I'm still suprised that no one has made an equivalent of the old immediate mode graphics apis on top of the newer apis.

I know the old school way is very slow and limited but it's a lot more fun and easy to use then dealing with thousands of lines for a single triangle and plus by using the old school way you get to move onto other stuff instead of being stuck in the infinitely deep rabit hole of modern rendering.
Raising the Serverless Bar: Infrastructure APIs Unleash Value for Enterprises
This article about an important Supreme Court ruling in 2017 clarifies the situation:

https://consumerist.com/2017/03/22/supreme-courts-ruling-in-...

1. US copyright law prohibits "useful articles", like clothing, from being copyrighted.

2. However, as that article points out, "decorative features of a uniform should be treated like two-dimensional artwork". Look at the example on that article - it's basically some abstract stripes and triangles that were seen as deserving of copyright protection, much less than a sweatshirt with a pink "Barbie" logo in recognized font on it.

3. Beyond copyright, you can get a design patent on articles of clothing. Christian Louboutin is famous for their red soled shoes as well as their "spike" sneakers, and they're suing other companies making red-soled shoes and sneakers with spikes on them. We'll see how far they get.

In any case, my original point in posting this and the other examples is that the first comment I was replying to, at least to me anyway, was implying that the fashion industry has thrived without the need for IP protections. On the contrary, there are a TON of lawsuits in the fashion industry related to IP protections where one designer is accusing someone else of "ripping off" their designs. The mechanics may not be exactly the same as with written words but the effects are identical.

iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma automatically generate Apple ID passkeys
I think that is a pretty smart move by Apple that will further boost the passkeys adoption.
Genuine question: (tad bit lazy too) so how will this law affect individual who have Apple products? - moving forward (after a certain date) I will be able buy and install a battery in phone /laptop. Upgrade the ram/hdd/ssd etc ? Or something different?

What do you mean "can't afford to just use postgres"? I thought postgres cost per query in many cases is cheaper than competitors.
Looking forward to a future Starlink+Apple/Google collab.

Dunno what frequency this is running at, but if it’s in the 10s of GHz, I’m assuming licensing doesn’t get tooooo pricey given how problematic it is on land-to-land links.
I'm conflating my justification, yes.

My entire point was to break down your conflation that users would "lose access" to CS:GO. That is wrong, and you have not produced any evidence to contradict that. My "strawman" is not an argument at all; it's genuine shock that anyone who cares this much about auto-updates would use a Mac in the first place.
I was supposing zero hinting information would be included, so the file sizes should be perfectly normal.

Because while font glyphs/designs aren't copyrightable, I'm assuming that hinting instructions are, even if they could be reverse-engineered this way.
But why not choose a format that every device supports that is also non-proprietary?

Isn't 1.6 kW a reasonable average amount of power consumption for a home? Not peak, but average?

Yes, when I'm running my toaster or electric kettle or electric heater, my home may consume more, but I don't run those most of the time. There are even times when my home has almost no instantaneous electricity consumption.
Well, if that's true then that's insane. Why even have a scoring system out of 5 if all meaningful scoring happens in the last 0.2 of the value.
It’s more like $200-300 for the device and $5-8 per month for service these days.

Given the value in an emergency, I’d consider that fair!

And if you really only care about calling emergency services in the backcountry or at sea, you can always get a PLB (which have no recurring fees at all).
I think I work with kubernetes absolutely every day at work and it's doing just fine. I've used Nix for some builds but that's really it.
Sort of, but that’s less true than ever in an age of .net, java, and js/wasm runtimes that let you easily bridge between your project’s language and libraries written in other languages.

Standing up an established language in one of these runtimes is an upper division college level project. If you strongly felt that Algol was the clearest or most inspiring way to express your project, it’s not nearly so out of reach as it was a few decades ago.

That’s exactly why we’ve had this cambrian explosion of new and revived languages lately.
Are things really broken, or has our perception changed? Some of both, I think.

> Why are so many people jobless?

Perception -- Unemployment is lower today than in 82 of the last 94 years.

> Why are so many companies going bankrupt?

Perception -- Bankruptcies, currently around 50k companies per year, are also at historic lows. Before about 2015, 100k to 150k was the norm.

> Why so many people are homeless?

Perception -- Homelessness appears to be on the decline, having fallen from 210 per 100k population to 170 per 100k in the span of 10 years.

> Why there are so many people under mental health issues?

I have a several hypotheses on this one.

Broken -- Lifestyles in the developed world have evolved faster than our biology. Men have few paths to fulfill their drive to build and conquer. Women have few (if any) children to nurture. And children have little unsupervised play and exploration, and practically zero responsibility. These stresses push some people (e.g., the man who would build a home on the frontier but can't bear an office job) over the brink and into mental illness.

Broken -- In the past, people with severe mental illness were less likely to reproduce. Many were institutionalized, killed, or left to their own devices. This limited the proliferation of genes that code for mental illness. Now that we've spent several generations trying to keep everyone comfortably afloat, it's only natural that we see more people carrying (and expressing) genes that code for mental illness. Same principle explains the increase in other conditions that are no longer likely to be fatal: Asthma, poor eyesight, premature birth, etc.

Perception -- We diagnose more often (and for less severe cases) and the taboo against having a mental illness is lower than it used to be.
I see the point, it just clear to me that you were referring to midsummer. To me as an old Englishman a Maypole means the old celebration of spring on Mayday.

Right, you've acquired the taste. But why should people who haven't acquired the taste do this? To me seems like a mountain of unneeded complexity compared to just running a local webserver directly in a docker container with "docker run --restart always <image>".
Sure, but NASA is concerned about an emergency landing scenario on Mars. Astronauts that crash land while physically incapacitated from long duration microgravity will face near certain death.
'Human nature' is whatever people want it to be for the purpose of argument. It's a thought-terminating cliche. There isn't one single personality type, although there is some evidence to suggest that there are 4 or 5 basic ones.

If this were a legal issue it can be gotten around the same way the IBM BIOS copyright was circumvented: with a clean room reimplementation. Team A renders the text with the copyrighted font files; Team B, otherwise not in contact with Team A, scrapes Team A's text images, vectorizes them, and imports them into FontForge.
I know, right, but at least something seems different this time?

> Snapdragon X chips will use the Qualcomm Oryon CPU, which is built on the chip technology that it got when it purchased Nuvia. Founded by ex-Apple chip designers, Nuvia designed custom Arm-based chips that are expected to bring Apple silicon-like performance to PCs with improved power and efficiency.
By lifeline I don’t mean 9-1-1, but rather some basic barebones comms.

> The difference between metered plans and unlimited data is pretty small these days in my observation.

That’s if you have a competitive environment. In Canada, the cellular providers are the fixed-line internet providers and very much don’t want to tank one for the other.

(But maybe Freedom Mobile, without much of a physical wireline footprint, will pull a t-mobile and go all-in on a 5G wireless home internet plan… we can pray)
Things have shifted though. I took multi-week international trips in the 90s where no one expected to be able to reach me (especially not easily) and certainly not as a matter of routine communication. Maybe I'd send a postcard.

A lot of people today expect that most travel maintains some degree of connectivity back home, especially if something urgent/serious happens.
Why are you trying to create more noise in my home directory, your suggestion of new 'defaults' are also bad, it should be ~/.local/share/emacs/backups and ~/.local/share/emacs/autosaves
PLBs are also several hundred dollars and have an expiration date.
> It’s actually pretty cool how they’re transforming it into something a bit more than driving around in a circle for hours.

Although I think it’s great to see dirt races (I grew up watching late model dirt tracks) I disagree that the super speedways are just driving around in a circle.

One of the major factors of NASCAR was that the engines were built and tuned by the crew and the driver had to be able to push it to the limits over an extended period of time. Mistuning and/or too aggressive driving would blow the engine. The really good drivers knew when to push it over the edge for just a few moments to get advantage.

if I have 10TB of hot data, can I afford two machines with 10T of RAM each? how about 100T?

that's not really a useful metric without size/latency/etc attached to it, being cheap for 0.1qps might be fine for a YC company but that's no good for my successful company etc

Have you considered doing CloudFront --> Lambda Function URL? Would that lower your costs?
Too bad about the SIM! Good to know that AppleCare worked, thanks!
As an aside, the docs attached to the repo referenced above has the first good explanation of "joint stereo" I've ever seen. I remember seeing the "joint stereo" button on the first encoders, and nobody ever said what that actually did.
At this point it does not necessarily need to beat apple silicon to become a success. If you can get decent performance with great battery life a lot of people would become interested. A lot of developers would like an ARM64 laptop or desktop as their workstation that is not an apple device.

When looking at this though product i have to wonder for how long they will support it. When you look at their mobile releases you notice that they cut the support after a few years. They support OEM if they pay them enough money but in this case who would pay them for this support? Would a lenovo pay them to support the firmware longer? If you buy this as a first adopter you take the risks of qualcomm pulling support earlier than you would like.
If you are backdooring the hardware, then the idea would be that the data would be worth it to you. Seems like it would make it easier to compete on price, since the value dynamic is skewed
They're coming, we're building all the views!
I shouldn't even try. I'm clearly way out of my league here. Have an updoot.
I think that qualifies as "seeking it actively" though.
Thanks for sharing your concerns, Jessica, we tried to be fully transparent and share our findings with the interested audience. I have added a disclaimer that explicitly mentions the owners of the packages to avoid confusion.

- The article clearly states what entities are affected - Currents, Sorry Cypress and Deploy Sentinel; it doesn't claim those are random package authors.

- Not all the listed packages are written by the dude or written and _THEN_ forked, we provided a detailed breakdown of each package origin. For example, @deploysentinel/cypress-debugger is a completely standalone, innovative software released more than a year before Cypress Test Replay and cypress-debugger

- The article lists all the blocked packages we were able to discover. We published the full list to be totally transparent. Obviously, we create and work on cypress-related packages - e.g. a vscode extension for cypress. There was also a rename from Cypress Dashboard to Cypress Cloud. NPM lists ~1.6K packages with "cypress-" prefix. Another example: we ran a survey on a community Slack channel with ~500 members to pick a name for cypress-debugger - the options were: cypress-debugger, cypress-debug, cypress-tracer; cypress-debugger won.

An interesting experiment would be to rename those packages. Do you believe they will be unblocked?
For an actual emergency beacon you don't need a subscription. ResQLink starts at $350 and the battery lasts 5 years before it needs to be replaced. No monthly fees.
It looks like the Spanner beta dropped to the public in 2017, so < 8 years ago: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/release-notes#February...

I don't think they would've migrated again to GCP Spanner (even if it would've been a show of faith).
Take that traditional cell service provider! I hope starlink compete the heck out of them price wise

It would be nice to have that as a category on your site.
Entscheidungsproblem, the Halting problem, the total function problem, etc... typically relate to arbitrary programs.

The point being is there is no single general algorithm that can solve them.

The example you gave above is propositional logic, or zeroith order logic which is known to be decidable.

First order logic and higher order logic are not decidable.

Total functions are also not subject to the halting problem, but unfortunately finding a total function in the general case is also undecidable.

> Pirate all the lame movies you want, but please, if nothing else, pay typographers and buy direct from their foundries.

I agree in spirit, but as I wrote on my blog months ago, I just refuse to engage with an industry that had decided to adopt some of the worst licenses possible to sell their products.

Until foundries start adopting sensible licenses for webfonts I’ll just refuse to give money to them.

The 366 is for the past 12 months. If you scroll back to January (or December?), you can see the average for 2022, which it shows as 266. Perhaps 2023 has been a difficult year?

EDIT: I misunderstood the UI. If I click "6 years", it shows 301 for 2022. Also, it claims 0 consumption of nuclear, which must be wrong given the information about the nuclear plant above.
Not when they can't be trusted not to kill, harass, or beat people. And it really doesn't do us any good to go tsk-tsk after they've done so.
I think you mean "Outlook"

You might want to go more into how you don't save data so people have a very transparent understanding of this. Are you simply directly feeding input to the backed API of GPT-4 and relying on their privacy policy/no training? Does the data hit your servers, at all, ever? These are basic things I think anyone will want to know.

I occasionally get kicked down to 128 kbps for a few hours at the end of a month and a surprisingly large fraction of the internet still works.

They are targeting voice which can go really low, but a moderately optimistic ~100kps is vastly better than 0. Much below that and the number of people using it is going to drop near 0.
There isn't, but most won't nor will they fight the urge of "i wonder what's happening on XYZ, I better turn it back on!"
A company out of Victoria BC known as Larix Landscape has recently been noted by many experts that they've secretly been providing some of the best pergolas in the world without even knowing it for nearly twenty years.

A carpenter from London UK visited Victoria BC this Wednesday to find the most beautiful pergola he's ever seen sitting in a residential back yard. Stunned by what he saw, the British carpenter spoke with the Victoria family for the better part of an hour until he got the phone number for Larix Landscape and called them to praise their pergola construction.

Now people back in London are wishing Larix Landscape would move there so they can enjoy some of the best wooden pergolas in the world.
"they can probably afford to cut some fat."

I used to work there. I was appalled by how many people in the company spent company time in slack chats about controversial political issues (as if they would persuade someone with divergent values).

While I was working, I saw various slack channels filled with a constant stream of political chats. I thought "What the hell is everyone else doing while I have my head down and I am working?!"

I resigned after 3-4 months. I found it to be "clown world" inside Unity.
That still needs to be seriously, seriously reconsidered in favor of basing your game on a major engine. There's just so much tooling and workflow around the big engines. Personnel to help will also be easier to obtain.
This article captures so much of my disdain for Lewis’s kid glove treatment of SBF.

When I first heard of SBF, I found his plans to be the first trillionaire, and how he would deploy billions to save the world, it honestly sounded like narcissism. Like he was the one who was going to save the world. And this was before the scandal.

After FTX implosion, we see them living in a 38m luxury apartment on the ocean, he owns two jets, on and on. Sure he doesn’t wear a suit, he hardly lived like an EA espouses.

The way folks found it cute that he would play video games while conducting meetings or interviews? Everyone calling him a child when he is 30?

In person he must have some serious reality distorting field mojo.

Be there for your cat. Let your touch, smell, and sight be what your cat remembers as they pass.

And sit with your grief. I'm getting teary-eyed just typing this as I remember doing the same for my little Abbi, a 14-year old Shih-Tsu mutt I euthanized over a year ago. And that's ok. It's ok to be sad. You will be sad. Cry, let it come out. Ironically, you will feel better than trying to "be strong" or hold it in.
k3s users: I tried using k3s a few years back and on a fresh single node setup I was seeing ridiculous system usage with 0 deployments. Something like 20-30% cpu load. The same system with a k8s deployment using kubeadm was 3-5% without a deployment.
