Not a massive fan of Blueprints, as a game developer who is also a long time software developer/security engineer. I think for non-coders it's a great system and can be helpful to view data flow/execution paths in a visual way. I wish the C++ and blueprints systems where better integrated. For example being able to generate one from the other or directly import and use each other (you can sorta do that but with limited access and some boiler plate). I'm not disparaging it, it is really a great attempt at visual coding but as a developer it's not a setup I'd choose to use pretty much ever. For me the best use would be for a non-coder game designer to use it to script levels and for me to integrate seemlessly from C++ as a dev and since I'm a single person indie dev it's of less use to me. It doesn't seem quite ready for that. Most games and examples I've seen with it are either blueprints or C++ not a lot of mixing yet that I've seen, though there is certainly some.

> many companies have already told their employees that if you choose to go remote to a Lower cost of living state your salary will be adjusted to reflect that.

But at the same time, that makes the company vulnerable to the employee seek another company that will allow the remote work with a better compensation. Unless the ceos get together and conspire to suppress wages like they have done in the past, it is really uncertain how the workforce landscape will shape itself in the near future.
To take this further... To mean anything, this guarantee needs to apply unconditionally and forever. Even in 50 years... Even when the manufacturer is bankrupt.

To do that, There could be a "Will Work Guarantee" organisation. The organisation will administer refunds to all customers with claims, (and combat fraud). Companies who want to be members of the scheme must pay into the scheme to cover payouts for their own products, plus a deposit for future failures of their products if they go bankrupt.
That's not solvable as stated. I think you may have accidentally misstated the question.

> 100 ants are spaced evenly on a 1m stick

Are the ends at the end of the line of evenly spaced ants on the very ends of the stick?

> They travel at 1m/minute.

Is each ant initially traveling? What is the initial travel direction of each traveling ant?

This matters because if the ants are all traveling in initially traveling then (assuming maximal even initial spacing) it would take 1 minute for the last ant to fall off, but if each ant were initially traveling towards the nearest end it would take about 1/2 minute.

Googling, I found almost the same problem except that the question asked was what is the minimum time that guarantees all ants will have fallen off no matter what their initial directions are.

In general I wouldn't expect US manufacturing to do a lot to lower production costs. More capacity in general obviously helps, and I could definitely see the US doing a lot to subsidize domestic production, if that counts as bringing down the costs.

Maybe higher wages will lead to more automation.
If you're trying to explain anything new you need to be able to it in many different levels of detail.

You need to describe the pain you relieve in a sentence. For one venture I was involved, "Get the Government Off My Back" was the slogan. Not to overthrow or deprecate the government but to give Caesar what is Caesar's and be done with it.

You need to process and reprocess your material until you have a deck, not just to communicate with VC's but also to communicate with customers, vendors, potential employees, etc.

The #1 fear I have with any A.I. venture is that the solution will reach some certain level of accuracy which is not good enough and won't get past it. I think of all the flying machines people made before the Wright brothers, who were the first people to understand that you have to control roll, pitch and yaw or else you'll tumble. You've got to have a realistic plan to solve all the problems on the way to product-market fit and have that reflected in a deck.
Edit the idea64.vmoptions config file and use the GC of your choice. I've been running with ShenandoahGC for quite some time now and it's been working great.

You'd think that, but apparently retail customers get better prices because market makers are more likely to lose money trading against a professional who knows something is coming, and the smaller spread from lower risk for them is enough to pay for the business model. They still make money on the spread but it's lower.

It's a bit weird that it works that way, but there is a logic to it. Price discrimination can work in your favor.

(And having gotten many literally free lunches from an employer, there is no harm to it if you know why they do it.)
IPv4 isn't an "investment" for Amazon. They didn't buy them up with the hope that the price will increase and they'll make a profit. They buy more IPv4 addresses because they need those addresses to continue serving customers. They will likely never, ever sell those IPv4 addresses.

And what's more, they will need to continue to buy more IPv4 addresses as they grow and their customers needs for address space grow. Amazon actually has an incentive for IPv4 to become less expensive so that further purchases of addresses are less costly to their business. And the best two ways to do that are: 1) encourage adoption to IPv6 so that IPv4 becomes less expensive and 2) encourage adoption of IPv6 so that Amazon needs to buy less IPv4 addresses.
Remember, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
This will cause WWIII so yes we will need chips in that scenario. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
That same logic also applies to automobiles. You must be licensed to drive, yet accidents happen daily/hourly accross the country. Fatal accidents are frequent. Laws will not save you 100% of the time. Your logic is flawed on the ridiculous side.
In a world without the concentration of development to venture capital-backed tech firms, semantic models of data create a web of rich APIs and data that are interlinked and that can grow and evolve.

You have schemas for representing people that you can download as contacts. Schemas for representing articles that can be linked to people. Schemas for comments and upvotes... Fully distributed Facebook / Reddit / Twitter that anyone could extend.

Venture-backed startups grew faster than the Semantic Web. That's the reason it didn't materialize.
If they were doing conversions manually, I suspect such a major encoding error would have shown up quite quickly. It's bound to cause errors when a file is unopenable in a lot of programs that can't handle non-unicode (heck, Microsoft's own VS code can't handle them).

I doubt even really old NT programs (pre 2000) using UCS-2 would have included unpaired surrogates because IIRC those code points were never mapped to actual characters so I don't think that's an issue in practice.

Yep, similar story here. I have a couple dozen ZWave switches and other devices in my house which have worked great for a few years now. I use Home Assistant with a USB ZWave radio. I've broken it a couple times while fiddling with it, but it has never broken on its own.

I do have a few wifi devices for cases where there is no good ZWave option (or the wifi options are just better, like the OpenGarage garage door controller).

I really enjoy being able to double tap the "off" position of the switch in our bedroom when we turn in for the night and have it do all the things (thermostats turned down, doors locked, garage doors closed, lights off, etc). Once that script finishes it triggers a verification script that double checks the status of all other devices and sends a push notification to our phones confirming everything was done.
I would agree, but I don't think you'd find Ayn Rand in the average modern school library. Or a book that supports Trump, or a book that talks about socialism in an unflattering light. Remember that even the benign Dr. Seuss had books removed from school libraries.

There's plenty of books that are already unofficially banned.
I don't see how this is bad.

When I think about this, I think about how Apple stole the music industry for awhile.

The RIAA was tossing lawsuits left and right to try to stem the tide of piracy. Companies tried to build up digital marketplaces, but the studios and labels owned the rights and didn't want to play ball. And most of the companies shot themselves in the foot by also not playing ball; after all, the RIAA was wrong, they were dinosaurs, they didn't understand tech and their demands were anachronistic nonsense.

Along came Apple, and they basically sat down with the RIAA and did nothing but play ball. Exclusive deals? Got it. Our best cryptography folks working on a cipher algorithm to keep your music "secure" on a device someone else owns? Yes, we'll tell you we can do that and invest time and money into making it plausibly true. A revenue-sharing agreement so lopsided it would make a used car salesman blush? Here's our vein; open us up and leave us with as much as you think we need.

And that lasted for a couple years. Then Apple unilaterally announced they were dropping the encryption. It was, after all, a pain in the ass for end-users.

And the RIAA screamed.

And Apple just stared them down and said "You killed all the alternatives. Where else but iTunes will you go? You can't even go back to CDs; customers liked digital so much they stopped buying them and the machines that play them."

And for a brief period, Apple became de-facto owners of music distribution overnight by simply giving the previous owners everything they thought they wanted.
FYI, the reason I posted this is that Ethiopia has been the poster-boy for successful development and GDP growth in Africa, and now this appears to be threatened by a tiny insurgency - Tigray People’s Liberation Front - that appears unstoppable as it marches on the capital. Tigray is this tiny region that nevertheless provided Ethiopia with three decades of corrupt rule. Now there are remnants of Tigray people hiding for fear in the capital while the government desperately marshals the army against them, but the rebels keep advancing.

There is, unfortunately, a general dearth of news about developments in Africa; it would be interesting to know if there are any Ethiopian readers who might provide their own perspective on this.

Aren’t most of these actually “wash sales” paid in funny money by sellers pumping up the prices? If not, there are many more crazy people in this world than I hoped.
But, they are, in some instances, calling for the removal of some of these books from school libraries. I would qualify that as "book burning" (dramatically, metaphorically); its similar to the argument that school lunches have to be healthy, because in unfortunately-to-many cases it may be the only meal that student gets today.

Additionally, as you point out of the gulf between this and 1940s Germany, I will point out the gulf between "flat earther science" and "books on critical race theory, LGBTQ studies, and The Hunger Games". That's a strawman. Curriculum time is a limited resource, absolutely, so some concessions have to be made; we should be skeptical when those concessions are politically, religiously, or ideologically motivated, rather than academically, scientifically, artistically, or societally. Even with a title like the Hunger Games (or Harry Potter, which lest anyone forget was also very contentious with the Religious Right upon its release, due to concerns about kids studying witchcraft); sure, its not exactly Gödel, Escher, Bach; but its still reading! Do you know how rare reading is, especially among our children who have spent their entire lives connected to the internet, having instant access to the latest dopamine-inducing content on Tik Tok? Any book which can capture their interest, and maybe open a door to a more critical and insightful fifth, sixth, and seventh book, should be in consideration.

Biblical professor Bart Ehrman has written many books about how the bible was put together. The Comma Johanneum, the most explicit reference to the doctrine of the trinity is not found in the original Greek (or in early non-Latin translations) until Erasmus was pressured (against his desire) to include it in his Greek Bible in 1522.

Also, the first gospel written is thought to be Mark. In the King James Bible, Catholic translations etc. Jesus is seen resurrected by the apostles and others. This does not happen in the earliest versions of Mark.

There are lots of things like this, Ehrman goes into many of them.
Awesome! Would love to know what you think :)
I don't understand your argument. When we're comparing "overall death rate in a world without COVID" to "death rate in a world with COVID", we're looking at the same population. We don't need to adjust for age if we're looking at the same population.

This kind of misconception is so common it even has its own name: Simpson's paradox. It's laughable to think that the vaccinated population, compared to unvaccinated, is dying at the rate suggested by these numbers and no one is ringing the alarm.

Despite the developer pushback, I believe remote IDEs will be the standard in 5-10 years. There are many benefits to provide a standartised developer environment for productivity as well security point of view.
I am still amazed by the shortsightedness of how these critical and strategic goods are off-shore. No wonder why the supply chains are fragile and not robust. It should be illegal for strategic goods and components such as chips and semiconductors to be produced offshore. Yes, it will raise prices in the short and medium-term, but it will make the domestic economy and manufacturing sector more robust, resilient to supply shocks, and antifragile.

We need a true industrial policy and state capitalist system similar to what Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore have.
I said state and federal: "Considering federal, state, and local funding, almost all states allocate more per-student funding to poor kids than to nonpoor kids, though only a few—Alaska, New Jersey, and Ohio—are highly progressive. A handful—Nevada, Wyoming, and Illinois—are weakly regressive, and the majority have a weakly progressive distribution of funding to poor versus nonpoor students."

I agree. Even more: I saw vim users who manually edited dozens of files which could be done by running inspection by name on the entire project in IntelliJ. Even (questionably) superior text editing capabilities of vim won’t help here.

I think many vim/emacs users are not aware of the functionality of modern IDEs and development speed is mostly defined by text editing speed. Sadly, many users of sophisticated IDEs also are not using these functions, so the experienced vim user will likely be more performant than inexperienced IDE user.

> I don't think many people want to move to Texas, for instance abortion is illegal in the state. I doubt people want to move back to the 1950s, certainly not startup people, who tend to be more progressive. I personally would never want to move to Texas.

I’m guessing you’re European based on your business. Do you live in the US?

I’m guessing you don’t know many people who live in Texas, especially Austin. Startup people and companies are flocking to Austin.

Texas politics are weird because the Republicans have gerrymandered the state to a comical level. It’s allowed to persist because none of the bodies that can serve as a check and balance are doing any checking or balancing (failure of US democracy, imho).

I would not consider what is happening there representative of Texas as a whole, and especially not representative of Austin. The overall feeling of the state is moderate with a wide range of perspectives (like most populous states). The elites, however, are very conservative.

A change in Texas politics/politicians will come at some point, and when it comes, it will be swift. I am not convinced that the politicians in Texas are particularly representative of the people, but they are highly representative of the special interests of the state.

While I do think that attitudes towards remote work have fundamentally changed, it'll be interesting to see how things shake out over the next 5-10 years. I suspect that as people start to go into the office more, there will be pressure to do so for your career to advance, in many fields. If your boss's boss works in the office, who is more likely to get a promotion, the person that works from home or the person who goes in and eats lunch with them once a week? In an ideal world, the answer would be "the one who does better work", but we don't live an ideal world.
