Nah.

Java applets involved running an actual JVM on every client computer, which meant basically doubling the risk surface of the browser... plus you had a completely different UI (that couldn't match the browser UI) sitting inside a web page.

I confess I wrote a bunch of Java applets back in the day; but I can't say I'm surprised they died, and I don't think they'll be back.
Exactly my experience. Most Java code base end up using all kind of clever tricks like you said, runtime reflection, bytecode manipulation, source code pre-processing/generation, pushing all logic to configuration, abuse of compiler annotations, etc.

These actually create a bigger disaster, because unlike Lisp macros or higher order functions, they have even less structure, and are completely non-standard. I'd rather people use well thought out mechanism for extension and "cleverness" than some poor ad-hoc variant to do the same.

You make a good point, I did say that! I do believe that you shouldn't be forced to do business with someone. And it doesn't matter if they're black, white, disabled, Nazi, Muslim, etc. But it does matter if the reason you don't want to do business with them is because of racism, sexism, agism, etc. If I all the sudden only want to do business with 100 people and I'm currently doing business with 200. I can randomly select 100 people and punt them. I don't need a reason. I can punt the least profitable. I can punt them because of alphabetical order. But it would be unfair and immoral of me to punt them because they are black or disabled.

In the case of Facebook, they're just offering people a free space to post stuff. They're not obligated to continue to that forever. They don't need a good reason to punt you. But their are situations where they could have a bad reason.

The question is, is this topic a bad reason to punt people? Given the low obligation that Facebook has to host anything -- I don't think so.

Maybe.

As other people have mentioned, film can degrade over time, and can be destroyed via negligence or accident. Archives occasionally catch on fire, destroying old masters.

It also depends how it was produced. In the 1970s some shows were recorded directly onto tape for the sake of cost and convenience. It wasn’t uncommon for tapes to be wiped and reused to save more money, which is why a bunch of original Dr Who episodes are missing. If the show was shot on film, then it’s more likely that masters or high quality prints survived, since it’s not possible to reuse the film.

The British vaccine is being rolled out by public bodies and is working pretty good indeed (half a million doses a day).

This is the right way to look at this. Before even counting the regulatory credits, Tesla’s gross margin on their cars is the best in the industry. That means their cars are profitable on their own.

Their gross revenue is ~5% from regulatory credits. Which are not 100% profit by the way, because they had to build things to get those credits.

What the credits are doing is financing Tesla’s rapid expansion while allowing them to maintain positive net income.

Amazon, for instance, just maintained negative net income for decades to finance their growth. Tesla is doing it with the regulatory credits instead.

Shorts like to say that Tesla is “structurally unprofitable” because they finance future growth with regulatory credits and stock issuance.

What’s actually happening is that TSLA is growing at a 50% CAGR and that will absolutely increase current year expenses.

The fact that they can grow 50% YoY while maintaining a net profit building automobiles is nothing short of incredible.

It can be a combination. Often it honestly depends on both sides of the project.

I've seen projects where bad requirements led to cost overruns and/or delays due to required rework.

I've seen projects where due to bad/strict requirements the customer's product basically became the 'learning platform' for a team to use 'the hot new web ui framework toolchain' of the year. I made sure to completely forget what I 'learned' about react/redux after leaving that gig.

I've also seen projects where the contract house threw bodies on that didn't even know the language used. I've seen horror story houses that are code-genies that overcharge to give you exactly what you didn't want.

But in this case My guess it would be a combination of requirements fustercluckery alongside what sounds like an integration nightmare; from my time working in an environment where we had to do a lot of 'etl loads' from different partners and/or acquisitions, you see a lot of snowflake cases.
> Well, if they work, pay taxes, can have a driver licence... Yes they will get citizenship after 5 years of residency.

As far as I can tell, it is eight years of legal residency. You also must not be dependent on welfare, which implies that you're either already wealthy, dependent on someone, or you have permission to work. Very similar to the US.

So effectively you have to apply for a work visa just like in the US, you can't just walk in and expect to be tolerated - unless you're a refugee.
Yes, I get you now. Agree about the verbosity issue, although, interestingly, it did not bother me at all in Pascal, which I learned as my 2nd language or so, before C.
Noticed it even in the syntax of BCPL (C's grandpa), and, IIRC, BLISS, and of course Eiffel. The 2nd- and 3rd-last above were before my time, only read about them in books. I like Eiffel for many reasons, though. A real pity it did not get more popular.

At least on my Gen8, most of the noise comes from the 1U-size power supply. I swapped that out for a PicoPSU with an external solid-state power brick and now you can’t hear it at all unless you put your ear right up next to it. (Well, the power brick that comes with the kit has a high-pitched coil whine that you can hear when it’s quiet, but it’s just an ordinary 12v supply so you can replace it with a better one if that’s a problem.)
> But even if you are, it's important to realize that the eventual winners of this scenario aren't going to be the Redditors holding on to $GME shares, but the wealthy short-sellers who manage to either predict the pop or simply have enough assets to hold on long enough for it to happen.

What the hell are you talking about? The short sellers are literally losing tens of billions of dollars, and I believe they are going to lose several times more within the next week.

The short sellers are overleveraged right now, and unless they find some bullshit way to fuck everybody (people are switching away from RobinHood in droves) then they are going to not just lose more money, but go insolvent.

I don't know what's going to happen, and rumors are Melvin is about to get a giant capital infusion, but it really seems like the short sellers are the ones that are fucked and believing otherwise is ignoring data and simply assuming nothing ever changes. The fact that they're doubling down is a sign of desperation, not strength. It's like saying Lehman Brothers can never lose money in 2008.

> safety, and substantially cheaper than a sat phone

I agree that it's a really cool project but I personally would not use it as a primary safety mechanism.

I've got a ham radio license and I see the same mistake with people who think a 5W VHF handheld or 10W HF radio will help them in dire straights. HF isn't reliable enough and all it takes is a little terrain to block VHF. You're also not guaranteed that there's even anyone on the other side of the radio if you really need help.

I would recommend a SPOT or inReach as a your primary safety device with this as a (neat) backup. All they need is a line of sight to the sky which is much easier to do than either LoRA, VHF or HF.

[edit]

If you want a good idea of the limits of LoRA Ars did a pretty good write-up a few years ago: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/10/lostik-usb-lora-radi... . You'll see that even in a few mile radius there's plenty of places where even a high-end LoRA device drops out because very few radios can go directly through terrain(if you're curious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through-the-earth_mine_communi... covers some aspects).

It is a really cool modulation for low power but it's still subject to the physics of radio propagation.

Everyone involved in the drafting has been through the OSI license process---or some ever-changing version of it---before. Last we discussed, nobody wanted to do that process again, even for an uncontroversial permissive license.

IMO, it's similar to something like institutional racism. There probably are very few people who are openly and unashamedly racist at the highest levels of power (although sadly not zero) - but all it takes is the current players acting in their own self interest to keep perpetuating an extremely unfair and totally rigged system. Basically what MLK described in his Birmingham jail letter. (and to be clear, I think both of us are on the same page)

But I would say - their underlying intentions are absolutely and totally irrelevant to the discussion. The only thing that matters is that they acted in a way that boosted Wall Street at the expense of retail traders, and thus they are perpetuating a corrupt system, whether they feel like they are or not.

Germany did colonize Africa and committed its fair share of attrocities in Namibia, but the colonies were taken away after WWII - way before the African independence movement took hold (which was immediately followed by an uptick of citizens in those former colonies migrating to colonial powers)
ZX Spectrum Next: The Evolution of the Speccy
"Decades have come and gone and the Speccy is still alive and kicking. New games are being launched all the time, the demoscene carries on pushing the hardware limits to the unimaginable, artists keep on creating great 8-bit eyecandy and music with it. Alongside this there are thousands of awesome games in the back catalogue to play.

Meanwhile hardware hackers around the world have expanded the ZX Spectrum to support SD card storage, feature new and better video modes, pack more memory, faster processor… Problem is, these expansions can be difficult to get hold of, and without a standardised Spectrum, no one knows what to support or develop for.

Here is our answer: The Spectrum Next – an updated and enhanced version of the ZX Spectrum totally compatible with the original, featuring the major hardware developments of the past many years packed inside a simple (and beautiful) design by the original designer, Rick Dickinson, inspired by his seminal work at Sinclair Research."

> Robinhood is an awful and dangerous business and business model.

That's why I scratch my head over this. It's not difficult to open a Vanguard or Fidelity account and be able to get better pricing on retail trades, even if you're paying a little up-front for certain trades. Nobody who's trying to invest in the stock market can sincerely believe the Robinhood trades are "free."

And Fidelity (for example) allows for other things that Robinhood can't. You can choose to lend your shares for shorts:

From https://www.investopedia.com/fidelity-vs-robinhood-4587945

> Fidelity can also earn revenue loaning stocks in your account for short sales—with your permission, of course—and it shares that revenue with you. Fidelity tells us that for two months of lending certain hard to borrow securities, 38% of accounts earn $100 or less, another 37% earn between $100 and $1,000 and the remaining 25% earn over $1,000. Robinhood retains all the income it generates from loaning out customer stock and does not share it with the client.
The duty cycle requirement preclude this type of use. You should be "off the air" ~99% of the time.

> The economy grows substantially every year. How is that possible if it is zero-sum?

It is (approximately, in the developed world) zero-sum because outside of the most extreme poverty, experienced utility is a function much more of relative material position than of absolute position, so increases in inequality drives disutility while improvements in absolute position accompanying such increases do not significantly offset the disutility from inequality (and the reverse would be true with increasing equality even with declines in aggregate absolute position.)

The entire point of collateral is to hedge against you not being able to provide the money in two days, when the share actually is exchanged for cash. If, instead of collateral, you got the cash, capital requirements would be reduced as you would get the money from sales immediately, and wouldn't need to keep a pile of money to collateralize buys while waiting on the income from your sales.
If the makeup of management doesn't reflect the underlying population, especially if non-management does, then yes of course that's a problem.

I as an ethnic German can echo the GP's point. Non-management can be quite diverse, but management is very much old, white, ethnic Germans as far as the eye can see.

There are still a lot of conscious/unconscious ethnic biases in Germany, especially among the older population.

The point with referring to a review article/meta is that you are free to look at the references themselves. Adverse effects secondary to dissociation can obviously be troublesome for some using in a professional clinical setting, which is what this is about..

Anyway, in medicine statements of the form “x never happens unless y” or it “only” happens in certain circumstance are always wrong. The data is not perfect but your implication that only schizophrenics experience adverse effects is not only an idiotic statement on its face you can easily find case reports refuting it.

I found BCPL quite cool too, except for the verbosity, which, like Pascal, I did not much feel at the time. I read the whole (slim) book about it, by Martin Richards, its creator, and enjoyed it. Good amount of low-level system programming examples in the book, and it all being in a language with only one type (the machine word), made it more fun to me, although (or because) I did not know of higher level programming constructs at the time.

Its history and uses are interesting.

Yeah, I've listened to the arguments from Kelton and others. Snarky responses do the theory no favors. Economic Theory is not some clearcut thing that anyone's nailed with any sort of comprehensive frame work in the past several hundred years so my apologies if I remain skeptical of the latest one to come down the pipeline and into vogue. MMT may even be right in theory but in practice may be entirely unrealistic. QE remains a possible systemic risk, and the jury is very much still out, because although those dollars haven't entered the broader marketplace and just sit on bank balance sheets, they may find their way trickling in at some point. QE in USD is also partly propped up the US's reserve currency status, which causes deflationary pressure that many countries don't benefit from. And how does MMT solve for the various asset bubbles ongoing including the real estate bubble in Australia or perhaps the stock bubble in the U.S.
