You are perhaps missing the point of what I am saying.

But anyway: around the introduction of NT [0] there was clear discussion about how the kernel design was informed by the Mach/kernel boundary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT

"Like VMS,[24] Windows NT's kernel mode code distinguishes between the "kernel", whose primary purpose is to implement processor- and architecture-dependent functions, and the "executive". This was designed as a modified microkernel, as the Windows NT kernel was influenced by the Mach microkernel developed by Richard Rashid at Carnegie Mellon University,[26] but does not meet all of the criteria of a pure microkernel."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT#Hyb...

[...] the strict distinction between Executive and Kernel is the most prominent remnant of the original microkernel design, and historical design documentation consistently refers to the kernel component as "the microkernel".

[0] which I am old enough to remember as an adult and a graduate -- I remember particular criticism from academics in OS design around the time of NT 4.0, which as I (admittedly hazily) recall relaxed some of the distinctive design because 3.5's graphics performance was too poor and the graphics subsystem had to be moved essentially into the kernel.

It has a lot of parallels with Lego and not just the fact that they're both a bunch of boxes that you can attach together. I think the fundamental mechanics of Minecraft lends itself to a type of creativity that other games find it hard to recreate. By being so little, it manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. Minecraft didn't have a proper ending for the first few years of its life.

I wonder whether a YouTube video, a post on Instagram, or similar artifact of our modern world would ever be able to survive 350 years. This …longevity(?) seems to be something that is unique to physical objects like books, printed photographs, or paper cuttings. In 350 years, will we look back at this time and considering it another dark age because so little of the content we are producing will still exist in an accessible form?

Svelte first came around in 2015-2016, and never had a virtual DOM - it was actually the one that introduced compiler-based optimizated DOM updates. This is mentioned in the Solid.js documentation [1].

Svelte itself is a successor to Ractive.js which already existed in 2013 [2] with similar ideas, but before JS transpilers came into the picture.

It was not designed with long term implantation in mind.

It was designed to get funding and keep the company alive. The device itself was very crude, not statenof the art at the time, and much of it was hand dip-molded with basic materials. It was a hand made research device that in all reality would have never been expected to be reliable and long lasting.

I came of age with Windows 95 and friends... All my IRC friends pretty much dialed in directly to the internet from our main PC. When we got cable or DSL, if you had one computer, it got to connect directly.

Windows 98 Second Edition came with internet connection sharing, so you could dial up on one computer and share with the LAN, and I think it worked for cable/dsl with two NICs as well. Many of my circle ended up with a Linux (or BSD) box doing NAT too. There was other software to share on Windows if you didn't have 98SE.
If those companies fail, will it matter? NASDAQ had had a huge impact when it crashed, however.

> It discourages property owners becoming landlords.

But that’s a good thing, no? I’d much rather they sell, instead of hoarding property.

And as for the tax deductions, why should homeowners get even more help from the government? Property tax is capped, homes appreciate like crazy, and there are already tax deduction in place. From where I’m standing, homeowners are sitting pretty with their mortgage being at an all time low. It is awful being a renter and having no idea if my landlord intends to jack up rent and having me wonder if it’s worth it to move.

That being said, I do understand that there’s a fine balance - like if there are no landlords, someone who isn’t ready to find a house won’t have a place to live. Maybe we should put controls in place on who can buy a house - foreigners and corporations shouldn’t, for example. That should counter people doing all-cash offers for above asking.

To be clear, every dev must understand and delight their users (including internal stakeholders).

But we also need a better way to empower and serve business teams by letting them control and manage the business logic. Keep in mind, we slow down the business teams if we cannot implement fast enough.

Carrying the mindset that devs must own everything can be harmful and counterproductive. In this case, there seems to be a mutual benefit to both sides. If you don't believe so, let me know.
Wood pulp is extremely tough. Why use water power to pulp wood for a very long time when you can use it to pulp rags for a much shorter time to get the same amount of product?

Water power is limited. Consequently, you have to make choices as to what you are going to use it for. At that point economics kick in.

- "how do you expect to do better than evolution"

Because our goal is aligned with our actual problem (survival of individual human beings), as opposed to the merely partially-aligned goal of "statistical survival up to reproduction age"? Natural evolution is an unaligned AI, in a sense: powerful, but not helpful.

Eventually humanity will defeat this problem, and we won't even need computational parity with natural evolution to do that. Most of that computation is wasted.
Virtualization does not have a security/freedom tradeoff, as VMs have more isolation/security and more user freedom to install software.

Information density is a well-established concept in UI design, this experiment is not (just) about performance.

I think there's always been a good case for "they" rather than "he" in those contexts, e.g. "the player" being referred to as "they."

When speaking about "the player," you're not just speaking about one player, but anywhere from tens to tens of millions of players. That's a "they." And as they're all acting individually and independently within tens to tens of millions of individual game sessions, it makes sense to treat that "they" singularly.

So from that perspective, it's not really a desexed reference, but a reference to a multitude of people. But even if you're talking about the person hearing a Catholic confession, and it would always be safe to refer to each instantiated member of the class as "he," "they" still makes sense. They are a bunch of priests.

I am 72. My father worked for one company his entire life. He worked for one company his entire life, from 1931 to 1976. He started sweeping floors and ended as a Senior VP. In 1975 his employer went bankrupt and my dad received 8 cents on the dollar for his pension.

Later the Federal Government adopted a federal program insuring private pensions but that was no help for my dad. And employers, responsible for paying into the federal program, dropped private pensions like a hot potato.

I never had a pension. Hardly any private companies offered them to my generation. And nobody sat us down and explained 'retirement' and who supports you after you work all your life. Nobody explained it to my dad, who thought he was being provided for. And nobody explained it to 'Boomers' because there wasn't anyone with knowledge to explain 'it' to us. Our parents had pensions. They knew nothing about a world in which there weren't pensions.

The perilous and sad fate facing the Boomers in retirement has had the 'benefit' of at least providing us with the knowledge to educate our children about the perils of life. The hard rules are:

In the United States, you are solely responsible for what happens to you your entire life. Health care and retirement are both your responsibility. As demonstrated by my father's plight, this has always been true - even if there were lies told to you making you think you had a pension (btw, my father's employer was far from the only one that didn't have the funds to pay its pension benefits).

We live in a modern society in a modern world. However, it remains a world of winners and losers. And the losers far outnumber the winners when it comes to parceling out resources once you stop 'working for the man' the majority of your life.

You seem to be assuming that we first have to have countries, laws, and governments. That seems like an obvious assumptuon today, but that isn't an absolute fundamental of life.

People don't need the heavy hand of governments and laws to stop them from stealing and murdering, as if that is the base state for all humans. If there were no laws, would you move right on to both of those acts?
That's a surprisingly moralist take coming from someone who seems to have read and like Nietzsche (unless your pseudonym come from another Zarathustra). Whether you read him as a nihilist (some people do), post-nihilist or as a proto-existentialist, i don't see how you can see it as worse (a nihilist and post-nihilist wouldn't do such value judgement, and an existentialist wouldn't judge on how you live, but on what you do, and taking drugs to be in better shape isn't worse or better than powering through it with your own will.)

> Something most people don't seem to understand... to retire comfortably (in the US at least) you need to consistently save some percentage of your income all of your life, or a significant portion of your income most of your life.

The reason most people don't understand this is because retirement has historically been a pipe dream for 99% of the population. You worked until you were no longer able to get up physically (from illness or general deterioration).

Nowadays people don't just want to retire, but retire "comfortably", whatever that means. Presumably living in your paid off suburban home, while travelling and owning multiple cars? It's not sustainable and will revert back to the mean, unfortunately.
Thanks for the link! I'm 3/7ths of the way through it.
I asked some classical music people once if there was a history of harmony. Someone retorted that the modern concept of harmony was an inadequate way of understanding counterpoint, and that the primary concept should be voice leading, not vertical harmony. I suppose it makes sense — that our categories of musical analysis have histories, and it can be misleading to apply them out of context (as the rest of this thread is commenting).

But I still wish someone would write a history about "what kinds of harmonies do people think sound good/melodious/interesting, and which do they consider bad/ugly/weird/useless at a given moment." Or if that history already exists, I wish I knew how to find it.
This gives a new meaning to heavy heart
Some examples seem hard to play with, unfortunately. For instance, "Detecting button presses" assumes one is able to build modules for RPi, which probably is not trivial by itself (e.g., requires cross-compilation).
Scripts are UI glue in more than one sense.

The usual interpretation is that scripts glue together system commands that don't otherwise incorporate one another. This is tremendously useful and is by itself a huge advantage over GUIs.

But the second sense is that vast libraries of scripts keep developers bound to their previous UI promises. You don't capriciously change command-line options without raising all kinds of ire. I've seen GNU tools (tar comes to mind) in which options have been "deprecated" for decades, yet are still available. I seem to recall a very small number of cases where options had their senses entirely inverted, to much protest, and ultimately abandonment of those tools. In other cases you've got generations of programs which support backwards-compatible options with precursors: exim and postfix with sendmail, ssh with rsh, alpine with pine, off the top of my head. Developer headspace and script compatibility are valuable.

On that note, whilst I find the *BSD's extreme conservatism annoying myself, I can appreciate that it does lead to increased consistency over time as compared with GNU userland.
> Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville

Speaking at a crypto conference would be damaging to most politicians; in this case, it's the politician that is damaging to the conference.

It speaks volumes about crypto pushers, shills and enthusiasts when they're willing to cozy up with a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and all-around horrible person just in the (vain?) hope that he will in fact serve that community's narrow interests, the rest of society be damned. Were these people less delusional, more emotionally intelligent and more objectively judging they'd quickly recognize that even IF Donold Trump gets into office and IF he follows through on his promises he still doesn't bat an eyelid over throwing other people under the bus. He was willing to get his own VP hanged by a mob, and he once told his own nephew that maybe it was better for him if he agreed to euthanize people with mental disabilities, including the nephew's own child.
