Yeah ok. Time for me to go find a new home for my email.

On page 8 where they speculate about the long term evolution they get even closer to how the field feels today:

> "This fundamental change will occur in several ways. [...] programmers will become able to express the desired function of a program in terms of its expected behavior and output(s) without having to specify the precise algor- ithms involved in performing the processing.

Third, many programmers will then move away from concern with the "how" of programming to concentrate more heavily on the "what"; applications programming will then become equivalent to today's task of requirements analysis and specification. In short, both the nature of programming and the nature of programmers will change."

I get the sense that the word rare shouldn't be used here.

Rather this is a nicely presented collection of documents, emails and books that the author thinks are worth looking into.

Maybe undervalued would work better?

I had no idea there had been more than one Lemmings game. Remember playing the first one a ton back in the early 90's.

European, living within the EU, who loves the idea of the conmon market.

But it is badly implemented and in need of drastic improvements. Just see recent comments made by EU President Von der Leyen and head of the ECB Christine Lagarde on how the biggest obstacles to the EU isn't US tarrifs but internal tarrifs.

Counted up they effectively make goods twice as costly as they should be.

A true common goods and finance market in the EU would be a force to reckon with.

As someone who also has to deal with the review process on the Playstore, I feel your pain. Reviews timelines have been all over the place for the past year.

I greatly appreciate that I can now get Signal via Obtainium directly from your VCS. It feels like I am sometimes even getting multiple weekly updates.

This kind of reminds me of Foursquare from back in the day.

Now a days I just have a few group chats where I can drop this kind of announcement in and see if there are any takers.

The fact not many launches happen from continental Europe has nothing to do with capabilities of the space industry or lack of expertise, but rather location.

Europe is far from the equator and densely populated so rocket launches from there are more costly, and failures can have a higher risk to life.

Arianne space has had 350+ successful missions after 45 years of operations, with most of those launching from overseas territories.

How does this compare to being beholden to a single cloud providers like AWS or Google Cloud?

Has there been a sea change in how investors view these things in general, or is it only AI?

I pay forced (happy with it) 11%, add extra and get extra from employer up to a total of 15%.

Used to be in a union (in a sector I don't work in anymore) that bumped that up to 18%.

7.5% is woefully little.

Not saying that Dutch farmers don't use a lot of water overall, but they have some of the most effective farming practices on the planet when it comes to water usage.
