Wikipedia says between 12m and 17m were manufactured, in total.

Trammel claimed 30m based on a remembered estimate of rough sales numbers per year, but the only estimate that’s based on objective evidence - serial number analysis - is 12.5m.

Here's my comment parsed through my experimental browser extension https://i.imgur.com/CNtaK3u.png
/me 65, two kids, two grandkids, two marriages, each of about 15 years. Both times the wife divorced me, rather than vv. (and no doubt that says something about me). Both times the relationship was rocky, but I would have stuck it out were it not for being sued by my supposedly-trusted life partner.

I haven't had many girlfriends either, but I haven't felt that as a "lack". I've never had many friends either - usually not more than three or four good friends at any time.

I now live alone, and I don't see many people. I talk to my exes fairly regularly, and I'm on good terms with my kids - but they live faraway. I'm not "lonely", though, in the sense that being alone makes me sad or regretful. I'm fine with my own company. I like to crack jokes and talk politics, so I miss those occasions; I miss cuddling a warm woman; and I'd like to have someone living with me, to pick me up if I fall over, and to look after me if I get ill. But those things are basically transactional, not about loneliness; I could pay someone to provide those services.

I'm not a "loner" - I like people, and people like me. I'm not shy. I think it's just that I find that cultivating casual friendships in the hope they might blossom is a lot of work, so I don't cultivate many. And the idea of having two girlfriend relationships at the same time - i.e. while one is ending and the other beginning - fills me with dread, and I've never done that.

Like you, I've spent my career in IT. I've never made a good friend at work. I mean, I've made "friends" with people at work, and even brought them to my home and made dinner for them; but they were never good friends. I'm a bit idiosyncratic in my tastes, and many of my attitudes and opinions are quite leftfield. These work-friends were all very straight, by my standards. I've no objection to people being "normal" - by definition, the majority of people are - that's no obstacle to being friends, for me. But it may have been an obstacle for them.
> but I wish they'd taught us JS, because what they taught me was Java Swing

This is an odd criticism. Finding a job using Swing is hard, but jobs using Java are plentiful, and applying what you learn from that class to a different language and framework isn't that big of a leap. It's a leap you'll often take whenever you change jobs.
I honestly think nothing has really changed. You can see SCO saying "We have graphics now! People will want to use Unix on the desktop now" all the way back in the 80s. Computers keep getting bigger but the software keeps up with it. All that's really changed is that we have more computers since the smallest ones are so cheap, even so we had cheap MCUs back then.
I have always wondered if the increasing number of EVs would have the same effect on the electrical grid as YouTube/Netflix had on ISP infrastructure (e.g. https://www.forbes.com/sites/amitchowdhry/2013/11/11/netflix...)

I remember reading that Texas and California have the highest solar energy production potential in the states, and with the recent spikes in demand, I believe Texas will move closer to utilizing it. (https://web.archive.org/web/20120916045134/http://www.nrel.g...)
I grew up with a Mac so my experience was a little different, but I’m amazed at people who’s first experience sitting down at a computer was starting at an unforgiving blinking cursor.

I did cheat since I started directly with fasmg. Nowadays, I use 2 assemblers: fasmg and gas (I am only a user of nasm via ffmpeg building, and I _really_ dislike nasm SDK).

A modern HDD is 15-30 million times cheaper per byte than that 10mb “hard disk you’ve been waiting for” ad according to diskprices.com. What will get 30 million times better in the future vs. what is tapped out?

‪If you adjust for inflation assuming the year was 1980, the drive would cost $12,000 in today’s dollars. So today’s drives are over 800 million times cheaper. Plus lighter and way faster I’m sure. So more than 1B times better, easily, with 42 years of progress. ‬
There is absolutely no evidence about Apple's "intentions" or "efforts" here, despite constant hectoring and bad-faith, zero-evidence arguments from people like you.

"Unnecessarily" difficult? Whatever. What you really mean is that Apple has been optimizing for durability, water-resistance, and smaller size, and people like you don't like those choices, so you are having a tantrum. Those choices, of necessity, mean that repairs are going to be a bit of a pain.
Something that I often find frustrating about modern technology is how little we do with the vast amounts of processing power we have. A lot of what we are doing now - word processing, spreadsheets, email, web browsing - was done by machines with a fraction of the computing power two decades ago. What does it matter if the numbers get bigger if the use cases are the same?

This looks like a lot of effort for pirated software, unless I'm missing something.
Yeah but then you can't use a trendy buzzword farming method as a selling point for the Safeway ones.
The craziest thing about Byte Magazine was that it was published in Peterborough, NH. I was friends with the editor's son in the early 90s... If you've ever been to that area of NH, you'd be amazed that a high tech magazine of Byte's stature was published there. I'd be surprised if the town even had decent broadband before the 2000s. Physically and culturally, it's about as far away from Silicon Valley (where I live now) as you can get.
I encourage anyone interested in this concept to check out Opolis. I have been happy so far. Seems to be one of the few companies actually making this happen right now.
Law firms don't have economies of scale. Two partnerships can serve N clients roughly as well as one larger company could. Most software has huge economies of scale, so it's unlikely small partnerships would be successful long-term unless they filled a tiny niche (read not-very-profitable) that wasn't worth pursuing by a bigger company.
>Yes you are right, I do not see how can you understand Physics/Nature without exploiting anything

I am happy to equate exploitation with understanding, but then I don’t see how you could possibly understand Mathematics without exploiting computation.

The pyramids were built at least 1000 years before Pythagoras was even born. If division and trigonometry was needed to build them then the Egyptians understood and exploited division trigonometry before Pythagoras invented the language to explain/teach division and trigonometry.

It is not at all surprising that nobody else could understand (exploit, compute with) a language Pythagoras made up, but eventually he taught (indoctrinated?) some students on how to use his invention.

To compute with; and exploit any language first you must comprehend its grammar and semantics.

Still! The Babylonians could compute the square root of 2 (in practical terms, obviously they didn’t call it “square root of 2”) to arbitrary precision even without having numbers in their Mathematics.

Overall I don’t think we are disagreeing over anything substantial either way. Computation is the controlled manipulation of matter. Manipulating symbols to do useful things is a form of computation.

A fly may have some knowledge sufficient to exploit nature in the moment, but it doesn’t have the knowledge necessary to encode and communicate its knowledge to its peers. And it certainly can’t communicate its knowledge to generations 2500 (or more) years into the future.
Having multiple parallel products is common after an acquisition. The challenge then lies in bringing the two together without alienating either customer base. There are inherent difficulties there - before the acquisition, customers made a choice to use one product and reject the other. Determining why those choices were made, what the underlying needs are, and designing a bridge between the products that keeps X% of the customer base happy enough to accept a product merge is a challenge and takes time. It isn't even all tech problems - someone needs to define what that X% is, and exactly how pissed off the people who fall outside that X% can be before it is an unacceptable hit on the company's reputation.

I would be surprised if there is not a team looking at how to merge at least some pieces of Github in the Azure structure and branding. But I wouldn't hold my breath for any announcements on progress either.
Lol. Yeah, right. "Any" trained industrial designer?

Why has fucking nobody ever built this fantasy product, then? Because NOBODY has. We've had to listen to 15 years of this whining and NOBODY to date seems to be able to do this supposedly-trivially-easy thing you are talking about.
Kinda amazing that nowadays anyone can go to a store and get a "super" computer that fits in their pockets in the form of a smartphone. Want to video call someone across the world? Buy one of those, setup an account for the Apple/Google store (yay walled garden), install WhatsApp or your messenger of choice, and ring ring!

Funny how many of the ads say "Call us for more information about our offerings!" instead of a "For more info: www....".
Your comment is about business use of computers, not households. I worked at a Fortune 200 company and from 1985-1989 much of my job was helping roll out desktop computers and networking (including email) throughout our fairly large geographical territory. By 1990 I'd estimate conservatively that well over half of our office workers had their own networked PC on their desk.

I remember buying an AST 386 for my use at home, I'm guessing it cost about $4K or more in today's dollars, so it is true that business-class PCs at home were probably relatively rare at that time.
I'd expect it to be even better improvement inside sort, but maybe my hunch is wrong. The significance is greater there, at least.
Absolutely! This works even better when doing the self-review with the same tool (typically, GitHub review system) as the one a real reviewer would use. Just looking at one's code in a different environment (different font, colors, etc.) helps switching from a "programmer's mind" to a "reviewer's mind".
>> There’s even a category of tinnitus for sounds within the ear that can be objectively heard by someone other than the sufferer - This is known as “objective tinnitus”.

This doesn't make sense. If it can be heard by someone else, its by definition an aural stimulus event and not tinnitis.
Women showing their kids new tech, truly disgusting.

I was actually surprised there were only two photos of "pinup" type girls... and then shortly later, a photo of a naked dude! And then a businesswoman "walking into the light" carrying a PC! I guess I was expecting much worse.
Sure, I can share - and needless to say, the vast majority of the problem is on my side. My wife is indeed a great woman - very emotionally focussed though, in quite an intense way, and highly intelligent in an intuitive way. She's honest and loyal though, and good looking. A real catch, in other words. The problem that I bring, is that I don't really have a core personality (at least, not one that anyone sees - I have my own inner thoughts but they can be rather dark, and need extensive filtering before being presented to the world at large). So I run "sub programs" to talk to other people on a level that is suitable to get along with them. I think everyone does this to an extent - I certainly do anyway, I always have.

So the problem comes, because my wife is an exceptional empath, with what seems to me like almost supernatural intuition. And she sees through my little constructs in a second, and demands they be pushed aside, in order to get to know the "real me" beneath. Trouble is there is no "real me", apart from the rather dark, turbulent thoughts that churn the waters of my inner life. Therein lies the problem, a perpetual game of hide and seek, and I find it rather wearing. (Largely my own problem though, as I said).

Apologies if the above sounds a bit weird, or off-putting or whatever. Anyway - you did ask! :-)

Actually, Putin does believe it. He's stated many times, as have his subordinates, that his goal is the absorption of "Little Russia" and the rebirth of the Russian empire to stand at her rightful place as a primary power in the world (and as payback for the many humiliations she has suffered at the hands of the West).

You can see it in how quickly Russia installs collaborators in Ukrainian regions who suddenly declare that they wish to be annexed by Russia.

These kinds of idealistic psychopathic people do exist, and they are incredibly dangerous if they get into positions of power.
Tell that to all the Berkeley CS BAs.
> All worker cooperatives have two common characteristics: 1) member-owners invest in and own the business together, and share the enterprise’s profits, and 2) decision-making is democratic, with each member having one vote.

I think you’d have to find examples of companies that only do #1 or only do #2 and look at their outcomes versus companies that do both.

My guess is the root cause of what you’ve observed is the distributed decision making and the attendant latency and diffusion of responsibility it brings.
I'm sure it has something to do with their liability. With no warning, shops would be incentivized to use cheap knock-off batteries. (Which could perform worse, explode, etc. and damage their brand)
It's boring because it's become a rote task. You still have to slog through learning some new stuff and solving the problems at hand, but it's not like some huge path of discovery. And you know what the end result is gonna look like.

Guess you gotta think of those metalsmith workers from a couple hundred years ago. Very technically skilled, but sometimes they probably produced the same pieces hundreds of times. Just to live a good life.
I had never heard of visual snow, it's interesting that the symptoms seem to primarily be the brain not rejecting normal noise sources like floaters and white blood cells.
Yes. So you live in the middle of the country. Some goods come from East, some West, some South, other from the North. It’s good that the infrastructure exists everywhere, no?
No they can't just buy a fair phone. I want one and they are not allowed in my country.
Totally fair. As a parent, no one told me what the experience was going to be like. An older friend (with college age children) said, “if we told you what it was like, you never would’ve had them.” It’s expensive. It’s suffering. It is never ending, and there is no guarantee your children will care about you when they become adults and are autonomous. You’ve taken on a decades long job you’re paying for.

Consider my comments as attempts to inform before permanent life decisions are made, because for many, no one is being real about what the experience is going to be like.
Hey, Lee from Vercel. How many pages were you trying to build when you hit the 45 minute limit? We’ve recently revamped our build and deploy infrastructure, which should help builds complete faster with many static pages.

This is a bit like saying civil engineers designing freeway interchanges should know about induced demand.
Imagine never having sweets in your life, then the first time you having a peppermint your life would be changed.

Now imagine a long life where you had all the sweets you could ever eat available all the time. Your attitude to them is going to be far different.

In addition, back in the 90s computers were going to attract 'computer people' and the rest would ignore them. Now they are just a fact of life, even for the disinterested.
If modern cars and modernised networks implemented V2G (Vehicle To Grid) this would be a much easier issue to solve.

Car owners would be incentivised to sell the electricity in their vehicles' batteries back into the grid.

Similarly, the grid could disincentive charging - either through surge pricing or flat-out refusing to supply electricity to high-power circuits.
My original comment was advocating we not create companion AIs and try to substitute real companionship with robots, and I was in fact trying to promote the creation of real communities.
Even with performance car enthusiast models, like say the BMW M4, the take rate for the manual is super low.

This article ... https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2015/07/save-manuals-give-... ... is from 2015, but says that the M4 couple was 83:17 in favor of the automatic gearbox; and I doubt things have gotten better since then.

Automatic gearboxes (whether torque converters, CVT or dual-clutch) have just gotten much better to the point where they're better for both performance and fuel economy.

Manual transmissions are much, much harder to integrate with any kind of hybrid system, stop-start system, power-off coasting etc. which help with fuel economy too.
One NYT subscription is not sufficient. There's no way I'm sticking to a single news source, and I'd bet a lot of other people feel the same way.
I don't think there is an alternative to free markets, but I do believe that we can use the power of government to set price floors. For example let's say the government provides free housing for all citizens regardless of means testing. It doesn't have to be great housing, but it establishes a price floor that all landlords have to compete with by offering better housing or lowering their rents. No fear of homelessness, starvation, or death by uninsured illness also establishes a labor floor. People can take more time for a job search, or quit jobs that are exploitative/pay poorly. The government doesn't have to mandate a minimum wage, since jobs now must offer something more than a day-to-day subsistence. With advances in productivity we are more than capable of doing this but we allocate capital to other things in pursuit of profit. Think of how much capital was poured into web3 speculation that could have been used to actually establish a price floor for housing or a wage floor for labor.
Interactive theorem proving is not an experiment on nature because the theorem priver is itself a mathematical construct.
In 1990, it would have been somewhat rare for a college student to own a computer, but there were computer labs everywhere on campus and you had an email address, so it was clear they a part of modern life. They were priced in the 'used car' range so it wasn't impossible to own one.

(edit this was for a 'real' PC compatible or Mac, you could probably find C64s and etc at the flea market.)
Your broader point about OTA is certainly debatable, but off-peak charging can be incentivized (as opposed to mandated) very economically.
Modern software benefits from increased computational power because it allows new features and speeding up older ones. Sure, “office” apps don’t benefit much, but you’re ignoring many fields where they do benefit.

For example, the field of 3D graphics. Games and animated movies have become a lot more realistic and feature filled thanks to more powerful graphics cards. In fact, Disney specifically puts a lot of effort into making hair realistic. That was impractical a decade ago, and impossible a decade prior.
Adoption, surrogacy, people who give birth but don’t identify as moms, etc
Lonestar and what army? Seriously whoever occupies the moon first is likely to control it and space. If we can survive the climate disasters happening now.
My first "real" job was working at Arthur Anderson, where due to my geeky love of computers I was able to quickly move from the mail room to Data Processing.

1-2-3 was like crack for accountants (it was first released right around that time). One of my tasks was making "backup copies" for users. Probably had 1 legit copy for every 20 staffers so this was quite a sum of money they "saved".

After getting sued for millions for copyright infringement they realized it was cheaper to buy a real copy for every user.
It's funny that every single headline out there today uses the word "finally".
Buying/selling artificially inflated art to conceal where the money came from indeed
>It then mentions that the referendum was held at gunpoint, which I am not sure what it is supposed to mean, could they not vote whatever they wanted in it?

Yes, this usually means exactly that. For example, that Crimean Tartar community members were kidnapped, arrested, disappeared, deported or killed before, during and after the referendum. It also means that vote counting was rigged, ballot stuffing was prevalent, people were coerced into voting, and that the very question posed in the referendum was completely biased.

> Here they try to imply that the objective is to kill every Ukrainian while not explicitly mentioning it, while it seems that the goal is to instead eliminate the idea of Ukrainian separatism. (kinda like Spain and Catalonia)

Your statement seems to imply that Ukraine is not a sovereign country, otherwise it pains me to understand how it could be 'separatist'. Care to elaborate?

Russia's official statements regarding Ukrainian sovereignty, nationhood, and nationality do speak of 'elimination'. Russian actions in occupied territories of Ukraine indicate that this is, indeed, one of their war aims. Since the elimination of a nationality and its culture is what's known as committing a genocide, I have to ask: are you saying that Spain is committing a genocide in Catalonia?
We are afraid of heterosexual family units and the female body now.
This looks almost exactly like the ProBook 440/640/645 G8. It looks like an old design with new hardware, rebranded for developers. Curious to see what the build looks like.
Ggplot is extremely powerful if you can grok its grammar, which takes some getting used to. But I'd assume that if you see a graph in a scientific paper it's made with ggplot.

Having many data points you want to explore you are always going to be at the edges of what your hardware and software can produce.

The last really big datasets I worked with were for my thesis and I had to do subsampling to below 10% to get results within 10minutes or so and that was basically plotting midi recordings of piano performances, so nothing gigantic
Even though this might add more negativity, when it comes to commercial or at least closed source software, I can attest that "China is worse". I don't think that transfers over to their open source community though. For one thing, one of the reasons it exists is because those people are fed up with the practices of the commercial players in China. Plus, even though there is the language barrier, they are still exposed to the Western open source community, so at least some of our views and practices might have made it over.

I think the "trample the users gdm config" issue for example might be a small influence from the Chinese proprietary software world. A quick and dirty fix. At least there was some message in this case. Usually, proprietary Chinese software doesn't even ask. There was some wild stuff going on in the XP days.
