I think you have a valid point about not being complacent but all of your examples highlight how hard it is to pick a growth strategy which actually works long-term. Those companies all did what Wall Street analysts wanted but chasing that growth lead to their downfall: Nokia and Motorola cut things like R&D, which is expensive and uncertain, and focused on marketing & expansion. They cut deals with the cell carriers which produced big numbers but turned creative control of their product over to the phone companies. Remember all of the calls for Apple to give Verizon what they wanted to gain access to their customers?

Blockbuster is a different industry but again they were focused on financial growth at the expense of the company. Trying to hit those targets meant they opened marginal locations and it also meant things like reducing “costs” like staffing (but not strategic investments like C-level compensation, of course) which had given them something Netflix couldn’t easily match.
Twitter is having issues paying severance and rent, I think labeling it troubled is fair. Also fidelity slashed twitter’s valuation in half.

If I understand correctly, this is producing hydrogen and oxygen mixed together. This is useless. It's also overall less efficient that commercial PV cells driving commercial electrolysers.

One common issue with all these concepts doing electrolysis at the collector is how do you gather the hydrogen. Rigging PV modules together with wires is much more practical than hooking hydrogen emitters together with tubing or pipes.

i guess that in a very strict sense “no deductions” might mean you can’t deduct business expenses, but I doubt that the tax code ACTUALLY works that way. I think the article is talking about individual, not business deductions.

If you taxed revenues, some businesses would just be impossible to run. I have to imagine that there are grocery stores and pharmacies in the Faroe Islands.

Twitter was a public company, so whatever financial issues were far more readily accessible before the acquisition. That alone should inform you of the true agenda of that narrative.

The amusing part is that this narrative is ultimately getting checked by reality - with each passing month of the company not immediately failing as per the media hysterics, people will have to face that uncomfortable cognitive dissonance.

You can't get around the fact that they are making a claim that something is impossible. If they merely said it was difficult, or the 'something' was something of no interest, there would be nothing here worth discussing.
I think you’re right, peasant life wasn’t so dystopian through the Middle Ages, and it seems to get a bad rap. Peasants didn’t have modern freedoms but they were not chattel slaves. They had a lot of free time and for much of history had a lot of land-per-person. Humans with free time and space, even if they are economically poor, carve out interesting and non-dystopian lives for themselves.

I know explicit propaganda was used to try to convince Russian peasants their lives were miserable to spur the communist revolution. I’m not sure about explicit propaganda elsewhere. I think our collective consciences have merged together images of “old poverty” and we have an image of surfs that are closer to chattel slaves thanks to colonialism and industrialization. I also suspect quality of life among peasants was volatile over time, with famines and political turmoil hitting them extremely hard. By the industrial revolution it may really have been dystopian in much of Europe.

Could you elaborate on that? These internal rules sound intriguing and potentially helpful for other people struggling with charisma
Good points. The interest isn't something I'd take into account.
> I don't recall this being a common consensus before the acquisition

The company had issues prior, but the financial blow Twitter took the day the deal closed may be impossible to recover from. These were not hidden revelations that came to light, they occurred because of the price paid. It's looking increasingly likely Twitter died the day the acquisition closed, and actions since are proverbial deck chairs.

That was how I was doing OOP in C in the late 80s and early 90s. I found many of those concepts both in Python and in JavaScript. After all they were born around that time.

Python because of the insistence of declaring that explicit self argument, the pointer to the struct for the object.

JavaScript because of the prototype based OO. You can change the meaning of any field in an OO C struct if you know how to handle it later.
Other than a lawsuit that’s as of yet unresolved, this seems to be the main source for your claim, from The New York Times:

There is a case for portable storage, sure.

Hydrogen at scale is going to look more like a means to export sunlight energy from equatorial climes (Australia, Sahel, etc) to Europe, the northern US, Canada as required.

Efficiencies dictate the most likely roll out is large central generation of electricity and dispersal via the existing electrical grid system.

In a similar view individual per apartment solar panels make little sense, panels should be built into entire buildings .. across roofs and across any required parking structures, etc.

I think a lot of big tech companies are getting into hardware in order to diversify and help build a platform to support future online components. Meta has AR and VR, Google has Nest and Fitbit, Apple obviously makes tons of hardware, Amazon with Alexa and warehouse robotics. All of the above make custom servers which require firmware. Even Netflix has some embedded devs working on supporting streaming devices.

What’s nice is that embedded swe equals regular swe salaries at these companies! I am an embedded dev at a big tech company and interviewed at most of the FAANGS recently.

The “fraud” issue is then an issue is whether the placement is on a site that actually has rights to its content. Maybe this would make link farms and other spam sites uneconomical, which would be great.
You can't operate a car / tractor / hot air balloon with just an efficient house.

Also, you can't run your house on an efficient house + solar over the 2-6 months the sun isn't in the right place (in the sky) for very long or when your panels are covered in snow for a week.

An efficient house gets you to the table and is a multiplier, but long term energy storage is also really important for lots of people.

Hydrogen, though, that stuff's tough. I think 99% of Hydrogen advocates don't understand just how nasty the stuff is.

Yes, I would like that. It's nice to have a place to record negative experiences in a way that might contribute to a positive outcome eventually. Some of the best (and most verboten) content will come, of course, from insiders.

One issue I foresee, similar to how local business groups inevitably get overwhelmed with real-estate agents, is that this venture will get overwhelmed with complaints against ISPs and other utilities.

> by the time second place came about the game would already be over.

That’s presumably true, but it means there could have been a very large number of losers not just 1. Aka if extremely primitive life showed up once on earth then it might be a rare event, if it happened 100 trillion times then most planets with the right conditions will have some form of life.
Also, most AI (eg, chess AI) will pick randomly from a set of top moves — if there are several good options.

How random that is we can argue; but how random is your biology really?
> Wow, another crazy silly idea that requires huge behavior change.

The idea here is infrastructure change — behavioural change will follow (and has more benefits than just reduced emissions).

Proof that it's not crazy and silly is that this has actually been done in the Netherlands.

Edit: which of course is not to say that other sources of emissions also need to be addressed.
> I have zero tolerance for people who push their religious views on others and also use their religion to justify violence.

Those who push their religious views on others and also use their religion to justify violence are extremely minority, majority of muslims do not do those things. And "bad muslims" always in those media or news because who would read articles about "nice muslim". So you should know what I mean.

And insulting *any* religions is not acceptable and deserve to be punished. As for beheading punishment though, I do not have enough knowledge to comment about it.
Using ADT to mean “abstract data type” does not mean anything more than what most people mean when they say “type”. Outside of distinguishing from other meanings of the word “type” there is no practical reason to ever say it. It doesn’t sound fancy, it just sounds like getting high on your own supply of acronyms. It is not an important term to learn as a beginner in the first chapters of a programming book. We should stop using it in resources like this.

Otherwise, ADT can also refer to “algebraic data type” which means the ability to compose types together thereby adding or multiplying the different values the resulting type can take. Product types (aka structs) multiply over their fields; two int fields when taken together can take on (# different values of int) * (# different values of int) different values. Sum types add over their variants: a Rust enum “enum OptionalInt { Some(i32), Maybe(i32), None }” can take (# different values of i32) + (# different values of i32) + 1 different values.

Most languages have structs and that’s the “product type” sorted, so ADT generally refers to a language having tagged enums. C doesn’t have that but you can emulate it (quite badly) with unions and enums. Good examples of languages with ADTs are OCaml, Haskell, Rust.
> I disagree it’s a very limited setting.

An automated vehicle has a couple of well defined controls. It cannot play the piano. It cannot recommend products. It cannot take a picture and tell me what kind of bird that is. In fact, it probably cannot even drive offroad, despite that being a very closely related task to what it is made to do.

A person trained to drive a car on roads may have difficulty time on his first few offroad drives, but can quickly aquire the skills. He won't be completely unable to function either, because to a human, navigating is navigating, whether we walk through our own homes, or drive a vehicle over rough terrain.

To AI as we currently understand it, all of these are completely different tasks.
Why can't the banning depictions of mohammad also be 'perfectly reasonable' because it university classrooms are not places of intellectual freedom, they are places of indoctrination. I can't think of any good reason for a teacher to want to violate this policy unless they want to push their own agenda onto the students. See how generic your defense is? It can be used for anything you disagree with.

'I need a new butt', was a book on the schools reading list. Was firing that teacher perfectly reasonable also? Was a funny book about butts indoctrination?

For me, the path has been to start at a web developer, then building up more and more advanced skills to end up in making browser-based games as a profession. Perhaps my skills and end results wouldn’t be very impressive compared to a more hardcore real gam dev, but it the salary and benefits are well on par with a regular job and I get to do fun things at work.

I recommend going down this path as a front end engineer.
Even if it was a religious majority it should stand. She was trying give an example of art history , how it was. The fact that some believe it is outlawed in their beliefsystem (which is a result of the Wahhabism movement as I understand it) is exactly the point of learning and knowing the context of which an image was made in.

It’s indeed a form of maturity. Or learning or aspiring to be exposed to other viewpoints and ways of seeing.
Ads predate surveillance capitalism, so of course they can.

Unfortunately, 'China as pioneer' is politically and culturally unacceptable in the current climate; the requirement to always present the superior case to the commies will delay or even prevent potentially important legislation from being considered and passed. Forcing Bytedance to insert STEM education videos on Douyin addicts seems like an objectively good idea, but one which could never be adopted because China did it. Interesting to see what this legislation is intended to do, looks like an attempt to illegalise at source
I interpreted this as the product had a high risk/high reward profile.

Presumably for the developer the reward for the high reward path is continued employment, and the penalty for the high risk path is loss of job
To refer to the post, I don't know how a tail call optimisation would look for a coroutine. My async/await implementation has overhead of scheduling but the scheduler is very simple.

Above this code is a switch statement and it's in a loop. The nestged switch statement switches on currentTask and loop task state.

for (int i = -1; i < state.size(); i++) {

int task = (currentTask + i + 1) % state.size();
if (state.get(task) == 0) {
currentTask = task;
}
}

No stack but 3 integers are used per coroutine. How do you have multiple instances of coroutines without destroying state of each one?

I am interested in coroutines and there's a corollary between recursion and coroutines and stacks.

I am trying to work out how to implement coroutines or async/await. I've written an unrolled switched based multithreaded implementation. Currently coroutines can async fork/eagerly start on another thread but it only supports one forked coroutine at a time at this time. This is similar to other async/await engines.

You can have stackful coroutines (allocated on the heap) or stackless coroutines data presumably in your stackful langauage as a local variable or class variable or global.

If I have N coroutines, I need to allocate three integers for each coroutine instance. One is the task state which is running or not running. Then there is integer/string for top level state (where in the coroutine are we) and then there is loop level state. A coroutine can be executing in any depth of loops, but these two integers or strings in my case represent all execution environments.

Code of my unrolled state machine that uses switch statements and multithreading is here
https://github.com/samsquire/multiversion-concurrency-contro...

I want to redesign the architecture of the async/await to be easier to understand. I want to use a state machine somehow.
Stuff like unnecessary anti-trust is how you end up with a 1500$ phone which is completely locked and that you cannot charge while listening to music at the same time.

This project would be interesting only to the extent it accurately showed the negative impact of monopolies.

Unfortunately, this subject area is full of strong emotions and opinions that make it hard for people to be objective.

For example the article you link says that Google and Blackberry worked jointly on the 1:1 format phone, and jointly decided to stop working on it. That hardly sounds like an abusive monopolist.

And sure, at that point Android was more popular than the BlackBerry OS. But this actually demonstrates healthy competition. I had a Blackberry for work (edit to clarify: running BlackBerry’s own OS and software), and so did all my coworkers. Blackberry was the dominant mobile platform once. Through complacency and poor decision-making, they stopped innovating and competing. And thus, allowed new products with zero installed base on day one to come in and take their market.
A lot of that goes away if you avoid Javascript/Node as your first ecosystem. The unnecessary complexity and cargo-culting there is off the charts. It's overwhelming even for the experienced engineers.

I got so jaded dealing with this JS nonsense just to get a simple front-end going for my pet project that I just said "screw it" and started using straight up ES6 in the browser. No libraries, no transpilers, no minifiers.

> There's no reason to think he's guilty, apart from blind trust in the police's word.

In my experience there’s a very deeply ingrained sense that police are the good guys lingering in average suburban Americans of a certain age. (I’m sure in others too that’s just my background.) It’s really hard to discuss these kinds of topics with someone that by default accepts that police action implies necessity.
Unemployment is the lowest it has been since the fifties. So it has to increase a lot before it gets to levels traditionally associated with recessions.
While technically true, there's still so much improvement to be had in flat-enough places that that's basically irrelevant for a while. Cities like London, Berlin or Paris are totally fine for cycling when it comes to flatness, and I'm sure many others that I'm less familiar with are too. And with electric bicycles, even cities like Arnhem are perfectly doable, as long as the infrastructure's up for it.
>and just as most Christians don't support setting bears on children that mock priests.

I’m not Christian (anymore) but I’m pretty sure this isn’t a thing in canon law.

In contrast, the major strains of Islam are refreshingly clear in their treatment of apostates and unbelievers. Even a “kinder, gentler” interpretation retains the seeds of this dogma unless it rejects the Quran, which Islam holds to be the literal word of God. If you don’t hold with that, you’re not Muslim by definition.
>> But often they get stuck on fixing whatever the most recent thing that bothered them about our code rather than on what actually impacts customers in the long or short term.

One company had a homegrown debug protocol and tool to interface with it. I needed to add some custom info screens for development, but it was very hard to add because the code was $h!t. So I started fixing it just to be able to add my new data. Not only was I told that Work should be "managed" and prioritized, it was later discarded even though I had done it.

When programmers do things to "make the code better", it may not have an impact on today's customer demands, but it is meant to make the programmers more efficient in the future. This is stuff that will - by definition - Never be a priority in management's eyes.
Yes you can. It was the norm in the first days of the internet, before big corporation like Meta and Google made us believe that in order to show ADS you need to track the user.

Before one says "but if you don't track the user you cannot know how many user did see the AD and you cannot target the AD to the user preferences so no one will buy them", because nobody buys ADs on TV, radio and newspapers where you have the same one directional communication channel? Come on, they are only excuses to collect more user data...
Also those embedded in video ads YouTubers or podcasts do (assuming they comply with other regulations like disclosing the sponsored nature).

Online advertisers would explode if any online ad gave them viewability equivalent to the "the side of a bus", or "roadside billboards", only they can't measure it (but there are efforts to try with cameras on billboards in the industry), yet despite this buses and billboards actually carry a premium compared to internet ads because it's a less competitive market.
