I dealt with it by realizing that my own perception of the concepts of true and false can only be based on the consensus of other people I’m able to communicate with, and now that I can instantly reach billions of people I see it more like any side of any issue is “true” in the sense that “those ideas have been instantiated into our world and are something I have to deal with”. I don’t see any other solution, since how do you fight an idea? My country has been in wars against ideas for the entirety of my adult life and I’ve never seen them succeed.
SparkFun staff answered my questions about hardware thoroughly, probably a few lectures worth within 5-10 replies. That moment is always in my heart! I don’t do hardware much though, I was curious about making a ring. Litho.cc made something similar to what I wanted to create.
Is there an equivalent of Turbolinks for something like Django? Or even for MVC PHP apps?
Exactly. What we’re really seeing here is technical debt from the fact that we have so many different desktop environments. Much of the cost of having Gnome and KDE was hidden by the fact that a lot of the job of putting pixels on the screen and handling keyboard and mouse events was done (very badly) by X in one way or another.

Now the compositor/screen manager isn’t doing that anymore because it never should have and it was a terrible division or responsibility in the first place. But we have devs pushing forward on multiple different fronts with different DEs and development is painfully slow.

> it's not clear if we'll be able to see that many titles take on raytracing in future titles

Considering AMD's core role in next-gen consoles, it's likely that there'll be broad support for raytracing in games (especially cross-platform games). I'd say the question is more whether the 6000 series is anywhere close to RTX in performance for RT (which afaik wasn't shown today).

You're right, this is how I studied computer science. A laptop was simply unaffordable for a student in those days (mid-90s). I remember one of my friends bought an IBM "Butterfly" laptop really cheaply at an auction. We were all amazed at it. Imagine, your own computer in your backpack! :D
I wish the USA had laws mandating the usability of IoT hardware like this. Something like “right to repair,” but perhaps more aggressive.
They just want to fine the business. Arresting delivery drivers for not giving a crap about underage drinking is how you create libertarians and that's the last thing the local police department wants.
I also wanted to use a music service that supports the artists more and found that Napster[0](not the old P2P client) pays out the most royalties to artists. It works pretty well but obviously isn't as popular as spotify and doesn't have as many playlists but the music selection is similar. I use soundiiz[1] to bring my playlists over and it has been more or less seemless.

I think tearing may be one of those personal preferences where the population is divided down somewhere near the middle, but people on either side can not fathom the existence of the other as anything other than some sort of bad-faith exercise in contrarianism. At least, I for my part could never imagine ever willingly giving up a "real feature" (my perception!) like xdotool for the cosmetic benefits of no tearing (which to me feels like a problem on the importance level of "getting the blinky blue LEDs on your GPU fan to work"), but at the same time there is clearly a large number of people on tech support forums, stackexchange etc. to whom it is of show-stopping significance, as evidenced by the effort and time put into achieving non-tearing and how often it is presented as a self-evident killer feature of systems like Wayland.

I really like C# and .Net for getting the job done but Balzor runs Mono .Net in Wasm and the startup time is brutal for the public internet. 2 to 3 seconds. This leads me to believe Blazor is targeted at corporate intranets on high speed networks where you have a ready supply of C# programmers
IMO, TurboLinks + service workers are the way to go.

Not many people know this, but a service worker (previously called "local server") allows you to run a little web server in the user's browser that intercepts requests to your own web site. (There's no open IP port.)

The service-worker web server can proxy requests to the remote server, and even build/store entire pages on the client side, enabling offline support. Service workers also have access to a local database, IndexedDB, running in the user's browser.

You can build a very fast web experience this way. You can easily cache individual pieces of a web page and glue them all together.

For example, you can easily implement server-side includes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Includes or edge-side includes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_Side_Includes but running on a server that's running on the client.
Maybe this is more suited to stackoverflow but, how do you load with turbolinks when the two pages use different assets? Let's say each page have different js script tags.
> Imagine going to these same people and saying "Good news, you can keep your coal plants, we will just tax you more than how much it would cost to shut them down!"

Replace, no. But there are many implementations of it. It won't go away.

Windows has Xming and Cygwin. Mac has XQuartz. Linux, well, has Xorh and Xwayland. Even on iOS and Android there's X servers.
Turbolinks isn't specific to rails.

That article describes lower income people taking an earned income tax credit. That sort of thing sounds very simple to find and is low hanging fruit. Most of it is probably a simple mismatch.

Your casual bitcoin spender is not going to be like that at all. Their under reported transactions will be difficult to even find. If you do find them, their true cost basis will be difficult to determine.
Poland stopped in its tracks, protesters block the streets in hundreds of cities

Part of our political system's fiction and ability to make no progress is deeply ingrained in lobbying and expenses that is more PR than impact. I think this is the parent post's point.

I think The answer might be that there were good developers in Ohio that for various reasons (family) didn’t want to move to the valley.
They already accepted a lower salary. They were comfortable passing up valuable networking opportunities in HCOL.

Now the $200k in valley, doesn’t provide as much value as $125k in OHio.

That’s one example. I’m sure there is some examples that support both ideas, but there are some that support Paying the same developer less In LCOL areas

Agree, Figma is definitely slower, but Sketch has issues too when there are too many objects in the workspace. I think if Sketch made their performance 10x better, then I'd agree that native apps are better, but it's more like a 1.2x than a 10x.

Being realistic, I believe they will hamstring their desktop APUs to stay at an entry-level performance-wise, firstly because APUs are generally bought by the budget-conscious, and secondly because why cannibalize their own product line by not selling a separate CPU and GPU to the discerning gamer? Laptops are a different story.

I started thinking this way after seeing basically no improvement from the 2200G and 2400G to the 3400G.
That would suck. I've certainly seen the usefulness of wireless charging--I've had two tablets power connectors die on me and was saved by wireless charging (HP Touchpad, and Nexus 7 2013 that I still occasionally use)--however, not having a USB port available is massively inconvenient: my Nexus 7 takes ages to charge, and needs to be positioned just right. If I bump it during the night, grab the wrong cable, etc, it falls off and I may not notice. Worse yet, data transfers without the cable are insanely slow; the main reason I got a new tablet was so I could put files on it in the morning (music, video, work, etc) and still leave on time. Wireless data transfer isn't just slower than wired, it's also massively more battery draining, and the wireless charger can't keep up if the screen is on--not that it matters, since you can't actually use a wireless charger with a device in your hand anyways.
Sure they don't, but stop saying you don't and be clear that you manage content the way you want. Then we can regulate you accordingly for being a publisher.

You get one or the other, they made a choice, now they will be accountable to it.
I would also prefer something like Next.js with partial hydration. But what I want in that is probably a much bigger ask: I want the partial hydration to be performed automatically with static analysis. Something like Svelte (real DOM codegen, no need to ship a library to the browser) would be especially nice, but I don’t want to give up JSX. In the end, this is probably well outside the scope of a framework coupled directly with React, and I suspect that if I want it badly enough it’s something I’ll need to build myself.
I like this analogy... It's very true, and has a lot of local rendering which at the time of X terminals was a bit of a pipe dream. They could just locally render some things like fonts.

Sun also tried to get into this game early with the JavaStations. But they were ridiculously slow, so painful to use. In fact they kind of ruined Java for me. I was learning it at the time, and we got a JavaStation on loan from somewhere. Working on it just established this "Java = slow" feeling in my head and really put me off so much I went to do other things.

Of course this wasn't really deserved, and Java has gone on to become powerful (though I still consider its poor intra-version compatibility an issue). But I've never been able to quite shake that feeling.

> how your mind is a channel of the Higher Mind of the universe

However trashy these headlines might sound, I will not dismiss them as junk without actually reading the article. (Again, I do not mean to say his article was not trashy, just that I wont judge it based on headline alone.)

For example millions of people do Yoga which literally means to "join" where the joining implies joining with "cosmic self" which is the the supreme objective of Yoga. People can benefit immensely from Yoga despite not having belief in any kind of cosmic self. In fact people claim to benefit from all 8 limbs of Yoga (Yama, Niyama, Dhyana, Asana, Pranayama, Dharana, Pratyahar, Samadhi). Plenty of people benefit from Kundalini Yoga though the ideas that there is a snake like thing in our backbone that can rise to head is purely nonsensical in scientific terms. I think the article on Randi, does summarize a lot of problems with modern skeptics. They dismiss things their own prejudices and premises can not explain without bothering to reach out to other side.

I think someone like Nissim Taleb has a far better perspective on these sort of things.
Google refunded the devices for 2 years after they shut it down.

Also Revolv was more of an acquihire, they shut it down almost immediately after they acquired it in 2016. You could say that Revolv failed. If google didn't purchase it they might have closed anyway with no refunds plus a bunch of people unemployed.

It sucks that it happened but I don't think your comment qualifies well what really transpired.
I can assure you that anybody who makes members virtual by default does not understand the feature, even if that body is named Steele.

What was much worse was copying in wholesale the C crap that C++ had been obliged to adopt to maintain backward compatibility with C, when Java faced no such constraint.

It looks like they didn't originally plan to, but after the negative press and maybe involvement of the FTC, they did offer refunds:

To clarify, the $300 wasn't a lifetime subscription fee, that was the whole price of the device which was sold with "lifetime subscription" as a major selling point compared to competitors with monthly fees.

Another similar story, Wink hubs were sold as not needing a subscription, and then added one later. Announced with 1 week warning, date was pushed back, but went into effect earlier this year. If you don't subscribe, it mostly stops working.

I can't imagine buying a non-subscription smarthome device unless they can be managed locally with Home Assistant or similar.

At least when you buy a device advertised with a subscription you know they have a business model. Except for certain companies where that business model is "We love to discontinue all of our projects."
Funnily it works both ways as indulgences were supposed to "wash away the sin".

Also, I would have hoped that we could have managed to solve the pollution issue in a rational way, but hope is getting thin. And religion comes with the power of strong taboos that might succeed where we previously failed. Or maybe what is blocking us is how progress has been given the status of a new religion, and while we can appreciate where it got us, we also have to consider whether the costs aren't going to outweigh the benefits in the future...
Wouldn't Facebook have to claim exclusive ownership of user data to have any standing in a legal action within the USA? That seems highly unlikely to me.

In the unlikely event that Facebook did push its luck, NYU has perfectly qualified lawyers of its own.

This isn't about poor helpless NYU. It is clearly a PR move to make loud public noise about Facebook misbehavior, mostly about questionable ad practices. The cease and desist action just provides the moment for Facebook critics.
Thoughtworks Technology Radar Volume 23
Typical X terminals ran xclock and xterm back in the day and not much else. Pretty cool for the time though. I remember lan gaming with friends in the 90s sometimes turned into hacking sessions. I would sometimes have a few Mosaic browsers run remotely off my system over 10Base2. Given how slow the dialup modem was downloading html X wasn't the bottle neck.

Todays modern desktops with compositing and rendering libraries that can target hardware acceleration and run games and visualisation software on opengl or vulkan aren't well served by network transparency and the X extension model.

The sad truth about X network transparency is that it generally worked better to write to a local screen and then send the screen updates over some other protocol like vnc or nx.
If you're going to go to the effort of writing the complement version instead of pragma-suppressing the warning on that line, just remove the ifdef and use that with all compilers.
I'm not really worried about Windows OpenGL performance, even the new Minecraft edition (which performs enormously better all around) uses DirectX. Browsers use ANGLE to convert GL to DirectX for a reason, it's a crap API all around on Windows (not that it had to be but that's how it is).

The driver bugs are what I'm most worried about though. I remember when I got a 4670 in 2008 there was a cursor corruption bug (google it, it's common) and if you didn't shake the mouse enough for it to fix itself it'd crash. Then I built a new PC with a 5770 and I still had it. Later a new PC with a 6950 and still had it. Then 2x280X and still had it. It even occurred on Linux once. Then I went Nvidia for a few generations and it seems AMD finally fixed it. It seems fixed now (maybe because of new hardware) based on internet searches but from 2008-2015 the bug was there. And this is just one example of things.

Not that Nvidia drivers have ever been perfect but I never ran into this kind of shit so often for so long on their cards. Hopefully I don't end up regretting the 6900 XT because of it.
I'm a middle class white male, so idk much about these things. But my first idea was to put phrases like, "Did you know the first computer programmer was a woman? Ada Lovelace" and other surprising, encouraging facts about women, minorities, and inclusivity in STEM on posters, flyers, or whatever.

I think one of the keys to getting anyone (child, high schooler, adult, etc) interested in something is to make it cool. Making something cool requires a different approach for different groups. Adults might think it's cool to make a lot of money, but kids often don't care about that. But if you know anything about your child's generation and what her age groups thinks is cool, try to find facts that highlight how "cool" STEM is in their context.

Please don't interpret my use of "surprising" to be condescending, I mean that I think most high schoolers will find these things surprising.

Also they can get the Story from Fox News and Tucker Carlson, except the response will be the same. Unless the story comes from a publisher that aligns with their ideals, they won't trust it.

Political viability differs a lot between polities. Oregon shut down its last coal plant this year. Oregonians can't vote to shut down West Virginian coal plants. Oregon can't impose carbon tariffs to nudge other states, either, since interstate commerce is the domain of federal power. But Oregon can theoretically get to net 0 emissions by deploying carbon capture in tandem with their own ongoing phaseout of fossil fuels. Carbon capture is the least bad option once a polity has cut its own internal emissions as much as practical and has tried and failed to get other polities to make similar cuts.
you say 'disabled aside' but what about the myriad of other reasons? Mental health, unemployment, pregnancy that year, international travel but still a citizen, w/e. As soon as you start pointing to reasons that a government can/ can't take away your power to vote you are screwed as a populace. Not that i have much faith in the voting system anyways cause' who knows how they count the votes anyways. It seems the incredibly old voting machines that they have could easily be hacked by a nation-state level effort.

Not for most people, and not with any reasonable assurance you'll get something 'good' at the end. Even scheduling time between multiple people can be a deal breaker. The OP had posted there never felt like a 'good time' to do it.

Asking good questions, prompting people who aren't great (nerves, whatever) can all add a lot of stress to the process.
