Lots of voices ignoring how Son holds onto stakes. He has yet to liquidate his Yahoo Japan and Alibaba Holdings, and those were massive wins. An embarrassing mistake like WeWork is sure to stay on the books for decades. Selling would force him to mark down the private loss, so more so than winner he will hold I expect.

Maybe WeWork can turn cash flow positive, in which case Don can easily justify holding it. So long as he is not forced to mark down then we can continue doubling down. Son is not a guy with an exit plan, he doubles down until bust then waits for the next cycle.

I wouldn't affirm Canada transliteration come from Cantonese without serious proof. Not too long ago (about a century [1]), the initial now romanized by <j> was written with <k>. I'm not specialist of the phonetic changes that happen during that time in the involved languages and dialects, but it is totally credible that 加拿大 comes from Mandarin. The initial involved in 加 seems to have change "recently". This also explain the Peking/Beijing thing.

Just a bunch of geeks want such environments, and it keeps getting proven by market failures that while they are vocal about it, few put their money into the devices when the opportunity arises.

A vicious cycle since OpenMoko.

Android is really a Java like based OS, with a native SDK for games, real time audio and integrating native libraries.

I would just like to have Mojave kept stable for a few years, security updates included. Keep macOS as a solid platform, and add features through apps. That's pretty much all Apple seems to do each release, make new applications and add-ons, bundle them with the OS and call it an upgrade.

I generally agree with the author, I don't have anything else in the Apple ecosystem so most of the new features are largely worthless to me compared to what I have to give up.

And then you go on to explain a way that it is more economical; Time is also an important economic consideration.

> First getting that technical writer up to speed about how everything is structured, the little implications etc, is pretty insane. It's like that phone game where you tell one person something, and then that one tells the next.

No. That's what happens when you have a non-technical writer do technical writing. I wouldn't have felt like I have to say this but just because someone has "technical writer" in their job title doesn't mean they can do that job.

>especially Sony and Nintendo have released amazingly creative games

I mean, what does that even mean? If we use the analogy of movies, where the medium as an art form is more established: Pixar movies are creative, but they can still be bland (most of them are anyway). Yes, some Nintendo games pushed games as a medium forward, but I don't remember any Nintendo or Sony game that pushed in the direction Braid or The Witness did. Very few games do actually. "Games" games are more like toys. I enjoy playing with them, but I don't step away from them and think deeply about the experience I had. And I wish more games would strive for that kind of experience.

>Meanwhile 99% of "indie" games are skinned versions of old games who's best examples are often Nintendo's. How many "Metroid"vanias are there? How many Smash Bros clones?

Compare that to what the parent comment said

>but they're not nearly as unique an experience as you'll find from some indie developers.

The availability of old computers and other electronics varies hugely and tends to better if there are large tech companies nearby.

That just sounds like Google marketing.

First of all, speed is hardly a feature when compared with laptops on the same price range.

Specially when taking into consideration the VMs being executed, namely browser instances, gVisor and the Crostini hypervisor.

Then just like on Android devices, Chromebooks have a limited duration of updates, namely 6 years since device market release.

Hardware quality is debatable when I need to pay MacBook class prices for getting such quality.
Yep. This is a sticking point for me too. I'm excited for the rebooted Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but it's released by Activision (and not mentioning Blizzard in any of their trailers).
Hey, lately i'v read "The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett and I Built Our Company" and your story really resonates to what the founders said.

Snippet:

> We have always considered that we have a responsibility to our employees to plan our work so we can assure job continuity. We do not intend to have a "Hire 'em and fi re 'em" operation. This poses some serious considerations. One is always compelled to fi nd the most effi cient way to get a job done. At times it seems the most efficient way is to hire a group of people, work them as hard as possible, and when the job is fi nished, send them home. Well, even if this is the most efficient way, we have never operated in this manner. Bill and I do not feel this is the best way for a company like ours to operate. We have very rigid requirements of technical competence to maintain and rigid requirements in the quality of our equipment. This requires that we have and keep good people at all times. So we feel it is our responsibility to provide opportunity and job security to the best of our ability. This means specifically, sometimes we ask people to work overtime in order to meet customers' demands rather than hire additional people. While this is an imposition in a sense to our employees, it seems to be generally acceptable and we feel it is preferable to "hiring and firing." This is something you all need to understand as supervisors.

But it has to do why it packs quite a punch. I agree it's worded awkwardly.
Not just stating the facts, he also added a temporary fix!
The novelty is the application, at the price point, tested against a specification. Given that this is an invention/design, seems like a completely respectable piece of work that is not at all redundant (which is the implication I read in your question) even if obvious in retrospect.

> The LoCHAid costs only 98 cents (<$1) to mass manufacture and can be personalized for each user through a 3D-printable case.

> It is designed to be an over-the-counter (OTC) self-serviceable solution for elderly individuals with ARHL.

> Electroacoustic measurements show that the device meets most of the targets set out by the WHO Preferred Product Profile and Consumer Technology Association for Hearing Aids.

> Simulated gain measurements show that the LoCHAid is well fitted to a range of ARHL profiles for males and females between the ages of 60-79 years.

> Overall, the measurements show that the device has the potential to benefit individuals with ARHL. Thus, our proposed design addresses a long-standing and grand challenge of affordable and accessible hearing technology for every elderly person on this planet.
We have it. Whe it is red, it will be red + yellow before turning green. If it is green, it will blink for a while before turning yellow and then red.

„open source developers work for pennies on the dollar. It is near impossible to make a living contributing to open source“

Literally thousands of developers at Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical, Intel, IBM, Microsoft, working full time, fully paid on upstream projects, would slightly disagree.

I’m not saying that every F/OSS developer makes a lot of money, but I oppose the notion that it is “near impossible” to do so.

They probably do sell them. I believe most industrial robotics systems are built custom, or at least heavily customized. But I have no idea (and I'm sure they closely guard) what percentage of their revenue comes from direct sales and what comes from support contracts. Somewhat related, I recall reading that one of the things that caused financial issues for GE Power was broken incentives around support contracts. To meet quarterly targets the sales team started offering to trade larger up-front prices for reduced costs on support contracts so as to frontload revenue. Too many customers saw the golden opportunity and GE ended up losing a ton of money.
>Be the change you want to see.

This is such important advice across so many aspects of life in general! It's easy to support a movement that's already started to to gain momentum. Something I think about still from my college days is actually from a sociology class I took as an easy requirement filler (something to do with gender studies, I forget the name).

Summarized, there's rarely a reward for being the vanguard who blazes the trail. Sometimes you might even be penalized because your methods to break into the limelight were extreme and are now hobbling your movement's mainstream appeal. The class's talking point was that there were women who fought their whole lives for the right to vote but never saw it happen or even begin to happen. But their work served to inspire activists of a later generation who went on to succeed. Sometimes we have to plant a garden knowing we might not see live to see the flowers bloom.

Clearly software is a different beast but we too, as an undustry, have things which are mainstream or valuable now but which once upon a time had only their visionaries to fight for them.
It's far too early for most consumers... despite what the promoters claimed.[1] Most of the same issues existed with paper printers in the 80's: they could be fiddly, slow, noisy, power hungry, prone to jam and messy. If you had to print something too much longer than a book report, you had to keep your eyes on it while it printed and cross your fingers. There was no Moore's law for paper printers, just years of incremental improvements in the respective technologies and mechanisms. In time, the problems will get solved and then we'll see how big the consumer market for them is or isn't.

[1] Names like 'Replicator' conjuring visions of Star Trek when the thing most printers were able to produce were variants of piles of expensive plastic spaghetti when prints go wrong.

What use is a road map that has to be abandoned? What company does even do road maps? Code talks. The rest is just marketing.

And issues: at least they are known and logged, and people discuss work-arounds, that's something.

Only pure functions: yeah, that's the point of a functional language, isn't it?

Variable shadowing: many languages don't have this, IMO it's a feature. You can always simply prefix local variables with "l_" or "a_".

Pain to build HTML in Elm? Don't get this. It looks slightly different, that's all. As soon as you start adding your templating code, it gets messy when you use HTML.
It does sound reasonable if most people know where their turn is, start planning for their turn far in advance and take some time to coast before starting to brake. That’s probably what the group who wrote the law was thinking. It is not how people actually drive and it’s too far in excess of what following traffic needs to exercise caution or slow down.

One of the challenges of traffic planning is that people will do what feels comfortable and is working; it’s not really worth writing laws to force them out of that unless there’s an oil crisis or a municipal revenue crisis.
It is expected that you can't review everything you use, but you can still control the amount of trust you put in random blobs downloaded from the internet. If you're using dozens of docker images, perhaps you're trusting too much? You're trusting the security of the base the image is built on, the quality of the image, the builder, and the security of whoever pushes the images. That's a lot to trust.

Personally, I trust my distribution maintainers, because I know that they build packages from sources that could be audited if I wanted, and the build process is such that injecting malware into it is nontrivial (builds are done without internet access).

Backdooring upstream projects is possible, but any individual project in wide use is likely to have at least some sort of review, so it's not all that likely (compared to hijacking a docker hub image) that a backdoor would make it all the way into a distribution before it's noticed.
He mentioned that a couple of hours before your question (and I do not know how to link to a comment):

>Hello! I am the author, and no, I haven't tried Catalina because, as I state at the very end of my article:
>"Both my main Macs are really working flawlessly at the moment, and Catalina is beta-quality software that’s likely to give me headaches I don’t need right now. Who knows, maybe down the road I could acquire a cheap used Mac that can run Catalina (something like a 2014 Mac mini) and use it as a test machine. As things are now, I absolutely do not want Catalina to mess with my current setups and data."
But you could say the same thing of the various industries and basic social practices that the tech industry has disrupted.
The problem is your anecdotes not equal.

One person is losing file site awful. One person finds out works isn't suprising, it just shows apple managed to release an OS which isn't buggy for every user.

Multiple data loss bugs? Arbitrarily killing all 32-bit apps? No thanks, I'll wait.
I think there’s a very good chance the smartphone will be the dominant form factor essentially forever. Anything smaller won’t be good for presenting visual information, and when you don’t need it, it isn’t stuck to your face.

Alternatively taking a long view, how many times do you think the dominant form factor of personal computers (in the general sense, including smart phones) will change? Another 3 times, another 5? Every 20 years forever?

The only exception I can think of is a direct neural link, but that’s generations away and even then I’m not entirely convinced. Maybe in the very long term.
The standard library is a bit awkward at places with its pointer usage. This is why I have a custom one.

From a language point of view, it fits really well. I am also constrained with syntax as I want rlsl to be a strict subset of rust.

Closures capture by references which means you always have to capture explicitly with move (No pointers in structs in SPIR-V). Although I am fairly confident that this can be fixed.

Also MIR optimization passes are pretty weak right now, and rlsl would require an optimizer in the future. like SPIR-V <-> LLVM. I am not sure how good spirv-opt is right now.
Perhaps Basecamp is a viable alternative? https://basecamp.com

At many of my projects I do have to use Slack, and for really big companies, it might be a good thing to have several announcement and talk-by-the-water-cooler channels. But once you get to several hundred channels and you subscribe to like 20 or 30 of them, you kind of lose track what you need to know and what now. Maybe a Slack-type chat isn't the most productive.

I like Basecamp because there's a talk-by-the-water-cooler tool (campfire), announcement and idea feedback tool (message board), some basic planning (to-dos). Though for detailed planning and coordination I use something else.

Yes, you are correct. My phrasing was unclear, especially in terms of "minimum".

Much like the Writer’s Guild off America that’s not seniority based pay, that’s up or out. You wouldn’t describe the pay structure at McKinsey as seniority based pay, it’s get better or be fired, forever.
Offered in the spirit of "don't believe everything you hear": I went into university and graduated during the post-bust winter. The few adults I knew, plus the Wall Street Journal, were unanimous in their opinion that engineering as a field was done in the United States and that all future hiring of software developers would happen in Asia.

I got on a plane to Japan immediately after graduation. It's been a fun and fulfilling 15 years, but I am reliably informed that there have, in fact, been engineers hired in the United States since then.
> But actual talent, like human height or average running speed, is probably normally distributed.

Talent would be normally distributed if it was e.g. the sum of your partial talents, as a result of Central limit. There are different kinds of talent though, and gifted people are talented in one thing, but may even suck badly in others. If there are 5 talents, a person barely above average, with 0.6 in everything has total talent 3 and Mozart who has 1.0 only in music has total talent 1. That's not how talent works though: extremely gifted people are almost unstoppable. It would take extremely adverse circumstances for Mozart of Maria Callas or Michelangelo to not be successful. So, i don't think Talent works at all like a bell curve. It's futile to make parallels with IQ (which IS a sum of variable representing partial skills).

That's why i think those studies find those power laws (and frankly, there are not many ways to measure talent directly). Also: Note that they didn't measure the wealth of the artist, but the price of their works since the time they lived , as a long-term testament to their talent.
