It's always fascinating to me to watch companies do an acquisition of a technical stack that has no pedigree aligned with their own technical stack.

Software has shape, and if you're acquiring a stack that's wildly different from your own, there's no guarantee that integration will be particularly feasible. You may not even be acquiring the talent that would know where to start with such an integration because you never know what key pieces of the system were built ages ago by somebody who left long before acquisition was even discussed.

I've watched this happen with systems as closely aligned as two Python / JavaScript tech stacks that differed in frameworks, libraries, and wire protocol. It took something like 2 and 1/2 years past executive projections to integrate the offerings.
exactly the same setup here, but i also have paperless pointing to a mailbox that i use exclusively for sending documents to.

all works perfectly.
If you're a retributivist, you believe the point of prison is to punish the guilty. Therefore you will be uncomfortable with the idea of prison as a means to "improve society or economics".

Kant:

> [Punishment] can never be inflicted merely as a means to promote some other good for the criminal himself or for civil society. It must always be inflicted upon him only because he has committed a crime. For a human being can never be treated merely as a means to the purposes of another or be put among the objects of rights to things
I think “chosen poverty” is a fraught notion. Cultural poverty perhaps, but poverty is, according to most useful definitions, an undesirable state.
> Propaganda doesn't mean its necessarily a lie or misleading.

All marketing is inherently a lie or misleading due to inescapable conflicts of interest. They have every reason in the world to want you to believe certain stuff. Therefore you should be skeptical and disbelieve them by default.

> That does lead credibility to their claim it was a UI and procedural problem that was fixed.

I don't doubt it was. The author of the mastodon posts this thread is about made very convincing arguments as far as I'm concerned.

I disagree. I use pgAdmin all the time. It is a very decent web application for doing typical admin stuff. If you need a fully powered desktop SQL integrated development environment there are surely better options out there but that's beside the point. Also, people operating inside a heterogeneous intranet infrastructure often don't have the option to install programs. But they surely have a web browser.

I've had great luck with an Epson Workforce scanner. Originally I got it to scan ~10k family photos -- took about 1 hour and entirely smooth.

In that case I scanned to a USB drive attached to the scanner (since each photo was a separate file). For Paperless I use the Epson Smart app, scan the document with whatever settings, remove/rotate pages as needed, and then share it to Paperless with Paperless Share [0].

Many network attached scanners can scan to SMB, no device needed, but I kind of like the human-in-the-loop aspect. Since my Paperless server runs on an HDD next to the scanner I can actually hear once the file lands which is quite satisfying.

Google's problems are in leadership, planning, and prioritization. They aren't in their developer tools and technical foundation. I think there is some connection between the monorepo and aggressive deprecations, but that's not the root cause.
I'm not sure it makes sense to pin this only on AMD.

Whenever you're writing performance-critical software, you need to consider the relevant combinations of hardware + software + workload + configuration.

Sometimes a problem can be created or fixed by adjusting any one / some subset of those details.

1) You said about process but pointed to operation

2) What wrapping would you add out there? (Wrapping must be added in provider's implementations though)

3) No, user shouldn't and can't handle errors by implementing operation handler. To handle error it simply uses go's native mechanism "v, err := ... ; if err != nil", it just needs to be done once instead of doing so for every operation in the process

One service that continues to capture this really well is the AR mode of FlightRadar24.

So one interesting thing to note here, is that it appears that it was a licensing deal. Weta proper still appears to have access to thier tooling, and is isolated from unity pulling out.

The Foundry, who are a VFX based version of Adobe/Autodesk have a similar style of working, but not at such a massivly inflated scale. They negotiate license agreements to take over tools from VFX companies and extend them for sale to others. (nuke, is from Digital Domain, Mari from Weta, Katana & Flix from sony) However they never spaffed 1.6billion for a complete pipeline.

Partly because they could never raise that much cash, the market isn't anywhere big enough to support that, but also VFX pipelines are incredibly bespoke and mostly ephemeral. I'm willing to bet that most of the stuff Unity bought was glue code for getting assets in and out of off the shelf software. The rest is managing billions of versions of individual files. (Weta people, please jump in and correct me)

Sure there are special bits of rnd that allow procedural generation, or better marker->3d model tracking, but not 1.6 billion and 250 people. The "tooling" team of weta original was never more than 60 people from what I understand.
A major difference that is no longer a difference is that VFX used to be about creating visual imagery in the context of a forced perspective with live action shots mixed in.

The dynamic background technology being used now for shows like The Mandalorian and Star Trek changed the story. Now VFX teams are being asked to craft the back half of a set as a 3D model that can be blended with live action shot in front of a screen displaying that model to proper perspective based on camera position. So now they have to care about the 3D dynamics of the scene in a way they previously weren't required to... A way that video game engines have been wrestling to ground for decades.
For me the hard part was to convince myself that the distortions were actually real. I mean, on paper I could see there were distortions in my thinking, but my guts were still telling me that "those people are out there to get me".

In other words, (c)ognitive and (b)ehavioral components of CBT were contradicting each other. And that's where exposure was helpful--it allowed me to behaviorally validate that my cognitive distortions were real.

By which I mean that exposing myself to social interactions when all cells of my body wanted to escape, gradually convinced me about the things you mentioned: that the negatives are nowhere as strong and the positives are much, much higher.
> Still, I cannot imagine why anyone thought it was an acceptable risk, to use a 100% oxygen atmosphere with Apollo 1

> But what if that drive simply isn't there?

I'd argue there are always exceptions, people who have initiative and drive despite growing up in conditions that would not seem to foster them, and giving the exceptions a chance to succeed will raise the spirits and expectations of the next generation. It makes a huge difference to children to be able to point to examples they can follow, even if they're rare.

Of course you can't lean on that as your only solution. It isn't going to do much to diminish other systematic barriers, and it makes it easier for privileged people to deny the existence of barriers. Providing a little bit of opportunity and fostering the success of a few individuals doesn't give society a license to neglect other aspects of the problem.

That said, there are some good additional ideas in the post and this thread that we’ll have to consider incorporating.
Just look at the facts. russians aren't bombing civillian areas because they are legitimate targets, but because they want to and are encouraged to kill as many civillians as possible. How do you explain Bucha? Were the civillians who were shot also 'legitimate targets'? It's not 'choosing sides' and 'framing events', russia started this war and russia is the bad guy in this war. Why does anyone have to prove anything to you? It won't convince you to stop supporting russia anyway.
> That's not how publicly traded businesses are run

Can you cite how you know this is the case for all / most publically traded businesses?
Because they’re more or less universal.
Years ago, Rust's standard library used jemalloc. That decision substantially increased the minimum executable size, though. I didn't publicly complain about it back then (as far as I can recall), but perhaps others did. So the Rust library team switched to using the OS's allocator by default.

Maybe using an alternative allocator only solves the problem by accident and there's another way to solve it intentionally; I don't yet fully understand the problem. My point is that using a different allocator by default was already tried.

Matrix is fully open [0] and fully spec'd by the MSCs [1], and stewarded by the Matrix Foundation [2].

2/5 people on the board work for Element [2].

> and the blockchain protocol (yes, it uses a blockchain)

It does not use a blockchain (there is no proof-of-anything). You might be confusing blockchains with Merkle Trees, but in that case you'd also have to think git is a blockchain.

> is complicated enough to prevent independent reimplementations

There are several independent client [3] and server [4] implementations.

> Because if so this is outrageous, calls do not cost that much to make

About 15 years ago, phone companies (both mobile and landline) essentially switched to being internet providers with phone service on the side, and when that happened, you stopped being charged for individual calls (within the US at least). Before the trend to unlimited phone calls, the typical rate for a phone call was roughly in a $0.10/min region.

In that light, it's less that prisons charge outrageous amounts of money for a phone call and more that they're only people who are providing phone service that's not a side project of internet service.
I love it. Apologies if you didn't mean it this way, but given the usual context of this forum, the insinuation here is so clever: Imply that it takes significantly more "compute" costs for a Rails platform, as opposed to what it would take if it were running on something "more performant," say, Java, and the JS front end flavor of the week.

I would argue that the computing costs of any computing endeavor (short of AI, at this point) are dwarfed by the human costs, and my personal experience is that Ruby/Rails is at least a 10x headcount savings over the programmer sprawl required for Java/JS.

Java and JS sure are good for job security. I'll give them that. Throw in an unequivocal demand for Oracle, and Cisco networking gear, and you have the whole Fortune 500 world that got dumped on us from the people who couldn't manage the mainframes, either.

Yeah this has been a thing since computers.

I had a lock feature in a distributed-client cache back in the day. You could lock in some tool file etc that you used frequently, so performance would be stable over some long operation e.g. a build.

I always wondered if people were really any better at choosing, than my cache algorithm. Hard to say. Can't really take statistics, because you can't measure the pattern they didn't use!
When I see demos like this I think of William Gibson who said "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."

There's still a large difference. The Afghan government collapsed. The Afghan people, presumably, did not fear for their lives enough to stand up to the Taliban. Biden said "American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves."

This is not about Israel protecting someone else. This is about physically protecting our home. We do this or we die.

Hamas rockets have the range to reach about 80% of Israel's population. They've shown willingness to amass and fire them in large numbers. It's not a question of "if", but "when". Again, would you sit and wait?
There have been only 5 "former Captain of the USS Zumwalt". That is a very small subset of humans. There have been more humans walking on the moon than former Captains of the USS Zumwalt.

The only reason resouces have to be "allocated" to begin with is because of scarcity. There's not enough for everybody. That's what economies are: a system to decide who gets access to scarce resources. Were it not for scarcity, there would be no need to economize.

I oppose fundamentally dystopian stuff like artificial scarcity. Completely made up stuff like intellectual property doesn't belong in the 21st century. However, the same logic cannot be applied to the physical world where everything is finite and therefore truly scarce. That will continue to be true until someone invents Star Trek replicators.

I agree, those benefits are easily obtainable elsewhere.
I do like the automatic 0% interest on all Apple purchases. Not that I need it but it’s nice to keep the money if there is no reason to pay all upfront.

Everybody mentions the positive features about Apple Card, but I’d like to point out that besides the really good cash back, the card is quite bare bones. No extended/doubled warranty on purchases, no purchase return protection, no device drop protection..

Because architecture astronauts[0] are every employers' worst nightmare

As jdwyah[1] said[2], there is a HUGE difference between "here is what academia thinks architecture should be..." and "in the Real World™, here are a few ways we can architect this..."

I had the ... umm ... 'privilege' to guest in a friend's class several years ago on software architecture from a "pure engineering" perspective (whatever that was supposed to mean). He was pursuing an MS in CS (and, ftr, has done quite well for himself in the Real World™ (mostly by ignoring academia)), and had to take this "pure" architecture class during his time at the university he was attending.

His "professor" (a recently-minted PhD who had not even spent so long as a summer internship out of the ivory towers of academia) was pontificating on how software should be written the day I was visiting.

She asked me, being the Guest of the Day™, how what she said stacked-up against an honest-to-God, publicly-traded software company. Pretty sure she expected me to say something like, "we aim for those goals, but sometimes miss". Instead, I answered the class honestly: "none of what she said matters if you cannot deliver a security fix, or patch, or new version to your customers in the next few days - they do not care about you, and will leave for someone who will do what they want".
