Performance is terrific! Can you explain a bit how the renderer actually draws to screen? Looks like you create a mini texture per "font" and then draw as a list of quads per pixel?

Also I noticed some websocket netcode up front. Is a multiplayer classic RTS in the works? ;)
It’s never easy :)
In this case though I would try to explore ways to deliver meaningful work to the customer more quickly. Without that quick feedback loop the entire premise of “agile” is meaningless (at that point it's basically just a way to organize your todo list).
What I find missing is that the implication of this:

>The cheaper models in Tesla’s line-up have parts of their batteries disabled by the car’s software in order to limit their range. At the tap of a keyboard in Palo Alto, the firm was able to remove those restrictions and give drivers temporary access to the full power of their batteries.

has not been contemplated.

It plainly means that someone in Palo Alto can also add restrictions (possibly even stopping the car altogether) and that since everything is remote actuated possibly someone else might do the same (individually or per area, etc.).
.xyz is pretty easy to get, it doesn't even cost that much, it's affordable even for individuals
IME the most common cause for waterfall sneaking back into agile is when agile experiences some kind of failure - like the project delivered late and over budget. The response to this is often to revert to waterfall methods and means. This frequently makes things worse.

There's a common misperception in the industry that agile is 'fast' but waterfall is better at handling risky situations.
I bought this app years ago and love it. Moved from Stitcher and it's miles better. But I never made an account, so word of warning to current premium users: make an account before upgrade or you don't get the 3 years free.
Any details on the tech? Looks amazing!
It's worse than that. Netflix does pay for the IP it streams, and there's more players involved. The end result is, each of them will get even less, and some pirates can even make money off this - all they need to do is to collect and curate links to pirate media sources, and charge a tiny amount for ad-free streaming. And they are already doing it.
>Prof Felicia Knaul of the University of Miami, chair of a recent Lancet commission on palliative care, said the Congress members’ report was not evidence-based. “Actions that are not based in evidence will do harm,” she said.

>The stakes were high, she said. “I believe that policies that work to deny access to necessary pain relief medication in low- and middle-income countries because of the situation in the United States are akin to denying food to people suffering from malnutrition because there is an obesity epidemic in the United States.

>“More than 60 million people every year require pain relief and palliative care and we know that more than 80% get virtually nothing. The vast majority of those individuals live in low- and middle-income countries. I consider it despicable from an ethical point of view and completely antithetical to the goals of global health and sustainable development to have children and adults living and dying in extreme pain when we have very inexpensive safe medications that we could offer them. Poor policies in the United States are not an excuse for allowing that to continue to happen.”
What are mainstream options then? Apart from Apple obviously.

Yeah until they spread out releases of a program over long periods to force you to keep a subscription. Eg Hulu and Disney (1).

The reason people pirate is they want to watch WHAT they want, WHEN they want, in the REGION they want and on the DEVICE they want. The content makers want to control all those things.

Yeah it's pretty bad. You can't even uninstall them and it drains the battery in 20h instead of days.

Also, you get some other crap pre-installed that cannot be removed: a few demo's of games & twitter a.o.

I don't think British characters speaking American English is any stranger than characters in a fantasy setting speaking a real-world language. In both cases I assume it's translated for the convenience of the reader. I'm a native British English speaker, but American English is more common so I prefer reading it because that's what I'm accustomed to.

THIS, so much of this. We've moved beyond telecommunications as a luxury, it is a necessity in this day and age. IF competition can't make it accessible, we the people deserve the option to do so.
Why worry about how do it more “agile”? You have a reasonable approach that works. Celebrate that.
Stuff like this has been happening since at least the 60s, 20 years ago it was happening to the dixxie chicks for being against the war, 30 years ago it was happening to gay people when their bosses found out, etc. This isn't new, it just gets more attention from the media.

And anecdotal evidence is the opposite of evidence, it is meaningless. Your personal experience can be biased in so many ways I wouldn't draw any conclusions from it.
It's more than just Beanfield. I live in a condo building and Beanfield wasn't even an option here.

If that was the case, I'd never have been able to get this plan, right?

I agree that it's certainly due to competition, but it's not as reductive as that.

Also, I have a co-worker who lives in Milton and he has the same service as me for basically the same price (he's in a bundle though).
SoftMaker Office predates StarOffice/OpenOffice going Open Source by several years. As far as I know they don't share any code.

We see from this and 8chan and Dogecoin, memes have the power to enter religion, military, social values and monetary systems.

Ever heard of Kodi? That's a set-top box OS but that also is an Android App.. Then watch some youtube videos on how to install the magic box addons and you have access to millions of movies for streaming.

As hendersoon noted, nowadays, piracy is extremely low-friction.
why did Tinkerpop's Gremlin not work out ? anyone has a summary of the discussion from a language design perspective ?

This is why in my circle we set up the town pump plex server. Originally it was for streaming older movies (pre 1970) which you can't stream from any major service but the new era of fragmentation has drastically expanded it. We bought a retired datacenter rack and everyone contributes a few bucks a month to cover running costs. Then we have scripts scraping the top x movies/shows from torrent sites once a week and a little web ui for adding individual magnet links or uploading files directly. It's so much easier to find things when they aren't changing availability every 2 months (netflix et al).
Some of my favorite HN threads are when highly-paid software engineers complain about paying a few bucks for original content.
I meant this offer compared to other card offers which are not as generous. All of the points you mentioned would mean that Amex pays for it. However, I'm not sure they really pay much of the face value for the Dell and WeWork vouchers, I'd just be curious if they paid 50%, 10% or even less.
It was processed because we didn’t have the ability to process lactose after weaning. Milk consumption would have become prevalent when we settled to become pastoralists rather than when we were nomads.

The most fascinating thing to me though is why some of us continued to be lactose persistence and passed on that gene down to descendants.

It seems like being lactose persistent became a genetic advantage when we became migrants and cows became a portable calorie and protein vending machine that could travel with us.

Hunter gatherers had home bases. Pastoralists settled. Migrants moved to settle.

Also: https://www.sapiens.org/evolution/lactose-intolerance-cheese...

[..]Ancient DNA analysis on human skeletons from prehistoric Europe places the earliest appearance of the lactase gene (LCT)—which keeps adults producing lactase—at 2500 B.C. But there is plenty of evidence from the Neolithic period (around 6000–2500 B.C. in Europe) that milk was being consumed.

This is not totally surprising though, as the Neolithic marks the start of farming in most regions of Europe—and the first time humans lived closely alongside animals. And although they were unable to digest milk, we know that Neolithic populations were processing milk into substances they could consume.[..]
Thanks for the response. I'm having trouble seeing what kinds of queries come up of this nature that SQL wouldn't be fit for, though. What would be an example of a realistic graph query one would want to do that would be too difficult to do in SQL?

By this definition Monads are also a core part of C#, they're not used to do IO but the async/await, IEnumerable, null-safe operators ('?.') are all implementations of Monads (not by coincidence), and above all you have the Linq syntax that you can extend to all of them and any other Monads you care to define.

Yet I imagine most C# programmers have little to no formal understanding of Monads (although quite a few probably do at least know about the link).

Unless 5G is literal magic I severely doubt it won't have the same problems with congestion as every preceding wireless networking system. 4G home Internet sucks, the latency, available bandwidth and general connectivity are unreliable.

Where did you get this from? I just checked my local DNS server and my home devices have never attempted to connect to this domain even though I have quite a few android devices.
I have to wait sometimes, but normally it's fast. It's only when (I think) somehow the vim emulation bugs out that I need to wait a couple of seconds or just hit esc 5 times. Thankfully it's not often.
Here we are... Proving my point.

He expressed opinions which are not insensitive. It is totalitarian force people to only express the 'correct' opinion on an issue.

In fact the opinions he expressed are actually the law in some Western countries. I.e. that someone below the age of consent may be able to consent to sex and that, as a consequence, sexual activity with someone below the age of consent is not automatically rape though an offence.

There is a crucial difference between discussing an issue in general terms and targeting a specific individual who was a victim of that issue. Everything is being taken personally these days when it should not.
>> [perception that] waterfall is better at handling risky situations.

Subtle difference I think: Waterfall is perceived as being more predictable, which is why it would seem desirable when stability is needed.

Fully agreed that while Agile is meant to deal with change better, it's perceived as being a silver bullet to "Speed things up". I have yet to meet a enterprise manager who uses the word correctly :(
And they will leave money on the table because of it. That ship has sailed, and people don't want "appointment TV" anymore.

I will stop short of saying they will "fail" because we all know they won't, they have too much money, but I think they will certainly discourage people from giving them money if they try to enforce some drip-feed delivery model just to squeeze more money out of their customers.
I've done both hardware and software projects. My hardware projects began with an analysis phase where feasibility studies were done to answer questions like, can we build it at the desired frequency with current technology? No actual work on the project would be done at this point, since it was at risk of being thrown away.

Modern software projects seem to just start with people typing and little upfront documentation. A long time ago there was documentation (flow charts, Booch diagrams). Now whether these are useful seems debatable, but I do not see any upfront analysis done with software.
What is really amazing (to me at least) is how small the site looks when you zoom out a bit.

I don't have time to read the article in detail at the moment but suffice to say that this is subject to considerable debate.

> The difference is that you can't really use proper UML to quickly explain something on a whiteboard, unless you were fluent in it.

That's not true. Class diagrams are boxes with arrows, and so are component diagrams and communication diagrams and deployment diagrams.

If you can draw a box and lines on a whiteboard, you can use UML on a whiteboard.

AFAIK, the only thing that's not explicitly supported in UML is data flow diagrams (i.e., convey the data perspectice instead of describing software components and their interactions).
Control the language and you can control the thinking. It is no accident that words have become bereft or hijack of it's original meaning in order to serve certain narratives.
That's a 14,000 word report with no concluding statement...
Seriously, people should not choose names which are already taken in the same general area of technology. Even if it "makes sense". The whole point of naming things is to refer to things more or less unambiguously.
Crisis of Meaning
That's ironic, because in many cases the reverse is true. Agile can be slower when you are exploring the solution space. It's safer though in that scenario since you are more likely to identify and fix issues as you enter them.
In multiplayer games and chat, an often used acronym was 'su' short for 'shut up', more formal as the widely used stfu.

I remember using it on IRC once in a while when trying to make a longer, multi sentence point and people kept interrupting me.

So maybe a domain like, whydontyou.su would work. Or, for the more frequent speaker: whyinever.su :)
Here is a quick real world example: You are working on a compiler, type checking statements one by one. You come across a function call and to type check that, you first need to type check the argument expressions to get their types and abort the whole thing if they don't make sense. You use a `Maybe` type to model the result of type checking the argument expressions: The result is either `Nothing` (in case of failure) or `Type` (in case of success). `Maybe` is kinda similar to a nullable type in other languages. In Java you would now make an if-statement for each argument and check that the result of type checking wasn't null; Very annoying. Luckily for you, `Maybe` is an `Applicative` so you can just use the `traverse` function to do this for you automatically: The argument iteration will stop automatically and return `Nothing` if any single argument type check returns `Nothing`. You are happy with your compiler, but your colleague says it sucks, because they can never know what went wrong. To fix this you replace `Maybe` with the `Either` type. Instead of returning `Nothing` in case of failure you can now return an `Error`. Dreadfully you set about to refactor your whole codebase, only to realize that `Either` is also an `Applicative` and has the `traverse` function. Everything works just as before. Your colleague still isn't satisfied: Your compiler always aborts at the first error but they would like to see all the errors in the input at once. Again, you replace `Either` with the `Validation` type, which accumulates errors in independent computations. `Validation` is also an `Applicative` and everything still works as before. You just got your error accumulation for free without large refactoring.
I agree that at the individual level the tools we currently have to make a meaningful difference are quite lacking. And yes, I too hope that future tech will help. For now at least we can pester business and government to give us better options and make it easier to behave in an environmentally responsible way.

$0.6/Mbps/month is a bit on the high side for IP transit at scale.

You can buy IP transit for under 10 cents per Mbps at well connected datcenters. Additionally, any ISP with peering at an Internet exchange will have a lower blended costs as a lot of content can be accessed over settlement free peering and local CDN nodes.
5G will work differently, if you can get a signal at all it will be pretty fast.

But considering leaves are enough to totally block a 5G signal, good luck getting it.

You're assuming that the lockout counter resets on successful login. Maybe there's a daily failed login counter.
This reads like yet another PR attempt by Boeing execs to shift the blame for the deaths away from their chronic mismanagement to pilot error.
That’s exactly how agile got introduced at my company. The scrum training was attended by most devs, only a few higher ranked architects, exactly one level 1 manager. Nobody from marketing, project management or upper management attended and now years later they still don’t understand how Agile is supposed to work. For them it’s something engineers do. So in the end nothing really changed other than words.
I hope you keep it too. It's been like a decade and I still feel sad that .yu is gone.
This is the core problem in the United States. The second is increased housing costs in many locations leading to renting vs ownership in many cases (this is easier fought currently by moving).

The two attributes together tie most people into some degree of modern indentured servitude for the very wealthy--there just happen to be many layers in between people and the extremely wealthy trying to obscure that fact.

Yes, there is a degree of freedom of choice but employment policies converge to benefit employers across industry so the choice is between an red and yellow apple.

It has nothing to do with intelligence.

I can grab an average teenager without any kind of programming experience, and teach him enough in one day (maybe 2),
for him to google, and copy paste him a working site with some interactive elements.

Sure it will have a ton of bugs, probably only work on his browser, but it will work.

For programming in rust, you need to have at least basic understanding of hardware model and operating systems, know concepts such as stack/heap, references/pointers etc.

Its a ton of additional stuff you need to know, before you can even start.
None of that is particularly hard (well most of it). But it's a lot of it.

There are productive JS fronted developers who wouldn't be able to tell you what event based loop is.
Two things, first translations are a much bigger industry in German than in English, so you get a lot of French and Spanish translations. A book does not necessarily need to sell well in English, but it needs of course some reason that it gets picked up in the first place.

On Science Fiction, I almost exclusively read English novels, to the point were I would expect to miss German ones. The entire surrounding infrastructure, dedicated SF blogs, fanzines, reddit, is just not there in Germany, so I read the English ones and consequently read English language SF.

Ah, didn’t spot the blob tool. Good show.

Inkscape 1.0 adds what’s basically a more powerful version of that, a pressure-sensitive pencil, implemented with the powerstroke live path effect—more powerful, I say, because it’s editable, because it’s not immediately flattening it to what SVG can represent, but is also keeping its own editor information in namespaced attributes. That’s how you can add things like that and mesh gradients before SVG supports the concept.

I’m still intensely sceptical of your claim of full feature parity with Inkscape in a year, but I’ll believe parity for >95% of users and use cases.

My biggest problem with your app at the moment looks to be that path editing is painful compared with Inkscape. I like to show the outline of the path, and its keyboard and mouse operation also feels just all-round superior at present, and I don’t think that that’s just my greater familiarity with Inkscape showing through.

I’d also like more text labels and fewer icons. Iconless labels have no place on something like your filters panel; text labels are objectively superior. I’d say similar for the Defs panel and other such panels.

I wish you joy!
