I remember I was sad the day Nintendo ruthlessly shut down "Chrono Resurrection"[0] (a fanmade 3d remake of Chrono Trigger). I mean, from a IP standpoint I get why they do it but... it also burns your most loyal fans. Despite the abuse, Nintendo's fans are still as avid as ever, but now fan projects have to be made entirely in secret and then explosively released so that Nintendo can't shut it down before it gets traction (see: AM2R [1], Full Screen Mario, etc.). I just can't believe how hostile Nintendo is to its fans - from C&Ds to fanmade games to heavy handed streaming rules on YouTube...

I mean, I still love their games but if they just muzzled their lawyers a bit they would be one of the most loved companies on the planet.

Not in spirit, but say China doesn't need any "data superpower" to make US spies to work their pay.

I'm 100% certain that China has many more spies in US than vice versa, and that America haven't ever penetrated into serious high up Chinese elites, whether they were corrupt, or not because of Chinese secret police.
If you’re into this type of engineering check out “stuff made here” or “BPS Space”.
I believe they make 3-5% margin for a $30-$50 profit on the hardware in that example. They literally cannot afford that extra $15 unless they raise the price $15 and then they have to worry about whether a value conscious buyer buys their slightly cheaper alternative.

Keeping in mind this is for a feature that most people actually don't care about.
I was shocked when he spoke at my commencement, I was already a fan but felt like I was the only one there that knew who he was. He was extremely unpretentious and just wanted to joke the whole time. I remember reading how his family only gradually became aware of his celebrity in the technical world.
I often write a loop recur that I will later turn into a map reduce as you say.
It took a decade for the industry to realize that JS frameworks were overhyped and the degraded productivity because of them was not worthy. I think they will be replaced by Hotwire-like technologies in the next decade.

The same thing will happen to micro services (especially, distributed monolith) and Kubernetes. They are just overhyped.

Productivity matters most!

"Stealing is just another way of earning". This is some seriously odd mental gymnastics.
I'd spend money on high quality videos (e.g. buying an egghead subscription was well worth the money a couple of years ago for me because there wasn't anything that came close to that resource at the time), but I doubt I'd really spend $250 on stuff that (at least from the subject titles + video descriptions) seems to be very general/somewhat intro level material. Then again, I don't think I'm the intended audience here :/

Unfortunately I have to disagree - if there weren't any engineers around to implement the dark patterns they wouldn't be as prevalent. Maybe this calls for an equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath but in the tech world?
Are you using the reddit re-design? Because don't.
I chuckled when I read "traditional singe page application". Anyone else share the sentiment?
The article says exactly why they moved to microservices: too many teams were deploying the monolith and it slowed them down.

The article also says why they are moving back to a monolith: the services in question are legacy and being replaced, and only one team is maintaining them, so the reason they moved to microservices no longer applies. In addition, combining the services makes their lives easier enough that it’s worth it from their perspective.

Your aggressive tone and assumption that they didn’t have good reasons for what they’re doing is why I said you were “rushing to express superiority.”
Where does this fit with the recently hot SSG/SSR projects like Gatsby and Next.js?
Yes, at my previous gig Miro replaced all collaborative, whiteboarding, brainstorming, mind mapping and presentation software except for MS Teams. Even powerpoint was replaced.

Ask for a fair buyout in the form of an IOU. They can pay it when they have more cash or default when they fold. You've locked them in to sticking with the work that you have done by dint of the SEO juice. If they want to reap the benefits of that, they have to compensate you commensurate to what was agreed.
Just pull fiber and you or the next owner won't have to worry about it in the next 50 years. You can buy pre-terminated or use quick connectors. Most don't realize that fiber is cheaper to produce than copper; the expense comes from the fancy SFP switches and routers.

Wireless is horrible. In urban settings, the RF pollution will lead to all kinds of misery. If you are doing anything important with the connection, it must be wired. It's also bad security because I can drive by in a van and knock out your whole block's internet connections because so many people equate internet with WiFi.
See that's the problem. It takes a hugely asymmetrical effort to counter obvious bullshit than to spew it.
Oh that's great. At one point I wanted to use SSS just for two out of three. I can't believe it never occurred to me to just say "if you're pairing with Jack, xor his number with this one." It's even simple enough to do by hand.
Great story, but it can’t happen today. No janitor works for the company whose floors he’s mopping anymore, so janitors wouldn’t get that company-wide email.
> The beauty of America is that if you don't like your system of government, you can always move to another state.

Or you can enact the changes you want - that’s why Congress exists, to change the existing laws

Also found it interesting that, like the author, you also advocate moving to another state “if you don’t like the system of government”
Rober just put out a new video with version 3.0 of his Glitter Bomb, and the engineering is seriously impressive. I’m sure he gets lots of help on his projects from others at this point, but I still have a lot of admiration for this guy.

The video is pretty funny, too!

Ah... simple back office crud coding. My favourite type of coding.
>No, in general crypto technology is valuable because it can avoid laws created by constitutional democracies. Its a back door for money launderers and illegal payments.

It's also valuable for that, but I argue it has greater value in legal transactions that currently must operate through said gatekeepers who impose extralegal restrictions.

YouTube could buy ads from a source which isn't Google. It's not immediately obvious that YouTube which uses full video ads is best served by getting ads from a company that focuses on text ads (Google) or banner ads (Google's DoubleClick).

Gmail could charge for account features like Yahoo mail and Fastmail do.

Android could be legitimately open source, like Linux is. Or they could sell carrier specific distributions, which is something carriers are doing themselves right now but badly.

Chrome would need to operate under the aegis of some company, but that needn't be the same company that runs Google search and Google ads. If that were the case, their abusive ad experiences code may actually be good and not merely reflect a desire to destroy ad companies that aren't Google's DoubleClick. Chrome could also then allow browser login integration into other companies. I'd prefer of Chrome integrated with my Apple accounts, not my Google accounts for example.

Ads itself could be split into two companies---Google search ads (which may or may no be owned by Google search), and DoubleClick which was its own company to begin with before Google bought them.
> Creativity is near impossible to teach

After "Borrowing Brilliance: The Six Steps to Business Innovation by Building on the Ideas of Others" I'm not so sure about that.

The idea this book talks about - I think central, but not the only one - is that creativity at least closely related to combinations and transfer between fields.
This is clearly marketing, and clearly good one.

From what I can tell, it's a course that was mostly produced by someone else and will be delivered by someone else, but they recorded Mark Rober - the guy famous on YouTube for glitterbombing people - as the instructor. But their FAQ already states that he will "be able to" look at what students are doing and "may occasionally [..] give feedback", so most likely he won't be around to run the course.

Also, from watching the videos, I had the impression that the technical work is mostly done by other people, e.g. the famous glitterbomb was built by Sean Hodgins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpMxOmUcfOI

So first and foremost, it appears that Mark Rober is a great showman and a great narrator. Plus he's collaborating with people like Mr Beast who have the power of a skilled agency behind them (nightmedia.co) to produce just the right narrative to go viral. And his first videos appear to be sponsored by a marketing agency.

So I'm not surprised that this course is hyped up and not actually done by Mark Rober. I'd treat this more as a case study on how to perfect your social marketing ;)

That said, their core promise of building 3 own projects within 30 days sounds reasonable if they have skilled instructors running the course. And the price seems reasonable for such a learning experience. When I was younger, my dad built some technical projects with me. Over the course of a weekend, I would learn more about electrics and physics than in a year in school. And once you built something that actually works in the real world, you'll never go back to observing technology as a passive bystander. That attitude change alone might be worth the $250.

Plus, I believe Mark Rober to be a great showman. This course will likely be entertaining to watch, and paced just like a good movie.
> a very strong negotiating position and economies of scale

Pretty sure that the US Federal government is the most indebted entity on the planet, and they'd be subject to exactly the same forces that have currently made them upregulate the cost of healthcare.

There is no reason to think they'd use a good bargaining position to bring down costs - the US Federal government is the most cost insensitive entity in history. And a free market is totally capable of finding economies of scale if it is cheaper.
It's a little more complicated than that. As they described it, they own 40%, but if they leave early the company has the right to buy back certain numbers of the shares at the original price. The one year cliff suggests that at this point, the company can buy back everything, but in another month, they will have 10% that's not touchable.
I find myself aligning closely with Bill Gurley on this since it sure seems like Wall St. is just siphoning value off of their mispricing of tech IPOs. Bill's been a huge advocate of change and he's really enthusiastic about this, so seems like a really positive change:

I agree with this sentiment. "Dark Hero of the Information Age" https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Hero-Information-Age-Cybernetics... lays out how both Weiner and Shannon created information theory independently but Weiner took it further; incorporating feedback as a way of lowering the entropy and helping lay the path for today's ML revolution. The book goes on to lay out how Weiner's growing popularity in the Soviet Union and socialist views (he feared automation leading to unemployment) led to the blacklisting of his contributions within the academic community. Its no wander that the first trained Deep (more than three layers) Neural network with published in a Soviet Cybernetics journal in 1970.
Never underestimate the ability of enthusiasts to defend giant corporations. For example, all discussion of this leak has been banned and scrubbed from the two biggest gaming forums on the internet (/r/games and ResetEra).
You have the benefit of hindsight at this time. You can draw parallel to history of flight and all the crazy contraptions that people attempted. Great technology can emerge from the combination of numerous shit shows. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
>Whatever democracy we have depends on how well organized the general population is against elite political factions

If the people making up the democracy are too naïve and uneducated to defend against external and internal threats then democracy will fail. Reality is that which happens regardless of your political beliefs.
Modern conservatives loves to spend taxpayer money right up until they are out of office. Not a peep about the budget deficits the past 4 years, but now suddenly it matters again.
> If he's leaving less than a year in and his partner has the contractual authority to sever his employment, what he actually has is zero.

FWIW that's only true if he was being paid at least minimum wage. Otherwise he would be entitled to some equity even if he didn't hit his cliff.
Did Nintendo also lobby hard to get copyright laws extended and push for harmful DRM? Disney just doesn't protect it's assets, it steals from the public and pushes for bad laws. I'm not aware of Nintendo doing similar things which is why they rank higher in my book.

I got a chuckle out of Apple M1 chip touting having shared video memory as a big step forward. (Which it is, but is still amusing to me how it might have sounded like a groundbreaking innovation to a layperson.)
> In many ways, yes. In a lot of ways the ethernet standards of today are basically the same thing that we've had since like 2000.

10Gbe is readily and widely available these days, even in consumer space, and the top end is pushing 400Gbps ethernet. For reference, 10Gbe over baset was standardized in 2006, so I'd say we have come pretty far from the turn of millennium.
Is it really a pendulum, or is it more that this was always an idea with merit that's now finally seeing wider adoption because it's become more widely available? (In part, I understand, due to some IBM patents that expire 10 or so years ago)
Have you considered Clojure Protocols for this?
I was just providing an example of the different products vs a geographical split. How things actually are split would be up in the air.

Of course YouTube would need ads. My point was that YouTube doesn't need to be in the same company as search, not that YouTube doesn't need ads. The ad network would likely need to be split into the new companies that are formed so all the parts that need their own ad network could have it.

Chrome likely could not survive on its own unless search paid for it like they do with Firefox. I am not sure all the products/services that Google has and their individual ability to survive without Google. That is something that would need to be determined by the people involved with a breakup.
I would point out that those are older also tend to write off the younger. I think it's just perspective mismatch; If I can emulate another person's perspective in my head, I can anticipate their decisions (and reasoning), so I can decide if they are being reasonable.

However if I can't understand their perspective, I have a very hard time in understanding and judging their reasonableness (because I'm basing my judgement solely off of my own experiences and memories that are similar to their circumstances).

This lack of understanding translates to seeing a lack of credibility in them. "Maybe if they were more like me, they'd make more sense, be more reasonable". This type of thinking is common in most types of prejudice.

It's why young people write off older people: "They're too older to remember what it's like being my age, or to understand how things are now".

Why the opposite occurs: "They're still too young to understand how life works yet".

Why people of very different cultures tend to be prejudiced: "Their kind are ignorant of how the world works", and the opposite: "They've never been through what I've been through, they don't understand me or mine".

All of these statements evaluate down to: "If they were more like me, they would be reasonable". Which is of course true, if "they" were more like "you", their systems of reasoning and value be more similar to yours, and vice versa.
>Being a QA is the most thankless way of making the world better imaginable.

As a fellow dev, you might be getting ahead of yourself. I think there are plenty more professions that go thankless and that are actually making the world a better place.

I hope this doesn't offend you but the thankless garbage men or street cleaners on my neighborhood have a bigger impact on my life than the people who do QA on the apps I use on a daily basis.

If github, slack and outlook stop working I basically have that time off and go outside for a coffee. If my garbagemen stop picking up my smelly garbage, then I'm gonna have a pretty bad day.

Again, no offense, just stating the facts.
Disclaimer: I am intensly cranked out about such things. My apology as first line of defense is that denial can be a form of sorrow, but I refuse to believe I were in denial. I frequently do get things mixed up, and I may be gullable, and I believe it generalizes that most people are. So what might appear as history revisionism is really only the outflow of weariness about the same. Also, I tend not to read up because of lack of interest paired with distrust.

tl;dr.: Atahualpa was taken to Spain on his own wishes, for having done a great job, what ever job this may have been. The rest of your account may well be a folk believe. Elvis is alive!
It's not about whether competition exists, it's about whether you are using your market position to unfairly squelch it. In Google's case, I would say, definitely.
I agree with the need of standardization. But it’s just that I find the above mentioned libraries “hyper declarative” approach more in line with an HTML centric philosophy than the logic in a JS controller approach of Stimulus.
What data do you want? Look at the way people change their answers to whether or not they support Medicare For All based on how the question is phrased, or support for the Affordable Care Act [1]. What you are asking for is asinine. The data is the results of elections. You are the one who has provided no evidence for your claim.

If you think what someone answers to an opinion poll matters here, you're just wrong. Show me people voting based on these issues as a primary factor and not seeing results because politicians magically change their minds after winning.

"economic elite" is literally defined as anyone in the top 10% of income by that study. Guess what income group always votes? Those same people. And they're going to be the ones pressing for action the most. [2] And they are more educated, so it's stupid to compare public opinion like this. You need to compare expert consensus to policy and public opinion.

Not to mention the Electoral College and Senate.

What data do you expect?

That's why I said "effective." The military supply chain really isn't multi-purpose, at least in the US and Western Europe. The technology, while having come similarity with consumer goods really is in a different class. As a jobs program, it's fine; kind of like how NASA treats the space program.

The exact flavor isn't important. What is important is that he identified an unserved, high-potential, market and put together what was basically a minimum viable product. I'm sure it needed massive refinement, but that shortcoming is a normal piece of any product development.
Not OP but my guess is that he is referring to what happens after you finish your platoon leader time and basically wait around to go to the career course. You spend a lot of time pulling "staff duty" (think "Officer of the Watch" or something if a Naval reference is more familiar), where you're the representative of the Commander during off-duty hours. It's a time of extreme boredom, and a lot of lieutenants start experiencing FOMO for the first time since the "exciting" part of your career (being a PL in combat) is over.
> it's by no means the necessary outcome of using "ridiculous libraries and frameworks," and not even a particularly common one

The real world disagrees with you; go check out any major website and observe as your laptop's fans spin up.

However I think the main problem here isn't the symptom (websites are bloated) but the root cause of the problem. I'm not sure if it's resume-driven-development by front-end developers or that they genuinely lost the skill of pure CSS & HTML but everyone seems to be pushing for React or some kind of SPA framework even when the entire website only needs a handful of pages with no dynamic content.
I think the only solution that really works will be EInk boards the same size as real whiteboards. I have tried a ton of software solutions but in the end they all have a working area that’s too small and are clunky to use.
George Hotz: what is programming?
I've been using this terraform provider quite a lot lately. It has made it a cinch to templatize a full manifest and pass data to the template for a deploy. We now have a fully reproducible base EKS cluster deploy done with working cert-manager/letsencrypt, nginx ingress, weave-net, fluentd logging to elasticsearch service, etc. Our application-specific code lives in a different repo and deploys things using YTT. It's so much more elegant than our old method of copying and pasting manifests and crossing our fingers and hoping the cluster didn't fall down. A full migration to a new cluster and deploy of a whole new application stack takes under an hour now.

Do they actually enforce that, if the device can either have a proprietary blob that is user-updateable, or a proprietary blob that is not user-updateable, it must use the design where the proprietary blob is user-updateable? Because other claims by the FSF (namely, that non-updateable blobs can be treated as part of the hardware) directly contradict that.

> suing literally everyone who even thinks about emulation

This misleading claim is patently untrue. Dolphin has thrived for years.

Nintendo goes after hackers/crackers and ROM hosts. They legally don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to clean-room emulation, so they don't bother.

They also, to my mind, haven't gone after people who just download ROMs, which puts them on higher moral ground than the RIAA and MPAA of which Disney is apart.
