Some intellectually interesting stories have political overlap. It's possible to discuss them in a thoughtful way, without descending into political or ideological battle.

Very interesting! Such a thoughtful and thorough response. Thank you.
Many countries (if not all of them) use localized numbering format - short numbers to hit the local destinations (intra-city calls), numbers with city prefixes to get to the numbers in a different city within the same country, specific prefixes (i.e. 00) for international calls, etc. The most convenient way of processing this mess is to rewrite the numbers (called/calling) on the ingress, into e164, and then processing the call using the routing table/rules of the pbx. On the egress the numbers may be rewritten again using the local numbering rules. This is how I built the international telephony system in one of my previous companies at least.

Some countries are easier in their numbering system (Singapore being an obvious example) and some are not (China doesn’t disclose number ranges allocated for different regions/cities, which makes the renumbering step more difficult)
i don't think the author is saying the process of software is not creative, but that software as software is not creative. software is not creative because it's static. any new data consumed by software isn't reincorporated into a new repetition of the software itself, but simply regurgitated slightly wrong.

though, i actually disagree, it's just incorporated by the desiring-machines creating the software. :) pegging "software" to a static entity i think is flawed as it is in fact always changing, even in a simple machine-producing-machine system of a CD pipeline.

> Locally managed healthcare tends to beat centrally managed

I tend to agree, but the downside to having each province having their own special healthcare system is that it’s hard for them to collaborate like with something as simple as sharing medical records. Also, the central government can’t do things like mandate minimum spending for healthcare and a more consistent floor on salaries for healthcare workers. Overall though I agree with you.

> It also helps inject a bit of competition in, gaining many of the benefits of for-profit healthcare without so many of the downsides.

People would have to be able to easily move between provinces for that to be true. Unfortunately, it’s hard due to the housing crisis and low salaries. Having a private option would increase competition. It might even offload some strain from the public system assuming that everyone still gets taxed for the public option.

Btw since we’re on the subject, how do Canadians mitigate the long wait for everything healthcare related? Is it common to cross the border for healthcare?

Some things never change.
I really think that Flickr has unrealised potential. One of the reasons photographers use Instagram is probably the ability to share their work with a wide enough audience and not just "photo-snobs". For years Instagram has been more or less hostile towards photographers, who just want to use the app for photo sharing.

Flickr, in my opinion has a wide enough base of people, generally interested in photography, to mirror some of the positive effects of sharing to Instagram.

It was no doubt better in the past. But there is still a lot of people on the platform and an okay amount of interaction.

In my opinion there is still a potential for rewamping the platform and make it even better.
As with most things I "know", I'm not sure what info to trust, but I'm currently under the impression that most of America's homeless population are homeless because they're hopelessly addicted to fentanyl and can't think straight.
I have done work integrating real time systems with flight data in all of these encodings and telex for a large intl travel company that does contracts at an airport you have flown at. A lot of legacy systems are using very early web protocols like SOAP or old encodings e.g. Telex messages.
The best criticism and praise is not that consumers are scraping by. It is that the businesses that take their money have such a strong value proposition that the consumer prefers that value to cash.

What we do not have an answer for in capitalist thought, are businesses that rely on human failure - take the five blade razor. We have spent millions and millions of dollars on single use plastic to save a month of occasionally nicking our neck. That is not a failure of a sociological system, that is a failure of humans.

Big money stays big by producing value, unfortunately humans are observed as having stupid values on a near constant basis, yes, even me - especially me!
Which doesn't invalidate the fact that there was a lot of inequality prior to capitalism. Kings, emperors, different classes and what not.
How much was really lost won't matter much in terms of prosecuting those who committed any crimes. And while it looks like a huge crime to me, they are still innocent until proven guilty.

It does matter to those who appear to have been defrauded. They won't be made whole. There will be opportunity costs, and I can't imagine it all being recovered. But if a significant portion is recovered, it would provide some help to the victims.
My thought was that the first mile up would be the hardest to get through because of being closest to the Earth's center. And isn't it something like 1% of the distance that they need to reach for "cheap" horizontal acceleration?

Yes of course they need to know the law. Anyone who might potentially break the law during the course of their work needs to know what that law is. ‘Just following orders’ is not a defence.

This is very odd special pleading by programmers. Every industry needs to do this: journalists learn media law in their university degrees, architects have to learn the building regulations. Why is programming any different?
Beginner question, why is it hard(not possible) to calculate the gain without actually building a reactor?

My dad was an old school bumpkin. Doesn't predate the industrial age, but lived like they'd never heard of it.

Anyways, he told me they didn't have a breakfast, but instead a big meal called dinner... apparently what we now call lunch. Then a midday snack, then a late supper that was lighter than dinner. As confusing as that was, he always called lunch dinner into the modern age.

They were much more active so didn't really get fat, so I agree sofar as to say the modern diet is likely too much. I may agree they helped push the 'breakfast' idea, but not people eating more often.

The man whose brain is melting because of social media maintains self-awareness about the whole thing? This is truly bizarre.
Indeed, so generational GCs don’t in fact scan the whole heap all the time, which was my point.

That‘s just an optimization. You explicitly made the lifecycle requirement part of the semantics.
Finite resources don’t disappear when you change economic systems, and neither does corruption. To me, what changes with different economic systems is the currency. With capitalist systems, currency is obvious. However in socialist systems, the currency tends to be political power and connections. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait in lines just like everyone else.

Neither system is perfect and they both have pros and cons

Wow! At the speed of around 0.15 you can see all the relevant computations:
Every few seconds three glider triples get sent out, obviously directly representing the 9 neighboring cells. These interact with some lane shifting and 90 degree reflections. In the process these "byte" may lose a glider or two, representing the result of the game of life computation. Then you can see a fuse burn down, then a single glider makes a round and suddenly the whole cell switches state by an army of gliders gently touching the producing border.
I would be moving anything you have somewhere else before they freeze accounts and disappear but I have felt this way for a few years
> "The question is did he personally benefit from the change made more than his usual salary?"

I would guess the compensation structure at FTX included a lot of their own crypto tokens, since the company can mint those at no cost. And Alameda was a big holder of those FTT/Serum tokens.

So you're a software engineer who owns theoretically millions of dollars worth of FTT tokens, and then the boss comes to you and asks to make an exception for Alameda... Since you work at FTX, you're probably aware that Alameda holds and trades a lot of FTT. If you do the code change to make Alameda look better and maintain the value of your own crypto portfolio, there's no question that you're a part of the fraud.
What difference does it make if there are 3 or 5 remote code execution bugs that were fixed? To me the list seemed pretty ordinary.

Investors love SaaS because customers love SaaS. Every day they pay for o365 instead of figuring out libreoffice. The alternatives exist, but they are less fully featured, less well integrated, and harder to learn.

Why?

Because all those extra niceties cost money that Microsoft can pay programmers to work on instead of hacking on arduinos or whatever else they'd do in their free time.

SaaS is just patreon that works. You pay the organization that builds it money every month, and you get a constant stream of updates and support.

> Fortnite having a dominant market position once they do stuff with it, I'm not sure of that. I mean, StateScript being awesome doesn't make a dominant market position for it because of its use in Overwatch. I recognize the fundamental difference because the latter is closed and proprietary, sure...

No, the fundamental difference is between Fornite and Overwatch, not between the languages. Fortnite has an order of magnitude more users and, more critically, is a freeform social gathering place in a way Overwatch is not.

Like honestly, I'm not sure you know what Fortnite is today, if you're comparing it with Overwatch. It's a competitor for VRChat and Minecraft as much as it is a Battle Royale game. This is going to make it a competitor for Roblox and Second Life too.
Chinese company that stole IP from ASML raises $140M
Wow, what a rant. You don't really travel much, do you? Given that you srsly experience the world through "countries subreddits". JFYI, Reddit is something rather obscure in ex-soviet states, especially to non-teens.

Sorry, but when just a few of many countries had managed to barely setup an election process, but can't go on without some violent political crisis every 10 years, that is hardly a functional and sustainable democracy.

What does this have to do with Russians anyway? It's a general principle, which works all ways with all actors. The fact that some west-leaning ex-soviet states are hard on censorship and restriction of Russian media illustrates my point perfectly.

Americans loosing sleep over the idea that TikTok is a threat to national security is another good illustration of this general principle.

See, one really doesn't have to be an imperialist to assess how popularity-based systems can be hijacked in the era when internet and targeted propaganda exist.
The OP is talking about SDKs.
Using your analogy, this experiment was to see if more energy could be imparted as motion then was put into the tires from the engine, due to a mechanism of physics of the tires that would release energy. Many people doubted our ability to exploit this mechanism of physics.

Now that our ability to exploit this mechanism of physics has been demonstrated, development of power sources that exploit this mechanism can begin to receive funding.

My first startup was in the early 2000s [1]. It was a photo sharing service and we hadn't even heard of Flickr though they were growing pretty quickly. They introduced some really cool features like tagging subjects in photos. Plus they had a really sweet animation of their logo while photos were loading over super slow connections.

Happy to see Flickr continue to find ways to live on.

Fun fact: Flickr started as a never ending web-based game where photos became a highly used feature. Similar to how Instagram came to be.

Are they more expensive for equivalent hardware? I didn’t look at the current gen ones, but it used to be the case that consoles get a few years old hardware, developers just optimize better for those targets. And even still, there have been plenty of memes how you get a low-poly mess for a character in some console games.

PCs are only expensive if you go the “current best” route, but hardware advances are well in the diminishing returns category (maybe besides hardware-accelerated ray tracing), so you can very well play most games on mid-setting on a few years old PC which you can build from $500.
You can "organize freely" until you need a highway that spans the entire continent. Or safe medicine. Or...

Try doing this on a 5 year old project. You'll very likely end up in dependency hell.

There is a solution though - use of nvm and .nvmrc (to control the version of node and npm that you use), and use of npm ci (which installs packages as they were at the time, rather than installing newer versions than specified in package-lock.json (because too many devs rarely ever pin versions) instead of npm install / npm i).

Sure, drug addiction is a giant problem in the US, but you were correct to second guess your take. Reducing the most dire portion of the US's housing crisis to drug addiction is flabbergastingly reductive. You should start by trusting information from people who have meaningfully studied housing in the United States.

I don't think software is capitalist or communist is it? Software is like steam-engines. Like you say it eliminates work, like steam-engines did.

Software is just a technology, which can be used for good and bad, like most things.

these cancer vaccines were mostly what Moderna was going for, before the pandemic hit. vaccines weren't very profitable compared to cancer treatment. the pandemic definitely shaved some years off, kicking everything into protection and infusing tons of cash, but this was the original goal.

with renewed awareness of how much viruses suck (RSV running rampant, EBV as the causative agent of MS, monkeypox and other emergent pandemics and ever-mutating covid variants), Moderna would have been successful as a purely vaccine company. it's interesting how the original goal of the company became the side hustle! but heartening that it's working out.
Europe's dependency on foreign actors has been laid bare in recent days. Dependent on Russia for energy, China for manufacturing, US for communication technology.

I find it funny that you’re associating integrity with Wall Street. From my perspective, Wall Street’s morals and ethics is not far off from Silicon Valley’s if not worse. The main difference is that Wall Street has mastered the art of adapting to regulations and lobbying politicians and their very own regulators. It’s not a secret that there’s a revolving door between top regulatory bodies and Wall St entities. Also while having private corporations like the DTCC and FINRA fool the masses into thinking that they’re public regulatory bodies, it doesn’t fool us. Wall Street has way more crooks than Silicon Valley. They’re just better at hiding and legalizing their theft and corruption. At lease Silicon Valley creates things with value for society.
