It's a design that has continued to persist to this day and has been extremely successful for Pepsi.

$1mm seems like a bargain for such a high profile change to a product, that at the end of the day, sells based on little more than its branding (cola based soft drink).

I suspect that the original presentation had a lot of pointless fluff, but once you separated out the fluff, it was probably a sensible and logical approach, that led to a design that simultaneously appeared fresher, yet was undeniably recognizable as Pepsi, and was also very flexible which was important keeping in mind all the new major technology mediums that seemed to be popping up every few months around that time.

I'm curious what the defaults are in terms of ship instrumentation, I have an (aviation) pilot's license so am familiar with aviation's default UIs, but not a boat.

Aviation's are in many cases what we would call "crap" and have seen improvements by leaps and bounds since GPS-enabled multi-function displays have become available.

What's the difference in a boat and an airplane, in UI terms?

Apologies in advance as it's been a very long time since I was focused on Quantum Cryptography, so please be kind if I'm garbling things or stating things poorly. I haven't thought about this stuff in 20+ years so the mental paths are a bit rusty.

The ultimate purpose of quantum crypto is to prevent eavesdropping on your channel. With quantum crypto, mitm attacks will almost always be the easiest form of attack so you can't trust quantum crypto if you can't prevent mitm attacks. If you share enough information to detect and prevent an mitm attack, you share enough info to form a classical crypto system with equivalent protection (as in, if you don't know who you are talking to, there's fundamentally no way to know if you've been mitm'ed, quantum crypto or not, so you have to share some kind of info with the other party in order to prove the end of the system is your intended recipient, and you can't bootstrap that sharing with your quantum crypto system so you must have found some secure key distribution mechanism to do so prior to using the quantum system - this is fundamentally the key distribution problem, and quantum doesn't actually help with this part it just obfuscates that it's happening because people get distracted by the shiny uncertainty principle math).

That required shared info is what the security of your quantum crypto "protected" system is actually built on. You can do just as well at protecting your transmissions against eavesdropping using classical methods far more cheaply and far more easily. Someone, (possibly Bernstein?, it's been a long time since I was thinking about this stuff), wrote a paper in the late 90's on communicating over noisy channels (or using noisy channels to a public random number source? as I said, it's been 20 years) and showed as long as you could estimate/demonstrate that your channel had lower noise than your opponents you could use the knowledge of that noise difference to deliver any desired level of security through the channel. That paper didn't make an explicit connection to quantum crypto because quantum crypto was so new and so niche at the time, but all Quantum Crypto is really doing is providing a way to get a good estimate of the noise ratios between your channel and your attacker's channel. That's handy, but mostly theater. The rest works just as well classically.

> hell maybe even one of the best programming books

My thoughts exactly. I loved it so much I emailed the author and - embarrassingly - told him he was the Mark Twain of programming books! He replied and was also very embarrassed by the comparison.

Or maybe that was for his other book, Design Patterns in Ruby, I don't remember as I try hard to forget the details of embarrassing moments. I'm still waiting for a Lacuna-like company to arise and help me forget them all…

Still, either book is well worth a read, both are top of my recommendations. If he (Russ Olsen) ever writes one about Haskell then perhaps it'll finally go mainstream :)
I'm the same in desiring a preconfigured setup. I think it's similar with how I like the same thing but for a tiling window manager like i3/sway. I suspect there might be a fair few who still prefer the vim or emacs environment that want a preconfigured setup with a basic level of configuration, as is commonly offered by a desktop environment.

I like leaving the configuration to someone who I know has a better understanding of all the offerings. I realise this may not appeal to someone who has strong opinions or similar level of understanding as these maintainers however.

I might mention, if you hadn't already been aware of it, that SpaceVim exists as well. I really like the concept of layers, the bundling of packages for different features for basic/simple configuration (both SpaceVim/Emacs have this).
> It is my (possibly outdated) understanding that even today they make distinction between descendants of Japanese born abroad and the "true" Japanese, to the point they have different words to tell them apart.

And the USA distinguishes "natural-born american citizens" from "american citizens". The law in America forbids a foreign-born citizen from being president.

Similarly, English also has a special term, a "natural-born citizen", to distinguish this difference. Having different phrases for two different things doesn't really mean much.

By contrast, according to the wikipedia page on the subject (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign-born_Japanese), Japan has no restrictions on foreign-born citizens. They can become Prime Minister and hold other political offices. The difficulties lie in gaining such a citizenship, not in what you can legally do once you have it.

I do think there are valid points you could make about how Japan's policies and culture have resulted in relatively low foreign immigration, but the talk of "having different words for things" and types of citizenship doesn't further your point nor seem based in fact.

My point is that there's a difference between "you need to update to use certain things" and "your computer literally is forcibly updated even if you don't want it to or aren't ready". I agree that Windows is probably ahead in terms of backwards compatibility, but the first few comments in the thread were talking about machines getting updated without them applying the updates, which is not a thing I'm aware of happening on most Linux distros.

It is outdated indeed. First, take care not to mix what Japan is and what Japanese random people in the streets think it is. Japan is a Chinese spinoff from the first millenia, an american-influenced economical force with a heavy (relatively) Russian illegal immigration.

My point is going to be weird, but I'm now Chinese having been born in the north of France, and my skin happens to be white. Even China, a country most would say is nationalist, is not monocultural - it just moved the needle of what they claim is a culture (love of the land, obedience to the party, instead of language, color purity, ethnic roots) and embrace the fact they are diverse while trying to enforce an interface (mandarin). And, well, we're not an internationalist democracy by your definition but probably a multicultural dictatorship by your other definitions. And I think Japan is a lot less archetypal than you (and to be fair, communist propaganda too) think, as well.
Hey all!

I'm an indie ios/web developer and I build Hewell (pronounced the same as Huell (and a reference maybe some of you old-school PBS viewers may get).

I've wanted an app like this for a long time, but most travel guide apps have really high production values and consequently low coverage. Lots of apps can give you a bespoke experience in San Francisco, but few work well everywhere (custom voice over is expensive). Hewell bypasses all of that by leveraging the power of WikiData and Siri.

Hewell was originally dreamt up by a myself and a few friends at a happy hour ~2016, but I'd never gotten around to actually building it until last year during lockdown--which honestly wasn't a great time to launch a travel app. Now that things are opening back up and people are traveling again, hopefully Hewell will be more useful.

I know I would have loved an app like this when I was in Japan a few years back. I knew there was so much history all around me, and I probably missed a lot of it. That said I've found Hewell useful even at home. There's a lot of hidden treasures in major cities.

In the future I'd like to add a "Tour Mode" that can guide you along a route or recommend places to go while you're driving or walking.

If you like the app, please consider donating. If the app makes enough money I'd like to donate a sizable chunk of the revenue to the Wikimedia Foundation since they make Hewell possible.

Tcl is one of the most underrated programming languages. I have a friend who is working at Intel as tool development engineer (equivalent to software engineer), and Tcl is being used extensively at Intel for chip tooling and design since a very long time.

The modern version of Tcl will be great and a seamless integration with the OS shell will probably the killer niche application. Hopefully Oil Shell can modernize Tcl to some extent and incorporate the best features of Tcl with excellent OS shell integration capabilities.
Somewhat off topic, the very need for students to take notes during a math lecture seems completely idiotic to me, in this day an age when a professor could just share the link to the handout with their students. The margins should be wide enough for the students to be able to “personalize” the notes (they have to study them later anyway, don’t they?), or the notes could be distributed in the source format to begin with.

Interesting seeing similar trends in industrial Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) for industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA). Is there a set of standards that maritime navigation systems follow for abnormal situation management (i.e., alarming/notifications)?

ICS is trending towards ISA101 - which is a very grayscale screen for operator control with specific colors for various alarms, events, and notifications for operators.

An interesting difference between operating ships and industrial control systems - both huge pieces of complex machinery with interconnected systems - is that humans have been operating ships without electricity, screens, and standards bodies for millennia.

GDP growth of (actively) developing nations vs developed nations is not the best indicator here. Hard to compare.

Instead, compare China with India. Two huge developing nations with similar post-colonial timelines. But their post-2020 fortunes could not be more different. India was racked with the largest protests in human history last year, and then got hit hard by the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant. China contained COVID-19 spread and is politically very stable. What happened in the last 20 years? Simplification is that China took a hard nationalist route and sought to protect its sovereignty. See GFW. India remained very open.

Regarding Apple’s walled garden in macOS, I think this explanation from Asahi Linux sums the situation up to a good extent:

> The line on Apple Silicon Macs is when the alternate kernel image is booted, while SEP firmware remains closed - which is quite similar to the line on standard PCs, where the UEFI firmware boots the OS loader, while the ME/PSP firmware remains closed. In fact, mainstream x86 platforms are arguably more intrusive because the proprietary UEFI firmware is allowed to steal the main CPU from the OS at any time via SMM interrupts, which is not the case on Apple Silicon Macs.

That’s kinda the thing, no. I had no idea my friend had a compromised immune system until Covid and they stopped being able to go outside, had to go full time remote, got groceries delivered. We had to bring them some emergency cat food at one point.

They’re planning on benefiting from herd immunity at some point once the virus has been beaten back but while it’s still spreading like crazy they’re stuck. It’s the fact that Covid is so contagious that makes it such a PITA.

So to answer the question of how long, how ever long it takes for there to stop being so many new cases. It’s not forever.

I think it’s because the court is outside of the justice branch of government. Put another way, the courts aren’t sentencing people. They aren’t enforcing the laws on the books really either. They are outside of either.

Congress is really the party that needs to reign this in. They created this mechanism and the Supreme Court is basically confirming congresses right to do so.

The reality is your representative(s) are to blame.

BTW I’m not saying this is moral, justified, makes sense, w.e. I fully think congress should completely demolish the security state. I’d rather live in a world with risks than a world constructed to keep me a prisoner.
There are plenty of people in this boat 1 the so-called “dark matter” developers.

Indeed, China is unified ethnically -- basically 91% Han and extremely nationalistic. India is divided into a patchwork. Modi has been attempting to harness Hindu nationalism, but only recently and not nearly as effectively as China, which was strongly nationalistic from Mao. It was always a proud ethno-state fighting to develop to overcome the century of national humiliation.

In terms of comparing developing and developed, a CAGR of 0.8% is anemic by any standard, particularly when you have the world's premier R&D centers, rule of law, etc. It is just not the case that poorer nations grow faster than richer nations -- most poor nations do not experience catch up growth at all. That the East Asian nations managed to do it really is a miracle, and they did it on the back of nationalism. It's not to be expected, and it's not the typical experience of low and middle income nations:

The doc reads like it took a design team a day or so to come out with the new logo, then they handed it off to an MBA heavy group to retcon into something to justify the massive bill they wanted.
Here's an example of how even some of what was ridiculed the most around that time (the comparison to emojis) was eventually part of a massive (and probably successful, considering the number of different ads created) ad campaign from Pepsi.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19p9GjEMBQA
(A compilation of all the Pepsi emoji ad campaigns. There are many of them)

There isn't an exact one to one mapping of emojis to the logo variants as envisioned in the original design document, but there is a very clear connection drawn between the emojis and the logo, with nearly every ad ending with an emoji on the Pepsi bottle, almost immediately transitioning to the Pepsi logo, which would not have been possible if the logo did not evoke emojis the way the logo designer shows in their design document.

Heck, it's possible that the causation went the other way. The design brief did not require a connection to emojis, but rather, the logo design with its explicit connection to emojis led to the ad campaign, either directly, because the ad campaign creators looked at the doc, or indirectly, because the logo evoked thoughts of emojis. In any of those cases, that's a sign of an extremely successful logo, and logo creation thought process.

Some of the ideas may not have been as successful (such as the "theory of attraction" or the "Pepsi Galaxy", although the latter is fairly obvious considering the wide variety of products Pepsi makes), but making a lot of these, some far out there, connections is a necessary first step in some of them potentially being successful.

I was one of those who piled onto Pepsi over a decade ago on the interwebs for this logo, but it was a great lesson in humility, because the more I look back at it, the more I was clearly wrong.

Disagree. You view programming as an art, okay that's fine, but most of the time it's not an art. You want to know how to do something one way and then if you really care about what you're building, you research better ways of doing things and from understanding why certain ways are better you start building the blocks of the underlying concepts.

Building blocks from the ground up is great for schools, but is incredibly time consuming for learning the breadth of a tool.

A tragedy indeed. "A Tour of C++" by Stroustrup is an excellent counterexample. He explains the basics in Chapter 1, and then goes on to explain more advanced stuff all while avoiding the uncommon or ugly parts of the language.

When learning a new language I often search for its "A Tour of C++" or "Effective Java" equivalent, but they're not common.

The "In a Nutshell" series are a passable substitute.
