Wasn't desktop publishing a big early "killer app" for the Mac? It had the Laserwriter and I am under the impression that its management and rendering of fonts were better as well.

Amiga had a big impact on audio and art of I remember correctly. I took an art course in 1993 and the lab was full of Amigas. Not only did they have color screens but there was a rudimentary video capture system as well. We couldn't actually edit videos but we could incorporate video into projects.

We did have a Mac in the electronic audio lab though. Mind you, it was a single Mac Quadra. We had just gotten a 60mb hard drive which really opened up audio editing capabilities. We would dump our projects onto a DAT and reload them in our next time booked in the lab. All that gear was really expensive. I ended up using the analog stuff more (Moog something or other, Otari 1/4" 4 track, razor blades, tape, etc.) because it was so much easier to get up and going and tape loops were a lot of fun.
That isn't what's proposed here, it's just passing the size with the pointer as one discrete type.

Hm. How could I possibly have missed all gendered marketing for either of these products? Coke Zero tastes much more like normal Coke, Diet Coke tastes like its own different thing. I drank both, and associated neither with men or women.
This happened to a restaurant I go to a lot. Their Maps listing said there was online ordering, but the link went to a site that even had a disclaimer saying they were not actually affiliated with the restaurant. I reported it to Google and they removed the entry, but anyone can make a change and double checking seems to be cursory at best.
I work for an indie gaming startup that is based in Saskatoon but has no office.

I've worked at 5 different tech places in ~11 years in the industry here.

Getting a job as a programmer here is pretty easy, there's not a ton of options but there's a few success stories that are usually hiring.

I know many people who work remote from here, Digital Ocean is a popular remote option.
The first annotation network I remember was pre-2000. They could only get investment if they created a system that required modifying DNS. I struggled against this and was the last commercial internet work I did.

The commercial web shifted the development from people self-publishing to ads that needed to be sold.

This has had a tremendous effect on everything.

The best example I have is the massive infrastructure many people insist is required for a website.
I really like that the article does its best to provide evidence with data and graphs.

hell Pantone claims to own colors let alone art

The question is more like this, if google books has an api that lets you retrieve one sentence from any book, and you use it to fetch whole chapters of valuable books written by actual insightful authors.

Do you really deserve to claim to have written the book you patch together from that? Especially, do you really deserve to not only benefit from selling the new book, but not even acknowledge nor pay a percentage to the original authors?
There's a lot of 'just' in your argument.

As programmers we fall into this trap where we think that 'just' doing something else will solve all our problems. But I can guarantee that it's never that simple, and for the people who consume your library, it won't be either.
Fair enough. I stopped using it right around the time (~2 years ago?) when they finally added the ability to do an export. At that time, the compelling reason to use alternative TOTP apps was the ability to sync the secrets. I assume this feature was driven mostly because of said alternatives, rather than goodwill for such a simple/obvious feature.

I always did & do save a copy of the QR code or, if provided, the BASE64ed key in my PW manager. I know I'm never locked in with TOTP: I can use anything (I've written the 10 lines of code, even) to generate the code, and it can be entered manually on any device that can display the site's login page by hitting 6 digit-keys. WebAuthn needs, at minimum, the browser to remain open to integration.

Unlike the Anglosphere countries apparently, here in Japan dental care is considered "medical" and an essential part of healthcare, and is covered by medical insurance just like any other medical problem. Cosmetic stuff of course is extra, but the essentials are covered no differently than any other procedure.

Sadly for the concept of the Open Internet, plenty of sites either have or would consider blocking most countries besides their own and closely-linked neighbors e.g. US/CA, since they figure nobody in those other countries could be, say, legitimately placing a takeout order in Chicago, or entering an American contest, etc. So it’s all downside (malicious bots, DDOS etc) with no perceived benefit of allowing them. It’s sad, but it’s probably going to become even more common.

"The invention involves two electrodes and a thin layer of material, which must be covered with tiny holes less than 100 nanometers in diameter—thinner than one-thousandth the width of a human hair, according to a statement from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where the researchers work.

As water molecules pass through the device, from an upper chamber to a lower chamber, they knock against the tiny holes’ edges, creating an electric charge imbalance between the layered chambers. In effect, it makes the device run like a battery. The whole process resembles the way clouds make electricity, which we see in the form of lightning bolts." https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-new-device-ge...
I would say the risks are approximately the same. The biggest difference is that HYSA are insured by the FDIC up to 250K. Money market funds, purchased through a brokerage, are insured by SIPC. You get 500K of coverage total, but only up to 250K of that goes to cash equivalents. On the other hand, your brokerage likely isn’t engaged in fractional reserve banking like a bank is, so maybe your money is more secure with a brokerage.
If I have significantly more resource available in one side of the trip than other, it almost always a round trip. So the effect according to your logic will cancel out.

Salesforce is oddly popular as a Shadow IT platform for web applications because it has a database and a programming language, but is often controlled by "non-IT" teams such as finance or whatever.

I'm seeing people migrate perfectly fine ASP.NET or JSP applications to Salesforce just to get away from their internal IT teams, which can stretch out the paperwork to 2-3 years just to spin up a VM for a legitimate purpose.

> I'm willing to be told I'm just doing it wrong, but does vanilla + Space Exploration have a different sort of challenge curve

Completely different. The SpaceX mod used as an endgame in Seablock has no relation to Space Exploration.

Space Exploration makes pervasive changes throughout the game, and adds the ability to launch yourself into space, build a space station, build colonies on other planets, and mine resources on other planets (and elsewhere) which aren't available on the starting planet. The research required for the first rocket launch is reduced, and there are multiple tracks of research unlocked once you get into space.
Not always. You're making the mistake of assuming that drugs and guns are being chosen by the person that's potentially shortening their life.

People die all the time due to other people's choices of embracing drugs and using guns. In a car with someone who's afraid of being caught with a little cocaine? Getting shot by someone who can't aim? There, you're now a victim of drugs or guns without making a lifestyle choice.

This is going to be a slow death, they are cutting out people who also contribute to different projects upstream. They don't know how to grow any-more; RH used to do some goodwill, now they think that badwill will work better.

We should expect that "not invented here" syndrome of RH will only get stronger.
"fit entirely in memory" is not a requirement. LMDB is not a main-memory database, it is an on-disk database that uses memory mapping.
This feel pretty biased pro-Deno:

- "main, browser, and fs don't matter in Deno since Deno's APIs are based on browser APIs."

- fs implies we are reading files, how do you use a browser API to read files in the local filesystem? You cannot, you'd use Deno.readTextFile, which is not browser-compatible, so in Deno you have to either make it for Deno or for the browser, not both. The fields main and browser allow you to make a single package compatible with both NodeJS and front-end JS, something not possible with Deno.

- "type, module, requires, and imports doesn't matter in Deno since it shares the same import API as browsers."

- Seems like Deno just doesn't support CommonJS, e.g. the vast majority of npm modules, which is a big con and not an advantage: "Current Node.js supports both CommonJS and ES Modules, while Deno only supports ES Modules"

etc.

If you interpret the article as intended, yes Deno will make the pain worse because virtually no one is writing libraries that only supports Deno, so now you'd have all the above issues + Deno-specific ones.

When industry creates the standards, they make it work for themselves. Everybody else in the world is on their own. Doesn't work for you? Nobody else supports it? It's really complicated? Everyone seems to implement it differently? Not their problem! They got the standard they wanted.

If it doesn't work for you, that's your fault for not being part of the standards body when this was being proposed. Or, even if you were part of the standards body, if you don't agree to whatever the giant incumbents want, they'll go implement their own thing, defeating the purpose of the standard; so you have to agree anyway

Every business wishes it could be a vending machine. Strip out all employees and customer service and damn the consequences if your soda gets stuck.

Too many people and businesses have been relying on these vending machines, partially because they have no other choice. Everything has been hollowed out, every store runs on a skeleton crew. You know this if you’ve walked around a store wondering if anyone even works there. I never noticed this until I traveled to other countries and found businesses that actually felt like they wanted to please me instead of feeling like I was expected to be grateful that BigBoxStore (tm) exists.

It's not a technicality. Android uses the Linux kernel like any other Linux distribution. Games that target Android depend on the Android runtime and framework and games that target Steam on Linux depend on the Steam Linux runtime. Linux games can also target an arbitrary set of dependencies, but compatibility may not be very good.

Just because Android has a stronger brand than Linux and doesn't feel the need to advertise to people that it uses the Linux kernel, that that doesn't make Android any less of a Linux distribution. Most consumers don't care about the kernel the operating system they have uses. Saying that nobody calls Android "Linux" is irrelevant.
None of those are the fault of containers. You can do all of what you said without containers.

I just visited family in California and I was surprised at how many things needs an app now, and there is no alternative.

For example, I went to visit the beach, which is on a national park. Parking required an app. There were park rangers there, the location was staffed, but they did not accept cash or credit card. Just an app. And there are two phone operating systems now, Apple and Android. So no. Can’t live without FAANG. I ended up downloading the app on the spot and purchasing a pass.

I’m sure the park service does this for their convenience. And it’s so populated near the coasts that if anyone doesn’t comply, they still have plenty of people who would gladly use the app. They can get away with demanding smartphone use. You can certainly get away with not having a smartphone further inland, and not needing to depend on FAANG explicitly. But I know this expectation is going to creep into the continent over time. In 5 years, if you say “I don’t have a smart phone” you’ll just be denied service. Period. No questions asked. And you will be considered the unreasonable party by most.
Huge pages aren't pageable, so they wouldn't be particularly advantageous for a mmap DB anyway, you'd have to do traditional I/O & buffer management for everything.
It’s a strange feeling reading Ioffe’s memoir.

When I was a physics undergraduate, I understood the mentality. The high-maintenance asshole professor was exactly who I’d be drawn towards. I learned how unhealthy that was, and many of those who didn’t ended up burning out HARD.

Landau was the rare asshole whose ability to hone students was worth the abuse. And reading this, I found myself in the frame of mind of “yeah, in that scenario, I’d absolutely work my ass off just to be in that guy’s favour”.

Years training myself out of that unhealthy mentality and boom, a few pages of memoir and I’m back in that naive frame of mind.
What's your intuition for how many people do have this luxury, and what context do you think it holds in?

My company has fully embraced flexibility, so even though many do work in the office it is completely accepted that some days they just won't. Other people in my social circles seem to have similar setups, but I've got no idea how far that extends outside of my bubble - not even in the rest of my city let alone the country or wordlwide.

Funnily enough, the first half of that interview was successful in killing my last bit of curiosity about arguing over interpretations of QM. He talked about young physics students eager to learn about the fundamental nature of the universe and wondered that senior physicists weren't eager to engage with these issues. I was interested to hear from someone dedicating themself to this field but the resulting conversation was so boring.

Copenhagen was messy because it introduced measurement as a separate process which is inelegant. The Everett interpretation preserves linear evolution but is messy because Schrodinger's cat experiment ends up with two cats (which seems like a mischaracterisation of MWI but whatever). Bohmian mechanics is good because it doesn't have the measurement problem and that Everettian weirdness. The conceit of having both particle and wave was brushed over because he didn't feel like it was too strange.

I listened with increasing apathy to a discussion on vibes about untestable and mathematically equivalent theories and when I got home I read Scott Aaronson's post 'The Zen Anti-Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics' and knew it for the first time.
Not so; neither Kata containers nor Firecracker are in widespread public use today. (Source: I work for AWS and consult regularly with container services customers, who both use AWS and run on premise.)
Or it could be that the time/effort required to craft a prompt and check the output is not worth it for most/all use cases, and thus after the initial excitement ChatGPT and friends gather dust much like blockchain and Apple Vision.
In Holland we (used to?) get these fluoride paste treatments when we're young. They reinforce the enamel and it works really well. I've had like 2 cavities and I'm in my late 40s. And I drink a ton of sodas.

That paste used to make me really sick but wow it does work.

Not sure if they still have this though because the neolibs have destroyed the state health system and replaced it with mandatory private insurance that doesn't include dental anymore.

That's no more likely to be true. In order to correctly understand the context of our jobs, we would have to understand other jobs we don't and never will do.

I agree, and I try not to message people on their time off, but if I felt it was important for some reason (for example, maybe if I'm not going to be around on that day which is the only reason I can remember doing it), I'd make sure to clarify expectations, or lack thereof.
I hope this doesn't come across as poorly stated, but I would highly recommend looking into possible dietary causes. I don't mean you are eating like a slob, but rather you are eating something which you are not supposed to eat either because it is too processed for your body or it is an allergen. Tooth decay can be cause by the diet you are consuming and if you are not consuming the correct nutrients( bioavailability is based on your genetics and not just the source of food)

I skimmed TFA and this is less about “environmentalist” boogeymen than it is about policy that leads to quick cash-in on incentives when better policy could make a more robust system that benefits more people. If we are going to have financial incentives let’s overpay for rooftop solar and neighborhood scale batteries, over-crop panels and rural batteries - and plonk a bunch of money down to get a grid that is more nimble. ex: Texas coal and oil electric plants are failing in the heat and the cold, we need more outrage there and a smarter grid to tap the renewables.

We will still be giving money to people/corps rich enough to own a lot of rooftop, but regular folks can benefit more. It should be easier to cool them down when overheated, they could help with blistering heat in parking lots etc.

>Can be macro'd at the function definition, but it's ugly.

I wonder if typeof in c23 has changed this at all. Previously there was no sense in defining an anonymous struct as a function's return type. You could do it, but those structs would not be compatible with anything. With typeof maybe that's no longer the case.

e.g. with clang 16 and gcc 13 at least this compiles with no warning and g() returns 3. But I'm not sure if this is intended by the standard or just happens to work.

struct { int a; int b; } f() {
return (typeof(f())){1,2};
}
int g() {
typeof(f()) x = f();
return x.a + x.b;
}

edit: though I suppose this just pushes the problem onto callers, since every function that does this now has a distinct return type that can only be referenced using typeof(yourfn).
None of these semantics actually exist. Javascript is the language, and it was released as an implementation first, then a standards body worked on a specification for it. For various reasons (bickering, trademark), the specification was called ECMAScript. ECMAScript is the specification for Javascript. That's it. There's nothing clever to be had here, it's just odd historical trivia.
take a look at http://nms.csail.mit.edu/~stavros/pubs/OLTP_sigmod08.pdf - the overhead of coordinating multiple writers often makes multi-writer databases slower than single-writer databases. remember, everything has to be serialized when it goes to the write ahead log, so as long as you can do the database updates as fast as you can write to the log then concurrent writers are of no benefit.
It is so difficult to write challenging exams that only top-tier (“devoted”) professors do.
