more powerful than Kotlin in this regard) and others that are worse (e.g. pattern matching), so it's a close call. In terms of tooling, Kotlin has wonderful IDE support as well, but lacks in terms of code documentation (its doc system was in "alpha" quality level for years, haven't checked lately but I wouldn't be surprised it's still beta), package management (it pigbacks on top of Maven, which is not so great IMO, it does the job but it's not as nice as Rust and Dart, have a look at pub.dev - it's so good) and its main build system (Gradle seems to be the most popular and everyone who has used it knows it's not that nice to use, though it's extremely powerful - but notice you can use Maven just fine if you're not doing multi-platform, at least).

If you want to do multi-platform, Dart is a clear winner because you'll have Flutter, which has an extremely polished UX and stable support for all platforms. Kotlin MP is still catching up, I have used it a lot recently and it's all just coming out of beta now (and a lot of peripherical stuff is unfinished). Kotlin has an advantage, however: you can write Kotlin common code and use the native UI system instead of going the Flutter way, which requires you to write the UI in Dart. So if that's what you prefer, Kotlin is the better option.

If you do backend web development, Kotlin is superior, I think, because it can use all stuff from the Java world (Spring, Jetty, all the instrumentation stuff, libs to do anything). But Dart is fine as well, specially if you want to keep one language for back/front ends. And Dart has better interop with JS and a well developed FFI for calling native code (which makes the lack of libraries less of a problem... it's not much of a problem anyway as Dart has A LOT of packages these days).

In the end, I think that which one is "better" depends a lot on pure personal preference, but regardless of which language you pick, you'll be alright, they're both great languages now.

Amusingly, the word anatomy (“dissection”) is from Greek via Latin, from the very same root that we’re discussing here.

Other English terms from the Greek root for “cut”: tomography (imaging through a lot of cross-sections); entomology (study of in-sects, critters with sect-ions in their bodies); dichotomy (division into two possibilities); atom (that which cannot be divided).
> If that were the case there'd have been no open access movement

Open access means that people don't need to be researchers at Harvard to have access to science. You can be an expert without being rich or without working in a rich university. I won't address the last part of the sentence because it is preposterous.

> The point of scientific papers is to disseminate knowledge and findings as widely as possible. This is the first time I've seen anyone explicitly argue otherwise.

Sure it is! But the target audience of a paper is quite obviously other experts in the field.

> If a single paper is done correctly then it can in fact prove things. History is full of examples like that.

Well of course, it can happen: a mathematical proof does not need consensus. But a study about the efficiency of masks in preventing Covid-19 is extremely different. If you are not convinced, try to read the study in question. The tone there explicitly shows that there is no certainty: they contribute valuable information, but it's not a definitive proof.

Not to mention that even if we could say today that masks were not effective, it does not mean that back then it was a ridiculous decision. Back then we did not know exactly how Covid-19 was propagating, so it seemed reasonable to wear masks.
One other bit of feedback on the website - consider moving the Buy button to a persistent menu bar at the top, so you don't have to intersperse it throughout the product info flow. The first time I came to the buy button, I clicked it, not being ready to buy, but not realizing there was still a ton more product info further down the page.

Are there research studies to determine the value of a "Growth Mindset?"
"In a fixed mindset students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount and that's that, and then their goal becomes to look smart all the time and never look dumb.

In a growth mindset students understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort, good teaching and persistence. They don't necessarily think everyone's the same or anyone can be Einstein, but they believe everyone can get smarter if they work at it."

That's a legal protection, it has little bearing on whether the creator 'owes' (in the informal sense) anything to the software's users/community.

This is crazy to read. I live in what you consider a highly authoritarian and non-free society and can't imagine something like this happening here. Lower paid jobs are even more privileged in some ways: for example, in many companies you can just not show up for work for a couple of days if you feel like it, and the worst thing you can expect is a small pay cut at the end of the month.

The imbalance of power here is colossal. Its literally individual homeless guy vs google.

It still frustrates me that there's no built in gettext-style affordances for C#. I guess it doesn't fit the way people typically build software in .NET. IMO the result is that it's more work to localize your software, so a lot of software that should get localized doesn't.

I built a gettext-style system for my own software, so I feel like it's possible to do. But the gap between that and making something everyone can use is pretty big.

This sounds suspiciously like the "you should work for the exposure" argument given in the arts industry. Landlords don't accept expore for rent and grocers don't accept exposure for food. It's just a misunderstanding of how things work rooted in greed and entitlement.

No, you do what Iran (a potential nuclear power) did when Israel (a known nuclear power) committed an explicit act of war by bombing its consulate and killing some of its top brass: you respond with an appropriately measured but ultimately symbolic counter-attack and hope the other side understands that this is an opportunity to likewise exercise caution in its counter-counter-attack.

Or you do what the US and Soviet Union did for most of the Cold War: a cold war involving proxies. Or you do what Russia did in Ukraine and the US did in Syria: covert operations with (diplomatically speaking) plausible deniability.

A "war between US and Russia/China" would not start with a full-scale armed conflict. It would be a gradual escalation of force. Contrary to what cold war propaganda may have conveyed: the other side is rarely suicidal. At that scale it's more Realpolitik than 1980s Hollywood villain plots.

I don't think this was wheel-spinning so much as yarn-pulling, finding interesting tid-bits and seeing where they go. The most interesting things (to me) are when something doesn't quite line up with expectations, and then digging until I understand what the difference was - usually I misunderstood something (or failed to recall something, like in this case, disk/filesystem caches) - and I find myself more enlightend.

I totally get doing this to learn because it was an interesting process. But yea, if this were for money? I'd just restore from backups and follow the SOP - because for money, the _why_ something failed is often unimportant, the remedy is the same -- reboot, replace, correlate, correct.

The jab at mask-wearing during the pandemic is off-putting and senseless. The author even mentions "side effects" which aren't in the linked article at all. (if you're having side effects from wearing a mask, you're in dire health already)

Could you sketch in a few bullet point what you think is missing and how to fix the gaps?

In my experience a core problem is that adding rich specifications slows down rapid evolution of programs, since the proliferate transitively along the control flow graphs. We can see this most prominently with Java's checked exceptions, but most effect annotations (to give an example of simple specification annotations) suffer from the same cancerous growth. This is probably at least partly intrinsic, but it could be improved by better automation.
It’s not that a magnet blocks GPS signals, but it does affect the compass in the context of using 6 of the 9 degrees of freedom in the first proposed solution: “Use the camera’s GPS, accelerometer, and compass to calculate exactly where it is pointed and its latitude. ” (This solution should also do sensor fusion with the gyroscope, not just accelerometer and compass for orientation from a 9DoF system.)
