And surely we'd want high quality content returned from a search engine. If Google never returned results where the company wanted me to buy something it'd be pretty sparse
My workplace is returning to the office, but at the same time our headquarters is being split into suburban satellite offices. Teams are being spit strictly by geography, where pre-pandemic we were all in the central office.

Satellite offices will be great for many commuters, but it means that even though we’re “in the office,” we’ll eventually be in three or four different offices, and every meeting will be a Zoom meeting (except for one-on-ones, if your supervisor happens to be located in your office). It’s too early yet to see if this will be any better than working entirely remote (except that my chair at the office is much better than my chair at home).
I have it at my home office, so the PC is always next to it. I am using good open-back headphones (DT 990 PRO) connected to a USB audio interface that supports low latency using ASIO driver on Windows and JACK on Linux (in my case UMC204HD). The rest is handled by Pianoteq.
One thing to note - the Casio Privia that I have has nice weighted piano keys and they feel great but the sustain pedal that came out of the box was a binary one. You can purchase better pedals separately.

10 years ago I tried similar approach with Raspberry Pi and some small keyboard that I borrowed. It was a bit tricky to find a good synth that was optimized for such a weak device, but I managed to find one that sounded OK. It had no display and I had to do some tweaks to boot it up in a few seconds time. If I was more serious and not just tinkering for fun I would probably have used a laptop instead.

Steam Deck will have plenty of CPU power but it will probably still require a separate audio interface to get that low latency.
IMO the issue is the paywall is essentially "cloaking" by google webmaster standards. different content is displayed to the crawler (actual text of the article which gets indexed) vs the user (a paywall).

the content provider might not ask for the crawler but they are certainly catering to it - and benefitting from it.
You seem to have the misinformed belief that Google and search engines generally somehow make up the fundamental fabric of the web? Google is just a company that has a pretty good catalogue of what they've been able to piece together of what's available on the open web. Crawlers are no more a fundamental part of "the open web" than anything else.
> It’s only condescending, because you’re assuming a social hierarchy where software development is more prestigious or desirable than one of the trades and that physical labor is harder than non-physical labor.

I'm very confused by this because I'm arguing the exact opposite: that people in tech romanticize these "simple" trades of the people.

> Would you call out a plumber for being condescending in wishing for the “easy” job of a software developer?

Absolutely. If they treated it like something you can just step down into without putting in the work, which is precisely how it's positioned when devs daydream about it.
We don’t practice that kind of savagery in our society.

> When I turned on the news and discovered that the messages were about a lion killed by an American dentist, the village boy inside me instinctively cheered: One lion fewer to menace families like mine.

> My excitement was doused when I realized that the lion killer was being painted as the villain.

> In my village in Zimbabwe, surrounded by wildlife conservation areas, no lion has ever been beloved, or granted an affectionate nickname. They are objects of terror.

> When I was 9 years old, a solitary lion prowled villages near my home. After it killed a few chickens, some goats and finally a cow, we were warned to walk to school in groups and stop playing outside. My sisters no longer went alone to the river to collect water or wash dishes; my mother waited for my father and older brothers, armed with machetes, axes and spears, to escort her into the bush to collect firewood.

> The lion sucked the life out of the village: No one socialized by fires at night; no one dared stroll over to a neighbor’s homestead.

> When the lion was finally killed, no one cared whether its murderer was a local person or a white trophy hunter, whether it was poached or killed legally. We danced and sang about the vanquishing of the fearsome beast and our escape from serious harm.

> And please, don’t offer me condolences about Cecil unless you’re also willing to offer me condolences for villagers killed or left hungry by his brethren

The reason that most harm inflicted by lions is economic or secondary is that people go well out of their way to avoid meeting lions. That doesn't represent a small problem; it represents a gigantic problem.
It’s (imo very obvious) satire. It’s pointing at the implicit belief that one can solve the deep problems in one’s life through the process of time, through becoming more productive/efficient/etc. I think it’s an implicit belief set that’s familiar to many of us here.
New things come along, developers get excited, proclaim we finally have the ultimate language, framework, tool, architecture. Rinse, repeat. All of the code developed in last week’s or last year’s big thing is still out there, now dismissed as legacy, full of technical debt. Programming is like fashion that way.

Lots of decades-old COBOL code still runs enterprise businesses. Something like 75% of all public web sites were written in PHP, dismissed as obsolete for years. So in a sense everything developers use at all is here to stay for a long while, because the cost and risk of replacing it every few months is too high, and programmers hate maintaining legacy code.

After enough time in the development business you figure out that we mostly reinvent the same flat tire over and over.
Seems like it could be useful for radio-sensitive instrumentation, such as a GHz telescope array.
> most civilians don't understand the difference between this graph: DOD <> State Department <> SOCOM

I certainly don't, at least inasmuch as it is a surprise to learn there are policy differences between DOD and SOCOM, which I understand to be one of its constituent parts, and also as a military command not given latitude to set policy in ways that would conflict with any cabinet department. I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly there, though, because my own perspective is limited.

I was aware the State Department and DOD are different departments with their own agendas which to say the least don't always run side by side, but it's
news to me that State operates any weapons systems, as you seem to be saying they do. Again assuming I've understood you correctly here, that is also quite surprising, and on both points I'd be obliged for any references you could point me to.

> there's a lot of stories I could tell about having to interact in near-proximity to SOCOM that may shed light on why strange things seem to happen with them so often

Not that I'd blame you for continuing to demur, but I'd be interested to hear any such stories you find yourself inclined to tell. As you accurately note, there's a learning opportunity here; however undesirable warfare may be, as you also note and as anyone who reads the headlines should know, it is not going anywhere any time soon. That being so, I'd like to know more accurately if I can how my country goes about it, the better to understand what's happening today and try to predict what might happen tomorrow.
This is one that is hard for me. In my, clearly incorrect, mind, notes are beautiful things you would be proud to show someone. Best I've ever done is something I'm not embarrassed to throw away in my trash can.
I know of Thomas through the Rocketpool community Discord (a decentralized Ethereum staking pool). He's a regular on there. And I'm one of 90ish members in the Arrow Discord. It's a super early stage startup that's still in the conceptualization phase. I don't know how he got his capital, I don't know his background. But he's been an engaged member of the RPL community and seems genuine in his interest for drone transportation. A lot of this is still available in the Discord chat history.
Haha, you can't be great at everything.
Does it? I remember when Etsy was making a big fuss about being a public benefit corporation and then a couple of years later they just quietly dropped it.
The borrow checker is pervasive. You can’t just abstract it away. There’s a reason it’s explicit.

If you think it’s possible, try designing what it would look like, and what it would compile your code to. You will quickly find that it can’t work without losing the quintessence of Rust completely (and a lot of performance).
> Do you really believe that?

Yes. Why not? I mentioned the firebombing of cities earlier. Fire makes more fire, but gas doesn't make more gas. That disposes of strategic utility, and on the tactical side, mobile warfare in armored vehicles largely obviates any benefit. Besides, it's not like, in total warfare, the production of chemical weapons at industrial scale doesn't require resources that could otherwise be put to purposes and weapons that aren't so narrowly contingent in their potential benefits - for one example, incendiaries.

> That would imply that if one side started doing it, the other would have just laughed at their waste of resources and continue enjoying the benefits of doing without.

No, it wouldn't; of course if one side had started doing it others would have matched the escalation, just as with strategic bombing. Why do you think no side started? I like to hope at this point we've disposed of the idea that it was out of the goodness of their hearts.
> I think this is good, but it makes me wish for an even broader-scoped documentary on the history of cloud technologies.

Honestly I would love for there to be more documentaries on the more “boring” computing related stuff too, like what are the origins of VMs.

There’s a lot of pop culture material on the founding of the big tech but very little on the boring stuff without which none of this would have been possible. And my assumptions about who invented what when are always changed by talking with people who have been around for long enough.

If there were a dedicated field of Academic History dedicated to computing that would be amazing. Just having a timeline that explains the lineage of computer technologies without it being a short paragraphs in the introduction chapter in books on more specific tools, that would be great.

"License: Freeware"

Running OCCT5.5.1.exe at no point in time informs you about limited license. There are no popups, no banners. Clicking 'About OCCT' lets you know this is a "Freeware edition". Thats it, no more info about anything anywhere else. OCCT5.5.1.exe is a single file executable, doesnt seem to unpack itself anywhere, leaves no license files on the disk.

The only indication before Reddit thread was a single tweet from an otaku anime avatar profile without further context https://twitter.com/AerynOsu/status/1488929439249584138

Lets crucify Linus for using "Freeware edition" because program developer has hyper anxiety to even put a small banner into his program or sent a proper email.

Seems like you should take that up with Google? Why should The Economist be obligated to serve no content to a crawler just because they want to charge readers a fair price for their content?
With all due respect to phk, that he has gotten such a basic fact so howlingly wrong makes me wonder what else in the article needs attention.
As another Australian, I highly doubt they have much of a say in terms of how expensive shipping to us internationally is, right now.
Surely you don’t need someone to point out to you that those aren’t the same things.
And 8 years later the vast majority of Polio in the world is cvdpv2. (There is more cvdpv2 then wild type 1 and 3 combined.)

You are correct in your details, but are completely missing the bigger picture.

If you look at stats there is zero evidence that cvdpv2 is going away, it just shifts countries, goes up, goes down, but has no signs of ending.

If not for the new vaccine (and I hope it works), cvdpv2 indicates the failure to eradicate Polio. The new vaccine may change the picture, we shall see in about 2 years.

Right now the Taliban is not the biggest obstacle to Polio eradication, cvdpv2 is. And if you check my comments this has been my claim from the start, so I'm not sure what you are arguing against.

Just because vaccines are great, doesn't mean they are perfect, it's not necessary to reflexively defend them.
Get a better offer elsewhere. Take that offer or come back to negotiate for a raise. In my opinion, 5 years is a long time in one company and no promotions. Don't waste your time there.
Also, you may be a very solid programmer, and not realizing it because the employer never appreciated you enough.
QDOS itself was an independent implementation of CP/M. The cladogram doesn't follow cladistics as is.
Thank you, that does seem to alleviate some of my concerns as above. I'm not as familiar with EU law, it seems that recitals aren't legally binding equally with the "operative" text. But given the context, it seems unlikely a small blog or web shop that doesn't target EU customers would be in scope.
I doubt that’s how it really works.
You can't do it client side. Well-implemented paywalls clip the content server-side. If you're Google, you get the full HTML, if you're not, you don't.
Generally you'll find built-in vector and matrix types in languages designed for technical computing, such as FORTRAN, MATLAB/Octave, Julia, Chapel, etc.
So true, especially in organizations where all the people calling the shots are both older and non-technical. I’m in my mid-60s and didn’t get into computers until the mid-80s, but I’ve long been comfortable with remote and ansync communications; I’m not remote-native, but definitely remote-assimilated. Too many in my age group simply don’t get it.
you could do it for any covid-related public health measure or mandate, depending on the places you compared.
denmark and sweden and norway and the UK are all ending, or have ended, all restrictions this quarter.
i recall other countries (and states in the US) have done similar at different times in the past 2 years, but i'm not feeling like googling them right now.
I think “primed the world” is a much more defensible position than what I originally thought you were arguing (that Heroku influenced Kubernetes directly).

Seriously. I commented years ago that the root cause of Apple's market dominance was that Steve Jobs had a monopoly on Steve Jobs.

The monopoly issue, in that light, comes down to--well, not even brand, but history and identity.
At least we now have a better idea where. Not Babylon, as usually reported, but most likely Nineveh, now Mosul.

Nineveh had an elevated aqueduct long before Rome built theirs.

Also: the Neo-Assyrians were notably unpleasant people, even by standards of the day.
I think there is value in being able to write up an online contract (code) that is able to manage money for two parties without needing to go to a bank or some third party to act as the middleman.

It's the same thing as reading the terms and conditions.
Yes, the banking industry won't do much to prevent Aunt Senile from wiring $80k to Nigeria, although I doubt they make it easy. Hell, I couldn't even phone-authorize a wire of 8k to buy a car two states over, but I guess that's just my bank. Had to bloody pay for the car on credit card, no joke.

But the scenario in the OP is only possible in cryptocurrencies. You can't put a button on a website "Click here to send a JPEG through email for $3.50*" with the fine print "*and also 100 million dollars" and expect that to ever work out with the legacy banking system. Only in cryptoland could someone ever accidentally yeet 100 million dollars in a few seconds by visiting a website and clicking a button.
An excellent idea. It seems to me that the blades could be examined for bandsawing into assorted panels for many uses? There was mention of some lawn furniture being made but no pix. Much like we trim round bamboo into small panels to make boards, we can carve these large blades into many useful shapes for imaginative uses.
An interesting process, but I intend using far larger panels made from the blades.

I just don't think it's fair to define Docker by merely its ability to isolate resources (that which distinguishes containers from VMs). Docker is an entire ecosystem of best practices, standards, tooling, packaging, documentation and community support.

Google caught up to Docker not the other way round.
That seems the hard way to do backlinks.

Backlinks as weak links work. It's not symmetrical, but it's sound. Forward links then must be Rc<RefCell<T>> links, while backlinks are Rc<Weak<T>>.

This also generalizes to the thread safe form, Arc<Mutex<T>>.
You don't think eventually the same dynamics won't happen in web3?
I’m gonna come out and say it: I think ports were a mistake in TCP.

It makes way more sense to think of an IP address as the entire “address”+port tuple. When you look at it like that, so many aspects of computer networking get simpler. First, we think of every computer on a network as having a range of addresses - usually 65536 of them. But that’s an arbitrary choice that could be adapted in lots of ways. Every connection directly connects two IP addresses - which is way simpler than what we do now. DNS should associate a name with an address - including what we currently call the port. That way we wouldn’t need special application specific port assignments. And then we wouldn’t need SNI and all that - because computers could have a bunch of fully process-isolated web servers, just listening on different incoming address+port tuples.

Obviously we can’t change tcp/ip, but parts of the tcp/ip infrastructure already work this way - but we’re lacking the language to talk about it.
Linux containers were important, but Docker gets a lot of credit for popularizing them. Even still, Kubernetes makes containers dramatically more useful than just running a bunch of Docker containers on EC2 instances or whatever. Not only does it schedule containers, but it enables controllers and operators for enabling increasingly higher levels of abstraction. I don’t think Heroku has any analog (nor should it because Heroku is a PaaS).
Can this be done while substituting Elixir for Erlang?

Where's the "didn't work out too well" come from? Prohibition never works, whether it's restricting coffee or cocaine.

Combine education and free access to everything with reasonable daily unit limits and per-substance licensing. You want meth, you go through meth safety training and get a yearlong endorsement allowing you to buy up to the daily limit at a pharmacy, no prescription involved.

Set up due process that limits or eliminates legal access to substances based on criminal or medical situations.

Drug abuse - using in inappropriate situations leading to misbehavior - can be treated as a medical issue. Misbehavior that rises to the level of criminality is already handled.

It's absurd to think that any adult in a free country has any business whatsoever telling other adults what they can ingest or do in private.

Some variation on these notions are already demonstrated across the world. The current schedule system and drug laws in America serve only the bad guys, whether it's commercial prison slave labor, drug cartels, big Pharma, or the alphabet jackboots.
This is a pessimistic view of the future that I worry about too, but overall, I still see little sign of it in practice. Surveillance may be ever closer to being ubiquitous but overall, (and it's almost heartening to see it be the case) crime, from the petty to the major, remains rampant worldwide with the vast majority of perpetrators never being caught at all.

This applies to organized crime, street crime of the petty or violent kind and of course to purely digital crime. In some cases, the absence of being caught is because of simple corruption (especially with organized crime) but in many if not most, it's still down to old fashioned police ineptitude, indifference and ironically, more crimes than ever being reported specifically because of wider surveillance and easier means of calling public social media attention to criminal activities.

If anything, these factors in many places just saturate police into inactivity, instead of causing greater punitive measures, and all this, despite widespread surveillance. A simple first world example: San Francisco. No shortage of social, technological and police surveillance resources, but good luck getting an iota of investigative attention even if someone openly steals something from you, unless you're well connected or lucky.
I think you’re understating the problem. Imagine having your entire life savings on a flash drive. It’s a disaster. Crypto has no chance of replacing fiat until that and many other issues are resolved.
That doesn't seem to be a reasonable kind of logic-- "some places are choosing to end mask mandates, therefore vaccines don't work."
When I heard about Ethereum this was my exact fear. Programmable money sounds like a terrible idea from the perspective of business owner. Does this mean I have to check every transaction I enter to run arbitrary code with full access to my wallet? That is of course assuming the code isn't able to break out of any other protections there might be and pay for the ETH I'm getting with my data.
I think the person you're replying to is agreeing with you.

I should explain I didn’t mean literally that you used the Connection Machine interactively. Supercomputers generally were treated as batch mode, with other machines scheduling jobs.

I think you are right about the SGI workstation being used with the CM in the background.

But still, I was disappointed that I was the only person in the theater that was stoked about Unix at the time.
