I’ve moved cross-country twice and was fortunate enough to have both moves paid for, including packing.

Professional packers are amazing. The first time was two guys to pack a 1,200 sq ft apartment, the second time three guys to pack a 1,500 sq ft home. Both times they were done in less than a half day.

The only “unfortunate” part is you end up moving crap you probably should’ve sold or tossed. Having to pack and/or move your own stuff is a great motivator to prune.

Part of me thinks this should be in the Computer History Museum and not in this guy's garage - simply from a preservation standpoint.

At the same time, I'm not sure if this could be considered "computer history" or not - though it certainly has elements of analog computing.

The Scanimate was one of those iconic machines that ultimately helped to lead us to where we are today with computer graphics - if this is really the only operating one in existence (I don't necessarily doubt it, from the history I have read about it and early graphics), then proper preservation should be paramount.

But I can understand if the guy didn't want to give it up.

On a side note - how many here have seen this?:

Basically - computation of fractals using analog video feedback...kinda amazing that (in theory) something like could have been done in the 1950-60s using Eidophor projectors of the era (amazing analog tech in its own right)...
Right. Loads of Americans don't realize that a lot of people in their communities are members of some kind of emergency reserve component. And a lot of this sort of "hidden infrastructure" would mobilize relatively very quickly (on the scale of hours). In addition to slogging through tours overseas in shithole countries, I spent twelve years of my life preparing for large-scale natural or man-made disasters. People just don't realize how much of the community would mobilize in the event of an emergency.
The root cause of the disease is that people like drugs. The cartels are a symptom of the larger problem, not the other way around.
It makes perfect sense in this context of graphics software. You're forgetting that computer graphics are a heap of latency issues.
Again, per the link prior: this standard predates even Office itself. They could have not followed the standard, but then they would have angered users for not following standards used elsewhere in PC applications at the time.

F2 has long been "Rename Object" and F3 has long been "Find" (though Excel in this case doesn't use it for that, but that's another matter). Did IBM do enough user studies at the time? I'm not sure IBM could have found a user study to predict the order of those choices being irritating to Excel users two and half decades later.

Even then, too, the IBM CUA I pointed to was partly synthetic, pulling in commonalities from apps at the time of its writing. Given F2 is nearly universal as "Rename Object" [1], I've got a feeling it predates the IBM CUA by quite a bit in some heavily used applications, but I'm not a historian.

Office never existed in a vacuum, and the function keys have had common meanings for decades. Microsoft used a mix of the IBM CUA guidelines and presumably what they were seeing from the competition (Lotus 1-2-3 and VisiCalc especially for Excel early in its history). If they put the useful function of F2 somewhere else, they would have broken the muscle memory of so many other PC users, even early in Excel's history. If they moved it today there might be riots, some rioting even by the same people removing F1 keys from keyboards.

AFAIK pressing F1 in Visual Studio takes you to the top Bing result for the text under the cursor within MSDN. This could be the reference you were looking for, a reference for something completely different in a different programming language (a lot of potentially helpful context is not considered) or in extreme cases some other random article or discussion. It's all over the place.

Thanks, Andrew, this is exactly what I was going to point to. We are making sure to base our UX changes on actual user feedback and research. I would also say that GitLab's UX has to evolve in pace with the product. As we add features to support 'idea to production', we need to make them easy to find and intuitive to use.
Just like with AJAX sites, Google will simply support it.

Wew this article made me want to smoke. When they talk about cigarette reviews it reminded me of a youtube vid I saw a while back where the guy is reviewing an mre (from korean war maybe?) and smokes an old unfiltered cig and it almost lays him out.

And I'd say the writer is correct about the shared persecution or shame. There are subs on reddit devoted to drug-addiction and alcoholism which aren't about recovery, just a place to post and lounge and they're similarly nice.
Yup, when I talk about stability I'm not talking about stability of function, which I presume is what people buying OpenShift want. I'm talking about stability as in few changes. Anyone doing things in the Container space shouldn't be expecting lack of changes, even if you're using OpenShift.

> Fascinating but it doesn't seem to prove anything besides we struggle to draw complex logos from memory therefore the complex logos of Starbucks and Footlocker are at the bottom and the simpler logos of Target and Ikea at the top.

I'm unconvinced. Of course complex logos are harder to draw, but it doesn't explain why so many people got extremely simple logos wrong, like Adidas' or Domino's, while comparatively harder logos got better scores, like Burger King's or 7-Eleven's!

I think there's something more at play than just logo complexity.

The problem in my mind, at least in the US, is that we give licenses to 16 year-olds without proper training and turn them loose on the roads.

This combined with the American machismo culture of driving like an entitled asshole make for situations where people think they are the skilled drivers, but in fact are out of control.

Additionally we have an armada of truck drivers whose incomes are increasingly pinched by competition and ever dwindling wages that are pushing the limits of safety in order to make a living.

Conscription is male only because most men thought that women weren't suitable as soldiers. It's men who decided not to conscript women, and it's also men who decided whether or not women should be allowed to vote. So whatever you think about male only conscription, it's clearly not an instance of women oppressing men.
You still have the ability to not vote, Australia just fines you for not voting. What's more powerful of a statement: not voting with no obligation to vote, or not voting in spite of the punishment?
The full-sized IMAX screen helped (we have one of the very few here in Indy), but overall I found it to be quite good, particularly once I figured out the interleaving of the stories.

He’s at a $14m acquisition number. How much of the company does he own? Does he have one or two other founders? Marching to a $400m valuation is going to dilute you around 20-30% each round to both investors and ESOP. I’m giving an approximation but what I’m pointing out is that you not going to own 100% of the company and you may see a <1x - 20x multiple on your current ownership.

The personal part is actually quite small. I spent a month working in a country where the host family did all my cleaning and cooking. All I had to do was eat, clean myself, and exercise. I felt I had a vast wealth of time. I was extremely productive yet had more leisure than normal.

A stay at home spouse or a full time housekeeper is a vast multiplier. However, the former is rare/undesirable, and the latter costs a lot of money + introduces management complexity.

Still, it's worth thinking cleanly about which part of chores actually require personal effort.

I kinda dislike calling addiction a disease. You can't just decide to stop having cancer unlike addiction. Even tho addiction is all about a person's brain chemistry being completely out of whack, alcoholics and other addicts will often have a so called "moment of clarity". No such "moment of clarity" exist for other diseases.
>You shouldn't judge an engine by the games made with it.

Most game engines have no games made with them - including my own garbage engine that I'm hacking on right now. I think you absolutely should and must judge an engine by, at the very least, whether or not games can be made with it.

And seeing what kind of games are made with it can show you what the engine is capable of, how well it performs, what sort of games it's optimized for, what the structure of its output is and how restrictive it is in terms of proprietary formats, what the development workflow looks like, etc. All of that requires example implementations to study.
Make sure you're not taking any medication which effects your problem solving skills. Nothing is without suspicion, even things you take for granted. Sometimes medication of all kinds, particularly those that effect your hormone system, has unlisted side effects.

Another silent killer is poor air quality. Make sure you're getting lots of fresh air each day.

Obviously eating well & exercising helps as well.

Beyond that, simply taking a break may help.

Redhat supports the community by providing tons of maintainers/maintenance of projects. So, they may not support $PROJECT with dollars, but for a few thousand projects they base their business on, they provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in year in engineering time fixing bugs, or updating things which are bothering their customers. Particularly on all the unsexy portions of the OS that everyone else has moved on from.
Along with the other responses, the JVM imposes its own object model on any language implemented on top of it. WebAssembly does not, so it is vastly simpler and more flexible.

For example, you had to rewrite your apps to run as Java applets. You do not have to rewrite things to run on WebAssembly- all the existing C, C++, etc. code is compatible, up to the platform API.
My understanding was that the maintainer of Gogs had stopped replying to any issues/PRs for a period of a few weeks and refused to add any other maintainers to the project, so people wanted to fork and ensure that it'd always have an active maintainer.

Yep. You're better off just chartering private flights when you need to.
Not really. Buffett bought a jet, after calling it indefensible for years, and actually named it The Indefensible.

I reckon it is a good investment for many CEOs. There time is worth FAR MORE to their companies than whatever a jet costs to run, the saved time is invaluable as is the clarity that comes with better conditions when flying.
Analog fetishization is definitely annoying. But there are sometimes desirable features of simple analog equipment that are more complicated to implement in digital circuits. Sometimes that simplicty can be helpful to certain workflows, or aesthetically pleasing in its own right. A canonical example is the gentle peaking behavior of vacuum tube vs. digital amps. Even if it's true that you can get an arbitrarily good approximation of that gentler sound with an all digital circuit, I think some people just like having simple analog circuits that they can reason about more directly. Regardless of whether those mental models are physically accurate, if using an analog circuit allows a person to conceptualize the workflow in a way that leads to interesting art, that's what matters. And again, the aesthetic of the machinery itself can totally be worth something to a user, even if the circuit's functionality as a black box is no different than a digital circuit's.

I do agree about how annoying it is to see people misled about the quality of digital products, though, particularly for consumer goods where people aren't interested in the implementation details anyway. I'm not about to splurge on an analog amplifier for my speakers, and I don't think most consumers should bother doing so either (again, unless they really appreciate the implementation details of an analog circuit).

A commercial pilot at a regional airline makes less than $50,000 a year, many are closer to $30,000. When you get hired by a big airliner (over 1500 hours of flight time) and eventually you get to captain (not co-pilot) then you increase substantially, but nowhere close to $20,000, unless you fly a drug lord in strange places.

I also haven't watched the whole thing :/ but I have worked in many areas of film/video production. I have always been amazed at how these machines and their operators performed this magic for decades but were overlooked by both their audience and industry. This studio and this machine are glorious wonders of 20th century media technology and art history but almost nobody realizes this. Very sad. :(

It is similar to the CGI industry's hard work being overlooked over the years, but maybe that is changing retrospectively as more people come to realize the feats they accomplished on antique hardware.
I've watched the "market for data" market for a while and it is tricky to make work. I'd like to see it work for somebody.

If you are a business, your data (about your operations, customers, etc.) is valuable to you. Other data sets, not so much.

For instance you list the NIST digits, which are popular for tuning up algorithms, but are unlikely to be the core data set for anything that brings in revenue or lowers costs. This is free data, which means you can't make much if any money selling access to it.

Data cleaning is a major cost of any data project; I remember the time a marketing guy I knew bought 250,000 email addresses and some didn't even have @ signs! Give business people something that has value for them and lower the barriers to using it, and you might have a product.

The issue with movies is that they are constrained to a 2 hour window. There is only so much character development, nuancing and world building you can do in such a short time frame.

TV shows have hours upon hours to build up their story.

Another thing that bugs me is that directors keep reusing the same big shot actors, many of whom are not worth their price tag in my opinion. Acting isn't rocket science. With enough practice, any graduate from an acting school could do well. Why not try new blood more often? It would drive production costs down and add variety to casts. Straying away from the usual body models wouldn't hurt either. After seeing Tom Cruise lookalike #4, I would gladly welcome anything but a #5.
As someone who grew up in zone 4 and has lived for 18 years in zone 6, I don't recognise the last point here at all.
I’ve just finished reading ‘Adventures in the screen trade’ by William Goldman, the guy who wrote ‘All The President’s Men’, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid’ and ‘The Princess Diaries’.

While written in the early 80s, it’s thoroughly entertaining and very insightful as to how movies actually get made. His main point is that nobody knows anything. No one knows why one film was a hit and another wasn’t. So successful properies/stars/directors are milked for all they’re worth until suddenly they’re not.

Read the book, it’s great.

For most you can't just "decide" to stop being addicted either.
"The view that you expound upon involve hardly any original thinking, just repeating things you heard somewhere. If you want a detailed rebuttal, provide sources and links, as the commenter I linked to has."

That sounds awfully like "don't repeat things you heard elsewhere, show things you heard elsewhere instead"! I'm sourcing from Contours of the World Economy 1-2030 AD, FYI. It hooked me to the notion of quantitatively studying pre-modern economies.

"The colonial govt. did increase area under irrigation: to force farmers to grow cotton and Indigo, bought from them at exploitative prices, shipped to England and then exported back to India. Does Maddison talk about that?"

Of course he does! But he also doesn't pine for Mughals with claims of them "bringing immense prosperity to the region", which is why he actually enumerates the deleterious impacts of pre-colonial policies as well as of the colonial ones. Of course, the deleterious effects of colonial policies I didn't dispute, but you've already known that since you've read my comment you were responding to.

"All these systems, destroyed, ruined by Colonial policies."

Yes. And also by shifting demand, partly by emulating foreigners by the middle/upper classes who were formerly serviced by those craftsmen. And by quality improvements of novel goods. And probably for another number of reasons. There's usually a number of causes for things in complex systems.

"Yes, agriculture was an important sector, but it was so in every economy at that time. In addition, there was a substantial middle class of weavers, craftsmen,a rtisans etc. which made the Bengal region alone responsible for 25% of the worlds GDP."

In other words, India was no different from anyone else. Lots of people = lots of GDP in the pre-modern period. And even the Ancient Rome had a concentration of +60% GDP per capita in the region of Italy so it's entirely plausible that some parts (such as Bengal in India) were better off than others, no surprise there. But reconciling the claim of 25% of world's GDP coming from India with the claim of 25% of world's GDP coming from Bengal necessitates the productivity of India\Bengal being zero. That claim seems problematic. You can't have both unless the non-Bengal India was devoid of population.
