I mean, it sounds like you're just trying to create complicated applications. That's not a bad thing, my day job is also about trying to build complicated applications, so I also install a very similar set of tools. But that's worth doing, because there is added value in each of these tools.

If I were trying to do something less complicated, I'd just install less stuff. For example, I don't normally setup devcontainers or Google Fonts, and if I need icons, I might later on install some generic icon SVG library. And if it's just a small project, I probably won't add ESLint or testing. I often skip tailwind as well if I can - it's not bad, but CSS (+SCSS) is built into Vite so it's just less stuff to configure.

But each of those choices has a good reason, otherwise you wouldn't be using it. Tailwind makes writing CSS a lot quicker, linters help us catch more mistakes, devcontainers make it easier to get everyone on the same page, Typescript is incredible for so many reasons, and bundlers handle a lot of the minutiae of getting the right source code into the right destination.

And a big part of a software developer's job is looking at a list of things like that and knowing why each component is there in the list, and whether the value it adds is worth the complexity it adds. For example, in your list, I'd probably drop styled components and the macro toolchain, because tailwind on its own is good enough, and it's pretty easy to write your own components if you need to encapsulate styles somewhere. But you might be doing that a lot, so it might be a different tradeoff for you.

Which comes back to your question: why isn't there something that does everything? Well, because everything for the two of us will look different. You're using React and possibly Svelte, I'm mostly using SolidJS. You're using devcontainers, I'm not. You're using tailwind and styled components, I'm using tailwind and CSS/SCSS modules. A lot of people don't use tailwind at all.

The alternative is something more like Ruby on Rails where everything is preconfigured, but there are no choices any more - you use the tools and architecture as provided, and can't opt in or out of any parts. You don't get to try out Typescript until the framework authors have allowed it, for example. There are a lot of benefits to that style of framework, but it has issues as soon as you try to step off the beaten track. Like with anything, it's a tradeoff.

I think the other reason it's not that popular is that the current state of affairs isn't that complicated. You give a big list of things, but how hard is it to configure them? For a lot of stuff, the defaults will be good enough (for Typescript, I pretty much always just use the result of `tsc --init` but with isolated modules turned on). And the rest you've already configured - you can just copy the configuration from a previous project over. If you wanted to formalise that, you could create a template repo (and potentially publish it and get it to work with `npm init`), but that presumably depends on how often you're creating new projects.
I was worried it was stolen, but it was not. I reached out to him, and he did contact Xiaomi, but that went nowhere. So he gave me a password to try and it worked, so I could log him out after giving him the account number, and he could then retrieve all his lost data, so it was a win/win.

He had migrated all his google data but didn't realize there was more to it than that. It was innocent enough, not every used phone is stolen.

But it's something to be mindful of, that a 'working phone' may in fact be locked.

"promotes fantasy". Gasp! Dear folks, if you have an honest, open relationship with your partner, and communicate about the kind of fantasy you enjoy, you can in fact achieve "fantasy" as well.

I'm sorry, this is losing the point a bit, but there really is something so telling about the projection behind "fantasy [bad]" and "you might have fantastical thoughts".

Yup, some of it's a bit wild, and I hope everyone has the joy of a partner to safely explore and experience that with, sans judgement.

Not to mention that until the Apple //e was released in 1983, there weren’t even arrow keys on the Apple ][ keyboard. Even in the Apple //e era, word-processing was not only not WYSIWYG, but you had to insert printer-specific control sequences in your output which meant that on some printers, if you had a line break in the middle of an underlined phrase, the underline would continue from the left margin on the second line.

Interesting article, from my pov anyway. The argument put forward is a little like those between "descriptivists" and "prescriptivists" in the realm of grammar arguments.

I was expecting to see this Alfred North Whitehead Quote pop up --

"Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them."

Whitehead making the point that not knowing how it works is part of the magic of the whole thing! If every layer of abstraction "needed" to be understood by everybody: the layers would not be serving any purpose.

Whitehead said other things too that were clever and pithy.
Probably his accounts were closed as part of sanctions against Russia.
It's worse than that. Of course, you don't actually "need" teeth to eat: you can just eat baby food all the time I suppose. But a lot of infections in people start in the mouth, and historically tooth infections were the cause of early death for countless people. There's a reason people needed bad teeth pulled in the days before modern dentistry.

And yeah, vision checkups are pretty important to: regular checkups find problems inside your eyes that will cause blindness later.

The US seems to do an absolutely horrible job of preventative healthcare. Here in Japan, everyone gets a free yearly health checkup that looks for all kinds of issues; it includes blood, urine, and stool testing, and also includes hearing and vision checks, abdominal ultrasounds, a chest x-ray, etc.

Indeed.

I thought it was a fun distraction, as it's not often you get to recycle some old junk, and mix it with new software.

This thing with a cracked screen had zero viable future.
Certainly in 50 years they had enough time to consider it, plus we are now in C23, and new things have been added all the time, either by WG14, or compiler extensions that many developers clueless about ISO think of them as C.
We might consider that "no bathtubs" was merely a euphemism for "no sanitation and no way to clean their bodies at all" which I would judge as definitely prisoner abuse. Nobody enjoys or survives for long in filthy unsanitary conditions.

That was true, but you really didn't spend a lot of time on the command line. It wasn't like Unix. People didn't spend their time inventing options for their command lines; they sunk it into the GUI instead.

As number of electric cars increase converting parking lots to charging stations will increase as well. Though I think currently just like we have incentives for cars we need incentives for businesses to install chargers specially for chargers with solar backend to speed up the change as more chargers are built more people will move to electric as it gets more convenient.

China this year reached $10k car with BYD introducing its $10k cars with sodium ion batteries, these are not like previous cheap cars which were practically golf carts. With the prices of batteries and solar electricity falling 10%-12% a year on avg I think electric cars are going to take over a lot faster than people are expecting. Main reason being cost ice cars are almost 3 times as expensive to run today as an electric car already. It will be 5-8 times in 5-8 years.

You're moving the goalposts, while launching a torrent of insults without provocation.

You wrote:

>>>>How are the citizens in the least regulated doing on that front?

Now you're noting that some countries don't have specific workplace condition mandates. Not having said law doesn't mean they meet the ideals noted, of having laws establishing a free market, while lacking regulations that restrict voluntary exchange. To elaborate: in order to prove classical economists' and libertarians' claims about the free market being optimal are wrong, you'd have to show far more than these cherry-picked examples.

Your argument is sloppy, and when I request for more vigor, you lash out to create a flame war. This is not intellectual or scientific.

I'm absolutely justified in demanding you support your claims with evidence, and your belligerent responses are not justified, no matter how morally superior you believe yourself to be.
> Most of a car outside of ICE/EV differences are the same inputs, same supply chain.

It is an obvious statement that where they’re the same they have the same supply chain.

> The input supply chain for batteries is pretty simple

EV battery supply chains are the most complex out of all inputs for both classes of car other than microchips. There are many countries including highly geopolitically complicated ones like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Russia that provide vital material inputs.

> it has mechanical and electromechanical and electronic parts in profusion

Fuel injectors are older and simpler tech and have nowhere near as complicated a supply chain as EV batteries.

Hard paywall
I don't think a next-gen APU for a Steam Deck 2 is going to be that big a problem. The Steam Deck's APU is officially designated: "AMD Custom APU 0405"[1], basically a mix and match of AMD's same-generation parts. With the success of the Steam Deck, a followup custom APU is all but assured, although I don't think it'll show up before next year. If I had to guess, I'd expect a 4C Zen5c and 12 CU RDNA 3.5 on 4nm in late 2024 which should offer a big bump (assuming they can improve memory bandwidth).

Note, we're seeing a lot of Chinese handhelds using 7840s already that while a bit behind at 10W, start beating the Steam Deck's performance (sometimes dramatically) at 15W+. Personally, I'd be pretty excited for a Strix Point handheld next year - AMD seems like they're finally getting serious on the iGPU side of things again (with Meteor Lake looking to be competitive).

Yes. This happens with alot of subsidies but how would you determine what a person should receive?

People could have multiple children, debt, sick relatives, etc.

Maybe that 300k person in Nebraska had 20 kids or something. Using the area as a measurement is complex
We’re down to a duopoly in the smartphone market. For most of us without a desktop/laptop (the bulk of global internet users), our digital lives are essentially controlled by Apple and Google.

Why would this be any different with SDCs? The tech might be getting easier, but current market forces make it far easier for the big players to monopolize the market.
Yes, I know you pointed out that there is an explanation of tweaking the color planes individually, but I think you're missing my point. My comment was not intended as criticism of what you said; it was intended to expand on your thought by giving specific examples (e.g. film grain).
Particularly notable is that many of the bugs they're fixing can only be triggered by mods. (This is the case for at least half of the ones in your example -- "modded pipe-to-ground" is obviously mod-only, and neither "solar panels on multiple surfaces" nor "spider vehicles with burner energy sources" are features present in the base game.)
How to Get Notion-AI-Like Autocomplete with LLMs in Obsidian, Offline
For me it's that I want the most inflexible leg of the trip first. I'll often get a local bus to a railway station then get a long distance train. The trains are infrequent and it's cheaper to book a specific train in advance, so if a journey is bus then train I have to get an early bus to ensure that bus delays won't make me miss my train. Whereas going the other way I can step off the train and get whichever bus happens to be next, so train then bus is a shorter journey time.
Conversely I find it fascinating that anyone with more than the briefest of exposure to our industry could continue to harbor any kind of naïve optimism in the face of the industry's multi-decade track record of consistently fucking up everything it touches, sometimes in ways so spectacular they just might be existential threats to our society.
I sometimes wonder if someone is running that program right now until it crashes in a couple decades.
That doesn’t seem like a difference caused by the chip, but by whatever integration is used.

"In my mind vocal computing is the future of human-computer interaction"

...really though? That's the future? Not telepathic unspoken 1:1 mindmelding? Who wants to flap their vocal cords and waste breath having to talk to an anthropomorphic AI in the future if you can interact entirely through thought?

I think the future you're hoping for is a bit...near term. With a shelf life.

The combination of ChatGPT and Phind helped me, a noob with 8 months of coding knowledge, build an app with real paying users and revenue. I would have never accomplished this on my own, and now I have a working prototype to find co-founders and possible investors.
This is true. Particularly if you're a polgyglot working with many different stacks. You know how to do something in X and you've never done it in Y.

Explain it to ChatGPT and it gets you 95% there.

It's a huge time saver. Sure you could do it by browsing the web and sticking together a bunch of pieces, rewrite it twice etc.

For a long time now I’ve picked AMD solely on the basis that they seem like better people than Intel or Nvidea. Sure it sometimes bites me in the ass when things only support the majority market share holders, but meh, don’t care about them anyway.
I'm not sure who titled this post, but the word "drastic" isn't found in the target web page. And as a native English speaker, "drastic" feels wrong for this usage. I would say it's an inadvertent swap of meaning with the term "dramatic" which would make more sense.

"Drastic" has a negative connotation of intent behind it. For example, "drastic increase in police enforcement of laws in Germany" would make sense. In the case of the headline, it just rubs me the wrong way.
Improving some steps in your daily process by using LLM is definitely a worthy investment.

However replacing someone or an entire role category is a difficult transition. Humans don't change that fast, including the part of replacing other humans.

It's more likely that certain jobs will be in lesser demand when the businesses in question can get by using LLM, for filling a new position, rather than firing someone and replacing them with LLMs.
A fresh install does not trigger it. I know because I made a number of changes, including Linux and Windows installatios, to several machines recently and was not asked once
When I first got to the Bay area I saw three dentists, and gave them the same x-rays.

The first recommended I get eight fillings (which is why I went to the others).

The second recommended I get two fillings (which I did get).

And then the third recommended I get none.

Needless to say I'm now also suspicious of dentists.
It has the potential to devastate economies like mine (India) where the entire middle class was built on outsourced tech labor. I can’t see how Infosys and TCS can keep employing 500k people when this tech matures within 5-10 years.
I think a lot of the time the most eco friendly language is whichever one doesn't make a bunch of bugs and missing features, causing people to hate tech and then go use a wood stove instead of a heat pump, toss phones in the ocean, or burn down a research lab.
Everyone running databases in production knows how to take backups and restore from them. K8s or not, even using your cloud provider's database's built-in backups is hardly safe. One click of the "delete instance" button (or nowadays, an exciting fuck up in IaC code), and your backups are gone! Not to mention the usual cloud provider problems of "oops your credit card bounced" or "the algorithm decided we don't like your line of business". You have to have backups, they have to be "off site", and you have to try restoring them every few months. There is pretty much no platform that gives you that for free.

I am not sure what complexity Kubernetes adds in this situation. Anything Kubernetes can do to you, your cloud provider (or a poorly aimed fire extinguisher) can do to you. You have to be ready for a disaster no matter the platform.
