You "got a vibe" about some tenure-track position and somehow this makes the place "unwelcoming"? Wow. Obviously you've made up your mind despite having no actual experience living here.

>Tell me can a brown person aspire to the highest post in Japan?

You mean the PM? No, of course a non-Japanese person is not going to be the head of government. How about in America? Can an immigrant be the President? Definitely not, it's unconstitutional.

>There is this weird fetishization of Japan, an ethnostate, by white folks who don’t consider other experiences even exist.

Only Americans say I have a "fetish" for wanting to live in a place that's walkable, peaceful, and doesn't have school shootings. Every time I have a discussion about Japan with them, I get utterly bizarre accusations like this and I'm so glad I got out of that insane country.

It's more fun with more players. They can discuss who is going to lose the round because of choosing 1 to block you. Someone can refuse to collude, so another must take the turn. Someone can decide to become a vigilante and choose always 1 to block you. Humans are very fun!
Streaming in hundreds of assets as you walk around an open world does surely take a different pipeline, but as a show of computing competence it is staggering. You should see how fast some of these truly massive games load nowadays. The fact that the notepad app takes forever to load when all it needs to load is the UI is just a sad state of affairs.
You seem to be more interested in the argument than the conversation. Thankfully, I no longer want either.

I agree that layer is correct, though I understand where there might be some “intuition clash” with people who are used to the classic paradigm.

When each layer is a transparent sheet it has an absolute Z order that translates 1-1 with the physical thing it’s virtualizing (transparencies, probably from traditional animation).

However if you cut out tiny shapes and arrange them with some on top of others to make a larger composition, there is no longer an absolute Z order to any element because there are a bunch of smaller stacks of various heights.

The virtualization no longer translates to the physical world, and from my experience that disconnect can sour people against a new way of doing things, regardless of whether it’s better.
Thanks for sharing this perspective.

consoles are very affordable really (compared to the cost of a PC), but they do share a lot of the same problems as cloud services. Constant updates, little control. The PS5 interface is sadly filled with ads.
We want regulation for data privacy and user freedom, not for banning content someone somewhere finds offensive. We want surveillance capitalism and anti-monopoly regulation.
This isn't just tech per se, if you look around you in society that's literally how countries are governed.

Basically a lot of people have promoted weak leaders all the way up to premierships and presidencies and have pushed out anyone that could potentially criticize them. The result is this shitshow we're in right now.

It’s just GPL 2.0, what are you talking about!?

Are Microsoft employees vampires that will burn up instantly if they merely glance at GPL code or something?

This is sour grapes nonsense from Microsoft. “We don’t like your tone so we won’t even dignify your argument by considering it.”

At one point an MS employee said they would love to fix their code as suggested by Casey but he refused to even look at the YouTube video!

“I would love to hear your arguments but I refuse to listen to the sound of your voice.” is next-level dismissive.

A mesh may have a lot of triangles, but it's still a single object you can memory map. UIs are typically a bunch of heap allocations and pointer jumping all created at runtime. That can be surprisingly inefficient.

How does this persons name have no google footprint before today? I searched "Jareh Dalke" and limited searches to before September 22nd, and the only thing that popped up were stories from today that bypass Google's date feature. Not even the endless spam personal information sites popped up for the name. Nothing else pops up.
It's interesting to read the author's translations of the various facets across into a typological model (simple / archetypal though it may be).

I do wonder how many people with an organizational bent have examined the facets and felt frustration with the groupings though. The wording alone is a bit odd. In some ways it's almost like, "you'd think that 'burger' means something related to 'hamburgers', but in fact it's related to things that are broadly sandwiched together, some of which are meatier than others".

Thanks for sharing.
> So, hear me out. What do you think Google would need to pay Apple if Android didn't exist, and everyone? Would it be the same amount as in reality, or would it perhaps be way more?

Considering that Apple has most of the affluent users in every market, would it be that much more?

Apple makes more in mobile from Google than google makes from Android more than likely.

> That you think a product going from literally nothing to $26 billion in cumulative profit in 6 years would be disappointing is just totally detached from reality. To put this in perspective, in that same time period of 2009-2015 (which I assume your "6 years" means) Amazon made a total of $3 billion in profit.

Amazon was a low margin retail company and was spending billions on infrastructure. Android already had more market share than iOS by then and was already dominant. How much do you think Apple made on the iPhone during that time period? Has Apple or any other BigTech company had to pay a direct competitor for placement?

> A better criticism would be that the number is unlikely to be correct, since Oracle would have inflated it as much as humanly possible for the legal case. But that's not the argument

That number came from Google in court and wasn’t redacted.
Funny, we use GCP extensively and never have any issues. I can't speak to the support issues because we've never needed any. AWS is a bit of a mess, and I always dread having to use it.
It's interesting that both Apple and Google still aren't very good at gaming. Maybe this is a big reason why Nintendo Switch is still the king despite smartphone is ubiquitous?
This doesn't look the same at all. The point of flyweight seems to be use code generation based on sql code; sqlitedao seems to be more like a normal orm.
You can have a query builder without an ORM.
Fascinating - but not really a solvable problem if I am going to be cynical about it. Too few data points spread out across different geographies means there are other problems with higher social impact.

Offering a sustainable free tier isn't dumping. Funding a free service with profits from a different business is.

> But if you define “dumping” as “selling a product below what it takes to turn a profit”, every unprofitable company funded by YC is doing something illegal.

Consider: if I'm a bad programmers and I care about slow software but I don't know enough to make it fast, how do I go about learning?

This is something I've considered a bit since listening to some Jonathan Blow talks. When you have loose requirements which change over time, limited time, and you're left figuring stuff out on your own it's difficult to do an outstanding job.

Nobody taught me how to write fast software. At best I learned enough to get stuff working. Usually after I've built something slow but functional I might've learned enough to write a faster version, but there's no time to do another rewrite because the features are changing.

For many developers the choice isn't between fast and slow, it's probably between slow or nothing at all.

Although I do think that big tech companies should be held to slightly higher standards.

I've got 64 GB of RAM so don't have much swap usage which probably helps.

I see everyone posting data for M1 Macs has an "Available Spare Threshold" of 99% whereas I've got 10%. What's the story there?

My understanding is that you want "Available Spare" to be as high as possible, and "Available Spare Threshold" is how low "Available Spare" can go before it is considering to be a failure, so the lower "Available Spare Threshold" the better.
I’ve written translators that also had to consider pattern changes. The amount of training to translate code effectively is enormous to be effective at scale. I assume this is segmenting separate models based on each language permutation.

So if this interpretation is correct, what should the fund directors have done instead? If you can only get 2% safely, but you need 6% or else the pension becomes insolvent, you're going to have to take some risks. UK stocks have been stagnant overall and plummeted during the pandemic, so that's not a much better option.

You mean you wouldn’t notice. That’s kinda the problem with authoritarianism.
Exactly what I’m saying. I clicked or expanded something out of momentary curiosity. Maybe the ad was provocative or mysterious and I wanted to see what the deal was.

Step two, I get retargeted. That’s fine and expected.

Step three, I get retargeted. Again. And again…and again.

What I don’t understand is how Meta/Instagram can’t figure out at least a little bit sooner that I was clearly just satisfying my curiosity and now every time I see the same ad I scroll by extra fast or otherwise interact in ways that should indicate disinterest.
More importantly, why can’t you start recording before the file history has been populated? Those seem like two completely separate functions.

Which means there has to actually be a vision. As far as I can tell, the vision at google is just to keep making boatloads of money off AdWords, and not really care about anything else.
Why is modern software slow? Because Joe developer's solution to a given problem is to Google up a package that solves the problem, check the license, and then run:

> { packageMgr } install { randomPkg }

Developer Andy, author of { randomPkg }, does the same thing. And so on, ad infinitum. You want to sum two numbers?

> npm install node-plus

And the source code will be:

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promise'
import { dirname, join } from 'node:path'
import additionChecker from 'add-check'

return function(n1, n2) {
// redundant useless comments
n1 + n2

To run a pension you need assets. You buy those on the market.

But wait. Why buy private assets. Why not have the government make its own assets. Like….a govt bond. Well, those are substantial portions of pension assets.

You could fund pensions from general tax revenue. But, then what happens if tax revenues are low one year….do you just not pay out the pensions?

At a certain point you’re on the market whether you like it or not. Even communist countries own assets
And they are still all supported…
> not really a solvable problem if I am going to be cynical about it

Seems like it's a trivially solvable problem. In fact in almost all of the industrialized world it's not a problem at all. You're just saying that you don't want it solved, which is a statement (in the US) as much about political identity as it is about practical policymaking. But it's not about "solvability" at all.
Incorrect. It is about those companies living in fear that their ads will be displayed next to something an activist group doesn’t approve of

Wait, Hank Green posted two pictures and said it was, quote, "real weird".

Which it is. It's weird. It might have a very rational explanation, but that doesn't make it not weird.

Standing outside during a solar eclipse is real weird. It's a totally explainable phenomena and once you understand it, you can rationalize the experience fairly easily. But it's still real weird.

Calling out an unusual phenomena as real weird doesn't seem to be "obvious hysterics". It's someone observing a phenomena and saying, "that's not what I expected!"

Read the affidavit, this one was amateur hour.

The FBI got lucky that one of their honeypot email addresses was the inbox. And then obtained records corroborating everything, such as from Kraken.

and the access logs of the top secret material from the agency's systems.

The access logs said Dalke accessed. Kraken's logs said "there were deposits of Monero in Dalke's accounts that are the exact amounts you sent Dalke, accounting for exchange rate fluctuations". Kraken's KYC records said "here's Dalke and his addresses". The UPS store he was using for an address said "Yep, Dalke keeps a drop here". The bank account connected to Kraken said "Yep, its Dalke". The setup at Union Station in Denver was for Dalke to come there between 11:30am and 3:30pm on September 28th, the affidavit ends 1 day before that, and Dalke was arrested in that exact location the next day.
What is the trivial solution?
You'll fill the airwaves very quickly with Lora devices. They're quite terrible at anything more than very simple text data. Time in air is high, bandwidth is very low, and signal clashes in crowded areas are a big issue.
Even the Security Council has limited usefulness in a confrontation like this, because decisions are so politicized. The case of Bucha is a great example. When reports of atrocities first came out, it was Russia who requested the UN to launch a commission of inquiry into Bucha, and it was the UK, who held the presidency of the Security Council at the time, that blocked it. This was reported in Ukrainian news. (https://frontnews.eu/en/news/details/25750)
Thank you for your question. It is another nice illustration of my main point.

I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it. That was said in 1750s. My “living experience” of growing up in a totalitarian society tells me that it is not only true, but vital - vital for having a free and prosperous society.

American Fathers agreed with Voltaire. But my feeling (which I do not like) is that an easily observable slice of native Americans have forgotten what exactly makes their country so nice to live in. “The lubricant oil is stinky and greasy - let’s get rid of it, car rides will be much more pleasant”.

Let me ask you a question in my turn. Why presence of racists on Gab bothers you so? No one forces you to read them or talk with them.
The deal for EU membership was tied to a poison apple of requirements from IMF + EU loans that demanded sweeping austerity.

the pre-Euromaidan politicians decided to take the loan offered from Russia that did not require the austerity cuts to social services, pensions, and selling off public infrastructure.

Euromaidan violence followed and after the coup everything continued to escalate and collapse into the Ukrainian "civil war"

much of the eastern Ukrainian population was dehumanized after euromaidan. language laws passed, large opposition parties were made illegal. violent ultranationalists like azov begin gaining power.

Ukrainian civilians have been abused and victimized by corruption for many years, decades.

Computed it myself. Direct air carbon startups are advertising $50-$200/ton at scale.

A ton is 2000 pounds. A gallon of gasoline emits 20lbs of co2 when burnt (most of the weight is in the o2, so the emissions are heavier than the gasoline).

Divide the per ton prices by 100 to convert to per gallon of gas, and you get $0.50-$2.00.

The existence of the tax would ensure they all had enough revenue to scale; fund them all initially, then let economics pick the winner.

Here's the mainboard diagram http://www.uncreativelabs.de/th99/m/P-R/34385.htm (although they claim it's 20MHz, the one I have is 16)

It's strangely overbuilt-- very feature rich BIOS, almost tool-less chassis, 72 pin memory socket, lots of surface mount parts, but paired with the slowest 386 on the market and a hard disc that was probably about 3 years out of date (Seagate ST351A/X-- capable of running in that weird 8-bit IDE mode) I have to figure it was Philips flexing their last few years of being a premium electronics manufacturer-- they can make a nice PCB and chassis but still have to buy the computery stuff from elsewhere.
