Well, from a certain mindset, a publisher that embeds drm in their game absolutely does not deserve your money (vote with your wallet and all of that).

Now, supporting someone cracking that same drm for people to run their games however they want? Makes much more sense.

Like many times before, just shows that piracy is not (just) about being cheap, it's (often) a matter of principle.

> Instead of asking, "How do I test Roblox?", I'd ask:

I'm already ramen profitable with what I'm doing. The vast majority of my ideas are not ideas for new businesses, though a few are.

The idea I'm testing in this thread is, "looking at successful businesses, how would rigid Lean Startup practices have worked in their early days?"

Tinyseed isn't terribly interesting to me in this context since they have a very narrow SaaS focus, none of them have had an IPO and Rob has a large podcast he uses to promote the companies. It's a great strategy on his part, but it makes it much harder to figure to know how much the success of companies they invest in is due to their ideas.

Something similar could be said of Jason Calicanis's launch.co, though I bet it will have some massive wins in the next few years.
In that sense it's not saying anything different from what we have been doing for the past 60 years.

The only significant thing that has changed is that power & cooling is no longer free, so perf/power is a major concern, especially for datacenter customers.
Not quite. JS is round towards zero, ie. the same as C. If you look at the x86 instruction set then until SSE2 (when Intel specifically added an extra instruction to achieve this) this was extremely awkward to achieve. x86 always did round-to-nearest as the default.

The use of INT_MIN as the overflow value is an x86-ism however, in C the exact value is undefined.

If only having tools from the same toolchain guaranteed ABI compatibility worked! Something as apparently benign as using absl::string_view with different '-std=c++NN' flags in different otherwise unrelated C++ libraries is an ABI break.
The one reason I can guess is for the preservation effort. Copyright holder may go bankrupt and video games becomes orphaned works in any days. DRM is an obstacle for the software preservation effort.

The cost of labor is far from uniform.

A FAANG employee's labor is higher than a Uber driver's, driven by both supply (most people can drive an Uber) and demand (FAANG companies make a lot of money, something like >$1mm per engineer).

But getting back to the article, it only looks at the productivity of industries (which speaks to demand for certain types of labor), but the cost of training, say, a string quartet musician hasn't markedly decreased since the cost of education also hasn't fallen much.
When RISC first appeared they really were simpler than competing designs.

But today I think it's hard to argue that modern pipelined, out of order processors with hundreds of millions of transistors are in any sense 'simple'.

If there is a general lesson to be learned it's that the processor is often best placed to optimise on the fly rather than have the compiler try to do it (VLIW) or trying to fit a complex ISA to match the high level language you're running.
Given that everyone is going crazy in the news recently about Facebook censoring a very major right wing news story and Facebook and Twitter are being subpoenaed over the actions to speak before congress about it, that seems unlikely.
The main point of the article is that the free speech laws in this country have clouded the divide between free speech for individuals, and the rights for media companies and political parties to spread misinformation as they see fit.

What you're proposing in your last paragraph is what the article is proposing too. The issue is that under the guise of an absolutist take of free speech, we've now put all free speech under the same banner.

To apply protections to the categories of media would require rethinking what free speech means and who it applies to.

IMHO free speech is great. It just needs certain measures around transparency and corporate lobbying to prevent it being brought down with the bad actors

> To the wikileaks, Hunter Biden is a private individual

Let's just say that Hunter Biden is a private individual for sake of argument. The papers involve a corruption scandal involving a business transaction with his father who was Vice President of the United States with a foreign government.

Jeebus. Is every person implicated in a foreign scandal who doesn't work for the (U.S.) government absolved from press?

IoT and embedded computing isn't a niche market. Most households have more embedded and mobile devices than they have desktop/laptop computers.
short story: I installed recently Linux (on Dual Boot) on my main Desktop at home after 8y of not using Linux as Desktop.

Yesterday i boot up my Majaro with i3, installed the latest Proton on Steam and decided to install Path of Exile. The results are, for me, very surprising how good was the experience:

- Started Steam. Set Proton version to 5.13-1.

- Install Path of Exile. Install went really fast compared to my Windows 10. Im using both on SSD, Windows NTFS and Linux Btrfs.

- Started Path of exile. Put settings on high/ultra and set graphics backend to Vulkan. I have a RTX 2080S with a 6700K im sure PoE can run on high/ultra.

- Restarted. Played for like 1h between 150-200 fps without any glitch or anything i could say its worse than Windows.

- During this time i had Discord on background, Firefox, Terminals and was able to switch workspaces without any issue with i3.

I'm really surprised how smooth the experience was. I have really to give kudos to the Team working on Proton and Steam for this nice "Desktop" experience.
Plus it seems from my Steam library, apart from some MP games that have anti-cheat, it seems most of the games are playable and classified as gold or platinum.
I really recommend to anyone not playing competitive MP games to give Linux a try with Steam. Well done!

I don’t know what “milquetoast” is. Googling it it appears that the author means that Substack is “bland”, is that a correct interpretation?

Anyway, I found the article very uninsteresting. A lot of words and intellectual quotes to justify their reasons to prefer blogs than paid newsletters, while specifically targeting one company (while paid newsletter is larger than just Substack). I left the reading without learning anything interesting. A quite milquetoast reading if you will.
I think the line in the sand that a lot of people draw is when the web went from requiring skills to access vs being made easy for most people.

Using their first example, the factory workers world take their extra, efficiency-induced earnings to market, and buy more services and luxury goods, increasing the profits in nearby but not more efficient sectors. And so those managers and workers in the example could in fact be paid more.
Thanks. OK. That might be different. If they did already have a very low presence, then they might have just suppressed it and border controls and low traffic prevented seeding new cases from abroad.

SaaS Feature Teardown Analysis
Is someone building a product or service that does a detailed teardown analysis of SaaS features, say by feature area?

For example, if I'm building a "Team" feature, I want to know how have other products have implemented it. How does the workflow look like? UI? UX?

There are probably thousands of other products that have built and implemented the same feature, so seems kind of inefficient that I have to reinvent the wheel every time.

Is there a product that does this? If it did - how much subscription per month would you pay for it?

It's tempting to think that 2038 is a long way off, so who cares, but I still regularly encounter systems that have been in prod for 20+ years. 2038 is only 18 years away! If you're building systems today, it's worth thinking about how these kinds of issues may affect things. You may still be around then anyhow, so your future self may thank you.
that's a lot more helpful, thank you
I struggle to define “propaganda,” but Mother Jones is decidedly far left.
Because if market is efficient the wage should equal marginal product of labor, which is basically what defines productivity.

Also, it says “seemingly”, i.e. if you don’t take a closer look. In fact it completely reflects predictions of classical economics. It’s just that the model is more complex because it has heterogeneous sectors.
If there's a public mirror of the data-set available, not too much concern given that the downloads only happen when the user requests running said test.
One Trillion Trees
It's quite different though, Jazelle literally implemented java bytecode in hardware.

These instructions "merely" performs a float -> int conversion with JS semantics, such that implementations don't have to reimplement those semantics in software on ARM. The JS semantics probably match x86 so x86 gets an "unfair" edge and this is a way for ARM to improve their position.

> Farnell (or CPC in the UK)

In the UK we have both CPC (~.farnell.com) and Farnell (uk.~.farnell.com; née Element14).

It's not always clear to me which I should be using (optimally for me - to them I think it's clear that CPC is trade/savvy DIY, and E14 is larger electronics buyers) - one or the other can be cheaper on the same product.

Recent examples - that sort of make sense given demographics I mentioned - small volume components cheaper at CPC; (low-end/budget) test equipment cheaper at E14.

>parent was saying good ideas don't win if demagogues can hold a monopoly on the marketplace of ideas

Well, that's irrelevant, as free speech is not about "good ideas winning", but all ideas being able to be heard.

Saying that some are "demagogues" is begging the question, and presumes one side has the good ideas, and the other doesn't.

Which, whether is the case or not, should be irrelevant from the perspective of free speech.

"Free speech for good ideas" is not free speech, it's a dictatorship of people prescribing and controlling which ideas are to be considering good.

> BTW my point was never “your chance of dying in a car crash is >= COVID”...although that statement would be very true for <40 age populations. My point was more broadly that people have a risk aversion to COVID that is unmatched by their attitudes towards risk in all other areas of life.

Which was based on your observation of driving VS Covid19 mortality, or at least it appeared to be from the comment.

People have a very natural risk aversion for a new disease that is extremely likely to kill their parents or grandparents, that has unknown long-term effects, that has no known treatment, and that risks becoming endemic if not contained soon (and that has already killed more people than malaria).
For me, one of the bioshock games crashes constantly on win 10 but works flawlessly on ubuntu. Go figure.

Yes it is? The essay's point is that "standard" hardware benchmark (C and SPEC and friends) don't match modern workloads, and should be devaluated in favour of better matching actual modern workloads.
You might have good intentions here, but you also have a setup for a motte-and-bailey argument. It starts with "surely the enforcement would be benign" but who holds the powerful to account when it actually comes time to reign the powerful in?

The vowels in the English language: bat, bait, bet, beet, bit, bite, bot, boat, but, butte, bout, boil, book, the 'a' in about (/ə/), baht. That's only in my dialect, and not counting r-colored vowels (which are not r-colored in British dialects!).

This list was constructed by building short/long vowel pairs, and then tacking on the weirder vowels afterwards. As you'll notice from the inclusion of the last entry, there is a major dialect issue here. There are four sounds (/æ/, /ɒ/, /ɑ/, /ɔ/) that are usually distributed into three sounds in major dialects, and these arise from short a and short o in written orthography... but which words send their vowels to the different targets varies greatly depending on the dialect. If you pick it according to any one dialect, you're going to get some poor correlation in another dialect.

The other obvious issue is that adding new characters is actually difficult in the modern age. Of the sounds I've dropped in above, I can only type in ə and æ without resorting to copy-paste, and that's only because those are accessible with the Compose key. Telling people that you have to use 10 keys not present on their keyboards to write their language is going to be a hard sell. Again, note that English dropped þ as a letter primarily because it wasn't possible to print with printing presses imported from Germany.
It uses an Amlogic S922X aka the G12B. Support is generally pretty good, there's a dedicated community that has been very active pushing upstream[1].

Except the ARM G51 Bifrost gpu, which has only recently started to see viability[2] thanks to one hacker's reverse engineering. If you want to read a lot of words, there's a status report from the libreeelec Kodi-based media player distribution distribution that's a year old, that lays out a lot of what needs be done, from a very video-intense perspective[3]; this is before recent reverse engineering efforts, & largely discusses uses closed proprietary blobs, but still interesting. Most recently & very interestingly, there are signs that ARM itself may be willing to start helping out the reverse engineered development[4], which would be a new potentially interesting state of affairs.

I have an XPS 13. I paid for the default "basic warranty." This week my fans started wobbling, causing lots of noise. I called Dell, told them I was using Linux, then they immediately offered to send someone in-person (with pandemic safety precautions) to fix it. And they did. It took 15 minutes for my fan to be replaced once they arrived. The person was very helpful, and they improved my boot time, too, by setting the clock in my BIOS.
> Adding hardware support for this is naive and has failed before (ie. Jazelle, picoJava, etc).

The hardware support being added here would work just as well for WASM (though it might be less critical).
