Internet was still new to most people in 2001, even computers were a novelty back then. So it is somewhat understandable that people had trouble understanding computers back then.

Today everyone is walking around with a mini computer in their pockets. It is less funny today than 2001, if someone doesn’t understand copying an image from the public internet
ITER is so far from a design for operation in space that making such an extrapolation from it is ridiculous.

Sorry but that’s bullshit.. they’re describing a basic power switch (even simpler than a PoE hat) which is nothing compared to the design complexity of an MCU board with memory, peripherals and chip level power conversion.
its really not as bad as people say. linux has same pretty reasonable standards that DEs all implement.

most things you need for a DE run as daemons.

the biggest pieces that cause problems are UI theming and application distribution. theming is less of an issue these days since applications just do their own thing anyways.
It'd be cool to see this without PGP. Signatures via signify/minisign are superior in every way.

You seem to forget the GPU, how may cores does that have? (but really the question is: isn't parallelism the default mode when working with GPUs.
I always assumed it just made more sense for France to go all in on nuclear since they didn’t have coal or oil and gas.

I don’t know how much of the problem is that the new reactors they’re trying to build are so much more complex or that after building as many as they needed, the 30 year gap in construction meant there was a loss of industrial knowledge of how to do it efficiently.
The best technical people aren't always the best to start a business. The goal is to make money not have perfect code.
Paid products can still do all the same datamining that advertisers do, and there are markets for buying/selling that info (eg. Palantir). The truth is that all forms of monetization are inherently at-odds with the user's interests. Paying for an app doesn't magically make this friction go away, and it certainly doesn't reduce the incentive for developers to abuse your trust.
This is probably the only thing a young, self-taught dev could do to impress me.

If you put some projects on your Github profile, I am going to assume that they are either crap or copy-pasted from somewhere else.

If you are self-taught and have no experience, I am going to assume you will struggle with even the most basic things.

But if you write on your resume "I've had two pull requests accepted to Syncthing" I'm definitely going to have a look!

Of course, making a contribution that is meaningful and will be accepted in an open source project is pretty difficult, but at least you'll learn a lot in the process.

I feel like this is misleading because it's not like 1 in 5 people who smoke are dropping dead from a deadly poison. More like after 30-60 years of daily tobacco use someone dies a few years before life expectancy of cancer and/or heart/lung disease.

It's an important distinction, because otherwise the danger of tobacco and culpability of tobacco companies are exaggerated. For many people a lifetime of pleasure from nicotine justifies the risk.
I use Google for those pretty often.
I actually disagree with this. I have a Telegram group where I talk amongst friends and I constantly find myself not caring about certain topics that I wish were in their own channel. With Discord I don't have to worry about that. I only discuss what I like to discuss in the relevant channels and if someone decides they wanna check it out, they can too. You can also set notifications per channel and completely mute the topics you don't care about.

I think this is more of a problem with organization. Too many channels can introduce some redundancy. For me this is especially relevant in the Unreal Slackers Discord. There are so many channels and some of the topics overlap, so sometimes I have a hard time picking which channel to message.
Corrected that line. Thanks!

It runs everywhere and uses keybindings available everywhere else. It’s not an IDE. Basically can take over all simple to medium editing tasks. i.e. a no-brainer.
I have found that KPIs are a useful addition to an OKR framework.

Objectives are usually big and ambitious, but need to be pinned down using Key Results. Key Results are the definition of success for an Objective.

However, it’s often the case that there are many ‘numbers’ that affect the Key Results. In advance it is very difficult to know which combination of such metrics is the right one to target.

For example, if a KR is to increase sales from £70k to £100k of product X, you can break this down into various other KPIs - traffic, inquiries, conversion rate, AOV etc

In many cases these metrics can’t be hard coded into a KR, as the sweet spot for the business is unknown - and ultimately we don’t care which combination brings us to hit our KR.

So KPIs allow us to play with the next layer down from KRs, setting and revising targets for the constituent numbers that ultimately drive a KR.

Note: KRs should not change frequently, but KPIs can - with testing, iteration, and new information.

Draw that nice red slide all the way to the right. No, it's not storage. Yeah, it's actually affordable. Yeah, that was a sexual sound you just made.

You do have to be prepared to know some basic sysadmin, or pay somebody to do it for you. My newest server has about 60 cores and half a tera of ram. Surprisingly, it's not uber sharp - I went with high core count so individual queries actually got slower for about 20%. But that load... you can't even tell if the cpu load gauge is working. I can't wait to fill it up :D Maybe this black friday season I'll get it to 10%.
Their "broad popularity" only ever existed in the context of US FPTP election, in the context of a two-party system. If Americans had the option to vote for e.g. greens or labour or fiscal but-not-social conservatives, neither Obama nor Trump would be as popular. But Americans don't have such options, because even though some of them are right there on the ballot, voting for anyone but the two major parties under FPTP is literally throwing your vote away.

And it's not any different in primaries. Primaries are also FPTP, with all the same mechanics. The notion that you're better off voting your heart in primaries without consideration for all the standard FPTP mechanics making your vote useless is just another lie to make Americans feel better about their broken system, and is not backed by any math.

Kudos for being open about your mistakes.

Could you share a little bit about what your thought process was in general when picking a database technology?

You call out "easy migrations and database branches" outweighing other quirks, so some pros and cons weighing must've happened :)

Is it easy, for example, to test things in your dev environment with realistic amounts of data, and to get an understanding of how the queries will execute, etc? These seem somewhat basic, and would've probably caught this (also kinda basic, sorry :) problem early. (As in discovering "why is this query that should be a few ms with an index lookup taking so long?" early on)
And the (upcoming) Android app support, for double irony.

I think it’s worth considering that maybe Americans are just bad at things that require centralized solutions (trains) as compared to things that can be decentralized (cars).

I do not know if this was also true in USA, but in many European countries, more than one hundred years ago, but still also when I was a child, in the rural areas people used to set their clocks at the correct hour when they heard the train passing.

For some reason, unlike in the old times and despite the advanced technology that we have now, wide variations in the train arrival times have become common in many countries, even if not so extreme as in USA. (Even in Germany, which in the past had a reputation for punctuality.)

Perhaps the train companies have become too greedy and they no longer allocate the appropriate funds for maintenance, like in the old times.

Org-mode. Capturing whatever into the appropriate note is wonderful. These days about 80% of the time my answer to why Emacs is org-mode. Not that there aren't other great note taking options, but I've yet to find one that integrates so fully with, well, everything.

For all the doubters, I was right there with you 6 months ago. Who cares about yet another markdown clone am I right? Perhaps someone else can explain better, but in my case no amount of explanation really helped, I didn't get it until I did it.
And its friend, "git rebase -i --autosq" for when you knew at commit time that you needed to fold a fix into an earlier commit, by setting the commit message as "fixup! cafebabedeadbeef" or "fixup! the old commit message" (but I have less experience with the latter form)
> there are markets for buying/selling that info (eg. Palantir)

A major reason for these markets is that the information can be used for advertising or marketing targeting. In a world where the majority of products/services are paid and the amount of advertising is significantly reduced there will be much less demand for this information, leading to lower prices and even lower payoff from selling this information, not to mention potential legal risks (GDPR, CCPA, etc).
Let me understand please. These people are selling a commercial product and their team has no idea whatsoever of what an index is? And this is news?
Discord is a social media gaming program, it tracks what games you're playing so it can prompt your friends to join you in the game. It's not an Office Slack replacement which is also spyware, it's a gaming chat which grew out into being used by FOSS projects partly because it's so good cross-platform and partly because of IRC's gradual decline. You can see it happening in the always-on user list on the side which shows people are "Playing $Game" in their status. It also changes your status, visible in the client, I think.

Wacom tablets are a local computer input device. They have no business tracking or uploading anything in normal use, and you have no expectation or way to notice that it's happening.

All of your chat is sent to, and archived by, Discord, forever. That's annoying but server-central-not-encrypted-chat is their product. If I found all of my Discord chat messsages were being copied and uploaded to Wacom and archived forever, by a Wacom driver/app, I'd be incensed.

It's easy to view every move Apple makes through the lens of money.

Their platform is locked down so that nobody can carve out their own turf. No custom browsers with modern web features. No runtimes. Apple's rules and taxes, or you're banned.

I've never been afraid of batteries compromising my system. Or new screens. Apple wants the extremely lucrative device repair market, and this is how they get it. Screens are the most common and expensive part to replace.

I am, however, afraid of my device reporting files that the government doesn't like. The Russian FSB is salivating at Apple's new device spying "CSAM" capabilities. Apple built this system to satisfy totalitarian regimes so they could still sell their devices. It turns their entire platform into a dragnet so that intelligence knows exactly who to target. The FBI probably put pressure on the DOJ for these same capabilities too. Apple is deathly afraid of antitrust breaking up their gravy train and would bow to pressure.

This is about money. Apple wants it all. They need extreme growth to justify their stock price and future outlook.

Everything is about money to Apple.
You can avoid snaps and flatpack with Linux Mint or Debian. They still support them but their repos have had everything I need without using snaps or flatpack.

Metaverses are less fundamental than the internet, and there's no need for there to be exactly one of them (other than lucrative proprietary lock-in, anyway). Metaverses are application-level concerns, and will be built on top of the existing internet infrastructure. In the same way that a web browser is a portal to HTTP content, a metaverse application will be a portal to whatever application-level protocols arise to support them.
To my understanding, it's trivial. AFAIK, LTE even allows you to be positionally tracked via signal strength and position relative to the tower, no triangulation needed. I've also seen some evidence that new Wifi standards will also allow for this, which is utterly terrifying.

Language, or the beginnings of it, is probably older than bread. But bread in its simplest form is not complex at all, I feel like you could hypothetically teach it to an early hominid without language. Just pound something starchy into a paste, maybe add some water and work it into a dough and cook it on some rocks.
I think it's fine for the article to have a focus, profitability in this case. It's an interesting thought experiment after seeing how many people profit at each stage in the tobacco supply chain to then consider how pervasive tobacco was despite all the downsides.

Smokers pay more for healthcare, at least in the US. That's an internalized cost, not an externality.
In London on the main lines out of the main termini it's usually 4 tracks abreast with commuter services + stopping services taking one pair of tracks and express + intercity services taking the other pair for in and outbound services. High speed railways (greater than 250 km/h (155 mph)) are a different story usually running on bespoke track.

Is that not the case in the Northeast Corridor?
> It does not cost the users anything.

It does: Try creating a a local account on the Home version! You can't. You must create a Microsoft account which ties you Microsoft. You may not be physically handing over $ but you are using their ecosystem. Your actions are now recorded, categorized, analysed and then M$ make more money from them.

There is no way in hell they will give you an OS for $0 unless there is a way to make money from you. None.

Look, I'm not being cynical or negative about it! I'm just putting it in perspective. If people wanna do it then go for it. It's not for me.

This isn't just a Microsoft thing, companies that give you something for nothing are making money from you somehow! Or else they won't be around long.
