Generalizations like "the tech industry has a liberal bias" are so reductive that they aren't useful. One of the pitfalls in discussions about the overall politics of the tech industry is a lack of nuance. Another is a general inability to ask the important question "who has the power in this industry?"

Is Elon Musk liberal? What about Paul Graham, Larry Ellison or Peter Thiel?

There is an enormous difference in the politics of rank and file employees at most tech companies and the founders/executives/management. This is true of nearly every industry. If you think the biases of regular tech workers matter more than the biases of the management and leadership of these companies — or fail to make a distinction — then you will probably come to a different conclusion about the biases of the industry as a whole.
And this truth is probably the biggest reason why they killed the program.
I think the parent comment's point is that even without AI warmongers find pretexts to bomb neighborhoods, schools, and hospitals; the AI would just add another via of deniality.
Yeah, we’re getting closer to “Her”
Totally disagree. My phone is a Xiaomi Mi6- released 7 years ago. Works perfectly for everything, I'm writing this comment on it now. Costed me about €300 (I think) in 2018. Excellent product.

(Worst fault: the back side is made of a material that is slick in the actual sense of the word: it seems to have next to zero static friction, with result that if left on a table it will move at sub-noticeable speed towards the nearest edge. It might take it one hour but it'll get there, and then fall, all by itself. Unusable without a plastic cover).

>They're bullies and they get away with it because they make some of the most consistently high quality first party games.

You can look at it this way: Nintendo makes the most consistent high quality first party games and have the lowest hardware spec. So they are most prone to piracy and unauthorized emulation and thus get the most attention when lawsuits come up.

MS has 99% of its games on PC and Playstation specs are so hard (or maybe lack of interest. Probably many things) that gen 7 tech is still difficult to emulate in Gen 9. So Nintendo has the biggest target.

>but everyone is realizing that the future is an open platform.

If "release a port 2-3 years later on Windows OS to double dip" is "open platform", I kinda get why Nintendo defends their platform so rigidly. They are all closed down source games on closed down source OS's hosted on closed down source storefronts. There's no legal distinction there, just technical preferences of the minority who take the time to figure out how to setup emulation.

And despite all that, Nintendo sells more on one system than both competitors on all platforms combined. I don't think they are worried about sales. Especially since they aren't chasing 300m dollar productions with 10 hours of cinematics.

I now kind of want to figure out where you work and try to get a job there that would put me in a management position above you, just to show that even WFH is not enough to save you from stupid management rearrangement of things. It might go something like this:

> Morkalork, I've noticed in our team Zoom meetings when you look at something on your second monitor you look to the left. Everyone else has their second monitor on the right and its really distracting to see you go left when everyone else goes right.

> I'm going to need you to move that second monitor over to the right.
> to make floats less scary for the common people?

The obvious thing would be making sure that it's easy to get a unambiguous, natural representation of what a float value actually is. (Similar to what C printf %a specifiers produce, rather than something like Ryu float-to-decimal, which is useful for what a float value means for human-readable purposes.)

0X1.999999999999AP-4
+0X1.999999999999AP-3
=0X1.3333333333334P-2
≠0X1.3333333333333P-2

is ugly (and could be improved[0]), but far more understandable (and less superstition-inspiring) than:

0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004 ≠ 0.3

0: At the very least, please make it easy to get "0xA.BCDEFp+1", with capital "ABCDEF" and lowercase "xp", so the digits look like digits and the punctuation looks like punctuation.

We are currently using Elasticsearch, and can only store a tiny amount of the data because of how much we use. 5 days at most.

Im quite confused on why it is popular in the first place. The ux is horrible, customer service is non existent, the speed of delivery is the same or slower as others and the price is the same as others.
You can update the system prompt in the settings. Admittedly this is not mentioned in the README, but is customizable.
This is exactly right. This kind of structured logging is great, but it doesn’t replace metrics. You really want to have both, and simple unsampled metrics are actively better for e.g. automated alerting for exactly those reasons. They’re complements more than substitutes.

What if two bin files have the same name but are different? What does /System/Index/bin do with that? E.g., “uninstall.sh”.
Someone decided to shoehorn Windows Program Files into Linux? Yikes.

Jokes aside, this completely ignores the fact that there is a reason for /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin and /etc and the sbin directories. A lot of it has to do with permissions. If you've ever been a member of a multi-user server you might understand.

I will grant you tho; a lot of people never bother learning and just shove binaries where ever they can get it to work first.

I’m trying to get my head around the L/D being independent of mass. Does lift scale with airspeed at the same rate as drag? Or is L/D only considering lift-induced drag (whatever the term is) and not total drag including parasitic drag?

I'm not sure it's a big mystery. It's pleasant to write and allows devs to get things done quickly. Many of your criticisms are strange..

For instance, I don't see how it's necessarily a memory hog. I wrote a (relatively simple) Windows/Linux GUI application in Python that I use regularly, and it uses around 20MB of RAM.

I'm not familiar with how many breaking changes have been made in Python 3, but I suspect there haven't been many major ones in the last 10 years (since 3.4). It would be interesting to see a list, though.

> People think that the insurer will try to keep costs down, but in fact, if prices go up they can charge more for insurance

This isn't really how they make money. Insurers make their profits by limiting the amount that they have to pay out.

The reason why owning both the care provider and the insurer is wrong is that it makes denying or "moving care" to less costly locations easier.
Yeah, when you’re broke. The average American is struggling to pay for food, an electric car is the last thing on their minds.

Oh you absolutely can change an engine at sea. Naval aircraft are very modular for good reason. Engines can be removed and tested (there's a whole massive test jig and setup on the fantail for it), and removed and replaced at sea.

A whole wing replacement, I'm actually not sure but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

You might not see a port for nine months or a year -- that's not an acceptable amount of time to just have a plane or multiple planes down waiting on parts that are available. There's no way to get them off the ship other than a crane pierside if they can't fly.

What are the MacOS and hardware requirements? How does it perform on a slightly older model, lower powered Mac? I wish I could test this to see how it would perform, and while it's only $10, I don't want to spend that just to realize it won't work on my older, underpowered Mac mini.
Do you find this results in less overall test code to maintain since you likely have fewer but higher quality/signal tests?
I planted a Pawpaw about 20 years ago. Can't say it's doing great but it's not dead yet. Takes like 20 years for them to start producing fruit. Last year one of my daughters told me it had a single fruit on it, and then told me she'd ate it, so I've still not seen a Pawpaw on it
They could spend $20 worth of developer time doing it, or they could pocket the $20. Either way, millions of people will continue using their app. It doesn't effect their bottom line.
Everything Apple makes is ultimately still meant to be practical. I feel like the Apple car would be more like "Corolla, but very high end, and 3x the price" rather than a supercar.

Hmm I don’t think the SpaceX metaphor works super well here.

One is an established tech company trying to do business in a space it’s unfamiliar with. It has existing forces pulling it in a certain direction because it already makes money in those ways. Google is the perfect example of how this hampers innovation. It’s one of the reasons the concept of Alphabet exists.

SpaceX has one singular purpose. It’s not like it was trying to counterbalance its burgeoning space business with existing cost and profit centers that are not even tangentially related to its primary goal

This is such an obvious solution. Kinda crazy that the whole world uses Debian and such, while this exists since 2002 (it's older than Ubuntu). I mean, yeah, I didn't switch to NixOS despite it being "obviously better" too, but it feels like there must have been much less friction 22 years ago to adopt better design.

What if, hear me out, the wheels were on the sides and not front and back. It uses gyroscopes to keep itself balanced. Instead of twisting the handle or pushing a button like a savage you lean in the direction you want to go! This is a totally new idea and not a product that was released over 20 years ago and since discontinued.
This is exactly the strategy I have discovered to bring the most value as well. And honestly, something that simplifies the setup of those containers is pretty great.
Roughly speaking, both lift and drag are proportional to v^2 for a given geometry.

Neither lift nor drag has anything to do with mass. They are entirely determined by the surface of the object, and are not affected at all by the interior properties, including density.
Lots of papers reaching for that conclusion, but put it all together and it would take giving every benefit of the doubt to a dozen sites to believe it.

In other words, maybe they were high-functioning, it's just possible. But I wouldn't bet on it.

It's important to understand the factors driving consolidation in the healthcare industry as this goes beyond UnitedHealth Group. Everyone is sort of gradually converging on a "payvider" model like Kaiser Permanente with everything under one parent corporation. Payers and providers have been merging for years in order to gain more negotiating power over claim reimbursement rates. Regulatory compliance issues and IT costs are also killing off small, independent medical practices. In many regions a few large health systems now dominate the market. So, the only way for payers to hold down costs is to build up captive provider organizations where they can drive some operational efficiencies and economies of scale.

It’s amazing how early Dealextreme was on this, though as a business, their success was based on exploiting the Universal Postal Union rates for China along with the de minimis tariff threshold. Shein and Temu are also exploiting the latter, but have much more sophisticated operations around logistics, supply chain, and spinning up thousands of new, high mix, low volume SKUs a day, along with an insanely efficient marketing machine.
Cloud Run is great, but imho Cloud Functions are even better. It is just a simple http handler.

The entire deployment can be easily defined in github actions. Combine that with Cloud Tasks and a Cloud SQL Postgres instance and you have a near infinitely scalable solution.

I ran a system like this where over 30k servers across 7 different data centers all over the US, were hitting cloud function endpoints 24/7 with 30-50+ RPS and I never had a single failure or outage over multiple years. Even better, the whole thing never cost more than about $100/month.

I had a couple of large pawpaw trees in the backyard of the house I lived in when I went to University of Michigan (and later lived for a while after graduation), and I saved a lot of seeds. They pretty much all germinated and I'm in the process of growing a bunch more in my new place a few towns over and with a lot more acreage. There are now quite a few growers and professional greenhouses with trees available, so you don't have to wait 20 years to see fruit. I bought a couple 5 year old trees and I'm giving them one more season to finish establishing before I actually let them fruit, but they did produce blossoms last year and if I'd wanted to pollinate them, I could have had a few hands. Usefully, they are relatively unattractive to the huge and very frustrating deer population in this area, so they're doing better than the tart cherries I spent a pretty penny on.
If I was a 10000 IQ Apple exec 10-15 years ago this is the exact project I would pitch, so that when the economy became shaky I would have a $100b+ project to cancel.
