There are two separate issues here, and the distinction is often missed. It is one thing when commodification brings to the masses what was once accessible only to the rich. It is an entirely separate and independent thing to make the economy more egalitarian, and some would argue just.

Capitalism seems to consistently do the former phenomenally well and make the latter catastrophically worse.

I think that's why we keep having absurd arguments about "the poor having microwaves" while we live in a grotesquely unequal society.
I do agree on that - but if you are using local politics the fair thing to do is to compare it to local businesses. If you are going to rule out the big parts of politics rule out the big businesses too (which renders the argument a bit moot).

Doesn't investor selection come down to finding a network that can give you access to early customers and industry experts?

For some companies it does, but if you're pre-series A there's probably work to do before you have anything to put in front of a customer or an expert. If that work needs money then this is the sort of investor you approach.

Back when I was doing startup stuff (about 10 years ago) we called this a seed round. You could raise with literally just an idea on paper - you might have had no prototypes or traction or customers at all. These days you need all those things just to get on to an accelerator. It's a bit sad. There were more fun and crazy ideas being worked on when it was easier to get initial funding.
I'm also interested in working on something like that but lets you access your data on the go even when your personal data is behind an isp nat layer.
> Factories that depended on those commodities often sat idle for months as they waited for the shortages to end.

Yep, sounds like most of my gameplay.
My memory is hazy on this but I did come across an explanation for this behaviour. At mismatched resolutions or fractional scaling (and mismatched resolutions are effectively fractional scaling) macOS renders the entire display to a virtual canvas first. This effectively requires the dGPU.

Your best bet is to run external displays at the MBPs resolutions and because that is not possible/ideal you are left with choices of running at 1080p/4k/5k. macOS no longer renders crisp on 1080p so 3840x2160 is the last remaining widely available and affordable choice while 5K is still very expensive.

> Statically typed languages without Sum Types (aka tagged unions aka enums) which includes Java, C# and C++ amongst others drive me crazy: they have no ergonomic way to express "or" types. This is a massive expressive hole which (along with lacking type inference) I believe is responsible for a lot of the hate towards statically typed languages.

Ghidra itself is still what they use, they released it so that potential hires don't have to be retrained from IDA Pro. What they don't release, however, is Ghidra plug-ins. I'm sure they have a vast trove of plug-ins for specific reverse engineering they do, and probably some that check for known holes they can exploit.

It also doesn't help to be a software engineer which task it is to do things which multiply.

It also doesn't help that we are now so much more connected.

I don't write software for one person. I often write it for Teams or customers and im efficient when i can automate things.

I do see this every day when i see people or processies and i think very often how inefficient it is.

Concept of good old mail: "useless". Takes ages, a human being has to sort it and has to bring it to you. Or a lot of jobs like all things a computer could do better and faster if we removed humans inbetween and added trust.

My mind tries to analyse things on a meta level which also leads to thoughts of relevance. I'm probably a nihilist for a reason.

My Mantras for the last few years are about the 'normal' things. Like trying out a new recipe .

And at the end of the day, i realize more and more that simple logic isn't working and my influence is very small; Now instead of trying to change something i can't change on a meta level, my goal now is to get away from this all.

I'm wandering through a mist of clarity as everyone else to arrive at the same end: death.
Does this have anything to do with what I wrote?

This is what I do not understand about the culture on HN, and mainstream "right thinking" culture in general: if your ideas really are so proper and correct, then why is there so much dishonesty in your words? If your case is sound, why not just stick to facts? Why can you not reply to direct questions, but instead act as if you did not read them?

Why do people do this? I mean, the text is right here on the page. Do neuro-typical people not feel embarrassment or shame, or is that kind of offset by the feeling of security that comes with being a member of the majority, a kind of "normie privilege" I guess you could say? The lack of self-awareness seems stark to me, but maybe I'm the only one that sees it.
Thanks for explaining. That last thing — yes that sounds uncomfortable to think about.

Hmm network cables, decades ago — I suppose that back then, hacking over the Internet wasn't really a thing, (?) so I suppose that wasn't much of an issue. Or maybe it was a local network only (for backup)
>History is full of specific lessons that aren’t relevant to most people, and not fully applicable to future events because things rarely repeat exactly as they did in the past. An imperfect rule of thumb is that the more granular the lesson, the less useful it is to the future.

I would say that suprisingly lots of history is relevant today because all history is revisonist history. Historians look at past people and situations through today's lenses and bringing up what resonates with todays problems and dilemas. Also the human nature isn't changeable so political and social and personal dilemas of ancient Athens, Rome or China can resonate with us. It only requires a good author to show us past events in new, interesting light.

Well pings will have a bit of a weird distribution. If you did a histogram of your ping for a bit you would see most values sitting near some "floor" of X ms and then a long right-sided tail of values much larger than X ms. It seems to look sorta like a gamma distribution from a quick test of my wi-fi ping. The mean would sit somewhere to the right of the largest mass of ping times. If you wanted to know where most pings were you could look at the median (which will sit right where most pings are). If you were interested in the really large values of X ms then you could compare the mean and median to find out just how much those slow ping responses are dragging your mean away from the median.

And just to drive the point home, the tax policy that this caused was occasionally literally genocidal, in the most strict meaning of the word.

This was possible because it was a slave society, and it was possible for the tax collector to collect your children into slavery in lieu of unpaid taxes. In some areas in Anatolia, which were close to the border of the empire and thus had a significant military presence that the tax collectors could fall back on, so the local population had no possibility to push back, entire societies were ended because the Roman publicans collected all children once they reached the age where they could be profitably sold (circa ~10 years or so, and sold usually to sexual slavery), and did so for long enough that the populations collapsed, never recovered, and were eventually replaced by other populations transplanted from elsewhere in the empire. (Later, the power of the publicani was seriously curtailed, in small parts because even the Romans thought that some of their practices were abhorrent. Albeit mostly because of internal power struggles with the senator class.)

So yes, people in the provinces had plenty of reasons to hate the tax collectors.
I think it's a very pertinent question, just like asking someone "Are you happy?".

The definitions of happiness and satisfaction are different for each person, and even for the same person these vary over time, often unpredictably.

I guess this would be the list of questions one should ask herself/himself to measure their job satisfaction. This is the order that applies to me, a middle-aged, married, father of two; the order of questions would be different for others.

1. Do I need to work for money?
- If not, you don't _need_ to work but choose to work.
+ Hence the question of job satisfaction is moot.
- If you're working to earn money, the question of job satisfaction is pertinent.
+ This applies even if you work for yourself or own a business.
2. Am I making enough money to not worry about money?
- If not, I'm not going to be satisfied at the job, irrespective of the all other circumstances at work/office.
- Ask yourself: Am I able to
+ pay my bills
+ support my lifestyle, or lower the cost of lifestyle without too much inconvenience
+ take care of my and loved ones' health, wellness, education, plan for future/retirement, etc.
3. Do my coworkers respect me/my work?
- Coworkers include anyone who you work with: peers, subordinates, managers, their managers, etc.
4. Do I _want_ to do the job?
- You may have started with certain set of expectations, but over time the expectations and preferences change.
5. Am I able to do my job?
- Various circumstances may prevent you from doing your job.
6. Am I able to do my job the way _I_ want to?
- Getting the job done, and getting it done "right" are different things.
- Adjust own expectations and try to understand why your way may not be the best way to do the job.
7. Am I allowed to do new things, if/when I want to?
- If you want to, are you allowed to work outside your defined role?
- Is that work you did outside of your job definition appreciated?

The most efficient way for me, without making a job out of it, is to rely on BBC Radio 6 Music. Across the station's output, varying by show of course, there is a baked in flow of curated new music, and music new to me. Depends entirely on your preferences of course. For me in terms of novelty some highlights are shows "the freakzone" and by djs mary-anne hobbs and tom ravenscroft. Frankly, the djs do the heavy lifting and pre filter for you. On the whole I find a much higher hit rate that way than being left to my own devices.
What % of laptops comes with Nvidia 3090 on them? Really, please, do tell me a number, I’ll wait.
That's cool. Now make it render the effects of a blackhole on a stargate wormhole ala SG-1 episode: "A Matter of Time".
Violence as a tool exclusive to the state is a social construct much like property and so I expect the norms surrounding private property to be maintained like other constructs, through intentioned participation.
When the error margin on the fatality rate was so wide at the beginning it maybe had some value because the worst case was so bad. But now that we have a wealth of data on who the vulnerable are and what's the actual impact the pendulum has shifted, the mounting potential downsides are growing as they were always understood to be and in some places more lock downs are the equivalent to holding back the ocean with a bucket with a hole in it.
Do you mean USB drives? Who has CD drives anymore?
This is significant because the NVIDIA 1050Ti, while way slower than the state of the art, is still the meaningful practical minimum discrete GPU. There’s no 2050 or 3050 - if you go about looking for the cheapest PC suitable for gaming, you might buy a 1050Ti. It is head and shoulders above the integrated GPUs (yes, even the AMD Vega ones), and comparable in power to last-gen (as of last week) consoles, the PS4 and Xbox One S.

This in turn means that every PC and console game created up until now, and probably for the next year or so, will comfortably run on a 1050Ti, even with compromises (“medium” settings, middling resolution like 1080p).

For the first generation of Apple’s Mac GPU, running at 10W, this is a great result. This means, Apples idiosyncrasies aside, there will be no technical problems in porting games to macOS. (Metal is less of a problem than you’d think - if you use Unreal, Unity, DirectX 11/12 or Vulkan for graphics, the work needed will be on the order of a few man/months, which is small change in game development budgets.)
While that's a problem the completely dead US anti monopoly regulations are one that is just as bad. A reminder that Bell labs invented magnetic storage in the 20s and buried it because they thought people wouldn't talk on the phone if they could be recorded.
This annoys me too. Every time I update my phone it asks and doesn’t go away until I go into settings.

Really off-putting and unexpected from Apple.
The realistic threat model for a common person is an agency that doesn't have resources to target them personally but is happy to steal their private data if they can cheaply do it on a mass scale.

Beyond what was mentioned above, some further criticism of the survey acknowledged by the lead researcher himself [1]:

1) low sample size (219 responses)

I think Uber's study of all of its drivers [2] in California provides a more measured picture:

74% of drivers work < 25h/week, but only account for 42% of trips

So, no, the majority of rideshare drivers aren't full-time, but rideshare companies do rely heavily on drivers who are online >25hours/week.

Let's assume that's true.

English characters include vowels with a diaeresis, as Chloë and Zoë for first names, and Brontë for a last name. The New Yorker and a small number of other publications continue to use the diaeresis for words like coördinate. English also uses non-ASCII characters in a number of loan words, like née and açaí.

A quick check of the members of the US House, I see Raúl Grijalva of AZ, Tony Cárdenas, Linda Sánchez, and Nanette Barragán of CA, Jesús "Chuy" García of IL, Ben Ray Luján of NM, Nydia Velázquez and José E. Serrano of NY, and Jenniffer González of PR.

9/438 members is about 1%.

A check of geographical names shows places in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, New Mexico, and elsewhere with non-ASCII characters in them.

That strongly suggests that "(deeply entrenched) national language" of the US does not restrict itself to ASCII letters when it comes to naming, but - like loan words - includes words and orthography from other languages.

Xbox Series X and Playstation 5: early impressions
I see it the other way around: I should do something (for whatever external reason), i can't and now my brain wants to know why.

Thinking through it and telling you that its not worth it because x makes it better to fit my worldview. But it just might not be relevant at all this part of thinking.

For example: I do like learning but i was sitting in school (with >20) and understood the math teacher, after that we should do exercises. I was blocked. Couldn't do it. I was mentally aware of this block. I started talking ritalin. The block was gone.

I realize this block more often and think more about this blockage than calling it perfectionism or realism.

Another example: I started studing after that and realized quite soon that its fun to read through it and learn things and it feels totally broken how much time you have to invest of sometimes finding good explanation for things. And more complex it got, the chance that i started to forget those things after the exam were high. Knowing how aes works step by step vs. having a rough idea. I always can read quickly through wikipedia to remember enough about aes. I wouldn't needed to study for this.

And the balance was very weird. There were clearly lectures which i was able to do by reading and learning for a week before the exam (i already worked professionally at that time so i had experience) which provided very small peaces of insight vs. math lectures which were interesting to hear, frankly useless to learn due to me never needing it in the future and my studies not getting deep enough so those lectures would have mattered.

What matters is bringing home money which means in the first instance a job is critical. I would love to see who i would become and what i would do and how a live would look like if i wouldn't need to work and still have enough resources available. Or if my job would actually matter.
A Matrix Overview
I made such a mistake over 3 years ago. Only found about it 2 years ago. Mostly, I was acting on insufficient information, and a bit of intuition. I identified the kind of error I made, noted what I had to do to avoid a repeat —which never happened since. I fixed then admitted the mistake, a couple days after finding it. It's standard procedure. I could have swept it under the rug, though I never considered it.

There wasn't much drama then. Just some mockery I wasn't even aware of (I didn't follow Twitter). I learned of it one year later, when some institution "awarded" the worst mistakes (they wrote pretty funny piece).

> Yes, there may be some drama, in the short term.

It was the only mistake of any consequence I've made in over 4 years working in this domain. Yet some people still use that one error to publicly question my competence and my ethics. As if they didn't realise the perverse incentives that results from punishing honest disclosure.
Some of those things in Python reflect its history as a better language between Bash and C, and the gotchas of those languages became verboten in Python.

What kind of backend dev work?

I do backend with Python, Julia and PHP.

They all have ARM builds and I’m not expecting issues. I’ve worked with them on ARM and have a few pi’s around running with projects on them.

But it depends on the type of backend work. If you’re using C and assembly and need to target x86, then I can see issues.

Regarding the move, I expect these first ones to be targeted more to regular users and to projects testing their projects on them.

IMO the main reason why things aren’t working on them right now is due to there not being availability and projects not having to move to it yet. But there’s no technical reason why things won’t be ported for them. The ecosystem just needs to grow.
The one where the capitalist system commoditized ownership of assets? So more people own capital than ever before? That one?
What this shows you is that it has become financially unviable for pro audio companies to support Apple.

[1] is practically the same announcement by Avid Pro Tools, which is the standard for Hollywood movie production.

I also have a personal stake in this, because I used to sell pro audio software, including things that integrate with Pro Tools and OS X. We saw the writing on the wall around OS X 10.11 when major studios asked us to support Linux and subsequently bought $40k Linux-based mixing desks.

The fact is that any professional customer that uses NI has jumped ship years ago, so for Native Instruments the Mac market is shrinking in revenue, while growing in costs.

In my case, Windows and Linux are now paying for feature development. We still snort out OSX binaries from an old 10.9 xcode, but those aren't notarized because no paying customer has asked for it yet.

This is what happens if you don't value the time of your third party developers, for example with useless updates and poor documentation. I'm sure Apple will spin this as "the app store provides", but there's only so much work you can put in for a platform with a median lifetime app revenue of <$1000.

In short, professional movie studios have voted with their money, and now the market follows suit by canceling Mac support.
