The quality of the touchpad combined with the gesture support is a very good experience. The touchpad is very precise (obviously not as precise, but I don’t need that for work), and there’s nothing I struggle to do at all when I’m working with it. If I’m not at my desk with my extra monitors, then I prefer the touchpad. Especially if I’m working across multiple documents/windows where I can swipe between workspaces very easily.

Honestly paying this guy to invent a language mustn't have been that expensive. It's just one extra salary in a show that employs hundreds/thousands of people.

Growth is. Massive growth is only relevant if you want to compete on the largest, global scale.
> I have no idea how not to use it. Right index finger (I'm right handed) moves it round, right thumb presses the keys.

That's completely immaterial to the precision of it, which is why I'm unable to use it: I never managed to aim at something, I take ages to actually reach a button to click on it (either under- or over-shooting it unless I move the cursor extremely slowly) let alone select some characters in the middle of text.

I have that issue on neither trackpad nor mouse, and can use both reliably precisely.
True that a social media network stands to benefit more from network effect than Wikipedia. But, we already have that for-profit social media network with a huge network effect, and are looking for an alternative. I'd appreciate them trying to find better ways to grow fast while providing an alternative to the creepy mess that is Facebook. Building yet another Facebook for a "good" set of investor this time around is not it.

Don't you think it'd be a better idea to use all that engineering prowess to build a fantastic product that people want to use, run it using a non-profit foundation, and make money for the non-profit foundation by doing exactly what they claim to be their plan now - offering enterprise customised solutions?

Saying that you need investor money to grow exponentially because that's the only way our crowd funded social network will work seems unreasonable/ethically unsustainable to me.

Seismic events are many, many orders of magnitude more energetic than a painting being moved around.

Even if you had the technology, all it would take to foil it would be for the copy to move close to the original at any point in time.

(And I have to emphasize here that the point here is not that it would be easy to execute a deception. The point is that no sensible being could possibly care whether or not they have "the original" if they have to resort to such extreme measures to figure it out.)
I know it's not always Occam's razor, but in this case I tend to be the party pooper. This was probably drawn by an adult and now they try to make it a story.

A smaller German city. There are a lot of buildings of that age around, but I suspect most of them have been profoundly renovated. (If you do that they're worth serious money.)

This one seems to have undergone one upgrade (installation of very basic electricity and renovation of some of the water plumbing) in the 50s/60s and that's it. At least that means we can afford it.. The windows and doors are still original as well.

The gold coin seems to be the most secure for me to be honest. If we're looking at monetary stability I'd rather have more than 9 years. Looking at our traditional ways of exchanging money, we have a history of about 6-7000 years, so that's a little more researched I'd suggest.

Honestly looking at the BTC prices right now and in the latest months, I'm seeing a few months of stability for the future followed by either a massive crash or some kind of small increase. Not really worth or secure enough to put my money into.

«Making Openbook a for-profit was a hard choice to make. We check all the non-profits boxes and we love non-profits. We love Wikipedia, the Ghost Foundation, Founders Pledge, Mozilla and many more. However we see the same struggle repeated over and over again. These companies struggle to grow beyond their profitability. These companies struggle to grow to the size and resources needed to compete with for-profit businesses. When we need to grow exponentially, we need to be able to raise the large amounts of money needed to do so. Therefore we are officially a for-profit company. But do note that when we do this, we will make sure the people investing in the company will be people with real interest on the platform, its core values of privacy, security, freedom, openness and its humanitarian nature.» [0]

As a for-profit corporation’s legal operational boundaries end at the financial interests of its shareholders, any corporation-defined “core value” may not and does not benefit from legal guarantees.

While a benefit corporation [1] may allow to balance the interests of shareholders and stakeholders, any form equal to a UK company limited by guarantee with “limited” exemption [2] [Section 60, Section 62] binds, secures a corporation’s objects (or “core values”) to interest-free legal requirements.

For trust to ensue and persist, any “for-benefit” alternative to existing for-profit corporation- or nation state-controlled platforms must state its “core values” as the controlling corporation’s objects.

in terms of getting started, maybe first focus on getting a job that gives you a good opportunity to gain experience in the kind of work you want to do.

one way in might be with some "consulting" / professional services firms -- the ones i have seen do tend to play the game of getting the senior people to win the contract then filling most of the roles with relatively junior inexperienced hard working people who need to grow into the roles... If you end up in such an environment and there's a few experienced colleagues you can learn from, that might be okay. but perhaps with such employers you probably have very little control over which project you end up assigned to, and might end up allocated to a project where you are expected to work hard learning a bunch of legacy technology / manually resolving issues instead of learning how to automate.

another option might be to go in through the "configuration management" type route, as another commenter suggests. e.g. try to get hired for a role based on your sysadmin background, but in an org that's already doing a lot of automation of ops stuff / continuous integration / automated deployment, where there's at least one experienced person you can learn dev skills and get feedback on your programming/scripting from.

if after a couple of years you end up being okay at both sysadmin & dev roles, and actually good at one of them, there should be quite a lot of opportunities for work.

See also the articles about the level of detail in the costumes in Game of Thrones.

There is a lot of attention to detail, probably including a fair bit that doesn't make it on camera, in big budget video/film productions. You could probably cut a lot of it and still have a "pretty good" final product. But being obsessive about detail rather than being content with good enough in all sorts of aspects of production, including the acting, is one of the things that separate competent shows from really good ones.

Thanks for coming back to me! Totality checking sounds exactly like what I was looking for; because your examples of structural and guarded recursion closely match parts of the algorithm I had already figured out through playing around with logical structures.

You've given me a lot to look into and I sincerely appreciate the effort you've put into opening up these fields to me. There's a few concepts you've mentioned that are still a little hazy to me (particularly coinductive types and the "Delayed" concept - which sounds somewhat like a generator function?) but now I know the terminology I can begin to research these topics myself in earnest. I always that find with the sciences, the hardest part of diving into a new field is simply knowing what you're looking for, followed shortly by building an accurate mental model of the concepts. You've helped a great deal with both, so thank you :)

"all these stories and articles"? There are millions of people working in software, the number of interesting war stories just within computer science is (conservatively) in the thousands. A distributed system of blogs is the only efficient way to publish that breadth of material, bearing in mind that each reader's interests are different, you can't curate a feed to suit everyone.

With all due respect, one convenient website aggregating all that material is not a practical idea. It's like asking for one huge magazine to exist which contains everything worth reading about a huge field like CS.

Edit: I mean, it would be convenient, but there's no royal road to finding stuff that's worth reading. https://queue.acm.org is pretty good, for example

I pretty much assume that IF we were all knowing of the state of everything (matter, energy, & anything else that is / could be) and IF we were all knowing of the rules that defined the state transitions that we could predict the future (the state of everything at some observation point)

We will likely never satisfy the above 2 assumptions, but our brains try to do the best they can with their limited sample of data / last gen processors. So sure, we may never predict future states with 100% certainty like above, but definitely with some % > 0

Say there was 1 million statues or 1 million + 2 statues, and you saw 456,892. Would it really be clear to her that you would pass 200,000+ times, even though you both know that you each had over 400,000 statues, respectively?

The answer given should work in this case, since the number of statues doesn't affect the principle of the problem. But obviously it doesn't work. Therefore, I don't see how it should work for the original problem either.

Edit: Or lets put it another way.

Let's say I saw 1,000,012 statues, and the total was 2,000,018, or 2,000,020. Wouldn't you be able to reduce this problem to the original? The number of possible statues that she/I see doesn't change, after all.
Take this with a grain of salt. But I have a friend that is a very bright artist since she was a child. Not this level of skill, but really really close with the chalks. I say that it is 'possible' but unlikely.

> There they answer why their project is not federated, what revenue model they aim for, and why they aren't a non-profit.

No, they don't.

Federation-wise, there's not a single word on federation. They talk about decentralization, not federation. To quote my other comment:

> Instead of "Will I be able to run my own instance?", think: Will I be able to follow an Openbook account from my Mastodon account?

As for the business model, I really need more than "atomic digital units of value" and "our ambitions go way beyond that". The last sentence does tell me something, but that something directly contradicts their stand on decentralization.

As for why they aren't a non-profit, they generalize pretty much every non-profit and say that they "don't grow exponentially" (without defining what they mean), and they mention names that do indeed grow year after year.

At the end, none of those three questions are answered for me.

I agree.

I happen to think that Google, FB & such were founded with a solid ethic. I think Google meant "don't be evil" when they said it. But, the questions come later. Will you increase consumer privacy at the expense of CPCs (and value to advertisers). Will you de-fund some of your blue sky R&D to balance reduced yield on advertising.

Wikipedia is the right model. After all this time, they really are still focused on wikipedia's original goal. I am personally very happy that Wikipedia exists.

The way Wikipedia is supposed to scale, is not by making an amazon-scale wikipedia. It's by doing their job well, and being a prototype/inspiration for others to do other jobs. If Wikipedia was a social network, maybe it would not have "scaled" to also be the world's no. 1 news source. Maybe it would not have become a major IM app. That's not a bad thing. We didn't need Facebook to take over news. We could have gotten our news elsewhere. We didn't need facebook to do IM, same reason.

Wikipedia is not a failure because it didn't scale this way, it is a success for that reason. Being not for profit has let them pass on opportunities for land grabs, in a way that for profits would not have resisted.
