Quality titles still sell just fine. I want smaller, more unique titles that take less time and resources to develop. I want to see new concepts; I want someone to spark my imagination. The next billion dollar Rockstar/EA/ActiBlizz/Open world Zelda is more than likely not going to do that. I've been more impressed by what kids and nerds are doing in GMod and Roblox than anything that has come out of a major studio in years.

This is the paradox of software as is today- we are good at adding crap on top, we are bad at replacing what’s underneath.

Now, in cloud native we have decomposed applications - logging is now separate, so is storage, etc.

I should be possible to change the stack underneath without anyone noticing, or at least with minimal disruption to operations.

Apple changed in about 1996. When Steve Jobs came back he ended all of that 3rd party business. It was costing his company money. They went from a starting to thrive secondary clone market. To a closed off eco system pretty much overnight. It used to be fairly easy to get info on parts and what to do from Apple. That singular act saved Apple from becoming the next IBM. However, it doomed the rest of us to this weird dynamic of Apple choosing when to help the little guy out or not. Usually it seems to fall on the 'not' side. If Apple had always been this way it would not be as frustrating.
Now that the euphoria is over, focus can shift to protectionist measures against those producing real, practical, cost effective/disruptive EV's --- mainly the Chinese.

This will provide existing manufacturers time to realize that they have no other viable choice over the long term except to build EVs that can compete with the Chinese. Otherwise, China will own most of the global auto market --- which was their plan all along.

It would be interesting to know if this is a common experience among sociopaths. I had always thought that behaviors like theft resulted more simply from the lack of empathy (and desire for the stolen item), rather than resolving some kind of internal tension.

> Postprandial somnolence, commonly known as “food coma”, is a normal state of drowsiness or lethargy following a meal. It occurs when you consume foods with a high glycaemic index (GI) - https://www.healthhub.sg/live-healthy/your-medical-questions...

"Food coma" is from carbs/sugar. :)

$100/year sounds like a lot to host a personal blog on a shared server (having "compute intensive backend" doesn't sound typical though to be fair). On some big providers like Hetzner, that would buy into their third tier of service, where for most people the first would be fine.

There are lots of places for VPS cheaper than what you pay now. And if you want to go really cheap then you can always take a gamble on lowendbox.com (and set up backups). Some providers do basic stuff for $10-12/year and there are various flavours of installers for common open source packages like blogging tools.
A number of people attempted to achieve speed records on beaches, and not all survived. And this wasn't Ocean City, Maryland, in a modern July. The local authorities would have had something to say if anyone, even a millionaire (when a million was a lot) had tried this on an occupied stretch of beach.
Neither do I, and I despise this article, the author, and the outlet for inducing unwarranted anger and sensationalism that only adds noise to a very serious matter.
"Boeing Overwrote" makes it sound like they actively did something to cause the footage to be lost. Most video surveillance systems record to a giant circular buffer, newest video overwrites oldest video automatically. In many cases there are no standards or requirements for specific retention periods, and 30-60 days is a common max storage duration. The logic being that for most incidents, you know about it in plenty of time to go back and archive the relevant video.

This looks like a scenario where there should have been standards in place for video retention, at a minimum for particularly sensitive operations where effects might not be realized for months, or even years.

We also get two hours in Algeria and la siesta is very common (generally known with its french name "la sieste"). I always took a siesta and I still take it to this day. It helps immensely with productivity. Giving up to a little nap after lunch gives a very refreshing and energising restart for the rest of the day.
I read years ago that having a decent breakfast almost completely removes the blood sugar drop that happens after lunch.

It makes sense. Digesting lunch takes a lot of energy from the body. But if you’ve had a good breakfast, you’ll have plenty of energy available from breakfast to keep your brain active. And you can eat less for lunch, too.

I haven't looked at the treatment of socialists - I just addressed the stoning of blacks.

IIRC union busting in the US was quite violent and sometimes involved the police and | or military aiding in charging and beating strikers with clubs and occasional deaths, frequent injuries.

Again, not stoning but would count as violence towards socialists | communists | workers.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_union_busting_in_th...

1916 - 1925 seems to be a peak time of extreme violence toward unions.

It’s possible to avoid the post lunch productivity lull by changing what you eat for lunch.

Who's calling for longer recordings? The NTSB or random people who don't know anything about crash investigations or politicians trying to win points with voters? Would longer recordings really help with investigations? From all the videos I've seen about them, maybe it's just selective memory, I can't recall a single time the NTSB pointed out they needed longer recordings to do or complete their investigation. I also can't think of any case off the top of my head where it would have helped in any way, much less a significant enough number to justify the cost (financial or otherwise).

Where is this call for longer recordings coming from, exactly?

This is a loaded question and I can't see how it's related.

A victim of Maoist violence was deplatformed by socialist students. Do victims of socialist governments represent such an abhorrent ideology?
I'm curious if you genuinely believe it's worth listening to the nuance of a racist's arguments. Not everyone getting shouted down at universities are avowed racists, but some are, or transphobes, or have vocally opposed women's humanity (you can't call for the removal of women's bodily autonomy and square that with believing they're equal humans to men). So for the racists, what is there to learn?

Not to mention that the entire modus operandi of reactionary ideologies is a dependence on fallacious arguments, rhetorical dishonesty, bad faith arguing, etc. Engaging with them is nearly always a waste of time.

There's no point in debating reactionaries. They don't deserve it - they're not interested in "the marketplace of ideals," they're interested in muddying the waters and justifying violence.

Shouting them down is the only thing they really deserve. In another world, maybe ignoring them would be the only thing they deserve, but they don't exist in a vacuum - they have followers. It's good to remind people that the majority of us find these ideas intolerable.

But surely "not really constructive" and "muddy the water" implies a judgment—a pre-judgment—that the speech itself ought to be allowed to face. If he speaks and his ideas are "not really constructive" and "muddy the water", then the listeners can decide what to do with the ideas, both within their own minds and in conversation afterward. If he's not allowed to speak, then the people preventing the speech are enforcing their own opinions by violence. This behavior actually implies that his ideas are of more merit, because if the ideas were not really constructive or entirely lacked value, then the listeners could dismiss them thoughtfully.

Or could it be that modern students don't have the ability to think carefully about or make good judgments about speech?

Sorry I am not a "libertarian", republican or even a democrat but can we please try our best to keep politics out of this discussion, its such a low brow way to share your point.

I simply pointed out that when it comes to building infrastructure, right of way typically means the ability to build said infrastructure using someone's property. That could be land rights, rights to the transmission pole, rights underground etc. Additionally I was simply pointing out that people may be served by other forms of internet connectivity already (including starlink). That is all, nothing about politics, sorry to have ruffled your feathers.

There is also not enough money in rural powerlines or rural roads yet somehow we manage to build those.
That's Sweden though, there's a huge difference in the major metros and remainder. In the US it's far different. Outdoor recreation is a huge driver which in Sweden is very much comparatively limited. Rural / non-major metro areas homes have values have been increasing even faster as well as the rates of new construction in those areas.

For one thing, public transportation is absolute garbage and basically useless outside of NYC. DC, Chicago, and Boston are pretty much the only other cities where being dependent on public transportation is really viable. Of course you can do it in other places and millions of poverty stricken people do but it's rarely by pure choice.

Then it basically boils down to what's the point of living in the city? If opportunities for work are removed from the equation, it is mostly just going out to eat / drink and to the big ticket events that don't exist in smaller towns.

The dining and entertainment options are increasing and vast in small towns while urban venues are closing and there is a huge trend of the major event centers moving to suburban areas. The preference for outdoor recreation vs big ticket events means you are simply driving into the city for those things but able to enjoy much more of the things for which you had to previously drive out of the city.

The remaining big factor, which is probably not prevalent in Sweden to the extent that it is in the US is crime and the reality is you are far more likely to be victimized in urban environments. Police responses are lacking and most people don't even bother reporting low level property crimes anymore.
Yes, this is the way. In every company I've worked, lunch break has been 1:30 long - between 12 and 13:30. It's also a "no meetings" timeslot.

I get a similar feeling looking at instructional videos from that era[0][1], or reading books like Stick and Rudder[2][3], or even the simple brilliance of the visual design of the London Underground[4]. There's a pervasive sense that despite the reams of progress that has been made in the science of human factors, simple straightforwardness is becoming an endangered species.

Apple Adjusts DMA Plan to Offer Direct Downloading of Apps from the Web
Was the UK one of the powers of democracy fighting against dictatorships in WW2?

UK paused elections for 5-6 years during an existential war. Ukraine is currently fighting an existential war.

It’s very likely that all continental European democracies also would have voluntarily suspended elections, but they were occupied by the German Nazi government and not given a choice.

Finland, another democracy, also decided not to have their people vote for a new president in 1940 due to WW2. They also postponed their 1943 parliamentary elections.

> Due to the lingering threat of another war and the Karelian refugees' dispersal throughout Finland, regular presidential elections were cancelled, and instead the two hundred and eighty eight 1937 presidential electors were summoned to select a new President.

If they think they can get something out of admitting, why wouldn't they?
I'm not sure how it answer to what I say.

What I've said is that:

1) the majority of attempts are not successful, so "yet it can consistently expel people from it for disagreeing" is just incorrect, so there is no paradox.

2) the people organising or allowing the events in the first place are the one in charge. If indeed the "complainers" are in charge, how is that possible that the event got the initial green light, or that the event is not simply shut down by the ones in charge when they realise they don't like it?

3) attempts are from every directions. For example, Christian student groups are organising lobbying to deplatform some stuffs they don't like for ages. It feels like this idea that it's now "all leftist" is in fact slightly "now the leftists are doing what the others were doing all along, so long that we did not notice". (not saying it's not the case, just that it's slightly biased: people trying to deplatform something you think is fair to talk about are "against free speech", people trying to deplatform something you think is stupid are just "reacting normally")

"Over the next few years, our team of five grew to 20. Four times the size does not equate to four times the productivity"

A lot of this reminds me of my first job as a software developer.
My first big project, a complicated CMS web project, trying to peice together something with EVER CHANGING ideas from the client. There was a Senior developer and 2 juniors (myself included)

The senior was getting so fed up with the project, it was really me and the other dev trying to keep it together. At the time, we did not have the authority to speak up like the senior could.. so we did our best.

One day, without the senior, our manager wanted us to build a Gantt chart and see how long it would take to complete the project. We spent the whole day on it and were very proud of the flow. Everything was organised and reasonable. Our manager would look at it for a few seconds and say:-
"This is really good, guys. I see the two of you believe you can get this done in 9 months. Try and slash it to two"

I looked at the other dev. We were both shocked. We spent a WHOLE DAY on this Gantt Chart yet the end date was already locked in place! What was the point doing this?

The manager would say other stupid comments, similar to the quote I covered above, that if we "could get another person on this with you, it would two weeks instead of four" type of thing. His viewpoint that, to get our gantt chart to two months, was simply to add more resources. Even a JUNIOR developer like myself at that time knew it doesn't work like that!

I couldn't help but think of various sentences from Fred Brooks' Mythical Man-Month.

This other junior dev... we went our seperate ways... but we are still in contact, and meet up a few times a year.

(looking back, I see areas I could have done better. Of course I have nearly 20 years experice as a software developer. I am just disappointed in the senior dev. I am basically his age now that he was then. As long as I am treated with respect and proof they are willing/keen, will go out of my way to help younger devs)

So how did this great rich nation, leader of the free world, owner of the largest army, manage to get cables to all those imperial square feet of people for power, telephone and water and is now in 2024 at the height of its power incapable of getting a much thinner cable in the same direction?

> Most video surveillance systems record to a giant circular buffer

Right...because the alternative is stopping recording at a full buffer and losing new videos, instead. Considering recency is generally most valuable (followed by total length), this would be the sub-optimal option.
While ten minutes seems like too little, my elementary school lunch was 20-30 minutes and all my memories of it were that I had an abundance of time. They had to force us to stay at lunch longer as the teachers needed more time to eat before going outside to oversee recess.

My grandparents (born around the 30s) never described it as a common thing here in the north. I can't vouch for previous periods, but siesta mostly makes sense for outdoors jobs in hot climates (where it's actually a great idea), so I would assume it was never common in the north as the climate is much cooler.

In the south, it's also becoming less common with the change from rural to urban living and from outdoors to office jobs.
I believe kubernetes is a little misunderstood- kubernetes is not software, and is not an abstraction on top of cloud. It’s an attempt at creating a standard-ish API for cloud.

It’s currently being implemented as an abstraction on top of existing systems, because cloud providers have to leverage what they have and because its API still lacks all the functionality. But gradually it became a managed service that can provision databases, etc, and in another 5-10 years most cloud interactions will happen through it

Another point, and I'd love to be corrected here, is that with a container of water you're going to get a ton of convection currents leading to a much sharper heat gradient at the edges, resulting in significant heat losses with the same amount of insulation.

At a guess, and I confess I'm not capable of running the numbers, this offsets the much higher temperature delta of sand.
