I think those two can ironically often go hand-in-hand.

You over value your self-importance which gives you ego/arrogance. Yet at the same time that self-importance with self-criticism leads to low self-esteem.

I think this is something that I often demonstrate. I feel the need to prove that I'm smart (ego), and I have very high standards for myself (low self-esteem, but it's getting better).

I'm not necessarily saying this is you, just that those two traits aren't mutually exclusive.

This is the answer. There's no equivalent of "grand theft auto" for bicycles, in fact... law enforcement simply doesn't care most of the time despite usage of things like AirTags or video evidence.

If bikes could park like cars and be safe, a lot more people would use bikes for errands. As it is I only use my bike (even my cheap one) when I can keep eyes on it from the store.
I want to say yes, but it depends on what you're actually doing as a final goal.

Detecting when a path is antagonistic to most GPU approaches takes time, as does preparing the data however it needs to be prepared on the CPU before being uploaded to the GPU. If you can just fill the whole thing on CPU in that time, you wasted your time even thinking about the GPU.

If you can identify a simple case quickly, it's probably totally a good idea to get the path done on the GPU unless you need to bring the pixels back to the CPU, maybe for writing to disk. The upload and then download can be way slower than just, again, filling on CPU.

If you're filling on GPU and then using on GPU (maybe as a web renderer or something), GPU is probably a big win. Except, this may not actually matter. If there is no need to re-render the path after the first time, it would be dumb to keep re-rendering on the GPU each frame / screen paint. Instead you'd want to put it into a texture. Well.... if you're only rendering once and putting into a texture, this whole conversation is maybe pointless? Then what is simple is probably the best idea. Anyway lots to 2d graphics that goes underappreciated!

> “And part of my hope by raising expectations and having more aggressive goals, and just kind of turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might just say that this place isn’t for you. And that self-selection is okay with me.”

Wow. Just. Wow.

Why not inject some more dysfunction into an already strained relationship with employees and callously but passively aggressively deal with a seriously broken hiring pipeline in the laziest way possible? If a company can't be bothered to set performance expectations that are measurable and actionable, but just expects to push people out by "turning up the heat", that's an abject failure of a workplace. There used to be things like quarterly/yearly performance reviews, ratings, even "performance improvement plans" for under-performing employees--you know, clear expectations, clear communications, criteria and steps and timelines put forward when someone is not meeting expectations.

You know, sometimes life happens to people and they slow down a quarter or two, maybe because of a family crisis, divorce, child, death in the family, traumatic event. Global pandemic? 2 years of isolation WFH? Yeah, there might be reasons...

But, from the top, the message "these people will find their way to the door if we make work suck enough"--I couldn't imagine anything more demoralizing.

A reduction in armed forces will not happen because all it does is weaken you for the next invasion. Russia will not be content with just the eastern parts of Ukraine. They need to take the entirety of it, or else the war would be pointless. A reduction in armed forces will never be on the table because it just guarantees a war you will lose.

I'm mostly down with the Mathematical Universe and might have independently reached that conclusion. I like to use the example of the Mandelbrot set - did that set/image/fractal exist prior to someone writing a program to create a map of it? I would argue that it did. So a mathematical object exists independently from our ever "discovering" it or its definition. That point of view quickly leads to "All things that have a mathematical definition exist in that same sense" which leads to "If there is a mathematical definition of our universe, that is sufficient cause for it to exist".

I do object to the talk of computability. Not all mathematically well-defined things are computable. I also don't like the following from the article:

>> Are we to take as serious the idea that we live inside an equation? And this equation somehow produces all computations by virtue of its solutions? And that the whole physical universe is just some kind of shared hallucination?

A mathematical definition is not limited to "an equation". What does he even mean by "produces all computations"? And then "shared hallucination" also seem nonsensical - we experience things however the definition allows/causes.

The only thing I grapple with is why we perceive the passage of time. If there is a mathematical definition of the entire span of the universe and time, that doesn't satisfy me in understanding why "I" am experiencing "now". Some might argue that a "simulation" is "running" but like the Mandelbrot set, the entire thing is defined at once by the definition, and any need to "run" it pushes the whole problem down one level (like where did god exist before he made the universe?) it's turtles all the way down. So while defining the universe over time might involve a definition that looks like a simulation, that still doesn't explain why we experience the simulation at a single point in time.
> instead they just made "SFSafariViewController" which does none of these things

Actually, SFSafariViewController acts as a full Safari without giving any ability to the developer to inject scripts or receive data to track you(except for ad taps through Private Click Measurement). It's actually a nice solution, it shares cookies(non-session ones) with Safari.
> It’s never been about the tools.

FCP 7 is a very powerful tool that many editors used for many years. It’s not like they edited Parasite in iMovie.

If anything, this shows how important good tools are for a professional. The filmmakers presumably didn’t “upgrade” to FCP X because part of experience is mastering your tools and knowing what you can get out of them. I’m sure the FCP codebase was ancient and becoming difficult to maintain (it used to run on Mac OS 9!) but the wholesale rewrite they did meant that professionals now had to throw out a lot of their tool-specific knowledge learn a brand new editor, whether that editor was Apple’s initially buggy and feature-incomplete one or Adobe Premier. Premier had its own issues, but it was already proven usable in industry, had been around long enough that switching meant you weren’t as much of a Guinea pig as you were going with FCP X, and unlike FCP 7 was actively maintained.

If Apple had gone for a modular rewrite of components of FCP 7, gradually modernizing the code and the interface, they could have avoided alienating a lot of their user base. I haven’t used FCP X so I can’t say if the end result was “worth it” but FCP 7 (and the prior versions) were such a dominant force in the industry, and now FCP X is just another player.

The answer to almost any question beginning with "why don't they" (or why didn't they), is almost always "money".

Producing, aggregating, storing, or otherwise adding value to information costs money. Operating the internet costs money. Providing access to data costs money.

People are lazy. Businesses on the internet have learned that they can extract more money from this vast pool of lazy people by presenting information rather than just providing information. By this, I mean that the value-add and/or lock-in of many internet businesses is tied to how the information is presented; adopting a standard format would be effort that would not be financially rewarded.

(by "lazy", I mean "looking for local minima in effort to accomplish whatever task that they're trying to do")

Finally, the web envisioned itself as a hypermedia system that incorporated presentation (and subsequently active content) instead of just semantic content. Since presentation is a property of the web, it was quickly adopted for the reasons described above and evolved into the modern web (which replaced the blink tag with shit tons of javascript, don't get me started).

Therefore the "semantic web" could never exist because "semantics" is fundamentally incompatible with "web". Once you invent the web, you can't have the semantic web anymore because money.

> Anti-money laundering laws may not prevent organized crime. But organized crime massively benefit from their absence. Solutions don't need to be 100% effective to be useful.

Yes but there should be a cost-benefit analysis. The current system of low reporting thresholds across the board and filing SARs on anything that moves does not produce actionable intelligence 95% of the time. No one is against BSA recordkeeping requirements for instance. I am against a system that treats everyone as guilty until proven innocent (thousands of people have had Paypal or Coinbase decide to freeze their funds indefinitely for "compliance reasons") and incentivizes "derisking" left and right. See https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/account-closed-how-bank-de-... (or https://archive.ph/D3amw).

UBO laws are a great example of poor cost-benefit analysis. Actual criminals will just get stolen identities or homeless people to put down as owners while the 99.9% of law abiding people have millions of unnecessary added compliance hours every year.

I know a couple in their 70s who literally just switched away from using their ISP email because the ISP is adopting Gmail for the email service.

Most non-technical people simply don't grasp how shockingly omniscient tech corps are. That said, sometimes it can take a while for them to understand, even with regular discussions on the subject.

It is not about deducting but adjusting. In an inflating currency with a constant profit margin, you are basically always going to report "record profits" because a 10% margin on $11 is nominally more than a 10% margin on $10 from a year ago but if the currency inflated 10% in that year, your profit isn't really record because it buys you the same amount of goods and services as it did a year ago.

It's not unusual for microchips inside missiles to have inadequate cooling by normal standards because in the time it takes for the chip to heat up the missile will have exploded.

Go look at an old handbook on batteries and you might find that 70% of the text is about different kind of "reserve batteries" that supply a lot of power for a missile for a short time.
Tangential, but these same links have always been a great way to break out of poorly designed kiosk systems.

There are two camps,

one that thinks you should use tools to generate HTML/JS and those tools should generate strict XML and any extra semantic data. The problem is that the actual users of these tools either don't care, or know about semantic HTML nor semantic data.

Then the other camp that thinks HTML should be written by hand which makes it small, simple and semantic (layout and design separated into CSS) without any div elements.
Hand-writing the semantic data in addition to the semantic HTML becomes too burdensome.
This seems like a silly way to do vector graphics in a shader.

What I've done in the past is representing the shape as a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_distance_function to allow each pixel to figure out if it is inside or outside the shape. This avoids the need to figure out the winding.

Anti-aliasing is implemented as a linear interpolation for values near zero. This also allows you to control the "thickness" of the shape boundary. The edge become mores blurry if you increase the lerp length.

This reminds me of a line in the Perl (Camel) book, fourth edition. It talked about infinite loops, and said that if you had an infinite loop in the guidance system of a cruise missile, the "infinite" loop would still terminate at the proper time. There was a footnote that said, "That is, the fallout from the loop will occur automatically."

Even coming from an attitude of being big on abstractions and generalized/scaled solutions, I cannot overstate the importance of writing a throw-away version at the outset. Hit the highlights, write it fast & dirty, use it, extend it a bit as you start to understand the system — then throw it away. Use that knowledge to design and build your real system, from scratch, but informed by your earned knowledge.

>>agile makes you iterate through pseudo productivity before you actually understood the problem, accumulating cruft that you need to maintain and extend as you go on.

And to this in the GP post, I think he identified a fundamental problem with Agile. Its entire bias is to write code fast, when the bias should be to avoid writing code — code is slow and habitat for bugs. Obviously everything requires code, but it should be minimized, not maximized. Of course, writing code quickly and seeing it run is satisfying, but developers' dopamine hits shouldn't be the primary driver of design & mgt - end performance should be, and that takes careful thought of what can be eliminated, and basing that thought on knowledge of a throw-away-version-1 is very useful, and pays benefits to both the dev team and to users for years.
I think the problem is that in the short term gamers signal their approval by buying skins, which is what he goes on to talk about later in the article. A metaverse where these skins are transportable game to game. He's trying to analog these outfits to outfits you would buy at a store.

Once gamers see how much they've dumped into things that will never produce anything of value, they're a bit ticked. Gamers who know other gamers who have done it I suspect are also ticked if they don't feel the short term peer pressure.

At some point the distribution will lean, but I think we're a ways away from that.

I just have a couple powerlinks in my bag when riding, which take very little space. It is also unlikely to have a chain break while riding, however having a chain breaker tool and spare links comes in handy if your rear derailleur gives up the ghost (due to a fall etc), as in that case you can bypass it entirely with a shortened chain.
I think Android's "custom tabs" functionality is a great compromise. Apps can open a separate instance of the user's default browser which becomes part of the app's activity stack and doesn't share tabs with the main browser instance. However the UI and navigation are controlled by the browser, not the app. Cookies and local storage are also shared with the main browser instance, allowing seamless SSO without the app being able to intercept the secrets.

AFAIK iOS supports something similar, but only for authentication use cases.

Yeah I had to skim through it as well. I think the author probably has written something that has passed peer review, but has either written so many such things that he has gotten sick of terseness and getting to the point, or so few things that he has not learned to value it in the first place? Like the writing is not god-awful like a lot of the crackpot takes, but it's definitely tortuous.

As a theory goes, I don't think this one is successful. It probably either implies that time is an illusion or that we are all Boltzmann brains, and I would take it as a baseline desideratum that our fundamental understanding of the universe does not come in either of these shapes. (Both essentially state “actions don't exist” in different ways, and if the universe is the place where activities occur, the place where things happen, then the idea that nothing is really happening in there appears to fail hard.)

3D vector graphics are not as full featured as 2d vector graphics.

2d vector graphics include things like "bones" and "tweening", which are CPU algorithms. (Much like how bone processing in 3d world is also CPU-side processing).

---------

Consider the creation of a Beizer curve, in 2d or 3d. Do you expect this to be a CPU algorithm, or GPU algorithm? Answer: clearly a CPU algorithm.

GPU algorithms generally are triangle-only, or close to it (ex: quads) as far as geometry. Sure, there are geometry shaders, but I don't think its common practice to take a Beizer Curve definition and write a Tesselator-shader for it and output (in parallel) a set of verticies. (And if someone is doing that, I'm interested in heading / learning more about it. It seems like a parallelizable algorithm to me but the devil is always in the details...).
Question, how did mobile gaming, a medium of games that runs on devices almost everybody has on them at all times completely destroy consumer confidence in the medium and atrophy innovation and growth in said medium for years and years?

The answer?

It was full of people like Justin Kan that look into the future of gaming and had such miserable imaginations that all they could envision larger, more predatory monetization models instead of yah know... new games and new experiences.

Maybe crypto bullshit is the future of video games, but that will only be because capitalism burned out and exploited every last passionate game developer who wanted to make a good game because they love games.
