The linked phys.org article btw didn't say very much. Would be nice with a summary of the actual scientific impact.

As far as I could tell, for models of cosmological growth, it tightened the limits on dark energy to match the standard GR type even more but no new odd things appeared.
Did you read the article. Once guy posted a old cremation pic as covid cremation happening now. Another posted a pic about a different city as happening in guj(since modis from guj). They are by definition disinformation. Unless you have a source that includes other tweets which are accurate.

For Wire claims it be true while OP claims its false. Obviously OP is more free to diss on that. If the situation was reversed than Wire would have posted and OP not. These are media houses not Truth seeking journalists. Carvan has a tweet about farmer killed by bullet when it was not. Not sure if its deleted now, but it was there for a long time and Twitter did nothing.
Given the mention of the MP3 blind testing, I was thinking there'd be some kind of analysis of the difference between the various byte-sizes of JPGs rather than just "dogshit" - that would have been extremely interesting.
This:

>If we divide this by 1024 (because we're stubborn and sticking to the old definition of a kilobyte), we get 64. That's the 64KB of RAM that can be addressed by the 6502 processor.

A kilobyte should be 1024 bytes, and it all comes down to address lines and powers of two.

That other unit, Kib? That is a storage unit, and I sort of get it. Block devices do not have the strong relationship to the powers of two seen between a CPU and RAM / address space.

Author mentioned stubborn. I see it as either a mass storage unit, or CPU addressing.
I've been paying attention to the GNUstep project periodically since 2004, and I can't recall Apple ever supporting the project.
C++ is a garbage language. There's literally nothing worse. Not PHP, not Perl, not Bash nor VBScript.

C++ is literally the worst language.

You have to be an arcane wizard to write safe C++. Your code reviewers have to be all-seeing oracles. You're asked to follow this pattern called RAII, but the language does nothing to tell you this or enforce it.

Creating declarations and header files is so ceremonious and tiring that it's a pain to prototype. By the time your ideas are concrete, you've already introduced bugs.

Anyone who says they can program C++ safely is either a robot or is lying.

Mozilla's single most important contribution is Rust. It's a literal godsend for systems programming. The ecosystem is maturing more and more every year, and it's now just about time we put C++ out to pasture. There's no saving it.
I've had a different experience.

In the times where an emotionally charged goal isn't driving me forward, adhering to disciplined regimes for time and knowledge management has helped me to prepare and therefore perform better in times there IS a highly motivating goal.

There don't have to be two extremes of X-management (one fuelled by emotion and one dragged down by apathy). Like anything, building a discipline in the slow times will set you up really well for when you need to run hard in the fast times.

All that said, I use Roam Research[0] for my knowledge management now. I consolidate my thoughts and ideas weekly, and aim for evergeen knowledge[1].

> True but for best latency and speeds a direct link back to ground would be best.

Speed maybe, latency no. Light is faster in a vacuum than through a fiber optic cable, so a satellite-to-satellite path would generally be faster even though it has to go a few hundred km further.
It is also like using fancy vocabulary. You might sound smart and all but most of people will think you are silly. Then there will be a lot of people who won't understand you and there might be more problems because of that misunderstanding.

When you will make perfect REST API there will be someone who will not understand it and will just try things and he might make a big mess.

The same if you will create beautiful, perfect, UML diagrams. If no one else is proficient using them and it is only you. There is no advantage of working this way.
I don't see `unsafe` being used as an escape hatch IMO.
Short recap for anyone interested:

In that era, 16-bit was a marketing term that referred to the data bus size (with an unspoken assumption that the internal registers of the CPU were at least the same width). Being able to push more bits to the CPU in one operation was a MAJOR source of speed at the time, and became a defining characteristic for consoles.

When 32-bit systems came out, it was more of the same reasoning. The Jaguar controversy came about because, while the data bus of the Jaguar was indeed 64 bits wide, none of the chips could make use of all 64 bits other than the blitter and object processor (general CPU operations and fetches were 32-bit). So Atari was breaking with the reasoning of the time to boost their marketing campaign, thus the ridicule (especially given the performance of the Jaguar and their marketing slogan "do the math").
Pretty sure McDonald's is fully aware of this and deserves a large portion of the blame.
I've seen this contrasted with the Google stuff but it seemed to me the two approaches were entirely complementary.

"Gameplay" is not a scalar, and it's not a function of game alone - it's a function of the game and the player.

Never played Pokémon Snap, but if the gameplay resembles even a little the photography side-game of Beyond Good and Evil, or Subnautica, I'd probably find it fun to an extent. And beating Tetris gameplay, for me, is a pretty low bar. About the only thing I liked about it was the memorable music - as a kid, I never had patience to become good at it. The racing game on the same "100-in-1" handheld, now, that was another thing :).

That's the thing. Ads will always generate revenue. If you can also get people to pay for your content, great. So then you have two sources of revenue for the same product.

But some services do manage to do without ads; Netflix is the big one that comes to mind. Hulu has an ad-free version if you pay more. Spotify has a free ad-supported plan or a paid ad-free plan. Then you have things in the middle like HBO Max: most (all?) shows have ads before them, but it's an ad promoting another HBO show.

So clearly paid & ad-free is possible. What's not clear to me is why it's possible for some things and not for others.

To use your sports example, perhaps without ads ticket and merchandise prices would have to rise to the point where enough people wouldn't buy them such that it would cause a problem? I don't know what the contribution to revenue is for ticket sales vs. ads.

Consider "games" like Minecraft, Roblox or Dreams, those are entirely user-data-driven. Different types of games are at least as different to each other as to other types of applications (or rather, they are not less diverse than other applications, they usually just have a higher focus on performance).

I really wish micropayments would take off, but psychologically it seems they just don't work. There's a huge chasm between spending $0 and spending even $0.01. The mental effort involved in "taking out your wallet" vs. not doing so is huge.

Meanwhile it seems that most people consider viewing ads to have zero cost to them (whether that's true or not), or use ad-blockers.

Interesting. I am definitely of the third kind since I'm a kid. But with the years I've come to appreciate mathematics (maybe FP was a gateway), and machines through wanting more real world connection, learning electronics and building physical things. Totally agree with your conclusion, no matter the path, all these aspects are important.
Same in Russia.

Anyway, US McDonalds is worse than the ones in literally every other country I've ever been to.
It happened all the time at the McDonalds next to Charing Cross. Never really happens here at the Isle of Man McDonalds.

The main difference between those two is that the former is open 24 hours a day, while the latter is closed 12a - 5pm, a window which just happens to be perfect for running the Taylor’s daily cleansing cycle. (It can’t be solely a function of increased customer throughput, which is the other variable I considered, as the Manx McDonalds has way more people visit it during the TT than the Charing Cross restaurant ever has. Yet the machine was up the entire TT for at least the last three years the race was held.)

Which is quite different from "It also doesn't help that Vulkan development is basically C++ and Windows".

On Apple, all relevant engines support Metal directly, no need for MoltenVK at all. That is just for the usual FOSS anti-Apple folks that buy Apple hardware and then complain it isn't GNU/Linux.

I agree 100% with this statement.
>Unfortunately the people that get excited building things is outnumbered by the people that is just in this for the money.

I don't think there's a reason to be sad about it. There are plenty of e.g. maintenance jobs in the industry, and people who are passionate about programming may not be the best fit for this niche - it's boring, and sometimes you feel the urge to re-invent a few wheels even in detriment to actual business needs. For not-so-passionate however it's a good place - minimize efforts while having good salary.
I think they realized that deleting tweets really helps shut down conspiracy theories. The main Twitter account I followed for videos of the pandemic situation in China at the beginning of 2020 was banned just before covid really hit the US. Numerous blue-check accounts (including some fringe “journalists”) had reported it for misinformation and several claimed the situation was not that bad in China and that the videos were somehow doctored. He stopped posting anything about the pandemic on his Facebook and Instagram accounts out of fear of having those permanently banned as well. So censorship can work. The saddest thing is that Twitter banned his account without any government intervention.

EDIT: Not all of reporters I mentioned were fringe. Two were from the Atlantic and Buzzfeed, and both claimed that the Coronavirus situation was overblown and that people saying otherwise were fear-mongering. Helping them out were a couple of epidemiologists who were also claiming that the coronavirus danger was overhyped. This was late January 2020.
Let's not confuse this with skill, though. I think ego is the reason why this has been allowed to go on for this long...

The "skill" is mainly pointless memorization of a bunch of idioms. I've attended C++ training with committee members that have made C++ their life... and it was quite discouraging to see that even they do: Let's try this... oh, that didn't work. Let's try this... hmm, right. I know what this is, I've seen it before. Now, it works.

Right, the technology for doing micropayments is easy; you just create a "wallet" that people periodically top up with some minimum charge like $10 or $20, and then have websites hook into an API to debit from it. (Venmo, Square Cash, etc. are nearly already set up to do this, and I bet Apple and Google would easily get into that game as well.) But people just don't want to pay. Viewership would drop like a rock if a ad-supported publication were to instead charge even 1 cent per article.

You also have a first-mover disadvantage. No one wants to be the first blog or small newspaper that starts charging in this way, because people will just go elsewhere. To be effective, everyone would have to agree to magically enable this simultaneously.

Algorithm Agility?
> when my code compiles, which is often the first time, it’ll usually also run correctly.

I don't understand this, this is extreme hyperbole. Even when I used one of the strictest JVM languages where almost everything was a compiler error I still only had the guarantee that 99% of the time it is not going to crash, not that the code is correct. Of course, Java crashed all the time, groovy crashes a lot of the time, but it's a dynamic language that is supposed to fail like that. Once the code compiled, the business logic could still be wrong but getting the business logic correct is my job, not the machine's and the benefits of avoiding machine errors cannot be understated.

No. The reason d'etre for the centralised platforms is that they are accountable to the major rights holding companies. That's all. One can speculate why this is so important for society, but ostensibly it is to protect the rights of Universal, Disney, etc.

Accountability becomes impossible with decentralization, and small decentralized distributors can be easily intimidated with copyright-related legislation. This is partly why p2p fizzled.

Internet change will require political change, such as rolling back various copyright legislation. For example, limiting to 20 years (like patents) and several others. The consequences of this would be to erase the book-value of the rights holding companies.

But decentralized media can not be held accountable to society/politics like for example Youtube. I suspect this is the underlying political motivation, not so much charity to Disney.
Thanks. I didn’t know this. So it’s a recursive phenomenon and as culture continues developing we can expect quite a mess of a fractal. That would explain the noticeable decline in ability of holistic judgement and the rise of kompetencelessness.
I'm glad, and I don't want to make you stop being happy. Happiness is more important than technology fads of the week.

That said, I'm no longer using Spotify, and disappearing songs had a lot to do with it. I've been paying for a premium account for some 6-7 years, way longer than I should - it took me over a year to notice that I'm not actually using it, because half of my favorite songs are gone, and whenever I search for something particular, half of the time it's not there (or worse, there's some shitty cover of it). And it's not just the catalog that suffered since - also the UI of their mobile app rotten over time, and became incomprehensive.

But back in ~2012 - 2015 I sure as hell was happy with their service, and evangelized it to all my friends, and I did feel it's worth more than what I'm paying for it.

I guess losing music on Spotify isn't that big of a deal for most people, because - extrapolating music-related behavior from a couple dozen non-tech people I've observed over the years - the most popular music player isn't Spotify, it's YouTube. And YouTube does have it all, at least for now.
So here's a controversial opinion: use whatever language you're comfortable with and use the time you'd spend in flame wars about Java to make something useful instead.
I am not sure what is upsetting about the question was honestly wondering how realistic it is to work at Apple on services using primarily Go.

The reason UML died is that most code is written by people who do not care about bureaucracy or much else than writing code.

UML was borne to have a language to specify the design so that somebody else can implement it, or at very least that's how I have seen it used.

But this doesn't make sense in most cases. We have learned that the more efficient way to write the software is have one person both design and implement that design. And this means the UML has been relegated to serve as documentation only.

Which we know nobody likes to do and few do it.

The UML is still strong in organizations that write code to order or when comprehensive documentation is formal output of the process. This has been more popular in the past but these days companies that shape our development consciousness decided (and rightly so) that developing their products is core part of their business.

> There are a bunch of languages that compile to webassembly, including Rust, Golang, Python (via Pyodide), and Kotlin, so that by itself isn't a great competitive differentiator either.

If you've ever tried actually doing something with webassemly, you know that none of these actually work that well and should be considered pre-alpha software. (And often abandoned or unsupported.)

Realistically at this point your only choice for webassembly is emscripten, but the code quality and documentation quality of that project is abysmal.

Grain makes sense from that point of view; something that compiles to webassembly and isn't a giant pile of unvetted legacy hacks doesn't exist right now.

> It's really simple.

As other people have pointed out, video encoding isn't stateless. You can chunk and encode in parallel, but there are tradeoffs.

The biggest problem is that you've taken what is effectively a CDN problem (serve the first chunk of a video) into a CDN and a CPU scheduling problem

Serving video is cheap, apart from the bandwidth. So anything that reduces the number of bytes transferred yields savings. Real time encoders are not as efficient as "slow" encoders.

For low volume videos (ie 99.5% of all video) the biggest cost is storage. So storing things in a high quality, or worse still, original codec makes storage expensive. Not only that you still have to transcode on the way in, or support all codecs ever made, in real time.

In short, yes, for some applications this approach might work, but for facebook or youtube, it wont.
