It is worth noting that Google [1] (since 2016), Microsoft [2] and Adobe [3] all have their own collaborative whiteboard app. Yet Miro is almost the only one everyone is talking about. Maybe because it is by far the first (17B valuation) of 3 unicorns in the space [4]. Or is it the other way around ?

I like the expression "never underestimate the power of the default app" (already used in this thread). Well this did not work for Google and Microsoft. So is this gonna work for apple ? I can't say cause I don't have any apple product to test...

I've been told off by an official for sipping water from a small pet bottle on a balmy summer day in the metro. I wouldn't know if being obviously foreigner had anything to do with that or not.
I think you could share an address space by using the same SharedArrayBuffer to back the linear memory of both?

I could be wrong here, I haven’t done it, but I thought this was the reason for supporting atomics in the first place.

A garbage dump could stink up the place and create a health hazard. Some broken down cars won't hurt you
How many apps are really still like this? Surely it would be better to pay a few quid to developers that keep their builds current? Or are you bothered because you can’t use a £1 app for over eight years or something?
What about compressing some of the atmosphere and then releasing it repeatedly from close proximity over the dusty panels?

Given the very low atmosphereric pressure on Mars, a bit of gas at terrestrial sea level pressure equivalent would do wonders.

As for downsides - you need a compressor and some filtering to avoid clogging your gas system with dust (thats likely the main obstacle).

Still doable IMHO and I'm sure followup probes and eventually settlements will find how to handle Martian dust efficiently.
In Canada it’s a common argument as to why the CRA goes after waitresses for unclaimed tips and similar trivial cases, versus tackling high-net worth and corporate tax evasion/fraud. It comes down to dollars recovered per agent hour as a metric for the government. The average joe can’t afford to tie up the CRA in court for years with high-paid legal teams, which means that their KPI results are negatively correlated with the financial resources of their target. Why spend years potentially recovering millions when you can spend minutes recovering hundreds or thousands with virtually no risk?
The rover was designed to last one Mars year and went for two Mars years. Good result either way.

The Makapansgat Pebble
I find it interesting that many different philosophical traditions all seem to discover an ascetic ideal in one way or another. Maybe "ideal" is not the right word. I think if you really examine your own life and existence one would have to admit that they would be much better off if they could learn to be happy with an sparse lifestyle. But as you point out, this is not a very popular proposition either.

I disagree with the author regarding their complains surrounding rich people going through life easier. Unfortunately that will always be possible and complaining about it muddied this article

However, I agree with the author that a private company should not be getting between me and my government. I am okay with TSA as long as it is my government making sure airports are safe. I am fine with paying more for expedited passports because that is a deal between me and my government. I am fine with expedited boarding because that never involved my government and it never should.

This is a situation, like the author said, that is similar to the intuit catastrophe. Paying CLEAR is equivalent (in the long term) to ensuring that no forward progress is made on simplifying and expediting airport security.
>needs an offramp

I couldn't agree with you more.

I work with artists who build great teetering cathedrals on top of Arduino(and Processing), and it's really difficult to incrementally move to a more serious solution once things have reached a certain level

Specifically the things it does that bake in bad habits are:

- Encouraging globals

- Everything in one namespace

- Arduino is not C++

- not needing pre-definitions(mostly) and spamming all .pdes into the same file leads to tangled code that's really hard to pull apart into modules, even if it's separated in tabs in the Arduino editor

- delay: not composable!

- for esp specifically:
Thinking in terms of a single loop function Vs multiple rtos threads

- the ide is terrible, and encourages a copy-paste workflow because that's how best to work within it
> Thus, the idea is that through typically negligible effort porting to HiP, your code becomes vendor-independent.

Here, the big AMD mistake was to rename those function prefixes in the first place. It's a mistake that they could have avoided...

What a lot of SW codebases did to support AMD (see PyTorch code notably): codebase is still CUDA, have the conversion pass to HIP done at build time.

See https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIPIFY/blob/amd-stag... for the Perl script to do it.

Then comes the problem of AMD not supporting ROCm HIP on most of their hardware or user base.

On Windows, the ROCm HIP SDK is private and only available under NDA. This means that while you can use Blender w/ HIP on Windows, the Blender builds that you compile yourself will not be able to use ROCm HIP.

On Linux, the supported GPUs are few and far between, Vega20 onwards are supported today. APUs, RDNA1, and lower end RDNA2 w/o unsupported hacks (6700 XT and below) are excluded.
You're right, Excel does save back to CSV. It discards half your changes because they can't be saved in a CSV, modifies anything that could possibly be a date, and rounds random numbers, THEN it saves it as a CSV.

Actually generating a key and signing commits is pretty easy. I think the harder part would be ensuring all devs safely store the keys, rotate them regularly, etc.
There is a SharedMemoryBuffer, but it’s a web platform thing, not available in out-of-browser runtimes like wasmtime or wasmer or wasmedge (which Docker uses).
Well, the MERs lasted quite a bit longer & were moving systems. A bit of a shame a static lander can't beat them. :P
How Not to Waste a Senior Hire
The tweet thread itself doesn't say that using self cleaning panels would be impossible, or even that hard, just that it's easier and more cost effective to just bring bigger panels. Not of your bullet points seem that relevant honestly - using an equivalent of a leaf blower would do the trick. But any added complexity to a mission just means there are more failure points.
The glibc 2.26 breakages (including the ucontext thing) were what made me stick to musl/Alpine. This was in 2017, around the same time poettering did the "i don't consider this much of a problem"-things on github.
>Maybe someday humans will get that.

That's what the litigation is.
> Terrible people can be absolutely correct.

The author of this article agrees with you, and says so; I was more interested in the latter half of the article, where he explains why "the facts are not on Hardin's side".

> Would I be correct in my read of your take that you don't believe the tragedy of the commons exists?

The privatization of the commons seems to me the much greater tragedy, leading to large-scale exploitation and irresponsible environmental degradation. From what I see, distributed networks of human-scale communities tend to manage shared resources in a sustainable way; to fuck things up on a grand scale, you need centralized power and a managerial distance from consequences.
If it saves you at least 15 minutes a month then it sounds like a bargain.
That only shares one allocation (like shared memory does in regular multi-process scenarios), but you still can't share the address space or even any object heaps at all. Like it's not possible to allocate javascript objects out of a SharedArrayBuffer such that you could pretend you had a shared address space by sticking everything in that.

As in, SharedArrayBuffer is equivalent to shm_open. Which means it's not even that good as a shared memory construct as it's missing all the protection enforcement of memfd (or Android's ashmem)
> I actually used to work for them as a lawyer, indirectly.

I was a small-time expert witness (on the plaintiff's side) against them in a very small lawsuit. It was the first and last time I served in that capacity.

A child was born with horrific birth defects. Parents claimed that a specific medication caused it. Pfizer obviously said otherwise.

The whole thing left me feeling dirty. Experts charging $600 / hour (this was over a decade ago, so God knows what they charge now) to say, with diamond-hard confidence, whatever their side wanted them to say.

Plaintiff's experts: "That drug _definitely_ caused the birth defects."

Defense experts: "There is no possible way that drug could cause birth defects."

Basically, here was a tragedy, and we all feasted on it. One of the other experts told me I could be "good at this" (selling myself out as an expert), but it just left me feeling dirty.
Funny quip, but my children aren't going into creative fields, the topic at hand. And for what it's worth, they're both graduating high school early to pursue medicine.
"The labor share of income in 35 advanced economies fell from around 54 percent in 1980 to 50.5 percent in 2014." - Ownership is overtaking working.

and within that, income to the top 0.1% is rising faster than the bottom half.
The rich are getting richer, faster and faster.

Well, Microsoft has always been about "our stuff is first class citizen, everything else is second class citizen". You could see that in the 2000s when Microsoft claimed Windows 2003 to be multiplatform because it could run binaries from windows 95, windows 98, windows 2000 and windows xp.

What happened with .net is that C# is first class, F# is second class, and everything else is third class citizen at best (when not directly attacked via patent litigation).
That is responsibility. You outsource to, let's say, okta, okta takes an insurance. Payment goes down the chain.

The accountability to pick okta and check if they are, let's say within gdpr is on you!
What is their moat though? Apple has a bunch of moats:

1) Brand cachet

2) Supply chain prowess

3) Software lock-in (it’s a pain just to switch away yourself)

4) Social lock-in (it’s a pain to switch away from what your family and friends are on)

I’m not arguing in favor of these btw.

Cars don’t have 3 or 4. Musk is rapidly destroying 1.

Can Tesla really beat Toyota at supply chain? Color me extremely skeptical.

So that leaves what, FSD? I mean, I guess maybe Tesla will both get to actual safe, reliable self-driving first in a way that people choose Tesla over other cars, and they’ll somehow maintain that position even when Waymo or others start licensing their tech to everyone. But there’s no evidence for that. The evidence seems to point to FSD being a dangerous fraud that’s stuck on a dead end road with little ability to make a u-turn. Just like their so-called Full Self Driving performs in real life :)
We'll have to see how this works. It may be a good fit for the team I'm working with.

I'm writing a native iOS app. Everyone has iPhones (It's an iPhone app, basically). The Azure guy has a PC, but everyone else uses Macs.

I can't get the team to use Slack (the Azure guy does, but everyone else wants to use Messages, which is a huge PitA).

Sometimes, we need to find the tool that everyone uses; not the one that fits our worldview.
Numbers opens the CSV file, gives the user a screen to control import settings, and supports exporting as a CSV with custom delimeters.

Excel does save back to CSV. It discards half your changes because they can't be saved in a CSV, modifies anything that could possibly be a date, and rounds random numbers, THEN it saves it as a CSV.

Numbers makes this an explicit "Export" option because silently saving these types of changes is super dangerous.
Reading that link, it appears they are saying the IRS is concentrates its efforts on small businesses because they have the best chance of recovery.

The assumption that a 2005 CR-V in reasonable condition is a $3k car was probably a decent one 3 years ago. Less so now if my recent auto shopping is any indication.

I like driving older cars into the well-maintained 200-300k mile range myself and I heartily agree that it’s the economical choice. I’ve financed a year-long sabbatical by driving a ‘93 sedan, so the potential gains really are not only four figures per year, they can reach into five figures.

At the same time the GP’s projection of catastrophic failure rings true to me — almost every car I’ve had reached this point. Each time I’ve also either had the resources to deal with the problem or generous help to fall back on, but it’s easy to imagine what it would be like if that had not been the case and it isn’t pretty. And it’s usually time-consuming and inconvenient to find the next bargain old auto as well.
I agree that It's good when used to fight property crimes and bad when used to stifle political dissent. But does anyone really believe we can avoid it at this point?
What apps are these? Have you considered paying the developers for continued support? They are obsolete! Surely there are alternatives, don’t let stuff drag you back to the past.
Or, you can just talk to your neighbors about it ahead of time and come to some agreement. I know this relies on having sane, reasonable neighbors which is not a given.

I built a single engine airplane in my suburban garage over the course of six years, and it involved lots of specialized (and loud) tools. Air compressors, rivet guns and other pneumatic tools. Before starting, I visited both neighbors and gave them a heads up to see if they had any problems with it. We agreed on night and weekend curfews for the air compressor and tools and that was that.

Sure. But define “limited resources” and “survive”. When life is zero sum - i.e. either you die or I die, yes humans are often selfish. But in actual day to day life those situations are exceedingly rare. Our normal drive, in my experience, is to form communities around shared care of common resources - because that is often both in our personal self interest and in our communal interest.
Total nonsense. FTX made no distinctions, neither by contract nor by country of origin.

> It blows my mind that no one has made a tool like that in so long. […] Why has the pinnacle of ease of use in game creation been achieved and never replicated since?

FWIW it never went away¹ and targets standards-based runtimes these days. I'm sure there are many kids every month having the same kind of epiphanies with it!

That being said, because Adobe Animate is marketed as a tool for professionals rather than kids/enthusiasts, orders of magnitude more kids are having the kind of experience you had with Minecraft and Roblox instead.

> What the comment says is that the third-party app ecosystem on Android is shitty. Which is not the same thing as saying that Android itself is shitty, or that Google’s apps are shitty.
Just that for various

A lot of Android (and iOS for that matter) first party apps are also shitty, so the provenance doesn't really matter.

In that case, we look at the bailiff, point at the judge, and say "Take em away, boys".

No we look at the primary suspect's digital footprints and analyze metadata, look for other nearby video feeds, etc. We try to see if additional evidence is corroborating.
Excel will just silently modify everything and "save" it back as a CSV. I would rather that both Excel and Numbers only saved to CSV as an Export option.

> So what incentives are there for a scientist or engineer to aspire to be wise given the lack of prizes and career rewards for wisdom?

If everything comes down to incentives at the end of the day, it defeats any sense of morality. Perhaps that's the author's point here. The wise scientist/engineer does what they believe is right and the rest is history. In their attempt for doing what's right, they may accidentally create their best work.

This overall reminds me of the search for the philosopher's stone. Where many ended up finding "philosophical gold(wisdom)" through the process of trying to find it and lead to their own individual magnum opus(great work).

JetBrains' fundamental market position is that companies pay per seat for an it-just-works IDE. So if anything, IDE-in-browser, where code is executing on a hosted backend, is even more aligned with this.

The real question is whether they can execute on this. Will they be able to replicate years of VS Code's work on providing UI extensibility without sacrificing performance, with a team that historically had been JVM rather than JS/TS experts? Will they be able to build the right abstractions to allow for temporary network outages and all the distributed-systems challenges that come with that? It's quite a moonshot to get to the level that people expect of VS Code, especially as Microsoft has access to relatively-limitless capital in ways that JetBrains, which has not taken outside investment, does not.
I can't know ahead of time the exact aspect ratio the player will run the game at. 16:9 and 16:10 are the most common on today's monitors, but the game might be running in a window, or fullscreen on an unusual monitor.

If I just made the game at a fixed 16:9 ratio, it'd leave empty space at the edges of any window that isn't exactly 16:9. Same if I chose 16:10 or any fixed aspect ratio.

By supporting a range of ratios between 16:9 and 16:10, I maximize the number of window sizes that the game will display nicely in without any empty space (black bars) at the sides.

The best way, I thought, to support a range of aspect ratios was to define two rectangles in the scene, having the minimum and maximum ratios supported, and interpolate the camera rectangle between them.

Hope that makes sense!

this thread has lost the distinction between light industrial zoning, community aesthetics and personal behaviors. In the "USA" is not really useful because, due to history, these laws in one State can be very different than in another USA State; that property ownership is generally a County level authority; and City rules can be different again, by zoning.

There is no shortage of stupid, destructive behavior among humans, agree. However zoning is generally exactly to keep light industrial activity (poisons, smells, leaks) away from residential areas (children, people with illness, health). The personal Auto blurs that distinction and yes, is a source of poisons and bad aesthetics.. so there is work to do.

Two items -- people from Asian countries, or the Global South, or others, do have really different cultural aesthetics than Germans about houses and yards; secondly there is a different fundamental agreement in America about how to allocate rights and responsibility to land owners. Is it not true that most Germans do not own a home? Is it true that the Catholic Church in Germany is the largest apartment owner, by a large margin?

My big worry with the disappearance of public pay-phones is for the homeless and other poor. However, I recently learned that there are often programs to assist them with getting cellular devices. All in all, a mobile device is probably much more useful than a public payphone (as long as they can keep it charged). I'm a little under-educated on what the actual reality of this situation is, tbh.
