I think the article focuses on JS execution CPU usage and its savings on M91, so it doesn't count for all the CPU Chrome uses.

About the split, it depends a lot on the type of content.

If you're visiting a statically generated page, that's negligible on the server and puts the strain on the client: Document formatting, JS execution, image rendering, etc.

If you're dialling into a 10 person google meet, your laptop fans will start spinning fast, but also the server needs to transcode/serve the video (well, multiple servers, multiple services most likely) so heavy on both sides.

If you're consuming some elaborate web dashboard with high data requirements, then the strain is probably on the server side.
I stopped identifying as atheist when I realized most religious people I encountered thought that meant I wanted to outlaw their religion. I inadvertently put myself in a box with people who were the main association folks had with that word.

Sometimes I want this effect so I can help change impressions. Like: furry and nonbinary. The goal then is to help bridge the gap between stereotype and the real human variety contained by those words.
File Handling API not sure if this is a great idea
Brave is based on Chromium, so you're not going to get much more other than a preinstalled adblocker and a few other tweaks. The memory usage won't look much better.
The advancement of CAD software over the last 20 years has been one step forward, one step back. There are lots of small, genuinely helpful everyday improvements (try doing modeled threads in Solidworks 2001 vs 2021), but they've also packaged in a lot of obnoxious "functionality" that is constantly nosing it's way into your workflow. The 3D modeling suites are IMO overall more usable, but the 2D stuff was arguably more usable before the ribbon craze.

Autodesk's present scheme seems to be to make as much of their software cloud-connected, with the purpose of entrapping all your company's vital IP within.

That's just a propaganda of the CCP to hide the fact that Communism has failed their people and now they need to adopt a certain degree of Capitalism with free market to boost the economy. Same thing with the Vietnamese, an attempt to rebrand their Communism.
Can you extrapolate all manned flight numbers (which are done by people with much more experience at it) to Blue Origin which has apparently only done 14 flights of New Shepard ever?
> Most people have zero shots, or at best one,

This reflects my experience.

Co-founded a company, and we did OK for a while. At some point, we made a mistake that killed us.

I think I learned from that mistake, but have not had the opportunity to try again - the first lesson cost my savings to that point.

They don't care about people busting ass for no reward and mostly downside, why should they care about someone doing it for much better odds?
There's version control other that Git / GitHub / etc. It's even possible to forego version control and just release tarballs somewhere.
You can come up with any number of scifi-ish explanations: aliens, humans from the future, lost/forgotten civilizations. But it could also be someone testing an uncommon craft.

Frankly, we don't know, and one of the reasons is, I believe, people are hesitant to take a serious look at it (or even talk about it) because they don't want to be classified as kooks.
You are generalizing too much. Spotify has to cover way more than just playback etc., it's a streaming service, the client is only a small part.

As a whole Spotify includes way more functionality than winamp, they have completely different goals though. Winamp is a player, Spotify is a service. Nobody would use Spotify as a pure music client, you can't really compare them.
> You said you worked on the library at Intel. Doesn’t that qualify as getting paid for your work?

It just shifts the problem along; instead of getting paid, you need to justify to Intel why they should pay you. Showing that you're keeping customers happy, building Intel brand value etc. can be part of that, but only if they give you feedback.
If you actually study history (not YouTube, history books) you’ll find starving people and human rights violations to be a common cause for revolution.

The live-action sequel of the 101 Dalmatians live-action movie, (102 Dalmatians) also had a bizarre scene in the end where Cruella is baked into an enormous cake. She is mixed in a huge batter, baked alive (she survives, only the cake around here is baked) and blasted with frosting, all by the smart dogs working together. As a kid I remember it being pretty other-wordly.
It was a dark and stormy night.

Yep. Scratch your itch. If someone else wants different features then let them add them or compensate you for your effort, unless of course working on those changes is interesting for you or would help scratch your itches. If you do it for the "interesting/fun" reason make damn sure the requester knows that if that interest/fun stops then free work on the feature will stop and it might get removed completely if not maintaining it becomes a security problem or other burden.

"But what about the community?!" you hear them cry. Fuck 'em. Or at least suggest they do something for the community they care so much about by putting in a bit of effort in to maintain it, maybe forking your project to do so while you deprecate the feature and work on things that are interesting or useful to you, or paying you to work on the bits they particularly want and you don't. Your mental health should be much higher up your priority list than doing work to help people who (call me cynical, but...) probably wouldn't do the same in reverse.

Sounds reasonable. Just heads up that you may need to face those implications sooner or later. To the best of my knowledge (and IANAL, but I have worked extensively with lawyers on similar questions), if your ffmpeg.wasm contains any GPL code, you are obligated to provide the complete "original" source code of the product on request to anyone to whom you've distributed the compiled version.

You may want to check with a lawyer, and/or read the ffmpeg FAQ about that, and/or recompile with --disable-gpl --disable-nonfree - and that only brings you to the point where you need to let people use their own ffmpeg.wasm (and not be obligated to provide your source code).

https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html is actually required reading for anyone who uses ffmpeg in a product, commercial, free/libre or free/gratis.

I have an acquaintance who's a lawyer specializing in these issues, and he's usually called in to put out (legal) fires because people ignored open source licenses in commercial products. Copyright infringement laws are crazy complicated and in many ways incompatible with the modern ways of software, but they are what they are, and must be considered.
If that were the case, I would expect the number of hours that people work would be going down, the conditions would be getting better and the pay would increase.

There has been a lot of improvement in some parts of the world, especially some of the (formerly) worst, but a lot of workers are experiencing the opposite even while profits and productivity skyrocket.
Yeah I get your point. I'd note though that in policy often times it is less about the realities of a project and more about how that project can be sold.

While it is certainly true that this should be handled at an international/community level, it often just isn't. Selling the idea of solving indirect (VAT or sales) tax fraud through invoice matching and handling cross border trades while simultaneously not needing one state to trust another (even if that isn't strictly and in all instances true) can be a powerful pitch.

A decade ago I can remember forums suggesting you take out your hard drive out of your Mac when you send it in for repair. Part of the reason was privacy and the other part was user upgraded RAM or HD being removed by the repair techs and you getting billed for it.

I believe there was another case where the FBI was getting Best Buy’s Geek Squad repair centers to report CP.

It’s worth mentioning that Tim Ferriss didn’t actually get wealthy by following his own advice.

I would give the book another read as it’s not a book about hoarding wealth, but instead about accumulating life experiences. Rather than waiting until you’re 65 to retire and travel the world/learn to sail/etc., you can do so in your 20s while remaining financially afloat.

We work to live, not live to work.

Much of his wealth actually comes from good timing on being an early investor in companies like Uber.

Also Shopify, Duolingo, Alibaba, and many others. Not sure why you have an axe to grind with Tim. Of all the public influencers he’s the most forthcoming about his background and has done a lot of good (through psychedelic research, sustainability, etc.)

He works (worked?) at Formlabs, and seems to have access to some incredibly nice tools for machining, cutting, and forming all the various bits he designs.

While not mentioned in the videos, I'm guessing he also has the ability to ping some tough questions off people who would point him in the right direction quickly, but my guess is it's just a big passion and he's good at it.
Had a similar experience at a previous job. I'd debugged a problem with one system down to a flaky drive, which I extracted and took to our sysadmin. Without hesitation, he slammed it down on the floor.

"It's not flaky now."

The thing is, I knew a lot more than he did about how hard drives work, but he knew a lot more about how vendors work. A flaky drive might be hard to replace. A dead one wouldn't. Lesson learned.
It's very sad to see this happen. Open Source project leads, this is important: You need to stop thinking about other people using your project.

It's incredibly kind of you to consider your users so much, but OSS only works (in the I'm-just-a-guy-in-a-basement-without-funding way) if it is a personal project. That is to say, if it's something you make for yourself, for fun. Once you start worrying about other people, how they will use it, what they want, etc, it stops being fun. If it's not fun, and you're not getting paid for it, it's just going to kill the project (and can make you totally stressed out).

There are strategies you can use to maintain the project:

- Put out a call for help on your README. Ask for developers to join your project. Ask for people to field user requests. Ask for people to write documentation. You may not get any help at all, but sometimes all you need to do is ask.

- Create a specific method of receiving requests, like a mailing list (one for bugs, one for discussion, one for feature requests, one for security). A mailing list can act as a small road block to filter out less urgent requests, and can make it slightly easier to manage in one place.

- In the past I have tried "feature bounties", a sort of donation where someone paid me just to develop some feature. It didn't work out well. I still had a full-time job, so while the extra money was nice, I still had to dedicate all my extra time to the feature, and if I got sick of it and wanted to quit, I felt extra bad because I had accepted a donation just for it. Plus it required more support later. So I still think you should ignore any requests that aren't something you personally want, and remind people to send you patches if they want code merged. Donations are nice, but be wary if they make you feel beholden to the users.

- Be direct with people. Tell them, "This is my personal project, I only spend X hours a week/month on it, so do not expect any support or features." Sometimes this is enough to get people off your back. Otherwise, I recommend moving off of GitHub or disabling all the features so you don't get barraged with requests.

- Above all: have fun! If you're not having fun with your project, either end it, or make some changes to make it fun again.

The Affinity software[1] has been excellent for my usecases. Their pricing is also incredible, with Photo and Designer each running $25 right now. Last week one of our employees said during a call that Photo their best software purchase in recent years.

That being said, my Adobe experience was heavy in Photoshop. Affinity Photo is more competitive there (their content-aware fill is impressive). Designer still has some ways to go to compete with Illustrator on level ground.

Rswag looks cool, will try it out. There are tests for rails controllers and I have recently setup Cypress for component testing, will be focusing on tests the coming days.
For a while Open Source was a great way to project skill onto employers, and employers reaped recruiting benefits for having a large open source portfolio. This extended to the point that companies would accept internal inefficiency to support an open source release of a portion of their code. This has detectably changed in the last 5 years or so as getting a top project on github has both become more difficult as well as a more common bragging right. Everybody has some open source, so the marginal benefit to a company of releasing another project is low.

It would be great if there was a method for privately tracking who uses what libraries so that the marketing/support model could be used. Tons of companies use Tensorflow to run on TPUs, but Google doesn't know if tons means 90% of their cloud customers or 5% ( unless they put library tracking directly into the TPU which ... is possible)

I'd love to see a feature on Github for tracking dependents of a project. I'd also bet that most major firms would be willing to allocate a small funding level to ensure that lynchpin dependencies such as OpenSSL, git, maven and other projects remain viable - after all it's probably cheaper than migration later!
The doodles are a feckless attempt for Google to be personable despite their horns. Egh.

It's almost like open-source needs a micropayments solution.

If every download cost a tiny amount, could it add up to pay some maintainers full time?
I'm also imagining that the bulk of his personality and self-identity are wrapped around science, engineering and space exploration. As much as he misses all the creature comforts of Earth, the actual challenges of surviving on Mars make him feel like a pig in slop. He's being asked to flex every mental muscle he's spent his lifetime building up, honed even sharped by fear of oblivion. If it were me, I'd probably have the same attitude.

The thing I think Weir missed is that as soon as he's embraced by his crew on their ship, I'd expect to him (and me) to absolutely break down in sobbing tears after a year of pent up tension.
It will be worse for the employers than anyone else. McDonald's can train anyone to flip a burger, but if they are only getting 2 hours of work from someone they are net negative as the person training could do the job. With just a little experience though the new person can flip burgers on his own leaving the trainer to do some other station.

The same for every other job - you are either hiring someone who already has the experience to do the job right, or you are hiring someone for long enough that the time spent teaching them to do the job is paid off by all the work they do after they learn how to do it.
This is correct and will probably only be broken from a crazy differentiating hardware offering (like a self-driving tractor). It's coming...
i mean it definitely would be a giant disaster, for certain business owners who's business model only works if they pay absolute poverty wages and thus UBI would force them to actually invest in either people or automation.

So why would someone release malware in f-droid, when the user base is not your average joe and would likely know how to counter or detect any attacks?

This is the second person in this thread to think using an open source repo as an example carries weight. There are less users, therefore less malware is released here in the first place and then there’s less load for the malware filters for that that does get through.
No no. What I meant was that, the automation usually costs around 15x-20x annual salaries of the workers, one time cost maintenance comes after . So unless you get MORE THAN 20x - 30x yield per year, no one is gonna care about automating the process.
> When you create something you place your own time, finances, energy at risk - in many cases you get a low ROI in return.

The laborer class doesn't risk time; they simply have it consumed. They also risk their own finances and energy, with the "ROI" being often to do things like decide between food and $5 in gas for the drive to work tomorrow.

The problem I have with entrepreneurship evangelists is that they elide important context from the discussion: the role a secure financial life growing up and into adulthood provides.

Nobody would say the act of building a business is not hard work, requiring sacrifice and long hours. That isn't at all what "equality warriors" object to. The objection is to the notion that that kind of hard work is even possible for everybody.

Almost everyone will not have the opportunity to commit to the hard work of an entrepreneur.
The Senate's consent is required to ratify certain treaties.

It all depends on what the treaty's terms require the government to do. If the terms can be fulfilled by executive power, the executive can sign and ratify on its own (executive agreement). If the terms need the force of congressional legislation to implement, it can be ratified on a regular legislative vote of both houses of congress (executive-legislative agreement).

The ones that require a Senate supermajority are the ones that "legislate" in areas outside of Congress's normal jurisdiction. e.g. the US Congress probably can't pass a law prohibiting states from using the death penalty, but with a 2/3 Senate vote it could sign a treaty banning it.

(Another advantage of going "up" a level is that repealing or withdrawing from a treaty is more difficult the higher you go, generally requiring a similar authority to withdraw as was used to ratify.)

This brought back some memories. In July 2004, I made a Firefox extension to "fix" a bad redesign of the website All Music Guide (my blog post: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/all-music-guide/). To my knowledge this was the first instance of a site-specific browser extension.

Aaron Boodman saw that idea and took it much farther by developing Greasemonkey, which made the idea more general and more powerful.
