Will they finally open the Workplace Shell? It's a truly object-oriented desktop design that's still superior - a decade later - to anything Windows has to offer. Looking back it's hard to believe a lot of the early FUD from MS against OS/2 was aimed at scaring people away because, hey, 2 megabytes of memory was just an absurd requiremet! They also claimed multithreaded programming was no big deal. If they open up the Workplace Shell maybe OS/2 could preserve some of its legacy. It would rock on Linux.

What does this even mean?

Inheritance. In windows (or Linux) a file is an extension and is associated with an application or collection of applications. In OS/2 a file can inherit from various parents. So for example you could have a file xyz.mp3 of a lecture:

1) Since its an .mp3 the sound programs work on it and "edit" opens it up in a sound editor

2) Since its part of a lecture it will inherit from the word transcript and when you "open for transcription" it opens with another (say word doc) transcript

3) Since the lecture an be associated with other lectures which have video with them when you "open for viewing" it can pull up the associated powerpoint

etc...

Now the important thing is that these behaviors are inherited because the xyz.mp3 is a member of class lecture in addition to being a member of the class .mp3. Members of the class .mp3 are sound files while members of the class lecture have associated transcripts and lectures.

It also made some attempt at polymorphic behavior (i.e. edit, open, etc..).
Finally information was encapsulated at the lowest level (the file, the folder, etc..)
Hey, markchristian, the footnote numbering in this article is off/inconsistent. (The links seem correct, but the numbers are wrong.) Would you mind fixing this? Thank you!

Edit: Whoops, sorry, I got mixed up. This comment actually applies to your "sensors in cartridges" article (https://writing.markchristian.org/2019/05/11/sensors-in-cart...), not the one I'm actually commenting on. Oops.

I'm certainly no crypto expert. And, sad to admit, I hadn't even heard of trollwot until today. Or keyserver-fs or sks-exploit. I have read about risks of key collision, but had the impression that faked keys wouldn't actually work.

So yes, I get the argument that Hansen should have warned people. But I gotta wonder who else has been aware of this vulnerability for years.

And I wonder how bad this could get. I can purge requests to SKS keyservers from my machines, but what about all the upstream impacts? As I understand it, GnuPG authentication is pervasive. And "ask SKS" may be almost as pervasive.
This problem with the IRS seems to have influenced his life direction quite a bit judging from his blog. Transferred assets to a charity; acquired foreign citizenship; renounced US citizenship; moved to a country where foreign-sourced income is tax exempt. Guess it really stung!

There was more of that sort of thing back in the 1990s. It was never that big. An event organizer once told me that the pool of people who go to things like that in SF was about 400. If you went to the SF Fetish Ball and the London Fetish Ball, you saw many of the same people.

It kind of died off with goth.
Not my experience (in Germany). Sometimes people (mostly women) assume I am taking a day off for daddy time and give me some sort of mini applause. But that is pretty rare.

More notable is perhaps the gender distribution on the playground. I do think it is easier for moms to connect/bond with each other. Like if I plan an excursion and wonder what friends of my kids could join, I find it more difficult to simply ask another mom. Might just be me, though.

That’s one way to look at it. Unfortunately, Indian banks have been granting billions of dollars of loans to the coal sector[1] and if solar power cost drops and we can’t export excess power, we’re in for trouble . Talk of second order effects ..

> who ate meat without the benefit of refrigeration or USDA inspections

There is a reason why those exist and it's not for fun.

They also knew (a bit) how to keep it good (for a while) without refrigeration.

Hence beef jerky, ham curing and other techniques. It would also get cooked on the day if not processed. In northern Europe the weather also helps.

Not to mention the tapeworms and other nice stuff laying around.

Your SE restaurants probably deep fried the stuff or left it cooking for long.

The '50s were a different time. When I was in third grade, I think it was 1959, I got to go to Mrs. Spencer's Workshop for part of each day. This was a special class where we could make up our own projects and do them.

I wanted to make a printed circuit board for a science fair project, and I wanted to etch it myself. I didn't have a source for a phenolic board with a copper layer, but I figured I could at least demonstrate the concept by masking both sides of a copper sheet with electrical tape as a resist.

So I asked Mrs. Spencer if she could get me a sheet of copper, some electrical tape, and a tank of nitric acid. And she did!

I masked the copper with the tape and dunked it in the nitric acid, and watched it dissolve the copper. Then rinsed off the copper, peeled off the tape, and glued the copper strips to a cutting board to make the circuit. (I figured the cutting board would satisfy the "board" part of "printed circuit board".)

This was the best third grade project ever!
OMG, that is perverse. Users spend more time on the sites because the sites are slower to load and more difficult to use.
There's no requirement to be to a member of the OpenID Foundation to describe your implementation as OpenID; the trademark rules are here: https://openid.net/intellectual-property/trademark-license/

The main requirement therein I would say is that you can't use OpenID to describe an implementation unless it implements the mandatory-to-implement parts of the relevant protocol specification (and all the specifications are 100% free; e.g. https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html ). That's more about interoperability than anything else.
I had the same weird typing style but really wanted to use the split ortholinear keyboard layout due to some pain I was feeling in my forearm

Adapting to the layout was frustrating. It took me a week of standard use to not have typos. About a month to lock down the location of modifier keys and layer layouts.

Was it worth it? In my case, absolutely. The pain in my forearms disappeared. I also type "properly" on standard staggered keyboards now.

It turns out that in my case, the weird typing style was part of why I was feeling pain in my forearms in the first place.

at 10kwh system means it basically falls in line with the average usage per household in the US (source https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3)

Therefore, this ought to be self-sufficient, if there's storage. Batteries cost extra, no doubt, so it's not "free" after 3 years, but would be pretty cheap if batteries can be amortized over their expected 25yr lifespan (assuming same batteries as telsa's).
From what we know about the 737 MAX issue so far, the software not performing as specified was not one of the causes. The article's jump from "these accidents cost lives and money and can be resolved by a software patch" to listing tools and processes that ensure software behaves as specified, seems unjustified.

Even the idea that a good software engineer would have caught the problem in the specification seems far fetched. The MCAS software was designed with a low impact (small individual corrections, small maximum total correction) that would have appeared safe to anyone, and those constants were increased later on. Do we expect good software engineers to second-guess changes in physical aero constants coming from aero engineers?

>However France is famously centralized

Yes, but if you consider the size of economy and population, France = California, and EU = US federal government. And France, being centralized, is quite independent and self-governed, unlike California.
These Wikipedia admins are reaping what they sowed. The toxicity and ban-happy attitude in Wikipedia as a whole did not come from the Foundation (which is the internet landlord of the site anyway - if you don't like it, start a fork). The Wikimedia Foundation has just upped the ante a little bit.

That’s true - where or how a bank account is opened has no bearing on a company’s ownership structure, which is established by contract. There is something big missing in this story. Maybe the accountant also worked for his parents and handled everything in autopilot?
In Varanasi in India, many businesses have their own batteries as power cuts happen often enough that it's a necessity.

One could also use a white roof as a lower cost alternative. It should probably be in building codes in hot climates.

Well I personally don’t like the self censorship approach. You must come from a more authoritarian culture. In the US, there is the 1st amendment of free speech (something that other countries can not stomach). This includes the ability to criticize and insult our government, country, and president.

The purpose of free speech is to speak without free of being reprimanded for saying the wrong thing in order to communicate more effectively.

Only insecure organizations ban dedicated community members for speaking out of line. In a more open and democratic organization, the governing committee should just acknowledge statement and move on with the shared goals of the community. Especially with Wikipedia where controversy is expected, admins should not self censor with fear of being reprimanded for “thinking/talking” out of line.

And with regards to your chess club, that is your insecurity speaking - your chess club leader may welcome the feedback and try to understand what made you say that in the first place. If the organization is open to feedback and criticism, and if you are a valued member then it should be concerning why u spoke out, since it may affect others too. A club is only as valuable as its members - please remember that.

You'd need to size the generation for your worst days, not the average over the year; if you're using any kind of electric heating (e.g. reverse cycle air con), and your generation is lower in the winter months, you'll drain your battery each day, and the overabundance in the summer months doesn't help you.

Add in more solar panels for this, as well as the cost of a battery that can store a few days worth of power, and you're talking a substantially larger expense to cut the grid tie. However, the days of 100 year paybacks are clearly behind us if we're seriously doing back of the napkin math here. The progress in the field is impressive.

>What level of suffering is worth preventing

The question is rather, could you prevent suffering by regulating the natural self-organizing order.

The main point of Hayek was that the economy is like biotope: there are millions interconnected entities making decisions on their own.

Intervening the economy is like intervening the biotope, you are adjusting the system you have no clue about. Killing/dismantling one actor could cause a chain reaction of quite dismal consequences. For example Mao campaign on killing sparrows ended with a locust invasion.

The outcome of such anti-trust regulations is impossible to predict, so it could end up with broken supply chains, deficit, inflated prices etc.

I'm quite sceptical about this, I thing the remedy would be worse than the disease. If people are suffering and create a demand, I'd rather find what prevents the supply.

So, they are sometimes even required for certain classes.

I see your point, but the last paragraphs of the article painted a different scenario; one where the self-governing bodies were unable to address the skillfully borderline actions - where each one individually is within rule and custom, but as a whole are an act of harassment- of a malicious yet respected actor.

I think there could be some useful purposes for everyone outside of social media: unifying those people, helping them find each other, mobilizing them to take community measures. I think it's safe to say that at this point we're not looking for another social network to replace Facebook or another search engine to replace Google - we need to start finding ways to work decentralized but still come together -this is going to come out sounding silly, but - on the Internet's behalf.

This could be good. Stuff like #deletefacebook was interesting, but it didn't help people find alternatives. I like that a 'strike' implies group action together toward some kind of progress.
It sounds like your chess club owner would be acting as a benevolent dictator, deciding the rules and punishment after the fact. Works well enough as long as he remains benevolent.

This is already happening to some degree - like I wonder what percentage of Twitter messaging is now complaining about Twitter. Yes, this could just generate some small increase in traffic for the day - but that's an acceptable short-term concession if it means the centralized social networks could go away in the long-term.

Not every chip mimics a PDP-11 or can be made to resemble one. Chuck Moore's GA144 is an array of his F18A Forth chips, which are all rather small and simple stack machines that support such fine grained operations as looping the instructions that share a machine word.

Given that this is a heavily segmented machine, with very different primitive operations than a PDP-11, and also has a word size of eighteen, I don't imagine C would run very well on it at all, if you even wanted to try.

So, there you have it.

The certification suite is open source software (produced by the OpenID Foundation mostly at their cost) and entirely free to use:

(There is a fee to pay for the 'OpenID Certified' logo and to be listed as certified, but in my opinion just running the free tool and fixing any interoperability issues is a major benefit by itself.)

In the book "Principles" by Ray Dalio, he argues that when someone criticizes you or opposes your opinion, you should at least briefly consider the possibility that they are completely right and you are completely wrong.

Well, I may be misquoting him, but I remember getting the idea from the book, and I now find it hugely helpful to challenge myself like this when I find my opinion is in conflict with another person's. Working from "Am I wrong?" breaks down a of the ego barriers that are erected when you instead begin by defending a position you already hold.
This seems like it could work pretty well. It would be interesting to try it out.

I see two possible sources of bias:

1. The way in which a person labels the others won't be random. And multiple people may exhibit the same pattern. For example, let's say that people are biased towards trying to label an "average" person as #1. This might be based on height, weight, attractiveness, etc. Then a given person may have an uneven distribution of labels attached to them. Further compounding this could be that the most "average" person is the one most likely to be chosen by the second person.

2. You would need to come up with a random way to pair up the first and second person. The worst case might be that the same two people are always paired with each other, and each person always chooses the same person in the room. Then you would end up with a series of 10 digits repeating themselves.
