That's not true, he was board certified by an existing board, but created his own (never accepted by anyone that matters, apparently) board to fleece other doctors, or, nominally, at least the first time, to protest the board he was certified by. He then let it lapse by failing to file paperwork, reformed it years later, and let it lapse again.
Repeat after me: correlation is not causation.
Many years ago we used to run loadlin under dos to load linux and dosemu under linux to run dos. And by many I mean before Windows 95. And ofcourse if you wanted the worst of both worlds there was cygwin.
This article is about the power structures in 1951. That's history, not current affairs.
An exec worth millions/year in tech needs decent compensation to take the career risk of steering a declining company.
Just in case, some form of AI (AI is just a buzzword for a complex algorithm) already identifies and shots targets. For example, Iron Dome is fully autonomous (human operator is not capable of reacting quickly).

Although I’m not aware of autonomous systems which shoots something with people onboard. But I disagree the characterization of these systems as “top of the food chain”. This naming would provide food for philosophers, but practically this definition is useless.
I really want Mozilla to succeed. But I just can't bring myself to use Firefox as a daily driver. Just open a few tabs on a top of the line macbook, and a twitch stream and things get very laggy.

I've seen numerous people craving for better container support, which is definitely a killer feature for people going forward towards a more private web. Why isn't Mozilla more actively developing this? Developers were the primary driver behind adopting Firefox during it's hayday - no reason why it can't be again if we have the resources to make a compelling case for it.
I finally gave up on Firefox when I noticed a few websites just wouldn’t work when using it compared to Chromium.

I think the writing is on the wall.

The article notes the increase in pay and states

> Mitchell Baker, Mozilla's top executive, was paid $2.4m in 2018

but doesn't offer any consideration or speculation as to why this is exaggerated. It's entirely possible that without that particular exec, Firefox would have been even worse off, or would have taken another direction with regards to privacy, etc.

My subjective feeling is that $2.4m does indeed seem too high for such a position. But I have no objective data to support or refute this. It's quite possible that the same person managing a comparable employee base at a FAANG would earn even more.
I'm 100% a programmer and google knows it. Mine is kill all processes by name.
> this second generation chipset addressed more memory, making the computer effectively slower

ECS could address more chipmem but wasn't slower than OCS. You couldn't add fastmem in the trapdoor port, but that didn't matter much since those expansions weren't good enough to impact the speed (trapdoor fastmem was usually called slowfast). The problem was rather one of incompatiblity: some programs written in the 512+512 kbyte era simply assumed they could allocate fastmem, which typically wasn't available on the 500+ and 600.

> After ECS came AGA, which pushed the boundary further again (but, at this point, memory constraints were not so terrible).

AGA, like ECS, could address 2 megs of chipmem. However, it had higher bandwidth and was much faster than ECS.

My point is that even though the ST/e was, as you say, a simpler design in many aspects, Atari still had to equip the Falcon with a YM chip and put support for planar 15 kHz video in VIDEL to maintain backwards compatibility. They faced the same problem as Commodore: their machines were mainly home computers used for games and other software that banged the metal and people expected this to work when upgrading. They also shared a lot of the same problems when upgrading the architecture even slightly, such as with the A3000 and TT030: programs that didn't work with newer versions of TOS/DOS and programs that didn't work with 020/030.

Both platforms are expandable with things like RTG graphics cards, sound cards, CPU cards etc. (in fact I'd argue the Amiga architecture with Zorro, video slots and CPU daughterboards was designed to be vastly more expandable than the Atari) but for most users that didn't matter: if the games they wanted to play didn't work, what point was a 24-bit display that cost more than the computer itself?

Besides, even without keeping backwards compatibility, rolling your own silicon was no longer a viable option financially. Tramiel's vertical integration was a good idea in the 1980:s but the hardware market had shifted. Commodore could've made a triple-A machine but it still wouldn't have been competitive, neither in price nor in performance. The niche markets utilizing the unique features of Atari (MIDI) and Amiga (DTV) weren't large enough and a new architecture that would deprecate all or most existing software (and many peripherals) used by hobbyists would probably only serve to push the home user base towards the PC anyway.
I said "dominate" not "absolute control." I mean you're talking 14 candidates between 5 parties, with 9 from Green (5 between 4). By "dominate" I mean that the 2 parties (Coalition + Labor) control ~82%. Even America isn't 100% controlled by Dems + Repubs, but it is the proportion that is the problem. Really, that the parties are not representative and there is a lack of mechanism for a ore representative party to start and gain power. I'd argue that the same is true for Australia in that respect.

I should also point out that I mentioned a specific advantage.
In this case it probably is though. They have done everything else than focus on the core product since he left and they continue that trend today even if it's failing one.
I have been a heavy sublime text user. Really love the product it’s fast and responsive compared to VSCode as vscode gets slow when handling alot of files and searching through them.
Kudos to Sublime Text Team for making awesome product with never ending trial.
Really well researched and written. Kudos!.
Are you trying to create a strawman? How do you learn characters without their pronunciation? There is nothing else to learn other than that. If you know the "alphabet" equivalent then you can pronunciate words written in that alphabet. Nothing more. Nothing less.

There is one exception which is Japanese where many characters merely have a meaning associated to them which need to be combined to form words. Sure, you do have to blindly memorize that but often the kanji on its own doesn't have one pronunciation, it has many and therefore it doesn't make sense to memorize all of them. Instead you just have to associate the pronunciation of the entire word with a given combination of Japanese characters.
There are many very likely scenarios making this planet unhabitable: asteroid, black hole coming near solar system and moving planet distances, gamma ray burst, any deviation in sun's radiation. All these are clearly possible and likely to happen in the long run.

Off topic: how is one supposed to search for "/e/"? Is there some alternative spelling?

On topic: I like that /e/ foundation is selling new and refurbished phones with the OS installed. It (hopefully) gives them some income and it helps get this OS in hands of users who would rather not tempt the goddess of bricks.
Was TUPE transferred 4 years ago. Happy to answer any questions.
I've never heard of Robert A. Glover but the book sounds very interesting. Man, the GoodReads reviews are getting destroyed.
IMHO, the main stopper for vim/emacs to go mainstream is lack of packages for preconfigured flavors of vim. E.g. `dnf install vim-perl -y ; vip myprogram.pl` or `dnf install vim-c -y; vic myprogram.c` .
> Gore to lose to Bush because too many of them entered Gore as their first choice; that can actually happen with RCV

How does this happen?

The only scenario I can see where this happens is if Nader received more votes than Gore, and those Gore voters didn't put Nader second. But then the problem isn't too many voters putting Gore as their first choice, it's too few!
Since I develop at work in a local VM with limited resources, I use Neovim + Coc that I found lighter than VSCode for NodeJs Js/TS, Python, Golang development.
I can be very efficient in Neovim with a bunch of plugins fzf + coc + NerdTree. For editing VI is very powerful with Macros, global + normal commands, etc.

I use VScode for typescript web development, for instance for CSS editing I like having the color displayed next to the CSS value.

For Java I still largely prefer IntelliJ especially with Maven multi modules projects.
That's true, but that's Jetbrains core product. They sell it as Python IDE, batteries included, and they develop it with that intent.

VSCode does not get that kind of love, it is marketed differently and has different core values.
You ever tried reading a whole thing - a comment, an article - instead of focusing on just the bits you like or agree with?
Alternative: move the HQ and most development to Europe, where these ridiculous salaries are not common (see the example in the article of The Guardian boss), but there is still a strong privacy culture.
Out of curiosity, do you feel like it was the never saying no that was the biggest problem, or was it the things that stemmed from never saying no?

For me, there were a whole host of things that came with being uncomfortable saying no, such as: building resentment resulting from doing something I didn’t really want to, passive aggressiveness, avoidance of conflict, disappointment when people still weren’t pleased after doing what they asked/shifting goalposts, feelings of being and/or actually being taken advantage of, etc.

Pretty much all of the related issues above caused issues in relationships and anxiety, among other health issues.
There's a quote from the CEO saying that they looked at the market and felt like they were being underpaid.

And they can't reduce their salary now because it'd be unfair on their families.

Firefox has a problem. It gets most of its revenue from Google.
They need a different revenue stream but their ideas haven't worked.

Their executives are clearly failures.
But with such high pay, they're cashing out. Buying themselves mansions etc.

Isn't that pretty much admitting that they're on a sinking ship?
I like to phrase it as acknowledged technical debt. And I think about it like this: when you buy a house, you don't use cash. You borrow. Debt is good as long as you pay it off, and don't get smothered in accumulated interest. Similarly, when you're starting to prototype a complex system with limited time and people resources, it's better to put in working kludges than to attempt a "really good job" on every single component. It's like "perfect is the enemy of good", but crappier. More like "good is the enemy of meh-it'll-do".

The difference between a rough prototype and a minefield is that with the former, you record technical debt in the ledger You regularly pay it off, and watch out for interest (kludges on top of kludges, bad architectural decisions because of forced workarounds, or actual financial cost due to inefficiencies).
Yep I think you are right. It does seem to be when VScode tries to auto activate it. This github issue had a solution in the form of adding an empty string for a particular option in settings.json [0]. This fixed it for my mac install. I can't remember what I did on windows to fix it.

There is probably a third variable that explains both physical fitness and wealth: education or discipline for instance.

Of course, it is more than one variable. Reality tends to be multidimensional.
Software failures can, and do, cost lives. If you believe the worst thing that can happen as a software engineer is that you might lose a company some money then you are very, very wrong.
> With modern weapons if the network is interrupted the pilot is just as useless.

This seems like a gross underestimation of what a pilot brings to the table; if it were true, the F-35 wouldn't have a gatling gun. Missions like close air support for ground troops are just as important to a modern battlefield as taking down enemy emplacements with a missile.
Personally I think these kinds of bundles should be blocked by anti-trust action. They make it too difficult for smaller more innovative companies to compete in a meaningful way.

Joe Rogan is already in the middle. There are plenty of arguments and introspections where he strives to get more details and confirm the truth.

He just doesn't do it all the time with every guest and topic; but that's a side-effect of having long casual meandering conversations so people get upset when it doesn't happen with intensity they want against the content they disagree about.
The job of a browser is to render a wide range of UI specifications reliably and support a collection of broken but grandfathered web languages, not to render them quickly. Speed is nice, but it comes after those concerns.

The point of Electron is to allow people to develop UIs quickly, leveraging their experience with the web. Electron is extremely bloated & slow. To some degree it has to be.

If browsers were about speed, they wouldn't interpret Javascript. I'd argue they'd probably force the UI to be specified in a form that explicitly disallows inefficiencies and probably isn't turing complete. I'd argue a domain-specific solution for rendering highlighted code specifically could be a lot faster than a browser, like multiple orders of magnitude. We know that's the case by virtue of the fact we could even do it at all in the 80s.
Satcom is indeed still key.

A ship may be nearby, but a ship's mast is only so tall. Assuming a typical cruising altitude of the aircraft at 10km, and a mast height of 100m (generous), the line of sight radio horizon is 30km. A friendly AWACS gives you about 400km.

Even with satcom, jamming of these links remains a very real concern. GEO coms sats by their nature have a relatively low power signal. Clever modulation can do a lot, but it can't escape the fundamental physics.
Eh, I guess we'll see in a few years if things turn around. It's a bit too soon to tell.
No means a lot more than “no” most of the time.

My mom was Jehovah’s Witness, so I was raised always to take care of “the appearances”, always being polite, even when you disagree.

When I moved to the US back in 2000, I “discovered” people have freedom to think and say whatever they want (kind of) and it was OK to dissent.

The pendulum went the other way, and I became a big fan of Bill Maher and the “it’s OK to be politically incorrect” openly atheist crowd. But being in tech, and the corporate world, it’s not that easy…

The biggest irony of all, is that now I live in what people consider to be “the country of freedom”, and yet, I’ve resorted back to my old ways, always using the “proper way to talk”, not to offend anyone, and always play the kind game. If you want to get anywhere in corporate America, you don’t have a choice anymore. You have to pretend, even if you agree 90%, you’re not pure enough.

In reality, I love dissent, and hearing different ideas, and arguing, convince and being convinced, and not having to care about “banned” words or sensitivities. Lay it all on the table and come back to the drawing board. Where can any of us still get that?

Many times, no is a polite way to say f-you.
Shit like this pisses me off. I care for Firefox and the team behind it but how do you get rid of these vampires sucking the company dry? You've got executive pay going up, usage going down. Pivotal leaders being ousted, good workers being released, good features being removed and shit features being added. It's like managers and executives somehow dig their bureaucratic teeth into a successful company/project and then suck it dry while proclaiming "It's ok, everything will be alright. Here, have some AVX-512 or some MEGA OMNIBAR." As if this shit actually matters.

Why is there no system for calling them out on this, swiftly kicking them out and staunching the bleeding?

Or maybe they shouldn't have let Brendan Eich go in the first place, who seems to be doing quite well with Brave right now.

Maybe a good CEO isn't defined just by the salary he or she receives?
Indeed.

Although if food grows easily, you might expect the number of humans around to grow to catch up with it... and this mostly didn't happen (in the pre-industrial world) not because there wasn't enough time (exponentials are fast!) but because it ran into other limits, like disease.
I'm two fences on Firefox doing "too many unrelated things" as the article suggests.

Firefox OS has been pretty much unsuccessful, but it sort of made sense? It started to be made when Firefox was still on top on desktop, but mobile started eating its lunch; and it was clear that Firefox need to do something about it, or the future will be all Chrome and Safari, on the two locked-down platforms.

Which eventually happened, of course, and Firefox share is neglible nowadays on mobile.

The identity management with Persona or what was the name also made sense. People at that time started using Google and Facebook for unified identity, and it made sense to make a decentralized identity.

None of these project ultimately worked, but they made sense?

What never made sense to me was Pocket or Send, or even the teleconferencing they had, but it seems that Firefox doubles down on Pocket now.
But he does not "threaten journalists and the media with criminal punishment", which is what I was pointing out. And if we were to react to name calling, they've called him far worse.
No big revelations.

They tell they can make cells with conventional cathodes even bigger.

The problem with cylindrical cells is that they are very sensitive to mechanical shrinkage, and expansion, and this puts an upper limit on their size.

The main difference here is a US tech Vs UK corporate culture.

Mozilla's approach is "spend lots of cash and grow fast like a VC backed company".

The guardian is a "let's try and have a stable user base and keep the company alive for another 100 years".

In this case, Mozilla's approach has failed badly. I think it's unlikely they'll turn it around without the help of another big tech company making a strategic purchase.
Agreed. "Linux on Windows" is more clear to me.

The "on Windows" part makes it clear that Windows is the host OS.

Many Microsoft's past products used "for $PLATFORM" in the product name. For example:

Microsoft Word for Windows

Microsoft Word for DOS

Microsoft Word for Mac

It makes it clear that it was the version of the product FOR a given platform.

At first glance "Windows Subsystem for Linux" seems like Microsoft's version of WINE.

Maybe we'll get a real "Windows Subsystem for Linux" when the desktop version of Microsoft Linux arrives.
Mitchell Baker is actually the one who laid off everyone to focus on the core product.

I don't think that is obviously true. Stein and the Green Party finished behind the Libertarian Party by a signification margin.

What states would have switched? In Wisconsin Clinton + Stein did outpoll Trump alone (by ~10K votes), but the Libertarian party had another 106K votes that would have been allocated and it's not hard to imagine Trump getting more than Clinton of them.

It was a similar story in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Pretty sad because it is the only privacy oriented browser left.

Safari has dropped support for any privacy oriented extensions, and while Chrome might support them, everything you do with it goes through Google anyway.

That while Firefox can run uBlock Origin, has the Facebook container built in and you can even install a 3rd party Google container.
I believe we're in agreement. I was coming to your defense since there seemed to be some confusion among readers who didn't like your extension. Maybe wording?

But yeah, I think on basically every metric cardinal is better than ordinal methods which are better than plurality. The whole IRV push seems odd to me when approval (or STAR) is both simpler, responds better to spoilers (the main concern?), and obtains a substantially higher VSE. I don't think IRV solves enough of the problems to make a meaningful difference (I've brought up Australia a lot in this thread).
Tips for Component Development
Saving a declining company will bring enough revenue for future compensation for the CEO. And who wouldn't hire a CEO that saved a sinking company? On the other hand, if the company still goes belly up, well apparently that CEO wasn't so good after all. So high compensation wasn't needed.
> It cannot be ocean away because fighter jet range does not exceed 2000 miles.

Leaving aside the fact that fighter jets can be refueled in flight, why would you build a fleet of remotely operated planes but still keep the pilots in theatre? Now instead of taking down 25 jets individually, your adversary only needs to blow up the room where their pilots are sitting.

The key benefit of remote operation is that the operators can stay far away from the bullets.
Completely unrelated to the article itself, but I find the umlauts in the name super fascinating. I was previously not aware that double acute was a thing that was used and that it's distinct from using diaeresis. In short, I didn't know ő and ö are different characters that separately exist and it's really neat.
I had fun reading that too.

I recently submitted a small post here about implementing a simple FORTH-like language, in golang. I figured I should go a step further and document how you'd embed that inside a host-application. So I came up with a trivial turtle-implementation.

To draw a square:

50 forward
90 turn
50 forward
90 turn
50 forward
90 turn
50 forward

Of course with FORTH you'd define a word to draw a square of the given size:

: square ( top of the stack is length of side)
dup dup dup
4 0 do
forward \ move forward, drawing a line
90 turn \ turn 90 degrees. we're a square!
loop
;

The result was definitely fun to play with, especially once I made it output both the final result and an animated gif of each draw-step:

https://github.com/skx/turtle

This reminds me strongly of that post. DSLs are fun, and something like FORTH maps well to a lot of simple use-cases.
