While we're at it let's remove the jargon from other trades, too.

"P-trap" is a confusing word that plumbers use, we should instead have them say "gas barrier". And the word "fuse" makes very little sense in an electrical context—try explaining to someone who's never seen a stick of dynamite why the "overcurrent stopper" is named after a long gunpowder-infused cord! Traffic engineers shouldn't refer to "groups of cars" as "platoons" (they're not in the military!), and software developers should stop talking about "DDOS" and just say "lots of computers hitting my server at once"!

In all seriousness: jargon exists because it's useful to be able to refer to something that you use a lot conscisely and precisely. Your proposed replacements are not concise or precise, and they only solve the non-problem of people not understanding the etymology of the jargon. Part of learning a trade is learning the jargon associated with it, and that's true for every trade.

Ignoring the computers is reasonable, but why ignore experts in well understood noncontroversial fields?
Yeah while I'm sure the developers that were asked to just grab the code and make it work wasn't their favorite job, I think the bigger one is further down - Github developers being tasked with reverse-engineering an open source product to create a closed source clone.

I would've respected GH more if they just used Sourcegraph and instead spent those developers on improving the open source product itself. But, I suspect that Github / Microsoft would then need a locked down license that e.g. Sourcegraph would forever remain open source, or that GH gets free licenses if they ever went closed source, or whatever.
You can do basic validation on the frontend. The problem is if you do too much you end up with two sets of, possibly subtly different, rules that you need to maintain.
Is Photoshop against the basic ethic of most artists? Are only cave paintings real art?
There things worse than toasts: hidden slide panels. They are basically hidden toasts that are necessary for some actions and are completely unintuitive, unfindable and undiscoverable. My worst experience was with waze using the cellphone of someone else; I had to do something (don't remember what) and just stared at the screen (like a retard) trying to guess what I had to do; the person eventually got the phone, slid the hidden panel from the right and showed me what I had to do.

I understand how much this saves space, but it is absolutely ridiculous! How does an UX expert expects someone to guess that? Are current UI's supposed to be used by people who behave like children poking everywhere to discover things?
I agree. In the first example, you would assume the action completed even if you missed the toast. But in case you did notice it, that gives you a confirmation. Suboptimal? Maybe.

But the proposed solution is clearly worse, unless the loading circle turns into a tick to show completion

If you select an obscure artist in spotify, the group of people that listen to those might have a few more obscure artists in common. That has worked for me a few times where I go down a rabbit hole of some pretty obscure stuff that is all connected somehow.

But you are right that none of this stuff is perfect.
> … to be the most efficient

I assume you mean financial efficient. I personally suspect that getting resources out of the ground and to consumers would be a different usage of the word efficient.

Financial efficiency isn’t the same as being efficient in resource utilisation.

The capitalistic systems produces much waste in terms of resources and little or no waste in terms of capital.

> u.isAdult()

Being adult is not a property of the user but of the jurisdiction that the user is in. In some places or some purposes it is 18 but it could be, e.g., 21 for other purposes.

If you software is not going to just run on the USA it is not a good idea to implement isAdult in the user but in a separated entity that contains data about purpose and location.
For a start, it supports TypeScript. And it can install npm packages. And you get all the node.js APIs: for example, you can read/write files on the local hard drive.
As usual, the answer is complex and depends on degree, and the element of honesty in the artistic work. There were dishonest works before AI, but it makes it much easier.
I know this isn't necessarily a crowd primed for this comment, but it's the truth so here we go:

I’m apparently surrounded by like-minded people. If humans were smart, we’d listen to the smart people. We’d use our unprecedented abundance to fix the climate, malaria, elections, pollution, etc. But we’re not smart. 50% of people will remain dumber than the average person. And 100% of us will pretend like we’re not the problem.

This is the basics of fascist/eugenicist rhetoric. The author is talking in good faith obviously, or at least is trying to, but I just don't see any justification. Akrasia is a problem and always has been, but that doesn't mean that people "don't listen to advice". Most people on here have jobs, they pay their rent/mortgages every month, they read to their kids when they're able, and some of us even floss (not me, but someone, right?). 50% of humans are dumber than average, and the average is very high -- and getting higher by the year. And that's assuming there's even such a clear-cut thing as "height" or "intellectual superiority" in this context, which I personally doubt.

I think the machines will be thrilled to meet us, unless they're trained on defeatist talk like this.

Either way, well written, thanks for sharing! Definitely thought provoking.

Google can't create a good spam filter, because enough users actually want to receive spam.

A machine can't distinguish between male enhancement pill spam and a newsletter recommending alex jones' supplements.

Or between "join our MLM today" and emails from recruiters.

Or between sales people sending cold emails and social engineering.

Google should ban both, but if they did, there'd be a huge outrage from idiots that actually want to receive content that's basically indistinguishable.

The way to look at it: The Go toolchain is just another dependency to your project, declared in go.mod, just like the other modules, and handled accordingly (download, verification etc.)
Try these:

Take a SQL schema, and ask AI to generate crud endpoints for the schema, then sit down and code it by yourself. Then try generating client side actions and state management for those endpoints. Time yourself, and compare how long it takes you. Even if you're fast and you cut and paste from template work and quickly hand edit, the AI will be done and on a smoke break before you're even a quarter of the way through.

Ask the AI to generate correctly typed seed data for your database, using realistic values. Again, the AI will be done long before you.

Try porting a library of helper functions from one language to another. This is another task where AI will win handily

Also, ask AI to write unit tests with mocks for your existing code. It's not amazing at integration tests but with mocks in play it slays.

It's worth saying the original Playstation was entirely fixed point. You can go surprisingly far with it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic#Softwar...

I spent so much of the early stage of my career doing early mobile stuff I practically still think in fixed point, and always have to adjust to floats, for example, fixed point results can be compared exactly while with floats that is not a great idea. TeX uses fixed point entirely because it was reproducible across machines in an era where floating point was not.

I also enjoyed shapez 1 more and don't really like this 3D version as much. The controls are... difficult, I think.

I do other 3D factory/sim games fine (like Dyson Sphere Program or Cities Skylines or hybrid transportation games), but IMO the stacking of shapez 2 is more a gimmicky distraction than an actually enjoyable element. It's really annoying having to route things in different levels because the UI doesn't make it easy to see what is happening. Instead of natural ramps like in other games you have these elevators and anchors that are hard to control.
Which defeats the point because you have to interact with your phone.

It is not strange at all the inefficiency of the government has compounded to an extent such that even the military can not produce weapons to standards. SpaceX is one of the few shinning beacons of the Pax Americana if they kill SpaceX and continue to support these dying businesses without stringent reforms or refuse to allow their competitors China will overtake us. You can already see this happening where NASA of today just moves money from the government to private companies(but the ones truly doing innovation and delivering are the private companies) the technical capabilities of NASA now exist in the past while the China National Space Administration has been steadily improving their technical capabilities while also supporting a burgeoning private space industry. The financialization of US economy is making it such that those that produce money with the least actual value are being prioritized, while it different in China. The engineering legacy is already gone substantially, we cannnot even produce naval destroyers to spec even after multiple delays and after being overbudget, while China is cranking out better and better ships and using the engineering legacy of ship building to make naval destroyers. The Naval battlefield has changed whereby the previously overpowered aircraft carriers are now a huge liability with a missile costing less that $200k can destroy it (while there was a lot of spending on counter measure like the phalanx) the future is no longer of large ships.

It's baffling that people can still think this way in 2024. Almost none of Musk's forecasts, estimates, or product promises have been delivered on time. His history is basically a long list of missed deadlines. Believing that Musk is a good leader is pure delusion, especially now.

I wonder if this was corruption or plain incompetence/miscommunication - seems like if you have lots of "vendors" that you transact with, if you don't use some centralized system of truth, then you're liable to have stuff like this happen occasionally.
> Many people are their worst enemies...

True.

> ... and the sole path to wellness is to fight their impulsions and following external guidance, personalized or general social pressure.

That won't work. There's too much out there, too many people saying too many things. There is some external guidance and social pressure that will point in helpful directions, and there is plenty that won't. (For example, think of beer ads that try to make it "socially cool" to be drinking.)

For that matter, people have different impulses, too. Some need to be fought against, and some should be encouraged.

So people need something more than their impulses, and something more than society. They need some kind of standard, maybe even some kind of morals. (Maybe that's what you meant by "external guidance"?)

In the US, depending on the state, murder need not require intent to kill or cause death. For example, 3rd degree murder in Minnesota explicitly states that the perpetrator acted without intent to cause death [1].

The theory behind murder requiring intent is very reasonable but, at least by statute, isn't actual legal practice.

I think most "toasts" (now I know the word for it!) are redundant and useless. I usually completely miss them. I think they are generally "harmless," but they should not be used to convey crucial information.

As for the "hidden panel," I have always assumed that this is a bug, but someone may have thought it was a good idea:

I use the Apple Connect App (for managing apps on the App Store) frequently.

If I use it on my iPad Mini, in portrait mode (how I usually use it), and select one of my apps, the back button often disappears, which means that I can't select another account (I have several), or another app within the current account.

Until I physically turn the iPad sideways.

Then, a Navigator appears on the left, and I can select other apps, or change accounts.

Frankly, I'm really quite disappointed in the whole UX for the Apple App Store backend (I'm not so thrilled with the frontend, either, but I use the backend all the time). It's a bit jarring, when you think about how much care they put into the rest of the user experience on the platform.

Efficiency (in time and space). You can build a simple machine that finishes the task in five slow hours or you can parallelize, stack, route, etc. it and do it in a few minutes. Kinda a programming/logistics game in that regard, IMO.

Even in similar games like Dyson Sphere Program, you can play with cheats on (infinite or free resources) and but it's still a challenge to scale up production.

This research isnt very novel either. Transformers for sequential event handling and recommendations is a known thing. Pretty sure this is what spotify uses on their autocomplete shuffle playlist (fill in songs between your songs, similar to how autocompleting text would be)
Haven't tried with Pragtical (hard to say it out loud BTW, lol) but have had success with right-click-opening other apps that give this error. Sometimes I need to do it multiple times to open it as normal. No issues with the apps themselves, has to do with app signing (or lack thereof for many macOS apps that one just downloads from a site).

WTX: New Web Framework Written in Rust
`wtx` is, among other things, a RFC6455, RFC7541, RFC7692 and RFC9113 implementation written in Rust intended to allow the development of web applications through a built-in server framework, a built-in `PostgreSQL` connector, a built-in `WebSocket` handler and a built-in `gRPC` manager. There is also a built-in API client framework that facilitates the maintainability of large endpoints.

The unfortunate thing is they aren’t communicating the same thing.

Taking the YouTube example, the checkboxes are 100% optimistic while the toast notification indicates that the request to the backend that was fired off asynchronously was successful. With the archive message example, it is the same thing. The message is removed from the list optimistically and the toast message is representing that the message was actually archived.

I would much rather only get the toast if there is a failure to commit the change. Generally, them flashing up is a distraction from what I’m trying to accomplish. And being far on the screen from where I’m taking an action makes them even more of a distraction.
You failed to mention the word "can", which is a theoretical.

We can all Google stuff because internet is big and supports anyone's views, which means it's more important than ever to be informed and be able to infer well. Something that you seem to want to defer to sources that support your beliefs. Not nice finding that on a hacker forum but statistical outliers exist.
