>It significantly improves aerodynamics

Do you have any numbers to back up that claim?

Is it really a significant margin that makes a measurable difference in range, or an insignificant one in the grand scheme of things that can be ofset if the driver has a bigger lunch? Because then it's just a design flex, not a engineering win.

My gut feeling based on a few years working in automotive is that you're talking bull. No offence.

The major benefit of a Game Boy emulator on iOS is how much it would increase access to Game Boy games. While I love Analogue, their limited quantity stocks and high price tag make them a high barrier to entry. The iOS emulator would be an incredibly low barrier to entry.
If you can come up with a way to monetize a "free" video platform without ads, you could sell the idea alone for billions.

When Is Code Generation Useful?
Start with a user diagram. What user is suppose to have in mind? I feel like "I want to discover OSS projects" is too general and niche at the same time.

For example, "Free Photoshop alternative" is a lot more likely scenario where such service might help. Btw I think https://alternativeto.net is pretty good for that.
I think having recently been through WW2 where "reasonable things" included tasks like "hey let's disarm this unexploded bomb by chilling it in liquid oxygen." fundamentally altered people's risk calculus for a generation or two.

Did he did what you asked him to do? And was that about creating/delivering something specific? Or did you pay him for sitting on a chair for 8+ hours thinking exclusively for you? If one hires an X and he gets the X job done, then why would it matter if he works in 200 other jobs?

I see this edit added later:

>But he simply didn't have the time to execute because he was secretly splitting his time between 3 companies. So he was fired for low productivity, even though he had all of the skills needed to be extraordinarily productive.

That would be a legit reason to fire them!

Or it could be a post-facto rationalization ("he worked elsewhere too, so he couldn't have been productive"). Parent already said he was fired when they found out he working at another 2 places, which is different from the new story that they saw "low productivity".
Agreed with all your points, but the clear issue here is wrongly believing that any apps on iOS / android can be: free from tracking, stable UI over time, trustworthy, privacy-preserving, non-addictive, etc.

There are some rare exceptions to this rule, but for the most point smart phone apps are bad for the user, and built to favor the company who's provided them.
Looks like straight button-pushing, for folks who share truthout's emotions.

Here's some quick gov't numbers on were all the money went (in 2022) -

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf (See page 109.) Summary - the Pentagon got ~12% of the budget. Interest on the national debt was ~7%...and probably growing far faster.

> The solution is a budget that changes these priorities to divest from militarism and invest in human needs here and around the world — something that’s only possible if taxpayers take a more active role.

Since those "human needs" seem to already be getting ~6X the funding that the Pentagon is, is truthout shouting for change...to the current status quo?
Sure! Each instance of Postgres runs inside a qemu VM, inside a kubernetes pod. The VM provides isolation, autoscaling, metrics, and (eventually) live migrations. These VMs share AWS Metal nodes.

Exploring the Concept of "Misinformation as a Harm"
Thanks for the trust and the belief, and we know that we need to prove it and live up to it by actually delivering on the results of product longevity.
Please do expand a little on those strategic things of interest to you.
Excuse me but what the fuck do you mean by "witch hunt?" This man slanders people he doesn't like, calling down the hounds to harass, dox, and threaten his enemies. He's a man in a position of incredible power, being criticized for harmful actions -- that's the opposite of a witch hunt. But when he scapegoats his enemies, he's organizing actual witch hunts against the powerless.

Trump likes that term, "witch hunt," too. This is pure narcissism. He plays the victim when his extremely public misbehavior is noticed and has consequences. Musk is no different.

> Let's focus on people's achievements rather than their differences.

No, Hitler wasn't a cool dude because of his accomplishments. We evaluate the whole person. Always have, always will.
Why bother thinking...

For the record, I don't think something like chemicals or whatever make people gay, I actually believe something that is for some reason more inflammatory. The religious aspect is a major driver. The prevalence of homosexuality is a social thing, sexuality is largely not innate and is learned behavior. I don't believe Roman society as it existed for example would be possible if it were otherwise. A society with institutional pederastry, where men were often expected to engage in sex with other men, one where there wasn't even a word for homosexuality, but that had strict codes of sexual conduct nonetheless, is absolutely impossible if sexuality were innate from birth in the majority of the population.
Actual title of the article is “Ship that caused bridge collapse had apparent electrical issues while still docked, AP source says”.
InterlockedCompareExchange is supposed to be an atomic compare-and-swap API. "Compare-and-swap" means the swap only occurs if the comparison succeeded, ie if the previous value of `*dest` was `compare`, then `xchg` is written to `*dest`. "Atomic" means that another thread cannot make changes between the two steps; if another thread did come in and modified the value between the comparison and the swap, the swap would not occur.

A proper implementation would use some kind of locking in the worst case, but usually would rely on hardware features to provide this atomicity. For example, on x86 this is done by the CMPXCHG family of instructions.

The mock implementation is not atomic. Another thread can change the value between the comparison and swap and the swap will still happen. As for the fix, there might be an intrinsic for it in the W95 SDK, or worst case an inline assembly implementation using CMPXCHG would do the job.
Spending 16 years in development is also not an amazing look, but if we run with that - no, 45% adoption after 12 years certainly is bad. As a reference point, it looks like Cisco gear has a ~5 year process for EOLing things. So 12 years is a while, even if it was purely driven by old gear getting replaced.

Edit: I should caveat - I don't have good data on actual lifespan of networking equipment; if you can show that it's likely to live more than a decade then that would be reasonably compelling.
I've recently actually switch to Emacs from VSCode.

I've done the journey Vim -> VSCode -> Emacs -> Neovim -> Kakoune -> and then Emacs back again. This time I'm sticking with it. The reason is simply that I think it provides capabilities for:

- great devdocs and info pages integration

- automations (compile project, set up project specific
bindings etc.)

- email (mu4e)

- navigation (vertico + ripgrep integrations)

- note-taking (howm)

- magit for git handling

... and then everything else it comes with. I'm quite a big fan of everything being minimal and text only.

I have to say that the author's story is sad. It is scary how Microsoft is locking down the ecosystem though through their pair-programming tools and other integrations. I really wish we could use the tools we prefer rather than succumb to Microsoft overlords.
There is a go implementation of a CAS which syntax similar to Mathematica which uses this rules based integration library.

They do make some effort to push the “confidential cloud” aspect of their product, where the AI is supposed to somehow operate on your encrypted data, but these days I only believe it when I see the white paper. It is unfortunately quite common in our industry is to posture as more security-conscious and privacy-focused than you actually are.
> - GPS works even in airplane mode (while on a literal airplane) - It works without cell service, or wifi, or anything

Maybe this is a conception that some people have when their first experiences of using GPS was on a smartphone?

But my first couple GPS receivers were standalone devices without any sort of data connection, so it seems obvious to me that GPS doesn't require data.
I pre-ordered the rewind, and noticed that I'll be upgraded for free! But my question is for the subscription, will there be any discounts for the pro plan?

Railroads have the idea of the lowest tunnel on a track.

Rock climbing has the idea of the "crux" of a route.

Chemistry has the idea of the "rate limiting step" of a reaction.

So if an endeavour has a whole chain of things that need to go right (things that need to be mastered) for success, say A-B-C-D-E-F, and D is the most difficult thing, and there's some simple test T that predicts performance on D even for people who don't yet know A, then I'd say "good gatekeeping" would be to encourage people who do well on T to try to get to F, and advise people who do poorly on T that they might wish to spend their time and energy attempting something else, instead of putting in all the effort for A, B, and C only to never make it to F.
Sir: surely you aren't suggesting that The Humans are going about this whole thing wrong, are you? Because that would be crazy.
I don't think it ever mattered really, it's "just .NET" since 4 years ago anyway.

I had it already, Covid made it much worse.

NHS tinnitus awareness course had a bit about accepting it as background noise (vs just concentrating on it and being annoyed), I rubbished that at first but it helped quite a bit in the end.

That was before Covid after that it's got much louder, it comes back whenever I think about it, so seeing the article brought it back, hopefully I can make it go again.
You do, if you have to work with an existing code base in which every feature in existence was used.

Even if you start a new greenfield project and get to impose your own coding convention that includes what C++ features should be used, it won't stay that way when people come on board who have different ideas.
Maybe he’s recycling some handy words from a movie or novel.
I am a coder then I care about the computer language used to the code my everyday editor.

vim is plain and simple C, hence does not require a grotesquely and aburdely massive and complex compiler infrastructure to handle an ultra-complex computer language syntax.

Not sure why they’d want to spin it that way
Nah. The paywalled stuff is just as full of lies, biases and bullshit as they free stuff. It's just more polished and better marketed as a sophisticated alternative.

Back in 2020 the narrative of trusting our betters to make decisions for us due to the dangers of uncoordinated thinking and "misinformation" was even more pervasive than now. But they really expect me to believe that, say, the paywalled NY Times is a better purveyor of truth than many interesting free sources of info because it charges you? Or because coincidentally, it happens not to be right-leaning like some of the apparently dangerous free news sources this article mentions? Really? The same paper that sold the Iraq fiasco hook, line and sinker to the public mendaciously enough to make Goebbels proud is now going to be considered superior to the free stuff?

I'd actually rather trust the diversity of weirdness that comes with all sorts of free content being freely available from a range of opinions across the spectrum.. Among the frequent bullshit you can find gems of contray thinking and refreshing takes that put you outside of some idiotic bubble or another of "correct opinion", and their very freedom to express themselves as they see fit is exactly what produces such good qualities.

Oh yeah spatial audio (at least what iOS calls "spatial audio") is horrible. I disable it everywhere I can, but it has to be disabled in control center per app. Some apps stop playing audio when you open control center, making spatial audio seemingly impossible to disable there. There's not a single instance where I prefer having the audio sound like it's coming from the device.

However, like HDR, it can be difficult to avoid. My laptop screen supports HDR because the laptop is otherwise exactly what I want and it doesn't come in a non-HDR variant. My earbuds support spatial audio because I elected to get AirPods Pro for their other qualities and they don't come in a non-HDR variant.

"Vote with your wallet" isn't really an option with things like this.
Yes. If some people get more, other people will ask for more and the company can't ^H^H^H^H won't afford that, so better to lose a few individuals than pay everyone more. So, if you're a project manager, you sometimes need to turn a blind eye to make things work for you.
let me have another run at it:

> If you use Postgres you're "locked" into Postgres: a technology with a laundry list of providers.

Supabase is just a Postgres platform, and you can use it like that so that you can migrate away to any one of those laundry list. We _also_ provide some tools which are nicely integrated but importantly: they are optional

> doesn't Supabase rely on spinning up additional services to leave,

No, not if you don't use those other services. If you _do_ decide to use another service, then yes, you need to spin it up to leave (or migrate to something else). Hence my comment: this is no different than running, say, Rails on a managed service.
Thanks. I'm happy to hear that it's been working well for you. I agree that we shouldn't be a given a pass. We're building $1000+ products that are pretty essential tools in peoples' lives. It's not enough for us to have the right philosophy, but to actually build products that live up to that philosophy.
it's not that rating is what's missing, github stars are kind of a proxy for that

what's missing are curated lists of projects you need to use for a specific reason:
you want to setup a web site? which framework do you use, db, api style, formatter, linter, etc
what about SIMD libraries? Java unit testing?

Unless of course one steals company secrets or something, why do they feel the need for exclusivity in the first place?

It's so that they are dependent on them and they have the leverage.

It's also because no matter what he delivers and how happy they are with it, they always think they could have pushed him to deliver more, if they squeezed more of his hours.

In the past, probably not. With today's Republicans? Absolutely. You don't get to knowingly vote for a fascist and his corrupt sycophants and face no repercussions. If your politics are "I don't give a fuck about democracy unless I win," our world views are entirely incompatible and I don't want to give you an iota of support.
1: yes
2: build for yourself first. Make it feel great for yourself, and then your friends, or anyone you can keep bothering without worrying whether you are bothering them. These could be passionate users, or friends and family.

What kind of planning do you need though, like, "how to build it", or "what would users want"?

> Notably, Apple confirmed to us that emulators on the App Store are permitted to load ROMs downloaded from the web, so long as the app is emulating retro console games only.

Speculation (and conclusions!) all over the internet, including this site, post-emulation announcement was that Apple wouldn't allow retro game emulators, so this confirmation is pretty exciting[0].

[0] For some reason, any time someone says something like this, someone has to jump in and point out Android has allowed emulators forever. To anyone tempted to do that: so what? We aren't talking about Android.

Manufacturing Bliss–Asterisk
Lately it’s been The Lobster.

I’ve always been one to recognize a lot of absurdities in life, but this movie got me asking: “What if the absurd false dichotomies are the feature that influential people use over their supporters to test their power and loyalty?”

I’ve also been asking myself, what other absurdities do I still not see and how can I systematically detect those absurdities?
I don't think it's wrong to believe that. It's hopeful and perhaps overly idealistic, but the sentiment of "good software" still exists. People still develop it, albeit slowly and to a smaller audience.

Enabling installation routes that aren't solely money-extraction machines will go a long ways towards changing things. It won't inherently stop people from abusing social media or screen time, but it might stop people from watching ads or paying money to use a PDF reader. That's a win in my book.
Upgrading my Chumby 8 kernel part 8: audio
I'm not doctor or scientist, but I think of it like the nerves in the ear are signaling off constantly. The brain is operating normally by listening to them, but what you really want is for it to adapt and start to ignore the bad signals. The brain can phase them out, but it can never stop receiving the signal, so you still hear it if you consciously focus on it. It sounds like this person is already there but still looking for a real cure, something to stop the signals.
Shouldn't you as the manager be directing traffic here. Product shouldn't be going directly to engineers to try and campaign / dump workload on people?
So this is like a helicopter propeller system, but the individual blades point upwards.
While these principles are interesting, there's no need to add “Musk” as if you were quoting the scriptures. Plus they aren't particularly original as half of them are basically the tenets of “Toyotism”, which is the mainstream way of running car manufacturing since the eighties.
Case in point, emulators have been available on the Android store pretty much forever and as long as they keep it clean by not distributing copyrighted ROMs or BIOS files directly in the app it's never really been an issue. Nintendo probably doesn't like it but they have no cause to have them taken down.
I’m sorry, what has this guy done? It really doesn’t sound like he’s actually done much? I’ve also read about fabrication and that means jack all - it doesn’t sound like this guy is doing his own fabrication, if anything it sounds like pretty run of the mill 2nd/3rd year logic circuit design?

From other comments though I’m not sure it’s even that?

I can’t tell because twitter makes it hard to read threads now and I can’t tell if details are missing from the article, or literally there nothing to actually report on?

Also the comments on GPUs is really confusing? It sounds like someone has bought into the mythology of GPUs being somehow magic, rather than simply many parallel micro-micro processors.

I agree that we shouldn't dehumanize them, and we should keep that in mind and not necessarily condemn the people Kitboga is actually talking to. It's easy to sit and judge someone comfortably from your cushy office job, and a lot of people aren't as lucky. Desperation is a horrible thing, and it becomes disturbingly easy to turn off your empathy when you feel things are otherwise hopeless.

That said, I think it's still ok for Kitboga to do it, simply because if they're talking to him, they're not screwing someone's grandparents out of their life savings. Whether or not he's talking to the person in charge or a victim of something absolutely horrible, they're still distracted from scamming someone else who might be more vulnerable.

Also, the people actually running the scam operations can go fuck themselves.
