> Someday you will have an arm full of Apple Watches, one for each client.

Noooo. Armfuls of watches are just for hilarious movies and such. It's not supposed to have a corporate elementttt. The cyberpunk vibes are too much with this.
Good article.

Certain tempting things left unexplained though :) . Like, why properties of H, He and Ne are such that they are at this part of their diagram at normal conditions? Or where dispersion bonding stores the kinetic energy - when two atoms bond this way, both momentum and energy should be preserved, so some places to put excess of energy should be present, otherwise the pair should be unstable. Like, requiring another external collision to dissipate that energy.

High school physics also teaches adiabatic processes, which can suggest a temperature change. But those are all minor comments to the idea that there are models, and they are imprecise, but still could be useful.
Your point is very strange to me since every single one of the things you listed: deaths of dispair, drug abuse, even obesity are strongly correlated (inversely) with economic health.
> machivellian character who murders people on a regular basis

I read the first one he murders someone so it seems it has always been like that.
Oh please. Ever watched Mad Men, or any other tv/film that shows the wining and dining of prospective clients by a sales person/team? Every time a sales person spends money on a prospective client is written off as an expense, so the gov't is pretty much condoning it.

There are tons of stories of big pharma sending doctors to lavish resorts in the guise of a "conference". Ever heard of payola? The music business has been based on bribes. Why would you think of the film business being different? Hell, the states are involved just as much with tax incentives to entice productions to use their state/cities as location for that production.

You're being quite cynical trying to wrap any person with knowledge of these payout schemes as being involved/complicit.
It will be more expensive because other places are. Germany: currently a gallon of gas is €7.65 ($8.63). A kWh of electricity is €0.40($0.45).
I will have you know that since I got my tiger-repelling rock I have not been attacked by tigers…

Any additional gains at the compilation stage are going to be marginal. The real potential is with further dynamic run time optimization within the JVM.
I pay for grid hookup and for electricity,
if they think that they don't have enough money for managing their stuff properly across the board (both wires and loads), they should increase those costs for everybody and not just throw some charges (or essentially tax to benefit utilities) on panels.

how is it exactly fair that in case when there are two households having same minimal use (essentially grid connection price) with one of them having 10k of solar, the household without solar will pay $10 per month and the other one will pay $90 per month ? (as i said, they consume same amount of energy from grid)
If I apply the same calculation today, on a minimum wage of $7.25…

Wage: $7.25/h
per-month affordable: $362.50
median home price: $374,900
3.519% fixed, 30-yr
20% down
required monthly payment -> $1,350

which is unaffordable by a factor of almost 4x.

In fairness, the comment chain you're responding to is talking about the thing you're responding to in your comment, but I think the increase in unaffordability at the minimum wage still speaks to the problem: while it wasn't likely to allow home ownership in the past, but it's even less possible now, and that translates up into the higher wages where people then might have afforded a home, but cannot now.

Plenty of maps have been drawn to show that minimum wage can't even afford to rent median 1-bed apartments.
> What we need from journalism for the 21st century is a curated set of ongoing collections of consensus.

This is a horrifying idea. Tension between various facets on a topic is good. Consensus breeds complacency, avoids change, and the meek-but-correct get crushed.

Let's teach our children how to identify opinion and compare opinions for reasonableness.
There is no possible delineation. Anything you can't be deprived of is a thing that others are forced to provide you under state compulsion. What falls under that category is up to social consensus, and is subject to change and debate, as we're seeing with housing now in response to skyrocketing prices and the perverse incentives of the prominence of a house as a reliable investment vehicle.
Ever been under 18 and owned a spray paint can or a permanent marker? Crime.

The list goes on and on.
This has to be a troll post. And it seems to have worked.
Airline industry warns upcoming 5G deployment could cause hiccups for travelers
To validate the point if I'll ever buy something Apple it would be a Mac to run Linux on, but I don't see why I should pay an Apple premium and throw away many of the reasons to pay for it. The Mn processor of the future should be so much faster than anything else (say x10) to leave me no choice. I doubt it will ever happen.
It seems you’re talking from the developer’s point of view, the person who writes and deploys smart contracts. I am coming from the end user’s point of view, who has very little to gain from the immutability guarantees.

For Uniswap pools, you’re referring to smart contracts that allow people to take out or provide funding for loans, right? So the immutability of the contract may be appealing in terms of interest rates or loan duration/terms/etc. But this option already exists outside of DeFi (fixed rate loans). It is cool that we can offer these in a decentralized manner, but the possibility of a bug affecting my mortgage or another sizable loan is a huge, huge deterrent and I am also sure that, if DeFi “takes off,” there will be solutions implemented that completely remove all immutability guarantees.
The behaviour of many execs I have worked with would be explained well by this sort of arrangement, but it could equally have been a mix of stubbornness and having no clue. It's politer to assume it was corruption.
Stay-at-home mothers are routinely cited as proof for the systemic oppression of women, so it seems quite a stretch to interpret it as simply wanting women to have a choice. They clearly value some choices higher than others.

It's true that they prefer women to decide against children, but the point was, they think women stay at home because they are forced to do so, when really it is one of the privileges they get in exchange for giving birth.

As for the pressure - who does that? Not employers, they lose valuable employees if women switch to stay at home motherhood. What are the repercussions for not having children?

The only pressure is from friends and family concerned about women's well-being if they don't have kids. It's like complaining that people experience pressure to save for old age or to exercise and eat healthy.

These days it is more likely that you have to justify staying at home, especially with all the daycare options available. In France it is normal to return to work after three months. Here in Berlin you get to hear questions if you stay at home longer than a year.
> I know of people who AWS fully sponsored, including business class intercontinental travel, to attend re:Invent which is essentially a week long holiday party, by virtue of AWS bill.

Flying people to an AWS conference seems entirely different than funneling money into a single person's bank account.

Yes, I know these conferences have a party-like atmosphere, but it's not done surreptitiously and it's not siphoning money out of the deal into someone's pockets.
I am not sure about Purdue and their affiliation with their student newspaper, but many US universities have operations abroad to some extent, like a recruiting office or something.
yeah I was really excited about the first generation of RPi and then ran headlong into big problems where the kernel would drop USB packets when running at sustained high loads at USB 2.0 speeds. And nobody else could fix it because it was relying on CPU documentation that Broadcom hadn't released yet. It took basically 2 years to get USB working properly, and the RPi architecture basically uses USB as a system bus so potentially more or less everything was affected...

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/19

A huge number of the use-cases that people were excited about ended up being "low-power device to connect X usb device to network" (whether that's storage devices, cameras, whatever) and it kinda killed a lot of the utility for a long time.

And yeah I know the "official" purpose was as a low-power system for schools, but the first gen also had reliability problems due to the full-size SD cards being unsupported in their slow and tending to warp a little bit with sustained warm-ish temperatures and questionable power adapters people were using, so they weren't even something I'd really want to administer, the reliability wasn't there.

I know a lot of these have been fixed over time in various fashions (the microSD card doesn't cantilever out into open air, so it doesn't tend to warp as much, and people have figured out better adapters, etc) but the early experience was rough and the software issues were exacerbated by Broadcom's high level of secrecy with their documentation. And unlike Asahi, there wasn't the drive to "figure it out" and write your own implementation/documentation - just as an outsider it seems like the existence of documentation (even if nobody outside the foundation could see it) killed the drive to reverse-engineer it. Why go to the effort ifthe documentation exists, type thing.
I imagine that if they bought them all at the same time, it would be seen as anticompetitive. But if they bought them serially, and shut each down before acquiring the next, would that skirt the law? Curious indeed.
Any source for Atlanta? I’ve never heard of high surveillance or anything.
"either working on screens that are too small (14" really isn't enough to be productive)"

I work primarily from a 13" xps. Given the high-res display + that I can switch desktops easily via i3, it's really a non issue for what I do.

You can also use a dock. For my work laptop, I use the Caldigit TS3+ thunderbolt and it's great.
Oh, finally a big keyboard manufacturer has the cojones to move Capslock away from prime keyboard space.

I have Advantage keyboard and usually wrote off physically separated keyboards, but thinking more about it now, I do wish my Advantage's two splits were angled a liiiittle more. So, I'll probably get this 360.

I do hope however that us_intl layout becomes more widespread and the AltGr modifier key is universally present in US keyboards without having to set it up.
Netflix is a publicly traded company. They have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholder to increase shareholder value by always selecting the best interest of the shareholders. It is way beyond a corporate policy. It is stealing shareholder value.
> But it's not a specific crypto project. It is a paradigm within which various different services are being built.

And the paradigm is, of course, the Internet. Not, you know, Juicero.
Presumably because it becomes a shared cost. 100 JVMs in 100 containers have to pay that cost individually. Now 1 or 2 central instances have the resources for compiling, the 100 worker bees don't need them. They also might becable to optimize faster as they have runtime statistics from other instances, skipping warmup.
Open letter from the BMJ to Mark Zuckerberg
Yeah, there are hundreds of thousands of "serious" developers working in the cryptocurrency space. I'm working in the space. No, my employer doesn't have a tokenized project. I'm not even working directly with web3, though I use it.

Many of us have a practical attitude which is effectively that the technology has massive potential, and at the same time, that it's probably overvalued for the current state of technology.

Of course, overvalued is subjective. It could all still amount to nothing, but it could also replace tons of legacy/traditional infrastructure and systems, and/or create a new global financial layer based on currencies whose supplies can't be manipulated by governments. The valuation is of course massively coupled to the perceived potential and the varying levels of conviction speculators have in it, which incentivizes a lot of disingenuous behaviours.

Copy/paste without attribution to license or permission is more blatant.
I'd recommend it. The syntax should make you feel at home if know python, though the type system (and std lib) does make it feel like a very different language once you use actually use it.

One advantage over C++ is that you don't need to learn make, IDEs or a complex build system. The nim compiler and the nimble package manager just takes care of building for you. "nim c main.nim" and off you go, ending up with a single executable, no matter how many imports, modules, etc you have.

I do recommend this as a gentle introduction: https://nim-by-example.github.io/ and recommend you use VS Code with the Nim extension by saem.
For some time now, for buying home improvement tools, I have followed the heuristic “buy the cheap one, then once it breaks, buy the expensive high-quality one.” I find that this helps make sure I don’t waste money on something I will only use once or twice.
This definitely looks like egregious and apparently intentional infringement, but violating the GPL is not violating a law in most countries; it's violating a license agreement. Contracts are not law. Therefore, violating the GPL by itself probably isn't illegal (but it could probably become illegal if other statutes, like CFAA or RICO were brought into play.)

If I violate deed restrictions on my property by building a shed, then that wouldn't be illegal per se; it'd simply be a breach of contract and the private organization could sue me for redress.

But, if I built that same shed in the middle of a public street, then that might be illegal and the city might have me arrested and prosecuted.
Learning is pointless now?
Especially projects that are run by corporations. They often demand you sign a CLA, which means getting a lawyer involved to understand what you're giving up (for each project you want to help!) Open source has become so hostile, I don't even bother any more.
Even if Windows market share dwindles, just imagine how many legacy systems are still running on it. These systems, along with the support contract Microsoft negotiated with them, are what will keep them alive indefinitely. Not forever, of course, but the end is not soon either.
Please cite an example. Most countries' copyright law tips civil license agreement disputes back into the civil courts, not criminal, with relatively few exceptions.
I worked at a medium size software company in New York and our team lead would always say "Why make what you can take?" when referring to finding open source code and running with it, regardless of licensing or anything.
I didn't know about this. How does it work? youtubedown gets around the throttling by opening a bunch of connections at once.
I'm the one on the OBS team who originally found this. I saw a tweet yesterday from someone that's in the beta, and as with any desktop live streaming software (and especially with "Studio" in the name) I was curious if they were using any OBS Studio code or if it was developed all in-house. The download link is available in their JS, you can find the most recent installer link here: https://tron-sg.bytelemon.com/api/sdk/check_update?branch=ma... (note: you probably won't be able to actually use it without being in the beta group)

Without even installing it, opening the setup files showed some immediate red flags, notably the "GameDetour64.dll", "Inject64.exe" and "MediaSDKGetWinDXOffset64.exe" look awfully similar to the way the OBS Studio game capture hooks work with our "graphics-hook64.dll", "inject-helper64.exe" and "get-graphics-offsets64.exe". I don't jump straight in to disassembling everything I come across, but when it's this obvious it begs further investigation, and after some disassembly I was able to confirm that OBS code was present in their binaries.
No, I'm assuming best case: zero interest.

You might be arguing that 1970's cost-as-multiple-of-earnings plus 1970-accumulated-interest exceeds 2020's equivalent. Is that your point?

I agree that it’s gotten worse; I just think people underestimate how much it has always sucked to be among the lowest earning households.

You can look at these retired 70-something boomers driving nice cars, owning a house, and taking a couple trips a year and assume they lived on Easy Street their whole lives when in fact they were probably struggling to pay bills 40 and 50 years ago as well.
The dearth of supporting information in TFA (one unreliable witness, and a whole bunch of conjecture and assumptions) is an example of why Newsweek is blocked in my Apple News feed. It's not the printed news weekly your Mom used to subscribe to, it's now online-only clickbait AFAICT. I mean, how much verifiable content is on that page? Is there any?
Enforcing/auditing sane security settings on the device.

Very much required for compliance, zero trust, protection of IP, and foundational to a reasonable security plan.
In the US, PE has made it so the word “engineer” is legally protected, like “doctor”. No one enforces it for software, so I wonder if it’s even enforceable anymore. But the law is there.
>Well, yes, this applies to engineering. But not to software engineering.

Good luck with that here.
I think this is indicative of the slow break down of civil society.

To some extent you can "throw more cops" at the problem, but at some point, you have to realize that it's the people, the society and what they put up with. Be it at home, in school, in pop culture, etc. Accepting petty crime as part of every day life eventually erodes enough civility that at some point the criminals realize they have overwhelmed the system.

People are afraid to speak up when Johnny does something inappropriate. "How dare you scold my kid". There is no longer much social pressure to conform. It has good aspects (people can now do activities that harm no one else and no one will bat an eye, but also this same sword allows opportunists to take advantage of the situation. It's a multi decade phenomenon. At some point, people will get fed up and the stars will align and the pendulum will swing the other way (Wild West initially vs Statehood later on)

Very interesting! I can't help but wonder why these technologies (the framework, and accompanying observability) aren't an OS-level feature; wondering if at this point we need an OS at all, and why not ship a minimal kernel + the binary of an application built w/ this to run directly on the VM.
Lol... no it's quite the opposite and far less distracting to actually navigate by map. You read the map, interpret the relevant bits, hold (in broad strokes) the entire strategy in your mind, and then just drive. Most of the small decisions don't matter. In fact, this greatly improves situational awareness. I don't need to pay attention to navigating every interesection when I just read the map and realize that every road as long as I'm heading roughly east will dump into the big collector road that I need to get to. I remember whether I'm on one side of the freeway, or the other, and I can find my way onto it without any additional assistance.

Interestingly, it's often MORE efficient than using Waze or some navigation app with ADHD that can't see the forest for the trees. I pity those that never learned to see the forest.
Mad Men is a fictional TV show set in the 1950s. "Big Pharma" sending doctors to resorts is now illegal in the US under the Sunshine Act.

Absurd and surreal humor has always been funny, it's not something GenZ invented. It's even possible that GenZ saw all the baggage and rules that late GenX and millennials established for using memes "correctly" and not wanting to be seen as clueless as the boomers, said "fuck it, let's do nonsense, if they criticize that we'll tell them they're the clueless ones".

I also suspect memes like the ones you find in r/BoneHurtingJuice and r/AntiMemes are an interesting mix of that. They're creating their own baggage and rules for deconstruction memes.

IMO the trend the article is hating is memes focused on ego and opinions. You can still see the deconstruction of a minion meme to make it funny again, but a significant part of memes today are personal opinions in trending templates. The template is not important, the opinion is, and its purpose is getting reactions, but not only laughs.
