Back in the day you couldn’t even single step a 6502. IIRC the apple 1 manual had a super smart Woz way to nop the 6502 in between steps to keep it alive.

That being said I love the 6502 and have a few laying around and will play with this on Monday.
The first year of covid webex wasn’t really innovating while Zoom was flinging out new features. WebEx is now going faster and adding more and more features.
In general you need to send something which can be used to look up the data in a more appropriate (e.g. authenticated or deletable) system. A true event ID may not be available until after the message is successfully produced; anything generated before that is tantamount to the order ID anyway.

Note that "sensitive" in this case can mean a persistence/retention boundary and not a security boundary.

Aren't stablecoins supposed to fix the volatility issue? I don't know how well they work in practice (or how decentralised they are), but people are working on them (and at least some of them aren't scammers).

Even if the stablecoins themselves aren't easily spent with low fees, there are people working on decentralised exchanges and low fee blockchains (and "second layer" solutions), so I'm confident that it's not a lack of intention that is preventing this outcome from being achieved.

Multi trillion dollar market?
Typically you see these suggested as part of a "change data capture" type process where the event is only published after the action is committed to the data store. The downside (IMO) is this required directly integrating with the data store itself which isn't always easy to do, or obvious from a git/CICD perspective.
Hmm, sounds like a broad classification associated with the record. In the broadest sense, I think all cases are defined as either civil or criminal.
Would a GDPR request have a backup?
I think its worth attempting.
Additionally, history has shown that such “choices” are often not exactly choices in practice
It was the Gameboy version, not the C64.

The Commodore's was a bit mushy compared to the Atari 800.

But they both absolutely crushed the quality of almost any keyboard you get on a computer today.
You also get event IDs "for free" with lots of systems, e.g. Kafka topic/partition/offset is more than sufficient as a unique global ID for later use.
I was thinking that if OP's wife or the video subjects are European then a GDPR request# might surface the data. Strikes me the videos would probably only have a delete flag set if this is recent and even after deletion from live data may exist in backups?

Yes. Sorry, I wasn't clear. Intellectually, I understand what's intended, but the visual effect of hills and valleys however is very strong and hard to ignore. I can read and understand that the dark lines on Greenland are isoclines, but having an intuitive feel for what these patterns represent is elusive. The visual idioms of light as height and dark as depth is probably too entrenched for me.
Much government spending is transfer payments and by definition consumption, not investment of any kind. UBI would be more (much more) of the same.

Where the government does investment activity it does a shockingly poor job, education being the clearest example.
This seems to happen a lot - it might not even be your fault, just someone decided they didn't like your videos and filed a bunch of complaints, or an algorithm misinterpreted some speech. Once the automation sides against you your only recourse is to hope to generate enough social outrage that a human takes notice. The lesson learned is always that YouTube should never be your primary data store, you need to keep the best quality copy of your video in S3 (or similar) so you can rebuild when needed.

> Fact is, labor costs money for the laborer to exist and show up for work.

Humans aren't like ec2 servers that can be spun down when they're needed. The cost for that person is paid whether or not he's employed. I agree there's an additional cost to show up to work, but that's nowhere near the minimum wage in most places.
Please someone think of the lawyers!
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to easily sandbox this to try it? I'd be hesitant to just compile and run obfuscated code like this, and in fact, I think the post and code both probably need a "warning, don't run this without confirming what it does" disclaimer.
Anyone use NAT64 and totd (trick or treat daemon) in 2022? I tried this last in 2007-ish and found some fun places where this broke (eg: Google web results would sometimes return an IPv4 address in an URL) but a lot things mostly just worked.

Is there a newer/similar approach to try?
The COVID spending was deficit-financed and certainly not paid for.
Ah thank you, that makes much more sense to me now. The other answers weren't quite was I was looking for.

I really hope the CGM and "artificial pancreas" technology continues to progress. It really sounds like a very difficult thing to deal with day in and day out.

Thanks for taking the time to help me understand it a little better.
> This is a world in which we have lost sight of the fact that constraining ourselves with ridiculous laws to protect us from anything that might conceivable harm us relegates us to the role of toddlers who don't know enough not to touch something hot.

Is there any evidence for this? Sure, it feels good to say "oh, everyone these days has gone soft unlike me who is hard" but how does this actually play out? "don't know enough not to touch something hot" is hyperbole, but what's the concrete version of it? I'm struggling to think of anything.
What are you insinuating that I misunderstood here?
Have you ever seen a UBI proposal that would give people so much money that they don't have to do anything? We would never be able to come up with that much money to give out.

It's more like giving them even less money than Bill Gates gives his kids, so they still have to work, but they "don’t have to do anything for money but that they do have to do something" as you put it.
Its a word looking for products.
Similar to the Atari's. And they both offered redefinable character sets and fine scrolling, which allowed you to create giant scrolling maps and backgrounds as screenfuls of characters requiring very little memory.

Ecommerce guy here!

Dropshipping, specifically, means that the seller doesn't actually own any of the items they sell, and instead forwards any orders they receive to another business. This is of course very low-risk, as the seller doesn't tie up any of their own capital in a potentially bad product.

Amazon's service, FBA, is an example of something similar called "third party fulfillment". In this arrangement, the seller physically owns the stock they sell, but contract out Amazon to store and ship it.
The seller must put the money upfront to buy the products, and if it turns out to be a flop they eat a big loss.
> Ironically, every engineer I know would drop a $150,000/yr Epic contract to work for half the salary at Valve.

I don't believe that for one second.
Don't worry, "trade dress" is pretty meaningless to the casual native English speaker too, it is a technical legal term that doesn't really mean anything more in day to day English to anyone else than it does to you. (My guess is it may have meant more to an English speaker in the 18th century or something!)

and thanks for the very good explanation.

For most of them - even though they are my patents - I cannot determine from the patent what it is that I have invented.

Burt wanted to go outside and take a walk. Weather permitting, we tried to walk every evening. We left the cafeteria and departed through the main door along with a stream of other people.

The building we exited was another one of the terrafoam projects. Terrafoam was a super-low-cost building material, and all of the welfare dorms were made out of it. They took a clay-like mud, aerated it into a thick foam, formed it into large panels and fired it like a brick with a mobile furnace. It was cheap and it allowed them to erect large buildings quickly. The robots had put up the building next to ours in a week.

The government had finally figured out that giving choices to people on welfare was not such a great idea, and it was also expensive. Instead of giving people a welfare check, they started putting welfare recipients directly into government housing and serving them meals in a cafeteria. If the government could drive the cost of that housing and food down, it minimized the amount of money they had to spend per welfare recipient.

Ultimately, you would expect that there would be riots across America. But the people could not riot. The terrorist scares at the beginning of the century had caused a number of important changes. Eventually, there were video security cameras and microphones covering and recording nearly every square inch of public space in America. There were taps on all phone conversations and Internet messages sniffing for terrorist clues. If anyone thought about starting a protest rally or a riot, or discussed any form of civil disobedience with anyone else, he was branded a terrorist and preemptively put in jail. Combine that with robotic security forces, and riots are impossible.

The only solution for most people, as they became unemployed, was government handouts. Terrafoam housing was what the government handed out.

Was it prison? Yes. But there were no walls. The food was good. The robots were as nice and respectful as they could be. You could walk outside wherever and whenever you wanted to. But there was an invisible edge. When you walked too far away from your building and approached that edge, two robots would approach you. I had tried it many times.

“Time to turn around Jacob Lewis105. There is construction in the next zone and, for your safety, we cannot allow you to proceed.” There were a hundred reasons the robots gave for making you turn around. Construction, blasting, contamination, flash flooding, train derailments, possible thunder storms, animal migrations and so on. They could be quite creative in their reasons. It was all part of their politeness. If you turned around you were fine. If you made any move in any direction other than the one suggested, you were immediately injected and woke up back in your room. I had only tried it twice.
I never had a Spectrum, but it's easy to understand the magic of such a device.

It's tiny, it's relatively cheap, it's simple enough to take apart (disassembled ROM, or dis-assembled hardware I suppose).

Sure, it was underpowered, and the keyboard was cheap. But for a kid, those can be features.

My first computer was a relatively luxurious TRS-80 Color Computer. My family could almost afford the 16KB version. It was a technically clean design, and I learned a lot, and here I am.

Give a kid a tiny machine, some documentation, and tell them it is theirs.
both zfs and nvidia do it, don't they? Or at least they haven't been in trouble over it :)
I feel like writing Rust is a whole lot faster and less error-prone than writing something in C. But even assuming that it's slower, it's definitely much faster than writing C and doing formal verification. Naturally formal verification can help with other properties besides memory safety, and as far as I am aware Rust is still lacking a formal semantics so when you go all-in on formal methods C can reach a provable level of quality that Rust currently cannot. But very few people develop software that way.
You can argue that it's growing and/or promising, but there is absolutely no way that the actual research funding coming out of blockchain-land can hold a candle to the big formal methods labs at major tech firms or traditional academic research funding.
>a bunch of idiots that have never learned anything the hard way

Why do people need to learn the hard way? Now that we have YouTube there's less of a need for so many people to repeat the same thing to learn something as opposed to watching a video on it.

I think this an interesting thing, where I think if you have the skill and savings to work in games, nobody is going to choose Epic which have provided little in value overall as far as actual useful consumer things go outside of free games, that steam has had for a long time (steam controller system, quality online save sync and mulitplayer, proton????, etc) over either an indie studio or a place like valve where (from my personal perspective) it seems like real innovation is happening -- between things like the steam deck and it being not only a really intersting powerful and open device but it also being repairable, to it also running linux and also things like their vr headsets where they at this point set the standard for a real premium experience, even occulous with all of Facebook's money hasn't created an experiencing that comes close to how amazing half life alyx is.

I hope valve succeeds in all their endevours because while I can only assume their efforts are not altruistic, they have improved so much of the linux ecosystem for what so far has only been at their own expense.
You’re describing neoliberalism, not the liberals or the left. Surveillance capitalism in the tech sector arose with the rise of FAANG, which depends on monetizing personal data for its models. The American political class is guilty of not regulating this industry, which came about as a result of the influence of the libertarian right, not the left. While entirely fictional, Dave Eggers' novel "The Circle" is an interesting overview of the surveillance zeitgeist and philosophy from a centrist POV. I wouldn’t really recommend the film as it’s terrible, but the book illustrates how every good tech idea is a slippery slope or double-edged sword. Every idea that has the potential to make us more free, also has the risk of enslaving us. The reason the tech sector requires regulation in this arena is because they aren’t willing to do it themselves as it impacts their profits. There’s nobody in DC looking out for the consumer or interested in protecting personal data, and that’s the most troubling part of the problem. Our representatives aren’t there to protect us, they are there to protect the donor class.
First off, car ownership is already quite expensive, even in the US. Even a paid-off $2000 beater will cost at least $250/month in registration, maintenance, gas, and insurance to operate. Probably more, if there's a long commute or paid parking. That's way more than any transit pass I know of and it's the absolute best case. A more typical case is needing to make car payments, which means paying interest and higher insurance rates, and tying up a significant portion of one's net worth and monthly cash flow in a depreciating asset (current used car market aside). I don't see how that's good for anyone's finances, let alone poor people. I own a car, but I still know it's a net negative in financial terms.

> makes car ownership very expensive

How much more expensive are we talking? If we say it's say $600/month to operate a beater, shouldn't the better job opportunities that are now available compensate for that? And if they don't - I mean, it's only $450/month more - how much better are these jobs anyway?

But hey, I don't know, maybe you're an expert on immigrant urban issues in France. Maybe you have in-depth knowledge that tells you that it's solely the availability of transit, and absolutely nothing else whatsoever, that has led to the current state of things.

This attitude has unfortunately also spread into the computing industry, and although some may attribute that to chasing profits, even a lot of FOSS has started to adopt the "you are too stupid to make your own decisions" position.
I do not believe Fermont is dying out, but it's flame has reduced considerably.

The economy over there is mostly driven by the price of iron which has ups and downs. The future is never certain.

Also, a lot of workers are doing fly-in fly-out contracts (mostly 7, 14 or 21 days in a row) hence the decline in population. It does have a toll on the local business and I'll add my grain of salt by saying that Fermont mostly had essential stores with the exception of a few non-essential ones which has mostly died since.

Furthermore, most people drive ~20-30 minutes to reach Labrador City and buy what they need from the multiple stores you can find (Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc). As for Amazon, I'm confident it's been used by many people and has an impact, but I personally doubt they could've have found these items locally if all these closed stores were still open.
Yeah and not just by a bit. My existing server went from 24 to 33€. I mean it's still cheap I guess, a 4th gen i7 with 16gb ram and 2tb HDD, but still, that's like a 50% increase for a machine that's mostly idle and occasional peak load.

> Are these sealed houses nice to live in or do they feel stale?

These well sealed houses actually have /better/ indoor air quality than a typical house designed for cross-flow from open windows. The reason is that they use powered ventilation that essentially runs all the time, so you have constant fresh air entering the house and stale air leaving, and you have specifically designed and planned exhaust points. The bonus to it is that it's much more energy efficient because the ventilation can be done using energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) which equalize the temperature between indoor and outdoor air +/- 3F, greatly reducing the cost to maintain a set temperature indoors while getting fresh air from outside, and the air can be filtered through MERV16 / HEPA filtration, reducing dirt and allergen ingress.

If done properly, the absolute best indoor air quality is found in Passivhaus construction.
Do not let them fool you. If they recognize you as a tourist they will happily switch to English, however broken theirs may be, however much trouble they might have speaking it.

If they recognize you as a 'local' (i.e. immigrant) and you don't speak French you will get into trouble in most places in Quebec. Even in Montreal though not everywhere in Montreal. If you aren't aware, Google about the referendum and the "OQLF" and their practices for example. It's very telling that even the Bank of Montreal moved their headquarters to Toronto back then.
I doubt that a person would have to drop to 75000$ to work at valve, i would imagine they can compete given how comically different their income streams are.
Is it really the distributed aspect? Or "just" working on a above average complicated project for many years?

The consequences of bugs in many distributed systems (and several other types of systems) are IME often harder to bear than e.g. UI or frontend workflow bugs. It's hard to have caused data loss. And at some point you probably will, even if you're quite careful.

Maybe I'm just projecting...
First part yes, second hell no. I haven't met testers in past 16 years with deeper dev knowledge (because they would be already doing that, usually better paid and more creative), business knowledge alone isn't gonna cut it. Unless testers are actually coding unit & integration tests in same language and platform (again, never saw or even heard about that, normally devs did those).

Another thing is that if you go external -> itnernal, you save time and money on whole hiring process. That's quite a bit of valuable time of senior people, and at least in corporate sphere easily 6 month salary of the hire that would go to agency.
I think it's poetic license + humour. I doubt they were literally pumping/injecting, just dousing his arm generously.

You raise a very important point, that I have seen at work in the Finance industry.

It goes like this: Large consulting companies are structurally incompetent and keep running to the ground financial and government IT projects. After starting to see their lunch taken by small specialized and competent small operations, a underground operation starts to require the regulator to force companies working in the space to get certified as "Financial Services Provider". Regulations will make sure the number of required certified professionals, minimum capital etc...Are of a nature to drive out the competent small boutiques.

Projects are of course still done, by forcing the small companies to subcontract on a 2nd and 3nd level via the now certified ( but still incompetent) large consulting companies.

Without cloning there would not be anything what we have today and no indie developers as well.

DOOM clones was a thing of past. There were many of them.
Then Diablo clones - Sacred was one of them I liked. Torchlight or Path of Exile should not exist by the logic of article and OP.

If a clone is better and is outperforming original, then clone makers are doing right thing. In the big view on future, patents or any other restrictions on knowledge are only limiting overall progress.
