>It would help address the spyware concern by moving it to a US company

it might help for some people

Personally, i'm a little bit concerned that microsoft just received a $10bn DOD contract, and now the US government is essentially forcing a sale of TikTok to Microsoft. I'm not convinced that the company running the hot new social network (as well as all our source code) owing a bunch of favours to the US govermnent is really any better than it being subject to the Chinese government.

The overall flat design was a big pain in the ass when you couldn’t tell what was clickable / editable.

The accessibility of putting the data first was awesome. Apps being tiles or a simple list of names was great. They started that with the Zune and it’s still a winning play on the Xbox. It worked great on the phone.

I know exactly the project I would like to work on: "english to 3d graphics shader". The problem is, it can be difficult to express what the shader does in the first place using plain human english. ShaderToy currently lists approx 40K+. And their human annotated descriptions can be quite creative ;)
I am not exaggerating about the US losing it credibility in China.

The US was really the shining city on the hill before 2008 financial crisis. I personally was huge admirer of the US system. I even spent about 1 year in DC just to study the political system of the US.

Before the 2008 financial crisis, China tried to copy everything from the US, from finanical market regulations to education system and to some degree, political system reform. There was a period when academics and even some very senior CCP members called for small government, separation of party and administrative system, and they even used the term 'put power into cages'.

The 2008 financial crisis that started in the US made China's elites within the party and outside of the party think hard if the US system is really the answer. Trump administration, the handling of covid-19 and the BLM protests further changed the view towards the US and made it impossible for those friendly with the US to promote the US value system in China now.

Tiktok is considered a national pride because it thrives by open competition in the US and the world. This act of forced selling without a due process for Tiktok to defend itself from accusation of spying for China would absolutely be another huge blow to the credibility of the US in China.
There's room in the world for both designs; it's not really a zero sum game (unless you consider that people designing truly split keyboards would otherwise spend their time designing angled keyboards). Split keyboards can help accommodate people with different body types from yourself. I have a Kinesis Advantage 2 and it is ever so slightly too narrow for what i'd prefer for comfort with regards to my shoulders. When a keyboard is truly split you can adjust each side to be placed where it is best for you.
That text editor seems to have been enough for Wirth to create the Pascal and Oberon languages. VI came out in 1976. Even today, lots of people use VI or some derivative of it.

So lots of comments here are suggesting that you have a medical issue, I'm not going to go that far without knowing anything about you, but that is a very high breath rate.

You may want to focus on where you are breathing in your body. I have a very slow breath rate and super slow hear-rate, so 4 seconds is painfully fast for me. I'm about 8-10 seconds in or out and a comfortable 6 or so seconds rest between breaths.

To breath quickly, I have to focus on breathing only in my upper chest. You may have been trained to do this over-time, and feel very normal doing it.

Watch a child breathing, and you'll see they breath deeply into their belly. This is the natural breathe you want to aim for.

If you've been breathing into your chest for ever, your lower lungs are likely going too be tight, and it will be very difficult for you to expand and breathe into them. But it's worth trying.

When you lie down, try relaxing and try to relax your stomach and let it rise and fall with each breath. It takes re-training your diaphragm.

Where I do agree with the other comments here is that you likely should decrease your breath rate as it is better for you, as long as there is a good reason for you to be breathing as quickly as you currently are.
Thanks, I will take a look, although I prefer to stay with relational algebra, Python and R but make them all available through an easier UX. That might be a core selling point for me.

Objective C componentization model has its own traps. And too many of them unfortunately.

In the dark depths where the anglerfish lives, it’s rare to encounter a mate. Evolving a mechanism to allow the male to latch onto the female well in advance of mating ensures the female has access to sperm when it’s ready to produce eggs. Otherwise it’d be a gamble to randomly encounter a male during the short window when mating is viable.

For the male, minimizing its size and lowering its immune system allows it to more efficiently live off the females for the long period of time until it gets to mate.
All that “bloat” enables us to do (much) more with less developer hours.

The balance is the same as ever, developer time vs. compute power. As compute power gets ever cheaper, and developer time still costs the same, we put bigger burdens on the machine to save developer time.

In other words, simple economics.

The unsolved crime rate in Mexico is over 90%.

That means, most crime goes unreported or uninvestigated. That includes the worst types of crime.
I think that's a terrible answer, sorry, and is pretty much what I mean. I somewhat agree with Taleb that wealth begets education, not the other way around. The special thing about good school districts is not the schools themselves, and the special thing about schools is not necessarily their budget: Some of the worst performing schools have the highest budgets.
I am completely baffled by this quip.

At speed of light in a vacuum, from New York to London is 19ms. That's the physical limit of what a network could ever hope to accomplish, but in reality in fiber it's apparently about 28ms.

At 60fps we need to present a new set of pixels to the screen every 16ms.

So in the time that a packet goes in one direction to Europe we could have presented almost two full frames of pixels.

Even on the rather slow old SoC in the Google Nest Home Hub platform that I work on, we're able to do quite a bit of pixel crunching in that 16ms. Even with code written in JavaScript, or Dart. Enough to make our users mostly happy.

John Carmack is much smarter than me, so I can't believe he meant this literally, or it's been taken out of context.

The network is definitely a bottleneck.

So even if LEO is more expensive, which it will not be, the expense will be covered by large financial firms.

Also companies like AWS pay a lot of money for bandwidth between their datacenters. Once Amazon's satellites are up and running, AWS will continue to need government permissions to build new datacenters (including ground stations) but will not need to interact with any other company for bandwidth. Improving AWS' profit margin for existing datacenters.

Finally, today AWS cannot build a datacenter in low cost areas because they need great internet connectivity. However, a LEO constellation enables them to build in significantly cheaper locations (think about the land/construction costs in Moldova vs Germany i.e. 6x reduction[2]).

These alone are huge benefits that outweigh the costs, but adding general purpose internet traffic will only improve cost effectiveness.

Why would I download a text editor every time I wanted to use it? Even VS Code is stored locally, ready to be used off-line. But let's not pick an Electron app for _everything_ we want to do: last time I checked, Notepad++ does all of what I listed, and more.

> memory requirements

Yes, this can be a problem and is a sure sign of bloat. Meanwhile, I think we're bad at picking our software: why do we just sit back and accept stuff like this? I've got 8 gigs of RAM in my dirt cheap home laptop and I can run Gimp, GNumeric, Firefox and watch a movie at the same time just fine, with plenty of RAM left to spare. For professional use, requirements are and have always been higher: hence the $15k workstations of yesteryear.

I think we're doing a bad job at promoting that the use of native software would likely have the outcome of higher productivity and lower hardware costs, because that would probably mean we're putting our own cushy web coding jobs on the line, too.

There are still some hard limits we have to take into account. Even if I for some reason did have to work with both programming and Photoshop on a 3 hour plane ride (I luckily do not), I don't think the answer to my problems would be to switch to "ed".
True, but I think this case opens up doors on regulation of tech companies for security, or at least new laws for security negligence. The power that Twitter has due to its highest-profile users is immense, however, this hack made them look incredibly stupid.
> So the reporter asked for a guess, Dr Fauci threw a number at the air

Entire countries economies and planning involving whole populations like lockdowns and hospital equipment needed rely on knowing when a vaccine will be ready

The fact Fauci shouldn't know when a vaccine would be available and would have to guess on the fly means I have not understood his position correctly. I take back what I said.

To a non guessed timeline, getting a vaccine quickly normally takes 10 years, that's short.

So a best super case timeline for C19 would be critical staff June 2021, the general population at best would be mid 2022, but very very easily there could be never a vaccine even for critical staff.

I don't know who you want linked in these partisan times but John Hopkins put out a press release saying limited release might start end of 2021 and that's going to be really hard to deliver - https://wjla.com/news/health/researchers-warn-coronavirus-va...

(Random fact, the vaccine I just started as a guinea pig for is under a 400 day trail, even in the very unlikely fact it works and things are done in parallel, that's 400 days)
I wonder whether this will lead to some sort of passport system, where people traveling to Europe force Facebook to transfer account data from one continent to another, but without being allowed to link account activities across continents.

They are both basically retired so there's not much to wedge about.
This tends not to be why luxury models are unreliable in practice.

Luxury models are used by the manufacturer as a proving ground for the tech they're going to filter down to the mass market models next. Luxury model customers are relatively price-insensitive but want to be able to show off shiny features, so they get the exclusive new tech that's not been tried at scale yet. Thus the unreliability. It's not the technical constraints, it's the maturity of the technology.
LOL ok. I guess resource scarcity is not the primary driver of the lack of COBOL resources (what else could it be?).

Software speed is a usability feature, and usability is a subset of economic value.

It turns out, people are perfectly happy to put up with slightly slower software for all of the other benefits we get from modern software: rapid development, rapid deployability, ease of code comprehension, and more.

When users complain about slow software enough to buy a different product (in whatever variation of 'buy' that may be) then it becomes a high priority thing to fix. Software today is precisely as fast as it needs to be- and no more, typically.

To me, this article is just the software engineer's version of Grandpa complaining that things were better in the old days- he's ignoring the reasons why things changed.
UNCLOS is problematic when it comes to islands, disputes are usually solved on 1-1 agreements between countries or not solved like South China Sea. Google "Kastellorizo", a small island between Rhodes and Cyprus. Greece claims EZ on almost all the waters between Cyprus and Rhodes because of these 3 small islands.

Cyprus should not have been admitted to EU before accepting the Annan plan, unfortunately they were and now the last generation of Cypriot Turks and Greeks are getting old a solution is still far away..

Countries have no problem recognizing "British Overseas Territories" scattered around the world, conveniently 2 large town sized military bases in Cyprus, but when it comes to a less powerful country like Turkey using military power, this is reason for international isolation. Erdogan is taking it way too far now but it's been like this before him too. It's ruthless out there.
Even setting up your trades in advance, there's no way you're going to make a billion dollars doing that kind of thing without being noticed. Millions, maybe (although maybe not), but certainly not hundreds of millions. Unless you already have hundreds of millions to work with, but then you're probably not a 17-year-old hacker.

Best case he'd probably have a few tens of thousands in capital, and he gets one shot at it. In order to get the kind of leverage needed, he'd need to use short term options and/or move penny stocks. Either one of those would paint a giant target on him.
This reminds of the Spotify thread where posters were desperately failing to comprehend what it means for a musician to be an artist.

I don't think that developer time is the only metric here.

Yes, every project can get to market or to the next release with a startup company's speed, but you trade-off and generally get "startup quality" that way. That is the actual point.

This industry is so fast-moving that the costs associated with that level of quality is often paid later by other people. There are plenty of examples of this.
But I don't think these are a reasonable conditions.

So we can see. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be in the interests of owners of Apple devices, or that Apple shouldn't be prevented from exploiting its dominant position to restrict the market to the detriment of those owners.

I wonder whether you'd be OK with an electricity supplier saying you're only allowed to plug in equipment they have approved and they can change the rules or revoke approvals any time they like. If you don't like it, you can go to the other electricity supplier, who will give you their list of acceptable equipment instead. If you want to use equipment from both lists, don't worry, just buy two houses. And of course no-one makes any equipment that isn't on either list, because there is no possibility you'd ever want to power anything that wasn't approved by at least one electricity supplier.

Or you can buy Car A that goes only to one set of locations, or Car B that goes only to another set. Other locations might be happy to welcome you, but even if they build the roads to reach them, your car will artificially prevent you from driving that way.

That text editor quote really bugs me. Sure my Atari 800 had a word processor that came on a 8k cartridge. I couldn't type Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic into. I could only type ASCII. Just the ability to do that alone would likely entail many many megabytes of code.

For one, there is no text based system like those old machines that handles all that so I have to switch to graphics. Just the font alone for all of those languages will be multi-mega bytes and I'll need multi-megabytes more for space to rasterize some portion of those fonts. Rasterising just 4 or 5 glyphs is more work than that entire 8k word processor had to do on its 40x24 text screen.

Then for each language I'll need multi-megabytes for handling the input methods. The input methods are complex and will likely need a windowing system to display their various options and UX so add more code for that.

The point being that we need the complexity. That 8k editor wasn't useful in the same sense as our stuff today. I don't know a good analogy. It's like complaining that people use CNC machines today and at one point got by with a hammer and chisel. I'm not going back.
Good one. I will always remember the name of the then US first lady. Laura Bush. Laura in my native language means Penis.
> I have not observed anyone talking to their phones since these were a novelty.

Note that people are much more likely to talk to their phone in private than in public. It’s rude/weird to talk to one with people around. I use mine at home or when away from people.

I use mine for the following:

* turn on/off the lights
* play some music
* what’s the weather
* call people
* add X to my grocery list
* start a timer
* occasionally, open an app. Usually on apple watch where this is faster
* Remind me tomorrow to do X
* Get me directions home
* Show me pictures of X
* Start/stop time tracking timers

The common thing is they’re all simple functions, quick to say, and faster by voice than going 3-4 steps into a UI and typing stuff out.

This is on iPhone. I imagine all of the above use cases work well on android, and I think others would be effective too, as google assistant is reputed to be more powerful.

Note that siri used to be garbage at understanding me. After using it a while it seems much better. Either she learned or I learned to speak differently.
