I have Windows 10 because Windows 7 stopped updating and some software can have some problems with it, otherwise I would totally continue using it. I plan to do the same with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

I have enough crap every time I install Windows 10, needing to use ShutUp10, other "debloaters", and having to use the task scheduler to remove telemetry tasks, so I don't need more things to delete with Windows 11.
Milkdrop was super impressive.

As with all things there is a balance. I’ve removed many physical things (whole categories of things in some cases) from my life, but at the same time I have a full home gym, more tools than I really need and more bikes than my wife thinks I need.

In some areas I would be considered Spartan and in others indulgent. The key is paying attention to what things/experiences make you happy and spend your time and money there, regardless of what other people think.

Getting rid of your stuff should only be a priority if it brings you some quality of life improvement - otherwise buy all the stuff you want.
It definitely is already happening. Especially with the PS5/Xbox shortages, lots of kids got the Quest 2 as their Christmas present this past year. A report back in November has it marked at 10 million units sold, which is pretty significant considering the history of VR adoption.
The basics of assembly aren't bad, but there's a lot of bad tutorials out there. Look for the ones that start by explaining what a processor register is.

Nice! I wonder what is the licensing, if any, for the entries in the IUMA collection.
Reminds me of a time, we had a new site that was going to run on GCP, we had been using a couple co-located servers for years.

When everything was moved to production, URL went live, nobody ever did any kind of bandwidth checking, caching, no CDN, no cost tracking. $10,000 in our first week. That's about 1/4 what our total spend on the co-located servers was for the whole year. Boss flipped his lid and wanted to kill the new guy who was on the project.

After about 2 years we got rid of all the co-located stuff and were spending about 1.5x, but we had more apps, they served heavier pages, etc.
Looking at their database schema (table "auth_user"), it looks like the user passwords are stored unencrypted and without salt?
I hacked my motivation by making cycling to work my exercise (~1h, 12km/day). Now I have "covid belly" :(
We (Ireland) had some brutal lockdown restrictions for quite a while, including a 5km distance-from-home limit. I could get stopped by police twice daily simply doing the grocery shopping.

But it's nearly springtime here, and things are improving now.
> Can you elaborate on your issues with VNC? I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to 'steal a session.

With RDP on Windows, if I stay logged in with programs running and walk away from my computer and remote in to it, I will get the same session I left open. Unlike VNC, this session will resize everything to fit my client's preferences because it isn't just passing screenshots or a video feed of the desktop back.
Until a few weeks ago I would not have cared to click this link, let alone read all of the article. But that has changed: I recently watched the BBC television series "Detectorists"; not everybody's cup of cake, as it is pretty slow going, but "It’s good-natured and charming, and there’s really something admirable about a series so singularly dedicated to making you feel good"

My Uni had this weird notion of teaching assembly with made up processors. It was some professor's hobby to write emulators with a semi-graphical environment that showed the registers, and so on.

I didn't buy it. We should have used real processors or, at least, those fantasy processors should have been reflections of real ones. I thought then that we should have started with 8-bit processors.

Anyway, later we had a chance to do some work with real 8086 assembly and that was a lot more exciting.
A note to readers: it's not always a good idea to put automated software installation in a place that users don't expect it.

I've seen that kind of approach cause a ton of issues the moment that the software was used in a different environment than the author expected.

It's much better IMO to fail with a message about how to install the missing dependency.

>How is this relevant to median income/wealth measured over time?

Because the age and dominant generation of the population massively affects the median household wealth. It's why the median wealth of Japanese Americans is significantly higher than Hispanic Americans. The median age of the Japanese American population is almost double that of Hispanic Americans.
You’re saying that you trust the government a lot in making sure the dollar value stays stale, however, it has lost 30% or more since the start of the pandemic if you look at price increases of commodities, so you are already very wrong.

It might not matter to you that sending cross border transactions have very high fees, because you live in a first world country and are rich, but 99% of the world aren’t as rich as you.
I like that, maybe we have to build up a knowledge base of wisdom (probably learnt through the hard way), and warn if the conditions are met or at least a list of the things to note. Then the cloud cost alert being a fallback safety net.
In my 20s I spent more than 6 figures to travel world. I cannot imagine a single "thing" that will ever come close to giving me a similar experience.

It completely altered my life, consciousness even.

If a Lambo can replicate that, I will gladly save money to buy one down the road.
This feels like a straw man argument. Who was saying you should not own a set of tools, nice kitchen wares, or exercise equipment? Some people, I’m sure, but not the economists (or psychologists or whatever) who found the “experiences produce more happiness than things” effect, nor most of the people who use this principle to guide their purchases. The idea is that a vacation does more for you than buying a new car instead of a used one (i.e., that this applies to purchases made with disposable income/for fun), not that you should eschew pots and pans in favor of purchasing restaurant experiences. Further, I think most people who generally prefer experiences to things acknowledge that acquiring thoughtfully chosen objects can be a very good idea.
I wonder it there were similar considerations back in 1939 ("Just let them occupy Poland, war is dangerous and costly, etc."). Spoiler: at the end you will have both war and pay economical price.
> It's sad that those software isn't available in Linux.

It truly is, the only part on music production that is keeping me is not even the DAWs themselves (I mainly use Cubase and Reaper, and Reaper already offers a Linux build, which works well), it's the VST plugins, which rarely if ever offer Linux versions.

Other music software I make heavy use of: Transcribe!, which offers a linux build and Musescore, which is open source and runs on Linux as well.
A thing can't kiss you on the beach while watching the sunset.
When you are growing, it’s a no brainer. When you are at steady state it depends.

As a case in point, I worked in standing up a critical system in a large enterprise a few years ago. We spent about $12M on compute, storage, networking, etc. At operational state, it was about 40% cheaper than AWS. The problem is, it all sat there for 6-18 months filling up before we fully hit that state.

With a cloud provider, you pay a high unit cost but if you engineer intelligently your costs should move with utilization. Except for government, most entities generally want to see opex move with revenue and prefer to minimize capex where possible.

Dumb question: in Cryptonomicon, there's a character named "Goto Dengo". Is Goto used as both a first and last name, or is the notion of first and last name something that doesn't map cleanly between English and Japanese?
OpenAPI must die. It allows to describe REST in a quite limiting manner. There's only one way to implement callbacks. There is no Websocket support nor any hint at async communication protocols.

OpenAPI is OK for prototyping, but production-grade performance-tuned software will likely break out of what OpenAPI allows to spec.

It seems that the heart of the controversy is a simple technical question that should be easy to answer: do radio altimeters pick up C band 5G signals?

If so, it appears they'd be operating far out of range and should get fixed, no?

Either way that question answers, the public fuss about this suggests strongly that there's some other agenda in play. Do the parties involved here fumble other co-ordination tasks so badly? they work together on other joint concerns all the time, successfully; what's the difference here that has them dropping the ball with such publicity and 3 Stooges grade buffoonery?
This. It will fall like a hammer, and nobody is really seeing it coming. It may seem like I'm trolling, but I think this has the potential to result in global riots in a few decades.
While I agree that you don't need to consume or overengineer these things, I admit that doing these things on a different place and somehow committing some money to it kind of forces people to keep doing it whereas doing it at home may make it boring (for some people) and you stop altogether.
Go download Exapunks, Shenzhen IO, and TIS-100. I didn’t have that option when I was in your position, so I read Intel’s pentium programming manual and made a Winamp viz plugin instead.
Is it really developed on Windows if Windows is solely only used as thin client to access something else? I'd say for examples #2 and #3 the development OS is definitely Linux.

#1 is the only where I'd lean towards "Windows", since WSL tends to involve a much more split workflow, where a lot of your interactions happen outside the VM.
Indeed, and you can't buy that experience either (well, I supposed you could, but I'm going to argue it's not going to be as good as the real thing).

In the Caribbean you get unlimited free energy from the sun, considering that solar panels are very cheap you could just rig the system to dump all excess power to the water heater, but considering you already get unlimited solar power you could just place the water tank in the sun to heat water. If that is not enough a home made aluminum can heat pipe plus water pump or just a long black hose with a water pump would nearly boil your water during the day.

Linux Desktop evangelists being like this also makes people not want to switch. Who wants to deal with a community like that?
Can afford neither, sorry.
At this point, it's more likely that I permanently switch to Linux than it is that I upgrade to Windows 11. I was pacified and relatively content with Windows 10, but Microsoft is rapidly destroying the good will they accumulated with stuff like WSL (even if that's just a way to keep people from switching to Linux) and VSCode (which I might continue to use on Linux).
Not really. We all know poor people couldn't really do it, just as they couldn't do expensive sports and other expensive but still usual hobbies, for example.

But this guy is not the only upper middle class person in the world - he's from a country with the largest, richest middle class of all countries; and so discussing the money here is IMHO the more out of touch thing - there is more people in the US with enough money for this stunt than there is poor people.

Can't we just celebrate the incredible achievement that literally not a single other not-poor kid was able to do (compare to the number of semi-pro hockey players - hockey is notoriously expensive)?
1.5x is pretty good.

We overspent quite heavily on our on-prem stuff for a game I helped launch, for political reasons the next game ended up running on the cloud.

The price was roughly 10x before discounts. With our heavy discounts and a wide amount of slimming down/cost optimisation (easily 3 months of work) we got it to 2.3x

There will always be a need for sysadmins/cloudops/devops for that environment, so we didn't save any headcount either.

I can't imagine getting anywhere close to parity in costs, Functions-as-a-service ended up costing more than compute instances too so we went back to compute instances in places where we thought we'd get away from it.

That said, it was a lot nicer to use!
I vaguely recall back in one of my engineering classes we did the math on turning all of the stationary bikes at the gym into power generating units.

I believe the result was that the value of power generated was so utterly dwarfed by the costs in copper, inverters, etc. - not to mention additional maintenance costs - that it was at least an order of magnitude outside of making sense.

Some of those economics certainly have changed over the last 15 years but many (I’m looking at you, copper) are rather fixed and won’t go down over time.

> Here’s a good explanation:

As an American living in Ukraine, I can say that that the guy in the video obviously don't know Ukraine he's talking about.

He starts off from NATO expansion and Russian position on that. But little did he know that before 2014 (Crimea and Easter Ukraine war), no one here seriously thought of NATO. Russia was the biggest economical partner. NATO was considered no-quite-friendly entity, composed of foreigners, why joining?

Everything turned upside down after 2014 -- Russia basically pushed Ukraine into NATO (although NATO made it clear they don't see Ukraine as their member as well, their idea is to increase members safety, not decrease it).
If Russia didn't annex Crimea, it would be simply impossible.

Also he is wrong on how Russia quickly moved to Crimea in 2014. He is unaware that preparation for annexation began in 2011 (working with local governments and municipalities), it wasn't quick, it was planned (very well planned to tell the truth), and everyone here knows that.

> Also, are you eating much insect protein yourself or are you more hoping other people will do it one day?

The latter. The only insect protein I can find for human consumption is far more expensive than the pasture-raised organic meat I primarily eat. Sadly, I'm too used to modern Western cuisine to stomach eating an insect that hasn't been ground down to fine powder, but I will definitely buy some if/when prices are more reasonable.

I have lots of bookmarks and folders in my Chrome browser. In the past I was able to easily reorder them, drag and drop from address bar to folder, or between folders, etc. But now it's not working, and the whole bookmark manager is unusable.

Is there any solutions for this?

Preferably to repair in the Chrome itself, or maybe to add some extension.

In the worst case I'd like to export bookmarks to some external bookmark manager.

One of the things I encourage kids to do is make up their own games, may that involve a creative take on tag or putting together a checkers board with a piece of paper and painted rocks. The reason is simple: we put too much value on attaching happiness to money. I certainly don't want to see their happiness evaporate simply because they cannot afford it.
I don’t think the point is that you can sit on your couch and remember the experience and derive value from that. It’s more that you undertake experiences with other people and then when you see those people you reminisce about those experiences. When my friends and I hang out we talk about holidays we went on 15 years ago. We relive it, laugh, different people remember different parts. We can repeat this every time we see each other and it never gets old.

Why not directly Hetzner|Linode > Cloudflare?
I think the author misses the point. We live in a culture where people frequently buy things and then never use them. Those are the things people mean when saying "buy experiences, not things". Putting money into tools for a hobby you already do is buying experiences.
Why routing alogrithms from different maps don't always give the same route
The "things" in the charitable reading of "buy experiences not things" are about the throwaway consumerism stuff that ends up in landfills. Stuff like fast fashion or kids toys that children get immediately bored of the day after Christmas.

A minimalist can get rid of all the unworn clothes cluttering up the closet while also buying a sewing machine to make clothes the wearer truly loves. The advice to "buy experiences not things" shouldn't mean sacrificing the sewing machine and only use that money for a trip to see a Paris fashion show.

I think reasonable people already know that many hobbies require buying things.
> I think Rust developers are in an interesting position right now that they're not as abundant as other developers, since Rust is probably still in "early adoption" stage. So they can use that as leverage in salary negotiations, maybe? But it also comes at a cost of a much smaller job market for them, too.

No, you are viewing that from a technological perspective - what you assume only holds if "Rust" was a requirement.

If staffing a project is much harder (and maybe more expensive) when using Rust as language, then Rust will not be chosen if C++ is an option.

Most of the things I own are to enable experiences. I enjoy kayaking and backpacking. Is my kayak a thing or is my kayaking an experience. I'd say it fits both.
Different people have different ideas of the meaning of "understanding". Take simple concepts like "time" and ask a physicist.
This! When people "buy experiences" and travel/visit etc, I just don't really find it interesting. I buy things because I enjoy doing stuff with them. I buy a camera and a drone because I like taking shots. I buy a new computer because I like coding/design/video editing and it does it faster. On the other hand, I've never found traveling an enjoyable activity of any kind. It's just extra stress for me (unless there's some specific reason that excites me that justifies it all). I buy tools that enable me to create more stuff, and I'd always pick it over many experiences that I'd buy.

Good to see that I'm not really alone.
