Good riddance to rubbish. College sports is a business, pay the athletes and stop pretending that the vast majority of money sports--football and basketball--players are really students.
This certainly takes me back. I was a wee teen in the late '90s, but I too remember so many commercials and movies that represented the Internet as a new paradigm for visually-oriented computing. Not really skeumorphic designs of file folders and desktops and 'My Briefcase' icons.

I still think about that GUI Tom Cruise navigates in Minority Report. The film is almost 20 years old, and yet GUI design today seems to be focused on hiding more and more elements, instead of making the canvas bigger to display more info.
> 20 years ago we had 800x600 screens

My iiyama VisionMaster was doing 1600x1200 @ 90Hz and running Quake 3 just fine back in 1999/2000.

> better compositing, much better text and graphic rendering, better antialiasing, all around higher quality and faster rendering.

Thank you Nvidia, I guess? They have been carrying the water since the late '90s when everyone else dropped the ball.

But let's get something straight. When we went from CRT to LCD/LED we weren't picking visual fidelity. We, as a consumer base, picked convenience. Thin and light vs. great colors, contrast, viewing angles, refresh rates, etc. My first LCD was in 2004. It was an expensive top of the line brand. I took it home and the ghosting was incredible. Massive input lag. If you were sitting in your chair and just leaned back, all the colors would shift on the display. The viewing angle was nonexistent. I took it back the next day. We are just now getting to the point of matching a CRT from the '90s. And you may have noticed we still don't have OLED on the desktop.

Around that same time we all got stuck with perhaps the worst crime against monitor tech: 16:9 aspect ratios. Not only is that aspect not "cinematic" (theatrical 16:9 does not exist), but we're leaving tons of resolution and screen space on the table. Because your monitor will always have the same footprint due to the width, we could have much better vertical resolution if we stuck with 4:3. Consumer TV fads really hurt the computing industry.

> support for web standards has changed dramatically in the last 10 years.

Yeah well, Webpack, Babel, and numerous polyfills all say otherwise. We're only just now dropping support for IE11 everywhere. Maybe that's the light at the end of the tunnel? But I have my doubts. The incentives are too high for the web to fully standardize. Embrace-and-extend will continue. Developing for the web has never been more complex than it is today.

The other bit of sad news is that the web is no longer open. HTML5 is not an open technology. It requires proprietary DRM which only a few companies allow you to use.

Agree, after using python for work on research for one of my papers it was wholly insufficient. I ended up writing more Cython than Python to achieve the performance I needed on a mere 100,000 points of data. My performance metrics were similar but I think it was 200-300x slower for me due to all the extra cruft that gets carried around with data structures.

That being said I use Python in my professional life without complaint. It’s performant for 99% of that work.

I will just never use Python for novel research again unless there are already libraries I can lean on. You’ll find a lot of the big FAANGs using Python have their own implementation of it. Famously Dropbox hired GVR to implement a special performant LLVM based Python.
I guess it's a good thing I didn't say it was totally reasonable to remove metrics from the treadmill. Quite literally stated I understand why people are frustrated and I hope they add them back.

SimCity shaped how I see many aspects of how the world was constructed, especially as a child.

The author mentions how Dziga Vertov and the French New Wave subverted the tools of the medium to expose the lie at the core of cinema. These ideas then circulated and transformed cinema to the core.

Seeing these strange games used as examples is a great parallel. It is logical conclusion that we really are in the midst of a somewhat similar big leap in gaming and simulation, both as a tool and an artform.
> Yeah probably no lurking variable there...

You are teaching kids to be uncomfortable with each other based on what they look like. You are telling kids that they are fundamentally different from each other. You are telling kids that "race" is the most important element of their identity, and that they are wrong for trying to overlook how they are different.

That is child abuse.

I've heard fire and brimstone priests who turn people against each other use exactly the same defense for traumatizing kids. It is something like: It's not my fault that I'm giving 6 year olds nightmares; I'm just exposing them to reality. I'm actually helping them!

Telling children that they are terrible people and need your permission to be good is a horrible thing to do. And I think that in the future you will end up being seen as no better than abusive clergy.

> Imagine replacing CRT in this sentence with quantum physics or advanced macroeconomics. It doesn't make sense, and leaning heavily on "oh but the children" doesn't really win any points if you don't have a rational explanation of how this is happening.

It makes perfect sense. If everyone is learning a flawed or incomplete version of quantum mechanics, then that is what quantum mechanics effectively is. The fact that a "better" version of it exists somewhere is meaningless. Physics isn't right because feelings and because a majority of people say it is right. This is basic epistemology.

If you can defend any ideology by simply saying that the version being widely taught is wrong, and somewhere, there is a correct version of it.

You can try to defend CRT abuse by saying that it isn't "real" CRT, but that again means almost nothing. The problem is not about textual adherence, it is about abuse of people.

I'm equally not impressed with people dismissing stuff like The Killing Fields as "not really Communism", as if that even matters. People aren't complaining about the text of CRT, they are complaining about harm done to people.

And yes, if you are hurting children, you are prima facie wrong. It is an incredibly short chain of reasoning.
It's interesting you say that, I actually recently wrote a blog post title "Don't help your kids with their homework" https://www.chrisbehan.ca/posts/dont-help-your-kids-with-the... although for very different reason than you have highlighted here. Thanks for sharing your perspective (:

I'd be curious how much different it would be if you got the same 1 week off twice a year but it was for a company trip, as in the company would pay for everything to take all employees (and a +1) skiing or some other activity. This would be independent of personal time off and these 2 weeks off would still be paid.

I've never been on such a thing but I wonder if it ends up being a real vacation or if everyone is still mainly talking about work except not in front of a computer.

Does anyone want to share a few stories on how their company trips went?
The legal landscape in the U.S. may be harder to navigate, labor laws more strict, and salaries necessarily higher. This all makes it hard for U.S. manufacturing to compete on production of commodities.

Like many of the EU industries, viable U.S. industries tends to produce and export unique things with relatively small physical volume: complex chips, complex chemical compounds (like medicines), precision mechanics, high-performance agricultural equipment, aircraft, spacecraft, etc. Of course the U.S. does produce higher-volume things, too, from cars to foods to fuels, but these are more for domestic consumption, and often face competition from imported goods even domestically.
This dude writes stuff hitting the sweet spot!
Yes, and the issue is the level of offense and threat. My curiosity is why a web site would think that it’s ok for people to be offended by “God dammit” but not by “[racial slur].”

I’m not really offended by profanity or blasphemy, but many are. So I don’t think it’s based on number of people offended.

I think I understand why hate speech is particularly dangerous, but it seems funny that other offensive speech is deemed acceptable. For example, HN allows profanity and blasphemy but not racial slurs (whether targeted or not).

Based on the principles in the blog post alone ( https://brave.com/brave-search-beta/ ), this will obviously be my new default search until it's proven sufficiently unusable.

DDG's usability has always been a bit of a problem for me, it feels more like a perl wrapper over some search bookmarks than an engine in its own right. Will give this one a go for a while, there is literally every reason to try and few reasons not to.

Enough battery for all-day power being able to fit in a device that doesn't look like complete shit (i.e. looks sufficiently like normal glasses or sunglasses) seems to be the problem.

However, as far as I can tell every major tech company still expects that problem to be solved and for them to be the Next Big Thing. I don't know why else they'd be putting so much money & PR into consumer AR efforts when it's niche at best, so long as you have to hold up a device to use it, unless they fully expect hardware development to come through in the nearish future and make AR glasses the next smartphone, in terms of becoming must-have and driving the next wave of human-computer interaction.
The data was gathered by an undercover reporter who presumably had limited access to systems and reported on what they could. Amazon were free to provide the context, but chose not to. They are also virtually alone in the scale of their business, so context stops really having any meaning: even if they actually destroy ten times less (as a percentage of items sold) than other smaller retailers, a single Amazon warehouse in a single country destroying ~20,000 items a day is still noteworthy.

I did not expect html, http, or even tcp/ip to become dominant. I didn’t expect CSP centralization. Video over http/tcp? You have got to be crazy. Portable code in text (JavaScript) seemed ridiculous.

I was quite young at the time writing file sharing and chat network applications, and did a lot of experiments building WANs for doom. Most things I was interested required single multicast and rebroadcasted packets with low ping time over a fully-decentralized network. Also, tiny bits of mobile code that would load dynamically as you use a network application. Binary serialization versus plaintext. Progressive data loading, especially with fractal image formats. This wasn’t really about the future though; it was how things worked. Looking back, technology was mostly not about how to do things better, it was about raw horsepower to do things quickly and poorly. A lot of things changed with ISPs too, because they started throttling uploads and now mine doesn’t even allow open ports. P2P ping time among neighbors is much longer than cloud ping, which is absurd. A lot of this has to do with security, which is a bigger desk than I thought it would be.

So, I was wrong about a lot of stuff.
"The report would be a lot more useful if there were some context for this data. How many items do comparable places like Wal Mart warehouses destroy each week? What's the reason for these items being marked for destruction? What percentage of the products are these; how many items go through the warehouse per week that are not destroyed?"

If you read the article you might have caught some context:

"Many vendors choose to house their products in Amazon’s vast warehouses.
But the longer the goods remain unsold, the more a company is charged to store them. It is eventually cheaper to dispose of the goods, especially stock from overseas, than to continue storing the stock."

and

""Overall, 50 percent of all items are unopened and still in their shrink wrap. The other half are returns and in good condition. Staff have just become numb to what they are being asked to do.”"
For mass extinctions there is the common explanation that it takes a long time after each extinction before enough diversity is built up again for another major extinction.

For example after the current Anthropocene one we likely won't have another one any time soon because there is not enough diversity left for a true mass extinction.

That gives a natural effect where mass extinctions are spaced with some minimum interval. They're not independent events.

It's good for Google to have competition but they, or someone else, could just buy Brave and mangle or kill it.

Turning web search into a protocol is what is needed. Maybe Brave could do this by sharing their index and creating a standard system for sharing indexes, spam blocklists, and whatever else is needed to operate an open web index that competes with Google.

Tropico is pretty good, but has the opposite problem.

Your people are too poor to typically afford a car. So you set up a fancy car network (aka: parking garages), but the majority of your citizens spend hours walking everywhere, slowing your city to a crawl.

You try to fix the problem by making "free busses", but setting up good bus routes remains difficult.

You end up clicking the "free cars" button at great costs but... it does in fact solve that problem.

----------

There's also cheeky political commentary that Tropico is fully aware of. Catering to the religion faction increases your birthrate, but diminishes the academics. You'll get fewer high school graduates / college graduates, so industries like Oil refining become impossible.

Or, you can cater to academics who tend to become Capitalists, but then they get angered by communist aligned policies like free cars and/or free housing.

Then you suddenly go full communist, and the Americans invade, ending your reign. Or vice versa, if you go full capitalists, the USSR invades and the game ends.

Then you start a new game and tell your hackers to steal the White House. (What? I never said this game was perfectly realistic...)

> Why would more features equal less performance? […] Otherwise it's just another callback/if etc.

Wait, really? Are you serious? Adding features historically is - by far - the single biggest cause of bloat and losing perf on a given fixed hardware configuration. I have no idea why you’re suggesting that unnamed “features” are “just another callback/if”. What features are you talking about, why are you assuming how they’re implemented?

I don’t think Visual Studio is representative of most software, nor a reasonable demonstration of your argument above against clean code practices.

The functionality has also changed, so it’s not an example of functionality staying the same while resource usage increases.
