I think a lot of people look at the history of Netflix through rose colored glasses. I remember talking with a senior engineering exec I knew at Netflix quite a few years ago now and he made a comment along the lines of "People come to Netflix for the movies and they stay for the shows." (This was before House of Cards etc.) It may have once been better than today, but Netflix never had a great (streaming) film catalog.

There's also the fact that there are relatively comprehensive film catalogs on Amazon and Apple modulo streaming service exclusives and various older content. You just have to pay for it. The financial reality is that you're not going to get all the video content ever created for one low $10/month fee.
Building Overkill WorkBench for Home Office Series Part 5 – Workbench Completed
I think the main takeaway, caching, is important. But what's frustrating with Wordpress is that there are many plugins to do caching, and each caching plugin has a million options in it. How they handle images, dynamic content, cache headers, ETags, etc, are often buried deep in submenus.

On top of that, testing caching is challenging - replicating between local, staging, and prod is ultimately a very manual and error prone process, so there's no real way to figure out how to test and if what you're doing is the right thing. Since caching is not an immediate thing (it can take time for a CDN to pick up an asset, for example), it can be unclear if what you've done works, or if you need to wait five minutes and try again.

I wrote a blogpost a few months ago about this and other issues. (https://solitaired.com/why-we-switched-from-wordpress-to-nod...)

Maybe I'm doing it wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sony Engineer Talks Up Using Flutter and Wayland for Their Embedded Interfaces

The introduction to the article relies on so much context and assumed knowledge that I almost didn't read past the third paragraph.

Who are Uncle Bob, Gary Bernhardt, and Mr. Brandon Rhodes? I have no idea, and I don't need to know who they are to read the rest of the article. (Which itself is extremely well-written.)

IMO: Have an introduction that doesn't rely on unneeded context. It's appropriate to credit people; but do it in a way where a reader unfamiliar with the context doesn't assume that they need to know the context to read further.
Step 1 is "reduce dynamic content" but the bottom line is a plug for tens of KBs of JavaScript (per request) to track your users :)

Can you elaborate on this?
We already have the ACA system and state marketplaces. Someone can search for health insurance if their company doesn't provide it. The plans are expensive for most people and the deductibles are much higher than most employer plans.

The cost of supplies and services are not going to go down overnight if we decouple employers sponsored insurance.

Personally I don't think universal healthcare is the correct option or a viable one in the US. The existing government plans should be expanded to lower incomes (way above poverty line), self employed, and allow unemployed people to float until their next job. Also add a percentage of your salary structure similar to what wikipedia says about Swiss healthcare.

It would be nice to have the option to buy in to government plans if your employer doesn't offer anything or you are retired. Everyone already pays into theses plan and a small increase combined with a % of salary structured buy in isn't going to bankrupt people.

Swiss healthcare costs are more similar to the US than other countries. The private system is also similar to the US. I still think the expenses need to an overhaul. It's way past time for the government to step in.
When you have a culture and that culture has lots of traditions and memories associated with the holidays, and they're a key vehicle for nostalgia, you don't just swap it all out for the latest shiny new movie. Furthermore, we are talking about the Peanuts characters. They had a multi-decade run syndicated across all the national funny pages, long before any of them were ever animated. Do we even have the sort of media environment any more where it's possible to make this sort of cultural investment, and reach out and touch everyone? If not, this may be a harbinger of our culture's continued fragmentation in the days to come.

And that's the question.

Is there more value in being able to remember who the specific philosopher was, or more in knowing how to find that information quickly and easily?

To take it a step further - is there more value in individuals remembering the specific philosopher, or in society, anyone in society being able to find out that same information?

Again, your comment completely fails to demonstrate comprehension of my argument. It's not a complex argument. I don't know why you fill it in with nonsense and then disparage your made up nonsense. What a waste of effort!

The specific thing that EM fields can do that axons or transistors cannot do is provide "intrinsic unity", the seamless cohesion that underpins the unified whole of conscious experience. This is because the EM field is itself a unified whole. The computational aspects of consciousness are still found in the dynamics of neurons.

Again, I was very specific in the argument about what property of the EM field I'm referencing. I'm not sure why you insist on battling strawmen. But increasingly obtuse and indignant responses do not make an argument. So you should really abandon that shtick.

I'm leery to put advances in sales and marketing in the same category as engineering. An engineering advance adds total value, value that was not there before.

Advances in sales and marketing categorically don't do that. By definition they move value around that was pre-existing.
I would (still) love to use it as a shared knowledge space between collaborators, running a private instance. I am not sure of the details, but they added trust relationships / "federation" between separate instances of wave.

This kind of positive assertion handover of control is still standard for very good reasons.
GDPR applies to users based in Europe only. If you live in other countries you don't have the same rights. Companies usually build export systems for GDPR and similar so technically it's possible, but there is more reluctance to spend (human) time on such requests when it's not absolutely neccessary.

As European users the best approach is likely to write a letter, directed at their data protection officer (they're required by law to assign one) and add proof you own the account, by whatever data you used to sign up (e.g. copy of passport doesn't help because you probably didn't use that to sign up). Even then expect delays, I think they have 4 weeks to reply, and multiple attempt. I've read the first-hand story of somebody going throught the steps with Amazon and it took several months.
How about you switch to a free licence such as a two-clause BSD or an MIT licence?
This is exactly why almost nobody writes native apps anymore. You're restricted to only one platform, which limits your ability to collaborate with anyone not using that platform.

Asking someone to actually install an app is also itself a huge barrier.

Installation of native apps on desktop is a nightmare requiring at least two or three steps, which is unforgivable to most users in 2020 for anything approaching consumer or collaboration software. For that kind of software anything with more than one step in 2020 is broken and unusable. Nobody is going to jump through hoops just to view a proposal or something.

Mobile OSes made this somewhat better, but not much. App stores are slow, hard to search, and a nightmare for developers which discourages things from being written for them. Users also dislike installing mobile apps now as they assume, usually correctly, that any mobile app is so riddled with spyware it's borderline malware. Each install is yet another thing that's likely to be sucking your contacts, spying on your clipboard, tracking your phone usage, and sending your location to ten different adware monetization platforms.

Nothing compares to the ease of entering or clicking a URL and bam you're there.

100 requests per minute doesn't sound like a lot of traffic. I suppose a blog like theirs should know to not use several plugins that kills a site at 100 req/man's to not sendno-cache graders when behind a reverse proxy.
Can you expand on that? And can you describe your living circumstances. I'm relatively isolated due to rural life, and I haven't seen any of that in my life. I tend toward isolation naturally, so maybe that has something to do with it.

But I'm fascinated by your statements. Can you go more in-depth, please?
"Common in Europe" isn't really accurate either. I've never seen one.

Or if you are dynamic, profile your site to know how many queries are running, what queries actually NEED to run, and weed out anything that is not necessary for post.

I have a blog written in my "micro" framework [1] that doesn't use any caching, and is hooked up to MongoDB, it has handled being #1 a few times without falling over, or even slowing down.

The secret? 1 query per page that pulls all the relevant information into the view model. Also has a hidden benefit that I can count my pageviews by just looking at the number of queries against mongo for the day.

> But this is fully automated bureaucracy. Except instead of having well known rules or human bureaucrats we can confront

Reminds me of a novel that was written over 100 years ago:

> The Trial (German: Der Process,[1] later Der Proceß, Der Prozeß and Der Prozess) is a novel written by Franz Kafka between 1914 and 1915 and published posthumously in 1925. One of his best-known works, it tells the story of Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader.
Doesn't the first phrase of the abstract state that the latter is the case: "During the evolution in humans ...."?

Yes they can. There are no hydraulic assists between the stick and the the rotor head, or between pedals and rudder - straight mechanical linkage.

The only electric (or in some cases pneumatic) assist is the pitch trim. In event of failure that would usually stay in the same place, but in the worst case where it moves to one end of the spectrum you can absolutely control the aircraft against it (your arm just gets a bit tired after a while maintaining the pressure).

Same as Maps etc. With their phones etc they are in the business of building a personal digital assistant. If they managed to couple search with a decent ontological model of the world, they might be able to build something quite special. "Search" is one, rather simple application for the knowledge they are spidering.

This is not a new idea - it was pretty much Google's original mission statement, ISTR.
Wow - 20 years on, and windows, OSX and Linux still don't peacefully coexist.

Seriously it shouldn't be hard - you should be able to install the OS's in any order and have the installer simply set up a boot menu asking which to boot. There should be some cross platform filesystem or LVM-like system so storage space can be dynamically shared with all the OS's.

Uninstallation of the OS should be as simple as installation too. Today as far as I'm aware no major OS has an uninstaller.
And now you're into the Liskov substitution principle. All of your implementations should honor the same contract even if they do it in different ways.

As someone who has used tv on non-Apple devices I can say it works completely fine. It doesn't stream 4k like it would on apple devices, but it works fine.

- As for iCloud, their Windows client is a little lackluster. For example, the only way they can sync your iCloud calendar on Windows is by creating an Outlook plugin. So the only place I can view my iCloud calendar on my Windows computer is on the Outlook app.

- As for Music, the web player is completely fine. Not any less optimized than the Apple device versions. Would actually go further and say it looks MORE optimized than the mess of iTunes/"Music" on the Mac. Apple's native music app on the Mac has never been good.

- As for Maps, I don't think I've ever seen a web based version of it. Haven't seen a windows app variant either.

I am a only Linux users and I want to challenge this myth of Proton just working. To be honest I am disappointed that people are misleading others, the Proton DB website will give Platinum badge to games that don't just work
See Fallout NW https://www.protondb.com/app/22380
it is Platinum but check the comments for the issues reported and workarounds that might work (I had to give up for now) , For the Gold badge see example https://www.protondb.com/app/719040 , you need custom proton versions and customization.

Can we please be honest and say that with some or a lot of work we can get many games running in Linux but is expected of you to know your way around Wine tech to configure and fix stuff.

Similar complaint about Arch/wayland/CoolShit2000 works great for me but the full truth is hidden that it kinda works if you use this DE, and this Video card, and not use that feature and you read the wiki before you do anything.

Any other Linux users that agrees with me and is tired of the misleading "it works perfect now"

Who ever would like to build financial applications/ platforms can use this site to build their apps.
The point I meant to address here, is that Bitcoin is incidental to this crime. The criminals stole data and blackmailed people. Bitcoin didn't do that. If Bitcoin didn't exist, criminals would still steal data and blackmail people. Blackmail existed long before Bitcoin. Perhaps it's marginally easier because of Bitcoin, although accepting your payment for crimes via a system where all transactions are public record doesn't seem that smart to me, but whatever.

Banning things doesn't stop criminals from using them. It doesn't even stop many otherwise law-abiding people. Many of the people who support banning guns are able to recognize that banning drugs doesn't stop people from using drugs and banning abortions doesn't stop people from getting abortions, so why should banning guns stop shootings?

If you want to stop people from doing something, you need to figure out why they're doing it and remove the reason that causes them to do it. The existence of guns doesn't cause people to shoot up schools. Likewise the existence of Bitcoin doesn't cause people to blackmail. If it's not the cause, then removing it can't remove the effect.

For those interested, there is no engine connected to the blades while in flight. Most gyros have is a linkage called the pre-rotator with a clutch that you engage while stationary on the ground. This allows you to get the rotor to about two thirds of the speed needed for take off at which point you release it, and then do a take off roll to build speed and rotor speed.
Well, it could be a problem if we are aiming for human happiness. If there is natural selection going on here, then it would be pushing the people to actually become less able to think for ourselves in terms of creative solutions. Sort of like how bird species on islands sometimes lose the ability to fly.

If that is the case, it may be really hard for us to actually reverse our destructive trend against the natural world and then we are really in trouble.

Android itself is open source. The issue is Google play services that provides a lot of functionally that many apps rely on. You can run something like lineage os or graphene os, it works great for basic phone and browser functionality.

Thank you for saying this - that is what I experience (sub thirty) and I never thought of it that way...

It even comes to inbox organization. All the older team members her have folders etc to organize everything. The younger ones - we have one large inbox with everything and just search by remembering how to look for it (“oh yeah, that email had the word “altruistic” in it and it Jeff was involved)

If you think about it, that’s just how Google and constant internet connection programmed us... knowing how to find information became more valuable than knowing information.

That's not an acceptable server-side response time at all, regardless of how dynamic, or not, a blog post page or index page ought to be.

KDE and GNOME agreed in the early days that both desktops would be based on COBRA and use standard object names so the two would be compatible.

After fighting COBRA for a while KDE said this is too complex/slow and wrote DCOM (I might remember this name wrong) which gave them the parts they wanted without the overhead. GNOME stuck with COBRA longer, but I get the sense that they half agreed and were just hoping they could find a solution without abandoning COBRA (GNOME also had more corporate backers even in those days so there was probably non-programmer architects demanding they make it work). Evenually both agreed that they needed something more lightweight to solve the desktop needs and DBus came along.

Hey thanks. That was a fantastic explanation.
Personal staff and underlings are the solution. And friends and family are a great backup. This system works out well if you do a good job of remembering and meeting their needs. Keep notes on the needs of each person you care about. They will then put up with all kinds of forgetfulness and go out of their way to keep you on track.
Why is that a problem? You're not being forced to use it, I'm sure it will integrate beautifully into their systems, which is what Apple products are meant to do. If you don't like the ecosystem, don't use it.

Edit: Also, this is a lot of jumping to conclusions, Google can be used on any device, if Apple wants to compete, it will be usable on any device.
