Thanks for this more foundational information. It's a bit simplified since most displays are flexible now and multi-color, but at least it doesn't ignore the entire OLED material, TFTs, and display driver IC as if the digital communication to the controller was the most important or even remotely common solution.
> Does Oracle have much growth of their core RDBMS database product

Not really, and Oracle has clearly known that too for a decade.

They tried a pivot into cloud (they did a similar thing with Oracle Linux decades ago), and did a similar pivot into the Healthcare IT space over the past decade.

It's a competitive space.

Epic, Microsoft, AWS, and other companies can also meet those RFCs.
Wow, seriously impressive. And the fact that this is the work of basically a high-schooler.

I fear for the kind of competition my kids will have just to make it to college.
Can I get a reality check on the state of headsets? It seems that the only people interested in these things are Apple/Meta hype boys (if the latter even exists), and people that are interested in VR gaming. I have only ever considered a headset because of games, only to conclude that it would be a severe waste of money, and that approximates the opinion of most people I know (echo chamber acknowledged).

I'll repeat the usual sentiments of Glass being a failure, the Vive is nearly ten years old, the Quest is a VR Chat/Beat Saber machine, and the Apple Vision is a Black Mirror style immersive nightmare machine.

I want my ideas to be challenged on this, but I really believe that Horizon OS will be a "Did you know that Meta released a VR operating system?" fun fact in 10 years, probably when Apple releases a $5000 Vision Pro 4 Ultimate.

Who on Earth is using these things? I realize where I am posting, but who outside the tech world is getting excited about and actually buying/using VR Headsets?

Obviously I've been wrong before about tech trends but this one seems to be so blatantly companies sniffing their own farts in regards to "we are the future" sentiments.
> This 1.6nm process will put them around 230 MTr/mm2

I think we understand the causal mechanism pretty well. it is just laypeople struggle with binary thinking vs probability.

The reason why only 20% of smokers get cancer is similar to why a person doesn't get cancer after 1 cigarette.

This is only counterintuitive if your default thinking is that smoking=cancer. In reality, there are a lot of variable chemical and biological processes involved, but ultimately it ultimately boils down to a cumulative risk, not guarantee.
Very empirical, but earlier this year I was talking to a Thai street food cook who mentioned he was scared of getting cancer from the cooking fumes, because he knew many people who were also cooks and got ill.
East Asian wars tend to be drastically more deadly than the wars of any other group. The Three Kingdoms War wiped China's population to 30% of what it once was, and had half the deaths of WWII in a world with two hundred million people instead of billions.

While certainly a little polarising the adage of optimise later really comes into play here. We do a lightweight industry specific system that had all the generic stuff (eg time/tasks etc) with some special sauce that makes us stand out. One of our clients said "Mate the rate you guys are adding features - the ERP company we went with they haven't done 1/10th of what you've done in the last year. Can you implement full multi-level bills of materials? "

I said "no, can't do that - that's huge".

A weekend later of experimentation (thanks to one very kick-butt gem on that has an amazing way of managing trees) "actually, we may just be able to - it's going to be a long road though - setting expectations..."

A period of time later we've now implemented a full BOM planning/tracking system, tested well upto and beyond the numbers of items these types of companies expect.

To the point they cancelled their renewal with a big/established ERP vendor and went with us instead.

There's definitely some instances where speed to market trumps everything else. We can go optimise queries later on.

What's been fascinating is I left my day job 2 years ago (to the month). We've gone from unheard of to becoming the market leader in our space. There is absolutely no way that could have been done with any other stack (without spending 5x the money - and I argue that co-ordinating a bigger developer team it almost wouldn't matter what money you throw at it, it gets exponentially harder getting everyone on the same page for delivery).

At my old workplace I couldn't convince the .NET team for love nor money to look outside the box.

-Full support for Wahoo device ecosystem
-Apple TV app (this is a deal breaker for me)

My current setup - right now I use zwift on apple TV which connects to a wahoo cadence sensor, rpm sensor, HRM, kickr rollr smart trainer, kickr smart fan. Also have a SRAM power meter connected.

You probably already know this, but Apple TV has some limitations on simultaneous bluetooth connections so you have to use workarounds (for example zwift has a separate smartphone app that bridges the ATV and the devices).

Good luck, and let me know if you'd like any help with product or marketing.

Given that large states like California and New York passed independent net neutrality laws and there were continuing legal battles in almost half of all US states I don't think you can draw many conclusions.

> None of these blogposts (including this one) have any realistic solution to the problem of making OSS software and being able to live from it...

Should OSS solve that "problem"? Free software predates billion-dollar OSS / open-core companies, it also doesn't require the maintainer directly earn a living from it. Perhaps the era of OSS megacorps and the concomitant VC/startup dreams is setting, as these large, formerly OSS companies are rejecting OSS licenses in favor of bigger profits. To that, I say good riddance, not every useful git repository has to be incorporated.

> ...and prevent others from exploiting you in the process.

The whole point of free and open source software is anyone can use it and improve it - including Amazon and the person you hate. An OSS license is not a growth-hack for adoption: if you want to discourage Amazon from using your product, use AGPL. If you're worried others won't use your AGPL software, then you're growth-hacking.

FL/OSS will be fine between evening/weekend hackers (xz), small-to-medium companies/consultancies (Rails), and our neo-feudal tech overlords (React).
The sad thing is Go doesn’t need help - it won. It reached critical point where no matter how shitty it is in practice, it will be worked around and made work because engineers have no other choice - that’s what companies impose on them.

I don't recall finding hugin when I did my (short) research on image stitching tool. Thanks to you, I've read the scanned image stitching documentation and I suppose it could work.

However, the process seems quite complicated and slow, asking you to draw control points and all that.

Microscope pictures have the particularity that there are nearly no deformation to the image but you have a lot of them, so you want the process to be as automatic as possible.
That was the goal of my tool, make the simplest gui anf process possible for the task at hand.
honestly any/all of those. I'd prefer something that stimulates private competition, but I'm not opposed to public options. I also don't begrudge an ISP profiting on an important service, provided they do a good job at it.

breaking up Comcast doesn't seem directly helpful though. the issue is often with sweetheart deals at the local level. in a city I used to live in, comcast was given exclusive access to existing city-owned cable in exchange for connecting the remaining (largely underprivileged) homes. this kind of short term win seems irresistible to local politicians, but imo it's pretty bad for the long term.
Why Your Vet Bill Is So High
Republicans either want the suffering directly, or - what is most often the case - they want the system that guarantees that suffering will happen, and will refuse any alternative whatsoever out-of-hand.

My parents don't want trans people to suffer: they want trans people to find happiness through the impossible avenue of just not being trans anymore. My parents don't want illegal immigrants to be incarcerated or murdered by border authorities: they want illegal immigrants to find liberty through the impossible process that is just becoming a legal immigrant, or living peacefully in whichever failed country they were born. My parents don't want people with substance abuse disorders to live and die on the streets: they want people with substance abuse disorders to overcome them through the impossible avenue of simply curing their own addiction without any outside support, safety, or encouragement whatsoever.

I cannot convince them that any of this is the case. On the other hand, people like Tucker Carlson, Rush Limbaugh, and Glen Beck can convince them of just about anything. Why? Because right-wing talking heads have a foot in the door: belief. They abuse every belief that a conservative holds dear, and turn it into engagement. Critical thought has no air to breathe in a world made of belief.

It doesn't matter what people want. It matters what people do.

Exactly. At the startup I work for, we built from the old methods of bare metal, and integrate cloud services as needed. At any time though, if we are not satisfied with sed service, we're able to jump ship without headache pretty easily. As simple as spinning up a new container cluster elsewhere, migrating data, and ramping down the old. The founders were very clear on never being entrenched into a singular provider.

I'd argue that they planned:

2. Indiscriminate obstruction. [Months of crucial Ukraine aid. Blocked voting rights bill. Immigration reform. Firearm safety. Tax relief.]

It can be argued that the Vietnam war was a colonial war. Even though the original colonial power, France, had (mostly) withdrawn from the conflict after the First Indochina war concluded in 1954. Vietnam was still partitioned with the South having a puppet government from the western colonial powers. By the same logic it can be argued that the Troubles are an extension of the Irish war for independence and as such colonial war. Although I would admit both those examples are quite stretched.

Less stretched though is the struggle to end South Africa’s apartheid and the Israel Palestine conflict. Both Apartheid South Africa, and modern day Israel are fighting to legitimize a settler colonial state (preferably ethno-state of European descendants) which unevenly allocates land and rights to the descendants of the European colonizers (see also Northern Ireland before the good Friday agreement).

And finally we have Western Sahara, which is a full on colony just like Angola, and has an ongoing colonial war for liberation (just like Algeria). The only difference is that the colonial power is Morocco, which is not a European power.
For back-end Rust is unbeatable if you are doing the kind of things where you need the performance for as little footprint as possible because getting twice as much server would be unaffordable.

But that also means that it is not necessary for pretty much every company out there except the biggest ones.

Rust is cool for interops though: you talk about the OS, but it's not just that, it's also integrating with other languages in a way managed languages can't do: you can use Rust in a Python app like you'd use C, and you can speed up critical section of your node App with it as well[1], this is where Rust shine. Not in competing with Go in online popularity contexts.

> Kindly read or listen to any long-form work by Sarah Kendzior.

This is the first I've heard of her. So, just did a Google search on her:
She has written a lot of stories for the "news" on a lot of subjects. Maybe ~10% of the stories are about Trump.

There were some lists of story titles with URLs, but the URLs didn't point to the stories -- apparently were old and now broken.

Her stories on Trump I could find didn't seem like they were on important issues. Then I saw her story on the "Russia" issue. Sorry, I long ago concluded that Trump did nothing wrong and, instead, the whole Russia Gate issue was a cooked up, made up, pile of nonsense trying to get Trump.

I use vi-mode and when i need to make more elaborate edits, I have this binding in zsh to edit the current line in $EDITOR:

autoload -Uz edit-command-line
zle -N edit-command-line
bindkey -M vicmd v edit-command-line

For "normal" Emacs keybinds this is the standard:

bindkey '^x^e' edit-command-line

As others have mentioned this goes well with fzf and its shell history plugin.

But, in truth, the shell interface could use a major overhaul to make it more like a notebook, there are early attempts at this (e.g. Warp), but it's still quite timid IMO.

I'll also say this is one of the perks of being a vi user, it's the CLI usage where it really shines, I can make surgical edits really quickly, thanks to all the jump and change keybinds that are so central to vi usage.

> VR is held back more by software than hardware.

VR isn't being "held back" at all. There's simply absolutely no demand for it. It solves no problem for which there is a mass market. It is the ultimate solution looking for a problem.

> ... Meta as a company, as well as the individual engineers, want the shine of making industry leading high-end gear.

Do they? I suspect this claim is colored by his own experiences at Oculus/Meta but it's not necessarily true. I suspect Meta would be giddy if they could sell 100x as many units of a cheaper unit because it means they would've found a product-market fit of some kind.

The worst part of VR games is the ongoing obsession of developers with trying to replicate FPS games in the worst possible vomit-inducing way, while completely ignoring all the interesting potential in things that barely anyone has even touched yet, like simulation games with virtual dioramas, small-scale games with shared social lobbies, games that play with size/perspective differences, and so on.

Despite being someone who's had several "do-overs", or "start-overs" in my life, I agree with the author's proposition. I hope I'm allowed to like both Proust and Amis, though!

To take the point a little bit further, the number (and value) of the chances (even first ones) anyone gets directly correlate with the social class into which they are born. (There are exceptions, at both ends of the distribution, but it's still generally true.) Choose your parents wisely!
On the contrary: most liberals (or anyone else who doesn't identify as a [neo]conservative) are painfully aware that the democratic party is failing to represent them. We just know that that failure is less damaging than what the Republican party is up to.

The Republican party is the party of unification and engagement. The Democratic party is the tent for everyone else. The presence of the former demands the existence of the latter.

I'm not sure that's the order itself or just a very detailed "fact sheet" about the orde. It seems like it references the content of the order in great detail, allowing someone to figure it out, but I don't see the raw text of the rule there unless I just don't understand what FCC rules look like. I read a lot of FTC rules and court documents, but this the first time I'm looking for the full text of something the FCC voted on or was something close to it (like an earlier version of the exact document they voted on).

To be clear, I was referring to my parent comment about crypto discussion in general and was not making a judgement about this particular project.

But, yeah I relate to the comment in your last paragraph. There was a lot of of early talk about democratization, etc. but at the end of the day it seemed to be more about replacing the old centralized incumbents with new ones. Or, in some cases, just giving the old incumbents a new way to extend their incumbencies. There was really nothing to insulate the space from the latter. This all became really apparent during the "DeFi" craze.

I do think a lot of earnest folks got caught up in the hype and were sincerely invested in the idea of democratization. The scammers and grifters just seemed to overwhelm the idealism. The Web3 hype was probably the apotheosis, before it popped. What's interesting is how much VCs seemed to rush into that space, yet there was barely a whisper when it all came crashing down.

Kind of makes you wonder what it was really all about.
