> but junior devs are also less expensive.

The value add from Senior Developers… makes them less expensive than Junior Developers. There’s also time to market and quality.

Junior Developers are expensive and costly… in terms of management and training. And after all of that… they can end up working for competitors.

For example 90% of the cost of development is maintenance costs… faulty/buggy software in production.
pet peeve, thats the exact opposite of the saying. It is very easy to aim for the stars and not land on the moon. However if you aim for the moon and miss, you'll still be among the stars, i.e. lost in the void of deep space.

And the duplication of... about two dozen string routines, from what I've been able to find.

The actual rendering engine was left to Windows (and to anyone who was using it, like AOL), the shell was left to IE to continue wrapping around it, and a few more things.
With the increase in EVs, AC, and heat pumps, I'd expect electricity demand to increase in the next decade.
It's a pain in the ass
> I just find it really hard to believe that anyone would be sincerely excited to work at a place like Google.

> but it just seems like an unethical move

Whether you can empathize with it or not you must realize that of course people are sincerely excited to work at Google?

As for the ethics, at Google security you may be in a position to have some of the largest impact on the most people's personal security. You can say "oh but Google sells ads based on that data" - OK, and you might have a serious problem with that, but the person who's making sure that malicious 3rd parties can't read the GMail accounts of journalists probably doesn't see that as a deal breaker.

A lot of people also don't have the luxury to make these choices based on a purely ethical basis. If you're sending money back to your family back home is it a straightforward ethical question of "well Google sells ads, so my family has to starve" ?
Zipf-based maths could already say lots.
>Some enterprising chaps made a browser extension that made it trivial to snoop any open sessions and impersonate that session in a new tab.

Firesheep was super big for a while, yeah. I used it to show a few coffee shops that yes, really, WiFi with a password of "password" was measurably better for their customers than no password: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep
> I've never been able to stick to a routine with a set of daily tasks in the same way he apparently has

Productivity nerd here, so I’m not criticising anyone. But…

Could this be because you simply don’t want to? My feeling is that we’re told that to be Good Productivity Nerds there are these things we have to do. Daily rituals, journaling, reviews … honestly, reading Evan’s post made me feel nervous. Like, when does the guy have time to relax? It’s all checklists and routines. Good god.

I get it, whatever works for you. It sounds like it works for him. But that doesn’t mean it’ll work for you. Perhaps if you haven’t been able to keep the routine it’s because you don’t actually like the routine?
tbf fedora is a nice distro if you want to be near the bleeding edge but not bleeding and don't mind updating often (every 6 months or so). I prefer arch but not everyone wants to be bleeding all that much.
Australian signal intelligence, Australia's NSA does the same.

Their website has cyber security challenges and, apparently, if you complete all 12 levels you'll get a interview.

Honestly, it's pretty neat. If you hated resume bullshit, then that's a great option.
No, it's not "common sense" to go that far beyond what the rules say. The video has over an order of magnitude less swearing than the rule says is okay.
Why is your VPS server encoding rather than clients? Are you combining talkers together into one source for doing crowds and avoiding N^2 or something and need to reencode after combining?
>* Is opt-in (for now)

Are you sure?

There is no such case. That's just silly. Suffering isn't even something that should necessarily be avoided.
Never mind google maps, its pretty easy to tell yourself google project zero is a social good.
>Not being a lawyer and all that, would some of this holding of the hands-out not qualify as some sort of grift or worse? Are there not laws already in place for this stuff? Is it a case of it being too hard to prove so no prosecutions are brought?

Practically speaking sure, but all one needs to do is hide the grift behind a veneer of altruism and people[0] lap it up. Also half the time it is the lawmakers behind the grift. Do the phrases: “Think of the children“, “we need an environmental impact report“, or “This is a building of historical significance“ ring a bell? Behind each of them is an entity(ies) looking to advance their interest, which is often, but not always, profit from the increased diligence required or profit from the obstruction and the induced scarcity.

We used Citrix at an old corporate job. It was an all-in-one corporate networking solution. We had 2fA keys and logins and citrix was the entire IP(Intellectual Property)-protection networking + vpn layer.

> Similarly, there are lots of reasons why improving the security of google is a good thing _even if_ you think google itself is evil.

Especially when you consider the fact that a lot of stuff that Google security researchers do directly affects and influences (for the better, I'd say) the current industry too. See: Project Zero team, etc.

I think these sort of things are the security equivalent of a company having a really good engineering blog. It probably wont directly lead to new hires, but increases mind share in the long term.
By this logic, death bed conversions are a strong argument for the existence of god.

In any case, I can't recall there being an epidemic of people doing the thing you're saying they do all the time: are you thinking of any specific examples?
> Dynamic portals are not a precedent worth talking about.

Dynamic portals are literally the topic of this specific thread of comments. Here's the bit I originally replied to:

> [Prey] had portals before Portal.

Then you showed up conflating dynamic portals with compile-time map rendering, and now you're saying that dynamic portals, the very subject of this discussion, aren't worth talking about, because static portals, the preceding tech, existed earlier, even though dynamic portals clearly introduce fundamental design space as popularized by the critically-acclaimed game Portal.

The word "render" appears in your reply to my first comment six times, which is a lot in a discussion that is not at all about rendering.

Please correct any misunderstanding here on my part.
Isn't the energy cost of this violence the real point though?

Proof of work cost is analogous to the police violence/detection/bill security costs you mention, so that is what we should be comparing. The cost of land ownership, security and electricity is included in the cost of POW, so including it is counting double.

You could argue the police help secure the miners from physical theft, but they also help prevent physical theft from fiat banks, so shouldn't that be equal if not in favour of bitcoin?
Please note that I didn't say anything like that and you're making an assumption. The other option is teaching your child to be safe, as you would when they are old enough to stop holding hands.

His wife was there, and she was definitely one of those women. Which only supports your point even more.

I have no idea what you do in whatever country you're in .. I personally have just told them I'll be in the next aisle and walked away.

It's worked fine with my own children, my grandchildren, and various nieces and nephews.

I agree that the the "not indulging" in tantrums doesn't make them stop on a dime .. but they peter out faster and anecdotally appear less frequently in the future.

It's good to have cool calm collected kids down the track so you can teach them to pull molten glass from a 1000C furnace when they're five, to use an angle grinder safely at nine, and start driving by ten.

None of these offspring of mine are exceptional BTW, they're kind of typical for rural WA (W.Australia).
> I'd rather it rely only on the civil rights issues associated with it working and not tie it to misidentifying minorities.

I’m trying to to understand your point but I’m struggling to understand whether you understand your point.
In the first year of my child’s life, we received many duplicate copies of books as gifts. Often this was because the duplicated book was beloved by multiple people who wanted to pass on their enjoyment. We gave many of those away. I would expect this is reasonably common and would result in the opposite of what you’ve described.
Yes, great, this is in line with my point. I'm not saying you should take control of the internet but you are responsible for how they interact with it.
Yeah I agree with the part of making it easier to do some of this stuff, heavily machine-assisted, even generative like you said, but will need a human at the end I think, to guide/audit and give stamp of approval.

I suppose the more charitable way to look at it is that groups like Red Hat (and now Microsoft) are the ones interesting in paying the people looking to do that work. Which is not to say it doesn't give them a lot of sway, but there's also only so many volunteer hours and you'll inevitably get more work done than others if you're getting paid to do it 40+ hours a week.
Right. So why does anyone business with such a crap company?

I worked at Citrix from 1996 thru 2000. In the early days, Citrix was licensing Windows NT (source code) from Microsoft and selling a modified version of it such that (a) one could remotely control/display Windows apps, and (b) multiple users could do this simultaneously. At a certain point (‘98?) Microsoft announced they would soon offer the same functionality as Citrix, and the stock got crushed. In the end, though, it seemed Microsoft decided the practical thing to do would be to roll their own version of “(a)” (dubbed “RDP”) and license “(b)” (back, as it were) from Citrix. At least I think it was something like that.
Well that part is pretty easy for most people though a combination of frequent exercise, good nutrition, proper sleep hygiene, and avoidance of substance abuse. It doesn't even require any medications. It does require a certain degree of discipline.
It's funny because I had an opposite kind of experience when I was in school in 2001, all the CS students needed to be in the labs to get the full unix experience but my friend and I figured out how to do xwindow forwarding to our windows PCs in the dorm and could work just like we were in the lab.
Maybe the renewed cold war will prompt the CIA to get their shit together. The Russians have been actively sabotaging things in the EU through useful idiots and corrupt politicians.

One person who was able to sucessfully trick them so far is Marine LePen, who gladly takes their money while she keeps losing elections.
It's because of the all-consuming void they have there -- the Void in Quebec.
The meat of which is the astonishing fact (well, astonishing to some) that the US weights and measures ARE metric .. being literally fundemently defined on the back of a metric base.

All the same, telling people that the USofA was one of the very first adopters of the SI metric system and still bases all its measures on metric will get you a few odd looks.
It could happen! But, right now, at most latitudes, building a PV farm is cheaper than building a coal power plant with the same average output, and a coal power plant is basically a conventional nuclear power plant without the reactor. I think that, to be cost-competitive with PV as a source of energy, nuclear reactors need either much cheaper heat engines than a Parsons turbine, or some way of converting nuclear power to useful forms that doesn't start with using it to heat something up.

The only group I know of trying to do this is https://hb11.energy/, whose plan is to laser-initiate an avalanche of boron-11/hydrogen "fusion" and throw the resulting alpha particles up a million-volt potential difference. Though it's not guaranteed, that might end up being cheaper than a steam turbine and generator.

Without such improvements, nuclear energy is only really appealing in environments where PV and wind aren't an option — like submarines, aircraft carriers, Antarctic research stations, deep-space probes, and Scotland — or as a hedge against unforeseen difficulties in scaling up grid-scale energy storage and the like.

But I might be wrong about where the costs in coal plants come from, and I'd be very grateful to find that out.

I really appreciated your "On Apple’s “Expanded Protections for Children”," by the way.

I think the Poles potentially had something to do with it. They have been very vocal in opposition to the NS and now they control two pipelines one of which wholly removed from Russian control. Whoever did it would know that the bone would fall instantly on Russia or the US. To me it doesn't make any sense for either Russia or US to do this.
They actually did invent the next generation of office technology. They just couldn’t figure out how to sell it themselves.

This website is pretty bad in terms of pitching the product. On a Macbook Pro, there is a giant black bar with nothing but the headline, which is then repeated in the video. The video itself tells me nothing about how it can improve an enterprise. And The macro fly-by of the device itself makes sense for a B2C product much mote than it does for a B2B product. Just weak across the board - feels like it might have been done internally even - and that's before we talk about how they've raised $3.5 BILLION dollars.

In another life, I managed a team working on Google Glass and tbh I'm not surprised that they still don't have more compelling use cases. Hands-on training is a relatively niche market. And the medical example - separating conjoined twins - seems like it could be handled just as well or better via VR or just a standard display. The dirty secret of the space is that enterprises want to de-skill labor wherever possible to save costs. But if a step in the value creation process can be truly de-skilled it likely can be automated, and if it can't, human beings learn well enough that they don't need (or want) the goggles strapped to their face for long.
Google it?

At the least you know the market cap of bitcoin right? That's easy. Market cap of commodities is also Googleable.

But it's worth noting that while people need to eat, and need to transport themselves (tougher, relatively true), they don't need to own bitcoin. Nothing in the world is driven entirely off of bitcoin.
Early Cormac McCarthy Interviews Rediscovered
It’s common for people to use a term they think is straightforward (dependence) but it’s not. They make arguments and decisions that hinge on this term. This article is showing how “dependence” is three major things that can each be broken down even more.

This teasing apart can be really useful. Sometimes you end up debating “should A depend on B”, but then it’s “does A depend on B” and all the way to “this is what dependency means / means to me”. That last step is a terrible way out of the argument. A better thing is something like “we’ll call your dependency definition type 1 and mine type 2” and you realize there’s more common ground than you had before, the disagreement quite narrow. Maybe the disagreement even becomes a matter of fact and you can go find out! I find having a concept already broken down by someone else to help this process.
How To Build a Tech Online Community
When I asked people who had already successfully made something work and they gave me replies such as "magic" it really used to frustrate me in the pre-internet days.

Especially in cases like this where they had their better "colourful WYSIWYG Windows application" while the rest of us are stuck on our "drab black and white fixed-width text editors"
Yeah, that makes no sense. People showing that as evidence have to consider that whoever did this wouldn't be so obvious about it. Whoever did it wants everyone to think that either the US or Russia did it. I think the Poles or the Ukrainians are potential. Or perhaps even someone from outside the EU.

I was doing a school project in c++ and I tried configuring ccls but in the end I just gave up and did the project without LSP. Like you said it came with some prebuilt tooling and ccls did not feel particularly beginner friendly to get working as I am not familiar at all with the c++ toolchain.

It (mostly) worked out of the box in another project with only some minor quirks though

Good on you I guess. Appreciate the good faith advice.

I'm 100% sure my kid would just start ripping and destroying the items on the shelving in that aisle. And that if the child were seen unsupervised in the aisle, at best the kid would be taken to the front and at worst police would be called (my country, USA, is extremely paranoid about children which means even if you are not paranoid about your kid you have to be paranoid about CPS and the criminal charges).

At any rate I wish more places were mroe like rural Australia in that regard. Even relatively minor independence for young children is effectively illegal in much of the US.

None of the text-to-image tools seem to really understand 3D geometry, so I feel safe for now. Look at examples for icosahedron [1] vs dodecahedron [2] vs octahedron [3] None of the images were actually geometrically correct - is that quibbling? Maybe, but sometimes for some audience words actually mean something, not just some vague evocation of the angular aesthetic of something. Has someone delineated the words that will not appear in a stock photography prompt? If there was some feedback like "I'm confident in this" to "I'm guessing here, user beware", it would be a lot more usable.

The thing I like most about Brave is actually the crypto stuff, and I hate almost all crypto. This is actually a good use case for it - you have a distributed system (users browsing) across untrusted hosts (users).

People like to shit on advertising, but much of the internet exists today because of advertising. Do you think Youtube could exist at that scale without ads? I don't think so, personally. At least, not without another way to monetize.

Brave is the only player providing an alternative monetization strategy. Crypto or not, to me, that is by far the most interesting thing a browser has done in a long, long time.
Don't forget that Citrix had a Terminal Server offering before Microsoft incorporated it into Terminal Server. That was the big offer in my mind, not the RDP client, but the ability to connect multiple end users to one Windows NT server back in NT 3.51/4's early days.
For Citrix, it was XenServer, XenClient, and XenDesktop when I was there? Also Go2Meeting, and a few other other stuff like that.
The move from B2C to B2B is curious, it seems like the reason is B2C didn't quite have product market fit. It seems though the more realistic reason was they couldn't actually deliver on time.
