I really think that the Amiga 3000 killed the Amiga. When it was released, instead of move another decade ahead graphics wise, it was 3-4 years behind. 640x512x16colors?!? The 3000 needed to be released with AGA, on a card.

Comparisons. In October 1990.

For $3999, you had the Amiga 3000 with 640x512x16colors. It did have a '030 25Mhz, 40mb Hard drive and 2mb. Monitor was extra.

For $3860, you could get a 386/33, 4mb, 512k SVGA (800x600 8bit), 160MB Hard drive AND you got the 14" Monitor.

No need, data collection is a different function than exploitation. People that are turned into assets are often not even aware how they are being used.

I once insisted I could be bribed to avoid the escalation of coercion as a joke, that was funny until someone actually offered $80k for my company workstation one day.

It is a cultural phenomena, as in some places it is considered standard acceptable practice.

My advice is to be as boring as possible, legally proactive, and keep corporate financial profit modes quiet.

Good luck =)
People are very happy to play competitive VR shooters over a cable, so I can't imagine latency would be an issue broadly.

Fair point w/r/t cooling. Again, I think distributing components around the whole head, rather than 100% on the face, is the way to go.
In exactly the same way that a torque measured in newton-meters can as easily be measured in joules.
It's very similar to the dumpster fire that is PG&E electrical rates.

PG&E is a private company, but the CPUC has strict controls over it's operations. You can read the CPUC meeting minutes for yourself. Things like "PG&E would like to replace the chain link fence surrounding substation X at a cost of $150,000 - DENIED".

CPUC is a commission whose members are selected by the governor. They are the defacto decisionmakers. Yet Gavin Newsom will give quotes to the media on how "PG&E will need to be punished for it's mismanagement".

My only theory is that keeping PG&E private provides a convenient scapegoat for the utter mismanagement by CPUC.
From what I saw, a SIM ejector and allow the user to disconnect the cable. This is more trivia than anything, since it’s a unique connector.

I think the bigger reason behind locking the cable to the battery pack, is the same reason the cable locks to the headset. They don’t want it to come unplugged while you’re using it. If the pack falls out of your pocket, it would probably better for it to catch itself and hang, than come unplugged.
The problem with state run monopolies is that without competition they are rarely effectively managed. The obvious solution is to have multiple state run companies compete but then weve reinvented all the problems were trying to solve.
Be that as it may, if you look at C64 GEOS which ran on consumer TV sets and with comparatively primitive hardware, the UI looks so much nicer in GEOS to my eye. Even the Apple II GEOS makes Workbench look like a hot mess.

The M16 is capable of about 900 rounds per minute, which is about 15 rounds per second, so we can call the Si "banana" the "M16" in America and have it be the same measure of requests per second.
That seems like a really tight latency budget to run through even an optimized wireless stack.

Working backward: frame needs to be received by headset in time to refresh, which means it needs to be sent by host device in time to make its way through the headset wireless phy and be decoded.

And working forward: headset needs to encode sensor values, send across wireless, be decoded on host, before frame can start to be generated.

Which leaves the time in-between those for actually doing all the processing and frame generation.

Ditching the wireless phy and low-level steps seems like an easy trade-off for more processing time.
Though you might be able to get past a substantial portion of the atmosphere, and that would help you get past a lot of sources of friction.

What is “job restructuring”?
The meaning of the word and the ever changing definition are two different things causing the idea that they are fake and real.

By the definition they are correct. The definition is fake as in the formula is changed to suit political goals and doesn't reflect what an unemployed person is.

If a period of time passes where you still can't find a job you get excluded. You are no longer unemployed. Tell that to your parents/wife. That alone makes the entire definition more than suspect. Onr might even say fake.

There are potential trade-offs where experimental treatments which fail preclude other experimental treatments that work. Ethically this is a minefield. Personally I agree that if I have a disease I'd want to take any experimental treatment that seemed like a good idea.

I think people's action during the pandemic are a bit more responsible for additional deaths than were FDA delays.

Commodore did have a line of IBM PC clones if that's what you're suggesting. Adopting x86 without the other elements of the PC architecture would've been pointless. The 386 would've made programming just about bearable for devs used to the m68k's flat address space and elegant from-scratch ISA design. It would not have been very successful.
Segmented vs contiguous stacks is a completely orthogonal design choice here. The key is merely that this stack is separate from the C stack but accessible simultaneously.

As long as you have that, it can be segmented, or it can be contiguous and movable for growth if you have a GC and/or forbid pointers to locals, or it can be perfectly sized if you do a whole-program analysis on stack usage, or it can be large and non-moving like the C stack.

Apple was well on their way moving everything to USB-C. It was going to happen with or without the EU.

I suspect the iPhone was last because it is the most popular device. They don’t want to do anything risky, and it would be good if people already had a bunch of USB-C around the house before the iPhone switch to make it less impactful. People were very upset when Apple moved away from the 30-pin connector, because all their accessories became obsolete overnight. They promised Lighting was designed to last for the next decade, which is about how long it lasted.

Government is not only compatible with competence; it is a profound source of competence. When we recognize our place in an immensity of people and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of public life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely civic. The notion that government and competence are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.

Cars in general are just getting bigger and more expensive to repair while our insurance liabilities are not being scaled for that.

On the flip side, I wish the fed gov't would regulate vehicle sizes such that we don't have such an arms race for bigger cars.

We really should be upping the minimal liabilities for cars. That might be the only thing that would really push our local gov't to invest in safer driving infrastructure along with alternative transit options.

I thought it was common knowledge that a formal “performance improvement” program is no such thing. I bet companies do have some who succeed in these programs but that’s almost certainly to cover the fact that the only reason these programs exist is to give the employee no chance at all to claim unfair termination.
It really. Anyone with money has good coverage plus umbrella.
It's because each coverage covers specific causes of losses. The pricing of the coverage needs to be justified by actuaries. It's a very competitive market, so they can't just "pad their premiums"; another company will undercut the price.
Not Seen this is being discussed anywhere. The Lighting in [1], actually shows 3 different pins count. The common / original with 8 pins. the much larger one on the right has 10 pins, while the middle one has 12 pins, the same pin count as USB-C. I would assume their dimensions would be similar as well.

I actually wish it was the middle 12-Pins Lightning to be opened spec and used rather than USB-C. Along with that Sim-Lock or a push button-lock design.

Auto repair stores sell a lot of 'offroad use only' equipment that people use on the roads. There's no effective enforcement for proper headlights. You're unlikely to be stopped because your lights are too bright or pourly aimed.

> The meaning of the word and the ever changing definition are two different things causing the idea that they are fake and real.

What do you mean by "ever changing definition"? The U-3 definition has been used for decades. At some point you've just got to admit you had the wrong definition rather than blaming other people for using "fake" numbers.

>If a period of time passes where you still can't find a job you get excluded. You are no longer unemployed. Tell that to your parents/wife. That alone makes the entire definition more than suspect. Onr might even say fake.

I'm not sure what you got that from, but this contradicts the definition from the BLS:

>In the Current Population Survey, people are classified as unemployed if they meet all of the following criteria:

> They were not employed during the survey reference week.

> They were available for work during the survey reference week, except for temporary illness.

> They made at least one specific, active effort to find a job during the 4-week period ending with the survey reference week (see active job search methods) OR they were temporarily laid off and expecting to be recalled to their job.

I looked around at several sites like that one, and saw 'averages' quoted all over the place. That's why I said 'more like 225k/yr' instead of declaring that to be the average.

Sites with lower averages:

Sites with higher averages:

I'm fine with 265k as the average. It's just not anywhere close to $1m/yr, which was my point.
1% the speed of light is stupidly fast to colonize a galaxy. It only sounds reasonable in the same way startup claim if we can just capture 1% of the X market, while forgetting numbers much smaller exist.

Let’s assume super tech they can build that somehow allows vastly faster speeds than we can today ~120 km/s worth of DeltaV. Half that is spent slowing down so we’re talking 0.02% c.

Now let’s assume half the time is spent in flight and half the time is spent colonizing stars before launching ships. So now we’re down to 0.01% C. Suddenly 1 Billion years is a more reasonable estimate and even that takes super tech we don’t have any idea how to build and assumes nothing fails.

Several more advanced civilizations could be colonizing the galaxy today that are still 10 billion years from finishing.
That's all well and good, but I've certainly worked at companies where "that's not a best practice" is one of those thought stoppers. You can't argue with it.

The author of the article says that best practices aren't actionable, that they're vague guiding principles. He's never worked at a place where you had to trigger up your C++ to have as much inheritance as possible, inheriting from some mystical base class that used the key word "virtual" a lot, and then had to write constructors, copy constructors, etc etc, because all of those things were "best practices".

Why are people teaching kids to program on tiny microcontrollers instead of the beefy laptops they already have?

Very few people are doing microcontroller programming these days, and so beginner-friendly microcontroller resources are far less plentiful than those for mainstream languages. Just teach kids Python on a normal laptop (or in the cloud if you're in the US and give them Chromebooks).

I guess the ability to interact with the physical world (with servos and such) might make the subject more attractive to some, but I'm sure there are ways to plug those into a real computer, or at least a Pi.

According to jseliger's blog above it takes real work to get yourself into a cancer trial.
I've only ever seen mobile mentioned as "coming soon", but honestly, I don't think porting over the GUI library will make turning an application into a mobile one any easier. A mouse+keyboard design just doesn't fit a mobile screen well, you're going to need to redesign and reimplement large parts of your application regardless of what platform you pick. You'll probably get tablets working easily, but for mobile phones you'll need to put in the annoying grunt work.

I do like Avalonia for actually bringing a cross-platform .NET GUI to Linux and for that purpose it works quite well. I'm sure the toolkit will end up working fine for mobile just fine, as long as you design your application for the different form factors you may end up running on. Porting Xamarin Forms to Avalonia is going to be a hell of a lot easier than porting it to Flutter or React Native, but you'll still end up putting significant effort into the process if you want it to succeed.

Avalonia's big money-maker is their drop-in replacement platform for WPF, which allows you to basically take an old WPF application and turn it into a Windows/macOS/Linux/web application with two lines of code, if you're willing to pay the price. Perhaps they'll add some kind of auto-mobile-form-factor conversion to that system as well?

Hmm isn’t pickle designed for exactly this use case? External config module deps you pull for overall config validation.

E.g. so you always write valid k8s manifests.

And then you can extend them with your own additional validation rules for what you think your app needs? I’ve just skimmed the docs but it seems it allows you to be as loose or as precise as possible, plus packaging and publishing those rules for others to use.

Seems kinda awesome.
I think Ryujinx is made with Avalonia, though I might be wrong. Not sure it’s high profile.
I just learned about this today, and this (from the FAQ) helped me understand how to think about it:

"Avalonia is akin to Flutter for .NET, both using Skia for UI rendering. Key differences include Avalonia's use of .NET and XAML, contrasting with Flutter's Dart language. While Flutter excels in mobile, Avalonia has recently expanded to mobile, offering a more mature desktop experience. For teams skilled in .NET and XAML, Avalonia is likely the better fit."

So this might be a great choice if you're a .NET shop, if your app doesn't need a platform-native native look or feel, and if your project is desktop-focused.
> under the care of Prof Long and a team of experts, Prof Scolyer became the first brain cancer patient to ever have combination, pre-surgery immunotherapy

Great, although it's sad that you seemingly have to be a doctor to convince another doctor to try things like this.

Now let's extend this concept to giving immunotherapy before chemotherapy, since chemotherapy wipes your immune system. It doesn't make sense to do chemo before immunotherapy when you want the immune system to attack the cancer. On the other hand, if the immune system goes on a rampage against healthy cells, then chemo could be used to wipe it again, while also stopping cancer growth.
