It's common for young people to not care what Microsoft does, when they haven't experienced a different world. Apple doesn't look much different from MS of today, so it seems perfectly reasonable to see software slowly weaponized against developers. Microsoft has viciously abused their marketshare in the past and it's likely they will do so again. How does that affect you? Doesn't seem to right now (unless you're unlucky, right?).

Can you please link to a Youtube video or article indicating that Nintendo management thought the Gameboy or NES would be a failure or that Sony thought that the Playstation would be a failure.

I am looking at some quick sources that I can find, and it looks like the complete opposite, that the management at Nintendo was very eager to develop a home video game console based on the success of their arcade games. They believed in the NES so much that when Atari bailed on its partnership agreement with them (due in no small part to the video game crash of 83), they went ahead and decided to do it alone.

Here is an article that was posted to HN awhile back that does a very deep dive into the development of the NES. It's an excerpt from the book "Console Wars" and it does not paint a picture at all like the one you're suggesting:

http://grantland.com/features/the-rise-of-nintendo-video-gam...

A relevant quote is:

"Yamauchi wanted Nintendo to aggressively get into the videogame business, which was really two separate businesses: home consoles and coin-operated arcade games. He saw the potential in these industries and took the necessary steps for Nintendo to enter both."

As an FYI, Yamauchi was the President of Nintendo.

It doesn’t even matter — going back to the car example, say you drive near 1-2 thousand cars on an hour drive, if you have 2-3 scary experiences, that makes you think “drivers here suck!” So a sample size of like .1% makes you think a problem applies to 50% of drivers.

Recruiter here.

For permanent employees, the answer is 'yes', unfortunately.

In recruiting, optimal time for tenure is between 2-5 years - thought to be enough time to get substantive work done, remove most doubts on capability of working with others, demonstrate loyalty to the company, and reciprocal trust from employer back to you.

Any longer than you may start to move into institutionalised territory, especially if there has also been no career progression during that time. Over 10 years at the same employer, I think recruiters will make note of it, but not immediately reject. 15 years plus, and recruiters will look for others, whilst keeping you in a 'call later' pile.

This is all biased but shortcuts is what we need to do operate in the world. Advice for folks wanting to keep optimal market attraction - 2-5 years tenure on perm contracts

Yes, "frequency grid" would have been better terminology. Common spacing for WDM is 50 GHz between adjacent frequencies (it's ITU spec'd iirc), and those rely on feedback system to maintain the spacing precision.
I honestly don't understand the hostility these guys get. Is there something you're specifically skeptical about? Is it their ability to make/obtain an appropriate compute pack? Their first review unit video shows one. It's physical size seems doable, though it's still being worked on. What's the problem?

> At this point, Copilot strikes me as a tool that replaces googling for stack overflow answers

I feel like there are 3 categories in that idea:

1. mapping local vars to function call (and related, how to feed the output of a function into another function from the same library)

2. coming up with a minimal runnable example of a given function

3. semantic search for which function to use for a task

docs shipped with a library often fail at this, but there are things languages can add to get better at all 3. In particular, syntax for automatically consuming local vars in function calls, and in the package manager, extracting function comments and offering global indexes.
They are preparing us for when they put phone grade cams in the MacBook: “We compressed everything you love about the iPhone camera, and it’s entire ecosystem, into this tiny, adorable little bump on the lid” complete with a $5M, 30 second video intro. And then it will be the coolest wart ever.

Low density rented housing doesn't get things like solar either. In houses, even double glazing and windows that don't leak can't be counted on in my experience. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere as an adult that didn't have some things broken that I'd fix if I was allowed to (and would be fairly cheap to fix).

Some renters are rough on property, but many renters are not and look after the property the best they can, considering they are generally forbidden from doing any proper improvements or maintenance.

After all, many renters don't want to keep moving (and are not renting by choice), especially if they have children in school or a job nearby, so they have reason to look after the property they are in for as long as they can stay.

What are you basing that claim on? The only part recognizable from experience for me is the innovation claim and even that is dubious since the entire industry is plateauing as things mature.

Sure, these are all possibilities. With sufficiently able individuals who are sufficiently informed, we simply create the treatment and permit the individuals to select as required. For instance, the patient can choose to either suffer temporarily with the hope of the future positive outcome for the suffering or they can choose the immediate solution.

If the patient is not sufficiently able to choose due to being mentally unable and the drug is likely to bring them back to lucidity, then it is obvious that bringing them into a lucid state is the logical path, so we should recommend administering the drug.

For my part, I've noticed that people who dwell on these traumas have a hard time. Meanwhile I've suffered numerous things that many of these people claim have led to debilitating mental illness and I operate in a space of mental comfort. So, should I encounter another trauma event, I'll take the forgetting drug.

And presumably you, believing otherwise, should refuse it.

P.S. Here's a thought experiment for you: What if the MMR-2 vaccine instantaneously kills people at the age of 60. It was introduced in 1963 and this year is 2022, so the first recipients are not yet 60. So you simply cannot prove that it does not do this. You have a son. How do you reason whether to risk the possibility of instantaneously killing your son when he hits 60 vs the risk of him contracting any of Measles, Mumps, or Rubella?

Asbestos encapsulates a problem with society at large. We, unfortunately, are simply too binary in our thinking "Oh, asbestos causes cancer? We better purge it from everything everywhere".

The context of when and why (and to who) asbestos causes cancer is simply ignored.

This sort of problem exists everywhere. If something bad happens or is caused by something (politics, economics, etc) we are simply too quick to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The bottomline is, for men, talking over taking action as a strategy is likely a detriment rather than a benefit or even just a neutral. How that strategy works out for women, or how it ranks among other strategies, is not relevant to GP's point. The only implication "feminizing" has here, is that women are not nearly as punished for prioritizing talking as a strategy as men are.

From my perspective, there is no "web3" community. The consequence of easy money is you get a lot of bad products that inevitably fail. This is not limited to crypto, this is the tech industry in general (social networking, big data, social commerce, location based social, etc.). Groupon, Google Wave, Foursquare, delivery service X, etc, they come and go. So I don't put much stock into the hype, there will always be fads and trends.

My impression is that modern office buildings are basically stacks of exhibition halls. You can repurpose them easily and build the infrastructure you need. The biggest obstacle to converting them to residential is not plumbing or elevators but the lack of windows near the core.

Of course, it's not the modern centrally located office buildings that are vacant but the older ones at more remote locations. Converting those is going to be more expensive, and it may be more cost-effective to simply demolish them and build new residential.

Interesting, I think moderation of big subreddits is one of the worst things about reddit - its unpaid labor, so the only people willing to invest the time tend to be petty tyrants.

It's more than that. It's the obsessive monetization of common products.

I was fine with the crappy plastic stuff we had 20 years. There was some expectation that a refrigerator works as a refrigerator, a toaster as a toaster, a bathroom scale as a bathroom scale. It might break after 3-5 years, but I could buy another for cheap while trying to remain ignorant of the environmental impact.

Fast forward to today. The core functionality is incidental to the real goal of these devices: Data collection and advertising.

A refrigerator might work as a refrigerator, but it's really there to spy on my eating habits and pump ads through the monitor. In many ways, it's a refrigerator in name only. The core functionality is secondary.

There could be a million updates to the refrigerator's firmware, but all in the mission of making sure the DC and adware software keeps working. Maybe there will be one relevant to actual refrigeration itself.

And there isn't any way out of this. One could propose buying a fridge from the 1950s, but do I want to pay for the power consumption of that device?

It's just sad to see that in today's society, there isn't more outrage about core functionality not working as intended. At a minimum, I could turn a blind eye to DC/ads if that toaster actually toasted bread. But I can't even be guaranteed that anymore.
The fact is that Music is still iTunes, a terrible jukebox app that Apple bought.

For years after iTunes launched, you could be listening to Internet radio (REAL Internet radio, not Apple's BS "radio"), and there'd be artist and song metadata displayed in iTunes. But could you click on that and say "buy song from iTunes?" NO. I mean... WTF, I wanted to spend money on iTunes but Apple didn't allow that.

To my knowledge that was NEVER fixed. Incredible.

I used to work at a computer shop and one of the things we always offered and pushed quite strongly when customers brought a new computer was a free setup service. As part of that setup service we uninstall all of the junkware that new computers come with pre-installed and install some useful applications like Libre Office and Chrome.

The primary reason we did this was because if we didn't it was very likely customers would eventually bring the computer back and complain that it's running slow or that some software had stopped working (30-day office trial, etc).

It's kind of insane that companies ship computers with so much junk on them because it literally degrades their product for anyone who doesn't know how to service a computer. I always thought it would be easy win to just ship a computer without all the junk and just some useful freeware...
Wow. Do you happen to know what it was they gave her?
That’s the previous commenter’s point, isn’t it? The crypto advocates claim that crypto has intrinsic value simply because of its scarcity (supply-side only). The commenter’s rebuttal is that if this were true, their kid’s doodles would be extremely valuable, yet they are not because only the parent treasures them (demand-side).

With gold, one can come up with a plausible story for the demand side of the argument that it has intrinsic value: gold’s combination of beauty and scarcity has made it a potent status symbol across many eras and cultures (not to mention its industrial uses).

With crypto, it’s much harder to imagine what the demand side of the story is. There’s a finite supply of Bitcoin, and people demand it because… well, it’s not because they can pay for anything with it. They mostly seem to demand it because they believe someone else will pay them more for it in the future. And what do we call it when an asset has nothing going for it besides that hope?

I’m still waiting for a compelling story about why demand for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency will persist beyond the current vogue, which is driven by the notion that “it’s gonna be huge in the future”. How long can people keep the faith, and what happens to demand if and when they stop?

> At this point, Copilot strikes me as a tool that replaces googling for stack overflow answers.

I've never seen anyone put a license on code they post on stack overflow, so I imagine you agree to release code in your answers under a permissive license (MIT, e.g.) when signing up on stack overflow.

On github however, it's common to put a "LICENSE" file in a repository. Github even automatically shows you what license it is when its content is a known, widely used license. They do that automatically.

But somehow, with all their fancy AI magic, it's too hard for github's employees to use the same automated licensing code to decide whether or not they should share licensed code. They could also slap on a comment saying: "WARNING: this code is licensed under the <license name> license." They could even expand that, saying: "Your repository has the <license name> license, so in order to use this code you'd have to change your license."

Github could fix this issue with a hash-map and an if-statement. By not doing so they're willfully letting people commit copyright infringement, and disrespecting everyones intelligence in the process.
