You just described the cycle, not a path to exit it. There is no such thing as "genuinely configuration now and always", nor "genuinely not configuration".

Systems change, and requirements of those systems change. Oh now someone wants to do more things with what used to be 'just configuration': scale it up and to work across many instances by scripting configuration templates with parameters. Look, all of this scripted automation is doing the same things that can be neatly divided into buckets, can we simplify it and turn it into a few configuration options? And so the cycle repeats. The churn is not reducible to labeling it as pointless make-work, its born of changing and growing systems.
I've been doing it for close to 10 years. I hate trying to navigate on friends/parents smart tvs. They are slow, the UI doesnt always make a lot of sense, the cable provider guide always seems to be fighting with the smart tv guide/pages.

"I find IP based mail blacklist services such as BRBL obsolete and possibly harmful"

Fully agree to this. I've always wonder why spam filters don't place more importance on domain reputation. So many senders runs on the same IP for deliveries and it's really silly to blatantly block someone based on IP.

For example, $89.95/mo is the starting price to get a dedicated IP for sending with Sendgrid.
Email from EC2 instances will be blocked because of the high amount of spam that comes from those IPs.

I, for one, have gone through extended periods of willful unemployment with the good graces of some very caring friends. I didn't not want to work, but I did want a job that valued and compensated me fairly. Most companies do not do either. We can argue about cause and effect, but I suspect a lot of the problem is the failure of government to intervene in the disconnection of productivity and wages. We probably won't be cutting million dollar checks to parents and children as restitution for this theft, but we should right this wrong systematically by giving the workers the vast majority of the profits their labor creates.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I shit on company time. If I got paid fairly and had a seat at the table for discussions about profit sharing then I would plan my shits to not impede my work. Until then, big capital can keep blowing their hot air, workers don't care what these suits think and are realizing the suits don't even care about the health of safety of the workers themselves, let alone their ability to afford a family or house.

A non-crappy remote that has to be constantly plugged in for charging..
Yes, I've been looking for something like that. I think there are two great under-explored use-cases for this:

1. Laptop ergonomics are really poor for taller people who need to hunch over to see a screen. Decoupling the screen from the compute unit would help here, while also enabling users to mix-and-match compute and display technologies, and upgrade them independently.

2. That same compute unit could also be paired with a VR headset, creating mobile VR not unlike what MagicLeap was doing with their compute units: https://www.roadtovr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/magic-le...

When compared to something like the Quest 2, this would allow for a much more comfortable headset due to reduced weight and size, while providing a much more performant system.
Sandbox mode is also great for low-volume internal mail like notifications from cron.

My guess is that the main argument for sandbox mode is that it requires you to explicitly say you don’t spam and will handle reports, giving them carte blanche to yank your account if you do. Given how slimy email marketing is I suspect someone at AWS didn’t want to deal with people lying to their support people all of the time.
> Non-disclosure is on the way in. Non-disparagement is on the way out.

Depends. 80% sure the last place I worked at had Non-Disparagement on hire. They were not primarily an IT company, and their primary pool of new recruits for their core business was adults fresh out of college. I don't think it's entirely coincidental that there was a -lot- of scary language in the agreements/handbook that seemed geared towards making sure people were afraid to talk about the problems the organization had.

I mean, it's kind of textbook vertical monopoly.

Selling Windows is fine - you're competing over who makes the better OS. Selling Internet Explorer is fine - you're competing over who makes the better web browser.

But using Windows to push Internet Explorer is not fine - you're using your unrelated OS superiority to fight off Netscape Navigator.

It's a distorted market because the consumer is induced to go with iTunes over Spotify not because iTunes has the more appealing product, but because Apple makes iPhones. If the exact same software as iTunes was made by a non-Apple company, it wouldn't necessarily compete.

--

And I'm not sure it would be "fair" if AppStore didn't allow music apps, either. With web browsers and app stores, there's a decent case to be made that allowing those apps would compromise the iPhone product/ecosystem as a whole (although I'm personally of the "It's my phone and I demand to be able to install whatever the hell I want on it" philosophy and loathe walled gardens in all forms). Banning music apps simply because they compete with their own product would likely attract Vestager's ire just as well.
> Among the people there are non-Japanese

I find it quaint the idea that where will be a concept of "Japanese" and "non-Japanese" in 1300 years from now.

If you assume the rate of progress is fixed (which it isn't, as we know, it accelerates), you can get some sense of how farfetched this idea is. 1300 years ago was the year 721 CE. There was no unified Japan then[1] (nor likely even a concept of "Japanese" identity as most imperial practices were modeled from China), nor was there a "Europe," a "Mexico," or a "South Africa." There certainly wasn't the notion of national identity in the modern sense, as such concepts would have been alien to village-dwellers living under feudal lords.

After many cycles of political consolidation and fracturing, it is unlikely in 1300 years there will be a unified Japan; but, more likely, the entire pan-Asian sphere will have been unified (probably under China), if not under the purview of a world government. Sino-Japanese languages will probably mix Australasian language groups, borrowing heavily from English, creating a dialect that would sound as alien to us as Chaucer does now[2].

In 1300 years, global warming will render a good portion of the planet uninhabitable without artificial climate controls, and new parts of the planet never before populated will experience a flourishing of new development. Major cities will develop in hitherto uninhabited land in Siberia, Canada and elsewhere, probably creating new power centers we can't even begin to contemplate. New nations will rise and challenge dominant superpowers for position. There will be at least one more major global war in the next millennium, which could result in a complete shift of power, or nuclear winter or annihilation of a good % of humanity.

And they think some stones are going to survive.

What kind of performance issue do u notice? It's a relatively old video, at 500 simultaneous players lna single map it takes around 25ms to update the ai+quadtree+ a list update of who sees who, meanwhile processing 500 moves + broadcasting these Infos to everyone in the view (which are all 500)

This is worst case for it, the other maps do not see any load by this and its basically a single core bottleneck, also it's very unoptimized code 500 processes sending messages to a single map process

There was a recent reveal in court documents where Apple tried together with Adobe to make it work but Adobe couldn't pull it off. Now, I think the point about Apple not being interested in PWAs still stands but I think this kind of thinking is rather new at Apple and ever increasing since Tim Cook took over (Other, better examples of this line of thinking are imo, the omission of critical accessories, the ridiculous upselling in all product families and the increasing intrusion of Apple ads in the OS).

You could also argue that the entire market is simply a reflection of society and humanity in general. As an American, I don't really see the market we've built as any more maniacal than the society we've built. They seem to go hand in hand to me.

I agree Polin seems to undervalue (or just not understand?) what a publisher brings to the table, but I did get the impression he is trying to do this as an offshoot of his vlogging business more than "as a photographer" and for that, flying solo might have advantages outside the actual sales and publicity of the book.

Funny that you say people don't really buy art: the primary complaint from artists about the art world is that there's too much money in it. Lots of people buy art, and lots of people make art, and lots of people sell art: for at least these three measures, more people than ever have at any previous time in recorded history. But sure, more people don't than do.

You're being unfairly downvoted, so allow me to actually answer your first question.

QEMU doesn't have much of a GUI to speak of. It's a virtualization framework with some CLI tooling on top of it. Frontends/management UI's/etc are left as an exercise to the community so you can find one that suits your needs.

QtEmu is another: https://qtemu.org
The first sentence of the article does imply that, as you say, but the writer got the implication wrong.

Later in the article they quote the researchers:

> “We argue there really isn’t much of a benefit to the 6-foot rule, especially when people are wearing masks” since everyone in the room is breathing the same air, Bazant said in an interview. “It really has almost no physical basis because the air a person is breathing while wearing a mask tends to rise and comes down elsewhere in the room so you’re more exposed to the average background than you are to a person at a distance.”

> Without masks, however, Bazant said 6 feet would provide some additional protection against Covid-19 versus 3 feet. That’s particularly true if a person is breathing directly in your direction, creating what scientists call a “respiratory plume,” like a puff of smoke from a smoker. Their research was based on models that assume the air in the room is “well mixed” and that “the pathogen is distributed uniformly throughout,” they said in a follow-up statement to CNBC on Monday.

Maybe you can help answer this question for me because I come at it from a very different place: why is it expected that you can make a living from art? I am not trying to disparage it, but it seems to me that most art, while having artistic value, carries little monetary value. When art was relatively rare, you might want to decorate your home or business with a specific piece. But today nothing is stopping most people from printing out photos they took or buying mass produced decorations in the form of paintings or photos from places like Target or IKEA. Moreover, most artists I’ve seen usually push the envelope in terms of form and factor. Some of the coolest art I’ve seen has been non-traditional: a 30’ birds nest made of 10,000 old T-shirts. A kettle made of soldered metal buttons. A huge outdoor concrete ring. These things are amazing, but as a consumer I would pay a small sum to see them once and never a large sum to take them home.

I also struggle a bit to understand the percentage of artists who make a living off art vs total numbers. I am a hobbyist photographer and have been hanging around photo subreddits a bunch. One thing I see is that every year more and more people pick up a camera and try to make art (street photography are landscapes are big it seems). But not many can make a living off it and those that do mostly do things like event, corporate, real estate, or wedding photography (so more service than creative). In other words when everyone is a photographer/artist, only a few will be able to make money, but in absolute numbers there still seems to be a steady demand for high quality art. I guess this is a bit like everyone can cook but only a few Michelin Star chefs exist and not every cook can expect to be a high profile chef.

Curious about your thoughts on this.
