What he means is that GUIs won over TUIs because they're intuitive and learnable. They might be slower to use (mostly; I'm faster in IntelliJ than vim) but that is counterbalanced by the lower training costs.

In industries with high staff turnover, it's probably better to have slower workers but with much lower training costs.
It's important to realize that even while this was published in a book in 2000, it was originally published in 1987. Many, many people were still using typewriters in 1987.
well I think it's important to point out context and to be accurate with regard to the actual quote. imprecision with words leads to misinterpretation.

I'm not clear what your larger point is though or why you're singling out my comment with your rebuttal.
Personally I have a history of patello-femoral problems, running is not the best exercise for me so if I am doing cardio I prefer the elliptical, AMT, ergometer, anything else. If I do want to walk I am going to do it in the woods around me.

I agree there's a fad today that trainers are more into weights than cardio. (Personally I love things like circuit training that are hybrids.)

I had a time period when I was under extreme stress and doing two hours a cardio, sometimes walking 12 miles a day, etc. It helped me make endless cold calls and deal with a huge amount of uncertainty.

I fainted when I was in an exercise class, working extra hard because I had a crush on the instructor, on an extremely hot day in a high humidity building after eating too much. I saw a number of doctors as a result including a cardiologist and spent a month wearing a portable EKG. I was told I had "Athlete's Heart" with visible changes on my sonogram and an abnormally low resting heart rate (so did my grandfather who died of mesothelioma around age 75 and so did President G. W. Bush who is still kicking at 78)

The Holter monitor caught about 10 bad heartbeats in the last 30 minutes of the study so I got a diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation which I'm now being treated for. (Oddly a hare-brained scheme of mine had fallen apart right at that time which was a major stress source) My doc told me it was fine for me to do 1 hour of cardio a day but not more.

>"Real Estate is Investment" should naturally lead to overproduction as investment-only properties get built to satisfy that demand—as we see in China

China had massive home overproduction because the goddamned totalitarian government told builders to build or else. It was not market forces.

How do you suppose we do that in the US? Especially with this administration?

In the US, builders don't build 100 starter homes because it is more profitable and easier to build a couple McMansions and sell them for crazy prices. THOSE are the homes that get built as "investments". No builder will benefit from producing a large supply of homes, so they don't. The market will not self correct.
It's very difficult to operate a moderate-sized event secretly. Raves used to be promoted locally (at record & clothing shops) , and then shared among friends. The venue was secret right up to the event, because you first had to drive to a number of secret waypoints that were revealed by phone. The final location was often hidden in the wilderness or at a condemned (or squatted) building.

Accidental and deliberate surveillance is so common and cheap that this is no longer viable.

Im not sure I follow your point. What does demand have to do with zoning?

I agree that if you remove zoning, many areas of single family homes would be built up if they are in and around urban cores. That isnt new demand, but existing demand, not able to be expressed by current law.

However, my point is that if your [random small town] job paid the same as NY or SF, you would see a flux out of those cities to the small towns.

WE are describing two different situations.

FastCloner – deep cloning done right
Deep cloning objects has been a major pain point for me for a long time. Recently, I've run into a case where after cloning a dictionary ContainsKey no longer worked for items cloned. This inspired me to create a new library FastCloner (https://github.com/lofcz/FastCloner) for the modern .NET Core that would just work. Out of the box. Cyclic references, delegates, read-only collections... as many edge cases covered as possible. There are still some scenarios, unmanaged memory for example, where cloning can go awry, but it should be a major improvement of the prior art. Feel free to check it out!

> I do not see that computers are bringing us one step nearer to anything that does matter to me: peace, economic justice, ecological health, political honesty, family and community stability, good work.

Most of us who were around in the 80s and 90s were convinced that computers and then the internet were an express ticket to world peace. How could it not be? Turns out were were laughably naive.
What happens in the case of plausibly-deniable keys? Say someone has an encrypted drive with a hidden volume, one key decrypts decoy files and one decrypts the true files. If the person gives up the key to the decoy files, is the onus on the prosecution to prove additional keys exist or on the defence to prove they don't?
> I think their website indicates they pay the fewest fees on GitHub

The difference (https://servo.org/sponsorship/#donation-fees) between the donation going via GitHub/Microsoft and Open Collective (independent) is so small (96% VS ~91%) that I'd rather not centralize funding FOSS with someone who has kind of a shitty track record with it, like Microsoft.

Made more sense in the beginning of GitHub Sponsors when Microsoft was matching donations 2x, or whatever it was. But now? I don't feel like it makes much sense anymore.

Open Collective is a fully public organization, who lives and breathes FOSS.

Agree, and I'll add 3 other really useful QEMU features for osdev:

1) Record & Replay: Record an execution and replay it back. You can even attach GDB while replaying, and go back in time while debugging with "reverse-next" and "reverse-continue": https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/replay.html

2) The QEMU monitor, especially the "gva2gpa" and "xp" commands which are very useful to debug stuff with virtual memory

3) "-d mmu,cpu_reset,guest_errors,unimp": Basically causes QEMU to log when your code does something wrong. Also check "trace:help", there's a bunch of useful stuff to debug drivers
No, I don’t take press releases as fact - do you not see that mainstream opinion on gender and immigration is clearly not in line with what Facebook were moderating for?

Compared to compelling people to believe in gender ideology, industrial scale suppression of dissent on private platforms, and teaching race based original sin in schools, being the third president to want to get control of Greenland doesn’t seem particularly extreme.

Also, as was pointed out but you omitted from the question you’re quoting, asking a military commander their strategy is a very poor question.

This makes sense. If one thing is bad, another somewhat similar thing is good. Being trapped in a moving vehicle without a driver is not bad because being in a vehicle with a person is bad. Similarly getting hit with a brick is not bad because getting hit with a shovel is bad.
Popular vote doesn't win President, electoral college does, and that was 312 to 226, not barely, and Dems didn't win a single one of the 7 states that were supposedly in play (GA/NC/PA/MI/WI/NV/AZ).

In the legislature, it is almost impossible for Dems to regain control before 2028, as the majority of states electing senators in 2026 are very unlikely to elect a Dem. And I am not optimistic on Dems' chances in the 2026 House:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_divisions_of_United_Stat...

As far as I can tell, Repubs have the executive for at least 4 years, the judiciary for who knows how long, the Senate for at least 4 years, and the House for at least 2, if not 4 years.

Knowing this, it makes sense why businesses would want to cozy up to Republicans.
That’s great but sales data is much more clear than your anecdote
Do you mean this code, from the article?

uint8_t DebouncePin(uint8_t pin) {
static uint8_t debounced_state = LOW;
static uint8_t candidate_state = 0;
candidate_state = candidate_state << 1 | digitalRead(pin);
if (candidate_state == 0xff)
debounced_state = HIGH;
else if (candidate_state == 0x00)
debounced_state = LOW;
return debounced_state;
}

That doesn't work if you've got more than one pin, as every pin's value is being appended to the same candidate_state variable.

The fact the author's correspondent, the author, and you all overlooked that bug might help you understand why some people find it takes a few attempts to get firmware debouncing right :)

The obvious solution here is high speed rail.

For example the distance from San Francisco to Sacramento is only 90 miles.

Using our archaic excuses for public transportation this takes over 2 hours.

It's well within possibly to get this done to 30 minutes considering many high trains go well over 200 miles an hour.

Even a 1 hour train ride allows working class people to commute in easily.

Now imagine high speed rail going to towns which already have plenty of housing stock.
Thanks for this!

I did not realise VAXELN was in Pascal. The others I did know of, yes, although Ironclad only from another comment in this thread.
I was in an organisation that made decent money on a system built on Laravel 3, I think. The framework was written in an only static classes style, which they over ten years had run with while building the business so everything was static classes. Once you have a couple of million lines of that, rewrite is practically impossible because you need to take the team of two OK devs and a junior off firefighting and feature development for years and that will hurt reputation and cashflow badly.

My compromise was to start editing Laravel and implementing optimisations and caching, cutting half a second on every request within a month of starting, and then rewriting crude DIY arithmetic on UNIX epoch into standard library date/time/period functions and similar adjustments. I very openly pushed that we should delete at least two hundred thousand lines over a year which was received pretty poorly by management. When I left in anger due to a googler on the board fucking up the organisation with their annoying vision where this monster was to become "Cloud Native" on GCP credits he had, a plan as bad as a full rewrite, it only took a few months until someone finally convinced them to go through with deletions and cut LoC in half in about six months.

I don't think they do containers or automatic tests yet, probably never will, but as of yet the business survives.

Maybe because they can drink it faster. Glycmic index's and the equivalent index's around insulin response are literally the gold standard for deciding what's okay to eat. "Vibes" or "My opinions" do not matter. OJ is marginally "healthier", significantly because the fiber in the drink (more pulp the better) slows down (slightly) the insulin and glycemic responses.

The rebuttal contains perhaps my least favorite underhanded rhetorical tactic: Alice expresses a viewpoint, Bob disagrees, and Alice replies something along the lines of "wow, it seems I've really touched a nerve! You care so much; you're obsessed with this. You and the rest of the fanatics are zombies who unthinkingly oppose my considered ideas. The very intensity of your disagreement is proof that something is deeply wrong with the way you think about this."

True the underlying scam is the same, but the operating costs have gotten quite a bit cheaper. Before one person could only call one target at a time, today with a good SIP trunk a single person can target thousands of numbers a day and not even have to be present. It can be just a background task running on their desktop while the scammer goes to their normal 9 to 5.
The host is clearly in poor physical condition and many of their concerns are due to lack of proper nutrition , exercise and prescription meds abuse. They appear 15 years older than they should be. Their advice is primarily reactive, and the trivial proactive advice (exercise more) is delivered almost ironically.

Take care of yourself now. Drop the weight, get generous activity, get off the meds and you will feel loads better.
I think we could say that covid killed a lot of these things. GenZ just happened to be coming of age during the pandemic years and thus prefers to stay home as they see that as normative.
Not really an expert in the topic, and so I can't comment much on the mechanisms why, but AFAIK there's a decent body of evidence that hypermobility is significantly more common in the ADHD + Autism populations than the general public....and I don't think there's much debate that those populations are more likely to be programmers than the general public.

Haven't reviewed in depth, but here's an example to support that claim that looks reasonably credible from a quick review - for some types of hypermobility at least, 5x more likely for Adult ADHD, we're not necessarily talking some kind of small/statistical noise level difference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34560594/
Censorship most assuredly continues to exist on social media.

Even X, which Musk parades as unique in the freeness of its speech is quite happy to demonetise, de-amplify and de-platform prescribed opinions.

That 'fact checking' has been confined to the dustbin, is progress, but lets not kid ourselves that censorship is over.
How do you explain scientific advancement in less armed nations? Some of the most advanced research in the world happens in states with incredibly small forces.

Perhaps you've confused the economic advantage of a militaristic state with a connection between military science and progress.
How much GPU memory are you using? Demanding games already use most if not all available VRAM just for rendering so there isn't a great deal of room left for big AI models. Even if you target games with simple graphics, the size of the AI model would still dictate the min-spec for it to be playable.

>Far more dangerous riding a bicycle to school than racing at 200+mph on closed course racetracks.

I understand that the safety gear helps in MotoGP but you might be overestimating how dangerous cycling is while downplaying risks of going over 200mph on a motorcycle.

>Countless crashes, but injuries have been rare.

To me this sounds that it's just a matter of time before there is a serious injury.
Yes, people would care that the presidents adult son is pointing a gun at a prostitutes head on video.

Your attempt to minimise this as “people don’t care about a laptop” is either incredibly ignorant of this matter or deliberately misleading framing of the question.
> This basically eliminated any need for buffers, which are the main cause of latency in digital systems.

You still need a buffer at each switching point, because the timeslots on each cable aren't likely to line up. But the buffer for each channel only needs to be 2 samples wide in the worst case where the timeslots overlap and you need to send from the buffer while receiving into the buffer.

Given the timeframe when T1/E1 were developed, a more accurate perspective is not that buffers were eliminated, it's that they were never created.
One thing I've struggled with, that is very personality dependent, is being assertive around younger, sharper programmers. It can be an odd dynamic, where I may work with people smarter and faster but less experienced than myself. It can become difficult depending on the dynamics to push for the best choices in architecture, libraries, etc, when it is something they don't want to do, if you are not explicitly their senior. More naturally confident and assertive programmers will not have this issue. This is particularly problematic when pushing for restraint.

For example, choosing a more well supported and stable UI library for an internal tool, vs using one with e.g. more components or more customization. Its hard to sell that there's no money in fancy internal tools, and a limited set of UI that works well and requires little or no support and even less cognitive load, and just working with those constraints, can result in a net benefit long term. Especially when someone that is sharp and fast can bang out working solutions very quickly. Then three years on the tool is only growing, and the complexity is high, re-usability is low, each page is its own snowflake, and someone has to maintain it. The cost suddenly becomes that of an FTE, for a tool that's only occasionally used, which is astronomically cost ineffective. I told you so is worse than worthless because it solves nothing and only burns bridges. You just deal with the outcome and know you should have pushed harder, perhaps even put your job on the line. Tough to do for trivial matters. I think people that excel as aging programmers figure out how to deal with this well, whether through being more assertive, more convincing, more officially senior, or perhaps even more selective about the situations they get themselves into.

I guess what's not surprising is that you can work in this career so long, continually on "the same stuff", and yet the patterns and opportunities can provide interesting new problems to solve, not always the ones you thought needed solving.
The fact that you can build 200 condos on the same acre as 1 ranch house does not negate the fact that most people would choose the ranchouse over the condo if presented a choice between the two.

It is numbers game. Its not about what any single wants best, but how many times you can sell people their 2nd choice using the same land.

More like "How come the younger generations aren't doing <Fun thing>?"

Because they can't afford it.

You appear to be asserting that the demand for suburban-style low-density housing is naturally quite high, and that many people who live in cities are merely settling for less-desirable dense urban housing, as a sacrifice they must make for a higher income. I counter that if this were the case there would be no need for single-family zoning, because people would naturally choose such housing whenever possible, and the market would respond.
