You bury the lede - those 2019 computers are on a different processor architecture.

As long as they keep security updates for Intel for a few years, I'm not terribly disturbed.
> they do not target the same problems and they aren't competing languages.

Is this really true? All the problems that are solvable in Go should be solvable in Rust too right (but not vice versa because Go is GCed)? They might not compete on every front but there definitely should be overlap in the use cases.
Yes diskless.

I taught my 10 year old son how to use this because he wanted more than iMovie.

He loves learning how to use effects and titles, creating lots of cuts, and intercutting between different tracks. He even did some lightweight animation using it.

It's the most similar to the old-school feel of Premiere and Final Cut, and has given him a great foundation in non-linear editing and 2 years later he absolutely flies in it!
This article is sort of frustrating, because the issue they have isn't like something not working, just that there are multiple competing options and they want unity around all things.

It also costs $2000USD per capita vs the US $12000 per capita. Fund it 6X and see what happens. Heck, fund it 2X and see what happens.
A lot of that reduction in population was from diseases that weren't in the new world before invasion by Europeans. Not many diseases went the other way, I think syphilis is the only major one I've head of that went from the Americas to Europe. Separate from that the Euros were sure following the path of murdering, genocide, and even after the wars were over the US was sending kids to schools to destroy their knowledge about their own cultures. More recently we started learning about the large graveyards at those schools, and the same thing was happening in Canada.
You're thinking of the ".word.word.word" convention for newsgroup names. The last word would be repeated three times. The prototype for this was "alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork," though "alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die" (and the related "alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die") came soon thereafter.

The name of the group you're thinking of was probably something like "alt.dinosaurs.barney.die.die.die."

I'm really excited to see folks starting to talk about parallelizing machine learning. The conversation has been dominated by GPU-friendly techniques - a classic example of "everything looks like a nail when you have a hammer".

The federal money printer is backed by the strength of the national economy. How would the money printer backed by the states ranked at the bottom in GDP per capita, lifespan, education etc. fare? I can't imagine that going well.
It is not that developers arent curious. They probably are in their cages set by bad project managers who dont even play own game and dont notice it takes forever to load.

The project managers could put load times as a priority but they genuinely dont see it as a problem or dont care at all.
It happens all the time. There is a lot of unoptimized software.

Perhaps the issue comes from the top: the project managers are supposed to only do things that increase revenue and all other things are not rewarded at all? Perhaps executives only care if they hit quartely results? (Short term gain traded for long term loss - the game is made for whales who are so invested that they will play even when it is technically bad - so milk them now with new content for whales and ignore everththing else, who cares that new players will be discouraged by bad load times).

In my opinion if nobody plays own game / eats own dogfood, they dont even see its problems. Blizzard is at this stage now - some of their games barely work. You buy Starcraft 1 through the launcher... and it doesnt work(I think it works now, but it took them 1 month to notice it and another to fix it). Heroes of the storm - downloaded a 137mb patch every run - it took them half a year to notice it and do something with it. It is like nobody cares about the brand at all. Game company where your games dont work.

IMHO a problem with people - that comes from the top. They want only story points for things that bring money. The project managers either dont care, or cannot deal with other problems at all. I bet they dont care. This happens in many companies - there were few people who tried, they got burned for that: terminated or quit -> so now nobody cares. "The game is good enough to still sell some skins to the whales, so why bother".

Look at the results: they got an external comment what to fix. Did they launch their own internal project to optimize the game? Did they check for other things that make it load slow? It looka that someone else did a partial fix that is "good enough" so everything is back to usual and nobody cares about load times.
Disclaimer: It's been a while since I looked into this stuff so there are probably some inaccuracies below.

Have you ever used Opera back in the day? (mid 2000s, before Chrome came out.) AFAIK Vivaldi is made by the same guy who made Opera, being its spiritual successor. (Opera also had builtin email, note-taking etc.) IIRC opera itself was sold to a Chinese company and is now basically a Chrome reskin? (It used to have its own rendering engine, which was faster in some benchmarks.)

As for why Vivaldi is slow, the UI is done in JS (also possibly nodejs?) rather than C++ in the interest of development speed, but at the cost of performance and memory usage.

I did quit using it due the lag on my older machine though. Now that I've upgraded my hardware I might give it another spin!
Not all "government" is created equal. Federal spending is 30% of GDP. That is a lot for a bureaucracy that lives far removed from the concerns of the average citizen. Perhaps send most of these money back to state/city level?

I don't know that #2 is universally true. I am at a point in my career now where I will be able to comfortably retire without ever being promoted again (i.,e. CoL raises only). Judging by the salary ranges I see on offer for jobs for people with 5+ years of experience, this can't be that rare.

When I see a pain point that looks soluble, I take a crack at it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I get recognized for it, sometimes I don't. One, relatively minor (to me) thing, ended up being a big business win and my manager made sure I got a fat bonus for it. Other things have seemed more like a win for me that nobody but 2 of my peers ended up caring about.

#1 is true to the nth power though. I've seen places where if you do something even one millimeter outside of your silo, it will come up as a negative in your performance review. As in, if you write a 5 line perl script that makes you significantly more productive, do not share it as you will be asked time and time again why you wasted your time on something outside of your job description.

I think something missing for the context of TFA is that the gaming industry tends to be much more deadline focused than other industries. In theory you might be free to "make miscellaneous changes like this" but only if things aren't already behind schedule, and things are always behind schedule.

I think having too many options can be frustrating for many people, especially if they aren't experts in the options.
> because a defense contractor used [US customary] units

That is a common but very limited evaluation of what happened. The contractor ignored the specifications, no proper testing was done to make sure their component would do what it was supposed to before launch, and when someone noticed the issue in-flight they were ignored due to the bureaucratic process until it was too late. The exact same issue would have happened entirely in metric units if one side used CGS and the other used MKS.
This is a good example of why the federal government has lost trust. Perpetual money printing and MMT is not a big trust-builder.

This should be a strong counterargument, at least in Oregon, any time some schmuck says something dumb like "Ya don't get fired for choosing Oracle."

You have to separate diseases from other things. The mongols weren't responsible for the black death, plagues in Europe killed a lot of people.
It is interesting that personal costs was such huge part of the increase in construction. Construction seems like a field that automation has yet to really start to create waves, but I recall seeing news about small step forward like scaled up 3d printing with cement. Modular construction is an other concept I have not heard much for in the context of nuclear plants.

Those tanks and bombs and jets and nukes are kept in states though. A secessionist state with a federal arsenal could opt to hold onto it.

Someone posted this Steve Jobs response the other day that demonstrates this well. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeqPrUmVz-o) . Even in front of an audience that size, there is no rush to answer. He takes quite a while to consider a response first.

That said, he is still amazing at how he can have (apparently) a long narrative in mind as he starts to answer. I work with an architect who I can spring a complex question on, and he'll start answering with something like, "There are four things I would...", and I'm thinking "Damn! You already thought through the entire response in enough detail to count the bullet points!". I'm not sure if that is just "practice" or some people's minds just work differently.
The same benefit of any other mail client: you don't have to open a tab that connects to the internet to download and sync just enough data to show "that" there are updates, but not "what" those updates are until you click through to something that then needs to pull data to show those changes.

The real question is "why is this better than a standalone mail client" like Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or even the hot mess that is Outlook. To which the answer is "depending on how you do mail, it might not be better at all. But if you use Vivaldi already, or if you miss the days of Netscape Communicator 4.7, or you wish you had a mail client that got updated based on user feedback more than once every few years, then this might be something worth looking at for you.
No, I'm just saying if it's important, someone will want to preserve it, and it will survive. If nobody does, then it's not important.

That, and I don't understand the needless fascination with "crushing windows." That's a goal that seems completely misaligned with all the features that make the linux desktop something I want to use; and destroying competition has never been a great long term strategy.

That would be the case if i was resetting the counter at every read. Instead, it does not reset the counter, so it does not always start from 0. So the analogy would hold only for the very first number.

There’s an awful lot of cultural baggage in coding. Many of the concepts that seem essential - powerful text editors, devils tooling - can be completely removed. It requires rethinking from first principles and being willing to upset the Apple cart, but I believe it is possible.

You seem to be misunderstanding. "Built right into the browser" means that it is a feature of Vivalid, which is a browser, like Chrome. This is the opposite of a page. It's not through the browser, it's built into the browser.

> I don't see how this is any better than opening a browser tab with a mail client in it?

What mail client are you comparing this to? At least compared to most webmail clients I've used, these points from press release are obvious enhancements:

* Combine all your email accounts and manage them easily from a single client

* Indexed offline mail access

* Built-in feed reader

* Optionally offline calendar

I can't speak to the performance issues you've had since I haven't used Vivaldi. I find offline access and backups of e-mails important, personally.
Well not all for free. It depends. I can't detect it yet, but the "good" people first talk about payment before I even mention it.

Republican dislike of social programs (I mean their voters, not the politicians) is largely a marketing thing, not based on what the programs actually do.

You poll people on whether they support Social Program X, you get a very different result from if you describe a hypothetical program that just happens to do exactly what Social Program X does, and ask them if they would support that. For extra comedic value you can also ask if they'd like to replace Program They Hate with this new program that's identical.

A similar hating-the-label-not-the-thing effect is how you get nonsensical shit like people apparently thinking Medicare isn't "socialized medicine". If they like it, it must not be [Bad Thing].
That sounds like a brilliant idea. However, the tooling and staffing requirements of a Coal Plant arent going to suffice for a nuke.

The only dirty stupid person from Kentucky is Mitch.
> The change came from TV companies wanting their own streaming service too, basically bringing back the cable model to the internet.

With streaming, the middle man is cut out (versus cable) which makes a huge difference. Rather than buying a package of 100 channels from the cable company, I can instead subscribe to individual packages of content direct from much smaller packages of channels. Although I am paying more for the content I want, I save money because I'm not forced to subscribe to dozens of channels I will never watch.
> You cannot simply say "it should be different" and then pretend that reality is what you think it should be.

I was responding to a similar attitude. We can pretend caring about shit internet is important for software makers. Sometimes it is. Usually it isn't. Simply saying "it should be different" and then pretending that it is, is equally silly.

We are firmly in "wishing for a better world" territory. Others wish that other people cater to their shitty connections. I feel that that would anchor us to shitty connections, so I wish for fewer shitty connections.

It's all pipedreams anyway.
