I have seen this happen many times - the only way to get other teams to prioritize your work is to convince your leaderships its important so they can talk to the leadership of those team that it is important. Sometimes, even after leadership pressure, teams refuse to move priorities or don't deliver on time - always account for those as well.

No matter what you do, the slow pace & politics of large companies will hinder your growth. There would be some features/projects that would be absolutely unfeasible - not because they are technically harder but because you won't be able to reach alignment.

Smarter thing to do in these situations is to move on to something else that can deliver impact. If you keep delivering impactful features on your own (even if it means some duplication of effort), you will notice a lot of other team's manager would be interested in integrating with you as they now think of your feature/product as a potential cash cow & the cycle turn the other way - you product grow way faster than you predicted because now the company is working to enhance it & in doing so, they will bring customers from different touch points the company has resulting in a stronger moat.

Ofc, all this requires patience, vision, strategy, politics & luck. Its different ball game from startup where you throw N things to the wall and expect K things to stick. Here you can only throw maybe N/2 things to the wall and maybe K-x things will stick but if your strategy is correct, those K-x things will be far valuable in a big company.
Oh no. They were doomed to fail. Any day now. The original iMac was a joke. At least 20 different iPod killers came out every year and the media rooted for them. Then the iPhone came out and was a joke. Any minute now blackberry will release their new touchscreen model and wipe Apple off the map. Then Android was going to eat Apple‘s lunch. Then the iPad was announced and was a joke. Then android tablets were going to kill that market.

At every step Apple was a few months from being bankrupt and useless. Because Dell/Google/HP/RIM/Sony/whoever would undercut their CLEARLY overpriced product and their sales would evaporate.

At some point in the last five to seven years you started to see if you were in fewer of those takes. In 2018 Apple became the first trillion dollar company and somewhere along the line the “Apple‘s going to fail any day now“ meme died. It’s very clear Apple is here to stay.

But don’t worry. Every product is a failure. After all Steve Jobs died and the company can’t work without him. The iPad was going to be a failure. The Apple Watch was going to be a failure. The AirPods were going to be a failure.

So don’t worry. There’s still tons of Apple pessimism available. It just changed targets.
> I tend to think of microservices as mostly good for solving organizational problems

Yeah, they're frequently used for that. In the case of my cloud service, though, there are multiple pieces that are beneficial to scale independently (browser servers, WebRTC servers, functions for orchestration, and functions for the user-facing web-based administration). I also want to put as much onto AWS Lambda as possible to simplify scaling, but the stateful browser and WebRTC services can't run on Lambda.

> That said, I still don't really understand why you'd use TypeScript on the server at all if you need C# for other services

That's fair. One reason is that I feel that I develop the fastest with TypeScript. Another is that I develop the web front-end in TypeScript and like being able to share code for the web-related parts. Another is that I like to leverage AWS Lambda for the non-stateful parts, and Lambda's cold start times for Node are lower than those for .NET, which can help provide lower latency for user-initiated web requests.

> In particular, it sounds like it'd be necessary to write wrappers on both ends, so that you have idiomatic C++ or C# everywhere except at the boundary.

Yeah, you're right. The parts that C# calls must C linkage, so C++ functions must be wrapped in `extern "C"`. My understanding is that C is the lingua franca between languages because it has a simple ABI, whereas the ABI for C++ is complex and may between compilers.
Why use a blockchain at all? Implement it using signed certificate chains (x509?) and say it's cryptographically secured via decentralized PKI, then you can offer the same value proposition that basically all NFT platforms currently offer without all the environmental implications
There are two sleights of hand here that make this analogy sound reasonable when it actually isn't.

(1) "Buying" a Rolex (or knockoff) vs NFTs - buying a physical (or digital) good gives you privileged access to it. The same is not true of an NFT, which just adds your name next to a pointer in a (decentralized) database. Nothing changes in regard to access to the underlying good unless people decide to build mechanisms on top of the chosen blockchain to artificially enforce access privileges, but you don't need a blockchain for that (cf. skins in CS-GO or stock images one pays for to purchase and download).

(2) "Indistinguishable" - with physical goods, that's a perceptual property and when you're talking about knockoffs of luxury goods, it really just means "hard to tell the difference (unless you examine it closely)". With digital media, the way it's been set up with NFTs, indistinguishable means completely identical. There are ways to actually sell protected digital media - e.g. you show a low-res version on a website and only send a full-res version once a purchase is made. But that's also been happening since the internet became a thing and doesn't need blockchains or NFTs either.

Orbits over long stretches of time seem likely to need arbitrarily high amounts of accuracy in pi. Sure you can just pick a rational number close enough for the accuracy you need, but why should the definition of pi need to change based on what you're measuring?
This is one of the most fun papers I've read in a while. I won't spoil anything; sit down with it when you have time and be prepared to laugh a bit.
That's true, but there have been several experiments with expanding the phone to a full desktop when you plug it into a monitor with the necessary USB ports. Apple won't ever support it, but several Android phones, Windows phones and Ubuntu phones do. The problem is usually software, either because of third party software not running or clunky first party support for adding a screen.

With the power of a modern phone, all you really need is a monitor with a USB hub to turn it into a fully fledged PC. Sure, you won't be doing too much in the way of debugging code or editing video, but for most people it should be enough. It's not like the 4K screen on your phone has that fewer pixels than the 4K monitor you hook it up to.

From what I can tell, you can run a usable desktop environment if you plug in a modern high-end Android device to a suitable monitor. Good enough for browsing the web, editing basic spreadsheets and doing homework, anyway.

IMO this could be the ultimate tool for companies with loads of employees that don't do too complex work and get fancy company phones already. Even if you don't use the power of the phone directly, you could use a thin client app to save costs there. I think eventually someone will be able to make a business case out of it, but so far all attempts have failed.

Sadly, my phone doesn't do DisplayPort out, so when I tested a standard laptop dock all it did was add a mouse cursor and a notification about the physical keyboard to my phone. I bought a midrange phone, though so that's kind of to be expected.
US Army Creates Single Vaccine Effective Against All Covid, SARS Variants
I said actual human people. Of the constant pump-and-dump hype about NFTs online, most seem to be bots and the rest seem so foreign that I'm half-convinced they came from outer space.

People care about a deed because it's a legal right to a thing that exists and does something. Nobody cares about the "Mona Lisa NFT" on any blockchain, extant or to be developed. The Mona Lisa is in a museum. You can go look at it, COVID permitting.

The "Mona Lisa NFT" is, however, a good joke. It is accompanied by many distinctly less funny jokes, like all of the art I've seen blatantly stolen to bake into a blockchain somewhere, but that one at least is sort-of punching sideways and not down.

The summary of this thread is that the only complaints anyone has is that it is too hard to get a Model Y or parts for a Model Y, both indicative of just how successful this car is.
IPFS is not magic: it runs on servers and people have to pay for storage and bandwidth. If you're not regularly paying those people, your content will disappear unless it's among the most popular and not legally encumbered.

If something is taken down for legal reasons, you're left with intersection of hosts who are in legal jurisdictions where they can blow off those complaints, don't have their IPs blocked, and are willing to host it for whatever you want to pay.

That's not impossible but it's far from the solved problem NFT salespeople present it as, increasing in difficulty with the value of the content.

I hear you, but they were definitely sharper mentally earlier on.

Maybe its just normal aging. Maybe alcohol plays a role in tandem. Maybe its just the mental trauma of chronic stress from trying to survive in a system you feel at odds with. Maybe its all of it.

But its a noticeable difference between my equally tormented friends who stayed away from drug use. They have a lot of problems but not the same marked decline in empathy and decision making.

Anyway that PKD quote someone posted says it all...

> unless you can read minds, it'd be hard to prove

That's not how it works.

There is going to be an evidentiary standard (such as "preponderance of the evidence" -- it won't be "beyond a reasonable doubt") applied by an administrative law judge.

The judge can very well decide he CAN read minds -- unless YOU can read minds, or he decides to tell you, you won't know.
would be a great case about the legality of crowdsourced leveraged buyouts.
What I have heard from a lawyer specializing in IP law is that the definition of "satire" as it applies to fair use in US courts is actually far narrower than people usually use. To qualify as "satire," it would specifically have to "comment on the original work"--commenting on, say, the author of the work would not qualify it as fair use.
That’s not isomorphic to the discussion at hand though, which refers to modeling systems. Being able to physically construct an object within epsilon does not imply that you won’t run into precision issues when modeling said object at the same degree of precision.

In other words, cutting your beams to +/- 1/2” may work for each individual beam in a building but that does not imply that your building as a whole can tolerate an average beam length being +.499” above nominal.
That 20 MB of space, would mostly be for writing graphics code. All the images, resources, hidden stuff, animations, code to run those animations, etc.

Its not that the core program has increased in size or has lost performance, but that the code required to build a good program based on that core has increased exponentially.

Also, as a developer, I usually don't care much about memory until I complete the program, check if its consuming abnormally high memory and then sit about to optimize. So, the developer for calculator.exe saw that the program consumes about 0.125% of commonly available memory size (16 GB), and probably concluded that its good enough for a program that is opened and closed, maybe 10 times a day.

Its the same with processing power. Unless you are writing highly resource hungry systems, losing a few thousand cycles here and there are not an issue.

Compounding this problem is the depth of the tech stack and the typical number of stacks used for an application have increased tremendously.
Call it "ecocrypto."
Honestly, I thought the difference was that the plugin was more selective about distinguishing between things like

but when double checking I wasn't able to get any clever behavior out of it.
I feel such a kinship with these people. Brought a tear to my eye, it did! If only more problems of inferior or subpar quality were solved this way.

Can we add some AI to that blockchain ?
A mesh network is entirely different from and inferior to a network with multiple access points each with a wired connection. If you've built your network to be the latter, you don't want anything to start acting as a wireless repeater and wasting lots of airtime.
I've wanted someone to do this at scale for such a long time. It's funny; it's another great way to highlight the sound and fury signifying nothing that is NFTs. You can call them "fantasy NFTs" and explain that they are identical in every respect to the real things, but available at fantasy prices.

On Spotify, artists need 3.5 million streams per year to achieve the annual earnings for a full-time minimum-wage worker of $15,080.

That is completely insane. Artists are getting robbed, man. Spotify is a $72 billion company. They need to be replaced.
I wonder if that is what inspired Terry Prattchet, in Small Gods the inquisitor Vorbis is killed when a tortoise falls on his head having being dropped by a eagle. that tortoise is also his god turned into a tortoise due to lack of belief.
It's meant to help people applying for jobs, the vast majority of whom don't get the job, so it's not really about the people who get hired.
That is replacing actual reality with math all over again. In the actual reality this ratio is concrete, limited value. I would say that our numbers and approaches are limited that they are unable to precisely define it. It just we are so used to it that no one even thinks about challenging it. And even if they do - good luck finding funding.

Now we do have tools that overcome those limitations somewhat - like limits and stuff but doesn’t remove the need for better tools.

So I somewhat disagree with both of you - we need new, better numbers that are further from math abstraction and closer to actual reality.

Otherwise it is like this story with Poynting vector from Veritasium video - only confuses instead of explaining.
They shouldn't have cancelled, they should have pushed your appt out based on what their estimated date is. I'd make another appt and push them to order the part. You can find the part and reference it by number so they have no excuse. Instead of just asking for it to be fixed, ask for a quote and if they could order the part(s) for you. Then you can figure out if you want to try the repair yourself or have them do it once you get it.

I used it recently after hearing they were telling people they couldn't install all season tires on the 21" wheels, but if you reference the new tires by part number (they're new tires) they were able to get a quote and order them.

The United States appears to only know how to wage war and even that has been iffy since WWII. China is poised to decimate us. They’ve been playing the long game for decades now. What have we been doing? Enriching defense contractors and having very little to show for it.
The build back better bill didn’t get enough news cycles and was being overshadowed by Omicron negativity. This is a easy PR win to just have Manchin force a re-do. They get another media cycle and get to spin it in their favor (which you must do when you pass a trillion+ bill, to have approval ratings drop after that price tag is a no go, do it again).
Hilariously written and genuinely high quality information.

Too many cryptography tutorials start by rehearsing the precise definition of a group, and formulas for elliptic curve arithmetic etc. only to conclude with like two paragraphs on the actual crypto. It's pretty refreshing to see things like "How points addition + is defined is not our concern, what we care is that (E, +) forms a group" lmao because that's exactly right.

I feel like these discussions are emotionally charged.

We are talking about NFT X where someone paid $1M for. X is on Y blockchain. Creating X on Z blockchain is meaningless exercise. Why you may ask? Well, future bidders won’t consider X on Z. It’s no longer “X”. I guess uniqueness can then be considered as “X on Y”.

I think the Deed example up the comment chain perfectly illustrates this. Look, I have zero horse in this game. I probably hate this NTF culture as much as you do. But you’re missing the entire idea of NTFs. And so are most people here although the Olive Garden joke is pretty funny.

There is a clear argument here, and it is repeated multiple times. I have no idea why its so difficult for anyone to see.. here’s one:

> rather than encouraging us to think about the systems that determine the nature of our engagement with online platforms in the first place. In shifting the emphasis from what one is doing with the screen to how often one looks at it, we also shift the emphasis away from the worlds we are building…

That distinction right there is obvious, important and yet constantly and repeatedly overlooked. For a lot of us, our parents told us that being on the computer was a waste of time and why don’t you go outside? The current approach to deal with “too much technology” as implemented by Screen Time on Apple devices counts all screen time as the same. I see my friends doing some form of digital detox often as well because they don’t understand this distinction.

I don’t know why this turns off so many engineers, but it seems to be predicated on pattern matching off vocabulary. The sentence you quoted is refuted by the argument. No amount of statistics can fundamentally untangle the causation between A. hours spent online and B. obesity, antisocial behavior etc. That is why it’s important to build clear conceptual models before asking the “factual questions” you want. As a thought experiment maybe just consider how exactly you would go about getting factual answers to these questions in a reasonable time and budget without any theory to guide you, only data. I don’t believe its even possible. The replication crisis in psychology should also demonstrate how purely empirical methods can fail.

I knew from following people much smarter than me that I should be investing all my money in Apple stocks, I just didn't have any to invest.
This is a well known and basic topic that you will be trained on before allowed to enter any physics lab with lasers in it. This can happen around shiny objects, windows on streets and pretty much anything that reflects light.

"So coherent is laser light that one may observe interference effects even when the path difference between the interfering rays is much greater than 109 wavelengths! ... If two waves are exactly “in phase” as shown in Figure 1a, they will reinforce each other; this is called constructive interference." [0]

This is probably off-topic, but here's what I would love to see: a federated, highly redundant distribution platform where usage requires a contribution of storage. Volume, performance and uptime of that contribution would be rewarded with proportional rights (with respect to available storage, and priority of service).

Can such a distributed solution be developed without requiring a blockchain or the mining of coins?
If you set the SSID and password identical for both bands, the clients should prefer to negotiate the optimal band. I just checked and all clients save for some legacy devices on my OpenWRT router are on 5GHz. So I'm now wondering for which cases is band-steering helpful?
