Point and clicks have quite a few similar examples, the genre lends itself well to dioramas because even when it's 3D it's often a fixed camera path that you can optimize for.

Good question! I don't have hard numbers, but for larger files, I find that it can take on the order of a second to compile. It's still fast enough to get real-time feedback from TypeScript in VSCode, but it could definitely be faster. There's lots of optimization left to do; for now, we're focusing on features over speed, but we'll get to speed as well. (I am an algorithms guy after all!)

It's weird to say that about English when good communication is essential for success in any engineering field. Even if all English does is force you to read more, it's probably a win in this regard.
The ACM's insistence on clearly delineated roles and specialties seems so bizarre and misguided. Having defined roles necessarily implies some rigidity in allowed process and organizational structure, which seems out of scope for an engineering body of knowledge.

If you insist on defined roles then you end up with something like Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) or Large Scale Scrum (LeSS). Which aren't necessarily bad methodologies if you're running a huge enterprise with a complex product portfolio and need to get productive work out of mediocre resources. But not good approaches for other types of organizations. The SWEBOK, for better or worse, largely steers clear of those issues.

You can read and write HA entities via HTTP API so I think you could have done this with nothing but HA, but either way it's a fun project :)

One of my more fun HA project was scraping my snow removal service's tractor tracking API and passing the result for the closest tractor into HA so I can be notified (by voice with Alexa and/or push notification) when there's one nearby in case I need to move the car.

I’m having a real hard time understanding what you are trying to say here.
When it comes to static typing itself, I only have a minor philosophical objection to it and it's subtle enough that it wouldn't (on its own) prevent me from embracing it. The issue I have is that it generally doesn't align with my coding philosophy which resolves around simple function/method interfaces.

My focus is message-passing, as opposed to instance-passing. Passing around instances can lead to 'spooky action at a distance' if multiple parts of the code hold on to a reference of the same instance, so I avoid it as much as possible.

The main advantage of static typing is that it helps you to safely pass around complex instances, which I happen to avoid doing anyway. So while I don't see static typing as inherently harmful, it offers me diminishing returns as my coding style improves.

In JavaScript land though, TypeScript forces me to add a transpilation step which forces bundling of my code and adds complexity which causes a range of really annoying problems in various situations. As people like DHH (founder of Ruby on Rails) have shown, we have the opportunity to move away from bundling and it yields a lot of benefits... but it's not possible to do with TypeScript in its current form.

It's particularly difficult for me because I actually like the syntax of TypeScript and its concept of interfaces. Interfaces can be consistent with the idea of passing simple objects which serve as structured messages between functions/components; rather than live instances instantiated from a class. I can treat the object as named parameters and not hold on it.
Here is my setup. It is always in progress, and I keep tinkering. I treat most of my approaches as an Onion Layer of abstraction, from security to privacy to contacts. My final decision factor is to answer YES to my question, “Can I walk out of this?”

Let’s do contacts for this discussion thread.

I’m still in the Apple ecosystem, so I let the OSes (macOS, iOS, etc.) handle that. The sync is almost seamless, or rather, this is the best of all the devils. My personal and work are intertwined; thus, it is more of a tag-ish layer of friends, acquaintances, etc. Yes, sometimes I mix the joke of friend Archetype-A with friend Archetype-B and vice versa. ;-)

Last time I checked, my Contacts had almost 5,000 entries in there and I don’t mind this part growing. I’ve tried Dex[1] for about a year+ but found it slow. Their work seems to have slowed and stalled, while you expect them to “move beyond a tool that seems to be still in beta.” This was a few years ago, and hence I’ve no idea about their current situation.

I also tried Monica,[2] but she do not know how to keep things in sync. The developer/team also seems to be focussing on an office suite that has been “Coming Soon in 2002” since 2021.[3] If you want to try out Monica and see if this fits, I suggest spinning one quickly with PikaPods[4] for less than $2 a month.

Now, I’m trying out Clay[5] for broader outreach and staying in touch with people with whom I’ve interacted or connected via the networks that I was and am part of.

For the closer and final few inner layers of my Onion of Contacts, I use a simple spreadsheet inspired by Derek Sivers[6] and Jakob Greenfeld.[7] This is where I have the people with whom I can be in touch regularly (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and yearly). This is not very strict, and I tend to have these as recurring tasks in my calendar, along with my usual digital chores. The spreadsheet's contact list will ideally be between 20-100 at max. These are the ones I call/write/text regularly, wish/attend birthdays, parties, remember anecdotes, their family, etc.

> The most important is to try and use the thing you're learning in some real way or with practice.

In my experience, that's a necessary first step to learning. I need to get my hands dirty, get a feel for what I'm working with. An experience is worth a thousand pictures, which are worth a thousand words - you can't gain that basic understanding and instinct by reading, only by having all the sensory inputs of doing it.

Then it's time to read. Now you must find an expert to guide you. First, you'll have too many blind spots - you can't possibly find all that's current, you can't find the best sources efficiently, and much won't be in books yet. And without expertise yourself, you can't distinguish the worn-out theories from the evergreen standards from the unproven innovations; the promising from the unlikely from the absurd; you won't know the consensus from the fringe; the guy advocating their personal theory - maybe even a credible one - from the balanced survey of established ideas. You won't recognize when you're reading just a side of a well-known debate.
When you own a trademark that is for publishing and you let people slap your logo on their writing, you take responsibility for what they say. That's the whole point of the trademark, to take credit for publishing the words. You can't have it both ways.

The JSX spec hasn't changed for almost 10 years, and I'd guess there will never be a JSX 2.0. On the other hand, ideas for a better JSX are plentiful (check out the issues on the JSX repo, for example). If the spec never changes, how can we improve the JSX experience? Transpilation!

Civet's futuristic JSX compiles to actual spec-compliant JSX, to it's compatible with all forms of JSX, including React, Solid, etc. We'd like to support other DSLs like Astro and Svelte as well.
Does the "old age" part give the ability to better cover tracks?
Formal methods have advanced enough now that any competent software engineer should know that it is at least an option. It's obviously not practical or necessary to apply everywhere but in any sufficiently large piece of software there are likely a few modules where applying formal methods would allow for faster, higher quality delivery at lower cost. Making those trade-offs and selecting appropriate approaches is the fundamental essence of engineering as a profession.
The latter for me absolutely.

Mosquitoes have never left any kind of mark or bump or bite on my skin.

I can sometimes feel them biting (injecting? whatever) and I smack/brush them away but that's the most nuisance they cause.

I've always wondered why.
First of all, no, absolutely no article I've read portray a picture that is even a bit similar to what thunderf00t claimed in that video (especially with regards to bandwidth). It is such a weird argument to fall back on "well ground stations are still needed", as if that was his original claim. The laser interconnects work, and his arguments about alignement/bandwidth/cost were just wrong.

And yes. Even chatgpt says that it is used to prevent vibrations. It could also help cooling the launch pad I guess. But not the engines! That's a completely different thing, the engines get absolutely 0 cooling from the water. The entire point is to allow them to get as hot and powerful as possible without damaging everything around! It's almost entirely for vibration control btw, so any cooling to the launchpad isn't the point. You don't even need chatgpt to know that, it's literally something that a lot of launch platforms have done for decades.

As for frauds, how exactly is SpaceX a fraud? Again, I don't care about musk. I'm specifically talking about SpaceX. And in any case, there is so much legitimate reasons to dislike Musk that it is actually super unhelpful to have personalities like thunderf00t obsessing on something as visibly successful as spacex.

The initial cram is an interesting concept. If you insert new things to learn at a constant rate, the repetition burden grows logarithmically. Assuming you have some fixed amount of time you can devote everyday optimally your repetition burden should be constant. So the solution is making new things to learn not constant, but front loading a lot of it.
This has been a great extension but i'm always nervous about Chrome extensions and their seemingly global access to everything and some dev's willingness to sell to malware devs.

It would be interesting if Chrome let you point an extension to a github repo (and tag or commit hash) and pull source from there.

> People like R would be lost in the sea of averages because their genius would be kept shut by norms.

Well norms were in place when R did his work. Even the most strict systems have made concessions for extraordinary people. It is just that mostly average people go around claiming they'd be genius, had system not smothered their creativity.

> I wonder how many geniuses we skip on because doing the chores of homework..

I think from not many to hardly any as I can't believe if kids who are really genius can just go on for more than a decade of primary schooling without ever finding outlet for their creativity.

Yes, Civet has taken a lot of syntactic inspiration from LiveScript. At this point, I think we have most of the good features, but we might be missing some. Let us know what you think!

The big difference, of course, is that Civet fully supports TypeScript, and is up-to-date with the latest JavaScript and TypeScript features.

I think how much they're attracted to you and how much you react to bites are independent. My daughter and I can be in the same place outside for a while and she'll end up with many welts while I have nothing. I do catch them biting me sometimes but she just gets swarmed.

I'm pretty sure as a kid I got a lot more bites. My kid's a teen so I wonder if hormones play a part.
You'd need to somehow record refinements endlessly? I don't get what you're getting at.
Yeah those examples are compelling.

What might work well is a lint rule to error if a loop expression ends an actual function declaration (i.e. not an inline callback), and the function doesn’t explicitly define a return type. I think that catches almost every bad case, aside from the odd memory leak in really unusual edge cases.

I am the Drasi engineering manager, and I can assure you that any weirdness you sense is purely accidental.

The project was announced through standard Microsoft channels by Mark Russinovich and is part of the Microsoft Collaboration on GitHub. But we are predominantly an open source project from the Azure Incubations team which has a history of releasing open source projects. So we don't feel the need to constantly remind everybody that we are a Microsoft project and team.

The documentation site is missing some content that wasn't ready in time for the release but it includes AKS install instructions as well as additional Source and Reaction docs. These will be out soon.

If you know that customer that uses EKS and Cosmos Gremlin, please let us know, we would also be over the moon.

In any case, the Drasi Team is most active over on our discord channel(https://aka.ms/drasidiscord) where we would love to answer any questions you have about Drasi and help you get up and running.
The verbosity is the point! I want functions that interact with a specific expectation of global state to clearly mark that in their type, and the least complicated way to do that is my proposal. I hope someone can invent something more compelling, but my proposal is still an improvement of the status quo.

A classic example is Lilienfeld's transistor, in 1925.[1] He built the first three-terminal solid state device, a field-effect transistor, measured some gain, and patented it. But the
materials to build better ones, and the theory for understanding what was going on, were decades in the future.

Lilienfeld also invented the electrolytic capacitor, which was manufacturable at the time, so that was more immediately successful.

The naïve optical instrument will be diffraction limited. The resolving power of a lens, basically how "sharp" the resulting image will be, goes down as you decrease the size of the aperture relative to the focal length (that is, as the f-stop number goes up).

A telescope that could zoom into an exoplanet would have an f value of a kajillion or so.
To go back way further, wasn’t Sony worried about the Walkman initially because the only people who wore headphones at the time out and about tended to use them for hearing aids at the time?

It's very possible getting rid of malaria made this was a worthwhile, even given our modern knowledge, given the treatment options available at the time.

Thank you for this answer! It makes more sense now that you don’t call Drasi a CDC, I think it could be useful to clarify the distinction in the docs (perhaps also comparing and contrasting with other systems that appear to be closely related, like streaming databases).
Part of the answer is that research funding in India is predominantly from the public sector, and investments in pure science research have been low for a long time (not that applied sciences are doing much better). Thus many researchers lack the resources for experimental science whereas theoretical study is more accessible.
