Again, they're selling products worth nearly $2000. I'm not talking about changing their production line. I'm talking about why this happened in the first place. You said it was to save money because "adding extra chips is not worth it". I highly doubt it. This appears to be a design error. A design error while saving money on engineering? Maybe, but that isn't what your first comment said.
That’s to change it. There would have been no additional cost to do it right at the start other than the resistors.

When it launched, we shipped it with an HTML/TypeScript based UI. It sold well, and got excellent reviews

So of course a few moments later it was insisted that the whole thing had to be rewritten in Flutter/Dart. Because reasons.

But of course Flutter didn't exist for the platform. So that had to get written too.

Which also meant somehow writing things like screen reader, and other accessibility features, which are services provided normally by the OS for other platforms (Android, iOS) that Flutter ran on. And which we had just finished porting to Cast OS from Chrome OS.

And of course they insisted that because, I dunno, Flutter was native or something it would just be faster than that dodgy HTML stuff. Nevermind that thousands and thousands of engineering hours have gone into the Chromium graphics stack, and my coworkers had made it perform very well on the little old outdated cheap SoC in the thing...

And while this was all happening, simultaneously people were working off in Fuchsia land with seemingly unlimited headcount, hoisting the whole thing into Fuchsia. And claiming they'd be done any minute now. But then, of course, late for multiple years.

All along the Cast OS team was deprived of product roadmap or headcount, to maintain the existing thing... which we had shipped into customers homes successfully and gotten excellent reviews.

Anyways, I wasn't central to this or anything, most ephemeral. But ephemerally flabbergated and frustrated.

Happy to hear you enjoyed the earlier experience :-)
> I don't see any value in trying to quibble about whether it's a bug in the caller or the callee.

Right, neither do I - like I said, "that's an issue for the _overall system_ of a cache which stores T.". The bug is that a given type (None) has different meanings to different components of the system, and this bug only arises _because_ "One function's return value is [being passed, directly, without any interpretation, as ] another function's parameter". If the type signatures were changed so that interpretation was required - so that "the answer is None" could be distinguished from "I don't have an answer" - then the bug in the overall system goes away.

No, he says he "almost reached the regrettable conclusion." If we change his words, sure, it's a foregone conclusion. But that's not what he said, and that isn't an accident.

Also, again, he understands they're separate groups with different ideologies.

> did companies only just become greedy in the last two years?

No, but their greed was kept somewhat in check by consumers who'd rightly feel ripped off if they saw a company suddenly jacked up their prices. Before the pandemic companies generally didn't collude to all raise their prices at the exact same time.

When the pandemic first hit, companies lost a lot of money which they wanted to claw back somehow. There were some legit supply chain issues, but companies who were not affected by them said "We know our prices are sky high, but supply chain issues! We're all in this together!" and consumers bought the lie. Long after the supply chain issues improved companies still used them as an excuse. I don't blame consumers here. Things were going on that were totally unprecedented and giving companies some slack seemed perfectly reasonable given that surely we were all suffering.

Then as inflation started to soar it was all the news talked about and companies again said "We know you're going into debt to buy groceries, but it's not our fault! It's this damn inflation! We're all in this together!" and fewer consumers were believing their bullshit since by then the news was already talking about how those same companies were pulling in record profits and making money hand over fist, but since every company was doing it, consumers had little choice but to pay up or go without (which isn't always an option).

Companies have also tricked a lot of people with the narrative that the pathetic amount of disaster relief people got during the pandemic is to blame for inflation. I'm surprised how many people I see who are convinced that the $1000 checks people got to help pay off the record amounts of debt families went into to keep rent paid and food on the table is the real problem. This helped to deflect attention away from the fact that companies have been price gouging.

Lately they've been trying to use that same trick for everything. Some companies had to increase egg prices because of bird flu. The news reports it's the worst outbreak in almost a decade! Consumers are primed to expect egg prices to rise. The largest egg supplier in the country wasn't impacted by bird flu in any way, but they still raised their prices because they had an excuse and made over 700% more in profits. Cal-Maine Foods made a killing by ripping off the public who were already struggling and being taken advantage of. They got away with it entirely.

So companies were always greedy, but they didn't always have convenient excuses to point at to deflect the public's anger. Now they know they can lie to the public and collude to raise prices openly without fear of any repercussions.

The scapegoating scheme actually started a little bit before the pandemic with rising gas prices (notice how many companies increased their prices and told the public it was all because of gas prices but didn't lower their prices after the price of gas dropped?). They made money on that, and the pandemic was just the next major excuse. I suspect it's going to continue with companies looking for any and every excuse to jack up prices at insane rates.

China also adopted capitalism, in some ways more extreme and enthusiastically than anywhere else in the world.

There's a reason both the USSR and China started doing reforms in the 80s: neither system was working well, leading to stagnation at best and outright absurdities and poverty at worst. In both cases, the economic reforms mostly worked out well.

There are a bunch of differences between Russia and China: China never seriously attempted to introduce democracy and has had a fairly stable political system since the late 70s, whereas in Russia the entire communist political system collapsed and was replaced (which is always tricky business). China also never experienced a breakup similar to the breakup of the USSR, didn't have "let's sell off all state properties to my friends for peanuts" kind of corruption, had quite a different make-up (before the reforms most of China was rural and profoundly poor), and probably a few other differences.
It’s pretty hard to express abstraction and control flow in a format like YAML or XML. You’ll probably find less friction in using https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/ to generate arbitrary CloudFormation templates from a mature programming language.

I’ve occasionally done the same with Terraform, writing Python or Groovy to generate Terraform-flavored JSON rather than hand-write HCL templates that would be too verbose to understand and maintain (looking at you, DynamoDB autoscaling).

Regular people don’t really use window managers much these days, partly because they don’t use desktops as user environments unless needed. I know a lot of you’ve heard about gen-z not knowing about file systems and it’s definitely relative.

Most tasks are done in browsers with tabs, and if they need to use desktop apps it’s in full screen. Have any of you tried using Spotify or VScode not in full screen? It’s obviously not how they’re designed.

What the gnome people in this article refuse or fail to acknowledge is that no matter if they go with stacked, tiled, floating, mosaic, it’s gonna be a struggle for form factor because that’s just not how the way modern apps are designed.

Same again, for jazz. A friend who invited me to a jazz concert years ago, and talked a bit about it, said that jazz kind of "makes you listen to it", IIRC. I don't know why it is so, but it seems he was right.
The synthesis outlined in the paper takes about 90 hours, but basically all of it is just waiting for the material to bake in a furnace.

I'd expect some lab out there to report a result by the end of the week. The synthesis really is super simple, just grinding powders together and baking in a furnace. Granted, the final product has to be baked under vacuum, but that's not super difficult to achieve. The authors sealed the material in a quartz tube and baked in a standard furnace.

I use Reduce Motion too, but even then there's an animation (it's a cross-fade instead of a wipe) with the same duration and annoyance, although it is less visually distracting and doesn't try to reinforce the worse-than-useless-to-me spatial ordering.

I have to wonder if there's some deep wizardry possible, some hacky function you can call hidden way deep inside Dock.app or Mission Control.app, that will do the workspace switching without any animation.

I’m not sure “culture war outlet” is quite accurate. I think the FP covers culture war topics, but is far more nuanced than typical rage bait. I have some negative things to say about this article in particular but the outlet itself is not all bad IMO.
I suffer from this and have for as long as I can remember (at least started around ~17). In the article he never mentioned his triggers, but it's important to figure out what they are.

For me, the primary trigger is music (both audio and video). If I am listening to it, the day dreaming kicks in and it's too much to handle. As a software engineer this is a pain in the ass to say the least...

The only thing to help me was completely cutting off my triggers. I had to cut out music completely as well as remove Youtube from my workflow (no music, podcasts, passive listening, etc). I had to make additional cuts to other triggers as well... the only thing that helps is a complete cut off.

Edit: I recommend buying some ear plugs and using those instead of headphones or airpods...

I don’t want to argue about this, but I will say that I want this to be real. I want to believe. And I agree some people are too skeptical.

Not entirely like that; it's mostly fixing small edge cases when the bulk of the work has been done correctly. Think about e.g. automatic background removal from photos: most of the time you only need to introduce small corrections, instead of painstakingly tracing shapes by hand. But without these corrections the results are often slightly but visibly incorrect.
> 'sharia law, tyrants, oligarchies, theocracies, or dictatorships have ever done' have given us civilization and nearly all human progress since the dawn of time.

"Given" is a bit of a weird way to put that. We had those things not because they were the best, or were even desired, but because people accumulated power and forced those forms of government on their local populations. Maybe civilization and human progress could have gone much faster, and better, without as much death and strife, if people hadn't lived under repressive regimes for most of human history. These forms of government concentrate power among a relative, unaccountable few. I hopefully don't need to enumerate all the bad things those kinds of people often end up doing.

Western democracy has a ton of problems, certainly. And the US's practice of secretly and overtly interfering in the development of other nations nearly always ends poorly for both sides.

But I'd much rather live in a world where Western democracy exists, if the alternatives are sharia law, tyrants, oligarchies, theocracies, or dictatorships.

I’m not sure I’m brave. I deal with all kinds of mental bullshit every single day. Navigating it is as natural as breathing.

I like to compare what happened to a paint clay pot being thrown at a wall. There was no “me” anymore. Shortly after that happened, I did the obvious thing. I sat down on the floor and gathered up all of the pieces. Then I sorted through them and decided which ones I liked. Then I looked at a few other pots to fill in the gaps. Then I glued it all back together, kind of like Kintsugi.

That’s the only approach I considered. Giving up or letting someone else take responsibility never occurred to me.

As far as I am aware you need multiple magnets to make this happen, just one will cause it to "fall" off. In the video it's just one magnet, and it doesn't try to "slide" away when it's moved past the edge of the magnet. That's a strong indicator of quantum locking.

Even though children do have fewer protections from the 1st Amendment, they still are covered by the 1st Amendment in the US. I think it's very likely that a federal ban on children accessing the Internet would not survive 1st Amendment muster.

There are things we can restrict children from accessing and talking about, but it's a lot more narrow than people often suppose and most of that restriction is usually coming from private actors (particularly parents) who aren't bound by the 1st Amendment. Outside of settings like school, the government is generally not as free to impose those restrictions.

This is the definition of edgy contrarianism. They were on the forefront of enacting a new-ish system of thought into a stable and long-lasting democratic republic, the first really liberal and representative version of such.

All property rights are legal fiction, there's no "actual property rights".
