You missed the point... that decision should have been made.
Yeah, if you want to use the tools you need to use the tool chain.

On the other hand, I work with a whole lot of other peoples' WordPress projects. A lot of folks just crap some CSS wherever they can find a spot and call it done.

FWIW, I'd rather troubleshoot someone's gulpfile than dick around with a 4K line CSS file. But that's my choice and I know plenty of folks who pay their bills and would rather grep (well, they don't use grep because they don't know the CLI) and who love a monolithic CSS file.

I like the tools, some folks don't. But they aren't inherently bad tools, they are just not right for everything.
Cash is also more easily counterfeited than card transactions. I'm not sure how the risk of a fraudulent transaction works out in the end.
> I would wager most pro-life people only want: fetuses to have personhood and abortion as a contraceptive to be outlawed.

If I'm to place money, I'll bet against that. I think the abortion issue, for a much larger body of protesters than anyone wants to admit, is merely the excuse for something broader, and that in my experience (which of course is limited to my experience) this attitude tends to bleed out to contraceptives generally as they are all conflated as 'inducing an abortion' or something close enough to it. In fact, I would be willing to bet that if planned parenthood were to shutdown all abortion, never perform another one, never refer anyone to where they could get one, wash their hands of it completely, and continue on with everything else they do, the majority of protesters would not leave. but, then again, this's just my opinion informed by my experiences.
It has rule sets for both.
Incognito mode works pretty well.
This is so refreshing. Kudos to Dan Abramov for putting countless cases of imposter syndrome to rest, at least temporarily.
I’d just pick a charity, tell them they can make a donation. Each $1000 they donate gets them a third of a level. A- to A just costs a grand.

There’s no corruption on my part because I don’t keep the money.
You have zero clues and speak for others. Go away.
Yeah, I agree.

But the WordPress "Community" has a lot of peculiarities that are unique to that system.
Not the OP, but my wife is a teacher and has one 50 minute prep during her day. She teaches 7 different classes. Most days the school can't find enough substitute teachers and she ends up having to sub for another class during her one prep hour.
I'm cynical enough to have gotten a similar vibe from the article. People tend to go through life never giving a second thought to others' misfortunes and suffering: disabilities, cancer, suicide, etc. Then someone they love is affected, and suddenly it becomes their lifelong "cause"; every waking moment is spent trying to make others pay attention to a topic they themselves turned a blind eye to for years because it never affected them directly. A new charity fundraising event every other week (and repeatedly harassing family/friends/coworkers for donations); or becoming a speaker who travels to "share their wisdom" - but nobody is listening because, just like the speaker's own past self, their audience won't care until they are themselves touched by the same tragic event.

tldr; Advocating to get others to give a damn about something that will be experienced by a minority of people falls on deaf ears, because people really don't - and won't - care about something until it affects them personally.
Now to sell them a motor-generator set.[1] Total isolation from power fluctuations. The only connection between input and output is a rotating shaft.

I once worked in a mainframe computer installation which had one of those. Before switching power supplies, many mainframes used them for power cleanup. Cray used them to convert to 400Hz, so the power supplies had smaller transformers.

You clearly weren't trying to build rich UIs in the 90s and 2000s with the technology available then.
No, I was doing a fast sync (but not a light sync, which is different). I wanted and got the transaction history & full code for each smart contract on the chain, but didn't care about verification of each transaction in the chain.

You can run a full node that verifies everything on an ongoing basis without doing a full sync from the genesis block - just start it in fast sync, let the chain catch up, and then run it again in full mode. Unless you believe the Ethereum blockchain has already been compromised, there's no reason why your personal node has to verify everything from the genesis block.

You're either way more knowledgable than most, or there's a bit of Dunning-Kruger in play. Hard to tell. What you know is only a small part of the game anyways.
>Crimes Against fetuses are no different from crimes against a newborn

>I would be willing to compromise on annotation; allowed for extraneous circumstances

And thereinlies the contradiction. Does 2 wrongs make a right or doesn’t it? The answer is unclear and difficult, which leaves room for not only interpretation but personal expression. I gather you have a heart for victims of violence, but not for victims of poverty, despite all the measurable causal relationships between the two.

Pregnancy is an especially trying moment for any person, and by any logic concerns questions that both supersede that of carceral punishment and occupy capacity for managing decisions. If we want to prevent these horrors you describe, we need to concern ourselves with the material challenges of impending motherhood and healthy childhoods.
There's three kinds of article you can write:

1, things you know about

2, things you don't know about (this article as an example)

3, things you don't know you don't know about (hackernoon and medium are full of this kind of c*ap, people creaming their pants over switching their computer on for the first time)

There's absolutely zero value in the last two, they add so much noise and worse they make the author look like a complete idiot, even if they're not. I genuinely don't understand why people are so insistent on broadcasting their ignorance/stupidity though?

The only article of worth is the first kind, writing about your subject area, that adds value and is how people learn.

>You'll regret it if you ever think about playing with BSD, POWER9, or the platform of tomorrow

But the platform of tomorrow is clearly a resurrected Lisp Machine! In all seriousness, though, I'm pretty sure Racket runs on BSD, and it would probably not be that hard to get it working on any Unix. (In fact, portability is one of the main thrusts right now in core Racket development.)

>Your Racket-based shell requires a supported Racket platform, which is honestly a pathetic group: Linux, macOS, and Windows, on x86_64, i686, and ARM

>It's not about you: it's about everyone.

The same could be said about pioneering new architectures. I think you're doing great work on eg. getting RISC-V available on your build platform. But by the time I will realistically buy a RISC-V machine to replace the server I run most of my shell scripts on a lot more software will be ported to it, probably including Racket. I'm under no delusions that the masses will be flocking to my shell, but there are so many shells that are better than Posix for (at least what I perceive to be) most shell scripting. If any of these better shells becomes very widely used I'm sure it will be ported to $platform_of_tomorrow (oops! I mean "$platform_of_tomorrow"!) before it is very widely deployed.

>A comfortable interactive shell experience is a good thing, and has nothing to do with POSIX.

At least we agree there!

As an aside, I think your projects (sway, wlroots, sr.ht) are really cool, and I like your blog, despite our disagreement about things like sticking to Posix shell and C. Cheers!
One thing I would add - using negative indices to index from end is a bad idea in general, because you may inadvertently end up with a negative index as a result of a calculation that you expected to always be positive - and then instead of an out-of-bounds error, you get silent wrong behavior.

IMO, it's better to have dedicated syntax for index-from-end, as part of the range syntax. Again, Nim does that: x[0..^1] (although unfortunately they didn't make it symmetric).
....which is yet another clear sign that selling the best years of your life in the hope of having some kind of liberty in the twilight years is not a sound strategy.

The whole "debate" is a classic divide-and-conquer campaign.

People in the one reality tunnel [0] believe one thing, while people with an incompatible reality tunnel have different beliefs. Both sides have their valid points. Both sides are confused about other aspects of the situation.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_tunnel

One of my more memorable taxi driving experiences [1] started with a woman trying to leave her sober living facility, and her friends saying, "You'll never get your baby back, if you leave..." Her newborn had been taken by CPS at birth two weeks before, on account of her already having a child in the state's custody.

This woman hadn't had a miscarriage/stillbirth/aborted her baby, but she was nonetheless traumatized by losing the child she'd delivered. Most children do better when they're not raised by the state: parents/adoptive parents > foster care. I don't think many pro-life activists dedicate themselves to raising other peoples' children.

[1] http://www.taxiwars.org/2016/02/the-difference-between-boys-...

A simple reframe of the issue could end the effectiveness of this divide-and-conquer campaign. Both sides need to acknowledge that it's better to not need an abortion, that women throughout history have developed not-very-safe methods of dealing with inconvenient pregnancies [2][3], and that the post-Roe v. Wade divide-and-conquer campaign actually amplifies the number of abortions/miscarriages/stillbirths/hurt women.

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-induced_abortion

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide#In_ancient_history - Greece and Rome:

"[...] These babies would not be directly killed,
but put in a clay pot or jar and deserted outside
the front door or on the roadway. In ancient
Greek religion, this practice took the
responsibility away from the parents because
the child would die of natural causes, for example
hunger, asphyxiation or exposure to the elements."

Maybe conservatives will realize the futility of their efforts to put the technology-genie back in the bottle, and shift to supporting pregnant women who have no support (thereby giving women who might otherwise abort an option).

Maybe liberals will find non-medical ways to help women manage their menstrual cycles without doctors. Some progress was being made by feminists in the mid-20th century, but this line of investigation/development shut down when "the pill" was approved... My friend called me in a panic once when she missed her period, but she got it to come back by herself.
Since level 5 driving has not yet been achieved, aren't we talking about future AI, not current AI?
>Anything could technically be used as currency. Historically people have always used something that is difficult to forge.

It's estimated that $70 million dollars in counterfeit money is in circulation in the US. At an estimate of $0.12 per kWh of electrical use Bitcoin uses approximately 70 tWh of power a year. Lets see that comes out to about $120m. At what point is the cure worse than the disease? Again this is just for Bitcoin in its current state as a semi-novelty currency/commodity. How much would it cost to operate the grid for bitcoin if it was the worlds primary reserve currency?
I've played hundreds of games, but Jason Rohrer's Passage is one that I keep coming back to in my mind. It's a 5-minute-long, linear indie game with blocky pixel graphics that was probably made over the course of a week. A game doesn't need to be a grand, million-dollar masterpiece to really and truly mean something to a player. In fact: I'd rather it wasn't, since empirically I remember almost nothing about the AAA games I've played, except for a vague sense of having had fun.
Why not link to the fedbounty site? This psa reads like a satire or fictional desired version of the world and is kind of incoherent and confusing

As Im not sure if the actual fedbounty is a real thing or exists or what the bounties are

I care about how much the bounties pay

If this is really a national security system is the fed opening up its purses paying devs 7 figures per exploit?

This is what the bounty hunter in me is wants to know
It would have to be savings in excess of what I’d get through rewards or cash back, and I’d have to trust the, utmyes id reasses.
Why, and how, would one "tweak" a machine?
It's cheaper and safer to store it in deep crystalline bedrock. I guess if we geologists can't convince we the people of that maybe the railgun idea would work, especially if you could hit the sun where the fast fusion neutrons would consume the hell out of it.
Suggestion to rename 'Teachers Quit Jobs at Highest Rate since 2001' as that's when this record was started.
The software we used to have (Aries Portal) did not have a "ready to publish" state on entered assignments (at least, not back then). As soon as the assignment was entered, it was immediately affecting grades. I did not have high hopes for usability testing or anything really. You could, at the time, access student info that, as a teacher, you should not have access to (discipline records, for example) with basic url tampering.
I would like to know the alternative. Sounds as though you are suggesting that one should never work.
Would love to hear about the hardware she's using for this! It's very cool.
Human eyes don't work anything like cameras. The eye processes information that isn't just intensities of photons and their wave lengths—which is the only information collected by cameras. See Walter Pitt's "What the Frog Eyes Tell the Frog Brain" for an introduction: 'Fundamentally it shows that the eye speaks to the brain in a language already highly organized and interpreted, instead of transmitting some more or less accurate copy of the distribution of light on the receptors.'
This has always felt to me like an inconvenient truth most people are too uncomfortable to voice aloud. Maybe we all fear that we're the singular hapless fool adrift in an industry of savants?
Of course you still have reason to be skeptical. The point is not to lend flourish to your political discussions. It’s to increase the labor supply and effectively pay lower wages.
Teaching is hard, unfortunetely we dont value good teachers as much as we should. Thus they quit. My mom is a teacher and she loved her work, her students also loved her. But the atmosphere in schools is now so bad, not many can take it.
Fair enough.

A six hour commute is unrealistic, but by my calculations a constant 1g of acceleration is enough to cover a round trip from Wellington, New Zealand to Tokyo and another from Wellington to Lisbon in under 90 minutes of daily commute.

I note that in reality, we don't ever travel with constant nonzero acceleration, but it's fair to ignore that under the explicit assumption that there are no costs involved.
It's interesting and notable because of who wrote it. The author created one of the most-used programming frameworks, yet there are a lot of things he doesn't know. This type of article can actually be super helpful for people with impostor syndrome, as it shows that you don't need to be an expert in everything to create work that millions of people use and love.
People with more skill and proficiency don't need to sacrifice as much of their time to provide the basic sustenance they need to live. They can sacrifice a bit more of their time to earn a bit more and improve their standard of living though. The most skilled have the leisure to work when they want and for who they want, because those skills are in high demand and people are willing to pay more for them.

Time is the sacrifice. If everybody could have a high standard of living and not work, most would chose not to work and spend that time with their families instead. Obviously, there are some who find meaning or purpose in a lifestyle of work, and chose to do so even if they don't need the compensation which comes out of it. Each to his own.

Depends what you're going for. If you have the fissile concentration to support it a fast-neutron chain reaction has lots of benefits: more neutrons per absorption in fuel leads to the ability to breed fuel for millennia or alternatively get lots more energy out of nuclear waste. Fission product poisons don't affect fast neutrons that much so you can get way more energy out of the fuel in fast reactors.

There are plenty of places in US that are exactly as OP has described. This is not because bike lanes aren't inefficient per se, but because they're often built in the wrong places, or lack other infrastructure.

How is nuclear being expensive political? It is fundementally untenable as a commercial enterprise when compared to natural gas, solar, and wind.

90-95% of all new generation coming online each year are renewables in the US. Renewables cost continues to decline year over year, speeding its uptake. I cannot fathom how one would think nuclear can compete at all in such an environment.

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=31192

“Nearly all nuclear plants now in use began operation between 1970 and 1990. These plants would require a subsequent license renewal before 2050 to operate beyond the 60-year period covered by their original 40-year operating license and the 20-year license extension that nearly 90% of plants currently operating have either already received or have applied for. The AEO2017 Reference case projections do not envision a large amount of new nuclear capacity additions. By 2050, only four reactors currently under construction and some uprates at existing plants are projected to come online.”
Well, that's actually true in a lot of schools in the US -- over lunch you have cafeteria duty and right after school there's the patrolling pick-up/busses and the after school clubs...

Of course, this could never happen in the United States. A friend of mine, a single mother, was arrested and charged for letting her kids play without an adult present in the park across the street from her apartment. There are lots of scary people with guns out there, you see. If only it was possible to do something about that.

It's not unique to teaching. Your employer will take from you as much as you will give. Worse, your insane hours and effort eventually become the expected minimum. To prevent this, many years ago I started setting the timer to 8 hours and 30 minutes (the latter is to account for lunch). Once the timer beeps, I get up and GTFO. No matter what. This works great.
I'm going to state a very strong opinion here and know that it will backfire: families should be educating their kids themselves, and society should make this financially possible (let's start off with eliminating the dual-income family). Teachers, as they are currently qualified, should be adjuncts to the family school.
Because of the safety concerns.

Again it doesent matter how much come online it matters if it replaces fossile or nuclear in any significant way, it doesent, its unreliable.
Where should I start? Ellison made the first commercial implementation of SQL. (Granted, Ellison didn't invent SQL, but he instantly recognized the importance of it and made it commercially successful, just like Steve Jobs didn't invent graphical interfaces, but instantly recognized its importance when he saw it Xerox Parc.)

Ellison has been talking about what he called "Network Computing" since the mid 1990s. He said "We need computers that do less not more". He was laughed at and ridiculed, but today Chromebooks are the implementation of his "Network Computer" vision. "Computers that do less" are now a reality.

What we know today as "cloud computing" was first envisioned by Ellison in the mid 1990s. He called it "network computing". He talked about why it is important to "centralize complexity" and keep the end-user devices simple. Meanwhile Steve Ballmer was touting the "power of the local hard drive". Ellison's vision seems like commonsense today, but it wasn't back then.

There are lots of other things. For example he was the first to move Enterprise applications to the Web when web-based applications weren't a thing yet. Oracle Parallel Server was his idea. He even wrote the first implementation himself.
Alvy Ray Smith gives his version of the story in the "Valley of Genius" [1]:

> "Life with Steve was awful. There was this famous board meeting at NeXT. Steve comes in and he’s busting Ed and me for being late on a circuit board for the image computer, which we were. And I said, “But Steve, you’re late on one of your boards.” Which was true. Now normally that would have just been okay. Not this time. He starts insulting me, making fun of my accent, playground bully stuff. This was not two intelligent people having a conversation or even a healthy debate. This was just sheer bullying. And what did I do? I just stood up and went right into him. Now I’m very proud of that, but it probably was an insane thing to do. I went right up into his face, screaming in rage. I still can’t believe it happened. Just weird, just screaming at each other. And at that point I forced my way past him and wrote on the whiteboard. I wished I had written something clever. I was too insane. I just made a mark. It was a forbidden act, so he said, “You can’t do that.” And I said, “What? Write on the whiteboard?!” That was it. He stormed out of the room."

And later:

> "It was when I looked at the prospectus for the IPO when I first realized that Steve lies. He claimed to be the cofounder of Pixar and the CEO since its founding. In the prospectus! Cofounder and CEO forever! Bullshit. Both of those are wrong: lies. I don’t like this “reality distortion field” idea. He lies. But you know his genius was to take the company public on nothing. The movie wasn’t even a hit yet, and there was essentially no cash at all. But he saw his chance to make his $50 million back. And he did."
