I had the experience of using it to optimize a large legacy Windows application, and it was much better then all of the other alternatives I tried when optimizing for latency. It uses heuristics to construct a timeline of the call stack of your program without requiring you to add instrumentation, using only sampling.

I might have watched too many episodes of Better Call Saul but this makes a lot of sense for me, the logic of attorney client privilege is that the lawyer would not allow you to use him for performing crime. This fact gives a clear separation, if you talk to a friend or a chatbot about defence in court, there is not guarantee that you also talked about actively performing crime.

I don't like it, from a pure brutalistic view point this obviously doesn't make any sense, it isn't practical and it doesn't make any effort to create a shape that is esthetically pleasing. The urban decay is even more outrageous, the whole appeal of urban decay is that it is "real", it's the thinking about all of people that went through the same structure throughout the years. Of cause it doesn't mean you can't make art about or featuring urban decay, but you have to be smart about it.

I think spreadsheets are a greater example of something that require the subtleties of an actual GUI. This is most obvious with the various plots which are hilariously imprecise. But the advantages of GUI are also present when just using the spreadsheet itself, it's ability to convey the skeuomorphic two dimensional space is much greater.

And it's not like the terminal can't be a greater data processing tool, but you have to use different paradigms.

Still from an esthetical perspective I love those simple TUI interfaces. They invoke a weird sense of comfort in me that I can't fully explain.

Why even responding then? And are we not allowed to talk about how doing our jobs makes us feel?

What the article misses is that generating a good UI is not easy, a good interface conveys so much more semantic information then just it's underlying API, and it does that without the user needing to concisely interpret the information.

And it's not just semantic information, presenting any kind of information in a way which enable the user to seamlessly interpret and use it is not an easy task.

AI, definitely lowered the bar for making some UI, but it doesn't help with the fundamentals challenges of making a UI, at least not more so then it helps with the fundamental challenges of any other job in our industry.

they agreed to not have stokepiles of enriched uranium, they didn't agree for no enrichment

The statement is complete speculation, there is no proof at all. And mistarting was a thing way way before ai.

there were not such news

As long as AI can't make the code optimized and secure by itself, and these day it still can't, those people won't be replaced. And when they do get replaced there is no guarantee that the more "entrepreneur" population won't get replaced as well.

Barak and bibi are political enemies (or at least we're when Barack was a relevant political figure) and besides that I haven't seen anything suggesting that his connection with bibi is more than the one meeting that was publicized.

usefull if you need to validate that the database runs properly on yours embedded platform, possibly with its custom io and sync primitives.

They find them useful as a performance optimization, not as a design tool. This optimization is not relevant to Python code because it relies on the optimization passes the compiler makes.

It might be slightly off topic but I have a hard time understanding the layout of the website on mobile, it's not clear what is clickable and what's not.
