In 2013 I was at I/O, when Larry Page stood on stage and allowed questions from the audience. It was enlightening and he gave a clear vision of the future.
I have no idea what Sundar Pichai stands for. He still seems like someone working below a CEO improving a range of products. It's apt, because he is a bit like Tim Cook, both focused on a diversified organisation and an engine to pop out improvements.
I miss the big visions and the clear picture. We only get that from Elon Musk and I wish we had a few visionaries as counterweight against him.
I don't have too much legal information from USA jurisdictions, it's interesting seeing the differences.
Wow so that must mean when the government really needs people to fight in a war they tax the working class really heavily, to encourage them to quit their jobs and make marching off to death more attractive.

Instead of say, implementing a draft?
Trump never had a majority vote for him in the US. So that case is very similar to the indirect voting you’re talking about wrt von der Leyen
From my management experience the leaders are actually doing their job when they do this. Leaders at that level are expected to make strong decisions and to stick with them. It is thought better to have a leader make the wrong decisions firmly and adjust later with a well planned change than the business wobling down the road. So the senior executives are actually doing what the board expects/tasked them to do, keep the direction stable until the next planned/controlled correction. That is why it feels like you are talking to a wall. You are. What you see as a 'bug' the board sees as a 'feature' and the expected output of a C-level.

Bad analogy (I'm old) the light at the intersection is going to stay red until it is time to turn green, even though it would make more sense right now for it to turn green for you because you are the only one at the intersection. Bigger picture, having the lights on timers works better than everyone having a stop sign, even though it looks/feels stupid waiting at a red light with no one else there. The lights seem stupid sometimes, but it scales better than a bunch of stop and go stop signs. (Yes, I know that now lights have sensors, bad analogy now like I said).

TLDR; What if it's not a bug, but it's actually the output the board wants.
Wow, their pricing looks almost too good to be true? I think everything I've ever done with Heroku can be done for free on here, if I'm reading this right
Economic growth caused these things to go up; the governments (which also existed in past periods of human existence) caused growth to be much slower than it could have been.

Don’t confuse government causing a increase in government spending on something with causing an increase in the actual supply of that thing. When governments restrict the supply of healthcare and housing (which they do, through professional licensing and zoning regulations), they can spend more on them without increasing supply.
I was there too and those were actually the good days. You felt like Google was building the internet
Yeah, that was probably the last year that I was interested in Google’s products. I couldn’t believe how awesome that demo was, it really felt like the future. But then the features that we actually got were huge letdowns. And I just kinda…stopped caring, and started asking questions about privacy concerns, and ultimately moved off of Google entirely.
OpenNIC is an user owned top-level NIC alternative to traditional TLD registries
I wouldn't bet my income on my 97-year-old grandmother for surviving as long as I promised my clients their website would stay online.

That said, I don't think Heroku is that close to being sunset, but that's my guess, and that guess is as good as the people who say it is. I'm currently messing around with fly.io and that product is so young one would be crazy to think it has better chances to last the next decade than Heroku does.
Depends on what the output is
Heroku's pricing model is absurdly complicated. [0] But for anything nonfree, you're probably going to end up at over $100/mo, even if just by accident.

To compare it to one of their current competitors, render [1], for something with all the same features as gave me that $100/mo figure, you're looking at about $15/mo.

When I interviewed in pre-pandemic Mountain View, there was a section of the parking lot with around 6 RVs parked next to each other. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Maybe they did it long enough to save up money for a house.
> there’s no live customer support person to talk with in the event of a problem

There is, if you own a Pixel or pay for it (Google One, combines extra Google Drive/GMail storage and customer support). It's not great that you have to pay for it, but at Google's scale it doesn't really make sense, purely financially, the staffing required to support every free user.

Are there many companies that operate under a freemium/freeware business model that provide free support to anyone?
Yes, this is a simple way to think about it:

If you choose n uniformly random values in [-1/2, 1/2] (the unit cube) then the sum of squares will be concentrated around n/12 (just take the variance).

This is way more than 1, which is what you would need to stay inside the unit ball.
Germany actually supplies a lot of arms, compared to partners, they announced yesterday that they train Ukrainians to use modern howitzers before sending them to Ukraine.

OTOH, their PR is shit.
It was over health not vegetarianism. McDonalds adopted a little bit of the cholesterol war and a little bit of styrofoam reduction in that time period and that's about it.
Really hard to know the exact breakdown, but there's also a significant amount of institutional activity in crypto too. The recent crash has put a large whole in the balance shit of many trading firms and VCs
After elementary may be too early. In my country most of selection is at year 9 (pupils being 14-15 y/o). That's not a hard cut off though. Technically you take same exam and may go to university if you want. But if you picked arts school, you probably won't do well in exams needed for STEM at university...

Works pretty well I'd say.
From Copy to Reference
I'm actually more optimistic for the EU than I've been in a long time. There is a major crisis again, but instead of arguing and fighting, the countries are working together and getting things done. The economic downturn may be painful in the short term, but if the countries can maintain the unity, the future looks promising.
The placebo effect is a helluva drug
It appears to me YouTube does have dislike button. Do you mean you don't give NACK explicitly, and hence experiencing bad recommendations? Or the dislike button is not visible in your version of YouTube ?
The regulations specify they should not be easily changed. Distributing source makes it easier to change.
> Why is that? How much of a connection does a rich white socialite in New York have with a poor custodian from an immigrant family? Sure, their representative may be trying to bring money into their district, but beyond that is it really possibly to represent both of their interests?

Both of those vote Democrat. The middle class vote Republican.
That's such a Detroit story - warms my heart.

I remember when I lived there some car pulled out of a grocery store one evening with the occupants firing handguns into the air. Turned out they were a bunch of drunk Detroit PD junior officers.

Or the Detroit suburb that basically went bankrupt so it was dissolved and turned back over to the county. The police station was just abandoned with all the paperwork and evidence still there, some of it still on the desks from when the last person just locked the door and went home.
It's really astonishing to me how deeply bad the radio in the P6Pro is. It's such a huge step back from the Pixel 5, likely owing to them moving off of the Qualcomm radio and on to... Tensor? Some Tensor/Samsung Exynos hybrid? Either way it's misery salad. Drops calls. Can't handle wifi transition. Can't manage low-signal 5G, so just... stops working instead of falling back to LTE properly. Can't handle the UWB transition. Hot as hell when it's actually backing up anything large. Awful all around on that front.
they don't use any GPL code in stuff that they license in any other way. it isn't a matter of liking the license or not, it's a matter of license compatibility.

From that document:

"If you’re an enterprise managing trusted CAs for your organization, including locally installed enterprise CAs, the policies described in this document do not apply to your CA. No changes are currently planned for how enterprise administrators manage those CAs within Chrome. CAs that have been installed by the device owner or administrator into the operating system trust store are expected to continue to work as they do today."

In other words, locally installed certificates are normally treated as trusted by Chrome.

Writing FP style Python is a bad idea because the runtime is not optimizer for that. Function calls have high overhead and I don't think it has TCO?

More generally, you don’t have immutability / value semantics by default.
But isn't vision just holding firmly to a plan and sticking with it? The same thing people here are complaining about C-Levels doing? Rigidly plunging ahead (driving towards the vision) and not sidetracking from the vision instead taking everyone's input?
Thank you! We actually do use the "projects" feature, but we've found a fair number of options don't work when defined at the project level (a good example is `coverageThreshold` - we weren't able to make per-project thresholds work, at least in jest 26).

Glad that this one has the ability to be configured more granually - that'll come in handy for migrating gradually.
Sounds like it will be possible to watch the hearing over Zoom.
Simple solution to get rid of gerrymandering: Create a pool of extra mandates, not assigned to a specific district. Distribute them to the parties however needed to make the overall vote proportional.

This way districts still have a representative, but there is no insentive for gerrymandering.

This is a commonly known as Overhang seats in MMP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhang_seat
This would totally make sense. A major change in architecture with some libraries breaking. While many people are still store from the 2->3 transition I would not expect this change to be that severe Most code should work for python 3 and 4 without changes.
I think it almost happened once. Right before wsl launched.

But there is tons of value being captured by closed operating systems?
Such laws is the rich projecting their own thoughts onto the populace. They believe that if the populace is allowed to talk to each other with secrecy, they'd inevitably conspire to take power from the landlords, because those landlords are already conspiring to do exactly this.
"42 admits out of 1,959 applicants in 2016"

Crazy enough. That is a HUGE amount. CC isn't a huge funnel success -- stories are rare - most students drop out etc.
This is not surprising. The WordPress scene is super confusing right now. I spent almost 5 years building WordPress websites professionally and stopped a few years go. If I would need to build a WordPress site today, I would not know if I should start. Even the themes at WordPress.com (the hosted "user-friendly" version) have wildly different editing experiences.

That has nothing to do with what I wrote and does not address the question?

> ...bunch of questions...

Yeah, if you claim that something is a "game changer" you should provide some arguments, not questions/"help determine".

It might very well be a game changer but thud far you have only suggested there might be an argument for that, if ...
> Meanwhile, Windows without hardware less than 2 years old is absolutely worthless.

That is not my experience at all.
there are lots of articles on the subject, your can use Google
I use GAE for just about every deployment I have. Works very well. And I like that I can deploy code from whatever branch (or no branch at all) to whatever service I want.
I went to Oxford, where they give you actual 3/2/1-on-1 tutorials several times a week. You get to sit in a comfy room with an actual world renowned professor in the appropriate field.

Great as it sounds, I think the main benefit is accountability rather than better teaching. You don't want to be the guy who wastes an hour with the fellow of the academy of sciences.

As for teaching, such people tend to have more of a bird's eye view of things than is good for teaching. They don't know a whole lot about the details of the subject anymore, their job is to find funding. The best teachers tended to be recent PhDs.
Yeah, that's more like it. RPG worked a lot to bring sophisticated Lisp to UNIX systems. He worked on bringing a standard OOP system to Lisp (incl. Lisp Machines, where Lucid (and he personally) collaborated with Xerox PARC and Symbolics to develop CLOS as a part of the ANSI Common Lisp standard).

Then he tried to develop and market similar technology in the form of a databased-backed incremental C++ development system for UNIX (called Energize). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQQTScuApWk
He hoped that the market for C++ environments was larger than the shrinking Lisp market and that C++ developers would want an interactive system with integrated code management in an object store. That did not went well.
An ESP32+eink is a fun gadget. I got a https://shop.m5stack.com/products/m5paper-esp32-development-... before it went out of stock and it makes a nice weather station/status display that pulls info down from an in-house web server.
As someone with probably 30+ sites built with Kirby I’d agree that it’s better than WP in many ways but it’s very developers oriented and it’s not really a replacement for WP for the average user.

And when I say developers oriented I mean it in a good way.

There are only terminal emulators on UNIX clones.

I grew up in Sacramento and lived there throughout my childhood. In my opinion Sacramento is the most pleasant large city in the Central Valley. It has a nice walkable core (though the areas outside the core are generally examples of classic unwalkable suburbia), and Sacramento has a lot of trees (though this may be a negative if you have allergies). If you prefer a more suburban lifestyle, there are many nice suburbs such as Fair Oaks, Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, and Elk Grove. The Amtrak Capitol Corridor may be a good alternative to driving to/from the Bay Area depending on your starting and ending destinations. Rents and purchase prices are more affordable than in the Bay Area, but prices have gone up a lot in recent years.

Some other places in the Central Valley that I find pleasant are:

- The Sacramento River Delta region along Highway 160, which runs from the southern portion of Sacramento to Antioch. The towns of Hood, Courtland, Locke, Walnut Grove, and Isleton are quite nice.

- Mountain House is a master-planned community just over the Altamont Pass near Tracy. Just to be warned: home prices in this area are quite expensive here by Central Valley standards due to its proximity to the Bay Area; it is the closest Central Valley community to Livermore.

- Ripon is a nice town along Highway 99 between Manteca and Modesto with high-quality public schools.

- Some of the neighborhoods in the northern parts of the Fresno metro area are quite nice. You can access Yosemite from Fresno via Highway 41.
Personal websites for Youtubers don't really make sense unless they have some kind of format that can't be handled via videos, playlists, or their descriptions.

The only ones I've seen for Youtubers are cooking channels, where the description format is very poor for recipes.
What would the practical effect be for me as a user, say I render in Blender, or I play a few intensive 3d games?
Indeed. Fun fact: e-ink is the name of the brand whereas e-paper display is the general term.
Germans were hoping that Ukraine will fall and they can go on doing business with Russia. Right after 2014 annexation of Crimea they decided to build Nord Stream 2. And they were laughing when USA, Poland, Baltics and Ukraine were telling them that they need to diversify.

It's quite possible that without German appeasement of Putin this 2022 invasion would have not even happen.

France and Germany blocked Ukraine NATO membership.

Some of German leaders still hope to go to business like usual like Volkswagen CEO.

Germans still keep on saying that nobody could have foreseen this war.

Well, in 2008, 14 years ago, Polish president in Tbilisi during the Russian invasion of Georgia:

> We know very well. Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after tomorrow – the Baltic States and later, perhaps, time will come for my country, Poland.

cool stuff! I was trying to do something similar on Arm Neon (m1 pro) with the CNT instruction
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0596/2020-12/SIMD...

I believe it does 128 bits per instruction, but I'm still struggling with rust w/ asm.

Along my journeys, however, I found this repo https://github.com/WojciechMula/sse-popcount/ which has tons of competing simd implementations for both intel and arm.

Point being, of you haven't found the good collections pf this stuff, you're probably filter bubbled.
I don't follow, but you communicated your animosity.

The topics of the thread have everything to do with each other as I read it: the value of the technology, human resources and efficiency (waste vs value).

I thought past generations valued freedom and privacy even more.
Same. My peers were going crazy trying to get ready for university. Once my plan was to do community college and transfer, the last two years of high school became really easy. Tuition was something like $11/unit, and textbooks were actually a bigger expense.

I have a 4 year degree from a state school now, and even though I missed out on some of the dorm shenanigans/networking/etc, I’m doing just fine now. And I never had any student loans to worry about. (Admittedly, my parents did help pay for my degree, but $2500/semester at a state university is very, very reasonable.)
So many folks in this subthread don't seem to realize that computer security is a thing to be desired and a fundamental right. Or, it was on Windows and Mac until the last decade or so.

There are real costs to not being able to trust your own local computer and personal information. History is rife with examples, from IBM and internment during WWII to the malware and NSA of modern times. Data is no longer deleted.
They'll still want your phone number and carrying a second phone just for those moments is a bit of a hassle.

I'd be interested in a dual sim phone that had an instant "private mode" user account switch to the second sim. But even that would be a pita and it would severely limit the choice of hardware as well.
C++ had a major change of direction with C++11, to the extent that a lot of previous design patterns and constraints are now completely obsolete. C++98 compared to C++20 is probably equivalent to Python 2.2 vs 3.9, and someone wouldn't claim to "know python" if they only used 2.2.
Germany is a little bit more complicated as we also take into account proportionality on the level of each state. And you (at least in general) more than double the size of parliament. But the gist is correct.
Canonical has certainly done its hardest to align with Microsoft.
Heroku was paramount to "proving" _what_ developer experience was at the earliest stage of my career.

Because of Heroku, anytime I build products for other developers, I put so much time and effort into trying to design something intuitive to use to for the domain.

Can someone explain me how this works? The article mentions a "rigid frame". Does that frame need to have the (inverse) shape of the lense? Is the method thus just a way to copy lenses or can it make a truly new (i.e. more precise than all necessary tools) one?
tons of people use linktree on social media sites like Instagram or TikTok where linking to things is particularly hard (i.e. links are not clickable anywhere except the one link slot in your bio). Sites like linktree let people make a little landing page with links to all their other stuff, which is often enough for many people.
Separating the data from the representation is a good idea, but a graph database is overkill for this. I’d just use SQLite.
That's the story with Javascript in general, the tooling is just terrible.

This is one of the underappreciated part of flutter, 4 months of upgrade take me 30min of work and the hot reload just works, good luck with that in the JS world.
Good joke, but knowing that foundations in permafrost don't "depend" on it but adapt and adjust to it (either through adjustable piers, gravel pads, or floor joists floating on insulation and gravel, etc)... definitely an /s
