So what is left for Ghibli?

On one hand, it is one of the few studios whose name is a quality stamp in and by itself. But unlike Disney and Pixar it doesn't seem like they've managed to foster or acquire talent to continue the studio.

Who is left to continue the legacy?

- Hayao Miyazaki is 80, and likely won't be able to make more movies after this one.

- Isao Takahata (Only yesterday, Yamadas and Kaguya Hime) has passed away.

- Yoshifumi Kondo (whisper of the heart) was set to be a new generation for Ghibli, but tragically died in the late 90s.

- Hiromasa Yonebayashi (When Marnie was there, Arietty) left and started his own Studio.

And then there is Goro Miyazaki, who I think is being overly harshly criticized. I didn't enjoy Earthsea, but its not like other directors don't have misses in their early career[1]. I haven't seen Ronja, but I've heard good things about it and Up on Poppy Hill is as great as any Ghibli film. Earwig and the Witch doesn't look all that great, but it is a strait-to-tv movie being released in cinema. But even so, that isn't a strong contender for continuing Ghibli.

So what is left? Is the studio gonna die out?

> They steal it from those outside the union by constraining the the supply of labor.

Can you explain how this works? In Europe Unions just represent the rights of those the Employer chose to hire. The employees are not required to be members of a Union, and usually they won't join until they have already started working.
Agree. With no surprise, managing windows is Windows’ strong suit, and macOS really sucks at it. Rectangle makes it a lot more bearable.
I have not used it, but my understanding is that BigQuery Omni is "BigQuery running on AWS/Azure". My understanding is that they are running Anthos on AWS (managed by Google) and they offer BigQuery as a service from that AWS infra managed by Google.

I'm using a Librem 5 with PureOS as my daily driver. I can even run the Android app of my bank there, although I have to admit that this part can be wonky (but to be honest, that's not a big deal to me). Before that, I'd been using Nokia N900 for many years after switching from Openmoko Neo Freerunner, which I'd been using for something around 2 or 3 years. Actually, I still keep my N900 around as a backup.

I remember when postmarketOS has been created, but that was already pretty late in my book :) You completely forget about earlier porting pioneers, such as SHR that worked on devices like HTC Dream, Nexus S or Palm Pre (and GTA01/02/04, obviously); or even projects that predate my personal involvement, like OpenEZX. We've seen it happening multiple times by now, so there's a lot of insight to take from that already.

> had other running phones way before like the Nexus 5

It is pretty clear that you haven't actually used pmOS back then (2017-18), as none of the supported devices could even do phone calls there, and that was far from the only missing basic feature. Which DE would you even run on it for daily usage, Hildon? ;) It sure was an amazing project with a lot of promise already, but absolutely nowhere near being actually usable (aside of some PDA-like use cases). Back then the only linuxy OS that you could actually use on some real-world devices (not counting proprietary ones like Sailfish or already obsolete ones like SHR) was Ubuntu Touch, which was pretty far from the regular desktop architecture (still is and doesn't intend to change that) that's pitched by distros like pmOS, PureOS or Mobian. Things started to move with the advent of Librem 5 (2018) and PinePhone (2020), thanks to Purism investing resources into creating phosh and maintaining supporting infrastructure in GNOME, and Plasma Mobile experiencing an influx of new developers and moving away from Hybris when PinePhone started to become widely available. That work is now directly consumed by ports of pmOS to other devices as well.

> what evidence is there they didn’t just drain resources from other projects

So, considering all I said above - which other projects? Distros like postmarketOS have been fueled by L5 and PP, not drained. Work on mobile GNOME has been paid for with Librem 5's price. Plasma Mobile was a tech demo until more people started to hack it on the PinePhone. This should be evident to anyone who actually watched that space unfold across the last 15 years. These days we can even start hoping for working phone calls on ported devices like OnePlus 6T, but where do you think the ModemManager code to handle phone calls actually came from? ;]
No, the problem is all this activism for entrenching remote work. I'll be much happier when it dies down again. I'm quite happy that my employer is implementing pay reductions for people who move away and make themselves harder to collaborate with.

It's surprising how acclimatized people are to bad hiring practices that good treatment seems fishy.

We at UpSkillie, help companies hire engineers by certifying with a round of interviews. Candidates win because now they get someone vouching for them past the gatekeepers.

For a 1yr experience developer, one of our client just took a single round of interview after our recommendation and made an offer the same day, the exact amount the candidate wanted.

The candidate didn't join this company this company because he felt the HR process wasn't streamlined as he got an offer in just one interview. He settled for a 20% lower offer.

We asked him that if he wishes we can set a meeting with leadership if he wanted. But he just didn't feel it right because the process was fast.

There was proper introduction before the technical interview, so there is no chance of lack of familiarisation.
For 1 and 2 it doesn't say they have to be public figures, just that it's in the public interest.
Cheapest fuel combinations from a logistics perspective, accounting for cost factors affecting shipping, handling, complexity of handling in the fuelling operations and storage inside the rocket, and cost impact on the rocket motor itself. Based on the "outsider analysis" that I performed a couple of years ago as a non-"aerospace engineer" who's way to interested in rocket engines. Leads to this:

- Toxic -> Red Fuming Nitric Acid (RFNA) and pretty much any mix of liquid hydrocarbons of molecular weight / distillation fraction between Diesel and Kerosene (probably more generous than that)

- Non Toxic -> Nitrous Oxide and Propane.

This is of course not factoring in the price to performance ratio of the fuel choice which is why many rockets chose other combinations. This sort of math really only applies when you start thinking about things like "how expensive would it be to fuel a sea dragon sized rocket".

You keep trying to distract us from the subject. It won't work.

There is no practical difference, in China, between corruption and failing to follow party orders.

US elite are, as a rule, never so much as mentioned in the news, nor do they go to jail, never mind get disappeared. Thus, the US elite is overwhelmingly more secure than anyone in China, howsoever well placed. They have little to fear from TV chatter, but seem, by the evidence, entirely able to keep it tamped down to a minimum, except where they instead cultivate it.
If you look at the rest of Tanner Greer's blog, you would quickly learn that he has read a lot of other material about China, and has also spent time on the ground there.

>"Nur Bares ist Wahres"...and it's true. With cash you have full control of the money

Well nobody said cash payments should be banned, but it sucks when cash is the only way to pay in some places, meaning I always have to carry a bulky wallet filled with banknotes and coins just in case the bar, restaurant, shop, cafe, deli, parking meter or whatever, does not accept digital payments.

I also used cash for buying greens since that's not yet legalized, but for everything else that's been legal for over 100 years already, please accept digital payments.

Wifi adapters are cheap and everywhere. For 5G tot surpass wifi it will have to match that. Laptops with 5G are not that common yet. ESP like controllers with 5G I haven't seen yet.
One of the advantages is 5G operating outside of the ISM bands. That helps a lot with stability and preventing interference. It also means this is not for individuals in their home. If licensing is made so accessible that people at home can use it you will again get overlapping frequency use and increasing interference. If it not made this accessible I don't see the availability of cheap clients solved because the market will be limited.

The parent post used the number of papers at the top conferences in their respectives fields.

It means they are unquestionably pushing the state of art fowards. Or the system is completely broken.

I see your point though. This is a recurrent discussion.

I think the change of paradigm was positive. Nowadays, papers are published in interactive and incremental way, instead of, doing a parallel with software engineering, with the waterfall methodology.

Publising the research incrementally allows more people to get involved, create more branches, and spot errors earlier.

In sofware developement, the change of the process lead to huge advanvements. I believe this is also true for academia.
i am old emacs user, ~25 year old experience, and will be using this.. I find it more clear than reading thru this than "C-h i"

good work whoever did that
i've never been in such high demand _and_ cared at the same time what would happen if it just really sucked -- i'd just quit.

but interviewers can be just as good of liars as interviewees -- so you could, if you're talking to a fellow employee -- just go for it -- be direct -- maybe catch someone off-guard or find someone wanting/willing to vent a bit on the low, "Do you like working here? How would you compare it to your favorite job? Was it what you expected?" -- things like that.

i've asked those types of things in the past, but mainly to look interested, so not sure what the answers were. :-/

but if the answer is anything but, "This place really truly rocks, you should work here, you will like it a lot, i'll show you the ropes, etc." -- then they prob hate it.

and/or they hate you.

at my most recent gig, that i quit after about three months, i did get at least one "It wasn't my dream (to work here doing this kind of shit), but..."

the prob should have been a sign.

but part of my thinking was, well, if it's ass, i'll have plenty of time/energy to work on my side projects.

but it was just awful.
Trust me, I've had to work from client sites for weeks at a time on less than a day's notice, take multi-hour hair-on-fire support calls at 3 in the morning from on-site engineers 12 time zones away, and take over productions systems from international teams with zero continuity. I understand! All of these things are terrible to experience, but enforced remote work normalized many of them. The best work environment is working in close proximity with other people who are all in the same time zone as you, who can tell by looking at you that you're too busy to bother at the moment.
Cash is far less secure. There’s no transaction history, it’s easy to lose, easy to damage and difficult to exchange.

People forget the only thing that is important is the exchange not the material used to do so. It’s all promises at the end of the day.

Big copyright holders hold a lot of political power in France. That's why France has been one of the country in the E.U fighting the most against piracy and taxing pretty much everything you can store music file on (we used to buy blank CD/DVD in germany or spain because they where close to 10 time cheaper).

The three strike / hadopi bullshit was clearly a political move to satisfy the biggest copyright holder, a lot of it was completely unenforceable and even unconstitutional from the start. In the end, very few people even got to the third strike, and they couldn't even do what they "promised" (forbidding the person from having an internet connection) and had to go through costly court procedure just to give fines in the end. It was just a machine to burn public money for the miniscule benefit of a few. It died very fast because nobody wanted to try to make this bullshit actually work and burn even more money when they have to get re-elected.

Any state that wants to build digital competency needs to use FOSS. You want people to learn the intricacies of systems to be in control of your infrastructure. That China has its own Linux distribution (the name red flag linux never fails to put a smile on my face) is a testament to proactive thinking.

China is also an authoritarian surveillance state. Sadly western nations only mirror the surveillance part, not the digital competency one. If you put a number on the costs of these surveillance ambitions, it probably is in the magnitude of whole generations that put their back on political engagement in any form. All that is left are true believers in ultimate state authority.

For China it works because they can attest a lot of growth, people feel their lives are turning to the better. I guess at some point they will demand freedom too, although that may be a process that also takes generations.

When my late father died a few years ago I found several books from his school library during the clearout. Probably "only" about half the tally of the book in the article. I returned them to the school with a note asking them to overlook any "trifling late fees" and got a very nice letter back asking for a few details of him for the school magazine.

I don't know if he kept them intentionally or not, but I do have a scales weight on my desk serving as a paperweight that he told me he stole from his first job at a bank. It's for weighing 100 sovereigns (gold coins). I think of him every time I notice it.

IF Inditer Pro had 90% success rate, it would actually substantially solve (wrongly) a problem, and that would again disqualify it from being web 4.0.

The actual success rate would probably be - by design - around 59-62%, high enough to be better than flipping a coin in preliminary controlled studies and allowing yearly improvements (I beg your pardon, I meant OTA updates) of 1-2%, so that the company would have guaranteed income for the next 20 years or so.

Oh god, working with an offshore team in India... one of the least productive projects in my life. I think they were all brought in by their lead Suresh, who they all relied on to run interference for them.

Target the new API? Talk to Suresh. Follow up on how an issue was resolved? Talk to Suresh. Ask someone on the team a question? Not without Suresh in the room.

And then Suresh would throw a ton of obstructions in your path. New API? We will require multiple days of in-person training. Issue not resolved satisfactorily? Let's do multiple rounds of revisions on a new triage protocol. Schedule a call with Suresh? He'll be free in 2-3 days.

Anything, absolutely anything at all having to do with interacting with the offshore team took a least a week.
