One opinion, possibly shared by others, is that small programs are actually more versatile than larger ones. The obvious example is working with text in UNIX versus in a large, graphical program with, e.g., cascading menus full of features chosen by a company, not by users. The text processing functionalty in the large program is usually pre-determined, not usually able to be modified by users. We can say what the program can and cannot do. Whereas it is difficult to say with any certainty what are the limits of a UNIX user who is creative in her use of a variety of small, single purpose programs. She may write her own, in addition to using the ones provided.
Even if they were legally forbidden from tracking people, ad blocking would still be necessary. Untargeted ads are only marginally less unethical than targeted ads. Even untargetted ads exploit peoples insecurities to sell them things they're better off without. (e.g. cola advertisements that depict young attractive socially active people drinking their product.) That's no less manipulative on a billboard on the side of the road than it is on your personalized facebook feed.
Google tried monetising search in other ways and apart from ads, none of them would have kept the company profitable. Even duckduckgo which considers itself the "anti Google" gets all its money from ads.

It's probably not very smooth and stable if you need stuff like RViz, RQt, etc.
Again, you're missing the point. On purpose, I think.

Everyone doesn't live the same way. That is true. That's not the point. The point is that all gasoline-powered cars must refuel at a public pump. Some EVs will charge at home. Therefore, NOT ALL EVs require a public charging station. Your argument proves my point.

When I say Python is good for numerical computing and AI, what I really mean is that the libraries are there. I share the same reservation as you about the language itself. I wasn't so clear in my comment above
There is always a performance penalty when switching between “rings”. Private methods are an “implementation detail” that shouldn’t be depended on.

Would you write a C++ program that called private functions using pointers? Would you write a C# program that called a private method using reflection? Should the dependency maintainer have the expectation of people calling private methods and not break your code?

Every suggestion you have leads to performance issues.

Reducing tracking to IP alone means total victory for users though. We can always use Tor, proxies or VPNs to hide the IP.

I'm not saying thay laws shouldn't exist though. I just believe that browsers that are actively hostile to tracking are more effective than laws.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who doodles with square symmetry like that. Mine are far less detailed than these wonders, though. :)
In college in the late 90s, I remember an assignment to optimize the microcode for an instruction in a hypothetical computer. I had a lot of fun doing that and came up with a much shorter solution than my professor thought possible.

I never ended up doing any low-level programming professionally though. The person I worked with that was the best at SQL, I heard hated his college course with FPGAs.
What do you mean ‘things are good for me now’ ?

You make the assumption that I’m some kind of boomer who’s somehow benefitted from buying decades ago.

Repealing prop 13 in order to take peoples homes away through confiscatory taxation so that people with high incomes can buy them is not a correction. It is theft.

Why not work somewhere else where you can afford a home? That is the real ‘correction’.
>Why the dislike, you ask?

Nobody is asking that, there's a crowd in here that restates the same three points about memory, performance and native UI about once a week.

I dislike waste, I have written assembly code for tiny processors. And yet, I run several Electron apps on my 8gb 2013 Macbook Air and it runs fine, especially VSCode. I am picking that over my previous choice which was native (vim), because I think it's better.
> It's a statement in support of the statement that not as many charging ports are needed as gasoline pumps.

On the other hand, the number of charging point minutes needed per 100 miles for an EV is much greater than the number of fuel pump minutes per 100 miles for an ICEV, so you need a very large percentage of EV charging to be done at home just to bring the number of charging points per EV needed to be equal to the number of gas pumps needed per ICEV.
> Are you advocating for more regulation in terms of performance parameters?

I'm saying I'd prefer consistent (between vehicle classes) regulation of performance parameters which have externalities; and the abolition of non-normalized fleet-based targets (since they privilege the largest manufacturers). If the goal is to reduce external risk, the threshold of acceptable risk should be the same for all motorists as a matter of fairness.

A possible alternative to CAFE is a specialized cap and trade market. I get that they did think a bit about this stuff when they implemented it, but I feel like it has weird effects in practice, especially when gaming it enters medium-long term corporate strategy.

I think it would be spectacular if inefficiency was purchased on a per-vehicle or per-lot basis from manufacturers who exceed the target, and efficiency was sold in turn to those. Not sure how these transactions would be cleared, but I'm sure something reasonable could be worked out. This would do away with adjustments/exemptions based on vehicle footprint (CAFE targets currently differ based on mean vehicle footprint).
>I tend the interpret these numbers to mean that the system is fairly good at catching drunk drivers before they have an accident.

That doesn't mean it can't also be so draconian as to hurt many law abiding people.
The article was 'we need to create lots of chargers' the comment was 'they aren't needed because if you're a millionaire with a driveway who drives to a tech employer with a private space with a charger every day you're fine'. That's what I'm saying isn't helpful for most people. Most people park on the street and take public transport to work and have no opportunity to charge. So we need the chargers. I'm sure it's fine for you - it's not for most people.
I hope they're super charging points otherwise I'm not sure waiting hours for your car to charge is realistic?
cancelling currently rancorous debts is only part of a solution. Along with any debt modification, something also has to be done with the current model of higher education.
No, obviously not. However, a lot of houses also wouldn’t have driveways. I live in a house whose front door opens directly onto the street; residents can get a parking permit for the on-street parking (though this is first come first served).

Here in Ireland (one of the less dense European countries), rural housing would generally have driveways, as would most older suburban housing. Urban housing would never have driveways, and a lot of (I’d guess most) recent suburban stuff doesn’t either. Garages are also not particularly common.
Personally for me, coming into a company that was so transparent was very difficult at first, especially as an attorney. However, over time I realized how much I developed and grew from it. I became much more open and accepting of criticism and feedback. Instead of becoming defensive, I listened to it and learned from it. I also welcomed all of the extra eyes on my work, it helped me create much better work product, just as the open source community does with open source code. When you are transparent, people know what you are doing and that you are genuinely putting the efforts in to do your best. You never know what is going on with others behind closed doors.
A system like Phantom is not the best solution to any of those problems. They've already been solved in much better ways. If Phantom were developed to the point of commercial usability, it would have to reinvent the techniques that those systems use.

Not to be overly negative but thats lunacy. What you described is best served as a native application. Web browsers were supposed to be information viewing programs. Not virtual machines.

Apple TV+ has its flaws. So did Netflix on day one.
By using the rubber hose method : beat up the person who uses "unauthorised" software to make an example of them.
You are assuming that these Apple APIs are used to give Apple a competitive advantage somehow. From what I can tell, these specific APIs don't. What they do give Apple an advantage in ironically is in forcing more developers to develop using (Apple) native APIs.

The CA prefixed ones are core animation related. Some of the others appear to be drawing frame related. I am not sure what the remote one does. None of these are giving Apple a direct advantage. I bet Electron tried to access to them to draw web pages smoothly.

The Windows API availability window gave Windows apps market advantages.

There are other private Apple APIs that do give Apple an advantage against app developers. Those advantages are in accessing physical hardware and possibly associated software, background processing, and integration (iCloud, etc...) But these aren't the bone of contention.
Wow, I learned my synth chops on a Buchla synthesizer at Brandeis University in 1977.

The professor there claimed that the instrument was relatively useless since it couldn't produce a diatonic scale. I proved him wrong by using attenuators to dial down the sensitivity of the oscillator inputs to the point where they could be fine-tuned to recognizable notes on a twelve-tone octave.

Fun times!
> It should result in advertising content that is more personal and emotionally resonant

Exactly at the moment I read this, an auto-playing Volvo commercial started making noise just below that paragraph. Ugh. We're a long, long way from advertising putting "users" first.
So you're saying:

1)US corruption is as bad as Russia and the other Eastern European dictatorships and....

2)...this excuses the appalling autocratic behavior of Orban

I would like to see fans of a US leader who has been caught in some scandal try to say "but the Easten European dictators do it"

I suggest that these points are not only completely fallacious but actually the exact kind of distraction that oligarchs promulgate to keep their power: rather than discuss their own oppressive corruption, which the public might do something about, find something foreign to make people mad at.

And apparently it's trivial to push these intentional distractions to the top of discussions and prevent even the first steps of removing the Kleptarch's mob.

Parking lots or garages typically don’t have electric car chargers today.

Sometimes a brand new garage here in the USA might have 2 designated BEV charging spots. My garage, which is a brand new building built in the last 5 years, has zero high voltage charging points although there are a few 110V outlets scattered throughout the garage and I occasionally see folks charging a PHEV on them. But most spots don’t have access so if you aren’t lucky and someone has parked next to the 110V outlet, too bad.

It seems like if there is one charger per car (whether you keep your car at home or in a garage) then that would be a lot more electric chargers than gas pumps? Gas pumps get shared between a lot of cars.

This doesn't seem like a bad thing. It's nice to have your own charger.
I'm never one to jump on the new product bandwagon. I think I'll wait until the Apple TV++ comes out.

Plus, it'll probably be object-oriented.

Of course an ad network would pay a search engine for clicks (and a premium for exclusivity, perhaps). There's certainly some synergy, but it's also quite possible to run them as separate businesses.

Operating systems might have to get lumped into the 'everything else' bucket if they don't generate enough revenue through charging manufacturers or getting paid by ad networks.

Splitting up these things may not make any of the markets (search, ads, OSes, other consumer services, other enterprise/cloud services) more competitive, but it would prevent using monopoly positions in search and ads to subsidize Google products in other markets.
Glad he cleared that one up.
Why haven't I tried ROS on Windows? I never really had the need to, I primarily use Linux at home and work.

I did briefly evaluate ROS 2 (ardent) on Windows at my previous job. It seemed to work fairly well, I built it natively, ran the demos and did some latency/throughput comparisons between DDS implementations.
Having the same number of public charging points than gas stations would incentive the adoption of Electric cars, people crave such comfort and saving costs (meaning the cost of putting a charge station at their home)

I'd say there's no subtitute for hands on experience. In the same way people on here recommend writing your own project to learn a language over simply reading about it, actually doing lab work gives you an understanding that no biology textbook can provide.

I vehemently disagree with the claim that biology is a simple field, and I'm especially surprised to hear this from someone who did work in this field for 11 years. Anyone who has taken an intro biochem class would back me up on this: life is complicated!
From that article:

"Socialism as a concept is open to many interpretations. Gallup was describing socialism in questions asked in the 1940s in terms of government ownership of businesses -- something that Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and most other left-leaning Democratic candidates have not advocated. Instead, socialism today seems to embody sets of programs by which the government helps regulate and in some instances run and pay for social programs focused on basic population needs in health, education, housing and employment."

So not destroying capitalism but rather trying to blunt some of the sharp edges of capitalism. Nobody is trying to replace Google, GM, or JP Morgan with a government run company.

But how are they going to decide which type of charging point they'll be? Maybe what's needed is some kind of standard charging point which has options for future enhancement.

And then you have to convince the electric car manufacturers to use it instead of their own proprietary one.

OKRs only work when they're updated as business needs change.

In one job I've held with explicit OKRs, they worked well because the job remained pretty much the same.

In another job, my OKRs created at the beginning of the year, moved further and further from what I was actually doing over the year. My boss didn't let me change them over time, and by the end of the year, he put me down for not meeting the OKRs. (This gave him an excuse not to give me an annual raise.)

They're another tool in managers' boxes, both useful for actually improving their employees -- or for picking favorites.
We're talking about the speculation that a homicide was committed to look like a suicide. I'm not sure I see what "Suicide is as high as a third of all prison deaths" has to do with anything in this instance.

At best, maybe we could say that both potential instances (suicide and homicide) are extraordinary, since what we would expect to happen in the ordinary circumstance is neither suicide nor homicide; but that wasn't the impression given by the original statement.

It could be equally said, therefore, that the claim Epstein hung himself with dental floss inside a secure facility without being captured on camera is also extraordinary. So, when I asked, I wasn't sure which of these two events was supposed to be "extraordinary", because neither really seemed to rank more extraordinary than the other, and still don't.
