The Spotify website is severely limited in functionality compared to the Electron app. Playlist handling is lacking, and playlist folders are missing completely. Not to mention options for volume normalization, crossfade and similar things.
>This is why even USB-C is a nightmare. Consider a USB-C cable or device port. It could be charge only, data only, monitor support. There are even more permutations and sub-features. Oh, you wanted charging and found one that has it? Know how much power it enough or overkill? It could provide 15 watts, 100 watt, etc. Think you'll just google the specs page? Sure, they never miss providing any of these details or make any mistakes.

They should be pressured (by law) to include all these details in a simple form (akin to nutritional labels in foods), either on the cable itself or on a sticker attached to it.

Ideally there should also be a few profiles, so that you know if you want a cable for your monitor, you get e.g. a "USB4 / profile 1" (and the cable could mark the profile it belongs to on top).

The thing is I have the "hellishly flawed MBP 2016", I carry it daily into my messenger bag over bike/train/feet (often running to catch train) in a separate pocket but without other protection. It fell on the floor once from table height with lid open and ended up with a very small scratch on the corner but totally ok otherwise (and it was totally my fault).

Everything is perfectible but to say it's not a good and resilient design as compared to other laptops is just non-sense. Nothing is 100% fail-proof we must be realistic.

As written, sure. But making that statement into a claim that's comprehensible to a general audience is distinct from just claiming something completely unrelated. Notice that in my statement the CA has nothing to do with this traffic and whether or not it's intercepted. Because they don't.

Part of a journalist's job is to find a way to summarise an inevitably complicated story _without_ in the process making it into a completely different story. "Bilbo the wizard stole a magical ring" is not a good summary of The Hobbit, because it is wrong. The wizard isn't named Bilbo and that isn't what that story is about even though maybe it's important for other reasons.
Netflix also benefits from TV/movies being more fungible, and with a better long tail than music. If Netflix doesn't have a TV show or movie, you'll likely find something else you want to watch. If Spotify doesn't have Taylor Swift, it doesn't have Taylor Swift.

Funny, I would make the exact opposite argument. I can 'put up with' a lot of different music in the right general genre I'm in the mood for while doing other stuff (and if one song doesn't take my fancy I can either just skip it or wait 3 minutes for the next song), but if I'm going to invest 2-10 hours of focused attention on a TV show/movie then it better be what I actually want.

This reminds me of a conversation I had yesterday with one of my daughters about species, specifically Homo Sapiens, but generally as well.

She was asking who the first Homo Sapiens was. I suggested that if there was such a person, if an anthropologist had been there they wouldn’t have seen anything special happening. The way they would have categorised hominid species would depend on the populations they saw at that time.

It’s the same with civilisations. How we categorise them is temporally dependent and is in fact an artefact of language. Reality doesn’t care if our linguistic categorizations make sense, or how they are limited.

This was only the second cure of several dozen similar marrow transplant procedures ech costing on the order of six figures. And with 50 million around the world infected and 40 years of searching for a reliable cure.

Its far more likely that a million were saved by having a rare mutation (1% population) that prevents HIV infection. The recently disgraced Chinese scientist used CRSPER/CAS9 genetic engineering on human embryros to induce this immunity into people who lacked it. The experiment was conducted in a totally unethical way with the scientist under criminal investigation. But the goal was noble.
In the UK, just over half of new infections are in heterosexuals.

The 8 countries with the highest HIV rates all have rates more than twice the rate of homosexuality, so even if every gay and lesbian person had HIV, a majority of people with HIV would not be gay or lesbian.

In the US in particular, new infections are 2:1 homosexual:heterosexual, but the USA isn’t the world.

I don't think it's just values. Knowledge and technology plays into this too.

I don't have a fully fleshed out model in my head just yet, but I imagine it like this: humans seem to have a pretty fixed emotional and cognitive makeup. What changes is the landscape in which we operate - what technologies are available, what customs exist in our times, what are the core "cultural memes". Kind of like water flowing downhill - a simple process in itself, but where it goes and what shape it takes depends on the landscape it's flowing through, and the flow itself shapes that landscape over time.

Another way of viewing this: we humans are like somewhat fixed neurons, but it's the connections we make with each other that change. Connections both to our contemporaries through complex social structures, as well as to the past, through knowledge accumulated in books and traditions, and other artifacts of past cultures.
I should note that I myself am not Chinese either, but I do live there and its not pleasant having to use Bing, etc.

Not millions, but:

- Power Delivery supports some 5 different maximum values

- 3 different Battery Charging modes

- 5 alternate modes according to Wikipedia (C only)

- >10 different plugs (not an independent variable though)

- 6 different signalling rates

All of those are baked in in the hardware layer. It gets worse when you realize that cables have to support the right combination.

It gets even worse when including things that piggyback on USB, like dual-purpose HDMI and USB ports, Thunderbolt, noncompliant chargers (Apple), Quick Charge, audio alternate mode.
Tin and copper in Cornish mines, was the main driver early on.

That isn't really the point, yes it was the 'age of steam' but in reality it made a few marginal mines profitable. There were no steam trains, no steam ships, no wide spread mechanisation.

Britain wasn't some backwater that was propelled ahead of spain due to accidentally discovering steam power. It was already a power in it own right, with trading networks and markets for these raw materials, that was the impetus for the development of steam.
Intel CPUs afflicted with simple data-spewing spec-exec vulnerability
I am surprised ebpf wasn't mentioned. it's made for exactly that and you get bonus features like lite weight JIT and safety given that it supports a strict subset of asm commands that are deemed safe.

The arguments against JIT aren't backed by any prototypes or proofs. it felt like the author has a bias towards dynamic dispatch and walked backwards towards it.

There is no mention how frequently these filters change nor the possible perf advantage that you'd get from running compiled expressions that would compensate for the accumulated compile time of these filters over time.

Often you need 2 approaches together and you switch from interpretation to JIT after a condition. (in db case after the same query shows up multiple times for example). In their case it can be something as simple as if filter hasn't updated in x time then consider it stable and compile it.

On the other hand, PGs dynamic dispatch is a fun read just like any other code in PGs repo.

>No one is going to build a USB mouse with a 40Gbit link speed, for example.

No, but they could build cables with a "40Gbit link speed" that also work with any much smaller speed mouse.

Devices don't have to have the superset. But if a consumer wants to buy a cable that has the superset of powers, they should be able to find such cables and buy them.
Even then it could make do with much much much slower rates -- those are monitor rates, and we're talking about a mouse here (hi dpi or not).
Not if you call the understanding and design processes a "design sprint"!

As someone else said, the individual phases can be huge, which is why in large projects the first step is often to break down large business needs into more manageable chunks, each of which can be worked on seperately, either linelarly or by multiple teams. In a healthy process as the work progresses it is used to reevaluate previous decisons & designs. So basically agile.
I feel like there are a couple of obvious problems that exist:

- Knowing that such a person exists
- Knowing that the fix is simple
- Knowing that they will have time to look at a thing quickly

I'm a person who will answer any question on any topic if asked, and help anyone with anything if I have the ability to do so. That's because I enjoy doing stuff in general and my long projects aren't meaningfully going to suffer. Counterpoint, the only people pestering me on this are friends / close colleagues and it wouldn't scale.

I reckon that the net benefit of being willing to do that to the company is positive, but honestly I'd do it anyway because sometimes 2 hours hacking on a powershell script is a welcome distraction!

Why is USB-C like that? Is it because all smartphones require USB chargers in the EU and so everything that manufacturers might want has to be in the one cable spec?
Sure, but then the western roman empire only begins in the 3rd century with the partition of the unified roman empire (and collapsed in the 5th).

Even if you just want to look at who controls rome (understandable if we're talking about calling something the roman empire), after the reconquest by Justinian, it belonged to the eastern empire about the same amount of time as the west.

I think you've just nicely summarised why architects & project managers exist! There's a whole level of treacle to get through before coding can start, and that stays with the project throughout its lifespan.

The challenge I see most is getting the right level of understanding and design freedom to the developer level, where they know why they're being asked to do some work but without burdening them with extraneous detail or processes.

A lot of developers get annoyed at project managers and architects but they dislike project politics even more.

The worst aspect of unplanned work is that often it only serves to make the person requesting it look good in the eyes of the person they report to. Often serving no benefit to anyone else and almost always doing damage to the company's productive output.

If you're interviewing around it really pays to ask a lot of questions of a company's management structure and whether their EMs have substantive engineering backgrounds. It won't eliminate this kind of work entirely but it can make enough of a difference.

I think this is a fantastic point, but it leads to the next question which is that are the current world powers any different?
I agree stress was a bad metric, I'm sure there are other metrics some sociologists would be able to enumerate, I can just speculate based on my experience: In my country when I started studying computer science -- which was a niche area, I had 90% male colleagues; after 15 years with all the media coverage of high salary in the industry, the proportion shifted to 60-40, because the profession has become main-stream.

So another factor could be risk -- women are more risk averse than men; hence they choose more established professions where the pay is less.

Then, there's the drive and single-mindedness some high paying jobs require -- men are built that way, women are less likely to have obsessions on obscure-technical hobbies; heck, most men aren't built that way, it just happens that for those people that have such drive and single-mindedness, most of them are men.

And that's the way it is -- unless there's some moat protecting your job, due to the laws of supply and demand the higher paying jobs are the ones nobody wants to do because of risk, discomfort and so on, and those that most people cannot do because of the dedication and single-mindedness they require, and for both categories men are the likely candidates.

>There are huge advantages to using the same connector and cables that can support 100W of power, 5K displays and also support peripherals that retail for less than $1 and be backwards compatible with peripherals over 20 years old.

This, quite honestly, sounds wasteful. I am fairly certain that manufacturing these connectors that are much better is more expensive than either the old, less sophisticated, connectors or simply new lower performance connectors.
> Otherwise the market would still have slave ships running.

I think the slavery ended mostly because its relative efficiency dropped as technology developed.

If someone puts content out there for free, it is by definition freely available, and I decide 100% which content I want my browser to accept and show, and which content to ignore.

If you want to make sure you get paid for your content, put it behind a paywall. Yes, the number of users will drop, but you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Otherwise, ask nicely for donations or Patreon support or do old-fashioned sponsored content, obviously with full disclaimers that the content is sponsored, so people can decide whether they want to watch it or not.

Specifically talking about video ads, look at what Glenn Fricker from Spectre Media Group does on his Youtube channel. He often gets demonitized because he tends to swear a lot. So he asks people to "spend a buck, give a fuck" on Patreon, and he does short sponsor midway interludes in his videos. It's always a short clip of himself talking about the product or service in question, and it's always something he uses himself, he won't advertise something he can't vouch for. So you don't get the jarring cuts to some random ad agency's standard BS video that runs on thousands of un-related videos.

That's how to do it. Part of and related to the channel's content, but also clearly demarcated and made fully clear that it is sponsorship/advertising. And most importantly: No tracking!
I don't have much knowledge about certificates, except from what I read on this mail list. But are there are other CAs active (in mozilla's root trust), using 64bit serial?
You can have a non-ECS system without a giant inlined loop. If you look at an ECS for a typical 2D game what do you need? Components for: Sprites, Animation, Sound, Physics, Scripts, Pathfinding. All of which can be accomplished by function calls split up into separate source files. You can even begin with having everything inlined and pull the code out later once you've figured out what you want to do. ECS is overengineered abstraction to fit the set of all possible use cases instead of your specific use case. And if you write an engine that way you end up with an undebuggable mess of indirection for everything.

Emotionally your Civilization is where you would feel comfortable, and that might be Western Europe and North America, Australia, NZ.

Very interesting. I think it would make a lot of sense for RISC-V to try to innovate on the memory protection and virtual addressing schemes as well.

I found the solution used in the Mill architecture to be very interesting: http://millcomputing.com/wiki/Memory

If you have a 64-bit address space, all processes might as well use the same virtual address space, since there's still plenty of space for each process, even with thousands of processes or more. Making the design such that access protection and translation are parallel paths is also a good idea.
