It is a browser, as clearly explained by their own marketing material. They’re trying to build some nice security policies into it but that’s something Google and Microsoft are also doing or have already done — for example, restricting where you can screenshot or copy and paste is a demand in certain fields but neither of those are huge technical hurdles and would be minor extensions to the existing group policies.

I’m aware it’s a large potential market - note that I was asking was why this particular company would be capturing a billion dollar valuation as opposed to their competitors, many of whom are more established and have high-functioning engineering teams.
Fileshares are coming. No plans for git yet though.

Both Crunchyroll and Azuki have Attack on Titan from Kodansha, but Orange is part of a different deal CR has. Sorry about the missing chapters on Grand Blue and some other series! That’s a licensing restriction on Kodansha’s end that we’re doing everything we can to change.
I would argue that it’s both.

It’s not seriously discussed because it’s under-discussed.

I think most people understand the seriousness of cancer, or a heart attack, or other life threatening ailments. They accept that those things are often outside of one’s control, and so there is never any hesitation to take it seriously. When someone in a work setting is diagnosed with something serious, everyone pays attention.

Mental health issues are hard for some people to understand if they haven’t experienced their own challenges. And because it’s not discussed frequently/seriously enough, it’s easy to downplay it or believe that the person struggling can change just by thinking hard enough.

And the people suffering from it don’t feel the same freedom to share those struggles because they’ve also been conditioned by the same collective mindset about mental health and worry what opening up about it will mean for them.

Someone with severe depression who struggles with suicidal ideation has to wonder if people will think less of them, or if they’ll be understand at all. Even though awareness has grown, those old stigmas and default behaviors remain just under the surface.

Someone with a terminal illness will receive an outpouring of support and encouragement.

I’m happy that awareness continues to grow, but there’s a long way to go.
I usually send them a note inviting feedback from them, and offer to do the same for them.

Oftentimes these sorts of problems aren't due to malice but occur because of unintended consequences of poorly-defined service-level agreements and KPIs for separate contractors whose services have to integrate for overall success.

I was embedded once at a UK Army base that ran in effect a military college for different trades. The on-site restaurant was part of a UK-wide contract that had nationally agreed contracted opening times. These inflexible eating hours were actually the main constraint on when physical education could occur. A single supplier company had two separate contracts to supply instructors and equipment maintenance staff. The maintainers had KPIs that were (again) part of a national level contract that worked against the instructors when important things needed to be quickly repaired.
They probably didn't live in a box about the size of their own body their entire life.
Sure. But it still seems interesting to see in what ways you must bend the rules to make it possible. Consider that the goal here is not really to produce working human-traversable wormholes, but rather to learn more about various models of physics and how they behave in extreme conditions.
It's on the feature roadmap!
Wasm is not just bleeding edge, it is supported by all major browsers and being used in all sorts of real-world websites. No, "Qt" is not the only way to do UI in C++/wasm. This is a basic misunderstanding of the technology. Wasm lives inside the Javascript vm and can manipulate DOM objects all day long. It's just not very practical to do so. There are plenty of Rust projects going in that direction, though...

C++ doesn't only require you to be precise, it requires you to be verbose. JS is quite precise, and a lot more expressive because of the runtime. TypeScript is all of this and also allows you to be more explicit in order for the compiler to check your work, much like a proof checker.

The C++ type system is relatively stupid compared to that of TypeScript and F#, for example. In TS and F#, you can use types to help you, in C++ you already need the types because otherwise the compiler doesn't have a clue what to do.
> With lisp machines, we can cut out the complicated multi-language, multi library mess from the stack

This seems like the kind of goal that's only palatable to a very few people nowadays. Specifically, the people who want to use that language, toolchain, and libraries, and nothing else.

These days, I don't think that that's ever going to allow for enough of a community to support more than a relatively self-contained hobbyist scene. Which there's absolutely nothing wrong with that; personally I wish there were more compelling tinkering-oriented platforms; I'm a little meh on Unix too. But the article seems to be advocating rather loftier ambitions.

Yup. I would say at this point 99% of the cheese consumed by Americans is produced with GMO bacterial rennet. I've contacted maybe a dozen cheese producers and they've told me the same thing. It's not just about lower cost, but that is the biggest factor, one producer told me it's also about bacterial rennet being much more consistent and predictable.
You don’t want to compound losses by taxing losses.

Profit taxing presumably takes what can be spared.
I have heard disturbing stories from tech-illiterate windows users complaining about forced upgrades, reboots—even fullscreen Office365 ads. It's a pain to be "the computer guy" for windows users. They need help constantly and for silly things that has changed place or behaviour. I also do support for tech-illiterate linux users on Fedora and they never call or have trouble. It just works, even with auto-updated flatpaks enabled.
This is a really cool idea, thanks for suggesting it! We’ll look into what it takes to build a Tachiyomi plugin and if it can support the terms of our publisher contracts.

Regarding food: What you eat is significantly more important than where it comes from (there are a few exceptions). Not eating meat and dairy is the biggest impact you can have food-wise. Getting your potatoes from within 10km or 1000km doesn't really matter in regards to emissions. In fact, depending on where you live, locally grown food can have a bigger environmental impact than non-local food (due to artifical light, fertilizers, greenhouses, etc.)

The widgets are not very mobile friendly. But cool concept. How does this compare to Flutter?
Sounds legit. Do you have a more detailed writeup of how to go about this? Not just from a technical standpoint, but how to campaign with stakeholders that the value is there, that it’s a good use of team time? And how to campaign with the team to buy them in on establishing and maintaining this onboarding software?

One of the practical realities I face often in management is that a weak-but-available solution is at least progress, where big ideas without a clear plan suffer heavy inertia.

Having a data model/system to implement regular reflection/cleanup/alignment on goals I find helps with cruft build up. August Bradley’s PPV has review cycles weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly which cover higher levels of abstraction as the time period gets larger. I’m building an implementation of it in obsidian, august does his in Notion (which I started with but started to see a cap on extensibility), it’s a WIP but I’d love other to make it less work for me :P

International Association of Fire Fighters
There are 365k projects in the "official" package index. While not all of these are important, it's a tip-off to the magnitude of the problem. The habit of blowing past a problem by grabbing a random library and moving on to the next problem leaves us with a mess of dependencies. And many of those were either written by amateurs like us, not maintained, etc.

Maybe other languages have fewer libraries, or maybe the habit of grabbing libraries at random evolved concurrently with the rise of Python.

My team has a rule that we don't let a project get past a certain stage without proving that it can be installed and run on a clean machine and archiving all of the necessary repo's with the project. It's easily forgotten that testing your installer is part of testing your program.

Once upon a time I met some other Eurail pass holders in another part of Spain and we all decided to jump on a train the next day to go to the running of the bulls.

This particular summer preceded universal access to the internet by many summers, so it turned out that our information was a little off, and we got to Pamplona a full day early. But there was a huge festival and we just joined the San Fermin crowd.

And ... one of the scariest experiences of my life was being in the middle of _thousands_ of revelers, sandwiched like sardines trying to move through the rather narrow streets of Pamplona. The pressure from six different people pushing into me made it hard to breathe, and on several occasions I was lifted off my feet and thought my life would soon end. The shop windows shattering was a hopeful sound, because it represented some pressure being released.

Looking back, I think that experience made me decide not to run with the bulls the next day, and as an old fogey I'm glad I made that choice. I was unaware at the time that my grandfather had run with the bulls in the 50s or I surely would have put my life on the line again.

> Obviously I didn't know their pay/benefits, but that's even true of folks in different offices/countries that are FTEs.

Usually contractors make more than FTEs for various reasons. It's only in the context of H1B body shops that contractors really get abused. Otherwise, the trade is higher pay for less stability.
Maybe. These days a $30 random HDMI capture card can do an okay job. Won't be perfect and you'd need to play it in real time but better than a DVD. Could still probably be handled by a 5th grader.
On Aggregation Theory and Web3
Start by asking yourself how humans have established that a given food, genetically engineered or not, is long-term safe?
The answer varies on what kind of space it is.

Scenario 1: If it's a smaller space, and your odds of raising the next round are better if your competition raises a round - shows a market is expanding- then show them around the product, figuratively speaking. Send a mail to a few of your customers (and include the competitor), asking them to sign up for beta access for first priority on new features being launched. This way, both of you build similar stuff, onboard similar customers, and expand to similar adjacent markets. (and tell investors similar stories, reinforcing a social proof)

Scenario 2: Insanely competitive market. Think like a wartime guy. What can you do to mislead them? In these markets, there is a huge focus on competition, and to match the offerings from others. You have their email, they may be playing it right, you can tell them about launching a new feature you know won't work, and then launch something different. They wasting their time means more leeway for you to work your magic.

(if it's not the two extremes, don't bother. Just build and keep finding more customers)

Altogether, these signups usually mean nothing. I was a PM/Growth guy at various companies, and had a habit of signing up for every new product I heard about - including ones from the competition, and play around for a bit. I still get emails from those guys. It was just to see user experience and offering, and we did not do anything around it.
That's how I read it too. To be fair, it is an unusual injury.
All good points. Another topic lost in these debates is _very real alternatives_. People lament fields soaked in glyphosate or neonics. True, there are real problems with these actives. Unfortunately, these chemicals largely replaced _even more dangerous_ chemicals like DDT and other nasty organs-phosphates (I think sarin gas was discovered while searching for pesticides?).

It's unfortunate people don't have complete information and make the assumption of glyphosate/whatever or nothing when that reality never really ever existed.
> I wonder if the average consumer will be as disgusted and turned off by the idea of eating genetically modfied meat as I am.

To me that sounds like being turned off by it containing dihydrogen monoxide. That is kind of a shame because the "patented life" angle is a real, serious problem worth attention but bundling it with shallow/trivial criticism like "turned off" (it literally tastes the same) makes it easy to dismiss.
it does provide native widgets which can be used. If you care to look through the documentation there are images displaying the control widgets / native components
"Suppose there's two competitors, one does all the work of creating or inventing something new. The other just copies it. Costs nothing, it's a sure thing. I'd love to be that guy"

The first company controls the market the second responds. The second is always later to market. Without those development costs company 2 has more money but they need to use it to reduce prices to get others to try their product and they need to spend it on marketing.

If company 2 has another advantage like unlimited money or relationships.. they can kill company 1.
An abusive man can try to prevent a woman from leaving him by getting her pregnant.

Even if she leaves she'll have to continue to interact with him if he gets partial custody.

He can also threaten to make sure she has her child taken away if she leaves him and threaten to lie to the court about her fitness as a parent.

This works better if the local religion or government is anti abortion.
The case for letting North Korea keep its nukes
That's awful.

I was a contractor myself, and I still work with contractors every day. I wasn't treated as badly as that, but I was not too happy with how I was treated either. I and my team lead try to go out of our ways to acknowledge and include all workers, without regard to their actual employers, in all the team's meetings and interactions, and acknowledging their contributions.

It's still not enough. Just last week, I found out that a team member is now considering to leave, and one of their reasons is being treated as "less worthy" by the higher-ups in my company. There was some internal confusion where they forgot to assign them an office, and since they're a contractor, HR ended up putting them in a somewhat remote office, away from the team, completely ignoring our protests.

The thing is, we (my team lead and I) don't know what to tell them, how can we convince them to stay after this. We're at a loss.
And a lot of us believe that individualist freedom and independence tend to grow proletarian bank accounts along with the bourgeouis'.
> And with a single address space you have win9x security.

Address space != protection boundaries. These are nearly orthogonal concerns. Where single address spaces might become less useful today is in dealing with Spectre vulnerabilities, though formalizing more explicit requirements about information domains (as in multilevel security, which is a well-established field of OS research) might help address those.
Personally, I think the problem is that CommonLisp is just another programming language, whereas Lisp really shines when it provides a full-fledged programming environment. Nowadays, it would seem best to create such an environment on top of commodity hardware as a "virtual machine" that abstracts away from the hardware in a general, portable way. However, a good environment (1) needs a purpose, and (2) somebody needs to write it. Lisp currently fails on both points. The purpose used to be symbolic AI and NLP among other things. Nowadays it could be the same, or a web framework with integrated distributed computing and database, or scientific computing, or a server for certain business services, etc. There are many application domains for which a virtual "Lisp machine" would be beneficial but it needs to be developed for one of those real world applications, not just as a toy like existing attempts of building Lisp machines. And in my opinion the problem really is (2), developer power / size of the community. If you exclude super-expensive legacy Lisps, the current Lisp community doesn't even have a fully supported Lisp-native editor (portable Hemlock is not good enough) and also doesn't have good enough object persistence / native Lisp-based databases. Both are the foundations of any integrated Lisp machine.

People sometimes claim CL+Emacs+Slime provides the full interactive experience. I just can't agree with that at all. I have tried, and the experience was not substantially different from Go development and development in any other fast-compiling language with Emacs. In some respects, it's even worse than with various modern languages, even though most of those languages are strictly inferior to CL from a pure language perspective. If editing files in Emacs is all there is to the allegedly great Lisp experience, and developers at the same time have to deal with all those idiosyncrasies of CL such as CL's filesystem path handling, ASDF, and tons of poorly documented libraries, then I can't really see the advantages of CL. The language is powerful, don't get me wrong, but a truly interactive experience is totally different. Smalltalk managed to keep this experience but for some reason the Lisp community seems too have lost this vision. I guess the developer community is just not large enough.

Anyway, before someone tries to build another "close to metal" Lisp machine or tries to revive any old Lisp machine, I'd rather wish the community would focus on creating truly integrated development environments that abstract away from the host system and are fully hackable and editable from the ground up while maintaining security and multi-user access. A "virtual Lisp" machine with virtual OS, so to say. If that's developed for a certain purpose like building and deploying extremely portable web applications, I believe it can have a great future.

Sorry for the long rant. This is just my impression after having programmed in various Lisp dialects for the past three decades.
I drew the parallels because we know the brain size studies were pseudo science with an agenda to prove a ludicrous statement. IQs are still up for debate, but we do know that modern IQ tests have their foundations in the eugenics movement. And they certainly had the same agenda as the brain size hacks, so I don’t think the parallels are unfair. There has been a high profile literature as early as the 1990s (The Bell Curve) which tries to use the IQ to prove this nonsense. So even if the brain size hacks are all gone, and the eugenics movement died with WW2, there are still people with an agenda where a nuanced free immutable “intelligence” is their goal.

> Use Bluetooth headphones instead of corded ones.

My dislike of this sentence is so potent it could fuel a lifelong plan to do the opposite of all your points just to spite the list that gave birth to it.

In more practical terms, the fact that I did not fudge around with Bluetooth headphone problems in the last year alone probably saved me enough time to enjoy a peaceful, tasty dinner at a fine dining establishment.
I'll throw in a data point here: I dislike streaming services on general principles (I have HBO Max, but it came with my AT&T plan) and I'll pick DVD if there's a substantial cost difference on a movie I'm not sure about. Likewise, I'll gravitate to BD/DVD combo packs for movies I do want to see because pretty much anything plays DVDs nowadays and I might want to watch it on the road.

Also, upscalers matter. To my nearly half-century eyes Sony upscalers aren't too bad. No one is claiming they're in any respect hi-def, but they're also hardly a miserable experience. Craptastic upscalers, on the other hand, are craptastic, sometimes from major brands who cheaped out.
It's not a big problem in Python in general, only in scientific computing / number crunching projects, because of the dependencies on huge complex software, some of it ancient, written in C, Fortran, and C++. So why do we hear about this problem in Python a lot? Well, because it's what's used for the glue/frontend, which is what users work with directly. It's selection bias. Sure, another language might fare somewhat better or worse for this or that reason, but at the end of the day it's gonna be a pain in the ass (at least until next-generation, complete, deterministic, language-agnostic solutions like Nix/GUIX really gain traction).
I find it quite rich when people who have only ever lived in democracies condescend to those living in dictatorships about how we should have simply "protested harder" against the status quo.

Lisp isn't essentially a scripting language. Common Lisp was designed as an application language, in rare case it's also a systems language. On a Lisp Machine, for example the whole networking stack was written in it.

"Any glass participles smaller than 20 µm were marked by the examiner as ‘sandy particles’ and not precisely measured."

People don't research that subject a lot because it's known that small 'sandy particles' in the body are not causing problems. But that doesn't mean they are immeasurable.
