> but this ruling basically provides them a retro-active free time off

That is dehumanizing BS. No compassionate human being could possibly hold this view.

Going through the stress and humiliation of being fired for what turned out to be the wiser medical choice, and generally being unable to find a job for the same reason in a very uncertain economy, is not a vacation.
How is an OTA update much different than a policy change requiring all new cars to do {safety thing}? The rollout is slower, but the end state is consumers are forced to have {safety thing} in their car.
Isn't this several years old?

You could just use your great film sense to know when you're in an obligatory scene, or alternatively just skip the horrendously large liquid sugar infusion.
Vite uses it under the hood and has it running crazy fast.
Don’t worry - VVC found its way into the new Europe DVB Broadcast TV standard, as well as the upcoming Brazilian Broadcast TV standards.

(As for America, ATSC 3.0 / NextGen TV uses… HEVC. Better than MPEG-2, I guess.)
I feel challenged, but capable. My body has been anxious, but I have been able to deal with daily life quite effectively.
Fearmongering or maybe you just haven't been watching? Apple has already been doing advertising for years now. They make it quite easy to disable any tracking you might be concerned about. There's zero reason to think they'll change that.
Building up is vastly more difficult than hanging something.

The best engineering on earth is still under a km in compression. To hang a steel cable 150km all you have to do is make it skinnier towards the bottom.

The engineering issues of the bit at the top might be a bit eye-watering. A 100% reliable maglev sled supporting 100s of tonnes coasting on a catenary supported by centripetal force sounds like a recipe for the world's largest whip.

Launch loops start to sound less scifi as a space megaproject (although then we're back tosuper weapons)
>Apart from selling more hardware, which is their one and only goal ?

This is probably better stated as two goals: lower costs, higher sales (profit = sales - costs). Dropping support increases the costs line in effect as it's a consumer happiness. But it also decreases it by reducing the support cost (multiple logic paths to support / more code / more bugs etc.)
The software running on a specific ROM might not be able to change (assuming we're talking for devices using mask ROM and not EEPROM) but it doesn't mean the code itself is supposed to be disposable. Different devices or revisions of the same device can benefit from code changes. Even on the same device unit, they might want to replace the ROM chip to include some fix if it's important enough and makes financial sense. The software itself transcends the constraints of any particular delivery medium.
OTOH, I can’t tell you the number of mid (or even poorly) performing teams whose lead tells me that everyone on the team is well above average. (I guess logically that I can only conclude that it’s a team leadership problem causing the under-performance...)
> How do courts declare certain executive orders unconstitutional, and yet the perpetrators, who took an oath to uphold and defend said rights and values, face no consequences?

Isn't this like saying developers should suffer consequences if they allow bugs to get into their code? Because we are perpetrators of flawed code, like law makers are perpetrators of flawed laws?

> Regardless of one's opinion of said rights, how do courts blatantly ignore rulings and orders from higher courts with no repercussions?

Because to do otherwise is to abandon civil process (where people get to argue about laws, and they have the right to be wrong without further consequence than being wrong) and enters into what would effectively devolve into mob rule.
DALL-E 2 Fails to Reliably Capture Common Syntactic Processes
Great. Soon, we'll have scripts written in GPT non-sense with actors and other imagery generated by stable diffusion. I'm guessing they'll still charge $15 prices at the theater for it.
There are numerous aspects of American employment law wherein the harm of unemployment may be considered. For instance, it is relevant in cases of employment discrimination, and many states also have laws surrounding acceptable reasons for termination of employment. It is clearly not a priority of the legal system, but it is sometimes a relevant consideration.
Or just have HR actually do their jobs and understand who is and isn't creating value instead of setting arbitrary salary caps...
Ah, so this is why Vercel hired Tobias. Makes sense, and it could only gain traction with a company like Vercel behind it. Webpack is legacy now, supplanted by Rollup/Vite, ESBuild, et al. The only folks I know still using webpack are stuck with it (e.g. Next users)
100%. One counterexample (unfortunately the only one that comes to mind) is sales, where performance has an immediate positive cash & profit impact that is trivial to measure. Top salespeople can earn more than the CEO's of their companies.

In the backend of the org, this is harder to do, because the impact is hard to measure and comes to fruition later in the game.

One solution is to have small teams of engineers that own their companies - ie, millions of tiny startups. That way, brilliant contributions lead to large profits for the contributor.

But how engineers can be fairly compensated in large orgs, I'm not sure. This is a fundamentally hard problem. Removing the salary ranges might help.
If pay were calculated by seniority, and not title, how else would it work?
Not at all. I've been spotty about flu shots! I was struck by the "unnecessary medical intervention" thing.
Not merely arbitrary. From the decision:
"This Court aggress that the Commissioner cannot enact a term of employment on City employees and has exceeded his scope of authority..."
GDP per capita is not the only metric by which America is wealthier than other developed countries. Median incomes are also higher.
HEVC encoding is far more mature. Encoders are faster, of better quality, and hardware acceleration exists. Additionally, for video playback outside of a PC, HEVC support is ubiquitous, AV1 support is virtually unknown.
I've been experimenting with the idea of fitting a very small low power SoC IoT jobber into the expansion port on the bottom, plugging it into the serial port, and getting this baby online. Termcap entry in this modern age is no longer packaged in any OS I am aware of but I was successful in digging one up somewhere. I've been able to log into and use several IoT devices which fit into the bay without an issue after importing the termcap entry. Only problem is packaging the thing properly and figuring out how to do it in an expansion pack which doesn't require modification of the computer.

Add a light and boom, the first laptop is also a fine cyberdeck for terminal hacking.
A highly experiential vaccine with no known long term research. Almost no research trials at all. It came out after many people had already been exposed. Yet still forcing them to take it.
Now we find out they did NOT test if it slows transmission.
From evidence. It clearly doesn’t help.

Now a ton of weird heart issues are starting up in younger populations that weren’t at serious risk anyway.
This isn’t science. It’s attempt to control people.

It should have been encouraged but not forced.

It’s completely evil how this topic was used to divide the nation.
The judicial branch is not in the executive or legislative branch. Courts can invalidate laws and regulations from the executive or legislative branches. It is called Checks & Balances. It has kept power distributed for almost 250 years, preventing it from becoming concentrated in any one branch of government. Should that occur, you'd have bad actors enacting a one-party tyrannical state and tens of millions would die, mostly through starvation, but a good many through a state apparatus. It is familiar music. Our civilization has had to deal with such bad actors for a very long time, but despite the lessons of the past, there are still some who desire the one-party state. There is no sign that we, as a species, has completely eliminated the lust for power that's innate in humanity. It is for this reason that the founding fathers hard-coded such things into our nation which act as a stop-gap for tyrants.
In his (also excellent) article about the AF447 crash, the same author explains that the stall warning on the Airbus 330 went off when airspeed dropped below 60kt, because such a speed was considered impossible in flight.

This is believed to have been a contributing factor to the confusion of the pilot flying: the more he pitched up, the more he stalled (as would be expected)... yet it made the warning go off.

It's only natural to shy away from outlier values. I think the reason is that we want to place any input into a system, and outlier values don't fit, so we simply ignore them.

It takes a special mindset to focus on outliers or even to accept them.
The word "quietly" should be banned from all tech headlines. What should Google have done? Launched a $10M marketing campaign to publicize this change?
How will they offset the emissions that are harmful, but not carbon, from the aluminum refining process most their products use and the diesel used to ship countless cargo containers of their products?

Do they just pretend that the emissions from their likely hundreds of parts suppliers don't count?

What do they intend to do about their products having a short lived lifespan and then are thrown away or sent to the third world for a horrific "recycling" process.

I am going to guess if I took a bunch of iPhones, ground them up in a blender and then filtered water through it no Apple exec would drink it.

Planting trees is great and all, but this is hilariously misleading. Just seems like a big distraction.
I was evaluating Kotlin for a Spring Boot project a few years ago and would have loved to have programmed in it, but this was exactly why I stuck with Java.
> I am not aware of any car manufactures that send mechanics to your home to replace your airbags without your consent.

Not exactly a fair comparison. Mechanics coming to your home isn't economical and would require gov policy (and subsidy) to enforce.

I think a better comparison is if the gov acts a policy such that "all new cars much have {update}." As the old vehicles breakdown, everyone is forced to have the new update.

This is a slower process, but has the same end as an OTA update.
The argument at the time was that it was "creating a double standard that disadvantaged local artists and athletes" compared to performers that were not residents of NYC (but commuted in for work).

> HEVC with Widevine DRM is not supported

This isn't true at all. True, HEVC doesn't support Box level encryption like MP4 does, but nothing is stopping anyone from just AES encrypting an entire fragment, as has been used for years with HLSe. The fact that MP4 uses box level encryption is one of the stupidest tech-related things I have ever seen. It forces anyone who wants to decrypt (or encrypt) to write a full MP4 parser, instead of just utilizing existing encryption tools on some "dumb bytes". Once people realize that you can just use HLSe method with HEVC, websites can then pull the keys from the M3U files and just return them from Widevine license requests instead.
> Startups are fun to work for early on, when complications like these don't exist. It requires more than "the best engineers" to keep up development velocity, let alone feature velocity.

This blog post (which is pretty high quality for a content-marketing piece) talks about exactly these issues: https://archive.is/FQKJH (athenian.com), Scaling Your Team From 5 to 250 Engineers.
> It's hard to see HEVC as anything else than a legal liability.

I actually think the truth is the exact reverse. HEVC has easy-to-license patent pools. A couple of clicks and done.

The patent situation surrounding AV1 is complex. It claims to be a free format but multiple entities claim patents that cover it. A submarine patent lawsuit seems likely.
Yes, it is a valid argument in this case. However, the court has to consider the strength of that argument in relation to other arguments.
It's not true at all, emissions are trending down globally thank God even tho many countries really don't give a fuck
Yes, it does generally lead to ER (particularly for stress symptoms being confused for something serious) now and then.
Wikipedia only shows the 1939 Kiddicraft design. The 1947 design and LEGO resemble each other much more: https://youtu.be/iFELcl75CiY?t=239

The entire video is about how LEGO's only own innovation seems to be the tube pattern at the bottom for more stability.
You're getting some snarky replies but I can totally see this being included in a management methodology to get the most out of an IC. It's not a good thing but it would work on some
When a language has only one practical choice of IDE, that's a red-flag to me.
Learned the first and second lesson here the hard way; two times, we were burned by folks representing a "full stack" skillset with a preference for frontend, but what we got were React devs who've done small amounts of work in the backend.

That said, if they had been smart/willing enough to pick it up quickly we'd have probably been fine, but both ended up falling into oddly similar mental health spirals and washed out after 3-4 months each.

We never ended up filling the role, and are using the funds to hunker down through this VC downturn or until we can find P/M fit. Honestly seems fine, the volume of work isn't really justified in a 3rd engineering hire right now, we need to improve sales.
Yes, that's exactly it. There's no market for manual transmissions except for a very small minority of users.
X is a protocol just like Wayland. One of those protocols contains a standardized interface to implement window managers the other doesn't. The argument people are trying to make is that a display stack should have such a standardized interface.

I can shame who I want. Until you go vegan or part time vegan and adjust your lifestyle you're not serious about climate change.
Social interaction which is based on mutual trust (whether from family or sustained direct interpersonal interaction) is not really what we're talking about here. Folk dance festivals do not feed the world. The social structure of modern society is, by and large, about interactions between mutually distrusting strangers and their agents as they negotiate the exchange and distribution of economic resources. Basically everything you own and consume was produced by people you've never seen or interacted with.
The issue currently is that we have gone from around 88% fossil fuels to 83% fossil fuels in the last ~2 decades.

Electricity and power make up around 20% of global use, with manufacturing taking a portion of the pie closer to 30%. Migrating those systems is a very large hurdle, but I'll admit that whilst doing some investing around this recently, it seems to be a clear target by many organisations. Migrating traditional manufacturing processes for chemicals and base materials is going to have a massive impact on the overall situation.

In saying all this, the idea that we will be anything close to decarbonised by 2030 is a joke of epic proportions, the scale of the problem is mind boggling. Not that that means we shouldn't try, as it's a very necessary goal. But I actually think being more realistic about the scale of the issue is more likely to generate more interest in crafting fixes, as opposed to these bullshit goals that in many ways, make the problem sound solveable within the timeline. Which it isn't.
Yes they can. Any EU member state can leave.
Vite's momentum is too much to stop right now imho
Seniority has a very real value in tech, though. It probably doesn't have much value if you're say, a doctor, working with different systems each time that look similar.

But in programming, you deal with systems, you know the undocumented gotchas of the system, and understand the flow of it better than someone who's completely new to it. You know when Chesterton's fence applies and when it doesn't. I often tell startups to promote the juniors instead of replacing them with seniors, because the junior who built the system would be able to modify it better.

Even in sales and product, there's some value to understanding what the customer wants and aligning that to the features or a specific pitch and such.
you made the right choice.
You can run stable diffusion on a MBP and produce images in under a minute. It's training these models that takes the crazy GPU power - running them is quite reasonable.

Correct, which is why I spoke mostly of Presidents and Parties who are all big enough targets that most American voters do form opinions about what they’re up to, even with only vague notions about the details. Individual members of Congress can usually skate by, but that’s only as true as their district or State is uncompetitive.

And in States where “big issue” lawmaking is deferred to the public via referendum on a regular basis there’s almost no incentive at all to mind what the legislature or governor is doing; especially if tax increases also have to be voter approved. Who do you hold accountable when it’s the voters who make a bad decision about a law?
Nooo, as literally a person doing this right now, splitting up the work is a terrible idea.

Almost everything you do is "wasted" effort at this stage (until it suddenly isn't, and arguable if failed experimentation is "wasted" in the first place), you need to be okay with that when in this role, and everyone needs to know how to do everything if you want to even have a prayer of a chance at a normal life.

You must learn new tech quickly, and pivot to different decisions if it makes more sense to do something another way. You also must be okay with terrible code written hastily, as long as it's good enough to not have any fatal bugs in it, and the only way I know how to do that is to have another person to validate/refute your work.
What's the point? No one is using it on the Web and if anyone will try to use it commercially, they'll be eaten by patent trolls like MPEG-LA. Google might afford shelling out money to those trolls to add it to the browser, but not everyone is Google. So it's basically DOA. Did anything change about that recently?

> Great feature, but where is the necessary hype!?

There is surely no need for any hype for dead end technology.

I mean not all of this is because of conscious improvements based on improving emissions. Every new generation of processor is going to take less energy to operate and every new generation of power management chip is going to be more efficient.

Still...good to see it's dropping.
That's a generic function. That's not what I'm talking about.
It was pretty silly, but then again Morbius took itself very seriously and wasn't entertaining at all.

There are too many superhero movies. I like the format, they can be very enjoyable, but the more the genre expands the more it has to mine parody, bathos, and other comedic techniques. Even Shakespeare wrote some stinkers.
The linked post mentioned that the compiler itself does compile faster, but not by much. Memory usage is the greatest impact of stage2.

The speed will come when the native backends are finished. Right now the compile time is mostly llvm. The idea is a native and fast backend for debug (development) builds, and llvm for optimized releases.
Reason, Sony Vegas (with some mic emulation plugin, can't remember it) made me a good chunk of cash doing CD-ROM soundtracks back in the day, and I wish I still had that setup set up here in Linux.

I also wish I could have kept my TurboCAD license for Linux somehow when I moved away from Mac OS. It would have been fun to keep learning.

(Actually I admit that what frightens me is: I get those running under Wine somehow and am off and away, and just never find the time to use them again :-/)

I also miss running some WinAmp 5.x skins in Linux, not sure if these are supported now. I also liked the ~2003 era internet radio stations list that came with it, in a themed window. So I use qmmp and 3.x skins.

In vintage Linux software I really miss that I could do icon scaling & free icon layout in Gnome back around 2009. Not sure if that's still possible but I use XFCE now most of the time anyway.

You could scale individual icons in two clicks, and turn icons into a sort of functional, interactive desktop wallpaper design that was more interesting than the standard grid.

The mystery is who is paying whom ? Is Microsoft paying for HEVC licences ? Google ? Distributor ? Silicon vendors ? All of them ? The question above is, "Why use HEVC(pay) when AV1 exists ?". Or, "Why care about AV1 if everyone is paying ?"
It's probably being done for Apple TV+ compatibility. Apple uses HEVC for that.
@asyncCall is exactly the sort of thing the original function colors calls out.
