Poor kid. He's been subjected to what amounts to child abuse. Sadly, that is the norm.

Some say that we have an identity crisis in part because of our liberal, existentialist, non-committal notions of "freedom". It's also what drives much of the opportunism of FOMO and ADHD. The very notions of sacrifice, commitment, suffering for a good, and devotion repel us (whatever "commitments" we do have are merely emotional phantasms, changing as the wind blows). We reject our familial, communal, ethnic, national, religious commitments -- even commitment to the truth as such -- which we have come to detest as "restrictive" or "oppressive" in favor of a misguided notion of "autonomy"...except that this "autonomy" is achieved precisely by rejecting all that helps us understand who we are from different angles and at varying depths. We become socially alienated and cut off from tradition as such, saddled now with the responsibility of figuring it all out ourselves. What a Herculean task!

Of course, nature abhors a vacuum. The irony is that the abolition of authority and tradition only predisposes us to the tyranny of power. (Incidentally, that's how "community organizing" works: it foments animosity against legitimate authority and its legitimate exercise and then uses it to unseat that authority, whether personal or in the form of tradition, not to "free" people from the real or imagined tyranny of that authority, but to remove what is an obstacle to the power of the dictator who outstrips any of the abuses of his predecessors.) Nobody is easier to control than an ignorant, irrational, atomized human being enslaved to his emotions and to his desires, in a state of fear, disorientation, and disregulation. A man has as many masters as he has vices, spake Augustine.

It is little wonder that, given this crippled and desiccated state, we look for our "identities" in superstition and petty nonsense and in what remains, what is base, as if we were trying to divine the future from tea leaves. We think that the kernel of the "true self" lies hidden in what is base, not in human nature as a whole and what it is ordered toward. Reason is a liar. The orgasm is our beatific vision. Consumption is our creed. Emotion is our revelation.

A Virginia company is going to care as much about GDPR as a EU country would care about the 2nd Amendment.

You don’t need to lower the limit. Just wait for inflation to do its thing. No new legislation or public debate necessary.
I would argue that no identity is a fact. All identities are beliefs on the part of the person doing the identifying. To identify something as X is to express the belief that it is X.
Tried that. Still couldn't print.
I'd almost like to have my nose in that trough (and God knows when I was looking for a job, YouTube was spamming me with Oxagon adverts enough to know there exist such jobs), but then I imagine the type of person that would gravitate to manage such a project that I'd be down-line of and think "maybe not".
It varies, the one called bookpages.co.uk became amazon.co.uk almost immediately, mobipocket sort of disappeared into Kindle services, bookdepository (a later UK purchase) continues to operate in its own fashion, shipping books for free in padded envelopes one at a time.
What do you mean by "double digit times"? Your whole statement is almost completely lost because I can't tell if you think Lisp is fast or slow. Generally people say Lisps are good at prototyping and I'd agree, Clojure is super fast.
Some of the feature seems good, but to actually make it good will need writing a new FOSS web browser, with rather different internals.

Some things that seems to me to be good ideas, mentioned there, includes: split-screen, tab renaming, boosts (hopefully, they will be documented), DevTools.

But, needing an accout seems a bad idea. A web browser should just as well be usable to display local HTML files even if you do not have an internet connection, too; and, to make it good should also need FOSS.

I think many problem that Chrome does, although, they say that the dev tools is good. Well, making a new web browser will need also the web dev tools, in order to be good.

Actually, I think that one thing to make a better one, will be that many things of extensions (e.g. user CSS, header overriding, etc) will be core features, and file formats and protocols will be extensions (some of which, such as HTTP(S), PNG, etc) will be included by default. (A few things will be built-in, such as the data: scheme, and the HTTP request/response model (but not implementation).)

(Being able to write extensions in native code also would be very helpful, but most don't do that, or do it badly.)
Until 2019, the 500 euro note was issued. It is still legal tender, so 10K euro is just 20 notes.
They’re saying that “page feed character” (I’m guessing form feed) is acknowledged by Emacs, in contrast to those separator characters.

"“Elon's tweet does not match engineering reality per CJ. Tesla is at Level 2 currently,” the California DMV said in the memo about its March 9th conference call with Tesla representatives, including the director of Autopilot software CJ Moore... In an earnings call in January, Musk told investors that he was “highly confident the car will be able to drive itself with reliability in excess of human this year.”

"“Tesla indicated that Elon is extrapolating on the rates of improvement when speaking about L5 capabilities. Tesla couldn’t say if the rate of improvement would make it to L5 by end of calendar year”, the document showed.

The entirety of journalism these days hinges on biased language to push narratives. There is no neutrality in journalism now, and I don't know enough about its history to say whether there ever was any.
They're fairly funny with interesting premises. I wouldn't be hesitant, they're accessible for something which has such a cult following.
I have not seen a SEPA wire transfer cost more than 1€ since SEPA wire transfers have existed. Which would make the fee at most 0.01% for >10k€ payments.
If it costs 1 extra human 1 full year to build then you (roughly) broke even on that year and are up every subsequent year. And it doesn't cost nearly that much.
Very nice. You don't need all of it for every project. But onion and dependency injection is my default setup.

Your source doesn't mention:

1. Daily subsistence allowance (~5000 EUR/month)

2. General expenditure allowance (~4300 EUR/month)

3. Travel allowances (up to ~2400 EUR/month)

4. Vice-president allowance (~800 EUR/month)

These are numbers for 2014, when the base salary was ~8000 EUR/month.

Since the base salary is now ~9400 EUR/month, you can probably add another 20% on top of the numbers I just mentioned.

That is, of course, assuming they didn't come up with more allowances since then...

Plus they get another 70% of everything they earned as a pension.

They also pay a small EU tax instead of a regular income tax like the peasants.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the base monthly salary was payed 14 or 15 times per year rather than the 12 that many people usually assume. At least, that's what happens in the European countries I've lived in.
>Unix source code was given away (or cheaply licensed)

Yeah that's not true, at the beginning it was ~10k per processor. But you can thank Berkeley for rewriting Unix and replace all the AT&T parts. And yes SunOS was from the BSD lineage.

Most of those challenger banks are backed by old school banks.
For passkeys, I think allowing users to migrate their credentials wherever they want is key. I know Google/Apple/etc are working on a potential solution for that, but I think third-party solutions would be best from an "incentive alignment" perspective (Google and Apple don't want you moving away from their ecosystem).

As an aside, I would like to plug my own passkey solution, Bulwark Passkey (https://bulwark.id) which is open source and allows credential exports. Whatever passkey solutions people end up using, managing credentials is going to be the key challenge (pun intended).

C’mon, put a minimum effort to understand what it’s all about before making useless comments.

It is not a framework to organize your own JavaScript (like react, vue, etc). It is a framework so that you don’t have to write JavaScript in the frontend.

Of course it is written in JavaScript, because that’s the only thing that can run on the browser.
It can be, but methanol is produced catalytically, unlike ethanol, which is made via fermentation and competes with crops for arable land. You can make ethanol catalytically as well, but afaik it typically involves making methanol first. Methanol has slightly less energy density, but it has the advantage of burning cleaner than any other fuel (no carbon-carbon bonds, so no soot), and it's easier to crack using waste heat, which is a pathway to more efficient engines (you can boost the LHV of the fuel by around 20% this way).
Not in Europe. Bought a car last year, transferring the money was €0.50.
Both pipe and tab are infinitely better for so-called human-readable data compared to comma. Comma doesn’t even work well for numbers since some locales use comma as the decimal separator. And a data format can’t be “human-readable” if you’re not allowed to write numbers in the way that you’re used to write them.

I’d imagine it’s fairly unlikely you’re paying cash for that large amount, most people would choose a more convenient form of transfer surely?

How much time is wasted in these transactions just counting and verifying the money?

Also what if lots of people decided to transact like this. It’s not like the banks have paper to back all your deposits, they’d need time to go physically print paper if it became that popular a medium.
Curious, how often do you find yourself printing these days?

At this point I print so infrequently that going to the print shop for $1 is a more sound decision than spending $100 on a printer i use a handful of times a year.
The Commmonwealth Club Building Story
I wonder if that's "only" for the very first setup or every time you install the printer driver or something like that. Otherwise the printer will be useless once HP turns off that particular server or pulls the app. What a shit company.
Right. But you then end in a sport where driver barely does any driving 99% of the time but the 1% they do need to drive, they are out of any practice for normal driving, let alone in hard conditions.

We already had problems back when people started coming back from mandatory WFH and accident rate spiked, this would be essentially similar or worse, a bunch of drivers that might do 10k miles a year but drive 500 of them and have extremely rusty normal driving skill, let alone driving in bad conditions.

It would be essentially like letting your kid drive your car only in blizzard and pouring rain...
This is a whole new level of confusion...
They point is making it hard for the tax evaders to spend their cash (which they cannot deposit in the bank since it's way more than they officially earn) in law abiding shops.
For Web APIs there are various motivations. For example, the Chrome side of Google sees native apps as an existential threat, so parity with native trumps most other concerns (IMHO they're exaggerating, but that's what they do). In terms of images they aren't behind enough to worry: AVIF is close enough to HEIC (both are based on the HEIF spec).

Incremental upgrades to CSS properties and selectors may take less code than an advanced codec library, and it's 1st party code, not 3rd party code. There's likely an engineering bias here: everyone prefers to write their own code and trusts it more. Dependencies are automatically seen as suspicious.

Some new flashy APIs like VR/AR, local filesystem access, WebAuthn, or payment request enable functionality that was not possible before. That's user-visible and adds something to the platform. On a high level a new codec is just images, like the platform already had, only a little bit faster. I advocate for web performance, but I also realize it's a tough sell, not a "wow" feature that can be used in marketing. Most sites aren't even optimizing their JPEGs yet, WebP has very little use, almost nobody uses AVIF, so lack of a better codec isn't a limiting factor yet for web perf in general.

In terms of "fire and motion" play, they can churn 400 minor CSS or JS properties to get 400 points in browser-vs-browser comparisons. JPEG XL just gives them one checkbox. Even looking at this super cynically, if they add a WebTrombone API that no other vendor wants, they'll get to permanently look better in "who's got more APIs" comparisons, but JPEG XL can be easily added to other engines. However, if you convince other vendors to release JPEG XL support, and add it to high-profile benchmarks, Google may be more interested.
A bit round-about, but the slick way I discovered is to take a detour through DuckDB. DuckDB offers parquet bindings which you can link through a kind of foreign data interface and then query through SQL. Using this, you can then just browse parquet files through DBeaver or your IDE of choice. Hardly an out of the box solution I can offer to a random collaborator, but fantastic for your savvy analyst.
It was anecdotal, but I met someone who worked with folks who worked there, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors and they don't really have what they say they have. Unfortunate as it looked really promising.
Were the pyramids of Giza built by aliens? Well, it sure looks that way if you focus exclusively on evidence that’s open to your preferred interpretation… And as for the all opposing evidence, nobody can disprove that it’s just the aliens trying to hide their tracks.

Machine cognition is a similarly extraordinary claim that’s going to need a lot more evidence than a just-right sequence of inputs and outputs.
Unfortunately, if the format supports at least lossless compression (i.e. able to represent all uniform range in the pixel domain with a reasonable compression rate, amortized) then there is no practical way to distinguish lossy compression from lossless compression. PNG -> JPEG -> PNG is a lossy compression but the resulting output is seemingly lossless while it isn't.
Everyone saying "muh GDPR" has no clue none of it applies to financial transactions.

To get a PSD2 "Open Banking" license one needs to KYC every user and keep every transaction that passes through the system, for 5 years, including the KYC data.

Being PSD2 licensed doesn't even make you a bank. Just imagine what an actual bank has to keep around...

Also every business has to keep invoices and transaction data around for tax audits, usually 7 years. So you can GDPR delete request all you want, but the shop where you bought that thing still has to legally know you've bought it.
Micro dependencies and dependency hell are two of the Javascript ecosystem's most frequently mentioned issues. Anyone aware of any initiatives to lessen dependencies in important projects? For instance, the typical number of dependencies in a JS project would probably decrease significantly if large libraries and frameworks like webpack, babel, react, etc. all stopped using dependencies like left-pad or is-boolean (and also a bit more sophisticated ones). It would probably be sufficient if the top 1% of packages tried to remove as many dependencies as they could, because those are the dependencies that 90% of developers use. Additionally, large packages likely have the resources to implement helper libraries on their own rather than relying on them.

Americans don’t use such large sums of cash in transactions very frequently, do others?

The only large exception I am aware of is dispensaries because banks don’t want potential drug money laundering charges.

Because the big manufacturers sell a billion printers and trillion units of ink every year and can make enough money due to volume of their sales. A small startup can't and will have to sell their printers and/or ink at a much higher price.

Unless someone comes up with a phenomenally cheaper way of manufacturing printers and the ink, there's not a chance a startup will succeed. I don't think that's gonna happen.
To what extend?

- non violence? Having such a database is not going to help you much

I realised a long time ago that I barely have any say in what countries are changing to. I pretty much just pay taxes without any control whatsoever.

So I decided to treat countries as hotels.

Instead of wasting years trying to lobby against one tiny things, I just treat countries as hotels.

I pay taxes. But when I am not satisfied anymore, I just move to somewhere else.
The majority of engineers understand basic SELECT and INSERT semantics. Correctly building queuing and caching systems on top of database concurrency primitives is an order of magnitude harder than just using RabbitMQ and Redis.

What's the practical benefit of this? Metro North already runs into Grand Central, which is less than minutes away from Penn Station. You don't even have to go outside if you don't want to.

These are established and well known patterns. Better other people get to learn them sooner. The seasoned developers have probably experienced the problem they solve and the juniors might be saved from doing the same mistakes as others have before them.

The argument that juniors will have a hard time understanding it can be said about anything you don't like / don't want. And then you can begin to lay it on thick. It's a convenient scape goat for sure.

But even in the plentiful places where we do, cities grow in two dimensions.

> Ancient Egypt itself, was a gigantic line around the Nile river where the Nile played the role of the infrastructure.

This is indeed a good example, though it proves the opposite of your point. The Egyptians spread in a linear fashion because (and only because) the land far away from the Nile was pretty much uninhabitable (except with a nomadic lifestyle).
I think you raise a good point. In an ideal world this would mean that only more sophisticated criminals with access to money laundering would be able to use large amounts. An unsophisticated criminal can't just buy stuff from a law abiding citizen.

Remains to be seen how this will work out in practice. My guess is that most law abiding citizens won't even know that such a law exists. Your point still stands though.
The answer is simple. There is not enough margin. Most if not all printers are sold at loss then the vendors will recoup via consumables.

Where did you get the information that Apple will never support JPEG XL?

I haven't heard or seen anything from Apple, neither in favor nor against JPEG XL.

I would assume though that when Adobe and Serif (and their open source alternatives like Gimp, Krita, and darktable) are adding JPEG XL support in their products, there will be some incentive for Apple to add it in their products as well. After all, they do have nice HDR-capable screens now, so it would not really make sense for them to not support the best codecs currently available for HDR, which are AV1 for video and JPEG XL for still images. Apple does have a long-standing reputation for being excellent in high-fidelity image workflows, and I don't see how they would be able to keep that reputation without adding support for JPEG XL.

So I don't see why Apple can't just support both AVIF and JPEG XL. AVIF is 2-3 years older so of course they'll land support for that one first, but I don't think that should be seen as an indication that they'll not support JPEG XL.
> CRDTs ... are useful in a limited set of use cases when your operations are commutative

As you correctly observe, very few applications that exist today have data models with operations that satisfy the requirements of CRDTs, including e.g. commutativity. But CRDTs were never meant to be a "swappable" state layer for existing applications. The idea has always been that applications would need to change how they interact with state, to a model which does satisfy those requirements. Such models can absolutely generalize, it just takes a bit of thinking.

It's a dieing market. How are you going to get VC money to build into a market that is saturated and has negative growth.

May as well pitch them on manufacturing floppy disks while you're at it. That's a better market because the only competition is new old stock and used disks.

Ink jet is terrible unless you print at least a few times a month, better if you print a couple times a week. Even then, it's not great. Laser is decent, but you have to actually pay for the equipment; once you do, they do scale down to very occasional printing, toner doesn't dry out, etc. I'm sure some of the rubber pieces will fail over time, used or not, that's just how rubber is, but in most climates, that's stil going to take a while.
True but would you want it to be illegal if the vast majority people that did walk 200 miles on foot instead of driving, did it because they were doing it to get away with committing a crime?
