Whether this has a chance of working depends on the exact diameter of the narrow portions of the submerged route. My impression is that they were very narrow, perhaps too small for a rigid container containing a human?
Apple's case was a design patent case, this is a utility patent. The two are quite different.
If Koreans really want to work less, then some company would reduce the work week to 40 hours and get flooded with all of Korea's best employees.

The fact that this hasn't happened means that something else is preventing the market from regulating itself.

Perhaps people prefer to work longer hours and possibly earn more. Perhaps the market is very competitive and this is the only way to stay relevant. Perhaps something makes it difficult for companies to hire more employees. Perhaps Korean people can work 68 hours with little diminishing return. Perhaps the taxes are too high. I don't know.
"As you might guess, this means that I don't do business with commercial airlines."

It must be wonderful to be able to fly private, but that isn't an option for most of the people that are the subject of this conversation.
Just to add to the list: the best way to access Facebook on a mobile device is "mbasic.facebook.com". It loads considerably faster than the alternatives and doesn't block you from using using the messages feature.
If they are taxing on the IP level or packet level, then yes, you could make this argument.

But if they are taxing on the service level, ie FB or What's App, then no, it's just information they are taxing. They could feasibly just use 'packets' or 'IP' as a crude measure of that service.
I picture a lot of them living at their office, like Richard Stallman was in the Free as in Freedom [1]. If their managers had to worry about going to prison, they'd probably be prohibited from working at their offices.

Lessing spoke about this much more frequently than in a single anecdote. It was a major issue for her late in life.
Multiple sites quoting the same soundbite doesn't make it correct.

Plus even the supposed french origin (Béton brut) is derived from the word brutal...again predating concrete. Beton = Concrete, so even that "origin" is fairly recent.
Fundamentally you have to choose. Does society serve the market, or does the market serve society?

I realize that legislating that it not rain on Saturday is ridiculous. But it is certainly reasonable to influence the market. Save in the good times, spend in the bad. Ensure market participants are well equipped to make informed decisions, tax what you don’t want and subsidize what you do.

I (think I) understand that the market is incredibly powerful, and should be harnessed for the advancement of society, like oil. But it requires careful thought. It’s not as simple as a u shaped harness for a horse.

Of course, I’m just here for the points, so feel free to disregard, rather than having an actual conversation.
Yes that's what I stated above. I've also stated that I haven't just read the news. We've talked to that team physically.
Being language/platform neutral does not mean it is going to fulfill most use cases people would have for c bindings.
Java tends to be "good enough" for a lot of use cases out of the box.
It might help a bit with libraries like netty and memory management, but it's not going to work on real world math code which, as I stated, is our main use case.

That codegen isn't going to match what you need to do for real speed on cpus or gpus when writing vectorized math code.

Re: his last point. That's exactly what we talked to that team about. We don't feel those tools are going to work for real world use cases. We already do the codegen and auto bindings/mapping ourselves in addition to the memory management ourselves.
This is, not surprisingly, overstated. In all of the cases where you used the back button and it didn't work. Yes. That sucked.

There are, however, plenty of places where you did not even attempt to use the back button, and more than a few where it would be nonsensical. Purchased something? Want to repeat the purchase? What about sending an email?

Yes, much of this is covered by "posts can't be 'backed' to." However, the point is still that there is a lot of scenarios where the back button doesn't work that you flat out don't notice.

(And I say this as someone that hates the "forever scroll" pattern we seem to have adopted.)
Yes, the divers have to unstrap their air tank and swim through holding it in front of them.
I'm currently working 26 weeks a year (one on, one off) and it is awesome. I realize that I'm very lucky to be able to do this - I have low expenses, almost no debt, and programming pays well enough for me to live comfortably on about half my previous salary.

I used to be planning for early retirement, but this trade-off seems safer. After all, I could spontaneously die the day after I retire and then what was all that work for?
Andy is the principal author of the posts on https://www.folklore.org/ , which is all about the development of the mac. Definitely worth going through in an afternoon, if you're interested in that era.

> Whenever I hear about people justify why they work so hard it’s almost always because they want to become rich so they won’t have to work

I think most people want to work so they can afford certain things - depending on their values either a really neat place to live, a bunch of experiences, etc, but then find that in order to work to afford those things you get caught up in a cycle. There's plenty of people who aren't optimizing for retired life in their 60s and 70s - but at the same time recognize that after they actually CAN'T work any more they need to take some care of themselves.

We tend to talk about work and jobs as if they're always mind-numbing drudgery - I think that's what people buy into, especially by having families and needing to be a breadwinner. You don't need to have a family. You don't need a big house. But for a lot of people, they want a family, and they want a big house. I wish there were more society did to set up alternate lifestyles, but it is sort of the engine that keeps society going.
Judging from the chart at the end, it looks like monopolistic price gouging explains it. It's the third-highest revenue per hour of the entire list, but the total hours travelled is fairly low compared to others on the list. Compare the three North American transcontinental flights: half the revenue per hour margins, but far more hours traveled, or simultaneously the lowest-margin and most-travelled routes on the list.
An aside to the main content of the article, I found interesting that Mexico topped the list - Mexicans seem to uphold the stereotype that they’re super hard workers.
Your post commits a common oversight, the fact that coercion beyond agreements perfectly a rational Homo Economicus would make is a reality.

Picking a different job isnt an option when ALL of the jobs require that, the situation in SK really is that extreme, and thats why this law was brought in.
Maybe they mean the area of ocean floor plowed > area of ocean, but the same parts of the ocean are being plowed over and over again by fishers. Most of the ocean is not being used for fishing.
There are "people with no employment, no bank account, nor vehicle to drive living in the US" who are U.S. citizens. Disenfranchising them is unamerican.
Right, Leventhal mentions that such an eventuality was one in a group of several considerations, but clearly does not think it was the primary factor.

From the paragraph following your quote:

> Finally and perhaps most significantly, personal egos and NIH (not invented here) syndrome certainly played a part. [...] [C]ertain leads and managers preferred to build their own rather adopting external technology—even technology that was best of breed. They pitched their own project, an Apple project, that would bring modern filesystem technologies to Mac OS X.

and

> Licensing FUD was thrown into the mix; even today folks at Apple see the ZFS license as nefarious and toxic in some way whereas the DTrace license works just fine for them. Note that both use the same license with the same grants and same restrictions.

Leventhal's chronology continues to suggest that ZFS on OS X re-emerged even after this licensing argument had been advanced, and that the project was finally killed by Larry Ellison himself, in the interest of keeping his personal friendship with Steve Jobs unaffected by business considerations.

While it is of course possible that Apple is willing to accept any "murkiness" around the license as it pertains to DTrace but not willing to do so as it pertains to ZFS, it just doesn't seem like your original statement that "they had to drop the whole thing because of the murky licensing on ZFS" represents the situation clearly (at least not if we accept the version of events as told by Adam Leventhal; personally, I have no direct knowledge).
No one on the team has ever used React.
None of this stuff violates the "rules" defined in the article. This isn't minimalism, it seems to be about making the formatting simple and purposeful.

The sites that do the things you list are horrid because they just throw libraries at the problem.

When I made that observation in another comment you strongly disagreed with me.
Isn't this just going to end up being an air-filled capsule steered by divers? Not that that's a bad thing, mind you, so long as it works.
That's funny to see how so many people are pro-brutalist for buildings..
At work we have an on-site coffee bar, they used the "industrial-look": exposed pipes and ceiling, it's very annoying because it's very noisy, I suspect that many brutalist buildings are the same: very unpleasant for those who work there.
It's mostly just an inflated kevlar bag with some valves.
I haven’t had a chance to look through all the links yet but thanks for following up! Will definitely review.
Who says the value needs to represent a scalar value? Why not encode an encrypted JSON string as the value.
I do actually suspect the Air will disappear as an offer in due time.

When the Air was released, it had too many limitations, and too high a cost, to take over the macbook's role. Its primary market was people who really valued the mobility over all else. But as they iterated it closed the gap, until it overtook the macbook, and the macbook offer shrivelled up and died.

If you swap 'macbook' and 'Air' in that narrative, you see history repeating - today we're at the first step of that. "The new macbook" is too limited and too expensive to take the Air's place, but give them a few iterations, and I suspect the Air will become unnecessary in the line-up.
No free lunch in search and optimization
It's like mandating a certain minimum stone mass, arguing that small stones are ineffective projectiles, and that we need to help stop people from getting scammed by unscrupulous stone vendors. But in reality all it does is make it so that only giants can use slingshots effectively.
By now, Germany could have 100M or 1G internet in every home. Major cities could have been connected in 1990! With that infrastructure, you can offer wlan everywhere and role out GSM much much faster.

With such an internet, smartphones would have been adopted much earlier. The digitalization would have started much earlier. Consumers would have poured money into phones much earlier.
We are living at least 5-10 years in the past because of that decision.

Whatever was paid with that donation, I don't think it's worse than killing an early adoption of the internet.
It’s not the time that you eat from what I’ve read. It ends up being a form of calorie restriction by reducing the number of hours that you eat.

If I come home, work out and then it’s late and I’m hungry,I’ll often just go to bed and not eat. It’s much easier dealing with hunger when you’re sleep than skipping breakfast and then trying to concentrate at work. It’s also, by definition, easier to resist temptation when you’re sleep....

For those confused by this: What they are making is less of a "submarine" in the mechanized sense, and more of an enclosed, air-tight & weighted chamber which two divers can tow between them (one diver in front, one behind) with a kid inside. So about the size of an adult body, hence being able to fit through the narrow caves.
I've spent an hour on this now, and I've learned more about actual C programming than in several previous attempts put together. What a teacher!
Totally agree. I worked at a company that gave us the option of working 4/10s (Mon-Thurs, 10 hour shifts) or what we called a 9/80 where you would Mon-Fri the first week, but only Mon-Thurs the second week (9 hour shifts). The 9/80 was the most productive schedule ever. Having a 3 day weekend every other weekend helped me recharge and really improved my work:life balance.
Well, I don't believe that corporations should be required to create a social safety net. I think the government should do it directly.
These are all fair points. Part of what drives my thinking is the assumption that the moneyed capitalists will fight to defend individual property rights, and that we can build a socialist system inside of the capitalist system. But as you say, the laws can always change to screw regular people. I’ll have to look in to the reform you speak of in Mexico. Do you have any more details to guide my search on that?

Thanks!

Read the book! It talks about how sugar is a sign of wealth in developing countries, and a sign of poverty in developed ones.
If designing around the back button is a pain point because you have to implement some fairly complicated solution is a good sign your design needs work. I'm working on a corporate site now and it's a mess of buttons going to modals or just loading content in place, and getting the back button to work is a HUGE pain and I really wish the designers thought about functionality and not just how stuff looks.
AFAIK, maximum occupancy is based on how quickly people could be safely evacuated in the event of an accident such as a fire. IMO, they're not comparable.

I could totally imagine someone working 40 hours a week and then more than 12 hours working on related projects for entertainment or educational purposes, or if you're a founder and very passionate about what you're doing. Maybe you have a big presentation lined up and you want to get a great demo ready in time. It's probably not sustainable for a long-term period of time, but you should still be free to decide how you want to invest your time.

(In this metaphor, you can even use your ax to carve a chainsaw out of a tree in your spare time, and then use that! But we don't. "It's too expensive."

As an example, here's a way to get Logical Paradigm programming in your favorite language http://minikanren.org/ It's simple, easy to understand and implement, and you can use it to do things like type inference and type checking with flexible and powerful constraints to define and ensure invariants and stuff like that. This stuff isn't expensive or even that challenging, we just don't do it.)
Upon second look, I might agree with you. At least on mobile, I'm only really fond of the yellow section.
Your best bet is a bespoke creation using the circuit sword, it’s quite a fine product.

Because they've been found guilty of it. Apple, Google and others were found to be colluding to keep salaries down and recently the same thing has been found in the animation industry with Pixar, Disney and others.
There are 10-15 high speed trains between each way per day Beijing and Shanghai (4.5 to 5.5 hour journey time).

Planes are nominally faster (2.5 hours), start earlier (6:30am) and end later (last departure is ~10:30pm, whereas last fast train is ~7pm). There are several airlines serving that route, meaning planes leave roughly every half an hour, and tickets can be had for as little as $110 one way (more at more sane hours or if you buy closer to the date of travel).

There are ~10,000 flights in each direction each year.
My older sites are like this. XHTML, even. Really fast loading, because they pull in nothing but the HTML page and their own images.
Sydney to Melbourne is #2 and is barely a 1 hour flight.
Is that really how it works though? Does the US not also take away the passport of suspects to prevent them from leaving the country?

If you think of JSX as a DSL rather than a souped up XML, it makes more sense.
XML is just a different kind of abstraction, so rather than thinking of it's output, it's good spots are in the way it helps structure your input.
I'm not sure if this was sarcastic or not, but I'd have to say pretty well. I have a 2008 iMac that's stuck on El Cap, and it still gets OS and Safari security updates.
Who says the kids will have to operate the sub? They can probably just pull it through.
Our ancestors had large brains and made tools and fire long before language or representational art.
Some structural change enabled that. Probably, there were individual components of it that arose before the whole change happened, and then some further time for it to spread through the population and then leave artefacts.

The spread may have been dramatic, because to an individual who could think, everyone else might seem like zombies or animals, easily manipulated or outwitted. How some "woke" Holdenesque teenagers feel themselves to be.

My point is that, maybe such a large brain isn't really necessary for intelligence. Just the structural change. Although, since we're the only ones, sufficient processing power seems a necessary precondition. It's just not clear how much.
Perhaps parrots are quite close.

There's the encephalization quotient, which finds the ratio between brain and body size is what's important. e.g. Whales have enormous brains, but dolphins seem to be more intelligent. Parrots, needing to be light enough to fly, have a high EQ. (Spiders too)

Aside: it's thought that human brain size is limited by the birth canal, and we are born prematurely, with swaddling and cots etc being artificial wombs. Bird nests are also artificial wombs.
I haven't heard him mentioned in a long time. What did he do after the Mac?
In my experience, the real issue is a paradigm gap. The one partner honestly thinks the other should be able to divine their intent, and blames them when they cannot. Their minds are in very different places, and bridging that gap is often nearly impossible.

In other words, it is just as ineffective to tell a low-EQ person to show more support as it is to tell a high-EQ person to please make their intent clearly known. You are asking them to do something they are unwilling or unable to do, often for deeply emotional reasons.

Even the asking itself, however gently it is done, angers them, because they take it as a personal offense. In their minds, the request itself is a demonstration of a lack of support and an uncaring attitude. Of course, that's not true. The person who provides information perceives this as support, as how to show they care.

What is the solution? Simply put: patient perseverance. It can take years for a relationship to overcome this gap. But it can happen, and both parties are better off for it. But it doesn't happen often because the relationship usually breaks up beforehand.
And you sleep better on an empty stomach once you are used to it.

I'm not an air expert, but I would guess that they're only including air hours, not taxiing, loading, unloading, etc. On a short-haul, 50k flights per year route, that's going to be a larger %age of each day.
Microsoft has been ripping out offices and replacing them with open floorplans - in many cases not even team rooms (which aren't so bad), but full out Facebook-style misery pits. From people I've talked to, guidance given to the teams that had to move into them included gems such as "avoid talking in the working space - if you need to have a conversation that could be distracting, please find a meeting room".

Well at least they grow some function as opposed to the most of the contemporary web.
10% would be excessive if it were typical for the general public, I would agree. But not so much for a tiny subset with high earnings and particularly complex affairs. It doesn't make one the moral equivalent of children locked in cages.
Indeed. The "submarine" is more like a duffel bag with air tanks and weights. It isn't rigid.

It will work for sure since bureaucrats always know better how to make everyone happy.

Maybe workers will get less net income (and on a per hour as well) since employers will have to robotize or spend time training newcomers, but we can attack evil employers so who cares.
> The term brutalism is derived from the French betón brut

it's "béton", not "betón". And I'm pretty sure the term comes from the word "brutal" because the style was deemed as such, figuratively, and not the use of concrete "brut", which makes no sense to begin with as buildings would be built with "béton armé" or "béton fibré".
