The log scale is nice to compare decades. Wether it's inflation-adjusted or not isn't too important but it's still a factor of 10, which would show in a linear recent graph. The fact that we're comparing GBs instead of the average RAM stick shows how much the price has decreased per GB rather than per unit (much smaller decrease).

But a linear graph that represents only the last decade and where the bottom is 0 (not the min value) would tell a different story, but I guess we already know that story because we're living it.

With Visual Studio and Photino, after some tweaking I managed to publish everything in a single .exe file. In Debug mode it produces more files to have source maps that work well. There's no hot-reload but at least it works well.

The Photino app is 18 Mb and it's a real app not a hello world. I'm not sure how much RAM it used since maybe it uses a secondary process (edge webview).

I tried deno desktop with the minimal js file to see if I can avoid relying on VS and C# but it's really bad currently, at least on Windows.

Both the webview and the cef backend produce multiple files and are we supposed to launch a .bat file? It opens a terminal Window (what the hell?) and a UI that doesn't even work. I got to see the Hello message in cef mode but the unicode emoticon doesn't work.

Compared to current computers, the ones from 10 years ago are not that different, especially with all the software updates, unless you want an edgy graphics card or Apple processor. In terms of durability I guess the battery is the less durable part but the rest should be fine if handled with care

Granny says one can't benefit from the experience of others. Not entirely accurate but she has a point.

Some "obvious" things come with experience, sometimes it's the opposite: beginner's luck.

Even for a math teacher the math isn't the hard part of the job.

Someone I know rented a flat in Draguignan to a "friend" of a "friend". After some time he stopped paying the rent and bought alcohol instead. It was a tiny rent but it lasted for a long time. She didn't have a mortgage on it but still I don't think I would be that patient as a landlord.

I would need my family be able to live on one salary to feel safe expanding the family, or have close family that can help us.

To remove the future from the equation, the current situation at least must be able to handle it nicely.

It is frustrating to not be able to predict the future. How can you get married, have children, get a 25 year mortgage on a house, buy a car for comfort even though you don't absolutely need it? Even if you do consider buying a home, how do you know it's worth anything if you can't predict this particular place's future situation? Some countries tax enough to make the risk of buying quite high.

A leap of faith is required and sometimes things don't happen the way we expect but it's better than aiming for nothing.

Are we still talking about Facebook?

Using a very lightweight lock for the frame and ideally having a saddle and wheels that can't come off without tools would change things economically, especially if the bike is cheap but good enough.

The issue is having to rely on luck and the fact that humans are risk and loss aversive even when the risk is worth it.

The Playstation store subscriptions have different tiers and within each tier different prices depending on the number of months.

These psychological tricks don't need to work every time (or on everyone) to be effective.

Maybe you should try Paypal next time, if allowed by the seller

It renders really well! Sad not to see the Ferrari Luce though.

I like scripting so I like having a <div id=root> and then do everything in JS. No need for Typescript or React, innerHTML=`...` works fine. For a serious project, React and Typescript make sense but it can still be used wrong. The default Laravel project that's generated when choosing React looks really bad to me. Too many files and comments and tests. It's over-engineered.

Outside of social media, I never saw a slop grenade except in places where it already existed without AI, like SAV responses or other scripted marketing/HR stuff.

Even a real person calling me on my phone to talk 5min about its company without allowing me to interrupt feels like a kind of grenade. Obviously I could interrupt the impolite way but that's beside the point.

Talking about a bigger scale may be confusing because some of the information AI can train on comes from niches.

I wouldn't mind if an AI trained on old Disney movies (or new ones for that matter), but exploiting niches (like local newspapers) seems bad.

I've worked 10+ years as a developer in France where salaries weren't too high to begin with, but I certainly noticed the added competition as it was harder to find a job. I stopped "fighting" for a high-paying role so my experience didn't provide net gains but it still protected me from inflation. The net "gains" rather came from spending less by moving from a rent to a mortage and then making it smaller.

I'm OK with this now, it is what it is, but these years weren't smooth as there were ups and downs and a down after an up can be stressful if you're not ready for it.

IME Ruby is really good for working alone on tiny projects without an IDE (trying to get more than syntax highlighting causes problems). Sometimes I write single-file scripts or even just use interactive Ruby.

He should be ashamed. Why did (does) he see the punishment for the 7th octobor attack as a genocide but the 7th octobor attack itself as not-an-issue? (not an attempted genocide)

The law protects people up to a point. Collaborating with the enemy is an issue especially if you're not a confirmed citizen.

It's not clear what constitutes a hijacking and how they are going to detect it. It may be OK to override the button as long as it's used in the intended way which is to go back. In a single-page application it may not trigger a navigation event.

IMO the walled garden doesn't have to be the employee's computer but centralized servers holding the data, intranet services, etc.

It's hard to see how the US benefits because the US is geographically very far away from this region but I don't think it was an expensive war: short duration, mostly just an air campaign. IMO Trump did this to send a message to the world.

Gulf countries and Israel should feel much better though, despite the losses, knowing that Iran's capacity is now limited to terrorist-like harassment. This is not the end however as the US, Israel and hopefully other countries should continue to monitor Iran closely.

as long as there's no leak interrupting a promise should be good for performance overall, not necessarily for the front-end but for the whole chain.

Is "not paying" effectively the same thing as unsubscribing?

I guess they could keep providing you the service and keep track of the debt you "owe" them. Once it becomes high enough they would find ways to claim the money.

They didn't want to bother with EU's General Data Protection Regulation. Its a local newspaper.

Managers are expected to say that we should be productive yet they're responsible for the framework which slows down everyone and it's quite clear that they're perfectly fine with this framework. I'm not saying it's good or bad because it's complicated.

It still bothers me that it's banned in France, as many types of bets are. It's clear that nobody should risk money they can't afford to lose because that's what causes people to panic and behave in unpredictable ways. There should be ways to limit usage instead of a full ban or full authorization.
