Your'e being downvoted, but I for one agree wholly with the point you make.

I don't doubt filmmaking has always, in the end, been about business or they wouldn't be made. But the captains of the film industry, perhaps in optimizing profit, seem to be all circling the same kind of flashy, effects-laden action film.

I've heard people suggest it's a result of the "globalization of the industry", that action films with "effects > dialog" sells to a Chinese audience, for example. Perhaps there is some truth to it (if so, it suggests again studios optimizing for profit).

I've been on a "1001 Films To See Before You Die" tear for a few years now and it is hard not to see many of these old films and sigh, "When would Hollywood ever make a film like this today?"

Please, can we have another, another "new wave"? More indie cinema please. This market has been ripe for disruption since the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise took root.
> This is a dealbreaker for most developers working on Windows

How many developers are really working on Windows? That's got to be a rounding-error of zero.

There are so many programming tools with basic or non-existent support for Windows and nobody notices.
It was crazy and out there, like the comics are - which is what I love in Marvel. The scene where Dr Strange commands the dead in another universe is like absolute peak enjoyment for me. The worst marvel film for me is Civil War since it's so.....grounded(closely followed by Ragnarok, but that's purely because I can't stand Waititi's humour)

I've watched it 3 times now and I still love it - it's their best film since Infinity War, everything else after that was very much meh.
I felt completely left out, because although I had seen the last Spiderman movie, I hadn't watched Wandavision or half of the TV shows. It was like trying to follow a game in a sport you only have a casual interest in: you kind of know the rules but have no idea who the main teams or players are or who is up or down in the league, so your enjoyment is limited to the occasional good goal or pass (or VFX shot in this case).

In contrast to DC movies - very hit and miss in quality, but you can at least watch a movie without having to follow a dozen other TV shows and other films in the franchise.
You may like the shakey cam, and that's fine naturally, but claiming age has something to do with it is weird. It is also unfair to call me grouchy.

All I know is that shakey cam is incredibly unreal to me. I have never, in my entire life, experienced scenarios where my vision was like a shakey cam, and I say this as someone with a history of racing, stunt driving, and a variety of athletic activities which jostles one about.

When in such real life situations, my body senses motion, my brain sorts it out, and there is no shakey cam effect.

I liken it to making a sound track for a movie, but imagine two people talking, while someone randomly cranks the audio up and down, and changes the aurial position of the speaker randomly.

Sure, that's going to create tension and stress in the movie goer too, but it draws one out of immersion, and is just lazy work.

Intensity can be created with real actual intensity, the shakey cam is a crutch.

For what it’s worth, I’m not saying that confidence (even hubris!) is bad! Without his confidence, said senior engineer probably wouldn’t have built his successful project.

A HugSQL-inspired database library for Python
I got a PHP gig recently (after working as a Go developer for some time), and this rings very true to me. In PHP you often have to make the most of your database, and this tends to result in a far more enjoyable codebase experience.
The engine (V8 analog) is not a "Zig engine", it's javascriptcore. The wrapper is Zig, like node is C/C++ and deno is Rust.
> That's also why the leap second correction is not a big deal because it just happens when computers sync. A few seconds correction is just a routine correction. Happens all the time.

That may be how things work for someone's word processor appliance, but on Linux/etc. NTPD or chrony continually estimate your local clocks drift and compensate for it and change their polling rate as a function of uncertainty (e.g. from temperature effects). They save the estimate drift rate in a persistent file on disk (chrony can optionally compensate for temperature effects; see tempcomp in the manpage).

On some random supermicro server here the crhony drift file says that the clock is slow by -33.208515 parts per million (not atypical for a non-temp-compensated oscillator), with an uncertainty of 0.031571 in that measurement.

As a result other than leap seconds there is no discontinuity in your local time, no few seconds correction that you suggest. Just a continuous clock that is steered smoothly to agree with UTC.

This is really important when you're dealing with subsecond events that must be synchronized among distributed systems.

Hosts on my network here that have no special handling of their time keeping will have time that agrees with each other within +/- 100 microseconds (and with UTC, for that matter, thanks to the local gps disciplined clock). Without a local GPS clock you'll get extra uncertainty from network path asymmetry, but that uncertainty is limited to the round trip time... which is a lot less than 1s if your network is at all usable interactively. :)

A 1 second jump would be gargantuan.

For many applications +/- 1 second is fine. But for others it isn't fine. Modern computers with network time available should have no problem being accurate much much better than 1 second.
That article seems to be offering legal advice, but from a technical perspective is awful: it throws multiple types of IP law into a blender and then discusses IP like it's one thing, incorrectly. Of the types mentioned, only trademark must be enforced to preserve one's rights. Both patents and copyright have no such requirement, and Apple's claim here would be copyright-based.

In any case, Apple is within their rights to assert that telemoji are an unlicensed derivative work of Apple's emoji, but they aren't compelled to enforce that to keep their copyright.
Because being a small project with limited resources requires devs be as resource efficient as possible. Docs, demos, tuts are all super important but it creates an additional maintenance overhead - if they are not maintained up to date, they become worthless.

So for the early stages of a project it makes sense to keep the overhead low and work with a small group of focussed early adopters.

As projects grow, mature and become more stable, more investment into learning material becomes important. Doing it too early burns valuable resources.
> So this article contains no information besides “update was held up” which must happen all the time.

The thing is, Apple is infamous for holding up or rejecting application updates without providing clear transparency on why (e.g. "needs further review because we noticed something and need to clear that internally", "we're under backlog", "we suspect you violate rule XYZ") and no reasonable way to appeal to an external authority (=a legitimate court) in the case of a dispute, particularly if you are outside of teh US.

Deno Won’t Replace Node
I am arguing that it is futile to see it as a loan to the bank.

* There is no "lending" risk by depositing your money, only the currency risk (government insured deposits)
* Banks provide critical infrastructure to transfer funds mandated to be used by the government.
* It is even called deposits when you add money to you account, not a loan.
* In Denmark we, still, have negative interests on deposits (at -0.6%, also for consumers) -- lending out is mandated to cost interests as in the tax authorities will force me to add interests at ~2.5% when I give a loan to somebody.

All in all, depositing money in a modern bank should not be seen as providing a loan.

Yes the corporations are a representative. Some are fully owned by a one or few people so their ethics align with those people for better or worse. Others are run by boards for shareholders but those board members ethics would come into play there. Then there are associations that lobby. So it is people but various groups acting in complex and different ways.
Next-Generation Evolutionary Search, Learning and Planning
One point regarding Goldeneye and fx generally. From a lay persons perspective Goldeneye has pretty snappy pacing so from memory some of the sets, such as the starting chemical plant explosion look a little fake, but the movie just chuggs along and and has a fairly good storyline that doesn't stall out.

I find I notice effects a lot more in movies when the story has flat spots. And as I learn more and more about visual story telling. All I think about when watching movies that go heavy on stunts and action "how does this progress the storyline".

Even today, Webex, the closest thing to a standard that existed before Zoom became mainstream, sucks. The UX is shit, it's slow, has bugs like forgetting to turn off audio input after the call is over or having to turn on the camera to unmute, etc. It was a Java based app before, and it only worked on Windows (and at some later point in a limited capacity for mac).

Zoom has less friction, the installer just works on all platforms, and there are less noticeable bugs.

IRC may do this better than some other platforms depending on how you use it but I don’t think it’s ideal. In particular, most times when I’ve used IRC the social norm is to use a bouncer to stay connected persistently. Even in the absence of that, the fact that you can be joined to multiple channels simultaneously means you have some of the same issues as Slack of having to keep up with the goings-on in several channels.

I think the Discord setup mentioned in the OP feels like a “place” because when you’re joined to one room, you’re crucially not in any of the others. You can do this with IRC but it’s not very natural. Honestly, I think the place where that interaction style would feel most natural is in a MUD.

Bun is currently lacking workers, which at least for me is a dealbreaker. I'd also think it'd be interesting to compare against justjs when it comes to speed, since that is a very small wrapper around V8 (much smaller than node/deno) and manages to score extremely high on techempower benchmarks (top 25 on all, first/second spot on a few): https://just.billywhizz.io/blog/on-javascript-performance-01...

A lot of resonance with software.

I worked for hardware manufacturers for all my career.

It involved a brazen disdain for software, yet also an assumption that hardware defects could be "spackled over," using "magic" software.

I really enjoyed the VFX in Miss Marvel. They obviously really enjoyed their job, and they had the advantage of not having to look "real."
ICE engines convert less than 40% of gasoline's energy into movement, and the rest is lost as heat. This inefficiency is unfixable: the waste heat can't be avoided in a combustion engine. In cars there isn't enough space and carrying capacity for a steam turbine that could make a good use of the heat. In a stationary power plant, there is.

Stationary power plants are incredibly efficient, to the point that burning gasoline and transmitting electricity to an EV is still way more efficient than burning gasoline in a car.

You may be mixing up things with natural gas used for heating. Fuel -> heat is most efficient at the destination. But ICE cars don't run on heat, they radiate it away as waste.

It's actually just a really good book about programming, with both "high-level" but also really practical advice (how to attack performance issues, how to debug). The examples are all really fun to build and extend. In fact I'm going through it again currently (I kickstarted a datalog compiler off of the prolog compiler chapter).

"The Hadza people eat no processed foods, are rarely exposed to antibiotics, and live seasonally, eating more meat in the dry season and a predominantly plant-based, high-fibre diet in the wet season. "
"The staples of their diet include the baobab tree, high-fibre tuber roots, berries, fresh honey, and various meats from hunting. A common dish is a soup made from the baobab fruit, something renowned microbiologist Tim Spector sampled while living with them. Just one helping of this creamy mixture contains more fibre than the average Westerner gets in a day!"

And yet there isn't one out there, there's pretty much only ZFS and BTRFS, the latter having been in a state of almost-but-not-actually-working for over a decade now.

bcachefs is the only contender and it remains a single-developer effort with little mainlining progress in the last few years.
I should maybe have used another word. Mathematica has changed a lot (mostly by accruing functionality) that a lot of these examples seem old in the way they're written. The content is just as good as ever, and nothing beats fundamentals anyway.

> How did a blockade around Taiwan turn into a global maritime halt?

Not a halt but increase of costs. 2/3 of world trade is near Taiwan. The insurance premiums will skyrocket. USA aka World Police will be busy with China, which will lead to tensions in other places and piracy. Business will pick rail if it's a bit more expensive (say 20%) and you get products faster.
Until fairly recently, if you opened the PulseAudio volume control app while in a Teams call, the volume slider for the call would be labelled as Skype. That's a name that the sound-producing software hands to PulseAudio, and is reasonable evidence that Microsoft basically ripped the back-end out of Skype and shoved it into Teams and forgot to change what it thought its name was.
Pretty sure it's been proven that no deterministic theory can reproduce all the predictions of quantum mechanics. That's the essence of Bell's theorem isn't it?

I'd argue if should replace as. The point being docs are all but essential for growth (and added participation). To neglect them is self-defeating.

Put another way: Docs are an investment. They have a known return.

Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, Postal, Detective Pikachu, Sonic 1&2. Not necessary the greatest of cinema, but all of them did a good job of turning the source material into a movie. Probably helps that the source material of all of them is relative simple and leaves plenty of room for interpretation.

Also Steins;Gate, though that's a visual novel turned anime, not a regular game. But probably the best example of staying very close to the source material and succeeding.
Author here. We had no requirements to use this system so people frequently left their “office” to get some concentration time in. Some folks were rarely or never “in”, which was completely fine. (The company even had a standing “all meetings are optional” rule.)
in modern times everyone has become an aristocrat if you compare disposable time and means available to experiment and access to information.
The author argues that only TAI would make sense to an alien civilization, but I don't think that's true at all. I think they miss the fact that it also is only defined within the reference frame of the Earth and also that it depends on many technically subtle aspects.

Especially if one only wants to communicate times between the civilizations, such as meet here at 13:00 in exactly three years from now.
This is much easier to communicate based on rotation angles of the Earth than on a atomic time scale that would need to be transferred very precisely to be useful at all.
