So much this. I might even panic a bit if I got promoted. Nowadays I got so used to the work and tools that I can finish work in less 8 hours on most days. It pays well, I'm having enough free time, low stress because it's the same work I have been doing for a number of years already. Not much politics at my level. I just enjoy it.
Well early 1990s database sofware wasn't awful. Talking about stuff like Sybase 4.x, roughly equivalent to early MS SQL server, also Oracle, Informix, DB/2, etc. Indexes, query planning (perhaps with hints), cursors, concurrency, were all adequately solved problems by then.

Really? Your response to, effectively, "this company which has a natural monopoly in this region is arranging things so as to increase their profits at the public's expense" is "ah, so you're saying you want to get in on that action, eh? wink wink, nudge nudge?"

I think it's much more important to see that situations like this are treated justly and fairly than to make sure I'm getting my cut of the corruption.
One thing that's interesting here is how Jobs doesn't answer the specific technical question: How does Java address the ideas embodied in OpenDoc?

Instead, Jobs answers the question behind the question: What role should new technologies play at Apple going forward?

This is a very useful technique to practice. When asked a question whose premise you don't agree with, you can become confrontational on that point. Or you can reach in to grab the question behind the question and answer that instead.
A reference would be helpful :-)

Gluten and dairy are in almost all packaged foods. They drive cravability in a big way. So I'm guessing any "debunking" was funded by someone making money from this.

There are a few people who are immune to the effect. You can pick them out because they either dislike or simply don't care for cheese (which is mostly casein).
Engineers who can't write work for those who can.

With AI reaching an acceptable level of mass acceptance (i.e. mediocrity), many writers for news media and the entertainment industry exist on an eroding edge of economic desperation.

Superior communication skills now stand as a critical hallmark of success for the future.

This may not necessarily mean traditional authoring skills as your app so deftly demonstrates, but crafting well-reasoned messages into a compelling narrative that works within a logical construct while eliciting emotional engagement still requires work and artistry worthy of your effort.

From memory, Valve has also been supporting anti-cheat providers to port to Linux (or perhaps I have misunderstood and they will also run under Proton?), so there’s always a chance this will be solved in the next couple of years. The Steam Deck has been a great catalyst for that within Valve, it seems.

SIP is another system that exists besides POSIX and the root user. With SIP enabled, let me demonstrate:

chris@chriscomp /usr/bin # sudo su root
root@chriscomp /usr/bin # touch testo
touch: testo: Operation not permitted

The possibility of privilege escalation vulns, like this one, exactly demonstrates the value of SIP! If someone escalates to root they can still do a lot of damage, but they can't do things like install a deep rootkit/kernel extension to silently snoop on you forever.

SIP also protects other things like your apple messages DB located at `~/Library/Messages/chat.db` . Even the root user, if running from a non-privileged origin process, can't read that file:

root@chriscomp / # cat /Users/chris/Library/Messages/chat.db
cat: /Users/chris/Library/Messages/chat.db: Operation not permitted

Granting an application/terminal the special Developer permission allows reading it though.
There should be something similar to the FDIC for medical device manufacturers. If you're a customer of a bank and the bank goes under, the FDIC will step in to ensure continuity of operations and youre eventually taken up by another bank that buys the assets.

For a company that makes medical devices, part of the bankrupcy process should be a 3rd party company coming in and taking over support and maintenance of the devices. Although this would be very challenging, one of the things that makes it possible with banks is at a high level,the business is the same. With medical devices it would be much much more difficult to find a suitable company to come in and take over operations.

At the very least this story is why we need Right to Repair laws. If not having another company step in to takeover support, at least make the device such that it can be repaired by an independent party

> an economist can tell you a 1000 ways to make love but has never touched another person

I was always partial to Brendan Behan's famous quote:

> “Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.”
I really like the proposal from John Scalzi's 'Lock In' series where companies that produce neural implants have to establish a trust or insurance contract with enough assets to pay for the maintenance of any implants for the lifetime of the recipients, regardless of what happens to the company.

Governments could provide generous subsidies, tax breaks etc. to such funds to reduce the barrier for entry for companies.

Without some solution like this, it's hard to imagine any non-essential neural implants really taking off: who would ever buy a neural lace from a startup — or even an established company like Google who might just lose interest — if there was no guarentee of patches and maintenance?
Some people are just confused by what comes out of Russia, because when Russians say "Nazis" they mean "enemies of Russia". They don't care about the anti-Semitism or anything; Russians are also anti-Semitic and didn't bother learning about the Holocaust. They just remember WW2 as that time Germany attacked them. So it's perfectly straightforward that Ukrainian Jewish people like Zelensky are also Nazis.
Agree. At the end of the day, someone is paying for the jr and sr person. Is that what they want? If so, then it is fine I suppose. They do need to state this clearly however.

Demand for storage varies greatly depending on overproduction, geography, and willingness to continue using fossil fuels. Plans for an 80% renewable grid in the he US are estimated at 12 hours of storage and "just" 3 weeks of storage. https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2018/03/01/12-hours-energy-stora...

The problem is, even 12 hours of storage is a prohibitively large amount. The US uses 12,000 GWh of electricity per day. 12 hours of storage is 6,000 GWh. The entire world produces 400 GWh of batteries each year. Most of it is going to EVs and electronics, not grid storage. Even if we stopped building EVs entirely and directed the world's supply of battery production to just America's grid storage needs were talking about a decade of production. And worse yet these batteries are good for a couple thousand cycles, and will have to be replaced after a few years of use. And even with this 6 terawatts of stotage, in the end we'll still have a fifth of our grid still dependent on fossil fuels.

Again, this is why plans for a renewable grid assume some other form of energy storage will be orders of magnitude better than lithium batteries. That'd be great if hydrogen, molten sand, compressed air, or something else delivers. But that's a big if on which to gamble the energy grid, especially when alternative paths to decarbonization that we have more than half a century operating are within our reach.
To be clear: the linked toy is able to transform itself. It is therefore both a toy and a robot, not merely a toy robot.

Most toys on the site are able to be transformed by manual manipulation, which must be learned by the user. For me, that's most of the fun: I enjoy learning the intricacies of each transformation and it's satisfying to move them back and forth between their various modes. Therefore a self-transforming toy, while technically impressive, has little allure for me.
Carmack has more than proved himself. !

Guess what buddy.... the entire fing executive management team is wading into areas they don't know this about, stabbing each other in the back, slowing progress due to corporate BS.

When you have a talent like that the organization makes space for them. It was never a cultural fit from the start.
I'm always going to be against adding more force and coercion. People are way too quick to reach for that as a solution to every purported problem.

I also think many of the people who are forced to vote will do so with the least effort possible and will keep voting for the same party they (and probably their parents) have always voted for without thinking too much about it or doing any research.

A quick glance at the chart and one could also show a link between federal income tax rates and executive compensation.

If you are taxed 73% you simply don’t have any incentive to “increase inequality” — you pay someone to show your income as a lot less than it really is. The real irony is the Reagan tax cuts resulted in more revenue because it just wasn’t worth the trouble to dodge paying taxes anymore.

Correlation, causation, lies, statistics, who knows?

They have done studies that showed that it "helped" about 60% of the time (sorry I don't have the reference). "Helped" is a far weaker term than cured.

I went GFCF for other reasons (IBS and excess mucus production) and was surprised when my Asperger's started to go away. My personal theory is that the small, but frequent, morphine effects interfere with learning. When you take that away, low level learning can begin again.

I was "face blind" (i.e. didn't automatically recognize familiar faces) and didn't pick up on social cues. Both problems when away after 6-12mo on GFCF. A lot of social awkwardness comes from not picking up on these fundamental inputs.
