I wonder if there's a market in the U.S. for luxury fruits. I always hear about these incredible fruits available abroad that are only available in certain seasons, in certain climates, that decay quickly and travel poorly.

Presumably, you could grow god-tier mangoes year-round, right in the city, by simulating the right climate in fancy greenhouses - if you did it right, you wouldn't have an electric bill. If the mangoes really are as great as I've heard them described, I can imagine people would pay a huge premium for them. You could sell them to fancy restaurants, make ultra-luxury fruit baskets (I understand these are a big deal for Asians & Asian Americans), and eventually scale up to selling them to upscale grocery stores.
Some things felt noticeably faster to me, but that could of course be the placebo effect. More importantly, the CPU usage percentages reported by ps have fallen (those are actually large enough to measure in a few processes, because "100" means a single CPU thread and not the whole CPU). That implies that the CPU is in fact spending less time on some things.
Numbers for context:

$30B revenue, $16B current assets in 2021.

$4.8B profit on $47B revenue in 2019.
This isn't unusual - maybe the quantum is (though I have no idea if "$7.6B worth of travel" is large or small in whatever context the article is trying to make), but airmiles are awarded now with the expectation that the airline must fulfill them later. Maybe 30k miles gets you a 1 way trip now, normally valued at $200. In the future, they could devalue the miles and a 1 way trip costs 35k miles.

Either way, they must be accounted for so yes it's normal to see this on a balance sheet. Is it alarming if you're an investor? Perhaps only if you think there will be a "run on miles" where nobody buys tickets suddenly and they all use miles to fly instead. But the airline will never allow that, plus these are all magic tokens any way, so not sure what the relevance of this in the article is.
As I was reading, this question pops up in my mind.

Are the any recent resources with figures that shows how much energy ( in terms of Kw/H or something that a household uses, not in terms of Racks or Datacenter ) and time that is required to mine a bitcoin or crypto using different hardware?
No, currencies target low positive rates of inflation specifically to discourage their being viewed as assets.

The point of a currency is to serve as a medium of exchange, not as an asset to be held. That's why accounts where people are encouraged to "hold" currency actually exchange the currency for liquid assets like stock, money market fund shares, or an insured interest in a bank's general loan pool.

He created the world to tell the story; he didn't tell the story to create the world. The story is primary, and if a detail is irrelevant to the story, why invent it? Some writers do it the other way around: they invent a world and then make up stories that happen in it, but I don't think Adams approached writing in that way.
Often there'd be little choice. Finding land you'd be able to take over or get permission to clear that'd be possible to farm and not taken was not easy even back then.

I could be very wrong about this, and yes, it's also mostly wishful thinking, but my guess is Chrome will have to walk back V3 at some point. The reasoning is that V3 makes uBlock Origin impossible, and Chrome without uBlock (or any browser really) is unusable.

So maybe you can just wait? Although it may take a long time.

Also, FF said in May of last year (2021) that they would start accepting V3 extensions in "early 2022" [0] but I don't know if they have kept their schedule.

Bananas went (commercially) extinct decades ago. The things sold in stores today are a different fruit.
Not sure others, but Netflix is the Apple in streaming. They are able to churn out mega hits like Squid Games. Look at Apple TV, reminds me of Steve Jobs effort in Ping the Apple Fecebook years ago. Bezos got other interest in space for now. Google isn't famous for ability to create hits....ahem G+ and G-glass. Disney+ has built-in goodwill from their past. I see many kids these days not into Mickey Mouse stuff compare to 20yrs ago. Disney is trying to build more legacy by buying Marvel and Star Wars. Reminds me a lot of their effort of securing Pixar back then. Problem with this franchises are that they tend to fizzle out years later. See what happen to last few Star Wars movies. However if you have consistency in generating hits like Netflix in the pasts decades, that sounds a lot like Apple. That means they will be able to survive to adapt with new stuff. Unlike those milking the pasts like Star Trek, Bobba Fett, adsense, prime, etc.

Product manager over at Figma - would love to know the quirks you mentioned!
Added link in the readme! Thx.

No, no dev log but I'll tell you some things that where incredible during that project:

- I started the fuse project 4 months before I set foot in the Meadow project office (we had like 3 meetings during those 4 months just to touch base on the vision)! This is a VERY good way of making things smooth, you need to give tech/backend/foundation people a head start of atleast 6 months in ANY project.

- We spent ONLY 6 weeks (!!!) implementing the entire games multiplayer features because I was 100% ready for the job after 4 months. Not a single hickup...

- Then for 7 months they finished the game client without me and released without ANY problems (I came back to the office that week and that's when I solved the anti-virus/proxy cacheing/buffering problem!).

I think Meadow is the only MMO in history so far to have ZERO breaking bugs on release (we just had one UTF-8 client bug that we patched after 15 minutes and nobody noticed except the poor person that put a strange character in their name).
I would not read too much into this.

> Yes a few missteps happened but the backlash was way out of proportion, especially given how approachable and responsive they were about all the negative feedback.

This has become standard operating procedure. Push your agenda until you receive backlash, then claim it was all a big misunderstanding, and that you are listening to feedback. Let things calm down for a few months, then push the controversial changes anyway.

People are picking up on that, and won‘t accept it anymore. I think that‘s great.

Current leadership has shown their hand and the probable long-term direction they are headed.

Maybe it‘s an honest mistake, but the community no longer seems to extend the benefit of the doubt, which is totally understandable. Fool me 42753 times, shame on me.

That's a good observation. Towards the end the fixture is dropped in favour of a module-like object, which spaws the compiler once per test run. One could enhance this to skip compilation in the sandbox process to avoid unnecessary compilations.
There are organizations like https://crfg.org/ that grow exotic fruits that grocers don’t bother to stock. They don’t sell them (not enough money in it), but I know they’ll at least provide you with some if you’re doing an educational thing.

There are also a few businesses following exactly the model you outline, but they focus on one varietal/cultivar of one fruit, since each requires its own CapEx for its own climate setup.

The host of the YouTube channel https://m.youtube.com/c/WeirdExplorer gets fruits in from both of these all the time, (when he’s not going directly to other countries just to try exotic fruits.)
Ah okay thanks for sharing the Mozilla update. And I suppose I am less optimistic than you, since they have so much browser market share I’d guess they’re happy to let devs figure out how to make our stuff work if we want access to their users. It’s also notable that so far v3 is only mandated for new extensions, though I’m not sure if that applies to updates of existing extensions.

Yes, I do understand and that the EdgeDB is "a postgres connection pool+orm combined together" and the work guys did is incredible. And I do beleive it will find its niche. But for me, personaly, the idea of "postgres is now a black box for you, don't even try to go deeper into it" stops me from digging into EdgeDB right away (the tooling is amazing! migrations!) and even trying it in our production for our enterprize clients. Probably, with time, when edgeql can fully replace sql and plpgsql, we could say that EdgeDB is ready for everything.
BTW, @RedCrowbar, how can I call a udf or procedure (written in sql/plpgsql) from edgeql? I didn't find it in the docs.

I'm a long-time Photoshop user (since 1994), and my business, Filter Forge, started as a Photoshop plugin. Nowadays all my design work is done in Figma, which is fantastic. My Photoshop usage nowadays is limited to editing and enhancing pixel images.

Modern Photoshop feels extremely bloated. Slow to start, slow to paste images, cumbersome in other aspects. Since I'm using it much less frequently than I used to, I'm considering switching to an open source equivalent -- like I did with my 3D needs: I already switched from 3DS Max to Blender.

Looking into it more, I'm not sure Yule should be mentioned at all. The Wikipedia link says nothing of the sort (and none of the other relevant articles do either), and I've been unable to find a single mention in G/GS of Yule and Yule-Simon distributions and complements, much less one that is so clear as to merit being called "Yule's law". He gives a 1912 date at random (is it supposed to be a reference?) but that just takes me to some obscure binary correlation coefficient which is almost-but-not-exactly an odds ratio. So I'm left wondering what Yule has to do with this at all.

(And I'm a little dubious about OP's research in general after that look: as his own WP link tells you, the Gillette story is a myth so why is he repeating it, and his Apple iPod is rather thinly sourced to a search query in a book you can't read. I have not checked anything in the other laws.)

Nice. Now how could I get this to work on a small embedded device compiker (gbdk using lcc), which likely doesn't have that constructor attitude.
It's a nice language, the first language where having learned it I really wanted to rewrite my existing code in it.

If you enjoy learning languages (you listed five) it isn't hard to play around with some Rust and see if you like it, the entry "price" in terms of time and effort is minimal, the tools even by default generate a Hello, World example so you don't have that intro-to-Java moment where there's like eight lines of inexplicable boilerplate to copy from the slides before you can print a word on the screen (what is "Public static void" and what are "String[] args" ?)

But it isn't a panacea, all the languages you list are Garbage Collected, so for you Rust would be a crash course in ownership / lifetimes. If you write enough of the languages you mentioned you might have touched on this, a database handle for example might have a distinct lifetime, the IDisposable interface in C# is in this ballpark, you may have some clue. In Rust this gets real immediately for even mundane seeming objects like a String (the mutable string type), and you may find that it's more productive to do work where you're unclear about the object lifetimes in a garbage collected language where it isn't your problem. Or you might find it all makes perfect sense and you wonder why anybody wasted their time with these GC languages. People vary.

One of the best places in the world for high quality mangoes is the island of Guimaras in the Philippines. They have a mangoe festival every May. They are considered to be the sweetest world-class mangoes, but I don't think any of them make it to the US because they're difficult to ship.

> If you look at the graph of energy consumption, the top line is basically flat going back as far as 2010.

This seems consistent with jevon’s paradox. Efficiency improvements have not reduced the overall consumption.

Unless you believe that efficiency improvements have just randomly coincided with growth and they happen to cancel each-other out… but it seems more likely to me that cheap compute contributed to the huge uptick in machine learning / big data etc.
I really want a solar powered time lapse camera that takes a photo around noon every day, saves to SD card.

Would be great for plant time lapses.

I haven't been able to find anyone who's done this already. It seems like there are trail cams and similar that have all the parts, so this should be possible to manufacture for a price point of around $50, and I think it would be an amazing product: I bet every gardening enthusiast would want one.

Anyone know of a sku that already exists? I Google it a couple times a year, still haven't found it. Anyone want to get this made, maybe send me one as thanks, and you keep all the profits you reap? :-D. I really just want this to exist.

That's not a meaningful comparison when the CPU itself is running at a higher frequency. Lower frequency enables the CPU to waste less effort, e.g. while waiting on memory or I/O.

Because a 64-bit read to L1 or L2 cache takes the same amount of time as a 256-bit (or even 512-bit) SIMD read on a modern Intel or AMD processor.

On L3 cache or DDR4, coalesced reads/writes are still more beneficial and 256-bit reads SIMD still has benefits over 64-bit reads, though its less dramatic.
