Kotlin 1.7.0 shipped with a WASM compiler recently that currently requires some experimental flags in Chrome to enable features related to garbage collection, threads, and memory management. So, it looks like this is progressing nicely. Once this lands, I imagine there will be a whole range of languages that will be able to make good use of this.

As for DOM manipulation, that seems to work well enough but I'm sure there are further improvements coming.
Any failure to get to the expected desktop must be investigated. No exceptions.

If you ignore red flags, yeah, you are going to get owned.

Windows doesn't do that normally, it doesn't reboot after installing updates during the boot. It can only happen if the computer crashes during update install, which again, is rare and a red flag. So it's not like every week you will need to send your computer to investigations during update installs.

But of course, the evil maid can just implant your keyboard.
That's not how it worked. Some authors got paid a big advance in return for giving up all subscription revenue for one year. In at least some cases, authors said they would have made more money taking the regular subscription deal, where Substack gets a cut.

So in those cases, Substack provided financing and made money on it in the end. I don't know if that's true on average, though.
As for the other comment, there is an artificial 2s delay between image loads. It might be to reduce the load on the server, or just to make it seems like it's doing more work than it is.

A very hacky way to remove it (I'm sure there are better ways!) is to redefine the setTimeout function to just ignore the delay and call the function directly. Open the console and type

setTimeout = (x => x())

On a fast connection with this loading it's almost immediate - it's pretty cool to just drag your cursor across the screen.

But yes, the flicker is pretty bad. This is not handled very well (as expected), it would be nice if it tried to "stick" to one image for a few ms instead of flickering between the same two while moving.
As I mention on the other thread, I could believe Asus or Acer or some other cheap laptop disabling it because of gaming performance or whatever, but not the big brands.

I am quite familiar with HP itself, and in fact as I linked on the other thread they publicly claim that _all_ their laptops have Bitlocker enabled by default. Lenovo is the laptop of TFA, so they are definitely doing Bitlocker on their enterprisey laptops. My Dell Inspiron 5510 came with Bitlocker on out of the box, and perusing the Dell support site having articles about Bitlocker recovery as early as the WD15 docking station era, I am sure they are enabling it by default too.
A while back I was sold on a subscription because I wanted to subscribe on some topics and get a nice digest in my mail every day or so..

So I cancelled (which unfortunately only happens some months later..)

This study engaged the Tsimané. If you do a websearch on 'Tsimané alzheimer's' you will see how they were studied in that space.
I'm doing some pretty different things with civboot.org and http://github.com/vitiral/fngi, but most would consider them regressions instead of advancements.

The goal is to have fragmentation-free memory managers that can work with minimal hardware support. This has limitations like block size (only 4k blocks allowed), but forces me to innovate. For instance, I'm planning on an "arena stack", where most functions simply use the arena on the top of the stack. Functions can reserve an arena on the arena-stack, call a function, then copy essential data and drop the arena, reducing fragmentation.

Might not be the kind of ideas you were thinking, but I consider this simpler than the current abstractions which hide complexity.
Amazingly I still use these things called rear-view mirrors and backup cameras.
Sorry, you are correct, the fee is a percentage of the notional value.
A sibling claims he's 18 years old; it's also just possible that he and his parents are well off enough that he doesn't want for anything, and that paying for everything is reasonable for them to do.

Also consider that streaming (music, TV, movies) has been decently plentiful and cheap for the entirety of his teen years. He may not have had a need to pirate anything just because his parents paid for Netflix and Spotify accounts.

For games, most have an online component and are more difficult to pirate, as he points out in his article. Certainly it's not impossible (there are many single-player/offline games that just want to do a license check, which can often be hacked, and others where the server components have been reverse-engineered and clones), but it was a lot easier to pirate games when you just had a CD or floppy that you could disassemble and poke at to create a patch. And again, maybe he and his parents have been able to afford to buy whatever games he's wanted to play.

But I also see this as a result of the newest generation of computer users being raised in restrictive computing environments. iOS and Android don't encourage you to tinker; their security and product model tries to preclude that. Desktop macOS is more and more locked down with every release. Windows is... well, Windows. Desktop Linux still has yet to develop any kind of traction (and I say this as someone who has been using Linux on the desktop, nearly exclusively, for 20 years). Even many people I know who grew up in the 80s and 90s like I did, who used to have desktop or laptop computers, have shelved them and replaced them with iOS/Android/iPad OS.

In many ways, I think this is really a crappy time for computing. Sure, we have all this cheap computing power, but for the most part we're using it just to consume mainstream media. I say this even with the explosion of easy creation tools like digital cameras, and things like Instagram and TikTok. Fortunately there are still a lot of healthy hacker/maker communities, but I think their percentage of the whole of computing has been steadily dropping over the past 15 years.
When I went back to photography I put quite some thought into the next gear, obviously the old D70 I ahd lying around wasn't going to cut it. And I wanted full frame, so the D200 I borrowed from ky dad was at best a back up.

In the end I ended uo using, and loving, my dad's D700 I switched the D200 for (he's on a D750/200 combo now). I came to the conlusion that, regardless how good Nikon's Z cameras and lebses are, I prefer to spend the money on vacation and trips to places to shoot great pictures. So I am going to stick with the D700, with a mint, used D300 as a back-up. Some additional budget will go into a 400mm and a 20mm lense. And maybe a spare D700 body as long as those are still available with <50k shots taken. Honestly, this camera gave me the fun in ohotography back, I love using it. For my use as an artistic tool it the perfect camera.

As a pro so I would go mirroless, no doubt about that.
There's no such thing as an image relying on the capabilities of a Z9. In terms of raw image quality, it uses the same-ish sensor as a high-end DSLR, say a D850. Resolution and dynamic range are highly similar.

A mirrorless system does not create better pictures. It does increase the likelihood that you capture the image you want at all.

Regardless of exposure, you have to consider wavelength. There are some things JWST can see that are completely invisible to Hubble, or, similarly, there are objects that are opaque to Hubble that JWST can see right through. Just look at all the extra stars that appear in the image of the Carina Nebula for an example of that.
As a reader there's always a little groan inside when I see something is hosted on Medium.

'Cuz, here, look at it:

There's so much junk in the way of the content. It feels like Medium doesn't respect the text or the act of reading. Night and day compared to Substack.

If I'm in any way typical, you've got a lot of work to do to overcome the negative associations of the brand.
95% of existing gold is used for store (including jewelery) [1]; not for industrial applications.

Wavelength is also a factor. Huygens optics has a great video on this. tldr; angular resolution is about the same as the Hubble.

Another strange failure for Disney was the Black Cauldron. Although, I knew it wouldn’t have impacted science fiction.
I have yet to run into a slow Wordpress blog. The slow WP sites are usually corporate websites running a ton of plugins (appointment scheduler is a popular one) that wouldn't exist on a pure writer's blog site.
In theory CPS is very fast indeed, but of course our hero can easily collapse attempting to cross the chasm of the Sufficiently Smart Compiler. I suspect Chicken using CPS for everything is the main reason http://canonical.org/~kragen/urscheme, which doesn't implement call/cc, is so much faster than Chicken.
With infrared you can see through the dust.
Bushy tail.

That's 99% of it.

We can talk about behaviour, or aggression, or disease, but i think even if rats acted like squirrels in every way, but still didn't have the bushy tail, we'd prefer squirrels.
Yeah my experiences at Frankfurt have been poor. And it's a psychotic German cop thing that basically any kind of "special" deployment means they're all toting submachine guns, even if there's zero notion of an increased threat of violence. A deeply bizarre practice.
> It also had the misfortune of trying to compete with two other huge sci-fi blockbusters in the summer of 1982: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.

I miss when "summer blockbuster" meant something other than the 40th Marvel comic movie and the 20th DC comic movie.
The -i ending comes from Arabic which makes it seem a bit out of place in Myanmar (not to mention the obvious religious tension).

-ese, -ian, -an and -n all come from Latin via routes of varying directness, which is why they feel somewhat "neutral" in English (e.g. Congolese and Japanese both seem cromulent and not intrinsically African or Asian).
> These are all photos that look like they were taken with disposable cameras in the early 2000s. First thought was "why do all of these look like they were taken at my college parties?"

You're probably not too far off.

This is apparently all the photos it uses: https://gist.github.com/Q726kbXuN/6937cf84ac6debcb2027cdba13.... I eyeballed it for a bit and all those that had timestamps were from 2004-2006. I also saw a Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign sign in the background of one.
> It's about observing the users fumble through your UX when you know their motivation.

Some time ago we did such a test. We called 10 customers to our offices and had them do some flows in the application. They didn't fumble. They pretty much did what they had to do and left positive reviews.

That whole thing got scrapped because consultants convinced our CEO that qualitative data is not good for global scoped startups, and that we should be building based on quantitative data.

Honestly, in less than a year, our customer experience was already taking a dive because all the extra little features we would add and strange UI elements, it became a confusing mess and our tracked NPS (Net Promoter Score) showed that. I've since left the company, but I check on them from time to time and they never really recovered and continue doing A | B in the hopes of hitting that sweet spot. It's just an unrecognizable monster at this point in my opinion.
>I did not object at all to you raising what you feel is a valid warning. Nor, as far as I see did the other poster, they simply disagreed politely.

If you're saying that people are wrong to not want a massive bloody finger or a drunken flashing photo on their screen, then yes, you are objecting to the warning, and you are showing an empathy deficit. Sorry, where was the irony you claimed to see? Because as far as I can tell, I have empathy for people who don't want those images on their screen, while you don't.

Generally speaking, I imagine there's a high threshold for objecting to a mere warning (the point about triggers you ignored), so I assumed if anyone were actually disputing that this merited a warning, they believed the wrongness of my comment met that threshold. But sure, I was wrong to assume anyone thinks that far ahead or tries to be consistent.
That's still a month's rent for a lot of people, why would you spend that on a lounge for a few hours?

I think most people would balk at the price. If it was 30 quid it would be reasonable.
For the wavelengths that the telescopes are designed to observe (primarily ultraviolet & visible for Hubble, though it can do a little bit of infrared, while JWST looks at Infra-red and mid-infrared) resolution is fairly comparable, though JWST has a much wider field of view and doesn't half to sit idle when it orbits the sun side of the earth like Hubble does.

A major issue with Hubble & JWST comparisons is just that they're designed to look at different wavelengths of light. A lot of what JWST will see is completely invisible to Hubble, and no amount of observing time can compensate for that.
The 2010 Tron movie has a good bit of outdoor Vancouver, BC in it, standing in for whatever generic American city it's supposed to be set in.

Fairly typical example of Hollywood North re-dressing a city to match its needs.

The building with the parachute base jump is actually the Shangri-La condo tower downtown.
These objects are much too faint to see much of anything with human eyes. We can see them in astrophotography because the exposures are hours long (or weeks even, sometimes), and because telescopes gather more light than the eye per unit time, as well. This is why these nebulae look like billowing clouds - they are huge (light years across), so some light is absorbed as it crosses them, and some of the infrared light emitted by them adds up. And then we enhance the effect by taking very long exposures. If we actually went and stood near or even inside these nebulae, we would still be in pretty hard interstellar vacuum, and we wouldn't see anything.
Squirrels don't break into your home in the middle of the night and trash your stuff. That's why I don't mind squirrels and despise rats. Maybe it's that squirrels don't have the ability to squeeze through tiny little holes in foundations and so forth that makes them better neighbors.

> Overall there is no Buddhist lineage over a century old that I'm aware of that has its primary focus on meditation.

Do you mean specifically in Japan? Because many of the Tibetan lineages have Dzogchen [1] or Mahamudra [2] meditation as their primary focus and go back a thousand plus years. There are even lineages of householder or itinerant yogis called Ngagpa [3] that have long traditions of meditation training, going back to Tilopa, Saraha, and the other Mahasiddhas of Bengal. I practice with a Tibetan Ngagpa from time to time (Dr Nida) [4] and have also gotten a chance to practice with a Baul teacher from modern Bengal [5], and it's interesting to note how even though the lineages have split in their outward appearances, there are quite a lot of similarities in their teaching of meditation.

Anyway, that's all to say that in many Tibetan Buddhist lineages the meditation practice has been an unbroken, primary focus of the teachings. It wouldn't be surprising if that wasn't the case in other traditions.

"custodianship", as it is known, does begin to exist in crypto world. The custodian / administrator / prime broker (all related terms) hold the actual keys, and you have something like a limited key that permits some pre-agreed operations. So for example you can only wire funds to pre-approved addresses.
That's a good perspective on it, thanks. I'm absolutely guilty of seeing the term it through the lens of the technical solution rather than the problem class.
On IOS I find it a tad more difficult to edit parts of urls (eg remove www and add old for reddit or remove facebooks clid to posts) . We still have the ability to modify the url, Im grateful they haven't taken that away yet but I'm getting that some some things slowly become less usable, for some people at least. Also the main app for photos gets in my way with a lot of things I do not need, all those smart films of the month, face tagging and making albums out of tags is really something I wish I could turn off.
Yea, but nobody cares what REST pedants think.
Why is there so much more lens flare on Webb vs Hubble?

It seems to negatively degrade the photos taken much more so than Hubble.

Possibly unpopular fact: lots of people hunt and eat squirrels. So this is another way we define differences between otherwise similar animals: one is food, and the other is not.

I'm soooo disappointed in Medium. They were supposed to be a clean, readable alternative to all the shitty sites that attack you with popups and won't show text without JS. But bit by bit they've joined the sites they were meant to replace.
Fully refundable tickets are awesome. My old company had a contract where all international business travels to customer sites must purchase fully refundable business class tickets.

If you’re implementing a compiler for a language like Haskell, then everything is compiled into mutually-recursive tail calls.
I find it unfair that paid accounts essentially pay for the freeloaders. This problem is mitigated by serving ADs to the free users or selling their data. That model is broken in many cases, so just don’t do it. Offer strictly paid from the outset.
From Common Sense to Bespoke Realities
A few people in my neighborhood have fences/walls. Most are those incredibly ugly white plastic things. I know where my corner markers are. I try not to put stuff beyond my boundary, but it generally doesn't really make a difference as three sides of my property is wooded/wild, and I'm probably the only person to go in there. The town "owns" 10' on either side of the road in front, so I try not to put much there except for my mailbox and a couple of small flower patches. Note: Kids do not recognize boundaries. They will ride their bikes on my driveway, across my yard, wherever they feel like it. Smart people, those kids.

(background: I work in tech mergers and acquisitions for a company that does pre-acquisition diligence.)

It is worth noting that, most of the time, the things that are so wonderful about working at the small company are fun for all the same reasons that they aren't sustainable. Most startups are not cash positive - they don't make money, they just lose money more slowly than they get investment (by selling off bits of the company). So very often, the stuff you want to have continue just can't because it was based on imaginary income. The exit plan always involves the company becoming profitable at some point (maybe after multiple rounds of acquisitions) and that usually means that on each round the company has to become more realistic about how they spend their money, including how they manage their devs.

On the other hand, it's true that a small lifestyle company can keep many of those things, but they do that by not having a plan to sell, which tends to mean you get the spirit and independence but not the throwing-around-cash-like-it-was-free fun times.

When you factor in opportunity-cost, the whole office plays lazer tag on friday is really bloody expensive.
