Tangential to the topic, but your assumption there is very wrong. Due to the politicization of the topic and the media reporting, which is frequently equally sensationalistic and inaccurate, many people are extremely interested in climate change yet also know practically nothing about it. Some know less than nothing, again thanks to the media. For instance the recent report about the oceans warming even 60% than thought turns out to be wrong. The paper had a fundamental mathematical error that was detected just hours after publication by a skeptical reader. The authors' new method of measuring the warming there remains, yet now their warming figures are no different than what has already been normally reported. [1][2][3] Many media sites have run articles trying to correct their mistaken reporting, but due to the nature of social media the sensational headline gets shared a billion times, the correct indicating it was unjustified gets shared a few dozen times. So you now end up with individual basing their worldview on false facts, which is rather less than productive.

You didn't referenced anything approaching wholesome food.

Of course there are a few simple compounds which are edible, but most artificial additives are extracted and processed from grown inputs, and this is susceptible to unexpected health problems as happened with exposure to trans fats for decades - now banned.

> we can certainly create a synthetic smoothie with the necessities of life

That is a low bar - being capable at any cost to synthesis a smoothie with 'the necessities of life' including growth? good health? You didnt even reference that.
"link tax" is not actually a tax but something to be paid to the copyright owner. just like we already pay them for reading.

The most likely thing is going to be that Apple is going to be asked to allow police devices to be added to a user's iMessage account without alerting the user (but giving them access to their messages).

The real problem is that the law allows them to ask an individual to become a saboteur and it's unclear if you had a system that was explicitly resilient to such attacks (signed GPLv3 code with a threshold signing scheme with each key owned by people under different jurisdictions) whether you would be forced to dismantle such a system.

I think we'll need to start rethinking threat models.
“The only vaccine that is missing from many state mandates is the rotavirus vaccine.”

- Vaxopedia.org

Anecdotally, when we were vaccinating our kids, rotavirus was presented as optional or not crucial. I don’t remember the precise wording the doctor used, but I recall it was the one we skipped. A big factor in that was our kids were not in any kind of daycare.

I don't think open sourcing it would help much at this point. It's not as if it's impossible to find a Windows phone to use, but the ecosystem is falling apart too.

The biggest problems in my mind for using a Windows phone today are really that what apps there were are going away (which open sourcing the os isn't going to help), and the browser is bad. On Windows phone 8, the browser is bad because the rendering engine of mobile IE isn't very good / workable with modern web; on Windows mobile 10, the browser is bad because Edge frequently delays responding to user input and it's uterly unusable at times. Plus or minus when the browser locks up the phone and the watchdog timer reboots it.

I've always been surprised that cellular tablets didn't experience more marketshare compared to smartphones. No one has exclusively a cellular tablet that I know of, but frankly I'd probably ditch my smartphone for a cellular tablet that I carry around at all times. For me, communication mostly happens by email/text and phone calls have almost entirely been replaced by videocalling, so in the long-run I see myself moving to just a internet-enabled tablet of some kind. I guess the growing ubiquity of WiFi makes it less of an issue for most people
Come on, let's get real - it's their right to find and punish leakers.

Employees don't have the right to leak because they have obliged themselves not to. That's how they got the job. If something conflicts with their morality and it's not internally fixable, they could quit. If it's something illegal, either against law, they should speak up. You can't break your contractual commitment just because you don't like how some product or service works. You're not the owner.

My moral compass tells me to avoid using Google Services as much as I can, and install ad blockers to do my part to prevent them from monetizing data they gather. Also to speak up if I want to.
Actually Perl 6 comes off badly in this comparison. The Haskell expressions are almost always easier to read, understand, reproduce, and overall even shorter.

Nevertheless it shows that Perl 6 can do real functional programming. Even if the syntax looks exceptional sometimes, even for people familiar with Perl 5.
> “Everyone knew it was fake, but because no one had any alternative vision for a different kind of society, they just accepted this sense of total fakeness as normal.”

I don’t think there is a lack of vision out there, see the book Four Futures for example. In the case of the Soviet Union speaking out about things not working was a good way to get punished. Most of us have experienced the same thing in corporate america. Everyone around the cooler says “this is broke” one guy says as much and loses his head.

It seems we are just incapable now of agreeing to collective visions, which require compromise, and supporting each other in making that happen. Something has caused us to become incapable of compromise. Everyone is beaten down by the past century and no longer want to trust each other, or something like that.

Perhaps communication now is just too impossible to allow this to happen. It’s become seemingly much much easier to attack and divide people than bring them together. Hard to see how to change that without some really low level change happening.

That's quite a piece where he simultaneously laments the common sense that leadership is corrupt and everyone knows it, and at the same time dismissively mocks "liberal hysteria" over Russian election interference and their compromising of the president, which is literally the giant glowing core of executive branch corruption in this administration.
Me and my girlfriend been using the Bip for a month now.

We run every day.

The battery life is pretty phenomenal, the step counter and weather bits are handy, the GPS just works, you need the AmazTools app if you want to share your runs to Strava (but it works great), I have an alarm set to shake my wrist every morning at 7am, and if I destroy the watch.. it was all of $70.

The continuous heart rate monitoring is also handy for our gym and zone workouts. I wish it had multiple levels of heart zone alarms, like the TICKR FIT app -- which is amazing for more refined zone training, but it will tell you when you pop out of zone 2 on a run, so it's still useful.

Sleep tracking works great for my girlfriend, doesn't work great for me. So I turned it off and that doesn't bother me.

I think it's a great starter watch, I can see upgrading to the Garmen vivoactive 3 Music, since I'm not very interested in an Apple Watch.
The point is a mix of mineral and monarchical accuracy.

Norway is a significant oil producer and exporter, worthy of mention together with Saudi Arabia in the context of discussing oil producers (potentially) exporting crude oil to the US; not Sweden. Norway was in a (forced) union of kingdoms with Sweden until 1906, so someone referring to Sweden as an oil producer may only be somewhat right if 1906 had not happened. hth
That "screenshot" showing the two linked documents is actually a terrible example.

It might have made sense in the early 1970s when Gerald Salton was doing text retrieval experiments with punchcards and those two pages of text were about what computers could handle.

In real life if you had a page of text you might have bidirectional hyperlinks to 20 or so paragraphs which might be spread out through a book-sized document or perhaps 10 books.

A demo of that user interface produces an entirely different reaction than that mockup. (eg. "When can I buy it?" as opposed to "Isn't that swell?")

Building an entirely new format and server architecture for text almost might have seemed rational in 1970s when we hadn't even settled over ASCII or EBDIC but today if you can't find the Xanalogical structure that is hidden in plain text, HTML and PDF you are blowing smoke.

electron eats so much cpu & memory simply because it's still a web browser, it has to support all those 20 years of HTML/CSS history and it was designed to do so for 10s of tabs, so it has a lot of caches and other things.

and while javascript is certainly one of the worst choices if you care about performance, it's also one of the best choices if you need to iterate really quickly (which I believe is very important in overall, especially for new projects)

I hope there will be lighter electron one day (I'm actually working on something like this already) but it's unlikely that people will start doing UIs in systems languages.

The Swedes and Danes I have met all had excellent English so I suppose it should be possible. But the real question is: Why would you spend years somewhere without learning the local language? Your life will always be limited and learning a language is not that hard.
I second this - but just be aware of the regular license vs. extended license requirement (i.e $20 vs $800 for example). Although if you get the point where you are charging for a product and need an extended license - that may not be a high price to pay for a quality theme you would probably spend 10-100 fold paying someone to create something similar.

I was also going to say HyperCard, or a successor like HyperLook. For a brief moment in the 90s users were able to make their own tools in GUI form and the future of computing was bright. Then the programmers of the world abandoned the idea of enabling users with computing in favor of locking them into stores and subscriptions to line their pockets. Ok so the sales people and Steve Jobs in particular had a lot to do with it too.

Have you seen the subsurface laser engravers that create those 3d acrylic point cloud portrait things? I looked into them while doing some research on this. They basically use a focusing lens to create the hotspot at a point within the block of acrylic. They can do up to 20,000 points per second in a plane by aiming some galvos, and the material is moved slowly to create the 3rd dimension.

The granular material plus binder combinations are essentially unlimited. I even thought of making 3d printed treats by using sugar with water binder, or rice crispies with a food safe binder.

As for the say function, it's also supposed to output text in a more human readable format. It calls the `.gist` of its argument, which you can override in user-defined classes. Take for example the following code snippet from Perl 6 Deep Dive:

class Chemical {
has $.formula;
method gist {
my $output = $!formula;
$output ~~ s:g/(<[0..9]>)/{(0x2080+$0).chr}/;
$output;
}
}

my $chem = Chemical.new(formula => 'Al6O13Si2');
say $chem; # Al₆O₁₃Si₂

#`[
Without overriding the `gist` method:

say $chem; # Chemical.new(formula => 'Al6O13Si2')
]
Goats eating coffee is a very old tale! “The story of Kaldi, the 9th-century Ethiopian goatherd who discovered coffee when he noticed how excited his goats became after eating the beans from a coffee plant, did not appear in writing until 1671 and is probably apocryphal.” [Wikipedia:Coffee]
In Perl 6 this could almost look the same:

for @numbers -> $number {
next unless $number > 10;
next unless $number % 2;
work($number);
}

Although personally, I wouldn't write it like that: I would probably write it as:

for @numbers.grep( { $_ > 10 && $_ % 2 } ) -> $number {
work($number)
}

or use the postfix notation:

work($_) for @numbers.grep( { $_ > 10 && $_ % 2 } );

If you want to spread this out over multiple CPUs and you don't care about the order in which the work is done, you only need to add the `.race` method:

for @numbers.grep( { $_ > 10 && $_ % 2 } ).race -> $number {
work($number)
}

I might follow you to find out where you go for a drink after work so that I can set up a brilliant surprise party for you there, on the other hand someone might follow me so that they can determine where best to murder them.

I think APL wins hands down in being the most concise when it comes to mathematical tasks, but P6 wins at more common scripting tasks such as parsing data. Only Rebol & Red in my opinion have similar constructs to P6's native grammars. Rebol wins at being the quickest way to write short GUI applications that do useful things as it uses its GUI dialect (basically a dsl) to make it really easy....almost unbelievably so (http://www.re-bol.com/rebol.html). I'd say powershell is the most concise way to deal with Windows automation.

So really...all depending on what you mean.

I saw this 2 years ago. Long story short, you need a fiber laser and a driving circuit to do this.

Sure it's 10x the speed, but it's almost 100x the price.

A Creality Ender 3 is around $200. This printer, with fiber laser, is around $15-20k.

And the Ender 3 can't make moves that fast. The Atmega chip is just a 16 MHz chip. You can't generate the steps required even using Klipper firmware (which is a bitbanging firmware that uses your desktop CPU as motion planner). You could generate the steps using one of the ARM based boards, but you'd double your BOM - Smoothieboard and Duet both would be around the $150-$200 but can generate the required steps. The BeagleBone Black can generate upwards of 1M steps/sec, which is on the high end of pro-sumer.

It's awesome, but it's a pie-in-the-sky that most of us would never even have the source to buy, let alone approach.
as a variation, have a 10% tip included in the price by law. yes, it will raise the prices, but since it is a mandatory tip, it also must go directly to the waiters, thus raising their pay.

I'd like to see more program that run on my computer and less saas.

Saas is a big part of the bezzle in 2018

https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/03/25/the-new-bezzle/

because it appeared to solved the problem of "We don't know how to valuate internet companies" by introducing a hypothetical stream of recurring revenues that fits into traditional valuation spreadsheets.

Trouble is that the profitability of those schemes depends sensitivity of the parameters of the model so it is easy to show people something that looks good but change assumptions about customer acquisition costs, churn, etc. and all bets are off.

The coupling of hardware and software also makes saas pricing difficult. About the only concept in saas pricing that makes sense is "have three plans and people will pick the one in the middle". Unless you are charging people 100x as much as is fair for the hardware you will run into cases where you don't make money on some people. There are many interesting services that have never materialized because you just can't make the pricing work out unless people pay for their own hardware when they need it as opposed to sign up for $X a month.

Eventually there will be a crackdown on subscription box and other recurring payment scams. It is a all a maze of dark patterns that contributes to the erosion of faith in institutions, people thinking the system is rigged, yellow-shirt protestors throwing molotov cocktails, etc.

Think about making what people want as opposed to "I want to make a ssas product"
I personally do not think it is a right of an employee to have privacy when having a discussion with another employee, over a work medium, about a work related matter.

Just because using the ability to read private messages screams micro-management, it doesn't mean that it's not occasionally necessary to discover instances of harassment or abuse.
> The only thing holding us back is fear of change and an attitude of laziness

Baloney. We'd have to rebuild all our cities. Stop for a minute and think seriously about the cost (even just the energy cost) of doing that.

> especially given the fact that we already did something at that scale in the 20th century when we reorganized our society to support a car-based commute

No. We didn't rebuild the cities to do that, for the most part. We built the new growth in a different way than the existing cities. But fixing the existing setup to be less car dependent would require a whole lot of rebuilding. (You mention Salt Lake City. Trax and Frontrunner are fine, but they haven't emptied I-15. You want to change Salt Lake so that I-15 is empty? You're going to have to do a lot more than extend Trax.)
