I would use some social media, but social networks don't want me to use them.

The other day I decided to install Instagram on my phone, only to be unable to find a valid download link on the website, there was only a Google play URL that didn't work because I don't have Google play installed.

Then, I created a Facebook account but it asked for my phone number, which I'm not willing to give them, so they just blocked the account, but provided some really creepy ways to 'authenticate myself': uploading a photo of my face, or my government issued ID card.

So, in the end, fb and instagram don't want me to use them.
Its been this way since the beginning. In the first wave of cloud services there were companies that built UIs to manage aws. Managed databases. PaaS offerings, queues, load balancers, etc, etc.

If it didnt make so much sense to keep building these tools yourself you would almost be able to suggest these other companies built expensive MVPs for AWS.

I don't know if this is nostalgia talking but there is something particularly attractive about the BeOS and Haiku desktop both in terms of design and aesthetics. The interface actually has a certain depth and this is consistent across icons, windows, dialogs, menus, buttons, etc. It's a shame that interfaces nowadays are completely flat. They are almost... expressionless and with the exception of the odd drop shadow they completely lack a third dimension. When I first learned of Haiku (and BeOS), back when Gnome was in the 2.x days, I was so impressed by the interface that I installed a look-alike desktop and icon theme. I used it for quite a long time until GTK+ 3.x eventually became prevalent.

Well, if losing / leaving your job means you also lose the roof over your head, effective immediately or on short notice, that gives the company a whole hell of a lot more leverage over employees.

And if you have to live in company housing in order to take your job (or have access to it within a vaguely reasonable commute), the company has a lot more leverage over you as tenant than a typical landlord would.
It is essential to distinguish between characteristic impedances (of free space or other) and resistances. Although both are real values measured in ohms, characteristic impedances are non-dissipative.

Just because EM waves can propagate in vacuum does not mean you can induce a current density.

They have a program now for sellers to qualify for merchant-fulfilled Prime. I'm assuming they have to be able to guarantee they can do 2-day shipping, and there is some sort of oversight to ensure they're meeting that. I'm not sure how widespread the program is. I did purchase something within the last year that was listed as Prime, got to me in 2 days, but did not ship from an Amazon fulfillment center.
On a personal level we tend to say "life is precious and I value it." or at least those are the virtues we attempt to signal.

When we act in concert through markets we tend to say "life is cheap and I don't really care that badly."

People always lament and say that the market gets it wrong but does it? Or is the truth about how we really feel just a little too horrifying uncomfortable?
Apple screen time breaks down the time you use each app very well.
There is nothing that prevents AWS from using it's own systems as business intelligence for creating their own competitive products.

Think about it like "store brand" software. If people seem to be installing docker on 40% of AWS instances, then evolving Amazon ECS to include an Amazon branded Docker clone, effectively replacing Docker, is a no-brainer.

Seems like this is the way they are going. No need to acquire companies if you can just build infrastructure or services natively that work more easily.

Terrifying times out there for starting a software company.
After a break of ~15 years I went for a couple of hours on an indoor slope. The main issue was fitness. I was able to go over a small jump by the end of the time. Not as graceful as I would have been.

Very similar to my experience with cycling with long breaks.
Nice to have another MIMO radio in the mix.

When I first started experimenting with SDRs I thought "widest frequency range" was the spec to go for, then it became "widest bandwidth" was the spec to go for, and then it because "highest dynamic range" was the spec to go for.

The truth is, depending on what you're interested in, any or none of those could be on your "must have" list.

My journey went as follows; first I wanted to see as many different signals as possible from as many different sources as I could find. That suggested the wider the frequency range the more success I would have. But those sources transmit with a modulation and that modulation might consume a little (CW) or a lot (OFDM) of bandwidth. So more bandwidth, especially if something was using multiple "channels" in a space became key. But what if you can't hear what it is you are listening for? As digital devices the number of bits in your ADC really impacts your ability to deal with large adjacent signals in the band. You find yourself buying (or building) filters to knock back the US FM band, or a nearby TV station for example. For doing some bluetooth work I ended up with a band pass filter on the front end that killed off nearly anything outside the 2.4Ghz ISM band.

Multiple inputs and outputs became a thing for me because I wanted to build an LTE base station, so I backed the LimeSDR and got one of those. There are interesting things to see when you have multiple receivers that are all running from a phase coherent local oscillator. You get this for 'free' when you have multiple receivers running off the same local oscillator.

Lower frequencies are their own problem, the physics gets in the way. Fortunately it is well understood how to heterodyne DC to 200Mhz up into a range that these SDRs will operate. Of course that teaches you about things like phase noise and how it impacts your ability to separate individual channels.

Lots of interesting things to learn, but it isn't just 'plug and go' with one box that can see "DC to Daylight"[1]. Filters, to keep out the signals you don't want. Amplifiers that bring up the signals you do want, and not too much noise. Bandwidth to capture the full signal and a bit extra. Enough sensitivity to pull out the modulation frequencies uniquely. And a fast enough DSP platform to turn that mush into the actual signal you are looking for. It is quite the pile of projects.

[1] Daylight being visible light RF signals :-) Radios that cover say 1MZ to 25Ghz can easily cost $100,000 so they aren't really the stuff you'll pick up casually, but the industry is investing heavily and what you can do for as little as $100 (ADALM-PLUTO) is pretty amazing.
That's rather like saying that a Java book should include a section on processor architecture so you can design your own chips. Plus, what's in this book isn't really enough to do probability and statistics at any but the most basic level.

The path to a deep understanding of inference that makes most modern ML seem straightforward goes through measure theory, Lebesgue integration, some functional analysis, a smattering of topology, and an intuition around dynamical systems. Then you go do probability and random processes, detour into game theory for a bit, learn decision theory, and at that point it all goes from mystical to bleedin' obvious.
> You only need to read their blogs to see how it’s hurting the “good” indie developers.

I don't think so. The odds are that if they failed with sales on their indie game, instead of admitting that there a thousand developers just as good as them who are fighting for a slice of the pie, they'd rather blame the platform.

Again, I have never been presented any of these asset flips on Steam. I do see hundreds of games that appear to be well-made every week and I don't even have the time to take a closer look at even a fraction of them, much less buy and play them.

I guess we have a complete different view what a "major European cities" city is all about.

For me major doesn't necessary mean country/region capital.

Example Coimbra and Porto are major European cities, and good luck getting in less than 1h if you happen to live outside of the happy path of bus/subway lines.
I'm pretty sure they do this. I also don't have a concrete case I can point to.

They are world renowned for their intrusive audits/shakedowns - and that's just with their database products. Java utilities are an order of magnitude more prevalent. That's why the main cost is still going to be license compliance regardless of what they charge upfront.

Java isn't going away but those that can migrate will. Especially after their first audit.
I would be interested to see someone post their experiences after working through at least half of the book. I am completely outside the target audience, and it would be really useful to know what works to teach mathematics to programmers and what doesn't.
This design also struck me as a non-tunneling version of a single electron transistor. Stick a 10nm metal island in the middle, make the spacing bigger, and it would look the same. Are the electric fields required really so big?
I question why wiring should be labor intensive?

Why not lay wires across the sub roof first that the panels clip into?

Or another idea is have the panels pass power between themselves to a single output connection point?
It should fix itself eventually, either companies will choose to use Google or Microsoft rather than AWS or the government will smack AWS with monopoly laws. The main concern there is that Bezos has become so entrenched in DC with the washington post, DOD cloud contract, and new headquarters that it's hard to tell if we can rely on the government to do anything
> solar panels are these big heavy lumbersome things

Not really, compared to other systems in your house. Take HVAC... big metal furnaces burning gas within the conditioned space with tubes/duscts strung through the walls, attics, and crawl spaces. This system is way more cumbersome. Bolting some panels on the roof is probably one of the easiest retrofits you can do. Source - I redo houses.

> They're unsightly to look at and devalues the leafy suburb view

To me the leafy suburb view gets a lot uglier if you think about the massive consumption it requires compared to only slightly denser options (eg streetcar suburbs). It only works because of massive gov't subsidy (basically by not putting a price on carbon emissions). We Americans need to get over single occupancy car dependency. It is an environmental disaster. It is also a health (drive everywhere, don't walk/get implicit exercise) and social disaster (socio-economic stratification).
I have always had a problem with all these emacs or vim plugins for various editors and IDEs. The problem is that as soon as you leave the context they work in - switch to a different window or a dialog box (or, in the case of Visual Studio, anywhere outside the code editor window), you are back to having to use the native key bindings.
Me too! Right now I'm doing everything except the music, and it's a lot of work, but I am planning to film a lot of videos of people freestyling with Rap Coach.

The current videos are pretty much placeholders, but I do think they give a decent idea of what the app is about.
Also these ditches and edges of farm properties are often eliminated with consolidation of farmland into larger and larger continuous acreage ownership.
True, but not really an answer to the question.

Unlike semiconductor devices, there is only one "kind" of vacuum tube. A push-pull amplifier with vacuum tubes requires an anti phase generator before the high and low side drivers, while with both n- and p- type available you sorta get this for free.
Yes, that glance at karma...

One thing I noticed here, and often elsewhere, is the more interesting conversations often end up net karma, like losses.

Why?

Well, my current theory on that is resonance vs understanding.

Likes, karma, and similar features are all about resonance. Awww, look at the baby, kitten, meme.

Useless, but for a warm fuzzy.

Understanding is harder. Where we differ and speak frankly, people often do not know how to take our words.

Intent via text is a mess!

I have come by the habit of including language to help. Like,"that was thought provoking" or, "it is OK, I just had no idea."

For me, there is almost nothing others can write that would impact me. I mean in a hurtful way. We all have options,but the number one goto seems to be righteous indignation. Honor got bent, or something like that. How dare they! You know the drill.

The moment one realizes there are more options is the moment when likes, and other tools do not matter so much. Understanding, seeking differences in perspective, our take on things can be celebrated, learned from.

One gets a whole lot more secure too.

Humor, asking questions, ignoring ugly bits to focus on interesting ones... all good options.

Chase the differences!

Understanding others can be what these social media tools are great for. That is work at first. Then, it is ordinary.

Then it is fun. Stimulating.

We can get many personal and professional benefits too.

I feel like this should be explored and taught as basic education. I got it via a close group of people with similar desires to understand others. We collaborated on these kinds of problems over about a decade. I have lists of things we people do.

I have lists of options.

I have also tried them. Wait for similar scenario, take a different oath, get a very different outcome. Manage my end of a conversation away from bad, toward good. It is nearly always possible to do.

Agency is a thing. The hardest part of all that is understanding we are in charge of our conversations. Our end of things.

They only go bad when we allow that. We have agency. It is not necessary to require others coddle us.

But, understanding all that is just not the norm. The tools center on ways to avoid doing it too. Block, downvote, etc... I rarely do either, preferring to upvote, or nothing. Just use the conversation to communicate all that.

Frank speech is not always nice, but it is nearly always high value. We want the value, but what we get are likes and other shallow trinkets.

Anyway, cultivating agency in conversation, understanding, brings security. With that, one does not use likes as any meaningful measure of worth, etc...

These realizations fixed social media for me. Non issue today.

I tend to get good value out of it when I use it. No worries about all the shallow crap.

What do I understand that I did not before? Others know things, have had valuable life experiences, can offer a thought provoking take on things...

Getting at that makes all the sense in the world.

Why are we not making tools to those ends?
Point number one: agreed, Western Imperialism.

However (ignoring the ad hominem), I don't agree with your second point that a more education citizen will not necessarily make better decisions than less educated ones. Obviously everyone will make decisions that benefit themselves, but only with Education can someone understand the ramifications of their decisions in a broader context. Many political situations have little-to-no effect on an individual in the short-term, so making a decision (since it's not based on personal gain) must be based on something else. I would argue that something would be an individual's understanding of the impact on society in general - an understanding that a "good education" is supposed to cultivate.

> The browsers struggled with this for years.

Multiple browsers had bugs with garbage collection of a basic part of JavaScript for years? What was the problem? I wonder what made them specific to lexical scopes, because a lexical scope is either just more entries on the stack, which is scanned for local variables in the same way, or objects on the heap, which is scanned for fields in the same way.
That's kind of the point of prices. One major factor you consider when setting a price is what's the alternative. If the alternative is 10 years of treatment at $x a year, then you can charge up to 10 * x. You can charge more for convenience of not having to do treatment maybe less to entice this as an alternative
No, it’s not. The jurisprudence is pretty clear.

I would imagine this should be a primary concern for a lot of companies operating in Google, Microsofts, and Amazon's cloud.

You are dealing with companies that have the power and money to become your main competitor overnight, and you don't know what kind of business intelligence they are gaining from you being on their hardware, and if there is espionage going on with your software and service. How honest are they being?

Judging by the size, scope, behaviors, and attitudes of the companies, I think it's turning into a risk to host on their platforms if you work in a space they may be interested into getting into.

>The point of giving that example is to show that there are studies that examine the benefit of undefined behavior,

Of course, that is exactly what Regehr's paper does not show. It shows that a modification of Clang/LVM UB operations has some good properties. I am asking for studies showing significant benefits for UB "optimizations" that are not available otherwise.

I never advocated eliminating undefined behavior from C, I advocate eliminating UB based "optimizations" from C compilers, particularly "optimizations" which rely on assuming code will never do what emitted code does!

>The reason why you don't see any studies on it is that it's obvious.

And that is the classic tell for a serious mistake in engineering. We don't need to study it, its obvious.

Your response is flat out wrong. C is not defined as a memory safe language. You are inventing a false dichotomy: if the compiler cannot assume UB never happens, it must ensure UB never happens. Nope.
