> Are you trying to suggest that men are not allowed to ask for divorce?

Generally divorce produces a disproportionate benefit (relative to other parties) to women, even when initiated with cause by the husband.

> Or that children don't care about aging parents?

Children become adults and end up with lives of their own (more so than husbands), and if the statistics are to be trusted, generally women who live alone (primarily in the legal sense) past their 50s die faster and suffer more.

> Or that women die sooner then men at 50 and male husbands care about dying women?

I don't know how you extracted that, but I meant that women generally become less appreciated (by strangers) by and past their 50s (and that's charitably, often its 40s), and have more trouble finding and maintaining companionship (and romance, if it's on their minds). For men the curve is basically the opposite, they're unwanted (except professionally) when they're young, and gain social/financial/sexual capital into their 40s.

My point is that accounting somewhat for this imbalance (where women's appeal is front-loaded, and men's comes later) is an explicit purpose of the institution of marriage.

P.S. before anyone gets in a tizzy and starts listing exceptions, note (if it's not already obvious) that I am speaking in generalities here.

Could be that it provides more flexiblity to the airframe. Or that too much horizontal stabilizer would limit pitch ability. Other aerodynamic effects may be in play as well, since it's carrying the payload in the center.

Single engine out isn't probably much of a concern as there are two redundant engines per side.

I'm just speculating though.
> we have already figured out an awful lot of what there actually is to figure out

that's very presumptuous. As we learn more, every time, more phenomenon shows up that's even more intriguing. We can't explain many quantum effects (tho there's a good theory on how to do some predictions), we can barely manipulate 2 of the 4 fundamental forces, etc.
Just came back from a trip and most restaurant prices match the US in cities. Cheaper places go for around $6-7/meal. Most end up being around $20/meal (+/- 5).

Obviously cooking at home or snacking ($1-3/snack) from convince stores lowers that amount.

Most prices include tax and there is never a tip.

It's certainly one of my motivations to show that the .NET Runtime is a serious work of engineering.

Get a doorbird. More expensive with the same feature set as the ring but a few big benefits. Their REST api is documented and they support callback webhooks. So you can have your doorbird make a webhook http post with a blob of json telling home assistant it detected motion or someone pressed the doorbell. I’m planning on using this to have a “doorbell” automation play on our Sonos speakers, which home assistant also supports very well.
Yes but you still have CPU overhead in terms of organising and submitting work to the GPU. Although some of that work is itself making its way to the GPU now compute shaders are widely supported. There will always be a need to synchronise though. The other big change in this regard is with newer graphics APIs allowing the work on the CPU to be properly multithreaded.

> However, today’s cloud providers have repeatedly violated this ethos by taking advantage of successful open source projects and repackaging them into competitive, proprietary service offerings. Cloud providers contribute very little (if anything) to those open source projects.

The complaint seems to just be masking “Google, AWS, et al. don't give us, a competing cloud provider that took over a pre-existing open source project, money” beyond a smokescreen of misleading generalizations.

I agree completely. The issue that I mainly see, with the possible exception of Linux, it's a drop in the bucket of number of users (and has it's own issues GDK vs. QT/KDE), the main adversaries have traditionally been the OS builders.

I'm not sure that's an advantage. It adds a strong political component to something that's unlikely to be a cost effective weapon.

Kind of like nuclear rockets - in theory a workable technology, yet so controversial nobody will touch it.
Until a few months ago, Snapchat was not using the Android camera API, it was just basically taking a screenshot from the viewfinder. It is now using the Camera1 api, which was last updated 10 years ago and deprecated 4 years ago. It wouldn't shock me if this ancient api is messing up your camera.

Clickbait. The post does not contrast Fred Brooks with Dijkstra.

As someone who built a Minecraft-like project (but I was careful not to call it a Minecraft clone because it was missing many core features) in JavaScript several years ago and a fan of actual Minecraft, I feel I need to say something.

This is not a Minecraft clone. 99% of the projects out there that claim to be Minecraft clones are not close enough to be called clones either.

The real draw of Minecraft comes from a number of core features, most importantly the crafting and the survival needs that motivate the crafting and building. Minecraft would not have become a hit if it was just a creative sandbox alone. This project has neither of those aspects of the game. Another thing missing is the diversity of biomes. And another thing-- all of the underground features like caves and mines are missing.

So it doesn't have Mine or Craft, don't call it a clone. You wouldn't call something an IBM clone if it was missing core features of that computer.

I think people do the part with just the blocks and rudimentary generation and call it a clone, it's almost like they are giving themselves credit for recreating Minecraft when they haven't even implemented 1/3 of the features, and they didn't even recognize the most important ones.
It sounds like an interesting idea. Certainly Japan is an interesting place. In general I envy those who get to move abroad to work. The adventure appeals to me.

I will stay here. To those who get to do this, I wish them a good ride.

It may indeed be true that a revolution isn't needed to make MR commercially viable for a consumer market, but I don't think we're there quite yet.

The Magic Leap One costs $2.2k, which is cheaper than the competition but still pretty expensive for a product that hasn't yet established its usefulness to the extent PCs or smartphones have.

If Magic Leap (or a competitor) can cut the price to a third, bump the specs a bit further, and get developers on board creating compelling experiences that just might do it, but it will take a couple more evolutionary iterations before we get to that point.
When you contextualize it like that it makes sense - emacs is something like 38MB.

> The success of iOS speaks for itself, and in particular the success of the App Store speaks for itself. It is self-evident from the billions of dollars that apps have earned (is it tens of billions now?) that the model is successful and widely used both by developers and consumers.

Requiring everyone to use something and then claiming that everyone wants to use it because everyone uses it is a bit circular, isn't it?

> This is partly demographics, but also partly the security, reliability, and trust provided by the walled garden.

But why do you need the walls instead of just a sign that says "now leaving Apple's garden"? If being in Apple's store means you're trusted and make more money then go be in Apple's store. That still doesn't explain why it should be prohibited for a user to install an app outside of it. And then we would find out which factors actually make the difference, instead of claiming it's this and then taking an action inconsistent with it -- if nobody wanted to install apps outside the store then there would be no reason to prohibit it because no one would be trying to do it.

> As long as apps that are not sold through the Apple Store do not use any Apple APIs to operate, that would be fair.

They don't even allow that. If they did you would soon have alternate APIs from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Canonical, Mozilla or others. But Apple encouraging that would be like Microsoft encouraging use of Sun Java. Apple gets more from people using their API than the people get from using it instead of an alternative.
Well, they may as well set up a website with subpages per spyed device, and per device's collected content types, and just make it official that they are publishing third party information to the whole f*ing world.

Wow. And their customers are likely not going to know enough or care enough to realize how much privacy they've lost.
theoretical knowledge frequently fails to capture the engineering possibilities of exploiting a phenomenon.

example: we understand all of the relevant theories to explain how an ant can carry something that is many times heavier than itself.

but would we have thought to use those theories in the way that the ant's body does if we had never seen it nor had a concrete need to produce a similar result for ourselves using technology? clearly not. even after the fact, knowledge of the way the ant performs its feats does not let us replicate it easily. engineering is not something to dismiss with a hand wave, it's the meat.

put differently: our imagination for the upper bounds of technology is with certainty nowhere near the actual upper boundary because we are always thinking too narrowly when we consider the application of the laws of the universe, even when we know the laws deeply.

that doesn't mean FTL is possible. it means we might might create a way to make the problem of a speed limit irrelevant using what we already know.
>increase overnight.

This is where you're wrong. You are using a straw man, but you agree that network engineers will appear. if there is a market signal that network engineers are getting higher salaries, people who train up to be network engineers. Not much more complicated than that.

Unknown unknowns?
My sense is that "devices" you hook up to a computer are themselves entire computers with fancy high-level protocols to control them. Sure the Pi, unlike a normal computer, has its GPIO ports. You can use those to directly control hardware that is not smart (or is only a tiny bit smart). But still you run out of ports really quickly, managing those ports isn't easy, and if you are controlling things that need more power than the GPIO ports can provide then you'll need additional circuitry. You usually need additional circuitry.

The obvious solution is to create higher-level hardware that the Pi can control without, say, pulsing on a regular interval, or without having to provide the full power requirements via GPIO. An Arduino board is a modular way to do exactly that. The Arduino then becomes the "device".
I disagree: the right thing is to let the minimum income be the minimum income, regardless of employment [0], and let market value of labor set wages.

[0] But wages should always be on top of minimum income, because otherwise there is a range at the bottom with no marginal incentive to do economically valuable work.
The only other such places seem to be in Western Europe, and perhaps a few other Asian places like Hong Kong.

America isn't on the list; public transit is terrible, food is expensive, and health insurance is ridiculous. It's a bad place to raise children and a bad place to retire unless you want to move to a backwards southern state.

For me, I'm thinking pretty seriously about exploring options in living abroad, and Japan and Western Europe easily top the list, but the cost of living in Japan seems like it's quite a bit lower as long as you don't expect an American lifestyle. The lack of crime in Japan should make it quite possible to live in low-cost places, whereas in America and to some extent Europe living in low-cost places exposes you to much more crime.

> betting their existence on a species they knew already uses MAD

If ant colonies depend on MAD for continued existence, it means nothing to us. This example was used multiple times throughout the series. They didn't even make a singular bet on Earth. The invasion was just one avenue they chose for survival.

> You don't have to invade a system, you can send a stealthy probe.

In the dark forest of the three body universe you could send a probe, but you learn nothing if it finds no life in a system. The only reliable, actionable information a probe can provide you is if life is found. Finding an absence of life just as easily means that the life in the system is so far advanced beyond you that you cannot detect it. It would be far riskier to bet your future on a system in which you found no life. Not to mention that you are making a huge gamble on the stealthiness of said probe. The probe could be the very thing that makes you the target of a dark forest strike. Earth already appeared safe, so why take further action that carries real risk of notifying some other civilization that you exist? You can't be reliably stealthy because some other race can be technically beyond you.

> Send a big meteor

Earth was an un-imaginable eden to Tri-Solaris, it's made clear that they wanted the planet intact.

> or make a deadly disease that looks like flu

This requires a much longer timeline as multiple trips are required to carry out the plan. The Tri-Solarans were facing a very real threat of extinction that made a shorter plan worth the risk. It's made very clear that they did not wish to exterminate humanity.

Earth was valuable because in all probability the rest of the universe did not know it existed. Given that you are saying they were stupid for not building space habitats, you must not be aware of what actually happened to the Tri-Solarans :). Besides, those space habitats present their own form of danger to their inhabitants. Actually, the danger they pose is worse than existing on a planet.
Would car manufacturers get away with this? "No emission tests allowed!"
Worse than maintaining a bad codebase written by one developer is to maintain a codebase that lots of devs had their hands on and had lots of freedom to do whatever the heck they wanted. Even worse than that is if devs attempted to clean the project and failed, got scared or frustrated and left the company. Now you have multiple messes made by multiple people, it becomes a mega nightmare that nobody sane is willing to work on.

What I see working is people building micro teaser blogs on Medium and driving traffic to other sites.

I just want to throw it out there that it might be impossible for AMD to actually go out of business. They're Intel's only major x86 competitor, IIRC their x86 license is non-transferrable, and no way Intel would be permitted in the USA to have an actual monopoly on x86 production.

I kick myself for not buying AMD at $2 (or buying a LOT more at $5).
Information architecture always matters.

But in Java it always seemed that you are very much punished for having data structures that are at cross purposes to your dominant work load. I cut my teeth on implementing the last two parts of “make it work, make it right, make it fast”, often on projects where the existing team had declared that everything that could be done already had been done. There are a lot of refactorings that accomplish both goals, and I often got a 2-3x out of these projects by removing slow tech debt, and more by exposing a real info architecture.

It always surprised me that a language that so punished (especially in the early days where it was interpreted and all object lookups were double indirect) the Big Ball of Mud antipattern exhibited so many examples of it, so frequently.

We can do better. So much better.
For those interested in the educational part (as with minecraft) there is an article about using it in schools: https://wiki.minetest.net/MinetestEDU
Managing CI Configurations at Scale
I know little about the school, but I would be hard to convince they would do worse.

I think just going to a school where there is a sense of positivity and opportunity is in itself useful, but without resources, it may not be. This school, as far as I know, will have greater resources.

The staff, assuming they are being paid well and given access to more resources, will absolutely do a better job.

I am really not a fan of the school, and fear it’s largely a tax write-off and publicity stunt, but knowing how bad a lot of these marginalized populations have it in public school, I just can’t imagine it being worse.

I would argue dignified is necessary for effectiveness. Are you suggesting that educational environments that are undignified might motivate desperation for achievement? Or some similar bootstrapping theory? If so, I find that immoral even if it were an evidenced theory.

Maybe you’re making some sort of IQ-population argument. If so, I would not accept that we can make that assumption. But, if so, I would nonetheless assert equal schooling resources for every child (which is largely what i mean by “dignified”) is a moral imperative.

This sounds oddly familiar to me, I worked in Japan for a year and a half despite taking a large paycut from my job back in the US because I wanted to explore something new. I ultimately left to Silicon Valley ironically because they were offering nearly 4x the pay and better learning opportunities (the Japanese compensation structure is not kind to new grads and SV has ridiculous COL). However I loved my time in Japan and my ultimate career goal is to somehow move back there but with a better opportunity. Good to see some people finding gainful employment over there, it really is a great place to live.
