>There was no demand for glued-in batteries, lightbulbs that die prematurely, or SaaS.

Demand, no. That would be silly. However, there was/is a demand for lower costs, which is how every single one of these anti-consumer ideas is sold to the public, and the public is fully accepting of inferior products for (theoretically) lower prices. The irony, of course, is that lower up-front costs usually mean higher costs over time, which is exactly why companies are happy to oblige.

This is where the whole concept that China makes poor quality stuff comes from. China is fully capable of high quality manufacturing. However, most consumers prioritize cost over quality, and China is willing to do the same.
It has been around for a while.

Okay, does OpenAI sending you this work as part of your paid ChatGPT subscription constitute selling?
Ah, I see. Well, there was no /s tag, and I've seen similar views here stated seriously - that it's all the elites' fault, and if we could get rid of them, we'd have paradise. So... yes, I misunderstood.

Oh I agree, its just that Superman has always been painted as a wholesome softie only in contrast to his more brooding teammates (JLA, anything that DC has produced).

Yet, here he is in a cutesy setting where rarely anyone is brooding, and somehow it just works. It even feels more true to his character, as the lightness of his personality and others is even more contrasted to the seriousness of the situations they face (similar thematically to old school Teen Titans perhaps), and also makes the argument that Earth influenced him for the better as a child much more compelling.

The stakes are high, but goodness and strength of character prevails. Best animated version I've seen so far.
For the "coastal elite" it typically involves restricting freedoms with a sense of "knowing better".

Also I'm aware you somehow took offense to me explaining what "coastal elite" means.
Microsoft’s “request for external license” form is one page long, and has a “how much would this company cost to acquire” section. Or so I’ve heard.
Subroutine and function "dummy arguments" are basically restricted references. When analyzing data dependences in the body of a subprogram, a compiler doesn't have to worry about writes to one dummy argument affecting any reads to or writes from another dummy argument. The burden is on the programmer of a procedure's caller to ensure that any dummy argument that is modified during the call does not alias with any other dummy argument. This is the big one.

Fortran >= 90 has ALLOCATABLE variables (and now components), which are dynamically managed objects that are akin to std::unique_ptr<> or std::vector<> smart objects. A compiler can assume that an ALLOCATABLE object is free from aliasing, unlike a POINTER.

Fortran does have POINTERs, but they can only point to objects that have been explicitly tagged with the TARGET attribute. Objects that are not TARGETs are safe from aliasing with POINTERs. Fortran does still not have the concept of a pointer to immutable data.

Do any of these still yield performance advantages over C/C++? Probably not.
Sure, but how does that address what I said?

As I just argued, due diligence wouldn't have uncovered any surprises. It's merely that Elon could have used the process to ascertain what consequences the acquisition would have for his own assets (compatibility/marketing audit) and what his ideas would lead to.
I think the changed cost of money will improve this over time. It’s possible interest rates will swing back (and there is still a lot of denial about how far back) but IMO the days of throwing money at things and punting on efficiency appear to be waning.

I think you're conflating currency with interfaces to the financial system. The currency is the medium of exchange: the dollar itself. A debit card is merely a tool to transact using dollars.
Doesn't it at least seem odd that Google can't infer a road is impassable, when no vehicle it has been navigating has ever made it across the bridge in the last nine years? Seems like something that shouldn't be impossibly hard for them to figure out.

Edit: or maybe they have inferred it's impassible, but occasionally send someone that way to see if it's been fixed?
So instead of asking google or wikipedia, you ask a natural language tokenizer to break your query into several possible queries, then feed that to an LLM in order to get an essay that might answer your question.

Do I have that basically correct?

edit, 43 minutes later: the first three responders say yes. So, it's a way of increasing the verbosity and reducing the reliability of responses to search queries. Yay! Who would not want such a thing?

There used to be 4. The reason there arent more is because like all things nuclear it just costs too much.
Chris, congrats on the launch!

Just a few questions, how does this compare to Substack, Beehiiv, Mailchimp, etc, looking to create an automated newsletter, will Loops work for this usecase?
>Some of that has to do with their buy of TSMC yield on N3 and other nodes, however there is a direct business acumen in choosing to do this

That seems a little excessive. I'd say that, on the contrary, it would take a profound lack of business acumen to do otherwise in Apple's position. If you're trying to sell a premium product at that scale, what else would you do?

This is so delusional. The Eastern oblasts were prevented from declaring independence for years based on Russian pressure. Russia doesn't want Ukraine, they just don't want NATO setting up shop on their borders. The same way the US would never tolerate China setting up shop in Northern Mexico or Southern Canada. NATO has spent the years since the dissolution of the Soviet Union breaking all of their assurances to Russia that it would not expand, literally encircling them.
Everything can be a success if its the only game in town or a free option, even Javascript.

And we shouldn't conflate adoption success with design quality either.

That said, it's not like TCP is a great example of Postel's law, and surely not in the crude way it's understood and practiced by its advocates. The RFC says:

"As a simple example, consider a protocol specification that contains an enumeration of values for a particular header field -- e.g., a type field, a port number, or an error code; this enumeration must be assumed to be incomplete. Thus, if a protocol specification defines four possible error codes, the software must not break when a fifth code shows up. An undefined code might be logged (see below),
but it must not cause a failure."

Which is hardly the "anything goes" ticket people imagine it to be. E.g. TCP would still break on a badly formed header and consider it an error.

Besides, the advice is good for a transmission control protocol, especially one involving in-between nodes that will not care for the enumeration values like ports and such like the start/end nodes do, and just need to pass them through.

It's horrible for other types of software. Language parsing would be a great example where it should not be followed. And of course the most famous related shit show is HTML handling in browsers. HTML might be succesful, but it's hardly because of following the Postel principle.
Professors will do weird things if they get a chance. I know of a junior college where the intro to programming course used Fortran77 in the late 2000s. A lot of kids signed up for it because they needed a STEM elective and didn't want to take math or science.
I don't believe to have any email even associated with HN which is quite nice to be honest

My experience back in Netflix too. Elasticsearch (we didn't use the L or K) plus query engine on S3 with a catalog was more versatile and way cheaper than Splunk. Nowadays we get a slew of performant OLAP storages that can be used for log analysis as well, which further render Splunk unnecessary.

Plenty of states didn't have law enforcement powers, including the early US. Police is something that only really started showing up in the later half of the 1800s and even then only in certain places.

>the order of the key and value can be reversed

This is the case with any hash-map in any language, modulo some of them making certain keys illegal.

But "string":"string" can be reversed in pretty much any language's hash-map.

>here's no way to tell at a glance what e.g. the value associated with:bar is.

You've certainly constructed and formatted a hash-map that is a little tricky to understand, but 1> this combination of key and value types is going to be pretty rare in the wild and 2> to the extent it exists, people would format it to be easier to parse, either by adding commas or newlines.
Simple State Management for React. Using only hooks [video]
Oh... Protobuf... I had a displeasure to implement the binary encoder / decoder and IML parser. This is such a clown fiesta with so much advertising around it... I think some venerable Google's guru blessed it at some point or something like that, but when it comes down to the actual format and the tools it's like some not very bright first-second year student designed and implemented it.

So, here are just few things that made me decide once and forever never to touch this format:

* It cannot do streaming. It pretends that it can, but it cannot. The problem is that things that should be interpreted as hash-tables or call them "structs" don't require that key-value pairs have unique keys. Also, the last duplicate wins. So, unless you finished parsing all the pairs you cannot call any handlers / construct the "struct" because you don't know if you have the right values for it.

* The grammar is written by someone who... maaaay have seen a grammar... once... long time ago. It makes absolutely no sense. It was written after this mess was somehow implemented, but was never really checked. It's pure nonsense and nobody wants to fix it because nobody really knows how it's supposed to work, nor would they know how to encode in any grammar the actual behavior of the parser.

* Some details like default values for fields that aren't sent or bad (ambiguous) syntax that mixes package names and namespaces...

* Unnecessary constraints on field names that are motivated by unnecessary functionality to translate Protobuf to JSON.

* (C++-specific) the idea of adding messages together is the pinnacle of first-year C++ programmers: they must override a very commonly used operator in a way that breaks every contract that operator makes and for no gains except to confuse and to inconvenience everyone using this operator (usually, accidentally).

---

So, not surprisingly, there's another "feature" in Protobuf that needn't exist, shouldn't exist, and probably most implementations don't implement, but yee-haw! Someone did add it.

My understanding here is that the underlying problem is as follows: "messages" (the composite unit in Protobuf) don't encode their length at top-level. That's idiotic, but that's how it is. So, anyone who wants to send a sequence of messages needs to invent a tiny little bit on top of Protobuf format to tell the other end how to separate the incoming messages. Different Protobuf implementations do this differently. Some use the same encoding as Protobuf uses for varint, others use fixed-length int, some send a whole special header which, beside other things, contains the length information...

My guess is that what happened is that OP and his/her friend chanced on two implementations that didn't agree on how to separate messages sent in sequence. Quite possibly, one implementation wasn't even designed to send messages in sequence, and so had no mechanism for separating them (possibly implying that however uses the library should implement that) while the other one had some mechanism in place. -- I've been there with eg. Scala and C sending messages to each other. This is probably more common that just Scala + C.
I'm not conflating things. They're currency. I talked about this with my dad, who was head of the finance department at a college. He had a degree in economics from MIT and an MBA from Hahvahd.

I read “I do have an MBA” and thought if anything that undermines your technical opinions. Then it clicked: MacBook Air.
I am far from an expert - but think this is essentially true - but does not universally imply you can't trade on the info.

Example: You watch the front door of an office building. From seeing who walks in, you ascertain with 99% probability that companies X and Y are working on some kind of big deal. If you're just a random person with no relationship to those companies, you can trade on this information.

(Not legal advice! Don't do this unless you are sure it is OK! Which I am not!)
This is more along the lines of what I was expecting lol
It's just annoying that after decades of copyright-maximalist public policy and corporate PR, it's now time for a sensible application of copyright when it comes to this specific issue.
My understanding is that having material nonpublic information is not—in itself—enough to make a trade illegal. As long as you're a true outsider, and didn't get that info using illegal means, you can trade on it.

Maybe this whale was tracking tail numbers, drove down to the executive airport, and saw that Cisco's chief M&A guy had a huge grin on his face as he stepped onto the plane.

(Okay, I doubt that highly, but it is a scenario)
Right there with you!
that could only happen because of service reductions along routes. that gives the public fewer options for when they fly and makes them less comfortable being crammed into planes with ever tinier seats. doesn’t sound like a benefit to me.

the benefits to society is in terms of reduced fuel consumption, only because that’s directly aligned with the airline’s profits.
Since it seems like you just don't get it, let me give you an analogy that might be more accessible.

We are in a car rocketing towards a brick wall at 100 miles an hour. We can slow down gradually (controlled population decline) or we can slam into the wall (unsustainable agriculture practices turn the earth into a toilet, sudden mass starvation, civil unrest leading to the collapse of civilization).

You seem to be under the enchanted fairy tail notion that there's an exponential curve of infinite resources just awaiting the power of human cleverness to save us from this grim fate, but I'm sorry to inform you that's delusional. You can see clearly that most areas of human technology are already in the logarithmic portion of the (sigmoidal, not exponential) progress curve, and those areas that are still in the exponential phase like AI aren't going to magically transform agriculture.

Yeah, every couple of weeks Gmail asks me what browser I want to use, even though I tick “don’t ask me”. I wonder, if I selected Chrome, would it continue to pester me? Or does it only pester me because I’m not using Chrome? In any case, this is frustrating enough, let alone every time I click a link. Just let me set a default, permanently.
I have similar reasoning for not bothering to learn an FP language (I have dabbled though) and stick with imperative.
Of course not. It won't have a draconian license agreement.
People who claim a new movie ruined their childhood are just being over-dramatic, are using it as a shorthand for it destroyed a thing from their childhood, or both.

I do think, though, that sequel can make a story worse pretty easily. For example, the combined story of the Star Wars sequels, prequels, and originals is simply worse than the originals alone. When you just watched the originals, you could imagine your own Clone Wars, they could be whatever cool thing you want. Dropping neat-sounding hints and letting the audience fill in the gaps with whatever cool thing they imagine is a classic storytelling technique get a free feeling of depth. Replacing that cool thing the audience imagined with trade negotiations makes the story worse.

Similarly, character arcs are a thing. The protagonists usually win and end up in a happy place, at least in a non-grimdark universe like Star Wars. Making a sequel that says: Actually Luke Skywalker spent the rest of his life failing and ended up as a miserable old grump makes his story arc worse.

You can just watch the original movies and ignore the rest of course, it is after all fiction so getting the whole story doesn’t really matter. But these are huge releases that get lots of press, and I think it is unrealistic to expect fans to just ignore them.
Yet in typical golang fashion of not learning from previous languages, they chose to ignore this behavior, only to go back and try to fix it later.
This is the part I have been most curious about. How does the data get exfiltrated. Here is their link to explain the different levels of car connectivity.

https://privacy4cars.com/data-in-cars/p4cs-five-levels-of-ve...

According to that link, the majority of cars on the road are currently "level 1." Which can connect to phones, but cannot use them to "phone home". But that is of course changing with the cars sold today.
No one would care about Bridges 876. They would sue Strip of Land Holdings 123 as the owner of the property, and SoLH123 would have to send someone to represent them in court. If they didn't, the would loose, and then loose their land in the judgement.

Eventually the person would be made whole somehow, and the responsible person would be found.
> Unleashed from regulation, airlines devised new tactics to capture the market. American Airlines was one of the most aggressive. In the lead-up to the deregulation bills, it created discount “super saver” fares to sell off the final few remaining seats on planes.

Strategies like these are great, otherwise those empty seats just go to waste.

I consulted for an online travel company. Interestingly in source code stuff like airline tickets were collectively called “pGoods”. After a while (limited documentation) I found out the “p” stood for “perishable” which is an apt description. Of course airlines provide a service, not “goods”. — naming things.
Fair enough, like I said it looks like quality software.

Again though, I think the majority of users will either reach for something like Lima, Podman or Rancher given the history of the space. Relying on a subscription-service UI layer to use Docker is kinda redundant when everything inside is also freely available. If I was still evaluating Docker clients at-scale, I'm not sure this would make the cut.

I'll fully believe that Orbstack is superior to Docker on Mac. It's just hard to understand 'the sell' when there are so many high-quality Free alternatives. Then again, I'm the sort of Mac user who CMD+Q's whenever I read "buy me a coffee" or the like.
So hold on… butter is sold in sticks, marked in tablespoons, collected in boxes and split into cups?

This is great work, you’re a creature after my own heart!

This thing about cups is that 50g of flour = 50g of butter but 1 cup of flour does not equal 1 cup of butter. For me cups make sense for liquids but not for solids.
