Sometimes implementations fail for essentially the opposite reason – the new system is too generic and insufficiently close to the original program. One place I worked (a university), they tried to replace their mainframe COBOL system (Fujitsu FACOM GS8400 mainframe [0] [1], along with Software AG's ADABAS database and some use of their Natural 4GL as well) with PeopleSoft Campus. However, PeopleSoft Campus was designed for the US market, and many of its features were rather irrelevant in Australia; conversely, key features needed to cope with Australia's rather different regulatory environment were lacking, forcing the project to reimplement large parts of the original COBOL system as add-on code. PeopleSoft sales (this was in the mid-to-late 1990s, so before Oracle bought them) had painted (whether by intention or ignorance) a fundamentally misleading picture of how suitable the product was for the Australian market. Eventually the whole project was written off as an expensive multi-million dollar failure, and the mainframe COBOL system got a reprieve on its execution. I was still in high school when it happened, but when I worked there several years later, the "PeopleSoft disaster" was a frequently repeated part of local institutional lore.

Then, they tried again with a competing system from a local Australian ERP firm (TechnologyOne), running on a Microsoft application stack and Oracle RDBMS; and this time they succeeded in replacing the mainframe COBOL system, in part because (unlike PeopleSoft) it was actually designed for the Australian market.

You mean like yy versus ctrl+c? You can definitely use a Vim browser/OS extension but Vim does it that way because the creator, I suppose, perceived that his user interface is better than what's already there. And I tend to agree. I don't need uniformity if it'll be inefficient.

Honestly, I was on the side that expected Twitter to get better (like pg), and have mostly not been against any of what he's done until now, but this seems like a bad decision all around.

I assume he got emotional because his child was involved, then did this in a fit of rage, and is now unable to admit that he was wrong. There is no way you can look at this and say what he did was right, no matter what political stance you have.

A newly created rule, the violation of which isn't clear either.

I suppose this is unavoidable if you give one person complete control over a platform. Perhaps it should be illegal for big social media platforms to have a shareholder with over 50% of the voting power.

FreeRDP3 supports H264 video encoding. FreeRDP2 has RemoteFX (non-progressive). Microsoft is using a customized libfreerdp, weston, and pulseaudio stack in WSL, to allow Linux apps to run in Windows. Xrdp supports H264 and audio. Performant Linux RDP servers and client components are available now, but you have to compile from source. Nothing wrong with VNC for remote maintenance, I still use it for that too.
It’s also likely in violation of arcane copyright law. The oracle wire protocol includes a handshake procedure that sends a poem in one of the initial messages. It’s untested legal theory whether copying that poem in a new work (e.g. a new driver or compatability layer) would violate Oracle’s copyright on the poem.

+1B. Unfortunately no one cares about legal immigration in the US so all this talent is sitting around for decades and wondering why years or decades assimilation isn’t enough to walk through the front door.

One of the major competitive advantages of the US is that it brain drains the rest of the world through its education system and career opportunities, but that’s starting to dwindle after a decade of neglect. US’s loss and Canada’s win, I guess.

Only because of voters. There has always been a bipartisan consensus in the House and Senate on increasing immigration[1][2]. The Republican representatives don’t want to lose their seats though and they know increasing immigration is the best possible way to get primaried[3]. Corporate Republicans want more labour[4], the same way Democrats do, without expecting that the immigrants will vote for them. Opposition to further amnesty has always come from below, not above.

It's been said many times, but I'll do it again: the information that started all this is already public and freely available. There's even a Supreme Court decision backing up its publication.

Everyone is up in arms because he's gone from 'free speech absolutist' to 'free for me but not for thee' in about a month.
what i keep hearing it called is "debate bro" culture.

a few of the characteristics that really concern me are:

1) they either don't realize or they refuse to admit what they don't know.

2) they try to convince everyone that what matters is how you say something. they believe the aesthetics of how you say something should matter more than the content.

3) depth and nuance is bad, someone may be trying to confuse you.

4) context removal. they want to pretend that wider context doesn't matter.

5) every random persons thoughts on an issue should hold the same weight as even an expert in every topic.

i definitely see elon engage in this constantly, but its absolutely not limited to him. its wild how wide this has spread.
> All good tools need getting to know them

Wrong. Good tools don't require that. Imagine someone showed you a complicated mechanical contraption and told you "it's a type of hammer, much better than the 'non-professional' hammer, but you need to 'get to know it' first". That product would be dead on arrival.

Great tools are obvious in their base functionality and have optional additional layers that can be discovered if necessary. When you have to search the web to find out how to close the editor you just opened, because it works differently than every other program running on your system, you know you're using a bad tool.

I wonder if it played a part in Microsofts purchase of Github. When you look at things like code spaces, co-pilot and how VSC can now work directly on Github/Azure repositories without moving the code to "your machine", it seems like they found a good way to make Github (and Azure DevOps) more profitable through Atoms successor.
Wow, such a fun way to introduce oneself to a new environment. Kudos for the idea and bringing it to fruition for others to enjoy and follow.
Not only was the space removed, but in fact, the entire Spaces feature has been removed from Twitter.
You know, I’m sick of people saying AOC is the far left version of Elon, or more often, the left’s Marjorie Taylor Greene. Bullshit. AOC is more left of center than most in Congress but if you follow her, she’s mostly earnest (especially for a pol) and she does the work. Even when I disagree with her, I find her to be considerate and intellectually honest. She’s not the left’s Elon, MTG or Boebert, she’s far, far better.
I used Unity for years, starting in the 2.x days when their moving off Mac was big news. I agree with Unity having a lot of issues, but disagree with this being one of them: Unity doesn't really encourage anything that ECS doesn't encourage.

ECS is a very ergonomic abstraction for games: that's the only reason it's even put up with over data oriented models like DOTS which are much more performant

To me the spaghetti code thing is in part because games are just a really hard architecture problem if you're not used to it. It's like trying to build the design, frontend and backend of a CRUD app while also feeling out the business plan as you go along. Before you know it, you have the bones of a few wrong turns sticking out of the foundation, there's huge amounts of coupling between everything, and you essentially can't change any side of the puzzle without breaking a ton of stuff.

Realistically I think Unity is often picked up by people who could make spaghetti code in any engine. And for the same reason I still contend that the asset store should never have allowed primarily code assets.

You need a certain level of engineering rigor to not end up with a brittle buggy mess to slog through by the time something as open ended as a game. The asset store is full of just awful code written by people who don't know better, picked up by people who don't know better, resulting in a gnashing of teeth for everyone involved.
That would have at least saved me reading it.
Not advocating nothing.

Just don't give monopolies to private interests, it's killing us.
If you're talking about tracking his jet today, then you don't even have to work that hard (or even know what the FAA is). Just googling "Musk jet number" or "Musk jet tracker" will find his jet. This information is plastered all over the internet. That's not going away.

But it's all over the net because someone, possibly @elonjet, originally figured out it was his jet and posted it online. That made it easier for people to find his jet, and that is a security concern for Musk. I'm not saying this information was originally super hard to uncover for someone who knew what to do. I'm saying there is some increased security risk now that this information is easily accessible.

I think most of us would be uncomfortable with being tracked live in his situation.
Investing it means not using it. Plausibly, boosting economic progress by training people produces much greater long-term benefits than putting the money away.
Can someone tell me why OSes can't do what browsers do? It seems to me that browsers are the OS of today so why not just skip the middleman and make it first class? It seems to be a layer that exists solely because the 3 competing OSes is incompatible and browsers just happen to be compatible (for how long?).

But with a crappy language.
Something glossed over by articles like this that discuss "Sanskrit" as a singular language is that prior to Panini, the spoken Vedic Sanskrit language was far less codified and rules-based, and replete with swashbuckling irregular grammatical and phonetic forms that were in free variation, and often used for rhythmic or poetic effect, just as in living spoken languages today. It was a campfire language, not a scholarly one, and far more complex and disorderly than what would follow it.

Then Panini came along and analyzed the language in a way never before done (perhaps in any language), and in doing so also forced the language into a rigid system of derivational rules from which it never emerged again. In the process, a great number of irregular forms and usages were expunged from the language, and the subjunctive and injunctive moods [1] ceased to exist entirely. Many words that once had a variety of pronunciations got standardized to "thematic" forms. Thus the language came to be known as "samskrta", which literally means "well-done" or "perfected".

He probably did this because he was trying to preserve the language of the scriptures for scholars because the common-speak that people used in their day to day lives even in 500BC was already changing rapidly enough for him to notice. By constraining the language he ended up preserving it in a way that it could be studied methodically for thousands of years, albeit in a grammatically sterilized form compared to what it was.

You can compile web tech to V8 bytecode and run it in Electron – how do you feel about compiled programs now?

> No problem. Please sign this document stating that you will not seek treatment for Covid and that hospitals can legally refuse to treat you if you contract Covid.

Why? Do you expect someone who doesn’t get a measles vaccine to sign a waiver refusing treatment if they get I’ll? Do you expect someone who refuses to wear a condom to refuse treatment if they contract an STD?
Exactly. The truth is that over that last 15+ years _most_ of the apps that people use _most_ of the time are a perfect and natural fit for the web UI/UX: text, media, hyperlinks, standard form/window controls, with relatively modest standards of performance and responsiveness, etc.

Assuming developers avoid resource leaks (and to be fair some notable Electron-based apps tend to be both leaky and long-running) the main drawback of Electron seems to be the non-native look-and-feel. But that _could_ be worked around (for the most part) with some effort, and I suspect most users don't actually care that much. The web browser is still probably the most-used desktop app. The web look-and-feel is familiar and intuitive to users, even if it stands out a little from the UI of native apps.

Poor resource management aside, something like Electron is probably good _enough_ for most applications.
As I said, VS Code shows, that it certainly is possible to build performant electron apps. But I’m also saying, that electron is not fully innocent when almost every app built with it sucks.

And assuming you are talking about FATpick, it’s certainly a lot faster than Postman, at least the logged out part I looked at ;)
I'm not sad about it, turned out really well for me.

I believe the compelling part of the current offering is the schema management features. We started building these when I was there. I don't know to what degree the alerting part of the APM product survived. It was originally requested by an enterprise customer and I re-implemented it on-top of Druid to make it much more scalable. My assumption is that should be a bit of a draw. etc.
Doesn’t that just increase volatility and hand profits to high frequency / predatory traders? How does it help retail or index investors?

At least where I live, most/all established banks have COBOL training programs for new hires. A friend of mine started one just a couple of months ago. As I understand it, it's not easy for them to find people who are both skilled programmers and willing to learn COBOL. If you really want to reskill into a COBOL developer, I believe that's very much an option still.
