Both WC 1 and 2 depended on processor speed, but WCII had a slowdown feature (I believe it was Ctrl-+ and Ctrl--) that allowed you slow it down.
Really? Let the lies fly?

So long as influential people exist, and opportunities exist to profit off that influence then there will be a need for state agencies to police them (the influential people). As Elon Musk found when he was investigated following his promise to take Tesla private at $4.20 a share (I hope my memory has got that right). He had all sorts of sanctions made against him, and it was just stoned tweeting.

One of the justifications for a state is to protect the weak from the strong. It is imaginable that it could be done away with (the rule of law protecting the ignorant from the insiders) but if you are going to imagine, imagine what that world would look like.

I disagree. I remember using lots of GUI apps within a 96MB budget 25 years ago -- even browsers.

Electron does not provide that much more desired features than apps from 25 years ago.

Also, off-topic: it's annoying that acm.org has now added a horizontal progress bar, similar to QuantaMagazine.org. I already know how far through the article I am, my browser shows me a scrollbar.
I started a recruitment agency first... After a while, I realized that it was almost impossible to scale this business as well as to be somehow unique comparing to other recruiting firms. It took me around 3 years to negotiate buying the Relocate.me domain name and then the Relocate.me story started.

It helped a lot that I was in this field for almost 5 years before launching Relocate.me. So the first users came through the word of mouth and a Product Hunt campaign.

Moreover, we 'manually' invited software engineers to the platform, those who somehow expressed their interest in moving abroad (haha, this can help - https://relocateme.eu/blog/how-to-source-for-software-develo...)

I think there's quite likely something to that. I seem to have better-than-average intuition in this area and it's handy, but not reliable enough that I'm willing to build causal explanations on it.

Sadly, uncritical application of physiognomy has led to many bad outcomes involving discrimination or institutionalization, and the ideas are often used to prop up racism or other sorts of prejudice, so it's not much different from pseudosciences like phrenology or palm reading. Consider too that in Austen's time manual labor was much more common and social/job mobility much lower, so there were a lot of subtle clues that could be picked up from someone's appearance. Think how many folk tales center on someone's ability (or not) to cross social boundaries by modifying their appearance.
Sorry about that, I think I cluttered my response by talking about the client-side use case.

Does anybody use ETL-for-marketers tools to extract User data from one source, then load it into Stripe as Customer objects?

I don't think it's common. We mostly see developers creating Stripe Customer objects themselves in their backend.

If I understood your original question correctly, you were asking why ETL tools don't do this? I think it's because these tools are deliberately capable of working with fuzzy data streams, so it at least feels weird to start using them for secure actions. Their security model may also make it dangerous to try.

---

Somewhat aside: Authenticating actions from the client is most-easily solved by signing JWTs. Tools like Hasura are doing this in the wild, though it isn't too common among third-party APIs yet. Another close example is Intercom, which asks you to use a non-JWT signature to pass in user data: https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/docs/ios...
"I'm really fascinated by speedrunners who can beat my favorite classic games less than an hour, sometimes in minutes. Some of that is cutting weird corners but often it's pure excellent execution."

Ocarina of Time speedrunning has gotten to a really weird place now, where they basically set the character's name to a string of bytes which are executable code, and then de-reference a pointer to it and warp directly to the end credits, all within a few minutes of gaining control of Link. But, the community has a whole bunch of categories for different types of runs, from ones that are basically the Any% category before SRM (stale reference manipulation), to semi-legitimately beating all the dungeons (though with lots of sequence-breaking), to fully glitchless. It's a lot of fun watching some of those other-category runs for a taste of "normal" gameplay done at a very high level.

Another thing that's fun to watch runs of is randomizers (chest contents, quest rewards, sometimes even doors), since then you're not just seeing high level play, you're also seeing someone doing the live work of reasoning about their route through familiar-but-scrambled territory:

I know Japan also has a bunch of homeless people living in tents as well, I’ve seen them riding around collecting cans to recycle for money.
I live in Germany and private schools are the absolute exception. I'm not a parent yet, but from my experience as a student you just send your kid to the closest school and school reputation isn't really a thing. There are some "rich kid" schools, especially bording schools, but they are really rare and graduates don't really have a lot of benefit when it comes to university applications (German universities operate by taking in many students and make the weak performers drop out or switch to a subject better fitting their skills)

To promote higher achieving students we split kids into three different tiers based on their performance in their 4th school year (around age 10/11). Each tier is actually a completely separate school (location, building, curriculula, even different qualifications for teachers). Students that do exceptionally well/bad can still move between tiers every year.

There is a world where the state provides education and thinking about private schools isn't an important consideration for parents. I would expect it's similar in many other EU countries. So it's not one or the other like you fear.
> They could have instead banned loud noise making machines and/or machines with high pollution

Isn't that what they did?

Oh, are you saying they should ban the sale or posession, not just the use?

Or you're saying they should ban more kinds of noise-making or polluting machines, not just leaf-blowers?

Are you arguing for more expansive ban?

Or I may be missing it.

The main antipattern of smart fridge startups is building something that is not a must-have. Re-ordering milk automatically or inventorying the fridge from an app is more like a neat trick than something people actually need. It addresses a minor problem, and therefore does not inspire an expensive purchase or subscription fee. Even if a company absolutely nailed the functionality, I doubt many people would be willing to pay much for it.
I don't have the reference handy but I recall reading years ago that certain classic optical illusions simply don't work on people who weren't raised in societies with rectangular housing.
It's a holdover from the time before the Berne convention where you needed to explicitly state what rights you were reserving when copyrighting a work. The US entered the Berne convention in 1988. Before that the Universal Copyright Convention (1952) was in force, which required a copyright notice and registration at the copyright office. Under the Berne convention (and the later WTO TRIPS agreement) neither of these things are required, so the entire "Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved." line is redundant. As you note, it merely states something that is already true. But it's become traditional to include something like that, often including the date, sometimes using the © symbol, etc.

I'm asking everyone this - what is your experience level? I know it isn't a good data point because you can be a 20 year java veteran but that isn't the same as a 5 year android veteran, but it's a start!

yes, documentation would be great, but it's so hard to do properly (and basically unrewarding).
The need for lithium is a valid point. The amount required for fuel is very small though. A 1 GW plant would use more on initial filling than a 30 year lifetime of refilling and even that first filling would be on the order of a metric ton (unverified ballpark, dependent on reactor size, blanket thickness, and plumbing overhead). 80,000 metric tons of lithium are mined each year. We consume about 18 TW.

So I estimate that converting all electricity sources to fusion would use about 1/4 of a year’s worth of lithium, but would be enough to make 30 year plants, which would still have most of their lithium left over for recycling/reuse afterwards.

There are many games that will give you much longer than 20 hours. It's actually a complaint by some about modern open world games and how they're geared towards 40+ hours for even a basic completion. Longer if the player wants to finish some of the side quests. And then that's not counting mods and how those extend game time even further. And also not counting all those open-ended games which last as long as you're interested.

Gaming is in very good shape right now. I think most of the lack of immersion comes down to age. And also comes down to having many more diversions when you have an afternoon to yourself with time to play.

I hear you and agree with your intended outcome, but we should be legislating outcomes, not the path to reaching them.

In this example, reasonable legislation would limit the noise and pollution from blowers, without specifically banning any particular technology.

The US had sealed beam headlamps for years after better lighting technologies were invented because US law required them instead of mandating some technology-agnostic standard [0].

Or more recently, we've banned the use of phones while driving. I ask: is it legal to play harmonica while driving? If we agree that it shouldn't be, the law should be written to ban both using a phone or playing harmonica while driving without specifically mentioning either, except perhaps as examples.

What helped me improve my drawing dramatically was learning to _see_. As a programmer, what you need to do is realize that there is an "subconscious abstraction subroutine" which "pre-parses" visual data, before it parses your conscious brain. Unfortunately this preparing involves a great degree of detail removal. That is why you (I, at least) are not able to repeat what is in front of you. Your subconscious has "helpfully" transformed the pear-shaped head, the slightly big oval eyes with gray irises, and that very thin upper lip into the concept "Peter's face". Drawing the face requires actually perceiving those details, in order to reproduce them. That's why children draw human bodies as stick/blob figures.

A good exercise to practice "unfiltered seeing" is:

Select an image you want to draw. We'll call this "the original". It's recommended that the original has clear borders, and few or no color. A black and white cartoon or portrait.

Try your best to replicate the outlines (borders) it on your own on a blank piece of paper. Don't bother with color just yet. This drawing is your "first attempt". Let's try a second one.

Draw a square grid on top of the original, each square edge about 10 cm.

Draw the same grid on a blank piece of paper.

Then (and this is critical) turn the original upside down! You are going to draw it upside down now.

Keeping the original upside down the whole time, and starting on the top-left square, replicate the outlines you see on the same square on the original. Use the square edges as guides; if a line in the original crosses the middle of the top edge of the square, you should try to draw a line so that it crosses your grid the in about the same point.

Once you are certain that the square is "finished", and only then, move on to the next square. Keep filling up squares, until you have filled all of them. Then turn the drawing upside down. This is "second attempt". Compare with first attempt.

The combination of upside-down and division in grids is often enough to not trigger the "visual abstraction subroutine". You may try this again with more complex pictures. In my case once I "learned to see" I experienced a high bump in my drawing abilities.

You will find that a lot of the "drawing lessons" out there really consist on learning to see reality without the abstraction filter on.

Finally, there's of course manual dexterity exercises to make you used to your drawing equipment. They make you draw straight lines, curves, merge colors, etc. I think those are usually very easily found online.

Good luck in your journey!
The first time I used it I lost out on a dream house I wanted to buy. I’m pretty sure I cut the asking price by about 50k with my low initial offer. But I was so over confident that the seller wanted to sell to me over the others that I didn’t take the hint from the agent who was telling me all I had to do was offer a tiny bit more. You live and learn.

Yeah, I'm not sure how effiecient that google-vs-memorising is. I do know it is incredibly polarising - say developers need to memorise and you get hammered by people passionately proclaiming that memory is dead.

But there are - as an aside - very real health benefits to having memorised the work. You're making less decisions (ie "what to google" and "is this useful"), which means you have way more willpower and energy for your daily life. Which is, of course, largely anecdotal but I think goes a long way to explaining traditional developer body types vs those in, say, finance.

(It's not like finance people are "less academic" than developers, for example).

By your definition from earlier in the thread, any entity that buys BTC is a lunatic, so I'm not sure you'll have much to learn from this :P

But, if you are willing to acknowledge both Square and Tesla are run by very intelligent people, these are quotes about their motivations:

> However, when fiat currency has negative real interest, only a fool wouldn’t look elsewhere. [0]

> Square believes that cryptocurrency ... provides a way for the world to participate in a global monetary system, which aligns with the company’s purpose. [1]

Based on my research into the motivations for BTC (or any crypto), these quotes are not unique. The majority of the root motivations seem to be 1. "to hedge against bad monetary policy" and 2. "to create a global monetary system" i.e. create a single global monetary policy.

Meanwhile, if enough S&P companies follow Square and Tesla the US government will find BTC is "too big to fail" and adopt it wholly. But I'm not convinced other S&P companies will follow. Lets see.

In my experience, a textbook and flashcards are great for your first 500 words or so and just enough grammar to get your bearings. I also do a lot of listening and phonics work at the beginning.

After the first month or so, I find extensive reading (with graded readers) to be by far the fastest way to pick up and cement vocabulary gains.

Listening (to radio or podcasts) is harder until you building a larger vocabulary, so I gradually add it to my reading habit as I improve.
yep, good comparison! crm bought tableau for $15B+ and google was fine w/ Looker @ $2B, and data is a clear high-ceiling market.
