We have very very different perspectives, it is probably not worth replying.

The very fiber of my being down to my DNA is about creative energy, not consumption. I am inspired by tactile things, and things which spur certain energies. This is why I love programming, painting, etc.

Money is no issue, so there's that.

And lastly, my entire mind is a kaleidoscope of tradeoff decisions every waking second. Things like "investing the money of my tablet" I will just never do. I do not think like that. If I can have a happiness factor of 10, with the ultimate cost of not investing as some variable, and the amount of time learning about investing, and the benefit of the joy of learning things that earn me far more than investing, or starting a new company, I will always simply choose the simple answer "Just earn more." That is ultimately what it always boils down to, with my happiness and satisfaction level of life at the highest, while minimizing costs of heavy minutiae like investing. It's not that I don't like technical things, I am obsessed with them, but I can have hundred percent returns through my own companies rather than < 10% returns through investing. I'm absolutely certain this will seem like the 'wrong' perspective to others, but no one else lives in my head. For me, what is most paramount, is that I'm constantly maximizing benefits while minimizing costs, and projecting this plan forward constantly, and refining my trajectory if I see inefficiencies, or miscalculations.

Also "literally no purpose for it" is hyperbole, I obviously have some purpose for it or I wouldn't buy it. I have 20+ sketchbooks sitting next to me that I fill, and every new project or company I start/take part in which is complex, I sketch it out across multitudes of pages. I was more saying that... I have no "need" for it to replace paper, but I'm always open to trying new things that augment my experience

Me too! I think its wayyy over-hyped. The biggest challenges in software are architecture. Object boundaries. System composition.

And I'm a big believer that all the software we write today is shit. So GPT is just regurgitating bad practices.
I think later versions of Fish do support export statements. This line of code works with Fish, as well as Bash and Zsh:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/foobar/"
So the standard way that this works out is that an employee testifies that he was improving coerced to sign a card, and the company challenges the nlrb and the court reaffirms the sc decision. So this strikes me as political grandstanding at taxpayer expense; Congress needs to change the law and the nlrb doesn't have the authority to do it unilaterally

> Trying to do this Next 12 -> Next 13 upgrade is not fun

Oh, the horror!

In all seriousness, I have been at this since the late 90s. 1996 specifically when HTML/JS/CSS all became a thing. Do I want to write another complex dynamic HTML form with validation? Not really, no. I really don't enjoy it.

Do I want to upgrade this current Angular application from 16 to 17 that I lead?

Yes, I actually do.

Because I know that will keep us from falling behind, from more tech debt, from an impossible upgrade path. Am I barking orders from on-high? No, I'm not. I'll actually do it myself, because I want to make sure we are are where we need to be.

And after all these years, obviously the front-end is only the least of it. The APIs, the database, the custom hardware, the 3rd party vendors ... the ...

Anyway, burnout is real, if you are feeling it, take a step back. But otherwise, I'd say with technology, you need to care about "new" otherwise you will fall behind.
Yes, unions can be inefficient, ineffective, and even corrupt. They are democratic control over the workplace, with all the problems that brings with it. We elect plenty of shitty politicians after all. But the alternative is no chance of any power in the employment relationship. It is like saying "yeah we elected that president and they were garbage, we should really just let richest ten people in the country get together and decide who is president moving forward."

Benevolent megacorps aren't really real. When WalMart was found to be systematically underpaying and underpromoting women in their stores through rigorous statistical analysis, the CEO did interviews saying that the company needed to do better and then turned around and argued in front of the Supreme Court that all of the underpaid women couldn't count as a class for a class action suit and had their claims dismissed.
There is no "lab leak hypothesis" for COVID. There are a number of different theories, ranging from "Biden and Fauci cooked it up in a lab" to "it was accidentally released," from it being entirely natural to a bioweapon, that all get lumped together under that banner, all treated as equally credible, only having an aggressive opposition to the mainstream narrative in common. I won't say more because I'm aware of the motivated reasoning behind bringing it up.

Also, while "lab leak theory" is often brought up as an example of "the truth" being censored (despite, AFAIK, there being no concrete evidence yet supporting it) it's worth noting that alternative COVID theories were never censored in any meaningful sense, even on mainstream social media. People discussed it, kept discussing it, and discuss it still. I will say I'm confident that when the facts come out one way or another, they will come from the scientific community, not randoms on the internet.

Even if this turns out to be a case of overcorrection by social media platforms (arguably an understandable case, given how much batshit insane stuff was going around back then) it's also a counter-argument to the premise that social media platforms or "Big Tech" control "the narrative" to any significant degree, or really act as the de facto "public square."

I really wonder what would have happened in the e-ink patents didn't get locked up, and the technology had a chance to evolve for a couple more decades like LCD has.

I'm working on an e-ink theme for Obsidian[1]. So far it's working on Boox devices, but I wish I could get it running on reMarkable. I'm not as clued into the reMarkable ecosystem, does anyone know if they will eventually add an app store or better tools for developers?

To be fair, some of those frameworks were compensating for JavaScript which had real issues as a quickly-becoming-popular language.

SPAs were an answer to cross platform and device issues, given the web browser was the best cross platform piece of software used by the largest population. It made sense to try that vs making native apps on all the different platforms.

The fundamental problem in the web space spawning all of these tools has always been JavaScript’s weaknesses though.
I don't agree with your sentiment one bit but I will not try to change your mind. At the end of the day what matters is the outcome of the project for the community. So let's all take a deep breath and revisit this in a few months time.

I think this is what most fish users do. I suspect that failing to understand this is possible, due to not understanding how shebang scripts are executed by the kernel, is a major reason why bash remains popular for interactive use.
I have a similar but slightly different take on that

Instead of "As I get older, I just don't care about new technology" it's more "As I get older, I'm more skeptical of new technology"

When I was a young programmer I thought every new framework, language, innovation was amazing. These days I just look at things with a much more critical eye and a higher bar when asking the question "why does this exist?"

My general stance is that most things we are using are not ideal but are sufficient. However, most new things are not sufficiently better enough to replace what is technically sufficient enough.
What is "association by guilt"?
Doesn't the US do the same thing via destruction of certain crops? Despite water shortages in some areas, farmers are still required to destroy a percentage of their crops each year.

The US also does this via mandates of corn derived gasoline and corn subsidies. The corn industry is subsidized to an absurd degree in the US.

No, because the market would (allegedly) pay more if the option didn't exist. Which is why they're trying so hard to stop people from doing it.

iPads dominate the "premium" segment worldwide (something like 70-80% market share of tablets from US$300 - US$1000). Below that, it's all versions of Android - Apple doesn't sell non-premium tablets. Above that, Surface has meaningful share, although iPad still plays significantly.

It's bonkers to me how the whole hardware/software world seems to miss the actual best feature of e-ink: it's visible in sunlight. It chaps my ass every day that it's only possible to sit in a semi-dark room if for my working hours – during the day no less!

YES I am aware there are ways to hook an e-ink screen to my laptop. But that's such a kludge! How is it that there are so few options, how is it nobody is thinking about the health benefits of knowledge workers being able to spend half their day in the sun?

Sorry for the rant, it's just big tech brain that very few product developers think in this way. Humans are meant to be outside in the fresh air and sunshine, not locked to a damn screen all day.

And on topic of trade union: we are now 20 or 30 years beyond that point depending which treaty you take. When you integrate trade, you agree on rules. When you establish rules, you need a government body. When you govern the four freedoms, how much is left you do not govern. The deeper you integrate trade, the more it becomes a single construct/country/union.

Everything else is just not logically (take international trade agreement eg. US/EU agreements... These are pseudo laws which have such a worse standing everywhere... That is so much worse)
It doesn't generally help to think of one word as another word. That doesn't tend to work out well when trying to parse semantics.

This is more like a McDonalds franchise model where they are extracting value by forcing stores to buy amounts all mannner of services from Food to Ordering Automation along with paying a percentage of gross sales back to Corporate.

This is not going against science. Where are the peer-reviewed papers? What experiments were made? This is criticising authorities, which is the flipside of the trade off I wrote about before. Free speech working as intended. Note that no-one benefited from spreading the lab-theory, so odds are higher it should be at least allowed to enter the public discourse.
> Even something like Java had a decade of relatively inactivity, and now there are actual, relevant changes.

The key phrase for new tech is _relevant changes_. Much of the "innovation" in software is either NIH syndrome or ideological nuances that address 5% of the problem space. Or simply forgetting or not researching that people fought this problem ages ago. I know that this is HN but most ICT engineers I meet don't care a lot about the history of how we got here in the first place. Just about their puzzle here and know and latest and greatest toolkit.
Given that both of the sources he cites are infowars-level right wing rags, with headlines such as:

* Official Guidelines Reveal Anti-White Racism of Sadiq Khan’s ‘Branding’ Campaign

* How woke colonised Mexico

* No, Brexit is not the cause of our economic turmoil

It doesn't really seem worth engaging with those articles.

It’s not dystopian. You are thinking up a conspiracy based on absolutely nothing, when a far simpler and more obvious answer exists(that they decided it would make them more money), and then calling it dystopian. You’re basically saying “here’s a crazy idea that could potentially have been a motivation. Isn’t it crazy that they did that?!?”
Let’s try a couple more using your own thought process:

“McDonalds could have added child play places so that poor children would get exercise and be physically fit enough to join the military when they turn 18. Isn’t that dystopian?”

“Home builders might build homes with wood in order to remove natural resources from the planet to make Earth less of a target for alien invasion. Isn’t that dystopian?”

“Baskin Robins might have been created to make me fat. How dare they? Isn’t that dystopian?”

Vision Five 2 is moving decently fast.

The latest release handles most things without locking.

I got my 3 MMOs working on it (Java, Java+LWJGL and C+), the impressive part is both OpenGL 1 and OpenGL ES 3 work as expected, but much too slow still.

Raspberry 4 and Vision Five 2 are the contenders for relatively open and passively cooled 100% gaming.

Even if the TH1250 and RK3588 promise more juice they also consume ~10W and make more heat that in most cases require fan or very large heat sink.
Not really. It’s instead a different device offering an experience that doesn’t require a keyboard or mouse at all.
2 hours each way is indeed not a very sustainable commute. I had a 90 minute one about every other day for a bit over a year and I wouldn't have wanted to do that long-term.

However, 30 miles is significantly under the average US commuting distance. And, unless you live and work near an urban downtown, 30 miles probably doesn't get you to a lot of appropriate professional jobs. I live in an exurb outside a major metro and my (nominal) office is the nearest tech job I could physically commute to and it barely squeezes in under 30 miles.
It feels like marketing sleight-of-hand. Like "you own the house, but you have to rent the walls from us".
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think it's reasonable to ask a non-technical founder in a software startup to learn to program (basics) by going through one of the online courses and roughly understand the stack. So if the product is based on Django...either go through a Python tutorial or even better a Django one. Yes it will be strange and uncomfortable but I think it's a good idea to have this level of understanding. Understand how your technology works in general terms but specific to your product. For example if it's a web app with an API, roughly understand what happens when someone surfs to the website (request-response model, how do REST APIs work, what is a database and why is it used).

Similarly, I'd expect the technical co-founder to stay up to date on non-technical issues and bed-time read relevant marketing (or design) books and get some exposure to these things. Even more so then the reverse I'd expect a technical co-founder to jump in and do non-technical (sales) tasks if required.

Or in other words, roughly speaking...the technical co-founder should be able to make sales and the non-technical co-founder should be able to talk about the product to technical people without sounding like a fool.
Um... you might want to check your tens digit.

>It is like saying "yeah we elected that president and they were garbage, we should really just let richest ten people in the country get together and decide who is president moving forward."

I did not intend to make an anti union statement, just wanted to show how a “union” might not have the best interest of all union members in mind. Similar to how older taxpayers punt costs into future taxpayers.
I imagine the best way would be good old context based advertising. Don't advertise to women, but book banner ads on women's health websites, run preroll ads on movie reviews of romcoms, sponsor true crime podcasts and fashion influencers, run ads on the websites of "women's health" or "cosmopolitan".

That's how basically all advertisement worked until just over a decade ago, and it's how a lot of advertisement is still done today.

How can you have peer-reviewed papers about classified information? China allowed a small team to analyze a glimpse of data while leaks show that team constantly referencing the Nature editorial and "China" not allowing dissent from a natural origin conclusion. Even after the paper was published the team was scared for their careers because at any moment a whistleblower could come out.

The people who were asking for transparecy were to be dismissed by the team under the "conspiracy theorist" label.

Corporations with large legal teams are able to discourage others from experimenting in areas near expiring patents by coming up with "novel uses" and other such legal loopholes that effectively extend their patent protection despite what seem to be clear limits.

This effect in the case of eInk is clearly described by others in this thread.
Absolutely, combine this with things like AI that describe videos? We haven't even begun to milk what these LLM can offer.
