I was a developer for Carrier apps. It was by far the best mobile developer experience by a landslide.

Really staked my career on it because of that. Whoops.

Wasn't until react launched that I felt there was finally a better system for frontend development.

Leans too far into disposable culture. Even a solid steel knife and a cheap electric sharpener will last longer.

And you can sharpen all your paring knives etc.

really amazing read thank you.

railroad maintenance is also incredibly expensive.

Especially compared to when you can offload the road maintenance to the state / rest of the population.

I agree... but also that computer in our pocket has our entire life wrapped in it.

The desktop has some mitigations against this. PWNing your mobile device could completely wreck you in a lot of ways.

I switched from android to iphone because someone 0-day'd me. I'm not saying it can't happen on iOS or something; just less likely - and mostly because of these restrictions.

I use honey view for reading comics etc. It can handle this.

Old school acdsee would have been fine too.

I think it's all the pixel processing on the modern image viewers (or they're just using system web views that isn't 100% just a straight render).

I suspect that the more native renderers are doing some extra magic here. Or just being significantly more OK with using up all your ram.

Oddly enough Waymo does a solid job of avoiding those.

counter point; as a gamer I don't want to waste even a penny on a built in microphone on my laptop -> maybe nice to have as a last resort; but even then I could just discord on my phone.

I just want a heatset aux port and I'm GTG. I want my money put into the GPU/CPU/Display/Keyboard.

Now my macbook pro for work? Yeah; high expectations there for AV quality in terms of joining meetings etc.

And their efficiency plummets starting at 40F and below.

Redis is probably one of the most well written pieces of software I’ve ever looked at.

The source code is magnificent.

I think there’s a huge argument here for what their research inspired others to do as well.

Just the small work they did on supporting mice so early on (third system to integrate a mouse?) was pretty massive for changing the way we interact and deal with computers.

I know the mouse concept is in “the mother of all demos” but actually first principle integration of the mouse into the system probably belongs to PARC.

It’s not enough dosing to treat bipolar.

You have to dose relatively high in order to have an effect. You’re disrupting your neural sodium-potassium pumps with it.

But it’s still pretty cheap. Hard to charge a lot for a fairly abundant element.

Using and then programming my own mods for EV is what got me into programming.

Really thankful for that game.

masters of orion was fantastic!

MoO 2 is considered the best, III was a bit odd, the new one isn't bad apparently, gonna try it out.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Misguided probably...

"They certainly did not advise putting deli containers in the microwave or dishwasher. Warner puts it simply: “The more you reuse them, the more they would be likely to leach chemicals because of the repeated washing and exposure to acidic things and soap, and scouring them in cycles. "

tl;dr -> if you care about your health with regards to plastic ingestion, just use glass or metal.

From what I understand websockets are great until you have to load balance them. And then you learn why they aren’t so great.

You’d probably want to do it every 29 seconds in case a ping fails to send/deliver.

Your body is also not designed to lose weight. And will quickly adapt to the reduced calorie count and halt weight loss.

I’ve done a lot of self work in this area and honestly glp-1 drugs and metformin provide a pretty serious ability to make weight loss manageable.

Intermittent fasting is also an effective way to deal with insulin sensitivity but it does involve a large lifestyle switch.

Meebo was a lifesaver in college where I could log in via school computers and talk to my friends before my parents got me a cellphone lol.

It was a long long time again.

Good memories.

pidgin and adium were my dream apps for a long time.

Yeah. That really doesn’t need to be from the store.

I really hate going through the Apple Store to download Xcode. We all know how to download software. I’d rather go through a dev portal than a consumer portal.

YMMV

I have a close friend that worked on the mars rover.

He uses me as a reference.

As soon as they start being like “can he use the latest android libraries and techniques” or some crap. I just shoot back: “The man has code on another planet, he’s more than capable of picking up anything”

They shut up so fast lol

"Astronomer Frank Drake created a formula to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way. Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan modified the equation to calculate the odds that Earth was the first intelligent life in the universe. They concluded that the odds of Earth being the first are less than one in 10 billion trillion, which suggests that other intelligent species have likely evolved."

1 in 10 billion trillion is some pretty serious odds.

It does get more complicated if we factor in life happening quickly enough without an extinction event.

But after looking at images like this there is just NO WAY we are the only ones.

I think it depends on a lot of factors.

I think the biggest issue would be the most "successful" VCs aka the ones that make the most money, have the most money to invest in other companies.

If they can make the most return on their investment by fucking over customers than they would have a greater impact.

I suppose if we had the ability to "pierce the VC veil" we could see who the main VCs are and choose weather or not to use a product based on their track record.

the united states stopped investing in them because they're more of a near-peer type weapon.

They are absolutely devastating to columns of tanks. And they help control the "z-axis" the the united states military is dependent on.

Helicopters give you the ability to have air "presence" and keep situations in check with low-peer adversaries. When you start bringing in MANPADS or stingers the game changes.

Oddly enough things like the US Javelin anti tank system and the british NLAW are making tanks relatively obsolete as well.

I suspect attack helicopters with some sort of very small automated phalanx system (directed energy weapon? net launcher?) to destroy drones would be incredibly effective still.

The Apache is still an effective platform for delivering a shit ton of ordnance down range from out of no where and then skidaddling.

Here are some key events in Germany's nuclear phase-out: 1998 A coalition government includes the phasing out of nuclear power in its policy

(this was later un-done in 2009 and then redone in 2011 which is the cause of confusion).

IE. Germany got INCREDIBLY lucky that China went hard into renewables and dropped the price of them dramatically. Because they did basically replace or plan to replace all the nuclear plants with coal plants.

LED backlight might. If no backlight probably fine.

I've been using this for years since uTorrent went to shit. I can't recommend it enough.

The real problem here is that all the devices they used to sell got replaced by cellphones pretty quickly.

So what choice did they have to sell the item that replaced most of the store?

Prague is a really good example of a major European city that was relatively untouched in the war. And it shows. Lots and LOTS of historical buildings and a very "old European" feel through a lot of the city.

It's quite beautiful.

Location:San Francisco Remote: Yes, or in office, either is good.

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, AWS, Azure, React, Next.js, C#

Contract A-OK, but would love to work on a team serious about client side development, testing, and infra.
