It's not just a USB driver though. You've got to support PCI (or something) to find the USB controller, then you've got to fiddle with that, then you have to discover the devices, then you have to interface with them.

Reading from a keyboard is much simpler. Probably makes more sense to run the computer headless with a serial terminal and make the students poke at a UART. PC standard UARTs are pretty easy, and I think it's easier to find a motherboard with a COM1 header than a PS/2 port (at least my latest hardware matches that description).
That's a bit like asking healthy people. You'll get answers ranging from things like exercise to homeopathy.

Answers from people can be used to suggest avenues for investigation, but shouldn't make you fund expensive stuff outright. (Assuming here that homeopathy is obvious nonsense, that people still swear by.)

And, of course, public libraries and documentaries don't have to just produce good effects. In order to justify public funding, you'd need to do a whole cost-benefit analysis and look at opportunity costs.

So look at what you get from public libraries vs libraries financed from private charity _plus_ whatever other good things the public money saved could do (including just outright giving it to poor people).

I deliberately picked public libraries here as a provocative examples. I suspect they might actually pass the cost-benefit test without too much contortion of metrics and data.

I am much less sanguine about the bang-for-buck of publicly financed opera houses, theatres and symphony orchestras, which Germany is quite fond of. And of course, publicly financed radio and TV broadcasters.
> If it makes you feel any better it cost $100 in 2021 dollars new ($50 in 1990)...

That does actually make me feel better knowing that DW4 would cost $100 if it were "new" now.

These days a sealed copy of DW4 graded at 7.0 will run you $1549. I'd be nervous paying anything less than $170 for a working cartridge alone right now.

As a consumer of these things, I've thought many times how easy it would be for someone to just print off "original boxes and content" for these old games, and sell them as if they were mint. As someone who wants this kind of thing... please don't be afraid to charge premium prices for replicas! As long as you tell us it's a replica, and it's high quality - everyone wins. Once enough time passes, replicas and forgeries all just become history.

My anecdatum:

I worked from home as a freelance Japanese-to-English translator from 1986 to 2005. I lived all that time in or near Tokyo, Japan's business and government center where the majority of translation clients were located.

From 1986 to the mid-1990s, being physically located in Tokyo was a definite competitive advantage for me. While I knew some translators who worked remotely even then, having to send and receive manuscripts by fax or mail limited the types of work they could accept. For more complex jobs that required meetings, or for jobs that had reference materials that could not be sent by fax, being able to go to clients' offices allowed me to get enough higher-paying, often time-sensitive work to compensate for the higher costs of living in Tokyo.

Over the course of the 1990s, clients gradually went online and it became possible to receive and deliver more jobs in digital form. Around the year 2000, online translation companies started offering services from India and other low-wage countries, charging a tenth or less compared to what translators located in Japan were charging. The quality wasn't very good at first, but the price difference started to hurt the bottom lines of translators in Japan who did the most generic, commodified work.

By that point, I had a stable set of clients who relied on my experience and my knowledge about their businesses. They couldn't easily send the work to others, and I didn't feel any effect from remote competitors. The rise of remote competition was also not a factor in my decision to quit translation and take a university job in 2005. However, I know that if I try to return to freelance translation after I retire from the university in 2023, I will face a much more competitive environment than I did thirty years ago, living near Tokyo will no longer be an advantage, and it will probably be impossible for me to return to the same income level I used to have.

I agree. And economically, if you want less of a good to be consumed, ceasing to subsidize its production with tax payer money is a good first step. If you want to go further, perhaps even tax its production.

> Private broadcasters do not pick material based on public interest or even their judgment of what is good. It is far more mechanical and influenced entirely by market forces.

How do market forces differ from public interest?

Or rather, what do you mean by 'public interest'? It's what the general public is interested in?

Market forces come from people.

>adversarial relationship in terms of price, features / upsells, etc.

I get what you mean now. As someone who "does sales" a fair amount in my work (owner of a second-hand video games business) the adversarial stuff is actually really frustrating.

I always try to give the customers the same advice I'd give a friend or family, even "downselling" them from a $100 purchase to a $25 repair if that would be more suitable, yet still so many people are adversarial and distrustful.

From my experience, this distrust hurts (non-expert) consumers even more than it hurts the businesses. Ideally, you'd have an honest salesman pointing out the pros and cons of all the different products so that the consumer can make an informed choice. Maybe that product that costs $50 will last for 20 years of continuous use, whereas the $30 version will break after 18 months.

Instead, because salesmen can't be trusted, they rely on their own instincts and buy products whose prices are completely uncorrelated with quality.

The burden of proof is on you.
It’s cold hard economic issues that held back nuclear power rather than any environmental concerns. The US is actually close to the ideal nuclear mix from a cost basis.

At best operating at full capacity with moderate subsides it’s roughly competitive with coal operating 24/7, but the grid has wildly fluctuating demand and nuclear’s price per kWh is roughly 3x as expensive at 30% power output as at 100%.

France was able to export a lot of nuclear power while importing significant electricity to meet demand and they still had capacity factors fall below 70%.

The most surprising issue with nuclear is actually fuel costs. Yes, it’s cheap to mine and enrichment isn’t that expensive, but refueling ends up being quite expensive in part because it’s slow. 3+ weeks of downtime every 1.5-2 years is effectively a 1.5+% fuel cost even if everything else was free. Dropping that to 1 week on it’s own wouldn’t really change the economics much but there are many such issues.
Point of fact: On the Media is NOT NPR:

BROOKE GLADSTONE: On the Media is produced by WNYC and distributed by NPR - what that means is that WNYC owns and produces the show. It licenses it to NPR, which distributes it to the public radio stations, collects fees from those stations, takes a cut and then gives the rest back to WNYC, to pay to produce the show.

She is allowed to list the property for sale though. But in any case, I would probably go to the media first too. But also list the property for sale. Not my problem which part of the story they go with. At least I could point to why I sold the properties, to any other sentimental stakeholders.

This isn’t wrong at all, but…

1. A lot of it is heavily dependent on implementation details. (Yeah we have to care about XID, but we shouldn’t have to care about it exponentially for nested scope workloads once that scope exits.)

2. Actual nested transactions could help alleviate that without too much burden on the MVCC implementation. (This would provide a mechanism for isolating and cleaning up scoped XIDs.)

You interact with a computer only through the screen, speakers, microphone, and keyboard.

So of course, the advertisement for every laptop emphasises internal component metrics that don't actually matter that much. "Now with X8-7820Z SUPER!" or whatever.

Instead they have terrible screens, tinny speakers, noisy microphones, and non-customisable keyboard layouts. The latter of which are always cramped, and I mean always, even on 17" laptops.

Do you have any idea how cheap it would be for these manufacturers to allow you to choose your keyboard layout? It's a removable tray already! They can be swapped out in seconds! There are multiple keyboard layouts available from the parts manufacturers!

Social class is correlated with income, but it's not the same.

Similarly, entertainment preferences are correlated with social class (and with income), but again, they are not perfect predictors of each other.

So a few anecdata wouldn't undermine anything here. Though in fact, your example actually strengthens the argument I am making: you are the kind of person that prefers watching documentaries over other drivel, and you are the kind of person who managed to get themselves out of poverty. That's likely because you have the preferences, habits and skills of someone who is at least middle class in a social sense, even if your income took a while to catch up.

(Keep in mind that we are talking about social class in a rather abstract fashion here. German middle class mores are different from American middle class mores.)

Revenue that exceeds the GDP of nations.

Berkshire Hathaway = $365 billion. Equal to #40 among nations. Comparable to Singapore or Vietnam, just below Denmark.

Apple = $347 billion. Equal to #41 among nations. Larger than Pakistan, Finland, Chile and just below Bangladesh.

CVS = $278 billion. Equal to #48 among nations. Comparable to Czechia and larger than Portugal, New Zealand.

UnitedHeath = $270 billion. Equal to #49 among nations. Just below Romania or Colombia.

Google = $220 billion. Equal to #52 among nations. Comparable to Greece or Peru.

Microsoft = $168 billion. Equal to #56 among nations. Just below Hungary or Kazakhstan, ahead of Ukraine or Algeria.

I can see Microsoft or Amazon stepping into this space. If GitHub desktop is anything to go by, getting [MS][AWS]Container Desktop as a replacement for Docker desktop would be a no brainer. 90% of what Docker Desktop does is already available in VSCode in some form, just the janky GUI is missing.

Somebody else already did the hard work to get it going with WSL2, why not just cut out the 3rd party you don't need and put it together so the command lines were compatible and your existing tooling works. AWS and Microsoft both have skin in this game and Docker Desktop would be right in their sights.

On something like Debian, you don't even get a desktop gui and you don't miss it either. No reason why WSL2 or a mac shouldn't be exactly the same.
There is no "semantic aspect" of the web.

The semantic web is dead since invention.

It makes no difference that you now call some boxes with some new names as those boxes get custom styling and behavior anyway. There is no semantics (no meaning) behind the names.

Even there are proposals how to use elements "semantically correct" nothing enforces it. So it's useless in the big picture. You can't rely on any semantic meaning. As a trivial example, everybody is free to put a h1 below a h6. It will "work"… Because there is just no semantic meaning to those names!

Things like Gemini are interesting as they show a route to tech that separates again documents and applications working with documents. Gemini tries to get the document part right I think.

Only in a model where you don't strive for pixel perfection and customizable behaviors for every piece of rendered content something like semantic meaning of those peaces could arise: There would need to be some agreed meaning because the client would be in charge of rendering and bringing everything to live. But this model is not the web. Not any more…
What about by volume? Also, stronger meaning what? There's a combination of factors here: not just whether it breaks, but also how (dent vs crack..). Also, how well it ages. Also, how much flex does it have and how does that affect the lifespan of the internal components?

I don't know those answers; perhaps carbon plastic wins on all metrics. It would be interesting to learn.

Using subtransactions appropriately is unlikely to trigger any noticeable performance differences, any more than 'having less transactions' overall will.

When doing multiple steps that need to track external state, subtransactions can greatly simplify the schema you need as well as make the database interactions more efficient. You need to safely record progress at each step, and you can't afford to lose previous steps because a transaction gets rolled back unexpectedly. You could start a transaction and commit between each step, but this gets pretty annoying if you need to SELECT FOR UPDATE or otherwise make sure what you are doing is concurrency safe, since this would require you to track all the resources you need as you go, which would greatly complicate the design of your non-sql code. Not to mention the added failure modes of not being able to reacquire those resources after step N for whatever reason.

Where things get stupid is ORMs and frameworks that start sub transactions all over the place when you don't need them and aren't even trying to use them. I'm looking at you, Django transaction.atomic(), you absolute idiot.
