All cables have some probabilistic failure of corruption, it isn't binary. It's the same as what going from 5 9s in your application to 7 9s, which involves a huge cost with distributed databases multiple data centers etc. etc... For most people it's a waste, but if you really value not having the occasional white speck, it could be worth a better cable, which may cost a lot more to recover design costs of making a cable very few will want to buy.
It's a failure at first glance. The capital I has no crossbars, making it indistinguishable from a lower-case L.

Any font suffering from this defect is SHlT, and you shouldn't have to hunt around for alternate faces to "fix" it.

More troops kill themselves than die in field. Of those who come back murder more people home than enemies.

Those people are ignorant of the fundamental principles of modern warfare, then.

I doubt very much anyone but some irrelevant dinosaurs are dismissive of intelligence and the decision superiority that it enables.

It's easier than ever for people to moonlight as a spy and get away with it. You'll probably only get caught if your adversary has the means and motivation to counter.

Most people in civilian/domestic situations are unable to defend themselves. Thus, amateurs get away with spying more easily. They can work alone more easily and have a wider variety of commodity spying tools.
Can I plug System76 as an alternative? I feel like it's important to purchase Linux-native hardware. Microsoft has largely prevented competition in this market, and I think more viable options would benefit consumers. Also, S76 has pretty good hardware.

Another factor could be the universal healthcare system. Also we still take decent care of our seniors.
This article seems a bit light. I'd really like an explanation of why this is happening. Even if it just 'people don't like the posh city folk with their fancy cars and advocados'. In some places it sounds like good parking spots are reserved for e-vehicles, in which case that sounds less like a protest and more like.... well... people parking. In other places there's clearly something more going on.
> I can't speak to Discord or Atom. Those ones make less sense to me, but there might be a reason there, too.

Electron exists because of Atom (yes, in that order). Electron was previously called Atom Shell[1] because it was created specifically to house Atom, although they mention it wasn’t created just for that. If there’s one app that has a reason to be built on Electron, it’s Atom, because it was an experiment to see how viable that solution would be.

But even they understand that solution wasn’t the best because it’s slow, so they’re experimenting with a model where the application logic is written in Rust and only the UI is built with web technologies[2].

It also says Facebook's market cap is $500 billion. It is now ~$383 billion.

Although it lists Google market cap at $690 billion. It's currently $728 billion and that's after a bit of a haircut recently with the overall market.
Presumably the $3B already includes that revenue.

Antecdotal but I’ve heard people in the Bristol TN/VA region refer to electric cars as a threat to their daily life and values. They refer to Obama era policies around clean energy and cite it as an example of corporate welfare I’ve even heard people refer to Tesla’s as cheap made foreign cars. I’m really not sure where they get these ideas from. Also the one in Bristol isn’t really a prime parking spot so that’s not a good argument.

Wow this article is so very wrong - Google and Facebook have enormous advantages over Disney because (a) they have other people producing valuable content for free; (b) they know much more about each viewer than Disney.

Google's revenue today is six times as large as it was a decade ago. And I expect its revenue in a decade to be at least 3 times as large as it is today. The reason is that many of the causes of past growth will continue for the foreseeable future:

1. The people who are connected to the internet will continue to become richer - in particular booming poor countries like India and Indonesia

2. The amount of time people spend on the internet will continue to grow

3. The amount of advertising Google can show people per hour will continue to grow. For example, Google can show many more ads on YouTube and still be less saturated than the old network TV model. Another example: The Economist app currently shows untargeted ads copied from their print magazine - but in 10 years these ads will probably come from Google.

4. Google can continue to improve its algorithm for placing of ads. Google knows so much about me yet I'm amazed how stupidly untargeted its ads sometimes are. Eg. if my photo stream doesn't include pictures of cats, don't show me ads for cat food!

5. Google can continue to collect more personal data. Right now it doesn't know when I last purchased toothpaste, but it might in 10 years from now.

6. The number of people connected to the internet will continue to grow (although of course at a slower rate than in the past)

NT was architected to handle high-end workstations from day one — there’s a reason why running the GUI was mandatory even when the resource costs were fairly substantial.

Check out e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_3.1 for the history of that era. The big selling point was that your business could code against one API everywhere, rather than having DOS PCs and expensive Unix, VAX, etc. hardware which was completely different and only a few people on staff were comfortable with.
FWIW while I don't think it would actually happen, yes, Apple could "buy" Google. When companies merge the expectation is that the resulting combined entity will equal the two companies combined market caps.

Take theoretical company (Company A) worth $100MM and with a single shareholder (Shareholder A) who owns 100% of the 10MM shares of stock. They "buy" Company B which is also worth $100MM and has a single shareholder (Shareholder B) who owns 100% of Company B's 10MM shares. Company A executes this by issuing 10MM _new_ shares in Company A that will now be owned by Shareholder B. Company A now has 20MM shares and is worth $200MM because it has added Company B's assets, income, etc.

Of course in practice it frequently goes terribly wrong (ref: Microsoft & Nokia, Verizon & Yahoo, many others) and I don't think Google would actually have much incentive to go along with this. Just saying it COULD be done if both companies truly believed the outcome would be favorable.
You've done an amazing job.

This is off-topic, but is there any chance of bringing the Picasa desktop client back to the masses?

There's nothing out there that matches Picasa in speed for managing large collections (especially on Windows). The Picasa Image Viewer is lightning-fast, and I still use them both daily.

There are, however, some things that could be improved (besides the deprecated functionality that was gone when Picasa Online was taken away); e.g. "Export to Folder" takes its sweet time. But with no source out there, and no support from the developers, this will not, sadly, happen.
> Half of the world's population still isn't online so there's plenty of room for growth in the future too.

The offline half doesn’t have that much money to spend, right? Making some assumptions and approximating, would it be wrong to say that potential gains from bringing new people online ≈ global GDP growth? Currently that’s in the low single digits.
There are less harsh methods of convincing kids to do their part in the household. Taking their devices with screens from them or limiting their screen time/internet access works great in today's world!

Kids should always get basic necessities like a bed and food, but if they refuse to help the family in any way, there is no reason to not limit their access to luxury stuff, like electronic entertainment devices or sweets or whatever. Being able to do that is an enormous leverage in the hands of parents, and I really wonder why so many parents seem to hesitate to use it.

Consider that actual rock stars often aren't the world's best musicians from a purely technical perspective - but they're experts at delivering what their audience wants.

Dan made a bit of a name for himself in a couple of ways I can think of: creating a very popular library (Redux) and communicating extremely well in English about React and Redux.

"Able to communicate about with a broad audience about complex technical topics" is a skill I wish more developers had.

So he's able to create things his audience wants and then communicate to his audience about those things. Sounds exactly like a rock star to me.

That's meant as a compliment, not an insult. The ability to communicate well and the ability to be honest about you don't know are two things the developer community needs more of.

Still think we need a jobs board that can someone parse all of the available jobs in each city that do not do drug tests. (and ones that hire even if you have felony record)

Along with added info for bus routes to this job, daycare near this job with hours, closest place you could afford to live if you had this job. Government assistance you qualify if you had this job, how long it takes to get all that.

there is obviously a need for workers and a need for employers. Job board tech has gotten better in a few ways, yet it still does not serve the undeserved as well as it could.

I got to eat; that was my allowance. I'm not even joking when I say dinner was not available until chores were done. And you still had to be present at the table for family dinner. It was incredibly motivating, but looking back, my parents managed to raise 5 kids and barely broke the poverty line for combined income. Chores weren't really that bad, I had to mow the lawn once a week and unload the dishwasher one day per week, plus assistanance on home maintenance.

Any money we made as kids came from jobs. I mowed a lot of lawns, helped a bunch of farmers, built fences, painted houses, fixed things until I could work at a restaurant at 16.
A simple hello world takes about 262ms on Windows 10 with Java 11.

Which can be further reduced by making use of AOT compiler, or SubstrateVM.

Additionally, Java always enjoyed the ability to AOT compile to native code, even though it was mostly available via third party commercial JDKs, or gcj for the adventurous ones.
the context of the quote was that the web went back to what it was 20 years ago, ignoring the non-ad based stuff is cherry picking after the fact.
I would hesitate to ascribe too much purpose to everything you see. Microsoft is a huge company with conflicting political factions and a deep ethos of maintaining backwards compatibility so there are plenty of things which people didn’t anticipate ending up where they are but which are risky to change.

One big factor is the lost era under Ballmer. Stack ranking meant that the top n% of workers got bonuses and the bottom n% were fired, and management reportedly heavily favored new features over maintenance. Since the future was WinFS and touching something core like NTFS would be a compatibility risk, you really wouldn’t have an incentive to make a change without a lot of customer demand.
To clarify this video isn't linked in the article (at least not anymore). It really turns this guy from a sympathetic figure to a douche IMHO. FTR I'm a staunch supporter of gun rights and the US 2nd amendment (I believe it guarantees a certain level of decentralization, but that's irrelevant to the point I'm about to make), but this guy coming out and yelling at her while holding a shotgun is totally inappropriate, as is him posting this video of her on the internet presumably without her permission. True he didn't point the shotgun at her (at which point she would have been justified using deadly force, should she have been carrying a weapon herself), but simply holding it is a douche move meant to intimidate unnecessarily. No reasonable person would think she posed an imminent physical threat to him (therefore justifying the calling forth of his weapon). She was trying to flee and he called her back! Posting to the internet also isn't going to help her problems finding a job.

It does have a mostly happy ending, but he's lucky she wasn't armed herself.
Hmm that is interesting, would you consider yourself a high frequency trader?
Unfortunately the problem is much greater than engineers not understanding doctors and other clinical staff, in my experience. For startups that want to sell to health systems and similar-sized/larger entities (really this is the minimum size that can work for most startups, practice sales usually have more friction than value), you unfortunately have to focus on the buyer, which is very rarely someone who is "in the trenches." Best case scenario, having software that is compelling to the end users can help you get your foot in the door early on, but actual adoption will only happen if you can convince the business stakeholders of your value.

In the US healthcare system, clinicians and the business often have opposing objectives and values. This is starting to change with value based care becoming more popular, but it's still all about providing what the business wants, it just happens to align with the clinicians more these days. You'll still need to support IE9 due to that botched Vista upgrade, build out a custom EMR integration, and deliver whatever random feature the sales folks promised (can you automatically fax things?) before you can move on to the features that the clinicians actually want.

The system itself is how we ended up with billing-driven documentation EHRs like Epic. Paradoxically, due to massive adoption, I think Epic and Cerner are some of the only places where real innovation could happen. I think even huge companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google will have a hard time breaking into the space, no matter how much cash they throw at it. For them, the only answer is to go fully vertical like Kaiser-Permanente, but I doubt they have the stomach for this.
In fact Knuth wrote a wonderful article explaining the idea. The article is available online, and is just an explanation but a superb performance — “The Concept of a Meta-Font”, by Donald E. Knuth, in Visible Language, XVI 1 (Winter 1982): https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/visiblelanguage/pdf/16.1/... (Republished in the book/collection Digital Typography.) So he seems to have invented the idea, at least as far as computers go.

"Emerge" is a very interesting choice of word. Why do we think that a property like "interoperability" could be emergent? Has it ever been?

Web browser developers have shown by example that you can come up with a sophisticated standard, including executable code, have everybody implement it on their platform, beat them into compliance with cool validation tests, and even starting with one of the worst possible architectures for performance (sending raw JavaScript code over the wire!) make it perform far better than anyone might have reasonably expected.

Meanwhile, operating system vendors are doubling down on proprietary APIs. These days you practically need to use the right programming language for your OS, too.

A whole lot of groups seem to have completely missed the web's lesson. Instead of "standardization is great", they heard "HTML/CSS/JS is the ideal substrate for writing applications".
The unreasonable thing here is not any of the components' names, and the problem fundamentally can not be fixed by shortening them. The problem is the insane uncontrolled nesting.

It just seems node.js is broken.

Thanks!

- At the moment if a package tries to access a core lib it doesn't have permission to it will throw an exception. This behaviour is currently the same on both development and production.

- There currently isn't a way for packages to specify which core modules they need access to. This is a long term goal and ideally we'd integrate something into npm itself to verify these and any changes to these permissions that occur.

- At the moment it works on a top down permission propagation. So if a parent module has access to 'fs' for example, so will all of its dependencies. I'm looking to change this behaviour so this is no longer default for reasons outlined by others.

- Haven't reached out NPM just yet, but it's on the todo list.

Hm? He's talking about the multiples on their earnings, aka their profit. How does anything you just said justify a high multiple?
It implies nothing about their innocence, only about whether they have gone through a trial or been coerced out of doing so. The ability to hold someone in jail for years without trial and to apply coercive punitive sentences to anyone who chooses to go to trial is a much stronger factor in guilty pleas than any evidence.

I did read the entire thread, but if you said something elsewhere that acknowledged that it is wrong for the US to use prisoners as slaves, I missed it.
