Going past windows 7 the trend moving from graphical/textured UI chrome to minimalist/hidden elements, scrollbars has been one of the big 'casualties' for me. When it's just a solid gray there's very little to distinguish it from the content, and it doesn't help readability if the bar is meant to show what proportion of the whole document you're viewing. As much as some people hated it, going back further to winxp where they had color in the UI made contrast better again (and you could customize the theme in the win3.x/9x windows), or third party themes if you were prepared to lightly mess with OS files.

Non of these conflicts called genocides was instigated by those that allegedly are now the victims of genocide, however vindictive the response would be. There are hard facts that dispute these claims and in my opinion they cannot be seriously made.

Also Israel doesn't try to commit genocide. Words do mean something.

The result will be that more will just become numb to accusations of genocide, because it might just mean legitimate defense.

This summer I spent an hour watching a pair of magpies harass a fox. The fox was trying to sunbathe, but the magpies kept dive-bombing it, pecking its tail, and landing in front of it then flying away just as the fox went for them, all while making a chattering sound that seemed a lot like laughter.
I've heard theories that they do this as revenge for stolen eggs, or to chase foxes away from their nests, but this was in an open patch of ground far from where they nest and it really looked to me that they were just teasing it for fun.

I'd rather be employed with San Francisco wages, but living in Vienna. That'd actually make it a little more comfortable to be paying Austrian taxes ..

But no amount of wage hike would lure me to live in San Francisco. Its a shit-hole not just because of social policies ..

The goal of physics isn't to produce video games -- that a video game can generate a frame using unphysical formulae and unphysical processes (eg., rasterisation) does not invalidate physics.

There's linguistics which produces descriptive theories of the practice of language. There's "computational linguistics" which aims to build discrete algorithmic models of language. Both of these are interested in explanations of actual physical phenomena.

Machine Learning is largely an engineering discipline which, like video games, can generate output using any method which will convince a human user. Indeed, often more radically, ML works by replaying variations of past convincing output rather than have any explicit simulation involved at all.

Thus there's no sense in which LLMs supercede linguistics, nor somehow computational linguistics superseding this.

This would be like claiming rasterisation means we should retire optics and the physics of light.

The important thing to understand about why AVX512 is a big deal is not the width. AVX512 adds new instructions and new instruction encodings. They doubled the number of registers (16->32), and added mask registers that allow you to remove special cases at the end of loops when the array is not a multiple of the vector width. And there is piles for new permutation operations and integer operations that allow it to be useful in more cases.

The part Intel struggles with is that in many places if they had the 256-bit max width but all the new operations then they could build a machine that is faster than the 512-bit version. (assuming the same code was written for both vector widths) The reason is the ALUs could be faster and you could have more of them.
There was no deception. He said those words exactly: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/30/dona...

Compare the wealth of the 1st District with that of the 7th .. or 15th .. Vienna's districts are literally a class system, encoded in the streets. And then compare the easier-walking districts, the ones designed for horses (i.e. wealth) versus the ones on the peripheral, and see what the quality of street life is like ..
On the demand side - but how would automation/AI/robotics impact the supply/production side (i.e. will we replace the unborn would-be new workers with new robots)?
Congratulations, you're a sensible human being who has figured out that listening to your body and intuition works much better than all these "optimal" solutions everyone is chasing after. I've suspected for a long time that much of ergonomics is just snake oil and hardly based on any evidence at all. If sitting upright or in some specific allegedly ergonomic position is making me feel tense and wears me out, how is that helpful? I prefer to go with what millions of years of evolution have coded in me. Fortunately I don't have a desk job anymore so it's not of much concern to me.
> You need to be brainwashed to say that Americans weapon systems were a gentle hand in Gaza.

They were. Putin would just have used a month or two of sustained artillery bombardment from within Israel until everything stopped moving for a week or two. And done the same to the West Bank for good measure.
> Under a democracy, the law is to the will of the people. Why do the people of the USA want sodomy laws in the first place?

They don’t, generally. They did a long time ago, when those laws were enacted. Since then sentiments have changed, the laws have been found unconstitutional and are no longer enforced, but some remain on the books because it takes time, money and effort to remove them.

I agree with you that it would be neater if they were all repealed, and it would remove the (relatively minor) threat from more extreme factions who do want to enforce them again, but at some point you also need to be pragmatic.
While I appreciate the flashbacks you just gave me, I don't think the enshittifaction of GUI:s is orthogonal to the evolution in not having to deal with hardware issues any more.

Wealth inequality in Europe is seldom discussed unfortunately. Everyone focuses on income inequality to demonize well earners and justify taxing them more to pay for the mistakes of politicians and the sinking welfare system, but ignores all that untaxed wealth stashed away in the hands of a few.

Average salary in Austria after taxes is something like 2k/month yet the country is full of flashy cars and houses costs from several hundreds of thousands to millions of Euros. How is that possible? You have mediocre EU salaries at San Diego house prices. Rents are reasonable but I don't see how people are gonna be able to also afford rent from retirement pensions.
IMO we need to move past the follower/following model on social media.

Having followers is the best way to get followers, which creates a fame snowball.

The result is that a few uploads get a bunch of attention, and most uploads get very little attention. The typical user feels lonely, isolated, neglected. Jealously means the attention-rich users, the ones with lots of followers, become targets for bullies -- and that leaves them miserable too. No one is happy.

Platforms with a more equal distribution of attention, such as IRC, didn't have these problems.

Virality was a mistake.
> but some remain on the books because it takes time, money and effort to remove them.

If it takes appreciable amount of time, money, and effort to no longer agree to something everyone already agrees that they no longer want to agree to, the people really need to step back and think about they they are making it so hard on themselves for no reason. Granted, we're talking about people who did agree to outlaw sodomy, so perhaps not the sharpest tools in the shed. But, still, how did the tools end up so dull?

>> Ok, you can hold to the position that no-one has a fundamental right to enjoyment of their sexual and romantic lives

>I could, but why would I?

Hmm, I do not understand your position then. To me, if you are saying that anti-sodomy laws should be enforced on democratic grounds (which I think is what you are saying, even though you obviously don't agree with such laws yourself), then you are taking the position that people have no fundamental right to enjoy their sexual and romantic lives and that this area is fair game for arbitrary legislation.

Perhaps you could clarify whether you actually do think that the US should start enforcing these laws.

>Yes, technically a democracy can pass whatever arbitrary laws it wants

And technically the Supreme Court can rule any law unconstitutional...

As I male, I paid for mine (Gardasil-9, protecting against 9 types of HPV).

There are two reasons: one is for personal protection (and most throat cancers are caused by HPV, odds which are likely much more skewed if one does not smoke), and the other is epidemiological - protecting other people, dear ones directly, and the rest of the population by extension.

The myth that it is "only for teenagers" or "before sexual interactions" is a myth. I mean, the ideal scenario is to vaccinate before any potential for infection. Yet, plans to have any sex life it is beneficial. AFAIK, it even helps to clear out existing infections (and well, 80% of men and 90% of women get HPV at least once in their lifetime).

Never been to Vienna so I definitely wouldn't comment on its quality, but this comment is very very far from convincing to me, more like entitled.

"people are poor" - maybe, I've not looked at any stat so I'll believe you.

"entrepreneurs are considered third class at best" - how is that related to how liveable a city is? And yes, american-startup-style entrepreneurship isn't as encouraged everywhere in the world, personally I think that's a good thing.

"tech people with means are negatively viewed both by the young population and the old" - Again, what's that to do with how liveable Vienna is? Also I'm not surprised. I'm a tech person myself and I don't have a great view of tech people. There's good reasons for that.

"Of course, there is no AC" - a lot of Europe doesn't really use AC (eg France). Vienna isn't even a particularly hot city.
It already is harming sales apparently, little to no of the reviews on the new iphone even mention AI even though they spent a lot of money marketing for it. It even seems to hurt its sales.

Are there any products which have been successful and made with no-code tools? Seems like I'm always seeing no-code tools, but never any proper products made with them.

Sure there are website builders like wix which are used for personal blogs and such - but that's not really what I'm asking about. Or else there's wordpress: but I'm loathe to call wordpress no-code because of the amount of complexity in managing plugins - we've got whole "engineering" roles dedicated to tweaking wp settings.

Surely this whole idea of "You don't have to write code" quickly turns into "You can't change/fix the product" and that's a whole other problem.

I see lots of comments about how good VB6 was. I agree it made programming super-easy and practical.

However, it is evident to me how the whole thing fell appart by the late 2000's, and now we have much more powerful, yet complex programming environments:

- Rust, C, C++: Extremely complex but powerful.

- HTML, JS, CSS: You have to learn 3 different technologies and won't be able to leverage the easy, powerful native APIs the OS provides. It's cross-platform though.

- .net: Not as easy as VB6 (and C# becomes actually more and more complex, more powerful as well, though). You have to learn XAML as WinForms is still a thing but considered legacy.

- Python: Easy (maybe more than VB, but not by much?), but no native, easy GUI toolkit for Windows. There are native bindings for GTK, but Linux is not a big desktop platform, and more so in business, and still GTK is much, much more complex than VB6 + Winforms + COM.

So basically, it seems we have traded easy of use and practicality for power/performance and cross-platform compatibility? What do you guys think?
> I'd rather be "unemployed" in San Francisco because of a far better culture

I like how you put "unemployed" in quotes. I think many unemployed people would love to also have the quotes. The person you replied to referred I think to actual no-quotes unemployed, not the "building my startup" type of unemployed.

Is this supposed to work? It does not for me. Probabbly my privacy settings are prohibitive for it?

And why is this mania putting everything into the browser that does not belong there? Is the reason putting there is just to have it there? Why not desktop app? Any sensible reason? Is it for pepole not owning a computer and have to fly from borrowed one to borrowed one where only the browser access is stable for them? So many things are particular with browsers for the purpose navigating the web or other source of information that it negatively interferes with usability for generic purpose app if not running the extra miles to get a workaround for it (and most do not care to run the extra miles). Pushing the wrong button in the browser f.s up something and others are cumbersome too, back utton, refresh, context menus, working with files, mixed with anything else in the tabs, even the address bar is in the way, etc. The few sensible web apps were either narrow use trivial ones doing a simple task thing mostly accessing a client service (human client) or put into a thin client (now its a computer) for clarity. Not user friendly at all. But hey, today's computer "engineers" give no fuck for the user but all for the technology, we all must enjoy that! (No)
Sadly that doesn’t work with Indic text. Take for example, my name:

<div style=font-size:10em><span style=color:#e01b24>క</span><span style=color:#5e5c64>్</span><span style=color:#e66100>ర</span><span style=color:#e5a50a>ి</span><span style=color:#26a269>స</span><span style=color:#1a5fb4>్</span></div>

Ideally it’d render about the same as my manual splitting/colouring: https://temp.chrismorgan.info/%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0....

Now sometimes you can colour parts differently: if you stick with the inherent vowel on a conjunct, here making it LETTER KA, SIGN VIRAMA, LETTER RA, ditching the VOWEL SIGN I, then essentially the K from KA and the A from RA will be coloured LETTER KA, and the R from LETTER RA will be coloured SIGN VIRAMA. I haven’t decided yet if that’s an improvement! But this split colouring I only see in Dropflow—I’m not experiencing it in Firefox or Chromium, both of which do split Arabic colouring.
Pretty much every city in the world is like that - tell someone where you live and they'll assess you as to wealth/class?
I find the "modern" (if I can call it that) approach to cross-platform interesting: interoperability between languages makes it possible to share a library between multiple platforms when it makes sense. Until now I was exclusively doing that with C++ (possibly with a C API), but obviously C++ is never the preferred language when it is itself not necessary.

My concern, however, is about the cost of doing this. Say I have an easy way to call my Kotlin library from Swift in a mobile app, doesn't it mean that now my iOS app will load some kind of JVM (I don't know what would run on iOS)? Similarly, if I could call Swift from an Android app, wouldn't it load some kind of Swift runtime? It all brings overhead, right?

I guess I fear that someday, developers will routinely depend on e.g. a Swift library, that will depend on a Kotlin library (loading some JVM), that will itself use JNI to call some C++. Just like with modern package managers, programs quickly end up having 100+ transitive dependencies (even with just a few direct dependencies) just because it was "too easy" for the developer not to care.
How is this different than any other city in the world though?
We have no evidence that plants have consciousness, but then our only evidence that even other humans have consciousness is that they are somewhat similar to ourselves. We cannot detect it directly. If there were consciousness in the world that was significantly different to our own then we likely would be ignorant of it.
My hypothesis is that F# is somewhat self selecting at senior/lead dev's who would have a lot of choice in the language that they get to choose not the army of "code monkey's" as you call them. Generally this would mean higher code quality on average.

> better development platform

Possibly true, dependant on what you're trying to develop.

> better digital audio system

ProTools Linux?

Cubase Linux?

Ableton Live Linux?

The vast majority of plugins for above DAWs?

If you're talking about purely the system, then it's all moot without having some software for audio professionals to run on it.

> better game platform

Now I know you're trolling. edit: sorry I forgot the "Compared to Mac?" part at the beginning, this is probably true, but I have zero experience gaming on Mac or Linux.
I suspect most of the low code products are internal-only products and proof of concept apps. Like spreadsheets, other teams find it empowering to be able to make automations without getting the engineering team involved.
> Hmm, I do not understand your position then.

You don't say... What I don't understand how you ended up writing so many words without taking the time to understand. How does one end up there?

> then you are taking the position that people have no fundamental right to enjoy their sexual and romantic lives and that this area is fair game for arbitrary legislation.

If I said the sky is blue, do you think I am taking the position that nighthawks don't deserve to stay up late to see the dark night sky? I don't exactly follow your logic. Perhaps you could explain it for us? Frankly, I'm not sure why I would take a "position" in the first place. That seems like a pointless waste of time.
