FTA: "Avakian co-founded the startup with former Walgreens CEO Greg Wasson, who helped secure the deal with his old employer."

The article also mentions that, under Wasson, Walgreens invested millions in Theranos.

Great track record there.
Interesting. I understand he wasn't satisfied with the introductory narrative and other non-cinematic means of storytelling. But I love how the movie focuses on inner dialog to approach the novel and how decidedly non-techie, for sci-fi of all things, the movie was at the time, believably telling the story of a post-tech society that had room for style and decadence. And the Dune remake pays tribute to it.

I was also in awe how time travel was depicted by music; might help that the cheesy guild navigator scene operating the spacecraft wasn't shown (or was it? I didn't notice it when I first viewed it, and I like to think that's one of those scenes David Lynch would've rather left out).
They don't behave much like a particular "culture" when they are very young, though, do they?

I think this is one of those moments where the phrase "don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened" feels appropriate given his rich body of work.
Since the post is about the benefits of react, I'm sure if requests were involved they would mention it.

Also, even if it was involved, 200ms for round-trip and DB queries is complete bonkers. Most round-trips don't take more than 100ms, and if you're taking 200ms for a DB query on an app with millions of users, you're screwed. Most queries should take max 20-30ms, with some outliers in places where optimization is hard taking up to 80ms.

One of the most interesting parts of Pompeii for me was seeing the area where they've restored a vineyard, to the point of planting the rows of vines in the exact spots that held vines 2000 years ago.
While large areas of the city consists of ruins of buildings that you kind of have to infer the layout of from the floorplans, the vineyard was the one of the spots where I most felt like I was looking back in time, and seeing the spot more-or-less as it would have looked in 79CE.
The current deal is not identical to the May 27th deal, and is worse for Israel. That's why publications across the internet are saying that Israel has been forced into this deal, by Trump.
You’d be surprised! Everywhere I’ve worked, academic or industry, typically writes their own simulation software. Sometimes it’s entirely handwritten (i.e., end-to-end, preprocessing to simulation to evaluation), sometimes it’ll leverage a pre-existing open source package. I imagine this will become more and more common if, for no other reason, you can’t back-propagate an OpticStudio project and open source automatic differentiation packages are unbeatable.

Honestly, it's a milquetoast take. The only advantages of the Switch at this point are Nintendo exclusives and better support.

There are some rough edges with the Steam Deck, but it's a bit odd to frame the Switch as "ready for mass consumption" when it lacks access to Steam, something every other handheld has, and consumers expect in 2025.
IP certs improve a niche but interesting use case for me. I run a domain registrar that implements a simple OAuth2 protocol[0] for delegating domains/subdomains. I also have an open source tunneling tool called boringproxy that implements the client side of this protocol[1].

boringproxy needs to provide a callback redirect_uri to the oauth server in order to retrieve it's token, which it can then use for setting DNS records. However, it can't provide an HTTPS endpoint until it can set up those DNS records and get a cert. Chicken/egg. Currently the spec requires the server to implement a `GET /temp-domain` endpoint which creates a DNS record like 157-245-231-242.example.com which points at the client's IP. This lets boringproxy bootstrap a secure OAuth2 callback endpoint.

IP certs would remove an entire step from this process.

This works perfectly fine for me, both in the Rails and the Adonis projects. In both cases using Vite. Sounds to me like a misconfiguration somewhere.

>Having to add custom code to for flash, their special form handling, and other Inertia specific parterns that only I really understood made it difficult for some collaborators. I don't remember the specific of the form handling either but from what I remember it would have been difficult to instrument client-side validation such as react-hook-form as well.

How's that "custom code" for flash worse than having to add custom code for routing, authentication, sessions, validation, etc?.

> It is annoying. They are pushing people towards Remix as well, which I have tried and prefer to avoid unless I absolutely must have SSR. But their docs for older versions are still around so you can stick to what you like.

Ha! bingo!... you're like half a year late on this. Remix is not the thing they push for anymore. It's having a "nap" they said. Now you're supposed to be using react router in "framework mode". This is exactly what we're talking about here.
The last time I got one of those lazy ChatGPT responses I wanted to just ban the person on the spot if I had moderator privileges. Just pages of dreck that looked like detailed information but was totally useless and a waste of time. I don't have a problem if people use ChatGPT and find it helpful, but it's hugely disrespectful to just copy and paste its output to other people without even a cursory review of it first.

Maybe they intend for it to speed up/start implementation of federal agencies and regulations. The intent is to exert control over an emerging market while it’s still comprised of cooperative participants. Regulators want to define the regulatory frameworks rather than relying on self-policing before it’s “too late.”

Let’s see if this survives the next administration. Normally I’d be skeptical, but Musk has openly advocated about the “dangers” of AI and will likely embrace attempts to regulate it, especially since he’s in a position to benefit from the regulatory capture. In fact he’s doubly well-placed to take advantage of it. Regardless of his politics, xAI is a market leader and would already be naturally predisposed to participate in regulatory capture. But now he also enjoys unprecedented influence over policymaking (Mar a Lago) and regulatory reform (DOGE). It’s hard to see how he wouldn’t capitalize on that position.

While these explanations are plausible, certain other things I've encountered make me believe that deeper reasons underlie even these reasons. When I lived in the UK in 2017 as a foreigner, all applications for a driving licence as a foreigner on a T2-ICT visa had to be sent over for a couple of weeks and you had to include your passport and Biometric Residence Permit and everything. By comparison, I was able to get my driving licence at the California DMV pretty easily even as a foreigner and my passport and so on were photocopied and not retained. This drastic difference in service ability between the DVLA and a notoriously disliked American government service lead me to believe that the proximal technical causes for this are downstream from organizational choices for how to deliver service.
Indeed, as with all of these examples exceptions will apply and, it's a good idea to check the log before taking any such action. I believe your example also depends on exactly how many commits you've made that need to be moved. In any case, it depends on me remembering exactly what `~` signifies.
I was just showing my team this article. We'd start getting warning alerts if our P75 page load times reached 500ms. I wonder if we're measuring load times differently.
Thoughts:

1) References to Java on device and "lack of OTA" and the importance of "iTunes" indicated the presenters had little understanding of the possibility of the App Store which was a seismic shift in the industry that was apparently not foreseen.

2) They noticed some important missing features (3G, OTA updates, etc) but all of them were addressed with the next version (3G).

3) They were panicking about "iPhone mini" and thought it would be a feature reduction (like iPod interface) but in the end Apple just cannibalized its own profits and just lower the price on the full-featured 3G.
I briefly clicked around and haven't read everything yet, but from a first impression, this looks pretty good.

Sadly it looks like the "Process" heading is just a stub, which is a bummer because that's one of the things I'm most looking forward to improving, and I'm guessing that's true for many. What I've found is that in my technical writing, often I just start writing and at some point the document becomes badly organized in a subtle way that's difficult for me to see, but then I do a big rewrite of sorts and it's much better the second time around.

Yes, but unlike other bad stuff, like homicides, this issue isn’t homogeneously distributed over the world. It’s disproportionately concentrated to a small number of countries and regions, that for various reasons and to various degrees tacitly condone it.

> I appreciate your attempting to reconcile different anecdotal experiences. In the spirit of objectivity however, I would insist that big businesses are not breaking the law.

Take a look at the many GDPR violation complaints which noyb.eu has filed against big businesses, almost all of which they eventually win in court. Yes, many big businesses are in fact breaking the law in this regard.

> I think here we've shifted the problem to dark patterns. The problem though is with the popups at all, because even when they are compliant, they are no less annoying, just slightly more clear.

The truly compliant ones are far less annoying. They all generally need only a single click to refuse consent, and they are also easy enough to ignore while using the site without ever responding to the banner at all.

> They probably shouldn't have claimed global jurisdiction then. Since that's a big part of what has resulted in so many poorly done cookie banners.

It's also essential to actually achieve the goal of protecting the data of people in the EU, much of which is done by companies which are based outside the EU. Do you not see the big truck-sized loopholes which would exist without that? All they would then have to do is change the website's contracting legal entity to a foreign partner or parent company and then they could refuse data subject access requests, track without consent, and so on if the jurisdiction provisions in Article 3 were as narrow as you're advocating.

Oh, the flashbacks.. (pun intended). Same here. Every new flash release, download, extract, rename to have a version number, copy to "folder of last 10-15 released flash .so files", symlink, restart browser and hope it works.

I think it got to be so common that firefox supported reloading the library without restarting the browser if you changed the symlink and opened the "about:plugins" page.

And then they started releasing both 32-bit and 64-bit versions...
You don't need a web server, for small stuff "php -S 8000" runs it for you.
How so? Can it produce a sprite sheet with a believable 'walk cycle' for a 2D character? Can it produce a rigged 3D model?

As usual, it seems like we're maybe _almost_ there (if you can generate video, like with OpenAI's Sora, you could probably get a walking animation for a character, and I've seen proof-of-concepts which produce not-rigged 3D models), but it seems like AI can't do a lot of things that you would want for game development.

The one thing it _is_ really "good" (emphasis on the quotes) at is generating static 2D assets like character portraits, HUDs, item/skill icons, etc. Unity's asset store is now full of gen-AI stuff like this (lots of packs of 1,000 spell icons, which are all basically variations of a 'fireball', except maybe this time it's green, etc).

I think you’re overthinking this, e.g., Zemax’s optimization isn’t that different than the ray-tracing presented in this book. The sophistication truly comes from the users.
The former (terminating lines) needs more tracks/platforms at the station, because turning the train around takes more time than stopping and continuing (through running) and turning around at the end of the line.

> You've yet to contribute good ideas or substantial new information to our discussion. Your behavior is making our group worse, and ironically if we were to follow your advice here we'd have to throw you out.

Do you really believe this? I flagged your comment, because I'm worried that you are trying to convince people by building an ethos (and tearing down others' ethos) instead of appealing to logic. Your writing is very good, but there isn't much substance to it. For example, you say

> Expecting children to be responsible for their own actions to this degree is unrealistic

but don't substantiate why it is unrealistic. I've found that when people disagree (in America) there are usually layers of rhetoric that have been built around the issue, so much so that it can be hard to dig down to the crux of the issue and actually resolve the disagreement. This is why I'm worried about how you're writing: it seems to be adding layers instead of removing them. (EDIT: Note, I don't think you are doing this intentionally.)

Now, I do think I have been adding to the discussion. For example:

- I proposed we raise salaries by 10x and fire everyone to balance the budget.

- I gave an anecdote showing that even top-tier public schools have anti-learning cultures.

- I've pointed out that the "for whom" is important when discussing what is good or bad.

"You can't build dense buildings on a mountain side"

What are you talking about?!? Downtown San Francisco has easily 4x the density of the area and it's built on mountains. Italy has dense villages on the sides of mountains all over the place. The idea that nobody can build density in 2025 because of some type of geological feature is just ridiculous, self-serving, nothing should change ever talk.

No, the carrier leverage did not come from network policy, it came from sales-channel. That is to say, in those days one way or another every device passed through a carrier's hands before reaching the customer. So carriers controlled pricing, and to a large degree, marketing. If they didn't like your device they would refuse to sell it and then you were stuck.

Unlike RIM or Palm, Apple could realistically choose not to sell their device at all, or at least not sell it for a while, and so they were able to break the carrier oligopsony. It also didn't hurt that Steve Jobs was, well, Steve Jobs. A one-of-one business negotiator.

Why not do the same with Amtrak's reports?

From a European perspective a 15-22 minute dwell time sounds ludicrous. My local train station is pretty large and designed around through trains, and a 7-minute followup between departures (so between train 1 departing on track X to train 2 departing on track X) is routine here.

If it can be done over here, what makes Penn Station so special that they need 3x as much time? Why can't Amtrak do what other railway companies have been doing for years? Amtrak is already lying about other countries using headway-based scheduling, so can they really be trusted about the rest?

I have no idea if this ETA article is 100% trustworthy, but Amtrak definitely isn't.

That's an option.

Aircraft with disabled flight controls have occasionally steered / maneuvered utilising variable engine thrust alone. A notable instance is UA 232 (1989), Denver Stapleton to Chicago O'Hare, which crashed on landing at Sioux City, Iowa. Despite a nearly completely disabled aircraft and a violent landing, there were 184 survivors of 296 souls, including the pilot Alfred Clair Haynes (he died in 2019, aged 87).

The aircraft, a DC-10, suffered an uncontained fan failure which severed all three hydraulic control systems, disabling virtually all flight control surfaces (elevators, ailerons, rudder), and the pilots (with assistance from a dead-heading pilot/instructor passenger) controlled both horizontal and vertical orientation using engine thrust alone.

I've heard and read numerous times that in simulations of the incident afterwards few or no pilots managed to land the plane. Haynes was an absolute master pilot.
