I liked suckles surf (which at least uses webkit2 rather than being yet another chrome). But in the end, the web is too complicated for simple tools, something like Firefox with extensions and stuff to handle downloaded files is pretty helpful.

It seems quite unfortunate that such large programs are required to handle current web standards. Anything useful could be expressed as text in plain old html, but then, all the bloat needs to be there to pay the bills I guess.
According to a book on project Azorian whose name I forgot claimed that the CIA hype on deep sea mining was so strong that some universities opened deep sea mining programs and recruited quite few students who were very surprised to discover that they spent years of study as part of the CIA cover story.
How do you feel about asteroid mining?

MuseScore is the reason I stopped pirating GuitarPro. Blender is the reason I stopped pirating 3DS Max. Krita is the reason I stopped pirating Photoshop.

I'm doing my best to be fully FOSS these days and I can't thank the devs of these programs enough for giving me faith in humanity.
> more about being arguably the best mass produced EV out there.

In 2018 this would be a really good argument. What does Tesla do better now, compared to another modern purpose built EV, for example a Ford Mustang Mach E, or a Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, etc?

I struggle to identify any particular feature I would say they are better at, much less something that would make it the best mass produced EV. I say this as a two-time Model 3 owner, having just bought the most recent one two weeks ago. I don't quite have buyers remorse yet, but it's nagging at me that I may have just made a foolish choice for the wrong reasons.
That's funny, but no. I could apply the standard of a homeless person buying a $300K McMansion in the same way and it'd be equally unachievable (of course you know that, but you're not concerned about being correct—you just want to look smart).
Who Said What? Recorder's On-Device Solution for Labeling Speakers
I agree the way most implement frontend dev is a mess, but I strongly disagree that this is where the performance hit comes from.

Profile any web app and you'll find that most of the slowness is the unnecessary and constant fetching of unoptimized assets and very high latency responses to API calls. Caching is rarely done correctly on the client side of a web app and nobody wants to put in the effort to properly lazy load and unload stuff seamlessly because of how tightly coupled it is with the visual layout and design. Network requests are especially unreliable and slow on mobile devices. On the dev's machine and in the testing environment it's not though.

This is really all it is. I'm serious. Why doesn't anyone ever look at the network tab in dev tools and see for themselves? It's disgusting.

I was seriously considering a Model 3 for my new car, but I'm so glad I passed.

On the Model 3 subrreddit there are endless post about reliability including ones I never thought would be an issue.

Some recent ones include driver side mirror housing falling off and snowing entering the trunk compartment.
Every time I use a gov.uk service I’m thoroughly impressed. The design is always clear and the UX simple. Kudos to the team.
Hah, when I wrote that I was thinking of qualifying it a bit better to prevent the very obvious objections.

It really depends on the language
and what kind of goto you mean.

But in the context of the post I replied to, yes, because you cannot replace algebraic effects with "neutered" gotos (like the ones in c), you need the equivalent of longjmp, or maybe gosub.

You can obviously design a language where goto does implicitely run finalizers or does similar fancy stuff, but this is again leaving the scope of the original discussion I think...
In full agreement with you on both of these points.
Waymo has previously partnered with Chrysler/FCA/Stellantis, and Jaguar. They don't seem to be strongly committed to a vehicle maker.

This person pretends they are objective, but only calls out benign and debatable liberal biased narratives, ignoring the blatantly fabricated and often hateful stuff pushed by Fox News. How can I take this article seriously?

It's pushing a pernicious and warped agenda.
That’s not my experience. If anything, I think the Typescript experience improves with each release: typings get more precise, the type system becomes more expressive and allows to simplify the type declarations that used to be more complex, and best of all, what worked before still works. And in most cases, you’re good to go with the basics, you just know that if you need to declare a complicated type, Typescript got your back.
For looking forward Tesla's have three fixed cameras looking from the rear view mirror. All the other cameras do not have stereoscopic vision and are not looking forward. A camera looking out from a side pillar isn't helping gauge the distance to something far up the road.

On top of that these cameras can't move, can't be re-aimed, and have generally far worse dynamic range than our eyes.
I agree it's a social problem, but IMHO it's a rather different social problem: Current cars, roads and car culture is adapted to human drivers, and AI is expected to be able to integrate into that.

What if we would make cars and rules that are adapted to AI cars and ignore human drivers? e.g. Ban human drivers from some roads, allow AI cars with designs that exploit AI advantages (e.g. much better reaction time) but do not require or even allow human backup (enabling us to put the passengers in a secured shell), etc. I suspect we could than reach a 1/20th rate today.
My take - Tesla doesn't really employe people who understand safety (and I don't mean that as a ding for people working there - most of software engineers just have no idea what is required to build safety critical system). As a result, people likely think they're doing things correctly.
What do you expect this to accomplish?

"Up to this point, installation was so complicated that it required a professional. "

Not even remotely true. The Nest wires the same as any other thermostat. Prior to the Nest there were plenty of inexpensive to high end devices with simple instructions included .
At the risk of meta-posting: A "Life's Work" is kind of a misnomer. Certainly, people are known for those things, but reducing your entire life to a narrow project or field is only going to misalign your expectations.

Of course it's great to have a focus! I've definitely focused on high performance optics for most of my career (haha). But life is a vastly complicated and messy thing, and I've gotten the most satisfaction out of taking a step back from projects that were demanding all my time. It's all about balance.
The only real advice I can offer is:

Try to implement an example of the most complicated UI interaction that you have in your (conceptual) application in both and then decide.

Development-by-random-recommendation is usually a recipe for disaster.
It's fairly easy to find falsifying counterexamples — it's not such an uncommon opinion.

Also I believe the author of the video is clarifying in the statement you quoted that he isn't trying to take a position on the state of the industry.

MuseScore really is wonderful. Use it for transcriptions all the time.
I'd be surprised if this works for anything latency sensitive over anything more than a LAN.

Even just the time it takes speed of light between NY and LA (410^6m/310^8m/s=1/75s) is roughly how long a 60 fps frame is (1/60s). Add OS serializing the frame from the GPU onto the network card, network switching of those packets, and you're starting to really feel that latency.
I've just done a small project using web components. I didn't use the shadow dom at all (please note I have no idea what I'm doing).

This was after reading a single hacker news comment saying not to bother with it, after days of research where everything I read spoke about web components and the shadow dom as if they were inextricably linked.

I didn't want the styles to be encapsulated. I wanted the css to cascade in like it does everywhere else. I don't really see many use cases where you would actually want to style a component from the inside and not have the user of the component be able to style it themselves.

All the blogs I read spoke about exposing a styling api using css variables. But by doing that, are you not going to great lengths to recreate what already exists in the normal dom?

Am I missing the point?
The Wii captured a fundamentally different market from its competition: that was the whole "blue ocean" strategy Nintendo had in mind, building on success with the DS. The 360 and PS3 sold "convergence" devices instead: they did a little bit of everything home-entertainment related. Enthusiasts with the cash to spare would end up with multiple consoles for the exclusives, but in that generation the software barriers to exclusivity were starting to come down; the PS3 had a more unfamiliar architecture than the 360, but regardless, cross-platform releases running the same engine and assets, vs a completely recoded game with different assets, were now becoming the norm across both consoles, so it was not like the old days of Sega vs Nintendo where you could have a totally different view of gaming by getting one or the other; the high end was actually getting a bit commoditized, and it was just the first-party exclusives that added differentiation.

But the broader market was in unexpected places like senior centers, where Nintendo's offering found an ultra-casual niche. For those markets, it never had to do anything more than play Wii Sports, and was a profitable hardware sale from day 1, where the other two banked on loss-leading for market share and making it up with a high attach rate. Definitely a fad, but also one that printed money.

All three did well enough to keep going, but they're really apples and oranges stories.
I think it's worth doing! Just make sure the posts link back to the original so people can see the context if the comment looks interesting.

If the engineers know it is not ready and they still deploy it despite knowing it is reasonably foreseeable that this system will cause injury or death, that is still on them. Unless the product/marketing people are holding the engineers at gun point, the engineers are free to refuse and quit if need be. I have quit jobs (with no prospects lined up) and turned down offers in the past due to ethical objections, so I am not particularly sympathetic to the "just doing my job" defense.

You've gotten lost in the weeds, my original comment said town hall (or town square if you prefer), and twitter IS analogous to a town hall where people gather to speak to audiences.

Town got pulled in when I pointed out that rights over speech wrt to these places still exist even though someone can move to a different town (to presumably gain access to a different town hall).

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I've got no intention of buying / enabling FSD on my 2020 Model X. I just want a car that I can drive from point A to point B. I'm not even that risk averse, but enabling a beta feature on the road with a bunch of other drivers who barely know what they're doing is a stretch.
> i may be biased since i use public transit or bike for everything

It is good to recognize this. A very large portion of the population does not live somewhere that makes good sense for pervasive public transit, walking, or biking for regular transportation needs. And many of those people actively don't want to live somewhere like that. Personal vehicles have a use case, and that does not become invalid just because it does not match your own preferences.

And yet you suggest a homeless person can reasonably assert influence on the Blockchain and mine it effectively. I'm generally not considered poor (not trying to flex) but there's practically no way I could mine anything of value or exert any amount of influence on the Blockchain. Much less any other random person out there.

Bitcoin is dominated by extremely wealthy miners. The only way it comes close to profitability mine is to get into big industrial power plans and buy tons of highly specified computing equipment. Only then are you breaking even (eventually, after the years of paying off the capex). But then you'll finally have a tiny billionth of the overall network speed and can make a tiny wave in choosing what transactions to include and push the chain any particular direction. It's practically democracy but you can pay $5 to vote again and can do it however many times you want, meanwhile lots of people pre-purchased votes at $0.50/ea and bought millions already. Sounds like a level playing field to me!
You can be really smart, even genius, and still make mistakes, or become corrupted by power and wealth.

There isn't a dichotomy between genius and asshole.

I still think Elon's contributions to society are much greater than his flaws.

And his contributions don't come from being a "genius" (there are at least hundreds of thousands of geniuses on Earth) as much as from being extremely hardworking.
After going through a fever swamp project involving React, I am definitely in the camp of getting back to basics.
I like this idea. I think I've considered adding immutable variables, but haven't prioritized them because other things I wanted to work on have a better expressiveness or bug-catching ability to effort ratio. Plus I haven't thought of a good syntax for them. But I might eventually get around to it.
I use it on my EC2 dev box and my home network, allowing me to block ssh on all the firewalls, yet ssh freely between all of them.
A trial costs both sides a lot of time and money. In most cases the defendants really are guilty (they had so much evidence on this guy I'm not sure why he even chose to go trial), the government has a lot of evidence against them and they would receive no benefit from going to trial unless they are being prosecuted under some new theory of liability that they could maybe convince a jury is invalid. Honestly it's surprising the conviction rate is only 95% instead of 99.9%. Federal law enforcement has multi billion dollar budgets, they can issue warrants and subpoenas and wiretaps, they can give "friendly knocks" and threaten people with jail time for not cooperating. How do they ever even lose?
As someone else said, Snowden pawned off the responsibility to redact and protect to a group of journalist with no subject matter expertise. It was a reckless and irresponsible choice. If anyone in the chain of custody knew what to redact to protect those in the field, it was Snowden. But he chose to abdicate that responsibility to journalists.
I sometimes think the C decision to encode strings as non-zero bytes was one of the worst.

Almost all aircraft are equipped with ADS-B transponders, which transmit their tail number and location continuously. Anybody can buy a ADS-B receiver and see info for aircraft flying near them.

In good internet fashion, people figured out that they can coordinate large networks of receivers, which basically centralizes a nationwide database of all aircraft movement.

So, all this account did was tweet when Elon's jet moved from this central ADS-B database.
Hopefully they will. My whole apartment complex was under ddos attacks for 6 months early during covid. Hundreds of people without a stable connection because someone had a grudge and an account on one of these ddos services.

Yeah for sure, thanks for reminding me! Except I use RawTherapee, which was actually the first FOSS program I swapped to from a paid (pirated) one without any sort of philosophical justification. It was just miles and miles better than the commercial apps (at least for my workflow).
I had thought, and still suspect, that the Twitter purchase might be a vanity project for Musk. As such his motives are a little harder to reason about than pure profit.

While it might not have public good as a goal, I think that having Musk appear as a public hero of freedom might be a goal.
It was garbage on Big Sur as well. Trying to use Dropbox on a Mac drove me away from Dropbox entirely. iCloud has proven to be faster, uses fewer resources and is just as reliable as Dropbox was on Windows.
Plus revenue from selling carbon credits. I don't know the value of that.
I would classify them differently. I mean they were both not very successful consoles, but the Xbox was at least a first effort from a new competitor. It makes sense that it was… more of a predictable learning experience.

The GameCube seemed like a surprisingly poor showing from such an experienced company. But hey, hard to give them too much flack given the follow up. Guess the GameCube was a strong unexpected learning experience.
It simply doesn’t work as intended. The virus still spreads.

By admitting it, and not making-believe that I'm some all-knowing genie and that "the computer must be wrong", I quickly humble myself, admit that I'm wrong and search for the root cause of the problem.

This will never happen, apparently, at the Federal Reserve, until it is too late for them to avoid massive destruction and death in our society.

The ponzi scheme attribution is due to the money printing and fractional reserve lending system. They can't pay off previous debts [1], so they print more money to try to inflate the debt away (which only leads to the creation of more debt, keeping the cycle perpetual). If they stop printing money/issuing new debt, the whole pyramid collapses.

The DOJ has a 95% conviction rate. SBF has confessed to illegal activity in his many interviews. His coworkers are believed to have cut deals. The new CEO is helping the feds, so they have expert testimony and access to all the material evidence.
