Well, no, it's a behavioral finding.

There is nothing on the market structure stopping consolidating companies to commercialize new tech by themselves. In fact, if you take a naive view of the market, the consolidated companies are the ones with all the structure needed for it, while startups have all kinds of obstacles to get a foot on the door.

This is a well known fact, found again and again by several studies. But it is not obvious in any way.

I'm especially impressed by how it handles the local and express routes: North Brooklyn is only about 15 minutes door-to-door from Lower Manhattan on the Fulton Line[1] express A train, and the map correctly shows that. Nice work!

Call me cynical, but I didn't find this recent wave of startups to be innovative. It was defined by a systemic deployment of playbook tactics, copying what worked elsewhere. Nothing new, just trying to capture industries/value. Perhaps with the deterioration of venture capital infrastructure we will see more innovation – that is wholly new solutions and paradigms.

I also think it is worth pointing out that historically (not recently) a lot of startups began not in order to make money but to provide real value to humans/society. I like to remind people that it is easier to make money when you first build something that people value than to build something that people value once you've made money.

I disagree.

As opposed to most compiler articles, this one actually covers code generation for every section of its chapters, which is really great.

I also like that every chapter focuses on a specific feature and describes how to implement it end to end: lexical/syntactic parsing, AST, and x86_64 generation.

Yep. Back in the day, Outlook Web Access (OWA) in Exchange used to check to see if you were on IE and block if you were on any chrome browser, and then (mostly) work fine if you just spoofed user agent, leading to things like owa-user-agent. Same story, different day.

Google and Apple exert unbelievable levels of control over the entire Internet simply with their two app stores, even forcing various social media to censor legal speech.
This comment feels like it barely makes sense, both of these are hypercapital companies who distort local markets big time. My local music scene is butting right up against LiveNation/ClearChannel and it definitely affects musicians and promoters in my city to the point that these venues will shamelessly rip off events that have their own following. Needless to say there are not enough people to go to both and so the local promoter who is often running at a very thin margin ends up having to stop.

Of course, I digress, but this capitalist law of the jungle model applies in many places.

This is something I know a little about. Back in 2005/06 I asked Google who was doing non-destructive scanning of their books as I needed to scan our back issues to 1948 and no one would let me cut up bound volumes. They put me in touch with Kirtas Technologies that did the job for something like $20K and took two weeks (about 70 volumes). It's a lot cheaper now and the scanning quality is significantly better but the big headache is indexing.

Since then I've been collecting spare issues of the magazine and last year sent a decade's worth off to be destructively scanned for about $6K. The quality is significantly better than the originals (and they have to do clean up as part of the process).

I point this out to show what a challenging job is being attempted here and how really there is value and hard work in digitizing archives so there really shouldn't be an expectation of old stuff being 'free'.

I mean, the value probably wasn't in its potential to make pizza. Any more than Boston Dynamics' value is in its potential to make robot dogs play fetch. Pre-IPO valuation is almost always about what else you could hypothetically pivot into doing, given the tech (and competencies) you've built up.

One step further: startups know this, and VCs know that startups know this. So when you see a startup "making a pizza robot", they're probably not actually "making a pizza robot." That "business model" is really just an early proof-of-concept milestone to aim for while building up tech (and competencies) that can address much more interesting markets. And if you're a VC, they'll tell you as much in their pitch deck. Though they won't ever mention that in any of their marketing. Since, what if the pizza-robot thing does take off? May as well keep it around as a vertical for their tech, in that case.

I've been using https://exist.io/ for years. It can automatically sync a bunch of info from Apple Health and other providers, but also allows you to create custom data fields and manually enter data. It generates graphs and helps to find trends and correlations.
Also it's quite unfortunate that bots can easily use the same interfaces designed for screen readers, so just using a slightly-standardized REST API or plain-old HTML can expose you to bot attacks (ddos, spam, etc) once you reach a certain size.

not really. nothing at all is stopping one from starting a new social network that's federated. the issue is users have no reason to move.

If on a new page those new comments would get downvoted to oblivion. If on an older page they'd be partially identifiable by dint of being on an older page.

But sure, things could be done to make this more difficult. It's probably not worthwhile on Reddit's part to do anything to stop this, just as it hasn't been too worthwhile for websites to evade ad blockers. The number of people who mass delete is just too small to matter.

If I worked at Reddit and wanted to do something about it though (and was a programmer), I'd add an option under individual deleted comments for viewers to click to view the comment (and any versions). And possibly add an option for viewers to restore a version entirely. This would save helpful comments, at least until some jerk decided to automate the process and restore everything. So maybe the complete restoration is a bad idea.

> Jefferson had planted opium poppies in his medicinal garden, and opium poppies are now deemed illegal

Growing with the intent to produce opium is illegal. By continuing his tradition in the museum, it was deemed a continuation of production for drugs and so probably came under scrutiny. I'm sure they could regrow a garden for decorative purposes if they actually did that and were clear about it.
It has nothing to do with being "perfect". Archiving billions of Reddit posts isn't free or necessarily of enough value to be worthwhile in my opinion.

> Everyone can't be competent at and focused on everything, but that seems to be what you're asking.

No, they're not that incompetent. People are as generally competent as what is demanded of them by their motivation. If the Archive Team, instead of blanketly archiving stuff off Reddit, devoted that effort to releasing archiving tools that make it simple for a 90+ IQ person to back up a Reddit community, that would be more worthwhile and far less wasteful. It would even potentially make communities less dependent on Reddit no matter the outcome of the recent controversy.

> No, it does not.

How so? Scraping old.reddit.com is not hard. Even snapshotting whole pages of the new Reddit can be done if that becomes the only alternative. Given enough motivation to archive valuable information, even a junior developer could do it. If a community is valuable enough, someone will archive it. People don't devote effort to things they don't find valuable.
There is no reason to be worried about Apple monopolizing the market. They've never been interested in anything but the luxury segment, and meta is going the other direction.

One of the things I really like about the new Zelda game is that, while it has quest markers and all that for many of the quests (but not all! Some will just mark where you need to return when it's done, and the rest is up to you!) you also get lots and lots of hints about locations of interesting or valuable non-quest things, and those are purely up to you to pursue, based on what you've been told. Not even a quest entry, just something you can do if you want to.

As a reminder, all the SE sites have content under a Creative Commons, By Attribution, Share Alike license, allowing for, among other things, commercial re-use [0] [1].

Yes, it sucks that the SE sites are getting more draconian about allowing access to their content but the SE sites are well insulated against it completely disappearing precisely because they're under a libre/free license. Note that Reddit [2], nor HN I might add [3], have any such licensing terms that allow for commercial reuse.

Decentralization might be a viable option in the future, but for right now, centralized sites are the norm and the way to protect against the content from disappearing is to put it under libre/free licensing. Note that Wikipedia is centralized and it would certainly be a tragedy if they became more draconian about sharing their data but the content itself is and will be available to the general public, effectively the "commons", because of the licensing terms.

To me, this is yet another reminder of why we need to future proof with libre/free/open licensing terms. Or reform copyright, but I don't see that happening within my lifetime.

If you aren't the CEO, or have a direct line of influence to him, this issue can't be resolved. Your company didn't technically solution itself into this problem, and it won't technically solution itself out of this problem.

It requires painful, swift decisions and a massive culture shift. I would bet you have a CIO(or similar title) who owns the legacy stuff and a CTO where shadow IT lives. One of those people needs to report to the other and if that is the case today, one needs to go (which is likely the case regardless).

5 amps is the highest current official USB cables will carry, and 48V is the highest voltage you can generally use as anything more is not considered intrinsically safe to handle -- it's the maximum "low voltage"

In both cases, I've been paying considerably less for USB-C (cables and chargers combined) than for proprietary replacement chargers.

My favorite thing about USB-C charging is that (at least Macbooks) it works even with lowly 5W chargers in a pinch! Sure, it takes more to fully charge a laptop that way – but I can sustain my Macbook Pro's charge with an 18W phone charger on an airplane no problem.
