> One engineer on their own can only write so much code.

My first internship, a long time ago, was making HTML websites manually. At the time JS was still young and was not widespread, but I still wrote a custom content management system that would write HTML for me... when I presented this to the people in charge, there was no interest. They didn't care I could do the work faster. They had clients, which payed them by job and not by time. This is just one example of many I experienced of how businesses are blind to how much programmers could add value to their company by simply optimizing their expertise of software engineering. Software engineers are boxed into roles where they are unable to focus on engineering only, and as a result they never achieve the technical level that will allow for domain specific innovations.

So no, engineers don't really have a limit on productivity (granted there is a cost), given that you can write code to write code. There really is no limit, we just have to look at AI.
When there's no novel natural/social/political disasters to keep everyone distracted, they run with alien stories.
The cases you are referring to are Schrems I (which cancelled the Safe Harbor transfer agreement) and II (which cancelled the Privacy Shield). But, the commission ratified a new agreement between the EU and the USA in July, the DPF. So such transfers are now possible again, without any further protections. Until Schrems III, that is.
The issue here isn't just with free users, it mainly affects users who are already paying fees to Unity

Just the day when it's no more available on apple.com cause of the iphone 15 announcement, what a coincidence
care to elaborate how is Tether a scam? is it because they earn the yield difference on user reserves while giving nothing to users? if that's so, probably due to how US law views securities. other than that, it appears as though users get exactly what they want from tether, which is: dollars

What is wrong with TOML? (2019)
This. I own one and it's sooo slow and hard to go back and forth.

To read a novel or to write some things it is nice but still so slow to find something.
They also sometimes argue for Art Deco any others. Basically anything that is the anathema of CAD-drawn monstrosity of rebar concrete sheetmetal and glass by an establishment celebrity architect with overblown ego.
Is the 12 Mini included?
The only noteworthy thing about this is the USB-C cable, and even then, Apple being Apple, they capped it for iPhone 14 at USB 2 speeds, and USB 3 for the Pro.
I periodically have that, plus regular tinnitus.

PT is the one thing so far that I haven't been able to get fixed with the four different high blood pressure medications that I'm currently on.
Let's see what would happen if for example Apple started charging $5/month or better yet per 1 use, any Apple services on all iPhones. Starting 2024.
That's where I heard about it in the first place :)
How bizarre and ivory-tower.

He defines his identity ("I am a retributivist") according to philosophical stance rather than to simply describe his beliefs ("I ascribe to retributivism").

> "To be clear, I oppose family punishment. Why? Because I am a retributivist."

That's not an explanation. The answer "I am a retributivist" does not answer "why?". The natural next question is "What led you to retributivism?"

Once your political or philosophical stance becomes your identity ("I am a conservative." "I am a progressive.") it becomes extremely difficult to accept alternative information or perspectives that might change your mind. It becomes extremely difficult to even bother justifying your stance. "I vote straight line Democrat because I am a Democrat" "I vote straight line Republican because I am a Republican"
No. Whatever it is, it is 100% guaranteed not to actually be aliens.
There are certain more 'objective' criteria used to judge wines. In fact one of the things you learn when learning to taste and judge wine is to try to separate what you like from judging if it is a well made wine.

A big one is complexity. Wines with a complex flavour profile (ie lots of different flavours) are generally judged as better than wines with a simple flavour profile. Another is length of finish. How long does a pleasant flavour linger in the mouth after swallowing. You can also judge how close the wine is to how a wine of that type is 'supposed' to taste, and how well the wine maker managed to achieve what they where trying to achieve. You might not particularly like Chianti, but you can still judge if the wine you are drinking is a really well made Chianti.

> Apple is not likely to sell USB non-conforming cables.

I remember Apple intentionally selling non-USB conforming cables for the keyboard on the early iMacs. There was a little notch in the USB cable which meant that it couldn't plug into a standard USB port. The urban legend at the time was that it also meant that they didn't have to include the USB logo on the cable, better matching Steve's aesthetic preferences.
There was an experiment back in the hazy past around that time called Entity that did something similar. It was never complete enough to be a competitor to XULRunner, but it was fascinating for two reasons:

1) You could write event handlers in multiple languages, including C. If you wrote them in C, it spawned gcc and compiled it into a library, and dynamically loaded it... The overall idea of a polyglot runtime like that was fun.

2) #1 is only really weird because this could be done at runtime. One of the demo apps was an editor for the GUI itself, where you could add buttons to the editor, then write that event handler in C, and have it compiled and loaded into the editor itself...

It was a fascinating starting point, though full of heavy duty foot guns, and I'm still sad nobody took it further.
I remember:

> It creates the file "example.com" in the same directory containing the EICAR test string. This should set off appropriate alarms

Huh, neat!
> Any open file

Any file that was opened without specifying FILE_SHARE_DELETE in the call to CreateFile[1] (the Win32 equivalent of open(2)). Unfortunately, most language runtimes that wrap CreateFile tend not to pass that flag.

I would say Bevy isn't really similar to Unity. Something like Fyrox - https://fyrox.rs/ - would be more similar. Bevy is more low level and lacks an editor (as of now, it's planned)
The main cause of heavier new cars is the weight of the batteries in EVs. If we're all going to get EVs, we're all going to put heavier cars on the road... Regarding size, my experience of UK roads and parking spaces is that the biggest issue is indeed the increased width of cars.

In any case wider roads should be built if only to accomodate decent cycle lanes, which is also something touted as the way forward.

Unity has lost $455 million dollars in the first 6 months of the fiscal year 2023. They lost $919 million in 2022. I don't think they have ever made a profit. Companies are not charities; they exist to make money, and Unity doesn't by a mile.

S22 ultra works out of box. I plugged once my phone by mistake at work to some more advanced usbc cable for connecting our HP notebooks for all data and power to their dock, and immediately colleague's massive ultrawide screen turned on and showed whole phone's display in what seemed native resolution.

It was also rotating screen as I was rotating the phone. Nothing installed nor enabled on top of default install, didnt even know it could do it.
Yeah. This bit sounds like a catch though:

As for those telephones that are already in use, Apple must adopt all necessary
corrective measures to bring the telephones into conformity as soon as possible,
otherwise, Apple will have to recall the equipment.
Maybe but, correct me if I’m wrong, temporary high blood pressure isn’t really harmful.

My understanding is that bad sleep will induce chronic stress and chronic stress will induce high blood pressure.

So yes, bad sleep will dangerously increase blood pressure but it’s not a direct effect.

(That’s my interpretation, maybe it’s false)
This (and tax subsidies) is the reason behind the proliferation of large plug-in-hybrid SUVs - being a plug-in hybrid lowers CO2 emissions (at least on paper), but in practice many/most owners will never actually charge the car, so the CO2 emissions will be even more unrealistic than they already are.

I think he's saying the lenders sell the debt portfolio for ~5 cents. It may then be realised for 7-15c by the buyer like you say.
You are basically describing what Windows has as appx/msix. The decentrialized notarization authorities are the code signing certificate providers.
This is accurate. We even underpriced the consulting and custom work. Didn't charge for project management, Product management and rarely design. Only for Dev and QA.

Every weekly the sales team had the same bigcos "in the pipeline" as six months ago and they weren't replying to emails. But you have to help us get that SOW ready by tomorrow so we can send it to them.

“One is none, two is one” when it comes to backups. If you have a service like Microsoft 365, OneDrive comes with 1TB of data and can backup photos. You can also use Google and Amazon. There’s even option like Nextcloud and Owncloud for a self hosted solution.
AFAIK in many countries there is also the double whammy of heavy electric cars eroding the roadways a lot more, but not paying for the increased maintenance costs with petrol tax.
Phones generally are "done." There's no more unidentified use case. Calling, texting, music, camera, internet - those had been around since before the smartphones.
"New", as in the last 20 years, are location-based apps (Tinder, Uber), video, and payments (NFC or biometrics + online)

There are other phone vendors, but their innovation within the last 5 years also peaks at "higher screen refresh rate" or "in-screen fingerprint reader" (which didn't solve any use case that a backside fingerprint reader couldn't also manage.)
Why would carbon dating be relevant for extra-terrestrials? Without knowing the amount of C14 in their native environment, I don't see that you have a basis on which to calculate age from the current amount of C14.

Also I'm mostly interested in emerging tech that finally makes it to market. Fundamentally different type of product, that didn't exist before & can actually be bought.

There's enough outlets on scientific discoveries & tech that's en route to commercialization (but may or may not get there. Mostly not).
They meant "free" as in speech, not beer. I.e. "the value of non-proprietary software is it won't/can't/shouldn't be able to pull this kind of shit".

Good to know!
This thread has turned into an acid test for exhibiting spectrum behaviour.

There are a few fervent voices that don't see any issue at all, neither for themselves or others around them. They're perfectly entitled to share this view, this isn't a criticism of that - it's more an interesting display of what people see as normal or acceptable.

I sit on the other side of the fence. I pay respect to the fact that in our world there are people that get upset about a simple plastic protective barrier, or someone not taking off their motorcycle helmet, or those wearing any technology that films them such as Google Glass or Snap's Spectacles, and even laws about filming others, displays or media. We have more than enough dot points to know that wearing a headset like the Apple Vision Pro in such a social setting is going to be bothersome for others (and for most, the wearer as well).

Apple needed to demonstrate the feature and did so accordingly, but just because it's Apple doesn't mean it's now socially normal. It seems clear that the primary use case will be filming spatial video on an iPhone and then using/experiencing that later. Especially as this means multiple angles can be captured spatially without special equipment.

Do the keyboard controls work for anyone else? At least for me in current Chrome, they do not seem to work as described.
I don't like combining drugs, especially something like amlodipine with Olmesartan. Individually, each drug is cheap enough and commonly stocked that I can go into most any Walgreens anywhere and get my prescriptions fulfilled. Do them as a a combo, and suddenly it can only be custom ordered and I have to wait days for it to arrive. And it's also much, much more expensive when combined.

One extra pill to take at night does not make a huge change to my nightly routine of taking all my drugs. So taking one less pill wouldn't be a huge improvement, either.

But the lack of availability and much higher cost of the combined drug means that I don't ever want to do that again.

The best part is that we can use this against people whose politics we don’t agree with. Developer says something Trumpy? Let’s make him pay! Solo developer is a trans woman? Why not shoot for bankruptcy?

I wonder if this could be used as a way to target civilians as part of a larger cyber war, like in the Ukraine conflict?
I've come to think we really should be more comfortable forking projects and keeping them small vs. adding features. E.g. consider the space of tiny to small-ish X11 menu tools. There's ratmenu, 9menu, dmenu, rofi, roughly ranged from tiny to slightly on the larger side, and I'm sure many more. If I want to add features to 9menu or ratmenu, I wouldn't add features directly to them unless it's something really minor or very generic. I'd fork them, or rewrite from scratch. Their appeal is that they're small and focused.

I'd rather have a choice of a dozen like them with slightly different feature sets that are easy to customize and tweak for my use, than one big one. Where the cutoff point is varies - I tend to find rofi a bit too big and complex, for example.
this might be a one of the great finds of all times, perhaps some indication for a Silurian hypothesis. or a sub-subterranean species with a civilisation?
Your point is absurd nonsense, at least without making any attempt to explain why/back up the claim that any significant number of people were somehow unaware of hot sauce until whatever Hot Ones is happened.

The lightning ports were so bad for this, but they were so easy to clean. Not sure how easy USB C will be to clean
Interesting. I think I agree with you. But I second guess it as well. Think about it: you might genuinely like the way these things taste. But what if your body has built up a positive association because of the way it makes you feel? Isn’t it possible that even if it were identical in taste, you’d grow indifferent unless you mix it up?

I love wine, I love the taste. But I don’t really know why I love the way it tastes.
Lightning was a very good connector when it first came around. Ever notice how the phones are showcased standing up on just the connector? Try that with micro USB.

Apple co-invented/contributed to USB-C to address their own needs, and were the first vendor to shove it down on unsuspecting Macbook users, getting rid of each and every single other kind of port.

Meanwhile they kept Lightning relevant and useful for a very long time, which I think is a good thing for a "de facto" standard. Should they have switched to USB-C earlier? Probably yes. But now is better than never (even if it's somewhat forced).
Uhm, for uninstallers? How about Windows Installer?

If you mean in other contexts... I think the point is you're not intended to be able to do this? Outside of uninstallers, running code that only exists in RAM is... the type of thing malware typically wants to do more than anything else.

But in terms of what's physically possible, I suppose there's the command prompt, PowerShell, and scheduled tasks? I'm not sure if all of those can be disabled.
Here's a couple notable examples

This doesn’t address needlessly large EVs that damage roads and are a threat to pedestrians and bicyclists. These larger EVs are also inefficient use of battery cells than they’d be in smaller vehicles. Would love to see more Mini/Smart car EVs
Stablecoins seem like the stereotypical ZIRP (zero interest rate phenomenon).

When you couldn’t get a return on deposits (or safe government debt) anyway, it didn’t seem completely crazy to park your dollars with a company that doesn’t pay interest either, but at least lets you do highly leveraged trading against hapless crypto retail investors around the world.

Now that the crypto retail boom is over and money has a price again, the notion of sending your dollars to a one-horse-show outfit like Tether or Paxos is much less appealing. They can vanish overnight and you don’t even have the $250k federal insurance like on US bank accounts.
Also, there was an article recently that (at least in US) the CO2 emission norms are not absolute but relative to car size; to the absurd point that to fit into the norms, it's easier to make the car bigger, rather than to lower the emissions of a smaller car. Hence, SUVs.
In my nation (Indonesia) the concept of "yearly flu shot" is basically non existent. So perpetual periodic booster is going to be a hard sell. Especially when the public basically declares to forget that this pandemic ever existed already.
Contrary to Hollywood stereotypes, attractiveness and IQ are extremely strongly correlated. You can find a million studies affirming this with a search - it's not controversial, though the reason for it is. For the lazy here's a random study. [1] The typical effort to dismiss it is to claim it's a bias or halo effect.

But as that paper lays out there's a really simple and logical explanation for it as well. Intelligence is highly heritable, attractiveness is highly heritable. Intelligent people are more likely to succeed making them more able to seek out other attractive/intelligent individuals, thus resulting in more attractive/intelligent offspring.

Parking issues are caused by number of vehicles on the road and lack of planning. Many roads in the UK are very narrow with narrow pavements: There is no space to 'properly' park even if all cars are small-ish.

I have rarely seen roads with parked cars blocking half the road in Europe (at least in France) whereas this is common here in the UK.

I started feeling heart flutters days after getting the vaccine. It's like the heart is strongly vibrating, trembling, jerking (nothing like a heartbeat) an lasts from a moment to ~5s. at the time. Happens frequently everyday for 1.5 years now. It's more likely to happen when I exercise (or do something that raises the heart rate), bend down, lie on the left side. Sometimes it happens when I am about to fall asleep, and repeats over and over and over again so I am left without any sleep for a few days. I got tested and was diagnosed with third degree heart block, so I need a pacemaker. I am 26 years old, not overweight nor have any bad habits / addictions, exercise(-d) regularly. It's dreadful.
And nothing hostile here, just AB testing and data.
