It seems like it, making VMware Fusion and Workstation free seems to fit with that strategy.

A bit of nostalgia: my first VMware product was VMware Express for Linux. It was a stripped down version of Workstation (probably 2.0?) that could only run Windows 95/98:

Does anyone remember Win4Lin 9x (based on SCO Merge)?
Yeah that's been around for a while - I used node-canvas to generate frames to render to mp4 for my HTML canvas animation site:

https://www.superanimo.com

Looks like it would have been a lot easier if this existed back then. (haven't worked on the site for 5+ years)
It's just been released a few days ago, and already broken links and OOS / lack of pre-ordering, extra for shipping, broken images on the product details page etc. Not a good look!
Why don't they just release a basic GPU with 128GB RAM and eat NVidia's local generative AI lunch? The networking effect of all devs porting their LLMs etc. to that card would instantly put them as a major CUDA threat. But beancounters running the company would never get such an idea...

> My only issue with Go is getting the old bootstrap C version compiled for a new port

Genuinely curious — how often have you had to do that? What platforms are you running that Node has binaries for but Go doesn't?

I've been writing Go for 12 years and it's never taken more than a couple minutes to download and install the latest version.
I agree that any individual piece is not guaranteed to be laundering, but the market as a whole is definitely pushed upwards by more factors than people's desire for historical artifacts or decoration.

In any case, in the true upper end of the market, most of these auctions are publicized but the buyers are behind many layers of indirection.
Yep and most of these large industry leaders are dying not because of the engineers but the quality of the management orchestrating the success and failures of the engineers rather than letting them work their magic.
You can also do things like dual licensing.

GPL or Affero GPL plus proprietary license. Of course this puts off outside contributors so not if you want a "bazaar" development mode—but people complaining about this are usually not doing so.

Canvas is one of the easiest browser APIs to implement because most of it maps 1:1 to PostScript-style 2D APIs.

It was created by Apple as a wrapper for CoreGraphics back around Mac OS X Tiger 10.4. (IIRC, Canvas even debuted in Apple's Dashboard widgets rather than Safari? I'm not 100% sure.)

I remember writing my own Canvas implementation around 2008-2009 using JavaScriptCore and CoreGraphics. It took maybe two days. I used it for a video application where JS plugins needed to render 2D graphics but I couldn't provide a browser engine because that would have been too slow and unpredictable for render functions that get called in the video render loop.
Ryzen 2000 series processors don't support AMD's "Smart Access Memory" which is pretty much resizable BAR. That's 2018.

If you message my instagram account it will try to match you with other people messaging it. It works by comparing conversations one by one with chatgpt until a match is found. Not very efficient of course but I think I can get better results than a search. And if you can match with a certain quality, I think you can have a kind of recommendation-only social network where you don’t have to broadcast to a bunch of people to get connected.

Would love to hear about similar projects, I’m interested in any kind of “multiplayer” AI, where AI is a kind of mediator. Also open to collaborating! https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliblock
> Why is bringing up the minority use case helpful in these discussions?

It was presented as a challenge to the status quo. As you point out, a majority of developers don't ever think twice about including everything and the kitchen sink. The idea that you don't have to do that may not be novel information to you, but is to a large number of developers. If they don't hear it here, where are they going to hear it?

Well in this case it's not just "one guys collection", many many people donated priceless items to the museum; those items were then unceremoniously auctioned off for money by the billionaire descendants of Paul Allen. Which makes the whole thing much more disgusting in my opinion.

An even easier method, which I was taught is interval training. The jaws theme is a minor second. Do re mi starts with a major second, and so on. Interval training is easier, imo, and would then allow you to memorize fewer songs with absolute notes.

Parenthesis are not really optional, they're just used differently than other languages. Other languages use parenthesis for function application and grouping, in Haskell it's just grouping.

wordsPerLine = filter (>0) . map (length . words) . lines

Funnily enough, parenthesis are actually optional in Elixir, although it's a warning to use pipe syntax without them. The following is valid in both Haskell and Elixer:

length [1,2,3]
No parameter counts?
But here's the thing.

It doesn't matter!

If I'm building a personal project, I don't have the same time to curate a full ecosystem stack and nobody in the react system is maintaining those for applications that are put to the side for weeks or months at a time.

As for me, I just restarted a personal project on rails because of its batteries included mentality - it means I can limit the number of dependencies, and they have gotten very good at migration paths and deprecations.

The problem with that claim is how tight the correlation is between low tips and poor performance.
Postgres compatibility depends a bit on what you rely on.
This doesn't appear to be postgres under the hood, more wire-compatible.

>Aurora DSQL is PostgreSQL compatible, which means that it provides identical behavior for most supported features, identical query results for all SQL features, and supports many popular PostgreSQL drivers and tools with minor configuration changes. Supported SQL expressions return identical data in query results, including sort order, scale and precision for numeric operations, and equivalence for string operations. With a few documented exceptions, such as synchronous replication, no-lock concurrency control, and asynchronous DDL execution, Aurora DSQL behaves comparably to PostgreSQL.

Aurora DSQL supports core relational features like ACID transactions, secondary indexes, joins, insert, and updates. See Supported SQL expressions for an overview of supported SQL features.

Aurora DSQL doesn't support all PostgreSQL features. For more information, see Unsupported PostgreSQL features.

Just having to go through close not-at-all-rich relatives' ordinary household crap and various beloved (by them) keepsakes and deal with the pain and hassle of that in the wake of their deaths is bad enough. I can't imagine having a whole friggin' museum of electronic doo-dads dumped on me. I expect I'd take one turn through it with the best of intentions, and walk out the exit already dialing up an auction house to take care of it for me.
It's a huge effort to keep large old hardware going. It took a major effort to restore one IBM 1401 at the Computer Museum in Mountain View.

The newest platform is probably POWER10. ReBar is not supported on any POWER platform, most likely including the upcoming POWER11.

Also, I don't think you'll find many mainboards from 2006 supporting it. It may have been standardized in 2006, but a quick online search leads me to think that even on x86 mainboards it didn't become commonly available until at least 2020.
> I'm forced to read someone else's code

My impression is that you're attributing a lot of malice to someone who's lack of actions seemed more ambivalent than anything. It's a bit reductionist perhaps, but isn't it all just buildings and stuff? Would it not be weird to keep all of your collections running in perpetuity after your death, even if people seem to love it? Releasing the items into the world to be part of someone else's collection seems pretty reasonable. After all, if you're going to toss $1bn at something, there are plenty of wildly more impactful things you could do with it, not that he'd have been in a position of needing to pick one thing to spend money on.
laser pointers are supposed to be low power such that they cannot blind anyone. Maybe yours was one of those. Though plenty exist that are too powerful and can blind people so be careful.

> I think part of it comes down to how you define "grown up".

At 16, I defined an adult as someone too old to grow. After four decades as a grown up, my assessment is even more critical. I find adults to be direct cause of ~every human caused problem. That's how I see adults collectively.

Individually, we each start with immature psychological bits. We (hopefully) make expected progress on some of them before dying.

The upshot of that is we are 1) unbalanced and 2) that everyone (including youth) is better than us in some ways that matter.

Founder's Letter: Responsive and the Future of Stream Processing
I don't think this is quite the same idea, and it isn't anywhere near as deeply elaborated, nor given a theoretical basis. Of course no concept on this scale just pops out of the ether fully formed - as I noted elsewhere, the dichotomy (tetrachotomy?) described by the Diataxis model bears a striking similarity to that in Kalb's model of experimental learning. But that's just it - Diataxis could claim that much more strongly as an ancestor than Kaplan-Moss' approach, which is simply proposing that multiple forms of documentation exist and should co-exist to complement each other, without proposing why or how.

Although this actually gets at a frustration I had with Johnson's essay. There's a section that presents research and examines the VSK model and Kalb's model, and in both cases finds: a) they're wrong, in the sense that they hypothesize different kinds of learners that don't exist; and b) they're useful, in the sense that they describe different kinds of stimuli that should exist in a learning environment. Not because they serve the needs of different students, but because they serve the needs to students at different times or in different conditions.

But instead of applying those lessons, Johnson basically uses the findings about VSK to dismiss critics, and spends dozens of pages re-deriving an approximation of Diataxis theory which would have flowed directly from mapping the Kalb model onto forms of technical writing (which, while not quite the same thing as "documentation", is good enough to get to the right conclusions).

It would omit what Johnson calls "lesson plans", but these seem to be basically just the source code for tutorials. And it would omit "textbooks", but I think a lot of these are bad anyway, for many of the same reasons that board game rulebooks are.
No. Most minority investors want fast efficient and informed court processes for disputes. There are already more permissive places to incorporate, like Nevada. But incorporating in Delaware confers a premium in valuation because less sketchy stuff goes on in Delaware.
Yes, I understand that. I'm saying it doesn't read as easily IMO as (modern) NVIDIA/AMD model numbers. Most numbers I deal with are base-10, not base-36.
In this specific case we know who bought it Justin Sun. He's a Hong Kong based cyrptocurrency investor who ate it. So it seems like in this case it was more about getting some press, and probably a bit of distraction against some of the allegations against him.

That sounds like a good idea, until you remember that there is no officially agreed upon markdown spec. For content authors it'd be both fantastic if browsers could just go "you guys go fight it out, we're just gonna go with GitHub flavored markdown" but at the same time for browser makers that's taking a position on something that they have no stake in.

So writing or using someone else's custom element is pretty much your only option here.

Not offended. You're not wrong. I'm upset that my options here were a potential security risk with a difficult/risky workaround vs vastly inferior products. I would have gladly paid more for an American alternative if it existed.
It's kind of like Valgrind and was (is? I'm not sure.) used for finding memory leaks.
For me, my problem with Haskell's syntax is less rooted in the fact that it's in the ML-family. It's more to do with just how horrific complex type aliases can end up being thanks to currying. Imagine we have type aliases that are built up out of function signatures, made up of more aliases of function signatures, and this is a tower of some 20 layers deep. If you're working with types at different levels of this tower of garbage at the same time, you very quickly end up in an associativity hell and the type signatures you have to work with are beyond unhelpful.

Combination of both the flaws of currying as a concept, as well as the complexity of Haskell's type system.

> There's no reason

There definitely is a reason, and it's the same reason this problem exists in the first place: it's hard to measure the value a library or tool generates, whether it's open source or not. How are you going to allocate this tax to projects at scale?

Companies already can barely solve this problem internally, and often fail completely at it. Just imagine how many times you read a comment on HN lamenting the lack of investment in IT infrastructure. The idea that you'll solve it at society scale as a government, for things much more nebulous than even IT infrastructure, is laughable.
Yeah, I think it was type providers.

Thanks for the links and help. That's really excellent.
