“Today's computer scientists play the same role as the oracles of the ancient world and the astrologers of the Middle Ages. While methods have changed, the political function of prediction has remained the same. Predictions are the arena where fights about the future take place.” Give me two please

“How can we continue to create new wealth, invent new technology and advance human material progress, while also finding something that gives purpose, direction and meaning to our lives?”
Well the question is kinda weird? I don’t see a reason to create new wealth, invent new technology or advance human material progress anymore. We could be striving to fix the injustices in this fucking world so everyone gets to enjoy what we already have, and if direction and meaning don’t come from that they’ll come from nowhere

Hey #Scala folks, something I’ve never figured out is why whenever Metals start up, it recompiles the entire project, which takes about 20 on my computer. It doesn’t keep a cache around? Is this a problem with my setup? Or is it expected?

Shoot me your favourite literary work. Note that I’m deliberately not saying book. I expect books, but if it’s an essay or a short story published on a magazine, or a blog, or fanfiction.net, or whatever, it also counts. The only requisite is that’s a literary work, so please don’t tell me about your favourite programming book, although I may ask about those in the future!
And remember, a lot of not fiction is literary

“When work disappears, the genders produced by the labour market are blurred. When socially necessary labour declines, what we once called women’s work – education, healthcare, service – becomes our basic industry, not a ‘tertiary’ dimension of the measurable economy. The labour of love, caring for one another and learning how to be our brother’s keeper – socially beneficial labour – becomes not merely possible but eminently necessary, and not just within families, where affection is routinely available. No, I mean out there, in the wide, wide world.” https://aeon.co/essays/what-if-jobs-are-not-the-solution-but-the-problem

In the current economic system (yes, capital C) it makes sense to replace human creativity with the random output of language models. Mediocre music sells a tone. Mediocre literature sells a ton. Mediocre translations sells a ton. I know how the sausage is made, mediocre and even horribly bad software sells a ton. The output of a language model only looks like progress if you don’t know we can do better

‘The "problem" was that creating art—real, human, meaningful writing—is slow. It is expensive. It is unpredictable. And it is diverse. It requires dealing with people. People with traumas, people with political opinions, people with voices that don't fit into a corporate style guide. Minority writers, specifically, are "high friction." We talk about queerness and transphobia and racism, and We talk about disability. We make the advertisers uncomfortable.’

Is there any book about programming that you would consider timeless? I.e. one that, regardless of the language or project at hand, says something universal about programming that no other work has said better?

@nprofile…84gr but open source was never political. The only reason OS came to exists is because the free software movement created licenses with a political sense. I don’t think things will change for the better by just pretending that open source aligns with certain values. It was explicitly created to ensure that wasn’t the case

@nprofile…t4qe instead of requiring `lspconfig` you just use `vim.lsp.config` if you need to customise something, but if you are OK with the defaults you just call `vim.lsp.enable` with the servers you wanna use, e.g. `{ “pyright", “dockerls” }`

Has anyone ever write something on how programming languages shape, or should shape the way you think about programming? I would call it the philosophy behind a language design.
I’ve never designed a language myself, but I (used to) get joy from playing with different languages because of the above

Cherry-picking here! This proves my intuition about text: you only get better by reading a bunch of different stuff. If you only read genre fiction, you will be good at reading genre fiction. If you only read pop science, you will be good at reading pop science. I suspect this is the reason why some folk hate fiction, and others hate non-fiction. But whatever your flavour, you will struggle with a literary work (fiction or non-fiction). And you will only enjoy those after reading a bunch of them. How do I know? I’m projecting: it’s what happened to me.
But then I wonder: isn’t this what college should have taught these folks?
I’m assuming of course the post is being honest about what the paper says. I have other papers to read 😅 https://kittenbeloved.substack.com/p/college-english-majors-cant-read

«It showed that, when there is non-promotable work to be done, women volunteer to do it 48% more often than men.
But they also found that men volunteered less because if they waited, they knew that a woman would volunteer. In all male groups, they had no trouble getting volunteers. If there were no women there, men volunteered just fine.
The even more interesting part was that, when managers were asked to choose someone to do thankless work, they asked women 44% more than they asked men.»
