I believe this post ignores the implications of increased surface level radiation (Mars does not have a protective magnetosphere). See the two articles I link below.

A structure like this might make sense for a shorter mission - but considering the thought experiment asks what structure would be suitable for a long term Musk-style settlement I don't think thin ETFE would be enough.

At least part of the radiation risk is temporary solar events, so perhaps you could use a slightly hardened version of ETFE as the author suggests but keep all human activity near regularly placed deep shelters to retreat to when radiation spikes are detected?

The details make it a very hard problem. There is scientific consensus that a too rapidly changing climate leads to mass extinction of species (plants, animals, etc.), because suddenly species are not adapted to the climate they find themselves in and can't migrate quickly enough. This loss of biodiversity should be of great concern, because it is irrecoverable. There are tons of other non-obvious problems that are not commonly understood.

Significant but not in a good way. This was the start of the JS mess we have today. Simpler web pages was my hope for the web.

I also quite like web pages which were an artistic expression which was way more common the early 2000's but of course the accessibility was terrible.
Also such meek and suicidal cars would get abused to no end. Just imagine all the assholes today that pass cars in turns with bad visibility or bike in crazy ways.

With meek AIs on the road you can do anything (as long as you bunch up in large enough groups).

It is true that the earth has already been warmer. We're reaching points that humans are never seen, though.

Second, the problem here is not only the total temperature variation but the speed at which the temperature is changing.

Think of the difference between a car going from 130 km/h to 0 km/h in 8 seconds, and a car going from 130 km/h to 0 km/h in 0.3 seconds. Not really endearing.

This is a super good point. I keep going on about how in Japan (where I live) it is super important to be willing to do the things that are required when trying to move to an in-group. You can't generally pick and choose ("I'll follow the rules that makes sense to me" doesn't fly here). So, you have put your finger on it. I would definitely do that if I valued the in-group I was trying to move to.
This is exactly the effect that the news-spammers want to achieve. If you don't pick a side, you're not voting, or you're not an informed voter. So you've opted out of democracy. Which is nice, you've relieved yourself of a whole bunch of stress, and nothing changes in the short term.

Let me clarify: git clone/fetch/push on gitlab.com or github.com is sluggish, but on my private instances it's blazing fast, because I get great and un-metered bandwidth from my dedicated servers which might not be the case for everybody / every country.

Another thing: CI starts the very second I push, and since I configure dedicated runners extremely well GitLab makes it easy keep every pipeline stage under 5 minutes, which is critical to me, as such I recon I have acquired countless tricks for that matter.

Also, the ChatOps integration (GitLab to Mattermost or Slack) seems instant for me.

Those factors matter for me because I'm an extremely fast iterator and often iterate on several repositories at the time.

The cherry on the top is that the mirroring between my gitlab instance and github is also blazing fast.

As for the web interface, well they all feel slow to me so I don't spend my time waiting for them so it's ruled out of the equation for me anyway, I'm just far more comfortable with command line anyway.

But, pushing to gitlab prints out the URL to create a pull request from that branch, or to view the existing one, also a time saver that's not available on github, not sure why though.
Agreed, but the original argument was also not meaningful. The credentials are not useful.

I thought going underground was the way to go. I wasn't imagining a "pressurized tunnel" but rather a pressurized underground complex filled with tunnels and rooms (minecraft).

But maybe pressurizing an underground complex with walls made out of ...Mars is more difficult than building something on the surface?

Going underground seemed like it had limitless room for easy expansion.

I like the authors suggestion and it does sound better than a dome but living underground seems safer to me.

> Before codes of conduct, it was reasonably common for misogynistic men to get away with poor behaviour towards women in their communities “because they write good code”.

And now they're just as misogynistic, but we don't get to enjoy their code. They're also hidden from view so it's less likely that someone is going to tell them to cut the crap and maybe re-evaluate their world-view. They've essentially been shoved into an echo chamber.

In the end, arguing about code of conduct means arguing about the core ideas of free speech, one of them being: Do we want to segregate wrongdoers, or attempt to deal with them?

Where I live (Austria), everybody (modulo a few exceptions and quirks that shouldn't exist) has state-mandated health insurance. If we go to the doctor, of course the doctor gets paid, but not directly out of our pockets. The system is simple, and it works. I don't understand why you discount this possibility. It's the best model.

> enter a very long running insurance contract, before you develop a chronic condition. Because then there's still uncertainty, and uncertain conditions are insurable. In the strictest form, your parents would make the arrangements before conceiving you.

Yes, but people used to know that “modem” = “those funny noises on your phone line”.

Yes, you can precalc, and then you need very precise actuators to move the mirror to that precalced position.

You also need precise surveying of the ground site to know its geometry.
The precise actuators and surverying are expensive.

Their approach is using cheap actuators in a closed-loop system where a computer vision controller (using the four cameras on top of the tower) moves the mirrors until it gets it right. Cheap actuator slip and lag is terrible, but with the feedback of the closed-loop, it's doable.

This is an approach that's now allowing hobbyists to build cheaper motorised telescopes, robot arms and so on.
> If it does make the design more complicated, it may also reduce the potential attack surface.

an increase in complexity would rule out reduction of attack surface. in fact attack surface would be guaranteed to increase
>> At least gitlab let's you self host, which would let you run backups on offsite hosting meaning zero downtime.

Zero downtime but not zero maintainence cost. I think the administration of a full CI/CD environment (not only the gitlab machine, also the runners, the network etc.) are the main factor for this.

My worry comes from the asymmetric nature of the flow of currency on a population level, leading to (further) inequality. That's the gist of my problem. Not to say that we should be paying peanuts for workers in poorer countries, mind. We absolutely should be paying the value of the work done, but the truth is, purchasing power is different in different countries.
He's the Gordon Ramsay of the software world. Sometimes it just takes strong language to get a point across: "your code is low quality and you're wasting my time by having me review it". And to be honest, I'd gladly take being insulted over having to waste my time. Strong language doesn't hurt anyone, but you won't ever get that wasted time back. I consider it verbal self-defense.

> The first is that it explicitly prohibits patent lawsuits against people for actually using the GPL-licensed software you ship

Its a bit more complex than that. You are also prohibited from distributing the software if you are knowingly relying on a patent license from a third party.

A common interpretation in the past, and suspect it still rings true today, is that Apple do not know the scope and extent of their patent agreements with other companies, but they don't want to rely on ignorance when distributing software to millions of customers. The worst case would look like this:

Third-party company sue a Apple customer over a patent.

Customer accuse Apple for misleading them and convince a developer to aid them.

Developer sue Apple for infringement.

Somewhere, somehow a memo from a lawyer actually did inform someone at apple that the third-party company had such patent, meaning that apple knowingly infringed the copyright (much higher fines/punishment).
I think it’s far more likely that requiring human agreement to the new T&Cs is a convenient excuse to cull a ton of bots.
There is nothing wrong with bias. All media has biases, and those that a required to be unbiased, such as the BBC, end up causing other biases with equality of camera time making every issue a discussion. Which has been well exploited by certain minority views.

What has changed is the mainstream media used to care a lot more about being honest. Now they often couldn't give a toss.

I don't mind media being partisan, it's always been so, and often it's revealing to see the reporting from both sides of an issue, and add the FT's take for the financial slant. I do mind that we're rapidly running out of sources that care about being honest. Murdoch ruined the Times, the Barclay Brothers ruined the Telegraph. Both now far more opinion than news. That's a loss, whatever your politics.

litegraph.js really caught my attention and I'll be looking into using it for a project unrelated to 3d editing. I had been looking for a "general purpose node editor" for a while now but somehow never found litegraph. Let me know if you are interested in hearing feedback on that process.

I'm also looking for something similar to control and edit timelines. Do you have any plans on doing a litetimeline.js?

In general: kudos for having one of the few projects I've come across that is not drowning in dependencies. Very refreshing!

Suggestion: Having a few scenes to try out in the editor would be nice! (Or did I just miss them?)

> it can be surprisingly hard in many places to get lenses for rarer eye conditions.

Indeed, ZenniOptical sunglasses simply don't come in m prescription. It flat out tells me to select their regular frames and pay for the tinting. Between my astigmatism and my prism in each eye I'm fairly limited.

Or it just gets expensive. Last Friday I was curious about the new Oculus but hate how VR headsets like my friend's Vive shove my glasses into my face or just simply don't fit and looked at inserts for it, the cheapest I could find from the companies that manufacturer the lenses were 98$ per eye.

I have a 3yo and a 6yo. I want to cultivate there creativity and critical thinking skills in a way that relates to “math” but I’m not really concerned about teaching arithmetic. They get that enough in school. I also want to instill the idea that though getting “things” are nice, there is value other than just money.

Here’s one thing I’ve been doing/discovered that appears successful so far:

For years I was part of a maker space and I would bring my kid with me a “make” presents on the laser cutter. These were things I designed (like a press fit box) that they helped pick out what to etch on the cover. They would then help my put the material on the machine and push the button. Their friends (and friends parents) loved these gifts.

2 years ago, we moved to a new house and we bought a cnc router for the basement. It is nominally a tool for my side project making wordclocks. Though I’ve made a few clocks, we’ve mostly been making birthday/Christmas/Hanukkah gifts for their friends and cousins. The kids help me with the general concept, drawing ideas on paper, I make a cad design and program the machine. Then they help me “set up” the machine and push the button. Lastly they help me sand the final parts. One design we’ve made a TON of is a custom engraved magic marker holder based on their original design concept. Some of these ideas have even turned into a side, side project and we sell them on Etsy.

We’re not selling that many units, but I am getting a huge amount of satisfaction as a parent and the kids are having fun making things. Little do they realize that they are learning to design and fabricate. More importantly (I think) they are learning that if they have an idea, they have the power to implement it (albeit with a lot of help now, but that’s not the point). I like the idea of sneaking in STEM, creativity and confidence without the kids even noticing!

So if YOU are interested in making things, I suggest getting a cnc router, 3D printer, or other digital fab tool for YOUR hobby, but get your kids involved in the process.
