They’re past the point of it being “hidden”. At this point Google cancel culture is a popular meme for consumers. That’s a major reason many people refuse to even try Stadia. Due to their history with consumer product cancellations, everyone just assumes a cancellation is around the corner.

Other companies like Amazon and Sony are also no stranger to product cancellations. The major difference is that when Amazon or Sony cancels a product, they will refund early adopters the cost of the product. Google isn’t willing to do that.

Absolutely. Although I wouldn't peg this to just legacy support - in my experience even modern SAS arrays take ages to come online.

As the GP noted, modern systems coordinate the array through an integral backplane and control spin-up of individual disks plus a lot more. The main difference between a "server" and a desktop is the reliability/integrity/redundancy built into the system, which comes at the cost of boot time. A worthy trade-off in most cases, and once the system is "alive", the expected performance is achieved.
I'm going to guess its the BIOS taking up most of that time. Ubuntu and Manjaro both boot for me in less than 10 seconds.
You can ask them a question instead of insinuating that what they said did not make sense.
You've never seen real, serious preppers. The real ones absolutely think about food production, water, livestock, waste management, energy, health care, etc.

Many of them already practice what they prepare for by having productive gardens (as one example). You might not know that the person who grew the prize-winning squash at the local fair this year also regularly goes to Gunsite and has a solid grasp of wilderness medicine. The folks down the way who get their protein from hunting might not be hipster-hunters, but instead people who have already ingrained into their lifestyle traits that are handy if societal support structures break down. A surprising number of these "real" preppers are not politically motivated in the way some might think — I've met more than a few that have experienced "Life During Wartime" so to speak and simply don't choose to believe it can't happen here.

> shared sounds that are able to go very viral rapidly

Shared sounds was a nifty innovation and TikTok executed it well.

While FB always focused on their vaunted friends graph, there was an entirely separate graph waiting to be discovered which had nothing to do with friendship:

i.e. A graph of people worldwide who have lipsynced (or danced) to the same tune. It's a clever way to inject novelty (and dopamine) into the system!

Seems obvious in retrospect, of course.
Drones aren't going anywhere. They are so cheap, plentiful, and useful that it doesn't really matter how good the counter measures get. And if the counter measures get too good, then those systems will become primary targets themselves.

EDIT: Looking at the wikipedia for Iron Beam. The range is only 7km. A quick google search indicates drones can fly at elevations of 10km, safely out of range. Also, it sounds like Iron Beam was designed to handle the occasional rocket launch from Hamas, and not a full scale barrage of artillery. So a possible way to defeat this system would be to send a drone up to 10km, locate the Iron Beam system, and send a barrage of artillery shells in its direction and maybe sneak in a high precision shell or two in the volley to increase your odds of a hit. That seems like it would be sufficient to take it out.
I have been wishing Apple or Google maps would add this as a feature for at least five years now. When I’m in a new city for work, and I know I have 90 minutes til my next meeting, it would be massively helpful to see every lunch place in a 15-25 minute walking radius. The fact that there’s still not a “search/filter by transit time” feature in any Maps app seems like proof there’s not enough competition in that space in 2022.
Because that’s how organic chemistry works.
> Windows and macOS dominate because 99.9% of users do not care about the difference between registries, file systems, text or binary tools, UNIX-like, POSIX, etc… none of these things matter to them! They just want to use a computer and get on with their life.

The flip side of this argument is that the experience of using computers for that 99.9% of users sucks.

As software engineers, it's almost our responsibility to argue in favor of better platforms, because every day not spent fighting the platform is a day we could be building better experiences for our users. (Not to mention, every day the platform doesn't inadvertently mess up the user experience is a day of smaller support costs.)
I personally am a bit boggled by how hard people will go to bat for "movies must be 24 fps as God intended" because I also have many places like big pans where it's just jarring to me in 2022 to see things jerking across the screen like that, and I'm as used to 24 fps movies as anyone else. There's other things like actions scenes to where I can see the frame rate, motion blur notwithstanding, and I find that quite jarring.
I guess my concern is with “silent” memory corruption, e.g. someone putting in a “bzero(state, …)” by accident and winding up with deterministic randomness. Sure, they could also just as well do a “bzero(randombuf, …)” before using it but that’s much easier to detect (and in my head, somewhat harder to do by accident).

Silly mistakes like the Debian randomness bug come to mind - a program can be totally well-behaved even in the face of a glaring entropy failure, in a way that’s hard for developers to detect.

I don’t think they’re making an argument that it’s sufficient to attract people, but that it is necessary.

Obviously any sort of serious effort will need some sort of marketing or other social push, but you can market a pile of dog poop all you want and nobody will be interested.
Most don't even know of XDG. The reason is, there's no central documentation or route for the userland. By Linux, we understand, the kernel and to the kernel developers, that is true. So let alone the anarchy of the userland be handled by distributions and users.

>I'm not talking about things like multiplayer games

What is and isn't a 'multiplayer game' isn't so clear cut. Neither is the reason why 'multiplayer games' should be exempt from this.

But let's leave that aside, the problem is that there isn't a simple, clear-cut legislation to fix this. Instead you would need to create a big regulatory and enforcement framework, along with a technical framework defined and built by the publishers .. and even then it isn't so clear-cut that this is enough. And yes, all this would raise the barrier of entry for indie developers who now would need the equivalent of 'regulatory approval' to release their games.

Given that this would take an enormous amount of effort to pass, only to satisfy a small number of video game aficionados, it's hard to see why any government would expand the effort and political capital to do it.
That's the image the media gave but this happened 10-15 years ago before the press turned on companies.

Craigslist was untrustworthy, ebay as well. The whole internet was untrustworthy. Things only became dangerous when non-computer users got a cell phone.

In any case, tropical deforestation may be accelerating, but perhaps temperate reforestation is accelerating even faster.
> It took 20 years ... Node is barely over a decade old. We are already seeing patterns mature in the node ecosystem and I hope things keep progressing that way.

But... much of the earliest web work (PHP, etc) occurred in the early days of search. Example of quality code, best security practices, etc all were fairly .. rudimentary and hard to find.

Just because it took 20 years starting 20 years ago doesn't justify 20 years starting from 10 years ago. There are infinitely more and better resources for just about everything these days.
I was about to comment "what, vim-plug had a release this year", but then noticed that article is from 2019.
Here's a good video on one method of calculating what the sum of the smaller individual parts would be. This is for the north east corridor but the same thinking applies to any rail project.

It seems like about a million people live there, not nearly enough individually, and trains would likely alternate at which locations they stop to bring the total travel time between the larger areas down.

Might be hindered by the mountainous terrain though making the cost prohibitive.

How does gRPC make authentication lighter-weight? Presumably you still have a token in either case which needs to be validated? There aren't many places where parsing HTTP requests is really a significant bottleneck, and I'd guess the majority of the remainder are an architectural problem (someone using a "get" endpoint in a tight loop instead of a "list" endpoint or some such).
Not really; it was an attempt at making fast and responsive software. If you can just blit a file into memory, why not? It's a hell of a lot faster than parsing and validating bytes and then converting them into your runtime data structures.
It's a lot faster in the other direction, too.

When all the world runs one architecture, why wouldn't you do that?
Backpacks would seldom last me a full year until I bought a Goruck GR1 backpack about 7 years ago.

It has a military influence in looks, but I've never had any comments or dirty looks in any conference/board room I've had it in. It's the best laptop bag I've ever owned. Durable, comfortable and versatile enough for non tech adventures. I've lived out of it for a week at a time when traveling.
It's such a weird use case. Why would anybody want a 30 second to 10 minute per image slideshow where you can't control the images?
My report had an old work address listed. Not sure how that could've happened except that I had to have a background check performed while I was already there, and listed the work address as my address.

There was also an associated phone number that I only ever used on my credit card accounts. Hmm.

I'm taking your question as genuine, but you provided some fun value with that hehehehehe
> Generally speaking, for a server, boot time is not a factor. Nobody needs their physical server to boot and be ready in 5 seconds

Nobody has had the option of this. I very much have use cases for this, and while the firmware remains a persistent problem, I've been able to bring up the kernel and userspace on server hardware in a fraction of a second.

I'd love to have the firmware stop adding so much time here.

> > I'm thinking that the confusion is that you're thinking of this as audio or other wave-based signals

> Doesn't most lossy image compression make the same assumption, e.g. JPEG?

Yes, but the key difference is that there's no temporal component; the wave is across the screen, not across time. When one speaks of a low-pass filter in image processing, it's generally operating on the horizontal- and vertical-axes, not the time-axis.

To put "not wave-based" in to other words: Unlike audio, video across time is neither continuous nor band-limited.
Isnt that just motion interpolation on 120Hz panels?
I think it helps to read summaries or explanations of infinite Jest and not just dig into it. Eventually you get a good mental picture of the entire timeline, the rough details of how the dystopia works and how the story is told in a loop.

Until you need to theme some tabs because design must align the text and icons -just so- and quickly find that not everything in material is themable. Some things are missing.

So you style deep dom elements that break when you upgrade material, if you ever do, because upgrading is now too expensive with the Frankenstein you’ve tried to jam into material’s default styles.

I’ve worked with many, many designers. None of them have ever liked working with constraints. Even getting a single designer to commit to a color palette is pulling teeth.
Some of it is that it's not an explicit goal. Also, some of that time is spent doing things that are actually useful to some people, or doing things that the system needs to do unless someone tells it not to. For example, it might spend time waiting for hardware to settle, then querying what hardware there is, then loading drivers for the hardware. If you know in advance what hardware there is and how long until it starts up and know that you won't need anything else, you can disable it, but for a generic OS that boots on arbitrary hardware and works, it has value.

Edit: Oh, and let me echo other comments: It depends on your hardware/firmware; the OS can't do anything about it if your machine takes 10 seconds to get to the bootloader.
An artillery round flies much, much faster, supersonic for a good part of the trajectory. It hits a target 10-15 km away in well under a minute.

A drone would take 10-20 minutes to cover such a distance, and it would likely be easier to spot and destroy while en route, even if it tries to fly low and maneuver.

And, to amplify your point a bit, there are problems with A/B testing for which of my children I should love the most, or what I find beautiful or interesting; or should I A/B test out whether enslaving others works out well for me?

I chose extreme examples, but the point is that there are many, many things in human experience that don't lend themselves to easy, simplistic rules. It's genuinly hard to work through a lot of a lot of the issues that people face in real life.

With that said, it's it's also important to work through and to understand objective data as best as possible. For clearly defined and nicely-behaving problems objective data is certainly the way to go. The problem is that a lot of the problems people actually face aren't so easy to understand, and aren't so well-behaved.

There are two populations of "ponies" on Assateague. A VA herd and a MD herd. The land-manager for each is different (USFWS vs NPS).

For the VA (USFWS) herd, the herd size is capped at 150 adults and the Chincoteague VFC is the herd manager/owner. The annual pony crossing is part of herd health and population management. Pregnant and newly birthed mares/foals do not make the crossing - they are corralled separately and transported via trailer. Part of the crossing effort includes health checks as well as the auction.

The MD (NPS) herd is feral with contraceptives used to manage population and avoid over-grazing. Other than contraception, the herd is managed like other wild life (ie, mostly left alone, except for exceptional circumstances). This herd is not part of the crossing.

There are several wikipedia entries for the ponies, the crossing, etc, if you're interested.
There's a cost to winning the lottery. Everyone knows you won. In most states, at least. If I'm going to put up with the hassle of losing my privacy, dealing with stalkers, family members begging, friends begging, etc ... then I want it to be a really big win. Then I can give away a relatively large amount of it to my friends and family, maybe even enough to keep a few of them as friends, and buy sufficient protection and anonymity for myself and my family so we can stay safe.

$10M is going to be $5M in a lump sum, and maybe $3M after taxes. That's a sufficient amount to live a comfortable-but-not-exotic retirement for however long you live. You'll still have all the bad parts of winning a jackpot, but insufficient resources to really deal with it.

I can't sign up for that because they include a bunch of criteria beyond "small" that I, frankly, do not want.

1. They want OLED which has nothing to do with the phone size. I strongly prefer avoiding OLED because I prefer longevity / not having burn-in.

2. Hole punch front camera: I'd like to avoid any sort of notch/punch/deviation from standard rectangularish screens.

3. 2 rear cameras: I don't care. At least this one isn't a bad choice like the others, I just don't care.

and that is in their "must have" section, so I cannot commit my support.
There is a physical theory which postulates that life is inevitable and a consequence of the laws of physics:

> The thermodynamic dissipation theory thus assgins an explicit thermodynamic function to life; the dissipative structuring, proliferation, and evolution of molecular pigments and their complexes from common precursor carbon based molecules under the impressed short wavelength solar photon potential to perform the explicit thermodynamic function of dissipating this light into long wavelength infrared light (heat). In a general sense, the origin of life is no different than the origin of other dissipative structuring processes like hurricanes and the water cycle, except that these latter processes deal with structuring involving hydrogen bonding while life deals with structuring involving covalent bonding. The external photon potential supplied continuously by the environment (our Sun), and its dissipation into heat by the assembly of dissipative structures, are, therefore, both integral components necessary for understanding life.

https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/6923

> The formula, based on established physics, indicates that when a group of atoms is driven by an external source of energy (like the sun or chemical fuel) and surrounded by a heat bath (like the ocean or atmosphere), it will often gradually restructure itself in order to dissipate increasingly more energy. This could mean that under certain conditions, matter inexorably acquires the key physical attribute associated with life.

Exactly this.

> I can believe this for you, though that you did not notice the ads here makes me wonder whether you might be missing tasteful ads elsewhere? But it's definitely not true for most people: a web without advertising funding is a web that the vast majority of people who currently use the web would enjoy much less.

"Most people" argument is generally a bad one as it takes a point in time statistic vs a first principles merit-based observation.

For example "most people" enjoyed smoking in 1960s, which can at best be a point in time statistic and in no way a good argument for smoking (actually it is a terrible argument).

Whether you can make a moral based argument for ads requires at least moral consistency. If you can truly say "I strongly believe ads are a driving force for the good in the society, and therefore I also choose to expose my kids to ads from a young age and would not mind them one day living in an apartment that is running ads on their walls 24/7" then you can at least hold a morally consistent position and I would applaud you for that.

I of course completely disagree with this position, and am doing whatever I can to protect my kids from exposure to ads from young age by limiting TV, paying for YouTube Premium, having them use an ad-free search engine, use a browser that has built in ad blocker and so forth. I teach them that companies never give away things for free unless it benefits them in some other way, and that in life you always get what you pay for.
The people writing the biggest checks to Wikimedia (and the former General Counsel for said org) not only have a specific political agenda, they literally only exist to promote that agenda and raise billions of dollars to do so. So are you asking me to provide access to a smoking gun handwritten letter (or maybe a video!) where they outline their plan of attack, or is there something else you were looking for?
