There is an example where highly distributed, event-driven systems are used. Everyday we are using them. It the cars.

In a car there are many distributed ECUs(1) that communicate in an event driven system. It was tried to use cyclic communication. But all those attempts failed in the long run. Because cyclic communication would required that all the independent ECUs are synced to each other, which is a very hard problem. That is the reason why everybody moved away from cyclic communication.

That said to help the development in automotive a middleware have been developed and used to help the development of such event driven systems. You develop your functions and define how the signals are routed between those functions. The someone later/independent decides on how the functions are distributed on the different ECUs depending the available resources. The middleware then takes care of the correct routing of the signals. Everything is event driven.

TVs, I'm crossing my fingers my new Sony (android) delivered soon lets me turn off all the ads. My old Sony (also android) did. You have to turn off notifications for every app. and, given android's tons of little applets it can take a while to turn them all off manually with the remote. Maybe someone who knows android better can tell me some magic shell script that will turn them all off.

I could also replace the home screen/launcher with another. I tried it and got it to work, forgot why I stopped using it though.

As for Adobe, there are plenty of apps that will open adobe formats. Certainly Photoshop and Illustrator. It's possible you'll lose access to some features though. I agree, it feels like extortion.

They used to have to create features I want to entice me to upgrade. I upgraded photoshop about once every 4 years for $200. Now it's $120 a year so more then 4x the cost and I haven't seen a feature I cared about in over a decade at least except (1) updating to new OS versions and (2) HEIC support, which under the old plan I would have happily paid for the upgrade. It's not a tool I use daily though. If it was might feel less bad. My artists friends all seem to be fine with the price tho.
Seems like folks replying and voting may have assumed I was always using recently purchased hardware. That would be an incorrect assumption. Sure, there's auto-sensing in some newer hardware and Windows may support it, but that does not mean crossover cable does not work, too. They both work. Neither is obsolete, but only one works with older hardware.

Wonder why the parent comment I was replying to mentioned crossover cable in particular. If it's obsolete why mention it.
Wireless, satelite, cable in own ducts, fibre through sewer.

There’s multiple ways to deliver ip packets to a property in the country.

A better solution could be to have ducts to run whatever owned by the council and available on a RAND basis - sane way roads are, but it’s not essential for competition.

I agree yet am not really confident in that the police can be de-militarized in a country where every minor criminal has a gun and living is segregated in a way so some neighborhoods actually are much more dangerous than others.

The thing is that variants of the exact same color can make your design look pretty bland sometimes. In this way I can see where microsoft is coming from with their different hues of blue, even though the naming is obviously terrible.
The difference is while what you’ve mentioned is just state propaganda, US killing million people in Iraq alone is an easily verifiable fact.
Even the article fell into this trap. There's a good reason to own at least a B&W printer even if there's a Staples downstairs: your home printing needs will predominantly fall outside the business hours. After all, during business hours you are most likely at work.

The need to print something is usually a result of some chain of actions. You noticed an interesting paper. You have a stack of documents to sign. Your kid just realized, at 22:00 sharp, that they need some printout for school tomorrow. These are things that, for most working adults, tend to happen during evenings and on weekends - because that's the only time they have to deal with personal stuff. Not having a printer available at a moment's notice tends to be a huge blocker.

I think you could also argue that the solution here is not to assign multiple people to one "task", but to write "tasks" that are atomic enough that one person can and should do them, and use some higher-level abstraction for problems that require teamwork.
Very interesting, thanks for the insight.

I'm pretty sure most of the money does not come from listeners, that's a myth they promulgate. The local stations are mostly rinkydink organizations that raise money from listeners (and say "listener support") and funnel it to the national organization to purchase the programming, but the national organization thrives on govt subsidies and keeps the budgets pretty much secret.
In other words, aging society is the problem, and shrinking makes the problem much worse. Fixing the problem in ethical way is difficult.
similar story. good looking + lower costs + seedless = unintentionally optimised towards poor taste :(
"Respect for every evolved religion is granted, but having different people adhering to different religions is not a good way to start thinking about a unity of humanity -- despite the potential of tolerance in various religions."

Respect means, everyone should be able to practice his or her religious beliefs. There is no banning intended. Rather some abstract layer is proposed here, every regular religion could connect to. Having any religious believer plus even atheists in one boat, might be some advantage.
speaking of coming into your house (and completely off topic), TIFU by using a KeyMe kiosk. I needed a copy of a key. I expected it was a mechanical copier which I'd seen before. Instead it's some kind of digital kiosk that scans the key and then, sends the info to their servers and they mail you a key.

In other words, they have a database of people's keys and the address those keys belong too. I feel so stupid. Time to change my locks.

I had no idea what a good mentor was cause the type of people the orgs assign are doing it out of obligation or want an obedient slave and its a crap shoot whether personalities and needs match up.

The mentors who actually ended up taking me under their wing were people who saw something I could do for them. In one case the dude came looking for me cause I was patching some of his old work that no one else wanted to touch in their free time. So he had an incentive to coach me that turned out great cause he loved to teach and I am naturally curious.

In another case I reached out to someone who I had observed getting stuff done through all kinds of shit office politics. We had a reading/study group at work which would meet once a week and I invited him to give the group a talk. That talk got him a whole bunch of connections and he was really gratefully. He was a chain smoker (I dont smoke) but he would pull me out on every smoke break to give me lectures on everything under the sun. I think I learnt more under various trees on the campus than at college.

So its really about doing things for others genuinely, being curious about them and keeping your fingers crossed.
> police was endlessly demonized and underfunded in the past decade.

https://cfo.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/ocfo/publica... suggests that the DC police have had a stable budget since at least 2018.

https://ibo.nyc.ny.us/RevenueSpending/nypd.html suggests that NYPD have had an increasing budget since 1980.

https://www.injusticewatch.org/data/2020/chicago-has-nearly-... suggests that Chicago PD have had an increasing budget since 1964.

Do you have some sources for the "underfunded in the past decade"?

I am a huge huge fan of nested checklists. The interesting thing is that there aren't many apps that fundamentally work with the notion of nested checklists that are collapsible and can be re-arranged in different views.

You're agreeing with the author in a rather disagreeable tone.
... surprisingly, this is not much of an issue. The key property for keeping a rocket engine from melting is not high melting point, but high thermal conductivity. Because of this, all the parts that touch the hot flame are made from a copper alloy, with a melting point not far from that of pure gold.

In the chamber, the hot gases are >3500K, and touching the inner walls with a melting point at ~1400K, yet the walls don't melt, because they are cooled with more power than they are heated.

Exactly this. Also:

>> Every parcel shipping store (UPS, FedEx, etc.) offers printing

> No such thing in Poland and closest equivalent does not offer printing as service (exceptions may apply).

While there are "parcel points" in Poland, I've never seen them advertising a document printing service, and they're also being rapidly displaced by the spread of Paczkomaty - automated self-service parcel collection and sending booths.

> iPlayer

I remember when iPlayer came out: it was _worse_ than what we were already using (Windows Media Center DVR, BitTorrent from UK TV tracker forums) simply due to the content expiration policy… which is downright Orwellian.

I know it’s the fault of overbearing rightsholders, but it was a dark-day overall because a lot of the UK TV tracker sites became a lot less useful because fewer people were seeding and many sites had a strict “No torrents for iPlayer content” rule to avoid being shut-down.

I wish the iPlayer launched with transparent DRM policies that named-and-shamed whichever rightsholder demanded content-expiration - instead of the blanket policy, even when the restrictions are against the wishes of the rightsholder, ugh.
For the amount of downvotes I received, is this the best rebuttal anybody can come up with?
Author here. I’ve been having a frustrating time with the iOS 15 Beta 4 release of Safari lately and would love to get a more technical audience's views on some suggestions of how to improve the Safari UI.

I had a car repossession and foreclosure in 2019, my credit score dropped to Equifax: 521, TransUnion:501 All attempts to get my credit back to a good score didn't yield positive results. Just last month while I was browsing a credit blog, I came across a comment about Jamie a credit specialist hacker and how he helped a certain Neil Garyson fix his credit profile and increased his social security. So i immediately reached out to him and asked if he could help fix my credit score too. He responded positively and I had to subscribe to his services. On checking my credit report after 8days after he had started, my score had skyrocketed to Equifax: 800, TransUnion: 782. I also noticed that the car repossession, foreclosure, hard inquiries, late payments on my credit report has been removed and even my student loans were listed as paid. i am very thankful to him i strongly recommend his service to anyone in need of it. contact; Creditrepairmannetwork@gmail.com

Even for those non-professional uses it's probably better to put the PDF on a flash drive, walk into Staples and print it on their machines. [...] I'm just not convinced that having the ability to print in color at home is worth the huge expense in ink cartridges or in a color laser printer.

Depends on how much you value your time. I would happily pay a bit more if it saves me 100+ trips to a copy shop over the lifetime of a printer.

Besides that, ink tank printers like Epson EcoTank printers are really cheap per print because they do not use cartridges. E.g., an EcoTank all-color refill is 40 Euro and prints up to 4000 black & white and 7500 color pages.

> macOS for the best touchpad, security and speedy open-lid-to-machine-actually-usable time

I can't speak about the touchpad, but Mac OS isn't immune to vulnerabilities and there have been multiple questionable privacy practices. Linux tends to cold boot faster, and can suspend and unsuspend just as quick if not quicker.

> Windows got good desktop performance and nice commercial software library

And Linux has even better desktop performance. Many people would see the open source software benefits of Linux as a pro, not to mention Windows package management still being significantly behind Linux. Many people are also very happy with gaming on Linux.

> For servers, it's pretty much always Linux or possibly some BSD. Minimal, easy to admin, fast, efficient and secure if configured correctly.

The same can be said about desktop too.

Your link is actually a great example of the confusion that has led to harassment and hatred of Capitol Police officers.

The Capitol Police (Controlled by Congress), DC Metro Police (Mayor of DC) and DC Protective Services (Mayor of DC) were the good guys in almost all of this.

The Park Police (subject of your link), Secret Service, Federal Protective Service, US Marshal Service, and DC National Guard were all under the authority of the Executive branch and the ones who forcefully cleared the park and harassed BLM protestors. (ACPD and MPD also assisted Park Police under a mutual aid request)

The Bureau of Prisons was never requested but showed up to the party anyway, likely at the direction of the head of DHS, who was not interviewed for the OIG report.

Good afternoon! Why would you look for something like magento, when you can easily use this platform for e-commerce without any problems if you turn to specialists.

Email absolutely should be a utility and allow you to transfer your email address between providers just like you can your phone number. I understand the technical challenges associated with that due to how DNS and the email protocols work, but I don't particularly care. There should also be a legally required minimal level of customer support for email account issues - if I can't get access to my email for over a week because of an issue on their end or even on mine, there better be a support rep ready to talk to me over the phone and get it sorted.

For all of the things that could ruin me if lost/stolen (government ID, bank accounts, phone number...), I have an automatic last-resort strategy of getting in a car, driving to a place and annoying someone in-person enough to get my problem solved. But email is the only exception.

I've tried looking for providers in my country, but they all went out of business around the time gmail launched. So now my only options are international megacorps with no support for anyone without 100k twitter followers or small companies with offices on the other side of the continent.

You can have stable or even increasing budgets and still be underfunded. Not saying this is necessarily the case here, just that it's definitely possible to pull that off.

Agree with your overall assessment, but the 5 year plans are certainly "flexible" and not all goals are consistently met. Often goals will changes mid-5 year span to accommodate reality. Think about your own personal development plan at work, but not that bad.

I do agree that "power" is the issue here. It doesn't take much for China to look at how Bezos or Elon act and say "yeah, no, we're not going to have corporate leaders challenging the Party publicly".
