I think at the time the 5k Mac screens arrived only DisplayPort 1.2 was available, and probably some of the chips they use still only support that. But indeed - since time moved on and DisplayPort can now do 8k/60Hz it would be nice to see more screens going beyond 4K and supporting it.
Isn't it weird that some companies are willing to pay for just the brand? Or - is it perceived as a form of corporate sponsorship?
I'm familiar with cases of people wearing noise canceling headphones on a job site being killed because they didn't hear the beep and were struck by a machine they didn't notice.

The beep is for safety. The annoyingness makes it hard to ignore which is good for safety.

Anything that tries to replace it needs to keep safety up. It can't be easy to ignore. I can't require headphones on a person (what if the battery dies after 8 hours and they are working a 12 hour shift... or any number of other things).

So many organizations are pushing safety. Governments who want to protect people. Insurance companies who don't want to pay the cost (and put requirements on construction companies). And people who don't want to die or get maimed.

A patent on an idea doesn't mean it works to get people to notice who have been around the equipment for 3 or 6 or more months. I would love to see some research on it.

That annoying beep works well so it's hard to replace.

Google doesn't need you to pay, they only need you to do your thing using Android, Chrome, Google Analytics, Google Search, Google Maps, etc. They will monetize on your usage. I'm OK with the concept, but the implementation ethics can be, to put it gently, debatable - most of the time people are not aware of the privacy implications.
Our marketplace delivers on what we are calling, Talent As A Business (TAAB) Model for the entrepreneurial talent. Founders don't come to look for technical co-founders, rather they come with a specific need or "an entrepreneurial opportunity, as we call it."

E.g. Let's take "Startup X" at "Idea" stage with a co-founder. This co-founder could bring an opportunity to "Build an MVP" with needs of a full-stack engineer, Product Manager, etc. For the respective skills, the founder would connect with entrepreneurial talent with these skills and the entrepreneurial talent would execute based on the scope of the opportunity.

Besides this, we've worked on an algorithm that factors an entrepreneurial talent's market experience and what we call "entrepreneurial talent value" to suggest equity/or cash compensation.

With the TAAB Model, entrepreneurial talent can trade their skills like currency while becoming co-owners or portfolio owners in startups where they executed on an opportunity.

As an entrepreneurial talent, you don't have to worry about "operations" or "sales" because it won't be within the scope of your opportunity.
Telegram moved out of Russia precisely so they wouldn't be under their influence, so that's wild speculation. If the argument is that the KGB (or is it FSB now?) might go and just put a gun to their head: they could do that to literally anyone anywhere, so it doesn't matter.

Telegram was in Berlin for a while but moved out of Germany for privacy/legal reasons as well (good call, considering that Germany is discussing trying to outlaw them) and moved to Dubai iirc.
Effing great article. I am starting down the path of learning rust and wondering how its mutable-first design and ownership model alleviate some of the problems identified in making C fast on contemporary machines.

> People are responsible for their own actions, that's where the line is.

In most countries on Earth there is another line as well to personal responsibility: age. Usually considered to be 18 years old when you are fully responsible for yourself, before that age there are numerous safeguards against harm to children (including provisions for their actions to not be considered on the same level as an adult).

You are pushing the personal responsibility line onto a 10 years old, think about that...
The article doesn't sustain what the headline is indicating.
In "a lot of ways", sure, but definitely not by the most common meaning of "program x runs on y architecture", and not the one being used by most people in this thread.

If you ask any random programmer if "Java runs on x86", 99% of them will say either "yes" or "I don't know what x86 is". Similarly, if you ask them "does Kotlin run on the SPARC architecture", they'll say "I don't know" and, if you give them some time to find [1], they'll amend to "no".

To be precise: the meaning being used by most programmers (and here) is "either the compiled binaries, the virtual machine, or the interpreter runs directly on the given architecture" - which clearly excludes MIT Scheme running on Rosetta, just as (to take a less controversial example) the fact that might be able to run the JVM on qemu on SPARC doesn't mean that the JVM runs on SPARC.

Thinking about the various levels of abstraction of VM's and interpreters is a fun exercise in general, but I don't think it's constructive in this particular situation.

Graydon has forgotten more about PLT than most of us will ever know. (And several of the folks who came after Graydon have PhDs…)

Early Rust didn’t have some of the things it had today, but we used to keep a list of papers that Rust either was inspired by or implemented the ideas from on the website, even if it was incomplete.

I also don’t believe that smart pointers in C++ count as affine? Move semantics in C++ work quite differently than in Rust. I could be wrong about that though, but given the whole copy by default thing, I’m not entirely sure that that counts. It might though.

Oh, and in the earliest days, literally Rust’s introduction inside of Mozilla, it was described as “ideas from the past, come to save the future.” Explicitly built on older PLT ideas that hadn’t made it mainstream yet. Rust may feel cutting edge for industry but it’s basically the opposite of avant garde theoretically speaking.
Yeah, a bit unsure what it does or what value it provides.

Yeah it's a shame. Android allows for a lot of cool apps that have access to control or record other apps. I assume FLAG_SECURE was added for banking apps and the like (it's on for my banking apps), so it's a great addition.

If Android really cared about its users, all it would have to do is permit user-prompted screenshots and screen recordings but still block other app access. I can't think of a time where I'd want my own phone preventing me from screenshotting, but I can see the use case for general screen access prevention.

I don't personally know a root-obly way to disable this, but xposed has the disable_flag_secure module that I'm weary of using because it removes the flag everywhere.

One question that is nagging at my mind with this: What if two programs require the same lib, how is this resolved?

Because, when I install progA, the lib is symlinked into the index, so when I now install progB, the lib is installed again if I understood correctly. Storage is irrelevant, the pkg manager sees there is a symlink, so it stays in place, all is well.

But now I remove progA, so what happens? progB is still present, still requires the lib, it is also still installed, but now the symlink, which refered to /Programs/progA/libs/thelib.so is broken. How is this situation handled?

This is absolutely not true, there are a ton of phones with better DAC/amp combos than the one on the Apple dongle (and even when the dongle is better, it's frequently not better by enough to be audibly different). Unfortunately some of the best analog audio came on phones that were made by LG who threw in the towel last year.
Looking at that paper, the criticism isn't around effects other than their ability to make things safer. The beeps are annoying but what else does a better or equal job?

Any solution that doesn't do an equal or better job will lead to more workplace injuries and deaths. Do we want that?

It's a trade-off. As someone who was around large construction equipment with all those beeps for some time, I would love to have a different solution.

It isn't "the KGB" anymore. In Russia it is now "the FSB". There are other KGBs in other countries such as Belarus but these aren't the KGB. (KGB is Russian for "Committee for State Security".)

"Along with its counterparts in Transnistria and South Ossetia,[1] it is one of the few intelligence agencies that kept the Russian name "KGB" after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, albeit it is lost in translation when written in Belarusian (becoming KDB rather than KGB)."
> Same could be said about disregarding societal needs in favour of individual rights.

Of course, which is why I said a balance is needed.

I'm not familiar with the jurisprudence of New Zealand or Australia, but the restrictions appear to be too aggressive from my point of view. You mention not being able to "go outside", which seems absurdly extreme with no scientific basis to support it (I'm assuming there were some caveats, but maybe not). I've seem extremely large protests in Australia regarding the lockdowns so apparently there is some difference of opinion re: the nature of the restrictions.

In any case "people who couldn’t temporarily go outside" doesn't seem to come close to describing the nature of the actual restrictions.

No I'm pushing responsibility onto the ADULT parents. Who controls what the kids do? Parents. Do you think merely putting an age restriction on alexa devices does anything? Yeah I've TOTALLY never seen any kids playing GTA, smoking, drinking, seeing R rated movies, accessing pornography etc.. Give me a break.

None of that is enforceable without parents making sure it's enforced.

>You are pushing the personal responsibility line onto a 10 years old, think about that

You are being ignorant about the reality of the world. Think about that.

I see you failed to provide an actual way of stopping children from accessing Alexa. Why don't you inform us all on how that will done?

If you rely on corporations to be the moral safety compass for your children you've already failed. I don't care what legal or political ramifications you put in place, it won't help. That is 100% not the way to deal with this.

So taken at face value, Denmark is doing a better job at protecting unvaccinated than vaccinated from Omicron infection. I don't really know what restrictions unvaccinated Danes face, perhaps it explains it? It does seem to indicate though that the vaccinated portion of the population is a bigger transmission problem than unvaccinated and whatever restrictions Danes face might be evened for the sake of rationality.

I needed a way to manage multi-channel fulfillment for my e-commerce businesses. We were using Zapier and Google Sheets, but it wouldn’t scale as orders went up. Learned to code, built a system, and turned that into a B2B SaaS.

If you’re thinking about starting a one-man business and are nervous, just take the leap. Before starting Openship, I would think multiple steps ahead and that felt daunting.

To me it’s like asking for a mass DM feature. Discord can’t stop you from messaging 100 people about an exciting new investment opportunity, but it’s not a workflow that we’d want to encourage so there’s not a UX primitive for it. (A sibling comment asks why Facebook and Google messaging apps let you export other people’s messages; I think they’re wrong, driven by an earlier era in UX design when people were focused much more on user power and much less on its downstream consequences.)
That is the thousand dollar question. How would we know Telegram isn't an FSB front

* The CEO isn't a developer

* We know practically nothing about their developers, they're all anonymous

* The server has access to overwhelming majority of messages (among fellow CS students only ~10% said they use secret chats, and most likely even they don't do that for every 1:1 chat. Furthermore, groups can not be E2EE at all, and neither can Win/Linux desktop chats)

* Journalists that went to see Telegram's offices at Dubai found an empty office, and their office neighbors said they've never seen Telegram developers let alone anyone enter the offices https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg8mWJUM7x4 They did speculate Telegram might be using Dubai for tax evasion.

* That being said, we know absolutely nothing about Telegram's financials, nothing official has ever been reported by the company. Yet the system manages to stay afloat year after year with 600M+ users.

I'd love to be able to give good reasons why Telegram can't possibly be an op, but hand-waved opt-in E2EE for some clients, is the only one I can find, and that encryption has been most effective in online debates defending Telegram's bad security model.

Remember, also, the movie was “advised” by Bradley so he looks better and Patton looks worse. Discipline is more than just neat clothes - it’s remembering to do the boring or difficult things that reflects one training or doctrine.

And it’s not a documentary and I can’t imagine people going to a normal movie wanting to watch commentary on how to deploy infantry/tank teams, choose ground or the strengths/weaknesses of separating divisions vs. keeping them together. There are a number of good books that discuss this.
SQL is a special purpose language. Special purpose languages can be amazing (and SQL certainly is), but here we’re comparing general purpose languages.

In this context, the question is more, are Lisp or Haskell, or Python 10 times as productive as C? I used to think so, but now I seriously doubt it.

I mean, the reason I’m so much faster at writing small Python programs than I am at writing equivalent C programs, is because Python’s standard library is so damn huge. This is not a case of the language being more productive, this is a case of the work already being done.
Why would anyone want to take a degree in this!? It would be horribly dull.
You’re not alone. My startup is specifically going against the trend and trying to hire in just two locations (Austin and SF), because our founding group feels the same as you. So far when we’ve been recruiting people we lead with “we have two offices and strongly prefer candidates work in one of them.” It either ends the conversation or is our #1 selling point.

I think over time the market will discover what percentage of people want remote and which percent want in-person, and then whatever that percentage is, the distribution of companies going remote or not will match.
>Saying the runbook isn’t perfect is not a specific treatment plan.

Of course, that's the point I'm trying to make. Doctors have very limited opportunity to replace the runbook with a specific treatment plan because, at least based on my limited observation, they are not allowed to create specific treatment plans without the runbook.

>The rules are very loose for studies on terminal people,

The patient I was working with was terminal and the only rule that was loose seemed to be the ability to abandon a treatment plan early when it stopped showing promise.

>but allowing random treatments without being part of a study has minimal utility. Something might prolong someone’s life but you have no way to verify and cancer treatment very often kills people before the cancer.

Minimal utility to medicine maybe, but not to the individual. If a person invests hundreds or thousands of hours investigating adjuvant therapies, reviewing trial outcomes and talking to PI, researchers, clinicians and trial coordinators, I'm of the opinion their primary oncologist should at least entertain a suggestion, not just dismiss the conversation with 'that's not standard of care'.
