I am not comparing performance of a terminal window - Cmd and PowerShell both run connected to the same terminal app - Windows Console (conhost.exe) as discussed ad nauseum in the posts that are the subject of this thread.

But you're comparing a 30+ year old command-line shell that was built in 1989 to primarily provide compatibility with MS-DOS, with a modern object-based shell that runs atop the .NET CLR and provides VASTLY more power and capability than the MUCH older, simpler, shell that it supersedes.

It's like comparing startup perf of Notepad and VSCode … and saying that you won't use VSCode until it starts up as quickly as Notepad, even if VSCode saves you HOURS more per day/week than using Notepad would.
An app can't convey near the granularity of control to the driver compared to what a fully automated solution could do, and you run the risk of making the situation worse due to the driver splitting focus between paying attention to the road and following the app instructions.

To some extent we already have "the app" (google maps) and I wouldn't be surprised if it's running for close to 1/20 of drivers actively in traffic, and a whole lot more passively collecting and reporting location info that is trivial to map to major roads. To that argument Waymo somewhat belongs to Maps (or Maps to Waymo if you'd like).
Or it's a clue that we figured out that building a trap or using a weapon to kill an animal from greater distance burns a lot less calories.
...don’t use internet discussion to draw conclusions about consciousness. It’s just not credible.
Sure. But for it not to be a waste, they really do have to learn something. What hypotheses are they testing? What can this project tell us that we can't learn from the history of decentralized efforts?

I'm not saying that there isn't anything. Just that new efforts should be making new mistakes.

Disclaimer: I work for LinkedIn but have heard nothing about this.
This is a crowdfunding announcement, so I think asking whether the money will be well-used is not unreasonable. And I think it's also reasonable to point out how much money our field wastes on new things. This may be free software, but it's still software, and it's directly competing with one of the world's largest tech companies.
I feel like this is splitting hairs with words, but you may be wrong here.

Some people consider Neanderthals as a subspecies of human (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) vs completely distinct (Homo neanderthalensis)

So depending on how you decide on that question there may have been non-humans to give names and record history; as mentioned in the article the oldest cave paintings are thought to be from Neanderthals.
Right, the issue doesn't seem to be the fact that the law is being republished, but the fact that some government entity is making use of a private copyrighted standard in its laws in the first place.
I'd be curious about LinkedIn actually.
Often considered neutral? I'm unsure what you mean here, isn't the conceit of technology that it provides a competitive advantage? That strikes me as the opposite of equality.
The state of Utah did it in a massive way, it was a huge success, saved some money, improved employee morale, and productivity, so naturally they switched back shortly after[0].

The biggest issue was that people didn't like government services closed on Fridays. But instead of doing shifting or trying anything to mitigate that, they simply gave up.

The depressing thing is that this pattern happens over and over, be it remote work, work hours, work days, work dress, or a million other things. Society just "pins" normality arbitrarily then keeps returning to that.

The Forum program on NPR this week at one point covered this. The ceo of the company said on the last earnings call that this would not bankrupt them. I dont recall if they had cash, or just had secured financing for the repayment amount, but they can cover at least this fire okay.
As the web matures, I suspect better inter-service compatibility is necessary, and this potentially sets the stage for that. I'm optimistic for the future this lays the groundwork for, but am cautious with regards to this project specifically, simply due to the names involved; hopefully more FOSS leaders will become involved, or this version will become superseded by a later framework, as I do not trust the current members to design with sufficient privacy safeguards.

On a side note, this will likely continue the trend of increasing the barrier to entry for more of the internet, hurting startups. Though that's dependant on how the framework is designed.

Yes, can you assume so good faith from my part and let me know what part of my argument is not clear or what you disagree with.

My point is that if we get cheap or convenient cars to drive us around then this would increase number of kilometers done by cars.

About buses you have say 30 people using a bus and the bus is driving 10 km, if people would use cars and say they will be 3 people in a car you get 10 cars x 10 km = 100km, so you get 9 more vehicles on the road , you get the more energy consumed since a bus is not consuming 10 times more then a car.
I think the author was going for something like "When you see a const, think twice before changing anything inside that const."
I have to say, running is a little more than a hobby to me, (obsession perhaps?). So I understand how runners think about running, and the gear they purchase for running.

There's literally NO WAY I'd buy a pair of shoes I can run in for 100 miles for $250. I wouldn't be able to NOT think about every mile just costing me $2.50.

Call me frugal, but that's two pairs of any other shoe, and I can run in those for most of the summer.

A $250 pair of shoe is nothing but a luxury item for an extremely simple pastime. It's absolutely marketed to make you first feel inferior, then offer a solution. You always lose out when you fall for marketing.

Even with these shoes (provided these shoes do what they say they do), there are literally hundreds of thousands of people who can run faster than me, even if they all wear flip flops. I would be embarrassed to even consider purchasing shoes that promise to make me faster like these are marketed to do.

> This is the "Why go to that expensive restaurant?" argument all over again.

I mean, I guess so: "expensive" doesn't mean, "best". It just means, "expensive". The food may be good, or people pay because of the exclusivity the price creates. I'm not really about that sort of classicism. I like good tasting food too, but you know what I learned to do?

Cook.

To be a better a runner, I decided to run. Running taught me a lot about keeping things simple, and to get rid of the b.s.
That sounds like a bit of a tautology given that humanity kept to relatively small bands at that time from logistical constraints.

Also amusingly technologically mutually assured destruction may have started with /fire/ and contributed back in ancient forest Africa. Essentially if there was a rival band to risky to fight and you have mastery of fire setting via a firebreak a contained wildfire would rid a threat and give remaining territory minus what was burnt into immediate uselessness.

> Working 40 hours a week is too much. "Working" 50 hours a week is absurd. Occasional crunches are ok of course, but as a constant minimum, those are just idiotic numbers, and people who support this sort of work ethic should be deeply ashamed and possibly fired.

Really? What makes 40 hours the magic number? What number of hours a week isn't too much? 30? 20? 10? 1? A few minutes?

How many hours of work is required depends on the job. To say that anyone who supports working 40 hours a week "should be deeply ashamed and possibly fired" is way, way, way too strong a statement. How the heck do you know what is required by every single job?
I feel like this will actually lower the barrier to entry. Currently there's no easy way to migrate from the big 4 websites to other providers. If you were a new startup competitor, having to only implement one import format seems to be a good thing

> I don't run competitively, but in the gym I feel like spending on better shoes takes away a false limit due to inappropriate technology.

Explain to me how, in a gym setting there are, "better" shoes that "take away a false limit due to inappropriate technology" What does that mean?

Honestly, I thought the best shoes to use in the gym were just a pair of All Stars. I would use the weight room barefoot, but they yell at me too much.

Are you talking about Oly Shoes? 'cause those just counteract a mobility problem. Kinda better to solve that mobility problem. But thinking that's cutting edge technology is garbage. It's just a raised heal.
To add one more into list is betapage.
I don’t think that right.

For instance, let’s say I’m a comedian and have a thousand loyal followers. Why couldn’t I just pay $20/month for a PeerTube hosting service with my own brand. Then I can just tweet out the links.

Why would I need YouTube?

As another example, let’s say I’m a white supremacist, and I have a hundred followers. I can email a link out to them and never worry about censorship by YouTube.

So demand can be small, and it still works. In fact, since I now have more control over the experience, it can be much more tailored than youtube.

> Unlike most running shoes, they have a carbon-fiber plate in the midsole, which stores and releases energy with each stride and is meant to act as a kind of slingshot, or catapult, to propel runners forward.

That's like literally every single midsole "technology" companies like Nike try to market their shoes with.

Your foot already has one of those catapult like things - it's called the Achilles. Just let it do it's job.

IFSHLP.SYS was originally created during the implementation of OS/2 1.2, and later released in Windows 3.11 running on 32-bit 386 Enhanced Mode.

Its job was to provide 32-bit file access (bypassing 16-bit DOS file IO mechanisms), and ensuring nothing else on the system could intercept INT 21h calls.

ME didn't depend on MS-DOS (though it did provide support for running MS-DOS apps).

The Utah experiment involved "four tens", or 4 10-hour work days. It was still a 40 hour work week. The posted article discusses eliminating an entire work day and shortening the work week by 8 hours, rather than spreading them out over the remaining 4 days. cf. http://www.governing.com/columns/utahs-demise-of-the-four-da...

This too is one of the few pieces of programming wisdom that I find unforgettable.
In my experience, there is a big difference between working about 30 hours a week vs. 40 hours as a 100% remote worker.

It "feels" the best at around 25 hours with pushing up to 30 hours of pure billable, concentration.

The irony... is that pure concentration/development of 30 hours a week makes me about 2 or 3 times more productive than working in an office at the previous startups that I was employed at.

When referring to "state" are we talking about just mutable state? Or are we talking about both mutable and immutable state as being equally undesirable? Because in my experience immutable state is fine, and often desirable, whereas mutable state is almost always toxic. I could be convinced otherwise, for sure, but it might be worthwhile to make the distinction between the two.

AH! Another very good point — I didn't think about that either.
Is this done in the interest of users, or in the interest of the Big Data / Big Tech military-industrial complex ?
That's a really good point! I had been thinking of it in terms of something else a new service is expected to support before going live, but if they do support it it definitely should make it easier to get new users. I'd still be wary of it being overly complex and bloated, but if not it may be a boon in disguise.
apparently the 40 hour a week thing came from a idea of symmetry: 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of off time and 8 hours of work. it’s very weird to me that it isn’t challenged often in practice.

but it’s probably the same reason every country adopts american business suits. there’s no reason to diverge from the norm, and there are lots of reasons to fit in with the dominant world power.
But a 3:50 marathon is what a lot of people can do after a few beers, and having a few beers whilst doing. Ask me how I know.

You'd have better return on investment by just going to yourself, "Hey for every 10 miles you run this week, you get a beer!" and using that as a reward for actually following your training plan.

I mean try it out: $250 buys a good few slabs of beer!

And if it doesn't work - well, the beer was delicious.

Throwing technology as something as simple as running shouldn't be the first idea to get better. It should literally be the last. If you're marathon pace is some-a-wheres near 2:25 - then let's talk.

At that pace, good chance someone is buying your shoes for you.
Why would a friend pay through GoFundMe, who takes a cut, rather than give to you directly?
Right, does this site take into account the obligations, along with the additional freedoms a second citizenship grants? The US' overreaching expat tax laws are a great example, what about the countries that have a mandatory year or two of civil/military service?
It is in fact massively inconvenient when government and/or financial services are closed while other people are trying to get work done. After all, they are the backbone that supports all other economic activity. A couple of hours of discrepancy at the end of the day is tolerable (and sometimes even desirable), but a whole day of downtime is too much.

We need to automate a lot more of the public and financial sectors than we currently do. As long as a significant portion of work needs to be done face-to-face, there will be pressure to synchronize everyone's working days and hours.
You've just ruined their business model. But this is how it works. Your friends support you.
How might this increase the barrier of entry? I would believe that if a transfer protocol was standardized, the startups could focus on innovating rather than convincing people to give up on software they've grown dependent on.

My apologies, I'm a bit annoyed by comments everywhere on this discussion that don't count shared taxis as public transport. I wrote in another comment that without congestion pricing or aggressive expansion of HOV lanes, the efficiency gains of self-driving cars would not be realized. Even without that we'd still have the increased road safety gains.

> About buses you have say 30 people using a bus

The problem is that it's difficult to match transport demand and supply perfectly because the bus is such a large unit of transport. The more common scenario is a close-to-empty (off-peak times, unpopular routes) or bursting-at-the-seams (peak times, popular routes) vehicle. Because the self-driving car is a smaller, more granular unit of transportation, you can deliver more targeted supply to the places where there's demand, at the exact times when there's demand.
It looks like, but it wasn't. I agree they can do whatever they want with their users. But at least, somebody from GoFundMe should reach out and explain. And if it happened to me, it can happen to you, and you should know about it.

P.S. there was no cross-border, it's US-to-US transaction.
Military research spending is also 'easy' to administer and simpler - have a bunch of siloed off portions investigating any remotely viable approach. Even investigating something that we later know is unfeasible like gyrorocket weapons or walking trucks it is known what it would get and that they have potential to be useful. Tore or less regular generations. Generally what makes it through is accurate, faster, or longer ranged but fundamentally very similar even if it is 'just' laser guided missiles from drones instead of blind dropped fletchettes from biplanes.

Civilian research is 'harder' in that the advances are less qualitative and more abstract. Is researching amphibian biology going to somehow improve medicine? (Axotls may be anywhere from a dead-end to bringing regeneration). The 'boring' solutions are already there and being worked on. Furthermore there rationalizing secrecy becomes far harder and anything that sounds stupid can be attacked for political points regardless of the underlying reality.

The 'treadmill for shrimp' for instance is attacked as an example of waste when it is the exact opposite - using an innovative way to cut expenses as part of examining the impact of water quality on the health and livelihood of species that are an economic lifeblood in many regions.
Recently the EU laid out the PSD2 - where banks MUST allow third party access to customers accounts / statements etc.

The data transfer project is a small, glimmer of the same sort of thing - we own our data, and data providers MUST design themselves around that.

Large data holders cannot live behind walled gardens for ever - specialist data analysers are going to spring up - some will offer budget planning for my accounts - others will track my twitter feed letting me know of things of interest - the news feed will be almost as much interest as my bank account - but overall, third party data wranglers are a good thing

> but the intent, direction, and possible future of the code seems like something that should be considered once you start sharing.

Yes. Dare I say, intent is one of the most important things here. Two new pieces of code may be structurally identical, and yet represent completely different concepts. Such code should not be DRYed. Not just because there's a high chance you'll have to split the abstraction out later on - but also because any time two operations use a common piece of code, there's an implicit meaning conveyed here, that the common piece of code represents a concept that's shared by the two operations.
This sounds odd. What's really the incentive for all of them behind this?

What do you think about space elevators for asteroid mining? A large asteroid has a non-negligible escape velocity (e.g. for Ceres it's 500m/s), so taking stuff from them via regular rockets requires a significant amount of fuel. On the other hand, a space elevator could just be possible with our current materials and technology.
Those suits are so tight that after one (or a few) use they are effectively ruined. So it comes out to hundreds/thousands of dollars per race, not to mention during training.

Another thing to consider is that swimmers internationally compete on the same playing field — any aspiring swimmer can measure their times in direct comparison to the greats. In this way, even a child at his first swim meet is indirectly competing with their idols. I can understand why there is pushback against removing that aspect of the competition.
