> We already have cheap comodity ARM chips, it's called the Raspberry PI .

No we don't, and no it's not. At least not as far as the mass consumer is concerned.

Show me where a consumer can walk into Best Buy and purchase a PC with a decently powerful and inexpensive ARM processor powering it in place of Intel or AMD. That's something that Nvidia can actually make happen given its resources. The organization behind the Raspberry PI is microscopic by comparison, they have no resources to manage such an enormous consumer front (not even remotely close in fact).

Your premise about the Raspberry PI is like techies on HN pretending that there's no need for x y z product/service, because you can just run your own social network on a machine in your closet at home, you can just run your own file server, you can just run your own mail server. No, consumers are never going to do that en masse. And consumers are never going to lean on the Raspberry PI to assemble their own machines either in massive quantities; that has to be a comprehensive, packaged product sold to them via retail that they plug in and use with zero assembly or hands-on customization required. It has to be relatively inexpensive and powerful enough to undercut and compete with what Intel and AMD bring to the table. Raspberry PI isn't even in the discussion.
No... but we've beamed a scribe into AWS!
But then if you need to change some non interactive parts of the UI, your digging though source code instead of modifying XML.

Defining the UI via code becomes cumbersome, stuff like adding attributes, etc
To be clear: hibernate works without any fiddling, but in Windows 10 this setting is not enabled default, you need to explicitly turn it on in the Central Panel, and then it works.

I don't know why Microsoft decided not to enable it by default. Maybe they thought the difference between sleep and hibernate is too much to grasp for common users. And sleep works a bit faster (although with modern NVME drivers I don't see as much difference as in the past when you had to write 8 or 16 GB of memory to HDD).
Wouldn't gopher just be more fragmentation? What can it do that can't already be done on top of web? It's still pretty much just client/server.
In the sense of the PowerShell engine doing the argument parsing and display formatting for all cmdlets, which is something I think the designers took from VMS shell. That makes for "Don't Repeat Yourself" (one place for all the argument parsing code) and from the user experience side all commands which subscribe to this take parameters in the same way, arguments handled in the same way, with the same common parameters, and support parameter introspection and tab completion, etc. so it can be a more uniform experience.

(Not always great though; I don't know VMS shell but PowerShell cmdlets can still have similar tools taking different parameter names for the same concept, or not working implementing what to do with common parameters, or taking DSLs in strings like WMI Query Language, or taking rather opaque and unique hashtable blobs).
I did reply to a blanket statement based on a bare claim of professional expertise - and with examples to plentiful historical evidence of premature confidences in technological understanding. There is no evidence that this fallibility has not carried into this century.

My argument was not like saying "we should never do anything like this because of past grave accidents in comparable novel products and practices" It was to be measured and wary of bare professional and institutional assurances.

Regarding the characteristics of plants and animals that we should feed to our children and mass rear in our environment - I am of the mind that the characteristics should be as well evidenced by the long history of life as we can afford.
Your comment REALLY resonates with me. When I was fresh out of school, I joined an enterprise software team as a junior engineer. The team was mostly FTEs, but there were 2 or 3 contractors as well - one of whom was extremely talented. It was the talented one that everybody ganged up on. He was ridiculed (it was supposed to be in good fun but I think it went too far), and he was abused and given all the hard problems to solve. Here's the thing - this guy made up for all the rest of those shitty FTEs. He fixed all their problems, he did all the real work, developed the best features, and fixed all the hard bugs. The lead engineer was an absolute joke (I once caught him making changes to a live production database). The roles were all reversed.

Well, it didn't sit well with me then, and I became friends with that guy and the other contractors. We're still friends to this day. I'd say he got the last laugh because he started his own company and is doing well. But I promised myself that I would never treat any contractor like that ever. I'm a Director now, with a team of my own. Similarly, it has a few contractors, and every single one of those guys is treated like an FTE, with regular 1x1s, objectives, and personal development. As a leader, I invest the time in them like they're my own, because they are people too - regardless of the SSO number or the ".consultant" in their email address.
I think the biggest issue comes from thinking that since it's in the mind and not in the body, you can just cure it by yourself: be happy, not depressed!
Which is obviously wrong and comes from ignorance.
I have been working fully remote for over two years now. I certainly feel quite disconnected from my team now. I remember the days of commuting, water cooler talk, and just being around people.

I’ve been with my employer for a long time now and have experienced a lot of coworkers passing away. Cancer, heart attacks, suicide, and undisclosed. The whole spectrum. Some of these coworkers I worked close with while others not so much. Either way it affects you and really puts things into perspective with how fleeting our lives are. Thinking about this gives me a lump in my throat.
Everything except politics, religion, sexuality, drug use, firearms, philosophy and your ambitions in life (unless they are die working here).

You also don't want to bring up things like playing video games too much, or going out for drinks too often, unless people get the wrong impression about you. Getting too personal about issues you are facing in life also can be career limiting.
I don't really see how your question is materially different from "what do you do when you have a competitor". Unless your business model or strategy explicitly assumes you can keep some piece of knowledge from the competition, you should expect competitors to know about your product and it's features, and need to plan your strategy accordingly. What do you feel is changed by the fact that you've observed them sign up for your product?

FWIW, I personally believe that companies can and should co-exist peacefully in the same space. I would love an opportunity to talk to anyone who runs or works at a company that competes with mine, and as others have mentioned, you should take the opportunity to reach out, tell them about your business and answer any questions they have, and ask them all the questions you can. This is a way for both of your companies to learn and grow, and understand each other better so you can play to your own business's strength.

Unless you're in some weird "there can only be one" market, competition is not something to fear if you have a solid product
Even systems like Qt, where things are drawn using non-native widgets support that (I was long proponent of wxWidgets, because I thought assistive tech is only support only if you use native widgets. The idea of API where you explain what you are showing, and how to interact with it never came to my mind, but with ARIA - like any browser that's the way to go).

Not only that, but I thhink assistive tech should allow you do to easier GUI testing too, but haven't digged into that idea yet (probably folks already are)
> This always frustrated me with Slack. It has often been the thing running on my computer using the most RAM, yet Slack is never the primary tool I'm using the computer for. That is, communication is always a secondary thing to support my work doing something else or to allow me to do that something else in a team.

Same with me, but s/Slack/Microsoft Teams. I personally find it absolutely horrendous to use and wouldn't recommend it.

> Of course, I, too, am building browser things

Same. That's what I'm primarily familiar with, especially React. I hope some day we have something like React Native for desktop, where it integrates with the native widgets of the platform (Qt, perhaps?) and you just integrate them with your app through components... like React Native on mobile. It's such a shame this space isn't being properly explored yet.
That is a big part of the author's point: the library ecosystem is here for Python today. While there is a heavy penalty for anything written in Python itself, it doesn't really matter since there isn't much of a penalty once the data is passed to highly optimized libraries and those libraries allow developers to select efficient algorithms rather than implementing their own algorithms (which are likely to be less efficient).
I wish the US was as efficient as the UK ...

No one said it did.

But it exacerbates it by orders of magnitude.

Also odd to hear someone defending factory farming.

The doesn't seem very rational, Nintendo doesn't aim for prettiest graphics or best hardware, they aim for best family friendly game experience, without focusing on graphics or hardware. The Switch prove that their strategy works out as well, so they are unlikely to suddenly change tactics.

PlayStation and Xbox do aim for best graphics with the best hardware though, so they are more likely to go with this than anyone else.

Agreed, they probably laugh at us from time to time and rightfully so.
While I certainly agree that everything you've said about what an individual can do is true, I disagree that in the grand scheme of things that it will make any difference at global scale.

Telling people to change their lifestyle to fight climate change is the environmental equivalent of telling people to diet and exercise to lose weight. On one hand, it's obviously true, but on the other hand we have decades and decades of proof that requiring individual willpower to make societal-wide change is a failed proposition.

Large scale change is only possible with government and technological advancement, e.g. electric vehicle adoption is in some ways accelerating faster than expected, because as battery prices have come down, people have realized that electric vehicles are better in nearly every way. Better storage technologies are also making large-scale renewable energy sources more feasible.

So yes, it's a good idea to drive less and put solar panels on your roof, but let's not pretend that the requisite number of people will "follow your example" if it's too onerous for them to do so.
Okay then your "logical appeal" is unconvincing, I disagree that eating meat is uneccessary.

It may be in violation of corporate policies, or perhaps the other company's ToS, but I very much doubt it is illegal in the criminal sense. If you have a link to prove otherwise, I'd love to see it.

At a previous startup, both the founders and various employees would often sign up for competitors using our personal, "spare" emails. We were doing competitive research.

Grace is a very big Tegra, it's just not intended for that.

I'm 15 and building an edtech product with my friends, and we noticed 2 employees from a very big edtech company (direct competitor) signed up (with company email addresses) and tested some features out. I don't know if my site will ever be anything more than a hobby project, but the fact that two employees of the site that inspired my own signed up makes me feel like we might be doing something right! I just wonder how they found it.
Let’s be real this has nothing to do with remote and everything to do with callous and corrupt corporate culture.
I wasn’t aware of the constraint that travel within wormhole must take longer than travel between the mouths. Given that, is there any real practical use for them? In scifi they are usually presented as shortcuts, but this constraint makes that seem less likely to ever be true.
> No one is going to want to drive on sodium batteries, which are merely good, rather than good enough. We're talking about the weight of a Tesla with the range of a Leaf, as a best case scenario.

Do many people care about the weight of their car? I would bet most people couldn’t tell you what their car weighs with any accuracy (me, for one).

People happily drive giant heavy trucks (like an F150) for much shorter distances than the range of a Leaf.

Or weight matters for some other reason? Shipping?

Interesting, but somewhat misses the point; the reason people want an alternative to Aspera is that no-one wants to pay for file transfer tools.
You can get a bit of that Oberon experience on Windows via PowerShell, .NET and COM.

> Those fortunate to live in a place with somewhat stable currency, decent rule of law, and decent banking often don't see the advantages of holding assets without custodians.

This describes every place on Earth except -- arguably -- Venezuela and Somalia. And the solution to Venezuela and Somalia is to fix the government! Not to just sigh and assume their broken societies are somehow inevitable and to treat them as default.

When you lose your keys -- which, statistically, you absolutely will -- is it appropriate that you should also forfeit your wealth? (This is a rhetorical question.)

I would say by far the best on just lithium is: https://www.globallithium.net/podcast

The host has decades of experience in lithium and has interviews with many of those lithium companies. He is certainty opinionated but he is informed.

On battery in general, and partly on lithium: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIFn7ONIJHyC-lMnb7Fm_jw/vid...

Many others but information is kind of all over the place.

But I'm not in that industry, more a general interest in batteries.

I had this happen, but it created an ethical and legal problem which I had to solve.

I ran a site taking mortgage leads from websites and auctioning them off to brokers. The bulk of the site was the dashboard for brokers buying leads. You had to be a real (legal) broker and to see the whole system you had to bid on and buy leads of real people.

One of my competitors managed to get a real broker ID and get registered and bid on some leads and bought some. They didn't call the customers, but that alone made our system look bad as it is presumed the customer wanted to talk to a broker.

I actually called the competitor up and got hold of the tech guy who had made the account. We had a good conversation and I suggested we exchange dummy accounts so we could see inside each other's systems, in the spirit of friendly competition. He agreed, and from then on we could see inside each other's sites and bid and buy fake leads.

(Disclaimer: I was already seeing inside their system as I had a broker friend near the office who would let me go to his office and watch over his shoulder as he used their system.)

My impression is that Perl, Ruby, and Lisp all suffer from this issue.

Even proponents will say things like "this language is so expressive, I feel so productive in it, but people do such idiosyncratic and clever things that it's hard for anyone else but the author to understand".

That sort of "solo rockstar" programming culture doesn't really lend itself to large-scale FOSS projects, which need to be inviting to wide participation.
This constraint is needed because having a shortcut would allow time travel, like all FTL does.
> forced to implement interop

I didn't read this as the EU forcing the apps to actually implement interop. I read it as forcing them to publish the details of their protocols and not ban people for using 3rd party clients.

Now, will market forces force them to implement interop? Maybe, but based on my reading an app that doesn't talk to other apps is still legal.*

IMHO, the ideas about non-volatile memory are a distraction and not a very fundamental or interesting detail of future systems. But the core proposal of combining https://squeak.org/ on top of https://oberon.org is really quite an exciting idea and could be a lot of FOSS fun.

I think I've wasted mote time on the last 2 years fudging around bad contacts on wired phones than around bluetooth ones. But I only ever use them on some kind of Linux, where I avoid the bullshit of the "this phone is not allowed to plug into this application" kind (I don't know about Macs). And Android is getting close enough to it that I've seen related problems (on Microsoft applications, obviously).
Is this software that one licenses and uses on any arbitrary network or do you run a network of some kind that users pay to access?

Or both ?

I think this is a software package but the tl;dr doesn’t make that clear to me…
> > UNIX isn’t good enough anymore and it’s getting worse

> Why exactly?

Two reasons:

1 - systemd (which is moving linux towards becoming a systemd OS)

2 - developers and companies moving ever more towards web apps (which will eventually make the underlying OS irrelevant, as the browser becomes the OS) (incidentally, web assembly seems to herald the end of the open/transparent web too, as we're eventually all be running opaque binary blobs on our web browsers)

Nerfs are not svgs.

Consider taking a nerf and applying a box blur. Easy, a box blur on voxel data takes multiple samples within a box and averages them together, so to do the same thing to a nerf just take multiple samples and average them together.

That does get slower the more samples you need, but you never have to materialize a full voxel representation.
More than that. It's 14 years old.
Anyone interested in the computing holes that can be filled by lisp machines should check out Urbit.

It uses an identity system secured by the Ethereum blockchain and it has created a bottom up economic incentive for developers to participate. They are starting to solve unique problems that couldn't be addressed on currently prevalent platforms. Urbit is an affirmation; we can ditch the nihilism.
