I would say the main alternative is ash not vulkano, from my experience in experimenting with graphics on rust, I haven't seen much support or like for vulkano as it has many of the same performance issues as wgpu and doesn't simplify too much after the trade off of the lack of resources, it also appears embark was using ash atleast for kajiya.

I have encounter a lot of your posts and that's what pushed me towards just tackling vulkan instead of using wgpu. I also encountered many of the same issues around the ecosystem. I think the main issue is there is just not enough dev time going into it or money. Even valoren, which I already knew of before learning rust from posts in linux/oss communities only has received 8k of funding, while offering the closest to an AA experience.

But I don't think its that reasonable to expect the ecosystem to just have a batteries included performant general rendering solution, idk if any language has that? I know there is bgfx, which might be the closest thing but I assume also has its own issues. So I don't really think its the graphics part holding things back, as ash is a great wrapper around vulkan and maps 1-1 with a little bit of improvements (builders for structs, not needing to set stype for each struct, easy p chaining).

The main issue I encounter is all around the lack of dev-time and the tendency for single developers and for small single purpose crates. Most of my friction is around lack of documentation, constant refactoring making that lack even worse, and this causing disjoint dependency trees. So many times have I encountered one create using version x.x of one crate that depends on x.y version of another then the next being on z.x of another dependency and then another still needing z.y. This normally wouldn't be that big of an issue, except the tendency to constantly introduce refactoring and breaking changes meaning I end up having to fork and fix these inter-dependencies myself and cant just patch them.

But this all just circle back to there just isn't much dev time going into them. It also seems the "safety" concerns and rust just not allowing some things causes devs of many crates chasing their tails with refactors trying to work around these constraints. But it does get quite tiresome having to deal with all of these issues. If I was using c++ I could just use sdl/glfw, imgui, vma and vulkan and they would all be up to date with each other. In rust I need winit, imgui bindings, imgui-winit, imgui-vulkan, raw-window-handle, ash and vma bindings. And most of these are all using different versions of each other and half of them have breaking changes version to version.

they're pretty consistent. unlike most tech reviews, there's things which have to be present to be considered repairable. eg: is everything glued down? are screws accessible? are there a bunch of different screws with obscure heads? is there a publicly available repair manual? etc.

> the less incentive owners have to continue paying

People keep saying this, but the only time they can come up with examples are when the owner wants out of the property. In the case of a home loan, being underwater is meaningless if you're not going anywhere. Most people will continue to pay because they need a place to live. I have yet to hear of someone who was underwater on their primary home loan and decided to stop paying it and default just because. For an investment property I could see that happening. For the house that you plan to live in for the next 20 years? No.
"only" is a really strong statement. Off the top of my head, here's a few situations where Apple makes things worse for the end-consumer:

- Any case where Apple builds a competing product and charges a cut to the competitor that makes them structurally unable to compete is blatantly anti-competitive, i.e. Spotify vs Apple Music
- Any case where the margins of the business do not support Apple's 30%, i.e. Kindle (let me buy my damn books in the app)
- Any case where Apple has prohibited something for seemingly no reason, i.e. game emulators till about a month ago under regulatory pressure
- Any case where Apple's unilateral control of pricing meant that certain business models couldn't be tried, i.e. subscriptions for a long part of the App Store's history, upgrade pricing today etc
- Any case where Apple has prohibited anyone from competing with it. iOS Safari is bad and Apple has insulated it from competition by prohibited third-party browser engines. Note this hurts both users who'd rather use Chrome or Firefox and users who use Safari who don't benefit from Apple having to compete.

I don't disagree that there are benefits to Apple's approach. I just think that they should be heavily scrutinized because of iOS's import.

Car sales is very different from software sales. Very little margin for what's usually a one-time or few-times purchase, so you've gotta rely on volume. Pressure sales thrive on low margin.

Software sales are super high margin, and big money software always requires implementation work. Long-lasting relationships are ultra important. The sales process is much slower and longer, but you get stickier customers at the end of it that keep coming back. Sales people also don't need as many deals to meet their quota...at least at first.

Granted, there are still some, umm, characters, that sell software, but many of them are great people who work hard for their keep.

My only gripe with the industry is sports. I just can't with all that. That said, sales folks totally expect SEs to know nothing about the sportsball; another reason why this gig is awesome!

It's hard to tell what your actual point is, but "the US" is not one singular entity with one singular purpose that never changes. Perhaps the thing you say was true for some people in the administration at some point, but not always true for all people.
I agree; the website should not need to be responsible for most of this stuff (and even when it is, the way it works is too messy). (In some cases the document author would still need to specify, e.g. the IDs of headings so that they can be referred to in URLs, but the browser should handle the rest; the author should not also need to add links in the headers.) The table of contents might even be suitable as a built-in feature. Having a progress indicator for only the article and not comments would be possible by using the standard <ARTICLE> command; a browser might choose to (subject to user settings) display a progress bar or scroll bar for the article only. The user can disable the features that they do not want (and/or change the features that they want differently). (Some people will use other file formats and protocols to try to improve this; and, if you like to do, you can even make available multiple protocols and file formats)
Perhaps some kind of precision artillery/guided rocket would work as well. If you just need to get floatation device to swimmer, going through the air might work well (if the wind isn't strong, of course).
Given this, your original response was pretty weird.
> Implicit library loading isn’t even the real problem, it’s the global namespace.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? Ruby gives you pretty much the same namespacing powers that most mainstream languages do.

If your argument is that noone should EVER be able to hoist something into the global namespace, then I'm going to have to pretty strenuously disagree with you. Power tools are good to have for when you need them... but it's very important to have the restraint to only use them when you need them and leave them on the shelf when you don't.
Notarization is not a reasonable implemetation of a malware kill switch. All you'd need for that is an Apple-published list of known-bad app ids that the OS could check itself against periodically. No, notarization is a control mechanism to impede the creation and distribution of any non-Apple-approved apps.

My recollection is that the Obama administration was split on this, with DoJ officials enthusiastic but Obama purportedly being concerned about the political implications for journalism.

> IIRC the way it's tested is they engage the brake and then put the car in drive. If it moves under . . . I think it was something like 3k rpm, the car fails the safety check.

This test won't work at all for a FWD car. The parking brake locks the rear wheels but the front tires are free to rotate under engine power and since on a FWD car most of the weight is on the front axle, the car will happily slide the ligthly loaded locked rear wheels along for the ride.
Bear in mind that Tool & Die makers are pretty much the top caliber of machinists and there are relatively few of them, so wages will naturally be higher. In many parts of the country, machinists report that they struggle to find jobs paying more than about $20/hour.

I read the first edition of Grimm's fairy tales in translation not too long ago after having wanted to for awhile, since the translation was released.

The thing I was most surprised by was how bizarre some of the stories were. Not how disturbing or dark they were, but how bizarre and dreamlike they were. Things coming out of nowhere in ways that seemed like nonsequiturs, I still can't tell if there's something about past culture that is lost on me, lost to time, or if the original storytelling was in fact poor, or what.

I completely agree with the general sentiment of the linked article, and I think some of the commenters are exactly right to point out that these tales have been edited and reedited in various forms over time for all sorts of reasons, sometimes to make them less dark than they originally were.

But some of the revisions I knew from animated films and mid to late twentieth century children's books weren't just happier, they made more sense, and were easier to follow for whatever reason.

I loved reading the first edition and agree that it's great to go back to them. I also don't mean to suggest the originals were bad — I think some of the twists and plotlines were better in the originals. But I get the sense that some edits might have been made not to "lighten" the tales, but rather to just make them simpler. In some cases lightening might have been a secondary result of simplifying, and in other cases the latter type of edit encouraged the former.

There are thousands of cities and towns all over the world, where short term rentals – accelerated by AirBnB – has made it impossible for young workers to afford to live where they were born. Real estate prices and rent prices are much more important in the everyday life for all of us, than all information technology combined. Unless you are a multimillionaire in tech stocks. But there aren't so many of them around.

A normal worker today in the US or Europe could if they want afford to buy all top Apple devices or equivalent PC devices, as well as every paid app on the App store. That same normal worker in the US or Europe today can never afford to buy a home, unless he/she goes into lifelong debt, or gets help from family that owns real estate.

Okay but to be fair that wasn't the original model. Before the minimum wage law uber drivers could take rides any time they wanted. It was only due to the minimum wage law, which essentially forced uber to pay for time even if there wasn't any riders, that caused uber to restrict when drivers could take rides. Using this to claim that uber wants to "eat their cake and have it, too" therefore makes little sense.
It's interesting right! And no small part of why I think what was predicted by the original comment will not come to be.
Goldfish has been doing this a lot in the Seattle area, but we only get 30 minutes and it is often 4 kids. Our YMCAs offer classes as well, but it is still 30 minutes with a few more kids, so not much different.

The pandemic really pulled a number on delaying swim lessons, so there is a huge backlog along with a lot of kids who aren't catching up yet. My 7 year old is afraid to do water slides still, and he has been in class for about 9 months now. I know we got to that level more quickly when I was a kid.
I didn’t leave, I’m still in it.

But I dropped a day of work and took a salary sacrifice.

Really bad burnout made me hate work, stopped me from enjoying coding, made me lose my confidence in tech, and made me feel like a slave to working without an external life.

Dropping just 1 day has been the largest mental health benefit I have ever had, and I don’t think I will ever work a second over 32 hours a week. Nor will I ever work 5 days a week.

But I made major life changes at the same time.

I deleted my last remaining bastion of social media - Reddit, due to extreme political new, and toxicity. I switched to hackernews as my only form on “social” media.

I also blocked global and local news sites on all my devices. That has been incredibly relieving.

I moved out of my expensive house.

I got back into gaming, realising that giving it up removed a powerful way for me to relieve stress.

Now I’m passionately working on side projects again on weekends, and the extra day is awesome. And I’m generally happy. My phone screen time has dropped from an average 5-6hours on average over the last year, to under 2 hours a day average the past month.

Also one other thing about the elephant in the room - “AI”, I’ve changed my views on it quite some. It truly is overhyped, I’ve stopped using GitHub CoPilot completely, and mostly just use LLMs as a shallow surface search engine. Try not to worry about your job, I don’t think it’s going to take it anytime soon, and it’s also not going to make anyone a 10X Engineer.

Maybe clever people will become 1.5X developers, and people the rely on LLMs too much will become 0.5X developers, so it balances out
Rheinmetall's stock value looks like it's down 6% in the last month, I doubt this news will do much to it. Her trade was probably related to Rheinmetall being one of the world's biggest weapons manufacturers and well positioned when Germany and other European countries are putting a lot of money into their military spending.

Rheinmetall's stock's development during the last five years closely matches that of Saab, another big European weapons manufacturer. You don't have to be a political insider to guess that the stock will increase in value.

I realized too late that apparently the only way to get rid of the OneDrive directory structure is to manage the settings from within OneDrive itself! I'd already uninstalled it and removed, by hand, most of its folders.

Now if I try to reinstall OneDrive, it doesn't open when I try to launch it! I think it just gets trashed by all the changes I've made.

I guess I have to live with the OneDrive\Pictures and OneDrive\Documents folder forever, because they keep coming back when I delete them.

> Allowing government bureaucrats to oversee the app store review process seems like quite possibly the only single thing that could make it even slower,

How could it possibly make the review process slower? Such a tribunal would have zero role to play in reviewing the app. It only steps in if the developer wishes to appeal a review rejection. At which point it is reviewing, not the app itself, but rather the reasonableness of the review process which lead to the rejection of that particular app.

Also, I wouldn’t suggest government bureaucrats as appointees. My uncle, who is a lawyer, used to sit on one of these government tribunals in Australia (not reviewing app store rejections, reviewing rejections of applications for refugee status). He was not a bureaucrat and nor were any of the other appointees. The government advertised for lawyers in private practice to apply for appointment to the tribunal, and he applied, and he was appointed. His background was in criminal defence not government bureaucracy. And it was a part-time role, so he was still carrying on his private criminal defence practice while he sat on it. It is considered a quasi-judicial role (not technically a judge and not having the same prestige or qualifications or privileges as a judge, but performing some of the same functions)
