If you get the same result over and over again, it means the model is more overfit to a certain result. It does not mean the result is correct.

I was just on vacation in Greece, and solar water heaters are on every home and building there.

Ironically, I think the power user can be another marginal user: the user who pays *top dollar* (in their mind) for your product so they expect it to support marginal, niche features for eternity. Somewhere in between the user who doesn't want to think while using your application and the user who wants a basically programmable application is, I think, the ideal.

Spin launches have become less theoretical.

> That said, it locks you into using stuff like mono and stuff for cross platform which makes me a sad.

Microsoft's .Net Core runtime (now just .Net) has supported Linux and MacOS since 2016, so this information has been out of date for 7+ years.

> Why can’t an app that I choose to give location permissions to gather that info, and the Verizon connection info, over time and space and show me a map of where things would be better or worse?

Well except for this part, but maybe somebody made such an app.

Google Fi just let me do exactly this, and it was great.

This is one variant of "the great filter" theory.

Also why she might believe this is an obvious confounding factor and it was clearly not obvious to the authors, or the rest of the world!

Clearly, people are talking about it.

Oof this is going to require some painful changes. Luckily, there are some other great mocking libraries for dotnet. One that I've always been tempted to use was FakeIt Easy.

It's the same as any product, the product team wants a faster, cheaper product, yesterday. Security and trust is secondary, because if you're lucky enough, that will fall on the next product team.

Beyond that, processors contain billions (or trillions?) of possible outcomes from a set of inputs. Testing for all of these just to verify reliability and stamp out logic bugs is really hard due to the combinatorial explosion. Putting security testing on top just complicates matter further. The best they can probably do is map out potential ways in which their general purpose processors could be used for specific nefarious uses.

I don't disagree, but in my opinion code organization (which is what most of these things are) is mostly subjective, in other words, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Good organization certainly helps with maintainability and extensibility, but it's not a prerequisite, and it won't on its own solve tricky or vague problems.

Most coding is pretty mechanical... and most juniors can pick that up easily. In spite of the mysticism surrounding software development, higher level languages are actually intended to be easy to pick up. If you have good problem solving skills, those are harder to replace with a couple of juniors (or ChatGPT).

Funny, but there's nothing wrong with that if Arthur was/is happy (which isn't mentioned).

This seems like a post on Twitter/Chi, not LinkedIn?

All the replies mention technologies to help you build one, but this chart looks like a modified, animated version of a Petri Net to me, which is a very useful chart for visually describing the flow of data between systems. I've built similar charts using PowerPoint and exporting the PowerPoint as a GIF... same effectiveness for internal use, but not something you're going to want to brag to your friends about.

Are rights like habeas corpus and free and informed consent overridden in a time of war?

We like to focus on how long it takes governments to build things these days (especially US government(s)), but these discussions remind me of the Washington Monument, which was under construction for 36+ years depending on how you count it! And this was in the 1850's, when this type of construction was certainly feasible. As may sound familiar today, construction moved haltingly due to lack of funding.

An impressive iteration on this would be a model that would say "here's my solution, and here's what it's inspired by, you may need to update your software's license and/or distribution if you use this solution."

Thank you, and noted!

Can the link please be changed to the news source, Reuters? Having to jump through Twitter is getting increasingly annoying.

It's not your fault at all, it's not on you to un-deceive your family members, it's on Google to not deceive in the first place.

Evergreen article that neatly lists the problems with time (not just as a version key): https://infiniteundo.com/post/25326999628/falsehoods-program...

I think the definitions are useful here - a script is part of a program, and a program gives structure to a large script or to many loosely related scripts (I think of the paper program you receive at a performance). Thus everyone is right, a script is a program (with just one script), and a program is just a large script, or a collection of many scripts.

Much of this wording likely derives from plays and performances (also see Actors in computer science):

[0] Program (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/program): I think the 2nd or 3rd definition is best here (as the later definitions actually refer to computer programs, but don't cut to my proposed etymology) - "2. a: a brief usually printed outline of the order to be followed, of the features to be presented, and the persons participating (as in a public performance)".

[1] Script (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/script): I think 1c2 again is most relevant here, as it is likely the root of its usage in computers - "1. c (2): the written text of a stage play, screenplay, or broadcast... specifically: the one used in production or performance".

If you're salaried and you too often work more than nine to five, then you are necessarily devaluing your work. I don't see how devaluing yourself aligns your incentives with the company's incentives, whose incentives are to clearly get as much work done for as little money as possible.

Poker players?

"Kidults" is a silly term, and feels like another baseless attack implying that younger generations shouldn't enjoy life and should instead be productive. My grandparents would get together with their friends and play card games well into old age (I wonder at what age they learned those games?). My parents' generation (the baby boomers) seem to still enjoy movies, national sports, TV, and other leisure activities of their generation. There is nothing wrong with anyone enjoying leisure activities, and humanity has probably done so since the earliest of times.

It seems to me a lot of these things are handled more plainly by delegation and composition.

#1 can be solved by renting a co-working space if troubles at home are really that severe. I doubt that #2 is really any different than if you are unmotivated while in the office. If anything, one unmotivated employee in the office can more easily spread that lack of motivation to their co-workers.
