I'm pretty sure you're trying to paint this as unreasonable by extending it, but ... yes? If I could plug my brain into the Matrix (without evil AI), I'd totally spend most of my time there.
It's effective enough to have bombed the shit out of a chinese embassy in '99. Look it up.
I agree that SVG/XML is bad for embedded and I think this format is cool but you probably can agree it's unlikely anything will displace SVG unless it matches it in features, one of the benefits which is to manipulate SVGs using the DOM in browsers.
I’m probably biased, but European proportional representation seems to me much better than the bipolar mess of US and UK politics.

It’s true, Belgium went through a long period of not having a majority government... mind you they still had one, just without major power. But that was a major exception.

Otherwise, since it is rare that one party grabs a majority of seats on its own, it requires compromise searching. It makes big strategic moves harder, and everything is indeed a bit slower, but also less extreme and more predictable.

Parties can’t carve out their niche simply by being more extreme, so you get more of a middle ground even before you get to elections.

But also, other than various quirks of casting floats to ints, if a decision goes through parliament, it means it has the support of (MPs as of election time representing) the majority of the society. As opposed some strange nonlinear function thereof.

Sure, then I guess the question is how likely any of that is and if we’re adjusting for risk, what’s the opportunity cost vs just working for someone else? My guess is that in 10+ years of saving or investing zero dollars, each subsequent year of dream chasing is going to have an opportunity cost so high that the big payout ending would be the only thing that could balance the scales
Maybe.. OnHub has a command-and-control network in the cloud, with which you interact using the Home (formerly: Wifi) app on your mobile. I guess they are ending support for OnHub control protocols in the cloud. So you'd need to replace the software in the router such that it could be controlled some other way.
> Spontaneous interactions: Someone complaining over the lunch [...] In remote-only setting, everything requires setting up a meeting. That often formalizes everything, and less things end up being discussed.

Our team scheduled a daily half-hour meeting early in the morning with no set agenda, to try to replace all these casual interactions until we can go back to hybrid. It's not perfect, but it helped.
It would seem to me founders, technical or not, would be well suited to management positions with a lot of control/freedom since that is likely not so different from starting a business, except scaled up.
Well, while this is true, there is some level of survivorship bias here. Plenty of comparable South Indian temples were torn down, and the ones that survive are mostly quirks of chance. Even the ones that do survive have seen many of their gopurams (monumental gates) collapse after a few centuries due to political apathy in modern times - the one I recall most recently was at Srikalahasti.

> So what's the deal? Are OP and me the only devs who have ever hit up against this issue in practice?

The sad truth is that many issues go unreported because people are lazy and move on when they hit a roadblock.

Also, I've seen this problem reported more than a few times so you're not alone.
Does anybody know if this could be creating flow-on effects to Google Container Registry? We're seeing some very weird behaviour at the moment.
Unfortunately, it looks as if this got flagged. I think it is a major issue with all this misinformation (from ivermectin, HCQ and so on all the way to seeing health care employees as being murderers) that this weaponization of the internet is now so far out of control that it is costing lives, both directly because people cause each other to not vaccinate but use all kinds of quackery instead and indirectly because health care workers have been quitting in fairly large numbers, not on account of the pandemic itself but on account of how they are being treated.
It's not 100% unless you're using an input to record audio and then it's there for a reason. 99% of the people in these threads aren't going to see this during their PowerPoints because they're not recording anything and the 1% that do and care about the dot should be using a hardware I/O device anyways because the OS can do a lot more than just display a dot. Additionally, applications can also fix this themselves by using Apple's APIs.
We developed a policy that Mondays are required, Wednesday are encouraged, rest is work from home.

I find this sort of policy fascinating. You say people are required to be on site every Monday, but what would happen if they said no? Would you fire them and go through the pain and expense of replacing them? Or is it "required" in the "we'll say it in the hope no one actually questions it" sense?
If a car with a shattered window is completely unacceptable for some situation for some reason, a person could say (still hyperbolically), "it might as well be totalled". It's still stupid to say "it's totalled!" (and that's not because I'm objecting to the insurance definition).

The orange dot being unacceptable to some people and situations is never something I've doubted in the slightest.

Some people can't seem to grasp that it's perfectly consistent to say "you're being hyperbolic, but your objection is fully sound". It's as though after a crash that results in a shattered window, someone says "it's totalled!" and then if someone else says "it's NOT totalled" they take that to mean that a shattered window is no real problem.

The orange dot is totally stupid, unacceptable in many situations, the decision was atrocious, AND the language people have been using about it is hyperbolic.
That is an interesting point.

Both China and Russia have stealth fighters, but not stealth bombers, from my understanding.

China's Xian H-20 was to be announced this year. Russia's Tupolev PAK-DA is scheduled for 2028.

I suspect that the need for stealth bombers is rather low:

- If you want to carry large bomb payloads, ICBMs do the trick.

- For smaller bomb payloads, they can fit in the fighters.
> Indian-Americans are the wealthiest ethnic demographic in America simply because migrating from India pretty much requires being very wealthy to begin with.

Most Indian immigrants come from middle class, not poor or rich backgrounds. They are privileged enough to have access to educational opportunities that give them the skills to emigrate, but privileged enough to not have a reason to emigrate.
This is not true. If you're processing, you likely are using hardware I/O so you're not getting the display output, you're getting raw output.
Now think about you when you did like it. What was your situation/life back then ? There are plenty of people who are you from that time. They do like going into office. So the argument here is that it is not one size fits all and just like there are plenty of arguments FOR wfh, there are plenty against it. YMMV

For my money, the most exciting thing to happen to front-end development in a long time is the rise of Elm ( https://elm-lang.org/ ) I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it yet.
Huh, nice. I always reach for SVG when i want a hand-editable format for some random project, but your points on the parsing and implementation complexity seem very reasonable.

Two qns: 1. Did you consider a re-specification of SVG or a subset in another embedding language that's easier to parse? text/json+svg, application/bson+svg, etc. (Examples for clarity, not literally suggesting json/bson are appropriate choices)

2. SVG has broken gamma-correct blending. It was originally not specified at all so all implementations did it wrong; i think the spec fixes it in 1.2 but the only people who care are Inkscape, and they explicitly aren't implementing it because they don't want to author files that in all likelihood will never display properly in browsers.
So... the ship sailed in the wrong direction. Could be worth some thought at this early stage of your project, then you'd have a feature that you actually can't achieve in SVG.

> Large game companies make a significant percentage of their revenue from the so-called "whales", which tend to be lonely people with an addiction control problem.

Yes but those companies are freemium or in-app purchases "games" which is AFAIK a completely different model than Ubisoft which sells $60 games once like FarCry or Assassins Creed.
It's worse than that, this ones haven't even had security patches for a while.
Texas Penal Code Sec. 9.41 talks about this. https://texas.public.law/statutes/tex._penal_code_section_9....

There are multiple cases where people have argued they were justified in shooting a thief and won. I am only aware of people who owned the business themselves not employees, so there could be issues there.

In California you almost certainly won't win in a case like that. In Texas depending on the situation you very easily could.

It is of course not a guarantee and if the person is running away and you shoot them in the back you will probably lose.
I don't see it as being "hostile to the idea of being friends with coworkers." I'm friends with quite a few current and former co-workers, mostly who weren't in a local office. It's more a pushback against the (perhaps mostly imagined) idea that people are arguing that social circles inherently revolve around work.
Well, to me that is the same thing, because since it was proprietary, Steve Jobs and Apple could not control it (and maybe improve it and adopt to their standards) - so they rather threw it out.
(not that apple had a problem with proprietary tools, justs with proprietary tools not under their control, in a vital position)

If the Flash player would have been open in a way, chromium/webkit is, with many top players working on it - it very likely would still be around and maybe even dominating, as it was way superior in terms of features and more importantly, it was not a mess to work with, like HTML still is.

Because it creates an environment to spend more time at work and can result in work that is less productive for everyone and less healthy.
The question is if we talk about decoding or rendering performance. Right now, the software renderer is slow as heck and not optimized at all.

But the decoding speed should be blazingly fast, as there is not much memory heavy lifting to do, and only a handful of int to float conversions.

As soon as i have a competetive rendering (aka Vulkan), i will add those to the benchmark. My guess is that rendering TinyVG should also be much faster than SVG due to not having any matrix transformations or hierarchies included in the format
As soon as a requirement is made that an employee be in the office on a semi-regular basis, remote works is no longer an option. Frequent WFH days are still possible, sure, but that is a different beast than remote work.

I wonder how much of the benefits you describe could be gained by instead flying everyone out for two weeks to work together in an office, maybe 3 or 4 times every year.
It isn't affecting pulling from GCR, but any builds are likely using a FROM line referencing dockerhub, and most CI solutions also run containers from Dockerhub

>Government didn't create this problem because it didn't mandate that employee healthcare be a benefit from employers. That was simply "laissez-faire capitalism",

No it absolutely was not. Employer provided benefits like health care became a part of the compensation package as a direct result of Government imposed Wage Controls during WWII, companies then had to get creative to attract talent because they could not simply offer more income like laissez-faire capitalism would have normally resulted.

It is increasingly frustrating that people do not understand American history enough to see all the time the government has causes a problem, then rides in with a novel solution to the problem they caused. Employers have zero desire to linked to health insurance, and laissez-faire capitalism most certainly did not create this link.

>the belief that the market is all-knowing and will eventually guide us to an efficient and effective equilibrium.

Almost no one that supports free markets believe this, it is a trope used by people to straw-man. free markets are not perfect, not by a long shot, they are however infinitely preferable to government, why? Market for the most part give you choice, when choice is taken out of the market one can often find government regulation behind that removal. Government is the removal individual choice, I like choice, I like freedom, I have no desire to have my healthcare controlled by the 535 morons in the US Congress, I know that makes me "crazy"
And that's the point: It's much more efficient to have one person to run interference for a team of 5+ developers rather than having them all fight with the CTO directly. They are paying, in part, to avoid have to deal with you directly.
You enjoy writing Lisp, but somehow find parenthesis way too confusing when editing manually? That's pretty hilarious.

If you take the expression above and format it in any half-decent editor, it's pretty clear. YAML is a shitshow, JSON is yuck and let's not talk about XML.
Interestingly of course, US population actually has access to guns, a large population who knows how to use them and ready supplies at home.

The idea that getting infected gives you immunity from getting infected is an interesting one: but the goal was not to get infected in the first place. Besides that, natural immunity as the result of an infection also doesn't last forever.

if you are coming from Android native dev, its not as deep of learning curve...

Think of it this way, where Android has every view as stateful or stateless, instead in Flutter it's broken up into Stateful widgets and stateless widgets.

The only increase in time is that in the data binding side as it's not prettied up with libraries that automate that side.
I would consider DeepL to be comfortably the best translation service for the 24 languages they support. Their decision to support a lot of the less spoken languages in the EU (which have quite terrible support in Google Translate) has made the internet much more accessible for older people in my country who generally can't read English.
The dedicated apps are being discontinued across the board. I have Google mesh Wifi system and get told that "Your network was migrated to the Home app" when launching the Google Wifi app. You can continue and it still works so far. You can also use the Google Home app now if you want to manage your wifi settings with a worse UX.

Edit: Being forced to use an app is not new. If you visit your routers ip address you get a single page that links to the app for the app stores. Funny enough it still links to the Google Wifi app and not the Google Home app.
Except google chose kotlin which is developped by another company, which itself has interest to widen the language support to the maximum. As a consequence we have kotlin native and kotlin multiplatform.

Apple used an 100% in-house solution but with the official long-term of having it run on the widest range of platform, and an open-source model. In reality, the language is driven toward things nobody gives a damn (swiftUI would have been almost just as good without the syntax sugar), whereas the official initial goals don't have any steam from Apple.

Shortsighted. The billionaires fund the development of technology that frees Earth from heavy metal resource extraction. Eventually, energy as well. It will be collected off earth.

Little bit of carbon now to keep the drive to space alive, and the rewards are endless.

We need off earth mining, and we need it now. Let the billionaires play. They can rig up some solar science fiction collection plants made from metals from asteroids,

I secretly think Elon Musk knows that for the green revolution to happen that metals need to come from celestial bodies. It's just an energy efficiency problem. The more battery storage in the world, the more efficient energy use and distribution. Can you imagine storing your wealth in energy and precious metals, in batteries?

The billionaires have to go play space dick swinging wars before we get there. Bulk metals and stored electricity will become the currency of the future.

Elon owns a tunneling company(extraction), a battery company (telsa) and a space company.

It all comes together, and it's coming together fast. It won't be the losers at the UN arguing about how to get their quotas of CO2 emissions that save the world, they may just as easily destroy it.

A supply chain from space solves everything but the generation problem (Elon has a company for that too, solar panels)

The problem is: If I build and sell a home with no parking, there's no legal mechanism that can stop the new owner from buying a car anyway, and parking it on the street.

That might be OK if there's physically no on-street parking within walking distance - this is the case in central London, for example. Or if I can convince someone on the council to pass a new law specific to my building.
This is the type of thing people mean when they bring up regulations for big tech companies.

When discussing these things, who are you angry at? Other than me now lol. Like even if the numbers that this article is calling into question were true, tell me what the precise crisis is? Is it simply, as you all seem to be implying, a moral crisis? Or is it a crisis or proper determents, of punishment?

I'll grant you I'm crazy for this, but I simply dont understand this implicit worldview that the primary problem in these matters is so many different bad actors; the moral conceit that some people are just "bad" and will steal, they were born and/or raised that way, and the most we can hope for is to keep them at bay.

I simply do not subscribe to that belief about people, I am not saying these things are free from injustices large and small. I just dont think its fruitful to think about it how you seem to be. We should try and put it all in the context it is happening in, not within trans-historical "society".

I dont expect you to agree, or to make many friends, but at least I don't live in a world full of evil people without explanation, and the only thing to do is find them and punish them.

Its a trade off.
