As if Microsoft hadn't already done enough to alienate the fighting game community. A lot of fighting game players use Brook adapters and PCBs for their fightsticks/controllers. Nobody wants to buy a second $200 arcade stick just to play Killer Instinct lol. This will render those adapters useless unless Brook can figure out a way to update the firmware to fool the check. I'm pretty sure that's what they've been doing on the PS4/PS5 to bypass the 8 minute timeout.

I am personally new to the .NET world but the idea that you can mostly replace JavaScript with Blazor component is fascinating to me and I am really trying to get more into it. Also, Microsoft stuff gets a bad rep in general but .NET ecosystem is solid and I am loving it. Otherwise, I do PHP/Laravel and Go.
It's not enough that large corporations use economy of scale to undercut smaller businesses. That would generally be a good thing for consumers. Instead, we're seeing larger companies use their influence to increase regulation: a cost they can absorb that smaller businesses cannot.

We've seen this in medicine in the last 10 years. I know of no independent doctor's offices in my area. They looked at the cost to comply with electronic medical records requirements and joined a local health network.
True, and not true. It's nuanced. It depends a lot on the org.

This is an interesting perspective.

Same page, I specifically have not taken risks bc my PPO healthcare would drop out, I can jump for comp but there is a floor of safety I need to maintain. With a startup, you’re dropping comp and healthcare, which was a bridge too far.
Is this true? I'm under the impression that social media platforms can't tell the difference between looking at some content because you enjoyed it versus looking at some content because you don't like it and you're confused why it's being served to you.
I think there's also a major tax difference between subs and ads, working in the same direction.

They don't need to collect VAT on the revenue from the vast majority of ads (basically only ads bought by individuals, which can't be common). They would need to do it for the subscriptions, and the end-user pricing is with VAT included. That's going to be another 20-25% off.

It seems very plausible that they are making less profit from the subscribers than from the non-subscribers at these prices. The pricing might still be more than people are willing to pay, but it's not any kind of scam.
Modern micro services are ridiculous, with few exceptions. IIRC the original idea of micro-services was that each team in a large company should provide a documented API for the rest of the company to use instead of just a web page or a manual process. this is in contrast to their being only one development team that decides what gets worked on. Which allows individual employees to automate bigger processes that include steps outside of their own department. Somehow that changed to people spinning up containers for things that could be a function.
Totally fair desire, though some people definitely do want these to be desktop or HTPC replacements.

I'm usually more impressed with RockChip stuff anyway, though, so if the Raspberry Pi folks wanted to focus their efforts on affordable dev boards, I think there'd still be plenty of options for those who do want to play back 4k video on a monitor.
They've done an excellent job with the Pi Pico, keeping it in stock and dirt cheap. I've gotten a dozen or more of those at like $4 each. So they're still catering to the "maker" types with those.

I'm excited to get a better version of something like the Pinebook Pro someday, based on a newer SoC with more RAM and a bit more GPU power for video playback and some simpler games like Minetest and Xonotic.
I doubt this is a business decision.

Ads on Instagram and FB are not very annoying. Almost nobody will pay to get rid of them.

I think it is a way to cope with the GDPR. The GDPR says you can't offer a service in return for user data. Aka it is not allowed to say "You can't use our service unless you let us also store data unrelated to the service about you.".

But so far, there seems to be no court decision about the approach Meta is taking here. "You can't use our service unless you let us also store data unrelated to the service about your OR you pay us money".
Correct. The courts can annul a baseless termination.

But the employer can then still refuse to take the employee back. In that case the employer owes the employee 6-32 months pay in damages, and the employment contract becomes legally terminated.

Source: The Swedish law on employment protection, paragraph 39:

"Where an employer refuses to comply with a judgement by which a court has annulled a dismissal or redundancy or has declared a fixed-term contract to be of indefinite duration, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have been terminated. The employer shall pay damages to the employee for his refusal in accordance with the following provisions."

AI to Regulate Itself
> RPi has always been a somewhat incoherent product that survived because it was a below-average solution to any problem, the jack-of-all-trades for $45 (plus another $100 of accessories).

In addition to what you wrote: it also has a really good software story. Everybody's got a build for raspberry pi. Something like an odroid or banana pi or whatever has a much more "gotta handle all the builds yourself" path. The power of being the standard, I suppose.
As opposed to all those people that make similarly comfortable careers in middle and upper mgmt by identifying simple systems and complicating them beyond recognition?
I don't think the "how to make $DANGEROUS_SUBSTANCE" is any easier with AI than with a search engine. However I could see it adding risk with evasion of countermeasures: "How do I get _____ on a plane?" "How do I obtain $PRECURSOR_CHEMICAL?"
Reviewpad Is Joining Snyk: Code, Commit, Celebrate
Last time I did a survey of my peers, companies that were all in on microservices in the cloud spent about 25% of their engineering time on the support systems for microservices. That number is probably a bit lower now since there are some pretty good tools to handle a lot of the basics.

And the author sums up the advice I've been giving for a long time perfectly:

> Splitting an application into services adds a lot of complexity to the overall system. Because of that, it’s generally best to start with a monolith and split it up only when there is a good reason to do so.

And usually that good reason is that you need to optimize a particular part of the system (which often manifests as using another language) or your organization has grown such that the overhead of microservices is cheaper than the management overhead.

But some of the things in this article are not quite right.

> Nothing forbids the use of different languages, libraries, and datastores for each microservice - but doing so transforms the application into an unmaintainable mess.

You build a sidecar in a specific language, and any library you produce for others to consume is for that language/sidecar. Then you can write your service in any language you want. Chances are it will be one of a few languages anyway that have a preferred onramp (as mentioned in the article), and if it's not, then there is probably a good reason another language was chosen, assuming you have strong technical leadership.

> Unlike with a monolith, it’s much more expensive to staff each team responsible for a service with its own operations team. As a result, the team that develops a service is typically also on-call for it. This creates friction between development work and operational toll as the team needs to decide what to prioritize during each sprint.

A well run platform removes most of the ops responsibility from the team. The only thing they really have to worry about is if they have built their system in a way to handle failures well (chaos engineering to the rescue!) and if they have any runaway algorithms. Otherwise it's a good thing that they take on that ops load, because it helps them prioritize fixing things that break a lot.
Luckily, union membership is widespread in Sweden and they'll most definitely help you with this.

Fun fact: managers have their own union in Sweden as well! ("ledarna", literal translation: "leaders") And as the other commentator mentioned, you'd most probably lose your position as the company if you participate in bullying, and if your union finds out, you'll most likely get kicked out of the union as well.

The executive branch cannot just make up laws because the legislative branch is "non-functional". The executive branch merely enforces the laws.

A non-profit just created a 3D printed concrete home in Detroit. It cost over $230,000 although they expect in volume the cost would drop.

You can buy a pretty nice house in a nice neighborhood in Detroit for under $150,000 and a decent one for $75,000. Both far larger than 1,000 square feet and featuring two car garages as well. So the only market I can see for these homes is government subsidized projects.

"I dont think you are fitting in here at MegaCorp"
For some reason, most of the people I've worked with recently are either fully into monoliths or lots of fine grained, interdependent microservices.

They don't seem to understand there's a useful middleground of adding fewer, larger data services, etc. It's like SOA isn't a hot topic so people aren't aware of it.
So far the support of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Cisco/Akami have given the US government a business, intelligence, and social engineering platform the likes the world has never seen before, and still people today wildly undervalue its power in the world today.

They have effectively deplatformed Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia, put anyone but China within second reach from a mass data collection perspective, and expanded the economic hegemony of the US more deeply and completely than the military ever could.

The US is now on the verge of the second great breakthrough of mass automation of that data, intelligence and action. I am honestly shocked that this third stage of American Dominance has not be countered by any other nation save China, and even they're only defensively. America's global brain drain might have been the single most effective strategy that the planet has seen so far...

The only question is if the rest of the world is going to wake up and counter this.
I guess the GP's issue is because automated tests (and every other kind of validation) imposes architectural constraints on your system, and thus are an exception to your rule.

I don't think that rule can be applied as universally as you stated it. But then, I have never seen anybody breaking it in a bad way that did also break it in a good way, so the people that need to hear it will have no problem with the simplified version until they grow a bit.

Anyway, that problem is very general of software development methods. Almost every one of them is contextual. And people start without the maturity to discern the context from the advice, so they tend to overgeneralize what they see.
wise up, your labor as a software engineer is being exploited! we are the laborers of the 21st century, building the future.

if somebody tells you, "you're among the most privileged class of workers making a lot of money, you don't need a union," then kindly tell them to go fuck themselves.

but seriously, we are all part of the working class regardless of income bracket, and that sort of thinking is intended to drive divisions in the working class so we don't have class solidarity. if you are a software engineer working for a salary, then the "value" you produce is captured by the owning class via free market transactions paying for whatever your labor produced, and thus you have an incentive to reclaim your stolen value as a laborer.
This is known as the Hadamard product and is covered in the video.

DDoS scrubbing centers. They are still used today but add some latency and are very expensive. There are also some expensive appliances that learn legit traffic and can be put into a defense mode that drops anything it did not learn at a certain volume. CDN's have incentives to be more cost effective as they want to have your traffic 100% of the time. DDoS scrubbing centers are on-demand via BGP changes.

The author links to another article which goes into more detail on this and quotes the program committee chair:

> The academy's unwillingness to host Kaltiala and other likeminded clinicians suggests that even this moderate stance may now be a bridge too far for America's premier child psychiatry association, where even senior officials are raising concerns about ideological capture.

> AACAP has chosen "advocacy over science," Kaliebe said in an email to James McGough, who oversees conference programming, after the second two panels were nixed. In response, McGough conceded that politics likely played a role.

> "I actually share some of your concerns about AACAP ... coming down too heavily on one side of politically charged topics," McGough told Kaliebe in a May email. Decisions about conference programming, he added, are "based on input from various AACAP committees." If the gender committee is "too one sided, the program committee is in a tough spot. Our committees are considered our experts."

> The exchange illustrates how a small group of activist doctors can suppress the viewpoints of clinicians who disagree with them, creating the appearance of medical consensus where none exists.

Sure happy to: Oct 7 was a crime and the perpetrators should face justice. Hamas should immediately disarm and leave civilian areas. I don't like reactionary Islamism, I don't believe violent terror creates political progress. Fighting this war is not productive and is harming civilians. Again: you're welcome to impute whatever motives on me or others that you want, but that doesn't make them correct.

With all that said, I will also say: the presence of Hamas members in civilian areas does not give the Israeli military legal right to kill civilians. What is being done to (and has been done to for decades) the citizens of the West Bank and Gaza by the state of Israel is a crime and its perpetrators should face justice. West Bank settlers need to leave immediately and return the stolen property to its owners. The open air prison that is the West Bank should close and the rights of its occupants should be restored. War crimes don't fix war crimes.

The most direct way to stop the mass death of Palestinian civilians is for the people killing them to stop doing that. The idea that the only response to the violence of one political faction (Hamas) is greater amounts of retributive violence until conditions are met is just the “take hostages” paradigm at another scale. The fact that any attempt to move beyond that paradigm gets labeled as like “pro terrorist propaganda” is the same stupid nonsense that embroiled the US in a costly and atrocious war for 2 decades.

Not gonna happen for anything big enough like a server or laptop class of computers. There is too much gap in terms of software to justify adopting a new ISA. Also, designing those high-performance ISAs cost a lot of money, both in terms of professionals involved but also resources. Any company attempting that will need to make sure there is software to run on it and that they can make money. That is beyond the reach of a lot of companies.
Author here, I 100% agree with you. That's why I also made Sit. (https://sonnet.io/posts/sit/) as a more extreme version of this concept. Sit. is just a timer with a black screen.

PS I eat my own dogfood: I use Sit. and Ensō (enso.sonnet.io) every single morning.
I write my morning notes with Ensō and meditate with Sit. because I like how the timer works (and because I got used to it during testing:) )
