These are all pretty much problems on a short horizon and only if you compromise emergency savings to finance your rental property, which isn’t a great idea. Once you’ve established rental income and a few years of paying on loan this situation flips and your income stream becomes an asset in these situations.

these companies will gaslight you saying customers love plastic but the reason they do plastic packaging is because it reduces packaging and shipping costs

But that’s what customers love: undamaged, well packed goods at low prices.

I don’t think there’s anyone claiming that people just “love plastic” in the abstract.

I don’t disagree with you that regulation is likely the only way to enforce more responsible plastic use. The only other way is to find more responsible alternatives that do the things plastic does at similar or ideally lower cost.

It's not that they revert, it's that the care and feeding is a part of this. Most hogs grow tusks, but they are docked or trimmed in some fashion. All pigs, even the "classic" pink cute ones you might think of when you think farm pig are covered in coarse "fur" though it is not as thick as you find on a feral hog like a razorback or some other such thing.

Edit: also, I didn't even think about this when I first wrote this, but we also butcher hogs VERY young, so they haven't had time to develop those "wild" traits yet by the time they are market size. So that might be part of it, too.

When they put that private property declaration in there, they still had a one-child policy, which they ended for practical, not ideological reasons. That is a more potent instantiation of communism than economic policy or property rights.
I spent a lot of time working on projected cap interfaces and it's a tough tradeoff. Companies love the idea because you greatly simplify the cost of manufacturing. That VW steering wheel control can be one piece of molded plastic with a PCB or flex circuit glued behind it and you're done. The cost of tooling and molding separate buttons, or a molded silicone octopus, can be a lot more.

Making it work well with sensitivity and haptics is another mountain to climb. Apple is probably the best at that and if there's anything really advanced it's locked behind a few dozen patents and nobody else is using it. The old home button is the best example of what VW was probably trying to shoot for.

I'd also wager that VW is killing it because of chip shortages but it making it feel like a win for the customers. You complained we listened etc etc etc.

Well because employment is an agreement to which both sides agree voluntarily. Workers can quit unilaterally, why shouldn't management have the same right?

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not opposed to workers protections in general, but I think of them as a pragmatic benefit to the broader society. In general, I don't see it as immoral or unethical for either side to terminate an ongoing voluntary commercial relationship.

The same kind of "and not even accurate medieval Europe" complaint as the article, when I do agree with you that the myopic focus on Europe is more important, but... the introduction of the potato was so influential to social relations that it is kind of appalling to consider how casually it's used in supposedly pre-Columbian settings!
>It's the "opinion" of pretty much everyone in the geopolitical community.

How exactly did Russia sneak so deep into enemy territory to blow it up and sneak back out again? Especially considering how incompetent we hear that they are in literally every single article written?

I've yet to read a single explanation of this, and in fact you would think we're not supposed to look on a map and ask ourselves this question since it doesn't seem to even be asked by "everyone in the geopolitical community".

Doesn't that seem strange?
It makes sense. The Mac Mini is what you get if you want to make a Mac or iOS app, but you want to keep your Windows or Linux system for daily use.

On a similar note, I wish OS updates came not just with supported hardware list, but also how well an OS works on older hardware.

I have a late 2013 15” MBP with 16GB RAM as my daily driver, and it was great till it had Mojave on it. In a moment of insanity I decided to update it to Big Sur , since it was no longer getting security updates.

And guess what, it massively effed it up. It became much slower, services started taking unnecessary CPU and memory pressure running into yellow more frequently.

I took a look and I am not sure anymore. I found this: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/79102/what-is-the-na...

The first answer links to a couple different cases. I am not a lawyer but it does seem that a private company can be considered a state actor in certain cases. However I cannot find anything to say whether an administration asking a social media company to censor ideas they don't like would would be considered one of those cases or not. Seems like until a court rules on it, it could go either way.

Probably a combination of Netty having a small default thread pool size (2*cores) and the benchmark doing something blocking or compute intensive. Tomcat defaults to 200 threads, which would explain the difference.

Edit: Though the page says "The controller does nothing except return a simple 200".

I believe it's the origin of "bootstrapping" as a verb, in which it immediately becomes unironic technical jargon.

i.e. as in getting a start-up off the ground or, when shortened further, "booting" a computer.
The difference is whether or not they colluded with their supposed competitors to set rents twice as high.
No buying a house with a personal mortgage requires you to have that house as your primary residence only for 1 year. That's pretty much the core behind the concept of house hacking. Buy, live there for 1 year, move and rent it out, repeat.

I'm hoping that eventually we'll get around the idea of a crowd-sourced search engine (mostly manually curated) maintained in the manner of Wikipedia, backed by a solid user reputation system to dissuade spammers.

This will import Wikipedia's serious flaws. But I'm hopefully that they can gradually be mitigated.
Older designs are better for this. The tighter we push tolerances the sooner failures will happen.

Since you haven’t set any performance requirements… if you are happy with using a RTOS instead of something like Linux, you could look at super basic parts, no electrolytes drying out in solid state capacitors.

I’d be pretty confident a high end Arduino style Atmel/AVR based “computer” could be easily designed to last 20 years or even longer. Add some redundancy and dip switches or electronic fuses for failover to the replacement parts, as rare as such failures would be in older style designs.

Because we understand so much more about how the underlying mechanisms work, out of necessity in order to develop more advanced designs, but understanding these things means we could also develop older style things more reliably.
It's not that updates are necessarily bad.

It's when they try to launder in a bunch of "feature" updates (i.e. more spyware, more crapware) with needed security updates.

They force the user to make a decision: Do I skip this update and avoid having new "features" from crippling my machine, or do I download the update to prevent my machine from being hacked?

If vendors really gaf, they would make is so that you could download needed security updates w/o the rest of the garbage. But then they couldn't force more malware on you.
They should give them away. I’d never spend $600 on any kind of windows product. Maybe we can install linux on it? But you’d have to be smoking crack not to buy a mac mini m1. It’s the best computer I ever used hands down

The need to get up and urinate breaks my sleep into two parts on many nights, and sometimes it's hard to get back to sleep afterwards, leading to very little sleep for those days. I've tried not drinking liquids after noon, and it would still plague me pretty often. I guess it could be that I sleep too lightly between REM phases, maybe, so that minor disturbances wake me up?
You're.... you're not wrong.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but Haskell developers should definitely write tests, and good ones know how to write good tests. The type system eliminates the need for some forms of testing, but not all.

Just like the time right before that, when Greenspan cut rates and kept them low fueling another major asset bubble. It's almost like that's the new normal.

If only someone could get a loan using the historical average rate.
> As for the license plates, they are no more aerodynamic than they were 30 years ago, which makes them a better source for insect measurement.

I agree with this, but not the claim that there are studies showing this number is consistent with the past. The linked discussion also seems to imply that sampling rate corresponds with the decline in insect populations, unless I missed something.

Because the "energy crisis" is actually a political crisis, i.e. the failure of governments to build enough alternate generators, like solar and wind power during the last decade or two.

I'm really sure, because the videos show people unpacking a small electrical heater after telling you that "a student" or "an engineer" developed this glorious device in their spare time, ... And last but not least because we built our house with a heat pump and heat exchanging ventilation[*] more than a decade ago, so I'm aware of the concepts.

What is your probability of being admitted to Harvard?
It comes down to incentives. No one on the supply side is incentivized to make a product the average consumer WANTS. They are incentivized to make something that the consumer will wind up BUYING. And all of their incentives are extremely short-term, from the CEO on down, and UP, to the shareholders. All we care about is stock price. That's it. Everything, inside and out, tracks back to the singular god of share price. You can say that the trade press cares about something else, but, no, they don't. If internal metrics are making middle managers hit their KPI's, then that tracks with share price, no matter how screwed up those KPI's are. It's all just so perverse and incestuous.
How do you know if things are early though? Some go longer than others, so you can see some quack getting attention and buy in - just in time to be the last fool as everyone else realizes it is garbage. Or it can continue to go up - you have no way to know.

He's referring to the fact that Rust programmers try very hard to avoid using `unsafe` blocks. Which is a good thing, but he's trying to make it sound like it's just people being snooty or something.

A better way to put it would be "how does the frequent need to use unsafe code in embedded square with Rust programmers' general desire to avoid unsafe code?"

But then it's a boring question and the answer is obvious - they still try to avoid it.
Yeah. Fuck all those former transparent PMs! Now we've got one 'of colour'

Something like this is how I got my start programming. I was gobsmacked at how fragile it was, started looking for ways to harden/improve it, and went down the rabbit hole.
Yes. Technologists seem to have a blindspot around Chromebooks even though they are quite popular.

Related rant to OP: compute power is so ubiquitously affordable nowadays that there is no excuse for apps to be slow even on these cheapest new devices.

I recently made a 3D game in my custom engine for the Ludum Dare 51 game jam[0] and I was shocked to see it run at a solid 50fps on a $118 IdeaPad 3[1].

50fps means every _20ms_ the game does at least:

- builds an oct-tree and auxiliary data structures for 1000+ physics objects, traverse this to find collisions, solve all physics constraints, compute new transform matrices for each obj.

- serialize and upload each object, view, and scene data to the igpu (no dedicated gpu)

- do vertex transformations on ~25k vertices + rasterize 30k triangles TWICE: once for the main camera, once for the shadow camera; rendering to 5 textures/gbuffers

- run two post processing passes over 1,049,088 pixels, doing outline + concavity detection, vignette, and gamma correction (18 texture samples per pixel).

- all the game logic including: reading inputs, character controller, firing cannons, updating projectiles, splintering meshes, updating game state, audio, UI, custom ECS query engine, etc.

The whole payload, unminified code + 3D assets + sound + textures, is 1.2mb over the wire. This is an engine I built over the last ~year in javascript(!), so it's not had nearly as much optimization as Unity etc.

And yet every day I encounter websites and apps that fail to be responsive to even basic button clicks. There's no excuse for this.

I think in fact that the sequence can be changing, based on some secret and e.g. current time. Haven't had a chance to implement anything like that, though, and not sure if there's software that supports such an arrangement. It's true however that above some effort it's more of a meaningless flex, and the proper aim of hiding the ports from most attackers would be achieved long before fancy combinations.
> Shiva Star was also used to develop an experimental weapon known as MARAUDER for the SDI effort between 1989 and 1995. The idea appears to have been to create compact toroids of high-density plasma that would be ejected from the device using a massive magnetic pulse.[2] The plasma projectiles would be shot at a speed expected to be 3000 km/s in 1995 and 10,000 km/s (3.3% of the speed of light) by 2000. A shot has the energy of 2,27 kg of TNT exploding. Doughnut-shaped rings of plasma and balls of lightning exploded with devastating thermal and mechanical effects when hitting their target and produced pulse of electromagnetic radiation that could scramble electronics, the energy would shower the interior of the target with high-energy x-rays that would potentially destroy the electronics inside. The tests cost a few million dollars a year.[3] The project became classified, and no information about the fate of the project has been published after 1995.

Just saying, there's a reason most of the modern research on ABM tech is super classified. It's not hard to hit a missile at any speed when you're shooting a plasma cannon at .033C
