I got to re-appreciate BASIC when evaluating options for teaching 11-year-old kids a bit how to program (in a single session).

People recommended Scratch etc. but I felt talking about programs was important also, which is easier when you write textual statements. At some point, I briefly considered using an emulated BASIC due to the simplicity and built in graphic, but I ended up using Python together with the pyturtle library for LOGO-like graphics, because the main exercise was to let kids draw a house on paper and then ask them to generate the drawing commands (also first on paper). Using Python has the advantage that nothing they learned was "wasted" or "academic use only" - you can immediately build on or monetize Python knowledge.

Interpreted BASIC certainly is a development forward from compiled FORTRAN from a didactic point of view.
Apple bolted Carbon APIs onto NeXTSTEP/Mach, and Microsoft bolted the OS/2 Presentation Manager onto NT (https://virtuallyfun.com/2021/05/19/presentation-manager-for...), so I'm not sure why bolting Carbon onto NT would be unreasonable.

Cupertino School District had to close three elementary schools recently because there weren't enough students [1]. This didn't happen in an aging town in the middle of nowhere. This happened in the middle of the Silicon Valley, right next to Apple Campus.

If a town's "culture" is such that even having one of the most desirable workplaces in the world cannot save it from becoming an old retirement town, maybe there's something wrong with the culture and it should serve the town well to shake away that culture.

AT&T was not using MFA, while it was possible. Someone leaked credentials and this is the result. Only thing Snowflake could have done was to force MFA for everyone.
English is the most spoken language in the world but also the most distributed.

Mandarin and Hindi follow but unlike English theyre heavily concentrated geographically.

Also, the symbolic examples you’ve provided are also based off English (variable and integer). It’s just that in a pre-cheap compression time words would be shortened to reduce space or transfer bits, but with cheap and easy compression that’s not a concern anymore.

For what it's worth, I don't think people are trying to say it's a zero skill sport. It's not an indictment of you or the sport.

I see the "argument" as: in sports like soccer or basketball, skills like dribbling or shooting accuracy don't have a skill "cap" and are generally uncorrelated to physiology. This is compared to the skill of descending a mountain at speed, which is dictated by how fast you can actually make yourself go, which is a matter of physiology.

It's not that strategy and skill don't exist in cycling, it's that raw power output (Watts per Kg) is ultimately the deciding factor once cyclists get to the skill cap of piloting their bike down a mountain.

So basically, could I cycle down a hill at 50-70mph? Absolutely not. But among the people who can, then the competitive advantage becomes how fast you can make yourself go down that hill.

> Customer loses their phone, so MFA doesn't work, ok, now what? I guess the customer needs to have one-time use recovery tokens saved somewhere that can't be lost? How many people do that (not nearly enough)? How many banks even issue those tokens? And what if the token store gets hacked? Now you're really fucked.

In my experience with banking in Brazil and Sweden this is easily solved with a OTP device you get from your bank.

Brazilian banks before that used to provide a card of 50-100 tokens you'd use for authenticating, which is obviously dangerous as people would carry them in their wallets with their cards (and associated banking details). Since the early 2010s banks have instead provided a physical OTP generator that you associate with your account.

In Sweden if I lose access to my phone with my digital identification app (BankID) I can fall back to my hardware OTP generator to login into my account, and authorise a new BankID installation in case I need a new phone.

It's a solved problem, even though the US developed a lot of the tech industry it feels like digital infrastructure is still in the late 90s for a lot of stuff; banking is a clear case, and government systems are another good example, e.g.: the DHS website for visa application is atrocious, we are in 2024 and applying for a visa feels like an experience from when I navigated the web on Netscape in the early 2000s.

Advice addresses one or two parts of a system in flux. Motivation, habits, beliefs, understanding, experience, skills, etc. then a variety of issues appear to happen to the system. In reality, a lot of what "happens" is predictable based on the system, poor sleep leading to mistakes, etc, but it appears to the person inside the system to be a complex machine on a moving playing field. People also greatly misunderstand what is required to effect change, as simply as poorly realising Murphy's fifth law, "Before you can do something, you must do something else."

> With Trump, he lies so much and so casually and so blatantly, you have no idea what his policies will be. None. There is zero correlation with what he says.

I think we can have some idea. For example, it is clear that Trump regrets somewhat the overturning of Roe v Wade. He never really cared about the abortion issue – he was just pandering to GOP religious conservatives with his Supreme Court nominations. And then when he saw how many ordinary American women were angry over Dobbs, he began to feel he'd gone too far to the right on the abortion issue. So, a second Trump administration is likely going to be harsher on abortion than the Biden administration is, but still going to resist implementing most of the more extreme demands anti-abortion conservatives will present.

For many other issues: if you study what he did in his first term, the political dynamics involved, leaks of his private conversations (he's more honest in private than in front of a stadium) – you can get a sense of what he's likely to do or not do. Of course, nobody knows for sure. But I feel like, on many issues, you can work out what is more likely than not to happen; if you placed enough bets you'd probably come out ahead overall.

And to be honest, does anyone really know what Biden is going to do? In the unlikely event he stays on the ticket and somehow wins against the odds in November, is he actually going to last 4 years? Or is he going to resign or die in office? And if you get President Harris instead, does anyone really know what she is going to do? She just seems like "generic Democrat" at the moment. She'll do whatever generic Democrat will do; she'll mostly do what Biden has done, but she'll almost certainly do some things a bit different, and nobody knows what or how.

> That's not something I'm willing to sign up for. I want at least some idea of what his policies will actually be.

That's a really high bar for a non-Intel investigation. The Pentium III 1.13GHz issue 24 years ago had 100% reproduceable instruction, but even that didn't include any deep dive into the internal architecture because that just isn't information that people have.
The competitive advantage is not physiological. Following your reasoning, that'd mean an F1 driver's competitive advantage is how fast they can push the pedals to get to 300kmph.

I'm announcing a new and exciting "doe_eyes' bicycle rider" program. The requirements are simple: you need to have a bicycle and at least $200M in assets under management with our firm.

Knowing this, if you meet a person wearing a "doe_eyes' bicycle rider" hat, is your first thought "oh hey, that person owns a bicycle"?

If not, then I think it's a bit facetious to argue that the definition is technically true. If you combine a trivial criteria with a nearly-insurmountable one, the nearly-insurmountable one prevails.
> Had Microsoft been serious with POSIX subsystem, and most likely I would never bothered with Linux for our UNIX assignments.

Arguably they did have a serious POSIX subsystem w/ the Interix (nee OpenNT) acquisition but they didn't do anything with it. I remember building GNU software under Interix and having a blast with it.

I still wish there was a distribution of NT that booted text -mode and had an Interix-based userland. That would be tons of fun.

The worry is interacting with LLMs reshapes the brain in as-yet-unknown ways. It may depend on one's position on "You are what you read."

One can use AI/ML tools without the conversant component; someday, there may be more visual feedback mechanisms like spreadsheet models or graphs (both nodal and charts), not just text.

Or maybe code--latent compute--is another expression: untangling it takes work, but it's more worthwhile than just "reading the answer."

I guess it's like wanting to understand the "physics" of a model than just using the model.

On the other hand, I hope to usefully apply "How to Say It: Flashcards for Professional Communication." So there's that.

I wonder what kind of effect that analysis would have on the launch decision. Here's how I would expect it to go:

Engineer: The logistic regression model shows there is a 99.96% chance of failure at 31deg

Manager: How good is the model?

Engineer: p=0.1157

Manager: So it's not statistically significant by our standards. In other words, it's not a very good model.

Engineer: Yeah, but still.

Manager: Well, what does the model say the temperature needs to be before we're more likely to have a successful launch than not?

Engineer: 64.8 degrees.

Manager: I can't defend pushing the schedule to the right that far based on a statistically insignificant model.

(It doesn't mean the manager was right, but I think it highlights hindsight bias. The model only seems good in hindsight because it aligns with the outcome we witnessed and not because it's a really good model. The managers at the time didn't have the benefit of hindsight.)
If you want to make it about rights, how about this: People have the right to do what they want with their own belongings. And in particular, land owners have a right to build what they want on land that they own.

In my country the Constitution guarantees that "private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation". But when the government tells a land owner that they can't replace a single-unit dwelling with a more valuable apartment building, they are doing exactly that.
Interesting. How did you chose, just the skills you were looking for?
Hydrogen only uses 4x as much energy per mile from the grid as do BEVs, a grid that's being constrained by AI. Moreover, there's practically zero infrastructure in place to distribute, store, and pump hydrogen. Some of the handful of hydrogen stations that did exist in the US just closed down recently.

That's not even getting into the bevy of consumer-side problems hydrogen presents.

3. What does "You should ensure your app provides a [...] responsive user experience" mean?

So can you disprove it instead of resorting to ad hominem?
Ironically they had multiple iterations of it, with POSIX subsystem in NT, MKS Toolkit, Interix, Windows Services for UNIX, for various levels of "POSIX support", dropped everything on Windows Vista, only to create WSL out from Project Astoria ashes.

And before they got golden goose with MS-DOS/IBM deal, they were into the UNIX business with Xenix.

I agree with all of your points here. I also noticed that the iOS notifications got an "upgrade" recently with photo previews and user avatar icons now being present in the notifications.

1. Honestly, it's pretty hard for me to discover new games. I mostly find them based off of hype/YouTube.

2. I really like RPG games with a good story.

3. I think it's pretty hard to find new games, since only a few games ever get highly popularized on social media. I'm not sure if this is because there aren't a lot of good games coming out from smaller indie creators, or if this is because these games just aren't popularized.

4. My most recent game is Arcane Odyssey, which I found since I followed the creator. I used to play his old games, so I was in his discord.
Do organizations like Planned Parenthood offer SMS support?
I looked this up and while your first sentence is true, the second (non-parenthetical) sentence is only true if you did not require any of the other services that required a SSN. There's a list of those under "Exhibit 2" (about 2/3 of the way down the page) on the SSA's website:

https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v69n2/v69n2p55.html

tl;dr: If you had a bank account, applied for a federal benefit, were on food stamps, applied for school lunch, or did any number of other financial or government transactions, you needed a SSN starting in the 1970s. That's enough of an incentive that many parents might've just applied at birth, figuring that their kid will eventually need it. Also everyone born 1968-1981 would've likely gotten one in 1986, when the change you mentioned about dependents was enacted, and then after 1988 they started being required for issuance of a birth certificate.
