Do you know why isn't it easier to offload compilation to the cloud yet? Compilation is an embarrassingly parallel problem and shouldn't need take longer than than slowest file plus linking. Compilation is also a pure function (I know it's not quite set up like that in practice but it is in theory) so it's stateless and cacheable. I would have thought developers could share a massive cluster and have thousand-way compilation instantly. Doesn't seem to be a thing people are building or using in practice for some reason.

The biggest problem I'm facing right now is credit card processing costs. The restaurant business is a high revenue, low margin industry. The fees are higher for online transactions (no card present) vs. in person transactions (card present), on the order of 1-2%. I think this is the biggest reason it hasn't happened yet. However, I have a workaround which I think will work.
As someone who worked on the iPad v1, I can tell you, it was a product built in search of a problem. It was going to compete against the, then, growing Netbook market. Steve Jobs thought Windows was going to win that market and hastily threw a team together to answer for it. However, during several all-hands, no one except SJ seemed even remotely excited about the product.

"These things will probably sell in the educational market or something."

"Developers will always surprise us, they will come up with use cases for us."

During development Amazon was proving that people wanted E-Book readers. So when it was clear the iPad didn't yet have a coherent story from Apple, iBooks was thrown together at the eleventh hour and then SJ went on the attack against Amazon to push back against the growing Kindle market.

And then Windows 8 happened! People asked Apple (And Tim Cook), will we see touch-screen Macs? And instead Apple trapped itself in a corner by doubling down that the iPad was going to forgo running full macOS because something about people not wanting to touch their laptop screen. So here we are, a product that launched without a vision, and then hamstrung by ego.

It's true that people who love their iPads, LOOOVE their iPads. So it's a nice product. It's definitely well made and I love reading the news on mine. It's a great device to travel with, for sure, yet I agree with Gruber, this thing will never flourish outside of the niche markets its found itself in.

Like I dunno, I like the environment (and have probably spent more time lost in the wild than 99% of this sub ever will) and I also like economic development. I also believe that some political goals maybe should be pursued carefully lest opinion shift too far the other direction and the masses wind up crucifying you...

Global warming is tough because we could destroy our economy in order to not emit any CO2 and nothing would happen unless we get cooperation from everyone else because CO2 levels are cumulative. It's very much a prisoners dillema sort of game and I really don't think most 'environmentalists' really want to do what it takes.

There is also a social equivalent, which is highly regional/cultural: How much do we talk ourselves up, versus how modest are we?

If you talk like you're the hottest thing since sliced cheese in some places, you're looked upon as an arrogant braggart; if you don't in other places, it is assumed you are completely incompetent.
Yeh yep indeed. I didn’t make that connection, but for me what came to mind was Dustin Hoffman’s failed artist character in the Meyerowitz Stories. Not identical but he too laments “not playing the game”. The scene at the beginning where he simultaneously disdains his more successful colleague while also relishing being mentioned by him is just great.

And while I’m on the topic of Baumbach movies, there’s a scene in the Squid and the whale where the kid gets in trouble for performing a Pink Floyd song at a high school talent show and claiming it as his own. When he’s rightly brought to task for it, he says something like “I could have written it, it’s a simple song” to which he is told “but you didn’t” (paraphrasing, it’s been a while). There’s an echo of that here too.

Well, maybe that's why they generally are not so great.

On the other hand, Pandora has traditionally existed with playing music that you'll like, but didn't explicitly select, as its reason for existence. Maybe that's why it seems to do a better job at this than other streaming services.
100% agree with this. I had to develop a system to accept Apple tokens and validate them in exchange for our own system's token. When I did this the documentation was sorely lacking (looks the link you posted is fairly recent).
Of course, but that's not what the original claim was. The original claim was that software engineers, on average, can demand a wage proportional to the value they create. Which is simply not true. They can command a higher wage because they generate more profit, but how much more they will be paid is not that value (or a function of it - and, again, speaking for the average developer, not highly niche specialists), it's set by supply and demand.

If the claim from the beginning had been 'career advice: specialize your tech skills to the point where you can present such a unique proposition that you can command a share of your value add as salary, and also make sure that that specialization is something that brings a high value add', then of course I would have agreed. But saying that the average joe schmoe web developer is in a position to negotiate based on their value add is simply not true. I mean, don't take my word for it - just look at what the salaries for run of the mill software engineers are. (someone is going to bring up big five salaries and claim SE's are paid 1/2 mill - yeah no, those are not 'average')
> The companies named in the suits include Tollfreedeals.com, Global Voicecom Inc., Global Telecommunication Services Inc and KAT Telecom Inc.

I guess it's not clear to me exactly what role these companies play in the process. They aren't AT&T and Verizon. Tollfreedeals.com sounds like it would be one of the scammers, not one of the phone companies, but I can't tell from the article.
They are going after the VOIP providers, exactly as they should.

Here in Canada we've had years of various frauds -- spoofed calls pretending to be the government, the police, etc -- and it almost always comes down to a single VOIP provider.
>I don't think the majority of the poverty problem comes from otherwise well to do parents falling on hard luck

I don't disagree - competent people, who have learned successful strategies, are unlikely to be reduced to permanent poverty except in extreme cases.

However, for those born into poverty, growing up surrounded by ignorance and lack of stimulation does make it exceedingly difficult to learn necessary life strategies to begin the slow, often times multigenerational climb out of poverty. First and foremost, what no one is willing to admit, combating poverty, at least in first world nations, really comes down to combating culture. And because a large proportion of certain (not all) minorities live within this culture, the idea of changing their way of life, even if you think it's ostensibly for the better, is understandably a sensitive subject.

But the way we dance around it isn't doing anyone any favors.
That's probably going to be difficult mostly because of heat dissipation issues. You'd probably have to make the case out of metal to act as a big sink for both the Rpi itself and the converter heat outputs.

> Tim Cook has added $1 trillion dollars to Apple's market cap since he took over.

No he hasn't. What's with the PR style nonsense with every earning release. Whether it's microsoft, apple, etc, every thread has these types of comments.

All of apple's top products were created before Cook took over in 2011.

Your win32 comment is odd. I was developing on NT during the 3.1 betas in ~1992 and we chose to go all in on multithreading. Our product launched in 1993 with the release of NT. I don't ever remember hitting an OS level thread/etc bug (fair share of footguns though).

More than a year later we were trying to port much of the codebase to solaris and it was a nightmare. Pretty much nothing worked right so we ended up bolting on the fork/mmap abstraction on top of much of it and building our own lock wrapper. While we sorta got it working, the solaris port died for internal political reasons and the NT version took off and we never looked back.

NT was designed out of the gate for heavily threaded/async workloads, that stuff wasn't bolted on like pretty much every unix clone in existence.

> For hobbyists. Not for its target market.

The mac pro is somewhere between "too expensive" and "too little, too late".

The standard line is that if you make $$$ using the Mac Pro - e.g. production companies - the cost is peanuts. However, they took so long to upgrade the Pro lineup that some of those would-be-buyers have already moved on to non-Apple products because working on old hardware for so long was more expensive than jumping off Apple's ship.

Certainly many stayed. But I have several friends that work in production in LA and more than one of them left Apple's ecosystem during that dry spell. They aren't coming back for an overpriced machine.

When I meditate all I'm trying to do is keep my attention in the present moment; if my mind starts to wander I bring it back, and so on.

I've always loved going on walks, and they've just turned out to be a good way to work through mental/emotional stuff. Walking helps you stay in the moment as well, and when you're focusing your attention on the moment there's always new things to sense.

Let me know if that's not clear enough.

EDIT:

Another important part of meditation is the analysis of your thoughts and emotions. Whatever comes up, try to understand why it did as well as you can.
> walking meditation

Walking while meditating. There's a common misconception that you need to be sitting or lying down to meditate *or even need to be in a dark candle lite room lol). Meditating is a state of mind.

I support the vegetarian movement from the perspective of cruelty, sustainability, and eco-friendliness. My understanding is that Telsa's belief that a veggie diet is superior (regarding mechanical and mental performance) has been disproven. Anecdotally, of the people around me, I've seen no correlation in the top athletic/career achievers to any kind of diet. Rather, balanced and disciplined eating seems to correlate.

Are there any good sources for a particular diet/restriction that correlates with mechanical or mental performance? Anecdotally the top performers I know generally balance meat/fruit/vegetables, eliminate sugar, and follow other common nutrition knowledge without committing to any particular diets or restrictions.

I'll second this finding. I'm not getting younger, sure... but I can still go to a party convention and average 3hrs sleep a night for 5 days, or "decide" to play Beat Saber until 2AM.

The reality is that if it's important, you'll make time to go to bed earlier. It takes a while for the body to hit restful sleep so early (and using blackout curtains / dawn clocks have been pivotal). For me it was wanting to start working out in a particular morning class... I immediately shifted from midnight to 9:30-10 to give myself the extra time in the morning.

For my purposes, I get by without a phone backup. I store most data on my NAS or in iCloud (supposed to be E2E encrypted), so when I do get a new iPhone or iPad ever few years, the only data I've lost is my system config. It's a little bit of a pain to reconfigure, sure, but local backups to iTunes are much more of a pain (and always seem to break for me).

I would love to use iCloud Backup, but my understanding is that as soon as you do, everything that was E2E encrypted (because you're using iCloud services) immediately becomes visible to Apple.
This problem will only apply to very few people. But over the past 2.5 years I've been tracking everything and deriving insights on my activities. This produced some astounding results. e.g. Chewing gum makes me more comfortable in a conversation. Recently I've found a community of robot-like people on reddit who also do this. So I decided to build a platform. It's still in its early stages but feel free to check it out: simplelifedata.com

>I was initially using wc but that got too slow so I wrote something that was like wc but only did line counting.

Any reasonable wc should be fast enough for that purpose; just remember to use the '-l' switch to activate the fast path for line counting.

>Some things I noted when doing my testing is that each program counted the number of lines, characters, and words differently in this corpus.

All programs should report the same line counts (should be exactly the number of line feed characters in the input).

Other than that, it really depends on your current locale and the wc you're using (see https://github.com/expr-fi/fastlwc README for more details). Do note that this D implementation seems to implement the wc character counting behaviour you get with the '-m' switch (instead of the byte counting default).

Also worth noting that different operating systems have different locale definitions; glibc locales explicitly treat non-breaking spaces as non-whitespace characters, while for example Windows doesn't.

I'm working on pacing emails to a more manageable, calmer schedule. I'm doing it with essentially a UI-less system which is a rather fun way to produce an app. It simply requires a user to update their email of the website that emails them too frequently with a paced.email alias. E.g.

johndoe.shopify@daily.paced.email
johndoe.stripe@weekly.paced.email
johndoe.github@monthly.paced.email

At the end of each period, a single email is sent to the real email address containing all of the messages the alias received over that timeframe.

Even if you could statically link everything else you would still to dynamically link to the system's native user-mode graphics drivers, which in practice means that you also need to dynamically link to other libraries used by your application and the drivers (like glibc & libllvm) in order to maintain compatibility. Static linking against glibc isn't really recommended in any case.

Nothing prevents you from providing your own preferred versions of most of the dynamic libraries along with the application, however. It should be possible to limit external dependencies to libraries that actually care about maintaining compatibility.
