On our Samsung tv every time you turn on the PC it does god knows what for 10-30 seconds (its trying to figure out what the device is and can’t..) we select PCand it works fine but it’s kinda annoying when the much older “dumb” Sony got the pc to tv running in less than 3 seconds…

The picture is great And the ROKU stick works well but the ads are very frustrating (we should never have done the internet thing, though my partner does like the YouTube app.. these suggestions might be worth a try)

I’d say that it’s less about choosing “Meta” as a name, and more the realization that Facebook isn’t just the name of the company, it’s the name of a single product the company makes. I’m really unsurprised by the name change.

Think of what it would be like if Microsoft were called “Windows”, or Apple were called “Mac”. Facebook has realized that their main product does not appeal to everyone, and attaching the “Facebook” name to everything they do is not a great way forward. That’s why the Facebook name didn’t take over the Instagram or WhatsApp brands.
Going from any of these items to 4 requires an extra special leap of faith. I personally see anything short of a full 4 as essentially being office work theater.

Our company operates as a 4 tier and I've been here for going on 7 years now. We still have to get on a daily standup call at a fixed time every day, and I still have to participate in other scheduled obligations (mainly tech calls with customers), but the rest of the time is mine to allocate as I see fit.

Also, there are consequences with "no fixed hours" that lots of humans are incapable of dealing with. The amount of discipline it requires to manage this freedom is not insignificant. This said, I am not against multitasking. If you can have something rolling while you get your work done, fuckin awesome. I don't care. I am more worried about the individual lounging on their couch, halfway through a 6 pack of IPA getting in some of that game of thrones re-watch, while the rest of the team is mopping up a shitty merge to master wondering where that individual may be at 11am on a Tuesday.
This part doesn't make sense: "When he’d first opened Alamo Airways 17 years earlier, George Crockett had deputized his own fiesta-red Ford Thunderbird convertible..."

17 years before 1958 would be 1941. But the first Thunderbird was produced in 1954.

This is the second attempt at VR. It had one attempt, died and now here we go again. Answer a few simple but important questions.

1) How do I share something physical with friends remotely in VR? Think food and drinks.

2) How do my other senses come into play? What if I want to smell my mothers perfume? Or feel and smell the ocean breeze?

3) Walking

There are still very large blockers we simply don’t have the technology for. This attempt will fail just the same.

Evergrande Averts Default Again by Making Second Late Payment
I made the study of mathematical logic and the connections between set theory and type theory and formalization in Agda my full-time focus. Increasing physical disability ended my career as a performing musician a few years ago and I had a life-long interest in philosophical topics connected with infinity. In the past two years I've written over 100,000 lines of Agda code as a product of my learning and research. I'd like to figure out a type-theoretical translation of the set-theoretic large cardinal axioms at the level of measurable and beyond.
I really think he is not interested in just the money. I think you need to give him the challenge to do something cool that he's interested in, access to teams of smart people to collaborate with, resources to be able to make an impact with the technical solutions he finds and give him the leeway to do his thing. There are not a whole lot of places that have the mass and spirit for this. Although, Carmack being him could spin something out of thin air, I'm sure.

He never struck me one terribly concerned with ethical dilemmas. More the pragmatic kind that wants to work on cool stuff. But I always listen when Carmack talks because no matter his ethics, I find he has exceptional insight.
This is not so different as one might believe. Those exact arguments about off-shoring and remote work already existed back then. Even your first argument was pretty much the same in all those other events as “has been shown that every code monkey can do their job remotely”. Turned out pretty soon that Software engineering is much more than just churning out code.
New Zealand banned it some years ago and I'm still pissed off. The supposed replacement is clinically useless, and I resent suffering through massive head pain from clogged sinuses every winter, while professional gangs still make money hand over fist from meth.

> you don't want to find out that you're out of stone when your bots stop autoreplacing your walls and the biters flood in

But stone is used in more than just walls. You also use stone to make concrete.

So what do you buffer? Do you buffer stone? Cause buffering stone didn't actually solve anything (your "stone reserves" are the mine itself. If you really wanted to see "how good" your reserves are, you check how many stone mines you have left).

Do you buffer concrete? No. That wastes stone unnecessarily. Maybe you need the stone for the biter attack.

Do you buffer walls? No. That wastes stone. Maybe you need the stone to make concrete.

--------

So here's our 4 potential buffers:

* Buffer Stone -- Inferior to just running by your stone mines every few minutes and checking to see how many stone is left in the mine. The __MINES__ itself are your buffer.

* Buffer Concrete -- Wastes walls.

* Buffer Walls -- Wastes concrete.

* Buffer Concrete AND Walls -- Wastes furnaces, pumpjacks, and oil refineries. All of which require stone to make (and can't be made out of Concrete or Walls).
>Most cities used to have all the industry located in the centre. It led to huge slums (because there was insufficient supply and massive demand) and everyone leaving the city when the slums got cleared.

I had this realization recently. Our entire society and work culture is structured around the laws of thermodynamics. In the industrial age, you had a mill or a forge, or a steam engine that was running 24/7 and necessitated high concentration of the workforce purely for reasons of thermodynamic efficiency of operating said equipment. Everyone had to "gather around the fire" so to speak because having disparate smaller works would be incredibly inefficient. In a world where information work now dominates, these constraints have become meaningless and are only perpetuated via institutional inertia.

All you need to do is work with a near on-shore team or an offshore team to dispel you of any notion of remote work being the death of high salaries. Maybe domestic remote work brings salaries down within the US, but the notion that everything is going to Eastern Europe is not accurate if you've ever worked in the field with that setup.

Given that Valve's next big product is a cheaper portable non-VR gaming system with a (planned) seamless onboarding experience, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was a test run for a future portable VR set to compete with the Quest.

Valve, with their already existing VR ecosystem, is probably the best positioned to compete in the space.

Depends on what you decide on the question I asked.

Personally I believe that your claimed cars value is speculative since you don’t mass produce and sell it widely. As a result, it makes no sense to tax you for the unrealized gains.

When you actually find a loser to buy it for the asking higher price then you should be taxed for your lottery earnings.

Man's Life Ruined Due to Unsecured Router (and “Justice” System)
Most likely the first few dozen Starships will not be re-launched in any short time. Although, the engines from any that land could be bolted to a new hull and re-used, after a week or two of re-work. There is simply zero plausibility of the current tile system offering any sort of quick turn-around.

But that doesn't matter. Even without any Starship re-usability (aside from Superheavy), you still come out far, far ahead of any conceivable evolution of SLS.
I don't think thats true, having worked with teams in Russia, Belgium, and India. The cultural differences can be a huge deal and sink projects.
> ...and I have a feeling that the nay-sayers from ROC might be concerned about losing political significance with their western trade partners.

This.

I live in Taiwan, and while I love the country and hope that it never falls to the CCP, I do believe that a primary reason TSMC's manufacturing remains so heavily concentrated in Taiwan is to increase the stakes for the West.

Very few Taiwanese I know believe that Taiwan is capable of repelling a Chinese invasion or attack without the support of the US, and protecting the Western world's access to semiconductors is a big incentive for the US to think twice about letting Taiwan fall.

While TSMC folks will tell you that their operation is so heavily concentrated for manufacturing and supply chain efficiency/optimization reasons, it is very unusual for a company as big and important as TSMC to have so little diversification in the geographical footprint of its operations.
> I hope Swift can eventually become more of a general purpose language, as its actually pretty nice and they're introducing features like this that clearly targets server-side programming.

I hope for this too. I did a personal project in Swift on Linux and found that I loved the language. However, I was greatly frustrated by the lack of libraries. For Swift to reach the mainstream, IMHO, the Swift Foundation needs to move much more of the ecosystem to platforms other than Apple's. I would vote for that even ahead of adding new features to the language.
This is only true on Apple platforms. String, of course, exists on all platforms. Of all the issues Swift's cross platform story has, this isn't one.

I start at step 1 in the task I'm trying to accomplish. First write the main function then put in the first thing your program needs to do.

I guess I usually have a plan before I even sit at the editor of what I'm going to accomplish with the project. You don't have to know all the classes and data structures you'll need at the start, you will discover it along the way when you find you have data you need to group together or code you need to call in multiple places.

I think of writing code like writing a list of instructions to tell the computer how to do something. The natural place to start is step 1. Then of course you can start roughing out the major steps in order and filling in the details once you have something you can run and start testing parts with (either manually or automatically).

Slum is a comment about the quality of the structures. That happens when your civilization is poor and a typical worker’s wages don’t buy much building material. Marginal structures are a thing in rural settings too, only there it’s “rustic” instead of “slum.”

Anyway, we are not that fledgling economy anymore. Contemporary high-rise apartments are really nice! Even the mass-produced 5+1s are perfectly comfortable and dignified homes.

As a big fan of India, I've been waiting and hoping for them to leapfrog China.

But I realized it's not happening, because for some reason they don't seem so have the same state capacity to act. It's a bunch of individuals, thousands of little groups suspicious of each other, struggling to provide even basic infrastructure in their largest cities. And constant brain drain to the West.

I really wish India well, and hope one day they will overcome this. A democratic, friendly, yet independent minded counterweight to China would be very nice, and the Indians deserve effective governance.
As a multi-decade fan of AoE II and current online player, I'm so disappointed by some of the creative decisions here.

The graphics, for one thing, look awful and make it difficult to take in the map at a glance. A lot of units look similar.

Why not just use high-res, 2D graphics based on 3D renders? Or even something closer to cell-shading, like what Breath of the Wild did?

I'm glad they wanted to support older machines, but this seems like the worst of all worlds.

I'm also not sold on the upgrade branches and hero units. The fun of AoE II is the "rock paper scissors" style mechanics, where nothing you do is a guaranteed good decision.

In IV, there are so many mechanics at play that outcomes seem more random and farther away from real-time chess.

Group video chat makes an enormous difference.

I'm a fast qwerty typist (135wpm) who looked into steno but ultimately decided not to put the effort in to learning.

I was surprised to discover that learning steno theory is much like learning a new foreign language due to the use of steno word dictionaries, and it takes most learners a few years of full-time study to get fast. (Of course, like with foreign languages, a small percentage of learners are able to go much faster.)

I think I'd prefer to put effort into a chording system with more predictability and less memorization (I've heard that Velotype might be a good match). Or failing that, I'd rather learn an actual new foreign language :)

Maybe the "go get a job and sacrifice your whole life to it" mentality from the 1950s has finally shaken out of the system. Maybe the rise of the gig economy has made workers realize, hey, wait a minute, I have VALUE to the company, I don't have to act like a serf.

What's the price of the typical product they sell though? I went to one of their booths at a trade show in Shanghai. It seemed that one of their key products was these OCR tools for components manufacturing for QA type tasks, although I assume they have more sophisticated products.

The trade convention was filled with a lot of smaller type competitors as well. I think the typical sticker price for one of those OCR type things is something around 20k RMB which is around 3-4K USD although I can't be sure exactly since they sort of throw these price ranges around, final quotation might be higher.

But at the time I didn't quite understand how such a low revenue product could support all the sales and engineer people running around. Plus these OCR tools tend to be fragile and need to be tailored to a specific production line meaning more costs.
