Ya now I have the money to buy whatever batteries I need (thank you Amazon Basics) but as a kid we definitely didn't have the money to afford batteries. We didn't even buy paper towels, just used tea towels (as we called them). This also created an aversion to over using paper towels in my adult years. This isn't meant as some "whoa is me", but just a comment on how pricing and costs growing up can affect you for a very long time.

However, it should be noted that this does not mean that more startups became unicorns in Europe than in the US (there were 340 new unicorns in the US last year), but that the US growth rate was 124% from 2020 versus the EU growth rate of 400%, i.e. 17 new ones in 2020 and 85 in 2021. "

Not that much training. You could teach people the basics and the why/why not in a lot less time.
Sure. It'd drastically complicate the build process and CI for little benefit compared to other approaches (e.g. sparse checkout), but you could even in principle create a repo for each code directory and stitch them all together.

From what I’ve seen and experienced myself, there’s a definite learning curve to making videos.

In the beginning I remember it being maddeningly hard to even get 10 seconds out without messing it up. But then also, there’s a technique and a skill to getting the cuts to sound natural.

I’ve seen plenty of YouTubers who cut after every sentence and make it sound & look natural, but plenty more who cut the same amount and it looks jarring. Keeping your head in the same spot helps. Trying to speak one full thought at a time helps too.

The worst is when you get on a roll, get 30 seconds into your roll, and then completely lose it and can’t remember where to “roll back” to.

>Is anyone else really annoyed by the constant cuts in videos these days? [...], so I could imagine there are a lot of "re-takes" + cutting out of "umms"

I agree it's jarring but I understand why it often happens: it's easier and faster to fix a vocal mistake by backing up just a sentence or two and then re-record from there. So it's not always just removing the pauses; he/she actually fixed a speech mistake in that sentence and had to splice it in.

The alternative to avoid jarring cuts is to record longer takes of reading paragraph-length word counts without a mistake. This is much more difficult and time-consuming. So if you're trying to speak 10 good sentences and you flub sentence #10, you have to start all over at sentence #1 to maintain one continuous take. Otherwise, you'd have a jarring cut between sentence #9 and #10. E.g. you can see the bloopers outtakes at the end of each Technology Connections video to see that even reading from a script without mistakes is not easy.
I use this a lot in my scripts - handy when you want to capture the output or execute a command in a different directory.
I am sympathetic to your point, but think that ship has sailed. It might come back, but not in the same form.

I say that as a sample of the population who deeply wants the bland, blank slate aesthetic in reaction to the rococo and non-modular furniture I had to deal with in other people’s home and surroundings.

Paradoxally, I am sure it will come back as a reaction to people like me, and next gnerations might want to get back to their roots and resurface diverse and culturally more anchored styles. When it does, I hope they’ll have small production tools (home grade cnc mills ?) to do so in small batches at low cost, and get crazy with the stuff they make.

The real negative I've seen is the culture. Backing up your brother is more important than doing what is right. Racist or dehumanizing banter can be rampant in some departments too.

> You have a design preference that more than one fullscreen video should not be permitted.

I think this is where you and I are talking past each other. I'm not saying that multiple videos shouldn't be allowed. That's not the problem here.

The problem is that Safari has a mechanism to ensure that the user wants a video to play. That mechanism looks for some UI action on the user's part before it will allow a site to launch the video player. With this new multiple-video feature, that mechanism is now broken. It'll say, "Hey you want to play this video? Yeah, ok, I will allow it, and any other video the site wants to spam you with now."

That italicized part is the bug. It shouldn't assume the UI action applies to an arbitrary number of separate videos.

The video player is fine. That's the design choice. The Safari code not accounting for that is the bug.
But that's the UK. We're not happy in the US until we've made everything in education into an assembly line.

Sure, and I used it back then. There were kind of no other realistic options with momentum behind them. But also we just accepted that it was a bit cowboy and that was part of the fun. I guess it could have been FreeBSD or even Minix that got the momentum maybe, but Linux caught on with enthusiasts, it made the right compromises and then big names like IBM put weight behind it.
Though I think the UK has slightly different rules on who owns antiquities (and of course they differ between the constituent countries of the UK).

In England, only certain items (essentially those which have a significant precious metal content, plus prehistoric metal items) are classified as Treasure and belong to the Crown. Other antiquities are by default the property of the landowner to dispose of as they see fit, though metal detectorists and others searching for antiquities usually have an agreement with the landowner about sharing the finds or the proceeds of sale.

For instance, the Crosby Garrett Helmet [0] was sold at auction to a private buyer based in the UK for over £2M, which was split between the finder and the landowner.

Scotland has a broader definition of treasure that would almost certainly have included the helmet.

Another way to phrase the reply you have already had: because these assets are martingale.

In other words, to the extent good historic performance says anything about future performance, that effect is already priced in. This means you shouldn't hold on to a historically good investment just for that reason -- it's just as likely to be a loser going forward.

If you determined that the amount of risk you're willing to put into equity is 60 %, the only thing that happens if you let it drift up to 70 % is that you increase your exposure to equity higher than you originally intended.

Maybe you have good reason to do that, but historic good performance is not that reason.
Please, no need to apologise! Your criticisms were all entirely well founded and the pain points you mentioned very real. I thought you expressed them considerately (I have seen plenty of vents that did not). I may reflexively defend Cassandra, but healthy and honest discussions around these things is great IMO.

> It did feel from many of those issues like it was a victim of its own complexity

I think there’s some truth in this, but I think the bigger problem was failing to give this complexity its proper respect (which would have been very costly and slowed feature development - perhaps consigning Cassandra to an also-ran position like others in the space, who knows?)
The other huge hidden danger is the Bobs of the world can generalize, intentionally or accidentally, a situation and make it seem that anyone can be an Alice; but it may be (and Alice may openly admit if you ask) that there's only room for one Alice, and her mechanism simply will not work for anyone else.

The biggest example of this is in things that involve large amounts of luck (or are even totally luck-driven); think gambling or stock market picks or startups - the "winners" have a hard time distinguishing what they did from the luck involved, and often give too little to luck.

If the Bobs are not drawing out the luck side of things but instead amplifying the apparent skills, it can be a huge disservice, but, hey, it's usually more popular than saying "it's luck".

Kind of off topic for 6502 memory copy speeds but with regard to scrolling, there became a pretty cool software hack for the C64 (called VSP) where you could trick the poor VIC chip into starting scanning out the screen position later in memory. Move the start one character and the whole screen shifts left by 8 pixels. You only need to repaint a vertical column for this 'course' scroll instead of moving the entire screen of characters. This is something that should have been built into the hardware and was very useful on other systems that had that ability (like the NES for example)

With it you can reduce the amount of memory you need to copy every 8 pixels (the 8 pixel part can be done with smooth scroll registers).

There's a thread and example code on github here.
https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=70539

Also note it's such a terrible hack on the DRAM that it doesn't work on all C64s and there's a technical discussion about that here.
