This is a crazy conversation! Dynamic linking allows the system to decide the UI. Static linking means that the UI cannot evolve.

Imagine statically linking UIKit or Android's UI library!
No one would say that if you just taxed everyone 10,000 dollars a year that prices would fall in a way such that everything would carry on the same.

The US already has a fairly solid way to transfer money for those in need of food. I'm sure it inflates food prices some but clearly without food stamps more people would be hungry.
From the OP in another comment, it was used as a prototype:

It’s very interesting from a psychological standpoint: the current front page headline (for me?) is “Planets and dwarf planets to scale in size, rotation speed, axial tilt and oblateness (numbered in distance order from Sun)”

If I were reading this on /r/dataisbeautiful, I’d immediately parse and grok the headline just fine. But with this, my mindset was on the reporting of actions or events and I read “to scale” as an infinitive (verb/action), almost like the intro to a sci-fi novel that starts with a stunning declaration that in x days, all planets will actively shrink by y% in some never before seen cosmic event.

If you’ll allow me to use a programming analog, it wasn’t until my tokenizer hit the first parenthesis that my lexer switched to the correct track.
There's no direct connection to New Zealand. The founders visited New Zealand at some point, and brought back a stuffed kiwi toy for their child. When naming the company, it crossed their mind and so they went with it[1].

Their offices are in Mountain View. I used to live around the corner from them.

They are definitely an invasive species, although the damage they do is mostly ecological and economic; they're not really dangerous to people directly. I've heard stories to that effect but I expect they're exaggerated.
How so? Carbon disulfide is rather nasty, but it's straightforward to recover most of it. TLV is 10 ppm, while the effluent air from Teepak is 100 ppm [0], meaning you could spend hours a day with just over a 10:1 dilution of the factory exhaust. And there are lots of efforts to get those emissions way lower.

If it means less microplastics, I'm all for it.

In windows and Linux you can still open hidden folders and files simply by typing the hidden path element into the file manager. You still won't see any hidden contents, but you don't need to type out the full path--just navigate to your user folder, and type `./.config` in it to enter it.
Milton Glaser is probably the most well known graphic designer in history because of his I (Heart) NY work, but he has so many outstanding pieces of graphic design work.

It always amazes me how incredibly timeless are his logos. You could launch any brand with that logo tomorrow and it wouldn’t look out of place.

He also did some great satirical pieces.

> You misconstrued that quote, all that sentence meant was I'm fine with defending sides that I know are unpopular and will lose me karma.

Ok. That's an novel meaning of the phrase "going negative" to me, but you know what you meant.

> Most importantly to gain karma you need to choose the "correct" side, like you do. Ya'know, the Beto gun confiscation side.

You misread my comment [1] on that subject. I didn't take the pro gun-confiscation side in that comment. I addressed another comment about how the assault-weapon confiscation procedure would take place if they were in fact banned. Whether or not I support a ban on assault weapons (I do) was irrelevant to the comment. You might notice that I also argued that if a ban were put in place, that owners of those weapons must be given the opportunity to voluntarily turn in those weapons without the immediate threat of violence being used against them.

> It's definitely not mainstream libertarian here.

Sure. It more neoliberal (lower taxes, less social safety net) than the anarcho-capitalist or ethno-nationalist libertarianism that you might see elsewhere. But all those viewpoints are represented here, as are democratic socialist (like me), labor unionists, and other shades of the political left.

Outside of the ethno-nationalists, most of those viewpoints don't get downvoted unless they use personally offensive rhetoric (i.e demeaning particular demographics, advocating violence against the rich, contempt for the poor, etc).

A viewpoint that gets downvoted no-matter-what is ethno-nationalism. I'm OK with that, because I think we have plenty of documented history of ethno-nationalism to understand why it has no place in public discourse.

To be honest I think it's common for such types to have had essentially no higher education in politics and civics. Saying business is or should be apolitical is such a nonsensical opinion that you'd get laughed out of the room at university.

The dominant political ideology in tech hubs is _so_ dominant that it's usually invisible. Now that big tech is getting challenged political, some people think returning to the status quo would be to free themselves from political involvement.

The work you do 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 40 years is the biggest political thing in your entire life.
Witness the election of Donald J Trump, and his adulation by the Idiocracy.
It’s really sad how much typesetting and font rendering has taken a backseat since the 80s and 90s. It seems like just yesterday the race was about finding the optimal algorithms for typesetting text to avoid rivers, have aesthetically pleasing ragged or justified text, tweak word breaking heuristics to avoid local optima that give poor overall results, etc and coming up with fonts that were hand-hinted and carefully designed to display as correctly as possible on the output devices of the time.

Now, we’re lucky if we get an option to manually specify hyphenation points for line wrapping, we have horribly thin and broken “web fonts” that supersede even locally installed versions with correct hinting of the same typeface, have disabled subpixel rendering so we can play nicer with animations, transitions, and useless effects, and consider ourselves incredibly lucky if we get real italics rather than oblique versions of the Roman typeface *for fonts with italic versions around since the early ‘90s.
well done sir.
> Government lawyers have met with developers as recently as last week and are asking questions about Apple’s rules that require apps to use its App Store payment system for subscriptions, said the people, who declined to be identified discussing a confidential matter. Apple pockets up to a 30% cut when apps use the payment technology.

> The Justice Department has met with both high-profile and small developers that sell apps. “We’ve spoken with the DOJ regarding Apple and the App Store twice,” said David Heinemeier Hansson, the founder of software company Basecamp, which created the Hey email app, in an interview. “We shared our experience, relayed the experience of others, and put them in contact with a developer who didn’t want to go public with their story. I’m really glad that the DOJ is looking into this, because we need both legislative action, but also enforcement.”

> The government is also asking questions about the Google Play app marketplace, two of the people said. It isn’t clear whether scrutiny of Google Play is part of the Justice Department’s ongoing antitrust investigation into Google or whether the questions are being used to inform the Apple inquiry.

> Unlike Apple, Google’s Android phones allow users to access multiple app stores in addition to Google Play, which may help insulate the company from an antitrust enforcement action over its app store practices. Apple has said it doesn’t allow multiple stores for security reasons.

> Apple’s growth is at stake. If apps could sell subscriptions outside the App Store, developers could stop using Apple’s payment system, causing the company to lose revenue. Fees from App Store transactions are estimated to be one of the largest contributors to Apple’s services revenue, a business the company is trying hard to expand.

Ubiquiti makes gigabit speed wireless backhaul devices in the unlicensed 24Ghz band. It's the AF24HD. They can go several miles, but are susceptible to the signal dropping in the rain depending on your climate.

MikroTik makes some 60Ghz point to point gigabit radios that can supposedly go for 2km.

Finally, many commercial providers of E-band devices (licensed 70-80Ghz spectrum) sell gigabit capable radios that can go a couple of miles.

Any of those seem like good options for an urban building in need of better internet service.

CMOS cameras almost always have a rolling shutter, but not always. At the Very High End of things, there are models that don't. e.g. the Sony PMW-F55 with a CMOS global shutter [1], around USD$30k

In the struggling camera industry, I bet a consumer-priced global shutter (or excellent computational correction for a mechanical/electronic roller shutter) could be a boost. Smaller, solid state, etc. The next logical step after mirrorless?

I question your assertion that police are necessary to reduce violent crime. I’m sharing one reason below. Another is that the police have an atrocious record when it comes to dealing with one of the most violent crimes short of murder, which is rape.

“The Crisis Management System: this network deploys teams of credible messengers who mediate conflicts on the street and connect high-risk individuals to services that can reduce the long-term risk of violence. In the last three years, the Crisis Management System has contributed to a 15 percent decline in shootings in the 17 highest violence precincts in New York City.”

It's not about comparing those injustices. It's just about knowing our American History and acting with compassion to try to right the wrongs of our past. Both Native Americans and African Americans have a special situation due to their origin story in the founding of our country. But the African American experience is also different from most others due to the more obvious visual differences between a white and black person. It allowed injustices to continue both spoken and unspoken for many, many decades, and still to this day continue both consciously and sub-consciously.

If a white person grew up poor and in a single parent home, they can put on a nice suit and go to a job interview and blend in. And I'm not necessarily just talking about today. But definitely in the very recent past. Which affects the parents of children today and their ability to provide a good education among many other things to make their children competitive.

But talking more about today, it was in the early 2000s I believe where a study was done sending out thousands of identical resumes. Some with white sounding names and others with black sounding names. The white names got 50% more callbacks than the black names. That is an astounding difference and that alone shows that we have a serious problem. I suspect if we did that today, the results would be better, but still not "color blind".
Sad to hear of his passing - Glaser was prolific. I used to work fairly regularly with a company (Masque Sound) that provided audio equipment for Broadway shows.

> do you really think that it won't be possible to rent a room for less than $10k/year

...that's not what they're saying. The 10k/year wouldn't all go to one cost, it would get split across all costs, distributed by peoples' choices. Certain foods may go up only a couple dollars, while rent could increase a few hundred, until in aggregate across all costs that extra 10k is used up with no net gain to quality of life.
In a literal market, you can find alpha in tomato trading by:

(1) monitoring other people’s tomato transactions in as much detail as possible;

(2) spying on people who are about to buy tomatoes and rapidly make changes behind the scenes just before they make a purchase; or

(3) pointing voice analysis at The Food Network looking out for recipes that call for fresh tomatoes, tracking tomato tankers in major sea lanes, monitoring storm tracks in the top tomato growing zones, etc, and adjusting your position appropriately.

It sounds like you are trying (1) when (3) might be better, or even (2) if you are not jail-averse (or your local jurisdiction has institutionalized high speed market fiddling to the point of being legal.)
The parent comment is confused. NYC mesh doesn't use actual laser beams, they use a cheap 5Ghz TDMA solution made by Ubiquiti called Litebeam. Interference can be a big issue for this equipment, especially in an urban environment with a high noise floor.

> When I do see political topics (which is often these days) and such a one sided view, I feel the need to voice the other side.

Me too, but I thank the slowdown-bot because slowdowning is generally a good idea in life. Forced to take time, you'll probably write a better response anyway. Knowing that you're slowdowned, you're forced to be more strategic in what you choose to respond to. It's a gift.
> The biggest thing to me was that I learned that motivation was something that could come after you force yourself to wake up early and just get started.

Yeah, the biggest trap is to wait for motivation/inspiration before you start working. This rarely works!!!

The correct but counterintuitive way is to start working. After a while motivation/inspiration will come.
Sure they'll have to deal with defining that line regularly. This is far better for them than taking an extreme position in either direction.

Yeah, that graph is not something I can take seriously. It feels like they’re trying to convince me with pictures when they should be letting the product speak for itself.

In my experience, not much software is an outlier in performance like they’re claiming here. There are some standout projects that I really love and depend on (Postgres, rust, typescript, react), but even those aren’t ‘top right quadrant’ solutions. They also don’t claim to be, as far as I know
What, like relying on the CCP for our pharmaceutical, mfg. and rare earth processing? Maybe something like that?
Dude you have it backwards because the police in the US historically functioned to support slavery.

I bet you didn’t intend it to be but your argument basically blames the victim, when it’s the oppressor who is guilty of a crime - not the oppressed.

It’s the fault of the oppressor for oppressing, that is the blocker to progress, not the response of the oppressed.

The police are what need to change because they were and are a core part of the problem.

Your other points may also have relevance, but are irrelevant until the root cause - which I describe above - is addressed.

If your point was that because of America’s history of racial violence and terror, we need to defund (as opposed to reform with Peelian principles) the police since they were a key component of that system, or something along those lines, then please forgive my mis-understanding :).

Back when js frameworks became a thing, modals were a shiny ball that everyone wanted to put into their app (because they came with the framework). Designers that worked with these modals became poisoned to the fact that this is how a UI should look. Like an old hairstyle they're now thankfully going out of fashion.
This is exactly it. I know prisma developers are here, and if I could express one concern to them, it’s that the content I saw was pretty fluffy and I left without a clear idea of why it’s worth adding into my tool chain.
Most linkers support archive "groups" at the command line, so you don't need to do the topological sort. Most linkers also support relocatable objects, so you can trivially solve the symbol collision problem by just linking together a subset of your app and then stripping that symbol before linking the conflict. And like, it frankly just sounds like you have never heard of libtool, which adds most of the stuff in your edit--like dependencies and configurable linker settings--to the static link process, and which has not only existed but has been widely used among most marquee projects for over two decades. :/
One notable exception from that list is the PS3. That thing was a real bastard to write for but if you managed to vectorize things properly it did really go at a good clip.

One fun thing was optimizing for the SPUs meant that your code was really cache coherent and usually saw significant gains on all platforms. Of course most people at that time wrote for PC+360 first and entered a world of pain when PS3 came along.

If there's one lesson to take away it's always build for your most constrained platforms first. There's still a few funky architectures out there(RPi I'm looking at you[1]) so it's always worth understanding where the hardware constraints in your system can come back to cause havok.

I.e. some kind of quark-gluon plasma or other exotic state?

Those are likely great options for people and small groups that don't have other options. At the same time, I doubt you'll see many companies jumping to provide that service, at least not ones that have the experience to handle it appropriately.

Wireless internet makes for a very poor product to sell, because the service is unreliable, and often has problems exactly when people want it most (during inclement weather). Also, customers often have a problem dissassociating problems that should be expected with the service from problems with the service provider. It's probably not very gratifying to provide what is often the only option people have for high speed internet to have some subset of them that don't understand the reality, or are just too upset to care, disparage your name online. It also probably doesn't lead to securing additional contracts easily, and as soon as other connectivity does become available, your customers will leave at the earliest opportunity (there's not a lot of friction to signing up somewhere else when the service is currently down).
