I read your post carefully, and I even agree with parts of it. There are major modules/module families that don't work together.

However, that's light-years from the claim that I quoted.

There are a lot of different ways of doing the same things in Perl the language and in the CPAN ecosystem. That's a strength and weakness. But in my experience, the authors of most of the modules care very deeply about doing things in a sustainable way.

I appreciate you being constructive, but I thought the pronouns I used made it sufficiently clear that I consider myself as a part of this culture (and thus subject to the characterizations I made about programmer humor). Anyway, I do not mind the negative reactions, even though I may reply in disagreement.

This makes little sense. Illegal immigrants usually occupy the least qualified and least-paid jobs. Few persons that are qualified to apply for a manufacturing would rather apply for a job that an illegal immigrant could get.
But democracy isn't the only alternative, or the best one.

What we are really discussing is totalitarian regimes. One is Apple, a top down secretive corporation with policies, dictating what will happen. The other is China, which like many Communist countries uses the "will of the people" as a surrogate for its own desires.

Representative democracy can have same issues. Take for example Prohibition, or the current war on drugs. And many other things.

I think that when it comes to PLATFORMS, there should be no barrier to entry. I would go further and say that I want there to be CENTRALIZED COLLABORATION on a platform, and not competition (eg of browser makers). But the platform must implement every extension that becomes popular enough. In other words when an app or extension becomes popular enough, it should be incorporated into the platform as one standard.

Think of how much headache would be solved and how much more could have been done if there were no browser quirks, and only one major browser.

The difference is that ANYONE should be able to build their own browser extension or website. ANYONE should be able to host it on the internet accessible to all. And if it gets popular enough it gets added to the feature list for EVERYONE.

However, this is a different form of governance - nothing is RESTRICTED from people and they are free to try new things.
And this is very likely the reason for the mistake. See, Google Translate seems to take a shortcut to translating between language A and B, by translating from A to English and English to B.

For instance, for the last five years or so I've been seeing GT translate the Greek word for "swallow", the bird, to the French word for "to swallow", the verb [1]. In Greek and French, the two words have nothing in common (Greek is helidoni/katapino, French is hirondele/avaler). But in English, they are homonyms (swallow/swallow). It seems that GT sees a Greek word, translates it in English, then finds a set of homonyms and simply chooses the translation that's most "likely", meaning the one that's used to most often- which of course means it gets one meaning wrong all the time.

Last year Google made a big todo about its neural nets inventing an "interlingua", an intermediary language to which and from which all other languages it knows can be translated. In practice, I think this "interlingua" ends up being just plain old English.

_________________

[1] Recently I started seeing the translation "machaon", a kind of butterfly, which Google translates in English as "swallowtail". "Avaler" is still available as an alternative.
Are these people being naive, or are they just designing a better dish-washing robot?

The typical "dish washing robot" that people draw does a much better job of washing dishes. It doesn't require me to do all the hard work of scrubbing away all the tricky bits of stuck-on food before entrusting the robot with the work, nor the annoying work of unloading the dishwasher when it's done. I'll take my dish-washing robot over your boring old dishwasher any day of the week.

> Virtual keypresses were sent with WinAPIs SendInput and pixels copied off screen with BitBlt.

This methodology alone could account for the differences in timing between Win7 and Win10. For all we know, Win10 could just be slower at getting the pixels back to the program from BitBlt, or SendInput could be slower triggering events, or a multitude of other issues.

The best way to truly detect key-to-photon latency is with an external video recorder that has both the screen and keyboard in frame. Grant a few ms of noise for key travel distance.

>In some industries the labour shortage seems acute. Now is not a good time for Americans to remodel their bathrooms: tile and terrazzo contractors earn 11% more per hour than a year ago (and fully one-third more than in 2014).

This is exactly the type of jobs that have been flooded by immigrants from Latin America - both illegal and legal - for decades. I speak Spanish and often talk with immigrants at bars or wherever, and they work in numerous industries.

The one thing that changed my view of the whole system was realizing that absolutely no company gives a shit about the laws. Guys who had been here a year or less, couldn't speak any English, were hired for government contracting jobs on roads and the metro paying tons of overtime at near-union wages.

Also, labor markets are fluid. If a citizen can make more in construction, he might quit his shitty manufacturing job.

But, hey, anything to continue with the absurd narrative that massive immigration hasn't been a very major part of wage destruction for both blue-collar and also white-collar jobs via H1Bs, OPT, L1, etc.
That's a perfectly valid company policy. What I think is different is that it's quickly becoming a cultural expectation in some cohorts, not merely an employee-friendly perk.

DirectComposition. It's been there since Windows 8, and is used by Chrome among other apps (see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=524838).

It's possible some hardware already does overlays, given that the talk I linked above was 2 years ago. I haven't researched this carefully.

There's a bunch of stuff in the interface to support video and also integrated 3D content ("create swapchain for composition"), but I don't know how well it works. In my experiments and reading through the Chromium bug tracker, Microsoft's implementation of all this stuff is far from perfect, and it's hard, for example, to completely avoid artifacts on resizing.

To your original comment, they just won't get used while restrictionless alternatives exist. I for one don't want this on all dev tools, because I don't want to provide support on the things I give out for free (which may make it one of those "restrictionless alternatives" I mentioned). Rather, I go the complete other direction and make caveats like non-support and potential stagnation clear. I treat things differently though if it is code core to my business, but the ancillary code itself is not my business.

If the device is smart enough, thoroughness can be a choice so the user can opt for multiple systematic passes instead of being required to wait through multiple random uneven passes.

No they don't. If you have a commit that spans the top
repo and 3 submodules and you try do all that and something goes wrong, does git roll it back to where you were? Nope.

In BK, with nested repos, we talk a cluster wide lock, which locks the top repo and all the subrepos, and then we go do the commits in all the subrepos and then in the top. If anything goes wrong we roll back to where we were. It's all or nothing, and atomic across the collect.

Please read the nested link I provided. It's nothing like git. It works in a nested collection of subrepos exactly how a mono repo works. Git has nothing like this.
Also upgrades to the 800 series. I have 2 of the 960's and one 800 series, the difference is their intelligence is massive, yet from a hardware perspective they're almost identical [one lacks a camera].

I think there is some truth to what we're both saying. At my particular company, the koolaid has always been about how innovate and exciting the work is.

But you get in and spend a lot of your time fixing bugs and working on old, monolithic codebases.

People want to make a difference, employers sell the vision, and then there's this mis-match and you have the disengaged worker.

I think the problem is the reality that most software jobs need skilled workers, but skilled workers are often seeking enough intellectual stimulation from their jobs to make a difference, and a lot of this work isn't the the type of life-changing envisioned.
This assumes you are synchronizing the updates with the monitor's refresh cycle, however if you aren't (and the major reason you see lag in compositors is because they do such synchronizations) then composition is indeed slower since it involves several more moving parts and the need to orchestrate the refresh of multiple windows (as opposed to the instant "i want to draw on the screen now" model that X11/Xorg without a compositor and Windows without DWM use).

I give a few more details here:

Where I think this will go is pretty easy, as it happens already among the less-educated.

Women will select a mate based more on looks than money, have a kid or two, then divorce him (aka "starter marriages".) Child support from the male will probably not matter for women who make enough money, but might still be a useful tool to keep the ex-hubby in line.

This is probably a simpler, if more cynical, means than freezing ova for the "perfect" man to fertilize.

And while men at the tippy-top might take a pass on divorcees with kids, for most men beyond a certain age, it's a fact of life, and frankly, we have decades of cultural brain-washing that makes such attitudes seem sexist.
I've been in Bitcoin for over 7 years. This type of back and forth is exactly what happened to Mt Gox. And you know what? My friend got the fuck out of Mt Gox before it burst.

When you have to choose between following a pre-bankrun rumour or following unsubstantiated pushback, follow the rumour. It costs you maybe 5% to get out vs 100% if you're wrong and banks / money holders compete on assuring people that there is less risk with their solution so if Tether can't provide assurance then that is their problem. Cut and run.

The purpose of bitcoin mining is not to "find coins," although the mining reward might make it seem like that. The purpose is to provide enough hashing power to the network to cryptographically verify transactions using a consensus algorithm, which prevents any single actor from double-spending. Without enormous hashing power, the network would be vulnerable to a 51% attack by a sophisticated attacker.

This is not to say that proof of work is the best consensus algorithm, but given it's age, the fact that Bitcoin has stood up so well to the test of time is a testament to it's viability as a consensus protocol.
Do the illegal immigrants take those jobs because they pay so little, or do those jobs pay so little because there has always been a steady supply of illegal immigrants desperate to fill them at below-market prices?

If your business model relies on wages being suppressed by those illegal workers, then maybe your business deserves to go bankrupt when the supply dries up and Americans start demanding $15/hour.
> This is "bounce before document.ready()?"

Since we're talking about SSR which happens before anything else, latency is going to push out all load-time metrics equally.

> I'm thinking that with all the other API goo in many mainstream/mass-media sites, "initial app load time" is something users are probably pretty tolerant of

It's all relative. Presumably you're competing on some level with those mainstream/mass-media sites, so users will punish/reward you if your site takes more/less time to load than average.

My father graduated college making $42k/yr. Inflation adjusted, that was about $60k/yr in today's dollars. I just graduated, have experience in the field, and am getting a salary of $35k/yr in today's dollars. Meanwhile, upper management is getting millions.

There was a long lag between the time when companies invested in hardware and the time when worker productivity started really picking up. And a lot of the job reduction didn't happen in firings, it happened in not replacing retirements.

Unemployment lags behind productivity increases.

Productivity increases lag behind tech adoption.

Tech adoption lags behind innovation.

innovation lags behind technology maturation.

technology maturation lags behind science.

I'd be curious what the cost savings in the end were regardless.

An untrained hand takes so much longer to complete a task that a professional is used to regardless of the understanding. Do you want to slog along a journeyman in video conference for 8 hours or hire him for 2? What's your cost going to be with either?

Beyond that a lot of physical tasks can be done blind, does he "see" that you've threaded the hose properly or applied the compound properly when you're doing it by feel as your eyes can't reach behind whatever you're working at?

I like the idea but I always relate back to my own real world experiences and think about how inefficient it is to remotely task with someone. Ever try helping your parents navigate their computer over the phone? Imagine doing that with a professional @ $100/hr or whatever to replace your faucet or wire new fixtures and run cabling to a breaker panel
Hi, I'm your ISP. Now that I'm not limited by net neutrality over-regulation, life is going to be better for you.

Hacker news and those other niche new sites you visit are niche sites and as such have a lower routing priority. If you would like to prioritize them with full enhanced speed, please upgrade to niche news site plan. An additional $9.99 per month. Sorry, they're so slow right now.

You've noticed all your https traffic is slow now? Easy fix: install this software which proxies all your HTTPS traffic through our fast and secure gateway. This lets us add "supercookies" to all your web requests. We then sell your name and address to operators of sites you visit.

And what's great is that this software also allows us to insert our own advertisements into the websites you visit. Now we can finally take revenue from Google and Facebook and become our own advertising empire. We've wanted Google-money for a long time, but we've never had a way to force ads on users because we don't offer compelling services.

With the recent increases in Netflix and YouTube prices, we recommend you subscribe to ISPFlix. It's an additional $24.99 per month which is half the price of Netflix. We've wanted Netflix money for a long time, but we've never had a way to force users to use our services over Netflix. Now we love cord cutters.

Oh, you've noticed the decreased traffic to the website you operate? That might be due to your site being so much slower for users. If you'd like your site to be fast again, please pay an additional expedited content service fee. It's an additional $299 per month.

Oh, it looks like you have a smart thermostat installed. That's an extra $9.99 per month for the home automation service plan. We'll block packets that look like they're from your thermostat for now. We should let you know we offer a full home automation and security product. It's a terrible product that is not competitive.

See? Regulation to make sure we won't block or slow down sites or alter your traffic just doesn't make sense. It's totally not important to anyone, but we are going to promise we won't block or slow down sites. Our terms and conditions may change at any time.
How would that accomplish anything? Are you going to sign the latest Firefox for her yourself?
