Agreed that warp is a marketing term, but it is definitely not something that should be called "threads" except in the very loosest sense of the term. A bunch of threads in parallel implies MIMD parallelism- multiple instructions

You make very legitimate point which I appreciate; I agree than in aggregate weather forecasting should be fairly reliable as regards sun and wind. Question though... do we understand the tail risk from volcanos on solar outputs, either nat

I am sympathetic to your argument. I just would like to point out the irony that you want to break up companies to improve our global competitiveness. I seem to recall hearing in the late 90s and early 2000s a theme that the US really nee

Agreed. I have worked at a Fortune 100 firm where its business ran (still runs) off of an ERP sharded into 100 instances, each representing one key facility since the mid-90s. It took extra work in the early days to centralize analytics and

User experience wasn't great. Font quality with lossy codecs generally looked too lousy back when I tried it at various settings. Screensharing unlike videos is very text centric. I'd be willing to do the right kind of lossy but j

I co-built a similar screen sharing app (with a web server seeing traffic in the middle though) many years ago. MPEG isn't a good fit. We tried JPEG but it didn't look great. Version 1 decomposed the screen into regions, looked at

I think a wise secularist may see greater good in less gambling. Not every secularist is a libertarian in their tradeoffs of "what is good" for people. There is usually some reason vices are squashed that is not religious in natur

I agree they effectively ignored the consumer market and died. But it wasn't because they didn't see it coming. It just is, in practice, hard for a billion dollar b2b company to embrace the consumer market even when they recogniz

Are you all shifting over to storing as iceberg-enriched parquet yet and letting it (within, say Athena) manage compaction or thinking about it, or is it not worth it since this new Ray+Parquet thing is working for you?

Agreed. Poor scripting/replay inherently limits the GUI. That said, the best late 90s expression of the core advantage of the GUI over the TUI/CLI is that it demands less of the user: "recognize and click" vs "remem
