This should never happen, provided everyone is actually following the specs.

If a charger outputs X W and a device needs Y W, for any X > Y it is guaranteed to output the voltage and current combination the device requires.

Every <=15W charger supplies 5V @ 3A, every 15-27W charger additionally supplies 9V up to 3A, every 27-45W charger additionally supplies 15V up to 3A, every 45W+ charger additionally supplies 20V up to 5A. A higher-power charger is therefore always a superset of a lower-power one. A charger may offer a variable voltage, but this variable voltage may not exceed the highest fixed voltage it offers. With the right cable, it may offer currents above 3A for lower voltages.

Devices are required to be able to charge from any charger providing at least the device's power rating, and it should even provide a similar user experience. It is not allowed to depend on the optional variable voltage or higher current a charger may offer.

Really, the USB PD specifications are fine. There is nothing wrong with them - except perhaps the fact that they are over 650 pages long. If you run into issues with USB-C charging, it is almost always caused by either the device or the charger manufacturer simply not following the damn specs.

I think this tech would work for very well for game demos. Google could repurpose this tech, so that people could play game demos integrated in ads.

These links are not just two simple bugs.

The first link is a report that the system becomes nonresponsive under memory pressure and a discussion of that report. In that thread, there was not really any agreement about whether this was a bug, let alone what the bug was, or what the fix would be.

The second wasn’t a bug at all, it was a patch proposed set of knobs to allow users to avoid the problem.

If you don’t want to do server admin, many backend languages are supported using AWS Lambda to directly serve html, css, files, etc.

And AWS DynamoDB for data.

For Python, global variables persist until the next cold start.
The reason RPC is making a comeback is because of 1. SSR (e.g. rendering React components to HTML on the server-side), and 2. the increased practice of continuous deployment.

Increasingly, the frontend is deployed hand-in-hand with the backend.

RPC is a match made in heaven for stacks where backend and frontend are deployed in-sync.

There really are only two reasons for using a RESTful/GraphQL API: providing third parties access to your data (e.g. Facebook API) or decoupling frontend and backend (e.g. Netflix uses a loosely coupled microservice architecture).

Most projects don't need either.

Google could have easily paid some game studios to produce content. MS and Sony would not dream of launching new hardware without some decent launch titles. And it's not like Sony uses directx or windows. Neither does Nintendo.

Google came empty handed to what is a very competitive space. It's all about the games. That's not a technical problem but a doomed product strategy. They failed to engage with game developers to develop for their platform.

And of course valve had the same issue and and actually fixed it. Many games run fine on Linux these days with Steam. That could have worked for Google as well.

I mean you are right, but on top of that I would not have trusted google to keep that service going. Generally I guess it is very unwise to trust any streaming service to keep going indefinitely, because there will always come a point where some old game is more work to support than it is worth.

If we gave some gamer the funds to run the gaming equivalent of archive.org I might have more trust in the service. Earning money and archiving cultural goods for future generations are not easily compatible goals.

It may be that somebody depressed does not feeling like exploring unknowns, or brave enough to lose himself and experience something completely different.

Also, I don't think it's necessary wise to suggest somebody depressed go on such trip. It can take you different places. Sure, it may be fine 9 out of 10 times, but if somebody gets stuck in some negative positive feedback loop (heh) he may end up with a trauma.

Before Cyberpunk 2077's poor launch, I was looking into game streaming to play it and Geforce Now was the obvious choice. There really was no competition due to the lack of lock in. When users potentially have multiple thousands of dollars already invested in their game library over a period of >10 years, you better support playing with that library, especially when the competition already does.
Interestingly, in my EU country we have explicit laws in constitution which forbid any kind of preferential treatment or discrimination based on gender, race and etc. However, there are agencies and courts who allow affirmative action policies to exist. For example, a public grant for entrepreneurs where women are officially awarded extra points for their gender. So basically constitution is ignored and no one cares.
imo systems programming is more old fart friendly and arguably more interesting than most "fancy" new tech jobs out there. I'm 35 myself and so far age was never an issue during an interview.

due to high demand in Europe where I'm at, I don't expect we will be forced to change careers in foreseeable future, however sometimes I think driving a garbage truck may be more desirable to pop-ing yet another problem from the never ending task queue.

age in itself is not a problem. the real problem is losing enthusiasm and drive to perform for others. that may or may not come with age and realization you are a hamster in a wheel as opposed to building something of long lasting value you can reap benefit of in old age.

Google has a system called plaque in which you can express DAGs of operators (functions) and it handles all the scheduling and data flow between nodes running on a distributed cluster. This achieves much better performance efficiency at large distributed scale while also providing an easy to reason and debug program logic. I would expect more such distributed computer programming models with dedicated language/compiler toolchains in the future.

How are errors handled though? What happens when you “throw Abort()”.

I think this is the case for most fields, self-learning as compared to university is always an option, but much harder and prone to error. One advantage of programming is that buggy code tends to be less consequential than a buggy bridge or a buggy surgery, and the cost of producing is incredibly low. You can test and play around as much as you like.

Don't do that.
Open Core is going to hurt you. Especially if things like SSO are paid only.
I understand you want to make money and you deserve that but open core will hurt you more then it will help you.

- Open core means no direct path from testing to using (and paying). If I want to make a case for a software to be included in our stack I don't want to constantly run into paywalls while trying out the product but I also don't want to go through the hoops of getting a licence (because of internal bureaucracy).

- You steer away users that cost you nothing but help you spread to word and report issues and might even provide a PR. I'm talking about OpenSource Projects, student organisations and companies with limited resources (NGOs, early stage startup's). I used to be head admin in a student organisation. We developed our own internal tools and only relied on open-source components. I know of at least two cases where other students got to know the tools and after they finished university joined companies and introduced the very tools we used to their employees resulting in paid support contracts.

- It creates tempting opportunities for investors to force you into ruining the open source tier. In the beginning you only have features behind the paywall that are useful to big enterprises but if your business is not growing fast enough (from the perspective of investors) they might force you to push more users to be paying customers. That might help in the short term but will ruin your reputation in the long run.

- Paying for services (aka insurance to get help if something goes haywire) is easier to justify with execs then paying an unreasonable amount for that one feature that is behind the paywall. ("Can't you just make it work without it"). Its a purely psychological argument but decision processes in companies are not always rational and your allies are the devs and you should be helping them make a case to buy your product.
I'd imagine this could be controversial when RSS is seen as a cure for attention grabbing and doom scrolling by some here who'd appreciate NNW to stay an app that only shows stuff when opened, doesn't lure, and doesn't update all that often.

At the time many technical users were using programs that could search multiple diffrent engines to desperately try and improve the results. On home connections these programs also needed to notify you when the results were done.
Google results were miles ahead of everything found accross all the engines whilst being nearly as fast as you could type.
Sure, but the "success of LSP in the recent years" was not because of that extension.
35 is not yet old.

Things on AWS and the like are inherently distributed, so going in that direction would build on your existing experience. There are definitely problems left to solve in that field.

Systems programming is on another level entirely. It might be a big gap to jump even if you have golang proficiency.

It’s not a “messy” area at all. It’s just a misunderstanding of the law. If what you’re saying is truly “illegal”, no court of law has found it so since Office was introduced over 30 years ago.

What’s more likely, that “bundling” as you define it is illegal and has never been prosecuted in over 3 decades or that you don’t understand the law?

Perhaps there is an analogy with how "western" words are formed. We usually use so mix of Greek and Latin roots, especially in science and engineering.

For instance the word "telemetry". It has the "tele-" prefix one finds in "television" and the "meter" root, so you instantly know that it has something to do with measuring something from afar.

I don't understand the "text length" argument. I can see it can be a problem - I avoid French translations of software because French is usually longer than English and it sometimes lead to text truncation or overflow bugs, but it's no big deal, really. Besides, it seems to me that Korea's Hangul shows that compromises are possible.

It's amusing to read in Wikipedia that "Hangul was created in 1443 CE by King Sejong the Great in an attempt to increase literacy [...] As a result, Hangul was initially denounced and disparaged by the Korean educated class" [1]. This sort of reinforces my impression that the Japanese writing was made to be pedantic rather than practical.

We had that in the west until public schools were built: reading and writing was only accessible to wealthy families that could afford hiring a teacher and had a lot of free time. There's a sort of urban legend that public schools did some compromises too; the long summer break was supposedly created so that children of farmers could help with harvesting.
