Huh I usually like Perell's stuff but this one seems a bit empty, like a cream puff without filling. The examples seem weak, for example the McKinsey story about smartphones is vague. Sure, people get things wrong, and groups certainly do. I wonder what the purpose of this piece is. Maybe there's 100 more pieces coming influenced by this dinner, this was just getting the crumbly cork out of the wine bottle.

Or maybe the secret is dinner with Pete was boring af.

The point of the article is: "BTC POW bad because too much energy". So, author is allowed to discuss, bitcoin, energy, waste, other equivalent technologies, but I cannot bring up other industries which also waste energy and whose use is questionable? That's the sense or logic if you prefer.
Can you be specific then?
Like, you are aware that you have a 2 week period minimum, and a 6 month period for defective wares. There's also many shops that have more than a 2 week period because it's good customer policy. It's not just Zalando, I checked the next biggest German store (Otto) and they have a 30 day free return policy.

By contrast, in the US it all depends on store policy and, apparently, luck. I had some pretty bad customer experiences in the US, and there was nothing I could do then.

For example, this whole Saga on GamersNexus (check other videos) is a good indicator that the US system may not be perfect
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fnXsmXzphI

As Steve says in the video, in the US you have no recourse. There's no law. The shop in question didn't feel like being "nice" and the person is out of 500$. For Steve, this amounts to a scam, but the burden of proof is on him.
For specifically this reason, the EU has a law that says otherwise.

I suspect this question's answer was more just an opportunity to write what he did for comedic effect, as opposed to any actual impossibility of answering the question being asked.

I mean, his entire writing career was dedicated to inventing details about people who don't actually exist. That's writing.
Pretty nifty, there are a couple of other OS solutions very similar (perhaps even forked or used by Statsig-io) out there: https://dev.to/betteruptime/top-open-source-status-page-tool...
the technologies you mention are well covered by HTML5 and JS today

Browser vendors could have decided to choose the pure Javascript route (eg asm.js, SIMD.js), but for now have decided to throw their weight behind WASM instead: SIMD.js got canned in 2017, whereas SIMD support for WASM shipped in browsers last year.

Regarding your second point about embedded devices, I can easily imagine WASM being used in the class of devices targeted by Java ME[1]. I'll of course happily defer to people who actually know something about the topic: If you think there's no legitimate use case for WASM in that space, so be it.

Shameless plug: I’m building a QA web app where you can easily create a QA server for your projects, and users can join your server with a click. Basically a stackexchange with Discord onboarding UX. Shoot me an email if you’re interested. My email is on my profile.
I use Discord in the browser. There is no way I'm aware of to tell which 'server' the notification sound came from, making the sound a completely useless annoyance.

Well, Sony tried to sue me for disclosing a vulnerability in the PS3. This is what they claimed:

> Violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act; violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; contributory copyright infringement; violations of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act; breach of contract; tortious interference with contractual relations; common law misappropriation; and trespass.

Yes. Trespass.

So yes, companies have tried to sue over disclosure of security vulnerabilities in the past. In this one they even ended up settling with one of the other defendants (whom they may have had a bit more of a case against, thanks to the DMCA if nothing else), but I think they realized they had no case against me and most of the others and dropped the lawsuit. They still filed it, though, and I had to get a lawyer, which was not a fun few months.
Looked through the repo readme, as I had free time. First advice, enable emacs as a daemon, if you haven't already. And replace most of emacs shortcuts you use, as in keyboard shortcuts or EDITOR to emacsclient, helps with startup.

-> Or it stops activating modes that I hooked to specific buffers.
Maybe because some buffers try to activate two or more modes by default. Do try looking through that. One major mode and many minor at the same time is what works.

1. Resources, primarily, documentation for emacs, org-mode. And few blogs which extensively do emacs articles. Google search does work good for those.

2. It is not like you'd turn into an expert after debugging just some issues. It will take time, a lot of it probably. And you will feel like you did waste some time. Take what you want from it.

3. I used doom for some time, before making my own config. If you feel configuring is time consuming, you can choose one (Doom/Space) and forget about it. With the types of devices we normally have, a few seconds is nothing. but preparing your own config gives you a new look into emacs, and helps in future trouble-shooting as you know what is in the configs.

Besides the ones mentioned in the other comment, Halide I think is a good model of the kind of approach needed, but that is somewhat domain-specific. So expressing the problem in a sufficiently abstract form that the compiler has many freedoms in organizing how the computation in concrete terms takes place. The IPSC approach seems solid as well even though it's much less ambitious and doesn't do data layout optimizations.

An important nontechnical problem with these is that there is such a long way to travel for a language to reach widespread adoption, needing credible long term sponsorship and commitment from a broad shouldered user community or private organisation, etc.

I think you’re in the majority with the rest of us. Like you I hate most ads, and I suspect most people do too.

That said, one way to look at it from an advertiser’s perspective is that if you spend money on anything, then relevant ads must exist, and they will continue to try to find them. If they can’t find them, they’ll still continue to spam us with irrelevant ads because they still work a little; statistically, a few people will buy the product for every million people who see the ad.

I spend money, and I even sometimes spend significant amounts of time trying to figure out what to buy when I need something I don’t know a lot about. I also spend far more time than I want to trying to ignore ads I don’t care about on the internet and YouTube, just like I used to with TV.

Those are two separate time sucks, and I’d love to have ads at least be teaching me impartial information about whatever it is I’m shopping for, and help me figure out what I need. It would save me time if I could merge ad watching time with shopping research time. Google and advertisers would love that too. But the level of invasive privacy compromise that would bring would be a million times worse than the bad situation we already have, I’m not willing to accept it.
> But if you don't turn your TV on at all, I have to ask - where do you watch Netflix et al?

I watch video content on my 15.6" laptop with a retina display. The picture is subjectively larger, brighter, and sharper than on a TV because it's closer to my eyes. It's like in a movie theater but with lots of privacy. So I prefer it this way. I would turn on a TV only if I'd want to watch something with another person, I guess.
So they deserve equity for being a critical customer? I still don't follow the logic.
> Still the myth allows react native and flutter to survive relevancy despite their major ergonomics and expressive inferiority, but for how long? People are used to experience that Electron apps are usually better and faster.

My concern with Ionic/React native isn't speed (I'm sure it's good enough), it's maintainability. I've been burned enough by the JS ecosystem to stay away from it when I can. It usually takes around 1 hour to update 6 months worth of Flutter framework & packages updates, I can't say the same about the javascript ecosystem.

On paper it looks awesome, in practice I just don't want to deal with those maintenance issues anymore.
I did some contract work for a company that hadn't rebooted a couple of servers in almost 5 years because they were afraid of them not coming back up.

It's just that a marketplace based on at least theoretically selling unique copies of artwork can't really exist in this particular manner. Who made a given piece of art, and who has the right to sell it isn't an engineering issue, and makes no sense whatsoever to do in a decentralized manner.

Back when magazines were printed on paper there were whole genres of magazines that 95+% ads with essentially no articles at all. Fashion, and, in the 90s, computing were examples of this. There were lots of them on the newsstand.

And “advertorial” is not a web-era idea; the travel, sports, entertainment etc sections of the newspaper, and most of local television news, looked like news but were essentially all paid content one way or another.

That's the reason I still prefer Bear's approach of using nested tags as the main organizational tool. If I study a maths topic today, I can tag it like for example #2022/02/12, #studies/M<module number>, #maths/<topic> and find it in the future easily, no matter what path to it I think of first.

> letting corporations influence our behavior

one of the foundational problems with this sort of analysis is that "corporation" isn't really very well defined for this context.

If I live in some imaginary small town 1800's western America, and the owner of the general store convinces me to stock up on something that they happen to have an excess of, is this "corporations influencing our behavior" ?

If I live in some imaginary mid-size town in 1950's USA, and the local Ford dealer is on the radio telling me all about how their latest cars are just the absolute best, and this persuades me to get a Ford for my next car, is that "corporations influencing our behavior" ?

If anyone says anything to me that changes the behavioral trajectory I might otherwise have been on, how do I know if that's corporations influencing my behavior, or "just what people do" ?
Douglas Adams was a comedic genius. His writings covered science fiction, philosophy, and adventure… and were constantly amusing and hilarious. He wasn’t really a world builder in the sense of Rowling, Tolkien, or Martin. His worlds were often never fully explained as that wasn’t the point of his work. His work was to raise a laugh and provoke thought, not to convey a complete imagined world. The original radio broadcast was in ‘78. The BBC TV series was in ‘81. The game was in ‘84. The books were released in ‘79, ‘80, ‘82, ‘84, and ‘92. It is safe to say that in the earliest tellings, Arthur would not have had a computer. If he had, it would have been one of the 8bit early micros. By ‘84, he’d likely have had a Macintosh 128k. By ‘90, he could have had a plus, se, 2, or something similar.

The real answer is, Douglas Adams was a Macintosh fan. It’s that simple.

Way back when Adams also posted occasionally on his own Usenet group. When he did the answers were often very similar. I got the distinct impression of someone who had found something he was very good at but not particularly interested in doing.

Figma might be clunky, but I found it's flexibility to be a massive benefit over other tools.

Having decent relationships doesn't mean you derive your validation and self-worth from them, it just means you behave in such a way that you get along with people close to you.

Also the need to be well-liked does not mean you have decent relationships, quite the opposite. You may find yourself sacrificing things you hold dear in order for others to like you and that's not a decent relationship in my opinion.

Our Universe is normal Its biggest anomaly, the CMB cold spot, is now explained
So for a single critical section per thread, there's a small fixed overhead for every scheduling event in the system (the changes to the scheduler to check for whether the IP is in the critical section), and there's a restart cost if rescheduling actually happens during the critical section, but there's no additional code size or instructions on the critical path itself. But once managing multiple critical sections per thread this is no longer true...

Seems like interesting tradeoffs with an approach where the kernel manages a scheduling generation number in shared memory with each thread that gets incremented each scheduling, and having the user code responsible for checking at the end of the critical section whether it matches the value at the beginning. Probably an instruction or three less (and less pointer chasing) per scheduling event, but it eats a register during the critical section and grows the critical section by a few instructions, which also (for very tight critical sections) increases the chances they need a restart...
I doubt that it's pytest-specific, but the idea of using a unit test tool to explore a new problem space and build up to working product is powerful.

This is pretty cool. My dad was a Polaroid salesman in the 70’s, so I still have 2 of these and the 1 with the sonar autofocus. Have some of the sales material and his travel case for doing demos.

It’s sad. They really bet the farm on Polavision[1] and completely ignored video forcing that original vision of instant moving pictures forward. Beta and VHS w/ audio and working on a TV just made the product look dumb.

Then I could rant about how their sales practices killed them as well, but that’s likely full of hearsay bias.

This reminds me of reading Tom Clancy’s “Rainbow Six” many years ago after being a little familiar with the Game. I recall one of the characters doing some espionage work and unpacking his explicitly stated Macintosh PowerBook. Clancy was an avid Mac fan and I feel like a lot of us at the time (especially the rough days of the mid 90s) it was a nod to other Mac fans.

I never finished the book, I wasn’t really into Clancy.

In the context of security policy, open source projects are "vendors". It doesn't matter that it's not a company. You only care about the result (when things are patched and released), not how it happens.

Of course with open source you can fix it yourself, but in this context the stats are about how upstream behaves.
You can't own it on a blockchain in any way respected by any government that you'd care about, so that's pretty immaterial.
