Voltage converter was the part, by no means military specific. China is the world's No1 manufacturer and it would be hugely surprising if parts do not find their way into military equipment, worldwide. I believe even USAF has China made parts. I suppose we can wait for the WSJ to run a headline about that too

I work at a company trying to get more people into our app. The logic is completely flawed: "we want more engagement, app users show more engagement than web users, so if we get more users from web into the apps we'll get more engagement". It's obviously completely flawed but the product people and analytics department don't seem to get it.

At least we aren't doing hostile stuff to get people into the apps, yet.
Most parts of smartphone hardware have stopped meaningfully improving, but the cameras are still improving pretty rapidly year-over-year. If you value taking nice pictures with your smartphone it makes sense to upgrade regularly.
Touché, perhaps.

On thinking about this more. I wonder what wisdom is. If it is something in the mind like a feeling that is difficult to express. Sometimes then it is expressed in some 'wu-wu' type terms. It seem ethereal. And what models, frameworks, etc... are doing, is to try and get wisdom out of the head and onto paper. And perhaps then it is easier to share the wisdom, if it can be boiled down to simpler terms. This boiling down of concepts, lumping, is done in all other fields, it is just very difficult in History so maybe there are far more misses, than hits.
There are lots of good options if your house is bigger than you need. Where I live in Bath, UK it's common to turn a floor of a large house into a self-contained flat. Also there's the option of renting a room to a lodger.

I'm fine with that. Massive popularity is a poison pill.
The debate is sort of obsolete really.

* Linux has microkernel-like functionalities like FUSE. You can do filesystems in userspace now.

* The modern approach to High Availability is to have redundant hardware. A single machine being fault tolerant isn't that important anymore.

* Hardware became far more complex. A modern video card or anything else is its own computer, with a very uncomfortable amount of state and access to the host. If your video card driver does something wrong and crashes it's by no means a given that the situation is recoverable by rebooting the driver -- the video card itself may be left in some weird state.

* Software is also far more complex. Great, your system theoretically can survive a video card driver dying. Too bad the compositor can't survive that, and the applications can't survive the compositor crashing, and at that point you might as well reboot anyway.

* Modern testing and debugging is excellent and having a system kernel panic is something that happens very, very rarely. It's not really worthwhile to change the system architecture for the sake of something than happens less often than I accidentally unplug my desktop's power cable.

* For HURD specifically, if you're in need of extreme reliability today, C is probably not something you want to use. Rather than dealing with stuff crashing you probably want to write code doesn't suffer from such issues to start with.
Partially it's the dramas, but for me it's that people get the idea that U.S law is the way the law works in their country, it's very tiring when the subject is a complicated one - for example every time there is copyright discussion, the perception seems to be that the purpose of copyright is "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts" because that is the American (and I guess also English) purpose.

The origin 100% does matter. It demonstrates that some kinds of virus research pose an existential threat to humanity if not handled properly. That seems relevant, especially when simultaneously Covid demonstrated that such research is also really important to do. Like the origin actually does pose some serious, non-trivial ethical questions about disease research that the public absolutely has a right and obligation to participate in.
Just watch hiw rhis will change. It's clear now that russian military is garbage (mostly).
I mostly agree that "the world is better than ever", but the supporting points in this article seem to be that "capitalism is great" and "climate change isn't happening".

What I was really hoping to see in this opinion piece is some deeper way to square this with the Christian worldview. My conservative Christian family believes the world is getting worse, and actively support the destruction of Earth and all its life so that "Jesus comes back sooner".
It certainly is not. Libuv (and friends) abstract platform-specific APIs like epoll (Linux), kqueue (FreeBSD), IOCP (Windows) etc, allowing to scale up to lots of concurrent clients/connections. I would recommend to use such a library for anything where you'd ever expect having to handle more than maybe 100 concurrent clients.

This is a small and simple alternative (the only similarity is offering some event-based API) using nothing but POSIX. This allows to keep the code small and avoid conditional compilation (so far only used for the optional TLS support). You might want to use it when you want to write some "small" service for POSIX systems, and focus on your actual logic (e.g. your protocol implementation) instead of dealing with all the internals of handling sockets, name lookups, daemonizing, signals, threading where needed, and so on.

The issue is that data is the opposite or wfh and in the office are on par in terms of productivity. Of course they'll use every trick in the book to get people into the office - even economy cooling and will try to work on your feelings like 'let's support the economy by having buzzing city centres'. Then 'culture', 'energy' and all other bits and pieces. They'll even give you a carrot in terms of pay rise and bonus which will then get eaten by transport costs making your actual pay in reality less than last year due to inflation, etc.

I am thankful that our company doesn't do that. We have data that proves wfh is at least the same and better in terms of productivity. Oh, and also, we listened to our employees when they wanted complete flexibility. It was not just HR exercise sending questionnaire out and then ignoring it saying something like 'we hear you but...'.
For Amazon, I prefer the web-app since it's able to open tabs for products I'm comparing. With the app, you're forced into a forward/back/forward navigation pattern that I think is sub-optimal when comparing products.

Is there something I'm missing here? It seems that the app is the less usable experience to me.

It's not quite that black/white, because drivers in Linux can and do crash without bringing down the whole system. I don't really know the technical details on how this works exactly, but I've seen drivers crash while the system remained running.

I'm not necessarily a proponent of currying; merely wanted to expand on what OP was pointing at.

The reason I like Erlang is because of the BEAM (+ OTP) combined with idiomatic pattern matching, I don't miss currying in neither language.
Just to be clear, Veblen goods don't actually create a status signal. They make the customer feel like they increased in status.

You mentioned the financing, and yes, its why every teen and low income person has an iphone. It doesnt matter who buys it to Apple, its money to them all the same.

The important part is to keep the marketing consistent. "If you buy expensive products, your status will go up". Showing that it is affordable to get an iPhone is bad for business.
The major subs are not the reason reddit is so popular.
You base that on exactly what? If anything this wide spread shutdown indicates that that is not the case.

I can’t imagine using my work computer for gaming, as maintaining the software install has so many different requirements, but, then, I’m no PC gamer and would rather have a console plugged into the big TV in the living room than on my desktop monitors. It’s also much less of a hassle maintaining a console than a gaming PC.

As a side-note, my living room TV is a rather small 43 inch one (limited in size by the surrounding overflowing book shelves) but, if I were a gamer, I’d probably have gone with a 60+ inch or wall projector.

If I lived alone, I’d get an Apple Vision Pro instead of the humongous TV, as it’d be cheaper.
Not indexed by search engines. I don't use discord(I'm unable to make one because of their ridiculously broken sign up flow), and I don't have an account on reddit, but I still find relevant stuff on reddit all the time through google. And reddit is super useful to me for that, specifically.

> Imagine if each subreddit was a separate forum with a separate account.

You can have a separate forum, but you don't need a separate account. You just need need these different sites to talk with each other. This is how email, Usenet and now ActivityPub works.

> People are lazy and want everything in the same place.

It doesn't have to be the same place for everyone. For me (and my friends and family), the "place for everything" would be the server I set up for them. For you, it could be a different server. For journalists from a media outlet, it could be an institutional server.

Also, stop projecting. Instead of hiding yourself in the excuse of "people are lazy", just say that you are lazy and don't care about giving your freedoms away to faceless corporations.

> Running a forum is a full time job. Need to handle DMCA takedowns, deal with illegal content, think about ways to monetise the site and so on. It's much harder than simply moderating a subreddit.

This is the key principle behind the idea of "Small Web". Your servers will be serving your immediate circle only. By definition, you would be only dealing with content created by people who you actually know.

- By not having to deal with thousands of users, the setup and maintenance is minimal.

- There will be no problem that you can not solve by just picking up the phone or knocking on their door and talking with the person directly.

- There is no need to "monetize" the site, because the operating costs are negligible and you are doing it only for yourself/your close circle.
It is kind of a moot point when so many cars in the USA end up crunching people on the sidewalk or their own driveway...where the kids usually are.

I think slide 7 also paints an interesting picture - +50% ridership in last 20 years, -8% capital capital investment years MTA-wide over 20 years in constant dollars.

I can't put an exact date on it, but somewhere around 2010/2012 it started feeling like the transit system was getting consistently worse, year over year. Mostly in terms of delays, headways, etc.

I have some cousins in the industry, and one of the problems they point to aside from work rules is that city/state agencies have basically no expertise in house for infrastructure. This is despite the fact that there has been a steady stream of some amount of work for decades. That means everything from project design, planning, management, accounting... literally everything is outsourced. All the MTA does is essentially ask for designs & bids, picks one, and then bleeds money to contractors.
My wife and I were both TotalFarkers from the time they introduced it until about 15 years ago when we made the switch to Reddit. The redesign was, and still is, shit. I just logged into my old account (which amazingly still works) and the interface is AWFUL. It was bad before, but its just gotten worse. The level of discourse in the threads (not a great sample, I just clicked on a few) seems not great and very few posts.

And how many millions of children have ongoing severely stunted development in both academics and social skills? More than 7 million. By some estimates 77 million, in fact.

It's more than web discussions. People only care about American politics and controversies even in places that don't speak English.
It's not just creating an account.

The forum software itself may be unfamiliar. Does it have better features than Reddit? Some do; others don't. Does the forum have really bizarre rules or conventions? Subreddits can too, but it seems to be less common. Will my first ten posts get held for moderation? They probably won't on my 17 year old Reddit account.

It would be nice to see a federated identity/reputation system take off though. I'm thinking of OpenID plus [some other technology that probably exists, but isn't popular] where any of many service providers or my own website can confirm my identity, then offer vouches from other forums along the lines of "Zak has been a member of [community] for 2 years, posted 473 times, and has not been banned as of [date]".
I'm an American, but I have a very international backstory (so I am sympathetic to other PoVs).

The one thing that the US does have, is that raucous, "Ain't no one gonna tell me what to do!" attitude. It can be annoying as hell, but does mean that we don't react well to authoritative control.

Despite the "whataboutisms" (PRISM, Snowden, etc.), the US is pretty much a proponent of an unfettered Internet.

So whatever replaces it as a main actor, should be fairly representative of all the stakeholders.

Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs honestly and I hate how the American culture wars are seeping into the mainstream here in Europe. A lot of these things are completely irrelevant to life here but it seems like a certain subset of people lap it up.

For instance, "Woke" has been a huge topic here in Norway the past ~3 months which is funny as it's close to completely irrelevant for the day to day life of 99.9% of Norwegians.

I blame the shifting media incentives and hope that some new platforms pop up, or that the mainstream audience just gets tired of it and stops using it (but due to the addictive nature of these platforms I doubt that honestly..)
To be fair many of those he surrounded with, including his second in command Dell'Utri, did end up in jail with extremely serious convictions like Mafia conspiracy and corruption of Judges. But he personally managed to change enough laws, delay trials, and keep enough plausible deniability to avoid the charges to stick.

Everyone replying here seems to be quoting "business reasons" which seem very English-centric. Try to talk to a Japanese or Korean person about their "business reasons".

I am suffering the opposite problem. My name has 36+ letters and I live in Japan, where the average full name has "3-4 characters" (Kanji) so they tend to be safe and allow for 10-15 characters, if I'm lucky maybe even 10 for given and 10 for family names (20 in total), where I don't have to totally murder my name and just need to amputate it.

Not sure why this comment is downvoted. It works the same even within the United States. There are 50 of them after all despite all conversation focusing on Florida, California, and Texas. We all know San Francisco and Austin but I couldn't name much more than that with a gun to my head despite knowing there must be dozens of cities in each of those states.
I think this is because many people, including me, was already very tired of Reddit's shitty changes. If Reddit had had a good track record and this was their first misguided change I doubt most users would have supported this.

Similar situation here.

In the mid 1980ies I started to analyze my favorite game, Boulder Dash, by observing the game's objects like butterflies or boulders, deducted algorithms to implement a matching game engine (at first in BASIC, later on in 6502 assembly, for obvious reasons), built a simple level editor, and so on, but in the end got stuck with the project b/o of my high school diploma.

After that, other topics came up, and my Boulder Dash clone got forgotten.

A while ago I bought an XU-1541 adapter, used it to hook up my 1541 drive to my Mac, and was able to retrieve nearly all of my disks and convert them into D64 images. Currently I use some of my rare off time to set up an IDE on the Mac and get the whole thing running again.

After decades of software engineering, the resulting architecture will surely look completely different and hopefully faster than the existing thing.

EDIT: I even kept my notes about it, including flow diagrams and 6502 code I scribbled during boring classes in school. Pure sentimental gold for me now. :)
I wonder how much it will cost to replace a cracked eyeball screen.
I don't like this. I hope it dies soon.

It has very bad UX because it muddles the "affordance" of a QR. A QR should explicitly and clearly look like a QR for people to understand they should use it as such.

It isn't effective because it degrades the bandwidth of QR codes. It reduces the amount of information you can place on QR codes.

This is just a gimmick, a funny trick that implements bad functionality.

As in Jurassic Park: just because you can do it doesn't mean you should do it.
