But how is the input side sufficiently compatible with any state other than being alone? Voice surely does not qualify?

Even gesture control would be a tough sell, and even that only if it's not "AR, where you push buttons projected across your field of vision" but "AR, where you can do the equivalent of gamepad buttons with hand movement anywhere the device can see the hand". Voice output (earbuds) would be far too slow for that kind of interaction, because you can't skim a list. Compared to the strictly sequential nature of audio, screens are the equivalent of embarrassingly parallel.

By the way, that slowness of voice output vs screen is also what I consider the true motivation companies had for creating those essentially free voice assistants: searching for product/service on a screen, even if it's just a small handheld screen, makes you pick from a list. With voice in the other hand, going through the list is so slow and cumbersome that the chances for just picking the first, "I'm feeling lucky", are much, much bigger. The value of placement (bought directly or bought indirectly, "this must be very relevant because we know how much they can spend on our other ad services") is just so much bigger with voice. Chances are people are less likely to listen to the second hit on voice than to go to the second page on screen.

Whats the third of C minor?
It isn't d#.
Interesting point but I don't think it's that clear cut. Twitter/X seemed to increase the pace of product changes directly after laying of the majority of its employees after Elon Musk took over. Also, when Steve Jobs returned to lead apple in 1997 he fired a significant fraction of the company before starting an incredible period of innovation. So I think a lot depends on the leadership and incentive structures.
> On the other hand, I gave up some kinds of requests.

Those kinds of things seem to work absolutely flawlessly for me lately. I had similarly given up on those requests. Heck I had given up on setting timers since that just plain stopped working. A month ago or so I tried changing navigation by voice while driving and to my surprise it worked fine. Since then I've been picking up my use of the assistant more and have yet to have a miss. My main gripe is the trigger word being kinda iffy at times, but I suspect that's due to me still rocking the original pixel. As I understand it the trigger word stuff runs locally so is dependent on your hardware being good.

Would someone be kind enough to explain how a C program is structured to do asynchronous work with epoll without the use of async/await? Do you need to keep custom structures for each network socket that maintains a snapshot of the state of how things are progressing?

Thank you for your comments btw, they gave a good second perspective! From my experience doing everything you need for a heat pump to work is a great return on investment, and the carbon life cycle analysisis is beyond great.

> Explain how Bitcoin, which for the next 100 years will continue to print new coins, is attempting to replicate deflation.

The supply of bitcoins is limited. It's harder and harder to print new coins. It means that 100 years from now the new generations will have to make do with 0.0000000000000001 of a bitcoin while people who hoarded just 1 bitcoin 100 years prior would be infinitely rich.

The only incentive in bitcoin is to hold on to it as long as possible. And we've literally seen this already.
Bob Cavanaugh's case is not relevant, as he has relatively recently made these changes, and therefore isn't at equilibirium. Same goes for your third guy, the BMI is from 2004/2009, while his caloric intake is from 2019 and was after a 5 year taper (and was therefore higher in 2009).

Your first example. Pomerlau, weighed only 121 pounds - that's a BMI of 18 - and lost 5kg/year, which means that if he did eat 1200 calories, he almost certainly wasn't at equilibrium yet, either - it would take a few more years.

None of those examples really are outliers.
It's interesting that shopping malls are still very popular in other countries. Hong Kong, for instance, is practically one big mall. In, e.g., Poland, France, the Czech Republic, or Slovenia, just about every town has its own mall, and the larger cities often have malls within the tourist district itself. (e.g. this monster in the middle of Prague: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladium_(Prague) )

The decline of the mall is an American thing, and its reasons are not entirely clear. I'd say there are a few plausible contributing factors: Most other countries lack all-in-one stores like WalMart/Target. To put it gently, Americans are... well... larger than other people, and they're less likely to care about what they wear or how their clothes fit, so they're perhaps more likely to buy clothes online rather than in shops. America has a low-level crime/safety problem that most Asian/European countries do not.
Not just innovation, but layoffs are also devastating to the morale of the employees who are allowed to stay. This I feel is a factor that managers tend to grossly overlook when planning mass layoffs.
It's a fundamental Linux API for writing event loops of any kind. In addition to watching sockets, you also have eventfd (alternative to semaphores and condition variables), timerfd (timers managed by the kernel), signalfd (handle signals safely and synchronously), pidfd (handle child process events).

They allow you to handle heterogenous events inside that same loop, reducing the usage of threads.

For async disk IO, io_uring is the way to go.

IT salaries are high mostly because the people who can do the job well can also do other jobs well, so if salaries go down then people change careers. For example, most people who can do IT could also become an electrician, for which the demand is currently high.

> Also ChatGPT and other AIs increasing developers, artists, etc. productivity - so fewer people can do as much work.

This is the sort of thing that increases demand for IT. Company had 40 artists and two IT staff, now they can get by with 10 artists but three IT staff, because IT has more work to do supporting the AI stuff.

Bitcoin still is a lot more than just that
Is your assertion that 10x engineers don’t exist? Because I assure you that is false, regardless what your personal experiences may be.
Nope. Bitcoin is the thing that does the backing.

Stocks are just a weak entitlement (not ownership) to some property that will ultimately be significantly "backed" by the bitcoin on its balance sheet
However, when you look at the physics, you have to admit that the human body is just about never an isolated system. Human bodies contain more microbes than they contain cells. The microbes, share the food supply, have their own energy consumption, multiply, sometimes die, are excreted from the body dead or alive, and may influence metabolism and/or appetite and food preferences.
You need support of the miners to effect a change on bitcoin, they won't support a change which is contrary to their interests.

The 1972 UNEP First Earth Summit seems a lot more like the start of a global discussion about global warming.

Right now, if you develop something in Python, not many people complain at you, although some might say you shoulda used JS and some of them might be right....

Maybe not absolute best practice, but it's not like PHP or Ruby or Perl, where there's rarely ever any new projects everyone blogs about using them.

All the big web frameworks are still maintained, there are still new coders learning it, it's not a language that will make people be like "Oh ew, I'm not learning that language just to work on that", etc.
Ah I see. So it's just generally the "adult working parent" prime time, but you had a focus on women because they were the service's target demographic.

Companies will pinky promise that it doesn't happen, and say all kinds of things about their security polices and access controls, but spying on people's homes is basically the entire point of these devices. What else would you expect when you bug your home with an internet connected microphone from a company who makes their money collecting as much information about people as they can, especially their most private data.

They're also collecting data on children, and even targeting kids. Companies like Microsoft and Amazon have already been caught and got nothing more than slaps on the wrist, but collecting kid's data is basically inevitable when the house is bugged and kids are intentionally playing with it.

> TINA when CPI inflation (in the UK) is has been 18% in just 2 years.

The UK inflation rate was 3.9 percent in November 2023, down from 4.6 percent in the previous month. Between September 2022 and March 2023, the UK experienced seven months of double-digit inflation which peaked at 11.1 percent in October 2022. https://www.statista.com/statistics/306648/inflation-rate-co...
Worth noting that there's an equivalent of epoll on most platforms.

On Windows there's IOCP, on Mac and BSD-derivates there's kqueue, and Linux has epoll, but to a first approximation they all do basically the same thing; instead of giving you a full-sized array of "active or not" results that you have to iterate across to detect activity on each of your sockets (as you get from the standard berkeley sockets 'select' and 'poll' APIs), they only inform you about the sockets that are actually active, so you can spend less CPU time iterating through that big results array.

I can say from personal experience that when you've got a single server process that's monitoring 25,000 sockets on a Pentium Pro 200mhz box, it makes a huge difference!

I'm a little surprised (and maybe skeptical) that it'd make a noticeable difference for the much smaller number of sockets that your average web server would be using, but.. maybe?

I do something similar, depending on the project and the identity I have to use.

For local Linux projects, I have Docker images for my development environments, one per identity. So I keep my PC as minimal as I can, while the compilers, interpreters, etc, are only installed within a Docker image.

Then I go to a project's directory, run a helper command like `identity1-workspace`, and it (1) starts the Docker container for `identity1`, (2) mounts the current directory to `/workspace` within the container, and (3) also mounts some cache directories, etc.

For other hosts where I don't want to use Docker (e.g. in Raspberry Pis, or in VPS) I just have multiple users and SSH into the one I want to use.

I can do this because I just use nvim and the terminal for everything, so for me there's basically no difference between developing "natively" vs developing inside a Docker container vs developing through SSH. The only difference is whether I run the command `nvim` vs `identity1-workspace` vs `ssh identity1`[1], respectively.

All this sounds like too much work, but I'd rather use (1) Docker, or (2) `adduser` and `ssh`, because those I can do from memory and can trust to be reliable since `identity1` can't push to repos of `identity2` even by accident. In comparison, the article's `includeIf` looks like something that could easily leak an identity by accident, not to mention that I'd forget its syntax after 2 days.

[1]: Well in this case also have to then `cd somewhere ; nvim` because writing a helper for this is no big deal.
There are continuous internal wars that we don't often see. You can get a glimpse of those in most of Google's hardware products (from Pixel phones to hubs to tablets) when they seem to be randomly prioritised/de-prioritised/re-prioritised every year.

The combination of taxes, business model distribution and regulation seem to shape the incentives of gas stations to always push the edge on these kinds of products.

Vote with your labor and be willing to change immediately jobs (that is why remote is great). If you did not like what the manager said in a random meeting quit on the spot, find another job online. No more notice courtesies.

Why? Supply and demand. If there is demand then it's fine. If there isn't any thats ok as well.
Wait until your manager is laid off and you're talking to them afterward.

in my opinion, modern java's language ergonimics are good but kotlin is still far better. i didn't write much plain java in long time since having to adopt kotlin.

i love the integrated null safety / handling at a syntax level with the ? operator; optional felt clunky in comparison. lambdas plus everthing's an expression allows for concise, readable code. and i love the scope functions. i agree that extension methods may have turned out to be a footgun, but i feel like it hasn't been a huge issue in the field. it's doubtful java is able to integrate most of those ideas in a way that feels as natural.

i don't understand why the author chose to ignore android, it's an elephant in this room. as long as android doesn't drop kotlin for something else as the lingua franca of the platform it's got certain guarantees.

I love named parameters. Whenever I use Python or Swift, I hate having to come back to languages like C or Javascript that don't have them.

It just seems like such a clear win to me, that and writing long numbers like 1_000_000. So much more readable.

Why aren't these features more common? I'm a bit surprised Typescript never added them. Are they too difficult to implement in compilers/interpreters? Do they cause too many issues for interop?

I'm honestly curious. Is it just that not that many people find these features appealing?

PD: I know you can emulate named parameters using objects in JS/TS. I don't love the performance consequences of this; it's good in some situations, but terrible in others.
And how does this "active flow control" control air flow without moving parts?
One notable difference I think with many malls in Europe and other countries, compared to America, is that they tend to be integrated with the surrounding town/shopping area. They are less likely to be a standalone place you drive to. Both of the malls I grew up near were like that, you could park at the mall, then walk out of the mall into the busy high street. Rather than feeling like a completely separate entity it was a continuation that also had the food court.

I know there were big out of town malls in the UK, but going there was a special trip, and then they were always a disappointment, despite the grandeur.

Google is not sexy anymore. It's a common pattern that people join it, get frustrated and leave to do cool things somewhere else.

This is kind of silly. You probably chose to work at a company that “made billions”. You probably sought some perks related to doing so, be it remuneration, prestige, whatever. This is in part a game you choose to play, and the company that’s making billions is acting like a company that makes billions. You may in the future choose to make a different trade-off and work elsewhere? And I don’t mean some grow-or-die VC-backed startup.
