This has got to be an Apple mole attempting corporate sabotage in the Windows team, right? right? :-)

This comment is a joke, to be clear. But the idea of irrelevant infobars / ads in Windows Explorer is ... pretty daft.
And it still holds true for development today! Really any organization that has multiple languages should consider making their devs lives easier with Make.

And of course, it plays great with Docker & Compose, here's a write-up we did on using Make with container tooling:

Maybe we don't need Windows anymore. Even Elden Ring works pretty well using wine.
Finish setting up your i<device>. It doesn't go away.

Nowhere near as evil as what the other guys are doing, though.
No not at all. But at that point it is less about them and more about everyone else.

For petty crime like fencing stolen goods, they are looking at a few weeks in jail at most. Not going to change their outlook very much, but will probably discourage them from fencing goods out in the open (at least in Seattle). This focus on petty crime works well for Bellevue (but forces the problem on Seattle).

The current crackdown, the cops aren't arresting anyone for fencing goods even when it's obvious what they are doing. Instead they are just telling them to leave (this happened a few times while we were waiting for the bus at 3rd and Pine a couple of days ago)...not a solution, they will definitely be back.
Do we have a special name for storing numbers in data structures?

Do we have special names for storing strings in data structures?

Do we have special names for storing lists in data structures?

Do we have special names for storing source code as strings in data structures?

Do we have special names for storing abstract syntax trees as data structures?

Do we have special names for storing compiled code as data structures?

Do we have special names for storing pairs of compiled code and related memory in data structures?

Why do we need special names for storing functions in data structures?

When I filter the list of numbers it's not a strategy pattern. Neither is when I filter the string list, or the AST list, or the compiled code+closure list. But, somehow, if it's a function list then it's a strategy pattern.

Free your mind of unnecessary labels.
In Jan2009 Windows had 95% marketshare across OSes. It’s now at 31% (accounting for iOS/Android). I would compare Windows to all OSes not just desktop OSes as I think mobile OSes do directly compete with Windows, I do know people who use iPads but not PCs.

I think Windows did well in the last year due to its strength in the WFH/education market and the convertible laptop market. If we look at stats from the last year we might think that traditional desktop PCs have a bright future but this is ignoring the broader picture. People are buying Windows PCs to do stuff like using desktop office applications that Microsoft seems to want to replace with rewritten web versions in the long run.

Windows faces a rock and a hard place sort of situation with its x86_64 dependence. It’s a long term liability but a transition to ARM or whatever would remove much of the competitive advantage Windows has. It’s solution to complete with Apple and it’s ARM convergence is to emulate ARM + Android and offer ARM windows alongside x86 windows which is a bit half-assed and disjointed.

Windows is also losing its software moat more and more every year regardless of what it does.

I mean, I think you can make a case for the future of WindowsNT but moves like the record levels of adware in Windows to me project a lack of confidence in the long term future of Windows given the indifference to poisoning the platform. It doesn’t make me go “Wow Microsoft is out to prove the haters wrong who underestimate the benefits of WinNT!”
Look at the in depth analysis I did of the die shot and SOC floorplan. Or even read the article I originally wrote I was right on the CPU architectural gains. Apple pushed clockspeed up slightly, but IPC was less than 5%.

If the implant played back an audio recording of his notes or something, then sure. But if it allowed the student to communicate with a medical expert during the exam, then even an open-book exam not requiring memorization could be exploited that way.
The size is going to depend on the set of features enabled and I expect that build has everything turned on so that it can be used for all the demos.

I did a quick check of a CM6 project (customizing the JS lexer) with the base options and a JS-derived lexer and it came out to 405k / 124k gzip. I wouldn't consider it especially lightweight but I think the size is reasonable for the feature set.

ML training compute has grown by a factor of 10B over the last 12 years
This remind me of how strict Chinese national exams are (Gaokao). They even have signal jammers to prevent external communication.
There are medical databases specifically for things like this (not available to the general public), but doctors often don’t reference them because of false confidence or time pressure.
Good observation. I would not be surprised if the answer to your question is, Yes. An MRI does have some effect on currently active memories and thought. It seems to a non-scientist like me that it would be difficult to use the usual tools to measure this inside an MRI tube, so maybe a hard question to answer for even the experts in measuring such things.

Plenty of folks who do not consider themselves claustrophobic just completely fritz out inside an MRI tube. Could their usual ability to reason about and maintain composure be reduced by just such interference?
I have tested the player on Chrome/Firefox/Safari on Mac and Chrome on Ubuntu 21. It should be working. LMK if you are encountering an issue.

The tool to create the videos right now is only available on Mac and Windows. We have an internal Linux build, but we aren't releasing it yet.
ATS for Startups
What's the most used ATS (applicant tracking system) among Y Combinator startups?
I dunno if it's a Home or Pro issue, but if things get really bad, people will just begin to venture back to computer stores (Off Torrent Street) in the urban part of town and get a bootleg copy of winblows 2024 as they did in the past, then company sales will drop and they'll need to re-evaluate everything all over again.

It's a vicious cycle.
> It wasn't that long ago though that a substantial voting bloc supported pro-Russian parties.

It'd be really interesting to get some polling data on those people. It's hard to imagine that they don't feel betrayed. After all, the russian speaking population has been subjected to the harshest and most violent portions of this conflict, albeit incidentally.
Easily LibreWolf in my optics!
Which is bad, because if developers (who know the work that goes into building software better than anybody else) aren’t very willing to pay, it’s hopeless to expect your average person to be willing to pay for software.

Like most cities, criminality is highly dependent on where you are and what time it is. The rampant homelessness issue is clearly evident and the only city from my experience that rivals Seattle's homeless rate is Honolulu. Honolulu also imposed stricter criminal laws at the time I lived there.

We did not encounter any direct criminality against us while we lived there, although my wife had a close call. She stayed late to finish up work and left her internal office door unlocked to grab food. Within that 15 minute window, someone hopped a fencing structure, gained entry to the building, and managed to steal anything he thought was important. It was one of the few offices unlocked. Thankfully she did not surprise him in the act.

Camera recordings provided a clear description of the perpetrator and police found him within 20 minutes at a local homeless encampment. A 19-year-old kid high on meth with a long criminal history including rape. Police recovered everything and returned it after holding it as evidence. It's an incredibly sad situation all around.
Don't worry if you say `never`, it will still offer it to you later....
Indeed.

It can also serve as additional proof if on the new answer sheet given after confiscating the devices, the exam taker performs significantly worse than on the original answer sheet.
What counterstrike? If he pops a small, relatively clean nuclear weapon over a Ukrainian airfield, the United States will almost certainly not retaliate against the Russian homeland — that path nearly inevitably leads to general war. This is doubly true if Putin decides to cause a high-altitude nuclear EMP event.

We are in a serious policy vice and the odds of him resorting to a nuclear demonstration are non-zero and grow by the day. Even the best outcome of that scenario likely means a massive proliferation crisis as countries around the world put plans into effect to join the nuclear club ASAP.

Sophie's analysis contemplates a set unit volume and fixed costs related to design and verification and tape out.
Mine is on pure cost/transistor based on wafer costs as a player like Apple has the units to spread fixed costs over.
This makes me nervous. I am realising we are at the end of a giant saas experiment. Get users, monetise them later. If Microsoft take the OS down this route then I am offski. It's not about parting with cash, it's about forcing crap on people who don't want it.
Well clearly windows is not the only OS, so your thesis seems inaccurate. It's not even the only PC OS, arguably there are 2 serious Desktop OS's, Windows and MacOS. With Linux desktop a very distant 3rd.

On servers there is Linux and Windows Server, with a few minor 3rds (BSD maybe?).

On phones there are 2, 3rd place quit.

In the cloud there are 2 providers in AWS and Azure. With Google a distant 3rd.

Are you spotting a trend? Seems like each platform will support 2 to 3 players, usually with one dominant, one subordinate, and possibly one or two also-rans.

When the platform is new there's lots of variety, but as the sector matures so the 2 winners emerge.

Turns out that OSs are only as good as their developer community, and developers will support 1 or 2 platforms, not more. So 3rd place exists on scraps with few users and fewer developers.

This has nothing to do with what a generation decides - each platform has a winner and a follower, and little else.

To change the OS you have to change the platform, or invent a new one. Or maybe 2nd can overtake first (chrome over firefox/ie) but examples of that are rare.

So don't be blaming a generation, the players are just the players - the game is the game.

I wonder what the age limit is on stuff like this. So many young folks experiencing crippling anxieties that are impacting their ability to navigate the world at an age where it's going to have longstanding ramifications for relationships and careers.
I can understand why you might think this, but you're factually incorrect in this case.

In the United States, the supply of medical doctors is artificially limited by state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine without a license. Licensing requires successful completion of an accredited medical residency program, which on turn requires completing an MD degree from an accredited medical school. The American Medical Association and similar state-level groups effectively control the number of residency and med school slots by controlling the accreditation process.

Most of the rest of the world has similar systems in place, including India.

On the one hand, the AMA system has been described as a means of guaranteeing the quality of doctors, and preventing unsuspecting patients from being hurt, killed, or defrauded by poorly trained doctors.

On the other hand, it's also been described as cartel designed to allow doctors to charge inflated prices for medical care, by limiting the supply of doctors, and extracting unreasonable rent from the public.

Most economists would agree that both descriptions are basically correct.
It's a shame this doesn't work for Java in particular (not JS) as Java's coding conventions/requirements do not lend themselves at all to manually updating a list of file dependencies.
>> Ukraines NATO aspirations

>This is irrelevant.

>>The US also has the power to to give Russia some or all of what it wants.

>No, it doesn't have that power at all.

This is literally one of Russias demands, which the US has the power to unilaterally grant or deny.

US arms, money, and support are necessary if Ukraine has any chance of long term success. NATO will always fall in line with US demands.

It's the cognitive dissonance of a certain party that equates socialism with evil when it's distributed fairly but a necessity when influential special interests receive a benefit.
While the structure of the human-filled government positions was indeed rebuilt, there was a continued reliance on English common law, to the point that I believe early after the revolution courts still used English cases as precedent. What I was taught in high-school was that the French Revolution was more tumultuous because it relied much more on tearing down the establishment than the American Revolution did.
I’ve been noticing this for a while, but I no longer “own” my devices. I’m buying the product and continually paying for it with my attention. Everything I have can be taken away.

Empty spaces filled with ads, telemetry with zero opt-out, data watched by thousands of eyes, DRM for home appliances.

At what point will people do something about this? I have a feeling that even though all of us use technology for hours every day, only a few have even a basic understanding of what they are doing. Everyone else isn’t even aware of what’s happening and blindly click away their rights.
>as Americans we love to talk about democracy and freedom a lot more than slavery / Jim Crow, or whether all of our military endeavors hold up as well as WWII.

There are certainly dark corners that remain in the American psyche expressly because we keep kicking that can down the road. This is how the confederacy and southern identity became intertwined, because it wasn't and still isn't made completely socially unacceptable. Let's not forget the Northern states were damn racist, they just drew the line at slavery. And before all the bodies were buried, before the constitution amended to make slavery illegal, the top Confederates, traitors to the United States, were forgiven.

Instead of the United States completely destroying a mortal enemy that tried to destroy the United States, Lincoln, Grant, Johnson, forgave. Grant should not have sat in a chair with Lee at Appomattox. Robert Lee and Jefferson Davis should have been executed for treason. As well as the all of the officers. The constitution of the Confederacy unquestionably stated slavery to be a permanently protected institution in perpetuity. But let's face it, the North didn't have the moral character to do what was necessary. Northern states were too sympathetic to the ingrained national racism.

The fact is, black folks deserved then and still now the promise of a country that did not and does not exist. Only in some nascent sense does it hopefully exist today. But there has never been a reconciliation, and even in 2022 this country does not live up to its ideals, promises, laws - not to black Americans, and not to native Americans.

This is how you get a president of the United States in 2016 who maliciously and intentionally destroyed the livelihood of a black man who takes a knee to try and make white folks aware of the fact this country doesn't stand for everyone. And I am as shocked and appalled at how even NFL management and owners could just look the other way and go along with that, as I am shocked and appalled that signatories to the U.N. charter that insists only defensive wars against imminent attack are legal, and that wars of aggression to expand borders are the supreme international crime - I did trust Russia and China more than I should have. They're really looking like they're going to be outside the UN charter system of international law. That's really dreadful.
If you get status from being a drug addicted vagrant reselling stolen merchandise and living off of charity then I suspect you could get "status" from a wide variety of things - many of which are legal and preferable.

I don't believe there is a "criminal hierarchy" here. It's not like this guy is a level 2 fence working a theft team. I assume it's a loose association of drug addicts, drug dealers, petty thieves, dumpster divers, and resellers with lots of overlap on every category.
If he doesn't want to help himself I see only 2 options then, either A) cut him off of all services and let him hit bottom to the point where he will want help or B) go to prison, get out and get better himself (if not, repeat)
You're expecting normal people to successfully invent the car? I have much more faith in them forming a relationship with a paying customer, and offering a small process improvement through a MVP.

An MVP will also help with appropriately market timing of your product. If the client is asking for a faster horse, you might want to look at innovating the saddle or horseshoe first. You might be 1000 years too early with your car engine idea.
Do you really need proprietary EDA tools to get started on designing custom chips? Higher-level design languages like Chisel are showing a lot of potential right now, with full CPU cores being designed entirely in such languages. Of course EDA will be needed once the high-level design has to be ported to any specific hardware-fabbing process, but that step should still be relatively simple since most potential defects in the high-level design will have been shaken out by then.
Customer development is always important. What constitutes an MVP may change, based on the industry or the customer, but the concept of talking to your customers regularly, understanding their problems, and iterating quickly doesn’t change.

As much as a founder would like to say they are the customer… they aren’t. They are a customer, and finding the commonalities amongst potential customers so you can build something they want is important. The founder being a customer just kickstarts that process and means the founder can ask better (aka “the right”) questions.

Which markets are you referring to? Gov requires customer dev, which is why there are often grants. Med requires customer dev, as building simply a better device rarely wins - it needs to be much better than existing solutions, and the only way you get there is by finding out what the problems are with existing solutions. Same goes for banking, etc

Domain and market expertise is always a benefit, but rarely a strict requirement for success. The ability to listen carefully, and iterate quickly, is much more important.
Code style is a trivial issue to solve with modern tools. And even before that, most review I’ve seen simply left a single comment “Hey, you forgot to indent ;)”

If you are having intense discussions about code style, that’s an organizational redflag and a sign there’s a talent issue in the org (it’s really bike shedding).

I wouldn't say really destroyed by the phone market, but yes, I feel like the markets are getting more and more specialized. From what I've seen Windows machine still have two big markets: Companies (for various software compatibility / historical reasons) and Gaming. If I look at all the persons I know using Windows as their main OS, and that's quite a few, reason nb 1 is video games.
> I can assure you nothing of what remains in my brain was shaped by society

> I lack the words to stress how much this is intimate and personal. Now to each his own brain, some people might have very few emotional attachment, I'm not like this

So are you a robot then? Wherever you are from, your mind is a product of your influences and local culture and customs, just as much as it is also a product of your schooling and your family life. Given that we humans just absolutely love to meddle in the love lives of others, I can promise you that some of that cultural training includes guidance on how to structure your romantic relationships, and it almost certainly proscribes one man and one woman.

Unless you have spent a considerable amount of time examining these beliefs and have specifically chosen to reject the ones that your society has given you, I would argue that your brain is very much not your own in that sense.

If the opposite were true then things like propaganda would have a much harder time existing. We would have a perfect, rational world society that I dearly wish existed. Appeals to emotion would fall on deaf ears! How amazing that would be!

Instead we have entire countries full of people that live or die because of "cultural differences" aka the shit that society pollutes your mind with. One might argue that we are watching that play out with Ukraine vs Russia right now.
