We have a ton of laws on the books to regulate companies.

The thing is, we are in regulatory capture. The only time they get enforced is when the government wants a share of the profits (with fines that are < profits made) or when fledgling new businesses erode entrenched players (pokerstars and Sheldon Adelson)

At this point, I care about enforcement mechanisms... not more paper. We need to see CEOs behind bars if we want things to change.
It doesn't take all that much innovation. We have pretty much all the necessary technology to reduce our carbon emissions almost to zero without greatly impacting quality of live. We just need to build a very expensive amount of renewables, improve the electric grid, and improve energy efficiency using proven technology like insulating homes, switching from furnaces to heat pumps and using electric cars and public transport.
That's great news, but I do not see quotas for SES in my dashboard and AWS service list.

Additionally, it seems they did not import previous requests in their new request history.

I feel yah. My last 1:1 went for about 5 minutes before my manager started talking to me. He asked me if I had any problems, I said no, not because I'm problem free, but because he never does anything about them. That man sits 10 feet away from me this was the first time he said a word to me in 2 weeks.

1:1 are great if you have a good manager. They're a horrible waste of time if you don't. I'd go to HR again but I'm sick of hearing about how it's my responsibility to not take things personally and also to help him become a good manager.

D's C++ interop looks better at a glance.

With a simple extern(C++) you can use templates, classes and vtable's are matched up to single inheritance. There is also some experimental work on catching C++ exceptions but I've never tried to use it.
I've been burned a few times by tidbits of information that were mentioned in the lecture once and no where else.

I still think digging through the notes is a waste of time. Mastery of the source material trumps all and has gotten me great grades.

Is it more common for the lecturer to mention something critical that's not in the textbook, or just pass over something more important in the textbook? I think the latter is more common.
I am having a hard time to see how I can tell people who can no longer afford lifesaving medicine due to profit maximization to value a civil discussion culture higher then their survival. Or differently put to value my principles higher then their survival. And that is the current situation, a decades long discussion about how the right to profit trumps peoples survival. And that situation has a running tab in the form of people dying so that people profiting on that misery and despair are not confronted with the consequences of their actions. All of this not even touching the problem of neutrality in a life or death situation of out powered people. Desmond Tutus mouse and elephant come to mind.
Friend, you're making a lot of assumptions and claims about people you don't know (including me), and have a certain streak of arrogance that is difficult to get past. This makes it impossible to have a productive conversation, if having a productive conversation is your goal.

I advise some humility, as well as some effort to recognize that your opinions sound very dogmatic. You are of course free to like or dislike any language you want, but it is important to understand that going from one's own preferences to grandiose claims about a language's merits and usefulness is a rather big leap.
I don't like Slack for that reason, but it's a Slack issue, not Electron. Other Electron apps (vscode, keeweb for example) aren't that resource hungry.
I was just going by the trailer, which I'd imagine the Wikipedia page is citing, that references the azure AI and satellite data towards the beginning of the video.
It seems likely that the side switch is anyway connected to software - on iPad its purpose is configurable and I think it was for a short period on iPhone. I always assumed the point of the switch was for quick and convenient access, not for certainty. Besides, the hardware button also fails embarrassingly when full of lint.
It definitely negatively affects the battery life of my 2018 MBP. Using only native applications, I can get a full days work done. If I have Slack open, usually I can only work until noon.
The music is pretty good in the trailer.
It would be so surprising if they didn't. People put a lot of money into their rigs. VR is such a natural thing to move to here.
You can use Pi Hole both on your local network and on cloud as VPN on your iPhone (only DNS or for full traffic)
Parent categorized people looking at a Silvia as "having to much money", so I would hope they have a similarly good cheaper recommendation.
We'll I'm glad that you're here to set everyone straight.
Oh, yeah that's stupid. cmd+r or ctrl+r for refreshing doesn't even work in my electron app because it doesn't make sense for a desktop app.
I think you're right. I'm hoping that "show me your qubits" will put a stop to that. It's easy to see qubits because they're hardware; it's a little harder to see a local minima-avoiding heuristic search algorithm.
You made my point better though! Nim interop is awesome.
Think of it as the 'Apple' strategy. The most money for the least effort is to have a high markup for the middle class and up while ignoring the bottom of the market entirely. If you release cheaper things for the bottom of the market this gets you much less profit for your spend and also many of your existing customers will opt for the cheaper versions. In medicine this is exacerbated by the fact that you do not have a nice range and market segmentation, you are selling the same product to everyone.

I don't think we have 4-5 years left, I think we're already 10 years beyond the point of no return. I'm not a climate scientist so my opinion bears very little weight, but I think we lost the battle when the Siberian permafrost started thawing.

In my view, even an instantaneous 100% reduction in carbon emissions (including the sudden disappearance of all cattle) will not stop the northern ice cap from disappearing completely, and the methane deposits under it will easily follow. Because of the location, my expectation is that these emissions will significantly alter the path of the northern jet stream, affecting the climate all over the northern hemisphere.

But, hey, what do I know, right?
yep the sos series the best I know of.

It deserves it own dedicated website, it is never easy for me to find.
A lot of the climate change movements have very progressive politics that addresses some of these issues too. Of course this often isn't palatable to (economically) privileged people, as it means them giving up some of that economic power. But ultimately, I can't see how the climate issues will be solved any other way.

University labs often have cleanrooms that definitely do cost roughly on the order of low millions. And they are built to the standards of 2010s fabrication requirements. Replicating 1980s cleanroom requirements today would be a lot cheaper.

Edit: Page 64 of the pdf https://dokumente.unibw.de/pub/bscw.cgi/d9262701/01_History.... suggests in 1980 the total investment cost of a fab was $100million. I would expect that same tech could be replicated a lot cheaper today. A 100x improvement doesn't seem outrageous.
In the author's defense, it's just an example he was using to explain a development setup and some techniques. You can also do a factorial on a sheet of paper at 0mb RAM
that you would threaten to ban for something that got two downvotes is surprising to me
That's odd, OUTLOOK.EXE is using 44MB of ram as I type this and has been open for 7 hours.
I've used these too (well, Trombone and not Trumpet), and like them a lot. I've mostly played them live with a breath controller, and they're expressive in a very realistic way.
I didn't know that was a thing. Thanks
That’s the right mentality. I'd say don't change it if it works (and is nowhere near as bad as Slack). If the difference in practice is marginal it‘d provide no real value.
That’s a “just so” story. You’re looking at something that is easily explained by incompetence, stupidity and irrationally, yet you’re working to transform it in your head into something rational. Take a moment to think of the money they’ve wasted and what do they gain? How likely is a sale? Did Fullstack imagine this scenario when they authorized their marketing firm to spend this money? Or is the marketing firm simply trying to spend money so they can bill for something?
The article mentioned that one of the problems is too verbatim taking of notes on laptops. A friend who works as a translator mentioned that when she translated a conversation, she could not remember any details of what she translated afterwards. Yet after translating an article or technical documents, she learned a lot on the subject. The difference for her is that translating a conversation is mechanical verbatim process, translating an article requires conscious efforts.
i'm not trying to attack you personally, and i don't think you're a bad person, but i think you're mistaken. we are living in sodom, and you have the choice to be Lot or to be a random citizen, and you chose to be a random citizen because "everyone else is doing it".

i understand the resistance to unilateral action, but that doesn't change what the right thing to do is.
Just yesterday, I was searching for inspiration to spruce up my small apartment. Did a search for "studio apartments Reddit", and got back search results from non-Reddit interior design blogs that had "Reddit" in the post title.

> Mass murder for profit is normal operating procedure.

That's just not true. Of course a profit-maximizing entity (which is an idealized abstraction that doesn't perfectly match anything in the real world) would 'love' an addictive product, or to minimize their costs, including an externalities for which they're liable, but, again, ideally, those same entities would absolutely prefer that their product does NOT in fact kill their customers or potential customers as that would just reduce their maximum potential profit.

Per your hyperbole, mass media is also engaging in 'mass murder for profit' as they cause people stress and stress likely shortens their lives. A tradeoff involving the potential loss of life or some period of life is not literally murder.

If you sold all of your possessions and lived a life of poverty you could donate the proceeds, and any income you earn that you don't strictly use to prolong your own life, to a charity that could save lives or lengthen others. That you do not, nor almost anyone else, is NOT literally the same as murder.
My favourite example is Etcher[1] which is effectively a GUI for "dd" and ships as a 227MB "app" that uses >200MB of RAM idling.

"dd" is 37KB.

I think it's pretty clear to everyone that 1% cashback can only be offered in North America and other markets, as the interchange fees for Visa and Mastercard consumer debit cards are capped at 0.2% of the transaction value in the EU.
I just went to a super relevant talk on this!

Basically, you want to understand what assumptions they've made and what they have backed those assumptions up with. It should start from customer acquisition channels, and widdle away until you have a cashflow statement that tells you the answers. Start you assessment from the basic business inputs.

In the end, you want to figure out if their model is realistic. That includes the assumptions and calculations.
Is There a Big Short in Bitcoin?
Some people seem to think that unused ram is good, quite the contrary actually. If you have 50 of these apps running doing work while playing a game while having a pc from 10 years ago, then I can actually see a problem. Laptop and battery-driven devices is a whole other matter though.

I like to think the reusability and speed of development with electron is just terrific and is a trade-off that is worth it in the end.
I miss native apps.
Gas is better in the situation where you have overbuild renewables enough to afford power-to-gas systems as energy storage.

> If your view is that the 60+ million Americans that voted for Trump are, in fact, really voting for white supremacy then we aren't even living in the same reality and any further discussion is completely pointless.

Then don't reply, and jog on. You can easily ignore the concentration camps for brown people on your southern border too, the USA is big and the the border is likely far away from you.

I don't blame a knitting website for not wanting to have this discussion. People of all kinds of views can still discuss _kitting_ there.

The way the world works now, with media splits and filter bubbles, your statement is actually fairly accurate: "we aren't even living in the same reality and any further discussion is completely pointless."
The celebrity lifestyle promoted by social media is certainly a problem in that it encourages an excessive lifestyle as the norm, but such lifestyles wouldn't be as possible for most people without debt.

Debt has significantly reshaped society. It's usually hard to tell if a person is actually wealthy because people can run up credit cards and take out loans in order to portray the image that they think they need to have. Most people don't have enough money in their checking accounts to pay for a $2000 emergency, but credit card debt among Americans continues to increase. Need fancy clothes and meals? Your credit card can give you those. Need a luxury car, suburban pickup truck, or a Tesla? Get an auto loan. How about a modern house? All you need is a 50 year mortgage and parents who are willing to cover the payments when you aren't working. Even then, you can choose to live in a Sprinter van and look like you're "living the dream" by driving to different hotels and monuments.

People are easily fooled by appearance, and don't really care that much about merit or giving others a chance to understand their true character. I used to wear blazers and sportcoats over my tshirt and jeans, and I would get a lot more attention from people for that one change alone. As soon as I gave up that look, I became a ghost. Imagine if I had also worn a buttoned up shirt, better pants, a necktie, and a Rolex knockoff. I probably would have gotten jobs faster and gotten more women to say "yes", even though all of those things would have cost a fraction of the credit available on my platinum card.

I think most people know this, though perhaps not so consciously. If looks are so important to people, then why not go into debt early in life to achieve "the look", reap the rewards of having said look and spend the rest of life being a debt-slave?

That's not the path that I chose, as these days I usually have a $0 on my credit card or at most a few thousand that I pay off relatively quickly. But I can't honestly say that the average person is wrong to put themselves into debt in order to get others to view them as a source of abundance. I'd probably have more friends, more connections, more relationships, and more job advancements if I had taken on lots of debt when I was younger.

The normality of debt is the playing field we have subjected ourselves to, and if people primarily depend on their eyes to detect success in others, it makes sense to be a debt/wage slave. It's the game that a lot of people feel they have to play. Instagram and YouTube just heighten the visibility of this playing field to an obscene degree. Even with debt, people can't keep up because seemingly normal and average people are having better lives and more fun than we are. It's especially alarming to those who took the old-world advice of their elders and thought that hard work would equate to success.
You're not just saying what you see. You are sharing elaborate theories that are demonstrating an inaccurate and unsympathetic perspective of teenagers with mental illness.
wishing Microsoft the best but it really is a niche market - for one, there are so many aircraft controls that you really do need some specialized controllers (yoke) to make it enjoyable experience. Other factors include rather mundane experience of flying aircraft (from general gamer point of view) as well as the resource hungry requirements (OK, not so much these days but it was quiet expensive game to run back in the days).

The last time I looked at the Web Audio spec it appeared to leave rendering to the implementation. So regarding aliasing with OscillatorNode[1]:

"It is expected that an implementation will take some care in achieving this ideal, but it is reasonable to consider lower-quality, less-costly approaches on lower-end hardware."

Luckily nearly no one seems to be using this API so I doubt there really are anywhere near as many "approaches" as you can hear from MIDI file players.

Goes way beyond that. Ton of advertising on here, Facebook groups are probably 95% ads, half or more of the Reddit subs are ads. People who do not work in the advertising industry sometimes have no idea when they are being sold to. These people are not dumb either, they are engineers, doctors, lawyers, you name it, but all are equally prone to psychological manipulation. The Instagram article is mild in comparison to some of the other market research and sales strategies out there. Paid content advertising can be so well done that most readers won’t have a clue they are being taken advantage of. Some will even go to lengths to defend the advertiser saying that the ad was relevant to them.

There, all for free on the web no need to go back to school.

As for the type of work; most of it is writing the 1000th driver, making sure some mainframe doesn't keel over on a new version.

Also even the lower level stuff often escape to higher level languages after initial setup.

You'd still be writing code to make the hardware do stuff, just more work to achieve the same. So it might not be that exciting after a while.

That too is relative. My copy of Thunderbird with 6 open emails from six open mailboxes is consuming about 170MB of memory right now, and that's hosting a fully-featured browser to view emails.

Granted, that's reserved memory, but that's the only memory you really need to worry about anyway.

Of course, native doesn't make a program automatically use less RAM. It does start with a lower footprint through, meaning that you can keep an eye on memory usage without relying on ugly hacks in your code.

I try to use this as much as I can, especially if I'm looking for content from "real people" sites, i.e. blogs set up by individuals to share their thoughts.

Those are a breath of fresh air in this day and age, when 90% of blogs appearing on search are SEO-optimized solopreneur websites that hit you with cookie warnings and "free ebook" email lead gen popups the second you arrive on the page.

> IMHO, good electron apps feel and behave like native apps.

I second this, but there are a few reasons why they can't. For example Blink does not respect MacOS highlight color setting so any electron app won't either.

I should not be able to select text in parts of interface (e.g.: text inside a button), but it is pretty common that a cmd+a selects everything including interface.

Buttons should be in the correct order and have correct highlights depending on the platform.
I'm not sure what the point is, here. Is it that Electron apps can lock up or crash? That they can be refreshed seems pretty immaterial, given that any application in any language can crash
