Okay poor wording on my side. Obviously there are talented and great engineers working at BO, after all they successfully launched humans into space. However, the overall vision is lacking and this is Bezos' fault. He behaves like a child. This NASA contract thing right here is an example of that. It's just unprofessional.
Impersonating the brave.com website to deliver malware
Why do people waste time on any "bonus software" they found in the box with their printer?

This is why I love Brother printers: I've never had to touch their software. Ever. Been buying their printers for over a decade. You pipe postscript to them on port 9100, they print it. Done. Their software could be 100% refined APT-malware, and I'm totally okay with that.
That's surprising to me, perhaps because "th" appears in inflected words such as "ovathan", dialectal words such as "vasthaan", compound words such as "oluthana" and names such as "Elisabeth" or "Porthania".

Also, I wonder what's the share of the pronounciations "t", "th" and "θ" in the word "theremin".

I'm sorry, did you just unironically call a Murdoch media company "neutral" in opinion? The rest of your comment I don't disagree with.
Same here. Who convicted them to all start doing it? Why do they put up with this and screw with their customers?
> it's impossible to buy yogurt not in one-time plastic package and we didn't find a "mass market" solution to that problem.

In Nordics most yoghurt is sold in one-liter Tetra Pak style cartons, similar to milk. I've noticed it's next to impossible to find these in Central Europe though, for whatever reason.
>Without Bezos, none of Blue Origin would have happened.

Anyone with the means could have founded Blue Origin, hired the same people, and gotten the same result. Jeff Bezos' money was necessary to the company's success, he was not.

>Olympic athletes rely on uncredited trainers and usually a dedicated family to financially support them.

Olympic athletes credit their trainers and family all the time. And, again, they do the actual work.
Some of the roses that we culture currently were born in ancient times. They are basically immortal as long as we keep appreciating them.

The Rosa mundi, Rosa Gallica versicolor for example is a mutation that sprouted from a seed before 1581 where Holland was a part of Spain and before Britons started to colonize America. Is a creature relatively easy to find in the specialized market still.

Welwitschia mirabilis is a prehistoric unicorn that somehow managed to survive until today. There is not anything like that thing in the entire planet.
Strange. I see things like

• quality original skits & memes

• craftsmen making shorts about things such as the assembly process for a certain furniture

• doctors showing day-in-the-life videos as well as quick health advisories and PSAs

• remixes of existing music and indie artists promoting new music

• experts in niche fields, ranging from logistics, to theoretical physics, to law, to carpentry make quick, shallow-level explanatory videos of things that interest them

• everyday Joes essentially vlogging about interesting things that may be unique to them (like a medial condition, situation, or something else)

• … and yes, dancing teenagers.
Of course NSW has lockdowns. Sydney in particular - which is where most of the cases are - has been in increasingly strict lockdown since June, and I think they've spent more time under lockdown than not since the start of the pandemic at this point. The lockdowns just haven't worked there.
Old news, the JPL did this in the 90s with a Lisp REPL on the spacecraft[1] while under way. And I bet that wasn’t even the first time anyone did that.

>Steve Jobs said it best. He talks about innovation at Pepsi being a new bottle. That's what Activision Blizzard is. They have a "monopoly" with their key franchises, most notably CoD and WoW. They just release a new "bottle" every 1-2 years.

Isn't this also kind of what Apple has become in the post-Steve Jobs era?
Yes. I forgot to explain.

I learned to read in one month like any other Finnish child ever. But it took a month longer to understand what I was reading. Like my small brain was using all its capacity in pronunciation and I forgot what I just said.

English is like Chinese, you have to learn all pictorials and their meanings. Learning the pronunciation is different process. That is why English takes years and years to learn.
What do you even do with the OrangePC? I guess all of this is quite obsolete, but to run old windows on it?
It’s not really common sense. That’s pretty domain specific knowledge.

I had no idea my printer used any ink at all during startup.
I’m not sure I really understand what “solution architects” do, or what value they bring.

In my experience, they take a half-baked set of requirements and make a bunch of complex looking charts and diagrams that purport to explain how software that fulfils the requirements might be built. But most of the time, the “solution” is impossible due to various constraints they have glossed over, and doesn’t actually meet the requirements once you start to question what the user really wants.

It seems to me the kind of role that fits in with waterfall-style planning, at odds with agile, yagni, building just enough and constantly iterating based on feedback from real users.
"Would like to have"
Big corportations seem to be retarded in this area for sure. What seems to be working is skipping almost all meetings at the early stage about it – just go straight to PoC and start discussions from there. Also be careful what you wish for - because if it goes ahead – it may become business critical quickly, which means doubling team few times, onboarding systems/teams while providing near zero error rate/downtime etc.
My grandfather, born in the back hills of West Virginia, was forced to leave school when he was around 6 years old to chop lumber so his family had enough to survive. After he left WV, he worked a press at a forge and was a landscaper at night an on the weekends. He never has learned how to read, and sadly he is in the early stages of dementia so I think that ship has sailed. But... he was always a whiz with finances.

He was the kind of guy that can take a dollar on Monday and give you back $100 on Friday. He owns, I believe at this point, 8 properties including his own home.

I always regret not staying back home for a bit to try and help him, but I think by the time I would have been in a place to do it he would have told me he had just accepted the fact he would never learn to read. I can't imagine going through life like he did, how much I would hav missed.

But it also was always an inspiration to me. Every time I would feel my motivation for something academic or professional start to wane, I remind myself that this man who gave me and my siblings anything to help us succeed didn't get to do 90% of the things I take for granted.

It's really sad to see some folks on this thread call this man an idiot. From first hand experience, that's not necessarily the case and often people like him become far more clever than I'll ever be as a means of survival.
Nothing inspires confidence like having your son-in-law in charge of crucial military R&D.
I dream of having the confidence of a white man for only one day. Like, I’ve been writing code for twenty years, and I feel like an imposter still. I can’t even fucking imagine being able to wake up in the morning, living a lie like this, fucking up kids educations because your too much of a pathetic child to admit your own failings?! I find this article to be pretty disgusting to be honest.
If you are capable to hold the overview for an organisation, and know the best interest of the organisation, you can become and IT Architect, if you can also communicate your ideas.

Ofcourse this can come with great difficulty, and implementation of (some) of the ideas you might never see happening.

I agree that upper management plays a crucial role, they have to be rightly informed, especialy if they hold the wrong intuitions.

I also hold the believe that this is the case in smaller organisations and/or IT trajects, where there is no dedicated architect, or team of architects.

Architecture is about envisioning the future and shaping how it looks and works, ofcourse you should take the role, if this is what you want.

No idea why anyone would downvote this comment. Thanks!
Is there a tool that automatically generate minified code like this but with ascii art? Or do these code snippets are done by hands?
Well, on first glance the CC0 sounds good to me:

"CC0 helps solve this problem by giving creators a way to waive all their copyright and related rights in their works to the fullest extent allowed by law"

But the common criticism of CC0 is:

"No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document."

Which sounds very contradictory to me. I am not "waiving all my copyright and related rights to my works to the fullest extent allowed by law" if I would reserve my right to patent it. I mean, in the EU where I reside software patents are not possible in theory anyway, but I would be allowed to file a patent in the US with the CC0.
Totally believable.

I'm as sceptical of the "architect" positions and the value they deliver, not to mention the job satisfaction they offer (or lack thereof), as the next person, but this is not a very good article: vague generalities, no examples, a poorly expressed and hazy argument to the extent that it's somewhat unclear what point the author is trying to make. Sorry, but no: this is not advancing the conversation. If anything it's illustrative of the kind of hand-wavy nonsense-talk that architects are often reviled for.
Yet when you look at the size of the audience, and the ease of spreading misinfo, nothing is more mainstream than social media.
Many thanks for writing this detailed article and for the work you are doing on diamond and Braid.

I recently discarded a serious chunk of time and effort using Logux.io to move to YJS and so far it has been a very good move. This for major evolution of a Knowledge Base/Notes app I'm developing, Clibu Notes.

I was very pleased to read your very positive comments on YJS. Kevin Jahns continues to do great work with YJS.

Great to see this work from a follow Australian.

Horrible news!
There's nothing wrong with questioning narratives and this is what Sky News is doing. They questioned the effectiveness of lockdowns and why wouldn't they? Sydney and other parts of NSW have been in lockdown since 23/06 and the case numbers have been either steady or increasing. Today over 230 cases.. A few days ago it was around 170. Isn't it reasonable then to question the lockdown?

Well Youtube says no. Google says no. And apparently many here are ok with an unelected private entity dictating what information they can access and how. And frankly, even if they were elected I wouldn't want them to have such control.

Essentially, an American private company led by un-elected individuals are controlling what Australian individuals can see and hear.
> Is this sarcasm?

It's not. How HTML is rendered was literally not defined between browsers until mid-00s. Hence the difference in the boxing model, for example.

Bt yes, besides HTML there are hundreds of other specs, and those may or may not be implemented across browsers.

> The underspecified natural language specs lead to subtly different behaviors in different browsers.

You keep saying this, and I don't think you even understand what you're saying.

> Full specs of a complex systems are very complex.

Yes, they are. What you keep proposing though, is to reverse engineer behaviour from millions of lines of code. I'm still waiting for an answer to my question about datalistoptions test.

> John von Neumann wrote an essay on the topic titled The computer and the brain

I have to be honest, I would take any such comparison from the 1950's with a huge pinch of salt. I think perceptions about how "dumb" an individual neuron is as a processing unit have shifted quite a bit since then.

> Also, I don’t think that comparing the training of a neural network to the brain is fair from an energy usage point of view - compare the usage of the final NN with it.

I'm not considering this in terms of the training efficiency, I'm looking at it in terms of the ratio between operational utility and energy used. There's no trained ANN with anything remotely close to the overall utility of the human brain at any scale, let alone one that weighs 3lbs, fits into a human skull and runs on 20 Watts of power.
I wonder if multi-threaded JS will ever be a thing, despite the event-loop nature of the language
Lmao. You really think race had nothing to do with their story? You are naive, dear child.
With five variations of ten sentences ("We now have", "Now we have", "Right now we have", etc., you can probably come up with this many in under five minutes), one combination randomly assigned to a user accessing the document, you get 5^10=9.8M variations. That should narrow it down.

Not that I necessarily think doing this is a good thing, for the record.
TikToks can be up to 3 minutes long and can be multipart. There’s tons of things that you can learn in 3 minutes or less: stuff about plants, music, mechanics, History, fashion, animals, lifestyle… And TikTok has a community vibe, some songs transcend the niches, that’s why everyone has heard the Wellerman song for instance.

Note that TikTok’s success is a response to The artificially 10-15 minutes long videos on YouTube. Strip the ads, the sponsorships and the algorithms which requires 10 minutes and you have TikTok.
My experience mirrors yours almost exactly.

Quitting Blizzard meant giving up my primary source of entertainment at the time, and having a lot less contact with some dear friends since then. It wasn't easy, but the right choice for me was clear: I am unwilling to support a company that silences/punishes people for promoting human rights. I won't even touch their free-to-play games any more, since that helps populate their servers.

I'm not sure what my point is here. Maybe just to acknowledge that it's somehow comforting to know I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing.

Concorde is fine. The LK heuristic was published in 1973. After that, until the mid 90s, no one could outperform the original published results with the same heuristic.

I haven't seen any reliable data yet on what portion of the plastic waste that ends up in the water originates in NA/Europe and what portion comes from the population of Asia and Africa themselves.

But given that several billion people live there and one-time plastic use is really widespread (just travel there and see), plus the waste management systems are subpar, I would be very surprised if local waste wasn't a majority of those 86 per cent. Have you been to places like the Philippines? Everything comes wrapped in plastic and waste plastic is not really managed at all.

Ooh, thank you for a fascinating reference about Stopify. I'll be reading the paper [1] it's based on with great interest.

Heh, thanks but it's not really about how much you can type. It's about how clearly and concisely you can say it I think... and I can definitely improve that.

Actually the above was mostly voice typing that I then punctuated and corrected...so, anyway I noticed you switched to sentence case for this comment but you're normally in lower case, no need to be so formal :)

I checked out your work on the web and you have a bunch of different personalities across your sites from a design / approach / content / voice point of view. Really diverse!

I'm gonna be here forever, and on this project too, also the copyright is with my corporation, so you're only wasting your own time if you care about that or waiting for that... what I meant was--and I know I spent a lot of words and I guess I didn't make it clear--I hope people can use it right now without having to pay. But honestly I think the easiest way to do that is just for them to write it themselves, or just rip me off in secret, haha, they can "try" I'm sure.

Seriously, tho I really would like to think I can just open it up to the community to use in a full free and open-source way, and gather a bunch of contributions and so on, without worrying I'm compromising the business side of it. Like I said above, the licenses are basically individually negotiated...because I'm an amateur I suppose...so for managed where I run it for them in the cloud it ranges from ~ 1500 to over 10K a month with my main cost being bandwidth. And on the hosted side, from ~3K a month to yearly licenses above 100K. The self-hosted ones are mostly perpetual for the version, re-upped to the latest version on the next payment, with maintenance and support contracts either included (existing for as long as license fees are paid) or separate. One of the most challenging things is contract negotiation. I discovered startups with VCs can be extremely frightened of IP clauses where they don't own everything absolutely ostensibly because their legal advisors see it as a risk to future raises.

I'm sort of glad I'm bootstrapped and don't have to worry about VC!

IMO this comment takes a very cynical and US centric view of things.

I've found this story was well written and pretty inspiring. Just because people are privileged doesn't mean they don't struggle or that their struggles can't teach us things.

Architects are supposed to sit higher, seeing both more systems (where developers focus on theirs) and seeing further in time (where developers are focused on their next release or two). I see the job of an architect to work on how things work together and make sure nobody "paints themselves into a corner".

How well that works in practice is another matter of course. Architects have longer reach than developers, both in space and time, so the have larger blast radius. One bad architect can screw vastly more things than a bad developer.
