FWIW, there are hundreds (thousands?) of DirectX games that also run on Stadia hardware, but won't because of licensing concerns. Google doesn't want to license DirectX through a copy of Windows, and I'm guessing that using DXVK would be considered "flying too close to the sun".

Design is a side-effect of making choices. The idea is that you get someone to do it who has experience and is thinking very hard about it, and testing their assumptions. But the alternative is not to have no designer; that is impossible. The alternative is just that someone else does the design, usually someone who doesn't even know that is what they're doing, let alone care.
The quote is about the shift to mirrorless vs DSLR, and the article seems to misinterpret that to support the conclusion that phone cameras are killing photography. They even throw in a random comment about film photography in the last paragraph.

Canon is still making cameras, and Sony is having more success than ever with the mirrorless transition. Changing the label doesn’t mean that photography is dying.
That future is just not evenly distributed yet.
Are you an expert in robotics? Why is electronic actuators worse then hydrolics?

In most other places we are switching away from hydroponics because electronics are getting so advanced.

Electronic actuators is defiantly cheaper and simpler so for a consumer product its seems to be the right choice.
Same here. My wife calls herself a feminist. Yet, when I cried one time in front of her, instead of comforting me, she told me - stop crying, you are making me angry.

Another time, she told me that the only value I bring to her life is 'to provide for our kid until they turn adult'.

I don't think we will be together much longer lol.
In case anyone wants the numbers, Everest base camp to the peak is 3485 vertical meters. But this is done over multiple days. From camp 4 to the peak is "just" 850 vertical meters, less than 1/10 of the 8848m Everesting climb.
Wasm is about distribution of binaries, not about open source. Those are two different subjects.

When I install a program on my debian machine with apt-get, I also get binaries. But this doesn't mean that it is opaque right?
Maybe all these programs to help students are just a cash grab and tackle pointless non issues.
> When the user profile folder is unusable for some reason you either have to do this or just refuse login. Neither are good answers, but this one is better as long as you understand what the system's doing.

As this whole discussion shows, no, this one is worse since it can easily lead to data loss. A third option, however, would be to do this but not erase the profile on logout.
That's never going to happen if development is ongoing, though. Especially if multiple people are working on it
Yet women are barely present in high-paying STEM fields, despite hundreds of incentives, while STEM jobs typically pay well and are relatively safe options career-wise. Furthermore, we see the differences in income primarily in the 20-30 bracket, where most would get their first job.

Despite the whole "cooperation and communication" argument, most individuals aren't going to be in such a position for quite a few years, where the income differences are. During those times, most individuals are stuck doing grunt work.

Call me crazy, but things don't add up here.
And every powerful woman is a man for all intents and purposes, because "men have power"? Or do powerful woman simply not exist in your theory of reality and it's all a charade where some secret society hires women and everyone including them pretends that they are powerful?
Doesn't seem like it's much different anywhere along the way after that. I did look. I only get one life. I didn't want to waste it in a field with no interest in changing. Very little seems different ~15 years later.
> Most articles, like this one tend to lay the blame at the feet of boys and men in a way that would be obscene if it were applied to women or minorities. EG they are just lazier and unmotivated.

But surely, we can acknowledge that there are at least some intrinsic behavioral differences between men and women. For example men are intrinsically more violent than women. 90%+ of violent crime is committed by men. This holds true across every human society ever studied. Another example, it's probably also a human universal that men have a higher predisposition to substance abuse than women.

So the fact that men commit far more murders at women, we can probably lay the blame at the feet of men. It's not that society has let them down. It's that testosterone increases the propensity to violence. So, we can't categorically rule out that men are intrinsically less suited to productive participation in a post-industrial economy. (For example getting in bar fights and going to jail during prime earning years.)
I hope they amend the treaty with IAEA being able to enforce things and all. I think we can leave japan out of this too, I don't see why one country is so important.

Isn't 155mm 15cm? Close enough I would say if it was an actual fission explosion.

As for safety, nukes in space are safe and you can launch them using conventional propulsion and use nukes only in space and also launch from point nemo or cook islands so you are at least 3000mi away from large populations.

I get these challenges are real but if the advantage over ion propulsion is great then it sounds like they are worth overcoming.
Is there video conferencing software that does spatial audio for conferences? What I have in mind is that it is often problematic to understand each other while multiple people are talking. It is much easier in person. I guess it all goes down to ability to focus on directial cues of an audio source. Currently everyone are placed inside one's head so they interfere much more this way.
Sibling comment is a good summary of most of the issues. I would add that you would lose quite a bit in payload mass to the additional shielding you would need so as to not fry your electronics/kill your crew. This would be in addition to what you would already be carrying to protect against existing ionising radiation from solar flares and alike.
SeaDefender's Unexpected Development
Perhaps unrelated, but there's the large problem of unaddressed spousal abuse that victimizes men. Self-reported data from here in Canada[0] shows that men are more likely to experience spousal violence overall, albeit roughly half as likely to experience sexual assault or a serious beating.

But there are no shelters for men in most provinces, and many shelters that accept children will reject male children over a certain age. Moreover, based on court-enforced outcomes, men who leave an abusive home face a serious risk of significantly diminished custody and access in the future[1].

The fact is, a lot of Canadian men are living in abusive homes with nowhere to turn and the knowledge that if they leave their children will be left to face their abuser alone.

I see this attitude a lot, and it drives me a little crazy. All the conversations I've heard between developers and project managers immediately spring into my head. "But what if X happens", "Well, we showed them a message about it. There's nothing else we can do." This only makes sense for confirmations ("Leave this page? You'll lose your work."), and only sometimes. In most other cases, it's just an excuse to keep things simple for developers. Software can do anything you want, especially if you own the stack in question - you just have to care enough to design and pursue it. There is always an at-least-pretty-decent UX answer to any problem. In this case, some off-the-top-of-my-head possibilities are simply disabling writes, or showing a message with better wording at write time in Explorer, e.g. "This file will be deleted . . .". If a designer takes the time to think about it, they could come up many more, perhaps better, possibilities.

Hell, even just changing the terrible wording on the notification (and putting it somewhere much less ignorable) would be a step forward. E.g. "Your files have been temporarily moved to X. Any files you place in My Documents, My Pictures (etc) will be deleted when you log off or turn off your computer.").
Not removed. Simply not visible at certain zoom levels. The render does a trade-off between what it can show. When they chose to add building footprints, it removed street names
Good point. The features women are attracted to: confidence, money, physical prowess, etc. all go hand in hand with the masculine behaviors society is
rallying against. It is a bit confusing to me as an adult with a long time relationship, I can't imagine how you would navigate that as a 13 year old. At 13 I was basically doing backflips trying to get girls to notice me lol.

It is also possible that all the modern pressures and beliefs won't really override physical attraction. In general if someone is pretty to look at they have a lot of slack personality wise, whether they are a chest thumping mansplainer or an emotional crybaby.
Sequencing cancer cell genes is quite common now, to determine just what kind of cancer is there and which treatments are appropriate.
I could totally imagine how out of 100000 programmers having read Crime and Punishment, a few would take an axe to their local pawn shop.
I think it has to do with general lawless enforcement increase in NYC, that among other things, leads to people just blatantly doing whatever they want.

I haven't seen roaming mobs of cyclists in other city like NYC, lane splitting through traffic and blocking traffic
Disk I/O. It's basically all blocking except the fairly recent io_uring which is much more than disk I/O and perhaps a bit daunting for "I want to write some data without starving my main thread." I wish you could use select() and poll() on regular files on disk, like you can for almost all other file descriptors.
> So does Tesla, and they’re explicitly mapping and testing areas driven by popular influencers.

This seems like a nonsensical swing at Tesla. They have literally 100000s of people on the road with FSD in all of the US.

Claiming that its a few influences is just outright lying.

You are also totally wrong in your understanding of how Tesla FSD works. They are not mapping those areas, save those maps and make them available to other cars. That is explicitly not what they are doing.

More accurate to say that they are building a training set with the input from 100000s of cars driving around literally all over the US.
Super interesting, but another case where I feel the value of the article would have like doubled if they had included images.

"Here is what lox looks like, and here is smoked salmon" would have helped.

Not being Jewish, or even American, it's not obvious if it's cold or hot smoked salmon that's the new favorite for instance. I would guess cold, but an image would probably have made it obvious directly.
I don’t even know what that means.

These people have delivered immense value on multiple levels. Removing the incentive for doing so would be discourage others. I would like to see more Teslas, more founders, and more progress - not less.

If their output does not improve the lives of others and society around them, then it’s certainly an issue. Otherwise I’m not concerned with their wealth and would be happy to see it grow as a biproduct of their continue effort.
The failure to invest in nuclear is a collective one by Europe, with the obvious exception of France. Unfortunately, it takes 10 years to build a nuclear reactor, and that's if you have the human capital to do it. Europe simply train the engineering expertise in time to save the heavy industries which are left. An impoverished, de-industrialised Europe, swinging hard to the nativist right - it is not looking good brev, not looking good
In places that don't suck, coworkers do support each other and are friendly, at least to some extent.

Work is 1/3 of ones life. I don't get how many people are hostile to socialization during that time.
You're absolutely right, startups are incentivized to product goods/services their customers productivity and their own productivity.

If, on the other hand, the startup's goods/services make their customers only 1% more efficient, then they will struggle to make a big sale when interest rates are 4%.
In Rust land, the Rend3/WGPU stack is able to target Vulkan and Metal, pretty much invisibly to the application. Also Android and WebGL, although not as seamlessly, because the threading model is different in those worlds.
It's supposed to also support DirectX on Windows, but since Windows supports Vulkan, why bother? I have the same code running on Windows and Linux with no conditional compilation in my code.

The Bevy game engine reportedly runs happily on all those platforms.

In C++ land, Godot has similar portability. So do UE5 and Unity.

If it wasn't for Apple shooting themselves in the foot with Metal, we'd all be on Vulkan now, without these portability layers.

Definitely agree that the change will come with some immediate social drawbacks.

I wonder if, after 10 or 50 years, you'll start to see different social structures materialize to fill the void left by losing the second place of the office.
Having read his biography, I'm not so sure he was particularly talented. He worked his ass off. Very very few people are willing to work that hard.
If you call changing APIs every other major release of Windows, then sure.

Having your drivers in tree allows the developer changing said API to update everything in tree that depends on said API which they are changing.
A proprietary driver that works is better than an open-source one that doesn’t work or doesn’t even exist.
>>WFH is economically more efficient for both employer and employee

it can be, but it can also be inefficient

When done correctly, where the WFH employee has a dedicated place in the home , has set aside dedicated time for working, and has provided the correct technological resources for their home (i.e proper internet) then it is a win win

However when the employee instead uses WFH as an excuse to just be "From Home" and focuses on home actives such as child care, home maintenance, or even entertainment or when the employee attempts to use shared spaces (or even as one commenter mentions using a cell phone outside while doing customer service) then it can go very badly

my personal experience supporting WFH people is vast, and the number of times I have had to explain to people that your Huges Net Sat internet, or you 3G connection is not really good enough to do a 4K zoom call is not good enough

Or the number of screaming kids I have encountered on meetings...

or....

to be clearly, I am not anti-WFH. I WFH myself. From a dedicated office in my home with gigabit fiber optic connection

but I dont think it is universal good for all employees, nor do I believe it is universal bad, it like most things has alot of gray
The costs to operate a space telescope don’t end at launch.
It's not obvious that cross-country comparisons are useful for the kinds of problems the article describes. They seem cultural, and you can't really just decide that the US is going to have the cultural norms of some other country even if you think you'd get good results.
Violence against men by women isn't socially considered violence.
Amidst Apple's CSAM debacle I switched from iPhone to LineageOS and started learning more and more about how non-existent privacy is these days. I always thought I was protected - I used all Apple products after all. I had been completely hoodwinked by Apple's privacy marketing messaging, somehow deluded into believing the world's largest company and PRISM partner had my back. The pendulum swung the other way, perhaps a little too far, and in the following months I also began to move off of almost all hosted services. It's been quite enjoyable, but I digress.

So I too have tried every Things replacement under the sun, including in the beginning of my metamorphosis into paranoaic, those that host data on their servers like Todoist. Except I haven't tried orgmode, I don't use emacs. Travers arrives here on what is still a hard requirement for me:

> I have always required that my task manager be equally accessible on my phone and computer… I have changed my mind. I don't need the full-featured Brain on my phone

He claims it's a feature, "disconnect to create". I'm not sure I buy it, sounds more to me like a post-hoc justification for giving up on a requirement of the search. If so I find no fault here. There is literally no replacement for Things, it simply doesn't exist. Things is one of the best pieces of software in the history of software. I miss it everyday.

I still use an Apple laptop, so I ended up just using Reminders which is God awful. For quick entry I found an app called "Menu for Reminders" that is good enough. On Android I use Tasks.org, and I sync everything with an iCal server that I run. It's not nearly as good as Things was.
Added it to my netflix queue!
Good article. I agree.
Ooh, I had skimmed the docs but hadn’t seen the best practices section, thanks!
Apparently FaceTime offers this. [1] Presumably Apple will allow other companies to do it as well, since they let them offer spatial audio in other contexts.

So he is at the same time a snake oil salesmen that also not a snake oil salesmen because he revolutionized 2 major capital intensive industries.

You realize that makes no sense?
The "hump-back" laptop style makes a lot of sense for a build using an off-the-shelf SBC, but I wonder if he couldn't have shaved off a bit by going with a low-profile key, like the Cherry MX Low Profile or Kailh Choc Low Profile ones.
Pocket sized would be ideal.
Just drove to Paris by car, the homeless population is getting big. Lots of tents/ghetto huts next to the roads through Paris. I hope they fix that as well.
I figured someone would tell me it was a dumb idea. I'm glad to be wrong about that!
Thanks for trying it out! Yes, the map UI has a number of known issues, some of which you pointed out. We're actually working on addressing the most annoying ones right now! I hope to have them addressed in the October / November release.
I'm skeptical that biology plays a significant role in this, it seems much more likely that it is a purely societal and cultural artefact.

It was ALWAYS just a small group of men. The group of men doing the ruling is the largest and most distributed in history.

The health care exchange plans usually aren't as good as employer plans, but they do exist and should remove a lot of the tie to employers.

It's not like the before times where you'd need to visit a bunch of brokers and hope someone could find a plan you might qualify for, if you're lucky.

What you usually miss out on is non-emergency coverage outside your home area, whether that's limited to the state or county you live in depends, and sometimes it's pretty bad if you live in an area where it's common to cross county or state boundaries but the exchange plans don't allow that.
Nick Holonyak Jr., Pioneer of LED Lighting, Is Dead at 93
Ah thanks, I didn't think of it like that. I've never used actual structured concurrency in JavaScript or Rust, but I python I have worked on codebases that do this. Seems increasingly common.

It seems like most of the time you don't want or need the full flexibility of async/await, but I don't think the guaranteed structure is worth the benefits to me if the language doesn't support it natively. Too much boilerplate, and static analysis is usually pretty good about catching mistakes, in python at least.

Really interesting! I have a number of Bluetooth LE headsets, I'd be interested to see how they work here...
Richard stallman himself got repetitive strain injury from emacs. So many people have. They tell you to remap the key to caps lock they tell you to use your palm instead of your finger they tell you to get a weird keyboard but at the end of the day it was just poorly designed.

Vim is only slightly slower but so much easier on my hands. Yes, I could get emacs evil or spacemacs or whatever but bolting on modality to an editor that was never meant for it, especially when all the docs basically ignore their existence, is not something I'm interested in. Native vim is just better.

But I do miss that you can configure emacs using lisp.

There is hope, though. I've heard there is a plug-in for neovim that allows you to write configuration files using common lisp.

Does Android not support standard Vulkan as well?
If you act your gender, age and confident you'll be better off in most scenarios.

That may sound like a strange statement, but our programming is strong and no matter how much we debate it in the society it doesn't change. We are what we are. We may be able to evolve, but you can't snap your fingers and have that happen in a century. Arguably, I don't see us evolving past it either, as our programming likely gives us some advantage in reproduction.

In terms of "helping men" I used to work with troubled youth (13-17yrs); young men need role models and a place in society. They'll ask for help and the role models can help them. They do much better in apprenticeship type roles. I don't really think it can be force, but a bit of encouragement and guidance goes a LONG way.

Today our society coddles everyone, young men need responsibility, guidance and hard work. Everyone has the desire to be respected, show them how to fit into society and be respected and they'll follow your lead. Many of the issues we face in society today is we don't have high expectations coupled with mentorship. Sports do this to a degree, but it needs to be through all walks of life.

The main issue IMO is that we have removed male and female only spaces and are attempting to homogenize. We also coddle children and young adults to the point they are offended when someone uses their wrong pronoun. It's good to have roles in society it helps optimize and provides guidance to those who need it. It's also good to have a thick skin, so you can roll with the punches and still succeed. Men and women alike are attracted to the traditional roles of the opposite gender because it helps both partner. There's a good reason for that, historically and today. That's not to say other configurations aren't possible, but biologically, societally and economically the traditional roles make sense to most people internally.
> anything to dispel that notion makes your value plummet

The disgusting thing is that if one's value does plummet, that serves as a blank check for the partner to harm the relationship as a passive-aggressive feedback mechanism to discourage subsequent behavior like it, be that withdrawal, or avoidance, or picking fights over inconsequential things.

Thus, men should constantly be striving for more value (read: status), or risk losing leverage with those they love. In a sense, projected status anxiety ensures that it is impossible for men to fully escape the evaluative sphere.

Internalizing this will age your soul, and not in a good way.
