I did this in a homebrew Atari 2600 game. For a Space Invaders grid of sprites. Each is triggered by writing to a register, as the electron beam scans through to display each sprite.

The interval between sprites on the same scanline is 3 cpu cycles. That's a single 6502 instruction, the write to that register. How do you do any kind of load or compare instruction along with that to decide whether to display that sprite?

The answer was to copy that stream of instructions to RAM ahead of time, and replace each write to a missing invader with a no-op. The code is here if anyone wants to see (the "inv3" demo): http://dos486.com/atari/

The effects of IKEA must be very different depending on where in the world they were introduced, and when.

If your country (cough-cough USA) had already descended into the "crap products globalisation stage" before IKEA came along, it will feel like a net positive.

If your country (cough-cough Sweden) got IKEA before that stage, I would say, yes, IKEA displaced quality furniture.

I'd say the overall problem is un-accounted for externalities. Cheap crap from China or Vietnam is just a symptom of the same illness.

Crappy products are okay, in a free market economy. But crappy products with huge environmental costs undercutting "kosher" crappy products, is not okay.

What use are even labour and environmental laws if one can skirt them by pushing the problem elsewhere?

Besides shipping vulns, what category is Electron beating the rest in? Genuinely curious.
I didn't get that fancy. I got as far as a horizontal smooth scroller, but with the "move the screen memory during one 1/60 second redraw cycle" mentality - racing the redraw, and when it was just about caught up, whoa, time for the static bar at the bottom.

Quite right, one could prepare the moved version in the background during the 7 steps where you're merely diddling the smooth scroll register, and then flip to it in an instant. But wait, was it possible to page flip the colour map? Also, always having the appropriate moved version ready even as the player is doing unpredictable things goes into the "heroic programming techniques" zone again.

As for glitches, it's amazing what can be done if perfection is sacrificed and there were plenty of good games that did have them, e.g. sprite multiplexing. But I did mean "effortless looking perfect" smooth scrolling.
In a world where submodules worked (side note: We use PlasticSCM which has xlinks [0] which are substantially better than submodules, but Plastic itself has it's own set of problems), you could have each "subrepo" as an independent repo, and then have a monorepo comprised entirely of submodules.

If submodules worked.

Hey, it’s easy to go around saying that bitcoin is a pointless scam and based on nothing and people deserve to lose all the money they’ve been scammed into putting into it since they’ve been warned about that since the beginning.

I've had so many clients insist that Google Analytics is absolutely necessary for their site or app since they need the to know as much as possible about who is visiting.

In most cases these same clients never even look at the analytics as the dashboard is too confusing and generating reports too cumbersome.
I've been keeping an eye on the for a while. I like the sound of it a lot. I still have no idea how to use it though, from what I can tell I would need to learn c++, write a program in that and embed sciter in it for the UI component.

And yes, it was in response to COVID restrictions. Most red states have passed laws limiting the power of state and local health authorities. I think the majority of them are just aimed at infectious disease prevention measures. I think the ones that also removed the ability to preemptively close a restaurant until it fixes a major health code violation that hasn't yet hospitalized anyone did so due to hasty and sloppy drafting rather than intent.

Are investors really offering anything more than money, and, occasionally, experience?
Well, technically that is what the various ancient greats tried to achieve: that graverobbers would be so terrified they'd skip that grave and the ones that persisted ended up being given the Indiana Jones treatment. Not that it mattered, eventually you run out of traps and there are always more grave robbers. So in the long run it all gets found and that's before nature has its way with the environment where your gravesite is located.

Personally, I'll go for cremation, the idea to continue to occupy a plot of land after I'm dead sounds pretty selfish.
> How come this is how it works and that there are barbers at all?

At a guess, I'd have thought it was at the behest of the incumbent barber community. If they can also control who gets to do the training eg if the practical aspects have to occur in Rhode Island barber shops, then they have a de facto closed shop. Always handy for a business to be able to prevent competition.
So in the UK, if they find a "Viking" burial site they have to consult with whom? Sweden or Denmark? And Roman, Rome does not exist, but I guess Italy is arguably the closest political entity, do they consult with Italy?

It seems they should just have some standard way to deal with this.
A programming language is defined by its attributes. Some measure speed, beauty, library reach but most modern language need productivity as a key attribute. There C# has its strength. And productivity includes debuggers, intellisense, etc. It requires a non traditional compiler etc. There is a powerful video of Anders Hejlsberg explaining this. And that guy knows about it.
It feels like they have no actual direction but they think if they just hire enough smart people (and prevent those smart people from working at competitors) they'll figure something out along the way. It's why they have a near constant stream of product/service failures (https://killedbygoogle.com/).
I made Accelerator Keys, a little Mac app that gives people Alt key shortcuts in Office software on Macs.

Most people have never encountered the problem, so it’s hard to talk about this in general company.

But it’s solving a pain point for a few hundred finance/consulting folks with Macs, or tech startups buying Macs for their finance/strategy teams.

Haven’t worked on this as much since kids came, but I’d love to figure out better ways to get this in front of people who need it.

I’ve worked with managers from big co’s as well as directly with many startup founders. Helping mainly B2B SaaS teams with Product Design [1]

This article is written from a corporate pov, judging founders and founding teams, which are fundamentally different animals, from the wrong angle.

The pattern I’ve seen all effective founders had in common from my experience were 2

1. Building something people want. Usually they started with something crappy, focussing on product market fit first. Almost always have paying customers.

Then

2. Tirelessly working 24/7 on product & telling more people about their product.

All the managerial things mentioned in the article are important at some point. But it’s not what will make or break a startup.

As someone who has recently bought into AMD from a long hiatus, I have to say they've come a long way since and I've been personally impressed with what I've experienced so far on the hardware side. That said, the reverse can be equally said on other matters pertaining to their business as well; more specifically their customer support pertaining to RMA's as of late. Mind you, this is all a personal anecdote so take with a grain of sand.
I am late to this game so I assume everyone else’s brain was melted by this in 2017:

Every Intel CPU since 2008 includes an autonomous computer called the Intel Management Engine that runs Minix, completely circumvents your own OS, has full access to memory, has network access, and cannot be turned off by the owner of the hardware (you).

We also don’t know what it does because it’s extremely difficult to reverse engineer due to obfuscation and because Minix 3 is published under a BSD license so Intel is not obligated to publish the source code.

I don't quite get the logistics. The photo in the article is of the kind of trays that substitute for a plate, with compartments for different foods. I haven't been to that kind of cafeteria in many years.

But the buffet restaurants I do visit serve on plates, and provide trays to carry the plates. If you have a main dish, a salad, a dessert and a drink, but no tray, that's multiple trips to the table.

So trays don't feel very optional to me. What am I missing? Are people not minding multiple trips, doing fancy balancing acts on the way back to the table, or combining everything on a plate?

I whole-heartedly agree with your points, but I have to acknowledge that their "How Animals Perceive the World" title pulled me into the article from a completely different perspective and I have been thinking about this world more from the point of view of other life forms - especially those whose perceptions we cannot experience (ultrasonic echo-location, "detect(ing) the currents produced by objects moving in the water with whiskerlike hairs", odorants and advanced olfactory senses, electric field guidance, and obviously all the discussed acoustic sensitivities). It really made me appreciate how all life forms are "equally" evolved to select for their own given niche and how all life forms are struggling to continue to evolve as those niches rapidly change. Including humans. Plus I learned a whole new understanding of the word 'Umwelt'!
> The regulations serve to keep other businesses out, and we should try to help people that aren't as connected start businesses as well.

If we're talking about pure regulatory capture, fine. But the only concrete examples I ever hear about ones like "small businesses can't afford to pay for health insurance" w/r/t the ACA.

To put my cards on the table, though, I'm not pro-regulation for regulation's sake. I'm more of a "skip the middlemen and just do it through the State, and no one needs to 'regulate' anyone - I can just regulate them myself w/ my vote (and my dollar, if it's a state-owned-enterprise)" guy. But if my quality of life is 100% controlled by disconnected, self-interested private owners who don't care what I have to say, I need the government to come in and at least give me a freedom or two to leverage against them...please.
How Binary JSON Works in YDB
So what's "Quick" about it? Would having a slower JS engine be outweighed by some other savings? Honestly, the biggest one is memory... Electron is the biggest memory hog I've ever seen, ONE application slows my 16GB macbook to a crawl and it starts swapping to HD. How to stop that?
Can you expand further on why you think these are contradictions?

In my book, you can actively have both. Protecting from distractions often means helping the team feel like they can say no to anything that isn't the most critical work. Inviting disagreement simply means that you tell your team you want dissenting opinions.

For example, if you feel like the team is working on a few unnecessary projects, you can help them say "no" (protect from distractions). However, you shouldn't just do it blinding. That project may actually be valuable, but not in the way you anticipated on the surface.
And it mysteriously dropped off the front page pretty quickly; tauri's 1.0 was just released which should make the post more attention-worthy in my mind.
Deps are a transitive tree. The number of deps for enduser code for a framework like this will always be high. That is kinda the point. A small amount of end user code uses the work of thousands.

I assume normal and fallible humans are the ones who are going to setup this new system that will prevent abuse?
I'm in no way a fan of Electron and much rather use Tauri. But if you want something proven, wildly deployed and with the biggest community/potential support, then probably Electron is the best currently, just because of how old it is.
More than a few hours seems pretty extreme.
Well, I've spoken about this before, and on here no less, but only really in response to posts like this. I don't do any advertising or speak about mine except in interviews, since it's usually indicative of the kind of requirements they're looking for.

I created a SaaS bootstrap for Javascript called Nodewood [1]. It actually started as just a template for me, because there's a lot of setup for each new JS web project that I kept skipping to get to the "fun" stuff, like I'd just hard-coded the user as ID #1 instead of writing user registration/login code. Since then, it's grown to also have form validation, a starter UI, teams support, subscription support with Stripe, an admin panel, a CLI tool, and I'm currently adding a deploy option via Pulumi [2].

I've sold a few licenses, but also it offers me a platform to "scratch my own itches", which then become available to the people who bought a license.

I prefer it. I will go out of my way to go to a store with self checkout vs one without. Probably due to anxiety/autism, but being able to remove the human element makes things much easier for me.
> I wonder if the Linux kernel will take cues from these developments and start shoving auxiliary device drivers into userspace?

So far, you can write drivers for USB devices (https://libusb.info/), simple I/O devices (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.14/driver-api/uio-howto.h...), and filesystems (FUSE) in userspace. There are probably more, but those are the ones I know about off the top of my head.
This is a known downside: rust forces you to write correct code, and will refuse to compile until you prove to it that you don’t have data races, all errors are handled, etc.
If it’s a one time script, I still whip out the trusty Perl one-liner, because correctness doesn’t matter.

I would argue, however, that the vast majority of software would benefit from the rust compiler. The type system is very powerful and modelling your problem in it lets you think about the problem explicitly and guarantees safety around its usage. You can refactor without worrying about the entire codebase breaking, and the doc and testing system is some of the best I’ve seen.

Rust lends itself naturally to writing large maintainable codebases, and I think that this is a much more important aspect that how quickly can you get the initial build out the door. Reliability is not just for the kernel and rendering engine.
If there’s a good wat to measute this, I would love to give it a try.
Electron is irreplaceable if

- you want to cut the dev cost on support all platform - maybe MOST important

- you want Browser like feature - embed webview not iframe

- you want to make sure the feature is there, if you can not polyfill

Memory is cheap, download size is cheap.
Those go to /dev/null like all major tech company regular customer support channels.
I don't know -- there's pretty lax zoning in Ohio. You can drive for hours and be constantly surrounded by strip malls. It's pretty much a hellhole.

In other words: There's a reason for zoning.

The U.S. is actually pretty lax, on average, in terms of zoning compared to some other parts of the world, though it is certainly a state-by-state thing.

It's really not fair to lump zoning in with things like civil forfeiture.

IMO "scalping" is OK and is just selling for what the market will bear. There is demand for something with limited supply (aka scarcity) so prices will go up. I also don't buy that it is unfair to the artist because if their tickets are being "scalped" they could just as easily add more dates to each venue to provide more supply to the market. Some artists do this but many just want to breeze through town in one show.
Unfortunately doesn't answer the question in the title. I hope Part 2 does, this is interesting.

Got a few hundreds euros by building a poker helping app using neural networks. Since I love poker and I wanted to sharpen my skills in ML.

It involved me working all weekends and 4 to five hours after work, and also spending nights playing poker in Poker Stars.

Basically, if I wouldn't have built the app and just played poker without using the app suggestions I would have made more money.

I am still convinced that given some hundred man year of work and a lot of money to buy GPUs, I can make some millions with it. Not sure those millions would be worth. :)
Do you have a Blu-ray mastering and pressing operation? In that case, not that much.

Do you just have a Blu-Ray optical burner? Burned discs are typically simple to distinguish from pressed discs, so you can't make an exact copy.

Some early CD systems were made before CD-Rs were common (or maybe even contemplated) and didn't have mechanisms to check media type, but modern consoles know about these things.
