I love to see things like this. This hardware isn't going to last forever. While it lasts, you have people doing really low level things like this on actual hardware so it can live on in emulation. And this is one of the things a lot of people miss about MAME: it is much about documenting the hardware as emulating it.

We at saas pass authenticator and password manager solved the linux support by building a comprehensive browser extension application that does not require a desktop app at all. It is a different approach eliminating the need for a local client. All the major browsers on Linux are supported including chromium.

If history is any indicator, they will say it’s not subscription only while simultaneously leaving all the docs and kb articles on their website in a state that makes it sound like it’s subscription only. They don’t really want non-subscription customers, but they don’t want to say that outright. This has been clear for years and is the reason I’ve given up despite thinking their (non-subscription) product is worth the money. It just feels like they are always on the verge of dropping support for it.

> The fact that so many open source projects have had to adopt "code of conducts" is IMO a direct reflection of the fierce competition that has always been inherent to software development.

This is something that has bothered me about a lot of people's views on competition, whether it's sports or business or whatever. Being competitive does not have anything to do with being an asshole.

I never got into trash-talking during games. It was always just easier for me to ignore it/use the other person's trash-talking as their own distraction against me running circles around them.

And then in software, Code of Conducts are not covering anything about how the project interacts with other projects. They're covering how contributors treat each other within the project. You're not in competition with your project mates. The sorts of harassing and belitting behavior that CoCs are supposed to address (whether they do or not is a different discussion) comes about from some sort of glory-hog mentality that is ultimately anti-productive. Insert roll-safe meme: "If I drive away most of the other contributors, my own efforts will be a much bigger proportion of the overall whole".
Taiwan's DPP aims at wrong target in Covid-19 outbreak
That's a pretty good description, and many of the posts here are about fierce nerds with petty issues which I think the essay is not about.

I've grown into that fierce nerd. Being in forced conscription in my 20s has made me wary of the 'wait to rush for nothing meaningful' culture. Then I joined companies and it feels like a ton of my time is wasted by processes, norms and ideologies. I did break out once to try and make a business but that hasn't worked out. So now I'm in employment just to earn/invest to have enough for a certain level of financial independence and I'm feeling that bitterness rise up again.

I'm very likely destined to burn out of industries/companies that aren't my own quickly, and this could cascade into bad looking resumes. It feels like a do or die situation sometimes.

Really depends on the context, but I would mostly disagree with folks saying you need a "landing page" for this. It would probably be enough to just have an email that isn't your private one, and give yourself a relevant title such as "CTO" or "VP Partnerships". Also, if in doubt, call the companies.
No reason you can't use a rubber/plastic spatula when just frying eggs or making pancakes.
Absolutely untrue, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread. I have Chrome extensions published under a non-gmail email address.
That’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that if you’re the kind of founder who comes up with and executes on good ideas, other smart people want you to be part of their networks. So networking is ultimately just giving other equally cool people the chance to meet you. It’s really a service.
Are you sure you were in the proper position to define rude, mature, or productive? I don't mean this as a diss but those are all defined by either implicit or explicit standards or goals.
I'd like to see something like this used for big JavaScript bundles.

Many webapps now have 2MB+ of JavaScript, and lots of web companies do daily or even hourly software releases, which effectively means every time I visit your site I have to download many megabytes of JavaScript which takes many seconds. It's frustrating. Diffing the JavaScript and sending just the changed lines of code would save hundreds of millions of people a few seconds each day, and is totally worth it.
What a scam. All this hype and it is another Electron app. Windows and Mac versions are native and yet Linux gets a version that uses 'Electron'. Yuck.

Fortunately, to give us the illusion that it is 'fast' they need to mention that it uses 'Rust'. And?
Exactly. One of the MOST valid criticisms of a language is the way (or lack of ways) in which it can be used.
As I understand it, the test for monopoly is detrimental effect for consumers, not control of a market. Making your company more vertically integrated (by buying a back catalog in this case I guess) probably doesn't trip any alarms.

I'm surprised that they don't buy Penguin. Maybe Bertelsmann has no interest in selling.

If you think about it, publishers of print/music/movies are essentially built on monopoly given the single sourcing of a title. It's not as simple as cornering the market on wheat or oil.
Yeah I did assume that, I just meant like maybe it would be a redundant prefix if it were your personal blog, but since it isn't it's a succinct way of saying 'this post is not about PartsBox but I think you'll like it anyway'.

And neither did the reverse, in a much less publicized affair on the side of the Atlantic where Claas Relotious spent a decade captivating the masses.

Documents that SPIEGEL has been able to review show that the BND, until a few years ago, actually had considerable interest in the United States as a target of espionage. The document states that just under 4,000 search terms, or selectors, were directed against American targets between 1998 and 2006.

The German intelligence agency used the selectors to surveil telephone and fax numbers as well as email accounts belonging to American companies like Lockheed Martin, the space agency NASA, the organization Human Rights Watch, universities in several U.S. states and military facilities like the U.S. Air Force, the Marine Corps and the Defense Intelligence Agency, the secret service agency belonging to the American armed forces. Connection data from far over 100 foreign embassies in Washington, from institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Washington office of the Arab League were also accessed by the BND's spies.

The entries also prove the existence of a top-secret anti-terror alliance between Western intelligence services, including those of Germany, the United States and France. SPIEGEL already reported back in 2005 on the elite unit, which is named Camolin. The papers now show several BND selectors were "Camolin-related."

Also on the selector list were lines at the U.S. Treasury Department, the State Department and the White House.

Distribution was physical back in the day, your choice of cinema was dictated by location. Locking specific movies to specific cinemas was a detriment to the public for that reason. Does that matter when the alternative is via distribution by internet? Honestly, you can sub to netflix for one month, watch everything you want and then unsub, same with all the other services. Has there ever been a point in history where there's more content available for cheaper than right now?

The irony. The bride of capitalism basks in welfare benefits. All the while paying minimal taxes and working tirelessly to turn workers basically into machines ;)

A smarter move by politicians would be use these same dollars to support worker owned co-ops in a greater way. They have proven to be more efficient as a businesses model and better at shifting money to more hands. Plus, good jobs for the workers :)
The two group categorization is a rhetorical device commonly used everywhere, throughout the world, to help drive a point, worldview, or allegory home. In it's correct form, it is never intended to be a dichotomy (as this would make it fallacious).

So perhaps the way to understand it is PG believes people fit in these two groups, but those are not the only two groups you fit in, and they are by no means all-encompassing.

It's kind of like, you are either a member of team red, or team blue. You may be a blue type of person, another is a red, but that by no means defines the entirety of your being.

Let's try to have a little more good faith here, when trying to understand people's musings. The reality is, most of us here wouldn't have the courage to put our thoughts and opinions out there on the internet for the whole world to see, at least not to the extent PG does.
> Hydrogen cars have tiny batteries that don't need to support fast charging.

Because that's what they think consumers want, not because of technological limitations. Size is not a requirement for high power batteries. The Porsche 918 has a 6.8 kWh battery that can do 210 kW. That's ~31 kW per kWh, compared to a top-end Model S at ~6 kW/kWh.

> Hydrogen doesn't have this characteristic.

Hydrogen itself doesn't. But the fuel cells do. I can imagine there will be problems with the plumbing as well, as hydrogen has a tendency to make materials it comes into contact with brittle.

> If one lives in a cold weather climate, owning a Tesla isn't as advantageous.

Eh, it's fine. Norway is the EV capital of the world. Range is decreased, but it's not really a problem in day-to-day driving. We have an older 30kWh EV, with less than 100km range in winter. It's almost never an issue. Even driving 2 hours to a cabin is fine with a fast-charge that takes less time than buying groceries next to the fast charge station.

In colder climates, it's more common for people to have garages where they can charge at home. There are even colder areas, and remote areas where the range really is a big issue, but then we're talking about areas with very small populations. If all of them continue to drive diesel cars, it'll be a microscopic blip in terms of global CO2 emissions.
To be fair, this man's job was to identify the type of person who is likely to succeed at startups, and by most accounts he was very successful at it.

Understanding personality traits and how they relate to the people you're looking for has felt critically important as I work on my startup. It has come up over and over again in hiring (including MANY more inbound, exploratory conversations than I would have expected) and in client management (identifying the best point of contact on their side, but also keeping clients on track and responsive during an onboard).

A Tesla with under half a charge charges at a rate of 1000km of range per hour at a Supercharger. So 10 minutes of charging is definitely not a full charge but it is often a useful charge.
Well, we could certainly speak to the difference between those whose emotional needs are served by sharing their advice with the world, and those for whom they aren't.

The reason that 4 quadrant divisions of the world seem like they always work is because any two vectors chosen at random in a high dimensional space are nearly orthogonal with high probability.

> I have no reason to believe that the M1's performance starts tanking if you run it for longer than a few seconds

This statement speaks volumes about your bias. You're immediately on the defensive and assuming we're attacking the M1 rather than the assumptions made in a test and it's methodology.

No one was implying that the M1's performance would tank. I specifically conjectured that perhaps x86, not M1, might have a penalty.

The original assertion made was that all x86 compiles were ~30% slower than the M1, but the benchmark was a ~20 compile. What happens if the compile is hours?

If the penalty is ~30% linear then a 60 minute compile on M1 is 80 minutes on x86. But if there's just a 10 second warmup penalty on x86 the compile time might only be 60 minutes + 10 seconds.

The truth is probably somewhere in between.

Thanks for your answer. I invented this cover just for myself. It's still DIY and I want to move forward and produce it on professional machines. But I can't do it without people who will be ready to buy it.

Price on the landing page is very exemplary. Just to understand which will be optimal and calculate production costs.

Using of plastic shutter is a bad idea, because you can damage your laptop and you can't stick it on your mobile phone.

Using of Post-It is a bad idea, because you need to stick and unstick it every time, when you want to open/close your camera. This process leaves marks on your screen. Sticky note may suddenly fall off.

My cover in opposite very thin and has a mechanism to open/close without unsticking.
The vertical integration of the distribution of media and the production of media is extremely problematic because of the way copyright operates in this country.

I think you have to examine vertical integration in copyright affected industries differently than you would in, say, the vertical integration of steel production with a company that consumes steel.

The interaction with copyright invariably creates issues for the end-consumer, which is why consumers in the media ecosystem are often better off when distributors and producers are separate.

You can go to the nearest climbing store and give them some samples to sell for free. Tell them if they sell and they want to order more, call you back. This is a risk free way for the climbing store to earn 100% profit. In return, you get to test out the market to see if there is a need for your product.

The only risk is that they have to trust you and you have to prove that your products does not have any chemicals that harms consumers. Perhaps have your products verified in a lab.
They do, for example there are limits on how low VAT can be.

I’m responding with derision because you’re so casually hand-waving away attacks on Israel as no big deal or not the same because they are “able to flee” (you still haven’t specified where is the safe place they can flee to). Have some empathy for Israeli civilians, just as you have empathy for Gazan civilians.

As for the technical question of “most densely populated“ or “more densely populated“ I don’t know why people keep bringing up stuff like supposed “ability to flee“ “bordered by other countries or by the sea or surrounded by countryside“ when arguing about population density. None of these things change the population density. Otherwise I could say “Hawaii is extremely densely populated by virtue of the fact that it’s really really really far from continental mainlands“ which makes no sense.
Self defense is provocative?
The article is an attempt of classifying people into neat groups with certain characteristics, without acknowledging their true inner personality as a result of the cultural background and the particular individual qualities. "Nerd" is one such classification, "fierce" is a sub-classification. Semantic word-play with little empirical or anecdotal evidence.
I think its mostly due to the diffusion of what a "nerd" is. Being a "nerd" or a "geek" used to be a insult, now its trendy for some reason, and seems to mostly be a term for modern consumerist culture (buy lots of stuff in some sort of genre and be a nerd)
The tank I linked to says it stores at 400psi, and the material data sheet indicates it doesn't vent the hydrogen in a way that creates a significant fire hazard. So I don't think these need the same kind of protection as a high-psi tank. Though I'm sure there are challenges, or we would have heard about them being proposed.

> None of these are big oil producing nations so the conspiracy theory does not make sense.

Big companies such as Shell are pushing Hydrogen via something called the "EU green deal". This while Shell (and similar) do not expect hydrogen to be produced via green methods for 15+ years. They push the EU to "subsidize" hydrogen (and other things), to basically get loads of money from people in an indirect way.

This was e.g. reported via the journalists at ftm.nl. They're probably unknown to most people here, but loads of their findings resulted in loads of issues for the government (scandals, fraud, etc).

If you're aching for typespecs in Elixir being useful, but are dissapointed with Dialyzer, I recommend checking out my library Hammox: https://github.com/msz/hammox. It's an improved version of Mox, the de-facto mocking library for Elixir, which you can use to automatically assert in tests that your mock calls, or any function calls, fit your typespecs.

I personally found that with rigorous enough usage, I don't even miss having actual static typing anymore ;)
