> you have to invest many millions to roll out your own 5G network.

That's not actually true. You can get a private 5G network from AWS for just $4000 a month ( https://aws.amazon.com/private5g/pricing/ ). It operates in the unlicensed band.

You can also buy a local frequency license for your campus. They can be surprisingly cheap, around $500 a month.

This is out of range for home users, but very attractive for some large industrial customers who want to add reliable connectivity for large warehouses or factories. Mostly because WiFi reliability sucks in many environments, and it's not getting better.
Thanks for the feedback y'all, I'll take this into account going forward

This is strange to me because Skia is the rendering backend used by Firefox and Chrome in many cases, and AFAIK it has hardware acceleration. Why is it using the CPU?
From the perspective of a private insurer, you do not want as diverse a risk pool as you can get. There are groups that you can reasonably anticipate are at high risk of being a bad bet. In many cases you want to encourage them to either change their behavior or seek an alternative provider. Either way, this looks like a high rate.

Telematics often makes it easier to figure out who those people are.
> 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?

Ah interesting, I didn't know this.

> 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.

I think you're understanding this backwards. I'm not aiming to port a desktop app to a mobile app, I'm aiming to choose a UI toolkit that works fine in mobile by default and requires tweaks in your app to make it work in desktop (rather than choosing a UI toolkit that works fine in desktop by default but requires tweaks in your app to make it work in mobile).

Incidents like this remind me just how vast the planet is. Zooming out on Google Maps, you might think that compared to our body size, the size of our houses, cities, counties, etc. isn't that large after all; sure you look like ants in comparison but the surface area seems traversable. And even if it's not, we have radars that can scan vast swaths of the surrounding areas, no?

Wrong. The Earth is unmeasurably huge compared to any human-made technology (and that includes radars, cities, etc.), and that's just the surface of the planet. Add the third dimension (and much more difficult to scan, no less) of the oceans and air, and you'd wonder how the heck we can still find our way on flights. It's a fragile tech, and when it crashes (literally), it's almost impossible for us to find where it happened.

You can try my Sciter. On Windows it uses as Direct2D/DX11 as Skia over DX12|Vulkan|OpenGL (whatever is available).

In both cases it uses GPU rendering and I see no problems with scrolling in them - 60 FPS kinetic scrolling by mouse wheel and touchpad.

You can try by yourself by running usciter.exe demo browser from

- https://gitlab.com/sciter-engine/sciter-js-sdk/-/tree/main/b... - Direct2D backend.
- https://gitlab.com/sciter-engine/sciter-js-sdk/-/tree/main/b... - Skia backend.

You can load in usciter this document:

https://gitlab.com/sciter-engine/sciter-js-sdk/-/blob/main/s...

It shows pretty large colorized texts so you can estimate how Direct2D and Skia handle GPU accelerated text rendering. For these two binaries the difference is only in graphics used - Direct2D and Skia.
If you were anywhere near objective you would give the same scrutiny that you give Tesla to other car makers. Since you're horribly biased against Tesla you instead try to make them look good in your comments and submissions. How is that being objective???

Fiber optics don't really work that way. They transmit light, not images, over the fibers.
definitely, that and Java sounds like two very good candidates.
So, to English speakers, homophones might look like unfortunate side effects of using an inferior symbol sets or something, I don't think that is how languages end up with a lot of homophones - rather, I think it's the result of a lossy compression; there are just such set of same tokens and circuits of thoughts that are addressed from different context for different effects.

And I think your lookup table thinking is halfway there to a deep understanding of the matter, it does work like a forward lookup from ideograms to meanings and pronunciation cues. sure you can sub:4 idea:5 wit:1 phne:2 Alph, and homo:7 dis:32 with num:2 idx for std:6 def:3, but I wonder if us humans are really good with that data model.
After I first used a VAX and experienced UNIX, I did not want to use PCs with Microsoft/Apple operating systems again. I wanted UNIX on the PC. It took a while but eventually I got it. No more Microsoft/Apple BS.

I am a family member, friend, coworker, neighbour and member of the general public. I may use a UNIX-like OS that I can compile myself instead of one controlled by Microsoft/Apple OS.
> Fiber optics don't really work that way. They transmit light, not images, over the fibers.

Images over optical fiber was originally developed in the 1960s, although the concept goes back to the 1840s :

It is possible the concept was observed much earlier than that if someone had polished an ulexite rock:

To be fair, how many applications really need Rust's level of performance? I mean operating system code and drivers... But, many apps are getting the job done in electron with a browser engine.

I like rust, I like the sensibilities. Maybe my experience is too limited to higher level problems though. There's plenty of room for the likes of Go, Java and C# is all I'm getting at.
Your history is way off. The PPC line came out in 1994 and was talked about as early as 1993. This wasn’t a rumor. This was Apple’s announce pipeline.

Jobs came back in 1997 and stayed with the PPC line until 2005. By then Apple was far from “beleaguered” thanks to the iMac, PowerBooks and iPod
I remember a lab working on it like a decade ago (using a batch of fibers, not just one)

> The productivity applications of the AVP are obviously not aimed at a single full screen terminal user like me.

From initial playing around with mine, I would say the strength of the device (which the OS doesn't completely lean into yet, but I would bet improvements are in the works for visionOS 2) is the "spatial" part, and I suspect that's the whole reason for its emphasis in the marketing.

That is to say, imagine your terminal as a floating window, but you've also got other windows arranged around your home and office, not just clustered at a desk. Reminders floating near your fridge or break room, weather forecasts near the coatrack, calendar with upcoming events on a wall, Kindle or Books.app floating next to your couch...

Obviously it's a really, really expensive device (and a somewhat uncomfortable one) just to do that kind of thing with, but if you cross your eyes and stare into the future I think you can see the path towards much more refined devices that fill the role of letting you have "virtual stuff" in the same way that you might hang a clock on your wall today.

If you're going to start writing it testing or C++ like Rust or follow certain guidelines, a lot of them. But if you're going to constrain how you do things, why not use a language that also gives you higher level functionality along the way?

I've had two serious attempts at learning Rust. Amusingly, I also chose a ray tracer for my last attempt. I was pretty happy with the resulting code but attempting a moderate refactor made me toss the whole project - I felt like I was fighting the language too much. Not sure if I'll try again
There's a lot of good advice about health, bedtime routines and sleep hygiene. Definitely take it on board.

However, I think reverse bedtime procrastination is mostly tied to emotions. It's easy to feel like you have no time to yourself when you have a busy job, busy commute etc. Or you feel like you "have to" put time into "worthwhile" activities like studying. Then it gets to bedtime and you finally give yourself permission to relax, and you end up scrolling on your phone for a few hours.

Here's a few things you could try:

Try scheduling fun and relaxation throughout your day. Give yourself permission to enjoy yourself at these times. Now, when you go to sleep you can remember that you had time to yourself already, and you have time to yourself scheduled for tomorrow.

I often struggled with negative emotions and looked at my phone to distract myself. Even noticing that you are doing this can be tricky. Try to name the emotions you are having throughout the day (literally saying them out loud can help). Over time this will lead you to realizing how your habits form. "Oh, I'm feeling disappointed with how work went so I want to distract myself and look at my phone".

This sounds very simple but it is surprisingly difficult. Good luck!
This is also not what happened. Office was available for the Mac first in 1989 and later came to Windows.

PowerPoint was original a Mac app that was acquired by MS.

Word was available on the Mac in 1985.

What you are probably thinking about is the deal that Jobs brokered when he came back for MS to continue supporting the Mac
Or walk into an internet cafe. Cafe membership systems, if any, probably aren't yet connected enough to prevent showing you the raw Internet for first few minutes, for few more years.

as long as you can evaluate models' output you can select the best one. you probably have some ideas what you are looking for. then it's possible to check how likely the output is it.

the data is not a spherical horse in the vacuum. usually there is a known source which produces that data, and it's likely the same model works well on all data from that source. may be a small number of models. which means knowing the source you can select the model that worked well before. even if the data is from alien ships they are likely to be from the same civilization.

I'm not saying that it's a 100% solution, just a practical approach.

Typescript does have const variables. But you can still often mutate the instances and there are many other reasons why a configuration language should be strictly free from side effects allowed in imperative languages.

When I canceled Prime a couple of years ago, I thought our family would really miss it. In practice, we have barely noticed. I don't trust Amazon any more for electronics; the books I ordered more recently were badly packaged and often dog-eared; and we now spend less time idly browsing Amazon for purchases we don't need, which is good all round.

Everyone has different needs, but I'd encourage more people to try canceling it. The world would not be harmed from a little less Amazon shopping.
Did you try Modafinil? The effect of tolerance is much less, and few side effects. But maybe not sufficiently industrial strength for you.
That was also a time when it was rude generally rude to have earbuds in when interacting with people, meetings needed to be done face to face, and having anything covering you face was just viscerally rejected by a chunk of the population.

The consensus has changed a lot in the meantime, or at least you'll find your group that doesn't care about any of that.
Pkl is newly open sourced, but it not new. It's been used for years at Apple, and has been battle tested internally.

I'd actually say that our tooling in some ways is more mature. For example, I think our IDE experience (at least in JetBrains editors) is the best out there.
I mean, ya $1-1.6k/month is expensive. But that seems normal for Seattle, maybe even a little cheap. It’s basically that price already in every American HCOL city.

thought your comment was going to become a quote from the Artilleryman from Jeff Waynes musical version of War of the Worlds!

"We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they clap eyes on us and we're dead, right? So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where? Underground. You should see it down there – hundreds of miles of drains – sweet and clean now after the rain, dark, quiet, safe. We can build houses and everything, start again from scratch. And what's so bad about living underground, eh? It's not been so great living up here, if you want my opinion."
I'm no psychologist, but itcseems yo be a very common theme in the human condition.

First we find a "tribe", maybe it's a sports team, or a computer, or a political party, or a brand of beer. Anything that lets me bond with my peers and lets us be "me and mine", versus "you and yours".

The longer I'm in this group, the more the cycle feeds back, the harder it is to break out.

At some point it's no longer about the common factor. it's about belonging to the tribe. Maybe we got together when say Mercedes was the pinicle of cars. I become a "Mercedes driver". I join a Mercedes club, we do fun runs on Sunday, they're my tribe. Even if (and I'm not saying it is) Mercedes turns into junk, our tribe is still our tribe.

Not wanting to pick a side, but you see this in politics now. For lots of people now it doesn't matter who is running, or what the policies are, it only matters what tribe I'm in. And my tribe is better, the other tribe is rubbish. Those in neither tribe can't understand, because to them both tribes are terrible (perhaps in different ways.)

In the 80s and 90s, the computer platform you chose -was- your identity. Switching from one to another was hard, and socially suicidal. Ideally the switch was done -for- you, not -by- you. My dad's office changed from Apple 2 to PC. Since I couldn't buy my own PC, I got what they got.

But if I had invested my had earned cash in say Apple, it would have been a next to impossible option to just scrap that investment and start over.

Amiga was once way out on top of the pile. By -all- metrics. They were the tribe on top. But it's hard to fall from there and not need to blame someone, or something. It's not the product that failed. It's the people.
Performance, portability, reduced memory use.. even containerization which can benefit from all of the above.
Basically. Existing literature seemed to show that 20-25g of post exercise protein maximized skeletal muscle (what you think of when you think of muscle), but new techniques show that response continues to grow despite projected back pressure in amino changes well up to 100g of protein.
An air-breathing jet engine doesn't need to carry oxidizer, which in a rocket is most of the propellant weight. It also has access to unlimited reaction mass, so it can be much more energy-efficient in producing thrust (it is more efficient to produce thrust by accelerating a lot of mass by a little, than by accelerating a little mass by a lot, but a rocket can't take advantage of this because it would need to carry all that extra mass. A plane can use ambient air for this purpose)

This all adds up to a plane needing to carry many times less mass to gain the same altitude and speed as a rocket, at least within relatively dense atmosphere.
I think the fake eyes and avatars would be a lot more palatable if they ditched the realism attempt and just used cartoon eyes and faces. You could choose different styles like Western or Anime, and people already buy things like eye masks with cartoon eyes on them. It would at least give the device and avatars some personality, not just "oh man he's using that creepy new Apple thing for the call." I guess if they're trying to sell this toy as a Serious Business Machine for Important People, that might be seen as too juvenile, but IMO silly beats creepy.
> They were designed for certain assumptions taking into account certain limitations, and taking into account what most users tend to do.

...and that right there is why most[0] of this article is bad advice. It's not about being a "power user"[1], it's that I know more than the machine. I know when I'm going to want battery power available and when I won't. I know when I need to charge as fast as possible and when trickle charging is an option. For bonus points, Google's been trying to let the phone figure these things out... so then these folks apparently rip that out, too, lest the poor firmware get any help knowing what to do.

[0] The bit about not discharging to zero is good; I don't miss NiCd.

[1] Side note: "the GrapheneOS golden rule applies: don’t try to be a ‘power user.’" is... interesting advice for an OS that is almost by definition only used by power users; I would love to hear a definition of the term that somehow doesn't include people who replace their phone's OS.
It was more where I lived, but you are right a good PC was probably 2-3 times more expensive. But it wasn't possible to get that gaming experience on the Amiga at any price. This was a year or two before Doom.
Any country where you can easily utilize undeveloped/developing world labor is going to have cheaper labor costs for unskilled or semi-skilled work. So Singapore, Hong Kong get this advantage also.

Yeah the Power Macintosh line, as the name suggests, introduced PowerPC in 1994. There were Performa versions of those as well. Jobs’ return as CEO roughly coincided with the beginning of the G3 era (calling them that instead of PowerPC 740 is already pretty Jobs-ian).

that doesn't follow: it's just as likely if you could accurately forecast cost and revenue, then you wouldn't start many businesses because you'd know they wouldn't be profitable
