I own one of these. My first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer (which I still have in my garage), and then later I went to college for journalism and worked at a newspaper for a while, and the Model 100 was a must have for any professional reporter. These things were used regularly well into the 90s. We got to check out one of the shared M100s if we were covering an event which needed quick turnaround. I remember sitting in the bleachers of a college basketball game typing up a story feeling very cool.

I absolutely lusted after one to have for my own, but couldn't afford it when they were new. Then they became underpowered anachronisms and I just made do with fond memories.

About a decade after I became a developer/techie (my true calling), the Model 100 was one of those things that I decided I just had to own, so in the 2000s sometime, I found one one eBay and bought it. I've pulled it out a few times to play and it just gives me joy to own one. One of those life goals I got to check off.

I can't believe how little memory it has though! I wanted to use it to type up a blog post about it, and I ran out of space almost immediately! I think mine has 24k, and not all of it is available. It's insanely tiny. (See how long this comment is? I always write like this... A result of my original career.)

The article is pretty short, but actually has some cool info! So much stuff I never knew about the M100. The display system is crazy. The link to the manual is awesome - it never dawned on me to look. I may have to pull it out of it's box I'm the garage and mess with it.
A healthy company will adjust one of the three axis. Lots of companies will act like their project is a make or break moment, but in reality it is management setting un-realistic deadlines. When the companies fall into the later category, if the developers decide to not play along management will threaten to, or actually will fire, not promote etc. the people dissenting against the craziness.
Easy to say "move to another", but what offers comparable functionality?

The vulnerability does not seem that serious to me... isn't it going to be pretty obvious if it gets exploited with this description?

> An attacker may exploit the vulnerability to get the extension to crash or cause memory exhaustion according to the researcher. When the extension crashes, users are left without protection until it is reloaded.

So I'm going to start seeing a bunch of ads as my clue, right?

The article you linked has plenty of information in the comments, it's actually a good resource.

I actually had someone take one of my personal iOS apps from GitHub (https://github.com/wcochran/calfoo) and submit it to the app store as if it was theirs. Someone else told me -- I was gobsmacked that someone was so brazen. Oh well, I didn't license it. It had special features that only mattered to me (and would be inappropriate for general use).
Blekko (2007-2015) did that -- apparently it wasn't enough for commercial success.
Great feedback.

We do want to speak to folks building new applications as Tigris takes away the infrastructure burden completely from the start. We want to bring the same API experience to "data" as you get when using Stripe API for financial transactions.

Migration is often times necessary. In my experience I have seen countless examples of migrations once an application becomes popular and the backend technology choices at that point either become brittle (hard to keep adding new app features), or do not scale. So I wouldn't categorize it as marginal maintenance cost.

The video, I agree could be improved. Because the pain is not just seen at the maintenance stage, it is felt at every step that you add a new technology to you stack.

Regarding your other comment about "people will go with whatever the default tool". It is actually the opposite, if you give people the choice they will stick to far fewer technologies :) This is why when you see someone building a top Postgres, as an example, initially they use it for the OLTP workloads, then they use it for the full-text search use cases (knowing fully well there is a better alternative because PG is not a search engine), or use it for analytics (even though there are other special-purpose analytical products), or use it for modeling event stream (even though again there is a special-purpose product available for event streaming). This is how application architectures organically grow, and the reason this happens is exactly because it is much easier (development time-wise and maintenance-wise) for me to continue to use X until it is unsustainable.
And this is where we are coming from. We want to be that general purpose solution that you can continue to use to build up your application and it will grow/evolve with you.

We did prepare this use-case video, I am curious to hear your thoughts: https://youtu.be/G489hasvgio

Why would ET cost that much money?
No amortization problem, it follows the ownership/stock sale, just like your house or your car, a gallon of gasoline, or anything else you buy/sell. So when you sell your stock the embedded value/energy goes with it. If you received dividends, and spent it then that probably had some embedded energy too. If you have money in the bank, then that earns interest which you'll spend/save, and if you own Gov bonds then you own part of the government, which has spent lots directly on concrete and oil. None of that concrete is free (you could argue they should get credits for all the un-cut trees grown on federal land though).

Even donations to charity have carbon footprint. Imagine you give to a charity that pays gas bills for poor people. Those people didn't buy that oil/gas. The one giving to charity did.

You earn money, you spend money, you save money, you give away money... that money gets spent on objects with embedded carbon. Unless you want to say that corporations get a free pass, or the government gets a free pass, or banks get a free pass, or wealthy people get a free pass. Just like taxes... maybe the monarchy gets a free pass?

Now there's still a way to game it, which is to have your company pay for everything. Just like cheating on your taxes, if you have no income and everything is held in a corp, then whoever holds the corp owns your carbon production.
I second the idea of emailing dang. Most of the time the reply is just "Users flagged it".

I didn't flag it, so I have to guess. The title promise more than what the post deliver. It looks like an interesting idea, but it would be better if each Pokemon was more similar to the flag of the country or to a common estereotipe of the country. Most look pokemonky, but too generic. It's difficult to look at one and guess the country.

My experience is the same as yours. I wonder if there’s some giant A/B test going on.
Is it just a server process sitting in front of the db?

All this “docker this” and “docker that” I can’t tell what things do anymore. I assume the docker image does a whole lot of magic to get things to work that one would have to reproduce to run this on a bare VM they have sitting around.

I’m not trying to be negative here, this looks like something I’ve had rattling around in my head for a while but haven’t had the time to figure out how to make. Well, my imaginary version is based on graphQL (and not written in JavaScript like every other graphQL thing) simply because I want to try out graphQL and no other reason.

Oh, and a python client library would be nice but I can knock something out on my own to play around with this when I get some free time.
I also don't want to be recommended videos I've already watched. If it's something I might want to see again then I save it in a playlist, I don't need YouTube pestering me to re-watch old stuff.
There are a lot of roads around Austin that are FM (some number). The “FM” means Farm-to-Market, and they literally were built from little farming towns through miles of fields into larger towns.

Some of those little farming towns are now rapidly frowning suburbs, teeming with housing tracts, and those fields are now shopping center upon shopping center.
Depends on the level of detail provided. That much detail isn't necessary in order to provide a helpful pointer to innocent bystanders.
It's not really unprecedented for them to offer up (often attractive and plausible) trojan horse reasons for why they do things that aren't the real reason. AMP, to me, is one good example. There are others.

I don't know what else they would really gain, or why else onBeforeRequest() was the most important thing to take away when extensions have so many other ways they can do harm.

Perhaps another way to look at it is not Google actively defeating adblockers, but giving a gift to their customers that pay for ads...making it easier for those customers to deal with the rising tide of adblockers, paywall end-arounds, etc.

Also customer feedback usually trumps top-down opinions even when operating in a waterfall model. I've rescued a few "ScrumFall" projects by just ignoring sunk-costs and seeing how fast you can iterate to an MVP from what you have. If you real customers that find value in the smaller scope project - it trumps the political battle around what the scope really should be and buys you credibility to adjust timelines and iterate more in the future.
GP100 and GP GeForce has a different shared memory structure as well, so much so that GP100 was listed as having 30 SMs instead of 60 in some Nvidia presentations. But the base architecture (ISA, instruction delays, …) were the same.

It’s true tbat GA102 has double the FP32 units, but the way they works is very similar to the way SMs have 2x FP16 in that you need to go out of your way to benefit front them. Benchmark show this as well.

I like to think that Nvidia’s SM version nomenclature is a pretty good hint, but I guess it just boils down to personal opinion about what constitutes a base architecture.

They should charge people with attempted homicide with a deadly weapon while under the influence.

Like the side object detection and backup cameras, mandatory electronics are great for component manufacturers. For consumers it increases initial costs and reduces resale value after some years due to difficulty of affordably fixing old electronics. Much of this is financial punishment on the poor and working class.
Is this the same thing as google forms surveys, or something else?

No, I'm not talking about wanting to break the law. I'm talking about wanting to drive.
Just to echo the other children of this comment; I'm pretty lost as to the reasoning here.

I game at 1440p on a GTX 1080 from launch day in 2016. Cost is essentially no object for me, as gaming is my primary hobby and I can easily spend 60hrs/week playing video games, so the return would be more than justified in my mind.

But I haven't upgraded in 6 years because there has been no reason to. I'm running my favorite games at 144fps, and the newer super-high fidelity stuff I can run at 60fps, which is more than reasonable.

I will say that I was excited for the 40XX lineup, but at these prices I'm more inclined to hunt for a cheaper 2080 or 3080 solely for RTX functionality, but that's an enthusiast feature even for someone like me who spends a huge amount of time gaming.

I couldn't imagine giving up my access to old titles, console emulators, mods, itch.io experiments, and low-budget indie games on Steam to save a few hundred bucks in the short-term to buy a console.

YMMV if you're not paid well in a HCOL area, or if your location offers alternatives such as PC cafes.
That's why I like GraphQL, you get exactly the data you request, no transformation necessary.
Thank you, that's useful feedback (although clearly some people are less critical of the current results than others, I agree the results are worth improving, and your idea of being able to guess a country from the picture alone is a good one). Have emailed Dang.
If it’s a real location with a real Apple Store, why can’t you name it?

Isn't it fair that if every player you play against decides they don't want to play with you, you shouldn't get to play? Obviously something is wrong with you. (A 4chan style let's-make-this-person's-life-hell attack notwithstanding)
For better or worse, big win for Qualtrics and Typeform and big loss for anyone leveraging Gsurveys due to lack of budget.

I think it's pretty similar, and what many think of as deadlines aren't, in the sense that they are flexible.

For instance infrastructure projects: a delivery date is set, but developpers blowing out that date is just a fact of life. What will you do anyway when your new dam or highway is 6 months late ?

Even at smaller scales, you'd schedule moving to a newly built house at a set date, but painfully know the developper can easily blow past that and you can't just take the date for granted, or you accept moving to an unfinished house.

Software projects are of course the same, at big and smaller scales. Just look at game delivery for the most piblic instances of setting "deadlines".
While I don't doubt your specific experience, I'm wary about drawing firm conclusions from a single project. Vanilla JS projects can vary wildly in how verbose and complicated they are. I would bet that there are plenty of examples of both types: those that would be much more concise with a framework and those that wouldn't.
I’m more radical too, but looking at peers, it’s not really luck within their socio-economic (middle-class tech, college educated, mostly white) sphere. Pretty much anyone who showed up could find a way to get comfortable. Even those with screwed up personal lives weren’t starving. They’ve all got big trucks, houses and go on cruises.
I think that maybe the point is this is not being tackled as a purely economic endeavour (or if it is, it’s in the “indirect” manner), as such, I suspect roles like “product marketing” are probably unnecessary, at least for now.

Also, tell me you wouldn’t love to work on a large project that wouldn’t be subject to the arbitrary whims and promises of the marketing department.
pathetic, lol. that being said, it's important to note that this is not the same thing as Google Forms.

I'm surprised they'd cancel this. this is one of those things Google is uniquely positioned to do.
FIDO solves this. The process is: push button.
To this sentiment – does anyone have a good way of auditing Firefox extensions for security?

I find really useful extensions on https://addons.mozilla.org ... but they often require permission to look at all of my browsing data, and I haven't found a way to view the canonical source that will be installed.

I'm sure it's available somewhere on the file system, but is there an easier way?

YouTube likes and dislikes are now pretty similar to Facebook likes.

By US values profit is weighted heavily over anything else. Chinese and Russian values (or lack thereof) are focused on controlling the narrative.

Oh what a trip down memory lane. My family in 80ies USSR had one of those. Me and my brothers were the manual labor moving the train thing left or right for my mother, it required quite a bit of force and muscle. He'd be on the left, and I on the right, pulling, with my mother putting yarn on. She could do amazing designs for sweaters, both colors and the shapes/patterns of the knit/weave. It made the most specific Whooozzhhhhzhhh sound as it went left and right. Was also kinda scratchy on the needles, if you weren't careful. I never saw those here, which makes sense, commercial machines killed that.

Interesting that you didn't comment at all about my take on functional components not being the best tool for every job in React. Curious – do you have an opinion?
Yes, typically State DOT has published rules for speed studies and they seem to usually follow those results. I have seen speed limits on several road sections increase after speed studies.
I never use dislike, just "Not interested" or "Don't recommend channel". Those seem to work as advertised.

Its been my understanding that political parties have interests that are completely separate from the will of the people, even though campaigns say otherwise, and no amount of change is going to fix that problem.

Also any changes that come from those institutions follow the real progress that gets made by common people.

"A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men. When the majority shall at length vote for the abolition of slavery, it will be because they are indifferent to slavery, or because there is but little slavery left to be abolished by their vote. They will then be the only slaves. Only his vote can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own freedom by his vote." - Henry David Thoreau

No, it isn't. Yes, you can make Windows or macOS or Linux GUI in rust. Yes, there are options, but:

- ecosystem for GUI is weak

- Can't' imagine using anything, but relm or gtk-rs

- Existing GUI paradigms don't work well in Rust at all

As much as I love writing rust, I would rather write "core" in rust and link with it from something else for GUI.
For me, the reasons I tried to push for doing our daily update on Slack (back in 2016 I think) were:

1. Enable asynchronous work (by that I mean that we should both be avoiding a context switch at a fixed time of the day + not discriminate anyone working from home).

2. In every team that I've been, I've found that during traditional "standups" I found that most attendant would think about their own update rather than listening to the current speaker, which totally defeats the purpose of this meeting (which I guess should be to sync as a team).

And so in the video demo, it seems very redundant to see each speaker describe what they already put in writing. Instead, if a face-to-face meeting is to be held in addition to a textual update, I would have expected the team to discuss any question they might have for their team mates which rises from the update they read _prior_ to the meeting.

P.S. In the video demo, the cut from Heather's update to the summary of what we've seen was kind of blatant, and I can only guess that any women who might watch this demo and have experienced being disregarded on meetings by a group of men, might feel uncomfortable. I'm not saying this is in any way represent the culture in your company, but having seen this in real life (and despite myself identifying as a man) I felt like it really stood out.
