No, it sucks--but not from a lack of advancement. Rather, as a child I failed to foresee the extent to which technology would be used against the common people.
I did, and it told me that people often present false dichotomies on the Internet.
While the idea of a language acquisition window is complex and, like many ideas, not fully understood, it is mostly regarded as false. The article presents some interesting conjecture, but I agree that it provides very little evidence to support an actual "loss of dexterity". The pendulum doesn't always realize it swings.
When a major corporation spends millions of dollars over the course of five years illegally deploying a fork of the Linux kernel, suddenly reabsorbing that fork back into mainline may require a significant amount of time and resources than it would have, had the corporation complied from the start. Will Tesla be expected to help in this respect?
I stopped reading at "converting audio digitally". The lure of vinyl isn't fidelity. It's the ability to own energy waves that were transferred through physical means.
I took a look around the room before answering. Thermaltake ranks high for having made good on a hassle-free warranty. Sanwa ranks high for offering ergonomic input peripherals at non-ergonomic prices. Sharp and Fujitsu both rank high for having produced computers that refuse to die.
Looking beyond these walls, I respect companies that offer new products unencumbered by preconceived notions about what something "should" be. That sounds like trite marketing bullshit, but so damn few of them actually do it--and none of the big companies are capable of doing it. A small operation called Keebio recently unleashed a line of keyboards with non-standard layouts, for example. Big companies are dinosaurs. They die at the hands of rodents too small to even bother eating.
Thank you for reminding me how universally understood the concept of optimization is. I'll remember that next time someone without the right knowledge base tries digging into my brain.
Incidentally, someone from your field (Mike Acton) has been my #1 inspiration of 2017. His "data-oriented design" mantra has kept my feet on the ground where they should be. You do fascinating work.
I agree, and that's precisely where the fun begins. When you convey something well in laymen's terms, people generally react with interest and excitement. In other words, they want to know more. The ensuing conversation has historically been the hard part for me personally, but a number of comments have provided new ideas to try.
For what it's worth, I'm now interested in how you helped those nurses. As a fellow programmer, however, I can imagine. Good job.
The idea of likening computers to an easier-to-understand entity reminds me of the Logo turtle, which in turn bears a number of similarity's to lkcl's tile-walking demonstration. Both are good ideas. Thank you.
You are correct, and the attempted rebuttal to your point rests upon illogical premises. No number is too high to count, and anyone who disagrees is hereby requested to provide a number that proves otherwise.
Attach it to an axle and calibrate it such that it slips out of gear at higher speeds.... Wait, no. It has to be a weatherproof, externally mounted speaker because technology like that is fail-proof.
I was looking for a glyph of directional arrows no more than two days ago but gave up, convinced that I had overlooked it and would be more likely to find it on a fresh search some other day. In other words, directional arrows is so basic of a glyph, I was more cognitively pleased with personal incompetence than the incompetence of an entire consortium of supposed experts.
Thank you for confirming it does not exist. However, I'm not sure whether to be pleased or even more disappointed... though I do find solace in Unicode enabling with U+1F4A9 the expression of my feelings concerning consortiums.
I look at programming languages as boxes of tools. C's box includes various drivers and fasteners. C's box also has a blowtorch hot enough to weld steel and a hacksaw sharp enough to cut diamond. I enjoy using this toolbox, as the tools are straightforward, never break, and are capable of creating anything--it just takes a little more time in some cases.
I also enjoy using Python's toolbox. It includes a safety lighter instead of the blowtorch and a CNC machine instead of the hacksaw.
Each set of tools has its place, but if I had to choose one to eliminate from the face of the earth, I would bid farewell to safety lighters and automated machinery--for the same reason I would choose water over tea. Python needs C. Go and Rust need C. We all need C, because things break at every level of the hierarchy.

Keep fighting the good fight.

First the lawyers and now the bankers? Artificial intelligence is ruining our world.

You know it. We all know it. Enjoy the ride; we can't stop it.
Lead dust is as small as 0.1 microns in diameter.
N95 and HEPA respirator filters only block airborne particles at least 0.3 microns in diameter.
The CDC hereby recommends wearing scuba gear for respiratory protection at the firing range.
Not "not cool". Just "not as cool".

How do you feel about Wera moving manufacturing across the border? Not even their stainless line is made in Germany now.

There was no need to attempt to put a political spin on at the end. It was an interesting story without it.
I've only ever done the opposite, and I've only ever been poor. Perhaps I should give this "underreporting" thing a try.
Next thing, you're going to tell me Facebook knows users' political affiliations.
I'd rather have an app to hunt the banks.
