Here specifically too: Microsoft has such a weird lead in AR/MR/VR and have mostly just been sitting on it. For example, because of early Kinect work, they own the patents that would have made Meta's weird journey between "no legs" to "everyone gets legs if they want them! excitement!" irrelevant or much faster had the partnership happened sooner. They built the first "metaverse cloud" on Azure and they've used it and they've made something as exciting in theory as the HoloLens boring Enterprise products.

The other possible takeaway is that after Windows Phone, Microsoft really has been truly risk adverse when it comes to consumer products, even in areas where they had a lead and could have delivered something no one else could.

> VSCode shows they can execute, but for some reason when the stakes are higher they don't do as well Windows Phone

Windows Phone was arguably very well executed at the software level. Microsoft's troubles with Windows Phone were at the hardware levels and (worse) the economic levels where the phone carriers had already decided they prefer a duopoly and selling three things is one too many things to sell.
To what standard? It's the same game with climate change. When only 1% of the scientists dissent, that gives certain people enough confidence to believe the opposite of what the 99% believe.

They haven't actually dealt with Covid yet. Their immunisation rates are low and the vaccines they've used are not the best. It's an ongoing process where they are still flattening the curve. They aren't back to normal.

And this happened yesterday: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-delays-release-eco... . The market opinion is that the financial data is very bad so they don't want to release it. And this is quite coupled to their ongoing Covid policies.
I think the phrasing is just to get the key phrase "green card" in there.

What do you mean by beat kqueue? Is it faster than kqueue? Does it use less memory than kqueue?

How does the baseline filesystem watcher work? If it doesn't use kqueue, does it poll the filesystem periodically and diff against an in memory representation? If yes, see my other comments. If not, I am genuinely curious what you are doing because you know something that I do not.
> for no real reason

This happens but stating that the Jetbrains changes fall under this category is baseless speculation.

> This part seems to be missing in the calculation

What makes you say that?

I don't think anyone commenting here is in any doubt that needless/bad UI changes do happen in products. Noone's debating that general broad point. The thesis put forward by the article is that Jetbrains' changes specifically are an example of this trend. And it's very clear that the article is so lazily researched that none of the points listed do anything to support that specific thesis.
I liked the last few episodes to be honest. The lore is good.

The visuals are the best I’ve seen in a TV show.

The thing is, is the iPad really the best device at the price point for these people? Artist seems like the only one.

- for a musician, surely the full featured desktop software is better? And for $800 you can get a pretty good laptop
- video editors must also prefer a desktop OS. They can use keyboard hot keys, industry standard software, and get better GPU hardware
- photographers might do pretty well with an iPad Pro but again I think they’d probably still be best with desktop class photoshop
- a casual artist I will contend probably does best with an iPad Pro. But if they start doing really serious professional work, they will again probably want the full desktop software and an expensive Wacom hardware to go alongside

So at both casual and professional levels, the iPad Pro really only makes sense for a casual illustrator from what I can see.
Really? I have a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla Model Y. I alternate using the same outlet to keep both of them fully charged. The Leaf only charges at home, and I only use Superchargers for the Y when I'm on road trips. I already have 220V in the garage, it's just not worth spending a few hundred on a 220v charger as 110v meets my needs completely. The only reason that I might go 220v would be if I install solar panels and want to dump more power into the cars during daylight hours.
Agreed. Procreate is a masterclass in iPad app design. Everything runs so smoothly, the features are deep but the interface is still beginner-friendly, it's a joy to draw in with the Apple Pencil, and it has really good options available for exporting your work. Plus, it automatically records a timelapse of every project that you can render out at the end, which is a small feature that I absolutely adore. All that for a single-time purchase? Heck yeah.
I don't see any reason there would be correlation in those qualities. But it's more that I think that advances in technology will eventually democratize biological weapons in ways that 3d printing have democratized the production of small arms.
There's a really nice HashiCorp Vault plugin to generate finely scoped JIT GitHub token: https://github.com/martinbaillie/vault-plugin-secrets-github

In your own way, you are correct, but so are people who have the completely opposite experience. In our industry (biotech manufacturing) we rely Windows for everything. All the apps we use are Windows only. For us, there is no "parity across all platforms".
I'm sorry you're unable to understand my answer. Let me try saying the same thing as the article another time, and maybe you'll be able to understand the answer?

Your question was Why should no content should ever be taken down automatically just because a bunch of random people report it.

It's because the random people reporting it can't be trusted to be acting honestly. Without a human in the loop, the automated system becomes a tool for cyberbullies, and harms the very users you intend to protect. The foregone conclusion, thus, is that a fully-automated system will do more harm for the user-base than good.
Proof of Stake (PoS) versus Proof of Work (PoW) [video]
With iPhone video hardware, ProRes support, and a thunderbolt interface that makes 4k ProRes actually practical to get off the device, the iPad Pro is now likely to be the best video recording device for certain creative niches. You can even edit the video on the same device that captured it in a pinch.
Lower effort for whom? Back when I were a lad, we were told to write so that our readers did not have to work to understand us. The point of writing is to be understood. Old man yells at cloud.
Well, they are free people, not slaves. If they want to take a job in the private sector, they should have the freedom to do it, including working for a sovereign state that is not an enemy. Of course, they have knowledge of classified stuff, but I'm sure there are protocols around that, and they are aware of it.

It would be more scandalous if they were to take jobs with Russia, or Iran. But Saudi Arable is a US ally, so what's the problem?
I think maybe you mean something by "truly compensating" which isn't actually being achieved. But the lesser compensation we are achieving is still sufficient to impact people's behavior.

Suppose you're able to get two part time jobs with relatively little predictability in your shift schedule. Both are minimum wage, but one is in SF where the minimum is $17/hr and another is in Concord at $14/hr (the state minimum for a company with <25 employees). Say you live in Antioch, and can get to the Concord job in around 35 minutes for $4 with BART, and get to the SF job with more than 1h and $7.30 on BART (one way). So for every shift in SF you pick up, you get a $3 premium per hour relative to the Concord job, but for the first 2 hours that just goes to cover your extra BART fare, _and_ you lose an extra hour in transit. In dollars you still come out ahead on an 8 hour shift in SF relative to in Concord, but I think it would be unreasonable to say that "the implied issues ... become moot".
What about the air defense systems? Those things surely need advanced compute.

Not really? The iPad isn't velocity-sensitive, and it doesn't have aftertouch or any tactile feedback. A "regular computer" at least has straightforward MIDI routing that you can perform with - the iPad gets outclassed by decade-old Octatracks in terms of performance flexibility.
Wow - "no unplanned modifications" is a really big loophole, I wonder if that refers to some "master plan" somewhere in a cupboard behind the leopard.

And yeah, the elections can change everything - and sometimes nobody cares and you can run for the HOA board and effectively take control muahahahahah.

A significant number of military bases operate like this. Edwards and China Lake are great examples. Los Alamos. Even Fermi. Cities developed around these areas over time, but they once were only military/gov projects.
I never used Gnome (any version) all that much, but I have similar feelings about Windows 2000.

Recently I used Windows 10 a bit because I had to test some things, and it's just so ... chaotic. Buttons everywhere, the "flat" UI just makes it hard to see what's what (including what's a button), and "clippy" is basically built-in now given how often the thing whines and nags notifications at you.

The Windows 2000 UI wasn't perfect, but it clear, simple, and mostly "just worked".
These are two different walkthroughs of Guangzhou South Station: [0][1]. Guangzhou is a 1st tier city, of course, not a "tier 88 sh&!/%)@." The line for security is about 10 people, and it's not nearly as strict as at an airport. You put your bag on the conveyor belt, you walk through the metal detector, someone waves a wand over you, and you pick up your bag on the other side. You could get unlucky and arrive at an extremely busy time, but it's nowhere near as bad as an airport.

> Hahahah, I just traveled in peak summer season clusterfuck this year and it took me for sure less than 10 minutes to pass through automated ticket gate and immigration check for non schengen flight to get to my security gate at boarding, all while at extremely crowded airport.

It often takes 10 minutes just to walk from security to the gate. Security can easily add on an additional hour on a bad day. 10 minutes from the curb to your gate is unheard of, unless you're running the whole way and cutting to the front of lines.

> the HSR train station is further from city than old airport (which has maglev)

It's 40 minutes from Hongqiao railway station to Nanjing Road (East), in downtown Shanghai. It takes the same amount of time from Pudong Airport to Nanjing Road (East), even if you take the maglev (because the maglev only takes you half of the way).

Suffice it to say that I've traveled enough in China and in Europe to have an idea of the typical train delays. The situation in Germany is markedly worse. Official on-time performance for long-distance trains in Germany is about 60%,[2] and I think that there's a bit of creative accounting going on to even reach that number.

An installed charger is not needed for scheduled charging if the car already does it. Buy an EV with good modern features and you’ll be fine with just an outlet.
>Meanwhile Gnome is both slow and just about completely hardcoded hah.

Come back to the Mate desktop. It's the original Gnome desktop, just like you remember it in 2010, only ported to GTK3. I personally like the Ubuntu-Mate version but the guy running that project has been recently working to port over the specific changes between that and stock Mate desktop to Debian so that will also be a possibility soon.

Give it a look at: https://ubuntu-mate.org
> Green Card holders then become eligible for citizenship after another specified number of years

In theory, yes. But there's a massive backlog, depending on your country of origin. I know somebody who graduated in the US and after 10+ years they gave up trying to obtain a green card in the US and instead applied for permanent residence in Canada -- within a year they had moved with their family. This is far from unique.
The important part is at ~1:15:00.
You're of course right, I was exaggerating for effect. What I mean is that the PC stole a lot of other people's lunches, and PCs across the world had an almost equal likelihood across the world to be running Windows, and that mattered when the PC and what you could run on it (i.e. the app format) mattered.

Now it doesn't matter all that much anymore if you're on a Mac or a Windows or a Linux computer. You can largely use the same apps and services across them (with the exception of gaming, which, as an interesting aside, is now much better on Linux than on Mac). Anyone expending the effort to make a new app will usually build them that way, while in the past, you had a lot of platform exclusives.

But what is new and interesting is that a Google account doesn't deliver you as much value in South Korea because a lot of its services are unavailable or bad there, while it's nigh on impossible to live without a Kakao account, which in turn is entirely optional in, well, most everywhere else.

I find it fascinating that the global reach of user-centric/service-oriented computing is less than the reach of the previous device-oriented computing. It's certainly also not true that geopolitics have never mattered before in computing and reaching users, but I'd say they matter more than ever before.
Interesting, I hadn’t heard of Paperlike. I’ll have to give it a try.

This is great insight that I haven't considered. IN parts of the US you can plainly see miles of monoculture forests in all directions thriving (in an industrial sense) because they are actively managed. Look around Panama City, FL, (link below) for a good example.

If you read the article, you can tell they are talking about people who have applied, but not yet received their green card. Citizens of some countries have a decade or longer wait to get processed.
> I think it’s often better to divide up the product over many separate small teams, each with a product focused “mini CEO” and a tech focused “mini CTO”.

This only gets you so far. It tends to optimize for speed of teams but at the detriment of the overall product.

Eventually you end up with splintering of ideas, terminology, duplicate functionality and features that almost work the same way. You see it across all big companies and products. AWS is a great example of the mess they've made between services and how they don't always play well together and you end up with teams actually competing as they assert that their product should own something that's others shouldn't. I wouldn't be surprised if Google is in the same mess (Drive is a fucking cluster of a mess and it's basically impossible to use for anything productivity related - and don't get me started on how Google Classroom works within that ecosystem that's a double yikes). Same goes for Atlassian. What's the saying? Don't ship your org chart?
More likely it’s many people who are of the mindset that lockdowns did nothing/weren’t worth it, that’s prevalent in the US. If you think the activity is useless then it would look pretty bad given all the downsides of lockdowns
8yrs is better than 4yrs but worse than 12, 20, 30yrs.

I get that in some ways tech is different (my rice cookers still going, 60yrs) but in other ways it's not. My 2014 MBP really has zero reason to become obsolete (they stopped supporting it a year ago). It still functions just fine. It's still plenty fast. There are no features of the 2021 MBP missing from them 2014 MBP except at most USB-C ports.

So the recommended solution to losing your full time job and H-1B, is to get a part-time H-1B and a second job?!

If they were suing the builder, it was probably still a relatively new building.

Older buildings start getting hit with the "every 20/50 years" maintenance, and also get hit with lawsuits against the building/HOA itself. Those can start to add up over time.

And the size of the building can also affect it; a smaller building with the same amenities would have higher HOA fees.

I personally wouldn't touch them with a fifty state pole, but some people like it.
> Columbus parents had a small shop that sold wine and cheese in a small city called Savona. He became an explorer

Outliers aren't too helpful in analyzing this. The question is: do people get discouraged from seeing few people like them doing something? Yes, in general, they do.

e.g. even if 99.9% of women get discouraged and avoids the profession as a result, every single one that doesn't is an exception one can point to. Individual outliers don't lend any basis for argument.

> If this "theory" was true, we would all still be hunter gatherers.

This isn't a very meaningful point. I'm not talking about things in disequilibrium. I'm saying, if you're a kid looking at a whole bunch of basketball players that are very differently shaped than you: maybe there's something wrong with your shape to go to the NBA. If you're a girl and see everyone working in math is male, you may rationally wonder about whether there's a path for you to succeed working as a mathematician.

One of the bitter lessons I've learned is that when I think of something, I should always (always!) do a couple searches to see if anyone else has thought of it, before I commit to writing down my thoughts as novel or authoritative.

Someone (typically at Bell Labs in like 1973) has nearly always already had my thought, but then explored it in much richer, finer detail than I have. It's disappointing to learn I'm not an unmatched genius, but much more illuminating to read and think about how others have considered similar issues.

I don't fault Paul for not doing this, it happens to everyone, and I imagine he's quite busy. I do fault all the people who read this draft and didn't do this very easy exercise for him. I think it reflects a undue deference towards frankly uninformed and pretty basic observations.

That's usually what happens: assigned product people to engineering teams who focus on what the engineering team works on, then they report one level higher.

You shouldn't be seeing a new decision-making Product person every month or so - that's bad news bears.

It gets to this state naturally if your product is fairly large and has loose/well-defined modules that are distinct from one-another.
How does one go back and edit a stream of consciousness like that into an actual coherent thought later though?

I was just having a conversation similar to this where it was explained "this is just how people my age do things". While attempting to avoid boomer/millennial tropes, this does make me wonder how much different schooling is now vs then (hoping to avoid those memes too).

I was always getting in trouble for just saying whatever came to mind vs slowing down to think if it really needed to be said or more specifically how it was said.
