Alternatively, it's Tetris with bits of a minimal OS mixed in, just enough to support it, which is not unlike what a lot of OSs in embedded systems are like.

A lot of software was written in this format several decades ago, including many games:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-booting_disk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PC_booter_games

I think the boundaries are quite fuzzy; while something like the mask-ROM firmware in a 4-function calculator or microwave would probably not be called an OS by the majority of people, how about a router running Linux, or the RTOS used in a car's ECU? Moving up from there, DOS is clearly in the realm of an actual OS, then we have the locked-down mobile devices, and at the far end are the general-purpose PCs running Windows, Linux, macOS, and such.

Even at the "small end", a microcontroller running a firmware containing a single infinite loop that does stuff with the peripherals seems unlikely to classify as an OS; but what if you start adding dynamic memory allocation, coroutines/cooperative multithreads, filesystem code, etc.?
A lot of people make comparisons to vent/mumble/teamspeak/irc, but I think Discord is quite a bit different.

I used to hang out on vent/mumble all the way from ~2008 to ~2015 when I switched to Discord. While voice chat is great:

1. Hanging out in voice chat for hours and hours can be exhausting

2. There's no history, so it's hard to have conversation/hang out with people who are busy

3. #2 leads to a lot of FOMO especially in younger people

Whereas on Discord, I can leave messages for people, have a channel where I post funny stuff throughout the day, share music and videos. I can have multiple threaded conversations, have multiple servers each with many channels, etc.

All of this was technically achievable with irc and advanced enough client/plugins, but it surely wasn't accessible to everyone, and definitely not free.

Self plug but I have seen people saying they wish they could also support Charm and other carbon removal methods.

Please check out Carbon Removed[0] which offers negative emissions subscriptions and one-time purchases. We are partnered with Charm Industrial and Climeworks (as well as others) and aim to offer a removal portfolio.

We do this for two reasons:

1) To support the progression of as many different removal methods as possible. There is no "silver bullet" when it comes to fighting the climate crisis and we will need tech based carbon removal - we're past the point that nature can do this on her own.

2) To make carbon removal more affordable - as somebody rightfully calculated, removing the average US footprint (16 tons) would cost around $16,000 purely with Climeworks and $9,600 purely with Charm. We spread the removal across expensive tech and cheaper natural methods to help lower the cost.

Happy to discuss carbon removal and offer custom plans if you want to contact me directly: Email me @ "ewan at (@) carbon removed dot (.) com"

Thanks for your input. I don’t know the insider story like you do, but went off descriptions of the review process from good friends who worked at Amazon.
sorry for your loss. i totally see where your comment is coming from but i do not believe that youtube deliberately ran an experiment on you.

youtube, along with most social media, doesn't know how to handle the dead.

it always pains me to see videos of dead youtubers show up in my feed. i highly doubt that the "monetization" money goes to the families. and i can't bring myself to unsubscribe to their channels either.

it's a weird and sad conundrum.
Yeah, I'd expect these to last notably longer than a year for most people. The AirTags marketing page gives the measurement spec:

That seems like exceptionally heavy usage to me.

Neat! I checked out your source code, and if there's one comment I have, it's the way you query for comments. Currently, response times are around 300-400 ms for just 79 bytes of data. That's likely because you recursively fetch nested comments from a serverless function, which potentially has to make multiple network request to talk to the database. Coincidentally, a past Disqus employee has a great write up on the faster solution (recursive CTE): https://cra.mr/2010/05/30/scaling-threaded-comments-on-djang...

Regardless, great work! Choosing Svelte to hit that 4.7kb mark is super sweet!
> If anyone is aware of anything like this do share.

Well, I actually tried to start a movement for that [1].

The idea is to offload as much as possible to trusted peers, and to refine the web with a trust model where the user has to trust a website specifically to deliver expected things from the user's side (e.g. a news website should have no right to shove videos down your throat).

I also think that a lot of web browsers tackle the privacy problem wrong. "User Privacy" is not sending a user-agent to a server, or downloading a resource from it in a statistically easily detectable manner.

Real privacy is not having to download anything from the web server at all, by offloading requests to its peers. In my Browser [2] I'm trying to have every metadata, configuration or observation (and extraction) federated. I believe that the real strength of peer-to-peer is not decentralization; it is federation and liberation.

I saw an article recently where some school was being renamed for the sort of reasons people call "cancel culture" these days and they explicitly rejected renaming it after Obama, because he was an "oppressor" due to the (allegedly very vigorous) deportation of undocumented immigrants during his terms.

> If you want to use AGPL software in your project, you're free to relicense under AGPL.

And this condition is the reason that the answer will be "no" every time to using copyleft. Why would anyone ever choose a piece of software which, however you want to twist words, is actually less free in the sense of what it permits and will have less adoption as a result?

I run some websites without ads used by thousands of people and I never intend to monetize them, but I would still avoid these projects solely due to their licensing.
I haven't said anything about the motivations behind it. It's probably just a feeling that you're doing something good. But that's basically what I'm talking about, the biological sex is obscured with words like "orientation" or "identity", despite that the premise of this entire theory at least used to be that sex, gender and orientation are separate things. You can't change your biological sex, it's immutable. If you were born as a man, you won't be able to bear a child. It's supposedly defending individual rights with what is a plain deception. I cannot even imagine any example that would top that in terms of what wacky theories people could believe.

I'm sure that criticizing Q-anon is a red flag too for some people.
No thanks. I do not want my privacy violated, security comprised, or have my devices depend on connectivity/degrade without connectivity. I also don’t want an insurance industry that forces us to live under the watchful eye of a behavior nanny for mundane daily things like driving.
I think the best thing that could happen for Visual Studio is for Microsoft to acquire JetBrains and build Rider into a REAL cross-platform Visual Studio replacement while letting legacy Visual Studio wither and die. Oh... and adding drop-dead-simple "deploy to Azure" options in the rest of the JetBrains products would be a coup too.

Oh wow did this title ever bury the lede, but what a great article. As a long time C# programmer very familiar with the .NET stack I definitely share and sympathize with many of the OP’s frustrations. I’ve been working in this world since .NET Framework 1.0 betas and I can’t keep track of all the developments. It’s exhausting.

Aside from hobby projects I’ve basically not given much thought to .NET Core because it’s such a moving target - and it’s a shame. In so many ways it’s far superior to the moribund .NET Framework - especially in terms of speed and memory use.

But there’s also many places in Core where there’s parity lacking with Framework, and migrating code can be a confusing and confounding experience. This is a place where things needed to be easy and they aren’t - and it doesn’t help that it’s so hard to figure out the difference between .NET Framework/Core/Standard/5 with UWP, WinRT, etc further confusing things.

Back in 2004 Joel Spolsky wrote the great article “How Microsoft Lost the API War” (https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/06/13/how-microsoft-lost...) and now some 17 years later it feels like little has changed. Some of the technology stacks may be different now but the frustrations are largely the same. It’s still the “MSDN Magazine camp” (or whatever today’s named equivalent would be) versus the “Raymond Chen camp”.
That's how I understood so appreciate all the above responses in response to mRNA Do Not last long.

First I think it is quite incredible to have such a vaccination out so quickly. As the pandemic eases are we in a situation needing to continue booster shots say on some reoccurring basis as a preventative measure? I am not very clear on the virus itself whether it eventually gets eradicated over time. Or something a bit more reactive where it is possible to get a shot after infected or having symptoms and whether mRNA works in this way as well on a reactive basis.
Why do you care how thin a desktop computer is? It's not like you are going to move it around a lot. I think it would be better if it was a tad bit thicker, but with actually desktop class specs.
The thesis here is based on equating the mythology of the 10x engineer with top athletes and entertainers without considering the demand models and performance measurement.

In sports, billions of people compete from childhood on a physical competition with exactly the same rules where performance is completely objective and immediately visible. People only want to watch the very best, so as long as you have global distribution of live feeds, then of course all the money is going to very tiny set of top performers.

With actors/musicians, it's not 100% objective, but it's still directly based on audience appeal, and you can pretty quickly determine who has popular appeal and draw a through line from various business models to what the superstar can economically be paid.

However in the vast majority of businesses, it's a team effort there is no direct connection between individual contributors and customer choice. The closest role for this would be sales, but even in that case they're selling the product and the brand, not themselves. Furthermore, effective contribution usually requires a fair amount of ramp-up and domain knowledge. As a hiring manager it's incredibly difficult to know who will be a 10x-er before hiring—even if you have reliable inside information from other companies, you don't have a guarantee it will pan out in your environment. Certainly there are some superstar engineers with specific well-known expertise, and they do get outsize offers, but there are very few such roles that require "the top global expert in X niche" and while engineers can get 7 figure offers for these, there's not enough of a through-line to revenue for it to rise to the level of superstars in other disciplines which are more or less a direct function of the size of global attention and discretionary spending they command.

Gen II (Silver/Gold/Crystal) had a time-of-day thing going, which I expect probably required more battery power due to also needing to maintain a clock along with the save data. Gen I only needed to hold the save data. That would be my guess for the difference in battery life.

“The US, for example, was issuing stimulus cheques because there was no way to directly transfer funds into bank accounts”

They literally already exist!
I think you misunderstand the GPL ideology (to use your words).

The idealogy is that proprietary software is wrong, bad, unethical. Software freedom should be available to all.

The copyleft terms of the GPL are a tactic a means to defending software freedom. And to that extent, all the incompatibility with other free licenses are indeed a bug a downside, a hampering of freedom in practice. That downside is accepted because of (and only when it is) the judgment that it is a net gain for software freedom anyway because it frustrates the development of non-free software.

There does not exist any ideology that wants incompatibility between free software licenses. It is a price that some feel should be paid sometimes in order to be incompatible with non-free licenses which are the actual problem.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but as someone with little kids the Siri remote was just great

Instead of them running up and touching the TV screen to tell me which episode they wanted to watch, I could fling over to the big thumbnail and wiggle it around with my finger on the trackpad. They could easily see what was "focused" and what I was referring to on the screen

As the kids grew older they got used to just asking Siri through the remote to search for shows they wanted to watch, something they couldn't do when they were too young to type and spell

It is initially harder to use than the discrete button remote, and I agree that it's tough to scrub very fine intervals. Though you can use Siri button to "go back 25 seconds" or "what did she say?" — which goes back ~15 seconds and also turns on subtitles temporarily

This new remote looks like a good combination of trackpad + clicky buttons though

>the usual rule is that if your cabbie starts talking about it, it's time to get out of the market.

>If your cabbie understands BTC you might have a point. We aren't even close to there yet

The point is that the cabbie likely doesn't understand BTC. When an asset class becomes so popular that people who have no idea how it works are putting money into it and loudly campaigning for others to do the same that is a sign that you are in a bubble.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the bubble is about to pop. Some bubbles can last decades. See real estate in a variety of locations around the world as an example. However lot of dumb money (people who don't understand what they're buying) flowing into a thing because of fomo can be a predictor that prices are unsustainable.

I think the difference in energy consumption between storage devices and GPU miners is being significantly downplayed here. While a good bit of energy has to be consumed to generate the plots, the benefit is that once completed the storage devices may sit idle in a much more energy efficient farming machine (and for quite literally forever).

As of right now the network is only a very small percentage of the global storage market, so it is hard to imagine any impact on chip supply chains, but of course there is no telling what stress could be brought in the future as the network grows, we will have to see.

However in a time when energy usage and carbon footprint are being used as direct attacks to "cancel" cryptocurrency (which are legitimate concerns, not only just about "cancelling" crypto), I can't help but wonder if Chia is in the place to completely change the game with adoption of proof of space.

It's regrettable, but F# has never seen anything like the kind of support C# and VB.NET have. It was and remains something of a "hobby" product, albeit one that sees lots of use in some specialized industries.

Although F#-the-language is top-notch, the surrounding bits - editor experience, documentation, libraries, tooling - just don't get the investment they need to be on par with the sibling languages.

What I mean to say is, don't judge .NET just by your experience with F#. C# is the happy path.

When I first started using Pulumi, I was using Python and it seemed like the Pulumi team focused on JavaScript and the rest of the languages were afterthoughts. But they’ve improved a lot on this front, so if anything the trend is in the opposite direction.
Well that's easy: http://chiclassiccomp.org/
There’s nothing preventing you from using Pulumi with GitOps, in fact it’s an encouraged pattern.
Yeah I think you couldn't train GPT-3 on this. You need something incredibly compute and memory bandwidth intensive, but with relatively few parameters. But there ought to be some interesting architectures to discover in that direction. If nothing else you could do crazy fast hyperparameter optimization on smaller architectures and get much better performance out of them.

The architectures we have are shaped by the hardware they run on, I think more than people realize. Different hardware will need different architectures to be fully utilized. Unfortunately there are so few of these chips in existence that it will be hard to get enough people using them to really discover how to best use them.

The ideal end-state is simply software freedom for everyone, no more proprietary software — and also no more malicious actions in the world, world peace, and universal love and compassion.

I do sincerely share these ideals, but which paths get us how far with which real-world trade-offs, that's more complex.

For ideal policy, I like this direction: abolishing copyright and patent law and replacing them with (A) mandatory source-release for all published works that need source in order to practically study and modify and (B) prohibition on DRM or other measures that technically limit freedoms.
