The topic is "does relying on an IDE make you a bad programmer". And I say yes by analogy to the carpenter situation: *relying* on a powersaw -- being able to cut wood only that way -- makes you a bad carpenter.

If your understanding of cutting wood has atrophied to "uh, flick the switch and push the wood into the blade", then yeah, it has worsened your expertise as a carpenter -- because you've lost the understanding that would allow you to cut wood with a plain ol' handsaw and are forced to backlog until the real experts can replace it when it breaks.
Just because it's a retarded idea, doesn't mean an engineer hasn't tried it on a production design.
It's just that the downside of this design choice is a lot more obvious now that we know a condition in which you absolutely do not what a computer between your brakes and your wheels.
Agree in principle, but I'm not sure this fails that standard to the extent that it's relevant for science to work. Sure, a human may not directly understand the entire proof. However, like with the Four Color Theorem, they can verify:
- A proof checker would catch errors if there were any, and has failed to.
- The thing it purports to prove is in fact (a representation) of the theorem the submitter claims to have proven.
- The proof generator generates only valid steps.
Could there be errors in the process? Sure. But it's definitely something that humans can do science with.
If the law says to cart $oppressed_group to the internment camps, then stopping it is a crime and people who work as guards for the camps are gonna oppose attempts to stop it.
See, I can pretend to be insightful too!
Back in the day, car dealerships were the good guy underdogs, and car manufacturers were pretty much the devil.
You mean, a writer with a particular worldview convinced you that there was a time where smaller businesses held a relatively benevolent position compared to upstream larger businesses.
Does that argument also prove how gas station owners were pro-consumer good guys against oil companies?
Why didn't competition between auto-makers hold down prices, and how did middlemen help with that?
Well, why didn't he test the mortar against every every brick he'd be using in the wall before he put it up?
Er, I guess bricklayers don't have some of the luxuries programmers do
Do you realize that analogous punishments for copyright infringement have not actually lowered the number of incidents at all?
Because enforcement is so tepid and inconsistent. If you download a movie illegally, do you expect someone to come looking for you?
Definitely! But some customers believed they were getting a genuine speedup from the quantum effects and it being a true quantum computer. I think it's relevant to *them* whether they could accomplish the same thing with (classical) commodity hardware and a grad student to implement the (classical) algorithm, which seems to be the case.
I seriously doubt that it's it.
a) Law schools get away with a lot worse in terms of stating graduate placements and salaries and charge a LOT more and take a much bigger commitment.
b) They're not going to law off the moment these schools drop specific guarantees of placement
Yep, that's criticism of libertarian in a nutshell.
- Point out how poorly government does X.
- Lectures everyone how X wouldn't solve problem Y because X is so shitty.
We could have better courts, but we would have to admit government's incompetence. Outsource the whole thing to private arbitrators, make litigants bear the cost, and only have government involved in establishing the validity of these rulings. *Then* what's the problem?
Btw, I've never heard someone so proud of their own profession's inefficiency.
Exactly. The moment they shut down the silk road site, the entire Bitcoin money supply plus five bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
The first human, named "human"? Son of a gun!
I applaud them for trying. I also applaud them louder for realizing it didn't work and ending it.
Er, we're not quite there yet! "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."
