It would most certainly have been certified without US strong-arm tactics. And why on earth would it want to just continue with NS1 given that it traverses Ukraine? Ukraine extracted rent from NS1, siphoned gas from it, and could (further) sabotage it.
Here is an idea. Use Alexa to produce next seasons of Rings of Power and Wheel of time. Can't possibly do worse than the current teams and you can save couple of billion from development.
> And I think it extends beyond that to being dehumanised.

Yes, I have to hard agree on that. It made me feel as a cog in a very dysfunctional and broken machine, being ground while watching the whole machine work, shaking and losing parts. When I opened up about my feelings (after starting therapy) I got so many messages from people wanting to share similar feelings... Being powerless while raising every flag possible about possible improvements was exhausting.

I think the only thing that kept my sanity for 4 quarters was that I stopped caring and fixed all low-hanging fruits I could find. Until I got passive-aggressively berated for not delivering something on a timeline I didn't agree to at all, that triggered a kind of despair I haven't felt professionally and finally made me jump from the sinking ship.

Cherry on top was getting a veiled threat during my exit interview to not talk about and share my experience with the larger org to "not hurt the ones I loved working with" there. Fuck. That.

This has been my compliant with all of this voice control stuff.

The dev teams are so damn focused on being able to answer some esoteric query that you're asking as joke, they forget that you only want to do like 5 basic things:

* Set an alarm/reminder

* Read then send a text message (while driving). It doesn't even have to be good. Just something that I can send while driving.

* Maybe.....maybe ask for the weather.

* Turn a named household device on/off.

* Play a song

It's like these services all completely overlook the actions that you'd be taking on your phone anyways.
Correct. Cheaper and you can have a yard.
These days ULID (https://github.com/ulid/spec, or any of the variants), or most recently the new UUID versions (https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-u...) give you creation-order sorting.
The door being open or closed shouldn’t change the order of most elements. So it’s only relevant if you haven’t been sorting occluded objects.

Which gets into one of the major tradeoffs in rendering engines, do you try to minimize the average effort per frame or the worst case effort per frame.

I think the Echo devices are included, so it means hardware sold. Not sure they were being sold at a profit.

The part about it being all software surprised me. All the Dragon workstations I've seen have these remote controls attached:

Turns out they're third party devices. That makes Dragon more impressive than I thought.
I don't think adding general purpose and/or secure telecommunications functionality is going to help a microblogging service to be more profitable. There are already more mature tools for that, it's expensive, and people don't want that from twitter. It's particularly ill-advised when you've lost a large number of staff in an uncoordinated way and seriously alienated advertisers. The company needs to focus on making sure the service is in a position to be stable, and then work on repairing relations with advertisers.
I get it - it implies that they're not just signing checks, they are engineering sophisticated ad campaigns. That is a relevant detail to set up the story, and changing one word is an efficient way to convey that.
As to trying to develop a taste for things like coffee, beer or wine... I can only say culture is probably the biggest part of it. I tend to have coffee about once a week, mostly for the caffeine... if I have it more than once or twice a week, it doesn't work. But it really helps me get through being up earlier than I'm naturally inclined to for several days. I'd still like it to taste halfway palatable, so I tend to use vanilla flavored SF syrup, stevia and heavy cream that tends to soften the flavor. But I can imagine someone who really likes chocolate or coffee to go that direction, as they amplify each other.

In the end, culture and personal tastes. There is a lot to be said for fitting in.
Ah, I see where I missed the point. I was thinking the TV Ads by Steph Curry, Tom Brady, Larry David, etc. Not the follow-up twitter posts adjacent to the TV campaign.

Excellent article. However!, software, like everything, is subject to laws of physics. Entropy always wins in the end. No matter how good the original engineering and planning, without maintenance it will all fall apart soon enough.

do any voice assistants "make money" on their own? i thought they were a combination of 1) a loss leader to keep you in the ecosystem and 2) "well we figured out how to do it, so we did"
I think in the future, products like Alexa will be simple products purchased once for a profit (not loss leaders) that do all the processing locally, not service subscriptions. I mean, do you really need an internet connection and "cloud" services to implement an egg timer you can talk to? Maybe they'll have an internet connection to check weather.gov, but that's about all that's really needed.

> Credible news reports state that Apple did this at the explicit request of the FBI.

A minor point of fact (I have posted this Reuters link more than anyone): a careful reading of the article does not specify an explicit request. It is very much implicit in the article. There is no direct reporting on the request itself.

It is obvious that there was an explicit request. The article simply strongly implies it, because Reuters will not report as fact things they can not verify.
This is very low class for the state to do. It devalues the refund, but more importantly it gets a private entity involved that they are giving tax payer information to and I would assume some very sensitive information.
Thank you state of CA for violating my privacy and making it more likely for me to have to deal with identity theft. Refund should be given in a similar way to how money is sent to them.
Can I send the state a debit card for payment where they have to activate it and enter their SSN and so forth? If not, then they should not be able do this to the tax payer.
I would like to know the cost difference. If it is less expensive, then I would probably asssume that the private entity is making it up by gaining access to the private information of CA tax payers.
Nice work! Does Twitter runs their own DCs or hosted somewhere else?
Voice assistants were really talked up for a while back then. Lots of future of computing claims, the big consulting companies were saying it’d be integral to business (the only way cubicle farms could get worse?), etc.

For Amazon, that’s something of a threat: Apple, Google, and Microsoft would be well positioned as OS vendors and there is certainly room to imagine that putting Amazon at a disadvantage similar to what non-default search engines faced (remember A9?), not to mention the value of making it as easy as possible to order things.

What I don’t understand is what all of these people were working on. The hardware isn’t bad but it’s not that kind of investment, and the software doesn’t seem to have improved in years (which seems to be true for the entire field - tons of people using them, mostly for the simple stuff Steve Jobs did in the first Siri demo a decade ago). I’m assuming there were projects which haven’t seen the light of day and quite likely never will, and that there’s probably a great inside story about strategic failures locked up behind NDAs.

Right. It’s not like if all the engineers walk out it’s suddenly going to fall over. It’s that when an issue comes up there may not be the expertise on hand to fix it. So the remaining twitter engineers should expect a rough time over the coming months.

It's closer to 25 percent for immigrants. Your stat includes children of immigrants.

Maybe the US is just a better place for business? With the attraction to immigrants being an effect not a cause. Economic predictions have been saying for decades that the number of software engineering jobs will be increasing much faster than the population. It's supply and demand.

I agree with you that immigration is a privilege not a right.

However it's not good for a nation to discriminate people from certain countries worse than they treat people from rest of the world.

No system is perfect, and we go through iterations of refining the laws/solutions.

What most people are calling out is this discrimination in a peaceful manner and asking for a change.

Without people asking for change, nothing would have changed in history. The entire labor rights and freedom from slavery were as a result of people asking for a change and to be treated equally on the same set of standards.

American culture(as i understand) is based on concept that anyone can raise up and become successful based on ones own merit. The current legal immigration system for Indians fails to provide it.

And people are currently pointing out the flaw in the system.
That's generally my take as well. There's a handful of things that I just don't like in terms of food/beverage. Most of it is mouth feel, I don't like fat chunks, or raw meat... just feels off. As to taste, other than oysters and any kind of diet ginger ale, not much I wouldn't try a again or for a first time. And even the two of those I tried more than once. Spending plenty at a few places to try oysters in various preparations from restaurants that are respected for them. Nope, I'm done. As to diet ginger ale, they all taste particularly nasty to me.
> Intersectionality is still used primarily, in practice, to promote the interests of higher classes against lower ones.

I don't follow what this means? How does one 'use' intersectionality to promote interests? I thought intersectionality was the idea that intersections of identities have different experiences than the components.

Ex: Black women have experiences that are unique to that intersection of identity, which aren't experienced by people who are only one of women or Black.

Can confirm. That was the life. (My Dad worked at Holmdel until the divestiture.)

I still remember visiting on the Christmas Eve open house they would hold every year, with a brass band playing carols in the big atrium and all kinds of tech goodies to check out.

Regarding GP's point, New Jersey actually has a pretty strong heritage in engineering. There was Edison of course, and RCA (including their research lab near Princeton that did a lot of defense work in WWII) and lots of smaller radio companies--don't forget that especially pre-WWII the economic geography of the US was a lot different and the radio "startups" of the day would design and manufacture right in urban areas of the East Coast.

Marconi set up shop in NJ in the early days -- in fact my Dad does a lot of work these days with a museum of early communications technology, located at an old Marconi transmitter site not too far from Holmdel (infoage.org).

Other parts of the Bell System were in New Jersey too, with offices, labs, and facilities spread all over the state (including the famous Long Lines NOC where they monitored the health of the long distance system in real time.)

There were (and still are) plenty of chemical and pharmaceutical companies that hired scientists and engineers.

But I'd say that in the postwar era until about 2000 most scientists and engineers didn't particularly aspire to live in or commute to NYC. The suburban life was the dream. I remember in the late 90s/early 2000s it felt like all the technical work going on there was backend stuff for banks or dot-com startups with a media/marketing focus.

I have come to terms with the fact that any form of human civilization is not sustainable. We take more then we return to the Gaia ecosystem. At best we can be in balance once human existence returned to a pre-technological, nasty, brutish, and short lifestyle.

Boomers are blamed because of younger generation ignorance. There is an almost a willful lack of understanding of historical events that boomers lived through that shaped their lives and their finances. Looking from a point of older age to younger generations, anyone with half a brain can see the stressors and forces making their lives difficult. Yet we also see the the same forces that shaped boomers doubling down on shaping you. While there are some bright spots of Gen Z pushing back on power structures and winning, those wins are skirmishes because those in power were caught by surprise. In the next conflict, history of social change over the past hundred and 20 years shows that the next conflict will not be won so easily.

From my perspective, the generational you need to take control of politics in your future and stop putting your hands over your eyes and saying you have no control. Get out there, run for office, learn how your constituents live in what's important to them.

Remember, if you do not get elected and take your seat at the table, you will be ignored and nothing will change in your favor. Don't count on others to fight your battles for you.

> Representatives from all 30 NATO members unanimously adopted Resolution 479[pdf] during Monday’s meeting in Madrid. The measure advises NATO member countries to take a number of steps to support Ukraine and condemn Russia, including “to state clearly that the Russian state under the current regime is a terrorist one,” as well as “to take collective action towards the establishment of an international tribunal to prosecute the crime of aggression committed by Russia with its war against Ukraine.”

Esoteric programming languages. When you remove the need for a programming language to be useful or understandable, what you get is a combination of challenging puzzles, humor, and some actually interesting ideas.

I don't think it's that crazy. Private Equity and Wall Street doesn't have pressure for resilience, it has pressure for churn. As long as revenue and spending... exists... things are fine. Ideally they are numbers that grow. This doesn't lend itself to clearing out a development backlog, or engineers doing the most important things, it lends itself to rapid iteration and justifications for the iterations.

So now that it is owned by someone that doesn't need churn and just needs to reduce cost, people can focus on discreet resilience factors, just like any small tightly held software operation. Many of Twitter's pet projects go away, the ad sales relationship have to get re-evaluated too, but the core consumer product that everyone sees can be made resilient and operate cheaper.

i have to disagree with you on this.

USA did invite them here and provided a dual intent visa(H1b).

Every H1b visa holder did go to embassy and got interviewed by US Visa officer.

so USA very well knew the people who were invited to work in USA can become a US citizen eventually.
In defense of Tea here, a proper package manager (as opposed to something that just downloads prebuilt binaries or installers directly from vendors) that runs natively on Windows is nonexistent and (I think) unprecedented (outside of POSIX emulation environments like MSYS2 and Cygwin).

(The closest thing to a real package manager in terms of use cases (used for installing things like command line tools and compilers) on Windows is Scoop. But it doesn't use a repo built from a ports tree or a collection of source packages like apt, Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, etc.)

Tea isn't neglecting a common platform in its problem domain, and by even planning native Windows support it's actually pretty exceptional.
I loved Grimrock. Have there been any similar games of comparable quality released since Legend of Grimrock 2 in 2014? I haven't found any that I could get into.
Thanks for the tips! I'll keep that in mind and do 24-bit 96Khz wav. I think converting digital to digital, i.e. WAV to FLAC or mp3/aac will be straight forward, but given that I may not have that many records to convert, I'll try and keep them lossless.

I've also managed to get a working Sony STR-6800SD receiver for $200 CAD. That should help in getting a good analog phono signal.

>>>> My only wish is that UUIDs were sortable and still contained their timestamp. When bug hunting, sometimes things become a little more obvious when there is an exact start and end to ids with issues.

>>> Depends on the version used. Some of them do encode time.

Encoding time isn't enough, it has to be big endian (unless you write a special sorting function for uuids). Timestamped uuids store the timestamp as [timestamp_low, timestamp_mid, version(!), timestamp_high][1] which doesn't sort right.
