While some people argue for verbose, semantic-meaning variable and function names, I believe taking this to the extreme is counterproductive, especially for internal code that could otherwise be far more terse. Like antipatterns in Java, C++, or Rust, the more stuff there is at a lower density on the screen, the harder it is to follow. For internal bits, single letter variables should be favored.

I'd prefer if we didn't tamper with ecosystems, but the reality is that our current civilization doesn't have the incentives to stop global warming (even less revert it) without major catastrophes that allow some politics and business leaders to appear as saviors instead of traitors.

We don't know the future impact of these modified corals, but we know it will be catastrophic if they disappear. IMO it would be worse to let the corals simply die.
I used to race as an amateur for almost 10 years. I saw people winning on steel frame bikes and for flat terrain the weight of the bike is not that important. Carbon is light indeed, but the frame as a percent of the overall bike can be quite low, as low as 25%. Half a kilo in a 12 kg MTB is insignificant except pro races.

Windows 10 was a bit shit at launch too. They hadn't quite figured out how to orchestrate forced updates (e.g. no active hours or pausing updates for a week). The Start Menu was a bit of a mess for the first 5 years. Cortana was shoved down your throat. Dark mode wasn't even a thing. HDR support was basically non-existent and DPI support was ass. "Precision touchpad" support wasn't a thing, the Settings vs Control Panel split was way worse, things like WSL weren't a thing, notifications in Action Center were horrible to manage. The new Windows Terminal app hadn't been made yet... ssh/sftp wasn't built in.

What I 100% expect with every new release of Windows is that they'll have some genuinely good ideas, remove or break a ton of existing workflows trying to implement those changes but only getting them halfway to where they need to go, and then fix it over the coming years. E.g. with Windows 11 they rewrote the taskbar and it was missing drag and drop, positioning, clocks on multiple monitors, useful right click shortcuts on the taskbar, "Never Combine" to not group windows, the smaller taskbar, showing the text label next to things in the taskbar, and probably more I'm forgetting. At this point nearly all of those are fixed (small taskbar is about to be, position is still unthinkable for now apparently).

Typically I'll just move to the latest. Yeah, it'll suck to adjust at first, but quickly it'll improve and start to have features beyond the first. Some prefer to hang on to the previous one until it drops so the next one is already pretty fixed up. Either way, most folks end up liking the older versions even though most folks hate them at the start. Part of that is also rose colored glasses too though.

> You can, but not to the same degree. Because it's just a matter of distance and density.

Agreed, but you don't actually need the same amount for the suburban demographic.

For example where my friend lived in Manhattan (and I spent most weekends) we could walk to tons and tons of bars, multiple clubs, music venues and such, in addition to stores for food/medicine/etc. The sheer volume of that can't be replicated in a suburb.

But.. it is also not needed. Ones moves to the suburb when being a bit older, less single and more parent. So I don't need to be able to walk to dozens of bars anymore.

> That's not possible in a suburb. I can't walk to the office, or the store, or the bank, or whatever.

Sure it's possible. Like I said in original comment, that's where I live, a walkable suburb. I can walk/bike to the office, two supermarkets, theater, daycare, middle school, movies, at least 3 banks, library, pharmacies, clothing stores, restaurants and many other specialty stores I'm not listing. Also a couple city parks and a state park. The only thing in short supply are bars (one brewery within walking distance) and music venues (one bar/restaurant/live music hall within walking distance). But given the older married parent demographic, that's plenty for me.
The (biggest) problem that keeps airships from practical use is that they are huge sails. Big sails mean even small amounts of wind can be powerful forces acting on the airship. In the air a big push from the wind might be safely managed, but if you're near anything solid such as the ground, you can get smashed to bits.

To safely operate a suitably efficient (large) airship, we'd need both huge specialized docks with extremely strong mooring structures to keep wind from smashing the airship into whatever is near it, and a system (such as a 3-axis propulsion system on the airship) that is capable of counteracting wind force acting on the airship when it's near the ground or other solid objects and not docked.

Despite the many attractive advantages of airships, there's yet been anything like a good solution to this problem. There are other challenges too (what do you do when you drop off your cargo and the airship wants to shoot up into the air? Vent gas? Rapidly compress your gas?), this is just the biggest.

Same for manually hosting it and an update breaking it.

Docker can be a min to packaging an application.

Appwrite is a good example of packaging a complex app nearly flawlessly with docker and making updates a little more seamless.

I continue to have my reservations about docker having used it for a long time but some applications are helpful.

It’s unrealistic to eliminate it on the basis of it not being perfect for any and all scenarios.

It makes software available to more people to be able to run locally, and I’m not sure that’s a bad thing.

It's worth noting that only several years earlier, the US aircraft industry was almost completely killed by the Wright's patents and licensing practices.

The UK, France (especially), Italy, and others were way ahead of the US until the Feds made the Wrights share their patents to support production of arms for WW I. This led to the rise of far more innovative competitors in aircraft design and production: Curtiss, Martin, Lockheed, Boeing, etc., which rapidly eclipsed the Wright company's fossilized and already obsolete technology. (Note that Wright was soon more or less forced to merge with Curtiss...)

During COVID confinement, I was hopeful home office would stay. The vast majority of office jobs don't need people sat at a specific location, home office alone reduced the carbon footprint of every major city. A rare instance where personal change significantly benefits both the environment and our lives.

I'm painfully aware that the home office is much more harder to secure than regular office, but it seems like efforts to improve it have stalled since de pandemic.
The only folks expecting the content to "magically continue to exist" are folks who lack information. But folks who do have information may also be totally fine with neither paying for content nor seeing ads; for a lot of us, the content that we watch is pretty transitive and if it went away tomorrow because no one watched any ads, we'd go do something else.
Nope, and only off by a few orders of magnitude.
The problem is if a problem is formulated like this: "There are 7 pirates on a ship and 61 cannon balls, ..." (doesn't matter what the problem is: say the solution involves some dynamic programming algorithm) and that the LLM then finds a problem starting with:

"There are 7 cats in a playground and 61 plushies, ..." (insert basically the same problem, requiring the same solution)

Well... Then the LLM shall be able to solve it.

And many people will consider it's a novel problem and hence a resounding success.

I mean: it is a success, but not anywhere near as impressive as most think.

Money talks. Signing the PPA is a legally binding contract to buy the power, so the power companies will them be willing to build the plant, knowing that there's guaranteed demand. Without the PPA, there's no guaranteed demand, and the powerplant won't get built.

> A car designed by insects would have six wheels, but then people would reject the model as ugly.

I doubt this. There are physics issues involved with 6 wheels.

First off, where are those extra wheels going? Dually pickup trucks exist, but that's just so they can carry heavy loads.

If you put them anywhere other than close to the existing tires, unless you attach some sort of steering mechanism, or perhaps use casters, turning becomes a huge problem as those tires would have to skid.

No, we use 4 tires because it's the most stable and efficient number of tires to use unless you need to carry a ton of extra weight.
No. Not from my point of view, as someone who has a couple of dozen WordPress clients.

"Someone" needs a CMS that's able to be securely, performantly, and professionally managed by hosting companies, and that is as easy for small and medium businesses to use and as easy to find experienced staff and agencies to help run.

We do not recommend as use WordPress because of it's "solid architecture" or "isolation/sandboxing" or it's FE Dev buzzword de jour use of "exciting" "new" technology.

We recommend it because the Widget Factory owner can probably get one of his grandkids or niece/nephews to act as website editor for him, or the piano teacher can get one of their students to help out with their website in return for discounted lessons, or the online store owner can easily employ someone with WordPress admin experience to get themselves off eBay/Marketplace and onto their own website. Or the lawyer/plumber/accountant/whoever's office manager or "that young staff member who's good with computers" can run Wordpress - perhaps with assistance of their existing outside IT consultants to install/manage it and perhaps setup/customise it initially.

None of those people care about whether it's written in Rust, or uses WASM, or is dockerized and autoscaling. Their #1 problem is "can I quickly update my website if I find an error or if I have to put an important message to my customers on my homepage?" #2 is "can I easily learn how to do simple edits to my site, and can I easily find employees can work with it, and can I finb contractors/agencies who'll be able to help with more complex changes/updated?" and somewhere down below #1 is "is my site at least reasonably secure from being hacked, and if it is hacked can I get it restored/repaired rapidly".

There are dozens or hundreds of "better technology choices" that WordPress these days. It's really hard to find a "better business choice" for a lot of projects though.
So by that logic nobody has any DNA in common with neanderthals, right? Try again. You’re missing a big, big, gotcha.

Given that the event was about the 'future of autonomy', yes people were expecting that products presented are autonomous. A lot of people were duped and a lot of media coverage assumed it was all autonomous.

But hey, it's coming from a company that's selling something called Full Self Driving for the past 10 years, so the deception is not really that surprising.

Makes you wonder how Trevor Milton feels about all this - after all, they only stated in the infamous video that the truck is 'in motion' - never advertised it's 100% an 'autonomous motion' :)
Some underinformed people weren't cognisant of the exact details, and assumed because Khelif is a male competing in the women's division, that this implies Khelif has a transgender identity. When in fact, Khelif described accusations of this as "a big shame for my family, for the honor of my family, for the honor of Algeria, for the women of Algeria and especially the Arab world."

Nonetheless, the main reason that people opposed Khelif (and Lin) competing in women's boxing is precisely the same reason as to oppose transwomen competing in women's sports: because they are male.

So while for some Twitter users the exact details may have been wrong, the underlying principle was the same. That is, fairness and safety for female athletes.

I'm concerned that section 2.2.1 is a misreading of Pereira et al.

[29] "… the performance of a language is influenced by the quality of its compiler, virtual machine, garbage collector, available libraries, etc."

In that context it seems plain that "language" must be understood as a shortening of "language implementation."

> "For instance, Pereira et al. treat Ruby and JRuby as different languages, while they are in fact two separate implementations of the same Ruby language."

It seems to me that Pereira et al. treat Ruby and JRuby as different "language implementations" and compare each one independently against the other language implementations.

(In the "corpus of small benchmark implementations" it was simply convenient to keep separate programs for Ruby and JRuby.)
Project Euler is a lot of fun if you like a dash of math in your programming. The problems generally won't apply to your job or even to interviews, so don't go in expecting that.

My favorite is https://projecteuler.net/problem=113, "Non-Bouncy Numbers." It takes some clever tricks to figure out but doesn't require any significant background knowledge, and the optimizations required to get it to run within 60 seconds (at least for my approach) all felt reasonable.

> Having to deal with times across the globe is the anomaly, not the norm

True, so far. But the world becomes a little more global every year, which makes the time zone friction grow.

My guess is that using both local and UTC time will become very common within 1-2 decades. As in "The raid starts at 11:00 PST/20:00 UTC".
False. I went into a first visit at a doctor office one time and after spending about five minutes total with me he sent me home with a BP Rx. No mention of verifying it with home readings to make sure I really need it and he didn't even bother giving me standard advice like lose weight. Most other doctors did only slightly better. Insurance only reimburses for like 10 minutes of their time, half of which is spent updating records, so it's unsurprising they don't have time to properly handle your problem.

My theory is that to outsiders software development looks closer to other generic computer based desk jobs than to the job of a writer or physical builder, so to them it’s less obvious that programming needs “flow” too.

For the lazy:

* An ocean liner provides transportation between a source and a destination. Historically they were often used to transport mail, thus RMS and variations (Royal Mail [Motor] Ship/Vessel; "Motor" was used when most ships were steamships. I can't find a canonical answer for "vessel" but examples tend to be small ships with short routes to islands, rather than going between continents).

* A cruise ship runs around in a circle visiting tourist spots, and generally don't have to be built as strongly.

Recent ocean liners operate as cruise ships for part of the year.
Correct, and that's why NASA outsourced funding.
