What made Bell Labs so successful is simple:

- public funds

- researchers free to research instead of producing something marketable in 6 months or less

- long term projects and goals as a NORMAL thing instead of being considered folly

- a school system designed to make citizens not useful idiots https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/i-was-usef...

Unfortunately the last point in the present time demand IN THEORY at least some new generations to be achieved, in practice the ruling class do not want at all anything like that so it's mere utopia.

As a bottomline: EU was the most advanced countries of the world, when it do public funded research and industry, it commit suicide with WWI, the USA have copied and advance the EU model after WWII, then commit suicide as well with finaciarisation of anything, now it's China who rule, but the model, the substance is the same: countries grow and prosper with public funded research with long terms goals and researchers free to master themselves with the industry picking marketable research from them instead of commanding research. Countries might vary, populations might vary, implementations might vary a bit, but the principle so far have proved to be the same.

As a result we are in a decline phase, which probably result in a series of LOST wars, and a long era of poverty and destruction before a new start.
The solution is to take out where the missiles come from. I.e. down the bombers.
You gotta find a Russian dedi that is unwilling to respond to subpoenas but also secure enough not to be compromised by the NSA, who presumably has an ongoing operation to monitor “sketchy hosts” and poke holes in them by signing up, testing the internal management infrastructure, etc…
To me it's more like, imagine that you have read a lot of books throughout your life, but then someone comes in and asks a question from you and you try to answer from memory, but you get beaten when you say something like "I don't know", and you get rewarded if you answer accurately. You do get beaten if you answer inaccurately, but eventually you learn that if you just say something, you might just be accurate and you will not get beaten. So you just always learn to answer to the best of your knowledge, while never saying that you specifically don't know, because it decreases chances of getting beat up. You are not intentionally lying, you are just hoping that whatever you say is accurate to the best you can do according to the neural connections you've built up in your brain.

Like you ask me for a birthdate of some obscure political figure from history? I'm going to try to feel out what period in history the name might feel like to me and just make my best guess based on that, then say some random year and a birthdate. It just has the lowest odds of being beaten.
Was I hallucinating? No, I was just trying to not get beaten.
Excerpt from what article? (edit: i see you're referring to the indented quote from the article, but i was asking what the "fuckin a." thing meant.)
Those looking at Canada need to get serious and do better research. The options are much wider, even if you restrict your search to English-speaking lands. I know this because after the previous Trump victory I gave very serious thought to leaving the USA. That I eventually did not was down to two factors: a spouse who was firmly against the idea; and my discovery of what I call the retirement barrier.

That barrier is simply this: emigration as a retired person is much more difficult than for a person in their active working years. If you are active in any of a variety of occupations, nations are much more likely to give you residence. Every nation has a list of occupations they'd like to have more bodies working in; and the strongest recommendation is to have an local employer willing to hire you. Retired people are seen as potential burdens on all social services and generally have to meet higher requirements.

That said, if you are young or in mid-life, think about it. If you are even modestly wealthy, look first at nations offering a "golden visa"[1], a residence permit given in return for your investment in local real-estate or business.

And for pete's sake look beyond Canada and New Zealand. The best prospect I found for a US emigrée was Uruguay! If you have any Spanish, give it a careful look[2,3].

> he couldn’t convince any of them to cosponsor it. I don’t think anything has changed

You seriously don't think anything has changed in the GOP in 20 years?

And you're not arguing in bad faith?

> Trump has never said anything about abolishing the National Weather Service,

He already tried appointing the AccuWeather CEO for the job last time, who mostly wanted to privatize the NWS.

Maybe he hasn't directly said it, but he's actively moved to do it. Once again you're arguing people to just ignore the facts they can see with their own eyes.

And sure, maybe he hasn't read Project 2025. But the people writing it are the people he appointed last time and is likely to appoint again.
But, in a way, OO modeling and design was invented to solve the mess that "banging out" procedural code created in the first place.

You have to model your business domain in software one way or another anyway. Why should it be bad to try to be more methodical about it using OO methods? We do it with relational databases all the time where tables are pretty similar to objects.

The problem is that most of that budget is earmarked for huge money-wasters like SLS, and those earmarks are growing. So the non-earmarked budget shrinks.

I'll note that it sounds like they were relying on a 3rd party to make their descent module, but it won't be ready in time. So if they were to go ahead with the launch they wouldn't have a way to land the thing.
Talking about matters that are important to the powers that be is always unsafe, unless you vehemently agree with them. You are only safe in the West if the government considers you a clown that nobody will pay attention to. Someone like Julian Assange they will do their darndest to destroy.

It seems like the government is becoming wise to those kinds of loopholes. Biden recently announced a tariff on Chinese steel imported through Mexico, I imagine he’ll do the same for Chinese EVs. Trump is even more bearish on China, so it’s not like they can hope Biden loses reelection and the tariffs will go away.

Do you think that people who are self-consciously underperforming in a role are happy? Do you think their team is happy?

In software, if you aren’t a complete lemon, you’ll have no trouble finding a new company, hopefully one where you can be a better mutual fit and therefore be happy. It actually is freeing, if you view it with a longer time horizon than the day of your last paycheck.

If you are 100% invested in the long-term happiness of someone who’s underperforming and unwilling to improve (obviously within reasonable bounds of expectations, these are table stakes), the best thing you can do is write them a recommendation and give them severance.

If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being a lemon in software, you should seek work in a field that doesn’t make you feel or treat you like a lemon. No amount of money will compensate for the feeling that you could be fired with cause any day.

The US government does run its own self-hosted analytics platform (https://analytics.usa.gov), which the USPS does in fact use. Which makes it all the more questionable that they were additionally using third-party analytics.
The very first Apple Watch cost a billion dollars to make. Costs got quickly amortized after that first unit.

>Why would a more restrictive hiring process that has a lower false-positive rate cost my company "millions" in the long term?

1. because you're not thinking in opportunity cost. Companies are concerned with not losing a few months of productivity in a hire. Meanwhile, true best fits don't even get to talk to a human and get hired and make other companies millions.

2. even if we don't take that into account: a longer hiring process costs productivity internally. Your current overworked employees realize help isn't coming and leave. So you not only lose whatever a new hire would have cost, but existing tribal knowledge. Self-furfilling prophecy.

3. Lastly, social/cultural fit is way more important than hard skills 95% of the time. The absolute worst case isn't losing employee productivity, but getting a potential lawsuit over a culturally misaligned hire. These days those are usually weeded out quickly, but it wasn't as obvious if we're talking 10+ years ago.
Even if they were interfaces, it screams of the "model your code after physical objects" approach, where a system has 1 enormous "Book" type which represents all the things you can do with a physical book.

It seems unlikely that the same type should be "Shelfable" and "Readable" / "Pagable," because they describe distinct sets of operations. When a book is on a shelf, you can't page through it. If you "read" a book on a shelf, you only see the title, author, and maybe some pull quotes.
There's no deep mystery to that; anyone who questions the dogma in any of the fields I mentioned is also obviously an outsider. The fact you went so quickly to attacking my credentials rather than giving any real rationale is not a sign that your field is full of legitimate knowledge; quite the opposite.

NSA is not a law enforcement organization, and the national security need to keep NSA processess, techniques, tools, and practices as secret as possible is a powerful motivator to keep any traces of NSA capabilities far away from the legal discovery process of a courtroom. Parallel discovery is possible, but do you think the NSA is eager to risk tipping their hand to Russia just over some nobody's CCTV footage?

This brings me back to the olden days of Geocities and other free hosting services, when sites like this were the norm for many people. It's a fun trip down memory lane for sure, and the fact this looks identical to many of those sites provides great evidence for how accessible and easy to learn HTML was in those days...

Either way, nice job, especially for a 7-year old learning web development!

I think folks may not realize how large Exxon and Shell's pure R&D labs are/were. The other majors have cut much more heavily on pure R&D in the past 20 years, but Exxon and Shell have always focused on pure research fairly heavily. It's been cut back in the past 10-ish years, but the R&D labs at both are still present. The breadth of it is significant, and while sure, it's geology, metallurgy, chemistry, etc (i.e. it's not what folks here likely think of as "tech"), it is fundamental research as opposed to applied research. A lot doesn't sure up under their R&D best because it's combined with internal consulting, but it's still a large group of folks hired to do r&d with diverse backgrounds.

Those labs still exist today, but they're not as large as what they were in the recent past (e.g. 2010), and especially compared to their heyday in the 70's.
I once bought one of those Lenovo something hybrids between touchpad and notebook, horrible design as it turned out. It had a docking type of connection with the keyboard, very sensitive to vibration of the desk. Since the touchpad piece had the CPU, and the keyboard piece had the external connectors, it was practically unusable. If you connected an external storage device, it would randomly disconnect (and possibly lose data) due to vibrations of the table. So yeah.. you could probably tap morse code on the table and have it detected on this device.
thank you, disabling the floating thumbnail has sped up the file/image delivery

the launchctl analysis is a great suggestion too
I still don't get how Java records can be used for anything like a DTO. Since you're a Clojure dev you may remember the pattern Rich Hickey described as "place oriented programming" :) Nearly every endpoint will have more than 2-3 fields and you really don't want a Java record with more than that many fields for the same reason you don't want a Java method with that many fields e.g. doIt(Long, String,String,Long,String,int,int,String) <-- code smell.

And the problem I always see is something may start off as a Java record and then need to be refactored into a class as soon as 1-2 more fields are added.

Have a look at Ballerina,

I don't really think that's it. When I was in high school, I didn't see my parent's or my friends' parent's success and think "I've got to go to college". I was busy doing what most kids are doing: having fun with my friends and trying to get close to the opposite sex.

What made me think I needed to go to school was the constant inundation from counselors and teachers that my options were college or a mcjob. To a kid that just wakes up one day every late summer and walks into a new classroom without doing anything to make it happen, it seems like college is just the next high school. It's just what you do. Nobody, ever, not once, talked to me about the financial aspect of it. Lucky for me I didn't wind up going beyond a month at a community college which I quit for other reasons, but without those reasons I'd have continued with it because I, like most people my age, didn't know what to do with myself. I had a rough time after that for a few years, but today I can say that I am financially and in general living a much better life than my peers who went to college, and I have a few that also didn't go and several of them are doing wildly better than me. I don't know a single person that went that isn't stuck on a treadmill trying to play it safe and pay down debt. That's their lives, they'll get old on that treadmill, and mine is mine alone.

Long story short, yes, from my observation, most people are tricked. The only people that need to be going to college are people who want to be in medicine, lawyers, people that want to go into academics and do research as a career, and people who's families can afford to give them a liberal arts education just for the sake of it. The rest of us are better served just starting to live our lives.
Yea, it's gotten to the point where you just have to say "YES" to every obvious gatekeeping/filtering question. Whatever it takes to get to the next gate. Out of 10 written job requirements, only 1, maybe 2 are actual dealbreakers. If the job really requires specifically .NET 5, then the technical interviews will grill you on it, and you'd fail for the right reasons.
I don't consider myself an audiophile and I'm sure they'd scoff at the Klipsch speakers I have hooked up to my HTPC and home theater. But even then, listening to the Ultra HD selection on Amazon Music and 4K Blu-Rays as opposed to streaming, there's a noticeable upgrade in sound quality. I think you'd be hard-pressed to get anything close to the same level of sound out of headphone speakers or even a soundbar just based on the relative sizes of the speakers.

Of course, like I said, the true (and wealthy) enthusiasts would probably look at my setup and laugh, because there's always more money to be thrown at something like that.
Like most progress, it is only partially "complete".

When we look at SSDs and flash memory, we worry about TRIM, atime being off, TLC vs MLC vs SLC or what have you, how it behaves when it's near full, very hot etc.

For USB-C connectors, we have no idea how fast any device is going to charge, how fast is data transfer going to be, and whether some of the things are going to work at all (TB vs USB, alt-DP or not, PD or not).

In a sense, multitude of connectors was simpler because it wore those capabilities right on the face of it: if it fits, it works.

The flipper zero is an FCC-approved toy with an itty bitty teeny tiny subset of the capabilities of proper wide-band SDR kit, e.g. HackRF One. This isn't due to firmware locks that can be jailbroken - there is no wide-band SDR hardware present. This is just a collection of a small handful of narrow-band SDR chips.

Agreed.

I would definitely be willing to participate in the research.
There is also a lot less misandry in general. The old "men are dumb and messy and gross" trope doesn't hold much relevance. Women are more likely to view a man as just another person and not a member of The Evil Patriarchy.
Obviously the subtext here is about the changing circumstances of life in one’s home nation, which is a big question. If there are trends in how many people are reconsidering their country of residence, this is an interesting indicator to discuss.

I think I remember reading, somewhere, that liquid hydrogen is magnetic.
And if that ever feels too corporate/safe, there's also fan game development/modding. The lack of legal ways to monetise your work there means that everyone who'd only be interested in the field for money is quickly filtered out, leaving only those willing to plow a decade or so of their life into something for no financial benefit.

Plus if you go back far enough, you can work on something where there's no room to abstract out anything and your code has to be optimised for the bare hardware itself, which is always an interesting challenge.
Yeah I don't really count Flash or Silverlight as parts of the "web platform" personally, though I will re-iterate that I am still very pleased with the Ruffle project nonetheless. From a practical standpoint, Ruffle does a lot of good even if Flash always was proprietary and not really a part of what the web platform really was at its core.

I hope <frameset> continues to work into the future. I'm sure eventually it will wind up on the chopping block, and personally I think that'll suck.
