Agreed that it's not necessarily a creative type role, though I don't think it's a stretch to say that creativity would help find new methods of optimising costs.

My mental model of TC is based on a not-very-recent reading of Steve Jobs' bio but it did not leave me with the impression that he was a dealmaker, more of a behind-the-scenes director coming up with innovative ways for Apple to optimise time/costs. I may be wrong though.

In any case, I think the actual rub is that sales vs creative is a false dichotomy; operations/logistics may not be a creative role but it also doesn't fit the sales profile in that dichotomy (imho).

Richard Sakwa tries (at length) to explain Putin's thinking. Sakwa is probably the best Western scholar for this, as he seems to have put more effort than others into understanding the Russian perspective.

TL;DR

Western diplomatic relations with post-Soviet Russia were very badly managed. Russians grew increasingly frustrated.

In deciding on war, Putin miscalculated in at least four ways:

1. He under-estimated the scale of Ukrainian resistance, and over-estimated the capacity of the Russian military.

2. He under-estimated the intensity of the Western response.

3. He over-estimated the Russian popular appetite for war.

4. He under-estimated the destabilizing effect on the Russian political order.

Sakwa sees a fundamental incompatibility with how the West and Russia model their security concerns. He doesn't have great hopes for mutually satisfactory resolution.
It's possible that they are tracking how many times an installer gets used without violating your privacy. Installers can be shared online or you can install it on someone else's computer. It's not like they are specific to a person.
Yes to this whole thing. I’ve been working on serializing some similar ideas about photography, and it’s very heartening to see someone else on a similar page. I never say it, because I know it would make me insufferable, but I always mentally object when someone talks about a photo ‘capturing’ something other than a pattern of light.
Thank you - likewise appreciated, and points acknowledged. The gulfs between Technically Correct and Socially Correct are ever grounds for debate, but mutual understanding wins the day.

Why you should work asynchronously
When licensing something open-source; there should be proof that, within reasonable allowance, that the source should be viewable, downloadable, and modifiable by any customer or person who is aware of the software.

I don't get how so many companies say they are "open source" but there's not a single line of uncompiled code available even on request.
I don’t think this difference is as culturally bound as you suggest when you are talking about photography as art. You can absolutely find photographers who make choices differently in either country.

Photography with light leaks, distorted color from expired film, imperfections, composition from the hip, abstractions, etc. is easily found around the world. Remember that editing is as critical a part of the artistic process as the construction of the photo.
To tell how many downloads result in an actual install http logs are not enough. You will get extra noise on top of the data you care about.
Frequently enough, I find I need to ignore the `engines` property, since so many packages work in newer versions of node, but claim incompatibility. It’s well intentioned, but not very useful.

Well, it's complicated in the sense that you couldn't work out the conversion without a computer, but on the other hand it's simple in the sense that the only parameters would be position on the Earth's surface and date/time.

Also, I've read that counting 12 hours from sunrise to sunset was in fact how several ancient peoples did it. They didn't even necessarily count hours at night, only watches.

> The fact that anything exists at all. I’m not talking about matter-antimatter asymmetry or consciousness, but rather the fact that there is no causality-compatible answer to “where did the universe and whatever it exists within come from?”

You're asking "where it came from?" in the sense of "who pushed the first domino over in the chain of events?". A more interesting question is "what keeps it going?".

As in: if the universe/reality was a song, who is playing the instrument that is making the sound?

Vertical integration is still anti-competitive in the general sense of making a market less efficient and reducing consumer agency (which is two ways of saying the same thing).

Ideally, a consumer would be able to choose all combinations of which shows they watch on which streaming services on which devices. But when electronics companies start buying up content producers and offering their own streaming services, you start running into situations where only certain streaming services offer certain content. That benefits the streaming services like Amazon here, but not consumers.

We should be particularly worried about this when it comes to media because media is one of the primary ways that culture propagates itself today. When you let a handful of trillion-dollar companies own the majority of stories that people listen to help build their understanding of the world, you put a ton of control in the hands of people who really shouldn't have it.

It is a bit crazy if you do it for hot code reloading, though, as the logic has now changed.

In the case of JIT, it may swap the bytecode but the flow of execution remains the same.

Hot code reloading usually requires a different approach.

I think the solution is in reforming capital gains taxes. You should only get the discount on taxes if you hold for 5+ years. And even then, the brackets should be more progressive for extreme (e.g. hundreds of millions) in income.
You are repeatedly throwing up known irrelevancies.

Hydrogen, by the way, is also synthetic, and also fuel, and also usable for aviation. Thus, "synthetic LH2 aviation fuel".

So, no, you are apparently trying, instead, to promote synthetic or mined kerosene, and doing it by trying to distract attention from its most appealing alternative. Ineptly.

We know that mined kerosene will become increasingly expensive, relative to synthesized hydrogen, as electric power cost declines. Synthetic kerosene might become cheaper than mined, or anyway than mined-plus-carbon-taxes. It will certainly never be cheaper than hydrogen, which is an essential ingredient.

Will synthetic kerosene be able to compete with the radically better value proposition of LH2 fuel? Only insofar as synthetic kerosene helps to preserve the capital value of existing airframes. But airframes have to be replaced anyway as they age out.

To me a photograph is far from the truth. It's a fascimile of the world through a mechanical / chemical / digital process. The camera is not comparable to human vision and the trend on smartphones with their post-processing gets it even farther away.

Not to say I don't like photographs.

Why do those things exists at all? And not 'why did they start in the first place', but rather why don't they stop existing? What causes them to keep going?

That doesn't answer anything, it just moves it to another layer of the stack: what is running the simulation?

Proxies for the thing you really want to know are pretty useful when you can check the proxy cheaply and the thing you really want to know is (comparatively) expensive to test.

Ideally Russian software development is forced to be bogged down in vetting and forced away from using any open source libraries and tools.
The only entitlement that is relevant here is get-task-allow. But that would allow anyone to get a control task port for your application and do with it as they may. This functionality was not designed to be used in production — except for debugging.

The debugger entitlement is even more powerful, but once again since you’re modifying your own memory you don’t need it.
He's undoubtedly a world class indie developer, but we were discussing his abilities as a programmer, in the sense of writing good code. True, it's not necessarily important or valuable in life, but that is what we were talking about.

Most of the people I worked with at my FAANG job were excellent programmers, surely better than Marco, but none of them would have any chance of even coming up with a decent idea for an app, let alone carry it through and launch it. So they are absolutely useless as indie developers. It's just different skill sets.

Yep, you are absolutely right, and hence why this is a proof-of-concept after all and a start really. With the proper tweaks to the linker though I am sure it would be possible orchestrate updates in such a way as to not clobber any existing global state or cause weird UB (by overwriting the code a thread is currently executing, etc.). Either way, thanks so much for the feedback!

Financialization can be good for consumers in the right context. Being a cutting edge processor company is not one of them, though.

But there are plenty of products that become "perfected" over time, and investing into R&D can just be wasteful and raise the breakeven price of the product, thus raising cost to consumers.

It's true that a company could strive to become a conglomerate and in theory get higher returns on new R&D, but it's been proven that conglomerates often lose focus and are harder to carry into perpetuity. Generally conglomerates that spin off focused companies create more overall value.

Though depends how you define financialization of course. In this context I just mean cost cutting, being strategic about lowering marginal costs. Excessive dividends or buybacks don't tend to be good for consumers. In some cases they can lower the cost of capital for a business this allow more cost efficient financing though.

Why are translation services the issue here? Why isn’t the issue: non-English speakers allowed to practice medicine on people without being able to talk to them. I’m seriously fed up with this nonsense. If I’m moving to a country, I’m learning the damned language. Reply to me if you want to talk to someone who endured 5 years of university education delivered incoherently by non-English speakers. I wasted lots of money on poor education, but there are people dying because their doctor doesn’t even have to speak the same language as them in their own country. When did this become acceptable? How is this not gross negligence?
>HTML to PDF is also a pain: you have to set up an instance that is running headless Chromium, which can be quite slow...

There are at least 6 non-Chromium alternative that I can think of in a moment's notice, and also LGPL wkhtmltopdf.

>Office to PDF.... You have to hack together a headless OpenOffice to have it work at all, but it doesn't do a great job... Microsoft does not offer a service to do this, unfortunately.

Microsoft sorta does offer a service to do this. Sharepoint has a word to pdf action, and with some stitching you can make it into an API. There are also several commercial solution (e.g. Spire.NET) for this and also ways exist to mangle the OpenXML into HTML (of course losing some fidelity into the process).

You're conflating smart business choices with good programming. His code could be well marketed shit that just barely works under the covers, but he sells it well (Narrator's voice: "It isn't shit...")

Marco is an excellent indie developer because he selects markets he has a good understanding of, finds his niche, then simply outclasses his competition by being ahead on features. He also has a loyal following from his podcasts, and is an aspirational figure for a lot of devs hoping to make money (or break free of corp serfdom).

A well written program/app isn't a necessary requirement for success.
They specifically cite the misrepresentation of the software as 'free and open source', they specifically say it's literally false as opposed to simply misleading, and they specifically say it's because they couldn't remove the Commons Clause. That means they are, in fact, judging whether the definition of free and open source includes the Commons Clause, and specifically judging that it doesn't. Either that means they're judging 'open source', or they're judging 'free', or 'free and open source' is its own third term that doesn't quite mean either.

There is a very large difference between "X is spying on Y" and "X could spy on Y if they started to record and correlate things". And even "I don't trust them not to" is not the same as "they are". A lot about privacy involves not looking at things you could look at.

E.g. picking the example mentioned repeatedly in this discussion: Network transfers annoyingly involve IP addresses. That doesn't mean every server you talk to is spying on you, and there is wide a range from "doesn't record anything", over "keeps a log of errors for 5 days that's only used for debugging", over "looks in GeoIP database and counts visitors per country", to "immediately connects your IP to your user profile and shares that data packet with 50 ad networks". I have a hard time calling the first three "spying", it starts IMHO somewhere after that. And annoyingly, telling the difference comes down to trust at some point.

Or even simpler, I could trivially spy on my neighbors with what reaches my apartment. I don't though.
Wait, but what about debuggers then? Plus hot-code reloading should only ever be used for quick development cycles when prototyping your app in debug mode, so very much what a debugger is used for, right? Additionally, I actually based the implementation of this PoC on lldb's debugserver for macOS.
This was my first bad experience and honestly what's soured me is the police response, not what happened on Eddy or how I feel when I visit after the fact.
I worked and did photography for quite a few years.

When working low end commercially you need to take the photo that the customer
is expecting.

That can mean making it very plain.

You take a photo of a sprocket that is evenly lit with a white background.
Snap. Usually this works out quite well and the client is happy.
I figure the vision is shared.

It can also mean that a woman wants a photo of herself as she sees herself
(Photoshop) Which is primarily a psychological challenge to understand how
she sees herself. (With a timer running).
The vision here is hers, and that is what I had to create.

I once had a client who wanted me to take photos of tufts of hair she was selling.
(not her own hair, she harvested it from human subjects)

That was a huge creative challenge.

It was all black hair.

A tuft of hair evenly lit does not look at all appealing.
A tuft of hair does not ever look appealing to begin with.

How do you get someone to look at a photo at some hair and go "yeah that".

The immediate thought was to find a find a model or mannequin to pose the
hair in context. Nope. Didn't want that.

That project became quite expensive for me before I figured out a way to make
her happy.

I think being a stubborn git I would probably have proceeded to find my own
tufts of black hair and continue shooting it until I got it right since
it became a real challenge.

When I worked for myself, and I work creatively, I can shape what I capture.
This is where the passion was for me.

If you are a top 1% photographer, clients hire you for your vision and creative style.
They give you big budgets, crews, etc.
I never got anywhere near that commercially.

At least one famous 1% photographer has such a well-oiled machine set up,
that they only have to show up and press the trigger.

But they have initial meetings with the client, give them a taste of celebrity.
Invented or discovered is a debate in the philosophy of mathematics
I don't have insider information or anything, but I'm convinced that packaging is a huge part of the problem. There are many more wafer fabs than packaging houses, packaging hits high-volume low-margin parts much harder, and everyone routes through the same (lowest cost...) houses in the same tropical low-wage countries because packaging dice is basically a commodity service.

Except that now there isn't enough capacity to go around.
The ocean surface, when colder, absorbs heat from the atmosphere. But the effect of removing CO2 is much more important because CO2 blocks heat that comes in every day from space from escaping back to space. And, acidifies the ocean top, damaging the food chain at its roots.
Hah, I remember that. The pain was acceptable in my case since I was still at school and did this purely for "fun" because I wanted to.

Both this move to glibc and the prior move from a.out to ELF taught me an incredible amount about Linux (and unixoid systems in general) because I had to rebuild pretty much everything in the system by hand, reading everything's READMEs and learning a bit more about them. (My system at the time originally came from a distribution installed by CD, but was then never upgraded the official way but only move forward with source tarballs, i.e. no package management. I got that luxury much later.)

Fun times.

Slapp Cases Targeting Many Public Actors Besides Journalists
I enjoy the photographers you've linked to Japanese photographers are great but I think you are wrong with the generalisation about Western photographers.

There's definitely people that work on prearranged scenes but there's also people like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Kappa that pushed the idea of "the decisive moment".

They worked with pre-set Leica range finders and usually a single lens (50mm).
Their idea was to just see perfect moments, be in the right place and just take the photo.

Or Weegee The Famous. He was a New York press photographer turned artist who when once asked what the secret to good photograph was answered "f8 and be there". i.e. just take the photo and don't worry about the imperfections.

...or William Klein. He made his name initially taking blurry street photographs as he walked about.

These are all well known big names but you get the point. Western photography is too broad a term to jump to conclusions about a dominant style.
