Not sure about other countries, but in Australia powerful construction lights are referred to as ‘day makers’ (and for good reason!).

I don’t know how they did it, but a doctor surgery near me (UK) had a large number of negative reviews up for several years. About one week ago, I looked and they now have one single 5 star review. So, anecdotally, there is at least some wa

The idea (how to organise society if you won’t know your position within it) is discussed extensively by philosopher John Rawls. It is called either the “Original Position” or “veil of ignorance” thought experiment. The idea itself goes a l

To clarify, I only meant that the telescope has not been maintained (do nothing) lately as per the article. My fault for not writing more clearly. As you say, it would be a lot of work to maintain if they wanted to keep Arecibo running.

I think part of it (as some other comments have alluded to) is that maybe the low quality production brings the kids closer to it because they feel like they could possibly build something if they wanted to. Or that someone like them built

Agreed, but it is still more expensive in terms of direct costs than ‘do nothing’ which seems to be the case for the telescope. Whoever downvoted me, thanks a bunch. Not sure why. Running a team of painters still costs more than nothing. Th

This is in relation to the ‘say more’ part, not specifically about the halting problem or P/NP. Since computation is physical, there are theoretical bounds on the energy consumption of computation. (Landauer’s principle [0]). Physical

Exactly this. Where is the verification? Predictions don’t count for much unless you check that the expectations line up with reality.

Dear ImGui is so easy to get working compared to other similar C++ libraries. For small dev teams using C++ that alone makes it super valuable. I hate losing a day to figure out how to link in some crazy, clashing dependencies. Never had th

This book really is worth a read. It is helpful for getting your ego out of your work and, instead, taking on the users perspective. Not affiliated with the book, but I did find it super useful.

People are working on it (disclosure, that includes me - https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.13028 ) There is a special interest group at The Alan Turing Institute in the UK dedicated to working on problems of this sort. There a
