Touché, I actually did and even soldered my own at times! I'm tempted to say that's different (tm) though, since you generally had zero expectation that random DB-9/25 cables would be interchangeable.

MS engineers: drawing colored text is SLOW, what do you expect

P.S. And yes, I know, text rendering is a non-trivial problem. But it is a largely solved problem. We have text editors that can render huge files with real-time syntax highlighting, browsers that can quickly layout much more complex text, and, obviously Linux and Mac terminal emulators that somehow have no issue whatsoever rendering large amount of colored text.
Yet there's a fantastic PR and public value. The resolution is also only 1024x1024.
It's really annoying that these clueless questions are reposted around by equally clueless readers.

You don't have the right to a job. You only have the right to work (and it's a human right - it has nothing to do with legal system).

Therefore, working remotely is already a right, but not a privilege.

That being said, no one can be forced to employ you. If you find an employer who offers you one, fine, but you can't tell people who they can and can't employ.

Seriously, what kind of micro-management bullshit is this? Whoever came up with the idea to write such nonsense article? Weird...

Do you disagree that the vast majority of famous fact checkers lean left, are partisan or have slanted coverage?

There's little need for a conspiracy here, just the Red Tribe distrust of institutions making them less likely to support fact checkers. And fact checkers get their money either from donations or from ads/clicks, so the incentive structure will push them left as that's the only way to survive in a competitive environment.

Windows Terminal has none of that. And his refterm already has more features implemented correctly (such as proper handling of Arabic etc.) than Windows Terminal. See feature support: https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm#feature-support

That's cool. Why not battery powered though? That seems like one of the biggest benefits of e-ink and also a wire coming out of your calendar seems like a pretty huge drawback.

Seriously asking - does a fragmented CPU field even matter in today's software ecosystem of high-level languages, frameworks and extensive compiler infrastructures/virtual machines ?

Wouldn't such a divergence merely only increase the demand for compiler-backend/VM engineers making this job segment more attractive ?
Not to mention that the Panama Papers leaker did indeed contact Wikileaks and they've never responded. From the manifesto published afterwards:

> The media has failed. Many news networks are cartoonish parodies of their former selves, individual billionaires appear to have taken up newspaper ownership as a hobby, limiting coverage of serious matters concerning the wealthy, and serious investigative journalists lack funding. The impact is real: in addition to Süddeutsche Zeitung and ICIJ, and despite explicit claims to the contrary, several major media outlets did have editors review documents from the Panama Papers. They chose not to cover them. The sad truth is that among the most prominent and capable media organizations in the world there was not a single one interested in reporting on the story. Even Wikileaks didn’t answer its tip line repeatedly.

Because a rule of thumb is to not focus too much on performance in the beginning of a project.
Better a completed project with some performance issues, than a half product with hyper speed.
The key thing with development is to find somekind of balance within all these attributes (stability, performance, loo, reusability etc)
In case of FS simulator. Not sure what the motives were. Sure that they had some serious time constraints. I think they did an acceptable job there.
I've seen articles about the low-power mode being rolled out to macOS Monterey, even for intel Macs. Hopefully that can reduce power consumption. I've also decided to do a thermal pad mod for the VRMs+inductors to reduce throttling, avoid higher top-side temperatures & lower fan noise.

Good. The more full-features and the less underfeatured USB cables are bought and found around - the better for everyone. I don't buy/grab a USB cable "for the drive" I expect it to do the job every time I happen to need a USB cable.

In fact I'd like a single ultimate USB-n-All logo to exist which would mean the cable is fully and reliably capable of all (including extensions like Thunderbolt) the possible USB cable usages which existed at the moment the specific generation of USB was released or became relevant.

Having the same connector for everything is not a value worth the hassle. Having the same cable for everything is.
A single number representative of "total harm to human health" needs to be developed to evaluate things like this. Then we could say "people in Chicago have X harm from cars, X harm from planes, and X harm from leaf blowers".

The harm number could be based on estimates from experts on the life-years lost by inhaling each chemical in the exhaust and the quantities of each chemical emitted and breathed in.

It would then be up to policymakers to either tax or ban things causing lots of harm.

Without boiling it down to a single number, claims like "more ozone comes from a leafblower than a car" are really hard to know the impact of.
I have basically zero worries of all my criticisms of all my rantings against the bloated and corrupt American government getting me sent to prison for life and potentially having my organs harvested for a party elite. So I think that's one reason it's a tad bit different.
There’s a bit of incentive misalignment when commercial software performance is concerned. If we presume customers with tighter budgets tend to be more vocal and require more support, and customers on slower machines are often customers on tighter budgets, the business as a whole might actually not mind those customers leaving as it’d require less support resources spent on customers who are more difficult to upsell to.

Meanwhile, the majority of customers with faster machines are not sensitive enough to feel or bother about the avoidable lag.
No offence taken - would you mind sharing some details of the fallout you mention?
For me, it’s usually thinking about how my favorite RPG characters would deal with something that I saw or experienced that day.

Since one of them is a large tiger-size cat that is also a dimension-hopping traveler and one of the most powerful psionics that their planet has ever produced, those kinds of thought experiments usually end up relating to recent super-powered movies I might have seen recently, or other super powered situations.

For example, how to most easily kill Thanos without causing significant harm to anyone else. So, dumping a planetary core quantity of super compressed antimatter into the core of the planet, well that wouldn’t really be a useful way to solve the problem. And destroying the entire galaxy likewise would not be useful. And using a dimensional portal to drain a lake of liquid oxygen onto the field in front of Minas Tirith would have completely changed the nature of that battle.

I usually have to add on the restriction that minimal force must be used when intervening in events, because the more force that is used, the more likely you are to attract unwanted attention from higher level immortal super beings that are also multi-dimensional travelers, and that’s something you don’t want to experience. Especially when you’re not immortal.

And yes, I also have sleep apnea. Getting to sleep for me is … an involved process.

Something tells me that the half-a-dozen to a dozen of Microsoft developers working on Windows terminal:

- could go ahead an do the same "doctoral research" that Casey Muratori did and retrace his steps

- could pool together their not insignificant salaries and hire Casey as a consultant

- ask their managers and let Microsoft spend some of those 15.5 billion dollars of net income on hiring someone like Casey who knows what they are doing

Universal Nil: no. we need less nil not more. Nil-safe types would be a better answer.

Error-checking: If you're not going to do anything with the error, then have an editor snippet for the ? boilerplate. Better still, start handling the error. The boilerplate is a Go anti-pattern.

I think we do need more clarity about the relationship between slices and arrays: it's not clear at the moment when two slices share a backing array or not, and therefore whether changes to one slice will change the other.

I'm kinda looking forward to generics, but also dreading it. Most newbie gophers don't understand how powerful duck-typed interfaces are and what they can do with them, and I have a feeling generics will be used for all sorts of situations that could be better handled with interfaces.
Most of the profit is based on information asymmetry or on being a monopoly (high barrier to entry).
Very small point about this story, regarding the true|false|mixture|satire options, specifically the satire option - good satire can almost be indistinguishable from proposed fact.

In other words, I daresay that people of less education and less experience reading (or where the article is written in a language which is not the reader's first language) would not realize it is satire.

This has happened many times where certain political groups have promoted Onion stories that appear to favor their policies - but which are clearly satire to some of us.

So even if the fact checkers could stay on top of the flood of misinformation, I expect there could be a minimal formula for getting content marked as Satire while still delivering false information to gullible/ignorant readers.

A problem too great (or late) to solve is the relative ignorance of many of the readers. These are also the people who vote in politicians who work directly against their needs. When a person can stand in a burning building and say, "We're sure glad we got our guy leading the government, because those other guys would have ruined everything we care about." No amount of fact checking can solve this mental problem.
Defendant attempts citizen's arrest on judge during assault trial
I think that piece of paper spreading FUD is a simple attempt by the IT department to minimize the number of people trying to charge their laptop off of an 10-18w cell phone charger and generating charging failure tickets in the system

Dell famously won't charge off anything less than 65w USB-C PD when turned on, and I think 30w when turned off. Apple will trickle charge when off, on 15w (standard phone charger) if the charger truly is USB-C PD compliant (about 50% of the time these days)

Given that most people don't own a 65W USB-C PD charger (yet) I can see the IT department adding warnings in an attempt to avoid confusion and reduce the amount of extra work.

That said, I've been using USB-C 65W chargers since the original Pixelbook came out + Nexus 5, and later Anker branded 65W chargers and I've never had any problems. I generally don't use off brand stuff though.

A bit how shader units are implemented right
> That’s a very specific use case you have there though

Upload two large files to two different machines in parallel, starting at roughly the same time to compare the throughput. Or "run in parallel and measure the difference" scenario. Or parallelizing any, esp. network/distributed, work a-la make/xargs. Heck, init used to do exactly this: run a getty for each tty in parallel, indefinitely restarting them.

Sure, you can do that from two/three/four/... different xterms, as well as stopping them manually and that's what I usually do but... that's tedious and trivial stuff, perfect for automating if you can automate it, that is.

As for services/demons I agree completely; in fact my other gripe about the UNIX process management is how easy it is to break out of a process group. Thankfully, docker gives you confidence that when you stop your service, no runaway (great-great-...-grand-)child process will survive. In olden days, however, lots of things insisted on daemonizing themselves and fighting against any ways to control or even observe them: breaking from the process groups, de-attaching from the terminal sessions, double- and triple-forking, closing all file descriptors to defeat the self-pipe trick, etc. Ugh. If you really need some child process to outlive you (do you really? please consider again), then the only way to do that ought to be "service start" or "at now" or some other kind of "ask someone above you in the process hierarchy to launch that process".
I'm glad there's more research on this, but that doesn't help those of us who have struggled (sometimes for decades) with this, and who, despite visits to many doctors, have never been able to find a solution except symptom management with drugs that seem incredibly harmful if used long-term.

Could this be psychosomatic? Has anyone here found that therapy ended up resolving this issue? That's about the only hope I have left for resolving this.
However, there are probably infinite organization structures describing a complex system and there isn't any ontological reality to Occam's razor. Programming is really much about deciding where and at what level to allocate partial structure, which again informs the broader picture of the core organization – and some of this may be even intuitive.
It's a navigation camera, not output from any main instrument so it doesn't come with a filter wheel. The importance factor is having very good linear response to incoming light, not making good phone backgrounds.
> Backups are also very expensive, whereas zero trust is cheap.

Could you elaborate on this? I would have thought that they are at least in the same ball-park. I work at a large software company and we have a lot of internal systems one has access to. You have to harden your AD, you have to be very careful with single-sign on, etc. I'd bet, if I could compromise the machine of one of our employees I could do a lot of lateral movement. You must not only harden the production machine, you need to harden everything in the supply chain for those machines.

When you consider fakes just as the symptom of cognitive deficiencies and all you do is label these stories as why and where they are wrong, your impression of a doomed attempt seems quite understandable to me.

It would be much more helpful to explain and teach by example the underlying cognitive mechanism that tricked you in the first place.

An example. Alot of climate change "sceptics" repeat over and over again, that CO2 is just ~2% of earth atmosphere (doesn't matter if the number is correct or not) and they conclude that therefore CO2's effect on the climate is neglectable. This is wrong reasoning, you got tricked by a small number, but it appears right for a superficial look. (Following this logic, cyanide would be harmless too.)

The over and over (and over and over and over) repetition of that aspect is like a chain reaction you can only effectively stop by halting the underlying process. Otherwise some else fake news get spread next iteration.

yes, but trying to generate a nice rendered image on a stand-alone uProcessor is pretty hard.

I don't like that it takes headless chrome to render, but it _works_ and fills a need for the maker.

I'm pretty sure they looked at the stuff they'd need to write (A layout engine, a anti aliasing library, a calendar parsing library, an image handling library) and thought "fuck that, lets use a pi".

It terms of time thats weeks full time, and even then might not be possible to fit on the uCPU of choice.

You can charge a laptop with a mobile phone charger. It just charges really really slowly (or probably not at all if you're actually using it).
It's hard or maybe impossible to do a perfect job here, but it often seems like the vast majority don't even try! A huge proportion of news stories are horribly and deliberately misleading on everything from the local to national level and on every topic from science to celebrities.

I'd like to be more specific than "a huge proportion" but it's hard because I've mostly read the more widely shared and thus sensationalist stories, which will have much bigger distortions on average.
I'd tell myself the exact opposite. Big companies are slow, it took around 2-5x longer to do something in a big company as opposed to a startup. Startups paid terribly but they really taught me to build stuff efficiently. Most of them die inevitably, so I feel no guilt for the experimental code moved into production.

I would guess null is the default because many of us start out with languages like C or Java. I've seen some interns have FP experience with Haskell, but it tends to be a single module and they often don't appreciate the nuance and FP is still not particularly mainstream in industry.

More generally, I don't think many programmers get to see the better way because they're not exposed to it. I can rhapsodise about Rust, but I doubt my company is going to buy into it because they already picked Go.

If I make it battery powered it needs to run on a charge for a few months, otherwise it becomes a hassle. And then, it must be possible to charge it easily.

There are a lot of edge cases to consider. It’s definitely on my wish list but I cut it out for simplicity, for now.

Yes - this is the reason I've switched to Go for writing command-line apps. I don't like Go as much as Python (Go is simpler, but not as easy), but being able to compile a self-contained executable is huge. It's also great to have access to GIL-free parallelism.

I don't expect Python to support either of those things any time soon.

It was far easier for me to grok monads in Haskell (and it took less time), than to learn how to properly deploy a Python application. Given that monads are often a complaint and testament to the "complexity" of Haskell, I think it's unfair to make the claim that Python is uncomplicated. If you use a language for some period of time, it is very likely that you will have to deal with the tooling at some point.
