Its pretty common. I think the difference is its a shutdown with a timeline.
At least on Nokia's S60, the J2ME implementation was so good that it made Opera Mini feel almost native, and definitely more snappy than the actually native Opera Mobile (arguably mostly due to the server-side rendering).

It definitely took Android a while to get to that level of performance; the first few versions didn't even have JIT for Dalvik, while I think even Sun's MIDP implementation had it.

OpenGL also only became available on Android 1.6, while J2ME devices usually had either Mascot Capsule or JSR 184 as you say (sometimes backed by software rendering, but some S60 devices had a mobile GPU backing it, I believe).

The human drawings on the crystal are actually the same as the ones on the voyager 1 disks.

I might be missing something here, but from the demo it looks like the user has to enter their API keys for their LLM provider. Is this is the intended use case for this tool? If so, how is this better than making a regular API request?
Timing worked out very well, then. The best time to take yourself off the market for a year or two and get a degree is when there's a slump.
WB patent the Nemesis system which boiled down is "a system where bosses evolve and get strong based on player interaction'. A patent they have pretty much not used and prevented other games from developing similar interactions.

Patents in gaming are weird and suck hard. They stifle innovation and growth. Games have evolved and grown on the backs of previous games forever.
I’ve tried many times, failed sometimes and succeeded others. My only advice is that every failure prior to you is documentation. Treat each prior failure like a codebase, dig in and figure it out. You will find lessons in the past.
It's not so hard to understand. I pay because I don't want to see the ads, but I do want to see the videos.

> Running a single IP stack is infinitely simpler and easier than running two concurrently

I’d say it’s marginally simpler. Unequivocally it’s quantifiably simpler. But infinitely simpler? That’s a pretty tall claim to make.
What about breathing the fumes? Also, doesn't (long-term) exposure to the fumes severely affect skin? I remember the folks soldering a lot of things for the Gemini and Apollo programs had very wrinkly, obviously damaged skin on their faces.
Better tooling replaces job openings. Not just AI tooling but better tooling in general. Instead of hiring that new developer, our new tools make our existing developers more efficient so it is no longer needed.

Capitalism is nowhere near a natural law. Capitalism left unchecked turns into what we have now. Basically Socialism for a small subset of wealthy people. Everytime a company is in trouble the government bails it out or adjusts the interest rate on money.
Good offers? From reputable companies? For jobs you want and are qualified for?
Depends on your users; there are, for instance, plenty of phones that only natively have v6 and have to use NAT64 to reach v4 websites. So if you have such users, there might be a benefit to supporting v6 directly.
> All an XML signature does is let you cryptographically sign an XML document. Same thing as what JWTs do with alg: "RS256" (no ES256, because remember: the year is 2000).

This stopped being true in 2005, see RFC 4050.
Well, we have that. What GP refers to is a missed opportunity, so NAT64 can't be what GP has in mind.
All 'boring' packets are hardware switched/routed with no CPU involvement in everything bigger than your home cable router.

For both switched and routed networks it's possible to build hardware that can route at the same speed as the ports, so in 2024 performance isn't really a reason to choose switched or routed.

Cost might be though - I believe that for the same number of gigabits, hardware sold as a switch is substantially cheaper.

Oh, I'm not familiar with that one. What's it called?
As you said though, those users can reach v4 websites.
The thing that I always liked about Pivotal is that it was visibly obvious that there was only one queue.

It forced everyone to ruthlessly prioritize and make the hard decisions.

In this moment, do you want me working on this bug, or this new feature? You have to decide - you get one or the other.

It avoided the "Everything is a high priority" dilemma.
I always cringe whenever someone who is well tenured on managing IT projects says on a group call that "They're not really a technical person"... It's often the result of being someone's protected buddy, but let's all be serious about it all, if these people continually manage technical programs, it's a huge failure for them to not be learning the landscape and regularly work on improving their understanding of how tech works, or at the bare minimum, leaving direction to accountable people that do know tech implications.

So many of the current apps we use now have been buried in adware and bloat due to the decisions of non-visionary minds leading as product owners... Most notably with Twitter/X, and frankly, it frustrates everyone and scuttles very mission critical operations that grow to rely on tools and services that were originally created by actual tech visionaries that learned and accelerated in the art...

Also, "learning on the fly" should not be a normal practice on mission critical operations... The ideal of under-bidding contracts and under-paying employees, and even hiring tons of junior employees for mission-critical development efforts is really destroying and undermining the entire industry.

Sometimes we need to just turn down the opportunity to work in a burning bowl of spaghetti, the resulting products & services always reflect the process applied to create them, no matter how many "smart" work-arounds are created.
2 thoughts: 1. It's 2024 and the US just now introduced online passport applications!? In the uk we must have been doing that for a decade at least. How is the US so backwards with this?

2. The cost of a passport is 130 dollars. Why so expensive?

Edit: another one, from the article >hoped to expand
the program in the coming years to possibly include Americans

why not already? Anyone abroad would have an even harder time applying by post. In some countries post is practically obsolete. If delivery is an issue just send it to the consulate and work it out from there its like they are barely even trying.
North Carolina has a school for the blind that was established back in mid 1800's. I believe they support all ages - https://www.governormorehead.net/
https://we.phorge.it/ is a community fork that appears pretty active.

They rendered the site server-side (including JavaScript execution for a couple of seconds and all) and then sent the rendered page in some binary markup language to the client, with images heavily compressed.

I actually still sometimes use it on iOS! The app is no longer available in most (all?) App Store regions, but I still have it on my account and can redownload it. The servers seem to still be there!
I think that's a totally reasonable compromise which would reduce abuse both by employer and employees. However actually determining what a specific job role entails is quite complicated. Take a look at the SOC codes in the US or NOCs in Canada. Even if you figure that out, auditing people to make sure their day-to-day matches their notional job code is pretty hard.
Seems like the right call. I had a few friends who graduated in 2002. Some of them tried and failed to find a job straight out of Uni, and that really screwed them. They started working retail to keep food on their table and then they were somebody with no relevant experience but not really suitable for the new grad hiring pipeline.

OTOH those who went into the master's program in 2002 were fine, they came out a couple of years later when the market was hot.
>We've got so many preconceived ideas

they're not preconceived, you didn't have them when you were a child. I think this points to the benefits to their own development (and then to the rest of us) that abled children get from disabilities being mainstreamed as much as is practical.
By the way, I'm Hubert, the CTO of EloqData, I'm the one who submitted the post and happy to answer any questions you have.
Agreed, and I suspect part of what made it great is that it was being ignored. I love all the dubious new features it doesn't have, and the complex larger platform offering it isn't a part of.
One of my very first ventures into programming as a little child was trying to figure out how to write my own games for my nokia phone.

I remember being so hopeless staring into the decompiled java code for my favorite games trying to learn something from it and spin into my own game.

I'm now an (aspiring) android dev, and looking back at the past I can only say "Damn, it has gotten so much better since then"

> Knopp, the CEO of Pequity, says AI engineers are being offered two- to four-times the salary of a regular engineer. “That’s an extreme investment of an unknown technology,” she says. “They cannot afford to invest in other talent because of that.”

> Companies outside the tech industry are also adding AI talent. “Five years ago we did not have a board saying to a CEO where’s our AI strategy? What are we doing for AI?”

Sounds like the AI fad is sucking all the oxygen out of the room. I wish these CEOs had the courage to tell their stupid, uncreative, trend-following boards: "Nothing. Our AI strategy is nothing. We will continue to invest in our core business rather than chasing the latest trend you read about in Harvard Business Review." But they don't. They have no backbone and are about as uncreative and unfocused as their boards.
It's not really a poor argument. This was the understanding of how the internet worked before we decided to use the internet to replace TV. There was never a guarantee of payment to anyone running a public web server.

But I think you've highlighted exactly why net neutrality is terrible in practice (people effectively stealing bandwidth by blocking ads).
I love how blind people are replying here. Had the privilege to interview a programmer who was blind once. It floored me how well this guy could work. The speed, the ability to hold code in his mind that had only been read once to him was astounding. He got bested by someone with more specific domain experience and I still regret not being able to work with him.
I've been using Plane (https://github.com/makeplane/plane), also available as a hosted solution (https://plane.so).
A lot of good things have already been said, but having worked on similar initiatives within larger banks, here are some of my key takeaways:

- Treat it as a product. Build something that would be appealing to real world customers. Spent time on writing great documentation, making a website that demos the components and advertise them internally. Even if other teams will be forced to use what you build by company mandate, getting buy-in will make your life much easier.

- Write great documentation. Incorporate usage by other teams as code samples.

- Avoid becoming the bottleneck at all costs. If you ship components to other teams, these components won't do all the things the other teams need. This will create friction for the other team and make you a bottleneck in their development workflow. They won't put up with this for long and quickly start working around your library or ditch it alltogether. To avoid this, make sure you continuously allocate some parts of your team to make fast changes and remain responsive.

- Allow for others to contribute back. Teams won't just use your things - they'll extend it. Make sure you have a clear and structured way to incorporate their changes.

- Stay responsive. Embed your developers and designers within the teams using your library. Don't become "the UI team" that bestows the unworthy with an update at their leisure - get close to your "customers", share their wants and pains.
Not really my point, was just pointing out there's scant incentive to transition from the incumbent.
> First, the place where Christ was supposed to have been born is "special". Clearly he (or god) chose to be born in some continent and not another. Now multiply to... how many planets are there in the universe? What's the chance that Earth in particular was a special planet to be born in?

Some discussion:

> When asked how aliens could be redeemed, [Vatican Observatory head] Father Funes referred to the Gospel parable of the lost sheep. Aliens, he speculated, could already be redeemed because they could have remained in full friendship with God, while the human race “could be precisely the lost sheep, the sinners that need the shepherd.”

> But what if they were sinners like us? Father Funes replied that just as Jesus is believed to have come to save mankind, so he was sure that they, “in some way, would have the chance to enjoy God’s mercy.”

[…]

> The question has also been debated within the Church since the Middle Ages and was discussed by Christian apologist C.S. Lewis, whose fictional “Space Trilogy” featured extraterrestrial beings.

As I remember it, the problem with video replies wasn't that they didn't take off, it's that they were mostly dominated by busty women making fairly low-effort content but whose thumbnails nonetheless drew clicks.

I don't how most of the Apple users miss (or do they?) but iOS has been on constant decline for some time. Bloody hell they screwed the Photos app to pathetic. Why would they even do that? Was someone bored?

They locked and coupled "call recording" feature with AI (and transcription as if older users would protested getting just the audio) and hence shrewdly limited to new devices. This was disgusting. The only feature I was really looking forward to.

Why the hell did they add that "colour tint" change for icons? Bloody hell!

And yet, even in iOS 18 you cannot change alert/ringtone settings for different SIM separately. I mean how retarded they at Apple have to be to not realise that two different numbers might actually demand that! Or maybe they will have to overhaul their entire codebase to do that. This seems plausible seeing their track record on Software.

Oh yes, iCloud and iCloud syncing across "various things" still sucks and is still opaque and you just hope it works and you have no idea of knowing what was history, if there was any conflict, did something even sync, where the hell are my tabs from the other device hours and days later, why the hell some tabs remain glued in iCloud Tabs which I removed from a device a fortnight or month ago. Et cetera. Et cetera.

Not to mention there is barely any advancement in the Phone and that too with raised price. No wonder people don't want a new iPhone.

I thought Google would step up - make privacy better et cetera. But no, these companies are in completely harmony and perfect duopoly knowing fully well that they should not try to eat each other's lunches.
I had interpreted “the EU aims to compel Apple to re-engineer its services to allow rival companies to access the iPhone’s operating system” to mean that they want other phone manufacturers to be able to install iOS on their phones. I agree that your interpretation is much more reasonable.
It doesn't need to make sense, you just need to have a market to sell it into. And that market is massive, it's basically any government worldwide that has bought the rhetoric that renewables don't work. Ontario, Saskatchewan and Poland are 3 examples off the top of my head, there are many others.
As cool as this looks, how long before google gets bored and abandons it?

The entire conversation has to be about risk tolerance, because that's all there is. There never has been, and never will be, a 100% safe solution.
Have you ever been in a factory? Perhaps you’ve seen automated material handling systems, robotic assembly systems, and so on. Have you seen the plumbing? Have you seen a pump fail and be replaced? We are a long, long, long way from the lights-out factory. A steady reduction in the number of machine operators does not a self-sufficient plant make.
My last trip to the ER was in 2010. Probably because I had good health insurance, they saw me quickly (less than half an hour), cleaned me up, maybe glued a cut, and I was done.

This was in the US, just outside Washington, DC.
It doesn't say that.
Sadly no mention of Section-174, which is a contributing factor. As a reminder, TCJA (2017) amended Section-174 (with a 5-year deferral) to require amortization over 5 (domestic) or 15 (foreign) years of all R&E expenses, and included all software development under R&E. This went into effect in 2022. This causes unexpected employer tax bills over money that has been spent on employee salaries and over which these employees are also taxed.

There have been repeated promises by congress to fix it but these efforts have failed so far. The latest attempt, HR7024, received overwhelming support in the house but stalled in the senate over objections by Idaho senator Mike Crapo and was later voted down (mostly by senate Rs, but also notable by a handful of progressive Ds).

your last statement isn't grounded in reality. suicide is available to any determined person, and there are loads of them per year. what do you mean by unrestricted suicide? what's restricted suicide? people who want to commit suicide will, irrespective of what the law says. i'm yet to meet a suicide prevention program that refers to the strength of the law or the terror of the punishment.
I think there are some labor board requirements to report layoffs? Maybe that could be used. Could implement some rule where you can't do layoffs at all while employing visa holders. No way that an industry going through massive layoffs needs to bring in people on visas while unemployed citizens can't get hired.
Not really, you have to paraphrase what was actually said not completely distort the original meaning to push your narrative.

What's more alarming to me is that they (the jabber operators) seemingly stopped caring about it. Whatever this intercepting proxy did (including from the sound of it, spoofing ACME challenges from their domain to get a certificate) could be illegal and they didn't even attempt to do anything about it, AND they are assuming that continuing to use the service after the attack stopped is somehow safe now.

Either they are grossly negligent/incompetent (IMO unlikely given the extent of their research), or they knew it was intercepted on purpose (either by law enforcement, the provider itself or one of their upstreams) and intentionally aren't saying so. They could also be withholding or lying about any number of things, including the exact response from the hosting providers.
> In my experience, anything XML-related seems to be the product of simplicity-hating architecture astronauts with zero consideration for efficiency, possibly as a way of justifying their existence and continued employment.

I am very confused by people who have emotional reactions to technologies. XML has a number of capabilities that are very difficult to represent in other documents without creating an unreadable mess. XML is more than just the worst SOAP api you've used.
How relevant is this when AI has the ability to both write and debug massive code bases?

I imagine a future world where 100% of coding and debugging is done by prompt not by editing code.
Just adding to this for completeness sake that if one suspected a device of being tampered with in that manor I would not just open it. Maybe they did not add any anti-tampering switches or conductive strips but this would be the hard way to learn if they did.
How about you provide your sources in response to a recent situation in which you made a highly untenable, and also quite provocative assertion -- yet, when asked to provide sources in a perfectly polite and unassuming manner (very much unlike your own formulation in this case, which was full of innuendo and sarcasm from the get-go) -- you simply bailed:

You may not like it, but the USA has called for Irans' destruction a hundred times.

And then perhaps we'll talk.

Note please the special emphasis on "the USA", meaning an official, governmental statement or policy (not just the throwaway pronouncements of 1 or 2 of its windbag politicians). And the number "a hundred", as in, you know, 10x10, or heck, any number of roughly similar magnitude.

Being as these were, after all, the words you chose to use for some reason.

Perhaps, I care too much.

Thats great, and I'm sure you're a great person too, on the whole. I've actually upvoted a lot of your other postings (there was one in particular about "catharsis" that I stumbled on while searching for something else, which seemed right on the money and which I really liked).

It's just that, given various indications -- such as the blatant exaggeration followed by blatant evasiveness highlighted above, and the weirdly propagandistic phrasing you seem to like to use to a conspicuous degree -- I'm just not sure that, in regard to geopolitics at least, this whole factual accuracy thing is really your "bag".
