The biggest problem with Java is... the walled garden, the snob society, the elitist, exclusive culture.

Go isn't like that, or at least wasn't when G+ was still around.

Nowadays I don't get in touch much with people, but when I create issues Go people are usually not as unfriendly as Java/JVM people.

This. On the topic of checklists, how about compliance with not emailing me! Deliverability is one thing, but what if I truly hate being interrupted with goddam ads in my Inbox?

See, get a lot of unsolicited shitmail at work that gets through spam filters. So yay for your delivery checklist, enabling interruptions and annoyance.

Here comes the fun part. About half don’t comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. So, what do now is make my own, which is a reply with this:

“The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email and establishes requirements for commercial messages, including the right for recipients to stop receiving emails[1][2][3][4][5][6]. The Act applies to any commercial electronic message to U.S. recipients, including transactional and marketing messages[4][5]. To comply with the Act, commercial emails must provide recipients with a clear and obvious mechanism to opt-out of receiving further emails, and they cannot include misleading subject lines or inaccurate information in the header fields[4][6]. Additionally, commercial emails must include a physical mailing address in the body of the email, and an address where unsubscribe requests can be physically mailed[4]. Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $43,792, so non-compliance can be costly[4].

If they email me even once more, I now send them a bill for the minutes I was interrupted at my attorney hourly rate. If they reply they aren’t paying, then comes the violation penalty threat.

This seems like the classic trick that weather plays on people.

I'm not trying to hold Asahi Linux to any standard - I'm trying to find a single standard in which Apple's platform could be viewed as generationally stable.

If we look at M1->M2:

- It doesn't have backwards compatibility even with the manufacturer's own OS. The gap here is 2 years yet I can get farther in support than that just booting a 10 year old stock installer on my 13900k system.

- You can't natively boot launch-day Linux at all, by any means or know-how.

- Getting the kernel to boot, display output is flat impossible. The keyboard and external input doesn't work. Hardly anything just works really.

- Once you get past those kinds of base things the Wi-Fi doesn't work, any type of backlight is not adjustable, the GPU doesn't work, the speakers don't work. Some of these do just need minor tweaks to make as functional as they were on the M1, others still aren't as functionally equal to this day. Anything that might sometimes be broken on x86 is broken but it's not "some new chipsets have broken that before" or "some basic users may get a black screen and get stuck not knowing what to do" they just plain do not work at all. To get it to do so again someone needs to do 100% of the programming work needed with zero no participation from the manufacturer.

Meanwhile the basis a traditional x86 system is supposed to be no different:

- When the many year old Linux release boots, non-advanced users can sometimes end up with a black screen and not know what to do

- Certain examples of chipsets have had broken day 0 support for one of their storage protocols

- Not every operating system from 10 years ago had native support for UEFI boot

- Despite booting, lease day versions of your Linux distro may not have e.g. working graphics hardware acceleration

Next to me I have my M2 running Asahi. It's been a little over a year since the release and it's still not up to support parity of my M1 at the time of launch. Next to me I've also got a few Intel and AMD boxes, they all boot many years old Linux with more working hardware than the M2 has in Asahi to this day.

I haven't been selective on the history of x86 support but even if I was to do so and intentionally only pick every bad thing that happened in a single generation x86 upgrade, over a 5x longer period than we're looking at Apple, and put it in context of a single release to compare to the M1->M2 transition... it would arguably still have been in better shape and, at worst, have been the same. From that I cannot conclude the new Apple hardware has shown itself to be any more stable a target, if anything it's looking even worse these days.
I worked there for two years.

No they are not the most successful media business out there, and plenty of other entities were experimenting with and succeeding with paywalls long before the Times. The only reason they've benefitted in recent history was thanks to the hyper-polarization that happened after Trump's election, and they've definitely leaned into that.

Re: other opportunities, the NYTimes has been approached by multiple tech companies including AAPL under Jobs' watch. An example of big tech/media partnership working out well comes from the related Pixar magic.
Your cynicism might evaporate if you read the article carefully without jumping to conclusions and make an effort to understand some background of CF:

>“There was a lot of scepticism that this could be done,” Hadida recalls. ... The drug-discovery process required a marathon effort, testing the effects of more than one million compounds on isolated human lung cells to identify candidate drugs for clinical trials.

All of this research into these drugs was for the purpose of treating CF. They aren't developing drugs that target a CF-related protein in lung tissue to treat any other disorder. These drugs do not work on their own to any meaningful degree because protein function in the immune system is freaking complex.

Retraining proteins that are dysfunctional due to a genetic defect is not trivial stuff. They found a combo of drugs that allow a misfolding protein to function properly; two that when combined deliver the protein to the cell surface and then a third to get it to work properly once it is manipulated into the correct place.

CF also only effects a tiny percentage of the population. The only way the economics of this research makes sense is if they charge insurers a high price for it. If we don't reward this behavior, 70,000 people worldwide die at age 35 after having a medically miserable life. Instead they now have stunningly high chance of living until age 80 with significant quality of life improvement.

I think autonomy is ultimately a red herring -- what people want, crave, to feel dignified is agency. This comes in various forms but sometimes it can be as a part of a collaborative team that values their input, not just as a free-floating agent that can sweat hard and steamroll things into production.
With loading times it makes sense to require user input to confirm you're ready to play after loading is done. Otherwise you'd have to stay glued to the screen during loading so you don't miss anything.

A game like Project Zomboid has fairly significant loading times even on decent machines and you can get killed in no times if you're not paying attention. If there was no "press any key to start" after the loading screen I wouldn't be able to get a cup of coffee and instead have to sit there anxiously for 20 seconds.
It’s both things, though. You can’t maintain an archive of content without bypassing the NYT paywall. To me the actual issue is a profit-driven business producing goods of important public value. There’s an inherent contradiction in there that doesn’t seem easy to solve.
That's strange, The International is a very well known esport event, the biggest in it's hayday, it's certainly dropped off, but at one point there wasn't a way to open Steam without seeing details about the International.

While I agree with your premise, The International was heavily advertised on Steam products. Which is the biggest gaming store. Outside of that, there was minimal but anyone who watched esports saw TI stuff, it was always #1 on twitch during its week playoffs/tournament day.

I developed a breathing app (https://www.lungy.app) last year - we're actually doing a study at the moment looking at how heart rate variability changes with breathing exercises. We're using a polysomnograph for gathering the data at the moment - using a Polar H10 may be much simpler. Is it possible to get the raw ECG lead data, or is it just BPM at each time step?
So it may have limited use-cases today if you require full compat for all clients. For example internal controlled networks like discussed in the article.

Code has value over time where as NYT content does not, unless it’s to make a case why one shouldn’t put to much weight in what it publishes.

Code is facts about an organizations business. To the extent factual information is created by the NYT it most heavily skews toward sports scores and weather which is not the NYTs property to preserve.

I don’t have an issue with their paywall but I think the most valuable part about their content after a week or so is to point out how wrong they typically are. My guess is, removing the ability to call BS is the motivating factor here.

Yeah they care so much that they stopped Unity from destroying its reputation and ecosystem!

Never mind. If "the majority of the company is made of people who care about the engine" is true, it just means the majority of the company doesn't really matter. Which is, frankly, the norm for companies with more than hundreds of employees.

I suspect a lot of small shops were just toiling away trusting that when they first evaluated and decided on Unity they made the right decision. I bet less than 1% were reading ToS changes whenever they had to click the button.
Hopefully it will be easy to find good and not that expensive laptops with such chips.

Now I wish for a 100% hardware raytracing BHV... if raytracing stays around. I hope RDNA4 will do that. Because those horrible mesa RADV glsl shaders to do "soft" BHV, erk...

They should have been coded directly in SPIR-V (with a plain and simple C coded SPIR-V translater, or better, direct AMD GPU assembly code (with a plain and simple C coded AMD GPU assembler).

I’d be troubled by that if they were also taking public money to do so (ie state subsidy), but they aren’t. So what they claim is kinda meh.
MMT perspectives, considered undogmatically, help a lot in this regard, as does the colloquialism that "money only has value because people believe it does". More or less everything follows from there.
This was my standard mode for years until I had children. I remember a time I stood in the tool aisle at the hardware store considering the cheap tool and the nicer, name-brand tool, and went with what seemed to be the higher quality item because it may last to be passed down. I have many "vintage" tools in my tool boxes from my father and father-in-law that seem to be indestructible.

You're right of course, but it does so quite indirectly, frequently leaning on 2nd- and beyond order effects like incarceration rates, physics degrees, etc. It is not straightforward to connect them if you've always been steeped in the narrative America tells about itself.
> I think it’s a shame that BigTech can’t really do strategic acquisitions anymore

What's a shame is that acquisitions are allowed at all. Companies should be forced to compete, rather than agglomerating other companies so that they can leverage them to artificially increase their market share as has been done here. It's completely anti-competitive.
I'd have considered 'gank' a fairly known/used term.
And archive.is which is the one I see here the most.

Ok now I understand so many of the replies in this thread.

For anyone else reading thei who doesn’t know: Internet Archive is archive.org aka the Wayback Machine. It takes like 10 seconds to load a page but has years old versions of pages.
That's not an accurate summation of anti-copyright sentiment.

The idea is that people should be paid for the work that they do and they shouldn't be able to continue getting paid after they've completed the job. e.g. If I employ a builder to build a wall, I would expect to pay them for their time, effort and materials, but when the wall is finished, I don't want to continue paying them and their descendants.

The fundamental idea behind copyright is to provide an extra incentive to get people to create original works and in return, those works end should end up in the public domain. However, with copyright terms being so extreme, many works can disappear before they can enter the public domain which is fundamentally breaking the "contract". If a newspaper doesn't allow archiving to preserve historically interesting documents, then they shouldn't enjoy the benefits of copyright as they won't be fulfilling their side of the deal.
My thought as to why that isn't good is because the game you play to get to the International (often online and in smaller venues) is a different game than the one you would play in the finals. As a viewer, I think they should be playing a higher stakes version of the game I can play, not one with different rules because of the crowd. Either way, I don't care so much, but I fall on the side of the sound proofing being good.
These aren’t social clubs, they’re organizations of humans dedicated to building software. Telling jokes in e.g. an issue task or a project mailing list wastes everyone’s time. And why would you be having to filter in the first place?
Quoting Wikipedia, the normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F)

37 is the usual round number given for the body temperature, not 36.
These articles not only record history but create history, in part by swaying public opinion. To edit an article years later so that its not what was originally published is a disservice to historians.

> Customers don't because the IRS is ridiculous, presumably on purpose.

I have mixed feelings about the IRS too but people need to remember they are chartered to enforce the law as it is defined. The SEC and IRS has interpreted (IMO correctly) that according to current law and regulations crypto transactions are a taxable event as you describe. What you're not understanding is that many people actually appreciate this handling of crypto because of the benefit under current capital gains regulations (long-term capital gains). Another fundamental conflict in what crypto is and isn't, what the crypto community wants it to be, etc.

It's yet another one of those "crypto people don't understand the world as it is". They are trying to bend the world to them and not the other way around. It's not working and it never will. You're never going to have what is essentially product market fit if you live in an alternate universe like the crypto community.

> So it makes sense to exempt transactions below some threshold. But for this they apparently don't. Which is hard to explain outside of malice.

Contrary to popular belief in the crypto community there isn't some cabal scheming to "keep crypto down" or any such nonsense as we can see now by the traditional investment community trying to offer bitcoin ETFs, etc. It's an asset and even though the cryto community falls back to "it's about the tech", "save the world", etc in a bear market we all know they're actually all about gambling in fiat. Wait for a bull market for "have fun staying poor" and endless posts about the value in fiat to come back in full force. If anything it's just another thing to provide tax revenue to the US Treasury. They don't care what you're trading as long as you follow the tax code.

With the scheme you have described there are obvious avoision loopholes, such as people avoiding taxable events altogether by just executing all of their trades in amounts under the threshold. Then what do you do, come up with some complicated scheme to define it under total transaction amount in a year for a given entity? This will then be abused because there are all kinds of things you can do to game that. If such a legal framework were implemented I guarantee the next product from exchanges would be schemes to avoid taxation to automatically execute trades to fit your loophole.

The other issue is knock-on effects - this regulation would have to apply evenly across other asset classes as any language to specifically exempt crypto would also be nebulous and very gameable. Why should crypto have a fundamental tax advantage over other asset classes? The tax code is already a byzantine mess and this would only add to that.

> And then people say "well nobody wants to use it."

It's clear people don't want to use it, they want to gamble. There are and have been "pro-crypto" politicians but the number of voters who support this are the tiny handful of crypto zealots that don't remotely move the needle in an election. Crypto doesn't get votes because the vast majority of people see it for what it is - a toy to gamble with and once again the actual adoption numbers, demand, etc reflects that.
An early video I saw explained that with more customers they can have more base stations and more satellites. I’d imagine it’s a balancing act whilst they are growing.

Surely, coverage is top priority initially, then performance can be improved as the growth slows.
I guess the allure of physical events is twofold, to feel a connection with other fans and to feel a connection with the players. I wonder if this diminishes the latter. Maybe put the players somewhere else entirely and stream it in the form of these stage holograms.
I wouldn’t attribute this to some desire to avoid accountability to stealth edits. Sure, archiving and accountability may be lost, but this is about money.

NYT is behind a paywall. Internet Archive is a well known way to get around that paywall. Managers made a profit based decision but don’t want to confirm it, because that would make the NYT look too much like a profit driven corporation and detract from their journalistic image. But they care about the money angle way more than they care about someone knowing if they edited a section title after publishing.
From an article that is more accessible [1]:

"even though cereal sales have been dipping consistently since the early 2000s, we're still looking at a $10 billion a year industry."

"millennials are more concerned than other groups with getting sufficient protein and fiber in the morning, and they aren't likely to see cereal satisfying that need. Millennials are also the most likely age group to say that cereal just gives them a sugar rush in place of actual energy."

"As everyone who knows their cereal history can tell you, the Baby Boomers were actually the ones who first got hooked on sugary cereal as kids. The industry found a huge boon when the Greatest Generation decided to market to them using cartoon tigers and cereals that were 50 percent sugar by weight—like Sugar Smacks. So instead of blaming the generation that lost its sweet tooth, maybe the onus belongs on the people who first thought that marshmallows for breakfast was a good idea."
