> What happens when an European or Chinese competitor launches another 42,000 satellites?

Then there are 84,000 satellites in orbit and room for literally millions more? Space is big. Each satellite is smaller than a car. What happens if a company produces 42,000 more cars? Will it blanket the Earth? Of course not!
I think you might just be a bit confused when trying to conceptualize just how much room we're talking about here.
My partner and I use hot water bottles extensively (we both grew up in immigrant households that used them). We have a hot water boiler that we schedule to run in the early hours of the morning before any of us are up to use cheaper energy and have the water ready for us. We use the boiler for hot water bottles, for brewing tea, for brewing coffee (well I'm picky with coffee so I reheat the water to exact temp on an old-fashioned stove kettle), for boiling noodles or pasta, for cleaning caked on grime, etc etc.

I'd suggest that over redoing your outlet, though you will have to periodically descale your water boiler, because of sheer utility and portability (you can move and you'll still be able to just plug it into a standard 1-phase 120V outlet.)

A friend gave it to me for Christmas as a gag gift, and as part of the joke escalation cycle I decided I would read it so I could bring it up sometime later. Bad idea :(
I do. Data management and visualisation for local data store. This stuff is private and can not really go into cloud.

Was using Java Swing until very recently. Switched to Kotlin JS in browser, not sure it can count as desktop anymore.
I've not worked on a desktop app in a while but when I did, maybe 4 years ago, I found a lot of resources googling "MVVM C#" and following tutorials there. Microsoft tends to have a lot of decent tutorials on WPF Gui development. More recently I've been playing with C++ and Qt which has decent documentation too, but to me is far more complicated than Visual Studio and WPF. Most C# textbooks tend to have sections on GUI development too.
We will never be free of WhatsApp if we continue caving and using the service, making it more valuable to others.

Every time you cave and use Facebook spyware, you make it harder for the next person.

Stop using tools that make the world worse. Tell your contacts to install Signal instead.

You must be unreachable on WhatsApp, so that the utility of the app is not increased for others.
Sucking the Colorado river dry probably has a lot to do with it.

Taiwan was (is still?) in a drought and semiconductor manufacturing requires so much fresh water that TSMC was bringing in huge tanks on ships from the mainland.
All factors baked into the managers decision to accept special orders.

This is just the server disagreeing with both the boss and customer, and then wondering why they might be having a problem with a satisfaction based compensation system.
Low geopolitical risk is probably one of the best factors.
For a fab, every US location is probably better than Taiwan. That's to say: it probably doesn't matter that much where they put it.
Ok, but by how much? 1% per rainy day? 0.001% ? 20%?

Due to relativity effects your head ages slower than your feet. But that's such a small effect as to be meaningless.
>Regressing by ~10x isn't a compelling argument.

If it's loading faster than user "consumes" assets, it doesn't matter how fast it is. It's not different for native games that allow you to play earlier than the whole thing finishes downloading.

>And you somehow don't see the problem?

Don't stupidly update the entire thing every time? Send deltas? Don't update as often? As for not having background updates it's a minor issue anyway (I for example don't start Steam unless I'm going to play), and there are Progressive Web Apps and Service workers to solve this issue.

>You don't have to suffer the web's treadmill of being a decade+ behind to have that.

Whoever needs the latest features can of course use a native platform. For developers who don't need the latest features or especially heavy graphics, WASM+WebGPU will be a viable option. That's all.

>You can both be a native game and get all the benefits of it and not pay anyone an app store fee!

And the user has to risk trusting me executing native code, which would definitely lower conversion rate.
I think the incremental ROI they would need to involve themselves in a new area would be pretty high. They aren’t going to dedicate a 9-10 digit sum to anything without expecting a much higher sum in return.

It’s probably true that you can’t operate properly without an ID, and yet the US government is specifically avoiding the one necessary prerequisite to having reliable and convenient IDs: a complete list of its citizens, with place of residence and a mandatory assigned unique identifier.

It fuck people coming and going. You can’t get an ID if you don’t have a place of residence, and yet you can’t just go about your business without an ID.
Those consequences do not follow, because I am not asking for judges to interpret the law literally. If that's what you've read, we have a miscommunication here. There's an entire spectrum of interpretation from literal to "I personally know the guy who authored this law and I asked him what he meant."

The poster I originally responded to thinks we ought to be further right along this spectrum. I think we're either in a good place or if anything we ought to move a little further left. I don't think either extreme is desirable, and the left extreme is where we get those consequences you want to ascribe to me.

The justice system is already quite intolerant of such hacks. In the Ford case, they didn't even interpret the law differently. Instead, they determined—with evidence— that Ford was actually importing cargo vans and not passenger vans.
I wouldn't say it's intentionally designed to do this, but that it's a consequence. There's no good reason anyone would intentionally want to keep the poor poor, it's just bad design.
As recently as 25 years ago in the US, 24-hour businesses were rare, hours in general were much shorter (way fewer places open 'till 10pm or what have you) and damn near everything was shut down on holidays or even just Sundays. This always-open, open-all-holidays, business-runs-7-days-a-week thing is relatively new, even here. The change happened really fast, though, when it started.
I know next to nothing on black holes/star formation and astronomy in general, but isn't this a big deal? I thought a pretty big defining factor of black holes was that nothing (not even light!) ever escaped it?

ECMAScript Proposal: Grouping Arrays
All the popups blocking content and telling you to log in is reaching Pinterest levels of hostility. Truly dire.
The fact that these things beep and notify you make it just about impossible to use to track someone's movements without their knowledge, which isn't true with prior location tracking. Anybody using this nefariously would choose a device that doesn't make such tracking impossible.

What's craziest about this outrage to me is, if the anti-stalking feature weren't there, the most an average Joe would be able to use this for is to collect a fraction of the data about you that tech companies already collect. You're yelling at your fellow peasants because you suspect they're stealing meanwhile the King is openly pilfering everything.

I absolutely do think the dissonance of Mozilla's talking and actions need to be discussed in this context. They position themselves as pro-privacy and anti-tracking, but ship tracking add-ons (like this one), have telemetry that is nearly impossible to disable in their web browser, and beyond that, have the ability to push arbitrary code or configuration changes to your browser without consent or notice (including, apparently, re-enabling telemetry once disabled).

> pointers by definition do not alias and it is impossible to make them alias

This is equivalent to saying that pointer arithmetic is disallowed. Pointers are by their nature in the C virtual machine offsets into a linear memory space, so for any two pointers, x and y, there exists a c such that (ptr_t)x+c == (ptr_t)y, and thus there can always be aliasing.
Original blog post author here! Thanks for the kind words!
Yeah but I'm guessing you wouldn't be willing to pay them that now.

Their point was the high risk versus the high reward. Even if investors gave such money to thousands of longevity startups, would they produce something that makes all the investing pay off better than what they sunk into them? (without pivoting to something other than longevity).
For reference I'm taking my shot with https://github.com/wailsapp/wails (webview2 supported on Windows) and https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js for a PDF processing related use case.

Wails because I imagine extensive Golang based services (preference/experience) in any cloud env. .NET would be my other approach for O365 based integrations.

Rust has something similar to wails, https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri . Then there all the traditional native vs cross-platform methods.

No approach, or cross platform framework, really seem quite right. But I figure time and money would be the important factors in any serious avenue I want to take things.
I'm glad that he and I seemingly share the same goals. That is: the downfall of Twitter. Firing everyone in sight and deploying dark patterns for short-term revenue seem like good first steps.

You nailed it, battery is the only downside I’ve had, not awful but probably say 3 hours of video playback, or 5-6 hours of web use. Haven’t used it unplugged all that much so very rough guesses. Bigger problem with my fedora install at least is battery draining while the lid is closed.

Overall great machine

Edit: I may be missing software updates that improve this, no idea
You're correct. A statue such as this one is difficult to interpret correctly unless you're actually standing before the statue, right where the viewer is supposed to be standing. A photo taken from a different angle skews the interpretation.

When we look at the photo, the American and African natives have a downcast glance, as if they're subservient. However, the statue was originally placed on high. The photo loses that. From the proper viewing angle, the two natives are meeting the gaze of the viewer. That conveys a completely different message.

They are on foot to make it clear that they are acting as guides, which wouldn't be clear if they were on horseback. Roosevelt is elevated on horseback because Roosevelt is the focus of the work. There is nothing wrong with that.

Roosevelt's gaze goes off to the horizon to convey the fact that he's the explorer here. There is nothing wrong with that.

The controversy is due to woke, self-righteousness, and anti-Western nihilism. If such sentiment is allowed to continue to metastasize, it will destroy civilization. Decent people need to push back.
I would guess they still deteriorate over years so the risk might actually remain stable.

> It still seems more viable to start with a standalone, offline, Desktop solution that individual enterprise employees might consider trying / e.g. something like an app that replaces excel with better efficiencies. Maybe while building some SaaS-like component (advanced processing in cloud, API integrations, etc) that still opens the door for non-enterprise users.

This is currently my approach -- not making a living (yet hopefully) -- but will report back soon. I have a baddie of a productivity tool that can fragment features to a few pay per use web APIs that I'll package with a front end for non-enterprise.

A slight tangent: It's very, very challenging to enable collaboration in these types of environments. Magic Wormhole [0] has been an interesting solution I've wanted to integrate, but haven't yet.

"There, done."

Except, we're not done.

YAML has multiple footguns like this, which I have to remember, forever. And anyone who works with YAML. It's unintuitive and confusing, and costs space in my brain that I really should be using for more important things.

Not to mention that if you -don't- know about these ahead of time, debugging them can be confusing.

A type system is marginally more work for decreased cognitive load and eliminating stupid, idiotic bugs that nobody should have to waste their time tracking down.

With IDE integration, the cost is pretty much negligible other than learning the syntax, which, c'mon, is not difficult and we're being paid to do it.

There are even tools like Dhall [0] that auto-generate yaml for us.

In the case of UI/UX, I don't want this.

I use Windows because it's not MacOS. I absolutely hate MacOS. Microsoft UI/UX designers using MacOS as inspiration is a critical bug, not a feature, as far as I'm concerned.

I want my taskbar to show labels. I want multiple windows of the same app to be a separate item on the taskbar so that switching between multiple windows of the same app is a single click. I want each window to have its own menu bar, rather than a single menu bar at the top. I want a taskbar on each monitor, each showing only the items on that monitor.

Windows 10 has all these as an option. If Win11 is imitating MacOS, all those go away.
ha, I'm doing the same on Mac! Reach out, maybe my (hopefully portable) backend/pdf module could help!

I'm guessing that very much depends on the jurisdiction. Those people that took $30m this week and all the previous thefts this year alone, they all had a plan for how to move that money and I've not seen many of them get caught...

According to https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/2021-crypto-scam-revenu... - scammers took in $7.7b in 2021 alone, if they couldn't do anything with those funds, doubtful they'd go the effort of stealing them :)

In my subjective experience, weed-induced brain fog goes away after about three days of abstinence. This is after heavy duty multiple times per day for months at a time levels of smoking. Cravings also go away after about three days. I don't smoke weed any more though because it tends to turn into the aforementioned balls to the wall smoking pattern every single time I pick it up. I've never had that issue with any other substance.
Not really binance would have a registry, and most likely comply with law enforcement.
I agree with that. Things like Fusion 360 are both desktop apps and SaaS. The desktop app checks that you have a subscription before it will let you use it, and various cloud things nobody wants are forced in. (Photoshop has a similar business model, now that I think about. Everyone wants to be a cloud storage provider instead of just taking money in exchange for a piece of software.)
If you're not interested in buying our hardware now, perhaps we can earn your trust over time with weekly updates & our first iteration shipped.

RE resolution issues: 35.5 PPD is the absolute bleeding edge pixel density for portable VR (in that there aren't any other portable VR headsets on the market right now with higher density than this). With that said, it's also still one doubling away from 60PPD, after which which the human eye stops telling the difference when you add more pixels. Up until this point, there are still many gains to be had.

Some people have reported using hacks to get Simula working in a Quest 2. If you'd like to try out our window manager, we officially support the Valve Index, HTC Vive, and HTC Vive Pro. Unfortunately, these headsets offer very low PPD, and no other tethered headsets on the market currently support Linux (which is why in part we decided to build our own).

Thank you! I submitted a paper to a conference this week but my advisor does not use LaTeX. You can imagine the suffering I had to go through during the draft process.

It's such a PAIN! to have to work on Word for any kind of scientific writing. The formatting issues make me want to cry. I'm also on Linux so no desktop Word client and using Word or google docs on the web is extremely slow and frustrating. LibreOffice Writer comes with some compatibility issues.

Anyone who is doing technical work and needs to have stuff in writing often definitely needs to learn Markdown at the very least, imo. You are needlessly limiting yourself and causing a lot of pain to collaborators by sticking to Word.

Also usefully, (2(a+1)^n-1) % a = (2a(a+1)^(n-1) + 2(a+1)^(n-1) - 1) % a = 1. So if you choose one of the 3k+1 primes, it's also guaranteed not divisible by 3.
