Think 5200 is in the middle of your first two, since I believe architecturally it was a 400 without a keyboard (or more accurately, the 400 was basically a 5200 with a keyboard).

But yeah, that's super interesting too. I skipped Lynx in my console journey so wasn't as familiar with that, but I didn't realize the 3DO (which I did have) was loosely part of the talent family too. But yeah, now that I think about it, I guess Hawkins must have ended up tapping the talent pools freeing up from the ST/Amiga/GS generations since those died out right around the time 3DO was being developed.

Factorio is my favourite game of all time by a country mile. The thing that is so amazing to me is when you first play it and suddenly you realise that what you thought was the goal of the game (to launch the rocket) is literally completely irrelevant and the goal has at some point just become "to play more factorio".

The factory doesn't have to grow to feed the rocket. The factory must grow because it must grow. And you're there to make it grow.

Then pretty soon you've launched hundreds of rockets and you're still thinking "if I can just get my trains working a bit better, remove this bottleneck then I can expand over there..."
That may be your opinion, but C. S. Lewis was not participating in some discourse on identity politics, not by any stretch of the imagination. He wouldn’t have understood the term.

Your citation merely reinforces my point that queer readings of LOTR predate the current generation by several decades. It’s a historical fact.
Nonsense, you were privileged to be the right kind of "poor", the kind of poor that the system caters to. Just because the system gave you a big hand up does not imply that it does for everyone in equal conditions. You were privileged and you don't even realize it.

There are many poor people that are never given that opportunity regardless of ability. To those people, you had an easy path.

I've mentioned this before, but I think the conflation of 'developer' and 'software engineer' can really cause confusion when hiring. These are different roles that most HR, management and even most 'developers' aren't clear on. When you aren't clear on what a 'software engineer' actually does, and don't hire based on what that role really means but based on some other semi-related criteria like 'works well with clients' or 'bills lots of hours', you're going to wind up with a lot of confusion.

Here's the IEEE's take on the differences, based on their certification programs: https://www.computer.org/education/certifications
I don't really see any applications of quantum computing to fuzzing tbh

edit: OK I thought a bit more. Maybe if QC would improve concolic execution, but I haven't heard that that would be the case - that there are algorithms used for symbolic execution that would benefit from a QC.
Honestly, I don't think this is true. Good writing is not the same as "making high school analysis easy by making everything for straightforward reasons". Plenty of times, things are there, because it experiment or atmosphere or even needing to make it longer.

When I was on Windows I did try WSL, but I had problems with the corporate VPN/proxy. IIRC I essentially had no network connectivity from the WSL side.

I was the sole tech guy (backend/frontend/help desk).. and my boss during the annual review asked me to pick a job title any title. I was already senior engineer, so went for Technology Director. CTO would have worked against me on my next job move.
Not really. It's not so black and white. My point is that above a certain threshold of GPA/test scores/"intelligence" college is free. If you are below that threshold college is not. For those of us that were below that threshold, for whatever reason, we had to figure out how to pay for it. Within that bucket there are people who's family can just pay for it, no matter how expensive (these are the people going to Harvard and Wharton out of pocket), and there are those who simply can't afford to pay 200k for an education because they don't have it. Those folks then choose state Schools (which I went to and are wonderful). My point is that the average graduate of Wharton has a much higher average starting salary than the average state school. Therefore tying a family's ability to pay more tuition with a graduates average salary being higher.

It's simply the way the world works. The rich get richer.

I would echo the bit about the personal network. I have found it surprising how many opportunities have surfaced from people in my network who I never thought would need a website or know someone who does. Once you start doing work for folks in your network it can snowball into even more opportunities.

I would shy away from offering your services for cheap if you can. It can be a good thing to do when you are just getting started as developer and don't have a portfolio yet. Given that you have been building things for 7-8 years though, I would guess that you have some examples of things you have built that you can share with prospective clients?

If you have the capacity to try out freelancing on top of your day job, I think it is a great way to validate if you have the appetite for it and earn some extra money while doing it.

I felt the same way for a while (this is FUN, this isn't work!), but at one point I came back to the game after a few months off, started a new factory, got to something like "automate green circuits", and immediately felt like I was back to battling some NPM dependency. It had lost all its magic and suddenly felt like work again. This was after about 300 hours of playtime over a few years, but I haven't really been able to get back into it since then. It's really unfortunate because it was one of my favorite games when I was still enjoying it.
> I don’t see any inspiration for those of us who really want to learn math, or physics, or chemistry, but just don’t want to focus on it for 4 years.

Truth be told (in physics at least with no prior extensive knowledge beyond school) it takes about minium 1.5 years (3 semesters; 40hrs/week) of practice in order to get really started. The most diffucult part for me was getting used to the pace and regularly attending to the exercises.
The first two semesters were the most humiliating ones, I really struggled to translate simple concepts into mathematical sound equations, I've constantly missed a lot of nuance and lacked elegance in solving problems, a lot of my calculations appeared to me just brute-forced.
Only in my 2nd year in I realized that I had actually gained some "competence" in mathematical modeling.

So, yeah, in order to be able to play along with a band or orchestra one has to invest some time into learning the particularities of a given instrument. You can get some decent results after 3 months of practicing but really only after 1-2 years (without prior experience) it starts to really open up.
I would add London Lights: The Minds that Moved the City that Shook the World, 1805 - 1851 by James Hamilton, from 2007. It's about the whole scene including Ada and Babbage and many others -- where the worlds of science, the arts, and literature overlapped and mingled more than they usually do now.

From Chapter 5, around pages 110 - 115:

"Ada Byron began to make a habit of going to Babbage's with the Somervilles (mathematician and popular science author Mary and her husband William). Ada Byron was intense by nature. A highly articulate, overwrought mathematical genius from a high social background, she attended lectures at the Royal Institute, routs in glittering ballrooms, soirees at Babbage's, and, aged seventeen in 1833, was presented to the King and Queen at court. Her natural brilliance in the abstract language of mathematics that few understood, her disturbed upbringing as Byron's daughter, and the elevated position in society it was her lot to display and maintain created a confused and uncertain young woman. ... It was the rare piece of real good fortune for Ada, however, that she had the sensible and structured example of Mary and William Somerville's family life to balance her self-absorption, the insistence of her many suitors, and Charles Babbage's frantic self-certainty. ..."
> Part of Defensive Depth includes vetting and requiring the janitor who cleans the SCIF to themselves also hold a security clearance.

Sure, but no amount of vetting is going to be perfect. Maybe the vetting missed something, maybe some circumstance changed between now and the most recent re-up, maybe instead of $10k it's $10M, etc.

A better solution is to physically disable the USB ports.
Our product was "site sage". Its subscription based and you have to install a current transformer around each circuit coming out of you electric box (you'd install in the circuit breaker box). But you did get circuit by circuit listings. Its also subscription based. The company has moved on to monitoring kitchen equipment, though they still sell them.

I've been out of the space for a while, but the "sense" power monitor was new when I left. It claims to use AI so you can just monitor the mains and it will suss out what is using power.

There were a lot of our home customers who were very obsessed with power use (trying to get to net 0 with solar). There have to be forums for this...

If you are looking for the manual way. getting a kill-o-watt and attaching it to your outlet is one way to see one of the things that takes a lot of power. I have the "Belkin" version which I like because the display isn't near the outlet. I'd suggest fridge... In my case my fridge was a large % of my power bill. Any electric heat.

We are now on record that data from Tile and Jiobit will NEVER be sold. Period. Some of the other stuff on our data practices were highly sensationalized, and we have a privacy center that allows any user - free or paid - to opt in/out of any portion of our platform they don't like, even ads within the system. So this is something you absolutely don't need to worry about.
I think you're reading part of the description in a slightly stronger way than intended. Not strictly "don't care what happens", but more that chasing a unicorn exit isn't the only criteria for happiness from the result. Perhaps, "passion project" or similar could have been a better description.

Then again the whole thing is nebulous, and we can clearly see that people are reading and treating the question in their own way. I actually think that is what I liked about the description in the original post, it meant we saw the full range of really odd things and -- if we're honest -- a little cheeky grifting too ;)
When you have sensitive data that needs to be air-gapped, but not so sensitive it can't be behind a pane of glass.
I personally don't care for nested tags. It's too cluttered, because even if focus on tags starting with project2, there's a lot of verbosity. What I do is analogous to a "working directory" where everything is relative to that directory. For instance, rather than #project1/tag2, if I click on #project1, the project1/ is prepended to all the tags automatically inside storage but hidden in the display of notes. Implementation is simple. If using Javascript, store the current project name in a variable and prepend it when relevant.

Edit: Another advantage of this is that cross-project tagging stands out because the full tag is displayed.
Oh interesting. PDF's is what is hardest for me. I need a completely different approach to handling them than I have been using for web content and epubs.

Thanks for sharing your story, it helps to put things in perspective. I wonder how much they've improved since you used them though. The website looks very sleek.
>The Meta Quest2, yeah, they're selling a bunch of 'em, but the technology is a long way from prime time.

I don't think VR headsets will be as ubiquitous as phones, but it might get wide adoption. VR hardware would probably then become a moat in this situation - Meta has demonstrated they're more than willing to try that (Facebook accounts and Oculus). Access to the hardware means it's more likely to reach primetime. A moat and high sales are good business. Facebook might be floundering more recently, but they still built Facebook in the first place.

That's what gets me about a lot of these arguments against web3 and the metaverse: that it's just going to fail with nothing to show. There's non-trivial amounts of money flowing into this. Maybe it ends up being silly and smaller than planned, but it still may end up a profitable and ongoing industry sector.

We might have to live with it, even if it doesn't become the mainstream internet.
I like spotify (I pay for the service) but I dont like anything about this.

I don't like that spotify are doing "podcasts". For me, poscasts are the last (popular) vestiges of the old web. I wish they would remain platform-free. The creators own servers and an RSS feed. Total control for the creators, noone to ask for permisson. Tell me I'm dreaming.

I don't like that Joe Rogan is on spotify. Never heard his show, I understand that he is some kind of post-radio chock-jock. However, I know that he is very popular so by bringing him on spotify is kind of cementing that spotify is how you do podcasts now.

I don't like that spotify felt the need to remove some old episodes for him. If they are really doing podcast they should buy the whole hog, including the warts.

I dont like that musicians are leaving spotify. Those that have very publicly left dont affect me much as it's not my style of music, but it's a bad trend.

As a Swede i personally know people that pays the rent with spotify money. I don't like that that might end.

It is a much longer topic but there is some irony that privacy allows Apple and other giant platforms full use of 1st party data however they want. If we are worried about the hive mind (I am personally not) the attention needs to be on the big news and social media networks.

I'm not complaining about it. Just recognizing it.
Because not everyone feels the need to rate their self-worth by how much wealth they’ve hoarded. I’m already set for retirement and I have my house nearly paid off. I’m comfortable and I don’t make $250,000 a year. I barely work more than 32 hours a week and I just got promoted. Full time work from home with a free working trip back to my old stomping grounds to catch up with friends twice a year.

Why would I break my psyche with burnout, stress, and work I despise just to make someone else exponentially more money so I can make marginally more money I don’t need? Miss me with that hustle porn, thanks.

IIRC the Apple Newtons used a thermocoupler integrated into the LCD to help keep the contrast adjusted to the user-set level as the temperature of the device changed. There was at least one application that would read the current contrast setting of the screen and infer the temperature. I don't remember it being super accurate but it worked.

The Newtons had grayscale LCDs with manually adjusted contrast. The MP130 and later also had an electro-luminescent backlight but it was not always active. So the user contrast setting was very important to maintain for screen visibility.

I actually LoL'd reading this. You can buy packs of 10 small notebooks (each the thickness of 10 of these cards) for $15 on Amazon, they work just as well if not better. A notebook is much easier to carry than a stack of cards with a wooden holder. It can be stood up against the monitor, water bottle, or even by itself.

How does that compare in dB to a road?

PS: checked it out myself, from some light googling:

Road decibel levels are about 55 dB (averaged over a day) for about 30% of the EU population.

Wind turbines are supposedly 43 decibels if they are within a few hundred meters of a house. I guess it probably varies a lot depending on the turbine in question.
I've struggled with that, having been in the same position - I was a "VP" at a six-person startup over ten years ago. Of course, I didn't anything remotely VP-ish there - I was programming computers, same as I've ever done. But, that was my title. So... do I write that on my resume and be honest about my title or write a title that's honest about what I was actually doing?
"Tim O'Reilly: As a metaphor, I personally put web three in about 1983. This has been my impression for some time."

This is a bit harsh but not wrong. What in my opinion is especially interesting is that we have so many eyes on it already... (this is not necessarily a good thing)

While a lot of people are hating on NFTs or laughing at scalability we need to keep in mind that most development is happening in an open source fashion. If you think about the banking sector in general it is quite secretive and speculative and I believe a fresh wind was necessary and banks got the memo.

Another big problem I see in web3 is that projects are just trying too hard; in this sense we are way more aligned with the Dot-Com bubble. While we are stuck in 1983 (for now) everyone is promising 2050 by yesterday and it gets tiring quickly.

However, the internet was also intended for the individual and was taken away from us as platforms took over... The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Its a similar itch as programming for fun, but often that becomes less fun after spending the entire day programming for money. Factorio is just different enough to still be fun and relaxing, even though its similar.

Programming also comes with baggage that Factorio can do away with (eg sibling comment mentioned build tools, I've given up on an evening of personal programming before because setting up the build environment was too much effort... looking at you cmake you piece of garbage... Or because I hit a bug that was too much effort to find/fix. Factorio "debugging" is much simpler, its about finding blockages or optimizing things, not figuring out why undefined is not a number in some deeply nested code where the value couldn't possibly be undefined but it turns out some async code changed it without you realizing...)
Fair enough, it seems that you are primarily attacking the word Monopoly. What if we were to soften the claim to dominance. Rulers always maintained power based on their ability to resist violence from within and without. Economic leverage only existed as long as one could protect themselves from violent opposition. A trade embargo meant nothing if the opposition can seize your assets and production by force.

In today's world, mega corporations have no defense if a government actor decides to use force against them.

This utter defenselessness against violence is the main difference between a modern corporation and a feudal actor.
