The reasons were rather simple: lack of motivation which is beyond the innovation in capitalism. The enterprises were part of ministries, and their directors were just managers working for salary. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ministries_of_the_Sovi...)

You can imagine state economy composed of 30-40 large corporations, like Walmart or LIDL running every grocery store, or Microsoft being the only software manufacturer. Remember stories of turf wars in Microsoft, between old and new technologies? Same thing was in the entire USSR.

Soviet government distributed investments, so you had to convince them. This was possible if you had a lot of political weight.

If you managed to get investment funds, your enterprise could not gain extra profit, because prices were regulated, and even if you were more efficient in production and over-produced for high demand, you did not own the extra money.

So, the prize for introducing a new product would be just a bonus and probably a state decoration. And it was often not worth the trouble fighting with the higher ranks in the ministry.

Another issue was central planning ahead of time. For instance, my father in his research institute would make demand plans for microchips and other electronic parts 2 years ahead (so that if there's more demand, the manufacturers have time to plan and budget for that).

This meant, it was really hard to introduce new hardware, and little incentive to try manufacturing new chips.

It was much easier to run the enterprise and do the plans as usually.
If you believe that, then I have a bridge to sell you. :^)

> combined with Medicare for all, funded via cuts to the military budget.

Largest and most insane military ever built and if you cut it completely and doubled income taxes(in addition to forcing everyone to pay, no low income exception) you wouldn't put a dent in your proposed plan. You would have so much debt the subsequent inflation would be beyond control.
Well then it was more of a luxury for the gentry who didn't truly have to worry about money from the career itself in the same way. The classical university system wound up falling into aristocratic "disdain of the practical and worldly as base"
flaw. Part of what drove the industrial revolution in the United Kingdom were the colleges of the heterodox, largely scottish which ended up providing the more practical but still sophisticated engineering schools. They lead to the "new money" captains of industry and middle class.

The two types of schools blended along the way of course and in other contexts. Trade-college blending is a very slow process but happening some. Farming is the furthest alarm but arguably that was an "agronomy and automation coup" as the model changed and made farm work a niche job instead of the majority.

The current system is related to more eglatarian mutation from hard class gatekeeping. Frankly that a lot of positions are flat out about justifying your actions to others as the practical skill component of the "philosophy of life". It is about getting what they measure for.
As others already mentioned, funding is just one factor here.

Mozilla decided to stop focusing on porting such applications to the Web before 2020's layoffs, when Mozilla was still growing. The decision came after some management changes, basically: I don't think any individuals changed their minds, just those people happened to leave, and their replacements had different ideas.

(I personally disagreed with the new priorities at the time, and ended up leaving.)
I hope this won't undermine the openness of the device. It seems quite apparent that someone will use the root access of the device to implement the paid features on their own and package it as an alternative UI. And at that point, reMarkable has no other way to prevent that than by locking the device.
Deno's as well, I suspect there'll be a later version where next runs entirely on Deno.

That's certainly the trajectory I expect from a release that is shifting a lot of tooling to Rust, and focussing heavily on the server-side functionality.

I also expect that's going to be done to benefit Vercel/nextjs's saas offering. Deno's APIs follow the browser APIs so it seems sensible enough to evolve the project in that direction.
One example I was thinking of was a comment where one coworker left a comment that said "why did you do it like this?". The other coworker took offense at the remark.

The same comment made in person while doing a code review wouldn't have nearly the same effect because the body language would convey additional meaning (e.g. this is an honest question, I'm not indirectly calling you stupid here).

This is often an inherent problem with internet forums which is why people often blow up on them over perceived slights, but there's many ways to mitigate this type of thing, e.g.

* low friction means of expressing appreciation

* some sort of low friction one-click polite programmed responses (e.g. X doesn't understand this area of the code, could you explain it?)

* something monitoring comments and suggesting rewordings
Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't we able to use `next/image` to transform local assets since v10?
In my opinion this makes sense? To react with an emoji, it requires more interaction from the user (tap and hold instead of a simple tap), which you could make an assumption that it signals it received more of the user's attention and is more attention-worthy content. This can be both bad and good, but is not inherently bad in itself. I can see why some would argue that an angry emoji could lead to a more negative news feed, but five out of the seven emojis you can react with are "positive", so you could also argue that positive content would drown out the negative content (assuming that there's an even distribution of interactions between emojis). At the end of the day, this was part of a study to understand human behavior, and without the study they would have no understanding of how emoji reactions could be used to improve a user's feed and improve their platform.
I never quite understood why they didn't just send the big goat first.
The purpose is for time tracking. I am a developer but I go through periods where I work on _many_ different projects. And also I sometimes get pulled in (without warning) to support the team on client calls.

It is not uncommon for me to have 15-30 different time tracker entries for things I worked on in a single day. This is not an exaggeration. Then other days I will work on a single task for entire day.

So all of this unscheduled stuff gets lost pretty easily. Calls scheduled for an hour run only 30 minutes. Client A needed 10 minutes of support here, 20 minutes there, 5 minutes there. I want to be as fair as possible to our clients.

And related to client support, there is often the question of "who owns this bug" and who pays for the call. So I can use screenshots of the client environment to relate to the team and get more information about whether we should really be billing for the call or if that's something that needs to be improved in our software.

Also I support other developers. Skype calls with developers tend to be short. But boy can they add up. If I'm spending 3 hours a day on support overall, I really need to track that. That time needs to go into the right project at the very least.

So that's where the screenshots come in. This is not something the company asked for or have ever requested access to. They know I do this. So when I say I spent two hours supporting a client, they feel confident sending out that bill.

It actually started as one of those experiments into time lapse video. But I multitask way too much for these to be usable videos. Though I have hand picked select days and turned them into something very cool.
The Gold Standard and the Great Depression (1997)
No part of the left-right political spectrum can be said to be the good guys or the bad guys in respect of free expression, especially in the United States. Roughly 20 years ago it was the conservative side doing most of the thought policing and the liberal side defending freedom of speech. The very same right-leaning media that now mocks "Woke" culture was cheerleading for the "Christian right" in the 1990s and labeling anyone opposed to the "War on Terror" as enemies and traitors in the early to mid 2000s.

The sheer hypocrisy of it all is incredible.

> some form of prohibition for hard stuff

I don't know how we could make that work in the US. We already tried alcohol prohibition 100 years ago, and that didn't work. Patent medicines were made illegal, and prescriptions are required, for this reason.

We've already recognized that overprescribed prescription opiates in the early 2000's was a deliberate attempt to bypass these protections and get people hooked.

> How to put that cat in the bag is anyone’s guess.

I think it requires a scientific process instead of a political process. IE, the politicians need to encourage medical professionals to keep trying many different approaches until we figure out what works. This will only happen when politicians stop criminalizing addiction.

FYI: All currently legal treatment options in the US HAVE to target ending addiction. Allowing someone to voluntarily maintain an addiction to anything is currently illegal, and means that only people who voluntarily want to stop their addiction are helped.

> Not sure what you mean there ("dominant"?) but in the 1980s, BASIC was the dominant language on home computers because that's what they included.

That was late 70s / early 80s and the firmware was all assembly with most software being written in machine code because the speed of those BASIc interpreters left a lot to be desired.

I’m talking later in the decade when operating systems became the norm. Early versions of Windows and Mac OS were written in Pascal.

We probably could in the next 100 years through automation, massive reduction in population, and making things to last instead of making things to be replaced. Building a society whose values aren't based around never-ending growth.

I think one of the biggest issues with node-sass was that it only supported a narrow set of node versions and platforms, which resulted in a lot more compilation from source. I definitely remember fighting with node-gyp and such, and pretty quickly ditched it for dart sass as soon as that was a viable alternative.

Next.js looks like it's shipping binaries for swc for a wide Node range (>=10), on a pretty comprehensive combination of operating systems and architectures:

- android-arm64

- darwin-arm64

- darwin-x64

- linux-arm-gnueabihf

- linux-arm64-gnu

- linux-arm64-musl

- linux-x64-gnu

- linux-x64-musl

- win32-arm64-msvc

- win32-ia32-msvc

- win32-x64-msvc

Unfortunately I don't have access to a system that _doesn't_ have a pre-built binary, so I have no idea what would happen if you tried to install Next.js on an unsupported architecture. That being said, I'd love to see the Next.js team ship a WASM version of SWC for such systems, which should ensure that when there's not a pre-built binary, at least you won't be asked to install a Rust compiler.
This works well as long as there is a reasonably high chance of someone being in the building when the power fails. For many rural setups (for instance: weekend cottages) that isn't the case so more and more inverters come with an automatic transfer switch built in or for a small surcharge as an option.
> decades of free flowing money from government backed loans to students

This, along with the perception that any college degree is a golden ticket, is the root of the problem.

The article mentions that 2/3rds of high-school graduates now attend college. That number is double what it was 30 years ago, and I'd argue that only a small fraction of that additional one-third should be getting a college degree.

My assumption is that a large percentage of the additional one-third is getting college degrees based in part or whole on free-flowing government-guaranteed financial aid, which is provided under the (mistaken) assumption that raising disadvantaged students up the income ladder can be solved by throwing money at them in order to get them any college degree.
The point of encryption in the first place is to allow an untrusted transport. If you trust the transport, you don't need encryption.

OMEMO nor XMPP provide trusted transport.

Perhaps the point you are reaching for is that encryption and transport should be different parties. The message should be encrypted before you hand it to the Western Union agent. After that, the decision between Western Union, Union Pacific, or Pony Express hinges on other concerns.
The denouncement clearly wasn't helping him, but since it's Yale, it's not unexpected. Yale itself has a bad racism reputation (https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2018/05/10/yale-responds-afte...), so the administration can be expected to respond by covering their own asses via declaring their lack of condonement or concurrence with his speech.

The letter they proposed is an acknowledgement that his actions were harmful and a specific declaration of lack of intent. It'd have been a good tack for him to take. Doubling down, instead, that the word choice should not be considered hurtful is risky; definitions are semi-subjective, and the history of the term he chose was clear (reference to a controversial left-wing blog isn't really an excuse; it's basically an argument "Well if shock jocks can use it, why can't I?" Because your profession of choice is lawyer, friend, not audio entertainer).

They do help, hard realtime only means that there can be no blocking (critical) section with a possible unbound time limit, toggling an IO register with a lower frequency as the CPu clock can still be done while shovelling in datagrams into the RF stack that can DMA acces in withput any CPu doings anyway..
A huge bet we're placing on our Rust compiler is that we'll control the supply chain much more tightly. The core infrastructure of the project will ship as an architecture-optimized binary (for local dev) or WebAssembly (for browser dev).

In the process, we're being careful and empathetic about the incremental upgrade paths and ecosystem compatibility, so we're shipping a number of packages that'll completely disappear in the future.

You'll see us drop a ton of deps and weight in the short term. Watch this space. Thanks for your feedback, I'm on the same page.
If I remember this correctly...

²³⁸U has an atomic mass of 238.05078826, so one mole of ²³⁸U weighs 238.05078826g. One mole means the Avagadro number of atoms, 6.02214076×10²³.

Dividing by 238.05078826 gives 1g of ²³⁸U having 2.52977×10²¹ atoms.

²³⁸U's half life of 4.468 billion years is 1.4099635×10¹⁷ seconds, so in 1 second

6.02214076e23/238.05078826*2^(-1/1.4099635e17)

will decay. Double precision arithmetic isn't enough for this (though it is for 1 day), but Wolfram's calculator works: 12,436 atoms decay.

I think they should consider how much nicer things are now that so many fewer people smoke. I can still remember people smoking on planes, in restaurants, etc. It was terrible. I'm in favor of anything that keeps that from happening again.
Radium more likely. Tritium is produced in small quantities in nuclear reactors and is the fuel for fusion bombs. I doubt that was used to make a crucifix.

There was a time, relatively recently, that the second half of your second paragraph was strictly in the realm of tin-foil hat weirdo.

I would give MongoDB Realm a try, it has all the building blocks you need!
All of the areas you mention as relevant to enterprise developers are things that require libraries written, potentially with APIs that lean less in the "high performance" and more on "easy to use/hard to misuse", not fundamental changes to the existing language or tooling. I personally think that the big surprise with Rust will be how flexible it can be, covering a wider range of use cases than it might look at first.

Any company that does try to work with Rust today in any vertical slightly outside of what is considered "mainstream" will likely end up having to write their own libraries for things that are already available in other languages, but that's a factor of the ecosystem's age.

Cold storage like that is pretty common in the North (as are raccoon proof locks ;) ), and many people run outdoor woodstoves which require going outside to keep them running at least once every two days or so.

Snowstorms are rare enough, even in Northern Canada that you can usually wait it out. If it lasts for days then that's a different story, but I only recall one multi-day blizzard over the five years that I was there.

What's surprising is that you can't expect people to be charitable in their interpretations and take things in the spirit it is meant. I make Marx look like a Bible beater, but I wont take offense at someone wishing me Merry Christmas. Or Eid, Diwali, Purim, or anything else for that matter.
Sure. I am not disagreeing with you. My main point is that even though someone does not owe me anything, I can still complain and whine about their project being bad to warn others.

> Software is not lemonade.
> "What happens if it burns down someone's house or dog?!"

I meant lemonade as an analogy on human relations.

I would say a FOSS dog house sprinkler system project would "owe the users" to not ignore bugs - or close the project.

But that would be an extreme example. I Boeing crashes planes because of a 7Zip lib bug, it is not the 7Zip maintainers fault. Or e.g. more realistically, Linus Torvalds' fault.

The only candidate for such a system is probably Driver.ai or what ever they are called, who are mighty irresponsible in their open source approach ...
If there's a new web game disruption it won't be started by the AAA-games industry, the AAA model depends on big platform owners like Valve, Nintendo or Sony, none of them have an interest in a distribution channel they have no control over.
When Sequoia expands their AUM they make more money because they have more assets to collect fees on. This mechanism expands their AUM every time they tender shares.

Sure common stock has a discount to preferred stock, but it's not an infinite discount, and it's mostly applicable in the pessimistic scenario. If employees are exercising their options, it's usually because the portfolio company in question has performed well.

Sequoia would most likely be happy to acquire shares in those companies at reasonable discounts to preferred, which would make both parties happy. With a permanent capital structure, the most logical thing to do is for them to keep levering up positions in their winning positions.
I'm not aware of many tunneling services that offer e2ee. My own boringproxy[0] does.

It isn't an issue of whether the developers made an error or not, but whether this constitutes a "release". Both in terms of the license, and the general legality of the situation. I think they would have a hard time showing this was.
