> Yes, all or most media does this. What's the conspiracy mindedness here?

Because it doesn't. There is zero evidence of it and a lot of evidence against.

> You believe Forbes does it as well, so how are you not conspiracy minded?

Because you can literally see the disclaimer on the Forbes article. You can't similarly buy a spot in the Journal, Times or Post.

For personal use, the only issue I take with Obj-C is how it's considerably less "batteries included" relative to Swift.

For collaborative projects on the other hand, it can become a handful to maintain if everybody contributing isn't staying on top of hygiene with null checks, type checks, etc. Swift helps to keep all of that under control.
"Immaculate Constellation"

When Ms. Boebert open her mouth, she immediately claims the earth was flat. Additionally, this wasn't just "UAP" but really a way to drum up various conspiracy theories. She keeps goes on about non-human genetic materials and creating of hybrids, and alien hideouts in the oceans.

What a uselessly glib way to summarize the state of politics today
Is it conspiratorial to think that:

1. Some news will publish anything with the goal of getting clicks. Misleading headlines.

2. News sites will try to hide whether something is sponsored content, because then sponsors are willing to pay more money.

3. News sites are influenced by their leadership views, views in the company and also by the sources that donate money to these news sites.

4 ... believing there are bunch of other incentives that can go against the exact truth or truthful bias.
It's always been mainly a cover story for experimental aircraft. That's why there are so many "UFO sightings" near the military base where they test the most experimental aircraft. Obviously.

In some cases it's just dirt on a lens or similar. Extremely occasionally there are aircraft they can't identify but in no cases is it ever clear that these are extraterrestrial.
Seems too, doesn't it.

> We should have made most people get very good at using calculators, and doing "computational math" since that's the vast majority of real world math that most people have to do.

I strongly disagree. I've seen the impact of students who used calculators to the point they limited their ability to do math. When presented with math in other fields, ones where there isn't a simple equation to plug into a calculator, they fail to process the math because they don't have the number sense. Things like looking over a few experiments in chemistry and looking for patterns become a struggle because noticing the implication that 2L of hydrogen and 1L of oxygen create 2L of water vapor being the same as 2 parts hydrogen plus 1 part oxygen creates 2 part water, which then means that 2 molecules of hydrogen plush 1 molecule of oxygen create 2 molecules of water, all of this implying that 1 molecule of oxygen has to be made of some even number of oxygen atoms so that it can be split in half to make up the 2 water molecules which must have the same amount of oxygen atoms in both. (This is part of a larger series of problems relating to how chemist work out the empirical formula in the past, eventually leading to the molecular formula, and then leading to discovering molecular weight and a whole host of other properties we now know about atoms.)

Without these skills, they are able to build the techniques needed to solve newer harder problems, much less do independent work in the related fields after college.

>Imagine a world where Statistics was primarily taught with Excel/R instead of with paper. It'd be better, I promise you!

I had to take two very different stats classes back in college. One was the raw math, the other was how to plug things into a tool and get an answer. The one involving the tool was far less useful. People learned how to use the tool for simple test cases, but there was no foundation for the larger problems or critiquing certain statistical methodologies. Things like the underlying assumptions of the model weren't touched, meaning students would have had a much harder time when dealing with a population who greatly differed from the assumption.

Rote repetition may not be the most efficient way to learn something, but that doesn't mean avoiding learning it and letting a machine do it for you is better.
Where are you seeing any of those terms and caveats? The LICENSE file in the repo appears to be the unmodified GPLv3.

Disagree. Airfare has been one of the most deflationary parts of the economy this century because of budget airlines. I paid $3(plus taxes) to fly from utah to arizona because of sprit. If you fly with any regularity the rules are easy to follow, especially solo.

I've been an Mac and iOS engineer for over a decade, and none of this makes any sense to me. Everything you listed (besides the brackets) is worse in Swift than in Objective-C (Swift has real problems with live error checking in Xcode in particular, due to the additional compilation complexity since it's a significantly more complicated language).

I've observed some folks have a visceral reaction to having to use Xcode, I don't really understand it myself. I can understand being annoyed at having to use a specific IDE to write iOS and Mac apps, e.g., it's harder to bring your own text editor like you usually can, it's going to make your life a lot harder if you try to to avoid using Xcode. But comparing Xcode to any IDEs like the JetBrains IDEs I've used (mainly the discontinued AppCode), Android Studio (also JetBrains under the hood), or other similarly complex development environments like Unreal or Unity, I don't see any of these as a clear winner. Personally I'd prefer using Xcode to any of those. I suspect this comes down to just whether you like native Mac apps or not, Xcode is a native Mac app and if you like that aesthetic than you'll like Xcode. I suspect most of the dislike for Xcode is really just folks who dislike the Mac platform (e.g., the UI toolkit) overall.

That doesn't feel likely. 1 because Guardian isn't really in a position to enter a legal battle vs ~unlimited spiteful money. 2 because this is likely not enforcible if anyone actually has a reason to sue them abroad where the company has presence. It's just terms of service rather than a contract binding you in other ways - they can deny you service after you sue.
As a professional and expert I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the use of elliptic curve crypto with SSH. There was a concern (unsure of the validity) that NSA/NIST had compromised the algorithm used and ECC was unfit for 'secure' communication.

2048bit RSA has been deprecated since that declaration and while 4096bit is still viable, the smaller key-size of ed25519 is appealing.
I dunno. I don't like the idea of companies holding inquisitions on just how disabled people are, but if we're going to hold the expansive view of disabilities the article takes for granted it seems inevitable. When someone claims that they're unable to work in an office because they're suffering from a stress disorder, it's reasonable to have some followup questions about how they manage the disorder on other occasions that call for them to leave home.
Real reason: The Guardian can't handle when readers community note them using.. The Guardian.

Someone really ought to do an alternative "skin" for Objective-C. That is, define some reversible transformation that can be applied to any Objective-C program that only changes the surface-level details but otherwise results in mapping the exact same program into the later stages of the compiler (and the section of programmers' mental pipeline that comes after the part where their eyeballs and sense of taste are concerned). It's important that the reversible part be adhered to.

It's really kind of a bummer that we don't have well-known examples of "skinnable" programming languages already. The closest we get are the ones that let you choose your set of keywords for different locales in case you don't want to work with an English-based PL and those block based languages that let you manipulate them as blocks or edit the textual form. I firmly believe that PL skinning would really benefit so many otherwise worthwhile languages that get short-shrift because of negative reactions to the surface-level details. I'm referring in particular languages like those in the Pascal family. (You could also conceive of e.g. a skin for Golang that doesn't have leading caps be the determiner for whether a function is public or not. There are lots of applications for this, and the variations are a non-issue when you have an ecosystem with strong norms about applying a code formatter (like gofmt), which can dictate the format of the canonical on-disk representation.)
The logic of moving from Twitter to Threads is incomprehensible to me. You're supposed to leave a crappy giant service for a startup that you can expect to be anti-hostile for a good while as it needs to build a user base. And 4-5 years later if you need to repeat the cycle, so be it.

Meta may not be as shitty as Twitter, but it's still a lateral move within the same tier of shit.
It's wild how much most people rely on being in an echo chamber. It takes a psychological toll being confronted with opinions that challenge your worldview on a regular basis, especially if you cannot easily dismiss them.

I haven't seen any of the things the Guardian mentions on my feed -- it's mostly startup related, software related, finance news, and science/medical stuff with maybe ~10% of posts I come across having a political tinge (I do not seek out any political discourse in my feed). But this ratio hasn't changed much in the last few years, except that the flavor of political content has moved rightward (it started off pretty left, which I also did not seek out).
Putting up a warning (and maybe this warning should be more prominent, or some other mechanism ought to be invented if warnings are not effective) - is what we currently do to accommodate people with food allergies. Does it make sense to take peanut butter off the store shelves, and completely eradicate all nuts, dairy, and wheat out of all food products?

Okay, but why not work on making atmospheric methane more useful/practical?

I have yet to be on a social media platform that isn't toxic in some form.

I think it's more likely that they'll find people who agree with their biases on Bluesky, and that's the real reason they're switching.
The license isn't relevant. It's not really "an open source app", it's just an app that happens to be open source. Put it this way: if, say, Godot became the #1 most popular game engine, that would be something for the open source community at large to celebrate. With Bluesky, we have absolutely nothing to celebrate. If anything, this is terrible news; instead of Twitter losing users to a genuinely open platform, they're just going to yet another VC-funded functionally proprietary service.
Nice!! It's too bad MC Conrad died this year, they were killer together.

I feel ChatGPT is going back to its old ways. Getting lazy again. Anyone else noticed that? Where it would put (rest of code goes here) type replies.
Sure you can. Why can't you?

Its lack of imagination and inability for upper management leadership to even consider that the way they "always done things" may no longer be the best way, and they need to evolve with the times.

For instance, find a group of teams that work on a similar function, have some of the teams RTO, and have some WFH, and see if there is any tangible difference in the results and what they are.

Thats off the top of my head. Never mind that there are actually more scientific approaches that can be used than what I've suggested, and there are researchers that are clamoring to do this as well.
Message passing belongs up there with lisp, forth and pure functional programming as paradigms that are worth learning for "the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it." But I often see that my peers in the profession lack the kind of growth mentality that enables a person to see past the alienness of less algol-y languages.

If you going to contradict someone, be specific about it. What is your "the group operation" and how is this not it? A given mathematical object can have more than one group operation defined for it.
I highly recommend taking a look at some tech starter packs, as i've found them to be very helpful in moving away from that feed. I agree that the political discussion is definitely still in that stage though
The Guardian isn’t posting there because they get called out all the time on their bad and biased reporting. The notes feature has been a nightmare for them. Also their bias is apparent based on their own messaging when they ask for donations - and this move is just another action that falls under the same bias.
This would make a great avant garde t-shirt:

This. It's not just The Guardian, though. It's pretty much all moss media. They got too used to an era where they could talk and the public couldn't talk back (or they could but only through letters to the editor which they could conveniently filter to just the voices they wanted to hear).
The very fact that some people are trying to take this seriously is probably the point he’s trying to make.

>tries to undermine the free flow and dissemination of information

Maybe I'm out of the loop here, where did the Guardian try to undermine the free flow of information?

They even went out of their way to clarify that:

And

>Our reporters will also be able to carry on using the site for news-gathering purposes, just as they use other social networks in which we do not officially engage.
Thanks for the really really long reply... You've exhaustively gone over the selling points for a wireless mouse and why people would want and buy one. I don't think any of it is in question. It's great to have a mouse that can work without a cord connected. I bought a wireless mouse (not Apple's) because I agree with you about the selling points. What I don't get is why not also allow it to be used plugged in, if the user wants to, assuming it costs about the same to put the charging port on the front, and can be done without compromising the industrial design? Why deliberately make it useless while plugged in?
Cool - everyone knows it’s possible to hack together something, or anything else. But Is it a good idea to spend time and resources starting to do that now if you haven’t been doing it with a sketchy Perl script since the 90s? Not really.

Let’s just ignore the quarterly employee feedback, historical performance records of employees before, during, and after COVID-19 lockdowns, business performance before, during , after COVID-19 lockdowns; and rates of attrition in across organizations and teams…

There is plenty of data to support why forced RTO makes no sense.
You're assuming the tech is some kind of ex-machina, something incredible (btw I'm not). In your scenario, I could ask the same: Why does the company need the government for then? Would you sell your time machine to the US or use it?

I think it's something trivial, probably boring, yet locked in some sort of confidential arrangement. I think we're on a scenario that the public should know something, but we can't know what UAPs are, and these two conditions are deadlocked.
I had to double check the date the article was posted because all 4 examples, while using ChatGPT 4o, did not give the output mentioned in the article. It seems the examples are old, which becomes obvious when you look at the chat interface of the screenshots in the article. They do not match the current ChatGPT interface. I'm sure there are new ways to do visual prompt injection though!
Have you worked with distributed counters before? It's a hard problem to solve. Typical tradeoffs are lower cardinality for exact counters.

The queue solution is pretty elegant.
That's actually a good point.

Personally I would like them to regulate what kind of info the algorithms are allowed to use to profile people. No super-focused targeting.
well - all these people believe in a big spirit in the sky, so it's not a huge stretch

The rampant "@V1" usage for GitHub Actions has always been so disturbing to me. Even better is the fact that GitHub does all of the work of showing you who is actually using the action! So just compromise the account and then start searching for workflows with authenticated web tokens to AWS or something similar.

It's probably already happening.

I was never a big user of Twitter, but I joined a Mastodon server around 2020. I am still using it regularly, but I honestly find it pretty hard to get useful content: it feels like either it's random stuff I don't care about, or always the same people I follow and don't bring me much.

At first I didn't want to try Bluesky (because of some of the founders, I suppose? I don't know, Mastodon seemed more organic), but I eventually did. And I actually like their system of "custom" algos. I have a few very interesting feeds now (international news, national news, ...).

So yeah, positively surprised by Bluesky.
But Reuters also has sponsored content and press releases, e.g.

> how do you know what trades took place, and how many shares were traded, and at what price?

Company generally has these records. Various other sources, e.g. PitchBook, compile them. In some jurisdictions (e.g. UK and India) they have to be publicly announced, though that's becoming less common.

TL; DR It is incredibly wrong to suggest private companies don't have a market cap. As in finance 101 wrong.
