That’s not what that says. Apple does not commit to updating older versions for EVERYTHING. That does not mean they don’t patch them at all - here’s the official verbiage:

“Upgrades are released much less frequently than updates, and can take a while to install because of their large size. Also, older devices may not be eligible for upgrades because they don’t have the space or power to support the new software.

Note: Because of dependency on architecture and system changes to any current version of macOS (for example, macOS 13), not all known security issues are addressed in previous versions (for example, macOS 12).”

This matches what we’ve seen before where many updates come out for older versions but they’re not making Red Hat-style efforts to back port patches for ages rather then pushing people to make major upgrades.
Given that Blizzard's biggest innovation in the MMO space in recent years is apparently a 'worse' version of World of Warcraft, I'm not even sure that's true. Seems like Old School Runescape is actually doing better than (or at least similar to) WoW in terms of active players, and that has even lower graphical fidelity.

> Money does pay "dividend" - it's called "interest".

Only if you lend it.

Money sitting around under a mattress tends to lose value due to inflation.

Actual specie, dug out of the ground, tends to hold its value, relatively speaking. Sure, their may be shocks like discovering a whole continent made of gold but those are pretty rare.

Bitcoin, who knows? It simply hasn’t been around long enough for its place on the money pyramid to be found.
From where I sit, browser engines are commodities. There's not notable differentiation to be had there. Are four actively-developed, open source, mainstream browser engines enough? I think so, given that we haven't seen a downside to a relative monoculture in open source operating systems.

In any event, I may be too old but the failing of VR in my mind is that it further isolates us from nature, from reality. The successfully future tech should be tech that disappears, allowing us to once again reconvene with nature. I don't want the Matrix or the Holodeck all day long.

Considering that most of Google's open source projects are of the "throw over the wall" kind, where they don't really care about the wider community, when most of Meta's projects (that I've seen) are interacting with and creating communities, it's not really comparable.

TLDR: by KLOC Google might have more, but arguably Meta's have more impact.
With all due respect: bullshit. Again, email accounts were provided for free with bog standard Internet service at least in the mid-90s which is the time I can speak to. Hell, my original ISP as part of the sign-up paperwork included instructions on how to log in with Outlook Express (alongside the instructions on how to configure Windows 95 dial-up networking).

Nobody had to think about where they were registering or who they could reach. Email accounts were fungible. At no point did picking the wrong ISP as a dial-up customer functionally limit who I could email. Mastodon, and the Fediverse for that matter, is far more complicated.

To me it looks like they broke search to only return mainstream stuff for any search with any connection to an official narrative. Pagerank is the opposite of that. That could be why Sergei and Larry aren't doing much work these days with Google. Larry is in Fiji and hasn't been heard from much in the last two years.

IMHO, Yandex feels like the old Google. It returns lots of small sites for most searches and does way better on controversial topics.

Of course the median is down - most projects fail, but the appreciation of tokens from successful pre-2017 token sales, like Ethereum's, is massively greater than the cumulative amount invested in token sales pre-2017.
you basically hit the spot. He never realized the phone with it's size and fit factor in everyday life cannot be replaced by a headset that is so intrusive. It's good for games but anything else likely a hassle to the norm.
Full stack, been doing this a few decades now. Not really. Every new front end feature just feels like such a chore. You tire quickly of building new CRUD endpoints and pages pretty quickly. You need to write so many mind numbing tests with dynamically typed languages. I really dread writing test after test. I do enjoy hunting down bugs. Performance optimisation can be fun too. But sometimes the bugs are ones that I introduced, so anyone who has worked in this business long enough knows it weighs on you a bit to be the cause of a problem. I tried to get into strongly typed functional programming a bit, but realised after a couple of years doing Haskell that it just swaps one set of problems for another. I've always liked games, currently trying to do a late career change into gaming. I think I just need to believe in the underlying product, then I can put up with the pain. Pay is dreadful though. Getting a new job now is quite time consuming, you need to solve riddles online while someone watches. I think the market is going to become quite illiquid, maybe salaries will go up?
I think coelacanths are the most well known example (maybe just became they're so alien looking compared to their other extant relatives and were thought to have gone extinct so long ago, especially compared to some species that were thought to have gone extinct more recently)

The ‘free’ part in ‘free and open source software’ refers to the freedom given to the user of the software to read, modify and distribute the software that is provided to them [1]. It refers to that freedom and is independently of the price that obtaining the software has. Free doesn’t mean it has no price, creators can profit from it.

Same here. I've been doing this since before the year 2000, and can't imagine any other company I've worked for treating employees this well. In this current cycle, I was laid off from my job and my severance was zero days. The only thing I got was the mandatory WARN act time and verting of option that were worth about 2 weeks of my base pay.

Once upon a time, I was staying at a friend's house; her dad was something of an amateur military historian - two rooms full of wall-to-wall bookcases on military history, some SciFi, and all kinds of other stuff. Not much light reading.

Stoned and bored, I picked one off the shelf at random (Mother Night). I'm not sure how I missed Vonnegut's name on the cover, but I mistook it for one of his legitimate history books and read it cover-to-cover in one sitting. Woah, we definitely never learned about this in school!

Yeah that's true.

But also, for every developer with a couple of month experience, this is not a new problem. It happens all the time, be it missing some parens or a dot or a return / semicolon (depending on the language of course).

Usually it's very easy to hunt it down - you see "a + 1" and you say "wait, a should be an integer - why is it not" and then you go back from there. But in general I agree that it adds some time in such cases that would be resolved quicker with annotations everywhere.

History is not linear and all previous human civilizations are now relegated to the dustbin of history. It turns out that treating people like replaceable cogs in a global economic resource extraction machine is not a good way to organize society so these numbers are completely unsurprising.

I've personally checked out of the entire deal. There is nothing I can do that will make things any better at this point. Whatever job I can sign up for feeds into the machine that is destroying the biosphere so I've decided to not do that, it's pretty simple. It's not even about stress anymore, it's just the fact that most people are greedy assholes and couldn't care less about anything other than their own comfort and well-being.

Consider your day-to-day activities and then ponder whether your participation in the global apparatus is a net positive. You'll likely discover that it's not but you'll carry on doing what you're doing anyway because there are no other options. So if things keep going the way they are then the inevitable outcome is ecological and civilizational collapse. Most of the signs are all there but people just refuse to look at them [0][1][2].

This is a great encouragement for developers to not undervalue the usefulness of their apps. Most software is free (ad supported) that should be paid for directly instead.
There are about 280 million first-generation international migrants. That’s a group that is highly likely to benefit from close social interaction online.

And more broadly, the majority of the world population uses some kind of internet communication and many of them would probably use a higher-fidelity version if it became available. To give an example from a more mature technology, the share of internet communication happening over video increases each year (this trend predates the pandemic).

Personally, I’ve found that VR takes away a lot of the awkward downsides of Zoom socializing. I’m pretty optimistic it’ll be popular when it matures.
I work on services too. Typically you don’t want to revert the entire PR, just the bit that turns it ‘on’. If you make this bit as small as possible, it’s often simpler and easier to inspect the correctness of reverting a flag flip or a config option change than it is to revert actual code/config. Reverting a ton of code is what you do when you don’t need it anymore. It seems like a bad idea to do it in a hurry (unless you have no choice, but that’s a separate point about designing features that have this property and making it a strict requirement during code review where possible).

Then again, reverting commits in your source tree seems like a poor fix to the problem in any form. What you really want is rolling back to the last known working version (which you hopefully can do without needing source tree changes), rather than revert one of n changes, that may depend on each other and rolling forward.

Especially if you are building a new feature that is riskier or bigger, you will put the main bit of code behind a flag/config option (or perhaps even multiple to incrementally test larger and larger bits).

You're arguing about the experience today, not what it could be. I definitely don't want avatars.

I want this meeting to have higher immersion representations of the rest of the people in the meeting than boxes on a screen. I want to be able to shift my view to focus more on individuals. I want to be able to have a meeting with 40 people where I could still focus on a single person and see them with high-fidelity, instead of just having 20 of the boxes at low-res in front of me, with the rest off-screen. I want less eyestrain because I'm not just staring at a flat wall but my eyes are moving and shifting and re-focusing more. I want to have depth to things. I want the ability to have a quiet side convo off to the side. I want the ability to write on a whiteboard off to the side that people can look at when they want instead of taking-over the entire viewport for everybody. All things I could do in the real world, but would be very hard to make seamless without a real-world interaction model.

Again, we clearly aren't there yet. But it's easy to imagine something better than what we have today.

Off topic but I personally hope the meme/stereotype of the slovenly eccentric genius falls out of fashion with startup investors after this whole SBF blowup.

No, I think a modern directory would be a set of topics in an ontology with links. If I had to seed one I would suck all the external links out of Wikipedia, impose some organizing structures (probably overlapping trees or dags) and then build a set of classifiers for nested topic relevance, spaminess, etc.

There are certain sites which have a landing page for every topic in some set of topics, you could add a lot of links quickly if you built rules for importing links from particular sites. Adding 10 sites a day with 1000 links each would be very possible, in 100 days you could build out a million links.
you don’t have a purpose. though, i hope you see people that need help that you provide, then you provide it.

if humans have a purpose, it is to help other humans. silicon valley types do not agree with this in my experience (they seem to require profit potential to do anything it seems) and that is a cancerous view, so don’t adopt it.

just help people once you are in a position to do it without harming yourself. Not for profit; for free. because it is the right thing. if anyone has a purpose, that is it. all else is selfishness and greed.

> Some disorders could simply be the result of living in a modern society

And to make the snake eat its own tail, I’d argue that some of the traits that define some disorders aren’t traits that are inherently bad, but more mismatches with the expectations of “modern society”. ADHD being a prime example: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html Compare that to, say, BPD: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3494330/

The ADHD criteria mostly describe ways that the patient either doesn’t fit in to societal expectations (sit quietly for long periods of time, difficulty engaging in tasks that require prolonged mental effort) or the ways they annoy others (fidgeting, high energy that exhausts other people) vs. intrinsically self-harmful behaviour (unstable self-image, suicidal behaviour, feelings of emptiness).

The thing that intrigued me the most about it is that these are all contextual. Someone with undiagnosed ADHD two hundred years ago world have probably gotten by just fine. They might be known as a bit “different” in their communities, but could have readily found their way. In 2022, that gets much more challenging, especially since we’ve dramatically systematized things. 200 years ago, maybe you would become an apprentice potter or blacksmith; today, if your ADHD is so bad that you can’t finish high school (not because you’re dumb, but because sitting in a quiet class room followed by going home to study makes your brain bleed), you’re going to have a really hard time finding anything but the crappiest minimum wage job for the rest of your life. Depression, BPD, bipolar, etc? Those all have the same unfortunate outcomes 200 years ago or now.

I think you're over estimating the impact or relevance of that anecdote. Particularly since the "static compilation makes us faster" crowd turned out to be correct, and people use JITs for non-performance reasons and just pay the performance tax they so often come with. The time-constrained nature in which a JIT has to run just largely kills it's theoretical runtime information gathering advantages. Devirtualization remains about the most advanced trick in the JIT book, which is generally not an issue static compiled languages struggle with in the first place.

I had a job almost 20 years ago at a dedicated web hosting company and it was almost a daily occurrence for someone to try to utilize an IP address or domain that they didn't own. Some of the more bold ones would even try to use social engineering to get someone on a support team(usually over the phone but not always) to create sub-domain entries for domains they didn't own or even change A records to CNAME to redirect the entire domain to some fraudulent website. The company had control over a Class A and multiple Class B IP ranges and it was also very common for existing customers to try to "borrow"(to avoid being charged for it) the use of additional public facing IP addresses that were not actively in use at the time.
