Not sure where your information that n8 was supposed to run Meego comes from, but I remember working with the Nokia s60 team already early 2009 and they were using n8 protos at the time. It’s definitely possible that there were two parallel projects though.

On the other hand, Maemo, the predecessor to Meego, required a pen-like pointer to comfortable use at the time as the UI elements were designed to be small. Only after they completely overhauled the UI (and renamed the Linux based OS Meego) it could have worked on the N8.

For submarine cables, there aren't that many strands, so getting it right is probably worth it, for terrestrial fiber, there may be 100+ strands, so they usually can sort things out at the ends, and I think you just fuse any strand to any strand. Sometimes, only some strands break and you can reallocate strands by priority until the cable can be fixed.
Rediscovering Female Philosophers
Having studied abstract algebra, I disagree that the soul of lisp is abstract algebra. You're not really actively thinking algebraically when you're writing lisp, not in the same way that other languages have you "actively thinking about category theory". There are also other modern FP languages that are "basically lisps", like Julia or Elixir, that would be hard to call "algebraic".
Perhaps it's necessary to add generics to keep users, but my takeaway is this: if you have innovative language features, then you don't need generics to attract a passionate set of early adopters. If you don't have innovative language features, people won't use your language regardless of generics support.
Rereading the thread, perhaps we’re both agreeing with each other? The data wasn’t there at the start, was there three months later, and that’s when updated decision making could occur?

I think I mistook you as agreeing with the GP that we had no chance to improve the outcome with the info at hand.
Does anybody know if this Logitech keyboard supports custom keycaps?

I'm sorely tempted to replace my Keychron K6 with it
* Battery life is apparently 10 months - the Keychron K6 I'm lucky to get a week or so (yes, this is with backlight off)
* Keychron doesn't report battery life over BT
* Keychron - takes 3-4 seconds to wake from sleep each time, which gets super annoying

Of course, I do love the Cherry MX Greens - wonder how the Clicky in the Logitech compares.

And yes I want my custom Granite keycaps on this - but it's some low-profile version - so will it work?

The javac source compiler erases source-level types and inserts casts into the bytecode (at usage sites, not within the generic class). So if you have ArrayList<T>, it will generate one version of ArrayList. But usage sites will have casts inserted where necessary. In particular, in a use of put() on the outside doesn't need a cast (because the single implementation of ArrayList uses Object underneath), but get() will have a cast from Object to String at the call site.
Fiberglass is not plastic. It’s glass, bonded by epoxy resins. I guess epoxies are a kind of plastic, but they’re completely different chemicals than the polymers typically used in plastic items, and so likely would be immune to enzymes in question.
Crypto is priced on the exchanges in terms of USDT, USDC, etc.

If USDT dies then BTC goes to like $500 on Binance. The cascade effects will cause runs on other exchanges, and then you're betting that they have enough reserves to cover a run. I'd want to be far away from the scene when that happens.

The fiat banking system is backstopped against this behavior by the FDIC, which guarantees your funds are safe even if the bank holding the funds goes under. This prevents customers from mass withdrawals in times of crisis. Crypto doesn't have anything like that, therefore it's going to look like the bad ol' days of 19th Century financial panics when a run occurs.
Learning to tolerate differences of strongly held opinion and recognise authority to decide or autonomy to differ helped my workplace antipathies more than "this one trick will help you convince people to agree with you"

My oppositional opponent with authority still makes what I regard as crass shortsighted decisions, on faulty interpretations of shallow evidence, and he rightly maintains I fail to demonstrate corporate acceptance of my radical alternatives and we've been both happier since we arrived here.

Interestingly we also both prefer to caucus for our views sometimes, recognising that playing devils advocate is a shallow version of seeking an alternative point of view on a given problem.

That is an elitist viewpoint. Things that have mass appeal are just that - things that most people like/enjoy/prefer. There will always be niche areas with limited appeal to more critical audiences, or audiences who value other things like aesthetics or other highly technical aspects.

If you can't convince others of your position, then there is no reason for everyone to take it seriously. Its basically the verbal equivalent of a position paper.

Great video. I met Leslie once, sat on the bus beside him on the way to a conference around 8 years ago. He wasn't the chattiest, but you bring up his work, he likes to talk. I think he was just over 70 years old, but still incredibly sharp. At the time Microsoft Research were shutting down their valley office, but they would still let him come in there - last one to put the lights out (metaphorically for computer science research at the big IT companies). Nowadays, he couldn't do the research work he did there and at other places at any big IT company - it's R&D, with the emphasis on "D".
It's fascinating that evolution can occur so rapidly. Perhaps human genome editing will one day be required to help cope with novel externalities. Or, in some cases, maybe we'll get by with additional help from new enzymes.

Pumping oil from inside the Earth and then converting it into plastic and then into CO2 has a much bigger impact than putting the plastic into a garbage dump. The oil to make the plastic came from a hole in the ground. A garbage dump is a hole in the ground. You've essentially done nothing. If you decompose the plastic into CO2, then that has a major impact on the atmosphere.

Strong disagree, I think you might be approaching this from a traditional angle where analytics questions are also questions of the system. In DynamoDB you only focus on access patterns you need for system to work real-time, without bothering with analytics (as stated above). Any question you want to ask on data outside of the operational code is out of the scope.

There have been papers showing that NRP1 interacts with furin-cleaved spike protein. There have been some suggestions that this assists in entry for non-neural cells. There have never been papers (to my knowledge) that show that this plays a role in neuronal infection in humans. Like ACE2, NRP1 is associated with endothelial cells.

Again, this is a research paper, in mice. It has no direct relevance to any symptom you have personally experienced.

I think it exposes a better more consistent contract between the frontend and backend, but I might not use it if my product were an api - it's harder for users who are used to traditional rest apis to consume.

I like how as a backend engineer you can just publish all the data that makes sense in the graphql schema and the frontend folks can just grab whatever they want in a single request to populate whatever view they're working on - easy to explore with graphiql, and you can introspect the schema to generate types for typescript...

TensorFlow Releases TensorFlow v2.9 with New Features
You need to spend a lot of time thinking about your product and who actually wants to pay for it. Who are your ideal customers? What are their challenges? How does your product solve those challenges? How high a priority are those challenges to that audience? Is there an audience that would put them at a higher priority? How much is it worth to them to solve those challenges - how are those challenges currently affecting their business and how much money could they make / save if they fixed them?

If you figure out these answers and get to know your targeted audience very well, you will then understand how they learn about new products and evaluate them. You can then start marketing to them in their language with the value proposition of how your product solves their problems. Put ads up where they will find them, hang out in forums and chat rooms and such where they ask questions, write blog posts about things they are interested in and make sure they get picked up by search engines and - hopefully - news aggregators like this one where your target audience is reading. It's a slow, iterative process that keeps building on itself as you keep going and building momentum. It will be very discouraging at times, but you need to really understand your customers and, when you do, you should be able to figure out why things aren't working when they aren't and how to fix them.

Don't worry about going big and scaling - make enough money to support your needs (and trim your needs as low as you can while remaining comfortable). I found consulting clients by posting on my LinkedIn feed. I have one major privilege here - I've been in the industry for more than 20 years and have built a sizable network as a result, all of whom were eager to help me find clients. The bulk of this network is only a few years old, though, so there's no reason you can't build a similar network yourself, if you haven't already.

As technologists, we tend to focus on the tech. Spend some time focusing on people, their problems, and how you can uniquely solve them - better, faster, more focused, whatever. You may even find tech isn't the answer to solve for - it may be education or writing or running workshops or something else.

And, mostly, build trust in yourself. All of this stuff seems so complicated at first, but that's because we complicate it needlessly. You want o be successful in business? Find an audience that has a need, really understand the consequences of that need and what it means to that audience, create a solution and solicit feedback from the audience, then sell to those who respond favorably. Then, keep listening to them and intelligently improving it to grow the business. If you sit down and think about how YOU would go about doing it, you may find most of the answers you're looking for.

Why do you think they (we) are reacting against it? It's quite the opposite, we try to raise our kids the same way, but the whole system (school, daycares) is obsessed with safety.

I was picking my sibling from daycare when I was ten, but try to make your children do that in 2022 – the daycare will call you (or CPS) immediately. I needed to reach the principal and sign a waiver to make my 1st grader walk alone from school across the road (protected by crossing guards).

Well, maybe we could have "rotting" plastic for stuff we dispose of anyway, and "durable" plastic engineered around these microbes that we use for stuff we want to keep around.

Or, maybe by then we could just rebuild whatever is rotting with our home 3d printer.

I'm not convinced that it can happen so rapidly. My suspicion is that the bugs already had bacteria or fungi in their digestive systems that were able to break down plastic, but that capability was latent in the fungi. We only notice it now because it's a helpful ability. Bringing out a latent ability isn't really evolution.

If some typical write pattern from a typical app is wearing out the SSD really fast, I'd say that's the SSD firmware engineer's problem? And I think they've actually done a great job in general, judging by the typical lifespan of SSDs and the typically great performance. I'd argue that if the drive is designed correctly, most programmers shouldn't have to care about low level details. (I did say MOST).

Wood generally doesn't rot unless it gets wet. Wood is typically treated so that if it gets wet there is a mechanism to prevent fungi from eating it. Painting it, for example, causes the water to slide off the wood before the underlying wood can get wet. But even a tiny puncture of that paint will expose the wood to rot causing fungi that float in the air everywhere. Most wood already has rot causing fungi inside of it, all you need to do to activate it is add water.

Woodbugs are another water loving creature. No water, no problem.

wow!!! really impressed with your memory recall here. Yes I meant the first one. My memory is quite fuzzy as its been ages since I was gaming actively.

To me some of the best games I played allows me to build these internal dialogues with what has transpired so far. So much of Gothic 1 world seemed organic and quite dangerous with enough diversity and variability that creates unique character for each region.

I can't put in to words just how good that game was. Running through a dark forest with low HP, trying to make it to the new camp, witnessing bunch of Snappers gang up on a Scavenger and attack it etc while I hide. That was super impressive because it made me think there was some food chain ecosystem going on.

The story was quite good too and I could identify with the struggles easily. It was a believable world. Bunch of rebel lawlessness in new camp, the resource centric old camp competing, and buddha like spiritual group who seeks to escape the samsara.

I just have not played a good RPG like this on the PC, Stalker also shared similar qualities, perhaps FF7. But it was far more enjoyable than any new games I played recently. In fact I stopped purchasing new games since 2017.

Really wish the coop multiplayer mode in Gothic would've been released, used to get super excited seeing that.
It'd be a lot more effective to redistribute that wealth, first, not over 30 years, and second, not to 100% of the population, but to the bottom income brackets, so the smallest quintile or even decile. So a one-time payout to the bottom 10% would be $150,000. For 20% or 30% of the population, that kind of money could absolutely and instantly lift them out of poverty.

Moreover, you needn't take every last cent from these billionaires. Just leave them with a mere $100 million each and they still have more money than they could reasonably spend in a lifetime.
I understand having multiple proxies, but it seems a bit odd to have more proxy servers than web servers, no? Do they also do caching so that of the up-to 4,000 requests/second, a lot of them never reach the web servers? Presumably the Python code is more resource intensive than HAProxy.
