Comparing salary is irrelevant when one person has a founder ownership stake while the other was hired as an employee a lot further down the line. Dadgar would be perfectly fine with $1/yr.
Kids have varying abilities and are receptive to different things at different ages depending on personality / ability. Mozart was playing piano concerts at 5 but the vast majority of kids wouldn't be able to do that no matter the environment. Some kids are calm and open to teaching and coaching very early and some are not. People who have experienced precocious abilities for themselves or their own children often assume that this is universal (or just a matter of great parenting) but I don't think it is.
Even before the open app came along, people found enormous security holes in the system, because they were essentially operating with security-by-obscurity. It was super embarrassing for the city, they had to close the system for days while fixing it.

The official system has a mobile app, where it takes effort to figure out the API, and a SPA web app, where it is absolutely trivial to see which endpoints it is hitting and how.

And the ridiculousness of the city's defense that it's not open is made greater by the fact that if they had made an open API from the start, security should have been baked in from the start, which means they would have avoided embarrassing security incidents along the way. They already have all the components needed for a proper, public API. They're so close, and yet they're insisting that it's private, and that it's illegal to access their private API.
A standard webhook source abstraction would be very useful, that captures the URI, POST payload and HTTP headers.

This way I can setup my source in Jitsu, get a unique URL, and then paste that URL into the tool generating webhook events (e.g. Shopify). A normalized schema based on the JSON payload doesn't need to be created for this to be useful.
I was thinking about this the other day: in public physical spaces, we often have police who step in when someone says something that breaks the law. In private physical spaces (e.g., a restaurant, store, bar, or house), we either have owners, managers, or private security who step in when someone starts breaking store policy or law. However, in public (or pseudo-public) digital spaces and private digital spaces, some of us seem to rebel strongly against any type of norm enforcement.

I mean, I can see how sometimes the internet seems to promise even more freedom of speech than in physical spaces and also that sometimes there are not very clear written laws or policies for those digital spaces, paired with unclear or unfair enforcement of those laws and policies.

Makes me wonder what the future of digital governance will look like. Do we have the digital equivalent of cops roaming semi-public spaces like Twitter and Facebook? If so, by whose consent are they governing? Do these orgs hire the equivalent of private security guards or bouncers? Have they already done so through moderators and such?

Anyway, just got me thinking about some of the challenges in the governance of digital spaces.
Unlike simple operations like a floating-point multiplication, trigonometric functions and the other transcedental functions are too complex, so they must be split into many steps.

If a trigonometric function is encoded as a single instruction, then it must launch a microprogram, to execute the many required steps.

A microprogram cannot execute faster than when the same execution steps would have been encoded as separate instructions, the only advantage of encoding a trigonometric function in a single instruction would be to reduce the program size. Most programs contain few trigonometric functions, so the reduction in program size is not worthwhile.

While a microprogrammed trigonometric function could be as fast as the equivalent sequence of instructions, in reality it is usually much slower.

The reason is that the modern CPUs are optimized for the most frequent instructions and they dedicate a minimum of resources for the seldom used microprogrammed instructions, so these hit various limitations that do not exist for the simple instructions. The microprogrammed instructions usually have some phases whose execution cannot be overlapped in time with other instructions, which leads to lower performance.
Lots of tech reviews will also not say anything bad, for instance anyone critial of Apple won't get access to their events, products, and will be blacklisted.

lol! Stellaris can be played on a laptop, but try ramping the Galaxy size up to 1000 and/or increase the habitable planet multiplier. You get a couple hundred years in and the game just crawls even on nice hardware. Its not unplayable, its a strategy game, but the pace definitely slows down a lot, and space battles aren't as fun to watch.

By the same token you can play virtually any game on a cheap gaming rig. Just put all the graphics on low, run it at 720p and be happy with 20 fps.
No one should force him to go and he shouldn’t go if he “knows” he is right and they will be wrong. I definitely went over the line, but I was trying to point out that I thought he likely did have an issue and a therapist would help give him a perspective outside his own.
Congratulations! It's always refreshing to see someone use simple, readily available tools to level-up.

I don't know how many people will relate to this, but while I've known that scheduling time will help me get things done, I keep avoiding actually getting around to it. It's as though I am afraid to face my own impending success.

You've motivated me to try and get things done though - thank you and congrats once again!.
Nailed it. This article is a textbook example of why STEM people shouldn't be so quick to dismiss things like political science.

What we're talking about here is governance -- laws, norms, and fairness. Nobody lives on an island. Even on land that's "yours", you're still reliant on things like roads, water pipes, and other shared public infrastructure. You don't like how someone's running things, vote them out or leave, but don't pretend you're better off doing everything yourself. "Self-sufficiency is the road to poverty" as a famous economist said.

Incidentally I've been watching the walking dead again (season 8) and a lot of this stuff is the subject of the show. It's definitely had some rough patches but at its core, it's a show about how to build communities and large-scale civilizations, and what effects various leadership styles have on each society's long-term prospects. Very relevant.

It would just be another form of gambling, just like they did with micro-transaction lootboxes.

I'm pretty sure there is a market out there for games as a product; games as an immersive, cohesive experience from beginning to end, just like a movie, except with gameplay. The problem I think was mobile games completely sidetracking the whole industry with micro-transactions and increasingly making games as a service. This is why in general good gaming experiences are now in the past (I'm pretty sure it's not nostalgia). I'm hoping this changes with the advent of game engines democratizing development more and more.
The Critical Drinker is an acquired taste but watching his videos eviscerating The Last Jedi led me into a discovery of YouTube content creators who are quite skilled writers and explain a lot about storytelling and cinematography. To his point in this video, whether the writers are emotionally still children I can't say but it's clear the audience isn't expected to bring critical thinking in order to understand the plot. Not every movie needs to be serious and have three levels of interpretation but it's rare to find any like that anymore when it wasn't so rare before.
The resources that are spent on cosmetic purchases could instead have been spent elsewhere, possibly providing a better overall gameplay experience.

I don't think anyone is arguing that freemium games can't be fun or that some microtransaction models are more player-beneficial than others. But, like with any feature, if you include microtransactions than some other aspect received less attention (assuming a fixed budget, which I realize is also a consideration as game X might never have been made without the freemium component to propel the business decision).

Edit: Also, as others have said here, most freemium developers focus on extracting revenue from the "whales," not the players who play for free or pay little.
Is there a guiding philosophy behind any of Firefox's decisions?

If it isn't customizable by the type of users who care about customization, then what is the reason to use Firefox instead of what ships with your OS or Chrome. Why would "typical users" have chosen Firefox in the first place without some vocal user suggesting it?

I still use Firefox for everything, I'm just sad that the lack of inspiration in the project means that it might not be a viable option in a few years. Maybe they're aiming for making 98% of users happy, and matching 98% of the features of other browsers, but it needs to have some reason to exist. Usability testing without innovation is that different from p-hacking without hypotheses in science.

Anyway, compact density was a non-default option, so it's difficult to understand why the option had to be deprecated. Compare that to MacOS. I didn't upgrade to Big Sur until Apple restored the option `NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture`, which allows you to drag a window from any pixel when you hold down control-option-command. Out of a billion users, I'd be surprised if more than 5,000 users care about this feature. (ie >99.9995% probably don't care) I only use the feature in combination with Karabiner Elements to change the command and Steermouse to recognize mouse button chords, but I invoke the command every couple minutes. Nevertheless it was restored, and it never disappeared in Monterey. Is it the budget alone that allows Apple to be simultaneously opinionated in their UI design and user accommodating, or is it completely different attitudes about users?

Not, it doesn't. You would just need to copy the private key to the other devices.

I'm not sure what you mean - aside from speculative pricing models there are regulatory constraints too, that are a part of the same codebase.

Not to mention that there is a use case for auditing pricing models (as in external requirement, or internally) or comparing alternative models.
"They will come looking for you, putting a gun to your head telling you to transfer your assets to them"

You talk about pragmatism but give a crime scenario out of Hollywood movies.

Do you mean bank transfer? Am I transferring a million dollars into an official bank account registered in the criminal's real name?

Do you mean I should sign a deed giving them possesion of my house, and that would hold up in court?

Any large transfer will trigger a multi-day KYC and security process at the bank. Are they going to hold me hostage for weeks?

There is a much easier crime that pays better and does not involve risk of death and leaving your fibgerprints all over: stealing a car, an expensive car.

That's why there are more car thefts than home robberies.

What's the purpose of the standup again?
I actually have IOP problems and have discussed these treatments with my dr. The answer is really it depends. In my case, the problem is that the little channels which drain the fluid are too small and get clogged by debris from my flaky retina (so it's two problems coming together to make one big problem). I could get a laser treatment to burn and widen those channels, but it generally lasts for a year or two and then you have to do it again. The high powered laser additionally can burn your retina as it diffuses through the vitreous. A stent doesn't have those problems, but it does come with some chance of complications. For now I'm managing just fine with eyedrops. It's annoying to have to put them in every day, but they definitely work. One side effect is that my iris might turn brown after some more months, sadly.
How is this different than instigating demand for Lamborghinis and 30 room mansions?

Gaming people to do things of nonsense utility is about all humans have to do after basic life supporting logistics.

Seems like mining fake objects, while power consuming, is less literally damaging than rocket ships and garages full of cars, boats, and 5 mansions that never get used.

It’s not outside the realm of possibility pretend loot is what the masses have to look forward to “owning” aside from basics down the line.

Memory bandwidth per core, per clock cycle is actually very limited on many systems. So you end up being bound by memory bandwidth any time you're running compute-intensive apps on multiple cores, unless thermal constraints hit sooner - which is quite unlikely on Apple silicon, and ARM silicon more generally.
I'm very sympathetic to the author. I had to take a few breaks reading this article. Eye damage, things coming close to my eyes, or needles near my eyes are pure nightmare fuel as long as I can remember. "Fire in the Sky"'s experiment scene really pushed this over the edge for me as a child. I still get queasy thinking about it.

A technically competent user's feedback should be weighted at least one, if not tens or hundreds of orders of magnitude greater than anonymously gathered telemetry. Remove actual, intentional human communication from the loop and you're lost at sea - anyone can make the anonymous data mean anything, and then it's whomever can make the cleverest chart or analysis of the data that ends up directing decisions.

Ignoring the people who actually take the time to communicate problems in favor of interpreted telemetry is exactly why Firefox is losing. Taking direction from technical users, or so-called power users, can give the application improvements in nuanced and technical uses. Taking direction from anonymous "averages" makes development a race to the bottom.

Firefox developments over the last couple years feels like what would happen if you put grandma in charge of trying to make things better. To put it bluntly, fuck grandma, she doesn't know what the hell she's doing anyway. Firefox used to be a Lamborghini, it doesn't need training wheels and balloon bumpers. Lean into technical excellence and drop the obsessive ui/ux nonsense.

I still remember the excitement from Vagrant back in the day (which I think started it all). Here's the 1.0 announcement in 2012. [1]

The tools and vision they created after, just amazing coming from a small scrappy startup crew. Which, IMO, is totally wild given the offerings clearly tend to target bigger Enterprise who have bigger teams/apps/ops demand.

Yes except I got asked again and again what is "Intel 7". So I am going to stick with a simple naming scheme that right now happens to be about the same across all three foundry working on leading node, Samsung, Intel and TSMC. And everyone can relate or understand.
Can't see the value of Amazon Retail here without going full-in with Prime, and not even then.

The M1 parts actually have way worse memory latency (i.e. random accesses) than both AMD and Intel. A finely tuned Intel system has around 3x lower memory latency than an M1P/X.

All of this is SDRAM, the S stands for synchronous and means that the memory is driven according to fixed timings in relation to a fixed bus clock. All LPDDR4X-4266 parts with the same timings perform exactly the same, whether they are soldered to the interposer or are 5 cm away on the board.
Ever since Vagrant, everything Hashicorp has developed has been outstanding! Furthermore, their open core model and this S1 is an inspiration. I wish all the best for Mitchell, Armon and the team!

I have a couple emails from Mitchell H circa 2014. He was doing front line customer support for the Vagrant VMWare Workstation provider -- I think it was just about their first paid offering. I was impressed that the head of the company would take time to help me troubleshoot my busted setup. Incredibly technical and incredibly hard working.
I feel like I should point out that the average American farmer's age is ten years older than France's. In America the average farm is just getting larger as a result. This is simply something that France does not want, but I am not sure they can avoid.

Most of farming is a low margin capital intensive business. You can start from scratch and bootstrap your way in but you need to start from a niche with a high margin crop and be extremely capitally efficient.

Growing organic vegetables, mushrooms or flowers. I've known people who raised calves for larger farmers, contributing labor and feed for a set price. You need to be extremely creative.

I know a farmer locally who came as an immigrant who started in a community garden raising vegetables that were not available locally. He now owns a farm and equipment, but still has to quit his day job as a janitor.
