Objective-C was going nowhere before Apple's acquisition, my thesis was rewriting a particle system from Objective-C/NeXT into C++/Windows as means for the department to keep research in OSes that everyone else could use.

Ada compilers were bloody expensive.

Modula-2, Delphi, VB, Oberon, Modula-3,..., were great, but they were either only available commercially, or OS specific.

Java was given away as free beer, with a batteries included standard library and with less hurdles than trying to write portable C or pre-C++98 across all platforms that existed in the 90's.

That alone made us try it out,

On my university, the computing department changed all the compiler design and distributed computing classes to Java, without Sun paying anything to a tiny Portuguese university.
I have many reservations and am very critical of the financial system. But the concept of interest on loans is not a "scam'.

The interest in it's simplest form is just a value appreciation of the time value of money [1]. Would you rather have $100 today, or $100 next month? How about $100 today vs $102 next month? Still rather in the today camp? How about $105 next month? That is the interest. It is the value derivative of having the money 'now' vs having the money 'later'.

Where things can get scammy is in the complex type of credit products on offer (tying in all sorts of opaque references to things presented as neutral which are far from), and how things are communicated to the borrower.

Tip: If you are considering a loan, always ask for a full repayment plan showing you which payments are due each month, and the resulting reduction in the amount due (your payment first covers the interest accrued in that month, and only after that covers principal reduction). If there are variables in the loans formula, ask for simulations that cover the most likely evolution scenario, as well as the extremes. Every financial institution has such a payment plan calculator. Long ago I have written one which afaik is still in use today in a non-trivial financial services company.

That's one example, another one is for smaller assets - trees and vegetation, for example (SpeedTree). There's definitely a market for creating 3rd party tooling to help with developing a game. There's actually quite a few companies and technologies that specialize in one aspect of a game or game's world.

There's a few other interesting technologies that add a lot of content to a game for relatively small investments; think physics and destruction engines, animation technology (iirc there is something developed by EA's sports games branch that can generate intermediate animations for smooth animation transitions), world generation (height maps), etc.

It's a result of the Great English Vowel Shift which affected long vowels, and has affected pronunciation of Roman/English letter names (amongst other things) as well (think about the oddness of the name of the letter A in English, for instance) .
Actually it is disputed, even 5th part of the video tries to address that. (Do banks create money or just credit?)

Which tries to prove that banks create money (not credit) cause money you put on bank is guaranteed by government.

But in reality, (even mentioned shortly on video), it is that your deposit is insured by banks via government.
Hosting ads server side rather than served from client side javascript networks has always been around though.

Originally ad networks were something you rendered out on server side hitting their APIs from the server, and in some cases dns via subdomain. Content hosts were more careful of the content of the ads because it hits their main host ranking.

First party / server side ads are actually preferred if you have to choose as you can limit the ads server side and rogue ads can be dealt with.

Ad networks from the late 90s to early 2000s were this way. Once popup ads took off they started making ad networks client side to not impact rendering on the server and ads could show progressively when inlined into the layout/script.

Today the ads/trackers are almost all client side as it is easier to integrate as more of a widget and less resources used on the server. The ad networks and trackers of today want to own all the data and not share it with content providers, plus being client-side it makes it easy to link data without the need for integration in each endpoint backend just the third party endpoints. Additionally third party ad networks may not trust that page views are organic with the api calls being implemented first-party server side, so they went client-side where they can validate actual page renders and lots of other time/click based metrics.

Ultimately sponsor ads that show up on sites/blogs/portals are usually first party server-side ads still. So as long as there aren't rogue ad networks on the server side or via DNS/subdomain then it may improve ads overall. Since first party ads are server side, unless routed via DNS to the ad network, at least the content provider incurs some cost from hosting it at least in bandwidth. If it is a subdomain that goes to an ad network that is full of dark patterns, that is not so great but it will still impact the host reputation in ranking.

Right now ads are a mess for a few reasons: so much tracking, taking up screen real estate and the marketing team pushing people to subscribe making the free content experience painful. Email/subscribe and ad popups are more prevalent than the behind the browser popups in the early days, very bad experiences.

I sometimes think the days of server side/first party ads and popups from the early internet are preferable to today's inline ads with videos that follow you down and autoplay nightmares all over the page with dozens of trackers and networks all in one. At least first party server side ads that are served up from a backend API hit to a third party or sponsors doesn't cause excessive connections, it also puts an upper limit on the amount of ads that can be shown before it hits costs of hosting and rogue ad networks impact the url reputation so the content hoster may be more of a curating check on ad quality.
The G903 is perfectly ambidextrous, but even something like an old G9X works great as well in my left hand.

I have a Kensington Slimblade as well at home, works great to mix things up.
Atleast in germany the standard breakers don't either but the GFCI does and 3-phase breakers need to interrupt all phases. The neutral is also somewhat regularly grounded in the building's I've seen and atleast one grounding point is required at the distro point. Plus the breakers will trip at 50A inrush anyway.

(From experience, 50V AC won't kill you unless you are standing in a bathtub and covered yourself in conductive gel, you'll just get some minor pain in most cases)
High quality graphics aren't that important to make good games. And any graphical improvement is having diminished returns. The jumps between PS1->PS2 and PS2->PS3 (using console because it's static comparison points, but it applies to PC game too) were noticeable and huge, but now each new generation bring smaller and smaller diminishing returns. And then there's all the games that don't go for cutting-edge graphics.

Perhaps a solution is for websites to have to request authorization to run javascript/wasm on browsers (enforced by the browser). It will allow legitimate uses of client side code, while eliminating the vast majority of abuses.

I wonder if it is also not how GDPR should have been implemented. Forcing browsers to implement a request for storing tracking data, which would avoid dark patterns in consent forms and would keep websites honest. It would also allow to remember the decision. If you delete cookies when the browser closes, you get asked for the same consent you denied on every visit.

It's not finished yet but you can get close to 20M mem usage + overhead of your libs & assets. Executable size is node.js + 2M (30M total IIRC and it compresses nicely to ~10M *.dmg because node contains a lot of strings)

Please file an issue if you want it to happen so that it can be tracked how many people want it too (I had no idea that this is a thing in gaming community). It's now at the bottom of my priorities (I'm working on raspi support so that it can run as smartmirror) but it's not that hard to add so it could actually happen.

I'm not exactly sure how to word it, but my suggestion is privacy related: the implications of publicly sharing information. Why? Because these days, once the cat is out of the bag, oh boy, is it out. I believe this is important for young and old.

Young, because statistically they still have a big life ahead, and realizing this will save them harm, and potentially make them more private about sensitive subjects. I'll hold my breath when my daughter gets in her teenage years. I doubt they'll teach her this at school (it absolutely should be taught though).

Elder, because society has changed so much, and once you're older it is more difficult to keep up (and part of you doesn't want to anymore). Getting on the bandwagon is difficult, and once they do, this part should be an integral part of say "how to use the Internet" (or "how to use your first smartphone"). It could also lead to higher participation of those who are afraid of new technology, thereby leading to more inclusion.

The lesson could have some good examples, could be a workshop, or an open dialogue. Perhaps even a game.

A more advanced lesson two could have a more advanced level of how sharing information privately can become public (by government, blackhats, "freindz", broken cryptography, etc).
If I understand the argument advanced by the article correctly (trivial though it may be), it is as follows: things may be worth investing your time into not just because they are useful, but because they are somehow emotionally satisfying.

While I completely agree with this argument (precisely because it is so trivial), I find it essentially pointless. While "usefulness" of an occupation can be somehow quantified and used to convince other people that a particular occupation is worth doing, emotional satisfaction is subjective and not comparable between different individuals. While someone gets a kick out of reading Latin, another may find pleasure in playing sports or gaming. One pastime in no way seems better than the other.

She toys with this question by asking why not study German, Russian, Arabic, or Chinese instead, and I think completely drops the ball with the answer.

The article can convince only those who share the author's aesthetic values.
No, he just said iff you learned it in an hour then you must have read that article. If it took you longer then you didn't necessarily read it.
As a person who has held various clearances through my career
I wonder about this guy telling his story.

It is interesting to read for sure,but he does say in that he promised not to talk about "forever".

I have been given similar talks.

Even if part of what you work on is declassified, it does not release you from the "forever" clause.

I assume he has requested and been given permisson to talk freely about it.
I think that's the wrong angle to take.

People who obsess over cringe are people who desperately need to find someone to feel better about. It's a symptom of low self esteem and self-loathing, amplified by internet-powered vicious cycles.

That MAY mean that that person is also "cringey" by someone's reckoning, but that framing traps you in the same framework of self-loathing.

This is an extremely toxic mindset, and it is something that you should always work hard to break yourself out of.

The self-reflection part hadn't actually occurred to me, but it makes sense.

When I met my wife, "PDA" meant "public display of affection." I prefer that to my cell phone any day, albeit not with a bunch of radios. Only a HAM operator would be into that kind of thing.
I second this. Ejecta is beautiful and I really hoped the concept would catch on.
I've studied Latin in school (and plan to do it again in the future, I'd like to be able to read it semi-fluently eventually). I really enjoy the language but I'd be extremely wary of using qualifiers like "powerful" for languages. That generally leads us towards extremely bad linguistics. Being more synthetic doesn't mean that you're more powerful per-se. You haven't said that exactly of course but I encounter this sentiment a lot in English-speaking circles, with people saying things like English is "dumbed down" or simpler because it prefers analytic constructs to synthetic ones. I also remember a Brazilian fellow saying that Brazilian Portuguese was worsening because people favored the analytic future "vou comer" over the synthetic "comerei" (which is amusing because this synthetic future comes from an analytic construct "comer hei", it's not the Latin future tense).

As a sibling comment points out, these features exist in may other languages, for instance Slavic languages such as Russian or Polish. Besides, even though this flexibility is theoretically achievable, in practice the day-to-day language is filled with more calcified idioms and ways of speech. You could, in English, say "to you this book I give" instead of "I give this book to you" but I'm sure most agree that's rather slanted even though I believe this is perfectly grammatical. A poet could write the former, but if you say something like that in colloquial speech people are going to wonder if you're having a stroke.

Judging the "power" and flexibility of Latin through the verses of Ovid is like judging English through Milton's Paradise Lost. Only educated speakers would come even close to even understand properly that level of language, let alone construct it.

Of course that's just speculation on my part but given that modern Romance lost the case system almost entirely it seems like there wasn't a lot of friction here. If common Vulgar Latin speakers really valued word shuffling surely they'd have found a way to maintain the cases I'm sure. I could also point out that in Russian (a language I've been studying a lot lately) it's very easy to build a sentence that seems grammatically right but sounds off to a native speaker. For instance Russian speakers tend to prefer to put locative expressions at the beginning on the sentence, so they say "on the table is the fork" instead of "the fork is on the table" which may sound slanted or putting emphasis on a different part of the sentence.
I've had my eye on that one for a while. How do you like not having an escape or function keys? That's the biggest thing holding me back from getting it.

That would be great, but realistically I think that's never going to happen.

Legislation-wise, I think the best the web can hope for is forcing websites to label ads. It doesn't sound unobtainable, especially as similar legislation already exists for political ads in many places. For example, legislation could require websites to label all ads with some kind of strictly defined watermark. In addition, some kind of software-readable indication would be required for accessibility purposes. Could be a special HTML tag or attribute. That would make ad blocking much easier.
The American Red Cross has Adult CPR/AED/First Aid classes where the classroom portion is only an hour. There's an online component that you have to do beforehand, so the whole class is probably closer to 4 hours, but I think if you took only the classroom part you'd come out with a decent idea of how to perform CPR.
A couple of years ago I saw a cartoon for learning Korean script. Unfortunately I did not save that. It was similar to the cartoon posted by HN user rococode about Cyrillic script down here.

I was just in Japan, and really felt my lack of basic language. I picked it up quicker than I expected, but without having someone who knew both English and Japanese it was hard to know if I was getting it right. By the end of the trip I had a few interactions in Japanese and it felt great, I really wish I had learned before going over to get the most out of the knowledge.

A few items to learn I would add to your list:

* Sorry, I do not understand

* May I (take a picture/sit here/...)?

* That was delicious (or simply the word for delicious)

* I only understand {my language}

The reason I mention the last one over simply "I do not understand" is it makes it clear that not only do you not understand, you probably won't understand if they try again. It also lets them know a language you would understand so they can get out a translating app. It was easy enough to translate from English to Japanese up front, but nearly impossible to hear the Japanese, write it out, and translate it to English. So you'll need the native speaker to translate in that direction.

The end of the article where David is the pauper despite making half a million a year hit home. Perspectives get so warped around wealth. I once worked with a guy making $500k/year despite relatively low skills and education because he was in the right place at the right time on Wall Street. But he fell in with a social crowd of people with true wealth and his ego turned out to be a dark monster. The guy ended up spending half a decade in prison after stealing millions to try and keep up appearances with that crowd.

The whole compound concept applies very well to startups though. 3% a week adds up.
I learned how to solve Rubic's cube when I was in high school as some kind of party trick, with the beginner's method. Years later, I still remember the movements and recall them in a short notice. Couple of months ago I attended a conference where companies where giving out swag and gift cards to those who give their contact details or watching a demo. After the demo, they told that if I can solve a Rubic's cube and be one of the first 20 to do it, they will give $25 gift debit card. I solved it in a couple of minutes and got my card and had delicious Buffalo Wings with it, so, definitely worth it :)

A big difference in our environment is that when puppet encounters a failure, it keeps going with everything that doesn't have an explicit dependecy on the failed resource. When ansible encounters a failure, it stops dead (of course, you can override that for specific tasks with "failed_when: false"). If you want the flexibility to choose what to fix next, you want puppet. In my arguably understaffed environment, it's useful to be able to say: "no, we can't do that yet, we must fix this first." Things end up cleaner.

Great read, highly recommended.

I especially liked this paragraph:

The absolute most important factor in getting a great deal in a sale is not having to sell. All of the work here happens well before the sale. Craft your business in a way that you would be perfectly happy to run it indefinitely. Get your work/life balance in order and your stress level under control. Go into a sale process with the idea that if you don’t get exactly the offer you want, you are 100% willing to just wait it out and run your business for another year.
