> Ship an entire physical PC to the user pre-loaded with the application?

A phone (hi iOS), a video game console, a smart appliance, etc. are examples of this.

Building cross platform, native applications is expensive (comparatively) to building web applications.

I made an FM synthesizer in the browser using WASM and the webaudio api just for personal use. I wouldn't have made it if I had to write it as a native app, because native apps are a time sink and annoyance to me (I mean, I'm on linux anyways. I probably have to use either GTK or QT anyways!!!)

Demand for software is MASSIVE right now, and making shipping easier, even if the end product isn't as fast, does have value.

Though yeah, I wish Slack was faster too.
Here comes price hikes. This is why I kept asking these guys if they had a lifetime sub.
Well, the goal of software is to solve a problem or enable a usecase. It’s not to “write code”.

I am experienced in tons of software programming paradigms and languages, but I couldn’t care less about the details if it doesn’t enable me to output something useful.
Figuring out the size of this data was part of the research phase for doing just that: building out that database. I'm curious to know if other people are already working on it (maybe Turquoise Health?)
MSVC, inline Assembly is only available on x86 mode, everywhere else requires compiler intrisics or MASM.
It also scales with increased qualifiers:

Perhaps we’re each familiar with different codes or perhaps they do things differently where you are?

I spent 4 years as a commercial superintendent on various projects in the Caribbean, Dubai, and the DFW.

None of those projects would have any difficulty adding plumbing wherever they wish.
I can't get over the fact, that he is using "a public internet URL" to tunnel the traffic to his local server, just to watch it on his phone.
What he should have done:
- Make his local server listen on his local ip like <<local-lan-ip>>:3000 instead of just 127.0.0.1:3000
- Connect his cellphone to his local lan with wifi.
- Look at the site on <<local-lan-ip>>:3000 on his cellphone.

I would never make a connection from a public Domain to my local machine just to test something. It's just too risky.
You open the site and read, what else do you need?
The businesses literally shut down because of that? They were that stubborn? Or they noticed it too late?
Americans overwhelmingly prefer single-family detached homes when given other options. How is choosing a higher-quality of life option “wasted”?
They did it extensively in lower Manhattan after 9/11 I thought?

The layout doesn't seem so terrible, minus the plumbing and heating concerns.

> It does much more than airing out. It will completely clear up cigarette smell from an apartment that had indoor smoking

As will surface cleaning and repainting porous surfaces that held the cigarette tar, but without the side effects of ozone like the release of additional VOCs from other materials it reacts with. Either way, completely airing out the space is a necessity.
Yikes. Probably has something to do with a regex on the word "hack".
Actually it makes a lot more sense than may appear at first glance.

Heat pumps are incredibly efficient. So much so that burning natural gas to generate electricity to power a heat pump is more efficient than burning the gas directly to create heat.

So even if we were to discount renewables entirely and change all natural gas furnaces to heat pumped powered by natural gas on the grid, we'd still come out ahead.
So you'd buy a heat pump, but you don't want to buy the radiators for the heat pump? Why? If you like the look of steam radiators (and all of the burn/leak hazards that come with that), just keep the radiators and lose the steam.

The difficulty in replacing things like steam radiators is that installing ducts in an existing house is too expensive and difficult. Multi-zone heat pumps let you avoid that.
Sublime. All of the people who hated working in an open office are screaming at the idea of living in one.
Worked for a company once who boasted surviving the hard times of the dot com bubble by selling their headquarters and renting it back until things got better.

Has this happened yet or are owners still holding onto their real estate for own use?
Except that these CO2 emissions are exactly balanced by CO2 absorption by the plants that produced our food.

If you are objecting to food produced directly from fossil fuels, or methane emissions in agriculture, then yes those are valid targets to be addressed.
But doing reasonable things without deference to “how things have always worked in our society” is unconscionable.

Think of the loss of figurative identity a minority of landlords might incur!
> why it is difficult

The argument in the Washingtonian hints at a policy solution. It cites a "lack windows on at least two sides" with cavernous floors making "direct natural light" rare. The "complexity of adding hundreds of bathrooms and kitchens (not to mention the accompanying venting and plumbing)" is real. "Turning rooftops into amenity spaces" is not.

So yes, these aren't going to become luxury apartments. Will they have less direct sunlight and no rooftop garden? Yes. Are those remotely necessary? Of course not. Fewer windows doesn't mean no windows; this isn't a safety issue. We will probably need code amendments. But that would require political will to legalize affordable housing.
? that's uncalled for. It's called the right tool for the job and not introducing the fucking environment into my heating system more than necessary at 200-300" of snow per year and regular -20F or -30F nights.

I would love to use a hyper efficient heat pump solution so I'm asking the questions here.
Being pedantic, it is either true and completely useless, xor false. Feel free to believe any of the options, it won’t make a sane vector implementation in the language possible for generic datatypes.
So, this is me reaching back aways in memory. Walls with plumbing through them are held to different standards to other walls. Walls with plumbing use 2 by 6s. Builders and architects try to optimize by making as few walls as possible walls with plumbing because they are more expensive. Your regular walls use 2 by 4s.

So yes, some walls have plumbing running through them, but not all. Any architect and contractor will try to optimize cost by having as few walls as possible with plumbing. Which is why in some apartments, neighboring bathrooms in units will be close or share some wall space.
I personally _love_ how the browser is becoming a very well-featured sandbox for shipping applications.

For me the big thing holding it back is IndexedDB.

Actually in the process of designing a software solution that needs to work on desktop and mobile, and be able to write mission critical data while offline.

As much as I'd love to just make one responsive web app - I just can't trust the safari or even chrome browsers to not /dev/null users data if it feels like it.
What's the ultimate goal of these companies? Of any company?

I find that it's very difficult to know, truly, what these mega corporations want. What does apple want? For everyone to use apple? Probably not, if this was the case they would be releasing much cheaper products.

So I think companies have a market segment they want to dominate, and of course there are some areas of conflict. Say, twitch is owned by Amazon and Google with YouTube also feels part of that space is owned to them. In this sense, they are no different to another form of social organisation we are fairly acquainted with: empires.

Now, why couldn't everyone just form their own society back in the day and live chill and not submit themselves to the rule of the empire? Well, the answer to that is that if the empire felt you belonged to them then they would simply swallow you.

So, to answer your question, people are building their own businesses but as soon as these become threatening in any way to the empires that rule these lands then these businesses are squashed. But that's exactly what is supposed to happen, if you can't take on the pressure then such is life.

I guess the sad news is that, even today, we still have empires ruling over us. But I would argue that quality of life, inequality, social liberties have all gotten better with every passing empire. What does the future of business look like? I'm not sure.

Bridge jumper JPVGA1 directly on the motherboard and it will disable the onboard VGA. Switch BMC priority from onboard (default) to offboard, I don't think this is necessary if you bridge JPVGA1.

Get yourself a nice Highpoint USB 3.0 card with quad controllers on each port. 20Gbps of bandwidth in aggregate.

I believe there is a jumper on the motherboard that will bridge the missing PCIe slots in single CPU configuration.
I see plumbing exposed in the ceiling in some of the cool fancy new lofts that were converted from offices (in NYC).
Same, I even remember paying for LastPass for a bit. It was more that I wanted to support a service I liked (same reason I pay for other services). Though I find BW's paid model a bit surprising. I know it is only $10/yr, but the only real value here is 1GB storage and yubi/fido keys. I don't have yubi keys (they seem cool but also a pain in the ass) and 1GB seems rather small.

Looking at Google, Dropbox, and Apple, storage pricings range from 4GB/$ (Apple) to 20GB/$ (Google's 5+TB plans). I'm willing to bet that offering 5GB would make it more worthwhile and a very small fraction of your users would actually use it. What are you going to store? Your passport photo and driver's license? I wonder if there would be a psychological effect here because it is really hard to tell if 1GB is enough or not. At least your average person has no idea.
Congrats on the launch! Does all this run in Steamship's own AWS cloud, or on the customer's own private AWS cloud? Perhaps the latter is a "premium" feature.

And I assume AWS is completely dominant in this space? I.e. no Azure or Google Cloud...
The code for the server is AGPLv3 https://github.com/bitwarden/server , with only things in the /bitwarden_license/ directory being proprietary.

The code for the mobile apps is GPLv3 https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

The code for the clients is GPLv3 https://github.com/bitwarden/clients

These are all copyleft... with a CLA (contributor license agreement). It's the CLA that allows them the ability to dual-license for the server.

The VCs must really believe the company can produce a product based on Enterprise sales which would deliver a value North of $1B. And perhaps they can, as Bitwarden as we know it could be considered a strong beachhead to allow them to expand into other auth markets that have high value (hello Okta, Auth0, etc).

But this doesn't seem that scary for Bitwarden users at this point.
Are those numbers reversed?

I believe he used to print them out, so perhaps we should consider at least reading them via an email client to be some sort of progress.

Where I live in the UK, they've converted multiple office blocks to student accommodation. They are also tearing down block of flats due to other structure issues. Generally it's easier to build housing on green field rather than brown sites due to contamination etc. Once you convert the office to housing, when you need office space you'll have to build it somewhere

> if you're not building the next big thing, you're not contributing to society.

I think we can all agree that any book written about the Fall of Google is going to focus pretty strongly on their lack of a maintenance culture. Building bridges is great, but if the opening of the bridge was a major event for a town, the subsequent closure of said bridge will be an even bigger event.

When work is going smoothly, the story I'm working on this week is often of a lower priority than the one I worked on two months ago. The major exception being when the current story was blocked by dependencies. A lot of invention comes down to people noticing that ideas have been unblocked. But while the new gadget or surgery can have life altering effects, so can the collapse of infrastructure for food, water, and shelter. Those always need minders or society would unravel.
> We live in a democracy. The underlying problem of government is voters.

Pretty sure dictatorships have the same problem with improper zoning.

Even bigger, most of the buildings are highly leveraged. There literally is no incentive unless the mortgages can be restructured, as the ultimate prices will be forwarded to the renter.

Everyone’s underwater a there isn’t a good solution without massive price decrease (crash) or commercial space demand re-invigorates.
I generally have the same rule of thumb; not a crash until down 50% from peak. But housing is leveraged. It’s not like stock where few people have margin accounts, a 20% reversion sends most people who bought recently underwater. Plus the size of the real estate market is much bigger than the stock market. The flow-on reverse wealth effect will feel like a stock crash to many people.
I guess I just found an interview question. Thanks!
There is a large difference between a preference and a mandate. The city of San Francisco requires this development pattern. It is not known whether the owners prefer it or not. The existence of pre-down-zoning apartment buildings in this area of town suggests that the preference is not universal.
meh, I'd prefer the raw data. We can always create DBs out of the raw data, we can always link data. Handling this after the fact would be impossible.

Linking a few trillion records doesn't seem that difficult. It should be doable with a good data warehouse and a reasonable entity linking model. I suspect that we'll find more than a few instances of fraudulent behavior once the data is linked.

My father was nearly pushed into ~2 Million dollars worth of brain surgery that was unnecessary. Not only was the procedure unnecessary, the price for it was >5X what a top-3 hospital would have charged. I only became privy to this once I pushed him to come to Mass General Hospital (MGH) for a second opinion. The surgeon we saw at MGH also believed the suggested procedure to be dangerous.

I wonder if it's possible to cross-reference mortality/complication rates with prices...
Looking at the minimum outside temperature is not what you should do when computing the efficiency of the system. You look at the efficiency suitably averaged over the year. Most of the time you will not be anywhere close to -30 F.
In a way I'm glad that a large chunk of San Francisco's population is getting exactly what they have wanted for years – to get rid of big tech takeover of the city. Maybe they will actually fare better with a significantly reduced number of tech workers and jobs, or maybe they won't. At least we'll know for certain now, and can stop all the whining.
> If we still use math 100 years from now, we'll still use SQL.

Those are incongruent. Do you mean Western notation?

> It's a fine way to query relational data

It's quirky, but good enough for ad-hoc queries that I think it will be hard to overcome the momentum in that area.

It's not fine for application work, where you need things like composition. We've tried to solve those problems with ORMs, but the ORM is starting to fall out of fashion due to a number of problems of its own. SQL is not a great compiler target. I do eventually see something lower level built for programmers, not data analysts, rising up here. If SQL is compared to Javascript, something akin to WASM, perhaps.
Easiest way, you make them sign an agreement during peace negotiations. Maybe even just demonstrating that you are serious and what the consequences are might act as a deterant for at least some time. Install a pro Russian government.

You are right, nothing will guarantee that they never become a NATO member, but for some time is a plausible goal. Even just being in an active conflict prevents a NATO membership unless the rules are changed which is what Crimea and eastern Ukraine achieved since 2014.
Many people love to travel to exotic far-away destinations in the US too. Many of these people look down their nose at people in the suburbs who drive large SUVs as being wasteful. People always want others to do the sacrificing.
Yes, I know. (I'm more bothered by the space in calls rather than this, though this is not my favourite way)

Or:

You can use ctags (like the Linux kernel)

or just grep for something like (egrep) '^[a-z]+ .+foo\(' if you're really bothered by grepping function calls instead of only definitions

> most of the buildings are highly leveraged. There literally is no incentive unless the mortgages can be restructured, as the ultimate prices will be forwarded to the renter.

This is what recessions are useful for. Underwater mortgages still need to be serviced. There might be a deal in providing assistance to the lender in exchange for financing conversion.
Nice! I remember way back when studying Karpathy’s character RNN code, a great study resource. Looking forwards to understanding this example also!
In a world where the average hardware cycle is 1-2 years, the software cycle before obsoletion is 3-5, perpetual subscription is the only way. Software written today for consumer devices like iPhones and Android devices will break is 2-3 years if not maintained, and often much sooner than that.

It sucks. Gone are the days where you could buy Microsoft Office and run it for 10-15 years.
Cost isn't the only thing. Tearing down and rebuilding is probably much slower than conversion.
How many times has this been predicted in my lifetime?
Safety will always be a top argument to constrain and block off new housing. Look at current building codes. Sure all those things make us safer -- if you ignore the homeless left on the streets and the people who no longer have money left over for good food, education, and healthcare after paying the high price it costs to build an up-to-code house in America.

You can restrict housing practically as tight as you want by raising permitting requirements, safety assessments, and safety factors and other safety features until it's practically impossible for anyone but the rich to build.

There are people out there that would be safer in a run-down tinder-box shack than an up to code and zoned house. Not because the house is safer, but because it allows them to have an affordable roof over their head and round out their finances for other things that bring them wellbeing. Building and zoning codes fail to account for this.
The one I was most familiar with was a business that edited wedding photos and videos. The owner insisted that each employee be on site each day.

There were other factors too such as the fact that he forced them to work on Windows machines when each employee had M1 Macs at home.

He made the fatal mistake of saying “if you don’t like it, go start your own business.”

Well, two of them did. My wife and I gave them the money they needed to do a bit of marketing and hooked them up with our attorneys. Now they work wherever they wish.

The owner made a lot of entertaining social media posts afterwards about how lazy workers are ruining this country. The guy was a walking stereotype

If you want that behavior, you should explicitly enable it/disable it at the borders of the region where you want that behavior, rather than screwing over everybody for your own benefit.
Postgres has done an incredible job optimizing both the overall performance of queries and the query planner - but these things make mistakes still and being able to fix those mistakes can make the difference between a two minute query and a twenty milisecond query - this comes with the fact that complex database operations can usually make or break overall response times, and these optimizations usually depend on statistic accuracy which can be hard to ensure.

If SQL optimization was as good as compilers I'd be all on this train, but I just don't think we're there yet.
That's mainly how renovations go. Just easier to have the demo team demo and then have the trades come in and do their thing. Working around existing infrastructure and integrating with it is unpredictable and messy. Not to mention, once you touch something you have to bring it up to code so best to leave it alone or replace it entirely.

I did a renovation once where the idea was to preserve a few of the old wood windows that would be lost due to the nature of the renovation. The original idea was to reuse them and move them into the new renovated space and install them. Turned out it was going to cost more to carefully remove them, fit them, etc than just buying the highest end Marvin windows. So new windows were purchased and the old ones are used for parts now.
These people want you starving, freezing, homeless, and, frankly, dead. I hope everyone plans accordingly.

You are the carbon they want to eliminate.
> On the other hand russians have nothing left to blackmail Europe.

that's a very naive way of looking at economic interdependence, even more naive than the view of politicians half a year ago that led Europe to the current energy crisis. How about european aerospace industry's need for titanium and aluminium? [1] There are several important resource markets where Russia has a significant share of the supply pie [2]. Metals and fertilizers to name a few. Politicians know that but are acting as if they don't, and the public has better start asking them for more than just knee-jerk reactions with economic sanctions that mostly hurt key european industries and numerous households that depend on these industries.
