In the same boat.

I want to see a clear sensible path to sustainable profitability for my core software vendors and I want to see some competition, not too much not too less, just enough.

Unfortunately, very very few companies fall in that narrow category
Your comment about guitars is why I decided to continue playing with guitars despite the EDM craze(and I love EDM).

The ability to create analog waves naturally is something that I thought software would struggle with, or at a minimum, be too difficult/time consuming.

It hasnt turned into anything useful, never ended up making any public music, but as far as I can tell, I can create weird sounding music faster than anyone with software.

I'm happily waiting for AI Music to turn my blah into fab.
For work:

Mainly just not having a workflow of going back to close them. So it's just previous work like a view of some logs, a merge request, a link to a file in a repo, a monitoring dashboard, an alert in a monitoring system, etc.

In Chrome, I do end up closing them eventually because there's no more space to work.

For personal:

it's more like a bookmark, but don't often review them rather than open a new tab to research whatever I'm currently curious about.
As an employee that would be a catastrophic outcome.
It's mainly getting more traction recently thanks to the push from MPE gaining more popularity. MPE improves on MIDI in several crucial ways, mainly allowing for much better polyphonic parameter controls. However, it's also kind of a big hack internally, hijacking things like MIDI channels to work properly. MIDI 2.0 is largely a response to the proven need, to clean all that up and back the effort up to full industry collaboration (where MPE was a proprietary push from the likes of Roli).
> But as White points out, it’s a bit surprising that Delta didn’t block this particular combination as a possibility. “I’m sure they removed many four-letter words that would be seen as offensive,” he tells the Post. “I’m surprised that ‘gays’ and ‘H8’ weren’t blocked as well.”

Oh sweet summer child (meaning Jeff White, not OP/GP). As someone who has implemented a censorship/filtering list, this is a UX problem on the same level of decideability as the halting problem. You can spend boundless time curating a list to flag/grawlix every possible string that would offend even the most prudish of prudes, and some would still get through.

Ooh. Secular "Thoughts and Prayers". I love it!
I don't think you need b) to make the argument work. You just need to point out that a) isn't present in physical theories, except as labels or correlations. The zombie argument is b), which is just one of several thought experiments to illustrate the argument being made, but it's not necessary to make the argument work. Chalmers, Nagel, McGinn and Block have all made arguments that don't rely on b).

Nagel states it most clearly in that science is the view from nowhere. The world doesn't feel like, taste like, look like anything on it's own, because those are creature-based sensations which depend on the kind of sensory organs and nervous systems an animal has.
As someone that doesn't have the bias and nostalgia for Pixar movies that someone growing up with them does, I would say that your assessment is fairly accurate.

Masterpiece factory is clickbait hyperbole. Pixar has made at best, 2 masterpieces, and I'd argue 0[1], but that's a matter of preference frankly. What isn't subjective, is regardless of my or your feelings on the movies, that first 10 years period you mentioned? Yeah. Pixar fucking killed it. They were box office darlings for sure that could do no wrong for a while there.

[1]: The intro to up, as a standalone: Masterpiece. The rest? Good movie but it wouldn't have been near as memorable//enjoyable if not for those first few minutes.

I guess it depends what you're looking for.

I travel mostly for work, and I want something above all easy and reliable. I'm expensing all my meals so restaurants aren't a problem.

I hate the uncertainty of AirBNBs. They have greatly increased probability for booking issues, not being as described, weird dynamics with neighbors, and arbitrary cleanup/checkout processes.

If I was staying with others, on my own dime, for more than a few days, then yes, the calculus does change.
Any time you ever read a string, its type is always just going to be "string" (modulo whatever passes for a "string" in your programming language of choice). To get an actual non-string type, you'd need to parse that string, and presumably your parsing function would read the prefix and reject the string if it was passed an ID whose type doesn't match. So it's dynamically type-safe, if not statically type-safe.
You could ask the same kind of question about General Relativity. Sure mass/energy causes the curvature of spacetime but tell me how it does or your theory is worthless. Even without the “how” GR still makes testable predictions that are born out by experiment. And this is the shape of all our physical theories. I think this is the kind of theory IIT is trying to be.
It has broad vendor buy-in from the vendors that matter much more than OSes: Instrument manufacturers. Yamaha, Korg, and Roland all demo'ed MIDI 2.0 prototypes at NAMM recently.
Indeed, tab-based navigation has less friction, no need to recreate some other order in another UI, and offloading should deal with resource use (workspaces in Vivaldi also helped reduce the clutter a lot along with tab groups)
Micropython Support in Pyscript Core
There are for sure lawyers who know nothing about tech, but there are definitely some who are very strong on tech. Two examples from my personal experience:

1. I know a lawyer who did comp sci at Stanford before doing his law degree at either Yale or Harvard I forget which. He was very knowledgeable about all the licensing, IP protection issues etc relevant to software.

2. I work regularly with an ex-dev who is now a lawyer who specializing in infosec and data privacy issues. He runs packet captures on sites and checks for unintentional data leakage/gdpr violations when sites somewhere call out to google tag manager or put 3rd-party trackers somewhere. In an enterprise context there are a bajillion places this can happen so it's great to have a lawyer who understands what's ok and not but also is technical enough to use curl against a rest api or can run (and understand) packet captures when different web actions occur.
… which are non-stick because they're coated.

Now, I do think some of them are coming coated in silicone-based coatings. The consensus I get asking "are these carcinogenic?" is "probably not?"

But the other problem is determining what a particular pan is coated with: I have not seen a single manufacturer label their pan with anything more informative than that it is coated in "magic science stuff".

Those mirrors aren't exotic technology. They're undoubtedly very expensive and difficult to produce but at the end of the day they're as mundane as any other first surface mirror. They don't evidence the government having some sort of new paradigm of technology kept secret, like antigravity instead of normal airplanes or something like that.
Yay MIT License!

Not sure if this is genuinely important, but always happy to see humanity make a solid step forward with almost no chance of regression.
In the “Offline + Online Processing” section, are they talking about an external service that needs to run alongside the processing that occurs on your machine? Or am I misunderstanding that?
Fun story about that. I knew the lead driver for Curiosity and he was sharing a story about how not long after they got off Mars time they were driving it up a slope. Before he left for work that day he quickly thought to add a stopping routine in case the rover slide down the hill because the ground wasn't stable. Came back in the morning and they were worried they crashed the rover because the camera was facing a rock. Was a terrifying 30 minutes-ish moving the camera and checking that everything was okay. The routine saving the rover. (I'm sure the story is a bit exaggerated, but still fun and does demonstrate the high risk these systems have. Even if they only move a 0.15km/hr)
I'm figuring this out in real time just like everyone else.
That's be the 'metadata' section. Encouraging scientists to include metadata, as opposed to unlabeled binary dumps, is an ongoing effort.
I am generalizing for a few lulz. But I've also worked with people who have never seen a physical server - they've told me. And mac dropped the ethernet port from their laptops years ago. I've worked in offices where everything is on wifi. So I'm sure you could find quite a lot of younger devs who have literally never seen an ethernet cord. Fwiw I've never seen token ring hardware.
Just as it's hard to get two software firms to use the same version control syst- oh wait literally everyone runs on git.
Future Studies
I've worked with software engineers who didn't see the value in DCVSes like git but now that they use it they wouldn't dare go back to non-distributed systems. I would bet most lawyers fall into this camp. They have a process they know works and learning something new is a hassle... but if they used and got used to having history and diffing they wouldn't want to go back. I doubt it involves billable hour calculations for most of them.

Remember that software like WordPerfect which was very much not WYSIWYG had a long life with certain audiences like attorneys because they were used to it.

If it really is a billable hour problem the auto mechanic industry has already solved it: standard hours. Various services are documented at a given number of hours which is what you get billed by most shops even if it takes the mechanic half the time.
Is it really surprising? Solos can't always afford what more established firms can. Also, this: https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/27/business/chat-gpt-avianca-mat.... The lawyer asked ChatGPT if the case was real, but did NOT check any legal databases. Also consider, many lawyers are not litigators. They handle the same types of matters all the time, and likely lean heavily on one or a few treatises, in addition to their own experience.
Is there anything left to recover?

"Why is this media that's made to be entertaining so popular?"
At that point they are effectively pricing based on the work accomplished rather than the time taken to accomplish it. That sounds justified so long as it's transparent. Certainly as a customer if my car is in the shop for a week I don't really care how long any individual step actually took, I just care how long it takes to get my car back.
Supposedly they get 90 days to find a new job. That's probably enough time to find something better than what Canada offers.
Not in general. In the context of modern tv, particularly on the marvel side. The finale is she hulk complaining to marvel / Disney that the show was becoming a heap of generic spectacle garbage with a big superhero fight even though the premise of the show was light legal comedy.

It’s a good observation. Marvel has flubbed the landing on almost every tv series even if the original premises and pilots were good. I don’t think they executed on the bit very well, but props for trying I guess.

Edit: I don’t agree with it being better with a green woman though. It did benefit a lot from it clearly being the same actress in both forms. There’s a time and a place for practical effects. That wasn’t it.
Law firms call this value billing, but it's still pretty rare. The equivalent would be "write memo on topic X, which is mostly copied from a memo we already wrote for a similar client."

I am a US citizen who moved to Vancouver from the Bay Area three years ago.

I took a small pay cut when I moved (from ~135k USD to ~125k CAD, after a few years of raises I'm over 140k CAD now), but certainly not cutting my salary in half. Yes, Canada has its issues, but I'm overall happier living here than I was in the Bay. We have a regional train system that runs every 3-6 minutes instead of the 15-20 you get from BART and better accessibility to the outdoors (I can get to a ski mountain on the bus). I had better accessibility to healthcare in California, but here I don't have to worry about being out thousands of dollars for healthcare if I get laid off.

I work for a smaller tech company founded and headquartered in Vancouver, but I've seen the big tech companies making huge investments in this city over the last couple years. Amazon is in the final stages of building a new tower that will house 6000 employees [0] and Microsoft recently moved into 75,000 sqft of office space and is working on another 400,000 sqft [1]. The tech industry in this city is booming and it's certainly not all driven by companies stashing employees who can't get US visas.

Here's the test on NMS: https://www.nmslabs.com/tests/3427SP

NMS does not list consumers as their customers, and none of their customers make medical decisions based on their lab work.

NMS claims CLIA certification. This is the older law where labs self-certify compliance. Congress left CLIA in place alongside FDA IVD regulations to protect small pharmacists, but obviously Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp run fleets through that loophole, and most labwork is CLIA-certified, not FDA-approved.

Paying to test for highly-prevalent, possibly-toxic, pervasively-feared, under-studied chemicals is an ideal recipe for fleecing people with no real benefit.

Perhaps worse, if people get burned because it is corrupt, it puts people off trusting good providers. This is not just "Hey I made an app/web-site to track your period! How cool is that?" Some chemicals may be toxic, but so is fear.

So yes, it's super important to enable people to concretely understand their risks, protect themselves, and advocate for health policies. All the more reason to do it right.

So I hope you know what you're doing. Somehow the website needs to convey the organization behind it, and why that organization can be trusted to do this right, and not to mislead people.

I will step in to be the "it's not so bad" coming forward.

I get stomach upset and a bit of reflux when I overeat, but that makes total sense given the goal of the medicine.

Honestly the metformin I was prescribed at the same time as semaglutide makes me feel worse more consistently, and even that is tolerable.

Whoa, that's far from true.

They would not be able to duplicate an AK-47 as-is, no. Their reverse-engineering efforts of its components would absolutely advance all of their other tech, even if none of it ever produced a working firearm.

The gun is inspiration-- an outcome to work towards. Producing gunpowder and trying to create a musket out of reeds may not work out, but would have led to their independent discovery of fireworks.
That's fair, and I agree because honestly almost no companies IMO actually know how to build robust FOSS projects outside their own needs, I wouldn't put that totally on one place. It pretty much actually comes down to the engineers, in my experience, and how much they understand the whole thing. It's a big problem actually. But I know what you mean, Buck2 is definitely a Meta-first project right now, since they're still gearing up to replace everything. They've been pretty receptive to me, at least, but it probably helps that Neil has a bunch of FOSS experience (and we have a bit of rapport with each, so that helps), and there's many more people than just him on the job who all seem to want it to succeed! I think a lot of the technical decisions will help it grow better than Buck1 did, too.
This. My daily driver is a geriatric iphone 7. When I bought a new Galaxy A33 a few months ago for my mum, I took it for a spin for a day. I was shocked by how much lag there was, for example when scrolling. I know the A33 is a low-maybe-mid-tier phone. But it was brand new, whereas I bought my iPhone used in 2017 when the 8 was already out and maybe even the X (if not, it was right around the corner).

It actually was a very weird feeling because the scroll itself was way smoother than on the iphone, probably thanks to the somewhat higher refresh rate. But there was a noticeable and weird lag between my finger movement and the screen contents moving. Also, scrolling would sometimes randomly glitch for no reason in basic apps, like the settings.
Safari makes it difficult on non-jailbroken iOS.
> there is a huge entrenched interest in keeping the property bubble going higher and higher.

Just to paint the picture, in Canada:

* Prime Minister Trudeau is a trust fund kind with rental income

* Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Freeland, has four mortgages

* Housing Minister Hussen literally purchased another rental property recently

* 1/3 of all Liberal MPs have rental income in their disclosures

What Trudeau is doing to Canada is what my friends and I call the Slum Lord's Delight scenario:

* Flood the country with people who will need housing, while offering them no warning of just how unaffordable things are.

* Do absolutely nothing to increase housing supply. Add as many new taxes, fees, and regulation as you can to ensure new supply declines.

* Do everything you can to allow younger Canadians and new immigrants to borrow more and pay more for housing. Your solution to affordability is helping them borrow more, not reducing prices.

* If anyone complains about immigration, call them racist.

* If anyone complains about housing, blame the provinces and municipalities (whichever level isn't Liberal).

* If anyone thinks of protesting, go Trucker Protests / Tiananmen Square on them

I would not be surprised if Trudeau achieves a China-esque market before he's eventually removed or self-exiles, meaning a market where people never actually own the land, but rather have long term rentals (under a different name) of the property from a State owned company or monopoly.
We maintain a couple of popular ksuid libraries[1][2] and use it, so we definitely like ksuid. Though one big issue with ksuid is that being 160bit means that it doesn't fit into native uuid types in databases (e.g. postgres), which means that they come with a performance penalty.

Vercel (for instance) does pure serverless --- you configure "functions" that are invoked by their orchestrator --- that are all Javascript, or compiled to JS/WASM.

Fly.io takes Docker containers, turns them into VMs, and lets you decide where and when to have them running.

One isn't better than the other; they're just totally different models for hosting applications. The Fly.io model is much closer to what Heroku did, just modernized (with Docker, edge deployments, the `fly-proxy`, etc).

> The page says the reason for excluding U is "accidental obscenity'.

Crockford is being cheeky. To make a nice base32 alphabet out of non-confusable alphanumeric characters you only need to exclude O, I, and L. This leaves you with 33 characters still, so you need to remove one more, and it doesn't matter which one you remove, so you might as well pick an arbitrary reason for the last character that gets removed (and it's not the worst reason, if your goal is to use these as user-readable IDs, although obviously it's not even remotely bulletproof).
I took Ozempic for the first time three months ago. I'm 45 years old.
Three months ago was the first day that I can remember when I wasn't hungry.

Really, now I understand people when they say that "I don't want more food". Because I always wanted more food. Of course, I realized that it's important to not over-eat, and with effort it was possible.

But that's exactly the point. It's always a struggle against one of the most basic instincts you have - to not be hungry. Every day. All the time.

This is the thing that is missing from the "just eat less" slogan. That for some people it's harder than others. Honestly, I really had no idea that people felt like I feel on Ozempic.

I just thought I was weak for not being able to say no to food. I could eat until my stomach felt pysically stuffed full and still feel hungry and desire for more food.

In the context of war and hunger is my struggle the hardest one? Of course not, but it's still a struggle. Feeling fat sucks and feeling like you're weak for not being able to say no to somethig that you really really want all the time sucks.
Do you know why running the binary is slow for the first time, and that it will be fast forever once it's been run once?

I thought it's common knowledge that starting apps for the first time after reboot or after doing something else is slower and usually it's explained by the app being in cache for the next launch. But here the it can't be cache, because reading anything from SSD can't be that slow and it should already be in cache anyway.

I try to remember that we, the public, doesn't have any idea how many miles are driven on autopilot or full-self-driving. We hear about crashes and argue about whether or not FSD/autopilot was engaged or made a warning and disengaged at the last moment but the driver failed to avoid to crash. But we don't know the denominator in the ratio of crashes per mile so we can't directly compare it with human only or other manufacturers' automation products.
