I recently suggested to one of my consultancy customers (valued at $500mil) that they should hire Kotlin and Swift developers to improve the quality of their React Native app.

The response I got is: "nope, we're fine employing one mid-level React dev to maintain our app in both platforms."

They don't consider mobile apps being essential for their fintech business in 2022. I'm speechless but this serves as a hint as to why we don't see more Kotlin and Swift jobs: companies are cutting corners with React.
The energy saving config is a good reference, it made me think about your post more seriously. I think the answer here is just because a slope can be slippery doesn’t mean it’s not important to get on it. Selling a device that allows a car to be “100s if times” more polluting is not the same as turning off energy savings (which you can already usually do as part of the OS).
Will anyone care about any kind of CG art ? Depressing.
The ACLU dislikes any restriction based on national security. I imagine they’d make the same arguments regardless of which party removed TikTok.

But the broader public, reporters, and experts
absolutely base their decisions on how trustworthy they find rationales. National security arguments often boil down to “we are correct but can’t tell you why, trust us.”

Mixing trade wars into that certainly helps skepticism.

The point is that they didn't cram. They were just talented in math or CS, or they were geeky enough to be well read and knew lots of techniques.
The Romans were also up against some adversaries who fought desperately to not be Roman. Somewhat off topic, but I’ll bring it up anyway, it must have been better to have lived in a Gallic or Germanic or Iberian tribe than to have lived as a Roman ~citizen~ person if they were willing to die than submit. I’m sure honor had something to do with it, but the general trend seen in the archaeological record in the Middle East and North America is that people got shorter and had more teeth problems as they settle down into civilization than when they were hunter/gatherers or lived in settled communities for no more than a few years before hitting the proverbial road again. I’m sure the same thing applies in Europe during the Roman age.
This is actually amazing:

Oh, the potential for easter eggs if you anticipated the use of a Game Genie by players, this was meta-gaming at its earliest in strictly offline mode. You could even hide codes in-story for later replays and whatnot. What's not to love about such a hacky mode of expression, a hacking-friendly barebones paradigm.
People didn't want to go to war like anyone else I suspect.

Although it could be a good choice for some Romans. My understanding was the legions were one of the few paths to "move up" the social order. The rewards / rights of a solider could be pretty big if you retired and odds were pretty good you would retire. As opposed to being poor and remaining poor ... maybe an appealing choice.
> So a lot of the good stuff that was/is being built this cycle, the stuff that's going to survive the bear market is critical infrastructure meant to support the future new startups in the blockchain space... the customer of crypto today, is crypto. Combined these capabilities will enable a very powerful platform which will eventually serve businesses and individuals. Today, it's not ready for your needs.

This is why Stripe, Moneygram, Checkout.com, etc are choosing the blockchain technologies that are useful to them, which tells us that some of them are going to survive past this bear market and make it past regulations. Not all of these crypto projects will survive either but a certain few will.

Again, like the free-software activists who have been disappointed with their mission in removing all non-free software which the web2 tech bros have hijacked the 'open-source' term as cover to suggest their so-called 'transparency' in closed-source surveillance capitalist companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc, we are now seeing them going to be very disappointed with the hope of absolute obliteration and complete removal of everything web3 and blockchain related.

I'm afraid that this 'destroying' or 'removal' of it all is not going to happen, just like it isn't going to take over the current system. Like closed-source software, crypto is here to stay and both web2 and web3 people are going to be very disappointed.

> There's a trust factor. For some reason, upper management doesn't necessarily trust the judgement of their lower management, like like lower management rarely trusts the judgement of their engineers.

They should have their own judgement on the effectiveness of their direct reports. The problem is that they trust their own judgement while having poor judgement themselves. Trust could also be an issue but assessing effectiveness is something gained over time, not self-declared.

I tried Natto and really really wanted to get to eat it every day. However, one portion gave me huge long lasting headaches. The flavour was good, and I am used to eat ferments (I make my own vegan yoghurt). I was really sad because Natto is supposed to have so many great properties.
Interesting.

I personally just remember the cutoff point (7/8), and before that odd months have 31, after it even months have 31 days. It eventually became "muscle" memory.
Depends on what you do. As long as you don't plan on visiting China, them knowing your sexual orientation, whether you do drugs is or where you were is pretty irrelevant, while it might be quite interesting for you government (and therefore Google, if you're in the US).
Yes, this is a valid point - Tesla has recalls, but I have no idea how their per vehicle rate compares with IC cars - and they perform over the air software updates that in IC cars might need a dealer trip. When all cars have similar degrees of software dependency they will probably act similarly.
I wonder if greater software use will reduce recalls?
The fact remains that a large structure will be needed for recall maintenance. Logically recall specialists will emerge with the ability to recall any makers cars for a fee in the same shop as dealers become more and more marginalised with time?
If u have a FFL it's not a "loophole" bc then the 4473 is still mandatory.
You are right! It works exactly like JavaScript where an array is just an object with sequential numerical keys (though there are nuances in Lua there when it comes to having "holes" in your table).

As for 1-based indexing, you could say it's for historical reasons but essentially it was to make Lua more friendly as a beginner-friendly scripting language. Whether or not that makes any sense is up to you :) My source is this talk by the creator of the language [1]. Sorry I don't have a timestamp handy.

> The societal structures that have worked in the past

I think you are vastly over-estimating these "societal structures". You don't clearly define them but based on conservative ideology they represent a temporary family and economic structure that really only existed in some parts of the USA and only for the recent past. "Marriage" in the pre-1900s outside the educated rich class that got written about was more or less "start living together". No licenses or ceremonies. Family structures got strange. People left their spouse and children by moving west or across the pond.

The supposed problems can be easily solved with money. Free childcare (including funding for better worker pay, better facilities, training more caregivers, etc). Universal healthcare. Universal after school care. 18 year tax credits for having kids. Free training on parenting techniques and discipline. Mail every new parent a "baby box" with useful things. Mandate lactation rooms. Mandate parental leave. Mandate emergency paid leave (eg kid got sick so stayed home).

Conservative ideology as practiced in the USA is more about the super rich not wanting to pay taxes or be told what to do (eg environmental or safety regulations) so by definition it is not an ideology capable of solving many problems. Everything else is a smoke screen to corral the rabble ("liberal" ideology has shibboleths used for similar purposes). The best modern US conservatives can do is eventually ban all family planning to attempt to force as many kids to be born to unhappy poor people as possible because that's "free" (though look for anything early childhood or child education related to see severe funding cuts if they're successful).

Reminder that I'm saying this is what the super rich funding conservative movements want, not what actual conservatives want. If you pill supposed liberal and conservative voters they're much more closely aligned on policies and desired outcomes than the news would have you believe. But implementing any of those things needs money and regulations so it's out of the question.
They're referring to the semantic term. Also 'shell shock' is a more common term for WW1's version.
An Oral History of ‘Contact’
I'm not sure if this applies to the playstation, but I remember the nintendo 64 gameshark I had had some "code finding" features that involved using a button on the cartridge to filter down to memory addresses that had changed a certain way since the last button press. This meant that if you were looking for say, the address where your character's health was stored, you could press the button, get hit in the game, press the button again, and search for values in memory that had decreased since the last button press. Doing this several times was a fairly reliable way of finding things. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details but that was the general idea.

Most modern emulators have similar but much more fleshed out features. They're nice not only for finding cheat codes but for reverse engineering games for the purposes of making romhacks or tool assisted speedruns and things like that.
Actually it’s 35mph. And we have never had a set of regulations strictly for “city cars “, an impulse I certainly appreciate but which in practice would be difficult to manage, I think.

He lived pretty long as a chemist of that era. People in the older days tended to work with stuff like Benzene as if it were water in labs.

The efficiency of well-trained armies such as the imperial legions at their peak just defies belief. At the battle of Watling Street in Britain, two Roman legions (~10,000 soldiers, including auxiliaries) faced off against an estimated 230,000 tribal warriors. They came out victorious, with minuscule losses (~400) compared to an estimated 80,000 Britons (not all warriors) who left their lives in the battle. The odds were so heavily stacked against the Romans prior to the battle that the commander of the Legio II Augusta had refused an order to join the outnumbered troops (and committed suicide after hearing the outcome).

there is no mechanism for the council to remove the commission president

the parliament can, but only by dismissing the entire commission (making it politically very difficult)

this also requires a 66.6% majority

vs the 50%+1 that was needed to appoint, so it's all but impossible (by design, again)

You make some great points. The arbitrary entitlement is an important and vital step in the growth of an organization. Not every basketball fan should play or work for a NBA team. There has to be some sort of gatekeeping otherwise a bad hire or misplaced promotion could become a cancer that kills from within.

I can't see why you don't buy it. I have seen this kinda thing happening dozens of times in my career. Both in startups (especially in startups!) but also very frequently even in enterprise.

One developer makes a system in N months, a team of people is hired to rewrite it, it takes 2x or 3x the amount of time. A tale as old as time.

It is kinda obvious from the get go that it would take more time. With 19 developers there is a much larger organisation and communication overhead. If there's more managers, then means A LOT of bikshedding. In enterprise, there's probably someone responsible for the architecture, there will most certainly involve architecture astronautics "to help developers move faster", which will invariably make them slower.

At minimun, Microsoft could try for real. In 2019 Samsung announced the Galaxy Book S with an ARM processor. Looked like a nice compact laptop. I would have been interested in it, but it was basically never available and limited to Windows for ARM. Which isn't even officially sold by Microsoft, you can run it fine on the new Macs in a VM, but only as a part of the beta test access.
Even if Microsoft cannot force the whole market to ARM - and might not even desire to do so - at least they could treat Windows 11 for ARM as a full product.

A nit: introduction seems to say that the required words or phrases will still be available during the game, but I didn't see any highlighting and had to remember. (Firefox)

Generally, judging validity just by whether a few phrases were kept seems pretty loose. I know, it would take incredible AI and might be completely subjective to decide whether the meaning is still there. But I didn't like that it seemed I could completely mangle the text and it would say great job as long as it was short and still had those phrases.

If the company does not want to fix it, the people using the products deserve to know that and make their decision (dump the product, live with the risk, etc.). Or the company fixes it, and people are happy.
