I didn't really mean anything by this "exclusion" that is not already the case right now. Programers (just like anyone) who are able to solve various problems are doing well. Those who cannot, and who are not doing well can try doing something else, it's their choice. Basically, I just wanted to avoid claiming that "every single programmer will find a great new job".

I guess there was no reason to put in this caveat. Economic developments have never been perfectly fair and neither will this one, which is obvious enough to not need mentioning. The wealth generated by such automation would allow for good social care systems and I hope we get some in any case. That's assuming we don't wipe ourselves out in the process.
This seems like a huge mess. Why is it so hard for R people to settle on a standard?
It's a fake brownie point scheme (i.e. cryptocurrency) to let the people who archive the most stuff decide what goes into the archive. There's also IPFS but that has absolutely no way to decide what gets archived.

> I wouldn’t support this bill if TikTok.com were going to be blocked

Do we have anything other than "it wasn't explicitly called out in the bill" to back this up? There are a lot of catchall clauses built into the bill which could easily cover the website as well.
Because this has little to do with TikToc, bytedance or even China. The specifics of whether TicTok is or isn't an actual national security concern will not be considered. The issues at the supreme court will be about constitutional powers, about whether congress may or may not pass laws mandating the sale of single companies, if done in support of national security. Such decisions should never be made hastily.
> we’re endlessly organizing more and more and more of our economic activity around marketing and advertising

That is the predictable result of a business model based on overproduction and obsolescence. There are already too many products and services compared to the number of pockets that could or want to buy them, therefore businesses struggle for potential customers attention. I don't see any sign of a change in the near future and am well prepared to see more and more space and time filled with advertising of some sort.
I have specifically asked Amazon customer support if they could do this (pick up the return) for my elderly parents who have Prime. They never agree and insist on printing a label. They don't have a printer. I have asked them about this at least five times.
Hm funnily enough, my house has helped me combat that too.

I'm in the suburbs + not in Seattle anymore so everything is cheaper. And the restaurants here are on par with Seattle tbh.

Bigger kitchen + ability to grill means I cook way more. And I'm closer to a supermarket than I was in Seattle. I never had anything walkable in the city but now it's walkable or a 90s drive.

It did take years of practice to learn how to cook with confidence. But I frequently now buy a whole (free range, locally grown) chicken on sale for 99c/lb. And generally just use what's on sale.

More storage space means I can stock up when staples are on sale. Both shelf stable food and stuff like paper products. That's free money.

Add those up and I've saved a lot of money.
All nonprofits should have to pay a tax of like 5% on revenue/funding to pay for a government audit system that checks if they're really doing what they're supposed to be doing. Same for any government program/status/aid. There is currently not that much of a feedback system for the performance of just about any government based enterprise other than "itself", which always leads to failures.
"Through an interagency process" of people handpicked by the President is not meaningfully distinct from what I said.

An this is hn, where you post comments and people reply. Doesn't change the fact that I think the original comment misses the purpose of the website.

> No evidence was offered that he read the contracts

This excuse only works for people who do not get paid for doing exactly this: the power to sign contracts, exit papers, stuff like that on behalf of the company, and, therefore, be aware of their contents. "I didn't go through the contract before agreeing to its content by signing it" is a damning verdict for someone in this position. You don't have to prove he read it: he signed, therefore he's responsible.
I specifically mentioned X1 Carbon because it is very light. Not a problem to carry at all, unlike eg a MacBook.
> it’s clear now that Python has “won” in this space and R is a tough sell to a wider team

R has always been a language for academics, and it continues to be popular in that domain, with no compelling reason to switch. It has seen usage in the private sector, but that has never been the driving force behind R's development or ecosystem, and I doubt it ever will be. For academics, even if a particular function is only available for Python, it's easy enough to call it from R and do everything else in R.
Boeing won't fix leaky Starliner before flying first crew to ISS
My wife and I are 57 years old, so I think I can address this. We finally got the younger child through to grad school and paid off all our debt, and now we can devote our time to what we want to do. Mostly, anyway - I'd like to be doing coding for pay, but instead I do technical translation.

But in terms of study - academic work - we're free. She's got a PhD in theoretical physics and has finally had the time to start publishing, including picking up quantum chromodynamics.

I've picked up my original doctoral work, too, which was on hold for thirty years while I supported the family. I've had no problems whatsoever tackling difficult topics - in fact, I've had less difficulty. I'm calmer, partly because I have to be in order to keep my blood pressure under control. I think I can do less in any given day, but I'm not even sure about that, because when I look back at items checked off over a week or a month, it's about what I wanted to get done.

So putting off study until you're 55 is not a bad plan. Keep reading about things in the meantime, of course. Take good notes. Keep things where you can find them in ten or twenty years. Write down your daily thoughts. You'll thank yourself later, trust me on this.
That's fantastic. My gradient field is pointing towards it.

Thank you again!
Looks like it takes up a lot of space, unlike the most of the US and Canada, where I live the roads are all small, a large road is two lanes with room for parking on one side, so I guess it could be called 3 lanes.

To build these intersections you would need to tear down many buildings/houses. So I doubt I will ever see that where I live.

I remember years ago, I once visiting a place in the middle of the country, I could no believe how wide just regular roads were, some were 3 lanes on each side. To me, that is a highway, but it was in a residential area.

Plus those roads were very dangerous for walking and bicycling. It made me feel way insecure for driving.

I will take my narrow, winding, intersections were multiple streets meet at all different angles instead of these square wide grid roads any day :)
Let's say you had a library function foo, which takes no arguments, does an expensive computation, and then prints a single result to the console. You need the function to instead return the value, so that you can do more computation on it. You could write a wrapper function that will call foo, but replace the print function with one that records the printed result.

For example:

def foo():
print('usually this value is inaccessible from "python land"')
def extract_printed_values(bar):
global print
old_print, returnv = print, None
def new_print(x):
nonlocal returnv
old_print(returnv := x)
print = new_print
bar()
print = old_print
return returnv
fooval = extract_printed_values(foo)

fooval will then be equal to whatever value foo printed to the console, otherwise foo will behave exactly the same as normal (assuming it only printed a single value), and print will even behave normally afterwards
Steelmanning the parent's argument. Having a better model of how fucked we are when there there's no appetite to actually do anything about is high-effort doing nothing.

And what's the next sentence you didn't quote?
China announced years ago it would not support the divestment of China's interests in TikTok/Bytedance. So it's always been a de facto ban of TikTok hidden behind the justification that it's not a de jure ban.
Not necessarily. The bill [1] very much leaves room for the creation of the 'Great Firewall of America.' Two of the top things it prohibits are:

---

(A) Providing services to distribute, maintain, or update such foreign adversary controlled application (including any source code of such application) by means of a marketplace (including an online mobile application store) through which users within the land or maritime borders of the United States may access, maintain, or update such application.

(B) Providing internet hosting services to enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of such foreign adversary controlled application for users within the land or maritime borders of the United States.

---

That is strongly suggestive of the creation of a national firewall, or a defacto national firewall where internet service providers have to abide a Federal censorship list or face legal consequences. This is one of the many things, like the Patriot Act, that people are going to look back in a decade wondering why they ever thought this was a good idea. Well actually they'll probably just convince themselves that they never supported it - much easier.

End ISPs can. If you're an ISP supplying internet service to a business you can and should block source addresses that don't belong to that business, on that business's line.

It doesn't work in the "Internet core". If you're Verizon and you got a packet from Comcast that says it's originally from Cogent, how do you validate that? This router that happens to be checking the packet prefers to send packets to Cogent via Sprint, but that doesn't mean Cogent also prefers to send packets to you via Sprint. Each router can have a different preference, too. (Example scenario only)

No, this is again wrong.

Picked by the President, confirmed by the Senate and required to adhere to an objective end per the APA’s process. The APA seems to be where your knowledge is lacking. (Also, if Bytedance disagrees with the outcome of their process, they can have the courts review. The law is written specifically to suspend absolute executive deference.)

The specifics do matter. You can have a very comfortable month-long international trip for certainly low five figures. (Obviously can do less but a few $K/week for a couple is a reasonable baseline.) You can also quickly add to the tab by picking the luxury hotels, first class flights, limos, etc. that may or may not add a lot to the experience considering.

I've traveled a lot and sometimes the splurge is really worth it. Often, it's not unless the money involved is just pocket lint to the person.

>Nobody seems to talk about what we do if that's not enough and how we tackle the challenges ahead but solar power, e-car and a democratic president are the right answers.

They talk about but that's more expensive, takes more time, and partially even needs technology that doesn't exist yet.

That’s certainly a fitting description of what I do as something of a sysadmin/devops amalgam, albeit a fairly experienced one, making a living with freelance consulting and SMB IT support. My perspective for what programmers are centered on the very conceptualization process you describe, where I would do something very similar to your scenario, I imagined “programmers” operating on a much lower level, less operational in nature, and tackling much more novel problems that involve something more creative than taping together APIs and tooling. I also see LLMs as being mostly productive in that latter category, where the solutions exist and it can pull from existing approaches.

For your broader point, I would be more inclined to agree if you had given it a more abstract task of solving some non-IT-related problem by developing an application from scratch. But maybe my perception of a “programmer” is naive?

I will create a global society that is mostly a dictate of scientists and engineers. My point: It's better to be dictated by scientists and engineers than lawyers and accountants, if we have to be dictated.

- It is MANDATORY to receive STEM education up to undergraduate level AND pass several tests unless you are proved to be unfit by more than one independent medical institutions;

- A commission consists of global scientific and engineering elites dictate what scientific humans should pursue in the next X years. So for example it could be Space exploration, etc;

- All basic needs are free. Food, housing, clothing, transportation, entertainment etc are free. But any extravagant material (e.g. a family of 3 wants a 3,000 s.f. detached house with a 2-acre land? That's extravagant) is expensive and may require extraordinary contribution to Science or Engineering;

- All other resources are poured into research and development of above mentioned scientific pursuits;

- We don't really need a monetary system because most of the basic needs are free. Instead we have a "contribution point" system. Detail to be revealed;

I could probably go on and on but that's the basic ideas.
