Practically speaking, because there's no need to, at least for 99% of the population. Any relevant information you can think of will probably get covered by a few hundred/thousand independent sites for free, or posted on social media, or covered in videos on sites like YouTube, etc.

And that's kinda the internet's thing. Any market that was based on information has now seen the bottom fall out of it, since anyone can compete with anyone else when it comes to providing/giving away said information.

Probably also doesn't help that a lot of the other things news outlets used to be able to capitalise on (classified ads, comic strips, sports scores, etc) have now been debundled and can be found on numerous other websites that only provide that service.

Either way, while a lot of people will blame Google/Facebook/eBay/Amazon/Sinclair/whatever for the situation, the honest answer is that traditional news coverage is simply because financially non viable as a product. At best, you'll get a small audience that wants something specialist and will pay for it, but that'll never be the majority of the population.
This is largely the same stuff Wired pushed.

Well, he adapted Clascal & Object Pascal from Lisa & Macintosh to the DOS/Windows PC world, and added a couple features from CLOS to turn it into Delphi, and married that with Sun’s C++-syntax bytecode-compiled variant of Objective-C to produce C#.

He certainly deserves credit for what he did, but not what those whose shoulders he stood on did.

Doesn’t even matter at this point? Do we have free speech when the boundaries of what is acceptable speech is defined by an oligarchy that is willing to suppress stories in all forms of media?

One thing seems certain to me: we were never free. Those in power will do as they please. Here or in Russia it’s all the same.
unfortunately tools like geekbench are used by most reviewers and even companies themselves to promote their products. its very hard to find proper benchmark results these days (very few sites do proper scientific testing of SoC's / GPUs etc). in most cases unless you buy and run the tests on your own you never know the truth.
Surely it must be at least fifty percent correct, since you grant the first clause :)

Of course the duty does not extend to committing crimes. I was being a bit cynical. You are right that profit maximisation and fiduciary duty are distinct concepts. In practice, though, the owners are profit maximisers. Companies that do not profit maximise are less attractive to investors, attract less investment, and are outcompeted.

To advocates of the market system, this is a feature and not a bug. But its effect is that companies operate "optimally" within the bounds of the law - said differently, the line between legal and illegal conduct is generally skirted as closely as possible. And when, as other commenters have noted, punishments for breaking the law are on average less than the profits incurred by illegal activity, selection bias means you are left with lawbreakers in the long run.

You are right that this is not a (direct) consequence of the fiduciary duty of an executive. I stand by my main point, though, that this behaviour is a consequence of the owners' selection criteria, and they deserve to be punished for it.
It's not about right or left, the biggest populists in the 90's were labeling themselves as communists or socialists.

Reality distortion is the job.
Was and still is, I don't really grasp what kind of Stockholm syndrome goes by at WinDev, that they finally had something that could match against C++ Builder (UWP with C++/CX), only to kill it via a mini-riot, replacing it with a development experience akin to doing ATL with Visual C++ 6.0.

If only IDL tooling, and related C++ code generation wasn't frozen in time, just like it first came in Visual Studio almost 30 years ago, besides updating the actual language to MIDL 3.0, that is.

And now while WinUI 3.0 folks tell the story that you can use C++ with WinUI / WinAppSDK, what they don't tell is the castastrophic state of C++/WinRT tooling in Visual Studio, that there are no plans to improve it past C++17, and the only thing happening ot its repo is bug fixes.

Stay away from it as much as possible, and using it with C# and CsWinRT is not much better, as many errors are surfaced as HRESULT exceptions, and you need to actually single step into C++/WinRT code to actually find out the real cause.
VCs want carbon copies of themselves, socioeconomically and politically, taking the the risks they would if they had the situations of their founders. If you're not them, slightly sifted in circumstance, basically them, they see you as prey.
One thing flex cannot do well is white space: how do you leave a gap of content without spacer divs?

This becomes more complicated when the number of divs is dynamic as flex determines position based on siblings. With grid you already have defined the “layout”, and you are just placing the div into the correct position.

Grid does that in both axis too. So although you may be able to kind of replicate the 1d version with flex, it becomes much harder to align in 2D.

I wrote an article about this: https://cssprinciples.com/3/grid/
So you believe Russia is simultaneously so weak that they can barely push out 150km beyond their borders and greedily eyeing their neighbors for annexation potential?

And are you saying NATO can’t be enlarging because Russia wants to annex territory so that means NATO hasn’t been enlarging?
If news were 100% neutral and delivered without ads/product placements and could be 100% trusted, I'm sure there are people who would pay for it.

This is the first fiction book I read in more than a decade.

Fortnite returns to phones with Epic Games Store mobile debut
Oh that is nice, but NextCloud never made effective use of that. It's been a while but I also found the browser plugins and methods to use the DB on mobile platforms cumbersome. Idk, perhaps much has changed, I have been on Vaultwarden for years now, and more recently switched to Proton Pass. Both have excellent Web UIs, iOS/Android apps and browser plugins.

Moreover, Vaultwarden and Proton Pass make using Passkeys and sharing credentials with org or family members trivial (arguably Proton Pass even more so than Vaultwarden).
Actually it is a bit more nuanced than that, Anders Hejlsberg was so pissed with Borland's management that he finally accepted the occasional invites from ex-Borland people working at Microsoft.

He tells the story in this interview,

"Anders Hejlsberg: A craftsman of computer language"

https://behindthetech.libsynpro.com/001-anders-hejlsberg-a-c...

By the way, he also contributed to J++, that where P/Invoke, events, Windows Forms, properties came from initially (Yes, Delphi also had events and propertiers by then).
When you prime it with those initial 10-20 examples, the responses need to be in the style that you’d like it to respond to. You can use Claude or ChatGPT to help you write those. The model will then just continue on in that same style.
> Money is just a way of keeping track of to what fraction of future output of other people you are entitled to (as agreed upon by human race).

I don't agree with this definition of money. The vast majority of money doesn't represent human output/labor and none of it is created by human labor. Probably the simplest to understand example of that is crypto. It represents trillions of USD in wealth and has almost no human labor input or output. That's a simple example, but certainly not the only example.

> Is that true? Despite trillions of debt?

Yes it's true. It's not even close. The US federal government spends in a single year more than the largest companies in this world would cost to buy flat out. They could save up for roughly 6 months and buy out the most expensive company in the world (apple). A company that has been growing their wealth for 50 years. This is why I struggle to find a consistent value system that claims we are solving problems by taking money from big earners and giving it to entities that already control many orders of magnitude more money. Moving money from the grossly rich to the insanely unthinkably rich doesn't make much sense to me.

> Completely unrelated but since you asked, I have nothing against capping athletes at the top level of success.

What problem does this solve? I don't have anything much against it either, but I can't find any reason to do this.
They didn't write that it was likely, just that NPR willingly participated in the Establishment campaign to suppress and distort the lab leak hypothesis.

I don’t know if most of the founders listed in the article are abnormally high risk takers in terms of downside risk (other than Adam perhaps). They all seem to have secured a decent backup plan if things started going south.

To see this, just look at what each founder was doing immediately prior to going all-in on their startup. It was typically something that set them up to fail gracefully if necessary. Bezos had plenty of connections at D.E. Shaw by the time he decided to drive to Washington and could have easily returned to the finance industry at any point. If Facebook had failed, Zuckerberg would have at least been able to secure a high-level role at an existing tech company. And it may only be a rumor, but I believe Elon Musk had a certain window of time to resume pursuing his PhD at Stanford if he desired.

This isn’t a criticism of these founders not being “risk takers”, but rather just an observation to serve as a counterpoint to the article. The decisions I have made in my own career so far are based on laying the groundwork for the same strategy—set things up so I can attempt a startup at some point, and if it fails, my previous work history plus a decent amount of savings should minimize downside risk. And the additional experience of leading a failing startup isn’t worthless; I once worked at one where many employees jumped ship to better jobs than the ones they were at prior to joining the startup.
"wasn’t any more expensive than the competition (IBM)"

In other words: no more expensive than the other thing nobody ever bought? The success of the PC did not lie in IBM selling large numbers.
That does make a lot of sense, at least in terms of latency: I imagine that when a one-hop announce comes back from outer space, the faster multi-hop path across town will have already been established.

For bandwidth, however, I don't see it yet. If all relevant nodes are idle at the time an announce comes in (so the 2% limit doesn't come into effect), a low-bandwith route might be established before one with a much higher bandwidth, no? (Prioritising latency over bandwidth can be the right thing to do, of course, depending on what the network is used for. But it might not.)

Complex Beauties: Calendars with visualizations of complex functions
For the past 14 years, Freiberg University of Mining and Technology has been publishing calendars of Complex Beauties, which include 12 stunning visualizations of complex functions each year, along with the background information and the related mathematicians. I would highly recommend reading the stories behind these complex functions. I have bought several copies as gifts in recent years and feel sad to learn that the 2024 version is the last one. I guess this is because Prof. Wegert may have retired.

Prof. Elias Wegert, the author who actively contributes to these calendars, also wrote Visual Complex Functions: An Introduction with Phase Portraits[1].

Yep. Verified boot is designed to erase your ability to use banking apps, streaming apps, etc. if you touch any of the code running on the system. Because it's "insecure" to change anything from the default. (read: "insecure" to reduce the amount of remote control that big tech has over your phone)

When I buy a phone, I don't want to use something owned by someone else. I want to own it myself.

Mobile Linux is absolute garbage though, even worse than desktop Linux, which is why I can't realistically use either.
Back when I was taking programming classes in the early 90s, everything was done on "IBM compatible" PCs because of the job market. I remember one professor talking about how everyone that learned to program in high school did it on Apple computers, but said they had to switch because there were no professional programming jobs for Apple.

The school had Macs, but those were for graphics-oriented classes, and they had Apples, but those were for word processing.
> It can also help to have something else: a chip on your shoulder. Josh Wolfe, of Lux Capital, is fond of the phrase "chips on shoulders put chips in pockets." Feeling left out, excluded, or estranged can make you extremely competitive. VCs want founders who are willing to commit to low-probability ideas — ideas they think the rest of the world is wrong about — for a decade or more. What motivates a person to do something like that? Wolfe, who grew up in a single-parent home in New York's gritty Coney Island neighborhood, told me he thinks there's a common answer: revenge.

At this time, I'd like to ask all the VCs to form an orderly line in front of my desk, and to have their checkbooks ready.
afaik that's temporary and lasts only a few weeks, even if maintaining the loading dose.
The effect also seems localized to muscles so unless you are overweight the effect is mostly flattering.
interesting, though i don't think that isolating sensitive stuff in a vm is a reasonable security strategy if we are talking about low-level compromise of the entire architecture, or did you want to rationalize the usage for "defense stuff"?
Of course it is. If you want security, you should secure the files (i.e., signatures, public key, whatever), not the carrier pigeon used to send them.

I'm sure you're right. I think I started playing it a couple of years after it came out.

Also, I found the battle simulations tiresome, so I stayed on the strategic side and auto-resolved the battles.

The one big bug which puzzled me is that there is a probability indicator before you auto-resolve, yet, no battle that it predicts you will win EVER is lost. So the probabilities are meaningless. I liked that bug, though. I don't want randomness.
No, currently - Snap.as ( https://snap.as/ ) doesn't seem to be open-source and is only available (as a service) if you have a paid Write.as account ( https://write.as/pricing ).

Correct, enter semiotics.

You also need to take into account the size of each response, how long your server needs to keep the data in memory (e.g. because of latency, the requester's bandwidth, etc), whether requests to the same file can share a buffer or not, how much data you can be sending at the same time while still being responsive (e.g. without slowing down other responses, causing them to take longer, requiring you to keep those resources in memory for longer, and snowballing from there), ..., stuff like that.

For short text messages, probably not an issue. With larger stuff like images or video, I would be more careful.

Still, even for text-only, if you're using PostgreSQL, by default you have a limit of (I think) 100 parallel connections (or 97, because I think 3 are reserved for superusers), but each connection can only be executing one transaction at a time, so that can quickly become a bottleneck depending on your application and how fast you need to make queries vs how long your queries take to return a response. So then you might need to tune some PostgreSQL settings, or add caching, or some other way to work around the issue.

If you add more services, then you also need to keep in mind the latency between those services.

And so on and so on. So RAM and network would probably become an issue way earlier than CPU in most cases.

TL;DR: "It depends".
> I missed out on Shogun 1

I remember when I was a kid and shogun 1 was announced. I spent many hours in excitement, reading over and over gaming magazines reviewing the game announced features.

The game concept was simply mindblowing at the time. I was used to RTS like AoE and the likes, and always felt like I wanted more realism. Shogun 1 felt like a dream come true.

Such good memories.

Sorry, but summarizing key points from a ~12,000 line poem written in a foreign language is the ideal use case for chatGPT in a comment.

1. Quotes are not feasible.

2. There is no readily available human summary in a short enough form for a comment

3. Goethe's version was referred to in the OP as "incoherent," indicating that they didn't read or understand it

4. The summary directly addressed important topics in the discussion, namely refuting the idea that Faust always loses to the devil

5. I clearly edited the summary

I know that most uses of chatGPT in comments are bad. This was an experiment in how to elevate the culture of use. I will accept downvotes with grace.

My point remains: did you know that steam engines play a key plot role in Faust AND that his soul is not taken by the devil in the end?
