> Sounds like a lot of speculation on your end

This issue is discussed extensively in “the art of Unix programming” if we want to play the authority and experience game.

> multithreaded CPU-intensive code would be a nice, obvious solution to a problem

Processes are well supported in python. But if you’re maxing your CPU core with the right algorithm then python was probably the wrong tool.

> my experience has been that these are very real.

When you’re used to working one way it may seem impossible to frame the problem differently. Just to remind you this is a NEW feature in python. JavaScript, perl, and bash, also do not support multi threading for similar reasons.

One school of design says if you can think of a use case, add that feature. Another tries to maintain invariants of a system.
This question has come up a few times in this thread. However I don't see how people expect this to be possible unless they are talking about ndjson with flat records. JSON in general is a very nested format so languages based on relational algebra/calculus like SQL and PRQL are not going to be that useful unless the data is flattened and normalised first.
By 1939 it was too late for the journal editors to say anything, but they no longer had the luxury of not caring.

The way it seems to work is, it's always too early to say something, and then it's too late. It's never the "right time."
Iron dome is only used against small rockets, and was never intended to hit ballistic or cruise missiles. Thus it's not a failure since they aren't used for that kind of defense. There are separate anti ballistic systems that were used and shot down many of the rockets.

No matter how much hackers and activists try to redefine the word "monopoly" to mean what it isn't, the word still will have the same meaning. And being a market leader doesn't mean you are a monopoly. Toyota does not have a monopoly on motorized transportation.

Having two competing companies being tried for the same monopoly is tragicomic, and only to show how rotten the courts have become.
>I think the US already leans too heavily on tying everything up in courts forever.

yes, because companies have decided to consider courts as a cost to do business instead of a regulator they must not piss off at any cost. the courts in that capacity will simply be abused, especially as these fast moving tech companies can make billions beofore a case shuts it all down.

Definitely needs to be some reform to how punishment works, especially retroactive costs.
My understanding is that the latest versions of the Apache and Cobra are very different from their original incarnations, despite looking similar, no?
Another reason it was a Simulator and not an Emulator to begin with could be because a lot of iOS (or iPhone OS) components at the time were forks of existing Mac OS X libraries.

> This argument falls apart when you consider digital photographers. They didn’t create the image - a machine and software did. Would you make the same argument that a photographer’s only copyright is the input to the camera settings and the color-grading software

All this says is you have no idea how much skill, theory and planning goes into digital photography when people are pursuing it as an art form and not just record keeping

Really artistic photographers put in an enormous amount of work into a photo, scouting locations, finding the right time and lighting for the shot they want, sometimes even waiting for the right season

The artistic value of digital photography is embedded in the artists skills, knowledge, and time

Comparing Digital Photographers to AI prompters who can generate a mountain of sludge with a single prompt is a joke
> i think many people underestimate how requirements grow over time because our UI standards have gone up over time

I think you are overestimating how much 'UI standards' have gone up over time, actually. Nobody except for a small 'extremely online' set of people and control-freak designers care about all those complex UI/UX requirements. Users certainly don't care. They want fast-loading, responsive pages that get out of the way and don't drain their batteries or clog up their connection.

The other thing here is that approximately no one can actually tackle the complexity introduced by SPA frameworks and 'UI standards', and it's far more likely that they bungle it up and make giant, wasteful, UX pitfall-ridden apps. With server rendered pages, plain old HTML, and progressive enhancement, we at least have a better chance of producing something usable.
You posted a one-line dismissive and condescending put-down yourself, which basically added nothing to the conversation.

Don't hold others to higher standards than you hold yourself.

> I think that it is logical to sell your company to highest bidder when you want to exit

Some founders are more than happy to sell at a lower price if they think the lower bidder will be a good custodian of the company.

“Good custodian” is relative, but often means things like treating existing employees well, trying to maintain the best parts of the company culture, keeping clients happy, keeping the quality of the product or service of a company at a high level, etc.

Sometimes founders realize that an extra bag of money on top of the multiple bags they are already getting won’t buy them self-respect.

Fiduciary responsibility can make this murky sometimes, but that’s a cop out more often than not, imho.
Nice, but react.

How does the use of certificate pinning mean anything when a FISA court can demand the keys and issue a gag order to prevent public disclosure?
It's a mix of both. Some mergers fall through under regulation fear. Others fall through because aquisitions are expensive and it'd take years to make up for the cost (like the activision/blizzard one that was announced when money was cheap and went through when money became expensive).

A single example is insufficient, especially when that example is Drupal.

In a former life I evaluated WordPress, Drupal, and some other open source CMSs. Drupal seemed remarkably terrible. Maybe I just wasn't the target user...but UI, UX, and DX all seemed blighted and the ecosystem much less vibrant than WP's. Came away thinking it was a vestige of yesteryear, and not something in which to invest any time, energy, or money.

Maybe that's a harsh take on Drupal, but one already-seemingly-in-decline property from which one PE firm extracted value... if over-extraction and under-investment really is a systemic problem of PE, there must be many more, much better examples.
VC relies on you growing enough to attract bigger investors in the future at a higher valuation, including going public. PE bets on you having a really reliable cash flow that they could strap a bunch of debt on to extract the cash in a tax-favored government-subsidized fashion.
> I prefer junky fantasy books.

Kindle books like that are what fill in the gaps in my free time. One recent fantasy series I liked was The Good Guys/The Bad Guys by Eric Ugland. Somehow kept me turning pages.

some others (not fantasy) Infinity Gate by M.R. Carey; Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin;

But sometimes there is a lot of dreck to wade through.

Been thinking of making a "stop reading and discard book" list like:

- main character has unknown/dead parents, is secretly "the chosen one"

- no plot, character goes there, minimal opposition, gets all the stuff.

- anything harem
My understanding was that they sent the computers faster than light while their ships were traveling at sub-lightspeed, or something like that, which is why they could get here and fuck up the planet centuries before their fleet would make it.

My point, though, is that we're making up a fantasy world where the impossible is possible, and a bleak universe isn't more "realistic" than a hopeful one. It bothers me that people try to praise the "realism" in these books. They might as well have just sent Frieza to blow up the planet. It's within the same realm of possibility.

A BS article if I ever saw one. Take for example this:

> Moreover, the threat is not the organic air defences of battlegroups or a Soviet Motor-Rifle Regiment or Brigade, but dispersed and well-hidden infantry and special forces units equipped with modern MANPADS missile systems. Furthermore, because the enemy forces are operating over the defenders’ own ground, the defence can be cued and alerted to approaching helicopters, given good data connectivity.

which is exactly what did NOT happen when the Ukrainians counter-attacked on their own territory, in Southern-Ukraine, when the Russian Ka-52s had a field day (actual, several field days) against incoming Ukrainian heavy armour. These Anglo guys still live in the 1980s, they should ask the Ukrainians what they feel about the "demise" of the attack helicopter, that way maybe non-sense like this won't get published anymore.

Its at least a bit interesting that this idea that "Ayn Rand exists as a roundabout litmus test for assholes" is quite weird, one I've never heard before, except from him. To arrive independently at the exact same, weird conclusion, there must be something to it.
"draining the working class's resources and stability" has been the shift as of late.
I read it this year. I loved it. I think if I read it a few years earlier it would be totally lost on me.

For my self what I found interesting is the depiction of Russia in the 19th century, and the on-going transition from a peasant agrarian society into "modernity" and all the confusion it creates. I am not Russian, yet it all seemed so familiar to me. Why? Because I think this same transition is going on in my ethnic country - though 200 years later. Because the archetypes of people shown, the attitudes among former aristocrats and landowners, inefficient (and unserious) bureaucracy, conflicting ideas about religion vs secularism, inferiority complex towards "modernism", changing views of women's role in society, etc I've seen all the same things.

And of course, the book finally convinced me that I should not give into nihilism and pessimism even when everyone around me does.

I was commenting on the notion that ambition is in some way prima facie bad.

In response, I was told that my understanding of philosophy is like that of a 20 year old and that I am intellectually stuck in the 1800s (in a comment comically premised on the moral philosophy of the ancient greeks).

I do not see my comment as a put-down at all and it certainly is not anything like that response. Nonetheless, I will take your feedback into account - clearly it came across to multiple people as condescending.
Let's say hypothetically Cobalt was made by ByteDance as a way to scrape youtube and have a scapegoat. Is it still okay?

> In short, Epic sued and won because Google got between them and Samsung.

This is actually very insightful given the history between Google and Samsung with Tizen.
I'm starting to suspect that google is behind xkcd, i.e. running some generative AI script behind the scenes whenever someone looks for a comic.
I guess I just have to disagree. My experience is that it is robust, and removes an entire category of problems that appear when your state is spread across the back- and frontend.

As someone else mentioned, SSE is a somewhat simpler protocol that achieves the same purpose. Same idea though.
> posix_spawn() now accepts None for the env argument, which makes the newly spawned process use the current process environment

That is the thing about fork(), spawn(), and even system() being essential wrappers around clone() in glibc and musl.

You can duplicate the behavior of fork() without making the default painful for everyone else.

In musl systems() calls posix_spawn() which calls clone().

All that changes is replacing a legacy call fork() that is nothing more than a legacy convenience alias with real issues and foot guns with multiple threads.

I couldn't help thinking of the AlphaSmart[0] while reading this. The writer's primary need seems to be an offline, lasts-forever writing device, so no version of the AlphaSmart meets all the criteria. But it is (or was) an offline-only device that was limited to writing and a few educational applications. The keyboard was excellent, text could be transferred between device and computer via cable, and the AA-batteries would last for literally hundreds of hours.

We don't know if they underperfomed so much as weren't cost effective. If the switchblade costing $10k results in a kill 80% of the time, while the $1k drone is 30% of the time, you just get 3 times as many $1k drones, average about the same kill rate, and save 70% to boot. Or spend the same amount and get about 3x the kill rate.
> If you work with image kernels / reconstruction filters long enough you will eventually learn that 90% of the time you want a gauss kernel.

Strongly disagree, and my commercial software is known for its high image quality and antialiasing. Gaussian is way too blurry unless you're rendering for film.
It was 30% vs whatever parties like Symbian asked at the time. Or other existing platforms like consoles where developers were left with less than 70%.

Safely distributing software was a pain in 2007 and did involve a lot of expensive publishing

One thing I've found with the subscription services is that their "stations" are too homogeneous. I mean, I like jazz and classical, but I can't listen to just one style within those genres for hours -- especially while driving. And if you've got unlimited data, then there are free online "FM" stations, including NPR. WFMT out of Chicago rarely disappoints.

And the threat of having to pay for it limited my interest in exploring it any further.
Defender slows down build times significantly.

You can set exclusions of course, but it does get tedious because every time you have a new project you need to add exclusions for its folder and the toolchain. Then every time a toolchain is updated (eg .../gcc/11.5 changes to gcc/11.5.2 you have to enter the 20 new exe exclusions and of course windows won't let you mass delete the old ones so it's click->confirm->click->confirm x50).

I might not do it myself but I can see why someone would just say "enough is enough".
There’s something icky about discussing killing real people like it was fan fiction of a sci-fi franchise.
For all the people commenting on the discrepancy between this ruling and the one in Apple’s case: now perhaps you see the value of good lawyers. Apple was able to convince the judge in their case to fairly narrowly define the market segment at issue. Google failed to do that here. And no, it’s not as simple as saying they’re the same so this will get overturned on appeal to stay consistent with the Apple ruling. The market segment definition is case-specific and fact-intensive.

So what, it's how the music world operates as well. Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube have virtually all that one could ever want to listen (and I'd guess Youtube has the biggest catalog from all the pirates LOL).

I'm all for more mandatory-licensing options, particularly the movie/series space is long overdue for getting a few butts thoroughly kicked - all the streaming sites combined are now more expensive than a cable bill.
Its not just tech but capability. You can give some random country F35s, that doesn't mean they are useful.
I mean, I'm not a lawyer so I won't really judge what's a good or bad argument. My impression is that forcing open standards is a much harder argument than an antitrust one. Open standards can come at a later step.

>You do see them for new cars, but they are just taking whatever they would have given you as a cash discount and converting it into a low rate.

Web frameworks allow for much more: URL redirections, specific management of append-slash and case-sensitive URLs, complex regex matching, etc.

> Auth is typically DIY in any language, or SaaS like Firebase/Auth0. It's not a language or framework problem, necessarily

False. Django, Laravel, Rails and batteries-included languages have really good auth management. I personally consider it a gigantic mistake in 90% of orgs to outsource auth to external parties.

The ability for experienced web devs to just hit the ground running and have 10 basic CRUDs running in a single day because they don't have to deal with this needless complexity is simply amazing for small businesses.
