You’re right - one of the great unheralded achievements of modern computing is that most people can run all the applications they need (of which there are more, all of them more powerful than ever before), all at the same time, on a middle of the road laptop, and never have to think about it. You launch them once, when your computer starts, and that’s it.

Office, Excel, Figma, 5 other web-apps, Slack, 30+ websites, Spotify - no problem.
People who are scared of dying can stay indoors and take rushed vaccines if they want, that doesn’t justify corrupting the law and trampling on everyone’s human rights.

Consumers can only choose from what options they're given, and if every option is leaded then that's what they'll buy. Also, if they're unaware of the negative effects of lead (or even unaware that their gasoline HAS lead) then there would be no incentive for them to choose what they're told is a worse product. This was before the internet, so it was difficult and time-consuming to do research on something like this. Gas companies said leaded gasoline was safe so everyone went with it.

The government's job here is to do that tedious research and ban/regulate anything that's hazardous to health and safety. The alternative would be a grassroots campaign by citizen experts who decide to go against the advice of what should be trusted sources, which is how you end up with stuff like the anti-vax movement.

You're ignorant of the fact that Christian is an extremely broad label with the only commonality being a belief in Jesus (and study or worship of his life and teachings), that's fine and can be corrected by learning or just asking people in, or familiar with those communities.

As I said, Christian is a pretty broad label not to be confused with the more narrowly defined Catholic Church, which is strictly against IVF[1]. Many of the Protestant Christian churches don't prohibit it, a non-exhaustive list here[2].

I'm not aware of any non-Apple facetime clients. Are your friends and family all locked in to Apple just because nobody wants to try a different chat app? I know plenty of people who don't have any facetime client whatsoever because they don't have any Apple products whatsoever. I suggest that "nobody else you know" wants to migrate to new chat software because nobody's asking them to.

Nextcloud, Matrix, Discord, Signal, Telegram, Skype, Zoom, hell even Pidgin. These are all competitors to Apple's Facetime -- they all have voice and/or video chat on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, iOS.

Here, let me help you start the conversation that way:

You also save clock cycles by avoiding the extra calculation each time you compute 2pi or whatever by defining TWO_PI once. So it was lot more common in Fortran and C programming days.
Indeed, and I won't be surprised to hear that the other advertised benefit of http/2 and beyond (avoid head of line blocking) turns out to be marginal at best, and just as difficult to take advantage of. I've got to ask, what was all the buzz about then, and why was it necessary to "improve" a simple text protocol into a giant ball of binary protocols replacing and circumventing regular TCP/IP. In combination with subverting web standardization, I can only assume it was a deliberate effort to deprive the web of its open nature, by making it so fscking complicated that only Google is capable to implement it. Same with Kubernetes, which turns out just as the one ring to bind them all, and enslave humanity into "the cloud". I have a suspicion a coming generation will not look favorably to Google tech in a post-SV era, who managed to subvert RFC and just about every other org we had to keep the net sane.

Browsers seem to be one of the few apps where they compete on speed. I remember Firefox was peeled out from the Mozilla browser and liking it because it was much faster and lighter.

Similar to the quote about Chrome in the article, speed came up quite a bit when Safari was developed almost a decade before Chrome.

The article shows how competition and increased demand drop the solar and wind price. How obvious when you think about it, technologies that are based on building plants have limited competition, or even legislation that prevents competition, so there is no similar drive for price. While panels can be made anywhere and installed by normal people.

Interesting, my first inclination is to be skeptical that the property would still hold, since we're "potentially" slicing up a necessary sequence and adding 2s in the middle.

However infinities are weird* and I think you could construct a proof by contradiction making use of the fact that a sequence of N digits is embedded in infinitely many longer sequences most of which that won't have been broken up by the inserted 2s.

* I'm always skeptical when dealing with infinities and probabilities. Human intuition doesn't gel well with either concept.
I think in this case it’s the opposite. At least back in the day when I worked on this the chrome team (or parts of the team) tried to introduce this feature but it never caught on so now they kill it.

Overall I think this is good. Experiment and try new stuff, but if it doesn’t work out kill it off at some point.

That and the cost of distractions waiting for a build. I used to work in a place where a build would take 3-4 minutes. In practice, it often took 15 as I went to Reddit or Hacker News or chatted with a co-worker and then had to remember what it was I was doing.

> But doing the same thing should never become slower

But none of the described software is doing the same thing it was before. This author is saying "well, you know, it's still a photo editor, same thing" and "well, you know, it's still a web browser, same thing". But those are gross oversimplifications of how a major piece of software evolves over the course of a decade.
This is an extremely broad claim, do you have anything to back that up with?

Saying that Google would snoop your personal phone (which doesn't have your Google work account) as a Google employee needs some hard facts to back that up.

I don't, but the government does if they are doing so in a harmful way that violates laws and agreements.

Again, I don't think anything of the sort. I didn't say that. And they aren't being punished for being "too good" at what they do. They are, or will hopefully be, punished because they are good but then they abused that to be even better. It's the abuse that's the problem.

Just to pile on, and as an excuse to share one of the funniest lines I’ve read on the Internet, let me tell you about an online exchange that would play well here.

A Russian poster was discussing a Russian word that had no English translation...I forget the exact word, so let’s say it was быть. Another poster asked the Russian how to pronounce the word. The Russian’s response? “быть”. A sharp wit is always welcome, especially if it comes from “a good place”.
> Not 4% of 1, but 4% of α.

I know. But which direction? Higher, lower, or both? If it's 4% in both directions that's quite a coincidence.

And since we're talking about percentages of α, I will emphasize that going from .007 to .1 is a change of well over a thousand percent. That example is the exact opposite of the anthropic principle showing that we "could not exist if its value were much different"!

I was the only one using Linux (read: sub-par HW acceleration coupled with less-beefy HW) with Chrome with a user-facing web-app at a previous employer. I noticed that the UI was janky on scroll, and when I opened DevTools/Rendering/Paint Flashing I realised everything was being repainted on scroll. The culprit ultimately was a JS library deep down in the frontend that had this unintended side-behaviour. None of the UI devs ever noticed it because on their 15" MBPs on OS X everything ran "smooth enough".

I think that's part of the argument for this, yes–a company that doesn't provide their developers with the best tooling is hurting themselves because they're wasting their developer's time. But I'll argue that the opposite can be true as well! By using a machine that is far removed from what your customers are on, can you really test their user experience?

And, this is a personal anecdote of course, but sometimes having fast machines can paper over problems that you should really be addressing: I had a coworker once who temporarily used a fairly (~7 years) old machine to do their development work until they could get something newer to work on. During that time I noticed that they would take a while to make minor fixes after reviews. I asked them why and they told me that they would make the change and then they'd build it and it was taking dozens of minutes–it turns out that there was a creeping dependency tracking issue in the build process that nobody had bothered to address yet because it didn't seem like a huge issue on our normal machines. But fixing it certainly got his turnaround time way up, and the CI machines really liked the change too ;)

>I'm not sure what can be done to fix it.

Regulations which require engineers or their union representatives to sit on the corporate board of directors.
I think one needs to differentiate between building and manually testing the app. Running the build on a fast machine greatly benefits the development cycle while the tests are harmed because you don't test close to your users.
I don't think they did. Rick Rolling is fairly common- the commenter you replied to suggested "Careless Whisper" in addition to the Rick Roll because it would be a careless whisper that would cause the Rick Roll to play.

> The fact that Wall St misprices them gives them the money to buy potential competitors early.

Facebook produced nearly $70 billion in operating income for fiscal years 2017-2019. They don't require their stock to be priced to a high multiple to buy competitors and they haven't been using that approach to competition since Instagram (2012) & WhatsApp (2014) - because they know they can't.

They didn't require their stock to buy either Instagram or WhatsApp. Instagram only cost a billion dollars. As it turns out, using stock was a large mistake as it pertains to the owners of the company; the cash equivalent is ~1/10th as valuable as the shares used to buy Instagram turned out to be and Facebook will just keep piling up cash they can't spend. Facebook has been wildly profitable since fiscal 2009, when their profit margin hit 29%. They've had a giant pile of cash throughout much of their history, courtesy of considerable venture capital backing and reaching profitability 4-5 years after their founding.

> And indeed, the success of Tik Tok stands as a demonstration that their strategy of "buy every potential competitor for more than anyone else is willing to pay" is doomed to failure in the end.

That approach would work perfectly fine in fact, as it always does, were Facebook still allowed to buy a company like TikTok. They're not allowed to buy large competitors any longer due to government competition concerns. If they were, Pinterest would not be an independent entity at this point.

They could acquire Pinterest and shut them down. Then buy Snapchat and shut them down. Then buy Twitter and shut them down. One after another, trivially. It would dramatically bolster their monopoly position. Regulators would never allow it and everyone - without exception - knows it.

It saves google a very large amount of money if every chrome browser opens http3 connections to google.com on startup instead of the layered stack. You don’t see much of an effort to deprecate the layered stack and in my opinion that’s because standardizing http3 is enough to lower their costs, what other server hosts do is irrelevant to their bottom line.
