Doesn't really matter. It was drafted and professional, included known problems such as fake jobs and lack of accountability. Recipients included assembly members, house, and senate. To date, only boilerplate responses, no action, and only an increase in spam related to requests for donation for support during re-election.

> It's hyperbole.

It is not exaggerated, and by definition cannot be hyperbole.This is false.

The observations, and references stand on their own and are testable, when following rational methods. Social contract theory is well established, so is much of the referenced history.

Since you did not follow rational norms nor provide specific examples one can only assume you are referring to the entirety of my initial post as being exaggerated, which is an 'all' claim which are the most trivial to contradict as an overgeneralization and thus be shown to be false.

The claim that communicating facts about past events somehow legitimizes and justifies unrelated acts of violence, and causes it, is fundamentally unsound.

Violence absent survival (existential threats) as a general rule can never be justified, or legitimized.

Any good person knows this, and wouldn't try to justify because false justification is an act of self-violation, and this is how you become an evil person (who has willfully blinded themselves).

There was a time when evil people were killed because they had to be stopped otherwise they would bring destruction on everyone, these times were existential threats. WW2 against the Nazi's was one such time. They threatened the world, and your argument against communication for organization and response is an obvious contradiction during those times.

The structured reasoning you use is a foundational example of flawed thinking (fallacy) and an example of tautology, ad absurdum (by contradiction).

The consequence of an action or event, being the causing action of the event may be narrowly valid in some cases, but never sound (and it must be true in all cases to be sound), this is why it is generally considered fallacy, and by contradiction discounts agency and environmental factors, and overgeneralizes by claiming supposition-al elements are the same when they are not. You can't use circular self-reference when seeking sound argument.

As a result, you have made false claims, while choosing to ignore rational norms (given the ambiguity and dissembling). This is twisted.

Needless to say, there can be no rational discourse if you do not follow rational norms. I've shown that several of your statements are false claims, this informs on your innate credibility for future claims.

Without credibility, you don't have any basis for standing and by necessity, your future rhetoric must be considered false and discarded until you can prove rationally that it is not.

The nice thing about following rational rules and norms is it does not require credibility; only unbased rhetoric has that requirement.

Lies, deceits, and falsehoods are easily discarded under rational methods. Dissembling, discrediting, nullification all cease being useful when you have lost credibility and have no standing.
Maybe in terms of time, but not in terms of actual performance. CPUs haven’t changed that much since 2011 (relatively speaking), but between Windows 3.1 and Vista we got x64 and multicore CPUs everywhere became the norm.

> What we found is that seniors had essentially no desire to wear any sensors, which rules out the wearable inertial sensors mentioned in the paper.

This may well change over time as new waves of seniors become more gadget friendly. Or cultural differences. I've got two seniors around here who thought their fall detector watches were a great idea, and paid for them despite being very expensive in their eyes (dumb phones, no need for latest computers makes these the most expensive gadgets apart from TVs they have ever owned). Or maybe it was because one got stuck in a bush for half an hour until someone found them. Opinions can change after the first fall or the hip replacement or even the cataract surgery.

Optane was co-owned by a flash memory manufacturer. Maybe an SSD with very long longevity didnt fit their plans.

Its may be enough that just another company would have managed to create/license something like Optane and both companies would have stuck with a large over capacity for a long time.

Waking up the sleeping beauties of science
If that were how people learned the multiplication table, you would see that people take longer to come up with the result of 9*9 than it takes them to compute 3*5. I have never seen anyone work this way, and so I believe it's far more likely people just remember the results in a table. "9*9=81" is simply a fact you have stored, not a computation you perform, even subconsciously.

Edit: I should also note that it's pretty well known people learn arithmetic as symbol manipulation and not some higher order reasoning. The reason this is pretty well established is that historically, the switch from Roman numerals to Arabic numerals led to a huge flurry of arithmetic activity, because it was so much easier to do arithmetic with the new symbols. If people had learned by subconsciously calculating the underlying linear functions and not through symbolic manipulation, the switch would have been entirely irrelevant. Yet for most mathematicians in Europe at the time, doing 27*3 was much easier than doing XXVII*III.
Yes, that's exactly how rent works nowadays. You rent a piece of real estate and you pay the rent. So, yes, it's still relevant today but not particularly noteworthy.
I agree that f-strings have gone to town with itself. I do like the parenthesis support for with-statement, though: it gives more structural support instead of splitting lines with trailing back slashes--I always have an uneasy feeling about trailing back slashes.

Nice comparison. Indeed, the developer's CPU is about 13 years old. Vista was released internationally in early 2007, so a 13 year old CPU at release would've been released in 1994, about a year after the original Pentium was released. But many were still using their trusty 486 DX2-66 CPUs.

Quite impressive that a CPU from 13 years ago can still work on modern projects today when the same wasn't quite as true back then. And a CPU released today will (hopefully) be able to work satisfactorily beyond 2037. 8)

> That is, if you happen to own a nice locomotive, and miraculously have unimpeded direct access to all railways, then this tool will be a useful planner.

By law, that already is the case across Europe - all you need is a commercial entity, a locomotive (or multiple) that support all the voltages and signalling/trackside security systems used on the route, carriages that are certified (freight cars usually are Europe-wide, passenger cars run under RIC) and operators that have "Streckenkunde" (=they know where signals, switches, street passes etc. are on a route).

There are a handful of people doing just that, in Germany Roland Sandkuhl / LokRapid has gotten incredibly famous after a TV show featuring him and his old-timer Class 219 locomotive has gone viral [1].

I think you may have falsely pattern matched this particular reference. I love the taste and smell of cilantro and eat it all the time, but the first time I encountered a stink bug I thought "oh, it smells like cilantro".

It doesn't taste like soap to me. I think the stink bug-smell has no relation to the soap-taste, which is indeed caused by that gene. I think stink bugs' scent probably smells similar to cilantro for everyone without that gene.

Damn. That reminds me, I really wish there were more information about the early days of ArenaNet. I think what they did with servers and networking in GW1 (and eventually GW2) is legendary. They had instancing, no realm sharding, streaming updates, etc. years before anybody else. And GW1's gameplay design in general was so unique.

No, it's like: people who point out logical errors in internet comments look more foolish - always, no matter what else they did - therefore no one who hasn’t done that looks perfectly foolish.

Or, say, people who have caught a Snorlax have more Pokemon, therefore no one who hasn't caught a Snorlax has all the Pokemon.

This assumes that there's such a thing as a "fully formed idea" (which means an exception to "always" - you can't clarify your thoughts more and more by writing about them forever). If there isn't, it's still true, but it's not saying a whole lot.
Between this and ads I'm not sure what's worse.
What is there to "invent" exactly?

First of all, humans invent recipes based on the locally available raw foods, nothing special about that. Secondly, humans reinvent the same recipes time after time because we are all the same. Each culture invents their own stuffed dumplings, flat bread with toppings, etc. and they believe it's soooo unique and local
Solving Concurrency Bugs Using Schedules and Imagination
That's not 100% true. The pathfinding is atrociously bad in SC1, which is usually attributed to how they took the WC engine and made it isometric, but I assume was partly also due to performance. Whenever I go back to play it, that's the one thing that frustrates me every time when playing the campaign.
This is usually a result of following 'cloud best practices' instead of being pragmatic.

For example, using Kubernetes with Docker where each pod is some virtual ECS 4-core whatever instance, assuming scaling the workload over a 1000 instances will be fast. Which in your case will lead to said pods individually spending 90% of their time running 'npm install' , and each pod is way slower than your desktop PC.

Different tests have different needs and bottlenecks. For example, if you're running unit tests, with no external dependencies, you'd want to separate out the build process, and distribute the artifacts to multiple test machines that run tests in parallel.

The choice of using a few big machines or more small ones is usually up to you, and is a wash cost-wise. However I do need to point out AWS sells you 192 core machines, which I'd wager are WAY faster than what you're sitting in front of.

And Amdahl's law is a thing as well. If there's a 10 minute non-parallizable build process, doing a 10 minute test run on a 192 core machine vs doing an ~0 minute test run on infinite machines ends up being only a 2x speedup.

And there's such a thing as setup costs. Spinning up an AWS machine from an image, setting up network interfaces, configuring the instance from scratch has a cost associated with it as well. And managing a cluster of 1000 computers also has its set of unique challenges. And assuming that if you ask Amazon for a 1000 machines at a drop of the hat, and plan to use each for a minute or two, AWS will throttle the fuck out of you.

All I'm trying to say with this incoherent rambling is KISS - know your requirements, and build the simplest infra that can satisfy it. Having a few large stopped instances in a pool might be all the complexity you need, and while it flies in the face of cloud best practices, it's probably going to be the fastest to start up.
In the past I had very frequent migraines, I suspect caused by stress and irregular sleep (I worked for years in-call and making lot of night works).
Migraines will usually come in the weekend and take sometimes more than 24 hours to end.
They started with irritability, light, noise and smell sensitivity, then visual aura and then migraine.
I had a consultation with a neurologist and he suggested, before starting the drug therapy, to try agopunture with exactly those words:"For somebody is working and if it's not, you just got some needles in your body and you are not getting hurt". I was very skeptical, but it works: after couple of sessions my migraine are almost gone and very less intense. When migraines increases intensity and frequency, I immediately book a new agopunture session and I am fine for 12/18 months.

I suggest anybody that is struggling with migraine to try agopunture, for me was a game changer.

> As a junior programmer, it made the language harder to learn.

Can you elaborate on your opinion? I mean, I don't think that argument makes any sense. You're talking about an optional feature that, under very specific circumstances, you can get the compiler to fill in for you default implementations for factory methods/constructors.

As a junior developer, it should be very clear to you that if you want to call a function, including copy constructor or copy assignment operators, you need to define them first. Is that too much of a burden to place on a junior developer?

> Although one eventually learns to avoid the anti-features (...)

There are none of those, and obviously special member functions don't pose a problem to anyone.

> Particularly when writing library code for other to use or when maintaining large codebases shared by hundreds of engineers, my experience is that complex features in the language end up used by junior engineers or require consideration in API design.

I don't think you have a good grasp on the subject. I've worked on C++ libraries shared by hundreds of engineers, and API design was always from the start the primary concern. This is not a function of seniority: it's the very basics of writing modular code intended to be consumed by third parties.

Still, special member functions are the very least of anyone's concerns because anyone remotely competent in this domain knows very well that the public interface needs to be explicitly designed to support or reject specific types of uses, and the decision of whether a component could/should be copied/moved is tied to the component's architecture and semantics.
I don't think the socially anxious gain energy by behaving like extroverts.

But I agree with socially confident introverts.

I guess you can have more reasons to behave a given way, and it's really hard to isolate traits or narrow them down towards a definition.
Fear seems an incorrect analysis. The idea that introverts wish they could talk to people more if not for the anxiety seems to project the desires of an extravert onto them without good reason.

Social anxiety is a thing, introversion is a thing, and sometimes they overlap. But not universally.

> CPUs haven’t changed that much since 2011 (relatively speaking)

Perhaps not relatively speaking, but my 2021 CPU is 10x faster than my 2015 CPU on workload which parallelise (which compiling generally does).
You say that good engineering is about achieving organizational objectives. I say that competent management is about setting organizational objectives. Therefore, you're saying that good engineering is about satisfying competent management. From this POV you see increasing efficiency beyond the level required by management as the opposite of being effective. This is correct from the angle of the game played in the org. This is not necessarily correct from shareholders/other stakeholders' POV - sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

But I agree that going against the grain of managerial objectives will make you ineffective in the long term - management will see to it. You need to do less of this or find less competent management if you want to do more of this.
Serverless has become "you provide a function that handles request/response, we run and scale it on our infra"

You essentially only handle business logic, not the "serving" part of the server, but IMO it's not a buzzword. I'm not a huge fan of it personally because I want control and fear lock-in, but there's real meaning behind it, no?

This is very interesting, thanks for pointing it out! I really dislike cilantro, and to me it always tasted strongly like stink-bugs (not that I ever tried eating one...). I never really understood the dish-soap reference though.

So if this is correct, then the whole point of my original post is completely wrong. I'll have to look into this further.
Understanding leads to memorization, not the other way around. Chess masters can easily remember chess positions, but they didn't practice that it comes from fluency. Same with math, memorization comes by itself when you have grokked the subject well enough to make memorization trivial.

No, it's not a fork.

Theia reuses some components (like the Monaco code editor), but the reason it looks and feels a lot like VSCode is mostly that they decided to copy it.

They explain the reasons for creating a VSCode clone here [1]. In short, they don't consider VSCode to be fully open source, and Theia wants the code to be both free and unencumbered by Microsoft's licensing and proprietary code, and also available to commercial vendors to use as the foundation for commercial products. That includes an open extension system that isn't owned by anyone, unlike Microsoft's marketplace.

Secondly, Theia is two things. One is an IDE positioned to compete with VSCode and every other IDE out there. The other is as an extensible platform to build IDEs, either open source or proprietary. This is exactly the same strategy as the Eclipse platform, except built in web tech.

This earlier HN discussion has a lot more discussion [2].

I think the Eclipse people could have communicated all of this a lot better. When you put a VSCode clone in front of developers, your first task needs to be to explain how it's not a fork, and why it exists. The Theia site's front page [3] doesn't even mention VSCode by name.

well point the student at the little disclaimer that says that it may sometimes be incorrect!

Of course they changed it multiple times, it used to say that you shouldnt take what it says at face value, now it says it may sometimes be inaccurate, soon it'll say "learn more" and link to a page about how their model is super accurate but potentially, one in a million, makes mistakes.

Im worried about these students because they will be in power in a few decades. Its already a shitshow with people who didnt grow up as AI iPad toddlers.

I feel like parents are failing here, more than anything else. You can't stop these companies from doing this if it drives up the stock price, equally you cant vote against it effectively because a majority of the voting population either doesn't care, doesn't know, or asks ChatGPT what to vote for.

Of course Plato was right and the only way we can fix it is to have philosophers in charge, not demagogues. Good luck with that, maybe in another 2000 years we'll be smart enough to make that happen!
My takeaway:

It is important to at least see what that expert science is saying first-hand.

I want that too. But you know, there are apps in my country, banking apps, payments apps which are literally essential now as public service. They ask for every permission under the sun and don't function if you don't provide them those permissions which are often contact read, SMS read, and definitely location read - on Android. On Apple? Ah, works just fine without any permission otherwise Apple won't approve those apps. Heck, I have used TrueCaller with zero permission.
