While you are right to an extent, I'd rather have someone that can check if the implementation is correct for the use case, wether it's theirs or someone's else, and settles for someone's in first when it fits.
I'm really surprised how bad these are.
There isn't so many alternatives that works so well in the embedded space. (in the kind of device where a web browser is not an option)
Definitely reconsider it, while Java is still often used in an “enterprise” style, modern Java brought in plenty of advancements and it is a quite expressive, while still readable language.

Which is kind of strange, I never understood people being so hyped about Go, while straight up refusing to touch Java for “verbosity”, when in fact the latter is much more terse. We sure are not too rational when it comes to tooling :D
I'm glad it wasn't just me! Although maybe we both somehow missed out on a quintessential high school experience and all the cool kids were hanging out in the middle of a field for some reason.
Java Reactive works around the shortcomings of the platform by basically inventing its own language inside Java. A high cost for the developer.

Economics is based on trade-offs, and a trade-off of "opening windows" can be "lowering indoor temperature". Incidentally: some parts of the world are in an energy crisis.

Edit: also, that «whatever difference» clashes pretty heavily with

> It is hilariously easy to inadvertently design a device that measures temperature with an error of 5degC, humidity error of 50% and pressure error of equivalent to 1km in altitude

It is also difficult to avoid noting that we "look into things" for many reasons and also indirect gains; that there exist "silent killers" and, more importantly to some, silent harmers; that some "principle of inquiry" (of "knowing the world", of testing, like Galileo's "Saggiatore") and a "principle of wanting to get things done properly" are there...
I took a break for about 2 years spanning the time leading up to and right after my second son was born. It happened somewhat naturally, because I exited a startup and needed to move geographically for family reasons. I did some consulting and still owned 2 businesses during that time, but it all added up to far less than full time. That time ended up being great for figuring out what I really wanted to do later when I had more time and mental energy to focus. It also was great for my relationships with my family, especially my sons.

I think it’s somewhat socially acceptable for women to do this. I wish it were seen as more acceptable, and also as a viable option for men. I see a lot of new dads struggling. The options seem to be either semi check out of family life or semi check out of work while they struggle through at low capacity. Taking a break can be a nicer option if your career gives you a good natural break point.
> Such relatively common, healthy colour change is mostly confined to early childhood. In another study in the US, which tracked more than 1,300 twins from infancy to adulthood, eye colour usually stopped changing by the age of six, though in some cases (10-20% of those studied), it continued to change throughout adolescence and into adulthood.

This is reassuring. I remember my eye color not stabilizing until well into school age but when I recount this as an adult most people refuse to believe me, insisting that it can't change after the first year of age.

I was born blue eyed, then changed to blue-grey, grey-green and eventually mostly pure green.

I’m not very familiar with online chess, so I take that sort of cheating lightly. Was surprised that online games can effect OTB ratings. I’m guessing FIDE, USCF , and other orgs will start separating online vs. OTB ratings as a result of this friction.

If anyone is Intel in reading this, please can you provide a lead-time for the low end FPGA (e.g. Cyclone V and Max 10) to Mouser and Digikey?

I understand there is an ongoing major chip shortage but it has been over 2 years and historically these were available next day. I'm sure that I'm not the only one waiting for years with finished designs and no information.

I asked Digikey and they told me that Intel do not provide them with good communications, such that they cannot even populate this, never mind to provide a lead time per product.

Although performance is nice to have, it obviously is not the most important thing for me. Low verbosity (as little code necessary to write a functional and reliable UI as possible) and fast learning curve are the most important things.

Some of those "congress people" (or their family members) were employed earlier in the firms they pass legislation for, and some are employed later. Still corruption in a different way.
I don't particularly like this site's formatting. Enormous font and padding means I feel like I have to scroll after reading every sentence, and it's annoying having so little on screen at once and having to remember everything that's just been said.
Another thing i haven't seen mentioned yet here is ping/icmp tunnels. I have not played with them myself and don't claim any insight to its suitability in and of itself here. Just throwing another hopefully sticky idea at the wall. Maybe, it can be useful deployed in tandem with something else.
I disagree, software has always sucked. We can remember lots of the good software, and back how things used to be but the reality is this is nostalgia speaking.

> used to always be about "tricking" the result out of the computer by applying deep understanding of both system and problem to find the fewest, most performant steps required to yield the result.

That "tricking" came with lots of issues. Massive security holes, significant app stability issues, and hugely increased developer time to implement things. I can get a hardware accelerated Sha1 hash of a buffer in one line of c++ today, and I know it will be correct.

People who do that work still exist. Computers are fast enough that it's worth not spending hours optimising for every allocation when you're displaying half a dozen strings on screen, but people like Casey Muratori, Bruce Dawson, still exist and still write code.

>labor force won't fix

Not for JP because their skillforce potential was already relatively maxed out, their education reform paid off late in 70s while domestic politics squandered female labour participation. JP stagnanted after it tapped out demographic divident of educated/skilled work force in 80s - JP didn't have enough people / demand to upgrade what she had left to push further. Ultimately she settled in fairly prosperous status quo, but as medium sized country, also did not have sufficient internal market or requisite talent to compete across every sector.

VS PRC's recent skilled demographic explosion form 00s academic / S&T / R&D reforms that have not been fully exploited, which is the critical cohort that will build national strength. PRC has internal markets and talent pool to compete in every sector and will move up value chain accordingly. Ultimately just due to sheer amount of people, huge % of whom are lost cause, PRC will settle somewhere below JP, but still significantly higher than where it is now, likely much than US in gross/real ppp terms. Another important dynamic is PRC moving up value chain across all sectors will chip away at western economic primacy. PRC's skills driven growth trend will be slower relative to historic performance of other Tigers because even world demand was not enough to uplift 1.4B people. But that slower growth will start to directly challenge / eat lunch in sectors wealthy west dominantes. PRC may grow slow, but it merely growing will ensure west grows SLOWER if not regress.

One should expect PRC economy to grow slower and stagnate in 20-30 years, but will pull head of US, substantively in real GDP / PPP terms. All while moving up the up value chain, increasing comprehensive national power, and simulatenously erode western economies growth potential. Antcipate a future where every $1 growth in PRC hightech exports takes away 2% from west. Expect PRC industrial/trade policy sell at -$1 loss to cost west $4. JP as US vassel post war did not have the political freedom to play that game, it got Plaza'ed instead.

It could in theory have solved the Xbox problem of: every time I want to play a game the console insists on downloading 20GB of updates from Xbox Live, which appears to be capped at 50MBit/sec on a good day, thus wasting all the time I had available for actually playing something.

Technologically, the model of subsidizing consoles to put great hardware in your living room for not much money is a good one. You get ultra-low latency, games can work offline if need be, the experience is predictable and robust once installed and you can actually own the games. In practice it requires a willingness to commit to big expensive CDNs, download optimization, and smooth updates that Microsoft just don't seem willing to make. Streaming would appear to fix that regardless of other merits.

That said, I never looked at Stadia. We (me+fiancé) just don't play enough games to warrant changing anything right now, and we tend to pick the platform based on the game not the other way around.
Maybe you can't blame the quote author but the quote itself is definitely a problem now.

In my experience it is mostly used as an excuse not to think about performance at all. "The quote says we can worry about it later!"

That's why the quote needs to die.

Empty space on 101 keyboard looks weird in retrospect. It's natural to have a key there.
Yeah, I was saying niche because the Steamdeck experience isn't as plug and play as other consoles.

For example if you want to play Batman Arkham Asylum, you need to go into desktop mode, download a different Proton version then go back to the console mode, switch the used Proton version and then you can play. There's a whole bunch of other games where you have to tweak settings, maybe use the CLI to tweak things. And then add on top of that of managing settings to get optimal FPS and battery life.

That's a lot to throw at kids or non-technical people. It's quite a different experience than a Switch where you just download it and it works at optimal for the device resolution/fps.
It’s only a novelty in the US. In other rich countries where people don’t have a car fetish it’s just the most practical and comfortable way to get to work.

Obviously if you need to tow something you can’t use the metro, but that’s a very rare need on the whole. Then you take the car, cursing traffic and the parking situation.

Here in Copenhagen you’ll often see carpenters and similar with cargo bikes, so it’s not like you always need a huge SUV to move some tools, or indeed children.

Cars are almost never the fastest way to get somewhere in a city. Americans love them for cultural reasons, not because it’s practical. Like in poor countries cars are a still a symbol of freedom and wealth in the US, most of the rich world has moved on from that mindset.

Games really take 1-2 years to develop, minimum. And the expertise in game mechanics is hard to come by - a really good developer/designer who can deliver consistently fun games is likely to stay in the industry for a long time.

So this does make a lot of sense. Huge time commitment for deliverables + ultra specialist roles and expertise = the important industry people have long memories.

CBS is America, not Russian? The history of Ukrainian political corruption predates the war from Russia.

Russia is a corrupt aggressor, but that does not mean Ukrainian abuses should be ignored. Zelensky is not allowing Ukrainian citizens the freedom to leave the country for safety.

My Core 2 Duo Merom laptop was sadly unbearably sluggish on Windows 7 with a mechanical drive even with indexing and background services disabled, even at browsing files and such (and merely laggy with a SSHD mechanical drive with flash cache), though I hear Penryn CPUs are faster (and perhaps desktops are faster than laptops). The computer performs much better on a non-JS-based Linux DE like MATE (as opposed to GNOME Shell and plasmashell), though taskbar window previews are black (probably it doesn't work on an anemic GMA 965). I swear Xfce on a 2-core Ivy Bridge laptop with iGPU and SATA SSD, feels just as fast as KDE on a 6-core Zen 3 desktop with non-Nvidia GPU, at file management, Konsole, Telegram/nheko chatting, and PDF reading, until you open a browser or Electron app or run a modern optimizing compiler.

Oddly, with Windows 7 on the Core 2 Duo, the taskbar would randomly stop updating (I think it stopped happening after moving the same hard drive into a newer laptop?), and I got no end of driver issues: the touchpad would stop responding on the lock screen or logged in after sleep-wake, and audio would randomly stop playing until I restarted audiodg.exe. As far as I can remember, none of these issues happen on my Ivy Bridge laptop, where I'm clinging for life onto Windows 7 (the last version with a soul) for as long as I can keep apps running... though I'm getting rather tired of Tailscale creating a new network adapter and asking for home/work/public on every reboot.
I almost agree.

Poor optimization is trivial to avoid even without "proper analytics" or "proper QA". Code won't merely feel fast if it's reasonably optimized. Taking shortcuts around slow code is harder work than just never letting it be slow in the first place. Your team's level of experience may vary, hence what "reasonable" means.

I'd also replace "developers don't know" with "project managers don't know", but if you work for a small business that distinction may not exist.

You could argue that the SunRay vision is what Eric Schmidt spent the next decade years or so implementing at Google and what Amazon did with AWS, just with browsers replacing SunRay hardware, racks of AMD/Intel boxes replacing the SPARC hardware, and with passwords/phone apps instead of the smartcards. The vision wasn't necessarily all that wrong, just the approach wasn't incremental enough.

Also - it was a very different and opposite approach to what Java was doing at the time. Java didn't have any notion of UI streaming like NeWS. It ran UI locally, always. So it's pretty unclear how much Sun really bought into the SunRay vision. They certainly didn't align everything around it.
one of the few I would, yes.

>The model clearly has an understanding of the 3D structure of objects.

And the submarine clearly can swim! :D

The model encompasses 3D information, but a model is not a thinking entity able to understand anything. Well, it might be argued that saying that the "model understands" is a metaphor, and used as such OK, fine. But that’s it. Analogies rarely scale well.

As for humans, have you ever heard of proprioception? If that is not "native 3D sensors", I have no idea of what a 3D sense might be.
Super is fine, the convention is wrong.

I like Apple using Alt/Option/Meta as "alternative option"

I don't like Apple applications using Super/Windows/Looped Square for their own shortcuts.

On my Linux workstation I standardise to:

- Super for all window operations. Quit, resize, move to workspace.

- Super+alt for system wide action: lock, suspend, reboot.

- Hyper (super+ctrl+alt+shift because it's easily accessible on my keyboard) for global shortcuts such as mute microphone.

And Ctrl and Alt are reserved for applications themselves. I like Emacs approach: Ctrl is (mostly) the first layer, and Alt/Meta tends to work on semantic blocks: words, lines, sentences, etc. Shift often means Option, i.e. alternative to the base shortcut.
Your comparing gigabytes of data to a few MB. Now that hardly seems fair.
If we'd ever really try to do humanoid robotics, ones that interact with an environment made for humans in the way it's intended to be interacted with, this could actually be very valuable: imitate the general movement to quickly get the general action plan, use live feedback loops and simulation for the details. Basically like a child learns, but with one part in the cloud hivemind.

Without that, you have a much bigger solution space to search for the optimal approach. And you likely wouldn't even want that optional solution anyways: if your humanoid robots have sufficiently strong actors, optional solution for, to pick a simple example, navigating a staircase would likely be vertically scaling up the handrails through the slot in the middle. That might save staircase capacity and a tiny amount of battery (better aerodynamics!) but it would certainly ruin any humanoid qualities.
