At Warsaw Hackerspace we have a Bridgeport series I MDI machine that was retrofitted locally with LinuxCNC. Various vendors sold Bridgeport clones or retrofitted originals with CNC machinery.

We also have an Ex-Volkswagen KUKA robot - Volkswagen units are specific to Volkswagen and don't really work properly without "the gorilla and rest of the jungle" - in this case a Volkswagen factory line. But it can be driven in "human present" mode if you accept Volkswagen software limitations, and apparently quite a lot of places do just that.
The hardware minimums are real, and the complexity floor is significant. Do not deploy Ceph unless you mean it.

I started considering alternatives when my NAS crossed 100 TB of HDDs, and when a scary scrub prompted me to replace all the HDDs, I finally pulled the trigger. (ZFS resilvered everything fine, but replacing every disk sequentially gave me a lot of time to think.) Today I have far more HDD capacity and a few hundred terabytes of NVMe, and despite its challenges, I wouldn't dare run anything like it without Ceph.
It isn’t. Some people just don’t like change even when it was announced 7 months or more prior to the update and release.
This is in fact touched on (if briefly), in the roadmap - it's "virtual lists" and absolutely is a priority for this year. Performant UI is not possible without it.

The idea is not so much that you have a custom widget, but rather that you have a container view which is tightly coupled to a corresponding container widget. As you scroll, that widget requests its view to materialize (and de-materialize) views for the child widgets that become visible. It doesn't need custom widgets, the child widgets can be standard, and because it's Rust the cost of allocating and deallocating the child widgets (as opposed to recycling existing widgets as in Android RecyclerView) is modest.

(Point of clarification for those following more closely: I'm talking about views here, while the linked post is focused on widgets. The widget tree will provide a documented protocol for requesting child widgets, estimating layout sizes, syncing up scroll adjustments, and so on. This protocol will be a bit messy and complicated, because the underlying problems are hard. We'll develop it in tandem with the corresponding Xilem view, which will we hope will provide a really nice clean developer experience, especially in conjunction with an immutable list data structure which can produce sparse deltas. Then, as people want to do their own reactive layer, they can figure out how to do the plumbing from their own take on the incremental computation engine into this protocol.)

We prototyped this last year, enough to be confident in the direction, and it is absolutely a goal to wire it all up this year.
I think it was also just harder to do at scale.

In the aftermath of his death, we discovered that one of my great grandfathers had a whole other family a few villages over, and neither family knew of the other. Being logistically limited to just two groups probably helped make it "work".
They literally were the next iPhone. Apple mainstreamed the wireless earbuds product category in 2017 and then proceeded to dominate it. (Note that Apple owns Beats as well.)

30% is a large increase to a canal that we use for a huge portion of our consumer goods, I think. I do agree that they soups build desalination plants now, so they can use them in twenty years when they’re finished and the drought is even worse!
False. After having done a cost analysis of the increase in accidents in the parking lots due to the increased poles, the cheap cost of power from the grid in my area of the country, and the fact that I must hire a veteran owned firm if they are slightly less than 33.33% more expensive than private firms (aka they take the job and pocket 33.32% and subcontract out to their bidding competitors).

Solar is not coming to a government parking lot near you unless these hurdles are addressed. In the very least, not "all" government parkinglots.

Something changed in the last few years. Maybe someone has a word for this?

One revenue stream is not enough now, for anyone. You can't sell a widget. It seems shareholders now demand you maximize:

* original sale of hardware, sometimes loss leader
* subscription for cloud service
* subscription for supplies/refills
* advertising to end user eyeballs, direct psyops
* exfiltrate and sell end user data
* require phone app which includes more surveillance, location, etc

Some of the new toothbrushes are like this: hardware, cloud subscription, refill subscription, app, data: 5 points?
The iPhone was hardly different from other touch screen phones at the time, except for the UX enhancements. And it turns out good UX changes the world.

Pay attention to how people talk about the experience of using Vision Pro vs other headsets. The eye tracking interface is widely praised and described by third parties (not just Apple) as feeling like magic.

I haven't used it yet, but I can imagine what using a computer would be like if I didn't have to actually point my mouse anywhere and instead it could effectively read my mind about where I want to click. IMO this is the interface revolution that will become ubiquitous over the next 5-10 years, and Apple is once again leading the charge.
I don’t know why people think an oled display is heavy. There’s a ton of other heavier components to the point where that front display is likely insignificant.

Things like active cooling, multiple camera arrays, motorized IPD adjustment.

I bet when iFixIt does a tear down, the front display will be shown to be negligible.
Other problem. When there is a need, that corn can be diverted from fuel to food.
10 minutes during weekday business hours plus 30 for commute and 20 minutes of standing in line if you go at noon. Also, the discoverability of this workflow is complete dogshit.

None of this is a problem for me, but I fully understand why dishonest businessfolk love to exploit the hell out of these "tiny conditions" and then turn around and pretend they don't understand why they are a big deal.
wow, from just this one side of the story, it definitely paints the journalist as a total scumbag.

Yes they're still a thing.

> I can count on 1 finger how many times I needed to print something in the past few years and FedEx Kinkos is perfect for that.

That's awesome! But there are lots of people who need to print often enough that the cost (in time and/or money) of going to a shop to do it is very hard to justify.

For my case, I print 2-4 pages monthly no matter what, and a handful of pages on average on top of that. That's not much printing, but it's more than enough to justify having a printer. Going to a shop to do that printing is a large amount of time and hassle.
I spent a summer in college working construction as a general laborer, making $20/hr. I was rich!! ...and every person on the jobsite said "stay in school, don't do this full time".

I've never experienced that same end-of-day exhaustion before or since doing construction (and I was a fit & healthy college student).

No matter how bad my day is, sitting at my desk and typing for a LOT of money, I know it's better than many alternatives.
>It's bizarre to me just how many people in this country (especially the ones who can least afford it) simply do not take charge of their financial health.

But, see...

>No one is looking out for you.

... that's just it, isn't it?

Nobody's looking out for you. We send kids to public school from ages five to eighteen, but at a broad level, we do not have a requirement for any of that education to be about how to take charge, and stay on top of, your fiscal health. I'm not sure how you can look down on others like that when a large chunk of people are kicked into adulthood without ever having been taught how to look after themselves financially.

Or even their professions of belief to actually be something approaching truthful.

But there are many incentives, both on a self-deceptive psychology level, and on a societal-wide level, for wanting to be seen as a virtuous and forthright person irrespective of one's actual behaviours or beliefs.

People have lived much denser in apartments in cities for hundreds of years. Whole families used to live in a room on Paris a couple hundred years back. Was the fertility as low in those cities back then too? (This is a serious question I just don’t know.)

This is yet another instance of people simply not understanding what R&D spending means in the context of tech. Most employee salaries are R&D. Cloud compute is R&D. Any expense related to developing any of their existing products or services gets categorized under that bucket, and they get tax breaks on it.

R&D does not only mean new research.

It is fundamentally strange to look at a society which stops having children to the extent that it will no longer exist within 2-4 generations as having a problem of "not enough workers."

Perhaps part of the problem is that we see individuals only as workers?

The journey towards enlightenment or personal growth is highly individualized and subjective, making comparisons with others is not only unhelpful but also irrelevant.
Doing anything repetitive with a large amount of data by virtue of knowing about for-loops. There have been so many times where people wanted something done to a million users/objects/whatever and were surprised that I got back in 5 minutes. One of them even muttered the words "I thought that would take you all day", when actually 3 of the 5 minutes were spent getting a cup of coffee.
Apple is one of the most successful business on the planet, and has been for years. Jobs would be shocked to see how big of a money pool he could swim in.
I’m really hoping they crack that nut. I’m not diabetic, but I do wonder what would happen when someone figures it out.

All of a sudden you could basically put real time glucose monitors on a huge chunk of the population with all sorts of medical conditions or none at all.

What could we accidentally learn from that that no one was ever looking for?

The benefits to diabetics are obvious and life changing unless you already have a CGM. And if we never learn anything we didn’t already know it would still be a fantastic improvement. But what if there is more?
To play devil's advocate for my own point, Michael Abrash was swiped from Valve by Facebook. The dude is a hardcore hacker. Even the rendering code in Age of Empires II owes him credit for performance optimizations!

Straight out of training, RCMP officers almost always get posted to remote locations. Locations that nobody with any seniority will touch.

These postings often require the new recruit to move - not just towns - but whole provinces away from their extended families. Throw in the cold, boring nature of these postings and what you get is a very bitter officer. One who is looking to pad their resume and move up the ranks and get out.

It's also common for officers to be internally disciplined in this way; The best cops get the most prestigious postings, and the worst get the opposite (just like Catholic priests).

(To be clear, I have no idea if this is true in this case - it's more of a generalization)
It is! Highly recommended!
> you really should expect true Christians, on average, to gradually become better people.

I think you can only expect them to gradually become more Christian, and every Christian defines what that means for themselves. There is no definition of goodness that is shared by all Christians.

If using nuclear how much land would be required to provide the same amount of energy?
Industrialisation means that most consumer goods are mass produced. That means these companies need to make their money from wide sales instead of tall sales. Wide as in getting as many individual customers as possible, instead of tall as in selling bespoke products for an expensive price to few customers.

Very few people need more than one washing machine. Well off people already own washing machines. So if you're selling washing machines, you need to make a way for as many poor people as possible to be able to buy them, hence credit and split payments.
You can advocate for more personal responsibility and also advocate for businesses to behave in the interests of individual human beings. They're not mutually exclusive. Just because I don't want a business to extort every last cent from me they can doesn't mean I want to absolve myself of all responsibility to everything ever.

> Review your bank/credit accounts

I mean, shouldn't it be your responsibility to know exactly how much money you've made and spent? Why should a bank provide this information for you? Does this not serve as yet another lessening of personal accountability (pun *absolutely* intended)?
In general, as much as we trash on the US judicial system the UK judicial system makes it even harder to have any sort of recourse in a situation like this.
It's interesting their demo video is basically demoing like a warehouse environment.

The walking aspect of these have never made sense to me. Like people say they're heavy and awkward to walk in. The form factor totally makes sense though, like if they could be operated by remote I could see them being super popular (basically powered roller skates).
So the rate of change of demand is decreasing. Decreasing rate of change is the definition slowing down. Although I agree that most people probably misinterpret the phrase as you say. (It seems other replies have had that interpretation.)

I've found it is easier than that. If a system is setup so that professing a belief will get someone a benefit, then you will find a ton of people claiming said belief.

I’ve done the email workflow for a bit. I’ll say this much: it might be comparable to configuring a power editor vs. using some powerful and ready-to-go IDE. You can set up things how you like and the preferences of everyone else doesn’t really matter. You can also just edit anything because it’s fast and there is probably a good enough configuration for all kinds of languages and modes.

But in some ways it isn’t. Like any fool (like me) can just get some Emacs configuration for free from others. There doesn’t seem to be that kind of sharing for all the fiddly little things you need to do with git-send-email and the rest. All I’ve heard so far is that, oh yeah I usually deal with this specific issue by running some Perl scripts that I wrote eight years ago and that I’ve been nurturing ever since. But it wouldn’t be very useful for you because it’s very, very idiosyncratic. Might not even work outside Debian and my Apt state...

Anecdotally...

I've lived throughout the US - Seattle, Atlanta, East Bay, Portland - and each time I've leased a place I've pushed back and asked for cheaper rent. Sometimes it's worked, sometimes it hasn't, but that's never ended a conversation or resulted in them walking away.

The home I'm renting now, I asked my landlord to reduce their proposed rent increase by 75% if we committed to a two-year lease, and they were fine with that. Never been an issue for me, and if a potential landlord bristles at something like that, then it's a sign that things may not be so great after I've signed the lease.

Most of them could be solved by our CC system putting people in control. Wanna cancel NYT, stop payment and let them come to you if they want to bother. The fact that people can just take money from our accounts on a whim and we have to beg them to get it back or stop is a ridiculous system. I would much rather deal with invoices.

The only system where they just charge you I like is the usage model. I get a bill from AWS, OpenAI, and Backblaze every month for a few dollars but if I stop using them the bill drops to $0.
Well, it's a combination of the hardware, OS, IDE, and language. Modern languages and VM's have caught up to many features of the Lisp machine. I've read lots of people's comments about them along with its documentation. Let me highlight a few things you might still like.

The language is highly dynamic, supports types for better speed, macros let it rewire itself to better express concepts, it is interpreted for instant development, still compiled with good performance, safer by default than many compiled languages, and you can edit the code and save state of running programs. I've just named off advantages of all kinds of programming languages all mixed into one. The flexibility was so strong that, as new paradigms were added (eg OOP, aspects), they could just bring in a library to make the language itself do that.

Aside from live debugging, my favorite feature when trying Lisp was per-function, incremental compilation.: make a change within a function, press a button, that individual function was compiled (sub-1-second), and that got loaded into the system for live interactions. I could iterate about as fast as I could think or type with the code still being fairly quick. It was mind blowing.

Today's machines have OS's in one language, supporting libraries might be in another, there's often a runtime with its own style, the app language itself for the logic, and usually one for the web browser. The mismatches between these languages can cause all kinds of headaches. Debugging them takes different tools. In a Lisp Machine, everything from the OS to the IDE to your apps were written in Lisp. IIRC they came with source. Any failure in any layer loads up in the same IDE with code in same language.

The IDE was also fully-featured for its time. Today, we have a lot of good IDE's. I don't think most of them share a language, source, and libraries with your apps, though. I'd like to see a comparison between top IDE's today and the Lisp Machine to see where today's tooling is stronger or weaker.

Those are a few things that come to mind. I assure you that my experience trying to code in native languages was way different in both development speed and debugging. Learning Python now, it's good for rapid development but not as flexible or compiled. Lisp would give me all that.

Many more ecosystems are using Python, though. By using Python, I get to use every library they build, guide they write, and maybe get paid for my code. Odds of all of that go down when using Lisp. Such social factors, along with high cost of Lisp Machines, are a huge part of why they disappeared. Less-powerful languages are going strong. If using a Lisp (eg Clojure), it's often tied to platforms written in non-Lisp languages.
Right. Mipmapping is different than simply using lower levels of detail textures. Mipmapping is when you store the full level of detail plus progressively lower levels of detail (always adding up to 33% more data) so that the correct LOD texel can be looked up depending on the required rendering detail. You're using more memory for higher quality (and sometimes faster) rendering.
We've seen the vilification of the MBA types over the past decade and a half as a downstream effect too. The technical types always had a distaste, but now it's bled into the mainstream and amplified by the ongoing economic conditions. As the monetary value of Internet-driven services grew, it tilted power to the doers in technical fields. The disrupters in the industry weren't the product people anymore, it was the engineers making things.
Increasing the standard of living actually lowers the fertility. Everywhere! Not only in the capitalistic societies. Even in the Soviet Union the fertility started to drop as the standard of living increased.
