Until we can safely support native mobile code, and let the hardware and OS keep it from going rogue, we're on the losing end of the war against general purpose computing.
I generally line up with this. Syntactic confusion is a huge barrier to "thinking" in a new computing language, now add to it by having to "think in new concepts" which lies in the semantics.

Its a kind of combinatorial explosion of meaning and power of ideas.

The expressive qualities of lambda notations can die in the inherent confusion "am I parsing this sentence-in-lambda left-to-right or right-to-left" -And I really do mean parse, the internal brain-model of "reading the words and symbols" informs how people construct a mental model of what they see.

yes a <- b and b -> a could both mean B is transformed into A but one of them is actually "read" as "a is derived from b" which is different, syntactically, and in comprehension terms

(I don't mean any computing language does this specific notation. I just mean, that how we comprehend this is subtly different, and in the case of first/new programming language, its a higher-order problem. New concepts, new notation)
Yeah, I don't understand the thinking behind this product when you can buy a recently decommissioned Dell, HP or SuperMicro server with a pile of memory and a couple of fast Xeons in it, load up your Linux of choice and go to town with QEMU. This beast here has two ethernet ports as well, so one is dedicated to the I/O for the QEMU VMs and they appear on the local network as actual machines via a bridge. Stick an old ATI HD6750 in it and run two QHD monitors. You may need some mechanism to make it a bit quieter but on the whole it's cheap, awesome and easy to keep running. Got a Big Sur VM, a Windows 2019 server, Windows 10 and a Solaris VM just for giggles because I like to watch the old screen savers sometimes. Remote access: no problem. Power consumption: err...

Best of all, HP have integrated lights out on their enterprise gear, so if you need to reboot it remotely, you can!

They (big studios and streaming companies) could just make a deal, because any alternative would be worse. With very few exceptions, name actors aren't going to cross the picket line. Squid Game was a success, but I don't think Netflix can get away with subtitled everything.
I would point out that this article is from August 2021, which is not that long ago, but in the realm of COVID news, is actually significant.
Hidden kickbacks are a racket though. Google has very deliberately been making their ads less and less distinct from their top search results, in a frog-boiling way.
Last I checked, Texas gets back about 92 cents for every dollar it sends to the Federal level, so even if the state "is about getting as much federal money as possible", Texas loses money to the Federal government.

I say that as someone that generally finds the state reprehensible, but facts are facts.
Remember when players would host their own servers, and decide on their own what is allowed? I suppose we're to think centralizing this control in the hands of some multinational corporation is an improvement. It's certainly not being criticized by the likewise owned-by-giant-corporations gaming media:

Fastcompany is owned by Joe Mansueto, who also owns/runs Morningstar, a "financial services firm" with a revenue of $1.4 billion - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Mansueto

Kotaku is owned by G/O Media, that "runs Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Jezebel, The Root, The A.V. Club, The Takeout, The Onion, and The Inventory." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G/O_Media

Polygon is owned by Vox Media, which is itself partly owned by Comcast - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Media

IGN is owned by J2 Global, with a revenue of $1.4 billion and too many subsidiaries to list - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J2_Global
This is a bit like saying Oxford is 800 years older than the Italian civilization. It's more confusing than it is useful.
What if adtech is not really about selling ads?
What if search business is not really about providing search?
Perhaps the data collected from these ads/trackers everywhere is the raw material of more valuable predicition and manipulation products sold and classified on the income statement as advertising. The content producers that carry these so called ads are also now servant to the revenue provider, the so called adtech company, and not their readers.

Nah, not IMO. The video you linked to has the reporter claiming that the current state is "in stark contrast" to the day's earlier protests.

BTW, the term that I stated originally ("Mainstream media") may include CNN but it also includes AP, Reuters, and many more press agencies that are much more dignified. CNN used to be 'headline news' but has transformed into the same nonstop opinion shows in order to compete with Fox. So it's not the best source IMO.

But don't lose faith. Don't base things on the worst example. Instead judge Mainstream Media by the NYT, Washington Post, Reuters, NPR.

> if everyone gets a shot then the restrictions can go away.

That's really hard to believe after "15 days to slow the spread" turned into unprecedented vaccine mandates. And yes, they are unprecedented because needing a vaccine to work basically anywhere is unprecedented, especially for vaccines that are less tested than those that usually get mandated.

In other words, we have been lied to enough about when restrictions would end that I don't think they will end.
My meditation technique is purely focus-based. I pay attention to my breath, and tether my awareness to it.

I fully believe in the power of meditation, which means it can go wrong if used incorrectly, just like any other powerful mind-altering technique. What I'm afraid of is that in my pursuance of it from such a simple angle (literally just breath focus) and without guidance, I may have pushed my mind into lower working states than are conducive to my goals.

I hope that makes sense! I basically did not intend to be a meditative hermit, but maybe my technique and frequency of practice pushed me in that direction.

"Tax the rich" people get the details wrong, but I understand where they're coming from.

For most people with a consequential net worth, that net worth is tied up in their primary residence. If its value goes up, they pay higher taxes. Even if a rental property's assessed value goes up, rent goes up.

This doesn't really apply to the ultra-rich. Unless they're real-estate billionaires, and even then I'm sure they have better tax strategies than regular people.
That's New Hampshire. Common mistake.

Texas' state motto is "Friendship".

In Texas, Friends are people there when you need them, and politely distant, minding their own business when you don't.

Whom "you need" is referring to there is a perennial topic of conversation, and is generally a reliable seed of spirited dialectic.

> If it’s $39.99 on W-S.com, I definitely want to see the place that’s willing to sell the same pan for $34.99, the EBay listing for $32.50, and the one selling a competing similar one for $29.99 even if those sites don’t have the organic search SEO juice to land in the top 10.

But why would those sites not have the "organic search SEO juice"? If those sites are actually good places to buy that kind of thing, a good search engine should direct a user searching for that thing there.

Many people seem to mistake Stewart for a great actor due to his diction, accent, projection, etc. I find this early video of him fascinating because it compares him directly to another talented actor, both performing the same role, and you can clearly see how he’s all sizzle and no meat. https://youtu.be/MwRj8B1dXfk

Of course, despite his reputation today, and his continual mentioning of it in every interview, he never got famous for playing Shakespeare: he got famous entirely for playing Picard, and that’s the one role he did superbly because he based it on his father whom he passionately hated. You can see how when he was given authorial control to remake it into someone he himself liked (and based on himself?) in the recent reboot he completely butchered the essence of the character.

If you want advice on playing authoritarian star ship captains and on being in the right place at the right time then he’s not a bad person to ask, but he should be really be avoided on other topics. In fact for writing it might be best to ask his advice and then do the direct opposite.
The snake oil victims really turned me off conversing with other hi fi hobbyists. Pseudo-science about cables, ethernet hubs for audio, utter nonsense about jitter.

The insufferable Stereophile magazine and the nonsense it continues to peddle. Horrifying.

When you just look at how much she made in isolation, of course it seems like she’ a spoiled brat for suing to get more. But Disney promised her one thing (an exclusively theatrical release) and delivered another (a dual theatrical/streaming simultaneous release), and then they tried to shame her for standing up for herself. I doubt very much they’d have done the same to Chris Evan’s or Robert Downey Jr. They deserved to get sued, and I’m glad they had to pay up.
that is, unfortunately, not at all how the bug-bounty market works. Apple (or any other tech company) can't outbid three-letter-agencies, certainly not on a regular basis. Open market value is at least 10x higher than companies will pay directly.

Apple will pay a million bucks? Fine, NSA TAO will pay $10m. Apple can't pay $10m or $100m a bug on a regular basis, for the customers whom this matters the check is basically blank, as much as it takes.
vite uses Rollup, and I think it's probably better too. When I see zero configuration I become less interested in a project, because I like being able to configure things.

Edit: I found this on Vite's website: "Vite plugins extends Rollup's well-designed plugin interface with a few extra Vite-specific options. As a result, you can write a Vite plugin once and have it work for both dev and build." https://vitejs.dev/guide/api-plugin.html

"I don't think there is no prospect of coal consumption going down."

I mean already only 40% of millenials (according to a recent report) have the prospect to own homes, let alone financial security, or having kids.

None of the devices use power if the people cannot afford to do so, and usage doesn't nominally raise unless either tech demands or population increase. By what proportion depends on into which economy you are born, but this is tangential to the point - supply will not grow without demand.

Nuclear is not safe for people, period, non stop. Solar, wind renewables are not solutions either. Fossil fuels are just status quo, and only increase the general state of fucked up ness. Electric-only vehicles are a non starter, not only because they are so late as to be primarily luxury items for the priviledged elite, but because they produce worse issues than gasoline did, namely a rise in the use of coal, massive battery waste, and massive overuse of unsustainable "sustainables".

People who are serious about using fewer resources are proponents of geothermal, or space based tech (such as e.g. a nuclear plant next to the sun), interested in plastic conservation and alternative manufacturing, and interested in modularity, reusability, over what power source they happen to be using at the time of driving.
I think it's probably the correct argument to use.

As you pointed out, what the vast majority of gamers will respond to is performance. In order to get performance, you have to start cutting other areas like graphics. However, those are other important aspects - maybe particularly to marketing.

The reason it's not palatable enough to be widespread is because of it's technical limitations. If you throw enough resources at the matter to remove those limitations, you won't see all the pressure you're mentioning that keep companies from making maximal use of this kind of tech in all games all the time.

I'm pretty comfortable erring on the side of caution here. Cheaters are rather annoying, but at least it's a relatively contained problem with a fairly wide range of options for how I want to respond to it. Worst case, I can go try to find a smaller community or even just go play another game. Meanwhile, most every game being fully locked down in all the ways... I can't really do jack about that.
I have never done cost consulting but if I were to, I’d use this tool to do the grunt work and then use my brain to advise clients on how to actually cut costs. Like, rearchitect this piece based on that etc.

So my guess is that this would weed out cost consultants that are just glorified report writers, in exchange for ones that can actually give you actionable customized advice, rather than the canned type.
This is one of those things I keep hearing but in my case I experienced the opposite. I have been using OVH for a long time, and their paid support is actually really good.

One of our projects used to get ddosed and as a small company the only reason we managed to survive was thanks to OVH. When the attackers kept changing their attacks, we were direct to talk to their engineers and they helped fix the issue, all we had to do was send a bunch of packet captures to them.

Over the years since then we had a few issues and every single time their customer support was really helpful.

I have used paid support from google, azure and amazon, but I have had a better customer service experience with OVH overall.

Okay, I will take the bait. I have worked for over 20 years as a systems engineer on large, complex systems involving sensors, software, computers and various kinds of hardware. Of all of the programmers that ever worked for me, I would only say that 1 out of 5 could technically qualify as engineers. By this, I mean that they were able to lead the development and specification of requirements, designs, prototypes, interfaces, databases, computer architectures, operating systems, user interfaces, algorithms, test methods, etc. all while understanding the cost implications of all of it. And, they were able to work with engineers in other disciplines throughout the process. Those folks were software engineers, not programmers.

> never feel like they're doing extra, they feel like that is part of the job.

That's the wrong way to look at it - "do extra" is not for the job, it is for your skills.

>> so Extra is what helps us broaden ourselves beyond just what's useful on our narrow project

Researching a new way of doing things is not about doing what is in front of you, it is to make use of the time-resource you have while you're in context. The article does mention it in passing, though it might not be clear that it is not "do the work better" (in more maintainable, more scalable ways), it is "become better at working".

Trying something and not being hurried is how the "learn by doing" people learn.

>> find their way into roles where Extra is their Normal Work, and we call these people Architects

In the article, I think that's a mislabeling of what a Principal engineer should be doing - the Architect's job is pretty much to talk to other architects constantly about what the Principals are doing with their "Extra".

"Team X is rewriting their jobs from Lambda to Batch because this package is over 50mb" would turn into a "how hard would it be to split it into -lib, -bin and -debuginfo packages?" - someone would spent their extra and tell me "wait, but we're shipping the .a and .so in the same -lib - this is a 900k .so".

People who get into tech tend to get nerd-sniped like that, but more accurately also enjoy working on a "solve a problem, not really a deadline" work. The Golden rule is to never take credit for someone who figured it out, just because you sent the email asking about it. Keep a set of notes of stuff that spontaenously happens and note it in every promotion review you write & it does eventually catch on that working on a 2-day jog like this is going to pay-off.

If you have a high tax or reckless spending problem that makes your people take their money out of YOUR country, spend less.
Believe me when I say that all major tech companies have spooks in their ranks. They don't really need to insert backdoors or ignore bugs. They have human assets in the teams.
