> As a consumer, AR seems so weird to me. I don't want to put on glasses or goggles to see overlays of the world around me. I want interfaces to be simpler, not more complicated and crowded.

As a counter anecdote, I fully support AR - the idea of Google glass would have been very appealing for me if they could actually use the lens as the screen and it was less bulky.

Perhaps it's just years of seeing heads-up displays in anime and sci-fi movies (e.g. Terminator) that's pushing my desire.

If they can eventually solve the bulk and creep issue (ie, always-on camera that can surreptitiously record at will) it will become a useful addition to the phone/watch personal nimbus of data.
Same feelings. I've been fascinated by ancient Egypt as long as I can remember and this is just about perfect.
As a consumer, I’ve actually come to prefer in app purchases. I love when a subscription is available on IAP because for something like a newspaper, I know that I can cancel it with a couple of taps instead of having to fill out some long retention form or call someone.
Spotify is a horrible podcast player. The audio engine doesn't have nuanced speed control or remove silence like other dedicated podcast apps. I also find the podcast UI is terrible for managing shows and play list.

And then there's the bugs that don't get fixed for a long time. Last year they had one where every time a podcast was interrupted by a notification or something it would start over from the start.

Lastly spotify podcasts that are exclusive are not, by definition, a podcast because they don't have a valid rss feed. You might refer to them as shows but calling them podcasts ignores how podcasts are supposed to work in an open interoperable system.

And of course there's zero chance they will embrace podcast 2.0 features;

>Exxon spokesperson Amy von Walter rejects those characterizations. “The idea that ExxonMobil’s culture is what these employees say it is doesn’t hold water for two reasons: how many people join this company each year and how long people stay,” she wrote in an email.

Yeah, I feel like if you're focusing on "how long people stay", and also "how many people join" you're looking at entrenched middle management and rapid turnover of new hires.

What's really going on in that situation is that people are building little internal fiefdoms and engaging in petty middle management power plays like trying to sabotage each other's projects in case they make your own team look bad, and bloating your own department with unnecessary hires to enhance your own prestige. If you let certain kinds of people settle in to middle management they become like barnacles that are impossible to dislodge.

Those podcast recommendations (i.e. advertisements) that appear as image tiles in their apps are annoying but avoidable.

Recently they have started inserting random podcast episodes into my "Release Radar" playlists. Not happy with this development to put it lightly.
better question: why does this device even need a cloud? Why does a Roomba need a cloud? Why does a smart lightswitch, a doorbell, or any other of these devices need a cloud?

There is no reason. It's dumb. Sync over wifi to your computer and phone and use MDNS to discover them.
Well, their ads say that the cars have "Full Self Driving". That alone meets all the criteria for fraud.
>PHP is getting good, sometimes I feel better than Typescript even.

PHP is good, and has been for years. The Zend VM is probably top 3 in the world next to JVM and V8. Incredibly more performant than Ruby or Python. The bad rap that PHP got in the early days is from all the pre-7.0 spaghetti code that was written. It’s a solid choice nowadays.

> By the time we're in a position to 'pay back' the emitted CO2 we have to be well beyond CO2 neutral energy.

That certainty is not warranted.

Solar does seem much easier to generate than to store. It's uncertain how mobile usage will evolve on the short term. We have a lot of capital dependent on fossil fuels that won't be deprecated immediately. And finally, it's not clear if we can't do carbon capture at a loss before renewables win the market for generation.

Or, in conclusion, we should make a new global climate conference, with targets for capture. There is no reason for waiting the energy market to fully convert before doing it.
Compiler tricks in x86 assembly: Ternary operator optimization (2007)
Companies pay employees to increase the value of the company. The market is reasonably efficient and companies will increase pay to match the value created (somewhat correlated at least. startups often pay more with the hope it balances out in the future, established companies pay less since some of them print cash and they dont have to pay more to get candidates).

Many tech companies are down 80-95%. So if you used to pay employees 100 to generate 100, now you are paying 100 to generate 20 or in some cases 5. This only works if you can massively increase productivity or reduce cost.

There is no evil conspiracy, markets are just down
every other API is basically unimportant and arbitrary

Well, frontend-to-backend api is also unimportant and arbitrary, unless it’s designed for public use. Since for a user the page is always in sync with its server, this api is an implementation detail as much as any other internal api (e.g. between service processes or between async-threads)

Why do you think that the project separation is unavoidable in this case? E.g. some of my sites are simple express apps serving scripts and resources. I don’t have integrated build pipelines there because… well, that is exactly my concern. There seems to be no reason that we couldn’t have an ~isomorphic project with multiple entry points on multiple “ends” and a single build system for all of them.
>Federal Reserve aggressively raises borrowing costs to combat chronic inflation. [emphasis added]

Not sure why you used that word. I don't think it applies in this circumstance. Not trying to be pedantic/snarky, I just wonder why you characterize only 18 months or so of higher than has been seen in quite some time inflation as "chronic."

Chronic (adj.):[0]

1a : continuing or occurring again and again for a long
time
2a : always present or encountered
b : being such habitually

[0] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chronic

Edit: I note (after the fact) that the parent poster was quoting TFA and not making that statement themselves. My apologies for attributing that to alexb and not the AP article. That said, I still think it's odd that they'd use the term "chronic."
A lot of C/C++ developers still seem afraid of multi-generational collectors despite decades of their use in practice.

It depends what you think the important differences between a broadcast concert and an in-person concert are.

Is it the limitless resolution, and great venue acoustics and sound system?

Is it about the fact you're meeting up with your friends?

Is it about the atmosphere and energy of the crowd? The dancing, the fighting, the mingling?

Is it about the fact that if the performer tells you to make some noise, doing that at home to a video stream would be absurd?

Is it about the fact you might meet an attractive stranger, and go home with them?

Is it the fact you can buy drinks?

Is it about the intrinsic authenticity of a performance by a human, not a recording played by a machine or a copy of a copy of a copy?

Is it about being a singular moment, having experiences that can't be paused or replayed and are all the more real for it?

Is it about getting out of the house, and not being a shut-in?

Is it the cultural cachet and the fact you can post pictures on social media so other people will know you're cool?

Some of these a metaverse concert might be able to provide - you could produce a very high quality video stream with good sound, and an ability to talk with your friends.

Others the metaverse will never provide.

I respect your settlement on VS Code. What works, works. But 2010-2012 was seemingly ages ago compared to how well the Emacs ecosystem has modernized in such a short, recent timespan.

Looked for but couldn't find prices for, say, 1920s Levis. Wouldn't be surprised if they're not too far off from what you have to pay for actually-good jeans today, adjusted for inflation or as a fraction of median income.
All the tech you like took much, much longer to develop than 10 years. The first computer was 1945. The first “mobile” phone was 1946. The first video phone was 1956. The first “internet” was 1969. Electric cars were commercially available in 1900. These were all developed by giant companies that no longer exist.

Admitting that the decision to continue petroleum production is a cost benefit analysis and we still derive significant benefits from it is a conversation that much more than just the fringe environmentalists are unwilling to have. Had we been able to have these discussions earlier, we would have started working on carbon capture with much more credible allocations sooner.
You can't get herd immunity from vaccination with a virus like corona. This was known from the beginning. It mutates too fast. You end up training your immune system for an extinct variant and it responds poorly when presented with the latest variant. Herd immunity works great for measles and polio, the binding mechanism really doesn't survive mutations well for these virus.

And ethically, you are proposing these walled societies where children risk their health with poorly tested treatments to save the older generation? I find that abhorrent.
ffmpeg supports libaom, svt-av1 and rav1e. It's simply a matter of compiling it in. (Arch for example does by default)
First, I'm going to address your tone, because you are coming across as unnecessarily hostile and rude, not just to me, but also to the first poster you responded to.

My criticism in my follow up post is because you're offering a bright line rule but being very murky about when that rule applies.

You were offered my example, which was not pedantic but silly in order to make a point. You also rejected the Renaissance fair example which seems a pretty decent analog to the pigs because it is both a creative endeavor and meant to be authentic. Why precisely you rejected that idea isn't clear; my best guess is that you rejected it because the method of creation doesn't matter to you. I think, though, that there is some argument to be made either way on whether an item can be authentic if created without using authentic methods.

> But if you know that what you create has an effect on people, and you don't care whether that effect is good or bad, well, I don't see what other possible basis you could have for morality or ethics.

We are talking about misrepresenting medieval pigs, so if you want people to buy this appeal, you better explain what effect you think this will have on people's lives. (And you should then also explain why thinking an English mistake is correct won't have an equal or stronger effect on people's lives).

> This is barely debatable when it comes to chemical pollution, or building technology that enables predatory businesses, or even mental and ideological concerns like carelessly spreading falsehood because it benefits your political allies.

These are intentional acts that are completely different than ignorantly or apathetically meeting an existing expectation of how pigs look as a small piece of a larger work.

> Fiction is not so different, and in some ways just as powerful, just as dangerous. Why is it even a question whether this should be taken seriously?

This isn't the same claim. Maybe this is what you originally meant, but what you said is that people have an obligation to educate rather than lean into existing expectations when endeavoring creatively; and you said it in the context of the pigs.
Apple says “not all known security issues” are patched in updates for older OSes

> Even streaming internet radio over a 3G connection before the non-3G iPhone was released. The market wasn't wanting a smartphone, they wanted specifically an iPod phone.

In the US, I was not even aware of mobile broadband availability before iPhone 3G. And whatever quality mobile internet was available, I assumed was very costly and metered.

Some combination of the timing of iPhone 3G release coinciding with widespread deployment of 3G mobile broadband access and/or Apple negotiating ATT to provide unlimited data made it possible to have a little pocket computer that could stream whenever, wherever, however much you want.

That was a game changer. A lot of the big tradeoffs that people had to make with smartphones before iPhone 3G disappeared to make it a very compelling product compared to its competitors.
I mean, if you had the chance to experience being in the front row of the Super Bowl virtually vs watching a flat 2d perspective, some people would want the 3d immersive 'feel like you're there / presence' experience. Same goes for concerts, burning man type stuff, music festivals, an intimate jazz performance, a Broadway musical, going to a zoo virtually, tourism like being in the bottom of the grand canyon, etc.

They are not substitutes for the real thing they are substitutes for a 2D version that is usually pretty non-compelling.

The real limitation is that the lack of tactile feedback means that you are at most a spectator/voyeur in these experiences.
> Apple’s engineers should be left to come up with a solution

That’s precisely what we’re trying to avoid. Every company coming up with their own version that is definitely totally superior to the other companies’ and thus incompatible

> I do see research finding strong negative correlations between violent crime and minimum incomes

Yes, poverty and crime do correlate strongly. Although be careful about conflating violent crime and property crime with each other.

That said, correlation is not causation. There is likely /some/ causative element between poverty and crime, but it is not absolute, rather poverty is also strongly correlated with other non-criminal behaviors that both lead to poverty and lead to crime. There is definitely a cultural element in wealthy countries to generational poverty, just as there is a cultural element to criminality.

If we can break that cycle for people, it benefits society as a whole, and I think it's worth investing what we can as a society into doing so, however current research certainly doesn't support deferment of responsibility for criminality because of poverty.
Yep, Apple probably wanted to switch to USB-C earlier but you can see why they also wouldn't want the backlash. Now, they can switch to USB-C and also blame the regulators when people are mad, so this is kind of win/win for them.

I remember a friend raving about the Borghese gallery and thinking ok, I'll check it out. You get there and it seems kind of small compared to, say, The Uffizi. But don't let that fool you it's jam packed with amazing Bernini sculptures. Give your self plenty of time to look at Apollo and Daphne up close and be amazed at those marble leaves that her fingers are turning into - they're so thin you can see light through them.
The local spot prices dropped below zero. The price of gold might be 1000 currency units an ounce, but if my house is about to collapse under the weight of all my gold I might pay you a little to take it off my hands - dropping the price below zero for the people in my immediate vicinity.
> Funny how Tesla is able to pull this off. I can't think of another brand that so easily gets people to throw large sums of money at it while expecting so little in return.

yeah they've been super useful for me too. i haven't switched to the multirange datatype yet (still use int4range[]), but I'm excited to since you can now do exclusion constraints on multiranges, which will greatly simplify some things for me.

i keep track of roads that a person has biked/walked for Wandrer (wandrer.earth), and storing everything as a geometry would be a storage and analytical nightmare. keeping things as a range lets you easily determine what part of an activity covered new ground, and you can generate the geometry / length on demand while only storing a few integers (plus the raw road geometry, but that's shared among everyone).
This information is often communicated by the type of the exception itself. Maybe it timed out: TimeoutException. Maybe the connection was refused: ConnectionRefusedException. Maybe it returned 404: NotFoundException.

Depending on the specifics of how it's handled, you may or may not need the actual error message. For example, in production you may want to implement some sort of logic (retry, display friendly error message, etc.), none of which needs the actual error message.

This feature isn't unique to PHP. Other languages with Exceptions, for example C# and C++, have this exact same feature.

It is weird, they say history does not repeat but it rhymes. What is troubling about this good news about GDP growth is the fed's course of raising interest rates will continue on and interest rates will keep getting higher and higher. This will lead to a housing market that will grind to a halt and expect that whole sector will hemorrhage jobs. In addition growth companies will be hit hard by rates being high as we have seen since early this year. Basically the fed will do anything in its power to stop inflation and I expect the only thing to get it back to the target of 2% is to have interest rates in the low teens. I know that sounds crazy but comparing this to the 70's it took Volker raising rates to 20% to tame the bad inflation of that period[1]. We are not seeing peaks of 11%-13%(like the 70's) but 8%+ is very high and is costing Americans dearly.

I have an Oculus and am fully aware of what it can do, so seeing the bland Metaverse graphics is jarring. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but a juicy one just popped in my head. What if the current Metaverse implementation is bad on purpose? A distraction, meant to diminish public excitement and therefore serious competition from the rest of the big tech, while Meta continues to improve on core VR capabilities and really cement their edge. Then one day - boom! an entirely different experience that takes full advantage of the platform.

Probably not though. The impact-driven incentive culture of Meta is unlikely to allow that sort of feint. The company is going all in on VR because they need to control the hardware layer, having missed the mobile phone boat. Being at the whim of Google and Apple has caused many issues for FB/Meta, so this is existential.

Can the cloud help you with a specific goal?
This is a false idea that we have any idea what motivation actually lasts. As the saying goes, "change is the only constant."

Certainly intrinsic motivation is the more likely to last compared to extrinsic. But, I think there is a lot of selection bias when we choose to claim which is which.

And there is a lot of ignoring what having the ability to take a risk has. Stability and safety can help most anything last.
