Regardless of Android or other devices like Chromebooks discussed here, I think history has proven conclusively:

Vendor's interest to sell new devices as quickly as possible, by definition does not align with users' interest to keep using a device as long as practical - or until the hardware breaks.

If devices' hardware improves fast enough, users will replace old with new by themselves. Which makes both "pure hw company" or "Apple style vertical integration" viable business models.

But in more mature market, 'old' device = good enough. Vendor wants to sell new device, user wants to keep using old device longer.

Community developed OS (with or without vendor support) fits that situation better.

I think it is pretty compelling that almost all of the people doing research into switch transformers at Google were hired into OAI. I am not sure if that is ouboicly reported but once Ghotz leaked those details about the models, I went to check where the authirs of those papers are now and.... yep

New Bob Nystrom blog post! Always going to upvote that.

More substantially, I was thinking of Typescript's control flow analysis as soon as I started reading through the "Record cases" section, I was already thinking of commenting on it, and then the next section anticipated my thoughts. I can definitely understand that being difficult to implement in the general case, but I'm curious if it'd be workable within the context of a single statement/expression. I'm envisioning something like Go's .(type) syntax. You'd probably need to restrict what would be allowed within each case branch, though, and that could get tricky and unintuitive to use.

There are plenty of open-source 3D printers but doesn't seem to be any 2D ones.

That said, I think open-source firmware for existing 2D printers would be a better idea, perhaps with a controller board to retrofit into existing mechanisms since I suspect they've heavily used crypto to lock out alternative firmware. Driving the two axes is relatively simple, but RE'ing printhead signals and driving those are probably going to be the most difficult part.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know the differences for the Costco Sony TVs?

It may have changed recently but last I knew Sony TVs had few if any ties to Sony services, come loaded with basically unchanged Google TV, and are perfectly happy to be used as fully offline "dumb" TVs. If that holds true for current Sony TVs it's hard to imagine what would be different in Costco versions.

While this comment has a snarky tone, I agree with it. We need active user numbers to determine how statistically relevant this might be.
It looks like there's a sample size minimum - I looked at the older reports as I'm looking into buying a used car, and it seems like there's a floor around 100,000 registered vehicle-years. Mazdas don't sell particularly well, so it makes sense that there are any that pass that threshold. There are Mazdas on the previous report, though - https://www.iihs.org/api/datastoredocument/status-report/pdf...
I have a different approach: I'm ok to throw away significant chunks of code as long as I have important new ideas that allow me to do more with less.

Often the problem with refactors is that don't come with enough of these new ideas , there's no real progress, it's mostly moving things around.
Mulitply that by the factor of ~50. Not all users use the feature or if they do, block same domains (our user base is very international).

Currently, I'm not convinced there is a difference. There used to be, in that some Sony TVs would require an out-of-the-box firmware update in order to enable all features, but the Costco models didn't.

But I don't think that's true with the current generation.
I reckon desktops have been dying for a long time, and I love me a good desktop.

After many years of enlightenment16 on underpowered (scavenged) computers KDE Plasma became my desktop of choice. It still is.

Nowadays it's a choice between a browser and an editor for all but multimedia editing and gaming. So emacs and firefox work really well. I still use a desktop environnment for convenient interface with system settings such as wifi networks, window placement, power management and the like, but otherwise KDE disappears into the background as it should.

But, as I explore the wonders of NixOS these settings are more and more becoming declaratively controlled by a simple collection of assci files, and it's wonderful. As soon as emacs becomes multithreaded I'm switching to EXWM. And then my desktop enviroment will be fully subsumed.

I reckon this combination will eventually become ubiquitous as everyone will become some kind of a programmer, and Richard Stallman will be proven correct.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft, will suddenly realise there is no lunch and everyone else will eat computation more happily and healthily. Though in the long run Guix will be more nutritious than NixOS.

The desktop metaphor will become a kind of ancient poetry we explore for semiotic curiosities as we forge new pathways for collaborative thinking.

And we will always deploy the lambda calculus on the Von Neumann architecture, even when quantum computing is ubiquitous, because we need metaphors, because computing will always be a kind of poetry.

So long, and thanks for all the shells.
W3Schools was essential in helping me get to where I am today. Learning HTML and PHP through it was great, my favorite feature being their "Try It Yourself" button, which opens up a sandbox where you can play around with PHP, HTML, CSS, JS etc (note it's not just client-side languages like MDN does). For beginners, this kind of thing is essential, and this was before MDN was good. And even now, I compare MDN vs. a W3Schools page, and the overall design and content is more welcoming for beginners.

As siblings have pointed out, reddit is actually popular for raising.

For me, what distinguishes it from a stereotypical "block this please" site like Pinterest is that, clunky as the UI may be, content on reddit is often relevant and well linked up with other pages on the Web.

Compare that with Pinterest which I've taken to describe as "the universal sink of the Web" because it seems to get linked to from everywhere but then it's a dead end with zero non-repost content 100% of the time.

Well actually, come to think of it, Pinterest hasn't figured much in my search results ever since I started using kagi a year or so back, and really it didn't get linked to very much from anywhere but the Google results page... Guess I'm getting my money's worth in one more way then I realized. :D

Kagi is so worth the money!
> Pre-covid the solution to this problem was (mostly) chatting over lunch.

Except that Pre-Covid, those [6 EMs spread over three different directors and 2 vps + some very senior engineers] were already probably not at the same office.

They were spread across three states, two countries, and one was a consultant from India.

This was my experience with any company bigger than about 40 people, anyways.

I bought one of these because it was like $30 and needed it to print off some stuff with color. I had immediately taken the sticker off even realizing until after the fact that they try and limit it to WiFi only. It worked immediately plugging it in to USB on my Linux laptop, so yea..

I've actually come to like Ctrl where it is on PCs. As it's in the corner, it's nice and easy to hit. I can sit my little finger on whichever one is convenient, then carry on typing much as normal, even using the same hand. Ctrl+Shift is also no problem.

Don't know what I'd put in caps lock's place. I don't actually think it's a particularly good location for a meta key. Maybe it'd be good for backspace? I don't really make enough mistakes for the current backspace location to be a problem.

On a more positive note, it used to be somewhat common for cheap no-name Android phones, mainly based on Mediatek SoCs, to boot from an internal removable microSD card, along with the "official" external removable one next to the then-standard removable battery and dual SIM slots. They disappeared rather quickly once eMMC became the norm, likely in a next revision of a reference design.

LineageOS is in the same boat as GrapheneOS in this regard.

> It’s not recommend for new code (in Apple land) and they’re already starting to make features Swift-only.

That's a real shame because FFI language bindings to Objective-C frameworks are amazingly simple to do with Objective-C. You basically create low-level C ABI bindings to objc_msgSend and about 40 other routines (e.g. class_getName). The latter bindings are principally for introspecting the class hierarchy and acquiring references to opaque class and method implementation pointers. method_getTypeEncoding returns a text-encoded type signature for a method. And objc_msgSend itself is a magical variable argument function for invoking arbitrary methods on arbitrary objects (including classes, which are objects themselves).

With that small set of C ABI bindings you can generate strongly typed bindings to all the many thousands of Objective-C framework and library interfaces, system and third-party. I did this for Lua and it works beautifully. And you can just as easily define new classes and methods and wire them up to the host language (Lua, Python, Java, Rust, etc), though I haven't needed to do that just yet. In my case this is all done dynamically at runtime, except for the ~40 required static C function bindings.

The only difficult part was binding objc_msgSend. You could use libffi, but in my case I wrote a script to statically generate a permutation of Lua/C binding functions with up to 6 arguments, any 2 of which could be doubles instead of scalars, and either a scalar or double return value. Atop those bindings sits a small Lua library which, using the other ~40 Lua/C function bindings, implements a type-safe bridge for the entire macOS Objective-C platform, GUI frameworks and all, modulo a small number of niche edge cases (e.g. IIRC there's a special Objective-C ABI for directly returning small structures which my objc_msgSend bindings don't implement, but I haven't run into those cases and my Lua bridge code would throw an error if I tried).

Because Objective-C itself uses reference counting, it plays well with any GC environment or lack thereof.

I'm sure Swift is a nice language, but there are many nice languages, and Objective-C makes language interoperability downright dreamy.
> It’s so bad that China’s courts have called for the death penalty for scientific fraud.

To add some context, the death penalty is used much more widely in China than a Westerner might realize, so to them this idea is not quite as radical as it might seem. The PRC government is a bit tight lipped about exact policies, but it's known the death penalty gets employed for things like corruption and even major economic crimes like fraud or money counterfeiting. And of course drug offenses and the violent crimes.

Definitely the best feature of Kagi! I sometimes wish there was some way to slightly adjust how this works. As I also have Wikipedia on raised priority, I'd still like some official product/company/etc. website to rank higher than the Wikipedia article of it.

Similarly, I had no idea about this feature, but I now know I want it... I think I just need it to be cheaper, maybe $5 unlimited (or enough for me, which I think is certainly higher than 300, probably higher than 1000, at least without behaviour change) and I'd be in

I assume it's a bit chicken and egg - marginal costs of new customers/extra searches is relatively low, it's the crawling & development/SRE that's expensive - so should (or at least could) come down as more people adopt it, driving further adoption from relative cheapskates like me?

It seems great, but I use DDG 'bangs' (which are also a Kagi feature) loads of times a day, rather than going directly to websites - especially !w & !wikt, !arch & !aur & !archpackages only slightly less - I'd blow through the monthly limit in no time on that alone. (Which also seems a bit unfair, they're just redirects, not using index, there's an argument they shouldn't be included? I suppose if you're so motivated you can work around by using Firefox's feature for it instead of search engine anyway.)

Edit: oh wait, I just found in the FAQ that 'bangs' actually aren't counted as searches. I may have to trial it, see how many searches I actually use how quickly. (And how reasonable the 1.5ç overage seems in my usage.)
Do you have any books you could recommend on this subject?
> This is how IT worked 40+ years ago:

It is also how it worked 20-10 years ago: it was called Terminal Services.

And then it was neglected because next shiny thing: VDI.

The thing is, one big server for a hundred office users doesn't cost much, because they are sharing the RAM. But with VDI you need at least 100 x 4Gb memory and that means you need way more than one server. And some SAN, because only SAN with fast drive can survive the morning boot storm. Oh, by the way, here are two FC SAN switches for your HA storage fabric, because you really want paths to the SAN be redundant.

But anyway, local installs are not bringing revenue constantly. But renting the services do. This was perfectly clear with AzureAD and Exchange 365.
