I'm laughing now at how cartoonish this guy is, but might not be laughing later when my children must Surrender to the Orb to pay off their fathers' crypto-debts.
Somewhat tangential, but if people are looking for an After Effects / Premiere alternative, I highly recommend Davinci Resolve.

I can only really speak to the editing, but it seems leaps ahead of premier in a lot of ways. Very quick for scrubbing through 4k footage (even the free version) and far more intelligence when it comes to certain jobs (eg throw a folder of RAW photos in there to make a hyperlapse and it'll recognise them as a sequence and let you treat it as video).

The free version contains 90% of the features and is completely free - even for commercial use. The studio version is a one-off £250 (two seats) with free major and minor updates for life. It ran on Linux before it could even run on Windows and has just been optimised for M1 Macs.

Considering Adobe wants £238/year just for Premier (editing) or £600/year for the whole suite if I want After Effects (Resolve has "Fusion" built in for sfx, though admittedly the CS suite has far more to it than just that), for my uses it seemed like a no-brainer. And I got a free editor keyboard (£250 retail) when I bought the license.

My only annoyance is that Premier is so ubiquitous that you can need a license to be able to open projects from other editors. And that also requires you're all on the same version as the file format gets bumped every version (infuriating if you've deliberately stayed a version behind because it runs better on your older hardware). I find it quite ironic as the two big Premier users (companies) I know will do their final cut in Premier, render it and then throw it to a colourist who imports their final video into Davinci for colour grading anyway.

One of them already has plans to transition across for the edit, but as they have decades of combined experience working with Premier, it's a difficult if not dangerous decision to deliberately loose productivity whilst people retrain. If you're just starting out, especially at home or in a small team, then the idea of starting with Premier seems crazy.

Just because something is doable (running a complex app such as an OS or Photoshop or 3D Max in a browser)- doesn't mean that you should do it.

Also, I'd rather own the application (and run it on my computer) and my data rather then rent the application and depend on a company to have access to my data.

Long before the Internet, you could go through an airport and be unable to avoid the Moonies & the followers of Lyndon LaRouche. You could find the book "None Dare Call It Treason" and lots of people did. "The Daily Worker" (newspaper of the US Communist Party) was readily available. Any of those groups could take out ads in the newspaper, or hold demonstrations (like the Nazi Party in Skokie, IL). There were UHF stations on TV where they held forth.

Yet democracy did not collapse. Why? Because humans have the ability to weigh evidence and discard the nonsense. They have agency. They can decide for themselves what to believe. They don't need you to control their information flow.

"Oh, but now it's different!" the "integrity" people claim. "Now we have to control their conditioning!" No, it's actually not, and no you don't. Now the public has more exposure to views that you don't like. That doesn't mean they swallow them all -- that's just your nightmare of how those other people act.
> Has Wired, like Apple, claimed at any time that it won't do so?

Do the stalkers ever defend themselves by claiming they never said they wouldn't stalk people? No, that's an utterly ridicuous notion. Stalking is illegal, nobody likes being surveilled by some stranger at all times. Whether they warned the victim of their intent is completely irrelevant.
I don't know if your work in SEO has affected your speech but this sounds a 100% like an ad that people write about themselves online to promote their services. It follows all the patterns of false testimonials you'd usually hear in infomercials.

Sorry if it's genuine, I also sometimes like to recommend people and companies I've had good experiences with.

Ooh, disgusting? I wonder how many response types it knows.
The major difference in constraint is how much user intention/data it's acceptable to discard, especially when a user message arrives later than expected.

In a multiplayer game, it's fine to discard all user intention that arrives a few minutes "late" - gameplay has moved on, and the client should discard local state and just use the server state. But this is totally unacceptable for a text editing application.

CRDTs or Operational Transforms are strategies that allow accepting user edits and preserving their intention even if the user is days or weeks behind or diverged from the server state. I'm not aware of a real-time multiplayer game that allows such high latency for user input.

I consider most web-services - certainly glue code - to be at the "application layer". Of course these definitions are always fuzzy.

Which isn't to say Rust is never the right choice for those, it's just a more complicated question that's highly project-specific. Which is why it isn't mainstream there like it is in other places.
Note that the Matrix WhatsApp bridge is fundamentally pretending to be the WhatsApp web client (as I understand it at least). The phone is still the interconnection point and if you turn off your phone no WhatsApp messages would get through to Element. It is improved by being a once off 'pairing' though and you don't need to switch between multiple web clients.

Of course the new 'multi-device' beta might improve the situation but that's not leveraged yet.
I'd like the answer to be “yes”, but at this point if you need to ship software I'd say “no”. There are wasm counterparts to React (my favorite right now is yew.rs), but they're self-described as not production-ready. Overall, the tooling is just much more developed on the JS/React side. Unfortunately.

That said, you can get plenty of mileage out of using React as a frontend and wasm for the application core. I believe this is what Figma does. And you can sidestep the DOM entirely and use your own UI renderer, which seems to be what Adobe is doing here. https://makepad.dev/ is another (absurdly impressive) example of that approach, but that's a very involved approach!
You could hypothetically use Webassembly to build your entire application around a canvas and either render directly with canvas calls or WebGL, but it would somewhat miss the point of the web unless you're explicitly building a game or something.
The Bates Method is a good starting point to take apart the arguments.

> A law like this could regulate businesses out of existence.

Only if they didn't change their business model to something less incredibly antisocial than walling people in and serving them ads.

There are many ways to operate a communications business on-line. That only the bad one is used in practice is a consequence of it being the most profitable of available options. If it weren't available (say, because of being regulated away), companies would pick the next most profitable one.
> But that doesn’t give Apple permission to track our lived experience at all times with its microphones, cameras and sensors.

They also aren't doing that.

> Thanks to Apple, physical shops can track us through our phones

Is this referring to Wifi or even 3/4g? I can't see how they can call this "Thanks to Apple", maybe it's something else?

> What is left unsaid by Apple and others is that digitising the world entails surveilling it: recording everything, making it taggable, trackable, searchable – and hackable.

I don't think many people would call something "surveillance" if it never leaves the phone, which is the case for almost everything Apple does in this regard. Yes, your phone known where you are at all times, but as long as Apple doesn't, is that an issue?

Yeah there's lots of alternatives to the app stores for windows games. You can also just sell direct to consumer.

The real challenge with webassembly as it applies to games (at least large ones) is the asset size. AA - AAA games are 20-100 GB and that can't just live in browser cache.

Also, to be honest building a complex game and shipping it to the web is kinda crap shoot for other reasons. Games are power hungry, and don't want to be limited by browsers. Also, a browser is a massive application that sits around consuming resources that a AAA native game could use.

But of course, I imagine games will be developed differently to take advantage of the web (smaller games, streaming in levels / textures as needed, etc).
You just made a good argument for eliminating college. Or at least any tax payer money for it.
That's why games running in browsers need a different approach to asset loading, instead of downloading everything upfront, stream the asset data directly from CDN when needed. It's nothing new, games had to deal with streaming data from slow mass storage devices throughout their entire history.
Applications and Techniques for Fast Machine Learning in Science
I partially disagree. Assuming you are majoring in something that has some positive ROI and do enough to actually graduate, which isn’t hard at most colleges, the party experience can be very supportive of most people’s future careers.

The social skills, networks, and alumni connections you build at college are a large fraction of the benefit that college gives the average person to further their career.

Otherwise, I agree. College is a great time to take advantage of the time you have to change your network, generate new ideas and take risks. And I also agree that most there can be benefit (though highly unlikely) for some people to not attend college or to drop out.
I spent a lot of years struggling financially because of not having bought a piece of paper from a university that signaled my worth as an employee. The most laughable was over a decade ago when small retail outlet wouldn’t even consider me for an assistant manager position because I didn’t have a 4 yr degree, even though I had years of retail management experience.

In other news, I thankfully escaped that soul sucking career path awhile ago…

Data Analytics Case Study: Step-by-Step Solutions
That's interesting! If you'd be willing to post something detailed that draws on your experience in this area, it would be a valuable contribution.

Incidentally, it's rather common for people with experience on a topic to post shallow dismissals. When a point is obvious from your experience, the only thing that really needs to be said (from your private perspective) is the obvious point. You already have access to your experience and don't need to write it all out.

But it's totally different from the reader's point of view. The rest of us don't have access to your experience, so we need you to fill in the details in order to reach the same conclusion as you. Otherwise the obvious (to you) point comes across as arbitrary and dismissive. It's indistinguishable from a low-value putdown by a commenter who actually doesn't have experience with the topic.

Of course, it takes more time to 'show your work' and walk the reader step by step to the conclusion. But that's what makes the difference between a valuable contribution and a negative one. Comments in the shallow format damage the forum because they encourage people who actually don't know anything to post in the same manner.

As one data point, I probably would pay $5 a month just for that. Combining that with all the other Matrix goodness is a bonus.
Presumably it smells a lot less due to lower volatile organic compounds, although I don't have firsthand experience with the ones in CA. Although aren't VOC limits a separate regulatory push, apart from Prop 65?

As an aside, I do have some experience with California paints and they're terrible. I'd much rather have a day or two of leaving the windows open after painting, than to have paint that never really dries and releases low level VOCs for a month.

I don't deny there are some genuinely interesting tech coming out of Apple (I wish I could buy an M1 without all the Apple baggage), but the problem is not crusty old tech, there will always be flaws and technical issues... the problem is this persistent attitude of covering shit up and flat out lying to customers faces, especially when they have spent so much fricking money on a premium product.

I can't buy from a company who deeply disrespects their customers in this way. This will sound like an extreme reaction to anyone who hasn't experienced this side of Apple yet - but just wait until you experience it first hand.
that’s impressive
> My question is why we keep doing the same thing while expecting something to improve.

An existential dilemma: these institutions need to justify their budgets and positions. So, headlines are the currency they trade in and this 'high value' bust results in good PR for their agencies/departments, but still imparts low value to Society over all.

It's quite clear their are bigger fish to fry if the goal was to reign in on illicit dealings, be it from the Panama papers to the Paradise papers it's clear that illicit trafficking of funds is done not with Cryptocurrency on the DNM, but rather through traditional institutional banks.

But, the selective application of the Law and a tiered justice system ensures that laundering money for cartels is met soley with a fine, whereas charges like hosting a website (SR1/ Ross Ulbricht) can get you 2 life sentences.
I think this does need to be balanced with the public benefit to know things though. One of the bad side effects of counties that have such "right to be forgotten" laws is that their primary beneficiaries seem to be corrupt politicians who want the public to forget about their scandals by suppressing Google searches about them.

Second the recommendation for Resolve, just be aware it's the gateway drug to an expensive BlackMagic hardware habit.
Economic growth in diversified regions. They are the roots for growth, where in cities, the marginal value they contribute is a fraction of what they can contribute outside of one. There is a prevailing political worldview predicated on warehousing people in cities and making them dependent on public services, which values human life as managed livestock in service of an owner, and not as an engine of growth and development, but that is one I do not share.
This doesn't really solve the issues with advertising though. I believe the main reason so many developers want their games on Steam is because of the greater attention they get rather than the distribution side of things.

That said, I think the niche of casual remote party games would probably work very well here. During the height of the pandemic my friends and I started doing a lot of "remote game nights" with various different kinds of games. However since most of them rarely played games, owned macs and weren't very technically inclined, the games that had the least friction were generally the browser based ones.

Since party games by nature tend to be great at organic advertising and benefit the most from quick easy installs, I think there is a big opportunity here that not many have taken notice to yet.

"flasher coded in python, IDF coded in C" is installable through cargo. I did not have to install "MinWin". Docker does not having access to ports, but WSL2 does have access to the computers ports (through cross-compiling build tools).

Not having to install custom Rust toolchain for Xtensa chips was nice, too.
That ship has sailed for at least a decade, and DCC applications like Photoshop or Maya were the forerunners of custom UIs.

I dug in deep to find the prices so others don't have to. Personally, I'm fine with this model a lot of the great features are probably supported by doing compute in the cloud and there are also huge advantages to having storage in the cloud.
I've tinkered with cheap nas cases. It's easy to end up with a case that: so thin/flimsy that it rattles, crappy plastic carriers that seem designed for 3 insert/removals before dying, terrible airflow, and/or loud.

There are exceptions of course, but it's not an easy task to find a nice solution that is quiet, vibration damped (easier on spinning disks), good airflow (keep drives cool), nice mini-itx or similar motherboard (ideally with ECC), an expansion port (10G or M.2/U2 cache), etc.

One I've had my eye on is the Fractal Design Node 304.

I have no doubts that Facebook is bad, but I do think it's worth pointing out that a lot of these articles are being written by Facebook's competitors. Washington Post certainly has cause for some ulterior motives on the topic.
Transports work for you when you're an upstart, because it makes it less risky for users to adopt your platform. They work against you only once you get significant market share.

See e.g. Slack, which propelled itself to success by offering an IRC transport, which prevented strong opposition for technically inclined people, and then promptly killing it when they became a major player in the office IM space.
I'm conflicted. I love the technology and workflows that porting large apps to the browser bring you.

But this further moves us away from local first software: https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/

People sometimes talk about how crypto / bitcoin will decentralize things, but honestly we just need a better culture of native software. One that brings the best of what modern user interfaces and collaboration have to bring without the headaches of multi-OS development.
I've never met anyone who couldn't grasp the idea of programs running locally on a computer. Practcially every user of Android/iOS will understand it intuitevly. Back in the day anyone of all ages and abilities I knew on 90s-2000s hardware could download and install programs. Anyone who couldn't honestly wouldn't get much benefit from a computer.

Indeed, the convenience argument is just a pretext. They long to see the back of the days when you could buy Photoshop 7.0 for a one off fee and still use it today.
magnetic variation doesn't change all that quickly at 100 knots, and charts provide the variation. I don't really see it being a much bigger workload, and I imagine that if this change does occur chart plotters like Foreflight will start displaying the current variation very prominently for convenience (it's already pretty easy to pull up). I can also imagine people starting to sell retrofit bug rings for heading indicators that let you set the variation in for convenient setting.

But in general most pilots of slow aircraft probably already know the approx. variation around their area by memory, most pilots of fast aircraft will have instruments that do it for them.
Proof-of-work is also the only way to preserve decentralization. One CPU, one vote. Everyone can and should participate. Bitcoin failed at this because the hashing algorithm can be accelerated by specialized hardware, leading to professional miners setting up large centralized operations and taking over the network.
No it doesn't. Its "counterfactual" earnings are an attempt to estimate the earnings of the same cohort of people had they not gone to college. Which is impossible to do without random assignment, but they are making a good-faith estimate.
