Exactly. It’s like after the dot com boom no one can be content to get normal rich. Everyone wants to get “exponential” rich with software leverage. I know several people that serve as interpreters (Chinese/English) and the amount of work and dedication it takes makes me feel ashamed when I think of how comparatively easy it was for me to learn how to code and how much of a disparity between our pay there is. I think I’m pretty libertarian-minded, but the business mindset of the modern world is so shitty. Some things can’t be automated with acceptable quality, but it seems like our MBA overlords just can’t countenance paying a human being to do skilled work unless it’s something flashy like React.
And I much prefer this system every time I have to change a tire so not to play the gamble of “will my tpms die before the next change?”. And even if you change them, the chances of an aftermarket one dying and having to deal with that.

I don’t care what pressures the tires have as long as they are good. If I stop to inflate one, I check all of them anyway, with a real gauge. But that’s just me, I know.
Renewables are more sparsely deployed (no real way to take them all in a quick sweep), and don't create risk whenever exposed to battles/missiles/...

The person you’re replying to didn’t say there isn’t a labor shortage. Only that the cause of the labor shortage is oft incorrectly identified as solely due to demand.
True, but the alternative of not pushing back leads to an even more dystopian future so I'll take picking a fight with them
When you inflate them you press the “set” button so it knows what the base is. If one suddenly starts geting more angular velocity constantly than it’s likely it lost air
I’d say you don’t need k8s. You just need a good terraform module to set things up for quickly on multiple providers.

K8s is worth all the work cus then you can scale magically. You don’t need to scale magically. You just need to be able to easily deploy.

In fact if you think scale will never be an issue you could just run it on hardware, seems like everything would easily fit in a single server.

I see some great recommendations in the thread already, but I think https://cocalc.com is definitely worth checking out if you consider yourself to still be more of a learner. Their focus seems to really be on helping people who are new to the field get started. It offers familiar Jupyter Notebook-like features so you should feel right at home.

I have no affiliation with them whatsoever :) Just a fan of what they’re doing.
Does it have a constraint solver? I think that might be the kind of functionality you need most: move this while that stays fixed, or keeping this at a fixed distance from that, etc.

I should probably also add that myself, a english speaking Malaysian Chinese would probably have to use english or malay with a random group of penang people since I can't speak mandarin - so from a purely practical point of view, given Malaysia and Singapore are a mishmash of southern dialects, we again come back to

English
Mandarin
Malay
Then one of the various major dialects - and even then once you start moving around the country the Penang hokkien speaker in KL has to either switch to english or mandarin and the KL cantonese speaker in penang has to switch to mandarin and english and at the end of the day, with both the PRC and ROC using Mandarin as the common tongue, and the same situation existing for any other sinophere country bar Hong Kong...there we go.

If you go overseas and meet a random other Chinese person, your heuristics of common language are again going to skew

English or Mandarin then Cantonese then only one of the others so...

It is winning if we discuss in context of ".NET desktop strategy sucks" and Ruby/Python not having any strategy for cross platform desktop UI.
This was exactly my experience too.

It took an experienced .net developer two weeks to deploy a .net app to ec2. You had to install .net framework (the versions are so messed up) and then configure IIS to serve the app which due to some weird reason was not picking up the app due to some app pool issue. It was a nightmare.

With Java everything all configurations are in one file and I am done. No tinkering with myriad hidden registry values.

This is delightful! I got stuck against the far right library wall after the research papers page and couldn't escape so I had to start over, but I adore the concept. That said, I'm glad I don't need to navigate a site like this every time I need to find any information at all, because fun as that would be it would take way too long lol.
If the time portion of the view isn't using `requestAnimationFrame`, it probably should be. Otherwise deferring to `setInterval` sets a weird cadence for the time changing.
There absolutely isn't a labor shortage with translators. There's plenty of talent out there, it's just that many are not willing to work for the peanuts that big companies are offering so they end up doing something else to get by instead. If the companies tripled or quadrupled their current rates, many who have abandoned the field in the past due to poor compensation would jump right back in.

We had a good demonstration of the above here in Finland a while back. There's been a lot of talk here about a "nurse shortage", but the reality is that most places just aren't willing to pay nurses well. When an individual company announced an opening for nurses with way higher pay, they were flooded with qualified applicants - many which came from people who had quit nursing previously due to poor pay.

I haven't checked the references in the parent paper but I wouldn't be surprised if the one you want is in there: these peeps drilled down deep.
I hope we eventually get phased array optics on smartphones (or just in general). Imagine the whole back of the phone is a sheet of nanosized optical components able to determine the angle of incoming photons.

Off the bat, that could capture 3D environments, but with a large enough sensor, you could digitally zoom in basically indefinitely.

Phased-array optics exist for larger wavelengths, but it’s likely they’ll eventually exist for visible light as nanomanufacturing improves.
Correct. Arguably, Smith shows his remarkable understanding of globalization when he talks about the manufacturing of a woollen coat. He rightly observes that a huge number of people must have worked jointly on the production of even such a simple item, and some of the materials made use of, such as dyes, might have come from the remotest corners of the world. This is in the very first book and chapter of WoN.
In regards to this comment:

> Guess there will be some more lawmaking involved, to define these expected lifetimes.

There are expected lifetimes established as part of the track record of consumer cases about laws implementing EU directive 1999/44/EC. While some countries go further (e.g. the UK's 6 years for manufacturer defects was in place even while they were in the EU), for electronics that's usually held at 2 years for the EU minimum.
There were various treaties made with the Soviet Union that limited such defences (1-2 sites per country?) as they were seen as destabilizing by weakening MAD. Reagan’s Star Wars program was both an attempt to develop such capabilities and spend out the Soviets. People thought it worked, I guess.

I think some of the theatre missile defence systems have a ballistic capability and they might do well against individual launches. Not sure there’s much that can be done vs SLBM other than hope.
I'm certain this was a high-level deal between the two companies, and both executives got a bonus while the lower down in the org chart you go more obvious it is how awful these are.

That would be awesome, because right now it lists my city as ideal and I thought it sucked lol! Yes the temperature is not extreme but when the humidity is 600% it feels like a sauna
The same can be said about people complaining how taxis in their cities were dirty, inconvenient etc.

Now instead of having this patchwork, we have one giant monolithic taxi provider (Uber) that threatens both the good and bad taxi services of old. And because Uber is more than happy to subsidize rides thanks to VC funding having an equal/superior experience is often not enough to compete.
Haven’t we had water resistant watches for quite a long time already?

I wonder how much the insurance companies could do on this (legally, politically, and practically). They've got real skin in the game, and far less incentive to listen to lobbyists or condo owners.
This is a very good start.

If they did the same for screens, I wouldn't be surprised if the phone sales dropped to half or even less.

There is no way companies like Apple and Samsung will be OK with this. I expect big pushback from them.

If these steps go through, it will be interesting to see what other planned obsolescence [1] methods will these companies go for.

The one big tool Apple has is the full control of the software ecosystem. They can simply make newer apps unavailable for old phones for example. That will need to be tackled at some point.

Seems to be putting the cart before the horse as long as batteries are allowed to have DRM that hinders third-party replacements, but a good step nevertheless.
The original poster is going slightly off the beaten path and therefore has to manually compose three or four different concepts together to come to the right solution vs relying on the out of the box experience.

I, and a lot of other devs, would be able to solve this particular problem without looking up the docs but I can’t assume any knowledge on the poster’s behalf so I posted the links to the docs about the building blocks and an article showing one possible way of composing them.

The same exact problem as posed by the poster was thought of by the dotnet/aspnet teams and the pieces (apis/docs/samples) are all there, just not the default.
I think the zero-knowledge proof bit is how some password managers authenticate the users to their system. 1Password for example, uses the secure remote password protocol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Remote_Password_protoco... , that is mentioned in https://blog.1password.com/1password-is-layerup-ed-with-mode... as a zero-knowledge password authenticated key agreement when you login to fetch the blob of encrypted password data from 1password.
Our lack of research funding in the US over the last few decades has been appalling. It makes no sense to pull back they way we did after making such wild gains on the back of it.

Open source knowledge is literally the greatest thing since sliced bread. By some odd chance, a few people at Sun open-sourced Java and literally changed the world for the better. Look at the productivity and opportunity that is now available to everyone because of it. Look at how it spurred real competition and gave birth to new technology. It lit a fire under everyone's ass! One small example of how unleashing academic innovation can help lift everyone.
My water-resistant watches with user replaceable batteries beg to differ. I bet the margin wouldn't be as high but it would certainly be doable from an engineering point of view.
Some alternatives:

qwant.com, based in the EU, using their own index without tracking.

ecosia.org, based in the EU, backed by Bing but with their own algorithm for filtering the results.

swisscows.com, based in the EU, backed by anonymized Bing results.

I've been using pass with passff to do the same for a few years. Works well. Any idea how gopass and gopass bridge compare?

I am tempted to try gopass, but if pass is good enough for Jason Donenfeld it's good enough for me!
A couple that come to mind:

This will make various compact designs difficult/impossible (such as airpods or other small wireless earbuds).

This will make waterproofing difficult/impossible/lower quality for many device classes (phones, earbuds, etc). Waterproofing on these devices requires adhesive (not easily replaceable) or ultrasonic welding (not user serviceable at all).
I really hope a law like this actually affects something.

I know it isn't a thing most people think about, but after loosing so many things to just passive battery degradation because I forgot to keep them charged, I would just really want batteries to be easier to swap.

And I really cannot understand the people that want their device to be unusable if they forget to charge it. The dumbest one being VR controllers, since you quite simply cannot comfortably/usably charge them with a wire while playing, but people want integrated batteries still.
Of course, but I’m talking about Russia - the state, not the nation - as it is now. I’ve added “current” to make this more obvious.
Water resistance was my first thought as well, however I suspect a company with the R&D budget of Apple could likely find a way. The small dimensions of the watch might be a problem, but for phones I'm fairly certain it can be done.

For a while companies like Motorola were selling nano-repellent (essentially hydrophobic) coating phones and calling them splash proof. You could easily design a gasket or something, existing waterproof phones already have parts that open for eg the sim card or microsd slot (which are gasketed).
I don't think they were comparing WASM to Kubernetes. In the context of the comment you replied to, I read it as WASM potentially obsoleting _containers_ as opposed to _complex orchestration platforms_.

> WASM is 1% of what Kubernetes does, it's an alternative to runc nothing more

It'd be interesting if you could expand on this. I don't think WASM does _any_ of what Kubernetes does.
I'm not too far into protobuf, etc., but do you only prefer them for your internal services, or do you actually see them as a viable solution for public-facing APIs?
This sounds like a joke but I can assure you it’s not.

Socialist planning economy, that is all that is. It sounds good on paper, but will just make things more wasteful and expensive.

Uber if anything makes taxis less productive and efficient, a big taxi company can take care car repairs in a very efficient way.

The magic of Uber is taking those hidden costs and pushing them on the drivers, now the cars get fixed in a much less efficient way, but the ones taking the risk are the drivers, so Uber wins overall.
Not everyone is interested in writing books...so no reason for them to learn to read or write.

It isn't different: you can get insurance for those things in the US or pay for them directly (no employer or government subsidy). That's exactly the same as what the GP suggests.

Plenty of companies even provide tiered insurance for executives and their families. So whether insurance is all employer-provided, private, government provided, or a mix, in the US one is almost certain to be able to buy something above and beyond the basics out-of-pocket.
I think all your examples are "simpler but less powerful" instead of "simpler yet more powerful".

Thank you for an extremely detailed write up, I wasn’t aware of this chapter in post-Soviet history.

It’s interesting to consider, the Soviet economy had endemic corruption which Russia still faces today. Would spending roughly 200 billion in 1991 to support reconstruction in Russia have resulted in any change to the Russian oligarchy? Or would the money have gone in and reappeared elsewhere? Or would the money have supported those who wanted a strong Russian Society and prevented the rise of the oligarchy?
How will this make things more wasteful? If anything it should cut down on waste by allowing people to replace just a battery rather than throwing the whole phone away
We use a tool called AutoFixture to automatically generate objects being tested. It will automatically mock constructor dependencies, so a change like you described doesn't require any test changes unless the new mock requires some setup for the test to pass.
