See, he even left a suicide note. Clearly he was thinking about suicide. Case closed.

Doesn't the CPU/GPU bottleneck which is already assumed to be slow actually provide the perfect opportunity for abstraction over a network protocol? Sending "what to draw" and "how" (shaders) over the wire infrequently and issuing cheap draw commands on demand? I think GPUs provide a better situation for a network first model than was available when X was designed.
Apple will be fighting against it every 3 years when DMCA exemptions have to be renewed.

edit: after digging into this, my above statement is false as it no longer needs to be renewed every 3 years
It's actually quite impressive they were willing & able to make such a drastic change in such an old and conservative codebase.
It's definitely possible, and I've seen it done, but obviously for most businesses that have to answer the "coke or Pepsi" question pick one. Nothing is really preventing having both in the same soda machine, but it's rare enough that there must be a reason, likely exclusivity deals and discounts.

Gas stations will usually have both, for example. Fast food places won't.
Not Australian but I wanted to say thanks for all the vids of the melbourne shuffle that came out around that period. Very entertaining for an american teenager
I have an M1 Pro for my work computer, and it's transformed my sense of what I think I can get away with for my next personal machine. Previously I would have just maxed out specs for the chip to what I could afford. My MBP M1 is so good at what it does that I'm now seriously considering just getting an M3 MacBook Air. Still a little annoyed they ditched the wedge shape.

All of this to say that the M1 MBA at $699 feels like an amazing deal. I don't really have a need for one, but it feels like they're giving them away.

You have to dig around a bit to see that this line has a plastic frame, what a waste of their old reputation to put this in the ThinkPad brand, but in truth it's not even deceiving anymore, it's damaged enough that few would trust the name blindly.

> I always wonder why people want some of these items to last forever.

My friend had a NEW Ford that went to the workshop more than 10 times in the first year of use. It's about trust that I will turn on the device and it will work.

> I want new tech

Buy it. I met people who sold their old iPhone and bought a new model every year, nothing against that. My problem is if the IPhone in this first year broke two or more times like my Sansumg.
This is wrong. VR =/= AR

I’ve been in AR since 2010

The AVP is leaps and bounds ahead of where we were collectively technically back then

But I don’t see us appreciably closer to the goal of ubiquitous persistent headworn see through visual computing

It’s a social expectations and data problem it’s not a “technical” problem

It’s probably gonna be decades before we see any regularized mainstream adoption, because the form factor is such a different thing that we’re not even close to make it a simple transition for the least savvy consumer
> The game replayer would need to keep track of each pawn's starting file though (including after promotions).

That seems unnecessary. Don’t index the pieces based on their type and where they started — index them based on their current location. So the piece the lexicographically first (rank, file) is piece 0, and 4 bits trivially identifies a piece once you know the color.
I've had my 65" LED Samsung smart TV for almost 10 years now... it cost about $800 back then. I thought about replacing it recently, but decided against it because it's working great and I don't feel like I'd be gaining much to buy a newer TV. Technology hasn't really advanced that much since 2014...
We're one year into the hysteria of AI replacing engineers and I have to yet see a company that actually did this sort of thing.
My view is that unless you're looking to do something really performance-sensitive (e.g., gaming), specs don't matter nearly as much as user experience: nice screen, nice keyboard and touchpad, decent battery life, good build quality. Entry-level CPUs and SSDs are so good these days that you're really not getting much by spending more on bigger numbers, unless you really care about performance-sensitive use cases.
McDonald's probably has paperwork that shows "ice cream machine broke" doesn't really cost them anything in sales or return visits, so why work on fixing it?

If it was a critical product, they'd have multiple machines per store, just like the friers (often way more than is needed).
The point is Big Data or Hard to Scale aren't as much of a thing with Hardware technology moving forward.
> AI changes the way you work

AI does a whole lot more than that. I imagine that the vast majority of content people consume will at some point be created by AI perhaps with some marginal human input. Probably before your VR vision becomes a reality.
Life's about "experiences" not owning property!
For me the primary purpose of TypeScript is to give my editor information about interfaces so I don’t have to do the menial back and forth of accidentally making a typo in a function name, object param, etc.

I find myself using less type hints in Python because the story for REPL driven development is so much better than JavaScript, and that takes most of the pain away.
It demonstrates Valve have been at this longer than the ~5 years of the Index, and closer to a decade again (the point OP disputes and uses Index as evidence of).
I would be curious how this compares to a more-or-less off-the-shelf text compression algorithm like gzip. My guess is that over the entire database, this would be more efficient than the OP's ad-hoc implementation or any alternative mentioned here.
There have been many tools that were sold as developer replacements over the years.
- Microsoft FrontPage
- Adobe Dreamweaver
- A litany of glorified WYSIWYG editors
- WordPress
- Wix
- Power Apps/SharePoint
...and so on.

Business owners have been getting sexually aroused at the prospect of taking a developer's salary and putting it in their own pockets for decades. Each iteration of this wet dream has only locked businesses into "low code" systems that require even more, highly-specialized developers to operate. Right now, and probably for a while, Devon, et al. is on par with the drag-and-drop automagical app building snake oil stuff.

LLMs are useful to help developers be more productive, which does translate to lay-offs, but until someone creates an AI that can translate the absolute fevered gibberish that comes out of business people's heads into a profitable piece of software, this is just MS FrontPage v100.0.

Just like an entire industry sprang up around fixing WordPress websites that business owners thought they could do themselves, pretty soon we'll start seeing job postings for AI-Generated Spaghetti Unravellers.

I'm (half seriously) imagining a future were software engineers are mostly consultants that show up and talk with business folks, then talk with the local robot, and get the project to actually work. Bill $1k per hour.
If you've just eaten a raw one, here's a fun fact to dwell on while you wait:

The abandoned alien ships in Frederik Pohl's Gateway are specifically described as morel-shaped. It's where I learned a morel is a type of mushroom.
"Privacy" is not illegal in China. China has privacy regulations the US doesn't. Even if law enforcement can see absolutely everything (which they can't) the state still isn't interested in letting random other private parties see everything about you.
Still better than no second factor
Has anyone tried columnar compression of full game states instead of bit packing moves?

64 squares * (Empty | (Black | White) * (King | Queen | Bishop | Knight | Rook | Pawn)) + (Black | White) * (Can castle queenside | Can castle kingside)

It could be encoded as 64 4-bit int columns + 4 bool columns = 260 bits, most of which don't change between moves. Normal columnar encoding and compression strategies could probably reduce that to a few bits per board state.
Won't this mean that the taxi companies will fill the vacuum?
"Conventional fixed-point MM" is a large suite of algorithms. It is correct that this is a 2x reduction in MULs compared to naive fixed-point matrix multiply, but there is a large body of literature out there with other circuits. This is a cool trick to add to the group.
It should at least steal equally.
It's not quite forgotten. It kind of lives on in the pseudo-dot product Wegman-Carter authenticators like UMAC. See Section 3 of [1] for context.

Well, ironically CRT has less blur than LCD in practice unless you only ever look at still images. Both strain my eyes but CRTs would have much better focus by now if they kept on being developed. And as I said and you didn't understand, flicker on CRTs can be reduced by increasing to whatever rate you want, even 200Hz (although 85Hz should be enough) on a cheap 1999 model I have, and most LEDs in light bulbs and absolutely any appliance etc are already flickering at 120Hz at most, so you're basically just picking and choosing what things you think affect you.
That is exactly why I asked: I can't think of a definition that would be both intuitive and that would not rule out reasonable and valid sales strategies for some forms of art.
That’s going to be way too much held over. If I have $4k in income then taxes will be 20-50% of that.

The realtor does not pay the taxes of the brokerage. And all fees are not part of net income and not taxable. They are part of gross income and will not be taxed.
It's not that "style" doesn't matter, it's that you hit quickly diminishing returns after the bare basics of a formatter and maybe naming conventions. And most people who are enthusiastic about "style" push it way, way past this point of diminishing returns.

At the end of the day, I don't really care how you write your code as long as I can read and understand it, which comes 90% down to 1) did you choose clear names, 2) do you have clean abstractions / interfaces. If you did that, write your code however you want. And in fact, it's antisocial to demand that other devs (junior or otherwise) adapt to your own personal idiosyncrasies. Just as in writing prose, different authors have different, clearly intelligible "voices" that distinguish them. Stamping out someone else's voice just to match your own preferences kills the joy of programming for them, you should only do so in the direst of circumstances.

If that is so, the same tech giants are now pushing for passkeys, which is actually close to the ideal solution.
What mainstream languages have a good suite of FP features though?

If you try to write mostly pure code in Java I’m afraid you’re in for a bad time, despite the (big!) improvements of records and lambdas.

Minimum viable FP starts at OCaml, F#, Scala and Closure, yet none of these are mainstream.
Maybe this one will stick this time. I see people are flagging it heavily.

I vouched it, because it's a worthy discussion to have, and it should stay up so people can see it.

The other two were knocked off the top 20+ pages within a few minutes, you'd only notice it if you got lucky.

@dang, can we have an intervention here? Maybe merge the two other dupes together and allow the discussion to be had? People clearly want to talk about it.
In hardware, you control your integer widths completely, so if you add two 32-bit ints to a 33-bit int, there is no chance of overflow. The same goes for multiplications, etc.
Steens Mountain summit is at 9,738′ and is pretty much smack dab in the middle of the darkest region. It's pretty awesome up there.
Pro tip: Estate sales.

Many very good, long-lasting pieces of furniture come on the estate market for very cheap because a) no one wants to move the giant solid-wood china cabinet, or b) you can get a $15 sofa or table mailed to you, why would you want an ugly flower pattern on something that has already outlasted one owner?

Look for Thomasville, Drexel, or similar from the 1950s to the 1980s. Lots of midcentury modern, if you like that sort of thing, but plenty of other designs.

I'm writing this on a desk (currently missing the leather insert in the top) made of solid pecan. We got a 10' china cabinet, dining table that seats 12, and chairs for $300 a while back.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen stackable bookshelves from the 30s-60s lately and they were getting somewhat expensive, which puts a crimp on my obsession to decorate entirely with books.
I like your conception about supporting your kids to grow on what they like. I didn't want to be forced in the medical field by my parents. I liked computers and was dreaming about being a software developer since I was a kid.

But, on the other hand, I do encourage my kid, who is 7 years old, to get his hand dirty with programming. I let them solve problems using Scratch and Minecraft Education Edition.

I am not forcing him to be a software engineer at all. But I can see how software development has changed my approach to solving problems. It trains the mind to tackle problems and solve them.
Wow, the apocryphal story I thought was just that the machines were a pain to clean, so they were always “broken.” I had no idea there was a whole corporate kickback scheme behind it all.
IIRC the big break was betweem PHP 4 and PHP 5, they had very different object model. Otherwise the it's not that different.
Realizing this is a joke, however you only move one piece at a time and there are limited valid moves. Standard chess notation depends on this.
No, I mean it isn't possible for all users to get their upload above their download. Either somebody is literally cheating (and never gets caught) or you just repeatedly invite and kick new users (who take the negative upload away as they get kicked).

You’re making it out to be far simpler than reality. McDonald’s is more than just an ice cream place, they sell Big Macs, fries, a clean place with wifi, and cheap coffee. It would have to be the sum of those worse off than a competitor.

Quests screen isnt good enough for reading so productivity is out. Its a gaming device because it cant really be anything else.
True, I hadn't thought of that.
It doesn't natively support it in the Photos app but 3rd party apps like Moon Player work for the content. None of the solutions are as robust as their implementations on other platforms (i.e. Meta Quest 3) but they're perfectly functional and are constantly getting improved.

I anticipate within 3-6 months, other major offerings will have been ported over and have relative feature parity with their counterparts but with the benefit of the increased resolution and no screen door effect.
That's an interesting point! No we haven't really - for now, I asked a bunch of friends to send me large CSVs - I loaded them on Google Sheets to see how it performs (usually terribly - crashes my browser tab or it's unbearably slow). Then I try the CSV in Pretzel with some filters and pivots and if I don't feel any annoyance with speed, it's a success in my book for now.

We'll definitely need to figure out (a) what's the right thing to measure, and (b) an automated testing/CI to check for regressions and do perf testing
It is more difficult to sim swap a foreign number from another company. Not impossible, of course.

There is also that some services don't accept foreign numbers for authentication. Nor virtual phone numbers.

But it adds a layer of protection, doesn't it? Your known public phone number is one, your verification phone is another one from another carrier.
It's just like any hiring process: get referrals from people you trust, look at prior work (previous purchases/sales in this case), learn the right questions to ask when interviewing.
Go is popular, but so are Javascript and C++. I don't really know that you can draw any sort of conclusion from one language being popular.
In other words, the corrupt and awful taxi and medallion scam, all over again. I wonder how much the incumbent taxi industry had to do with this. If you want to push up competition, convince the government to force your competition, to pay their employees more than you do.
TS has a powerful type system that behaves in strange and counter intuitive ways, particular for people coming from JS. It doesn’t even have a spec, really. I would prefer something less powerful but more predictable, personally.
The problem exists outside the arena of franchisor/franchisee relationships. The downthread idea of a DMCA exemption for repair reasons is a very good one.

In the audit log of the organization you can see an event, but by that time you have lost visibility into what the attacker really executed.

So a malicious tag payload (stage 1) will still remain in events, but Stage 2 will be lost completely (only the fact that log was deleted) and that would not leak any what really was executed with like `curl | bash` could be silent

Most likely the end goal is to backdoor the final artifacts, so one could diff, I guess.

It's common, but stupid. Button mushrooms contain a known carcinogen for rats, agaritine, which is easily broken down when they are cooked. Many other mycotoxins in other mushrooms are rendered inert by cooking as well.

The only penalty is using up your flash's write cycles; but of course, this works to Apple's favor because it means you'll need to replace this thing sooner when the flash dies. Best part? You can't easily replace the flash because it's soldered to the board.... and the amount of people that could do this repair properly is close to non-existent.

> our science has mostly been turned into observations about engineering

You may be joking but that in particular seems pretty astute.

Superficially it seems accurate, and reasonably ascribable to economic forces, fewer concentrations of capital in people (aristocrats) spending it on a hobby interest or academic pursuit of their own - today's equivalents mostly prefer philanthropy (Musk is, I suppose, for whatever else you might think of him, a notable exception - preferring to explore space, AI, etc. not really it seems for personal monetary gain). But I wonder if that is fair, to modern scientists, or is it just that 'all the low-hanging stuff's been done'?
The issue with OSB, unless you get the ECO one, is the formaldehyde. It's basically pieces wood glued together. And generally bad for air quality. A few might be okay, but I've seen entire startup buildings covered in it.
Are restaurants in that state required to stop operating until they address problems like that, or is it one of the states that only lets inspectors make a restaurant stop serving if someone has actually been sickened by those problems?

Typescript has far more powerful type constructs than Java.
My understanding is that most modern games use the OS capabilities for drawing their custom cursor to the screen instead of just hiding it and drawing their own with custom code. The reason for this is that you don't want the cursor to lag when the game experiences delays or when the framerate is poor. Off the top of my head, Crysis was an example of a game that did this wrong, as the cursor would get really choppy in game menus when the framerate was poor.
I'm grateful that I learned this lesson pretty early and pretty quickly. My first time I stumbled upon morels I ate them raw, not knowing any better. Then chased it with some whiskey, thinking the alcohol would kill whatever it needed to. That combo can sometimes be deadly. I have never been so violently sick. I now heed with extreme caution when eating any mushrooms for the first time. I also tend to overcook them out of extreme caution.
A lot of people assume that just because a company has a lot of money that they can freely give away that money to their employees. We've seen this before, Starbucks for example, billion dollar company they have plenty of money to give their employees. No one really takes into account all of the expenses, and what that actually would look like.
I run A1111, ComfyUI and kohya-ss on an AMD (6900XT which has 16GB, the minimum required for Stable Diffusion in 2024 ;)), though on Linux. Is it a Windows specific Issue for you?

If you show up for your shifts a few weeks in a row you are an assistant manager or a shift manager at a fast food restaurant.. After a year you've dealt with some things that would make a maître d' blush if they saw them in ten years of work. If we refused to let the food service industry create distinctions for itself there would probably be a lot of frustrated HR people but a little more mobility..

In many respects the BS of the tech industry is really a refusal to accept a larger universally accepted structure of BS.
That's from 2009. Did they file comments claiming individual-level jailbreaking is illegal in 2012, 2015, 2018, 2021, or this year?

I'm not an Apple employee or direct stockholder. I imagine my 401(k) has some in it, but I don't really know. I'm not claiming they're angels. What I am claiming is that Apple's never told me I'm not allowed to do whatever I want with the things I've bought from them. They might not support me in my ventures, and I'm sure they'd prefer I not, but I'm not aware of any case where Apple tried to legally limit a regular end customer's usage.
You can probably figure out most people's default phone number by googling their name and going to one of those crappy white pages sites. Then try to login/do a password reset to their services and compare the masked phone number to the ones on the site. No advanced hacking or special channels required.

The trouble with compartmentalizing with a separate phone is that the company with your money probably also sold your secret phone number (that they only required for security) so it will probably also show up on that whitepages site.
