> whatever attitude you have isn't going to magically get rid of whatever disadvantages you were born into

Yes, it is. I see it all the time. Scott Adams wrote a book about it entitled "Loser Think".

BTW, everybody is born with disadvantages. But everyone also has advantages. Like being born in the US (instead of, say, Venezuela) is a big advantage.
You're not permitted to use anything else, thus: too bad it has a requirement for metal.

I still play around with my XP laptop and even browse with MyPal. It has native WPA2 and can connect to a modern access point. As long as you're behind NAT and aren't downloading random warez, there's not too much to worry about. Just don't do anything sensitive like banking, of course.
What's tragic about it?
I haven’t kept up with either, but remember that “because you know it” is a perfectly reasonable and fine reason!
yeah while c# is more pleasant than Java, but not compare to the ease of a functional language.
I would love to see more programming langauges. Every language has its own philosophy and appearance.
1. I think the term comes from X11 jargon, where each login session is associated with a display (the thing described by the contents of `$DISPLAY`.
I guess now that I looked it up. Wikipedia calls it a flatbread but it has more in common with a biscuit since its unleavened and usually made with lard…
I think a lot of tech companies / products at tech companies, (e.g. Netflix, YouTube, Messenger) fundamentally get one thing wrong. They don't "value" the user's time and drive for *maximum* engagement. Maybe the problem is that there's a new sucker born everyday, but I despise using Netflix and YouTube, and I use them only because I have to.

With Messenger specifically, I absolutely don't want to spend quality time with someone communicating over a digital device. I'd much rather just use it to make plans with the person I want to hang out with.

And when I am making plans to spend time with a significant other, if I made a request to a service for "buying two tickets for hunger games at 9pm" and it returned a message saying "I can get you two tickets for shoreline at 9:10pm", I'd want to throw my phone into the ocean. I'd feel differently if I said "buy two tickets to any movie at 9pm", that'd be a completely different story.

This is the same problem with YouTube. If you've recently subscribed to a user, or watched one of their videos for the first time, and then make a search for something completely different, one of a first few results will be a video of the user you initially interacted with. It is SUCH a bonkers user experience for me and I want to never give YouTube any information about myself for recommendations just because of that.

These platforms / products should be just services. Give the user enough information to make the decision themselves, and help them make the best decision with the most accurate and pertinent information. I hate that these products shove content into your face.

Anyone else feel like the golden age of internet services is behind us, and this shitty version is the only path ahead of us?
That's very cool! Can I have SSR pages be served from multiple regions as well? This would be very beneficial to my e-commerce as I have to SSR some hyper-customized product pages. I'm assuming that Vercel serves requests from the server that is closest to the user, is that correct? If one specific server starts receiving a lot of traffic, does Vercel forward requests that would otherwise go to that busy server to the next closest server?
People that already have money can buy a bunch of bitcoin

Along with early miners

How is that controversial?

There is zero mechanism to change that reality and not an issue bitcoin was claiming to solve. Whichever frothing at the mouth enthusiast told you otherwise can just be ignored.

This is only news because people never made their own analysis after hearing someone else be excited for the wrong reasons.
That extends to pointing out that trust is required. When it's the default state of things, what use is pointing it out going to bring?

I made an obvious point because it's strange to bring up that something on the internet requires trust. Because of course it does.
Does this analogy really fit? I can imagine a software consulting firm targeting small businesses could work where the individual programmers are "in charge" and they hire some support staff because each individual contract is small enough that one or 2 programmers can handle it.

OTOH I can't really imagine teams making large projects not specializing. A browser, a AAA game, or an OS for example. Some programmers know GPU techniques. Some know Database stuff. Some know Video compression/decompression. Others know USB driver level details. Others know networking issues. Another few know audio related stuff.
Are you sure that something like PJAX wouldn't bring you like 80% along the way from MPAs to SPAs, as far as "interactivity and quickness" is concerned? Or did you already try that?
>But I’ve always seen them made using a hard-shell made of corn, that breaks way too easy. And I believe that’s considered heretic in the US

Certainly not heretic. You'll find hard-shell corn tacos in pretty much any US grocery store. They do break easily but they're what I would tend to use for a taco with ground beef. Otherwise, I'd usually use soft corn.
>You pay $50 and wait a few minutes.

I would have no problem if this was true. But it is not. $49 only for non-Face ID Model. $69 for FaceID, or pretty much all current iPhone lineup except iPhone SE. You also have to wait 30 min to hours depending on store. Not few minutes unless you are the only one doing Battery Swap which is highly unlikely given how they are always fully booked.

Depending on which part of the world you are in, your prospective on the Battery swap pricing differ greatly on a $10 Battery part.
I first saw Nitinol in 1977-78 when I was checking out University of MO, Rolla.* They gave away samples to touring prospective freshman. A short time later there was an article in Omni Magazine about this cool Alloy that no one knew what to do with. Pretty sure there was a prize for good ideas. I still have some patent ideas in a notebook. One might still be viable,although it is mainly for novelty.

I am pretty sure there are many uses to be discovered yet. I suggest everyone here buy a few samples to play with.

*Drank that chance away :) Ended up graduating 16 years later from FAU - Home of the fighting burrowing owls!!
How did you guys feel about all the Linux patent sabre rattling that Microsoft was doing at the time or shortly thereafter?
In America, hard-shell tacos are simultaneously heretical and popular. It's polarizing, like pineapples on pizza.
4 players is the official one and is considered more of a challenge.
That's simply not true. The cost of the bitcoin miner itself is insubstantial (a small percentage of its total lifetime cost), the primary cost of mining is the commodity energy cost.
Luckily, it was possible for revert this change. I kind of liked Unity. Still not sure why most people hated it
> would everybody be successful? Probably not.

Yes, everyone can be successful. It is not zero-sum. Someone else's success is not at your expense.

Though there are some endeavors that are deliberately set up to be zero-sum. Like the Olympics. Only the fastest wins a gold. But note that this is a completely artificial constraint. Real life in a free market society is not like that at all.

That's common in all sorts of pastry, but that's done pre-bake. A burrito is (bread not pastry and) wrapped post-baking. It may help a little, but probably also unwelcome moistness at the quantity it would take to do anything.

>What I’m advocating here is that GitHub translates TeX to MathML on their servers and serve us the MathML

I see. What confused me was the "options aren’t just MathJax and KaTeX, but also raw MathML" since those tools can be used server-side and they output some HTML or MathML or images. MathJax moreover besides TeX also takes MathML and AsciiMath input.

>Another benefit is that you could allow us to include the pure MathML

I guess they went with what most people work with since rendering TeX in Markdown complements their Jupyter notebook rendering.

>and if they did write it by hand it would be written as

Maybe. I copied my example from MDN docs git repo.
In my experience, one of the biggest benefits of SPAs is that the front-end tends to be a bit more decoupled from the back-end when compared to SSR apps. Now, of course MPAs could be built this way, and plenty probably are, but again, it's not something I have personally seen often.
They have fairly strong protections, but it's not a blank check. Nintendo for example is aggressive about getting stuff taken down from there.
I've enjoyed many good breakfast burritos in Austin but won't oder them most places because, as you say, they tend to be stuffed with filler. Tacos can suffer from this too--I'm sure there must be some pork under all this cabbage--but you can usually get rid of some of the filler and there's not as much room to stuff a lot of it in anyway.
>So in our current co-op, two of us tend to enforce the bottom line, in our respective areas. I mean, legal structure and org structure, while there may be influenced, can be pretty orthogonal.

In some sense, then the two of you may extraordinary - a combination of ethics, IQ and integrity. Your biggest challenge will be handing over the reigns when you are ready to leave (usually only due to bad health or age, it's life long thing). More specifically the task has to begin decades before you leave. If it's not done (often the case) the enterprise's morals rot, even if it continues to be financially successful.
> With Messenger specifically, I absolutely don't want to…

The big issues with a proclamation like this are:

1. You’re 1 person and you have to recognize you don’t speak for anyone other than yourself.

2. The things people say they don’t want to do and what they actually don’t do are often surprisingly different.
Yeah, look at Russia in 1917 and 1947 under communists (won the war. From wooden plough to atomic piles). Compare with 1991 vs. 2021 under capitalists (banana republic, production is a fraction).

> By contrast, removable-battery phones are all garbage practically as soon as you open the box. The Samsung XCover is only 2 years old, might not even get Android 12, and definitely will never get anything after Android 12.

That isn't a property intrinsic to removable-battery phones; An Apple phone with a removable battery would be the best in terms of software and battery longevity, both of which are factors which serve to prolong the life of the phone.
The ability to move your assets at any time elsewhere, into your own custody or to another provider is exactly what you get for sake of not having centralized control.

It's fair to say that they likely care about it less than someone not using those services... but so what? The world isn't just black and white.
Perhaps, but after even just a few relatively short attempts to start organizing some of my files with tags I don't think this would be sufficient. I found the meaning of tags frequently started to drift. What I cared about and why just wasn't that consistent. Never mind being consistent with hair-splitting judgement calls in categorization.

And the more you tag, the more difficult it is to fix. Either you retag everything to fit the new standard or you accept that trying to retrieve things by tag will return some weird set defined by the intersection of your changing definition over time and the time at which you applied the tag.

I don't doubt a more structured and principled approach would help, but I found it just ended up soaking up tons of time, and thought, without actually providing much back.
Market utilization. We must change the rules to change the game.
I always feel amazed when I see a large micro-SD card (1TB for example) and compare it to my Atari 800 which had three 16k ram cartridges, each larger than an iPhone Max. So this micro-SD card the size of my thumbnail is 67 million times the memory of one of those cartridges.

I've repaired / modded non-iphones that bind display / covers with adhesive. Both broke them in various ways the process and saved them later.

Using screwdrivers to pry will very likely crack the screen and if that's the only tool available, one ought to wait on repairs the right tools are available. Using a screwdriver would otherwise introduce scratches / chips in the areas you'd insert / slide it through. One has to use a material that's softer than the contact material and non-abrasive. It also requires a lot of patience, but it pays off. I don't really know if that's knowledge someone can get in under 30 minutes of internet research, but if it is, I don't expect that onus to fall on a manufacturer.
I think you're right - I will talk to someone before doing anything drastic.

I've taken more than enough of people's time today (thank you and others for your insights - they are really useful). I did want to clarify something about my thoughts though - it's not that they're always dark and horrible at all - but they are rather opaque to an outsider. As I mentioned, I grew up alone for large swathes of time, and I learned to have conversations with myself, as a form of companionship. Such conversations form my inner life - but its difficult to let someone else in on them. As an example, here's Bill Burr with a story about muffins, which I relate to so much - it still makes me cry with laughter even though I've watched it about 1000 times. :-)

Rails has added a lot of cool built in stuff. SPA like stuff that is done over sockets but written in ruby (Hotwire is the name of it) is the most germane to this conversation.

But all t he other stuff common to popular libraries still applies, tons of community support, huge extensibility, large population of devs that have experience building large apps.
Found the FB dev

edit: take your own advice
I feel that single-threaded processing power stopped increasing at 2 major events in history:

* The arrival of video cards around 1997 (focus shifted from general computation to digital signal processing)

* The arrival of the iPhone around 2007 (focus shifted from performance to power consumption)

I'd vote to undo these setbacks by moving to local data processing, where a large number of cores each have 1/N of the total memory, shared by M memory busses. Memory controllers would manage shuffling data to where it's needed so that the memory appears as 1 contiguous address space to any process.

In other words, this would look identical to the desktop CPUs we have today, just with a large number of cores (over 256) and a memory bandwidth many hundreds or thousands of times faster than what we have now if it uses content-addressable memory with copy-on-write internally. The speed difference is like comparing BitTorrent to FTP, and why GPUs run orders of magnitude faster than CPUs (unfortunately limited to their narrow use cases).

This would let us get back to traditional programming in the language of our choice (perhaps something like Erlang, Go or Octave/MATLAB) rather than shaders.

Apple appears to be trying to do this with their M1 and ideas loosely borrowed from transputers. But since their goals are proprietary, they won't approach anything close to the general computing power available from the transistor count for at least a decade, maybe never.

So there's an opportunity here for someone to reintroduce multicore CPUs and scalable transputers composed of them. Then we could write whatever OpenGL/Vulkan/Metal/TensorFlow libraries we wanted over that, since they are trivial with the right architecture.

This would also allow us to drop async and parallel keywords from our languages and just use higher-order methods which are self-parallelizing. Processing big data would "just work" since Amdahl's law only applies to serial and sequential computation.

The advantages are so numerous that I struggle to understand why things would stay the way they are other than due to the Intel/Nvidia hegemony. And I've felt this way since 1997, back when people thought I was crazy for projecting to the endgame like with any other engineering challenge.
think of leavening (either via yeast or chemical means) and lard as just extra feature bits in the larger flatbread space.

Nope. It's obviously false by inspection - the GDP grows most years.

At the micro level, suppose I give Picasso $25 worth of art supplies. He then creates a painting with it worth $1,000,000. This painting becomes a valuable asset that he can then use as collateral for a loan. Banks loan money by creating it.

I.e. $999,975.00 magically appeared!

The 22H2 release of Win11 requires an online account even for the Pro edition. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/05/windows-11s-first-ye...
What boggles my mind is how slow the Win 10 start menu can be. Unless you disable the web integration via regedit, it can take _seconds_ to open something as simple as the calculator. Plenty of times I'm tapping my fingers for something that would have been instant in XP.

This makes Win 10 so much more pleasant for me:

This is quite a boring argument, not really to defend GP's comment, but you know what they meant. There's plenty of 'processed crap' - whatever you want to call it - that I don't want to eat that, fine sure, is no more 'chemical' than the raw ingredients I'm using at home.
> In terms of misremembering the occupation

By using the word „misremembering“ you only show the misunderstanding of real experiences of people which lived in that period. They may have experienced oppression, but it could be subtle and perceived very differently. Those people are not necessary living better now, often on the contrary. Transition to capitalism has left many behind, and being old, poor and misunderstood is certainly felt worse today than being young and not being able to buy American jeans back then. Calling it a false memory is intellectual snobbery.
> You probably shouldn’t build websites as SPAs but you probably should build most apps as SPAs.

As a frontend dev this has always been my stance, but I’ve been consistently shunned for it.

How much of that was naïveté vs. misaligned incentives I’m not sure.

In any case, these thing always leave me with the feeling the industry is getting way too saturated with script kiddies. It just feels immature, and the culture that’s grown around web dev seems to reflect that. Or more likely I’m just bitter and old.

I think when it comes to big companies of any sort, not just big tech, a lot of unloved initiatives are also not well-liked from within, but even fairly critical people tolerate it as long as they’re not in close proximity to it. I can only imagine others here can relate to the pressures of trying to balance pressure to prioritize short to mid-term business success vs investing in long-term gains and user trust. Maybe Google is a bit of a weirder case, but I was there when Dragonfly was uncovered and though some people quit, most people just complained. (To be sure, I definitely understand that some company culture would be more aggressive against internal dialogue like this. I’m somewhat neutral on it as it definitely had its ups and downs.)
There are bezels on the top and bottom because the S4 came out in 2013, not because of the waterproofing method.

IP67 is enough for me, and I will happily trade .3mm of thickness for a removable battery.

Not that we should assume that IP68 has to be sacrificed. There aren't a lot of comparison points on that specific attribute. A Galaxy Xcover Pro is bulky but that's because it's much more ruggedized in general.

That feels like creative accounting of code to me. Is the rendering really simpler, or does it merely happen in a different place?
> Short selling doesn't create new stocks,

Short selling never creates new legal shares with voting rights: but they do exist in the marketplace until that position is closed. This means that this artificial share affects the price per share, does it not?

> the answer is easy, go to any website and divide market cap by share price.

This is a chicken and egg calculation. How is market cap computed? Market cap is computed by taking shares x price per share.

But if you have an unknown number of borrowed shares in the market, then this entire calculation is unreliable. The only reliable number that exists in stock trading is the current price per share.

> declared at least twice a month for American assets.

It seems like you see twice a month as a good thing. I think it's a bad number that can be easily manipulated.

> On the other hand, how would you see how many short positions exist for BTC considering that it is traded across multiple exchanges?

Absolutely perfect information about all of reality would probably never exist, but you have a blockchain you can look at in real time, you have exchanges that publish wallet addresses and other information that can be monitored to see reserves, inflows, and outflows. IMO, there's a bit of some kinds of disclosure possible with crypto that cannot exist with stocks.
Or you can try minibridge, it at least has official rules.
