Language severs as well. I had a desktop bought around 2015, with 16GB DDR3 RAM. That was quite a lot back to that time. For some reason, I used it for a while, and I needed an isolated develop environment, so I installed Debian server with Qemu/KVM, and assigned 4G RAM to it. It looked okay when starting neovim, taking about a few hundred MB, but when starting `tsc`, especially two or three seperate projects, the RAM was not enough any more. Lua language server also needs a lot of RAM.

I suspect DOM modelling/rendering also has an impact as I've surfed with JS off, using Firefox on an older (mid-aughts) iMac running Linux ... and can't get much past 2--4 tabs before performance becomes absolutely unacceptable.

The same system performs wonderfully with scripts, non-browser based requests (e.g., wget, curl), terminal-mode browsers (usually w3m or lynx), and local applications (mailers, audio ripping / playback, GIMP, word-processing, and of course shell tools, as well as a few occasional games perhaps.

Maybe I am missing something, but what issue were they alluding to?

Yes, databases (anything digital for that matter) are easier to transfer over large physical distances. Why would there be a need to ship or transfer anything in that manner, considering we as earth bound humans have stopped moving around large quantities of gold for purely financial purposes quite some time ago?

Not to shill too hard but was recently in Northern china for a month, mixture of Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities (including cities in major decline [1]).

A lot of folks say China is decades in the future, this is not my belief. They are ahead in some major areas for sure but in other areas they are still a developing nation. China just does it's own thing and doesn't concern itself too much with the whims and concerns of the west.

One thing was abundantly clear however, China does not suffer from financially engineered Baumols disease. It was incredibly refreshing to spend time in a "functioning" society. Housing abundance, cheap EVs / public transport, great services, lively small businesses etc (no abandoned high streets).

If I were to guess this is probably because productivity growth so far has been able to keep up with the expansion of money supply. Where as the west tried to print itself out of structural deflation with a decade of ZIRP/QE. How do you avoid deflation in an aging society? Is it even avoidable? I guess we'll find out [2].

He is explaining a market dynamic, not prescribing a political policy. He's correct: with zero inflation, normal market dynamics means that some jobs become less valuable over time, and others become more valuable. This is natural progress caused by all kinds of factors like scientific advancements. In such an environment, it is very difficult for employers of the now antiquated jobs to cut wages. So they simply cut jobs instead, leading to higher unemployment. Inflation mitigates this effect by effectively giving workers of antiquated jobs pay cuts (in real terms) rather than firing them. What politicians do with this knowledge is a policy choice. You are shooting the messenger.

There are solid reasons to put your browser executable and storage other than on your principle desktop in the first place.

That still leaves the attack-surface of browser-based activities (do you really want your recreational activities sites interacting with your financial services?), but both gives the option for fresh respawns (OS and/or browser) and physical and network isolation of your local storage and data from your browser.

(This presumes hygiene on any browser-based downloads as well, of course.)

In general, the idea that we'd want all our data on a globally-accessible network is seeming increasingly unwise to me over time, given both technical and political developments.

Yeah that was my experience (not the seal clubbing) with my Model X in Europe in 2019. Great for the daily commute, never had to hit a gas station but on longer trips it's more planning. Sales of Teslas definitely increased faster than the charging network expanded, so while I never had to wait in 2019, the situation was different in 2022. Now I'm back at 13mpg and similar bhp. Still have good memories of the Tesla but in the states distances are longer and I just can't haul an RV with an EV. Even small trailers have quite the range impact.

Ahistorical bullshit.

Gold coinage was never really a big thing, because gold was too rare to make gold coins for everyday usage feasible. Pretty much all historical empires used primarily silver coins. The UK pound used to be a literal pound of silver.

uhhh... no, most newborns can't "hide or survive the moment they're born", no matter the species. I'm sure there are a few examples, but I seriously doubt it's the norm.

Many species survive by reproducing en masse, where it takes many (sometimes thousands of) eaten offspring for one to survive to adulthood.

The main issue I see is that the old axiom of supply, following demand has been perverted by advertising, and it is now possible to supply demand for ANYTHING, and largely face no repercussions, as the market is so large, and moving so fast, that concensus amongst end users dissatisfaction cant coaless to the point of financial penalties on the designers and pervayors

This is true for (almost) anywhere in the world. Everybody has a better life _on average_ than 100 years ago.

> It even was an empire, with an emperor and all!

But the fact that your country was the capital of an empire a century ago is a large reason for why it is richer now, and generational wealth was indeed passed on.

This perhaps is visible if you look at countries that used to be subservient to yours, in empire times. Are they not - relatively - still poorer than the former empire capital?
Why not?

> yet the landing page looks outdated.

The current way of thinking is "It looks outdated", then the page is updated to look "modern" and that normally entails removing all relevant bits of information. I was going to attempt to find the Microsoft Exchange landing page, to show you what a modern landing page for a mail server looks like, and how utterly useless that is. Sadly the modernity has hit Microsoft hard and you can now only find the page for hosted Exchange/Microsoft 365 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/exchange/email). Granted the page looks more inline with modern webdesign and it fucking pointless, there's not one bit of useful information.

Fully agreed. I went through many keyboards, from very expensive to very cheap, until I found the one my joints were okay with, and I think it was the lowest height of all. A cheap no-name, straight from Aliexpress. I think it's even lower than yours - hard to measure, but looks like ~4mm from table to top of keys. You can tell from the size of the USB-C port [1].

Since I do not program in Rust, I do not see how it brings any advantage for development.
I've had very similar experiences myself.

For most local applications, or simple over-the-Web fetches via curl, wget, etc., mid-aughts hardware or earlier often suffices.

Amongst my hobbies are occasional large-scale scraping of websites. I'd done a significant amount of this circa 2018-19 on a mid-aughts iMac running Linux. One observation was that fetching content was considerably faster than processing it locally, not in a browser but using the html-xml-utils package on Debian. That is, DOM structures, even when simply parsed and extracted, provide a significant challenge to older hardware.

I had the option of expanding RAM, and of swapping in a solid-state drive, both of which I suspect would have helped markedly (swapping was a major factor in slowness), though how much I'm not sure.

I'll also note as I have for years that this behaviour serves advertisers and merchants as a market segmentation technique. That is, by making sites unusable on older kit, in a world where physical / real-estate based market segmentation isn't possible, is an effective way of selecting for those with discretionary income to buy modern devices. Whom we presume have greater discretionary income / higher conversion rates as well.

(Multiple network round-trip requirements is also a way to penalise those making access from distant locations, as those 100--300 ms delays add up with time, particularly for non-parallelisable fetches.)

I'm not arguing that all site devs have this in mind, but at the level which counts, specifically within major advertisers (Google, Facebook) and merchants (Amazon) this could well be an official policy which, by nature of their positions (ad brokers, browser developers, merchants, hardware suppliers) gets rippled throughout the industry. In the case of Apple, moving people to newer kit is their principle revenue model as well.

Hiring is one of the most critical processes for any company, and AI is rapidly transforming how organizations find and evaluate talent. Many companies now use AI-powered Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to:

Automate resume screening: NLP models analyze resumes and rank candidates.
Conduct AI-driven interviews: Tools like HireVue use facial recognition and voice analysis to assess candidates.
Optimize job descriptions: AI generates job postings that attract the right candidates.
Predict candidate success: Machine learning models forecast job performance based on historical hiring data.
Sounds great, but does AI really improve hiring?

Bias & Ethics: AI models trained on biased data can reinforce discrimination. Amazon famously scrapped its AI hiring tool for penalizing female candidates.
Candidate Experience: Many applicants dislike AI-driven hiring, especially automated interviews and opaque screening criteria.
Accuracy & Trust: Can AI truly predict a candidate's future performance better than experienced recruiters?

What do you think? Have you used AI-driven hiring tools? Do you trust AI to make better hiring decisions than humans?

I worked a few years for German air traffic control and I own a PPL.

From a non-commercial viewpoint, I like to see when people get enthusiastic to make airspace and flying safer.
From a commercial perspective, I agree with others writing here that going into a highly regulated market such as air traffic, is very hard, and I can tell you why I think so.

For example German air traffic control (DFS) publishes tools which are not directly ment for ATCOS https://stanlytrack3.dfs.de/st3/STANLY_Track3.html , so they are already covering part of this market.
Then there are companies already specialised in tapping into the open data of the skies https://www.skysquitter.com/en/home-2/
(Or check https://droniq.de which is specialised in integrating drones into airspace). They are all either governmental or subsidiaries, or not directly involved in air traffic control itself.

I once built a 3D airspace app which I thought could become a commercial product, but I found it is too hard to compete with companies like DFS or Boeing (ForeFlight) and others. (I published the app for free to play around with: https://raphting.dev/confident/)

Saying that, I think I thought a lot about commercialisation of airspace products and my conclusion is that most countries have a good reason to leave air traffic control governmentally owned and continue gatekeeping for new entries. These gates are very well protected, and if it is only with high fees you need to pay to even gain access to data (like when I purchased airspace data from Eurocontrol for the 3D App).

Focusing on training or "post-ops", what I think you plan to do, is probably the more viable direction.
Educate yourself.

Look up the Minsk agreements, that Putin wants to take control of all of Ukraine. And Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. And parts of Finland.

This does not stop with a few towns in Eastern Ukraine, this is existential for many countries of the Free World.
