"The worry is that WEI could potentially be used to disallow ad blocking, to block certain browsers, to limit web scraping (still largely legal, though often disallowed under websites' terms-of-service), to exclude software for downloading YouTube videos or other content, and impose other limitations on otherwise lawful web activities."

WEI gives too much control to browser-making big tech companies.

Should browser-making big tech companies get to control your computer more than they already do?

Labor is pretty much directly proportional to number of bricks placed. If you save on bricks, you save on labor.

If that was your point, sorry for misreading you.

In the era in which these were commonly used, bricks were largely made on-site or very nearby. So you saved on labor twice - once to make the bricks, and again to place them.

Weirdly, virtualbox on linux was usually my go to for trying out other operating systems. It also felt like the most straightforward to use.

“Accurate range” is difficult. It could be accurate based on recent driving, but that number could be very inaccurate if there is a change in weather or you are taking a different kind of drive than your last one.
Nvidia's software is also pretty atrocious, in my opinion. The output of various tools is cryptic, updates regularly result in a totally broken system, and things often stop working for no discernible reason. Nvidia GPUs are always the most finnicky part of a system.

A modern Linux system should have uptime measured in years with minimal effort. A modern Linux system with Nvidia GPUs will have uptime of weeks with a lot of fuss.

If admins are ‘lazy’, wouldn’t they regret a choice they made that increased their work (it being a horror show and all that) and instead go back to the smart choice of not-Teams?

Do we have data on loss of productivity for companies that migrated away from Teams? If it’s so bad how are consumer companies of Teams making it justifiable for loss of productivity to shareholders?

What I’m getting at is that it’s a more complex equation than just laziness being a parameter. Cost and ROI are the other two (among more likely).

I would recommend a Tesla to anyone, but not the FSD option. Don't waste your money on the FSD option, and you're fine. It's an expensive car that's super cheap to drive. The motors are basically zero maintenance. The battery will likely last the rest of my life. The interior is not too luxurious but decent. The seats are surprisingly durable and comfortable. No reason to sell it ever, unless you just get bored easily.
Google controls way to much of the interaction on the internet. Between Gmail, search, android, and chrome they can and do abuse their position. And this isn't even looking at the backend and ad stuff. It should probably be broken up in to multiple companies each of which would have different business strategies and areas of focus. Allowing a company to essentially break the current internet so that they can guarantee more ad revenue seems like what anti-trust rules were built for. Honestly, google has much more control on the internet with chrome than MS ever did with IE.

Dodging is illegal, being nobody's (or some low/zero tax country) tax resident and not paying anyone is perfectly fine, nothing wrong with that. Apart from maybe US with their specific global tax residence regulation.

You can stay in UAE for half a year, start being their resident with 0% tax and then moving around stayng less than 183 days anywhere. It's of course better to be connected to UAE or other low tax jurisdiction in case of "personal connection" taxes requirements. Nothing unethical, illegal or bad in that. As far as it's perfectly legal in lots of countries, that's optimizing and not dodging or avoiding.

If you are staying UAE resident this way, you probably will have some troubles receiving gov services, because you don't live there in fact most of the time (and you are still just a tax resident and not always resident in terms of long-term living permit).

Anyway, placing a person to be "managed" by some government is a really dystopian concept.

There are hundreds of use cases for it. We are discussing one in particular which is for international settlement of USD backed tokens with limited trust assumptions necessary. Because we are talking about USD and not BTC or ETH, there is ALWAYS an intermediary involved in any transaction that is not paper cash in hand.

The sender and receiver still benefit from a permissionless, automated, international, instant transfer of funds with a cryptographically certified audit trail. The blockchain runs 24/7 and has no downtime. A token can be fully programmed and fine tuned for whatever parameters need to be checked to authorize a transfer. Those rules are transparent and auditable to everyone involved.

The transfer goes through within seconds and the cost of the transfer does not scale with the value of the transfer.

The "explainer" does actually address this, by talking about "a small percentage of (client, site) pairs". In other words, a particular browser, going to a particular site, will always and forever either enable holdback or not.

So, no, you couldn't continually request attestation from the one site. Instead, you could create 20 separate top-sites and load them all in tiny iframes. :)
No. I'm correct. From your link: 'The Abrahamic religions are a group of religions centered around the worship of the God of Abraham. Abraham, a Hebrew patriarch,[1][2] is extensively mentioned throughout the Abrahamic religious scriptures of the Quran, and the Hebrew and Christian Bibles.'

As I said, only judaism worships the god of abraham. As I showed, the god of abraham said ONLY the descendants of abraham are his 'chosen people' and hence only the descendants of abraham are able to attain salvation.

Christians worship the god of christ, not the god of abraham because the god of christ allows non-descendants of abraham ( 99.999% of all christians around the world ) to be saved. The same logic applies to islam.

In other words, if christians worship the god of abraham, then it would mean christians believe they are going to hell while jews go to heaven. Does that sound like christianity to you? I grew up christian and that doesn't sound like the christianity I grew up with. Christians believe jews forsaked god and jews are destined for hell. That's why god sent christ to form a new convenant with all humanity. Hence the new testament vs the old testament.

The abrahamic religion nonsense is a political creation like judeo-christian. It's self-contradictory nonsense invented purely to advance a political agenda.

Something that gave me a chuckle growing up where I did in Australia: everyone's lawn died in the summer. You're weren't allowed to water it enough due to drought measures, and the summers are so hot they die off on the first heat of the season.

I notice a lot more people ditch the lawn for native plants now. Sure does look a lot less futile than spending a third of your lot on dead grass.

Many memories playing cricket on dry, prickly, dead grass as a kid.
IDEs can 100% do this, too. The art of connecting to a running program using the debugger is just something folks stopped caring about.

This led a lot of programming environments to where batch loading of the code is basically required. But "image based" workflows are a very old concept and work great with practice. Some older languages were based on this idea. (Smalltalk being the main one that pushed this way. Common Lisp also has good support for interacting with the running system.)

It is a shame, as many folks assume everything has to be "repl" driven, when that is only a part of what made image based workflows work.

How is that different from what Tesla does.

It shows you current battery percentage, it shows you live on the default screen what its discharge rate is, it also tells you in a side screen what driving habits are consuming extra energy from baseline and percentages from doing things like driving over 70 mpg, air conditioning, altitude changes.

So what exactly is an ICE car doing better.

Last time I checked, my fuel gauge wasn't telling me about the 15% drop in engine efficiency from going to high altitude areas. Funnily enough, the Tesla showed a large increase in energy use due to going up a slop, but otherwise is not affected by the drop in air density.

I think in just about every response you left in these threads, you misunderstood what was being said. Possibly through impatience, or just plain arrogance. I really encourage you to spend some time trying to understand how interactivity/restartability (as in Lisp restarts, not process restarts) is built into the language. Especially if you're specializing in the compilers of dynamic languages.

You might also check out Smalltalk, which has a similar level of dynamism.

You think people care more about that than their salary?
This isn't necessarily bad advice, but I agree with @jacknews, it's exhausting. If the essay(s) included a disclaimer or essay one discussed the benefits of pacing yourself, this would be a far more grounded series of articles.
This is one of the most random, slightly off-topic, and absolutely amazing stories I've ever read in my life. So much of it rings familiar, down to (almost) failing the exam on trivia questions :)

BTW have a look at this blog post: <https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2023/faas-in-go-with-wasm-wasi...>. It uses a lot of off-the-shelf components like a WASM runtime instead of a custom 8080 emulator, and net/http rather than rolling your own HTTP server - but it's fascinating, how close your crazy project ended up from actually viable real-world use cases.
FWIW, one of my vehicles which _does not_ get the EPA estimated is a 2017 Ford Fusion 2.0L AWD. EPA estimate is 20/29/23 (city/highway/combined.)

I normally get 21mpg combined, which is really not so far off. Lots of highway driving usually gets the average up to 23.5mpg. With that worst-case number, across a full tank of gas (16.5 gallons x 2 mpg), I'm shorted about 33 miles, or 8%.

Is that pretty comparable to what Tesla users see? The article claims it's much higher:

> Tesla was fined earlier this year by South Korean regulators who found the cars delivered as little as half their advertised range in cold weather. Another recent study found that three Tesla models averaged 26% below their advertised ranges.
This comment is unnecessarily antagonistic, and you are consistently and willfully missing all the points in your replies.

He could have set up a more complex architecture and paid much more in hosting costs over the years to overengineer the solution. What would the benefits be? It might have avoided this one outage or saved a few hours restoring the data. The drawbacks? Much more time developing and maintaining the solution and higher subscription costs for users.

The solutions you are familiar with and comfortable with are perfectly valid. But you are falling into the trap of thinking "what I'm familiar with and comfortable with is the only valid answer and everyone else is wrong and stupid".
As a "regular" engineer, every time someone showed me a way to do things that I didn't know, or didn't think of myself, I dug deep to learn it, and to figure out how I could have come to that myself. I also relentlessly made sure I always took responsibility for things I involved myself in, from both business and technology side. I became a bit of a product owner in addition to an engineer.

And then I took a leap and asked my manager for a path there, and we worked together to make the title stuff happen.

Climate negotiations must face reality and rebuild credibility
When was the last time, EU went after a European company. In the absence of anything meaningful from FTC, EU anti-trust is all we got. But has Europe held a European companies to the standards they hold American companies. I think it is a case of envy! Also, they had interesting solutions - like Windows should have a "choice" screen for choosing the browser and not too long after that regulation, Chrome came out of the gates and blew the browser markets. The rest is history.

Many threads in HN are prescriptive, but once in a while we get some wonderful retrospective threads. Of course, hindsight is 2020, but really has European anti-trust and their actions have they resulted in any meaningful change at any level. Or is it a punitive bludgeon they use to beat American tech because of their envy?

I know. I've been spending a lot of time with CL, Scheme, and Clojure the past few years, and the ideal Lisp is some combination of them all. There are aspects of each that I miss in the others. CL has the nicest environment and development story (generally speaking). Scheme feels more refined in the small. And although they can be divisive, I really appreciate Clojure's data structure literals.

I'm not a big fan of the overly dramatic writing style, but it makes a decent point. A single unforgettable impression can do wonders.

Once I was in an adhoc team that was put together to scramble on a high-visibility feature. We decided to meet every morning in an in-person standup to discuss our progress.

The first day I was feeling particularly energized and motivated, and I also wanted to make a good impression (I had only been at the company for a few months). So I worked as hard as I could and crushed through all of the tickets that were assigned to me.

The next day at standup, the director of engineering asked me for my status and I just casually said "yesterday I got to code completion on all my tickets; they still need to go through QA but I'm ready to take on more work." He looked at me for a second and said "...did you say you finished all your tickets?"

From that day forward I was known around the office as "the machine" lol. I don't recommend trying to work that hard every day because obviously you'd burn yourself out, but once in a while it's good to flex and show yourself what you're capable of.
