Yeah outlines are one of many techniques that can make good art. The problem is in the overarching form, any technique or art style would have been sunk by the decisions the artist made.

The good news is the guy has the skill which can succeed on it's own, given it's channeling a positive story. Drawing that well and constructing scenes that well is a fine art that takes a lot of time and effort.

The high fantasy tree-man fighting with a staff on the ground was not the king in 2015, it was the outlaw. Had he committed to an outlaw version of Gandalf or Link from Zelda, he would have had a story that fit the times and likely how he felt as an artist. This depressed faded king surrounded by water and off-beat monsters is an unsolvable conflict that benefits no-one.

"Technology’s primary function is to make human life as easy and efficient as possible."

This is an aside, but that is not technology's role. Tech is supposed to empower us, and act as mind-amplification devices, to make us smarter, faster, and better. The above statement underscores everything that is wrong with tech and how we (edit- as consumers) are on track to completely squander its potential.
I believe it's Selective ACK aka SACK. It allows TCP to ACK ranges of packets so the sender can see that it only needs to resend an earlier block.

I've seen rather good speeds over some bad links from my bittorrent server using large window sizes (up to 9), BBR flow control, ECN fully enabled, and SACK.

> going with kotlin and do android only, as it i by far the largest market

From what I read here and there, that's a half-baked myth in a number of ways. Android users often lag behind the latest Android version, lacking access to the latest features. In terms of revenue as well, Android apps don't seem to be ahead of their iOS counterparts. Someone with experience in publishing for both ecosystems may be able to correct/corroborate this.

SwiftUI targets iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS, all counting for over a billion users combined. That's a substantial market, even when considering that it's limited to the latest version of each OS. And it's obvious that Apple's focus will be on SwiftUI going forward.

In Europe almost every TV had SCART (also caller EURO) connector with RGB input since eighties. My first 386 PC used TV connected over RGB to VGA card with VGATV.COM TRS loaded to reprogram CRTC for 15KHz.

Today you can use CRT Emudriver or Soft-15kHz to do this on modern hardware.
I moved to SoCal from Arizona about 1.5 years ago for a job, and I plan to leave within the next 6 months. The most striking aspect of living here is the incongruity between taxes/state spending and the general despair of the average Californian. Lots of natural beauty here but I can get better quality of life and keep more of my money somewhere else.
>It's easier to beat Valve's lawyers than Sony's. Sony has a long history of paying out the nose for lawyers who could convince a judge that a law saying "Kill no one" meant "Genocide is legal for Sony Corporation!" (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment_Am...)

Is this supposed to be hyperbole? The case itself was never tried, so it that doesn't show anything about how effective sony's lawyers are.
Give yourself a commute at the beginning and end of the day to get some exercise. I take 15-30 minutes to get breakfast and go for a walk in a nearby park. In the evening I will walk around a nearby lake.

My daily step goal is 11K. When I work from home, and don’t make the “commute,” I’m lucky to have 1K steps by lunch.

I wrote a little personal messenger bot and it's amazing. I wanted it to be slightly numerical, mostly text, and easy for me to customize and access. So the messenger bot mostly is a wrapper over pushing to different Google sheets or docs (depending on if it's a daily diary, logging exercise/headache/etc)

Having a customized not that's always on my phone has been surprisingly helpful
Question: if everybody used Aspera (instead of conventional transfer methods), would that negatively impact internet speeds overall?
We are losing the thread here. We are talking about substance abuse disorders. You were arguing that many people are addicted to alcohol as a 'whatabout' counter argument to my point about smoking. The articles I referenced show that firstly, smoking is a significantly bigger cause of harm, despite your contention that smokers have 'a long time to quit'. The reason for this of course is that they don't quit, because they are addicted. This is exactly why we need to stop people from smoking in the first place. Secondly, at the end of the alcohol article, you can see that the prevalence of alcohol use disorders does not increase with alcohol consumption. This is because many people drink alcohol in a non-pathological fashion, even in large amounts (which is nevertheless harmful), and would seem to contradict your argument that alcohol use disorders are a big problem. Even the example you give shows a similar pattern. Most vehicular deaths are in 16-24 year olds, whether alcohol was involved or not. Alcohol compounds the problem, but it doesn't drive it completely.

Notice that I am not disagreeing with you that alcohol causes a lot of harm. It does. As I said, alcohol and tobacco are fundamentally different, on neurophysiological, social and cultural levels.
This is fine as long as you can convince management to spend the money to rewrite your software. That's usually a hard sell though. In my experience this plan usually ends up with a python monstrosity that everyone hates but is forced to deal with forever.

On the other hand, you (OP) should develop an app that's best for you. So if you're using an Android device, I might recommend skipping iPhone development.

Benefit is that you can develop on Windows, Mac, or Linux, won't have to buy an iDevice or two, or a new machine.

Programmers Should Plan for Lower Pay
Thanks for sharing about it taking thirty years. I can only imagine that it becomes so much harder of a problem to solve when the symptoms are as severe as a migraine.

Unfortunately, I don't think people understand how long it takes to get a grasp on everything we ingest. Someone in a sibling comment mentioned giving up after just a few months of "logging" their diet.

It took me years to narrow down an allergy/sensitivity to tannins. And it also took years to recognize the full extent of sugars' effect on my body.
Last I heard the FCC doesn't. When people complained the devices were not licensed the FCC issued licenses "for emergency use only". That's probably because interference with radio communications is against the law and the FCC as a mere regulator is subject to that law.

All rather moot as these things are mostly used for various forms of illegal surveillance. The police have to keep their activity as secret as possible. That includes the fact that they are using them in the first place.

This whole issue isn't new. The police normally do, or get others to do, surveillance that is illegal in various ways. The existence of these sorts of devices is an expression of a kind of desperation. Privacy is getting too good. So this might actually be a good thing if this forces a long overdue discussion.
yep, logarithmic. Well, the question is what's the motive about those design choices? Today's e.g. web app choices seem to be basically aesthetic with an eye for extreme novelty, and total disregard for how many times a buffer is being copied back and forth before reaching the user.

Phase Velocity versus Group Velocity: Wave Dispersion
Not sure it matters in practice but in general a printable boarding pass is not equivalent to one issued for digital use. Specifically, printable boarding passes are PDF-417 symbology where mobile boarding passes mostly Aztec and QR symbologies, and occasionally Datamatrix. I could imagine an airline like Ryanair making a point of only accepting mobile boarding passes on phones, to extract additional revenue. This is covered in the IATA BCBP standard. [1]

> Or, just don't hire junior developers :).

1. You miss a lot of great talent this way.

2. Growing and developing juniors is part of what makes a "senior."

3. This isn't sustainable advice -- if noone is hiring juniors, then where are the new seniors coming from?
I guess it depends on the complexity of your distributed system (assuming you’re operating one).

We prefer to have job OOM kill and get retried elsewhere (which could be a completely different machine) and we have plenty of infrastructure that makes this trivial. This infrastructure also deals with other types of partial failure, such as complete machine failure.

As mentioned above, paging introduces strange pref behaviour. Which may not always be important, but if your working under tight latency requirements then paging can push you over that boundary.

That sounds strange when we’re happy to see jobs die entirely (that screws latency). But the issue with paging is you have no idea when it’s gonna hit you, and may impact a job that’s behaving perfectly fine, except something got paged out by a badly behaving job.

Ultimately disabling paging is a really good tool for limiting the blast radius of bad behaviour, and making cause-and-effect highly correlated (oh look thing X just OOMed, probably means thing X consumed too much memory. Rather than thing Y has strange tail latency because thing X keeps consuming too much memory). It’s failing fast, but for memory rather than exceptions.
The pinetime looks really good, I’m planning on getting a couple for me and a friend since we’re both decent embedded devs and the lack of a preinstalled OS probably won’t be so bad for us.

Right. He’s got some kind of notorious programming style with who knows what kinds of object graphs. It would be quite a data point to know if he thinks that he can comfortably map it to Rust.
It's supply and demand. During the last decade all new buildings built that I've seen in the sf/bay area are business parks. When both new houses are not built, and we're not building up, yet corporations are allowed to build, you're going to get this kind of inequality.

In Florida, for example, it's common to see new apartment buildings starting at 10 stories tall. In the bay area, it's rare to see an apartment building past 3 stories.

There is massive potential to build up, but communities of home owners who treat their property like an investment are doing everything they can to prevent new real estate. This selfish behavior may benefit them and eventually their kids, but it hurts everyone else.

The irony being that the Democratic party is the party of helping the disadvantaged, yet the selfishness we are experiencing, isn't very in line with the dnc. California is a liberal state, believing odd balls should be treated like human beings, expressing creativity for who people are and embracing that. But, contrary to common belief, California isn't very left wing and it isn't even strongly in line with the democratic party. States on the east coast, like New Jersey, are far more left wing than California, but are less liberal. If you go north to Oregon, it's just as liberal as California, but is a Republican state.

What Californians need most is to end prop 13, or reduce it to some sort of capacity. This way we would be like every other state. Most of our problems would go away if we did that.
That is amazing!

Part of the trouble with Haskell is the prevalence of syntactic sugar. It is incredibly easy to make code that is tiny and indecipherable because it relies upon functions which are compositions of higher-ordered functions with monads and obscure operators that no other language has. And on top of that Haskell is lazily evaluated, which complicates it further.

And don’t even start with point-free style, a style where parameters are left implicit. For a reader point-free is appalling and way too clever.

I would say junior Haskell should be unsophisticated. Leave out the higher order abstractions and write longer code which a reader at a lower level has a hope of deciphering.
They have a lot more CPU than they need, but the challenge is often getting servers shaped appropriately (RAM x CPU x disk x network), especially if you're not building your own.

Ultimately, their service is (most likely) not compute-bound.
Using Let and Context to Modularize RSpec Tests
Observation:

Group velocity -- can potentially be much faster -- than any of its constituent, individual phase velocity components, from other individual waves...

Conversely, it should be possible to construct a relatively fast moving group velocity wave -- by means of commingling two or more much slower individual waves...

Also -- apparently by adjusting phase (all of the above occurs by phase adjustment), you could also get a backwards-traveling group velocity wave, even though the constituent individual phase velocity waves are forward moving...
Okay, I just did a Google Search for "oven range" which led me to Best Buy's website. Literally the first one I found:

Did you not want those buttons either?

I'm glad you did. I wanted a refund of Jagged Alliance 2 back in the early 2000s and they refused, despite crippling bugs with unlimited money in the base game and saving crashed in the expansion but only on the Steam versions you could buy it bug-free on other marketplaces. They sold it like that for years, I wish I'd thought of going to the ACCC but oh well.

I did go to the ACCC a couple years ago when I wanted a refund on GOG - they're more dishonest than Steam as they market a money back guarantee but the only circumstance they will refund is if you prove to their satisfaction that the game cannot open on your computer. It's a "no refund" policy just like Steam used to have.

Stack overflow hosts all (most?) Of their own baremetal servers in their own data center.

Looking at the specs of the machines, they are actually pretty basic as far as servers go. A server isn't barely worth the cost of it's chassis and motherboard if you put less than 64 G ram and 24 CPUs in it.

In other words, these are about the lowest specd proper servers you can get. So yeah, even their modest hardware is still overspecd for running their website.
It's a lot lower in Germany but in principle it does exist.

> With that in mind, there's not really any kind of reasonable way to hide what devices are connecting to what tower. This is where location information comes from. It's really an inescapable part of how cellular devices work.

The comment from mirimir elsewhere in this thread reminds me that this is kind of an overstatement, or at least that the details are complicated.

You could gain a lot of privacy in this regard by separating mobile data services from telephony and identity. For example, you could imagine paying for mobile data anonymously, either using existing prepaid mobile data services or using a hypothetical future service with blinded payment tokens and only extremely-ephemeral device identifiers. Then you could imagine getting all of your identity and communications services from someone totally independent of your mobile data provider. If the mobile data provider cooperated with your application-layer communications service provider more than you wanted, you could try to create your own service instead, or try to route at least the messaging setup part of the process via Tor or other proxies, so that the mobile data operator and application-layer intermediaries didn't even know about the connection.

I'm not sure anyone other than privacy advocates would consider this progress relative to the current situation; certainly carriers and governments would like it a lot less (it might already be illegal in some jurisdictions in various ways), and most users would probably find that it increased cost while decreasing reliability and usability of some services. It could also make it harder to use the network to investigate or deter device theft, as well as harder to investigate application-layer fraud and account hijacking.

To be clear about what could change, it's true that towers will always know which devices are connecting to them at a particular moment, but this could in principle be separated from billing, identity, and any kind of persistent identifier. So they don't have to know that a particular device is being used by you, or that a particular device is being used by the same person who uses a particular application-layer identity.

The other problem in trying to get there right now without carriers' and governments' cooperation is that, since you can't rotate hardware identifiers on GSM interfaces, a carrier can see your movement patterns for the lifetime of your use of a particular device, and can probably determine that those movement patterns are similar enough to another device's movements that they're probably used by the same person.

Sometime I hope to write a long article on possible non-metadata-collecting mobile communications futures. It's a really interesting topic.
Metadata from one person isn't worth anything, but the graph of who's contacting who is very useful. Plus, it's computationally feasible to do that graph analysis on everyone, while listening to every call wouldn't be.
You can also come up with more benefits by thinking alongs these lines, for example: the kernel doesn't need to keep track of which packets go to which process because there is only one process (the kernel itself). There could be a performance benefit thanks to this.

Which carries other benefits: boot time, memory overhead, etc. You could probably treat IncludeOS VMs like containers.
Managing. Expectations.

Easily took away 75% of the stress at work and stopped from it bleeding into my private life.

This can manifest itself as:
- being upfront with what you do and don't know when asked to do anything so if delays occur, it won't be b/c you overpromised == lose trust
- keeping stakeholders in the loop with any significant developments so there are no surprises down the road
- estimate normal project work as if you can only work ~8 hours a day/5 days a week (while taking meetings, vacactions, other normal overheads into consideration)

This, IMHO, is a pre-req to properly implementing any of the other common helpful tips others have listed.
