Reverse osmosis water filtration systems that use activated carbon are pretty common, and least where I live. We have one under our kitchen sink, and so do my in-laws. Most refrigerators that include a water dispenser come with an activated-carbon-based water filter as well.
Apple was ahead of the curve and influential in the 2000s, but today, they seem to have run out of steam. They just released a $3500 head VR headset that has no purpose and is searching for a problem to solve and which is DOA for at least 5 more years and they are years behind the others in LLM's, which is literally changing the world akin to the iPhone. The company is so inert that they can't even get the Apple Car out.

Frankly, Apple's current market cap baffles me. While Tim Cook is a competent manager, he doesn't quite match up to Satya Nadella. Satya consistently stays ahead of the curve, reminiscent of Apple's prowess in the 2000s. He dissolved Microsoft's AR/VR division months before the explosion of ChatGPT and LLMs and redirected Microsoft's focus to fully embrace LLMs. Managing a colossal company like Microsoft, it's truly impressive how swiftly he can pivot its direction.

In contrast, Tim Cook appears more like a Sundar Pichai-style CEO, adept at weathering storms and maintaining stability. Investors are taking notice, and that's why Microsoft has not only maintained its position but surpassed a $3 trillion valuation, while Apple has faltered. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia eventually surpasses Apple in value too.
That's leaning pretty hard on the technicality of who has the UN chair, with the detail that it's effectively us (NATO) vetoing their recognition.

I think another consideration here is not the internet itself but its distribution. Internet economy is not an anarcho capitalist environment anymore where any opportunity is wide open. It is more restricted to big circles or ecosystems controlled by Big Tech.

Take mobile and app stores. There are teams and people that build so many innovative and better solutions to deal with apps and app stores, yet they are simply not allowed.

AI does not change this norm. VR and AR perhaps, but they are also dominated by the same companies. Web3 was a good bet to change it but seems like it is not happening, at least the way we thought it should happen.

I am still optimistic about the future but possibilities are realistically rarer.

Ref: Yanis Varoufakis also talks about this in context of a digital feudalistic society.
You definitely should continue to use Windows 7 (for games in an offline capacity). Nothing wrong with that and it's exactly what you should be doing for gaming with old games. I legally own Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 10 Pro, and use both of them for playing my old (and wonderful) collection of games. It's the same thing you would do either with just owning a Gameboy/N64/PS1/PS2, etc, or for the desktop case, trying to emulate old hardware on X platform. The former here is more applicable than the latter of course, but both are perfectly valid when speaking about systems used in an offline capacity.

I still like React and unlike many others I even like the newer stuff like RSCs. At the same time, it is hard to shake the feeling that React's core team and associated personalities have lost sight of the changing frontend landscape, and have become disconnected from software design principles. Instead they seem to be chasing some totalizing purity where everything can be handled in the React "model."

IMO, React repeatedly nerfing external stores and encouraging users more and more to shove their application state into React components has exposed what a poor model of reactivity React actually offers.

That said, funding is now available to upgrade water treatment plants for PFAS.

You can also check https://github.com/sequenceplanner/r2r for another example of ROS2 bindings (using in production at work for a couple of ROS nodes).

But TBH, in a Rust world, it’s worth revisiting the assumptions behind the ROS node architecture, since Rust is so strong at scaling to large monolithic applications (due to the strict hierarchical code patterns it encourages).

A transitional Rust approach, that doesn't try to reimplement everything from scratch, could do something like a strangler pattern: Take each ROS node, run them separately in “jails” with a Rust API around each one, then implement the plumbing/management logic in pure Rust.

I was curious about the automated CLA process. It is interesting to me to read the answer about not supporting GitLab:

https://github.com/cla-assistant/cla-assistant/issues/534

Very terse answer that says:

As you noticed, this would mean a completely different line of code

I believe the author is not a native speaker, and means to say that this would require different code for each platform. Sure, that must be true, but the GitLab and GitHub APIs are not that dissimilar.

I felt like this was a very strange response to a legitimate question and it makes me feel like there must be something more there.

Maybe too tangential, but here is my question anyways:

Is there a project that tries to build (using Raspberry Pis for example, or an app on a smartphone) a second global network of privately run nodes. The most similar project I can think of was the Fon project [1] where you would purchase a Fon box and share internet access with all other Fon users. Sort of an organised wifi hotspot club.

But, what I'm thinking about is more something that would just need electricity (vs electricity + ISP) and be running more like a big LAN. Everything would be P2P on it, from DNS to hosting. I think some federated systems could work almost just the same on it but possibilities (and speed) would be very limited.

With all the conflicts and natural disasters happening world wide I've been thinking more and more about ways to still be connected to others through something that would be more P2P even hardware wise.

I know internet (arpanet) started by trying to be just what I describe, but we all know now that it's not how it works anymore with some big centralisation points along the stack.

Is what I'm describing the "infamous" Web3? The few hazy definitions I read don't make it sound like it.

Anyways, if anybody knows any project that ressembles my poor explanation, I'm all ears as I'd like to get on board an promote it.

Do you have an objection to the theory proposed in the article we’re already discussing?
Because the screens are shit, comparatively. Also the OS is years behind.
I did this for quite a while. I am able to tell roughly when something happened based on where I was living at the time. I’ve moved 26 times and finally got sick of it. While I’m not sure how I’ll tell time now, I’ll figure something out.

A lot of people use their kids for this. “Bobby was in 2nd grade, must have been 2014.”
it's just simple math, when you're 1 year old 1 year is the totality of your experience, when you're 2 years, it's half, etc.
Im in a similar position to you. My manager loves rust, so Im fortunate... Weve been developing new tools in rust. Some greybeards actively oppose it though. Im not asking for rewrites but at least new stuff should be written with more modern tools. Rust aint perfect but its hell of a lot better than C++ and CMake magic. My experience has been we can build features far faster with rust than C++ and we deal with legitemate bugs not "which idiot forgot to check the bounds of this array?". I think the biggest pitfall for rust howver is its difficulty in interoping with C++ and the unstable ABI (given how much the robotics community love C++ plugins...).
This is a low quality, very poorly edited and researched piece of borderline content spam.
Nice hypothesis. I've always thought that it had to do with the percentage of life already spent. When you're a teen, an afternoon counts as 0,004% of your whole life thus far. In your mid 30's, it gets down to 0,001%. So to me it's only fair that it feels to pass four times faster now. But this is just a random thought.
In my first paragraph I said:

"got a free product and paid money to do a promotional video about the product?"

It's not just a free product but also money to promote the product.
>There is no such thing “truly serverless”. Your code will be executed by a server. Period.

>Your application will run on one or multiple CPUs, will use the memory, the disk, the network.

But the term "serverless" has never meant "serverless does not run on cpu, does not use any RAM, and does not use disk or network."

You're attempting a clarification for "serverless" that nobody needs because reasonable people didn't actually think serverless/LambdaFunctions/CloudWorkers/etc defied the laws of physics.

"Serverless" from the beginning has always meant not having to do "os management/operations" type of tasks in a vm such as:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install <package>
[...]

Instead, the cloud vendors created ability to run stateless functions which are executed in a "cloud runtime". The "dev" focuses the effort on coding the stateless functions instead of Linux os housekeeping tasks.

And yes -- to pre-empt the discussion from going around in circles... the "cloud's runtime" for stateless functions do ultimately run on a "server" which runs on cpu/memory/disk. And yes, "the cloud is just somebody else's computer". I think we all know that.
In general, smaller organisms tend to consume more calories or resources per mass of body weight than larger ones. One reason, for mammals especially, is that maintaining homeostasis means scaling energy input with surface area, since that’s what radiates away heat. Surface area roughly scales with square of height, while mass scales with volume (cube of height).
Seems to be as simple as a bunch of pressure sensors, in this case.
> All of your questions can easily be understood ...

Then you should be able to make a well informed comment on the matter, as you clearly understand it.

> This is [one reason] why nobody takes these suggestions seriously about personally wealth.

What suggestions? Capital gains tax? I only know of very few industrialised countries not enforcing capital gains tax. So that idea is most certainly taken serious.

> You start the thread saying what people ought to do with their money and presumably having it forcefully taken with little understanding of financial markets.

Can you expand on this? Having money "forcefully taken" is a core feature of modern efficient markets whether you like it or not.

I think those factors are correlated and causal. It is rather challenging to get wealthy with a culture that bans half the population from working for religious reasons.

This has gone back and forth over the last 70 or so years, depending on whether we're currently in AI bubble, or in the aftermath of one. "ML" was pretty much a euphemism, coming in after "AI" became unspeakable after the last big bubble. Remember "fuzzy logic"? That was essentially another one.
I think React (hooks) invents a convoluted solution to a problem that can be solved in a more direct way, and there's a lot of big caveats hidden behind the interface that can cause big performance problem and bug. Their invention also requires a specific way of thinking that contradicts a lot of programming intuitions. Complexity is definitely fine if it comes from the problem itself (rendering), but for React most of the complexity is introduced by itself.

Infinity does exist though.

The benchmark is specifically done on the encoding/decoding steps on the formats. But Cap'n Proto does not have that, so it is, in effect infinitely faster for this step.
Wow, I am not sure how anyone can seriously write this without doubting himself even once.

I get it, you provably not their user, but you can at least appreciate that people are using Apple not only for the status.

My parents are using iPhones after so many android phones and cannot be happier. My mother is using iPad with keyboard after abandoning laptops and PC and couldn’t be happier.

We use Apple in my family, because of the tight integration and ecosystem. We can share photos and videos easier than ever, FaceTime, collaborate, etc… Even new feature with desk sharing in FaceTime is amazing and allow me to help my kid with homework from far away.

My M2 Macbook Pro is the best laptop I’ve ever owned by high margin.

Tight interaction with iOS devices, Apple TV and Homepods is just amazing.

In your world Apple is a status symbol, but in mine - it solves real problems for my whole extended family. Not everything is perfect but saying what you’ve said is just ignorant.

The Vision Pro doesn't exactly seem to have reached what I would normally think of as mass production so I wouldn't be surprised if the scale doesn't really work for them yet.

That said, with raw numbers like this I always have to think of the teardown of the Juicero which revealed that it used numerous custom parts that certainly made it very expensive to manufacture: https://blog.bolt.io/juicero/

The catch with Juicero of course is that while the parts were very expensive, it could have been made much cheaper by using standard parts instead of the custom ones. I'm not saying that's the case here but it's worth taking these things with a grain of salt.
The other post [0] tagged as "ai" doesn't either, and they're both [1] dated yesterday.

I tried opening it on an iPhone and it seemed completely broken.
I would imagine that's why the GPL requires the release of derivative works under the same licence. At present that doesn't extend to hosting on the cloud. But then again developers of peer to peer file sharing software like Kazaa have been hounded quite extensively which seems to me to have been a factor in the development of today's cloud infrastructure.

On the flipside Microsoft and OpenAI don't appear to respect copyright now.

Perhaps with IPv6 not needing Network Address Translation we can go back to a peer to peer world. IoT would require it.

If you don't like returning an interface because the caller can't tell what it does, why is accepting an interface any better? Don't you end up in the same conundrum of not knowing whatever it is that you need to know about foo.IssueReceipt() if someone passed foo into your function?
Re 2: The Houthis hold enough territory to be considered a nation-state (or at least a pseudo-nation-state) rather than just a terrorist group.
I think this is kind of foolish. You should pick whatever tech your team is familiar and comfortable with, and avoid building insanely complicated monolithic apps that will be hard to port to the next technology (or version) your future developers will be familiar and comfortable with.

Also, I doubt too many front-end apps will have the long lives of the COBOL code that runs on IBM mainframes.
I don't buy it either. I've had tons of chile beers and they are typically spicy. I once made a habanero stout and that thing was undrinkably spicy for years.
I went and did some research, and have a friend who's a material scientist. The harms of PFAS are pretty substantial. Teflon is nasty; if you can do without it in your cookware, you probably should.

However, statistically the things that are most likely to prevent you from passing on your genes are:

1. Not making enough money.
2. Anxiety/depression
3. Drug overdoses
4. Car accidents
5. An unhappy family life
6. Swimming pools

And on that list of offspring averted, PFAS basically don't register. You are much better off making sure you get into a good career, talking to your kids about drugs, being very careful when you drive, and otherwise not sweating the small things than obsessing about forever-chemicals in the atmosphere.
Possibly making explicit that while it might go over before their suspension logic kicks in, you won't be charged for it on a free tier.
He mentions three cloud services, two of which (vultr.com, ZFS.rent) just provision a bare VM which he has to manage.

And it's not the easy type of sysadmin work where the systems are identical - he's got a mix of Mac, Linux and BSD so 3 different init systems, 3 different disk encryption systems, and so on.

And despite the fact he's paying for three different hosted off-site backups, and he's got five backups within his own home, he still feels he needs to haul an extra backup to the bank every month?

This is the sysadmin equivalent of building a bunker stocked with canned food "just in case" there's a nuclear war.
Sure, that must be true, but the GitLab and GitHub APIs are not that dissimilar.

Which they address in the later part of their answer which you leave out:

Surely most parts of the project could be reused, but this development would still mean a huge investment, which we can't afford. Nevertheless all kinds of contribution are still welcome and we would try to provide our support as good as we can.

Lifetimes are indeed unique, but hardly take up much syntactical space.

? operator is fine, especially if you’re used to JS or C#, and hardly take up much space.

Pointer types are what, & and * ? Fine if you’re coming from c, c++ and don’t take up much space.

.async is the weirdest for sure, but again hardly strange or disgusting.

What about any of this is worse than if I smashed my face into my keyboard but hit only the $*%#•¥$><~.,!=&@£.?!’ characters, aka writing Perl? Or anything as totally alien as Haskell?

Most Rust I read or write, if I squint, looks like Python with a few extra braces and semicolons.
I don't know Canadian rail history, but in the U.S. I'd suspect that the settlement did exist - at least in the RR's marketing plans. And maybe in some dusty legal paperwork, too. And at some point there might even have been a RR work camp, or logging camp, or some such.
