Though just relaxing the severe real estate constraints of screens may be a big deal. It's much easier for tooling to provide speculative content when its "off to the side, just in case you care" rather than "in you face, covering what you were working on". So various existing "cute... but it's just not worth the cost of dealing with" ideas might become viable. Code analytics and documentation could be ever present, accessible at glance, just off to the side.

That's one fun XR puzzle game. Given a domain where you deeply understand the constraints which determine some system shape, ponder what will change as XR alters the UI constraints. And what approaches already tried, might deserve another look.
I worry too and have also started to migrate my data offline.

For over-land flights, you don't think the sonic boom might have any impact on wildlife?
That's not proof at all. 60 years ago markets were much less efficient than they are today, and Buffett Partnerships was incredibly small compared to the size Berkshire is now.

Buffett has said it ad nauseum- the anchor around his neck is the size. Beating the market with what $200 billion to invest? That's leagues different from beating it with $10 million.
It endangers not only knowledge by the mere sanity of many people...
No. 2.17 MB is NOT enormous. Usually there is no runtime library. In contrast, C or C++ runtime libraries can easily exceed that size. For example, vc_redist.x64.exe is 13.9 MB.
For the end consumer in this realm there is only victory, regardless of what happens to Boom. If 4 hour transatlantic flights become a viable option again I frankly don’t care who succeeded or failed to get to that point.

I do enjoy watching companies like Boom, because this is the kind of underdog chutzpah that the word “courage” is supposed to describe.

At least fruit juice has some nutritional value. You're right though that it still isn't a "healthy" choice.
Because a lot of us really hate JavaScript. I see JavaScript as being somewhat like racism. It used to be really bad and it's gotten a little better. And those who are happy with the status quo (JS devs) keep saying stuff along the lines of, "it's better now...I thought we were past this." They're continually told, "no, from our perspective it's a fundamentally-broken language and we won't be happy until we can write anything front-end without a single line of JavaScript." And yet because they're happy with the way things are, they have problems really hearing that message and understanding just how unacceptable the current situation is for others.
> humans usually eat 3 times a day

I have no contrary statistical evidence, but I suspect this assumption may be wrong - especially with regard to poverty-stricken countries.

I count myself as a relatively privileged individual and for more than half of my lifetime (since being responsible for my own meals) I have mostly chosen to eat two meals per day. I know a lot of similar people.

Three meals per day is more than is needed for sufficient nourishment.

Not necessarily a dealbreaker. Concorde did ok with British airways flying out of NY. Assuming the rules don’t change there are plenty of viable routes out of Houston, NY, and SFO.
Those were pretty good classes, I enjoyed them. Learned to use a coping saw, some wood and metal working. We had a lathe there and all. Some of that I had learned from my dad, but we just didn't have a lathe or those other tools and materials at home.

Our classes also included doing demolition. The school was being remodeled so they gave us hammers and pick axes and told us to go wild on a few walls. Totally unhealthy and risky. But it was an exciting activity for a bunch of 14 year olds.

Another time the teacher told to "go and get these bricks from that construction site, so and so will let you in". Looking back I am pretty sure, he was sending us to steal after he cut a deal with the guard.

Oh and also other class was told to cut some trees. Those trees were not on the school property.

Then teacher came drunk to class a few times.

Good times, good times...
Even if Berkshire didn't produce an underwriting profit, it'd still be very successful because of the returns they make on their float. There's a line obviously you can't cross but even if they had a combined ratio of like 1.05 they'd be fine. I like their discipline though.

Berkshire has always had a huge insurance component. They bought NICO in the late 60s and built the business to a large part around that.

I never said it's a deal breaker, just that it's not possible to fly supersonic over the land.

I do hope that the Boom team will be able to deliver a viable service for benefit us all. Would love nothing more than to travel faster.
I tried this out a little while ago and I was really impressed. It's worth mentioning that this isn't just a Debian chroot/container, the software is actually compiled to run natively on the Android NDK. It seems like they work around any limitations of Bionic compared to glibc by patching NDK headers and using support libraries.

How did you figure that out? Looks like getting permission to make quiet sonic booms over land is a key part of their business model:

Did you also predict the failure of the iPad in the marketplace, due to its unfortunate name?
Apparently non oceanic flights are banned in the US, so it’s currently a non-issue here. Not aware of the EU restrictions.
Boom (and others) are working to get those rules changed to limit maximum noise rather than maximum speed. If they can figure out how to make Mach 2.0 as quiet as Mach 0.85 to people in the flight path, go for it:

> It doesn't satisfactorily make the case that targeting the audience rather than the topic-related websites doesn't work or make sense.

I've been saying this needs investigating for a long time. From my understanding of things like triggers, priming, threshold for action, etc -- you're probably doing yourself a disservice having out of context advertising.

When you advertise in context, you get constructive interference between the context and your message, leading to a more powerful effect -- your buyer was ready to hear what you wanted to sell; when you advertise out of context, you get destructive interference between the context and your message, leading to muddled or even negative effects -- advertising roast beef on a porn site is probably bad for all three parties! (No matter how much the person viewing porn likes roast beef.)

"Targeted" rather than topic based advertising ignores basic facets of human psychology (eg, that we're very context based animals) in order to pump up ad stock and sell more volume of a diluted product -- because all of the "targeting" is fundamentally a worse replacement for the signal shown by visiting a topical website. It's about inventory fluffing, not efficiency.

That said, the article didn't do the best job supporting that point.
My middle school in the USA (Texas, in particular) included a 'Technical Applications' curriculum. As of ~2001-2004, this included:

Level 1: basic computer (Windows and Mac OS) usage, desktop productivity/publishing apps (Microsoft Office), and basic digital photography and image/video editing (Adobe Creative Suite).

Level 2: HTML, JavaScript, advanced image/video editing (again, Adobe Creative Suite)

Level 3: PHP, AppleScript, apprenticeship handling low-level technical support issues and IT operations tasks for the school district

Level 1 was obligatory for all students. Levels 2 and 3 were available for 2nd and 3rd year Middle School students that wished to continue the progression. Very few opportunities aside from typical digital arts or compsci options were available at the high school level afterwards.

Most (65% or better) of my peers that took the 2nd and 3rd level Tech Apps courses are now employed in some sort of IT role.

Business travelers will be buying these. They'll have a travel budget, the trip will be justified, and the company card will pay. It will pass through silently and might eventually show up in a travel policy that states how only executives are allowed to book supersonic flights.

Not only won't the passengers be mad, they might even be more likely to fly given the reduced travel time. It will now be much faster from NYC to London than to the Bay.

"actually earn a profit. In doing so, they can pay dividends and or profit sharing to employees,"

Paying dividends and buying back stock is generally not a good option for fast growing companies.

The inclination will always to be invest in the economic growth.

Payouts are for when your investors can get a better return on on that money than the company can.

When companies are growing, it's almost always a better economic deal to 'keep the money in the company'.

IE individual employees may make a 7-10% return on their tied up stocks, but only 5% on the market. So financially, you can see how it makes sense for companies to keep the money - even though, any individual employee would rather 'cash out and diversify' ... it doesn't get to work that way.

I think that employees selling shares to new investors, even if there are no new shares created is an idea that might work.

Also - sadly - so many startup employees are not savvy enough to figure any of it out. So they get a raw deal.

There is a small number of people who would argue any size is fine, and there are a couple of TV shows and spokespeople saying this, but it is a tiny portion of people and media representation. The dominant "real talk" is that we're too fat and that too fat is unhealthy. The dominant, unspoken attitude (as would be the case in France, it seems) is one of active discrimination and lack of mere acceptance of the humanity of obese people.
Their FAQ says:

So I don't think they have that presumption.
What exactly would you use it for? Not trying to be negative, I'm just not sure what would be worth typing out on a phone keyboard on the go, instead of waiting until I have access to an actual keyboard. I guess if you have a keyboard for your phone that's also different. (so for android tablets etc this is great)

Go runtime is included in the executable. C or C++ do not automatically do that when writing a simple "hello world" and compiling it into an executable. stdio isn't statically linked by default.

And when rid of debugging symbols, even when importing the fmt package :

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
fmt.Print("Hello World")
}

go build -ldflags "-s -w" hello.go

is 1.3MB .
IIRC, keeping the weight off for years puts you among the 5 percent that have done so successfully. That is remarkably telling, I think.

Some would seem to advocate more shaming, marginalization, tough love, etc. and that's just absurd.

Hi, I've been using Rust to WebAssembly very recently for a toy project [0] and posted about it very recently on HN [1].

So my answers:

1. I'm using both wasm and asm.js (installed using rustup) and it works for me extremely well, no weird bugs, very easy to set up.

However I'm really missing a way to pass arguments to the linker, like "-s BINARYEN_METHOD='asmjs,native-wasm'" or "-s EMCC_DEBUG=1" or "-s DETERMINISTIC=1" or "-s SIMD=1" or "SIDE_MODULE=1"

I think there is already a bug opened for this but I'm not able to find it on Google right now.

From crate.io, I'm missing a N-dimensional array library (BLAS/LAPACK like) that compile to webassembly. There is ndarray[3], but its available BLAS dependencies are using fortran and therefore not compilable to wasm. Maybe thoses projects could help: emlapack[4], weblas[5]

Also, I know it would be difficult to implement and would need some kind of better interaction with emscripten, but anything that makes it easier to pass and convert/cast object/arguments to and from javascript would be welcome. Right now, it requires a lot of boilerplate and unsafe code, mostly with structs [6].

2. I'm using it and considers using it more, I love it, thank a lot to everyone working on it!

3. Right now I'm deep into deep learning and I'm thinking about writting an implementation in Rust (that's why it would be nice to have a BLAS/LAPACK library). It could then be used on the Tensorflow playground[6] to showcase the technology.

I just tried building a statically linked 'hello world' c++ program, and co-incidentally, the binary also happened to be 2.1 MB!

#include <iostream>

int main( int, const char *[] )
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

'g++ -static -o hello hello.cpp' produces a binary of 2191112 bytes (Linux x64). Stripping it of debug symbols leaves a 1.7 MB file.

Because you can find libraries for all the "Enterprise" technologies easily. Besides .net, not many ecosystems offer that kind of library support. From XML signatures, to pkcs11, to complete soap support (including ws-security), to many others.

Fact is, in the Enterprise you'll have to interface with many of the aforementioned technologies, and Java still has the most support for them. We find that even in .net we sometimes have to implement some things on our own from the horribly convoluted "Enterprise" technologies because a specific feature isn't supported.
That's true, but a brick still requires a sophisticated set of knowledge which we accept to be public domain by this point, after a few thousand years.

You need to know how to make and fire clay, what sorts of additives can help, how to package and ship them en masse...

There are a lot of problems involved in bricks. OSHA once categorized bricks as hazardous materials (don't breathe the dust when grinding them). We've just gotten really good at dealing with those problems because of how useful bricks are and how easy it is to teach people about making them.

Anecdotally, I once took an archaeology course in college, and we had a guest speaker come in who knew how to do flint-knapping[1]. Like, prehistoric toolmaking out of volcanic rocks.

I just came back to San Francisco from a week in Paris. The biggest surprise to me was how large the typical portion of food was at a restaurant. Everywhere from a tourist oriented charcuterie to a hipster joint in Montmartre. I told my friend they looked like American sized portions.

Meanwhile the Bay Area never seemed all that obese to me. Leave the Bay Area and all of a sudden you'll see a surprising number of people so fat they can only move around in a motorized wheelchair.
As far as I can tell they want out for two reasons:

1. They want to preserve their own culture, which is apparently distinct from Spain's.

2. They've some issue with the Spanish government, seems to be around corruption and/or unfair treatment. Don't know enough about this to comment on it though.

How does seceding make sense here? It's not the only solution, it's one of many, and it's probably one of the worst - they're going to torpedo Spain's recovering economy, and have to build a new country of their own. Who's going to run the hospitals? Where's the money/electricity/food/water/fuel etc coming from?
