Ladies and gentleman the real basic concept we dislike to remember is that to be a power we need to be powerful... Powerful in industry, technology, military, science, ... if at a certain point in time we decide that "unpleasant activities" can be outsourced exactly because we can and some others can't so they are willing to help we start to loose power. It will take time, but sooner or later for the classic principle of communicating vessels will made the loosing power a looser and the nascent one a real power.

China now have no choice but expand: they can't nourish their citizens and without panem citizens will revolt. Also China start to have aging population problems because in their rapid rise they have create a bit of wealth, as always, and that means people who live longer and want better conditions, as always.

Western world is around 50 year ahead, population if far more aged and wealthy, we are living mostly on our power without any real effort to keep it alive except military and economical oppression. Having no more industry, no more real public research for the public we fade into darkness and so we equally need going to war against ascending competitors.

ANYONE want to be a global dictator, who, even a single citizens do not like to dominate? Why cleaning the house is someone do that for me, even for free or nearly for free? Why competing for a partner if in a snap of fingers countless potential partners are there ready to give pleasure without nothing or nearly nothing in exchange? I can go on for long but that's the pattern of essentially anyone, from individuals to empires. Since of course there is not so much disparity while one ascend others of similar "size" do eye it as an enemy. It's the old classic story, only in that case we are on the loosing side and as always that's disturbing. We can of course remain in power but that demand a complete change in our élites who have nourished a population incapable of being adult with the exact purpose of remaining in power. Same old game: all want effective society, army facing enemies but powerless sheep inside. In all regimes.

Long story short my fellow humans... It's about time to REALLY discuss Democracy, but in substantial terms, not in formal terms just to keep up the old new game.
I think the GP meant "my laptop should be able to do the same things as my phone without the laptop fan spinning".

This ignores how much more wasteful with resources developers are on the desktop, though.
Why not a more traditional honeypot? Setup a machine to look like is holding valuable information, but since no real information is on there during normal activity there is no connection to the machine. When something tries to connect to the machine, raise an alert.

I wrote a postscript library in late 1988 for our application. Learning Postscript enough to support everything our app could generate (charts) involved boxes and boxes of paper, since the only way to debug anything was to print debugging info on paper. Sometimes the bugs made nothing print, which was hard to figure out! Still it was a fun language, and I could learn a lot by looking at Illustrator's file format (which was basically Postscript, and I think eventually became PDF). I was even able to export everything we drew into Illustrator format, which was a popular feature.

Postscript is probably the most unusual language I ever worked with (APL comes close) but I enjoyed working with it.
I guess that is why no one bothers with clippy then, it is superfluous.

The danger from fuel tanks rupturing is hard to intuit. Hydrogen will gasify and escape upward. But the hydrogen tanks themselves could fragment and be propelled by the pressure in the tanks. It is an open question whether this is worse than kerosine escaping fuel tanks and pooling around a crashed plane.

Separated websites make it very hard to bring along your own networks of people. If I share stuff on Twitter or Instagram when I share it I "bring along" everybody who is following me, and if they share it they bring along their people and so on.

Some sort of "distributed comment section" that you bring along when you visit a site could bridge this gap, but I haven't seen anything event remotely ready.

I mean technically you can have a chat with your friends and share a link. But that doesn't really have this "live", "organic" feel of a public square.
"Making people want to click the video" is not shady in the same sense as SEO. A comparable trick might be jamming a bunch of keywords into the description.

Everybody except Grant Petty. I've definitely heard stories about an expletive-filled rant when Adobe discontinued their "buy once, own forever" products.

Both him and Doug (the other main co-founder) genuinely care more about making good-quality, affordable products than being worth an extra few hundred million.
Well, they took somehwat adobe route minus piracy. Pre davinci situation means: FCPX or Adobe Premiere.

How do you get your product in? Easy, release product for free so small time creators, experimenters get familiar. Those people go to work for professional studio, they request davinci since they know it better. Then company further optimizes by buying expensive intergrated hardware to better streamline production...

Its brilliant to see this nonobvious market oppportunity. Further you get extra street creds, as yt people will love your product just for the fact its so accessible (free).
"It’s not like Einstein just published a paper that said “nuh uh, all the experts are full of shit and here’s why…” and then proceeded to use powerful rhetoric to convince everyone they had been wrong."

> Global south/north divide lumps SK, SG and JP into the north.

Only if you arbitrarily make exceptions for what’s “south”—ignoring the fact that Singapore and Taiwan and Korea are south of China. The phrase itself implies a permanent association between “south” (I.e. non-white, since skin color is a function of latitude) and “under-undeveloped.”
That seems far worse to me than acknowledging that developing countries are indeed trying to become like developed countries.

The coffee roast temperature and grind is decided every day by yet another ML algorithm, as Google has effectively an unlimited army of ML researchers and infinite computing power. A rogue PhD on a cocaine binge unfortunately tuned the parameters too high once, and the results have been getting worse ever since, as a result of Sundar being increasingly disappointed by the coffee, but not being able to do anything about it because "it's the algorithm"
On the shores of Rhode Island, my family has participated in an oyster gardening program run URI which involved the same wire boxes and shells with larvae attached. However we kept them tied to the dock, then they collected and distributed to the beds. It's cool to see the research seems to have evolved and they can just go straight to the beds now.

That being said, all the little kids in my extended family got excited and educated about oysters from having them tied to the dock, so there's something to be said for that too.

I play a lot of bullet chess (1 minute time).

It’s almost a different game. Yes, thinking “fast” is good, but it’s not about finding an ideal move, it’s about finding any move that isn’t an obvious blunder as quickly as possible.

There’s also different strategies that emerge with the time limit. Running out the clock of course. When time gets low just move quickly. Also, confusing moves. Anything that makes your opponent go “Wait, what?” can give you an advantage in time.
Less than a hundred years ago russians marched into my country and tried to murder every man and rape every woman.

Now they're marching into Ukraine and doing the same.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, you just want to "feel good" about how woke you percieve yourself to be, all the while living comfortably very far from a russian border, I'd wager. All this seems just overblown bigotry to you.

One can imagine applying a series of patches as a rebase operation of a “virtual” branch, with the resulting ephemeral branch being thrown away after the build.

So the only real difference is that one stores the changes to be rebased as part of the main repo vs the repo of a forked dependency. As a result of that one loses the existing tooling aimed at merge/rebase management (git rerere, git rebase -i)

Thus - if the part of the code base being patched is relatively unchanging, this is a nice shortcut. But if it is part of actively changed code, explicitly managing what is essentially a fork in disguise may be more convenient.

We do this at $COMPANY around bug fixes and security vulns because our clients expect us to. But we actively endeavour to commit those patches to the original project.
Systems thinking is great but he way we reason about organizations and systems in a pretty medieval way.

Most systems are described in a simple way: box and line charts which are just voodoo.

We need to develop a algebraic notation for how to represent the various configurations/states of an organization, along with its operations.

With a notation, you can describe what you “feel” and share the knowledge and improve on it. You can also define the organizations desired state and track your progress. You can plop a new manager in it and they will know what to do. You can also do basic engineering like pick a configuration that has the desired cost, throughout and latency that you need.
I've been using Davinci Resolve for almost three years and I can't emphasize enough how great this product is.

IMO, it's miles away from Adobe Premiere. Not only because of its color grading capabilities, but I just find it way more intuitive than Premiere.

And let's not forget that you also get Fusion, which is incredibly more powerful than Adobe After Effects.

You can basically do all the post-production work in one single tool. Even though Fairlight (the built-in DAW) isn't as powerful as Pro Tools, you can get most of the audio work done within Davinci Resolve.

It's just crazy to think that you can get this much for $300. Or in my case, for free when buying a Blackmagic camera.
That needs a source of carbon.
I don't think JSON is a nice way to write config files at all. You can't even add comments. I'd much prefer something like Cue.
Similar to SNS - it doesn't allow multiple endpoints to use queues not readable by other endpoints without extra IAM work, right?

I could go with encrypting messages on each queue instead of doing full isolation at the service level, so endpoints can listen to everything, but not understand most messages. Basically I'm trying to achieve multi-tenancy with adhoc accounts, which would require extra work. (not impossible, but this is what I'm trying to avoid)

May I ask how have you been monetizing Flash up to that point?

I remember reading examples from an e-book on how to build 3D scenes with Flex 3 when I was 17-18 years old. It was a short lived dream of mine to create online video games. Instead, I ended-up making add-ons for PHP-based forums.

During that era Unity had its own web browser plugin and there was at least one Tennis-like game on the miniclip site itself.
Ooooh, this is interesting. I'll see what the performance looks like.

Author here. That was VSeeFace. I have been doing a lot of research and iteration on using vtubing avatar software to try and make it feel more "natural" without getting too far into the uncanny valley.

Where hydrogen is transported or used for fuel, it will be liquified and kept at atmospheric pressure; or stored underground at low pressure.

Ammonia is more practical for transport.
> 600 USD per year is expensive

No. Its not.

With the greatest of respect, have you ever run a business?

I could list many reasons why 600USD is cheap, but I'll leave it with the easiest one to understand, the old adage "time is money".

1. How much are you paying those video editors using the Adobe suite that you're paying 600 USD each a year for ?
2. How many projects are those video editors working on ?
3. What is the profit margin on those projects ?

I would suggest the typical answer to the above is "a lot", "a lot", "thin enough so that they need to complete a reasonable amount of projects to remain profitable".

As for $other_reasons, let's see .... IT equipment, Video/Lighting Equipment, office space, cost of customer acquisition (vs keeping them happy via prompt completion on time) .... the list goes on. The 600USD will be at the lower-end of all the other expenses.

600USD a year is cheap compared to what it is saving your business in time and money, and the efficiencies it brings.
Meetings are like a stupid sort. You can figure everything out after an infinite number of them.

The gist:

> “While people found things like data analysis and math boring, they found scientists exciting, even though a large part of what a scientist does is data analysis,” he said. “So, the way a person describes themselves and what they do could help people see them as less stereotypically boring.”

I hear this opinion a lot but the reason such shells don’t take off is because most of the time in a shell you’re writing the same short snippets over and over. The burden of doing that becomes annoying after a while in some of the more verbose languages. Thus shells favour read once and write many syntaxes.
Try to remember that you're talking about a video game that's considered abandoned, and that the author is allowed to re-upload it to keep it up

This is actually because the author doesn't want to do small labor, not because people are being silenced or murdered
The company I'm with now uses something called 15five.com, every two weeks we have to "checkin" which involves answering a set of boiler-plate questions:

* How do you feel? (1-5)

* What are you struggling with?

etc. One of the (required) inputs is a space where you enter a colleague's name to publicly praise them.

As praising somebody is mandatory it feels a bit meaningless, but still "Thanks to @BobSmith for being great to work with" probably makes Bob feel a bit happier for a while when this gets highlighted to them.
There are legitimate issues but in most cases I encountered, the complaints are of the kind: "it doesn't behave exactly like solution from another language that I happened to learn first and therefore Python sucks.

To be clear, 200GB is not a lot. That’s $2 of HDD space (diskprices.com). Or ~400min of compressed video. Or 33 minutes of raw video.

I expect most people import 100G if they have the cheapest model (128G flash), but the rest are importing 200G or more.
How does that have anything to do with it being imperative and not the fundamental design of the system?

How nix is architectured is exactly why it achieves purity and reproducibility, not the configuration language. It isn't even a goal of ansible in the same sense, per design.

The building blocks of nix is simple, of course it can be implemented in something imperative.
There is also a lot still to do on the GC side. Azul GC with hardware support allowed for amazing results. Even without hardware support the results are quite good.
I had this problem, so I wrote a script. Then, I had 2 problems...

Seriously, though, treating shell script as a prototyping tool can be really powerful. Don't be afraid to rewrite it again as a 'proper' program if you have concerns about maintainability, etc.

Same for me, I'm just more productive in the afternoon/evening, so i start with the low effort stuff like emails in the morning.

From my anecdatal experience in a 42, a tech school ( university/college level), which was open 24/7 for everyone to work whenever they feel like it, the majority of people there ( so mostly but not exclusively young, majority male, interested in tech/development/etc.) prefer afternoons to early evenings. During the late evening/night/early morning the building was mostly empty ( <100 students compared to almost capacity ~700 during the afternoon).
> And honestly, the package situation is the biggest downfall of nix(os), ... but it has a long way to go.

I have a big problem with "it has a long way to go" arguments. "It has a long way to go" in comparison to what? Every project I know of could be described as having "a long way to go".

If we're comparing it with ubuntu/debian, there are few packages that ubuntu/debian have that nixpkgs is missing. On the other hand, what's the status of getting kubernetes in ubuntu/debian? Last I heard it was mired in https://lwn.net/Articles/835599/. And what happens if you use the ubuntu/debian prometheus package? You currently get a version that many people would consider "too ancient to be useful". I could easily use these points to argue that debian has "a long way to go".

The real answer is "they're different". It's a mistake to think the two are just trying to replicate each other piece for piece.

The same goes for people arguing that the linux desktop has "a long way to go", whether they were making that argument in 2001 or 2021.
Yeah, as always, they forget to mention volumetric energy density. Big red flag.

There's some concepts that may work around that, like a blended-wing design. Airbus seems to think it's viable.

https://www.airbus.com/en/innovation/zero-emission/hydrogen/...

Also, a hydrogen fuel cell based plane could be designed to fly much more efficiently than a regular turbofan plane. For instance, something like the Maxwell X-57 where you have very thin, low-drag wings, and use small electric propellers to provide the extra lift needed during take-off and landing.

Electric propulsion enables new designs that wasn't possible with turbofans, and I'm sure electric planes will end up looking quite different from todays planes. But it'll take a couple of decades to figure it out.
I think the hard part here is using enough of a type system to ensure data sanity but not so much of one that you drown in metadata. I'm not really sure of a proper compromise like that.
I'm pretty sure Davinci Resolve has a free edition as well, which is rather complete in itself for nearly 99% of the people wanting to edit their videos (unless you are an aspiring film maker)
