If you wanted to do this kind of holography, you’d be using multiple lasers (or masers) to stimulate different excitation states of atmospheric gases - you “just” have to have them sweep fast and accurately enough to intersect at each pixel. The engineering challenge is far from insignificant, but there is some progress being made in this general direction, coming from the 3d printing world (volumetric/tomographic printing).

Yes. Any our theory is a simplification of reality.

Yeah. This is a problem I think. Is there is any way to define a person, which can justify human right to eat a chicken. Self-awareness seems the most promising.
OK, yea, my filter is set to off. But still, the search I made was regarding completely innocuous programming related stuff, why should adult results come up that quickly? My Google preferences are also set to no filtering and I looked almost 10 pages deep there (just to check), and no adult results showed up.

1. Threaten to leave: Don't bother. Won't change anything, and will put you in a position where he calls your bluff, and you end up in the same position but with a time factor, coming off as mercurial, melodramatic, and weak.

2. Use your users/investors: Probably should be doing this already.

3. Shutdown the company and start a competing company: Hard to see the downside to this approach given what you've told us.

Have you raised money? Do you have registered IP or IP agreements? Are you an LLC, C-Corp, or non-entity? Need to know these things to provide the best advice.

If a shutdown-today, reopen-tomorrow approach is non workable, consider a "soft landing" where you arrange for a "new company" (which you control) to exclusively license your existing entity's IP at a pittance (or a convoluted formula that ends up becoming a pittance). The other guy still owns 50% of something, sees his fortune as existing shareholder is the same as yours, so he's happy and has no reason to fight with you.

>If you want to gauge if the Democrats are "far left" you need to survey the American people, and when you do so, on issues like Gun Control, Health Care, Education, Benefits, you find they line up with the majority of Americans. By large margins, ranging from 60-80%, the public supports common democratic positions. So if they're far far left, of whom?

No they really don't, not when you get into the actual issues with actual facts, not bumper sticker rhetoric like "Do you support Reasonable Gun Control" without specifying what they gun control is or "Do you support an assault weapons ban" without saying what an assault weapon is.

On Gun Control most people support the level of Gun Control when having today once they are educated on the actual laws we have, and generally reject the massively expanded democrat policies once they are explained in full to them

Cat Ladders of Switzerland
Before moving to Europe in 2005, my impression of former-communist countries was that they were all poor/backwards: this was the only context you would have ever hear about them growing up in Israel in the late 80s/90s.

Furthermore the majority of my extended family left the Soviet Union in the 90s but my grandparents came over long before that (fraternal in the 1930s and maternal in the 40s right after WW2). Neither the old nor new arrivals ever talked about their former homelands in a positive way.

To my surprise many former communist countries/cities neighbouring Austria & Germany (I lived in the former for 8 years and in the latter for 5) actually seemed more or less the same as their western counterparts, or least the parts of them that I visited (Prague, Brno, Cracow, to a lesser extent Budapest, Ljubljana & Bratislava).

I therefor assumed the supposed backwardness was mostly just propaganda. But reading the above makes me think that the closer approximation to the truth is that even European (i.e. not central-asian former soviet republics) former-communist countries vary a lot & can't be that simply pigeon-holed.

> isn't it possible to just revive XMPP?

Please no. XMPP has adapted over time to support various chat and instant messaging features that we today take for granted. These adaptions come in the form of Extensions[1]. A year ago I spent about two hours with a geek friend to configure something that resembles what we get from any other instant messenger today. That's not acceptable to the outside world.

Meanwhile, Matrix just worked. Granted, UX involved with the key management associated with E2EE was not what it should have been. But, that has largely been fixed in v1.0.

Funny thing, Matrix is still struggling (like every other federated network) to explain the concept of federation. People may have grasped email, but for some reason it seems hard to translate that knowledge to other federated technologies.

To suggest that we should just go back to XMPP seems like insanity to me. Matrix stands a chance. It's freaking wonderful!

I lived in Taipei in the 1990s and have been back many times since. Prior to 2002, I rarely would see people wearing them while riding scooters, but never anywhere else. After the shock of SARS, that changed - people starting wearing them on subways, airplanes, on the street, etc. It was a major urban public health panic, and the building quarantines, airport health checks, and media coverage freaked people out.

15+ years later, it's not pervasive. Last summer when I went back I spotted a few people on the subway and airplanes wearing them, and it's pretty widespread among scooter riders, reflecting (I think) a sensitivity about air quality along with a mild concern about catching something from the people around you.

I have no antipathy towards MSG. I can taste that it tastes good. The thing is really: It messes with my sleep. I don't know how, but sometimes I get a high dose in me and I just cannot get to sleep, like at all. Elevated heart rate, mind racing, all night long. _That_ I do not like. I don't believe it's an evil chemical, it's naturally occurring after all. But yeah, if someone knows a hack to cure the occassional insomnia... that'd be great.

I don't see any sign of desperation or disingenuousness in the reply, but that's probably because I'm an unconscious racist too.

Seems more of an meta-APIs library:

- bitcoinfees.earn.com for the fees

- bitpay.com (then blockchain.info if bitpay fails) for the rates

- bitpay / smartbit.com / blockchain for balance and transactions

- And then a lot of functions mainly used to create transactions it seems (I'm not a bitcoin expert)

(utils might the common denominator of all software projects :) ) (also the repetition of methods made me think of "define_method" in ruby)

Another problem with prediction markets is issues with US law. There used to be a 'futures market' in Dublin where you could buy and sell futures on whether Osama Bin Laden would be caught by some date and all sorts of stuff but I think they ran into problems with US residents betting on politics I think which is illegal there. This was a decade or so ago using fiat.

Although this is only a handful of lines [0] it's nice to design things well.

- By providing a 'builder' you add a clear API to the struct object's constructor. It doesn't make any more or fewer claims of capibility than it needs to. By exposing the internal storage you break that level of abstraction.

- Even assuming that the JS object type _is_ ordered, the ADT of the Struct type may be subtly different to the ADT of the object. By coupling the two you may prevent future flexibility.

- To that point, the 'field' method _does_ do something with each invocation (forceEndianess) as it adds it to the internal storage. If you passed in a map object it would still need to traverse each key to do that work, which (knowing JS objects) might make it more complicated.

"If plane at a low altitude at full power is stalling, just lower the nose."

Except as can be seen time and again basic instinct can kick in "damn, plane is falling, I need to be higher" and pilots have been known to pull back on the stick to get height.
Nice, and needed. Curious if you also considered a sprintf-ish template based approach like Perl's pack() or Python's struct.pack().
It might be worth making those "official" then, if it's not worth having everyone reimplementing them? If they're the standard in all but name, to the point where official material is referring to them as the preferred way to do things, I don't see why they should remain as third-party dependencies.

I disagree strongly that characterisation of stupid and dishonest. Play ball. You didn't know about the gun to your head, are you ok with that? It was futureproofing in case you later might want the gun and we're claiming it's not loaded.

Yes gun to the head is the extreme example, that's the point. Not switching it on does not absolve you of guilt. Same thing here.

That is an entirely reasonable point of view and argument. If you really do find it stupid and/or dishonest reflect on that.

If there is no law against putting secret wire taps in people's houses "by mistake" and claiming it wasn't switched on there should be because ethically its a crime worthy of the Stasi. I would prefer if we didn't have a turnkey solution to creation of a facist state of the kind the soviets could only dream of. Perhaps you like the idea? Ah but "google wouldn't" So there's no need for law surrounding google because they just wouldn't. I know some of the engineers and no way would they allow that.

Democracy deserves better defence. Even if the gun to your head is never fired and you don't know about it. Criminal. If the law says otherwise, change it.

Now I wonder if there is something you would like to disclose about your vested interests? Perhaps not. I'm old enough to remember smart and kind people being Soviet apologists then finding out later something approximating the truth to their revulsion. You don't have to be on the take to be an apologist. But there is a lot of defence of big silicon valley companies behaving badly around here and very little "Disclosure, I work for.." going on.
and DeepL instead of translate, at least if your language is supported. the translations are really good.

> For everyone's sake, don't test your theory on any toddlers.

I do not kill dogs belonging to other people (or any dog, to be clear), why should I kill toddlers belonging to other people? And if I claim that toddler is an external limb of parents, than killing toddler means damaging parents, it is like to cut off their arms or something like. It is a good enough reason to not kill toddlers, isn't it?

> Why draw the line at age 3, and not 9 (Age of Reason) pubescence (Coming of Age), or post-pubescence?

Because the line between a person and not a person is drawn to separate humans from other animals. To make humans special and to give them rights to kill animals, to own animals. We need a way to justify our denial of animal rights on land or on any other kind of property and so on. So we should try to draw a line such a way, that reflects specialty of humans.

Intro to Web Programming in Rust for Node.js Developers
Personally, I think it's a lot more useful to teach beginners and intermediate Rust programmers the extent of the standard library than teach them to grab the first library they find for everything–this is something that they can find out themselves when they realize that the standard library doesn't do what they want. Especially when it's coming from an first-party source like this one.

Counterintuitive Competitive Advantages
There are two common kinds of bad names in programming tools:

1) The descriptive where branding would be useful. The line of thought is something like this: "Apple gives everything such simple and obvious names. Their spreadsheet is simply 'Numbers'. I know — I'll call my new general-purpose programming language 'Code.'"

2) The branded where descriptiveness would be useful. Maybe I've built yet another HTTPS client library for language X with some kind of event-handling twist or whatever? I could call it 'pavlov-http' or 'evented-foobar-http'... But instead I'll name it 'robyzowitck' after my favorite Slobonian fantasy literature monster. Now, when person X uses my HTTP library and person Y inherits the project, they'll have to google what this library actually does, and briefly hate me for giving a silly brand name to a pedestrian utility.
Consider that the call-site in Ruby in the general case does not have any guarantees about how the recipient of a message will act on the message.

As an implementer, as you of course know from the amazing optimizations Truffle Ruby does, there are certainly lots of special cases where you can aggressively decide from an implementation point of view that you know how the recipient will act. So in practical terms a lot of code that uses systems that conceptually can do message passing will in practice in many - or even most - cases act exactly the same as a pure method-calling system.

But the conceptual difference is that in a message passing system, you can not do so for the general case before execution starts, because there is the chance that the treatment of messages change dynamically at runtime. E.g. the "fun" case of a program that eval()'s a user supplied string that redefines a method, to take the extreme case. "pry" and "irb" are good examples...

To me at least, message passing and "extreme late-binding of all things" relate to systems that conceptually allow deferring the decision of which piece of code will get called until the moment a message is passed, whether or not a specific instance actually makes use of that flexibility, while a "method call" implies that you can know in the general case by static analysis which method will be invoked, or at the very least which of a small, constrained set of methods will be invoked.

Of course you can always emulate one with the other, so the boundaries gets fuzzy.

EDIT: Put another way: You can implement message passing in any system by defining a send(object, ... args) function that implements dynamic lookup and allows the program to modify the lookup at runtime. One step up is to implement a "send(...args)" method on a class in a C++/Java style OO system. So any system can have message passing. But the difference in whether or not we consider a system message passing is largely a question of whether or not the system provides syntactic sugar to make that easy and whether or not it is considered idiomatic use.
