They were still investing in 8-bit computers because they thought they'd recoup the investment. They did the 128, the 128D, and almost did a laptop and the C-65.

At the time it seemed like a sane thing to do while now we know they probably should have bet the farm on the Amigas (and take that Sun deal for the 3000/UX)

"Cheaper" can still be more expensive than doing it on your own property that you're already paying for.

The only real expensive is your time. Some people value their time doing this far more than they would by sending it to someone else. There absolutely is value in doing things yourself when you can.

There’s no such thing as a business that’s both lucrative and trivial. To the extent that you need finesse, hard work and luck to build a successful business, the same combination of finesse, hard work and luck could land you an equally or more lucrative corporate job.

You can also make passive income by investing your large corporate salary and earn extra income without working. There’s no such thing truly passive, zero labor
income when running a business, there’s always some managerial overhead even if you delegate as much as possible. Index funds are truly 100% passive.
Flash is great and tons of devs still use flash. I also use flash in my custom game engine (the one powering The End is Nigh and the upcoming Mewgenics), a different approach to what the dev in this article did (seeing as these are new games and not ports of existing flash games), my approach is to load SWF files as the resource files for art and animation in my game, and render them as vector. Flash puts a lot of information in those files, and I parse just enough actionscript bytecode that I hook and trigger C++ functions from my actionscript parser. This lets us use flash almost exactly the way we used it for making flash games back in the mid 2000s, with all of the interesting workflow tricks and hacks that made it so nice, while being able to write all the actual gameplay code in a real language and render it with openGL so its actually fast.

The glass layer would be lost in recycling, but it shouldn't impede recycling the metal too badly as it'd just be a tiny bit more slag in the crucible.
Would you be OK to find yourself in this situation[0] in the future?

Actually, Wasm goes into the direction you are pointing. A Wasm runtime should add a little overhead to the requirements of the Wasm module.

However, it's true Wasm is not on that point yet. There are open threads about deallocate Wasm memory [1]. However, I expect these features, as well as Garbage Collection [2] will come to the stardard over time. This will allow modules and runtimes to properly manage memory usage.

This is especially worrying when no humans are involved. If your Google account gets banned by some automated bot for whatever reason, you might find any attempts to create new accounts be considered "ban evasion".

Regardless of the fact that you have very few options for things like ad networks or publishing Android applications, even before you consider losing access to your e-mails or any servers you might have.
Pensions, social security, and Medicare/Medicaid can all be wiped out with the stroke of a pen. A hard asset such as a home is not so simple. I think there is still room for housing to be the best investment a person could make in their life.
Plain-English synopsis: Groundwater is an essential resource for societies and ecosystems. The rate at which rainfall and snow replenish groundwater storage is important as it dictates the upper limit of sustainable groundwater use. Here we use measurements of groundwater recharge to show how climate determines groundwater recharge rates. Measured recharge rates, on average, strongly exceed those of models. This suggests there is more recharge globally than currently acknowledged. Consequently, also more groundwater recharge must get back to Earth's surface via river flow or water use of vegetation.

> she may not have understood what an actual expert was.

There is a legal "standard" around the admissibility of expert testimony (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daubert_standard).

The person who got me to testify told me he made around $700 K per year. He drove a ~$200K Maybach so I had no reason to doubt him.

I also met a plaintiff's lawyer who told me, roughly, "If the lawsuit ever sees a jury, the jury never understands the science. It's all about likeability and looking good. I had a juror tell me, 'I picked your side because you had a really nice tie.' So, I always wear a nice tie!"

That was probably a hyperbolic story, but I'm sure there's a lot of truth to it, too.
Being somewhat famous and in a public place makes it less than ideal for calling in bomb threats or whatnot.
I'm not a fan of HOAs, but there is a big difference between thinking that a hyper-local opt-in association is worthwhile and thinking that it should be part of the legal requirements.

> the first post of yours I replied to has a false equivalence between assault without violence

I responded to "Thing that is not violence is violence." by stating that words can be considered violent in some cases, for instance assault requires no physical contact. You take that to mean whatever you want, but don't accuse me of a false equivalence when what I said was literally true.

> I just live in the world I don't dictate it.

You are in total control of how you respond to things. And you stuck to a bad tactic because you refuse to acknowledge that it doesn't do anything but shut down rational communication, then accuse me of lack of self-awareness. The irony is palpable.

Anyway, I can tell you are the type of person that even if you know you are standing on a bad position you will not back down, so I will go ahead and let you have the last word, which I am sure is going to be some kind of re-affirmation that it is my fault for making you act like this. Good day.

Couldn't agree more. We need better ways of fighting against this at multiple levels. No CEO should even aspire to be so intrusive and rent seeking. Part of this seems cultural, though I'm not sure what the fix is.
Debt forgiveness isn't printing money, it's destroying money. Remember, someone holds those loans on the asset side of their ledger. The money was "printed" when the loan was originated.

Here's a simple example. Suppose that I loan you $20. Then later I say, you know what, don't worry about it, your debt to me is forgiven. Do I have to "print" $20 to do that? No, of course not. Do you have to somehow come up with $20? Also obviously not. My net worth decreases by $20, and yours stays constant. Clearly the total supply of financial assets has been reduced, not increased.
I don't buy that as a general principal. You get the odd fascist leader of democracies that wants to do that in say Hungary, Turkey, even the US got a whiff of it. But most people and most politicians actually like democracy and support the ideas around it, they want to be left along and live in peace and prosperity. Pols want power and to crush the other political side in parliment, but ending public dissent is not the plan of most political parties or politicians.
How many folks out there need to run arbitrary untrusted code on their systems? I think most of the time, the code they run is either their own or from a trusted third party.

And for those use cases, where secure containment of running applications is not a goal at all (beyond maybe taking some basic precautions), I fail to see any value to recompile it to WASM, CLR, JVM, Z80 bytecode or whatever else.

Those who need isolation - yeah, WASM could be a very solid alternative to having a VM. But it's a pretty niche use case.
That was a surprisingly prosaic way to communicate this feeling, are you by chance a writer? If not, you should write more!

It's a long story. I was presenting at a conference, and my employer was not respectful of the separation between work and home. So I felt like I couldn't really... vacation... like a normal twenty something.

The 1MW powerplant will be mounted on a De Havilland Dash 8-100 turboprop aircraft, scheduled to perform its first test flight in 2024. The engine and its technology will allow for more efficient engine performance during the different phases of flight, such as take-off, climb and cruise.

The goal of the battery-electric powertrain is to reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions by 30% compared to a standard Dash-8 turboprop.

This doesn't really match since the "Embrace" part is different.

The classic formula was "embracing" an established standard, making proprietary extensions to that standard, then using the adoption of those proprietary extensions to extinguish the original standard's market share.

In this case, Microsoft didn't embrace an existing code base or standard, they made one and open sourced it. What would the analagous "extinction" bere here? That they eventually stop releasing updates to VSCode as open source?

While I agree that there is good reason to doubt Microsoft's intention to be a good steward of an open source project, this seems less like another iteration of that playbook and more like what a lot of "open source" for-profit companies do where they have an open core but keep many features proprietary so they can't be easily forked.

I did a similar commute for a few years. The trick, I found, is to do something which leaves you mentally relaxed.

In no particular order - sleep, podcasts, reading a book, playing games, writing blog posts, knitting, Duolingo, Sudoku, chatting with friends, and - finally - work.

I asked my boss if I could leave slightly early as long as I was working on my commute. That's possible if your job is mostly answering emails and you have a laptop and a stable data connection.

Ultimately, the real solution is to move somewhere with a simpler or shorter commute. In a few months you'll have more work history and more savings. That'll make it easier to rent, or house share. See if anyone from work has a spare room.
