There really is very little excuse for it, throttling is built right into the dev tools of both Chromium and Firefox, it's a couple of clicks away. It's as important as cross browser testing and easier to do.

Another thing I've noticed a lot of sites are very poorly optimised for is latency. HTTP 1.1 is already poor in this regard due to the number of round trips required for setup, and when you start chaining these together latency becomes highly magnified, especially if they aren't on the same domain and you need a whole new HTTP setup for each step in the chain. Even with HTTP 1.1 this can be minimised by looking at the chain of requests and reorganising them to be less dependent on each other.

When your latency is in the single digits and it get's multiplied by 10, that's at most 100ms, now go to mobile and it's 400ms, now in the worst case a low bandwidth connection like ADSL (which will affect latency when the weight of each request is high) or a distant connection on a different continent and you can easily get into 10s of seconds.

I find this one the most annoying because the fundamental problem is poor utilisation of the connection, they don't even need to change the size of the payload, there are simply long periods when the browser is waiting to find out what to do next and the connection is mostly idle.
Hopefully it has a lot of local storage. I don't see you watching 8K movies on in-flight Wifi...

Everyone working this space should include the following in their headers:

* A declaration that no content copyrighted by the hardware vendor is in the codebase

* The code cannot be classified as a DMCA circumvention device as it does not provide
access to copyrighted works

* An assertion that the RE activities are protected under US fair use doctrine for the
purposes of hardware interoperability (even if not a US citizen)

* Any potential trade secrets were discovered independently through the RE process

This will deflate their legal team's attempts to exploit common ignorance when the code is admitted as evidence.
This is really normal for most small companies with good security posture, honestly. The company will pick one platform where endpoint management is functional, and require it. Code and secrets can't live on machines without endpoint management.

If the productivity/hiring/morale hit from requiring one platform becomes too great, then they'll get IT to figure out how to manage other kinds of endpoints. But in a small company, trying to manage disparate endpoints across multiple OSes is hard and expensive, but allowing corporate secrets on unmanaged endpoints is also a bad idea. So, this is the trade-off.

> suddenly

That part is completely how the US process works. First, cases rarely make it to the supreme court without being tested here and there before (so, it's not suddenly). Second in the US "someone" has to bring a case but their role is largely a placeholder (a few fishing companies works fine if their case is a clean illustration of the problem). Third this is a major decision - whether to use this way of doing things or that - it was at the time and it is now so yeah if the court changes its mind (which it has to be able to do), then that changes how things work. Nothing extraordinary there but the US system in operation.
It's still a problem for Barker, and I don't want at all to discount that his situation is unjust. However, the non-conviction records will not necessarily show up on his report. If the employer requests the base level of a background check, the records will not show up. If the employer instead requests a more in-depth check (a PIC), the records may or may not show up.

Not all employers would request the more in-depth check. Barker is therefore not at a disadvantage for all jobs for a non-convicted charge, but it is completely unjust that he can potentially be at a disadvantage for a fair number of jobs.

Barker deserves recourse and more awareness of his case. But at the same time, the potential impression that any Canadian resident that is charged-but-not-convicted will have a publicly-available record that bars them from work, is not a correct one.

Myanmar has the most bountiful gem mines in the world. I visited in 2019 and there were many shops with piles of ruby, jade, sapphire, even amber. They're already pretty specialized in mining and have little qualms about razing mining areas so would be able to take quick advantage - if their civil conflict allows.
Considering you have Mantine forked on your linked GitHub, you aren't going to great lengths to hide who you are directing this at, so to me it appears like slander.
But the article isn't just saying which is better (though I realize the article is meant as a sales pitch, so there's some of that), it's explaining what the differences are. I can't claim any sort of expertise in video codecs and file formats, but I'm guessing that one is a codec and the other is a file format that wraps the codec. If that's true, then I would say that a similar comparison between the two is also valid.

Also, as someone who chooses between Parquet and Delta on a fairly regular basis, I can say from experience that there are as many situations where both are viable options than there are situations where such a comparison is invalid. So, it's hardly an apples to oranges comparison. At worst it's maybe a pomelos to oranges comparison.

I think the hidden perk of being in a social group that automatically makes 99% of people consider you low status (in my case transgender), is that you stop caring about it quite fast and learn to embrace this status limbo. This allowed me to take on more risk and not care so much about the social consequences of not being employed for a while, or emigrating to a foreign country.
All depends on the viewing distance. It can probably simulate a 4K display with you face very close to it. Or a 1000m wide 4K display 100m away from you. But in both cases you'll have to look around a lot to see the whole thing.

A realistic case for a monitor would be a viewing distance about equal to the width of the screen, so taking up only about 50 degrees of horizontal FOV, with the whole screen in your field of view.

There's no way it'll be able to render every pixel of a 4K virtual screen in those conditions. I'd be surprised if it looks as good as a 1080p screen, when you consider the resampling from the pixel grid of the virtual screen to the final output on the headset screen.

(I guess you could argue that rendering 2 views gives an element of supersampling, though?)

There’s really 3 distinct numbers that are all useful today.

“Charge” = total energy which is useful for charging but not specific route planning.

“Range” = charge * temperature which is a useful benchmark for known trips and drivers. The specific number isn’t as important vs knowing you can do regular trips between known locations in X units. ie you can commute 4 more days without charging.

“Remaining charge at destination” = most accurate route planning but requires a specific route and external temperature.

For the curious, the article is talking about crash data from hertz and its electric rental fleet.

I can tell you the reason why, EVs are a new type of driving and most people are unaccustomed to it.

Particularly the way coasting works. If you let off of the throttle, regenerative braking takes over and can bring a car to a stop as fast as a braking.

Sure this can be changed but most people who drive rental cars don't want to spend the time learning how to configure a car they will only use for a few days.

The fact that hertz forced EVs as the cheapest option instead of as a niche one was why I switched to other agencies. I don't want to deal with charging and any of the lifestyle changes that come with ev ownership. That's not a knock at EVs, that's just the consequence of only using a unique vehicle for a few days.
> but can or do retail consumer buying patterns bring retail prices back down?

No, they do not and cannot, because these are just all secondary effects, not causes.

Imagine if we were all using Bitcoin. Imagine if one person on the Bitcoin network was allowed to not have to expend provide proof of work to produce Bitcoins, but everyone else was. This person began spending extravagantly, creating Bitcoins whenever they wanted to, while everyone else was forced to do a proof of work. Everything downstream becomes a secondary effect, trying to deal with that person's spending.

That is how Fiat currencies work without backing.

Where I live (a new-construction suburb near the seattle tech hub), I notice a HUGE percentage of recently migrated Indian drivers drive brand new Teslas.

I also notice a large percentage of those new teslas have "New Driver" bumper stickers.

Based on this small geo/population study, I would expect tesla drivers in my area to have an accident rate that looks more similar to the new driver accident rate typically seen in teens (though maybe without as much recklessness)
Aramis, or the Love of Technology.
Many underestimate how many resources Russia puts into cyber warfare, and how simple dependencies or Docker images can be infected with malicious intent. Authors often have no choice but to do what they are told if they are physically located in Russia. Western folks, having never lived in such an environment, simply have no idea how things are different.

Are there not enough examples already proving the state of things in the industry right now? All the points the author mentioned are valid, in my opinion. Even if in this particular case it may not be true, there is a large background suggesting why it could be true.

Didn't we think Chernobyl would be a dead zone yet things are growing there? Not that I expected to be able to grow stuff on Mars' soil without processing the ground.

Aren't we getting slowly killed by _everything_ here on earth? Why wouldn't we be able to build planet wide sealed structures, starting with a small region, and growing to surround the entire "liveable" surface? Of cource it's not a trivial task, but the planet already provides relative shelter from space, has at least _some_ gravity and provides some of the resources needed for survival (water it seems, metals that we can easily access, metals, some minerals, and so on).

Do you need a Mac though? These days I extensively use vscode.dev online, so safari is enough, which is natively supported by Vision Pro. If VisionOS has a terminal that can run vim like a Mac, that would be sufficient for a large swath of developers.

>> need to farm ... milk ... eggs

As an aside, Milk and Honey are the few foods that we eat that dont directly involve death.

Milk and eggs being available are arguably products of technology, and farming is technology.

There are ethical angles. Problematic farming, would drive you to ethical raised. Sustainability, would drive you to eat less. Technology enables you to make the choice of "I don't eat things with eyes". You eat plants, so the line for living things exists somewhere. Your ability to draw that line in an arbitrary (in the face of your biology) place is a product of technology, not a fundamental truth.

It makes it hard for me to take "ethical" as an argument for your dietary choice. Ethics is a step on the path to judgement, to rules and I just dont see the argument holding water. (And im a person who eats little meat and could give it up, you can pry the butter out of my cold dead hands).
The (US) courts rule on the legality of the laws with respect to the constitution and then rule if the prosecution/enforcement of the law is correct within the legal framework.

The law is set by the legislators.

When you allocate memory for an empty array with malloc(num * size) where num == 0, you get a zero-sized memory block. As discussed in the article, representing this with a null pointer causes problems, because that results in undefined behavior in memcpy (despite asking it to copy 0 bytes). So we want it to be a real memory block that can be safely passed to free().
That is not at all what Stoicism is about. I think Stoicism would be most succinctly described as the appreciation that you cannot control what happens to you, but you can control, with no mean effort, how you let it affect you. And that the greatest virtue in life is to be gained by living a life of ethics. There were metaphysical aspects to Stoicism as well, but I think few people adopt those now a days, and that's neither here nor there anyhow.

A couple of Stoics involved in politics you may be interested in are Cato the Younger [1] and, of course, Marcus Aurelius. [2] Suffice to say that if our political class today was comprised of men with even a fraction of either of these men's character, the world would be an exponentially better place for everybody.

Most of their process is 100% automated. Revoking based on free-form reports would at the very least require a human to deal with the report.

Pure speculation: When president, Trump pressured companies to say and do things supportive of his popularity, such as opening factories, etc. He pilloried those that did things that hurt him. Biden returned the US government to the usual role of staying out of it, and a free country and society. I wonder if business leaders are trying to do these things now - layoffs, profit-taking, etc. - before a potential return of Trump.
