Not to say it's not a great game, but Marathon uses a Doom-like 2.5D raycasting engine which doesn't need a 3D accelerator, just enough memory speed to draw each frame (which the PowerMac obviously had).
Life gets a lot more complicated when you have to render perspective correct triangles with filtered textures, lighting and z-buffers in a true 3D space.
I like owning the house because then I can modify it to suit. Rentals tend to be designed right down the middle, for maximum appeal. But I like different things. Some of my ideas I was bluntly told by the contractor would make the house difficult to sell.

Designed by whom, Government? Someone else?

If it is designed, is it designed correctly?

I am concerned that pro market position wants to have it both ways, sometimes claims its designed and sometimes that invisible hand knows best.

They seem to be unwilling to examine market failure and fix prohlem before they result in disasters like 2008 did
> The company was in trouble but salvageable.

No. You should re-read that memo, specifically starting at "In 2008, Apple's market share in the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by 2010 it escalated to 61 percent." paragraph.

In 2010 nobody was interested in Symbian, no one else made phones on Symbian, no one would do apps for Symbian[0] - who would bother with all the Symbian shenanigans when even Nokia itself said what it would move to MeeGo 'soon', along with ~10% of smartphone market? Money was in Apple and Android.

To be salvageable you need something in demand on the market and Nokia only had a brand. You can't salvage an 18-wheeler running off the cliff.

Personally, I had a displeasure of trying to do something on colleague's N8 somewhere in 2011-2012. Not only it was slow as molasses but most of the apps which relied on Ovi were nonfunctional.

Insightful tidbit from N8 wiki page:

> At the time of its launch in November 2010 the Nokia N8 came with the "Comes With Music" service (also branded "Ovi Music Unlimited") in selected markets. In January 2011, Nokia stopped offering the Ovi Music Unlimited service in 27 of the 33 countries where it was offered.

So popular and salvageable what they discontinued the service 3 months after the launch? Should I remind you what Elop's memo was a month later, in February 2011?

You're using a (hopefully not deliberately) very deceptive set of phrasings to make it sounds like the EP or even the Council is in charge. Almost nobody tries to make that argument because it's clearly not the case and that situation is written into the treaties. All this stuff starts and ends with the Commission which is where all the actual decisions get made, the not-really-a-"Parliament" is just along for the ride and asked to rubber-stamp things from time to time. As for the council, it also cannot actually propose changes to EU law. He who makes the law ... makes the law, it's as simple as that.
How about LinkedIn certificates? Last I checked Triplebyte has a certification you can put on your LinkedIn if you do well enough on their process.
Yes, that also annoys me! Especially when it's not even my phone but for example a third party service that is asking me to do something in their interest and not mine. Every time I click on one of those "No, thank you" buttons I mumble to myself a correction of "No, fuck you".

Houses (not the land) tended to depreciate over time (like cars) until the 1970s.
You're not actually providing any value. You're just offsetting the cost and more than likely profiting by doing so. Renting versus owning when it comes to maintenance and repairs functions more like insurance, where you're paying more per month versus paying more upfront in a sort of bet against probability. That's assuming the landlord actually does maintenance or repairs instead of neglecting those issues. Regarding that bet against the cost of upkeep for the shortest term, months, renting's probably the most expensive option. Short term, two to five years, renting's cheapest or can be the cheapest (assuming you don't live in a trailer home or one of those sheds converted into a tiny house). Long term, more than five years, renting's once again the most expensive option. Renting for the renter only makes sense in a very specific context.

Another factor is home owner's insurance. Home owner's insurance is far more likely to cover high cost replacements than renter's insurance, and often is far more comprehensive in coverage. Renter's insurance might only cover up to $50,000 depending on your policy and exclude things like vehicles or special equipment like HAM radios. It also often doesn't cover certain natural disasters like earthquakes or tornadoes, which makes it harder for people in places like Memphis Tennessee to recover after those events.

Providing value, in a broader sense, would be paying a specialist to come in and fix the furnace. Something a modern homeowner would likely do anyways due to either the mechanical complexity, time involved, or level of skill required. That's money going to a dedicated job that's likely from a local business since HVAC and plumbing tend to be trades. The homeowner's upfront expense is more, but ignoring things like regional wealth extraction the local economy is strengthened because of it.
I'm talking about the consumer experience.

The practical upshot is you give your money to AirBnB, it's not coming back, no matter how dreadful an experience you have. You have to go after the host.

The EU can keep chasing the symptoms of the disease pretending it is keeping busy. The vast range of possibilities that can be expressed in software and algorithms will keep throwing such "surprises".

If you really want a healthy "digital society", which is one of the two major stated policy pillars of the EU (the other one being sustainability) you have to create a healthy digital economy, with more informed users, less obfuscation and hype, less oligopolistic, with more independent controllers.
Missing the nuisance between ordinary Phoenix and LiveView, and the comment in general, gives it a vibe that the writer is someone who isn't a practitioner of this ecosystem but rather someone who maybe put one foot in or knows things on a surface level, and having a strong opinion about the ecosystem from such position, resorting even to suggesting people to stay away from it, is not very fair, is it?

I have opinions about the other technology you're writing about (PHP), but I'm not going to go as far as saying don't use it, use this other thing, just because I personally dislike it or might have ran into some problems. It sure as hell is a valid choice for the usecases you mentioned in the comment.

You are correct, LiveView doesn't fix the problems you wrote about, and the criticisms are valid.
If LiveView presents you with problems for the domain you're trying to solve for, you can simply resort to small snippets of JS to fill in the gaps (Alpine.js works really well here).

Of course, nobody expects Phoenix to be a drop in replacement for every usecase and every problem. Of course, you will not be building a meeting application, for instance, in Phoenix or in LiveView because that doesn't make any sense, a JS SPA would be best there.
It is just another tool in the toolbox, with it's own specific usecases and tradeoffs that you have to take into account when considering using it.

For other problems, the framework is extremely conducive to being used and fits the usecase perfectly, writing better shorter code in a smaller timeframe, which is better in every conceivable way.

Also, if we're gonna be pedantic, the deployment issues stem from the fact that Elixir is on the BEAM (Erlang) platform, which has it's own way of doing things, but that doesn't excuse it. The deployment annoyance is still a drawback and a con for Elixir, but being based on Erlang and BEAM is not, quite the opposite actually.

To sum up, Elixir/Erlang/Phoenix/BEAM is it's own alien thing that does require a shift in mindset if you want to use it, and investment into learning the ecosystem, it's workings, rules, habits etc. You're not going to be jumping from JS/PHP to it in a day and expect to be in the same waters as you were before.
But "bad" it is not, and to "pass" on it is to deny yourself an opportunity to broaden your horizons of what is possible and adding another screwdriver for screwing niche technological screws.
> Also, from the same site, the average landlord has 3 properties. That means there are more than 6 million individual landlords in the US.

> You get punished for just looking at it.

Not completely false, but misleading: you get penalized if a lender looks at it with the express purpose of using it to decide whether or not to offer you credit (called a "hard pull"). You looking at your own credit report does not penalize you, and certain other activities (like getting pre-approved for a loan) won't either.

The penalty for hard pulls isn't that bad, anyway, and disappears after a relatively short while. I currently have 7 hard pulls (I've been chasing credit card rewards offers lately), but my overall credit score is still over 800.
Very cool! Although I would love to be proven wrong, I am still suspicious that this is actually a code sample from an existing game it picked up somewhere during training. Seeing how chatgpt struggles with basic logic I would be surprised if it can actually generate a new and workable game of logic.
Once you sell, though, that depreciated value becomes your cost basis for capital gains, and then you get socko'ed with taxes.
Astounding!

We can also have option 4, which is to nullify zoning codes, some fire codes, deeds restrictions, among other things that stop houses from being built. We also need to reduce HOA power at least temporarily, to allow various forms of expansion on the lots in single family homes (there is plenty of land to build a smaller house in most of those). Then we let the market take care of it, perhaps assisted by some small-scale government programs. House prices and rents will fall, which can hopefully put some private equity landholders with leveraged positions under water, forcing them to liquidate the houses. It is inevitable that some individual owners might be hit with this too, but a one time bailout can be offered. This can then trigger a large surplus in housing such that it starts to become more or less affordable again over a few years.
>That we occasionally violate our own stated moral code … does not imply that we are insincere in espousing that code. … No one ever said that it was easy to hew to a strict code of conduct

Interesting point. I think the statement miss an important additional point: it’s hard to come upfront with a rule set that is reality proof. More than the rules, what matter is why the rules was first uttered. To my mind, provided you agree with the underlying spirit, it’s better to break the exact rule and keep its purpose guidance in mind than strictly and blindly apply the literal interpretation of the rule and sap its genius.

I think this is an interesting note at the end, it's clear that the whole "conversation" hasn't been posted, and not clear how many prompts were needed to finish it. A proficient developer would be able to develop this same app to the same level (once they have the idea) in a couple of hours without ChatGPT too.

It would be super interesting to see a full screen recording of the process (or a similar one). What was the total word count of all prompts, how does that compare to the code size?

Don't get me wrong, this is incredible and inspiring (I'm regularly using ChatGPT and Copilot). But I think the post doesn't critically analyse the process well enough.

Again, you are failing to discern between 'covid leaked from a lab' and 'covid was engineered in a lab.'

1. Service providers need users to confirm some policy changes before a deadline, or the account can be frozen.

2. Service providers automatically detected that the user is violating policies, and need to contact to re-activate the account.

3. Service providers update technique requirements or API, making running app failed.
Yeah, they were really interesting machines but there were lots of weird technical choices : the non-PC EPROM that made them incompatible with any other OS than a special release of Windows 2000, the 3.3V PCI slots (at the time incompatible with 95% of available cards), the weird connector for the SGI 1600 screen... making the whole idea of "going Intel to conquer a larger market" moot from the start.

Of course the main crime of the ex-Microsoft boss as the time wasn't that, but selling out most of SGI's IP to Microsoft and nVidia for some quick money.

I still use Airbnb but every time it feels like a massive gamble. They just don't care about customers at all.
Company does rebrand. And right on cue, a bunch of comments saying it's rubbish and unnecessary. Honestly, can't we find anything more interesting to say? Within a few years, this design will be redesigned, and all the same hackneyed criticisms will be rolled out again.

I like that their rebrand is focused on accessibility.
> Compare that to the global state everywhere of signals/reactive/observables-based approaches like MobX or RxJS.

What are you on about? Redux is literally about global state everywhere. But with three to four layers of abstractions between.

You define your state globally. Then use hooks to fetch data from that global state, and then "dispatch" aka call actions on that global state. If something else somewhere else updates data in that global state your component will be affected if it uses that data.

But it also requires you to write an insane amount of useless stuff like "define your store, then reducers, then slices, then god knows what" to arrive at almost the same code:

// redux

import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux'
import { decrement, increment } from './counterSlice'

export function Counter() {
// note how we reach into magical global state that useSelector knows about
const count = useSelector((state: RootState) => state.counter.value)
const dispatch = useDispatch()

return <>
<button onClick={() => dispatch(increment())}>Increment</button>
<span>{count}</span>
<button onClick={() => dispatch(decrement())}>Decrement</button>
</>;
}

// solid

// state is immutable. It's also not magical, you explicitly refrence and import it
//
// increment and decrement would use a `set` function to update the store to required value
// see https://www.solidjs.com/docs/latest/api#createstore
// and https://www.solidjs.com/docs/latest/api#updating-stores
//
import { state, increment, decrement } from './counter-store';

export function Counter() {
return <>
<button onClick={() => increment()}>Increment</button>
<span>{state.count}</span>
<button onClick={() => decrement()}>Decrement</button>
</>;
}

You absolutely don't need a computer to do social scoring. Computers let you take more parameters into account, and do more complex calculations, but you can do basic social scoring by hand, we have been doing that since civilization existed, in a more or less formal way. Traditionally through ancestry (and by extension, race).

And the way we prevent abuse is with anti-discrimination laws, and AI won't change the deals here. If, for example one notices that a company doesn't hire black people even though there are plenty of them applying with suitable qualifications. Regulators could step in and ask what's wrong, and I doubt "that's my AI" will be a satisfactory answer, but neither is "that's Bob".
Doesn't that make it harder to do an apples-to-apples comparison between candidates though?

I just tried it. This was my prompt:

create a terraform template to create a brand new aws account from scratch, and then set up and admin account and two users named alice and bob.

This is what it output:

https://gist.github.com/jedberg/dd31783e13521a69aa8923cb5142...
(which at quick glance looks correct)

It then said: " Note that you will need to have appropriate permissions and credentials to create a new AWS account, and this template assumes that you have those."

So I asked it how to get those permissions and it gave me step by step instructions on creating a new account, adding a payment method, and getting the root keys.

Then I asked it how to run the terraform and it gave me the commands to do it.

So I'd say yes, it can do DevOps too!
