As the context provides, the critic is simply making a callback to a character from an earlier book written by one of the authors.

It's not actually tempting to use a pseudonym; the critic is trying to add some color to the review.
The Switch is a game console not because of the form factor or because of any particular piece of hardware. It's a game console because I can just take it out of the box, put a game cartridge in and start playing. It's not a BOM thing, it's a UX thing.
One of the few “digital charities” I support through cash donations.

I think Wikipedia is part of the building blocks of the Internet and the last big organization staying true to the internet ideals of community, connectedness, infinite quality information.

I wish there was an equivalent search engine and browser (I don’t think Firefox is the beacon it once was since its incentives are to Google, not community).

At least we still have Wikipedia and Linux.
Of course! The best channels for us have definitely been growing organically through seo-targeted blog posts, productivity communities and comparison sites.

Unfortunately more traffic ≠ more subs.
Eh, it's splitting hairs. Is the Pippin a game console? Is the CD-I? Is the OUYA? Is a PS2 still a game console if you boot Linux? Is a Gameboy with the Workboy keyboard still a game console?

All consoles are at the end of the day general-purpose computers. You're just arbitrarily locked out of using the machine you bought and paid for to run whatever you like.
They probably also learned it from their time in the GPU arena, where such shenanigans have been in play for a long time (although usually moreso by the green team)
Not upset because they choose SSPL but because:

1. Avarice: They rode the FOSS wave and gained industry mindshare for a conveniently long time. Now, after making (well deserved) millions on the back of it, they turn to an absurd license to basically say, fuck you, looser, I need my billions.

2. Hypocrisy: Spinning the whole thing as "doubling down on Open" with a source-available license. One must be so delusional to call out "naysayers" as spreading FUD about SSPL when the fact remains that SSPL is a landmine.

3. Short-termism: It is all fun and games till Elasticsearch is wealthy and healthy. Once some PE firm takes over when they get pushed into a corner, I can see them doing Oracle-esque law suites even if it isn't their current intention.

If their core product was Elasticsearch, they could have SSPLd it from the start. I'd be curious to see where they'd have ended up then. I'd absolutely not have been upset in this scenario.

The current scenario is what we are in, lets see how it pans out.
Using a vaccine which is tested exclusively on young men (which is the normal procedure) on elderly first is yet another inconsistency in the "holy vaccine"-narrative.

Yes, I love the CLI too. It’s quite efficient for many tasks.

However, there are times when I’d like to do it all in the browser too, preferably on a tablet or small laptop.

I won’t be at my most productive, but I’ll likely be sitting in my backyard or in a park.
Hm, I was under the impression that the sturdiness was mostly tied to materials, mainly usage of glass instead of plastic. A lighter phone should at least in theory be less breakable. Bendiness is another thing though.
That is not entirely true... The prevalent chemotherapy is detrimental to cells all over the body and it has no way of distinguishing cancel cells vs non-cancer cells.
Targeted therapies are different and are becoming more widely used but are still small in percentage of patients compared to "classic" chemotherapy.
Let's be clear: despite the implication of the headline, this isn't google planning to stop indexing free resources nor planning to stop offering free searches.

This solely refers to published news which, not surprisingly, many journalists consider the important part of the web.

A common economic aphorism is "if you want less of something, tax it." Google is responding to regulatory+market signals as intended. Other countries have tried the same thing (e.g. Spain) and found that they haven't liked the results.

Separately, the news sites trying to restrict people from forwarding articles in their own feeds is nuts.
I get the sentiment for live performance, but in your own home, I can not relate to this. Vast majority of people in credits are doing a job and getting paid for it, just like any other profession or trade.

We don't pay "respect" to delivery drivers, or to designers and engineers who brings us our gadgets and services in same way. Why should I spend my time and attention on credit rolls? It's not like anyone noticing it.

Every time a post about multiplexers comes up, there is a comment like this. I find it striking that so many people think that their use-case is the only one, and don’t make any effort at all to imagine other cases where the situation might be different.

It’s really not that big if a stretch to see how they would be useful or even necessary when accessing servers (or any machine) remotely. You can have multiple shells and multiple things running, without having to re-login for each separate thing. And for critical processes you need to run, you want some protection to stop them getting killed if there’s a network problem.

They should be solid houses, yes. They aren't always, obviously, but that's the goal.

The term of art for this is permanent supportive housing, which is handy if you want to look for more research and documentation. Seattle currently has 1,900 units (building more this year) and we have a 99%+ success rate at keeping people from re-entering homelessness. Our homeless problem is still awful, but that's because a) pandemic and b) we've been hanging around 10,000 people living on the streets, so the units are a pretty small percentage of what we need.

We're not putting all our housing in one place, which alleviates the stigma problem. There is not a ton of research on the effect supportive housing has on the crime rate nearby, but the research we do have suggests that it's a relatively minor problem that can be solved:

Now imagine that gardeners all use chainsaws. They are very proud of how skilled they are at their chainsaw usage.

A new person comes in, and asks, why on earth do you all use chainsaws for this? Wouldn't it be easier to use more appropriate tools?

And the gardeners immediately call him clueless, make fun of him for not being able to handle a chainsaw, and tell him he will never be a gardener if he can't even figure out how to use a chainsaw.
There are too many layers of abstraction. Each layer has real costs, even if you can't quantify them right now. The whole idea of signing code, for example... is just a response to the weakness of operating systems, not an actual need to run any given program.
The PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series _ are even closer to the average computer with x86 hardware.
There's usually just something missing from sentence e.g. "No politics (that I don't agree with)!" or "That's censorship (when they do it to people I agree with)!"
> the TL;DR is that they are sending VERY tiny payloads over websockets

If you have a server in NY and you happen to live in Germany it's going to take about 100-120ms to do a network round trip in a best case scenario (high quality wired cable connection) even with a 1 byte payload. For most websites running in 1 datacenter that means a massive population of the world is going to feel that latency.

That's why I'm not sold on using LV and websockets for everything (such as transitioning from page A to B, etc.). Hotwire Turbo Drive / Frame uses HTTP which means you can cache responses and send back 304s when the content doesn't change. HTTP feels like the right protocol to do this, and then you can save Websockets for when you need to broadcast relatively small amounts of new / updated / removed content to 1 or more connected clients. That's what the Hotwire model provides.
I use google Keep notes all the time because it syncs and has a fast UI with just the right amount of features, gonna give this a try see how it stacks!
Maybe you could find a cluster of TLDs delegating to each other in a loop. Combined with huge TTLs you might be able to bootstrap a full takeover of a subset of all DNS?
It’s true that VSCode is more than a simple byte changing tool. But the responsiveness is still unacceptable. A game reacts to my input virtually immediately while doing much more. Also, I have yet to see a proof of the increase in development efficiency. Personally, I think we have lowered the bar of entry more than we have increased developer efficiency, it’s follows that we see a decline in software quality.
Candlesticks with Trendlines (The Ultimate Guide to Candlestick Patterns)
These historians of science that technologists avoid consulting in your estimation, are they going to refute the dark ages?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ages_(historiography)

"The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era's "darkness" (lack of records) with earlier and later periods of "light" (abundance of records).[3]"

Not having records being categorized metaphorically as darkness, and more records as "Enlightenment" is pretty high regard for a word used the same way in the contemporary context as something an accountant or dentist keeps in a filing cabinet.

I'd say these "historians of science" you speak of would corroborate that the lost works of Euclid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid

and the near permanent loss of Plato's works to the whole of Europe for hundreds if not over a thousand years as, uh, kind of a big deal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato#Textual_sources_and_hist...
Oh definitely, totally agree the status quo of duplicating logic is unnecessary.

And I realize this is using websockets, and that the payloads are tiny, but you can't fight the speed of light ;), so it's more of a latency concern (vs bandwidth). So in order to truly keep all the state and rendering with the server, even the smallest UI interaction would require a round-trip, and unless you'll have end nodes all across the country, that seems like it will noticeable.

With some actions like "search", "save" or "reload" I would expect a spinner and delay anyway, so that's not a problem. But if opening a dropdown menu or adding an item to a list (like in the example) feels slow that might not be the best user experience. But perhaps it's not a problem in practice, I haven't seen too many examples.
I did the same some months ago - just a heads up that it's not without it's rough edges, but definitely does a near-enough-to-what-i-want job. I've noticed a few unsynced images and am currently struggling to get the android app to stop trying to sync a gigantic folder.
Every linux environment in the world is in disagreement with you.
The current Bitcoin narrative and actual usage does nothing for the "market economy" though. It might have some indirect positive effects by forcing governments to adopt more open policies lest they suffer from capital flight and forming of parallel economies, but that's about it. Decentralized stablecoins on the other hand have great potential to amplify the free market economy.
I see a recent spike in connectivity problems on Downdetector [1]

I kind of get that person's point (although I don't quite understand the tone...). I introduced my wife to LaTeX when she started her PhD because she had very specific typesetting needs like phonetic alphabet and arrows on top of words to indicate intonation. She discovered a wonderful world! But none of that could have been possible if she had had to install a LaTeX distribution and an editor on Windows .

Overleaf (and previously Sharelatex) on the other end makes everything easy. You have the choice between XeLateX, PDFLaTeX, etc., all the useful packages you could dream of, and more, without installing anything. Plus collaborative editing for free, when she needs help with a macro or a new environment definition.

So, yeah, being able to program without having to install a development environment is great. There are tools to do that already, like Repl.it, maybe the OP could try that.
Winter coats very often have upper pockets and they are perfect for big smartphones.
For anyone else who is unfamiliar with “monitor” in this context, found this on Wikipedia:

> Among audio engineers, the term monitor implies that the speaker is designed to produce relatively flat (linear) phase and frequency responses. In other words, it exhibits minimal emphasis or de-emphasis of particular frequencies, the loudspeaker gives an accurate reproduction of the tonal qualities of the source audio ("uncolored" or "transparent" are synonyms), and there will be no relative phase shift of particular frequencies—meaning no distortion in sound-stage perspective for stereo recordings.

> a programming language in which I need only say what I wish done

I like Prolog because it is that language. Other languages you have to write a program telling the machine what to do every step of the way. (Except if the program uses neural nets.)
I don't disagree, but I think you overestimate the ability of people to be careful and aware of their surroundings at all times. Or to even remember that it's an issue. Magnetic fields are invisible. A pacemaker patient I know was unaware of the (potential and low) risk posed by induction hobs. I'm sure this was explained to him, but not everyone is a pacemaker (or magnetic field) expert, nor can we expect everyone to be.

this title made me think this was about a entirely different thing as I have been writing code inside my browser since 2016.
Agreed, the much stronger counterargument is that all major browsers already have JS development environments built in! I am curious to hear why this is not suitable for the author.
But really, What do you need more cpu power on the phone for? email, whatsapp and a browser is about everything I can envision my phone for. Nothing innovative I can think of is going to change anything about what people use and need their phone for. Not that I'm against progress, better screens, lower latencies and faster loading are always appreciated.

Yeah... you're being a bit unkind, but you're not wrong. The author mentions having "failed to install pip" — pip isn't exactly challenging to install. There's a base of important technical knowledge here that they don't have, and any GUI would just be a bandaid which prolongs the period for which they can get by without learning.

You can charge whatever you want, if there is someone that is willing to pay it. You can charge a different rate to each client. (Check what have you signed.)

Yeah, piracy is almost always the better service. How the hell can a bunch of enthusiasts come up with a better service than multi-billion dollar companies? They seriously need to stop and rethink their industry. When I use my Netflix I get a horribly compressed "high definition" picture, annoying autoplaying ads for shows I don't care about and a constantly decreasing amount of content. Piracy offers the opposite of all that: high quality encodes, no bullshit ads anywhere and complete collections of everything.
Looks really nice.

I guess I'm staying with Joplin synced to nextcloud myself after burning myself once or twice and seeing others being burned again and again by hosted services but I think there is absolutely is room for your product.
Pacemakers do need to be serviced and replaced every once in a while, so this isn't end of the world scenario. Even better, stronger magnets would work for both "old" and "new" devices, so no need for two "disable" keys.
Since you were a cancer researcher in a previous life, may I ask you a question I thought of commenting on another's comment?

If cancer cells have high metabolic requirements, couldn't you attack them by:

1. lowering the caloric intake of the patient

2. Making the glucose the patient intakes mildly radioactive, say with a beta or an alpha emitter [1]. As the patient is strictly kept on a low caloric diet, the radioactive glucose is consumed and expelled quickly (i.e. doesn't accumulate in the adipose (?) tissue).

Not so radioactive that the person is harmed but radioactive enough to pack an extra punch to the metabolically starved, and therefore stressed, cancer cells (who are drawing more of the glucose to themselves).

That should target cancer more specifically, and I guess it can be done in tandem with other techniques.

Is something similar done? I know that's how cancer is imaged, and the way I see it (I studied optics in a previous life) if you can image it, you should be able to destroy it.

[1] Say replacing the hydrogens in glucose with tritium. Hydrogen hopping will ensure that the water produced by metabolizing the sugar is homogeneously mixed, and therefore expelled with all the water loss mechanisms. According to wikipedia, TO2 has a half life of 12 days. I'd imagine you can lower that by pumping fluids into the patient.
> they usually say something like “why do you need a faster phone....my midrange 3 year old android phone is blazingly fast

Yes, there aren't a lot of valid reasons to spend over ~200 Euro for a phone these days (unless you're tech enthusiast).

If the naming of the path is where you are hanging the crux of your argument about how "bad" things are, then you are not making a terribly convincing argument.
There's no "avg transaction fee". The transaction fee is derived from the deposit amount, and it's you who chooses the deposit amount (from ~$0.01 to $500) when creating a new rePOWCHA. The deposit amount isn't a fixed $5 that you see on the front page.

What you may be asking is, why is there any fee if there was no abuse. Maybe there shouldn't be. I'm open to removing it.

The practical cost right now is small, since the service just started 2 days ago and has few users. I don't know if the service will be sustainable at scale if there's no abuse. Maybe there will be enough abuse that the service will be sustainable from the 1% "abuse" fee. There would have to be some way for the service to pay for itself.

As a user, a bigger issue may be that the mere thought the user won't have 100% of their deposit refunded may deter them from using the service. I'm more inclined to remove the "no abuse" fee for this reason.

On the other hand, as a web app that integrates rePOWCHA and with a large userbase, the web app may want to monetize this user interaction.

So I don't know what will work best. There's probably a balance there.

Since the fee seemed rather expensive to you, what fee structure would you suggest for the "no abuse" case?

more responsive than VSC in almost all scenarios.

What are those stupendously complex features that somehow make a

you think Eclipse has a good reason to start so slowly, on a
