AFAIK, Rolfe's persona started with him including two added videos at the end of some horror DVD he made in Art School. One for Castlevania 2 and another.

However, I'd argue that Mike Matei provided all the serious production value of the show. Which is ironic, because fans of the show grew to hate him both for his lower production value experimental vids starring him on the channel and eventually for controversial cartoons made when he was like 18. So while they were clamoring for Rolfe to ditch Matei, the irony was that the show starred by Rolfe was like 98% reliant on Matei's professional talent. Just my take.

Also, I don't think he was ever intended to represent a modern gamer. If you were our age, you'd understand that Rolfe's gimmick was to dredge up the era whereby garbage games were being produced with Nintendo Power magazine giving them high reviews, leaving us horribly disappointed every Christmas and Birthday when we got the games we asked for. Has less to do with gaming than just an era in which we were ripped off constantly. Without social media, we would blame ourselves and his gimmick is relatable and cathartic in a sense.
Can AI boom drive Nvidia to a $4T valuation despite investor doubt?
I know that I'm an outlier freak in this, but I hate being forced to solve the same problems repeatedly.

When I've found a fridge that solves the problem of keeping my food safe, and does it reasonably well (quietly, efficiently, etc), I never want to solve that problem again. I don't care about any incremental improvements whatsoever. I could die happy without ever buying another appliance of any kind.

This is true for most things that I own. My car, my phone, my computer, my TV, etc.

When it comes to hobbies, sure, I can indulge a little in the hedonic treadmill thing. For the rest of it, don't bother me.

I once rented an apartment with a modern 2 in 1 washer dryer and it was easily the worst appliance I ever used. Bar none. The whole ordeal would take like 4 or 5 hours because using very little water means you need a 90 minute wash, and the dryer is of course too anemic to be much better than just setting the clothes out to dry on every available piece of furniture you own.

I'll take a little bit of inefficiency on my end as a consumer. I am the little man after all my footprint is small enough compared to what globalized industry is wreaking on the planet. I shouldn't be made to feel bad to have a washer dryer that is actually a time savings compared to a washboard and clothes line.

FWIW in CA your rate also depends on your provider. I am paying like 16 cents a kilowatt hour.
ouch, that is pretty rough. i mean i am happy that you found someone to give you the right answer. but i'd expect that the majority don't dare to do that in an interview session. i hope you are not rejecting people just because they actually try to answer that question.
Yup, this is what happens. All the time.

Reports from large bodies of users is they are very happy with https://OnlyOffice.com which some clients are on to avoid GSuite to avoid sharing their business data with a faceless and highly ideologically partisan third party (Google).

I'm sure you know this, but even very simple/short programs can have complex behaviours that put them out of reach of computer scientists with present-day knowledge. For example, short programs can encode things like the Goldbach conjecture, the Collatz conjecture, or the Riemann Hypothesis. For example, does this program (written in Python, but translate to your computational system) halt?

def isprime(n): return n > 1 and all(n % d for d in range(2, n))
def goldbach(n): return any(isprime(p) and isprime(n - p) for p in range(2, n))
n = 4
while goldbach(n): n += 2

(See also the recent https://www.quantamagazine.org/amateur-mathematicians-find-f... which describes how hard it was to prove things even about puny 5-state Turing machines, and that already with just 6 states there is one "antihydra" that encodes Collatz-like behaviour and will probably be hard to prove anything about.)
The galling part of this is that the demand for AI is artificial. Consumers are not demanding AI.
No matter the industry, it sucks to have someone managing by dashboard. In classic post modernism, the signifier replaces the signified. If anything, it’s a great signal to the employee that it’s time to start looking elsewhere.

In a relative sense, I would argue that Apple has pilfered an order of magnitude higher value from the community than they have given back. The only example of Apple's net-positive contributions seem to be CUPS and LLVM, both of which were cross-platform before Apple took control. Compared with how much networking and userland code they've taken it feels like a trillion-dollar pittance. Even Microsoft chips in more.

If we are sharing favorite RAND books, this introduction to game theory from 1954 is lovely (I read it twice): https://www.rand.org/pubs/commercial_books/CB113-1.html I admit I skipped over much of the maths, since a lot of it is about clever tricks to manually do operations on matrices (might be fun to read about, but probably not very useful these days?).

And also this book from 1947 with ONE MILLION random digits: https://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1418.html The foreword from 2001 goes into a lot of detail how and why the numbers were made (which is, I guess, more interesting than to download the book itself?).
The root issue is the superior not having a clue. Sonar in this case, is sadly enabling this type of superior to be even more harmful, not to the developers only, but to the actual business of the company.

And Sonar is far from being alone in this. JIRA is the most glaring example I can think of. Growing companies implement cargo-culted tools without understanding the needs and requirements, and let themselves drift into templates or "best practices" that are not relevant or beneficial to their own operations as-is, resulting in a sum of frustrations, whose impact on the work and the teams they acknowledge only way too late.

The care you need to inject not only in your tools, but how they are apprehended by both your customers and their primary users (which may have very different, if not opposed, perspectives on how/why to use it), from pricing, to documentation, to use-cases...

This is especially very complex when your tool answers to a regulation requirement, because it's very often received as a constraining/oppressing "solution", rather than an enabling one: it may be confortable to you as a seller, and confortable to your customer, but it may also be a counter-sale point to your (customer's) users that will impact future consideration when they become purchasing agents themselves.
Kyber768, which is what I see most people using for hybrid PQC deployments right now, has 1kB keys and is actually faster than elliptic curve cryptography.
Bingo. For all its flaws, Twitter threads can be a nice way of delivering a point. I think the character limit implicitly encourages a kind of brevity which you wouldn't get anywhere else.

In CEE (which is where most ICT FDI is going) it's your governments that force employers to spend $500k-$5 million on an office with at least 10-50 people in order to get tax benefits ($8,000-13,000 per employee).

Otherwise, we'd just be remote first and spend that amount of money on hiring.

But then again, we might get a better offer hiring Israelis or Indians (5-10 year tax holidays depending on the region)

It's local government that makes these incentives at the end of the day.

Anyhow, we only hire Israeli, Indian, Czech, Romanian, Pole, etc engineers because of the right mix of talent and salary arbitrage compared to American talent.
I used Azureus, before it was renamed Vuze, in early 2003. All my friends had Azureus too, maybe because Macintoshes were what most of our parents (and thus we) had at the time. Azureus was what we all knew.

I would assume an official act is something outlined in their description of their powers like the president appointing someone, and not just every word and action they do while holding the job as president. I wouldn't think him cussing after a shank during golf would be an official act as the POTUS for example, although I'm sure it happened thousands of times during his presidency.
What if BadApple takes BSD and forks it. Then they make their own BSD with extensions that only works on their own shiny fruit hardware.

What have the original BSD users lost? Absolutely nothing. BSD still exists, it’s still maintained, and people can still use it. They can also use fruit BSD if they want.
> You envision total disruption?

I forsee it. Microsoft took three steps down that same path and was lucky to walk away in one piece. If Apple drills-down on this point then they will be destroyed municipally without a second thought. The only country sitting on their hands and refusing to fix things is the United States, Apple's designated tax-collector.
I've never really seen Word as anything other than inferior, having cut my teeth on WordPerfect.

Others have posted their favorite shortcuts (and Reveal Codes truly was magical); my most used ones I haven't seen mentioned were Ctrl+Shift+F1 and Alt+Shift+F1. IIRC, those were spell check and thesaurus, respectively.

Here’s the whole clause:

> Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

So I think the intended process is that congress must impeach and convict first, and then after that they are subject to criminal prosecution.

So I’m guessing that the Federal government or US State can’t unilaterally prosecute the President for an official act if they haven’t been impeached.
Apparently the desert in Kashmir (I think Ladakh specifically) is also excellent for astronomy for similar reasons - a dry desert, cool due to its altitude, and also benefits from thinner air causing lesser distortion.
To put another way, the amount of change in plank’s constant that could potentially happen is highly limited (based on our current methods of measuring and inferring), and only getting more limited as we improve accuracy.
We should also note, that all modern SaaS is running on mostly open source databases, open source languages, open source middleware, and the PaaS and IaaS they are running on are all powered by open source too.

This is not to disregard the meaningful thought and work that goes into the proprietary layers built on top of the open source codebases. But, we should all acknowledge that without those extremely high quality open source codebases, most SaaS wouldn't exist in the first place.
We use sonar at work and this resonates so much with me.
Very good explanation!

Businesses and wealthy people want AI so they can lay people off and hold onto their money, and build stuff faster to capture more marketshare / power.

There wasn't demand for computers either. Or, the industrial revolution.

Thank you for the citation (citations are not limited to documents, but often and especially in a large document of hundreds of pages, direct one to specific passages, as you did did here).

Your citation is exactly the bit that makes the President immune for directing Seal Team 6 to execute a political rival -- directing the military is within the President's "conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority". According to the Supreme Court, such a direction is now "absolute immunity from criminal prosecution".
It’s tricky to notice the difference sometimes. I like programming and read all the tech books out there plus I spent time on pet projects. At work I just do my work as a professional but always keeping a distance and not getting too involved or passionate about it.
Wow. Thanks for sharing that. I was always bothered by that aspect of the movie but your explanation makes a lot more sense.

I remember first getting my cable modem at the house, and I was able to install BSD over the network using a boot floppy.

That was an "amazing" thing to me back in the day. I had the bandwidth to do it, a simple floppy to start the whole process and...there it was! BSD on my machine.

I'm not sure if you can still do that today. Pretty sure the files were FTP hosted somewhere (or even TFTP). I think today it's all ISOs.
I don't like 2024 Google, but they seem to be the only ones trying (at least) to make the least impact with their energy consumption.

Yet, just about any system I've used boots slowly. Your argument is like saying that software bugs are not a real problem because you can simply find and fix them if you look hard enough.

Do you see Ladybird beating the incumbent browsers in any dimension .e.g. performance, usability?, security, etc?

Personally, I much prefer developing for the web than native so if there were APIs exclusive to Ladybird it might create a nice virtuous cycle of developers targeting Ladybird to do new things and users using Ladybird to try those new experiences.
You don't even have to go all the way to China. The English countryside has multiple so called "accents" that are basically unintelligible to a speaker of London English, with plenty of famous examples in popular media (e.g. [1][2]).

Similarly, Germany has plenty of mutually unintelligible dialects. They are all related to each other and any two geographically adjacent dialects are mutually intelligible, but as distance grows it becomes harder to bridge the gap (which is why everyone learns Standard German nowadays). Luxembourgish meanwhile is in every sense a dialect of German with French influences, but due to having an army is considered its own language.

Laborers in Somalia chew khat Soldiers crave their cigarettes. Office workers need their cup of coffee. You can, of course, say it’s just human nature to enjoy an altered state of consciousness. but when it becomes a habit like that, it’s really hard not to see it as a symptom of the slave mentality. The little window of freedom that you have in your otherwise unfree life.

Makes me think of billboards advertising cigarettes to taxi drivers. Trying to associate the break for a smoke with the feeling of freedom.

Or television commercials for coffee. Suggesting you can have a stressful day, but never run out of energy because you “enjoy the aroma“.

When I feel under pressure and have deadlines coming up, I definitely drink a lot more coffee. I do it because I feel like I cannot afford to take a nap. I pull that lever to make myself function. If my kids did that, I wouldn’t consider it healthy.

CapRover is very interesting... I actually just use Linode + Treafik + Portainer and self host all my own stuff using Docker Compose. If I have a new app, I just use GitHub Actions to build and push a container to GitHub Packages (GHCR) and then on my server I create a docker-compose.yaml and I fire it up, the labels link it all up to Traefik.

Obviously deploying is manual right now since I have to SSH in and then pull and `docker compose up -d` but I could probably find something to bridge that gap.

Id be interested in seeing how CapRover can simplify all that for me...
We do but with breakthroughs in science, the future uses are impossible to see now, sometimes they lead to incredible things. When Maxwell confirmed that light is also electromagnetic force with much more than just visible light in it, then all the atom discoveries and after that all the texhnologies like computer and what not, or making laser led to compact disc drives for example. I think precise nuclear measurments might help someday discover/confirm something new in physics
Shocker, another CEO pushing for GenAI with little to no understanding of what the technology actually is.

CEO's and upper management have long pushed for things they don't understand (see Crypto). But at least in the past the worst case scenario was wasted money and a failed initiative.
