If that one person does it and lets everyone use it, will they do it for free or should they charge for it, perhaps as a percentage of revenue of the developers and applications who use the code?

A lot of Norway isn’t amazingly cold compared to the interior US. Wikipedia tells me that the January mean temperatures in Chicago and Oslo are pretty similar. (Pretty confusing to read though because they each prioritize Fahrenheit and Celsius in opposite ways.)

What you would typically worry about here—unless you live in one of the frigid parts—is distance and if you have to drive over a mountain.
I love your writing. I believe the reason some people do not is because you are very precise, which means using more words. As you know, people are impatient and prefer less words unless they can see clearly how more words were necessary.

I dunno about that.

For simple stuff, sure HTML and CSS is great, but when I want something print-perfect I use LaTeX.

A simple table in LaTeX is no harder than in HTML, assuming the same level of knowledge in the tool.

But then when you throw in a simple requirement like "left margins on even pages and right margins on odd pages need to be larger", HTML becomes hell to work in.

HTML and CSS, even with a media query for print, sucks.

Used for telegraphy, too. I recommend reading "The Victorian Internet" by Tom Standage.

https://www.unicode.org/L2/Historical/Unicode-Telegraphic-Ph... is an example but from what I've read there were massive volumes that included all sorts of specific stuff.

Companies coming up with their own codes to save on telegraphy costs were cool, code books with random letters smooshed together. Obviously telegraph operators had trouble with this, reducing their pace so telegraphy companies banned usage of non-words in telegrams (more on that in the book I mentioned).
Hi sir
My guess is users would only notice if a few dozen developers were gone, and the rest of them make apps that are only a little bit better than web apps if that.

Watch and Mac are more or less failed developer platforms (how many native 3rd party apps exist for them?) yet are also both huge businesses just with Apple apps.

Yes but this is likely still better than acquiring Spirits considerable debt load etc. The most likely competitor will actually be Frontier who also made an offer on Spirit. The big players generally have the allocations they are after already, hence their position in the market being so solid.

There is a risk of the big 4 just buying the slots to tie them up though, this happens a lot in markets like Australia which have very strict arrival/departure windows but is a lesser problem in markets like the US which throttle throughput based on ATC capacity instead.
The jai, zig, etc. approach is compile-time metaprogramming; make the compiler available to program, make the build system plugging into the compiler.

Then I think you can do it. The compile-time is "a Wirth" and the runtime is "a Wirth".

You get 95% the benefits of a python, since 95% of the dynamics you want are actually just static transformations of the program.
> EVs heat their cabin more efficiently than ICEs.

Citation needed. Are EVs using different cabin heating to ICEs? My Audi will recirculate waste engine and coolant heat to the cabin for up to 20 minutes (like if you're in a grocery store) with nothing but a fan.

> They also tend to heat up faster due to not having to adjust the entire thermal mass of the engine block.

An ICE doesn't heat the engine block? Modern ICEs also use auxiliary heating on cold starts. I can have warm air out of the cabin vents within ~30s even on a 20F day (not horribly cold, granted, but I'm talking properly warm air).

I'm not sure how to explain this any clearer. I am talking about neural net compression algorithms. As in, it is literally just a neural net encoding some copyrighted work, and nothing else. It is ultimately no more intelligent than a zip file, other than the file and program are the same. You can't seriously believe that these programs allow you to avoid copyright claims, can you? Movie studios, music producers, and book publishers should just pack it in, pirates just need to switch to compressing by training a NN, and seeding those instead, and there's no legal precedence to stop them? If you do think that, do you at least understand why nobody is going to take your position seriously?

So modern day Wirth is quite different from antiquity Wirth. Java generics are quite complex they have multi hundred pages books to explain it all. Scala a really clever language, perfect for 1 line code doing 50 line equivalent of Java code. Slow compile times and immature tooling is another important feature of Scala.

At one org, we went for the highest-tier Google Drive plan (with unlimited storage), because we've had this 1% of our internal users who would really, really benefit from having it. We could only go all or nothing (and the lower tier would meet the needs of the 99%), but the cost-benefit of enabling it for everyone was still pretty good.

I suppose Apple is keeping track of these numbers as well (keep in mind they know exactly how much storage each Mac has - because you can't expand it). I am also hoping it's under intensive internal testing; the quality of their software has been going downhill for a while, no power user would ever care if they shipped another broken product.

As conspiracies become more commonplace we will see a lot more of this too.

Especially when it comes to politics. Getting people to believe obvious nonsense means that you can push lots of other further nonsense even more easily, as your mark is already captured. Remember when it was mainstream to call Obama not an actual citizen?

I fear for the US and other Western countries as we become more politically polarized. It leads to general instability and eventually really poor decisions wrecking economies. Looking at the current state of the UK is really sad, a nation that has neutered its future economy despite have a highly educated and industrious populace.

These sorts of insanities becoming mainstream has the potential to affect us all.

Thinking Out Loud About Paraphilias
I would define my standard as something achievable by mere mortals rather than 'great' if we want to say that most people are capable of learning skills/field of knowledge, say a PhD.

paradoxically, understanding this isn't rocket science, but it does require you to admit that people aren't merely blank canvases (of exactly the same material and size) to be written upon.

I wouldn't say they're blank canvases, but I would say that brains, however different they are, probably has the potential to reach a certain level of competency in any given field.

It's not like I am not acknowledging talent. On the contrary, I have experienced what 'high' talent look like in at least one field of endeavor due to how my brain is configured.
This is a kind of fear-induced approach.

I dunno. I'm not afraid of breaking /usr. If I screw up, I'll fix it. I don't screw up often enough to have to also deal with setting up backups.

Being in the storage business, I have a sense of how hard it is to have functional / useful backups, how much you need to test that the backups will actually work, that they will do what you want them to do... I.e. if you think that setting up Snapper is going to solve your problems with bad installs, you probably didn't investigate the subject in depth. It covers but one of many potential failure scenarios. Anecdotally, one of my first experiences with immutable snapshots was with Btrfs, which... actually, I don't know what happened to it beside knowing it was a software error (the physical storage outlasted Btrfs by many years). So, once upon a reboot I discovered that Btrfs simply won't mount, and then I had a week-long process of trying to understand the failure, trying to restore from snapshot etc. And, eventually, I reformatted the disk with Ext4. The data wasn't salvageable at all (layered filesystem aren't your best friend if you want to recover data...).

It's really easier for me, individually to try and deal with the consequences than to have to set up and supervise a system that might help me if I screw up.

Again, this is all said from a perspective of individual usage. I have a different approach to computers that need to be used for business / organizations. There, I think, it's justified to spend the extra effort on backups, recovery protocols, data consistency etc.

So, to rephrase: I don't think that immutable /usr doesn't have value. It's just the effort for individual users isn't justified by the value it provides to them.

Eventually these stores will fix the user experience issues (and I don't just mean the interface), and it will be much better. I tried a newer self-checkout kiosk at a store recently, and it was an improvement over the old system, but there were still a number of very obvious usability issues, unclear aspects, and annoyances that should have been fixed before the release. I expect they are planning to correct them in a software update.
Exactly! People say, "rural communities need cars". And sure, new sprawl does need cars, like whatever shat itself over the Front Range. But a lot of old towns had trains. Or stage coaches. Or, later, busses. You see this all over the Old West, and New England, and the Rust Belt. These little towns grew up before there were cars.

You still see this in rural Europe. There will be some little village in the middle of nowhere. But the shops and (now I'm picturing the north of England) a pub will all be in a cluster, and there are country lanes that you can actually walk on, and in that village center there's a bus stop, from which you can get to Carlisle or Newcastle and thence to Durham, or wherever.

Some developing countries too actually. You couldn't backpack around these places if they didn't have busses. The "third world" is often a better place to be a pedestrian than America is. Because everybody else is a pedestrian too.

America's problem is that all the private investment in railroads has been displaced by public investment in highways. It's Eisenhower's fault. It makes sense that the US would invest in dual use technologies for mechanized warfare, but it sucks to have to live with.

And now -- I like bike paths, but -- rails-to-trails efforts are just an admission of defeat. But they're what we're getting instead now.
Every rich country is currently undergoing a fertility crisis that will become an underpopulation crisis. South Korea's is particularly acute. There are various root causes and long-term fixes for this, but the only short-term fix is to open your country to immigration. This is part of why the US hasn't actually noticed its low fertility: we are a very desirable country to live in and we have legal paths to immigration that aren't predicated on signifiers of capital wealth. South Korea arguably has the desirability[0], but their immigration system is far more selective.

The kinds of optics South Korea can buy from virtue-signalling, but not actually implementing, progressive immigration policy are limited. You can't clickbait immigration law.

[0] Complicating South Korean immigration desirability are two competing factors:

- People from poorer countries tend to not be picky about what country will give them a visa, but,

- South Korea, like Japan[1] has racism and sexism problems that uniquely impacts immigrants from southeast Asia

[1] Korean and Japanese nationalists really hate it when you compare the two countries.
The appellate court affirmed the judgment by the district court, albeit while making some comments here and there.

So as it stands, the appellate court’s decision is the law of the land.

Technically, from a legal perspective, there is a small chance this changes if a case makes it way to an appellate court in a different circuit and they’re in the mood to come to a different conclusion, at which time SCOTUS might be inclined to take up that case to resolve the contradictory outcomes, but those are pretty slim for a couple of reasons.

One, it’s not likely a new case would play out outside of California, by virtue of Apple being located there.

Two, a court of appeals of a different circuit would need to be in the mood to completely disregard the 9th circuits conclusion. While technically an option, most appellate courts don’t want to contradict their sister circuit, but there are some “activist” courts out there.

Three, the outcome needs to be sufficiently different for it to cause a significant contradiction.

And lastly, the fact pattern of the new case would need to be extremely similar to the Epic v Apple case.

Fair enough! But Marx would be second.
> I'm just saying a university education is useful

Sure. I expect there is no activity you can do in life that isn't useful. But the specific claim was that universities officially vouch for a baseline knowledge for the sake of corporate hiring interest. But the larger discussion is about how universities by and large do not vouch for such things.

And why would they? That is decidedly not the business they are in. In fact, if you found yourself hiring someone out of an esteem institution who still lacks those baseline skills and you tried suing the institution for false representation I expect you would be laughed out of the courts as there is no such promise actually made.

> It is definitely a skill that you can develop over time but learning the basics and getting started debugging your code is something you can do in less than an hour.

Sure. There is no programming-related skill that you can't start with in less than an hour. The only thing that really separates a great developer and a beginner is practice, practice, practice. Same with everything in life, really. You can learn what you need know to play baseball in less than an hour, but it is still a long road to the major leagues.

However, an expectation of baseline knowledge already being present would expect that the hours were already put in. If we accept "it is easy to get started" as good enough, then who cares about the baseline knowledge?

> Whenever I hear people say they didn't learn anything useful in university i think that says a lot more about them than it does about the university.

From my vantage point it says most about neither, but about the one who has not accurately read between the lines. But anyway...

> In June, she said, police began watching Paré's Facebook page, where he regularly posted about Quebec's record-breaking forest fire season.

>..."At this point, the accused admitted he was the one who started the fires and, as his main motivation, claimed he was doing tests to find out whether the forest was really dry or not," Charron said.

Spoiler alert - they are really dry.

My father in law only finally came to believe climate change last year. He had some sickly trees on his property and he called up someone from the state forestry department. The guy came out, took a look, and had a good, long, and healthy conversation about how my FIL needed to start thinning out his trees to keep the healthy ones alive because there was just not enough water for them all anymore. Some of these trees were hundreds of years old - my FIL really took it to heart and changed his mind.

It's easy to think people are being obtuse and sticking their heads in the sand, but this was the first time someone with expertise he trusted actually came out and showed him first hand.
True. But I'd say that all that proves is that there's so much demand for not needing to own a personal automobile! And yet, cities aren't like private businesses; they don't do what's in demand. Instead of spending millions on public transportation, they spend billions on more roads to suburbs because that's what they are used to, and why the hell not? What good will come to elected officials from millions of car-free millennials streaming in from all over the country? That will just jack up rents, because, let's face it, no one city can absorb the demand anyway. My home city, Portland, put in modest light rail and painted some bike lanes, which caused some new people to move in. That pissed everyone off, and all transit development abruptly stopped. Desirable city == pissed off locals, and the locals vote!

So we have shitty apartments in Manhattan where the land is 99% of the cost and countless, cookie cutter suburban hellscapes.

This is one of the differences between the bsnes/higan family of SNES emulators and the previous generation (ZSNES/snes9x/etc). bsnes/higan and emulators derived from them managed to emulate the SNES more accurately (which required more processing power), and this allowed having fewer game-specific hacks.

Emulation benefits hugely from increases to processing power over time.
