You’re mostly correct. However in practice this has failed to materialize. The issue which I think confuses people is the conflation between the python environment of the packaging tool and the environment you should use for your code. Even anaconda python used to make this mistake, if I recall correctly.

> I recall Kubrick being bothered by the heavy censorship and editing by the UK film board, I wonder if we will ever get to see those removed scenes, what, and why they were removed etc.

I don't believe Kubrick had particular problems with the British Board of Film Censors.

The BBFC never censored A Clockwork Orange, for example. They passed it without cuts, though they had seen a pre-print of the first completed half of the movie as was the custom, and had been concerned that it might not get certification. The censor commended the final movie.

Kubrick personally pulled it from distribution in the UK, after they had passed it and it had a limited release.

https://www.bbfc.co.uk/education/case-studies/clockwork-oran...

The BBFC do not and did not edit films. They are not a government body. They did once call themselves censors (the words of the acronym changed in the 80s), but the point of the BBFC was that the film industry was censoring its own work proactively, and maintaining their own certifications, to avoid government doing it. Similar to what the MPA(A) did.

They still sometimes suggest edits that would keep a film within a particular certification.

In the case of Eyes Wide Shut, it wasn't the BBFC that made any decisions to edit and cut that film; Warner Bros themselves did, based on the US classification they were aiming for.

> Kubrick died within a week of the film release, perhaps he knew too much, perhaps not.

Or perhaps, after a stressful filming, editing and production schedule, a 70 year old man had a heart attack in his sleep.
Context: Steve Jobs, as well as Eric Schmidt at Google, and several other high ranking tech execs conspired to illegally fix wages lower by agreeing to not hire each others’ staff.

Billions of dollars were thus stolen from staff by these companies.

> In June 2014, Judge Lucy Koh expressed concern that the settlement would not be a good one for the plaintiffs. Michael Devine, one of the plaintiffs, said the settlement was unjust. In a letter he wrote to the judge he said the settlement represented only one-tenth of the $3 billion in compensation the 64,000 workers could have made if the defendants had not colluded.

The companies got off with barely a slap on the wrist.
I bought a 4K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor a week ago and it connects to the internet & has streaming services on it. By default, it has annoying popups on startup that can't be turned off in the default menus[^1].

Automatic Detection of Students' Engagement During Online Learning
Counterpoint: being useful to a more successful species is a staggeringly effective evolutionary strategy. Nature is chock full of symbiotic relationships and it's a perfectly valid ecological niche. Symbionts exist whether or not the host is capable of feeling bad about it.

By becoming attached to such a successful species as humans, any symbiont species has an extremely good chance of surviving for as long as the host species. Including long after they'd have gone extinct naturally.

Most species that humans like or find useful will eventually end up colonizing entire star systems along with us. Those species will continue to live on in their evolutionary descendants long after the sun exapnds and earth becomes inhospitable.

Personally I call that a successful species.

Or we could just leave the worms alone and let them be hunted to extinction by predators or die out in natural climate or ecological shifts over time. I guess that's nicer than species continuity into galactic time scales.
It's Time to Discard Piketty's Inequality Statistics
It was an insignificant settlement. This agreement was in place at the start of the mobile wars. Apple spent a lot of money suing its competitors instead of spending that money paying engineers to leave its competitors. Immediately following the ruling against the companies, salaries shot up industry-wide, by far more per year than each engineer got from the settlement for multiple years of illegal activity.

What do you think happens to YOUR salary if one big company, or ideally many big companies, have to pay very high salaries?

I'll give you time to study basic micro economics (supply and demand).
I thought the same, kinda sad isn't it? Palm's email to Apple was like a teacher talking to an unruly teen, but not insultingly so.

So what do we learn? Either Karma isn't real, or being a childish bully is the key to success. I'm not sure I like either answer.
In retrospect this seems like a silly concern given the Windows Phone market share and how obvious the solution was:

> and once shared-data plans reach critical mass, Verizon and other companies will have an active incentive to encourage the use of messaging services like Skype. More Web-sent data requires a beefier data allotment, after all.

Wasn't that already the case?! I didn't really follow plans available in the US around 2012-2013, but in East Asia and Europe, making subscribers pay more for bigger and faster data packages on LTE is exactly what every carrier was doing.

Regarding Samsung phones, of course Samsung had a good relationship with carriers and would typically be more willing to bend to their will, for instance by delaying and doing staged rollouts of firmware upgrades. However this isn't the main reason here. Samsung was absolutely dominating the Android market, being pretty much the only player making comfortable profit margins on the hardware. On the other hand, Samsung's leadership understood that there was nothing easier than moving from an Android phone to another, and that eventually a big part of the cake would be eaten by Chinese OEMs. Samsung worked hard on building its own brand of phones with One UI and its predecessors. The leadership absolutely hated the fact Google forced so many apps being preinstalled on certified Android phones. Hence people complaining about the number of duplicate apps seen as bloatware, sometimes rightfully so.

I don't think Samsung was afraid carriers would take offense at something as ubiquitous as OTT messaging. Case in point, I had coworkers working on ChatON, our own version of iMessage/FaceTime. This was a flop obviously, which is a bit sad since I believe Samsung had a real chance to acquire KakaoTalk around that time.

So I'm curious- I can understand why you'd want a fractional CFO or CMO, but what does a fractional CTO even do? In my mind a CTO is either someone who manages multiple teams,or someone who manages a team that does 'de novo' deeply technical work. It's difficult for me to see how either of those would work part time, or really that that their skill set would be applicable to a company that can only afford part of their time. In a small team,why would you hire a fractional CTO as opposed to just making sure your most senior engineer is able to mentor the juniors?
Unfortunately that's not enough to guarantee success. Even the most well run company can still fail to find product market fit, just be at the wrong time, or just get screwed over by external factors or even other internal factors. Conversely, a poorly run company with a toxic culture can succeed despite problems a rank and file employee might see.

If you've joined unicorn X pre-IPO, you've hopefully got a decent amount of pre-IPO options, at which point might I suggest diversifying in case the market doesn't share your confidence in the company.

The ISA leaves something to be desired for "simplest". Simple, sure, but parameters (and unused ones, at that!)? Memory copy instructions? Multiply and no shifts? Addition _and_ subtraction?

Others have mentioned Subleq (Subtract And Branch If Less Than Or Equal To), but there's more useful designs that meet all the design constraints. They state that "It is also not intended to be as simple and elegant as it could possibly be.", but it's called "The Simplest Virtual Computer" - that kind of name is a challenge.

Hell, half of them are going over facts Jobs fucking already knows, including their Siemens patent portfolio. It's a PR release waiting for a lawsuit.

I can't imagine paying six figures for this vehicle. There's nothing aesthetically pleasing about it. It's a "truck" but also somehow more worthless than other modern trucks/bro-dozers on the road today. Have seen a few videos where towing reduces the battery life significantly. In some very cold climates, the vehicle becomes absolutely useless.

Living in a city that absolutely glazes Tesla and their CEO (ie, frequently encounter Teslas), they look even worse in person. A CT owner made the mistake of parking next to the dumpster where I throw my dog's shit, and threw the bag of shit into the trunk. Probably a video out there of this incident.

Idk the rampant pedophilia in the movie certainly rhymes with revelations about Epstein.
We remember the comeback, but we forget that he was kicked out of the company because he nearly ran it into the ground when he was in charge the first time. You can't put all the blame on the CEOs who followed him for failing to clean up the mess he created in the first place any more than you can give him all the credit for the company's performance long after he departed.

Furthermore, he was only brought back with a turnaround plan that was created up in no small part by his financial backers, and the C-suite he arrived with included Tim Cook. I'm convinced Cook's housecleaning on their supply chain and product lines was what actually saved the company. They might've delayed bankruptcy with a hit like the iMac, but only for a short while.
This is clearly gish gallop, but I'll reply.

>The on-disk format was declared stable in 2013

And the mkfs.btrfs tool was labeled stable, and the experimental tag was removed from mkfs.btrfs warnings. It was also mainlined into the stable branch at that point. It wasn't just the on-disk format that was declared stable in 2013.

>It was not a declaration that the filesystem was itself now stable necessarily,

Yes it was, as explained above.

>Furthermore, the "it's been X years!" thing referring to open source projects has to stop.

This isn't some "open source project," this is the operating system that underpins modern computing. It's developed by full time engineers paid by megacorps. It's not some solo developer's side project, not in the slightest.

>If we measure everything based on whether it's as good as what Sun Microsystems was doing in the 2000s, we're going to have a bad time.

Not at all, we're going to have a great time. Great engineering stands the test of time.

>As an example, DTrace is still better than LTTng is right now. I hope that sinks in for everyone.

Did you get ChatGPT to write this? It's clear you have zero experience in the tracing and observability space. eBPF is the next evolution, not LTTng. It's never been and LTTng, LTTng has minuscule usage. I hope you're ignorance is clear for everyone reading this.

>However, OpenZFS is not backed by Sun Microsystems, because Sun Microsystems is dead.

No, it's maintained by dozens of engineers from multiple different companies and governmental orgaizations.

>Now if OpenZFS eats your data, there is no big entity to go to anymore than there is for btrfs.

Wrong, Canonical supports ZFS.

>As far as I know, there's no big entity funding development, improvements, or maintenance.

LLNL (the US government), among others, are funding the development of OpenZFS.

>That suggests that their brand image somewhat depends on the rarity of btrfs bugs in their implementation, but Synology has a somewhat good reputation actually.

No, Synology has a terrible reputation. They removed btrfs functionality from budget models and left customers in the dust: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26800062

Lot of comments observing that Apple is doing much better than Palm these days, but IMO they miss the point.

Steve is dead, and I don’t think he got to take any of that victory money with him.

Palm is dead too, but its investors and employees are doing something else now, and I don’t think they’re generally much worse for the wear. And the time that Palm’s engineers spent there is indelibly better because their boss respected them. On the other hand, I don’t know how many Apple employees got to retire early because of Steve’s management, but I’m not sure their lives, including their time working for Steve, are better overall.

Is String Theory dead? [video]
I want to say it was the NYTimes, "the daily" podcast that did a pretty good job of being even handed when talking about this. If anyone is interested, it should be the Dec 4th one. They brought up the fact that we've tried to do things like this in the past, and that they have all mostly failed, for political reasons.

Cutting government spending is very hard to do. Everyone has special interests they look to protect, and no congress person wants to be the one that stopped funding for their district/state.
I too am hopeful, but I have my doubts.
Palm would have countersued with its superior mobile patents. I'm sure Apple's attorneys pointed this out to Jobs when he went to them after this exchange, which is why he didn't follow through.

pick up your house key, hold it in front of a mirror, look at the key, and the reflection. you should notice the side of key away from mirror is visible, the reflection shows the other side of key .

so the sides of key, and reflection are switched relative to the key.

if you could somhow pluck the reflection from a mirror and try to use it, the left side is right, and right side is left.

when this happens with molecules, there is different parts of the molecules being brought together, leading to alternate interactions, thus different reaction path

Average American probably won't be using it.

This seems to be the hole in Kant's categorical imperative[0] - plenty of useful things fail the test of universality, because there isn't one class, or two classes, but three classes of people: those who find some use for a thing, those who don't and thus don't care, and then those who have no use for the thing but don't like it anyway. And in the past century or so, thanks to the role of mass media, that third class is ruling the world.

And so...

> but the moment regular folks start getting in on the fun and they post a pic of themselves being surveilled on twitter suddenly it's time to shut everything down?

Yes, it is. It's how this has been playing out time and again - once the attention seekers, and people with overactive imagination wrt. dystopias, and maybe the few with some actually reasonable objections join forces, it's better to shut the thing down as soon as possible, to minimize the amount of time your name can be found on the front pages of major newspapers. At that point, there's little hope to talk things out and perhaps rescue the project in some form - outraged public does not do calm or rational, and if you somehow survive the first couple days and the public still cares, you're destined to become a new ball in the political pinball machine. With your name or life on the line, it's usually much easier to cut your losses than to stand on principle, especially for something that's inconsequential in the grander scheme of things.

One by one, we're losing nice things - not as much because they're abused, but mostly because there's always some performative complainers ready to make a scene. We won't be getting nice things back until our cultural immunity catches up, until we inoculate ourselves against the whining.

Let me quote your own words to you: "It still doesn't qualify as aesthetically interesting." and "photos in the article have very little aesthetic value and elicit no contemplative experience" These are your opinions masquerading as universal truths.

The fundamental differences are quite stark.

Vue, Svelte, web components, and vanilla only execute code that is marked as a callback.

Example:

let x = 0
var counter = computed(() => ... )

In this Vue snippet of an SFC, the callback in the computed executes in reaction to some change without invoking the assignment of x (obviously a trivial case here).

DOM + JavaScript is the same

React invokes the entire component function and all calls and allocations in the path of the component function. The mental model is inverted in a sense.

This is one of the reasons React generally performs more poorly in both speed and space.
