It makes a certain kind of sense. The marketing for these products has always revolved around denigrating software emulators as total, inaccurate trash, which is completely unfair for a lot of reasons (byuu used to have a great blog post about it but I think it is gone). But of course, you've gotta convince people they "need" to spend hundreds of dollars on emulation when it's available for free otherwise. Turns out they took the message to heart.
Technically anything is "possible" -- but what does the Bayesian weight of evidence say at this point?
I think it’s worth attacking some of these adages. At scale, good execution is not enough when saturation is in play. You are the n-th YouTuber, the n-th influencer, SaaS, developer, etc. I’d argue that at scale there are a host of other critical parameters that determine things (luck for one, a unique angle on things (which requires great ideas)). Execution isn’t nearly enough now days.

But anyways, the old adage sounds good I guess.
of course, everyone has a number - but also, for that money you'll just hire a consultant and will probably come out ahead.
In the spirit of several projects mentioned here, this is an NLP-based RSS feed generator I put up recently- it takes a news story as a search parameter and it creates a latest, related story feed from it.

As little writing as possible anyways. I end up giving titles to events, but that's about it.

Just the facts news would be interesting, the practical problem is it would also be labor intensive - since you end up needing to write your own (short) article for every story, and understanding the story well enough to do a good job at that. I sort of hope that my site is the 80/20 version of that for people looking for that, by approximating it without actually doing it. Or maybe it could be a useful source of facts for someone who did want to make a news site that did that.
As a retro gaming enthusiast, I kinda agree. FPGA emulation is still emulation and can suffer from inaccuracy just as much as software emulation does while having a lot more limitations. It can provide lower latencies and better power efficiencies, so it isn't worthless, but its a set of tradeoffs that don't make a lot of sense to me especially when you're using original media instead. Not to mention that used GB/GBC/GBA/GG are all available for a lot less than the Analogue Pocket if you're looking for an authentic experience, and if you're not then software emulation provides a lot more flexibility.
Wonder if the same will hold for books?

If you have any interest in compiling 32-bit applications, you'll need to downgrade or set up another machine with High Sierra. Mojave will still run 32-bit applications with a warning, but it can not build for i386, will build only for x86_64.

I think it depends on your job. As someone working I operations I contantly feel that business and developers are pushing solution far beyond what can safely supported. With stuff like Docker, Kubernetes and DevOps, developers have failed to understand that much of the security responsibility have shifted from Ops to Dev. Did I patch the OS? Yes, of cause. Did you update your container in the last few months? If not, then why the F… does it matter if I patched the OS?

On the other hand my colleguaes who look for hackers, do forensics and help customer who are/have been attacked are having the time of their life. Rarely do you see people as excited about their works as these guys during this weekend.
The yearly average global temperature is moving slowly (but at increasing speed. we are increasing emissions, old emissions accumulate for centuries, and we are already triggering positive feedback loops).

Extreme weather is not, both in severity and in frequency. Doing big averages from a far, safe distance hide you the fact that is not so safe at local level, and the increase frequency turns every place into a dangerous to be one eventually.

Sea rises slowly in average, but still there was plenty of floods this very year. You don't have to wait till the ocean catches you, an atmospheric river could ruin your life too.
It's certainly "better" (and I do like it), but it needs an editor. Takes too long to say its thing.

Agreed, anything without a pricing page is an immediate no for me. Looked for pricing, did not see it. Closed page.

I don't care at all about anything else, as soon as the pricing page is hidden means it's not affordable to me.

We are only at a point of no returns in terms of continuing as-is. We won't need to dump anything into the atmosphere, the Earth will clean itself given time and opportunity. I think the mostly like outcome is that in the next 100 years we will start to see massive and more severe droughts and flood. Water will become the most valuable resource and that will affect the ability to provide food. There will be massive famine because the rich countries will hoard while the poor ones starve (exponentially more so than today). I think that in 100 years the population of the Earth will be less than 2 billion and trending down. Eventually the Earth will recover just fine, it will just take 5,000 years.

Any talk of going to Mars is just silly click bait. If we had to, we have the technology to support several million people completely underground, growing food via hydroponics. The Earth isn't going to 0 population outside of an asteroid or nuclear event of major proportions.
Web2.0 was scam. Basically catching and selling people and communities.

I had GeoCities page as well. But it was crap with frames, tables and injected ad banners provided by hosting.

Then there were more banners. Maybe not tracking as much. And pop-ups and pop-up blockers. (Pop-ups are back on the menu with 'subscribe!' and 'let as track you'.)

Java applets. Not sure what they were all about - never really loaded. Then Flash - sometimes fun sometimes pain.

Then there was phpBB where post signatures were bigger then actual content of the post. Reading it was mess.

What I actually liked were local custom servers inspired by BBS. Like cyberspace.cz, nyx.cz, kyberia.sk ...

But even there people complained about 'lost spirit' with more and more users coming.

It was interesting exploring niche topics, meeting new people (and some of the even later IRL).

I could join the Mastodon and maybe try it again. But I'm older, grumpier, not really motivated. Just scrolling to death.

Not to be a downer again but reddit is pretty much dead for this. It's turning into FB more and more every day with a lot of young kids and teenagers filling it with memes and begging for engagement and such. It's not much of an aggregator anymore and is turning into more of an actual social network now except they still have "anonymous" profiles

I guess it's what the people running it want but I find myself going there less and less every day and only look at a few curated subs
Please don't perpetuate they myth of energy prices being the source of inflation. To start, the price of WTI (US Crude) was well above $100 in 2008, peak over $140. The period from late 2010 to 2015 was spent between $80 and $110. As recently as 2018 H2 the price was on a $70 handle and 2015-2019 from $35-$75, compared to the $60-85 range of 2021 and $70 today.

The period 2003-2009 for natural gas was $6 to well over $12 per Mcf. The recent peak was on a $6 handle and is now back below $4.

Energy prices have been trading in the same price band for much of the past 25 years with brief runs outside (2008 above and 2020 below).
I thought the idea was to have less middlemen?
Except COVID is not the end goal here, it is living a full life in proximity to other human beings that comes with a risk of getting COVID. It is no different in purpose than driving for the most part.
Yeah, you're right. One counterexample definitely invalidates the entire argument.
> You still need the IT team to babysit the AWS infrastructure. … it only ever works if you pretend that AWS lives up to its zero-management hype.

Who is saying zero-management? If you have a consultant lying to you, that's not a cloud problem and I've heard the same people lie about all kinds of on-premise services as well.

What I've heard the major cloud providers say is true: you need _less_ staff and you can spend time on different things, which has been generally true. For example, instead of needing to configure a bunch of network hardware (which is a distinct skill you need to hire) you can have a general devops person use Terraform to manage routes, firewall rules, etc. without also needing to be a Cisco expert and spending time operating the underlying hardware.

The key question to ask is where your infrastructure was to start with. If you have an A-grade ops team, a lift-and-shift will probably not be much of a cost savings because you presumably already have economies of scale working in your favor, unless you have enough bursty workloads to pay for it that way. The catch is that most places do not have that high-end ops capacity so what you're really doing is taking your limited IT capacity and reclaiming the time which is currently going into things like managing Dell firmware updates.
Hi Wesley, you should be able to see the price on here now: https://app.preflight.com/account/billing. Sorry if we made a mistake

It becomes clear pretty quickly that the biggest boosters do not actually understand what's going on with the FPGA emulators and believe all kinds of false things about both it and software emulators. Of course they perceive it to be much better but it feels like an audiophile effect going on to me.

I will say that FPGA emulation is cool in some ways -- the power draw is less and you can achieve lower latency without some of the CPU-intensive methods that software emulators have pursued to do it. But most of the claims made about it do not stand up to scrutiny.
I am lucky to have a private office even though it's above my pay grade.

Certainly it is a good thing in the era of coronavirus because I have zero fear of getting infected in my office even if there is some risk in common areas.

I live in an 1850s farmhouse with no central heat, air conditioning, and only DSL internet so I probably go to the office more than anyone in my unit. Lately I've been packing my work laptop when I go home so the work-from-home option is available. We just went to "Code Red" for Coronavirus this morning.

In the past I have been a remote worker for places that had open offices of various types.

One of them had a very crowded space near Union Square in NYC, maybe 8 people stuffed into an area about the size of my current office. This was part of a startup accelerator and there were also common areas shared with other startups (I loved setting up here) as well as conference rooms, breakout rooms, places to videoconference.

I worked from home most of the time but I found the office space to be energizing. I'd hate to be stuffed in a tiny bullpen in the pandemic though, cause a sneeze would go off like a hand grenade.
It's interesting how Scotland, which kept a mask mandate, and England, which dropped it, affected cases.

From start to end of October, cases per 100k, 7 day average

Glasgow -- 300->220

Edinburgh -- 210->250

Manchester -- 290->220

Birmingham -- 250->280

4 similar cities, two with mask mandates, two without.

And smaller ones

Aberdeen -- 267->330

Southampton -- 300->410

Perth -- 320->260

Hereford -- 290->580

So there may be something there, would need more data to really see, but it certainly isn't a glowing mandate for masks
We have entire industries and research institutions funded to the tune of billons of dollars doing exactly that, using the very latest technology and scientific techniques. If there were effective treatment strategies that were easily discoverable, It'd have been patented, clinically trialed and be available from a counter near you at an affordable price extremely quickly. If it was cheap or safe enough, whole foods and such places would have shelves full of it. Capitalism is pretty good at that sort of thing, just look at all the vaccines we got in less than a year.
This is a good response and I think would be something that should be taken into account. I am still not going to start masking again unless a much more severe variant rises but I can understand setting a firm deadline based on an emerging technologies. Issue is that there will never be a 100% solution and some states more willing than others to let mandates run forever. What happens if those emerging technologies are not as effective as hoped? It becomes a slippery slope with the deadline kicked down the road. Personally I think we are all going to get covid eventually in much the same way we all get the flu. Everyone that wanted to get vaccinated (in the US) and boosted has had a chance to do so now. Most Americans that want to avoid human contact can for the most part via amazon and food delivery services, work is obviously a different matter for most people. Perhaps I am selfish which I am open to, but at this point after having taken 3 shots and been very mask conscious for the first ~14 months I am tapped out and willing to roll the dice as the risk ratio seems relatively low to my age group and I have no pre-existing morbidities.
Well, part of the solution is to enable anonymity, on the legal, technical, and platform levels. Just reminding everyone that "everything you say online can be publicly tied to your real identity" causes a chilling effect when you have opinions on anything remotely controversial.

That's why I find many aspects of the metaverse antithetical to what the internet is. Like the reduction of privacy of anonymity. Or the ownership of internet things, the internet is scalable and open in that I can own a website or in a games I can dress up my characters in anything I want without buying an NFT, I can even perfectly replicate your 1 of 500 limited edition metaverse sneakers, obviously I don't own the real thing but is anyone going to check the blockchain?

I can definitely picture a vibrant market where people trade these things, but compared to the market that Meta dominates now I can only imagine it being tiny in comparison.
This is too defeatist and doesn’t acknowledge the progress already made.

Being too needlessly cynical about what is possible is also dangerous. Basically you are forming a coalition with deniers and stand in the way of meaningful progress.

I agree that the challenges are immense and (as is pretty clear to everyone, I think) adapting to the changes will always be part of it. Does not mean that making progress on prevention is meaningless.

Let the people who do not want those preventive changes work on adaption alternatives.
Gotcha, that makes sense. I look forward to digging into the code myself :).
Multi-actuator drives would be moving in exactly the wrong direction for reducing those costs. A dual-actuator drive is essentially two drives sharing the same spindle—and the same case height, thereby cutting the number of platters per actuator in half.
Maybe not in any meaningful way for our species or our industries, but I find it meaningful to me.

I use it to read scientific articles on subjects I don't know much about. For example, an article talks about a percentage of the population, but I don't know how big that population is. I can simply go into Wolfram and get the missing data. I can also use it to make comparisons with other countries or time periods and, with a few basic queries, quickly explore ideas.

I'm not a scientist, just a programmer with too much time and curiosity on her hands. For me, it gives me a better understanding of topics I was not trained in.

I also use it almost daily to find out the nutritional value of foods. "Foods ranked by vitamin A", "Proteins in 100g of broccoli", etc.
> There were no guns

As a non-American who's overexposed to second amendment rants, I'm slightly baffled as to why there weren't any guns. The sheer incoherence of the protesters may have been a factor.
The author could improve their communication skills. Specifically, without more details, it seems like their negotiation was weak. Good negotiation get's you an amount you're happy with. If you aren't happy then you shouldn't take the work, full stop. The story should have ended there.
To add to this, there are also feedback loops involved. Sea ice is very white (high albedo), and as it melts at the margins it is replaced by sea water with a much lower albedo that absorbs more light and heat energy. So as the ice goes, the water around it warms ever faster. Once the ice is mostly gone, that will accelerate global warming by an appreciable amount simply through loss of reflectivity. That's just one of many feedback loops that make things more complicated than "move the CO2 thermostat up or down again".
People generally overestimate the impact of intelligence. In most fields of human endeavor, intelligence doesn't matter beyond a certain minimal level. At least it's less important than other qualities such as discipline and persistence.
I'm interested in the Analogue Pocket (NDA lifted yesterday, preorders opener an hour ago, I put mine in), so I used the Agnolia HN search for stories related to this topic.

This story had 0 comments and was far off the front page. I read the article, found it interesting, and upvoted it. That seems to have bumped it to the front page to snowball.
yeah it's 50F here in western South Dakota today but we've had cold fronts and snow in the past couple weeks and even though the weather is quite nice today my finger joints are killing me as I type this. I just turned 30 this year and it's been getting worse each year but now I'm at the point where I probably should do something about it.
I still would love to learn z80 assembly... I tried and failed to do so in high school (trying to write a game for my TI-83 calculator).
It's so bizarre to me that StumbleUpon came from the same mind as Uber (well one of the minds).

However true or untrue all of the political intrigue, journalistic threats, etc., it's just crazy to me that such an innocent corner of the web that I loved so much in the mid-late 2000s was sending death threats to journos in London not 8 years later.
Additionally, the demographics of South Africa are different too. The median age is significantly lower than most Western countries.
Thanks for those insights, you raise some good points and food for thought.
It is hard for me to understand the demonisation of air travel.

Every time I want to buy a ticket, I get carbon emission metrics in all the sites I visit. Sometimes, the ticket itself comes with these. I have never taken a train, or a bus, or a ship, where these are showed so prominently. Cars are rarely advertised as "less contaminant", and I would say that most people buying an electric car nowadays don't care that much about emissions, as they do about efficiency or simply the "cool factor".

I also feel that most of the criticism is directed to those traveling for pleasure, but decreasing air travel and/or increasing rates would penalise those who live far away from their families, and they are many.

> Basically when it is easy and simple and sounds good right out of the box, someone else has beat you to using it in a song, and you are in violation of their copyright.

No, it’s not. Not in a million years is a violation. This is not how copyright and licensing works. Youtube doing what it does is 100% wrong in every aspect, technical and practical.

> The license to the loop/track/etc. doesn’t mean your work isn’t protected by copyright. And it doesn’t mean your work doesn’t infringe on other work using the same content under the same license.

You’re 100% wrong. If you use something licensed to you, then you are not violating anything, and just because someone beat you, doesn’t mean they get exclusive rights to the sound. This is 100% pure bullshit.

ContentID is not synonymous with copyright. And ContentID is severely broken.

Just like your reply below that seems to ve flagged, your new post is also 100% wrong.
They work with selectors in general. We understand the page structure and even though there is a UI change we adapt to it. They have a little bit more functionality at the moment but we should catch them soon.
There is no strawman?

Your whole post relies on blaming SA for what happened to them, using their fellow SAfricans who exploited them (alongside the West) as a fall-guy. That’s a very unfair characterisation of colonialism and its modern effects, like I claimed in my post.

Further, similarly to the way you dismissed the West for purchasing slaves, you skipped over Shell getting away with bribing the poorer previously colonised country.
