Only if you keep it really low resolution and low framerate. If you want something higher resolution, multiple camera angles or fluidly animated doing it in 2D quickly becomes impractical.

Guilty Gears for example started out with 2D sprites and then went 3D with Guilty Gears Xrd[1][2], but with a lot of trickery to keep it looking 2D'ish, though that always was more anime-style than pixel art.

> All the iPods prior to that were using ARM processors.

Most of the original device was outsourced and contracted out (for reasons of time constraint and lack of internal expertise). PortalPlayer built the SoC and OS, not Apple. Later SoC were sourced from SigmaTel and Samsung, until the 3rd gen Touch.

> The Apple Newton was using ARM processors.

The Apple Newton was a completely different Apple, and there were several years' gap between Jobs killing the Newton and the birth of iPod, not to mention the completely different purpose and capabilities. There would be no newton-type project until the iPhone.

Which is also when Apple started working with silicon themselves: they acquired PA in 2008, Intrinsity in 2010, and Passif in 2013, released their first partially in-house SoC in 2010 (A4), and their first in-house core in 2013 (Cyclone, in the A7).

I wish there were an actual masterclass on how to deal with people professionally.

A lot of ones I've seen is hand-wavey "be more empathetic" or "there are multiple intelligences" kind of advice.

I'd like to be able to listen in on conversations with challenging DO's and DON'Ts.

e.g. "Why do you think Rajesh reacted this way? What might James have said to elicit a more positive reaction, all other things being the same?"

Not so much intercultural communication as "here's how to give someone an out".
This is the question I have as well. Seems like they would be breaking their agreement with Apple about being an authorized seller.

Lots of companies refuse to let their products be sold at a lower price in order to protect their prices. There was one software company in particular that wrote into the contract that you could not resell the software to 3rd party. You could only sell it back to the software company. This was specialty software, and licenses averaged around $40k per seat.

> All in all, it feels like AI is a danger for people at the bottom of the profession hierarchy, but will elevate people at the top, whose work cannot be replaced. In other words, people who are more akin to be considered "artisans" rather than artists, who will take a prompt and simply clean it.

I am an artist who is in a place where she gets paid decently to draw whatever the heck she feels like, with little regard for commercial viability.

The jobs you're dismissing as mere "artisans" are the ones where I was able to be in a place where I could spend most of my waking hours honing my drawing skills and still pay my rent. Every time you draw a thing, you get a little better at drawing that thing, and a little better at drawing in general. This is how you master your craft. If you're part of a studio then even better: there's older artists above you, and tons of opportunities for them to critique your work and open your eyes to the major flaws in it you can't see yet. If AI art fills all those niches for expanding on someone else's prompts, budding pros will find it a lot harder to get to the point where this virtuous circle of being paid to practice their craft gets started.

> In particular, drawing has something like the 20/80 rule, where all the creative input is in the first 20% and the rest is 'rendering', a very mechanical task which you can mostly do with your brain turned off.

This really depends on your process. A big part of becoming a pro, in my experience, was finding ways to make the boring parts happen a lot faster, and giving myself more opportunities to do the fun parts at every stage of the piece. That said there's also a pleasure to be found in putting on some good music, turning your brain off, and rendering the heck out of something! It's that much-coveted "flow state" people love to talk about.

It is always funny to me to see a claim that Amazon has some type of outsize pricing power in the marketplace, when switching to a different business involves typing in a different URL.

As opposed to every other merchant/marketplace in the physical space where switching to a different business involves expending leagues more energy and time.

If these people are able to source and sell Apple products for considerably less than Amazon, then it should be trivial for them to advertise their website. Just spamming Reddit comments would do the trick. People will surely be willing to type in a different URL if they can save tens or hundreds of dollars.

Covering parking lots requires a scaffolding structure to hold the panels. The cost of this structure is probably higher than the panels.

A much better plan would be mandating all large building roofs to be covered by panels unless unsuitable. You could literally double the amount of panels for the same $$.

All the warehouses, shopping malls, government buildings and factories is a very large amount of space.

What about the new Mac Pro?
The challenge is finding land with owners rich enough to fund putting solar there. A lot of big parking lots are on land controlled by big supermarkets or other retail outlets. So, stimulating those to invest in some solar is not the worst idea. As opposed to some land in the middle of nowhere with no-one with enough of a vested interest to make the necessary investments.

Making it mandatory simply causes these companies to start finding cheaper ways to get it done. And of course they lower their energy cost so it's not a complete write off for them. And parking lots are of course where people charge their EVs. So there's that.

> what should be intelligent and critical people

What on earth makes you think that?
There's a difference from selling used as an individual vs selling used as store. There are authorized used Mac sellers, but I'd imagine they'd be under the same Apple mandates on what is allowed. If some of these sellers on Amazon "fucked around and found out" what happens when you break an Apple contract, then whoops! A contract is there for a reason.
This is the one I have used for years:

I'm guessing the Swiss will bristle at the "eu" region designation?
Strong disagree with that one and this is a fairly unambitious take. Most companies and employees themselves in the EU buy their own kool-aid of "yeah we are ok with getting paid $40k because we got health insurance" (which does not work as efficiently in practice as one would like).

EU - esp. Germany and some other European countries - have abysmal salary compared to rest of the developed world and a poor wage growth over the last 10 years or so.

Heck, even countries like India have experienced faster growth: netto, a senior tech professional in India can earn more than what what they'd get in Germany. And that's not even accounting for 3-5x difference in cost of living.

Well, it's all of the above. Lots of factors working against Meta/FB these days.
It's also an argument for having much more expressive and precise type systems, so the compiler has better information.

> Generally, I am against large surface lots (American style).

A bit of a tangent, but why? In my city they built a large shopping center without much parking, because that's what we do these days. Especially when the shopping center is basically next door to a large public transport hub.

The shopping center failed and declared bankruptcy after a few years. Main reason? No one went there because of lack of parking. (They did have some paid parking which everyone refused to use for shopping, but was instead used by people going on the public transport.)

In fact, this is one of those truisms about the "down" side of the classical business cycle - that recessions partly function as an excuse to cut inefficiencies. How accurate this truism is, I don't know.
And this is one downside to the unitary CEO/COB.

He, like Vladimir Putin, is only accountable to himself.

Ideally, society should not allow this type of business structure if a company is public or a reasonably large size (say 5k employees).
FWIW that post now has a warning notice on it with a link to the Medium article.
Yes, that’s what I mean, the compiler can completely remove a branch which is unreachable, along with any checks. If it was forced to keep the checks and report an error instead, any bug would be more obvious. If the compiler removes checks for bugs, then the application could silently continue, obscuring the bug.

So this is a “hide bugs but maybe improve performance” function.

>The only time 68K code ran faster is when it made heavy use of the Mac APIS that were native.

Yes, and that just confirms the original point. Mac apps often spend a lot of time in the OS apis and therefore the 68K code (the app) often ran faster on PPC than it did on 68K because apps often spend much of their time in OS apis. The earlier post said "so good that for some things the PPC Mac was the fastest 68k mac." That is true.

In my own experience, I found most 68K apps felt as fast or faster. Your app mix might have been different, but many folks found the PPC faster.
The number of people who went from jQuery to native is much much lower than you mention. Most moved to angular/react/vue/some framework. People replaced jQuery to handle state easier not because of standardization..

I foresee big box stores constructing 4 isolated parking lots, one on each side of the store instead of one big one. The land for each one could even be owned by separate shell corps if needed. That would still be cheaper, less maintenance, and they don't have to worry about customers with tall vehicles.

They should be giving incentives for people to do this not beat them over the head with it.
This doesn't seem to be talking about used sales, though.
> I'm not sure if differential dataflow can provide this.

Yes, it can, but you will have to write the views yourself, in Rust.

I find that there’s too much emphasis on “finding your bliss.” My ‘purpose’ is to negate other’s control over me. Wealth is independence, so my jobs are income (not status) generators. At the beginning of my career I consistently asked for higher pay & left if refused. Over time, the greater my wealth, the greater my ability to say “no,” and conversely the better employers have treated me. I’m offered promotions, stock options, etc without asking for them and I basically do what I want and get paid well for it. So my negative purpose, avoiding being controlled, has worked out for me.

The latency to most ISP cores is low ms range. You really should just stop digging.
It comes up from time to time, for example sometimes you'll have a big enum where most of the values can be handled in a straightforward way, and things are weird and complex for the other values. So you write something like

int process(my_enum x, state_t state) {
if (x == my_enum::COMPLICATED) return do_stuff(state);
switch (x) {
case my_enum::SIMPLE0: return 0;
case my_enum::SIMPLE1: return 1;
case my_enum::SIMPLE2: return 2;
}
}

and your compiler complains that my_enum::COMPLICATED isn't handled, even though it clearly was. You generally like these warnings, because they do keep you safe, but in this case, you're smarter than the compiler, but it forces you to put something there. With std::unreachable, it will squelch the warning and not emit extra code. For example, you might be tempted to throw an error -- but if nothing else in the function throws, you end up emitting a bunch of unreachable error-handling code that the compiler can't remove.
