if we made international headlines for every phishing attack, you would feel the same about the tech sector or tangentially "computing" at all.

this was the case in the 90s pretty often.

now we choose to highlight properly run organizations and advances, while largely ignoring the rest. new problems presented by home computing and electronic funds transfer didnt go away.

its more likely the same will happen with crypto assets and industry. when I look at mainstream news like Bloomberg, thats what I see already.

> don't think that would need much retooling rather than a change in risks for banks to manage

In a crisis, it would make the narrow/public bank the natural place to drain deposits. (Similar to our SIFIs today.) As such, narrow banking would mean the end of commercial checking. That means we need to find non-bank providers of all the asset-side services, from lending to trade finance, banks currently provide. That's the re-tooling.
Because if you read the article, you would have been informed that through WASM they did not have access to existing PRNG (e.g. /dev/urandom), and had to roll a mersenne twister. Which should not be used.

It is about implementation, not about WASM
As far as i can see it, we need muscle power, that is not well paid, as it does not scale well. Less software. Software is just fine.
I don't think MS/Logitech boards go far enough even in the split department.

I agree that the split of the Advantage is nicer. However, the MS/Logitech boards do not only split, they also put the halves at an angle, compensating quite a bit for their relatively narrow split. There are some papers that investigate these compromises.

In the end it depends on the amount that you want to spend. A 420 Euro Advantage2 is probably going to be better. But the Microsoft/Logitech/Alice boards are a good compromise if you do not want to spend more than 100-200 Euro on a keyboard. Though at the 200 price point it's probably better to stretch it a little and get something split and tented like the Freestyle Edge, which sometimes goes for 200 + 30 for the tenting set from some vendors.

(Sometimes you get lucky, I found a mint Keyboardio Model 100 on a local marketplace for 150 Euro with the octo feet. It's over 500 Euro after VAT and shipping when you import it to The Netherlands.)
They got lucky. There have been many people who even tried to responsibly report a bug, and were treated as if they were misusing the resource.

This is not just an education thing. Remember recently when there was a St. Louis reporter who found a glaring privacy violation in a Missouri state website (in that the website for whatever reason included people's SSN in the clear, but commented out. That reporter was initially treated as if they'd hacked the website and the governor of Missouri publicly spoke and said as much. Fortunately they weren't prosecuted, but even after prosecutors declined to do so, the governor still publicly called the reporter a "hacker".
Parkinson’s does not prevent any of those.
Here's a sub-reddit that does something like the thread your talking about:

Big software companies consciously abuse the word "cloud" to describe conventional software sold by subscription (most of Adobe's Creative "Cloud".)

What Microsoft is dominating is the market for game subscription services and they, as part of the industry, are not clearly articulating what it is, partly to ride along with the bullshit (When VR and AR got replaced with XR I'm sure that Dilbert's boss was asking "What's our XR strategy?")
No, Russia has a very limited stock of PGMs and is only able to manufacture new ones at a limited rate.
Not that it mattered by that point but TOS 3 for the TT did? For what, I don't know, really. Maybe people running Calamus or something could use it?

I think Atari Corp had a burst of engineering competence at the end after Tramiel Sr handed over the reigns to his sons. But it was too late, the market moved on.

The Falcon is a lovely machine. The last TOS releases addressed some longstanding problems. Hiring Eric Smith to work on TOS/MuliTOS was a good, but late effort. Porting SystemV and trying to make a budget Unix workstation was a doomed but clever effort (I still remember the UnixWorld news clip box headline "Up from toyland").

I bought a 486 late 1992, put Linux 0.97 on it, and moved on.
Money is fundamentally community based. It is based on exchange with your neighbors and colleagues and peers and anyone you do business with. You’re not getting away from the entity representing that community from exerting some control over it.

Precious materials like gold are probably the best you can get as the material itself has some value.

Which, notably, is not made accessible via URL—at least not a "first-class" URL by the author/publisher; if you want to refer someone to the contents of a specific passage—or the entire book, even—then your best bet is with something like OpenLibrary, which has made it accessible in a fairly messy and roundabout way. Not a great endorsement for the vision of the Web as it was intended (vs how it is actually used).
It's a pretty standard feature here in Europe. In any case, if you've locked the doors from the outside, there should be no reason for the internal handles or unlock switches to be operational.
Sony doesn’t have anything close to the scale of Azure and they don’t have the rest of the business model as a backstop to cover the cost of their gaming services.

Google doesn’t have a major gaming brand like Xbox and doesn’t own any publishers - Microsoft has Microsoft Studios and Zenimax already.

NVIDIA same thing they have the hardware business on their side but they don’t have a cloud like Azure, GCP or AWS nor do they have gaming IP in their pocket.

Again the issue is you are looking at this problem from the perspective of today and by taking into account only individual elements.

What the CMA is looking at is Xbox Brand + 70% of the current market + 2nd largest CSP with datacenters all over the globe and the ability to share the cost across other profitable offerings + Being the 3rd largest publisher and owning a fuck ton of gaming IP.

Now extrapolate 5, 10 and 20 years down from that staring point.

And remember you can always make an argument what if Google or NVIDIA invest every last cent they have to give Microsoft a run for their money but you can also make a counter argument what if Microsoft does the same.

In that case Microsoft still is in a far better position because of their current position in the market.

But when you extrapolate more realistically based on existing business models and ventures as well as the actual cost of developing these services further Microsoft is in a very strong position already and possibly the strongest of all players. Making them even stronger is exactly what regulators like the CMA are here to prevent.

>public parks, public litter bins, public roads
These examples are permanent things, that only need to be maintained, and it's easier to just let the government handle them instead of letting the individual pay or having a subscription model or something alike.
Also: all the public goods you mentioned cannot be managed by any single individual, that's why they are in the public hand, but it only goes so far as your activity is in "public range".
You can't pave your own roads, you can't carry a trash can with you wherever you go and you can't play football in your house. That's why the government gives you roads, parks and trash cans. But: it is not allowed to put your house trash into a public bin. Or have a barbecue in the public park, or block the roads for a protest.

I think using the train is more like using the car. I can agree that the tracks are a public good, but actually using the train is clearly different from that.
Just like the government provides me roads, but not with rides.

> I don't think I've ever seen planes classified as public transport
I guess my framework fits that, because while you may need to maintain the air and the airport, the individual flights only help the individual person.
I imagine this should be possible with a very small connector addon that calls out to a secure wallet running on the desktop as a native application.

This requires some careful consideration to prevent phishing and other nastiness, but a native application could use native window prompts and techniques such as Windows Hello/TouchID as an authentication technique that's hard to spoof.

The complexity and risks are still there but you can hide away the important secrets much better with a native application than a browser extension ever could. It would also allow access to better sources of randomness and all kinds of sandboxing and exploit protection that aren't available with WASM.
I've found that the best "split" keyboard is simply to use two decent keyboards on the same computer. When I am in a situation where I'm doing tons of typing (not that often anymore) I'll have the two keyboards a bit more than a body width apart. Unfortunately macos doesn't apply modifier keys (shift / meta / ctl) from one device to the other (IE if I press left shift on the left keyboard I don't get a capital L if I press it on the right keyboard). Windows did this just fine.

For just general sysadmining around, one keyboard's been fine for me. Frequent breaks, standing up and moving, etc, have much more of an impact on fatigue than the quality of the keyboard. That said, I've found that the 1990s model M4-1 to be an absolutely spectacular keyboard.

> It gave one an understanding of what was inside a finished product and how it worked, because it would include a theory of operation.

My Dad would get Heathkit and I would build them. I even built 3 H-151 (IBM compatible) computers. My soldering skills were pretty good. But I didn't understand how they worked - I just followed the instructions.

When I was a kid, around 5 years old, back in 1976, we got our first home game console. It was a Heathkit Pong clone, with variants for a couple related games, including duck hunt.

A few years back I read https://pong-story.com/heathkit.htm which told me that my Dad must have had a Heathkit TV back then:

> First, it requires a Heathkit TV set to operate because of its composite output. Back in 1976, only monitors and hi-tech equipment had a composite input. To use this system, the user had to open his TV set in order to connect a few wires to its electronic circuits. This is the case with the Heathkit TV sets: the user manual explains how to connect the system to several TV sets released by Heathkit. The system has another interesting feature: the sound does not come from the system itself like most of the other PONG consoles, but comes from the TV set
I think it depends on how tabs are implemented; browser tabs are temporary hold spaces for me, further context within a workspace that I'm exploring. Maybe it's separate research pages for a specific topic, some scratch space, etc.

Real browser tabs I like because if something ends up becoming a new main focus, I drag it to its own window and now it becomes its own workspace with its satellites tacked onto the window as tabs. I can close/re-open them pretty fast with browser history, and it becomes very easy for me to quickly jump in/out of mental work spaces.

However, what I cannot stand are non-browser native tabs that are becoming (?) standard in most web apps. It is very restricting in my opinion and defeats the point of tabs, and instead ends up cluttering the space far too much. The big CRMs are a perfect example of this as it slows down everything so much for me as everything is trapped in a single window, it's very difficult to isolate or preserve tabs, and you lose access to the history.

Terminal on MacOS introduced tabs some time ago and the paradigm still doesn't sit right with me. More or less it's unobtrusive enough (and I enjoy that Apple at least preserves certain accessibility options while shuffling tabs around), but I just can't quite get to the same head-space with Terminal as I can with browsers, probably because CLI is much more concise by nature and has some already pretty good systems in place for multitasking from a single window.
This looks like exactly what I was looking for!

I'm purely on Linux and my OG SteamDeck hardware (which has officially not had an software update in years) doesn't seem to want to connect anymore to the latest Steam client version.
It's not pittance - it's a thank you. No one is required to tip.

Personally I enjoy tipping, especially if the service is really good, and especially at places like Waffle House where my tip will often exceed the bill because the food is so inexpensive.
You are a subscriber to cloud gaming if you have GamePass, but I don’t think many actually use it, so to say they have such a huge advantage is an argument in either ignorance or bad faith.
Prices were so heavily subsidized they were ruining the government's finances, so that's not a valid metric to compare on because it wasn't sustainable. Even when being bailed out by massive amounts of tax (a regressive tax!), ridership was falling because the services sucked so hard that they couldn't compete with cars/trucks, despite the latter being a source of tax revenue, not a sink.

Dunno about satisfaction but clearly, when people were truly dissatisfied they stayed away and now the primary causes of satisfaction and reliability problems are simply that the network is so in demand it's at capacity all the time, especially London commuter routers. Some of that is driven by the huge increases in population via immigration in the last 20 years but some of it is just that privatized services are better, so people use them more.
Yes, let's just ignore the people losing jobs and falling victim to AI-generated large-scale disinformation!

I've played over 500 games on chesscom in the last year at between 700-1050 rating. Its hard to point out a cheater but sometimes you just get a hunch, then on review of the game, they blundered twice in the first dozen moves then the game shifts dramatically. Early game rated 600, mid 1500+.

Whats more common is cheesy tactics. Kid will go on YT and watch a video about some cheeky opening and mimic that. Things like early queen pushes. Once you punish it, they crumble. So you get these players that have inflated ELO. If they can't do the one opening they know, they simply don't know the general tactics.

Then there are the smurfs. They don't last long at low rating but these people are the worst. They exist in any online game.

The Fed and Gov already have stuff like this (TreasuryDirect), and like some fintech are just thin UX wrappers around ugly consumer bank interfaces or even I-bonds, you could have the same with these accounts.

There is no profit motive and it’s a very technically simple offering that the Fed already supports or will soon support with FedNow: I have a table of people and balances, and I only support transactions between the two.

If a bank can’t figure out how to compete with 0% interest with no value add to attract deposits, IMO they shouldn’t exist.

>more European model that's more automated and less dependent on replaceable super-cheap labor

You see plenty of fairly obviously immigrants cleaning hotel rooms in Europe.

To some degree, higher labor costs can also drive efficiencies with no real harm to consumers. I'm perfectly fine with (and may even prefer) a weekly "serviced apartment" sort of hotel model rather than daily room cleanings which invariably happen when I'm on a call or something.
> In particular, Dex does not force you to rewrite all operations in terms of batched tensor interactions, but allows for a range of interactions. Put more simply, when learning MATLAB students are told repeatedly to "avoid for loops". Dex gives for loops back.

This part is interesting, and one thing that would set Dex apart from other array languages. One of the things that imperative programmers find difficult when writing in array languages is thinking in terms of transformations on collections and sets, rather than managing a single item, and using control flow to handle multiple (loops usually). It seems like Dex is saying they will compile for loops to array operations, so that maybe it's easier for imperative programmers.

I have to wonder though... why? I mean, they point out that Matlab users are often told to avoid writing loops, but Matlab has certainly never forced anyone to write their code in batched tensor operations; for loops exist but they are sometimes slower than the built-in matrix operations. I say sometimes, because while it's been true in the past that for loops have been slower, I've found in recent iterations of the language that they are doing something to make them much faster -- whether that be JITing the code or something else, I'm not sure.

Anyway, I really wish this document would have given an example where what they are proposing is better than what you can do with arrays. In all of their examples, I would reach for a proper array language. For instance, they show this code:

:t for i:Height. for j:Width. x[i, j] + 5.0
((Fin 3) => (Fin 8) => Float32)

In Matlab, this is just

x + 5

which has always been the whole appeal of array languages (to me at least). So I don't see what bringing for loops back is buying us, unless they are a kind of gateway for imperative programmers.

I'll have to look more at this document, as I find the typed indexing intriguing, but I'm not sure what to make of it yet.
UV is more than UV, there is UVA UVB UVC, etc.
