@lupyuen Sony is annoucing similar statements for years now. Fact is that Sony improves the sensor chips for smartphones every year. But it is also fact that Sony is the biggest manufacturer of sensor chips for DSLR. So, when the smaller chips outperform the bigger chips, it is a management decision and has nothing to do with the underlying physics.

I've just uploaded this thread to: adrian.geek.nz/docs/computing#
The other thread is covered by what I have already published at: adrian.geek.nz/haskell_docs/fu

Tomorrow I'll discuss the Lens Haskell accessors/traversal framework & discuss how I'd add FLAC streaming to my hypothetical parsing hardware designed for reimplementing Rhapsode upon.

Then start studying Daala videoformat & discuss the challenges of I/O!

It's not just the 1990s Distributed Objects people being so loud and aggressive and moneyed-up and preachy

It's not just that their tech was terrible and dangerous and caused billions in security damage

It's not just that the industry changed its mind about something it was so passionately furious scorched-earth in favour of

*It's the never admitting any fault* that gets me.

The computing industry often acts like an abusive gaslighting bully, and that behaviour is still going on today.

The thing that annoys me about the failure of distributed objects as a programming paradigm is that,

in the 1990s, you could not go anywhere in computing without being utterly hammered by the message that Objects and especially Distributed Objects were The Future Here Now, this was it, Programming was Solved Forever, if you didn't Get It you were just Wrong

and we just sorta slid from there into "actually distributed objects are terrible never use them"

but never acknowledging that change.
