The font is indeed very distracting to me. Some fonts (and font features) are really meant for print rather than for screen consumption.

Disabling the font makes it a nicer reading experience.

There is something similarly strange about the writing style of the article. I feel like I'm supposed to sit down, breathe out, make a cup of tea, and delve into this "intriguing, hand-crafted story."

In reality, I'd guess most people will attempt to read this story on their phone while on the toilet.

Love the effort in writing the book though. Not sure why exactly the author focused on months in particular while there are so many things they could have added (such as name of the days, counting systems, and everything else necessary that would make it possible for someone to implement a clock by using full words from that language).
More like, one company created a drag-and-drop editor for their enterprise software, and the customer decided to edit the byte code it output.

It’s a little unfair that people are referring to this as a bad programming language where it’s actually effectively a save-file that has been reverse engineered to edit it beyond its original scope and functionality.

Compiled java bytecode is also not the best programming language, albeit admittedly much better than this!
I went to a top-tier IT engineering school in France.

Despite programming (in GWBasic) since 7 years old, the IT school didn’t transform me into a good developer. In fact most of my colleagues became managers. It’s only 4 years AFTER school that I landed in a famous startup, where I learnt to recompile open-source and use Maven properly and understand the underlying concepts, what to study, what to look into.

And immediately, I created my startup which is now successful.

This whole beginning of career / engineering school has been a terrible waste of youth energy, along with stressing me out because I knew something wasn’t right, and making me intensely depressed. I’m enraged that studying is so hard, and yet, you’re left with absolutely no time to program on your own and discover the scroll of truth.

FWIW I tried to install Valorant in a VM recently (because I'm tired of installing the root-kit anti-cheat on my main PC in order to play it). It simply fails to launch the anti-cheat, and so doesn't launch the game.

>The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) fused all of the 570-kilometer monitored overhead telephone line with measured currents of 1500 to 3400 amperes

>The EMP from the same test caused the destruction of the Karaganda power plant, and shut down 1,000 km (620 mi) of shallow-buried power cables

And that's a 300kt explosion at 290km altitude, above the middle of nowhere in 60's Kazakhstan. Really puts things into perspective. Such a test would be devastating to the modern infrastructure.

Boris Chertok (of Rockets and People fame) also wrote that the radio communication was interrupted by another test in the series (K-5) for about an hour, at the distance of 500km from the test site.

Truth be told, I have similar feelings about ads. Several times, I have benefitted from ads on Facebook and Google, rendering several times their investments.

For example, there was this one time when I had come across an ad on Facebook for a competition that I had found interesting. I applied, got selected, and eventually won a fully sponsored trip to NYC (worth about $4000).

Now, would I want my data to be leaked *outside* FB/Google datacenters out into the public? No. Would I want to be constantly interrupted while I am watching a video? No. But would I want ads that benefit me and help me? Yes, sign me up.

Also, regarding tracking, I believe tracking should be entirely optional (by law). Tracking certainly helps understand user preferences, and I personally always leave them on, because I want to help developers improve my experience. However, I do understand people wanting to turn them off, particularly on suspicious sites.
My windows boot is generally low maintenance, but a Windows update did introduce a stutter in all games once, so had to do a clean install (no restore point). Was annoying to troubleshoot. Windows is a mess. If only anti cheats worked on Linux.

Apple is definitely doing this to make money, and as a fellow shareholder I don't mind (I brought the shares based on their successful transition to ARM, but any growth is nice).

I am not really sure they manipulated me into switching to the iPhone, as much as they produced a product that advertised the things I want, and that I can get nowhere else.
It would probably be shouting something like "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"
To be honest, I am tired of IT managers who have no hands on experience in IT. No mater if this is development or operations.
Thanks for the detailed response.

I personally don't mind the semi-daily tinkering with my config, but if even plugging in a USB might break things then it does sound petty unreliable.

> I can sort of tell you haven't really read up on one of these setups because you seem incredulous that running Windows inside Linux is somehow finicky.

Ouf. You have a great imagination, but I think you'd do better to put it into writing fiction or something like that. I asked you to provide details on your comment, didn't make any statements on whether it is indeed finicky or not, I run many Windows vms on linux but never with VFIO. Your snide remarks reflect nothing more than your lack of self-esteem.
I liked the article idea but I feel like it is two sort of related things in one.

I'd have liked to learn more about why it's only one db. For instance because they're often insanely efficient and one server can handle many queries.

I was also hoping that it'd suggest specific alternatives.
Yes, unfortunately Valorant is one that blocks VM usage... not that it has helped them any.
It'd be worth it just to kill off the conspiracy theory.
What features are you missing? I’ve never paid for cypress purely because it had what I wanted out of the box. Now I’m wondering if I’ve missed something.
> unless Kansas has very lax labor laws

Kansas does have lax labor laws. I went to check and according to https://www.dol.ks.gov/laws-faqs:

"State law says that overtime is due once an employee has worked 46 hours within a week. Federal law says that overtime is due once an employee has worked 40 hours within a week."

So it is substandard, and this:

"Breaks are not required under state or federal law."

React is quite a minimal framework (or not even a framework), actually. It's just that it has a huge following and takes some mind-bending to actually benefit from it.

It's more about the programmers than the underlying technology. But with react (and redux etc) very smart and experienced people have already put some thought into things like maintainability, and your chances of achieving success from the shoulders of these giants are higher than by starting from scratch.

What would be the best solution (Performance wise) if one is only after running Photoshop + Office? Looking for a solution which is easy to install and configure.
Good to know. I’ll strike off USA from my list of developed countries that maintain high-quality maps of their own territory.

Checking a proper topo map on an electronic device is just as good (+/- all the usual batter and water considerations), it’s a world of difference to Google Maps, or even OSM - which is often surprisingly good, but doesn’t hold a candle to a proper topo map, and probably isn’t trying to.
Without context like what this application does or how many lines of code you are talking about, this means exactly nothing...

We won't because freedom of speech is the foundation for a healthy democracy, not the other way round. Socrates was executed at the behest of a tyrannical democracy - the original democracy - for his speech.

> 1.5x rate is costing them

1.5x of what base? Those people aren't working 80h because they like the pay. They need the money. Not necessarily all of it, but are dependent on the job. haven't had a pay raise in 10y.

It would be cheaper to hire more workers, if they could get any to work for the same pay. They likely can't, so it would be more expensive to raise the pay. As it is, in the short term, it could be dangerous to let people have time to think.

But dollars bought on black market were not used for buying staple food or common household items, but generally for buying things (say, from foreigners, or in special Beryoska stores) that were not otherwise available in Soviet Union at all. (Mere possession of foreign currency was a crime, so dollars were not used in normal day-to-day operations). So the black market rate was heavily inflated and is quite misleading too.

Purchase parity calculations for comparable goods available in both US and USSR make much more sense; although not simple, because of very different price structure.

115 roubles would buy 4-5 gallons of vodka, or ~25 pounds of good quality meat. How much this would cost in 2021 US dollars?

If you need to achieve the same functionality and maintainability without React (or some other external library), then by definition you somehow have to reimplement much of it yourself. And no, React isn't all that big in terms of functionality or size.

What are the chances that you are arriving at a solution that is better than React? That other engineers have no trouble understanding and maintaining? You'd have to invent new concepts, or at least call them differently, to not copy React's (or any other framerwork's) concepts or ideas. That would make it harder for other people to understand the code.
I wonder why people are writing shell codes for that?

When I need to inject my code into another process, I write a DLL and only inject LoadLibrary function call. Much more reliable this way: the OS applies relocation table, I have C and C++ runtimes in the injected code, the result is compatible with ASLR, if my DLL has other DLL dependencies the OS will load them first, etc.
And a backup.
And that's on them isn't it? Is learning in how to read a map (Google or otherwise) seriously a too hard of an expectation from a person that goes mountain climbing?

> And it absolutely is widely accepted if you look at democratically produced law across the world.

Widely believed would be a better phrasing, as you may compare anywhere with low to no support for free speech and they will be more oppressive and violent than anywhere in say Europe or North America that has greater support for free speech, the correlation will be huge.

Then you could compare somewhere like the US with somewhere like France or Germany and ask if there is a greater amount of violence in either and see what could be attributed to speech. I doubt you'll be able to produce strong enough evidence for your position to then claim it as widely accepted over widely believed or just advocated for by parties that benefit from less freedom of speech.

Maybe you can, but I'd need to see it first.

I imagine blameless postmortems sometimes happen because people want to avoid blame.
So they argue that all the cool places do "blameless". We should try that too!

And then the organization doesn't understand the actual concept behind the idea (nor did the suggestor want that). Instead the organization learns "we have decided not to blame anyone". And then everyone involved is satisfied.
You should also allow for people who honestly have a different viewpoint than yours, since tolerating and dealing with such people is part of living.

I was comparing hard working Madeira to other places with year long tourism.

There, for some reason, culturally, they decided to work really hard all year.

I was talking to a hard working cab driver and told him about seasonal tourism in Croatia (tourist season lasts about 5 months) and he couldn't believe me that for the rest of the year a bunch of people do not work at all.

I don't think that's really true. React doesn't give you less problems, it just gives you different problems that aren't as immediately visible because you haven't learned to look for them yet. For example, if you're used to thinking that every page of a web app can be tested individually, you won't notice bugs in single-page apps that only happen when using specific links to arrive on pages in a specific order.

Mechanization of agriculture has generally increased yields per unit area. By a lot.

This kind of futurism is solving the problems people thought would be important a few decades back - overpopulation, insufficient food supply, declining energy sources, and nuclear war. Instead, we have population leveling off and declining in many areas, obesity, cheap solar and wind, and no use of nuclear weapons for 75 years. But we have a big problem with climate change, parliamentary democracy keeps deadlocking, and better communications led to each group of nuts finding soulmates and becoming a faction.

> On my Debian system it ships 50+ different binaries split across 8 different packages.

Nobody cares. The number of binaries is irrelevant. What is relevant are stable, documented interfaces between them that someone else could implement if they so choose and remain compatible. And systemd people have repeatedly said they do not intend to maintain stable interfaces between the various components of systemd. As long as that's true, it's completely fair to call systemd a monolith, 50+ binaries or not.

In other words, this is a ‘only Microsoft employees may use the secret 7 on the dice’ situation.
I do the vfio thing as well, do you happen to remember the registry editing you had to do to stop stuttering in games? There's a program that can set and unset all the stuff you need but evidently I deleted it.

This bucket of nails isn't related to a USSR satellite, but was theorised by Arthur C. Clarke.

>2 For the origins of Clarke’s “bucket of nails” argument; Clarke gave the speech “Where is Mankind Headed?” on May 25 1983 for the Reader’s Digest Worldwide Editorial Conference. In the conference’s summary “Memories of Monaco,” Clarke’s speech was described as follows: “After dinner, Arthur Clarke, the noted British science-fiction writer, spoke on ‘The Militarization of Space.’ To put nuclear war into perspective, he quoted a chilling statement from Carl Sagan: ‘A full-scale thermonuclear exchange would be the equivalent of World War II, once a second, for the length of a lazy summer afternoon.’ Clarke went on to
demonstrate that there’s no security in technology, concluding that the only defense is to prevent weapons from being used. Thus, the problem is political, not military. At one point, he described how a sophisticated, multi-billion-dollar laser weapon system could be destroyed by a bucket of nails,” see “Memories of Monaco from Reader’s Digest Worldwide Editorial Conference,” May 21-28, 1983, Folder 4, Box 144, Arthur C.
