Yep, seems like the big expectation here is to retain jobs and keep a competitive market in Australian domestic travel. Doesn’t seem likely anymore, which is a shame, because I always liked flying Virgin over the cattle-mustering experience that was flying Jetstar.

If the compiler and the build system is so coupled, I am now stuck with that build system.

Specifically compiling frontend code with a generic build tool like bazel is a torture, because the entire javascript ecosystem consists of giant monolith everything-in-a-box toolkits like webpack.
I'm surprised that it's such a powerful and game changing tool and yet none of the devs at Apple use it at any capacity. As from the things I read/saw, devs are using the new versions of OS before even the betas get released to test run them.
The usual private equity playbook is to strip assets, load up the company with debt, and let it plummet into the ground, which is why Bain has both the name and reputation of a Batman supervillain.

However, Virgin Australia already has on the order of 6 billion in debt and virtually no assets (pretty much their entire fleet is leased). It'll be interesting to see how Bain plan to extract their pound of flesh here, when pretty much the only feasible strategy is to build a viable competitor to Qantas.
I'd look at the comparison more like: a gear is a component (eg, cpu). If it breaks, it breaks and is not expected to be repairable, but that component should be replaceable; you shouldn't have to throw away the whole watch just because one gear broke.
There’s a very deep lesson in Dwarf Forts motto of loosing is fun.

I’ve struggled to embrace it because my habit is defensive safe playing. In other words “succeeding”- beating your enemies without suffering a loss or misfortune and never having to deal with jank.

My second fort blew up to a yellow “i” which I had no clue was a fire imp (2d DF era volcano embark.)

But I got lucky and found the ascii explosion of ascii booze barrels fascinating.

Embracing that pain makes all the stories of DF interesting. This does include just letting things blow up because you didn’t get the interface and just enjoying the situation you are in.

To a large extent, the new tutorials and helpful community have eroded that ideal, the long learning curve have you a crucial part of the DF experience - loosing is fun.

I have never been able to fully capture the point or explain how fundamental it is to appreciating the game and how it changes your enjoyment of things.
There's not much more it can be hollowed out. If it's not to continue as an operating airline, the only assets to be sold for "scrap" are the aircraft (they own about half their fleet), and there's not much demand for them right now, or for the foreseeable future.

But its brand, network and operating infrastructure have substantial value, so they'll get a much better return if they can get it operational and profitable again.

Historically speaking, when the world was small towns and rural, “surveillance” was a fact of life. Everyone knew someone who knew someone else.

The big difference is that surveillance was localized and didn’t follow the person.

If someone did a crime or did something against local mores and got ostracized they could skip town and settle somewhere else to begin anew. Now, of course being the new person in a new place you were under scrutiny, but as long as you followed local practices your old peccadilloes or even crimes didn’t follow you.
This is exactly how websites should be. It loads astonishingly fast, page after page, and there is nothing between me and the information.

Fair enough, but some of the worst offenders of this aren't really targeted at children or something they'd be interested in. The new Github UI (which I adore, besides this particular issue) is a really bad offender for example. If you go to your profile page, there's not a single not-round border. The exception are the little squares showing activity, which makes it even worse because in the caption underneath they are rounded. What happened there?

The issue is Amazon doesn't know. All they have to go on is whatever UPC/SKU you enter to tell them which bin to put something in and that's it. That is the extent of their inventory management. This is why you should not utilize FBA if your major concern is people actually getting the product you are selling.
Including ThinkPads with Wacom tablet screens.

But then how would the 'disadvantaged folks' get locked into the closed-off and pricey Apple ecosystem?
This comment spawned a whole thread that completely fails to acknowledge that there are successful no-code and low code platforms. In fact, Honeycode isn't novel, it's just Amazon's response to Microsoft PowerApps.

Surely, building apps with such accelerators is limited. You're trading customization power for speed to market, and you get a lower barrier to entry which enables business focused people to build stuff they need.

Those apps aren't for everyone and I don't think any enterprise will be able to live with just these platforms, but enabling users to live without IT has a lot of value.

2004 is a long time ago. I don't remember threading discussed any place when I started learning game development on a hobby and university level at that time. Probably because multiple cores wasn't a thing, so threading mostly would add complexity and cost performance. Core 2 was released in 2006 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2

IIRC all places I did learn from did tell to throw everything into the game loop and remember to use delta since last frame in all calculations
Well, I assume they err on the side of caution "too much". Sensible guidelines would be for self-driving cars to be approved by regulatory guidelines when they cause less accidents (and less severe at that) on average. But currently a single accident could cost a company its license to test on public roads, and that is basically a death sentence.

Just recently read this nice comment about whether vim makes you faster.

> I only care about reducing friction, and Vim's editing language is very good at that.

From https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/hg37kq/question_how_mu...

So Karabiner to me is in the same category. It removes literally all frictions I have in interfacing with my computer. I can activate ANY app I use on my mac in less than 1 second (two key taps). On iPad that would require multiple gestures unless the apps were not recently used.

Have you used Karabiner hyper keys?

You might misunderstand just how powerful it is. For example I have all keys on my keyboard be custom hyper keys. That means I have around 30 modifier keys with 30+ keys mapped to each modifier with access of < 1 second away from me.

And it's not just Karabiner that iPad lacks. Alfred, Keyboard Maestro are two other essential tools. I am trying to bring one to iOS so hope that part will be solved.

Here is my config, it might bring more light to what I mean: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/karab...

Not really.

It's an office, not an isolation chamber. You have to work together.

That may be a frustrating concept for some -- from your comment it appears you only care about your work, you don't care if others' work is completed or the larger corporate objectives are met -- but that's why teamwork is so important.

Yes, it would be great if everyone could just singlestream on their own tasks but that's not how companies work. I'm sorry you find helping your coworkers to be such a frustration and distraction from your own personal achievements.
Update is bound to the framerate. And if you have a faster PC or a higher refresh rate you can perform more logic. So why limit yourself by a fixed timestep? But well, nothing prevents you from doing game logic in FixedUpdate and maybe it could even be beneficial. For example, you don't want your AI to run each frame.

But in my opinion Update should still be the place most of your logic resides. Even in the case where you don't want logic to run each frame, simply keep track of the time passed and run your logic in self defined intervals from inside Update.

Update is the place you handle your input and you can affect the next displayed frame immediately. The last part is really important, because you don't want the player to wait for the next physic step after he pressed a button (but unfortunately many games do).

I think a large part of this problem comes from the fact, that the Update/FixedUpdate logic of most game engines is very static. In many cases you can't really influence its behavior. Unity allows you to invoke the FixedUpdate cycle manually from inside Update, but it can lead to other problems.

I guess you've already forgotten how long Docker took to work decently under Windows.

Pretty much all those magic CI/CD tools you are effectively forced to use, are written on (and for) Linux first. Linux/Mac/BSD users get first pickings and can always choose to ignore this or that tool if they feel like it. You don't.
That's clearly untrue. The ultra-permissive 'copycenter' licences used by projects like FreeBSD, are very similar to releasing into the public domain (i.e. waiving copyrights).

There'd be no copyleft (GPL etc) without copyright, sure.
It is implied that at least in theory, the promise is to use them with the similar total complexity (like numberr of parameters and amount of required calculation), in which case yes we do want the most general data structure possible. If we can have a more general data structure that provides similar performance characteristics, it is easier to apply, to debug, to understand, and it likely means that we have found something more fundamental about the underlying world in general.

Cutting edge stuff is always expensive. There was a time when clothing, sugar, and bread were expensive, high tech.

Personal and sales websites are cheap now. Blogs are cheap. Web infrastructure is cheap.

Social media is basically an information superhighway. Compared to actual highways they take more traffic and cost much less. Many other apps are replacing middle men; Uber is quite cheap for something that is replacing the whole taxi industry.

Sounds like it works for you.

> That means I have around 30 modifier keys with 30+ keys mapped to each

But to me that sounds like my worst nightmare. I really hate having to learn keyboard shortcuts. I'd much rather use touch and gestures and things. I don't really need to switch apps in less than one second - that's not the bottleneck in my workflow - usually thinking is.

Having a config like yours would make me despair. I don't like to configure anything - I just use the defaults and get on with my work.

> And it's not just Karabiner that iPad lacks. Alfred, Keyboard Maestro are two other essential tools.

They are demonstrably not essential, since people can get things done without them.
Macbooks don't have cellular modems. iPads have had them for a long time since they are derived from the mobile iOS. Not that anyone should really even care about this - phone tethering works perfectly fine for almost anyone unless you are too lazy to connect to your phone's wifi.

I see what you mean. My point is more to the fact that none of the Apple devs seem to have woken up to how useful it is to remap the keyboard to a high degree.

I might be wrong of course and there are Apple devs for whom moving to a new OS and losing Karabiner will be an ok loss.
Eh, bitcoin isn't really "great" currency. It has some pretty poor properties as currency. Now I understand it's better than nothing. You want currency to slowly lose value. If it goes up in value, than it make no sense to exchange it for goods and services, which is the whole point. Wild fluctuations in price also cause massive headaches.

While some people will never be able to handle VR, the choice of equipment can have a massive impact on the comfort of the user. One of the worries repeatedly expressed by people on subreddits such a /r/vive|valveindex is that companies releasing cheaper, less capable headsets "poisons the well" by convincing people that VR just doesn't work well, or makes them sick etc. Believe it or not, some people claimed VR was dead in the water and a gimmick after trying the Google cardboard.

In the case of the Quest, it has several issues:

1. Hand tracking - using cameras on the headset means it's easy to occlude your hands leading to un-tracked areas

2. Compute Power - You need a really powerful GPU to get the most out of even relatively complex scenes. I have a GTX 1080ti and will probably upgrade to a 3080ti when these are released later this year. It's not overkill. The Quest was at first standalone. Unless you're strapping a large power supply and a GPU to your head you're not getting the power you really need.

2. It operates at 72 Hz - Research that companies like Valve have done (they've been working on this stuff a lot) has shown that refresh rates are a huge component in the sense of realism felt, and importantly sickness. The Oculus DK2 was 75Hz (ISTR). The Vive was 90Hz because it turns out people het less sick at 90. The Index is 120Hz with an experimental 144Hz mode, because the higher you push it the less people get sick, and at the very high resolutions people feel more "attachment" to the scenes they see. 72Hz is woeful.

3. Head tracking - The inside-out tracking method the Quest uses is (anecdotally, from user reports over time on reddit) inferior to the lighthouse style outside-in tracking of the Index. Knowing where your head is is very important to not making people feel ill, so better tracking here is critical.

Points 2-3 there are critical for your comfort, and the Quest just doesn't do VR justice. Sure, some people handle it fine, and the "real" equipment (and Index and a PC powerful enough to drive it) are substantially more expensive, but it would be unfair to bucket all VR after an experience with only the Quest.
The author didn't specify whether the donated iPads had LTE connectivity but did say that they very much enjoyed LTE on theirs. This is an edge for the iPad I think? Not sure how the cell plans would be worked out but having an always on, semi reliable connection could be a big positive here.

Man, I've been struggling to integrate my iPad Pro into the rest of my life since I bought it in 2016. I've given up. There were too many things I still needed my Thinkpad with Linux for and it was impossible to properly integrate the iPad into my existing workflows to use practically as a supplemental device. I've bought a Galaxy Tab instead, because Android at least gives me the freedom to (for example) sync folders between the devices without any input from me.

It's particularly frustrating because I love the iPad. Like, it's one of the few devices I really, really, really enjoy in so many ways and I just wish it was better than it actually is. It's maybe the only device I own that I really do love. The Tab is a poor substitute and I really hate using it, but at least it fits with the rest of my tools in a sane way and gives me the freedom to customize it according to my needs.

Also, Notion. Another tool that I love the idea of, but hate the implementation. There are too many restrictions on the data model that make it frustratingly unlike any normal relational database and frustrating to use, and makes me wish somebody would just make a lightweight relational database with a friendly, practical wiki-like UI for building a knowledge base.
