I think the Blazor server version is okay for Internet insofar as initial dl is concerned, but the problem with Blazor server is scaling it since the signalr connection requires client affinity with the server. Or I believe that's still the case. I'm not expert, but I think there are some issues with horizontal scaling with server-side blazor. Maybe that's been fixed or there are good solutions for it.

It’s certainly a good question. They may have done that analysis themselves, but I haven’t seen it.

And yes it’s about $20,000 USD per year to account for the average american’s emissions. I’m actually cheered that this is a good deal less than average GDP per capita. So as the tech scales the costs are at least possible to pay. It would be much worse if the costs exceeded GDP.

Meanwhile, buying a smaller subscription provides funds to help scale the technology which should lower costs. This is Stripe’s goal with Stripe Climate.

I prefer VB. I have a degree in writing C#, I just find VB vastly preferable to work in.

I hesitate to believe Python would exist in the way it does today if Microsoft hadn't treated VB so badly. It's only now being replaced as the default to teach in schools because of its simplicity and readability.
Is “Baumol’s cost disease” just a fancy term for the effects of supply and demand in the labor market? I do not see how it is anything more than a trivial result of supply and demand and why it merits a special name.

I don't think this is the reason because Apple historically didn't use the amount of RAM in iPads as a differentiator[1].

Also, this is not new (Apple was doing this all the way back in 2018). From memory this was to do w/ the 1TB SSDs needing more addressable RAM for the larger file system.

Edit: Added evidence [1] as I'm getting downvoted for the view that "Apple historically didn't use the amount of RAM in iPads as a differentiator". As you'll see from the link, Apple has historically used screen size and storage to segment iPads.

Agreed. Reducing bigger ports from laptop is great tradeoff, but having them on desktop computer is convenient, thickness/lightness for desktop isn't good tradeoff.

The distinction is meaningless to the user in the example your parent cites.

> Blockchains are an interesting thought exercise but ultimately achieve, literally, nothing.

You don't need to provide computational garuntees (in the sense of polynomially bound adversaries or whatever) to achieve something. Most things in the offline world don't provide these types of garuntees and still change the world.

> Certainly not in a way that's better, faster, or more efficient than a centralized store.

I personally think the bitcoin craze is silly, but how does one define "better". Certainly there are people who use it and get value from it. Who are we to say its not "better" to them.
I would say it is less likely that VPS providers are intentionally giving out blacklisted IPs and more likely that VPS customers are getting their providers IPs blacklisted.

Perhaps VPS providers should consider putting some of their customers in the "naughty corner" and keeping separate IP ranges for customers that do not have a history of abuse.

It's worth noting that the 3rd gen 12.9 inch and 1st gen 11 inch iPad pros also had more RAM on the 1TB models (6gb vs 4gb on the models with less storage).

The next gen (which was the current gen until this announcement) did away with that and gave them all 6GB.

The main activities that apple seems to think people people use high-storage iPads for are editing high definition videos and pictures, so I assume the extra ram helps when you are dealing with the massive file sizes involved.

Until today the best ipad you could buy had 6GB of ram and was blazingly fast, so 8GB is absolutely not going to be a bottleneck except for very niche use cases.

I would say I'm hopeful for this to bear fruit. MS is in a much different position today than in the past. That said, my opinion still generally stands, When I see 3 versions from MS with cross platform support, at that point I'll consider it.

For me, without a supported Linux target, it's pretty much a no-go. Having a single UI platform that gets you most of the way there is really nice. Part of why I actually like the embedded web options out there. If this gets a Linux target and shows decent output for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS, it will gain a lot of market share. For many, lack of Linux isn't even an issue, and that will likely spur some early adoption.

Those who have been burned by Silverlight or Xamarin.Forms in the past, let alone other options, will be far more cautious.
Thanks! They should do so for each one (left and right)?

As is this.

Be prepared for it to get a lot bigger. That's one of the first noticeable changes when a company IPO's, they go on a hiring blitz either beforehand or after. I worked at a company pre-IPO that was 10 people, it ballooned to over 80 before I decided to move on. I love working in smaller teams where things have less red tape and when companies get that big, that's when the big sticky roll of red tape comes out. Another noticeable change is that freedom you might have to experiment and explore new features pretty much goes (unless your company is different). All of a sudden, the company has a responsibility to other people besides customers and more invested parties, things move slower and it can be frustrating.

In this day and age of marketing (especially for developers) it does look good on a resume to say you were an early employee at X company and were instrumental to its growth allowing it to IPO.
F# has barely any dev resources behind it last I checked. Think "fits in one small conference room pre covid". They had more focus on porting F# features than developing the language.
My youtube feed had been purposely curated to two science topics for weeks prior. How does the suicide of a friend factor into an "interests" algo that all of a sudden overrides my customizations? I was not doing any searches etc for suicide at that point but I did learn of the suicide via SMS from someone who uses an Android phone. (likely infiltration point for google to initially gather the data point User.FriendsSuicide.WasInformed)

I'm willing to accept the innocent explanation but not on conjecture. This was blatant and fucking hurt me badly and I haven't recovered since. It was the worst possible gaslighting.

Recently: tweeting about my suicidal ideations and having twitter respond with personalized trends such as "He's dead" and "Rope" while shadowbanning me doesn't look good.

Also recently: Facebook showing me a long string of county sheriffs as "people you may know" when a guy i knew long ago was scheduled to be released from a long term federal stint, doesnt look good either. Makes it clear that I've been on a "associate of bad guy" list since Season 6 Ep 12. Is it possible that some kind of social credit algos have been deployed by American tech companies, in a limited fashion? I suspect the architectural arrangements at big tech companies offers compartments for performing limited use-case experiments totally out of view of the rank and file engineers. By design, those ouside that clearance zone won't even know it exists. "CIA middleware" might be appropriate

It seems unlikely to me that the google incident was just a random fluke based on my "interest" in learning of the suicide of a childhood friend. However, only google has the logs, data, and algorithms. I find it unlikely that Google will ever give a straight answer but to me its evidence that Google's data and algos need to be turned over to the justice dept. A big part of Google's power is their impunity to perform such experiments with total deniability. They are worth a trillion dollars yet any damage, incidental or intentional, inflicted on a user goes totally unchecked.

Google is loyal to google/shareholders. They dont give a fsk about me, and I fully expect that no response is forthcoming. There's no accountability, and these services start to look more like public utilities. If it isnt transparent then any such malice can easily be played off with statements claiming that some kind of intelligence is needed for an algo to be malicious

An algo doesn't have to be "smart" to gaslight a person. All you need is their personal data, especially intimate data such as:

* Childhood bully's name

* Subsequent taken name of your ex wife who you were heartbroken to lose

* Suicide of a childhood friend

* Other personals such as siblings' names

Worse yet is rumors. An algo can use info related to rumors to gaslight a person. Just use keywords from the rumors for personalized content. None of this requires any complex algos. Just incompetence and/or malice.

Exactly

If the buyer can only afford $1,000 a month with a 30 yr mortgage - that sets the upper bound of the list price of the asset

If rates rise the monthly payment stays the same, but the buyer can only afford a lower priced house.

If rates go down those $1,000 can now pay for a higher list price

> Blockchains can only offer their guarantees for concepts entirely encapsulated within the blockchain. As soon as a blockchain touches the real world, trust is required and the guarantees break down.

This seems analogous to declaring, "numbers only offer their guarantees for concepts entirely encapsulated within mathematics; therefore, as soon as they interface with the real world, its utility breaks down."
> keeping separate IP ranges for customers that do not have a history of abuse.

To avoid the “good” ip ranges getting banned, they need to keep a separate IP range for customers without a future of abuse; history is not reliable for the purpose.

This is somewhat more challenging.
Indeed... technically you don't have to use the cdktf CLI.
For instance, I typically run "python main.py" to synthesize from Python to Terraform.

From an end-user perspective, once you have your cdktf environment setup you don't really ever have to deal with node.js at all.

I've never had a reason to dig into this very deep, but my understanding is the cdktf Python libraries use JSII Python libraries which interact with the main JSII implementation which runs under node.js. That's where the conversion from Python to HCL compatible JSON happens. Or in the case of the main AWS CDK, from your favorite programming language to CloudFormation.

Freedom of movement is the power to exchange goods and services with anyone.

Freedom of speech is only a freedom if it is accompanied by a potential hearer's freedom to block speech. Modern platforms do not let you choose what or who you want to hear. Freedom of speech without freedom to choose your censor is anarchy.

This kind of thing would be incredible built in to expensive portable electronics. My bf recently lost his very expensive sony earbuds while on holiday and once its not in the hotel room or your bags, its basically gone.

I agree with all of the above. I love C# as a language having used it in Unity in the past.

I wanted to try to a server backend with it, but I was lost as to which framework to use (ASP.net / .NET Core / .Net 5) so I ended up choosing neither.

Which is a shame, because I really really like the language

Python was built as an education/learning language first. It's popular because it's often a first language learned, and necessity in education/research space caused a lot of innovation over the years.

The only thing I like about VB (.Net) is that it supports XML literal notation... which was crazy useful in the mid-2000's when dealing with Flash (it's own XML literal notation) as a data passing option. I know others that utilized that feature well for Xaml applications.

I'd much rather just use C# at this point. Actually, I'd rather use JS (node/deno) or rust than C#.
1) They might not. Back in 2018 when they did a similar thing, the larger RAM variants were slightly slower. [1]

2) Not a direct answer, but from memory Apple caculated (in 2018) that moving up to the 1TB required an extra half gig of RAM over the 512GB version. The end qty of the RAM was a function of the size of RAM modules.

Well, "terrorism" is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?

But sure, they regularly interview rebels of all stripes, except Islamist insurgents I think (at least I can't think of one such interview).

> they still basically exist as a propaganda station. They're only going to broadcast something like this if they want the world to hear it for some reason.

That's a point of view. I've seen them accused of being at the same time pro-regime and pro-opposition/rebels, inside the same countries, all across Africa, regardless of which group France is supporting. So who knows?

I've even heard once the officials from an opposition party in an African country during a period of unrest, protesting against the then-current RFI correspondant covering the country and asking for his replacement by another RFI reporter, supposedly more neutral. So, again, it's in the eye of the beholder.

Also, being a public radio doesn't necessarily mean they're subservient. We have a national station here which is quite leftist, France Inter. Whenever the government is right-wing (or center-right), it will criticize the government's politics quite severely. Maybe being a civil servant with a lifetime job guarantee helps being less subservient? Or maybe I'm just hopelessly naive.

Everyone has their own needs, requirements and ideas what's essential and what's not. Importance and justifications are subjective matters.

Only thing everyone can certainly agree on that those use cases were not deemed important (or even considered) by Apple, as they would've designed it differently otherwise.

AGPL can be combined with GPL and vice versa. GPL does not require open-sourcing if it stays on your computer or the computer of your company and its employees. This makes AGPL a much weaker copyleft when on a server.
Not sure on that one... It will depend a lot on community support, getting over the first speedbump is the hardest part... if it gets built, I think it may become well (enough) maintained.

Of course, then the question(s) are what toolkits will this ride over for the platform. It's hard enough getting tray icons working consistently in Linux apps as it is, for example.

>All retail banks offer savings accounts specifically for this purpose.

Banks scam poor/middle-income people into paying the inflation tax by promoting these accounts and so does the government.

CPI is not the actual inflation rate and savings accounts pay nowhere near CPI. The money you have in your savings account is rotting and I'm not sure you realize it.

>That's how currency works: it retains value only for as long as necessary.

Poor people forced to live in cash are supposed to take a ~50% haircut in purchasing power every 5-10 years? I think if they understood the rate of devaluation they would not think it was as 'long as necessary'.

"Toot" goes further.
Depends on workload.

I have found that my workloads are more accelerated by processing core count, but I build multi-service cloud applications and want to run them locally.

If, for example, you run a bunch of Electron apps (Slack, VS Code, etc) and have hundreds of tabs open (I do too) then more RAM helps.

Those SSD sizes are more than anyone probably needs unless you’re doing something like high end video editing or pushing huge amounts of data.
