Obviously all the fault of designers, developers and engineers. Time to lay off a few thousand more techies, intimidate those that remain while increasing spend on sales and marketing.

In corporate America, this is the all purpose, go to solution for just about every accounting problem.

Don't take my word for it, just look at examples like Boeing. They put an accountant in charge, the tech layoffs began and the results speak for themselves.
I've heard the reason AMD bought ATI instead of Nvidia is Jensen wanted to be CEO of the combined company for it to go through. I actually AMD would be better off it they had taken that deal.

Prior to the ATI acquisition nvidia actually had been the motherboard chipset manufacturer of choice for AMD cpus for a number of years.
This is why we should be arresting scammers that we can arrest, and targeting the rest for air strikes.
"Why do you need to "register" your address? Why do you need any of this?"

Control.

So the state knows in theory, who is living where.

With the joke being, that those institutions, where that information would actually be useful, don't know anyway. And so you still have to submit your adress everywhere (and then again, and a third time, to be sure).

I'm not in the US so I don't worry about that. But the US doesn't seem to actually use it as India does.

And besides I have other communications options if that would happen.
Having just spent many months in Japan, I can confirm this...the paper work was so involved it could have been satire. To change our address on our residence cards we need to do 'move out' paperwork in the old ward and bring that to the new one. Each visit takes the better part of a day. Dozens and dozens of people are working intensely behind the counter to service just a few customers.

Eventually I came to this explanation: their culture is obsessed with perfection, from perfectly paved roads to perfectly preserved temples to perfectly presented food, etc...but this pursuit of perfection in the hands of bureaucrats leads to processes where everything is captured in detail, approved by multiple people, etc. Basically, in the eyes of a bureaucrat, 'perfection' is a rock-solid paper-trail rather than a frictionless experience for the citizens.

Ad education. It is true that High School grade average is the primary access criteria for university level education. But, and this is a big but, there is also the "kvote 2" (quota 2) route, which gives extra points for job experience, travel experience etc. The avg. student debt for people who completed a universoty degree in 2021 in Denmark was approx 25% of the US average for same.

Ad taxes. Church tax is on by deafult, but it is a 5 min. task to opt out.
As a rule of thumb, I never register a ccTLD. You don't know the Geo-politics and baggage that TLD is under. Some countries are incredibly unstable, and that could be reflected in the ccTLD. The only exception is if you are a resident of that country and have a valid passport to reflect you live in that country, and that the domain can be claimed & validated because you live there.

Sometimes ccTLDs bind you to a country you don't live in, and it also signals that you may like/honor that country's practices and history (which you probably don't).

What I do is, choose generic TLDs like .blog and .dev. In the past .tk was considered low-rep because it was free, and it raised red flags, so at least pay for a domain. They're the same price as a T-Shirt!
Yes, my fault. In fact random numbers between 0 and 255 don't have the property that number-of-set-bits have uniform distribution.

Yeah but defaults matter and most people won't remember - even if they would be happy to share. Sharing should be a checkbox and it should be on by default.

my worst domain story is of Gandi hosting microco.sm , the .sm is San Marino, and the domain costs €300 per year as a special business domain.

but... halfway through last year (in May) the domain was suspended, and as DNS caches expired the domain became increasingly unavailable.

I used microco.sm to host an OSS forum platform, and this instance runs over 300 domains.

what then happened was a scramble... Gandi support were effectively non-existent and I was against the clock for those caches expiring.

full incident thread written in public view: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/386644/

I effectively cut over to a spare domain, but wow... 14h of incident, and about 1h3m of outage, but this was a SaaS platform that had run successfully for more than a decade prior... so that domain name was hard-coded everywhere, and I needed to change everything.

it's an insane DR recovery, I'm not sure losing your primary domain as a SaaS service is on anyone's failure mode, I'm pleased I could respond and get this done... but wow.

root cause? Gandi never said, but a few threads elsewhere on the internet from a few individuals impacted who were Italian suggested that Gandi had failed to pay their annual registration with nic.sm and so nic.sm suspended all .sm domains that Gandi managed... totally unbelievable and also very believable.
I'm looking forward to trying this to see if it's any better than their current, trash, offering for macOS. But if it's similar then I'm probably going to go with something like WarpSpeed and just pay them to do what GitHub should really be leading the pack on.
It's a "job queue" in old-people-words, just managed by someone else. Sometimes they even offer integrations like putting a job on the queue on database triggers, or file changes.

Hope they are not really betting on that, think it's clear to everyone that OS fatigue hit when they had 3 OSes and lots of companies stopped bothering after that didn't pan out as worth it now this would make 6 OSes...
TL;DR: I'll be super surprised if this thing makes any dent in tech/culture whatsoever. It's way too expensive (we're not too far out from used car territory here [0]) and breaks no meaningful new ground.

Eh I think there are a couple of important differences.

The first difference is that the iPhone wasn't 300% the price of the contemporary Nokia N95. It was actually around 30% cheaper ($500 vs. $730). The Vision Pro is $3,500 and its closest competition is the Quest Pro at $1,200. I don't think anyone would argue that the experience justifies the price difference.

The second difference is that the iPhone foretold how people were going to use phones in the future. The technology was good and convincing enough that it--to my sorrow--killed other ideas instantly. The Vision Pro obviously hasn't done this. People are buying the state of the art when they buy the Vision Pro, but people were buying the future when they bought the iPhone, and everyone knows it.

And I mean, inventing the future is a bonkers high bar. I admit we shouldn't be holding any company--including Apple--to that standard. It was a confluence of a talented, experienced team, world events, and technological progress. I'm saying I find it hard to square the fact that buying the future (the iPhone) cost less than the then state of the art, whereas Apple's clearly not created the future here, and priced it way out of bounds. It would be like if the iPhone ran the best version of Symbian and had the best resisitive touch screen or physical keyboard that could possibly be made, and then they sold it for $2k. We wouldn't even be talking about this product as a real product if it weren't Apple selling it. We'd assume only rich people would buy it and it would impact the culture not at all.

Also, that's what's happening! Well, that's the best case. The probable actual outcome is people not only get used to the idea that AR/VR has hit a ceiling and is really expensive, but a few really obnoxious people wear the Vision Pro to cafes and everyone gets the idea that it's extremely uncool. This thing is at best a dev kit and at worst a bauble.

Less work for everyone if there is infrastructure for this transfer to occur, which doesn't exist in the US. So kind of a moot point.

But that also is proof for the abstract! By having this image, MS preselects on engineers with lower ethical standards.
I also wonder whether it's an attempt to normalize certain aspects of the form factor to ease people into what Apple sees as the future of this technology.

Namely, I wonder if the tethered battery and lack of dedicated controller exists to prepare people for a future where their headset plugs into an iPhone (or iPad or Mac), which then serves as a battery, co-processor, and input device.
Realistically, a lot of them are probably training AI algorithms to get people to click on ads and questioning their life choices.

But math keeps advancing at a good clip, there are tons of brilliant young people. Physics IIUC is largely gated on waiting for new experimental results. Einstein, Poincare, Newton and many others arrived at a time when the experimental physics data was perplexing and theoretical advances were needed to clear up the picture.

The reverse is true now if I understand. People are just waiting for more funding to build larger accelerators or whatever big expensive astronomy things they need to test the many predictions we have from the various mathematical attempts to unify quantum mechanics and relativity.

Biology seems to be moving pretty briskly. I can't speak to chemistry or any of the other sciences.

EDIT: I should add that when I left academia about 8 years ago, the mood was that academia was increasingly hostile to smart people who just wanted to do research. The move toward running universities like businesses has pushed out a lot of people who would be candidates for the next Einstein or Poincare. Poincare happened to be independently wealthy, so wealth may again be more of a factor than it was during the last century.
>This stuff isn't just an intellectual exercise. If you take it seriously, it can drain all the joy out of living.

Fully agreed. I've been down this rabbit hole before. There's a fine line between the thought of us being different ways for God to experience things in this dimension, and the pure and utter delusion.

It's so much easier to accept being human, along with all the limitations that may bring.
Yes, this is a typical tactic to gain customers, burn money. If you think these incentives will continue should EGS gain some meaningful market share, then you are again mistaken.

Better is subjective, but the whole point of spectral rendering is to be more objective. The visual difference is minor and its relevance to film/games is put into question by the artistic post processing that inevitably distorts the final result. There are some effects that “just work” with spectral rendering though, so you might save some hackery there.

working for ad companies hiding as tech companies?
VSCode and GitHub are honestly great at what they do, granted there are valid criticisms. These are essential daily tools for a sizable population of users, including myself. I think Microsoft has earned a lot of good will by cultivating these, as well as TypeScript and other open-source developer-oriented projects.

Maybe not enough good will though, to recover their reputation from historic and on-going user-hostile moves. I'm really praying that Microsoft doesn't ruin these projects like they've been doing with Windows and Edge.
Somewhat related, but does anyone know how to deal with a .us domain? There is no WHOIS privacy with that TLD. A few hours after I bought a .us domain, I started receiving phone calls from all over the world, literally every 5-10 minutes for days, offering services for my “new business” associated with the TLD.

Is there any way to keep legitimate contacts in the registrar without getting a ton of spam?
This is also why I think paid review won't work although many in academia advocate that. If paper mill remains a problem now, review mill will be much worse when journals start to pay reviewers.
I get being tired of talking about simulation theory...

Personally I think we are in a AI nursery. God is real. Heaven is real. Either we live a good life, and get advanced to the next round of the simulation or we get thrown in the trash.

OTOH, now that I understand the whole 'Grabby Aliens' thing; that's another solid solution to the Fermi Paradox.

Hard to say.
There are multiple kinds of warrants.
I find it more in line with "proofs" of the existence of God than solipsism, but otherwise am equally bored by it.

Especially the argument that simulations are "more efficient" than reality itself and that therefore we are more likely to be in a simulation are uhm... in dire need of some basic understanding of thermodynamics. And statistics.

So you got sold a subdomain? That's a new one for me.
Yes. Old-style pre AWS clouds (ISPs with an FTP+LAMP stack) worked by using UNIX user sharing features. It went out of fashion because Linux wasn't good enough at work isolation and because it was insecure - too many local root escalation vulns. So now clouds all run on custom hypervisors. The VM/hypervisor interface is smaller and easier to secure than the userspace/kernelspace interface. Strangers don't share kernels, they share hypervisors.

Unfortunately FaaS platforms actually suffer twice, because Linux userland is too chaotic to use directly. So you have to boot a clean VM with Docker in it, then install a container into that VM so the user can send you software in the now-standard format, then start up the function.

Booting a Docker container from a standard running Linux system already takes ~100msec if I recall correctly. But 100msec of added latency can actually reduce usage and hurt revenue on big sites, so it's not acceptable. And that's just the inner container. Then you have the cost of booting Linux, cost of downloading the container (docker format is highly unoptimized) etc.

So all these costs add up and then the only way to solve them is to amortize them.

Oracle Cloud is working on a thing called GraalOS which is intended to help address this. It works by letting apps share a Linux kernel and using a userspace "supervisor" that relies on CFI, MPKs and NaCL style binary analysis to prevent code from connecting to the kernel directly. Containers and VMs are no longer necessary in that model and loading an app is just a case of copying it down to a node and mmapping it, but it does mean you have to be able to compile your app for this alternative pseudo-operating system. If you work with Java then you use native-image that makes Java apps compile to native code and start up super fast, so it works.

The simulation hypothesis on its own may be solipsism but it's philosophically useful as a limiting condition of someone's theory of the universe, especially when they're emphatic that it's not a simulation. Have you proved the universe is not a simulation? If so, where is your proof? What is the nature of your proof? How can you have proved this thing?

It is a useful tool for showing someone has overstepped all evidence and logic. Unless someone really does manage to prove it, in which case hand them all the Nobel prizes and Fields medals for the year because they'll have earned them.

Thanks for sharing, Business Class looks really cool! As I mentioned in other comments, I think the situation in JS is similar to other technologies - there are a lot of oss boilerplates, but most of them don't offer the same level of polish and features as the paid alternatives. Also, a good portion of them is outdated or not actively maintained.

And that's exactly what we are going for, just with an open-source, community-driven approach.

I can imagine you had the same motivation when you created your boilerplate starter (not the oss/community thing, but above)?
There was, and is, a lot less rigor in COVID vaccine analysis than most other topics too. My guess as to why has less to do with relaxing analytical standards from the community and more to do with just... data.

The COVID vaccines are novel in a lot of ways, and we know a lot more now than we knew two years ago. And we're still learning. Keeping up with the science, however flawed the rigor is at this stage of minimal datasets, is what that learning is about. Keeping discussion bubbling so that the community has a general idea of what the latest reports are saying.

Of course, all of that is true of RTO (and work from home) as well. As we get more data on companies that are implementing it, we can get better views of how it affects people individually, and at a macro scale from companies on up to populations. And as more companies interpret the reported effects and try similar schemes or variations thereof, all divorced from the pandemic, we'll get even better data which will, undoubtedly, show fracture lines across various demographics ranging from company output, to location, to employee cultural approval, etc.

Put simply: it's dismissive to assume that discussing the latest data about a newer phenomenon is a wholehearted acceptance or tacit approval of that data. Practical academics worth with the tangible material they are given. And so long as you're discussing things on a forum rather than, say, putting plans into action, it's perfectly reasonable to take the data as given and discuss the implications of said data.

If you want to do this mutation-style for some reason, you should use the builder pattern (or whatever it's called). So in this case you'd instantiate a DateBuilder instance instead of a Date instance, and finally call .date() to get the actual Date instance from the builder instance.
