Right, but it's very hard to overcome the inertia of an established standard.

(JDBC isn't actually in the standard library IIRC but it's a JSR, so it's an "official" part of the platform and that creates a lot of pressure to follow that)
Rust is not a particular good replacement for C. I think Rust fans are headed for disappointment if they really think that.
This is really cool but I would have targeted a 286 or 386 with EGA or VGA, not 8088 with CGA. The display used can do a lot more than that anyway and the 386 actually came in a smaller package.
Ultimately, I think we will never know because funding for the project was pulled and the building demolished. Besides, Tesla made significant nonintuitive advances in his fields which does not make it easy to dismiss his ideas.
Its the other plugin that has the authentication token to the emails (it's part of setup if you use certain plugins).

Are you American? Have you lived abroad? Here in Thailand (a "poor" "third-world" country) all individuals and businesses can send instant money transfers with no fees at all 24/7. It's an incredible system. I think the truth is that it has less to do with corruption and more to do with the fact that people who implement technology first end up later with, on average, worse technology. (If you build the first rail system in the world you'll have the worst rail system in 50 years.)
> Bans should not be for all products for life. Please reconsider this approach, adding a navigation bar to a mobile app should not result in someone being unable to monetise free educational content they produce on Youtube.Likewise if I had received a developer account ban, my personal account would have been banned by association removing all access to other apps which use Google SSO. That is also a grossly unfair practice which could be improved upon.

This might be by design - if you have a small amount of buses and drivers, then to service a given area one has to have a small amount of long routes. If there was more money to go around, there could be more drivers, more buses , ability to have more routes, maybe even enough to have a hub and spoke system of routes, maybe even some long “useless” long loop routes too. But since bus services are operated like a business, they often don’t get to expand far enough to be really useful because there isn’t enough demand with the bad routing model to accrue enough capital to grow into usefulness.
Miles just allow airlines to transfer portion of business expense for personal use.
Oh yea those TSA lines and cramped boarding gates and the endless cramped narrowbody planes that take forever to board and deboard. Doing the same route over and over and over again.

At this time (late 2000s, early 2010s) you could purchase open jaw fares (say ORD-NRT-CGK/CGK-NRT-STL) and between the open jaw/double open jaw and sometimes a fuel dump, get an economy ticket for less than $400. I would generate typically 40k-50k+ miles at a time, meaning I was getting essentially a free economy round trip between US and Europe for every flight.

So basically I was pocketing a minimum of a few hundred bucks in profit per flight and visiting quite a few SE Asian locations, even if it was 8/10/14 hours at a time. I’d work on the flights and I saved up enough miles to have visited over 100 countries by the time I finished university at 23.

EDIT: This is still possible to do but much more difficult now that most US carriers only give mileage based earnings for their partner flights. The golden days of this arbitrage are long gone.
They still would have to _license_ Half Life: Alyx (a Steam exclusive designed for the Valve Index) or Beat Saber (by Meta-owned Beat Games).

> It's the reason gaming on Mac died

Some gaming on Mac died because they are pinched by consoles on one side and custom-built gaming rigs on the other. The majority of their sold systems are battery-powered, and your first chance at a GPU power envelope of even 150W is the Mac Pro. Which, coincidentally, is also the only Mac left that has a dGPU option.

The real question is why so few developers take the effort to build and support their iOS games for iPadOS and macOS.
We had to do this at Polyvore (a fashion e-commerce site) to extract dominant colors from products.

To create the palette, we took 10k random product images from our catalog, cropped them to the center 1/3, and stitched them into a single image collage. Then we used imagemagick to quantize it to 64 colors to produce our palette.

The extract colors for a given image, we’d crop to center, quantize using the above palette and then run the histogram.

Had this Twilight Zone-like dream that all our visions of the future which include a screen are utterly wrong, Sci-Fi included.

It's somewhat hard to argue that the Command-Line Interface is better overall than the Graphical User Interface, look at Apple, they made $2.75 trillion for themselves from the GUI. But with large language models now the easiness and even the beauty falls back into the CLI, a simple blank screen with a blinking prompt awaiting your commands, and maybe we could remove the screens altogether. Why do I have to write this message while staring into, funnily, an Apple screen, when I could be drinking my coffee admiring the city skyline and the mountains nearby while whispering gently the words into the wind. Why must I know that for whatever need that I have from a software product, I must press some menu button, then 3 drop downs down, select some weirdly named options, and then go back and drag and drop some asset into the window: just do the thing already, I don't care about your software-y details. The GUI might be dying, perhaps we should strive to kill it.

I just double checked as a new customer - you're right that it's 60 usd/m but it goes down to 50/m if you autopay using a debit card (strange Verizon artifact - but annoying). Edit: I've been a customer for a year and while the early months were rough wrt. reliability (1), it is now pretty rock solid in my area and I typically get close to 300mb/s though I don't game so I'm not sure how it is with that.

1: so rough that I wrote a script that power cycled the modem every time it disconnected, since that was faster than waiting for it to recover. I haven't used that scheme for months now though since it was no longer necessary.
"Soros reminds me of Magneto" => All the proof I need. Please check out my eviscerating vice/substack article: Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur and CEO of SpaceX, has expressed interest in the possibility of mining emeralds on Mars in the future. While no concrete plans or actions have been taken yet, Musk's vision stems from the idea of utilizing the resources available on Mars to sustain human colonization efforts. As Mars is known to have mineral deposits, including beryl, which can yield emeralds, Musk envisions the potential for resource extraction as part of long-term plans for self-sufficiency on the red planet. However, it's important to note that any such mining operations on Mars are still purely speculative and would require significant technological advancements and infrastructure development before becoming a reality.
That should not be outlawed. The merchant is getting 1-2% less, and so they should be able to charge 1-2% more. Using a credit card at my shop is not a fundamental human right. It's much more arguable that I have the right to choose my pricing though. If you want to pay in gold I'd charge a fee for that also.

It depends on what features of BASH that you want to use. If you target v3 (as I usually do), then that or a newer version will likely be already installed. There's very little issue with backwards compatibility.
This is a great example of NYT's bias against tech[1], because they somehow interpreted the (IMO very reasonable) court's decision[2] that the "aiding and abetting" terrorism requires specific intent. I quote the relevant sections from the ruling:

> The phrase “aids and abets, by knowingly providing substantial assistance” points to the elements and factors articulated by Halberstam. Those elements and factors should not be taken as inflexible codes but should be understood in light of the common law and applied as a framework designed to hold defendants liable when they consciously and culpably “participate[d] in” a tortious act in such a way as to help “make it succeed.”

> Defendants’ mere creation of their media platforms is no more culpable than the creation of email, cell phones, or the internet generally. And defendants’ recommendation algorithms are merely part of the infrastructure through which all the content on their platforms is filtered. Moreover, the algorithms have been presented as agnostic as to the nature of the content. At bottom, the allegations here rest less on affirmative misconduct and more on passive nonfeasance. To impose aiding-and-abetting liability for passive nonfeasance, plaintiffs must make a strong showing of assistance and scienter. Plaintiffs fail to do so.

On ‘The Blog Era,’ Resurrecting Rap Media History
Sorry for my naivety, but how does a company keep memory of the processes and oral knowledge if they don’t own the factory? Is everything specified enough in requirement documents and process sheets that “factory providers” have a clear guide to implement their factory?

And does that really save on CapEx given that Apple funds the construction anyway and secrecy is absolute as well?
Agreed. Wrapping all db access in its own class or module is one of the easiest architectural decisions to be made in a project. Allows you to use specific drivers but isolates changes to a few easily found locations. Makes it dead simple to test too.
They were living rent free. So they'd have had to find a room for $559 near Cal. That was hard in 2005.

What about theory versus experiment? Did you have any problems with that, or did you do both as easily? I notice on your publication list that they are very interspersed.

Garwin:
Well, there is not much theory there, only minor theories. No, I'm an experimenter. The way to be an experimenter is to be able to design an experiment, to see in your mind by analysis how things are going to work. So there's a lot of what would be called theory or anyhow applied physics, applied mathematics, in the design of experiments. From that point of view, I have quite a good theoretical competence, but not from the point of view of pure theory, of field theories or of inventing new theoretical approaches.
> Imagine building a house, but not having control over who enters it. Same idea.

It's not quite the same idea. When you build a house for yourself, the implicit assumption is that you can't use it the same way if there's someone else in there. Put in a crowd and it's unuseable. On the other hand, multiple people can use a creative work simultaneously without noticing each other. If anything, it can make the experience richer.

Your simile holds if you're not creating something with the goal of extracting value from using it, but with the goal of extracting money from others for using it.

Which leads me to the conclusion that abolishing copyright would stop people creating things for sale (second scenario), but would not influence those who create for its own sake (first sccenario).

He was indeed gifted with insane sensitivity to his senses. However, he describes his visualization process as somewhat learned, like a brain exercise.

In the beginning, he described, images in his mind would be blurred but after "practice", they became much sharper.
> Apple Arcade is a good start, but it still doesn’t convince me that they’re serious about catering to anyone beyond casual gamers

To be fair, a huge portion of the gaming market is casual gamers, and Apple does incredibly well there on iPhone.

Apple isn't going to make a huge dent in the console market because games have to be restructured to deal with touch controls vs controllers, and to have a revenue model that doesn't start out with a $60 purchase. For all the power of an iPhone, it also still lags a generation behind in graphics performance (because batteries, size, and heat)

There isn't a PC gaming rig market that Apple would make a dent in either. The baseline price of a modular Mac that could have a top-of-line dGPU is too high, and they won't sell enough of them to convince developers to port and support their titles.
I doubt an in-house model will be able to get enough training data. I doubt public domain data plus their own personal copyrighted stuff is remotely sufficient.

This is how cooperations die, their custodians focus more of abracts things like cashflow.

Sometimes I wonder, and then I look and see that people vastly underreport how dense/urban the areas they live in are and I feel that maybe many of the people claiming to feel so different are not being sincere.
Not at all! You can improve like any other faculty of the mind! Even Tesla described that initially the images he would see would be a big blur but after "practice" they became significantly sharper. He could then even visualize motion of objects.
Cool. I WFH and so does my wife so I get to spend more time with my favorite person. My kids' school is a very short drive so I get to see them 5 minutes after I get off work. I guess I no longer get the appeal of going out after work with young people.
There has to be another way of distributing apps for android and apple phones that doesnt use the play store (or whatever apple uses)
Thank you! I just started with bevy this week, and it's a bit overwhelming, but in a weird and mostly good way. The way components and systems work is fucking magic, the kind of stuff you'd expect of Rails or Django, but not in a real-time framework in a systems programming language.

The good is that whole applications can be written in just a handful of mostly declarative code, which is absolutely amazing! The bad is that with all the magic being handled by macros and back-end event processing loops, it can be a little intimidating and not obvious how it is constructed under the hood. I would love to see a class diagram showing both the extant objects and their types, and the control flow during a frame update.

But anyway, thank you for all your hard work and for the response. Now I know where to go first in the source code to do what I need to do.

> If you want to build a wgpu-based renderer, you have a couple of options depending on what kind of rendering you need. You can plug in your own custom renderer instead of bevy_pbr using bevy_core_pipeline. You can still use bevy_pbr and just add your own render nodes on top of it.

I actually have my own wgpu-based renderer done (https://github.com/atomCAD/atomCAD/), so maybe that's the first thing to try. Thanks!

How could be anything other than new... It's Rust. It's not going to be from 1975 because it can't be.
The world you described exists, and it’s called Alipay (in China), TNG (in Malaysia), Pix (Brazil), etc (that's why I listed them in my original comment). Alipay and Wechatpay is the standard in China, a country with a population triple that of the US, and only charges 55-60bps, a quarter that of the US. So yes, I do believe that we can gain efficiency by switching.

Also note that interchange is capped in the EU at 30bps, and they seem to do just fine without 2% cashback on every purchase. One might start to think that we can do with something similar here in the US.
Not really. If you rent, letting you lease expire is cheaper. If you own it outright, you'll pay less in upkeep for an unused building and less in property taxes. If you borrowed money and are under water, you can walk away and save money. The only companies who care are ones who were already thinking about selling the real estate. And commercial real estate companies.

Spotify leases floors in 4 WTC until the end of the decade, so it's a sunk cost. They're paying regardless, but it's cheaper if it's vacant since there's less janitorial work, electric, etc.

For all practical purposes it's true. You'll get higher delays in fiber optics than in, say, radio-relay links. The details of matter-photon interaction are interesting, of course.

Ha for some reason I thought this more as a feature, less as a bug
"Shell scripts are great at tricking you into believing you've got something 100% working"

Exactly. Shell scripting is basically a non-hygenic macro language, with very complex semantics around its primary data type, the string. It also lacks pretty much all of the affordances we use to write reliable programs. I have no doubt someone has written a typechecker or unit test framework for bash, but I've never seen one used. I'll take the ugly code with the straightforward semantics, thanks.
It's nice to see the cost of credit card processing being limited to credit card users, instead of everybody having to pay it through increased baseline prices with some "premium" credit card holders getting it back through "rebates".
I see a few OSes on here, but does it work with BSD? I would imagine FreeBSD support would be desired for routers and such.
It does but this performance drop is most likely fixable so there is hope.
Great question! We segment memory based on "bud" - essentially an agent that remembers data across conversations. When you upload a document, it gets added to the same vector store, allowing each bud to remember things over time.

To be candid, remembering every message in a conversation isn't actually that useful, so by default we don't (search is an exception), and instead rely on a method that extracts the "novel" information for use later.

Happy to set you up with an account, email in profile.
yup it would be logical thing to build so no way California will do that.

Boeing recruited at Caltech, so while whether I actually received the degree or not never came up with them, I suppose it did matter for that particular first job.

However, there were several other positions at the time I could have gotten without without the degree. (I had worked with tech shops in the area, and some of my friends were creating startups.)

Also, while at Boeing, I was invited to join the Stress team, and the offer included waiving the requirement of a Master's Degree.

Microsoft declined to interview me because I didn't have a CS degree. Missed out on a few $billions there :-)
> It turned out later google (and other big tech incl twitter) were trying to suppress anything about covid, until the narrative shifted March that year

From the emails you posted, it seems like big tech sites had general policies about people capitalizing on disaster situations and they spelled that out clearly? Obviously, things eventually changed and Covid19 apps/trackers were deemed to not fall under that rule, but it seems a bit much to jump from that to "trying to suppress anything about covid".

For reference, text from one of the emails:

>Specifically, we don't allow apps that lack reasonable sensitivity towards or capitalize on a natural disaster, atrocity, conflict, death, or other tragic event.
