YT couldn't care less if creators are unhappy with anything at the moment. There is no real competition, so creators have to just deal with it. I hope for a real competition, where there will be a mass exodus.
Bevy's ECS is incredibly ergonomic and makes writing ECS code fun. You give Bevy a function and it automagically turns it into a system by doing dependency injection. No need to write an impl for it, the system takes care of that for you. It makes prototyping very fun, as it's cheap to experiment with different system configurations.
That Nikom stopped development of DSLRs, and F-mount lenses, isn't a big surprise so. The D780, D850 and D6 are propably the last generation of Nikon DSLRs we see. Which is ok, times move on.

Good news so for people buying used, like myself!

Knowing who to trust is absolutely a major problem in financial networking, whether it's crypto, digital or physical.

FUD & FOMO are exactly derived from this problem.
Indeed, quantitative data without qualitative understanding is useless. You can't understand data without understanding mechanisms, because there's an infinite number of possible confounding factors that you can only dismiss through your qualitative understanding of the dynamic you are measuring.
Sorry for the late reply. And I have no idea what other lenses show this effect, but I wouldn't exclude that possibility. From what I gathered you will need a field curvature where towards the edges the focus runs away from the camera. It needs to be a somewhat faster lens, because stopped down the effect is less pronounced. And finally, it should be sharp enough to convey this "in focus" vs. "out of focus".

I didn't know about all this at the time I got the Leica, only that it had field curvature wide open, and learned these things through using it. But considering available pictures online, there are maybe ways to figure the field curvature out, because most test/review sites are rather useless in that regard:

https://www.dpreview.com/opinion/4042117089/roger-cicala-why...

and for some additional info on top of that

https://www.dpreview.com/articles/1351719699/roger-cicala-fi...

Once you have seen these "special" images and their look it also makes it easier skimming through images from other lenses if they show that here and there.

Roger also jokes about the 3D-pop at the end of the 2nd link, but considering that tilt-shift lenses can produce a miniature look by meddling with the "field curvature", getting specific other looks through usage of actual field curvature isn't too far fetched of a concept. It is some sort of an optical illusion in the end.
The toolchains support helps embedded developers, mainly. For example, Xtensa and AVR toolchains are generally byzantine monstrosities of makefiles, Python, dialog, etc; so having them be given a low effort means to consume rust is a boon. Ideally, rust is just another source file in the srcdir soup.

That said, gcc supports more platforms than llvm; including esoteric and unpopular desktop configurations.

Personally, I plan to drop this into marsdev as soon as it releases. Writing 32X games in rust sounds like silly fun.

Nice circular logic there
Norway's own politicians and people were the ones suggesting it. Not being Norwegian myself I'm relying on those in Norway to suggest these ideas. Both the FrP and Green Party have come up with plans to make it practical.

> send anyone who can't support themselves back to Norway

I mean for illegal immigrants; if they can't support themselves they can be sent back to their own country. They have no right to stay in mainland Norway, so that won't be a problem.

I’m glad in your area minimum wage has beaten inflation - I’d argue it actually hasn’t, because to my knowledge minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation anywhere. It may have gone up 50% in the past ten years, but it languished for decades before that. But that’s a side point.

On the main point - first in most US states minimum wage has not kept up with inflation.

Second - does minimum wage apply to gig workers in your location? Because in most places they have successfully classified their employees as “contractors”.

As to your point, uber is in many many places in the world - and the degree at which they have exploited their workers is variable. Where I am, uber costs about the same as a regular taxi did before uber arrived. But taxis drivers made and do make more than uber drivers. That sounds like a middle man got in and lowered wages. The same work, less money for workers, more for middle men? That is exploitation.
That's not what they did, just closed access which is legal and fine. Nobody is obliagted to leave stuff easily available for access. They can go subpoena it instead if they want. The whole "kick down the doors and take everything" is authoritarian, it should only be used where legal attempts at getting specific documents don't work because somebody won't comply with the legal order. And raiding people is fucked up bc they don't usually get a chance to even review the warrant. From an article on it:

> Uber told the court it never deleted its files. It cooperated with a second search warrant that explicitly covered the files and agreed to collect provincial taxes for each ride.

WASM doesn't have jumps [1]. And it's not as low-level as you might expect. But even still you're assuming that low level means a specific model of computation a la PDP-11 that's as fictional as any other.

I had some friends who worked on research of data structures specifically for genome sequences. No idea about the details, but they're in the same tune as this paper: https://hub.hku.hk/handle/10722/60628

(the first author was their supervisor, they published a series of similar computational biology papers that you might be interested in, so if you check his other publications you (GP) might find something interesting or a least find an entry point to dig into references and citations that may result in something you'd be interested in -- that said if you find any data structure useful you'll probably have to implement it yourself...)

In that specific case, the inherent impl is preferred, so there’s no ambiguity. however this can still cause a breaking change if the inherent impl has a different type signature than the trait.

And yes, there are tons of things that can subtly break code. That’s why the rust project runs the entire open source ecosystems’ tests as part of the testing process for the compiler. It’s not all of the code in existence, but it’s pretty good at flushing out if something is going to cause disruption or not.

In practice, the experience that the vast majority of users report to us is that they do not experience breakage when upgrading the compiler.
> When Buddhism supports and reinforces misogyny, racism or jingoism from the surrounding culture, this is also a failing of Buddhism.

Buddhism as a religion has constantly and reliably failed throughout history. "This is not true Buddhism" is putting head into the sand. Buddhism that is deeply embedded into culture and tradition carries the baggage of the culture. Often when it transfers to a new culture there is a nice break from the tradition.

>There are many Buddhist teachers (including Jack Kornfield) who absolutely do emphasise more virtuous and emphatic

Yes. The wisdom of Jack Kornfield is taking western secular values adopting them into Buddhism and getting rid of the bad. Buddhism like any religion can be changed to anything you like, good or bad.
This is a very local take. Some places, cab drivers were being taken advantage of even more than Uber does (by the medallion holder). In other places, the driver had a lot better gig pre-uber.

I've never worked in a unionized place, but from what I've heard over the years:

Firing an employee becomes much harder. You have to convince the union first.

Employees can file grievances. If a disciplinary or surveillance system is considered onerous (by them), then they file a grievance, and much bureaucracy ensues.

Pay scales tend to depend on seniority and job classification, not on a supervisor's idea of your merit. This is negotiated in the union contract every few years, as a rule.

Major changes in how the warehouse operates have to be cleared with the union.

Union dues are deducted from paychecks.

The union can go on strike, and other unions generally respect their picket lines.

I'm deliberately not making this seem like Heaven on Earth. That's probably why union elections are contentious.
I would say it looks more like it was produced by someone who studied architecture/design, and had fun exploring the aesthetics of Pepsi as a brand.
We checked our Intercom. We spammed. One user got six emails in a 5 day span. There were some separate initiatives going on. We didn't check the settings and current outgoing mail. We will change it.

BTW: all of this was done without any bad intent. It's 100% us being stupid and not coordinating and being diligent enough.
Don't forget that with Open Source, all the blame lies with the implementer. One of the huge draws for paid solutions is that when the system gets borked - as it almost inevitably does - institutional blame can be routed on to the tools vendor, instead of a business process that, if you looked at it even medium-hard, shows itself to be a mobius strip of idiocy, incapable of existing in any meaningful sense.

Time to go tool shopping again! Rinse and repeat for many decades.
I feel like"software" is a really big bucket and there's actually a wide spectrum of projects with different scopes and missions. Some projects are actively harmful to society and I would have a hard time getting meaning from building such software. However there is also a lot of useful progress we can make too, so anyone finding low motivation to keep at it should consider building something else as an option.
> Will it transfer during a sale?

Remember, the feature has a lifetime value. All that's happening here is those payments are being deferred. You could (1) charge the 10 year value outright or (2) charge it on a monthly basis.

In scenario 1, BMW captures the full value and basically allow their customers to negotiate the remaining value of the feature in the used car market. In scenario 2, BMW requires the second purchaser to enable the feature. It additionally requires that the feature never be turned off for an extended period of time. Say the car sits in a dealership lot for 6 months. Do they profit from the feature then?

Altogether it looks like they're trying to streamline production. It's likely a lot cheaper to have all the cars manufactured with heated seats and have some mechanism to enable them. Monthly subscription cost, however, seems insane.

Also, inflation is actually a counterargument for a strategy like this.

In inflationary environments, money today is worth more than money tomorrow. Also, can you imagine trying to hike subscription prices frequently to keep up with inflation?
Nikon is late to mirroless, but their Z mount lenses are superb. As are their second gen mirrorless bodies. Also their first gen, even if the gear fanatics had some greavences about single memory card slots. In that light, also considering Z mount lenses took a while to be released, 20% is actually pretty solid.

> They wouldn't stop a union, but they'd also be in favor of allowing a business to fire employees everytime they unionize.

Right, and they would also be in favor of unions killing a business via strikes if the union doesn't like what the business is doing. I live in Sweden, there is nothing legally that prevents a company from setting whatever wages they want, the only thing that is stopping them is that unions would make it really hard for them to find and hire people. The laws you have in USA are mostly to protect companies from unions, that is why your unions are weak.

The way it works: Lets say that a company is paying too little in a city according to the union. Then the union will pay those workers to strike, so they still get their money, until the company raises the wages. This makes workers much more powerful than companies in these scenarios, and is why worker rights are better in Sweden than USA.

Mostly career related things. I made peace with the fact that I simply love making things, and there are four things I really want to make that I think could also be a business. Outside of professional stuff, I’m really fulfilled in life (i.e. that’s why I don’t have anything other than career aspirations on this particular list)
The demos feel fast on my iPhone, but deeply weird to squint at a teeny tiny 2000s style UI on my smartphone. Have you thought about “retina” or “responsive” UI patterns? I guess if you’re explicitly targeting only 2000s desktop users you don’t need it, but more and more consumers have 13” HiDPI tablets or touch laptops, and all consumers have touch phones.
A/B testing is a tool, and as Deming said, the aim defines the system. In your definition of Good, you are defining the aim.

I've been in a similar situation, where I created a relatively sophisticated A/* testing and control system. My idea of good use of the system ended up being very different from how the team employing the system thought about it.

I believe that is part of the point of the post, that unintended, and even unimagined side effects plague even the best of ideas.
We built Druthers to make democratic decisions as a team.

It derives results through a ranked-choice voting algorithm that I encourage you to try and game! And, importantly, it is almost no fun whatsoever to use this app without another person, preferably live over the (video) phone or in-person.

Druthers' first incarnation was built with Rails and JQuery on a team of four. The second on Firebase, solo. This one passes CRDTs over WebRTC because, of course, and we pair-programmed it.

It's is an exercise in moderate minimalism. Smallish build toolchain, fewish dependencies, unambitious UX.

Can I hope for it? Would put an end to the "slapping Linux on a Windows box and complaining about how it doesn't work right" nonsense. (Probably in the bad way, and almost certainly with massive damage to the wider x86 hardware market, but still....)

One of the things Apple did kinda right was forcing you to buy Apple hardware to run OSX. It would be deeply ironic of Microsoft to cause the same end effect by locking Linux _out_ of all the Windows computers.
LVMH has purchased a lot of companies that have maintained success, but they are a holding company that runs companies more as independent subsidiaries. If software followed this model it might be alright, but most of the acquisitions by big companies are trying to merge the new company into the old, vs. buying, running and sustaining a company as a continuing business.
There is no coherent legal argument for universal CJEU supremacy. Most EU members implement EU law as simple bills or treaties. Most constitutions assert themselves to be the supreme law and require a super majority to amend them. To assert that EU intuitions can override the constitution without a proper amendment is ridiculous.

Last time I had to come up with constitutional legal arguments it didn't even cross my mind to research EU jurisprudence. I cited some American case law which is as binding as EU case law - not at all. It's a matter of judicial discretion whether one considers a foreign legal argument persuasive. There is no constitutional reason (in most EU countries) to prefer EU stuff. And to disregard the domestic constitution in favor of the EU is indefensible.

Re: Novel Social Primitives - I've been reading up on econ because of crypto, and came across E Ostrom's writing about Polycentricity, which seems extremely valuable to the Centralized vs. Decentralized conversation (hint: it's never 0.0 or 1.0 on that scale).

Before DevOps was fully a thing, a coworker and I sketched out a (too-complicated) service-discovery/bootstrapping program using DNS + PGP, and what we thought was a super-clever signing scheme for trusting automatically-spawned processes from our central platform tool. (Turns out, there are better ways)

The ability to build trust a la PGP Key Signing Parties, but at scale - and use them in a polycentric way could change a lot of things for the better.

For example, instead of ever giving out my IlluminatiFreedomCoin address that's tied to my SSN, I could produce a Venn diagram of users who have signed my keys for FB, Twitter, HN, etc. to suggest that I am who I say I am. Not foolproof, but probably sufficient to add a user account or keep a Craigslist deal moving forward, until I can authenticate IRL.
> As long as there is no unicode SS character, we are into the "what color are your bits" problem or tolower needs to be language and word aware.

It turns out there is such a unicode character -- ẞ/ß -- although based on other comments here it looks like it was added fairly recently.

Upper/Lower case stuff just seems to be at an annoying intersection where it has cultural and also programming significance. Or at least, people will use toUpper when they really want some case-insensitive sortable version of the string.

> The choice between homelessness, starvation, and working an underpaid job is not a choice made voluntarily.

Homelessness and starvation (even if we accept this argument at face value for drivers in first-world countries) are natural human condition, and Uber, or any other employer, does not become magically responsible for it just because they enter the picture with their job offer.

> An extra $20 to get from the airport or home from the bar once and a while (talk about transactions entered voluntarily), vs a grueling work environment that pays terrible that you have to do EVERY day to not starve.

I believe that everyone should feel sympathy for the poor and contribute to charity. However, this moral choice should be a free choice made by the person herself and not through coercion by government or similar entities.
This is really just a Web of Trust, right?
