>I couldn't see a 16-32 bit story. It's like it hit the spot, and stopped growing.

And yet WDC (Bill Mensch's company post-Commodore) put out the 65816, a 16-bit expansion of the 6502 that was the core of the Super Nintendo. So it still grew even if not to 32-bit level.
>Why is there not simply some directory devoted per-app for configuration?

Because one of the key objectives of the Windows Registry is to centralize the chaos induced by programmers being programmers.

Of course, if you bothered to learn how it all works you will know each program gets its own "directory" inside the Registry. Or they should, anyway; programmers gonna be programmers.

>Of note—you can edit the linux configuration files with any editor you give a shit about, not just a one-off proprietary tool that obviously sucks ass.

You can access and modify the Registry using any of: Registry Editor, Powershell, and plain text files imported into or exported from Registry Editor.

>Why are we stuck with 1980s solutions for 2024 problems?

The only people stuck in the 80s are the FOSS neckbeards such as yourself insisting on doing things the One Holy Way(tm), which is plain text files of arbitrary formatting located and accessed in arbitrary fashion.

The Windows Registry mandates a single format and central location and access scheme, which reins in at least some of the programmer chaos.
I think you're wrong on this. How often does software get created without the creator having a primary goal in mind? How often is the main goal handling things going wrong? If I write something to build a chart out of some logs, the first, most basic thing I'm going to evaluate it on is "can it make the chart?", not "how does it handle a malformed log entry?". I will think about these things, but they're inarguably not the first thing (the happy path) I think about when I think about the purpose of the code as a whole.
This is a great story. I'm wondering how this happens. Is there something odd about the UPC for this item (missing a digit, improperly formed, etc)?

ive been doing nothing basically over december, quit a fast paced design agency working with funded startups for 4 years, got so tired I just sat through december lol, did some travel, saw family, played sports and video games etc.

now in January I narrowed down my ideas for what to do next and main one i'm focused on right now is launching a productized agency for my services - a subscription for design services for indie makers, bootstrapped companies and early stage startups mostly

i'm actively enaging with other makers on twitter and making some connections which gives me a feeling I missed when working for the agency - I build up my own assets and value over time vs exchanging hours for cash consistently.

I'm finding also there are so many ways to provide value to other people, amount of ideas i get now to solve problems i notice and directly involve me is crazy - basically daily. Never have I been more excited and calm.

sometimes you need to abstract yourself and allow to do nothing to be at your best after - I think a lot of us working with tech can relate to that.

Probably not. However, a large portions of their customers are integrating them into industrial products because of their cost-effectiveness or scalping them to sell at a markup.
Its not about open sourcing their drivers. Its about providing ANY drivers for their hardware. Also note that this was from 2012. Nowadays, they actually do provide decent closed-source drivers for Linux.

>Do Russians feel that certain rhymes are "cheap" or otherwise unworthy?

Yes. Rhyming verbs with verbs is considered so basic only novice poets do it. I'm pretty sure there are some examples of such rhymes being used in classic poetry, but they are always used in extreme moderation. This is because they are very easy to construct. So easy in fact, they are mostly not used in children's limericks.
I think you never learn programming as it becomes more of an art at the upper echelons.

For the fundamentals I would say 2 - 3 years of dedicated work is enough.

This said, the Federalists also argued that a Bill of Rights wouldn't be necessary because good governments don't infringe the rights of the people and nothing in the Constitution allowed them to.

Turns out they were wildly optimistic, like every project/ideology that relies on a unbounded set of humans to be rational, forward-thinking, altruistic, unselfish, etc. for more than a day or three for success.

I feel like my devils advocate argument was in good faith, however if it didn't come across that way, my apologies.

To answer your first question, I'd say 90mph is probably the most you'd need to use in pretty much all circumstances to safely overtake or maneuver out of a bad situation. If we need to enforce a limit, I'd be erring around that number, personally. The current 155mph limiter that we get in the EU is overkill for road cars outside of Germany, unless there's other places with unrestricted public roads.

I don't recall saying any artificial limit is less safe, I suggested a 65mph limit would be less safe.

I think parents buying a 90mph max car are doing nothing wrong, as that isn't artificially limited to 65mph and would still have the acceleration potential to move out of the way when going the speed limit, albeit slower than some higher spec'd cars would. My first car was a Mazda 2, with no limits on it. It's top speed is 106mph according to Google, and I probably saw 90 once or twice within 4 years of having it.

I'm not sure comparing what we're talking about to tractors is a fair argument - we can drive tractors on the road at 14 in the UK, they don't go on motorways, nor are they the same type of vehicle as a car. I think this goes for a bus as well, it's not only a professional vehicle, with a different class of licence, but they are significantly larger, bright colours, lots of signage stating their restrictions (at least in the UK).

Yes, if the car is only used on the 45/50mph roads then I'd agree 65mph would suffice. If the parent limited to 65, and requested their child didn't go on the highway should we start including GPS limiters as well just incase your kid thought they knew better? It seems like people can't trust their kids anyway in this discussion, as you're wanting to set a limiter on their car, so may as well include some measure to stop them even trying in the first place.

Not particularly sure of your focus on buses here, as I said they're a totally different class of vehicle and clearly don't accelerate the same as personal vehicles for many reasons. Public liability, efficiency, comfort, safety and longevity for starters, and I reckon physics probably comes into play somewhere.

The limiter can be another deterrent, or parental restriction, I just think it's a potentially dangerous one, personally.

Microsoft had extensive documentation of nearly every API they support, and some they don't. Comprehensive documentation with notes and caveats. Automatically available from their tools.

Compare, for instance, with Apples almost total non-documentation of anything. Mostly just scraped comments with arguments barely described e.g 'a string'. No notes, no architecture, nothing.

Before we lived together my wife moved into a flat and got a landline so she could get online. The phone company installed an ISDN line, great. But when they installed it they never properly explained it to her, so she was using her 56k modem on the ISDN line! I visited and saw how she was connecting, I then showed her that by plugging in the USB connection on the ISDN TA, she could get faster speed and a quicker connection. I don't think she used 128k, but single channel 64k was still a big step up for no extra cost.

> The ASUS ZenBook 14 has been tested to have about 18 hours of battery life for basic web browsing. In the same test the 2020 MacBook Air 13" only scored about 14 hours.

Because the ZenBook has a 75 Wh battery, in comparison to the MBA's 52.6 Wh battery. That's one of the reasons it's heavier, too.
I mean I think I'm sorta smart but nah I have a 0 to bootcamp success story and I studied languages at uni and didn't even pass A-level maths in high school. I did a 3 month bootcamp. I was determined to end it with a job so I studied 12 hours a day 6 days a week. By the end I couldn't walk down the road without being out of breath but I had a job. My first year of employment was terrible. I was bad at everything and my employer had agreed to take bootcampers without any preperation of how to deal with that so just kept keeping me away from tickets, stunting my growth. After I wasn't renewed I spent a further 2 months doing intense studying and portfolio building and applied for my current job. They've supported me a bit and now 8 months in I'm a pretty competent junior I'd say. I feel like this is the level I should've been at at my first job but as long as you're willing to work at shitty companies for a bit you can just go from bootcamp to employed immediately and then work up to being good from there.

Edit: Whether I'm really worth the investment to these companies is another thing. I tend to think I'm not because I do sorta suck. But in terms of whether it's possible to go that path, be constantly employed and improve in time, yes it definitely is possible.

but it should be on most of the day, for the air indoors to remain at 21C. Once stopped, the air cools off very quickly, compared to other heating methods. Underfloor heating is a best heating option in my opinion, perhaps mixed with a couple IR panels on the walls. With heatpumps it takes too long for the the warm air to descent and make legs/feet feel comfortable :(
Grocery delivery is cheaper because they save on real estate costs. (You can keep most of your stock in a warehouse with only a small area for walk-in service.)

This is already happening where I live, because it makes economic sense. (They can sell upscale and more varied groceries without paying for upscale real estate.)
And we all lose as a society, as we waste a little bit more specialization.

It's perfectly fine and valid to question the pile of JS code executing in Youtube webpages, but in this specific instance the performance issues are caused by ABP/AdBlock. The issue has been acknowledged by the developers[1]. It affects only the latest version of both blockers, not previous versions, so it makes no sense to keep speculating Google is at the root of that specific issue.

Out of curiosity I investigated these performance issues myself using profiling sessions[2] and the faulty code is definitely in the latest versions of these extensions.

Right, that's the problem: getting mainline support while the processor is still relevant rather than years after the fact... if at all.[1] Also, the bar has moved. OpenGL was good enough 10 years ago. What about OpenCL? Vulkan? NPU support? HDMI in? etc. (I'm very interested in the functionality the 3588 offers but not if that functionality is just on paper with the hope that maybe someday someone gets it working or if I need to run a cobbled together kernel build that won't see meaningful updates)

[1] There have been plenty of devices where someone was working on drivers and then the developer moved on or a new revision was released etc and the original thing never gets the support people bought it anticipating.

> The first one is to split a batch of something: there's more ways to split 12 of something than 10 of something, but you can use base 10 and still do things in batches of 12.

I think you minimize how useful that is.

If I am at the grocery store and want to figure out how much something is relative to something else, I have to divide quantity by price for two different things, which is annoying to do when you only have 1/2 and 1/5 be round numbers.

When splitting a check between people the same thing applies.

Just because we have credit cards and calculators doesn't mean these abilities aren't useful, or wouldn't have been useful for the vast majority of human existence. I mean, British money was on a 12 / 20 basis up until the 1970s, and Romans used 12 which is still present in US measures. So obviously people found it useful. It is by chance and history that we ended up basing SI units on decimals -- it could have easily been 12 if say a few French scientists who would have convinced the rest hadn't had their heads chopped during the revolution or whatever.

Having had to suffer weekly trips back and forth from my home in Dover to Calais on those monstrosities I can tell you they are the least comfortable form of transport I have ever encountered. Every trip for me was 45 mins of non-stop vomit, regardless of the weather.

I much preferred the boat even though it took several times as long. Plus, the boat had arcade machines.

Loved Calais, though. Don't know how it is now, but in the 80s it was a very quaint little French tourist town.
Cloning a style doesn't replace an artist.
the AI doesn't get things like proper lighting, emphasis, motion, perspective and, above all else, intention.

They're also not copyrightable. if you use an AI piece in your product, anyone can take it and make a competing product with the same piece or prompt chain.

They're good to replace crude doodles or making some references to have a real artist work on your idea, though. that way humans keep their jobs and machine improves the process.

Now, how do we fix this? YouTube's ad model sucks. Their algorithm sucks. Their front page sucks. They've captured a bunch of creators though so often YouTube is the only place you can find someone.

I want those creators to benefit from me viewing their videos. I want the fact that I view a video and like it to help other people find that video in their recommendations. I want an algorithm that shows me things that are interesting and relevant not one that promotes the spammiest and most ad heavy videos that barely have anything to do with my watch history.

Having an alternative front end is nice but I don't want to rob YouTube of the money they spend on hosting the videos.

So, how do we do this?

Peer to peer fails when there is little interest in something or when most people leech and it sucks for archiving old content.

Hosting it all in one place is super expensive and hard for a small group to manage without turning into YouTube.

Maybe we could find a way for the creators to host their own content and get paid when people view it while being part of a large federated network for easy discoverability?

> Small sidenote: calling your own view 'realistic' might put some people off. It sort of implies other opinions are not, you know?

I'm just countering the cynical view here; which at least puts me off. Anyway, there's always somebody that is going to disagree. To me the cynical view is historically always there and usually wrong.

I don't actually agree that AI is causing any perceived worker injustice. The US is a bit special because it generally seems be a bit different than the rest of the world in terms of a lack of worker protections. Like getting decent health insurance, job protections, and not being forced to work crazy hours just to get slightly over the poverty line. Whether you agree with that or not, a lot of that predates the whole "AI is bad" debate and is simply the result of decades long policy. Rolling back some of that or changing those policies is a different topic. IMHO that would be a good thing regardless of AI or any other transformative economic effects of other innovations.

And to counter that, I've mostly lived in places where things arguably are not that bad. People get decent insurance. They don't work crazy hours. And they mostly get paid fair wages for what they do. There are some exceptions to that of course. But people are doing pretty OK and I don't think that will change because of AI. I just don't see the need for a lot of pre-emptive measures here.

Globally, we have more people than ever and they are wealthier and more healthy than ever. Sure, there are some pretty grim outliers but that's mostly in places with despotic regimes and really crappy economies. That too is not caused or made much worse by AI.

I wonder if this is due to YouTube's www-tampering.js script, which scans the JavaScript environment for patched DOM methods and "suspicious" style / script URIs, and then collects that information into separate arrays.

It isn't entirely clear where that data's going yet, but they are definitely scanning the DOM to check for anything suspicious (read: ad-blocking) added by the user. It's worth running "ytbin.polymer.shared.lib.tampering.info()" in a YouTube tab and checking the results if you get a minute.
