Thank you for this post.

I've been using Parinfer with IntelliJ (Cursive) ever since I started developing Clojure professionally back in 2018. The best thing about Parinfer, or at least the implementation in Cursive, is that it doesn't preclude you from also mixing in some Paredit commands too.

When you start out with Clojure/Lisp and you aren't totally used to parenthesis you can just use Parinfer to get editor behaviour similar to developing Python. It removes a major pain point of migrating to a Lisp. It used to be the case that you were forced to learn Paredit pretty much from the start.

The Guardian is notorious for being biased against Israel, along with other news organizations like the New York Times and even the BBC.

The UN and other organizations like Amnesty International are openly biased against Israel.

there are good people working in those organizations. and i genuinely believe people who work there want to do good in the world.

but there's no denying that those organizations they work for are compromised.

Well specifically for engineering-related products (both software and hardware).

How can you thrive and be competitive when your competitors in the far-east work for >60 hours per week with a solid ecosystem and generous support from the government?

I am specifically worried about the future of European engineering, unlike US you have much smaller capitals and moats. Many of the products are sustained mainly by legacy built by your predecessors.

If nothing changes then by next-generation most if not all would be devoured by chaebols, Asian Sovereign Wealth Funds, or American PEs. You'll have to work for >60 hours but they not you will enjoy the surplus. Take your poison.

Quantity has a quality of its own.
That is indeed very rare. A simple sanity check you can look at how many people earn about 100k in the UK, we know the figure for above 125k is 500,000 [1]. We can subtract the number of other jobs that we know for sure pay above this for example lawyers at magic circle firms which start on >150k for newly qualified lawyers, consultants in the NHS, directors of large corportaions, and we end up with a very small amount of people in other industries that earn these figures. Even before that we know the median is about £50k, and I can tell you from experience you can hire very very good software people on those wages, even in London.

From personal experience, I also know of software guys making that, but I also know far far more people earning below that, and these are oxford/cambridge/imperial/UCL grads....

I don't think anyone expects PLA to be used for anything that requires structural stability. There's far better filaments for that application. Some of the carbon fiber infused PETG filaments for example are incredibly strong.

Not many people use 3d printing for applications that require extreme strength though, that's really not the goal many people are aiming for.
Apple (IMO rationally) chose that people would prefer a working phone, one they can use to call emergecy services, for example, to a phone that just suddenly dies.

After the massive hissy fit the Internet threw (along with lawsuits), they added a switch. Now you can choose to have your phone suddenly die.

But the legend lives on that "Appple slowed down phones permanently!!" - even though the fix for that is a 40€ battery swap that takes 30 minutes in any mall phone repair shop.

It is the same issue. The reason that medical care is so expensive is that it's bottlenecked on a small number of people who are qualified and licensed to provide it. If it weren't bottlenecked on them then it would be a massive boon to society overall, and it's not clear that it would be particularly detrimental to those people.

Unconventional Adventures
I assume most americans today are already under the impression their government spies on them and facebook/google will gladly give anything that is asked for, how does the chinese spying on them make any difference for the average citizen? If I was a regular american and had to choose I'd take the foreign spy 10/10 times. What will the chinese do to the regular american citizen compared to what his own contry could do with this information?

If you're diaspora and other smaller interest groups for sure, but the general citizen probably wouldn't care at an individual level. I'd argue that the NSA revelations and how everything just got worse and worse since then killed any chance of the public caring about this kind of stuff.
The trick is that a very small number of people confiscated most of the wealth and their "added value" is releasing some of that wealth to those who were not lucky enough to have any wealth. I think I could be fine with a capitalist system where wealth is spread evenly (which should involve abolishing inheritance for example, but not only)

So you should become the change you want to see, shouldn't you? Try switching to Linux until it works for you. Debian is rock-solid today; xfce is so good that my non-technical relatives use it every day with no complains. I'm using a GNU/Linux phone as a daily driver and I'm sick of iPhone and Mac users complaining that everything is going downhill without taking any actions. I'm also sick of articles without any suggestions of what to do, when all tools are available today. No, it's not trivial. But it's doable.

Yes, this is correct -- TikTok's own "shutdown" was never required by law. I'm not in the US so I can't check for myself, but from googling it still seems to be removed from both the Apple and Google stores.

If Apple/Google don't change their minds, TikTok won't be able to get any new US users, and won't be able to distribute updates to current US users. To continue using it in the current state, US users will have to keep the same phone and TikTok will have to continue supporting whatever last version(s) they're on indefinitely. (Modulo the few that might jump through VPN and app store locale setting hoops.)

And I don't see how Apple/Google could change their minds: the ban bill comes with a 5 year statute of limitations, so regardless of how convincing the Trump administration is in their promise not to enforce the law, the next administration inaugurated in January 2029 would still be able to impose the penalties on Apple/Google for 4 years of non-compliance. Those penalties would be cripplingly massive even for the world's largest companies (I'm reading an estimate of $850B [0]).

As far as I can tell, the only events that could end this are (1) TikTok finding and agreeing to sell to a US buyer or (2) Congress overturning the ban.

It's odd that people are talking as though the saga is over now...

Twitter was a social accomplishment, not a technical one. It created its own new word (to tweet) and it did really feel, misleadingly, like a public utility rather than a private platform.

It’s also completely unreplicable today. There was a fun factor to it that justified starting out at zero followers—it was a game, so it was OK to start out at level 1–that isn’t there on any of the replacements. “Platform” has become some new kind of social credit score and no one enjoys it anymore. We either become “content creators” and get into that grind or remain obscure and hope our employers never bother to deanonymize us.

That’s not an excuse for circumventing it, obviously.
Only takes a lot of good faith if you assume the worst in people. But yes, I’m married and sometimes while my wife is driving I’ll use my phone.

More importantly though it was just a randomly picked use case. Whether twitter is a good news platform or not doesn’t depend on whether it is used while driving
The pace is not really parts supply constrained in my experience. It just takes much longer to build and validate even relatively modest design changes.

Ban them all...

You're arguing crack should be legal because cigarettes are
It's very possible that they did, it's very feasible and to some degree a simple matter. However, I still believe that it's more likely that the US did than that the Ukrainians did. My initial assumption, right after it happened was Ukrainians or the US, but I have always leaned to that the US is more likely, and there's at lot of reasons for that.

However, I mostly think you did it because you said you would, and I kind of trust you when you do things like that. When your leaders try to communicate their intentions, they usually mean what they say and it's not terribly complicated.

The US talk about agreement with the EU view that this is somehow a brazen and dangerous sabotage is pretty funny though, because this kind of thing is absolutely legal-- completely, not like 'Oh, this is disputable', but completely. The useless German arrest warrant that was issued was funny too. Neither of these two mean anything, but I get the impression that everybody knows it's legal and wish it weren't. They know that the Armenians can blow up Turkstream and the Georgian pipelines, even with the slightest provocation, since there's no ceasefire agreement and all their big investments can be destroyed in an instant with unhappy Brits as a likely result.

You don't even need an order. If your country is occupied by another country or at war, and you can damage infrastructure useful for the enemy war effort, whether in export of energy or the electrical grid or anything like that, you don't need an order, you should just do it. Attacks on things in international waters is obviously permitted. If it belongs the enemy and you can attack it, you probably should. It's more complicated if it's in a neutral country, and then it might actually be illegal, but otherwise-- do the work and put on some distinctive marking for the attack itself, and there's nothing to complain about.

It's something that anyone who has lived in a smaller country with a neighbour that could possibly make war upon them drills into their own heads when they first read their grandparent's old 1950s military manuals.

Of course, if the US really did warn, then it may be as you say-- after all, why warn of what one would oneself plan to do, but people can be tricky, so there isn't a guarantee there either, especially if the explosives are pre-planted.

I'm reminded of the weird US accusations against Russia right after the event though, now that I read the article again, and that's another reason to suspect the US. Imagine that you're in an Agatha Christie novel and somebody says stupid things to you. There's only one conclusion-- he wants you to think stupid things. The article also contains some of this kind of stupid about 1/3 in and it's right when it starts discussing this kind of thing, so, no it's 100% the US. You don't talk like this, or reason like this, unless you did it. It even has one of those 'how did you know the parts you weren't there for' problems.

Assuming the user owns a computer and a printer:

1. Open Microsoft Word or Apple Pages (either of these comes pre-installed on most consumer devices).

2. Write your articles.

3. Check that the printer has paper.

4. Print.

I heard about total destruction, but not from ASML, from taiwan authorities.
I think it's pretty simple, the world just evolved from the overly complicated tags and tagging in general.
Why would state something that is not correct. Cymer is a fully owned company by ASML.
There are three reasons why this happens. The first is described perfectly by bjornn:

> <...> corporate business world of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s was just as sleazy and run by assholes as it is today; the only difference is that the technology is finally catching up with the ambitions of said sleazy assholes and allowing them to do what they've been trying to do since the outset, <...>

Second, computers are cheap now. They are no longer for the financial and/or intellectual elite.

Third, there is an overall culture/intellecual/value decline in the Western world. Probably because life after the Cold War was too easy. Now many(?) young people, at least in America, can't write by hand, and men who cut their genitals are not considered to be in need of very serious therapy, and Harvard students support HAMAS, and so on.
From the wikipedia page on EUV: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithogra...

> To address the challenge of EUV lithography, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories were funded in the 1990s to perform basic research into the technical obstacles. The results of this successful effort were disseminated via a public/private partnership Cooperative R&D Agreement (CRADA) with the invention and rights wholly owned by the US government, but licensed and distributed under approval by DOE and Congress.[3] The CRADA consisted of a consortium of private companies and the Labs, manifested as an entity called the Extreme Ultraviolet Limited Liability Company (EUV LLC).[4]

> In 2001 SVG was acquired by ASML, leaving ASML as the sole benefactor of the critical technology.

Unless the situation has changed, the IP is still owned by the US government, and is licensed to ASML through their acquisition of Silicon Valley Group.

Thing is even with the core one finally releasing...its not a compelling product.

It costs more than the P1S - which lets fact it, thats what it should be compared to, not the X1C as the Core one doesn't have the stronger nozzle, nor any features that would make it a 'pro' level product.

They also still dont have an answer to the AMS, which is a big selling point for the Bambu's. The MMU3 may be better than the previous one but its just like putting lipstick on a pig - it's a mess, with tubes all over the place, spools dotted around, and then you've got to constantly babysit it and tune it.

Side by side the P1S with an AMS is still significantly cheaper and from a marketing perspective a much more visually pleasing offering.

Also worth mentioning that whilst the core one is about to come out, the MMU isnt actually even supported yet, and theres no timeline for when it will be.

Prusa are so far behind at this point and really shouldn't be. Chances are the core one is going to come out and just like the XL and MK4 will be extremely buggy for a good 6 months. How people still accept this is bonkers.
The fact that it exists doesn’t mean it’s the best. You see it all the time that businesses do something just because everyone does it too. For example, the current AI investments, collatoral debt obligations in the 2000s, and conglomerates in the 1960s.
Namespaces are already pretty rarely used - mostly in older codebases in development as modern JS modules were still being developed and worked out. The Typescript compiler, for example, recently put a lot of work into getting rid of namespaces in their codebase and got a nice startup time improvement as a result.

Parameter properties are I think still used quite heavily in Angular, but I don't see them much elsewhere. Again, they're a very old feature, and they don't play well with newer developments in the language (such as native private attributes), so it doesn't seem like much of a problem to avoid them as well.

The other big TS-only feature is old-style decorators, but that shows the danger of relying too much on this TS-based syntax sugar. Decorators have gone through several revisions, and the version that Typescript implemented is long dead. But a number of codebases are still stuck using this legacy system because it's not compatible with the newer versions of decorators that will (eventually, hopefully) be implemented in browsers. The legacy system is still maintained, I believe, and you can still keep on using it, but you'll not get the benefits of using the same system as the wider Javascript ecosystem, and you'll not get the benefits of having the syntax be native to browsers, when that happens.

In general, Typescript works best when you use it as simply a type annotation syntax for Javascript, and not as an additional layer of sugar on top of that. And clearly the Typescript developers see things similarly, because they've stopped implementing sugar-like features and have committed to only implementing the stuff that will also be implemented as new features in Javascript.
"Convergence" was a term used by Ubuntu in their brief foray into mobile Linux. Alas it never led anywhere, but it still embodies a sort-of holy grail of cross-platform apps with uniform native feel.

On performance, yes, in my experience various readers (have not tried them all!) will choke if the feed list grows beyond a hundred or so. If you make consistent use of RSS you don't even need to be a power user to reach this number. E.g. think of the typical total of browser bookmarks of youtube subscriptions people have.

On reader magic, yes, the empowerment of users in discovering relevant content was quite central in early visions of the web. The idea was that with metadata (linked data) and intelligent clients you will have a sort of decentralized version of the "you might also like" functionality that is now such a mainstay of centralized platforms.

Taxonomies and flexible layouts can really transform your experience. It gives you the option to switch between a reddit-like, subject-oriented view of feeds, or a mixed chronological order.

I am actually thinking of possibly trying out FreshRSS. Akregator is what I am currently using and ticks a few requirements [2] but does not seem to be having much further ambition (and being a native Qt application it requires serious commitment to contribute anything).

Yes your point about extensions is quite important. People have different ideas what makes "an advanced reader" and one way to reach broader community adoption is to make it easy to add functionality.
