Not trying to yuck your yum, just offer another perspective. I see no benefit from resolutions >1080p for common laptop sizes. I think 17" is the transition point where 1440p even begins to make sense.

The majority of people I've actually discussed this with (note, N=V.Small) tend to agree.

I say this having had multiple laptops <=15.3" with >1080p and really not seeing any benefit. Those have all been provided by employers. I really cannot justify paying for it myself.

What is the benefit you see from higher resolutions on laptops? Am I just missing something?

This looks like a great system to simplify Arduino programming.

However, this runs your program in a loop. You can add a delay to reduce power consumption, but it will reduce responsiveness. I am really looking for interrupt-based Arduino programming.

> drop files content from page cache after closing, useful for backups

It took me a minute to understand why this is useful for backups. It prevents your backup tool from leaving a bunch of stuff in cache that isn't needed. It's a performance thing. (And it's not a data integrity thing, which came to mind because one reason for flushing a cache is to be sure writes to the underlying layer been done.)

This leads to an interesting question: do most backup tools not already have this optimization built in? From a quick perusal of the GNU tar manual page and source and running it under strace, it doesn't seem like it supports it. (Though tar is really more of an archive tool than a backup tool, which isn't precisely the same thing.)
ICANN is a captured organization and hasn't been acting in the best interest of the general public for ages. It needs to be reformed or replaced. The fact 'staff' make decisions and the board skirts any responsibility is a travesty. Their model of governance is a failure, they don't actually listen to people or build consensus. They operate in the shadows and even when it gets noticed, they ignore the public backlash.
I don't think that those escaping from states with high taxes are voting material for the Dems
Not nessicarily. If the amounts turn out to be so large as to possibly increase consumption even more, well then some percentage of people might just reduce their work by a bit and spend more time with their family or do self-sustaining things.

But a large part of why everyone should be demanding a revenue neutral carbon tax is because it neutralizes any objection that is justified by any version of a small-government theory.
If it covers the same visual angle, what's the benefit? It's just more expensive and takes up more space.

I also think "more screen space" == "more productivity" is a fallacy. There was an article here the other day where someone used a Surface Go as his primary development machine. That's a bit extreme, but I used a plain 15-inch MBP without a second monitor for several years at work and didn't feel hindered whatsoever. Of course it depends on your workflow; game developers or film editors tend to need more things onscreen at once, for example. But I think programmers get too excited about more/bigger monitors because they look cool on a desk and are relatively inexpensive these days. And they, you know, feel productive.
"Quality" in this Peretti's context would be "effective in selling a product": i.e. it's what advertisers consider to be quality.

I agree with your point though: from a user's perspective there's no such thing as a quality ad: ads are inherently bad.
This is the first time I've heard Clipper mentioned in a looong time. I was just talking the other day how useful it was in those days that there were tools that included the database and UI all in one. Everything was a bit easier because the language assumed a database, rather than just using a library to interface with one.

After two or three years of 80 - 100 hour weeks I couldn’t do it anymore. I either had to change something or burn out and quit.

What I did was to visualise the business failing. Every which way I could possibly imagine in detail all while telling myself “I don’t care I’ll find a way to be okay.”

Now when I’m at work I’m totally focused on that and when I’m not I’m totally focused on whatever else I may be doing. I don’t feel stress anymore now either.

It is, I did Azure Functions which is their "serverless" solution. It's either a type of CGI 'trigger' which is not as impressive however, another 'function' can be triggered based on Database actions or file uploads in their Blob Storage. So it's just handy if you're all in on Azure, and probably other clouds because you can have code run immediately when events happen for certain services. Outside of that, I find it wasteful.

The other buzzword is microservices. I was working a gig that involved running like 10 on a MBP with 16GB of RAM and it froze up the laptop. Java is not a language for micro anything, at least not in regards to memory. Was fun but dreadful to work with more than 3 local services at once. The creators of the framework suggested to mock services, but it was just messy to do that too.

That Sweden were neutral during the war is a common saying that's slowly going away among Swedes. Sweden were never neutral, flexible but not neutral.

Rate of acceleration isnt the issue. You may make more dust per second but so long as you are getting to the same end speed, and not spinning tires, the total amount of acceleration is the same.

In my experience, over braking is the greater problem. Front tires degrade more quickly than rears. The average driver brakes far harder than they accelerate.
Can google for "statista Number of movie tickets sold in the U.S. and Canada from 1980 to 2018" and you'll find a graph showing movie ticket sales smoothly grew and peaked around the turn of the century and have declined about 20% since the turn of the century.

Revenue is an entirely different graph, where revenue increased in an exponential curve in the 90s, but around the turn of the century has gone to a very slow linear increase, also about 20% since the turn of the century.

Note that US population went up about 15%, I would assume entirely due to immigration, from 282M to 327M.

Annual average CPI from bls.gov shows 172 in 2000 and 255 in 2019, so figure somewhat above 33% inflation since 2000.

So, since the turn of the century, sale quantities are falling about 40% behind population based estimates, whereas revenue is increasing slightly faster than population but vastly slower than inflation.

It would seem casuals and the general public are no longer going to the movies, its the kind of thing you see in extracting maximum revenue from superfans type of thing. Trying and failing to keep up with inflation by appealing more so to an ever shrinking audience of the most motivated fans.

This would fit in with anecdotal "common sense" reports of the product being very formulaic and ever more narrowly targeted.

In the end, markets with shrinking mindshare and shrinking revenue relative to inflation, are usually doomed. Either things will get shaken up and all the trend lines will change or the entrenched legacy players will eventually financialize themselves out of business sooner or later.
i did read the very short page, but still, not being a swede, i suppose i just don't get it.
I really did love my Dell 24" 1920x1200 (even in portrait rotation). I have since switched to a 43" LG 4k monitor and I have no regrets. I tend to only use the middle 2/3rds and keep the desktop background dark. It is more pleasurable than needing to wear reading glasses and it doubles as a half-decent surface to watch shows.

Recently I connected a 19" 1280x1024 monitor for a Pioneer DDJ setup and it was by far the best size/aspect for the task. 16x9 is only ideal within the medium-large range of sizes.
My bad, edited it now.
Not only in America. But I have also to say that the price of a ticker for the cinema is increasing over the years. Before the Euro, a ticket would cost the equivalent of 5 Euro. After 2002, until today, the average ticket price is of 9 Euro and for some shows can also reach 17-20 (!!!), Depending if the film is 3D/IMax/displayed on a 8mm/is weekend.
Ideal version of ICANN would replace nearly everyone there and turn it into a utility that is regulated. Put up TLDs for competitive bid every 10 years with binding commitments that last the entire time, no guaranteed renewal of contract for legacy TLDs.

new gTLDs are out of the bag. I'd say they need some regulation, the thousand percent price increases isn't fair to consumers, but it's hard to put that cat back in the bag and get rid of them. Might need a neglected pool where registry operators simply bid to handle them, you know registration volume and price. They don't get any crazy fees to operate the neglected pool.
I guess I'm one of those frequent visitors to the library, and as strange as it might seem I don't believe I have been to see a movie at the theater in more than 10 years.
I'm not sure I understand your comment. What's the signifigance of it being "just a file format"?

I've always seen it as "just a file format" myself, and I think I've always approached it "from a classic RDBMS angle", but I've never felt confused, and I don't see what I'm overcomplicating.

The author wants to use it to pay for his coffee, his donut (if that exists in Germany) or his car. Or to fill up his car.

Unfortunately this is not possible because the Crypto Community is a subculture.

Could you explain why you think a neutral country would not have secrets? E.g. currently being neutral doesn't mean you don't have preparations on what to do if you get attacked (indeed, both sides in WW2 considered an invasion of Sweden) and would like to keep those secret. You want to keep your diplomatic strategies secret to avoid them being exploited against you. Being neutral does neither necessarily mean "you allow everyone to do whatever they want in your country" nor "you do not interact with the warring parties at all".
That's a weird question, I don't really understand.

> if anyone is unsure if harsher sentencing cuts crime, Medieval times are a pretty strong argument against

But it sure was 100% effective against repeat offenses. Not like for instance the French system where someone can plot a terror attack, get sentenced to 8 years of prison (a shamefully low duration to begin with) and then do it again (possibly one the attacker role this time). In a way death penalty exists, but is reserved to the victims of previous convicts.

Ebooks can be quite expensive or very inconvenient.

Reading a book a week from a major publisher usually costs more than a month from a digital streaming service. Borrowing books requires some planning ahead since much of what's worth reading has a wait list, assuming that it is even available to libraries. Contrast that to print titles. You may be stuck placing something on hold if you are looking for a particular title, but there is usually something worth reading available.
The reason is that girls will still watch to movies made for boys but not vice versa. Also grown ups will still watch movies made for 14 year olds, but not vice versa. So making movies for 14 year olds will reach the largest demographics.
I've been tring and eyeing KDE since 4. There's always something that is not right in the UI foundation. I've heard how lean to WM/GUI code is, low mem usage .. but I always end up in XFCE.

You're welcome! I think the lazy evaluation effectively does streaming -- that was the other reason to look at followup work, like the "Strictly Pretty" paper which had code in ML, a non-lazy language. I'm forgetting the titles of newer ones than that.
Yes, I wonder about the noise issue too. In my personal experience, living near a busy road had a huge effect on sleep quality which in turn increases stress levels and reduces wellbeing.
You don’t need any knowledge of the Swedish language. It is explained on the Wikipedia page.

“Att tiga” means to keep quiet. One would say “Han/hon tiger” to mean “He/she is keeping quiet”. The word “tiger” in Swedish is also how they say the animal. That’s why it has a double meaning.

It’s literally the first sentence of the second paragraph on the page.

> In Swedish, the word svensk can mean both the adjective "Swedish" and the noun "Swede" while tiger can mean either the noun for the animal or the present tense of the verb tiga ("to keep silent", or more colloquially to "keep one's mouth shut"), giving the poster the double meaning "a Swedish tiger" or "a Swede keeps silent".
I’ve done that, by persisting to an S3 backend.. but there’s no concurrent access and it is all one big race condition.
"tiger" in Swedish means both tiger and "being quiet".
This is a fantastic list and should be required reading for entrepreneurs who want to do something outside the normal B2C or tech B 2 tech B space. A surprising number of industries run on razor thin margins, which impacts all kinds of decisions (and opportunities).
This is overly reductive. “Serverless” might be overhyped, but amongst devs and ops it is a perfectly good way to succinctly describe a very specific architecture with real merit. Paying for exactly the compute time i use is pretty sexy to me when I want to deploy and scale a side project.

> If you search for "cheapest gasoline" it's not unreasonable that an ad for an electric car might be interesting.

No, I still don't want to see an ad. It's not unreasonable that a search result for electric cars might be interesting, but I want results from an independent third party that serves me, not from the advertiser that serves themselves.

> Or if you search for "Orlando hotels", an ad for generally less expensive hotels in Kissimmee (the next town over) is more valuable than a perfectly literal result.

No, I still don't want to see an ad. A search result for a cheaper hotel in Kissimmee might be valuable, but I want results from an independent third party that serves me, not from the hotel that serves themselves.

> And if you search for "k8s cluster deployment tools" then you probably want as many ads as possible, so your evaluation doesn't fail to include a comprehensive set of options.

No, I still don't want to see an ad. I want to see search results of a comprehensive set of options, but I want those results from an independent third party that serves me, not from the hotel that serves themselves.

> Perhaps you're saying I already know about electric cars and Kissimmee and kubernetes, to which I'd respond, yes, probably via ads. Maybe a commercial or sign or web ad, but also maybe through a TV news spot (pr campaign) or magazine review (expenses paid) or web article (with affiliate link).

No, I'm saying that I want to discover products that are the best for my needs, not products with the best ad placement. I want tools that serve me, instead of serving the best-funded advertisers.

Literally none of the cases you describe are what I want. Ads inherently give inaccurate information.

Indoor farms only work for greens and veggies, not for calorie crops. It's hard to beat free sunlight. Rooftops are not sufficient area, difficult to access and also compete for space with PV.

> There isn't net deforestation globally, though.

That would be news to me, afaik this is just a goal and hasn't been achieved yet. And as far as carbon footprint goes net zero deforestation still can release carbon overall since new forests won't be as good a carbon store as old growth forest is for a long time.

> lab grown meat

That may be useful from an ethical point of view, but has anyone shown that this can be done with a lower GHG footprint? After all those cell cultures need to be supplied with nutrients too.

If you want meat then switching from bovines to chicken is a thing you can do today. Chicken doesn't release methane, has a lower overall land and carbon footprint. Still less efficient than staple crops of course.

> Does this mean that you can hack some database storage (w/ sqlite) together on frontend only hosting platforms like Github or Netlify?

The meaning of that 'serverless' and this 'serverless' is incompatible, since the web inherently needs servers.

I think the best you can do is uploading the SQLite file to a static hosting platform & decoding it in the browser. You can then use it as a file storage with DB capabilities. (Which is what basically really SQLite is.)
