Then again, I wouldn't say Delphi was (is?) "low code". Certainly easier to use than some of the alternatives available for building GUI applications at the time (looking at you "Visual" C++!), but that just took care of the boilerplate, you still had to code the application's business logic.
Or: we need scroll-wrapper for printed documents.

Surprised it's only a fifth. Wonder if that number was higher before sites like Facebook went so hard on the 'real identity' stuff?

Still, as the old saying goes, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog"
I wonder how this fails then:

When I worked for a drug company everything had to be documented and proceduralised. Because if you ask the FDA if you can sell your pills to the public they will ask how you know they're safe. And if you keep asking enough why's you get down to whether you can trust the output of computers. So every computer's build process and software stack has to be to documented and approved procedure so that you have a wad of paper to show them, when they ask that 'why'.
It seems reasonable that if you're asking to send someone to jail based on the output of a computer you should be able to ask for reasonable proof that the output is correct.

I'm not seeing python creating a self-pipe for `loop.add_signal_handler`.

edit: Oh, it uses `signal.set_wakeup_fd`, interesting.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/signal.html#signal.set_wak...

edit2: it looks like the fd comes from a self-socket, but yeah, it's the same approach. The function is even called `_make_self_pipe`.

It’s always refreshing for me to hear share what they did _not_ know, especially when it’s seems like “something obvious” that they absolutely “should” have known. Thanks for being honest and open - I can personally really relate to this anecdote, and also in the context of biology, genetics, etc.
As a kid I saw a sign going into the bathroom at Sears that said "prohibited behavior not allowed". I had to ask my mom what prohibited meant and was quite surprised when she explained that it means "not allowed".
>such that it can be usefully compared with slavery.

If you think interest on a loan is even in the same world as selling a human being to the highest bidder from an auction block, then we view the world so differently that I don't imagine efficient communication is possible.

>widely acknowledge as one of the greatest minds in history.

I mean, he's simply not.

>anti-slavery arguments from that period you're aware of

Well Zeno [0] for one, and Alcidamas [1].

And I'll say again, the fact he had to pen this screed in the first place shows that his view wasn't the exclusive one. In fact it shows how middling his intellect actually was that he was unable to see past his own time and place, despite the fact that others could.

>all anti-slavery arguments use Aristotelian concepts

This is more like Aristotle's fanboys trying to shoehorn other people's natural insights into his worldview.

This is particularly true of accounting systems. Anyone who has worked in a similar environment with thousands of users on a distributed ledger.
The presumption was about mechanical instruments, from a simpler time. As computers expanded from being purely mechanical, it never got revised, which is why it is being revised now (three or four decades too late, I'll grant you, but legislation is a slow process.)
So far only two of about ten people took it in an overly literal way rather than understanding and going with the core of it so I think I'll keep aligning my bits toward them. Have a nice day.

> The punishment we have for this is unemployability and bankruptcy. It will happen by itself if you let it.

In my career, I have never seen a manager see consequences for making the decision that values "money now" vs "avoiding things going wrong later". I do not believe that it will happen by itself.
CURL isn't a bot, it's a tool. It can be part of a bot (which may or may not respect robots.txt) but it can also just act as a user agent directly for a human operator in which case it SHOULD just do what asked. Chrome doesn't follow robots.txt either for the same reason.
Definitely interesting, if not impressive. I get how generating 100 images each time to maximize getting the right output makes sense, but it just feels a bit unfortunate. I do think that this is a pretty cool project on the whole. Good luck!
I recently wrote an article on this topic, focused on the power law dynamics that leave such a small amount of room at the top of the industry: https://www.quantable.com/analytics/power-laws-why-our-new-a...

I don't personally think it's new vs. old as much as the power law distribution coupled with the fact that old music is more available and promoted than ever.
Plus the algorithms are focused on giving us more of the same thing we have shown it we like rather than new music discovery.
A frequent flier is still more likely to die in a car accident than airplane crash. Hell, even airline pilots are more likely to die driving to work than in their planes. You have to get to risky GA practices before the risk of dying in the plane dominates the normalised terror that our roads are.
Yeah, especially that font rendering. What has it been? 30 years? 40 years?

Yikes!
Sure, it doesn't need to up-end the whole field, but it is rather obvious that critical infrastructure should require significant compliance, particularly if it's being purchased in a public tender process where the cheapest supplier that fits the criteria is hired. Certifications like SoC 2 are already a big thing.
Interesting pricing. Who’s your customer? Agencies?
Ah, thanks, had missed that somehow!
Tough times for ADD people. It's like we're doing all we can to make their lives more miserable in this modern world, alongside the healthy.
Sorry? There have been departments of Weights and Measures for literaly millenia.

They have required certification of those sorts of items with regular inspections and anti-tampering seals.

So yes, you can challenge evidence from mechanical scales, if they haven't been properly inspected and certified at the required intervals under the regulations.

I'm sorry, but for industry-sponsored trials your figures are off by up to an order of magnitude, despite the numbers in the (18 year old) reference.

Phase I: a small biotech I know of in oncology has phase I costs in the order of $500,000 per patient; this is a higher-end cost, due to their sites being in the US (more expensive than Europe) and because as a small biotech they're had to outsource virtually every aspect of running the trial. In big pharma, per-patient costs were more like $70-100k per patient, but this was just the pure money paid patient (to the site, and external costs like drug supply and shipping) and ignored the cost of laboratory, clinical, operations, and data management work that was being done in house. All told, it would typically be hard to get even a phase I study completed for less than 10x your estimate, and this is before you consider any additional recruitment needed between dose escalation and phase III.

Phase III: again it depends on many factors, but in big pharma a trial cost of $100-200k per patient was again not unreasonable, and typical phase III trials where you're comparing to a meaningful established medicine are larger than 100-200 patients. A biotech I know of is unable to run a phase III for a promising drug without finding a partner to support the majority of the cost (which is >100m EUR in oncology) and they're not wasting money.

A less anecdotal approach is to consider the total R&D costs of companies across a given timescale, and divide by the number of successes. It's a pretty old reference too, but Matthew Herper did this in 2013. [0] Yes, there were some outliers with low costs, but you'd have to understand the details for context. The typical costs were in the hunderes of millions to billions per successful drug.

1) Is this really the case? I mean some of the popular open source project are kind of mature. So you would get some feedback, regarding some specifics of the frameworks. For sure you would learn a bit. On the other hand they are kind of "done" software, so you would not really learn how to build something new from scratch.

Not sure about the other points.
Basically iOS have become more Android like over the years. This may have helped Apple to gain more users coming from Android. But it is definitely not the old iOS vibe in terms of simplicity.

Since the beginning I have always used an analogy, Android is when Google try to bring a PC into a smaller touch screen. iOS is Apple making a Smartphone appliance with some PC like functionality.

And they are now converging in the middle.

I really like the old iOS design philosophy. All the way back to skeuomorphic style.
Doctors, Surgeons, Lawyers are able to manage it fine, software engineering could do it as well.

If you could show a constellation of unit and integration tests, well defined schemas and interfaces, for both your code and your dependencies, and a responsible engineering culture then the chances of going to jail are going to be next to nil.

People recoil at the idea only because they see that very very little implemented today would be work that anyone would stand by.
Personally if I'm about to go on a 500 mile trip and choosing between modes of transport on safety grounds, I'd pick the one with the highest chance of surviving that trip, which ceteris paribus is the one with the fewest incidents per mile, and not make the error of assuming that the risk of a 500 mile car journey is equal to the risk of the average 10 mile car journey the per-trip stats are based on.

(Complications like takeoff and landing might actually make a 10 mile commercial flight riskier, but that isn't an actual option. The 500 mile flight is going to work out safer in almost all circumstances though)
True. Ppl nostalgize aboutbthe 6502 but it's a PITA. Still i believe the answer toyour question is use a Macro Assembler. To collect dozens of library routines like sort, copies, fills, yoyos, etc. And work at that slightly higher level. I wish did that at the beginning of my career :) but nowadays theyre easy to find.
I am also building a piano-learning game.

I remember using WebMIDI for the interface, TonalJS for chord/theory.

From another comment, https://github.com/0xfe/vexflow looks cool, I could use it together with PIXI.js for the rendering.
Intel did layoffs of 15,000 people, doesn't really look like they're interesting in keeping domestic jobs.

While they also spent US$152B in stock buybacks the past 10-15 years.

> People will still be able to learn how to program and actually program. But if they take money or deal with people's private information, then they'll need to comply with the standards that will be regulated.

You can even have non-licensed people doing work, and a licensed individual signing off on the end result. They would need to review the designs and work to make sure they agree with how the work was done, because it's their license on the line if something goes wrong because of bad craftsmanship.
In this case, they’re not fully determined by distance.

Airline travel is much riskier in takeoff and landing phases. A bunch of 200 mile flights is riskier than a 3500 mile trans-con trip.

Car travel is much safer on controlled access highways than 40 mph surface streets.
This oughtn't be super surprising, even the DE comment at the end - people do just have bits of maths they gel with more than others!

Even so, CT is not easy to motivate without a lot of experience in a few specific areas of maths - it's definitely a very "meta" subject (even though a lot of these blogs pretend it's super applicable to everyday engineering) and is a very different lens from the maths taught up to that point.
I drifted in and out of management up to a high level throughout my career. My last stint in my 60s was back as a coder. I was offered a management position but turned it down. If you think coding is unsatisfying you may be disappointed by management. I found it worse (but better paid).

Everyone claims it’s a spelling and grammar check, but it’s the OP trying to spread “we tried running self-managed clusters on Hetzner and it only saved us 20% while being a chore in terms of upkeep” into a full essay that causes all that annoying filler.

You’d assume people would use tools to deliver a better and well composed message; whereas most people try to use LLMs to decompress their text into an inefficient representation. Why this is I have no idea, but I’d rather have the raw unfiltered thought from a fellow human rather than someone trying to sound fancy and important.

Not to say I still find the 20% claim a little suspect.

You'd quickly get into making up new units that are aggregates but you don't call them that and there would be no end of bikeshedding about what "aggregate" means.

Isn't "distance traveled" by a car really just an aggregate of revolutions of the tires?
You don't take a plane for a 2 mile trip, when that's one of the most common uses of a car. How does comparing "per trip" make any sense when planes don't even get you to where you need?
That was exactly what I thought.

Comparison: "I sold my car. I got a good price -- 50kg of money!"

I mean, it may be true but it's an odd way of describing it.
I'm not personally aware of academic study of this (and haven't looked, admittedly,) but my experience and anecdata from others I've known says that yes it can be very affected --our attention spans are malleable and affected by our environment. When I've been going hard on (overstimulated by) low-attention span content like social media, video games, certain video content, it has a pronounced impact on my ability to focus on things longer term.

The best example is reading a book. I end up having to reread sentences and paragraphs frequently as my mind wanders from what the words are conveying. It takes a while to get into the groove of following the thread of the writing. Spending some time in a less stimulating environment like going camping, practicing meditation, or just 'unplugging' seems to be restorative to that ability to focus. Other people have shared similar experiences with me many times as this subject comes up.

Again, my experience, but this capacity for focus applies to many things beyond just reading a book, like tackling programming problems or having a deep and nuanced conversation, effectively communicating complex ideas and being able to receive the same.

IIRC they did record the date, yes. What they _didn't_ store was historical exchange rates.
You’re right. Missed it while scrolling. Regarding the parent discussion, a classic statement is also two-sided. So, you need to collect sources (debit) and destinations (credit).

It is definitely possible to make each side of transaction a different record, but you have to link them, so there would be another ID for a transaction to group later. It is always there in any case, but you are either joining while getting a balance or grouping while reconstructing transactions for reports. So, it depends on the primary load: lots of transactions to register or lots of reports to provide. Both are used.
Echoing this, I've been passively following the inquiry but haven't watched the miniseries.

I think it would leave me furious for weeks and push me into a depression rut.

I'm trying to take the whole debacle as long term inspiration to be excellent at what I do - it's tough to stay positive when so many people involved (Fujitsu, PO upper management, the original prosecution) seem entirely morally bereft, with little chance of consequence.
Because this is ISO 8601 date format, the standard date format that intentionally uses dashes to not confuse 25/01/22, 01/22/25 and 22/01/26 which are the same date in different formats

(that's why it uses dashes for dates, as for why it uses / for interval I have no idea)
We had a client insist that the SSH prompt be changed to include a half-page rambling about it being an "proprietary system" and "access prohibited for non-authorized users", something like that. Failing to include their specific wording, when we did their new staging setup, was a critical, must fix now bug.

Their argumentation was that it was a regulatory requirement and would allow for prosecution.
I'm fairly sure Fujitsu do have liability insurance in some form.

In a situation like this an insurer is strongly motivated to prove that the company is not at fault, because it doesn't want to pay the bond. The company is also strongly motivated, even though insured, to prove that the company is not at fault, because it doesn't want to have its future insurance rates affected or be sued by the insurer for breaches of terms.

Either way, it doesn't help the people affected. Not unless they have personal insurance against workplace computer system errors, in which case their insurance provider is also not motivated to pay out, or to battle a corporation as large as Fujitsu unless there's chance of a class-action suit.
> Just use SI!

Why?

Ly, parsecs and AU are intuitively useful in astronomy in a way e.g. Pm are not. They’re also both trivially convertible yet not commonly converted. If anything, quoting in SI because someone’s being dogmatic is more likely to introduce errors as everyone converts to the customary units. (Airplanes aren’t astronomical entities. But the author is making an astronomical analogy.)

Have you considered project management roles? I have taken on stints as project manager for IT projects both within the same company as well as by changing jobs. It is less of a leadership role and more of an understanding issues and resolving them through people actually doing the work.

With 15 years experience, you must have had times you were a team leader or even a designer. Those roles can be amplified and used as a stepping stone.
I feel the same way, but I grew up on a small farm. I've got a thing where I can make peace with it if the animals are treated well or as my friend calls it "one bad day policy". I drive by huge mega farms where the animals never go outside and they smell horrid (I love the smell of a small farm, but yes, they all have a smell) and can't really feel good about buying meat or dairy from these places.

It doesn't need to be too dramatic. It's already a general rule never to write your own cryptographic or financial code from scratch, you reach out for established libraries or services written by experts.

The law may require to use the ones that are certified if you are doing something sensitive. It doesn't need to be universal necessarily, but it should apply to public tenders for critical infrastructure at least.
I think it will be well paid but not fun at all. I have done similar work and at least cleaning up after bad human developers is often well paid. But time will tell.
