> into YAML

Please reconsider this technical choice. YAML is a not only quite hard to edit manually, it's also difficult to transform automatically. I'm working in the dictionary space and the field is mostly using XML. While there is no standardized set of tags (I know of a PhD working on it), this is the format people are confortable with in the field, and is very easy to transform into any other formats including YAML.

Moreover I agree that the source material is clear enough, and most of it is English, making OCR an obvious go-to in this situation.
It was a recurring problem in the Rails world because the reaction from DHH was to tell people the preloaders were "evil" instead of telling people to follow the HTTP specification.

> There's nothing preventing a newspaper charging 10$ once to pre-pay your account and each visit debits the equivalent of their ad earnings for that page view.

Sure there is, they'd lose enormous money that way. Because the small segment of users that would pay for the average page view are a large portion of the users most valuable to advertisers.

If they charged high enough to make up for the loss of the demographic willing to pay the price, it would be an even smaller group paying very high prices. And even higher prices once you charged extra to recover the costs of developing and maintaining the separate payment and customer support system and service for that small customer base.

Lots of people that are in demographics more valuable than average see stats about the average a site makes per view (or per MAU, or whatever) and says “I'd be willing to pay more than that.”

What they don't realize is that they are worth more than that as advertising targets, and the people that bring the average down to what it is aren't willing to pay the average.
Please pardon this drive-by assessment of JS calendar libraries by a casual user.

moment.js: Mutable. Thank you, next.

Luxon: Takes the effort to implement `Interval`, which would be `Range<DateTime>` in any proper language, but somehow avoids providing separate `Date` and `Time` objects.

Day.js: When you kinda like moment.js, but your bundler says it's too fat.

date-fns: The finest of pure, curry-able functions over the minefield that is Javascript's `Date` object.

js-joda: If Javascript didn't have classes already, this project would probably port the entire Java runtime to JS just to replicate them. Likely the most correct handling of date/time stuff available for the browser, but damn, at what cost?

------------

Edit: this turned out way too negative, my bad. All I wanted was a library that offered:

0) Type definitions.

1) Immutable classes of `Date` (year, month, day), `Time` (hour, minute, etc), `DateTime` (the prior two combined), `Instant` (for a certain moment on the global timeline), and `Duration`.

1b) `DateTime` should probably be split into two separate things, one of which is aware of time zones.

2) All the obvious date arithmetic functions - duration between dates, adding/subtracting durations, etc etc.

Thanks for asking, I wanted to ask exactly the same question.
On the one hand, German public news stations basically imply that Trump is an idiot who denies climate change and climate change is the main reason for the fires. On the other hand, I read a lot of reports that this year's fires were much smaller than those 100 years ago and fires are mostly a natural thing that is just more or less controlled by humans, and climate change is just a small factor.
It looks like even here it is impossible to get unbiased information on the US.

Cooling underwater does not produce additional carbon. Cooling in normal data centers, produces a lot of carbon (in case they are using solar panels, production of those panels generates short term carbon).

>It’s an old idea that keeps resurfacing and frankly I think it misses the real problem of modern websites: they’re too bloated with code that the user is expected to run and yet isn’t there to serve the user.

I can't find it now, but I thought there was an article recently that looked at page rendering times and how they have changed over the years (as bandwidth has also increased). In general, page rendering time hasn't decreased as much over the last few decades as you would expect, and a part of that is the amount of js (often for tracking - not to serve the user) that is pervasive nowadays.

Okay let’s look at this from a slightly different POV. We have two different things here, ARM CPU design licenses and ARM ISA licenses. If I was an ARM cpu maker I think it would be best to setup something to design better shared ARM CPU designs, the problem of course is building an amazing team and patents which could prove extremely expensive to solve.

Is it possible/legal for nvidia to charge a billion dollars per cpu for the isa license or are these things perpetual?

>"Look, that deadline is HARD. If you don't figure out how to do something useful by it, the whole GROUP, including me and you, are fired. So, are you gonna figure something out or should I fire you now and get someone else?"

The only sane reply is: "You can't fire me, I quit". First of all, this working env is toxic. I don't need this kind of stress and I can freely quit because I have life savings, like any other sane person. Second, now that deadline becomes impossible without me, not merely hard, good luck to the rest of the team. Third, I might not quit if you apologise right now.

But then again, I'm in Europe, where we have more rights than the Americans. YMMV.

I feel like you've misunderstood this.

If you don't have symptoms but are asking for testing then you're asking for screening. We have strict criteria for screening because it has potential to cause harm.

The Facebook boycott was complete hypocrisy. It was framed as being in support of BLM & similar movements despite:

1) The companies involved in the boycott were often the ones with a terrible track record regarding their own treatment of minorities, so it was absolute bullshit virtue-signaling.

2) We were in the middle of a pandemic where the economy essentially shut down so it made total sense to pause advertising for the time being. This was purely a financial decision, framed as some kind of social impact action by some terrible & disgusting companies.

Of course, as soon as the market started recovering and they saw a need to advertise again they were back in full force as if nothing happened.

I strongly disagree, if that is the definition for a global issue. Then basically every issue is a global issue. It just doesn't make sense. If you claim white supremacy is an issue today because of history, well then so is black supremacy, asian supremacy etc. Should we still claim the Djingis Khan to be an issue today since a lot of us are descendants?

At some point, you pass the line and you become ridicolous. I think you and a lot of others have crossed that line. I feel so disconnected from your views and the people who write BLM-banners like those on nodejs.org that we could live on different planets. It is hard to even have a rational conversation because of this and for what? It has nothing to do with tech or javascript development. It's inherently stupid.

There is a big problem in knowing when to measure and what to measure. For example, today my work looks to have similar value to the work of my dog Mr. Biscuits, yet I cost 10x. However, move to tomorrow and it turns out that Mr. Biscuits' code has locked up the cluster and Q3 results are gone. Suddenly I look cheap (I am cheap, but that's a different thing).

Also there is zero agreement on what is good; maintainability, robustness, ease of use -> all subjective at the minute.

The note about the Piraha language not having embedding is incredibly interesting. Example taken from Wikipedia:

>Everett stated that Pirahã cannot say "John's brother's house" but must say, "John has a brother. This brother has a house." in two separate sentences.

Compounding this on the apparent lack of numbers/counting, expressing higher order concepts seems like it'd be borderline impossible in the language as-is. I wonder if many other languages started out "simple" like this, and developed grammatical complexity alongside their society?

Of course, the issue here could just be a lack of understanding and insufficient ability to ask questions to native speakers by people researching it. It only has 250 speakers and picking it up as a second language with zero resources leaves plenty of room for error. More recent research suggests it might be possible, but no non-native speakers are really sure.

I think the most concrete argument in support of your position is that typical high-performance audio processing doesn't take an external specialized supercomputer-for-your-computer with 12.3 gazillion parallel cores, a Brazil-like network of shiny ducts hotter than a boiler-room pipe and a memory bus with more bits than an Atari Jaguar ad.
In general in the Balkans there are cable ISPs (biggest one owned by United Group for example) that give out CGNAT IP addresses to all residential cable users. You can buy a static IP address for a 5€/mo, but it's a painful procedure with bureaucracy for some reason.

On mobile networks, you are assigned a CGNAT IP address per cell base station per device, and they are then all mixed into a few public IPs. There are no ports open, and they cannot be opened, becase it is not possible to assign ports to a mobile device and have the user know which ports to use.

Because hundreds or more users share a single IP address, you'd have to randomly assign them ports and keep track of devices entering and leaving the service area to delete the port mappings, which is not economical.

Ironically, one mobile carrier - Telenor, has a "feature" where on 3G only with a certain APN they assign you a public IPv4 address to your mobile broadband interface. The only catch is that it is reachable from Telenor's network only, except on ports >10000.

Ultimately I think what this author is describing is actually more of a tale of one employer‘s crummy management style.

Interesting niche content like the author writes is exploding. In contrast, it sounds to me like this particular outlet is missing out on the opportunity to provide niche and offbeat content by bean counting.

In other words, I’d hesitate
to assume that all digital media outlets are blindly chasing “engagement” without making any other considerations. I would think that big legacy media companies are easily led off a cliff by “doing what everyone else is doing.”

We are in the infancy of digital media, as much as it seems like it’s been around for a long time at this point. Many outlets, especially traditional ones, are ultimately still doing “the wrong things” that digital media firms in 2050 will look back on as being primitive and crude.

One last point: while the “flip through the pages of the paper and discover odd topics on art and culture” is dead, that doesn’t mean the interest and readership is dead. What’s dead is the idea that institutions like The Times or The Globe have any relevance in acting as aggregators of that content.

Soviet computers are an interesting historical riff on this.

But I think this would be impossible to cut the cord completely, because a computer is basically a communication system (internally and networked) and by Conway's law groups zero in on comms systems that reflect their own dynamics, so as a civilizations we've built devices and networks that have zeroed in on our own internal dynamics. Therefore as a member of this civilization, you could not create something different. You'd need to go hang with some folks completely different until you absorbed that, then make it to reflect their dynamics. Uncontacted Amazon tribes? Dolphins? Elephants? Plants?
