> I personally would prefer WordPress to allow whoever wants to make an app and give the users the responsibility to choose what to add and what not

I'm totally with you but that assumes that WP devs have the responsibility to make responsible decisions. The range of skill for a typical WP dev is outstanding, where on one end you have people who can't write a for loop adopting the "dev" title, and on the other end you have skilled engineers.

I've seen WAY too many people call themselves "devs" when all they do is try to install plugins to piece together a website. In relation to Apple and FF - average users are not savvy at all and have been shielded from the nuts-and-bolts decisions that we make on a daily basis. Trusting them with the responsibility to make good decisions is precarious.
Can you point me towards getting an AWS/GCP instance for around $20/year? Is it AWS or GCP? Also what type of instance? What are the specs?

Regardless of the acquiring company's motivation, being acquired is one of the textbook criteria for a successful startup. The other is becoming a large company by themselves, but this is rare.

And since Red Hat kept Container Linux/CoreOS open source, this wasn't really a move to eliminate competition. They can support enterprise clients, but the open source nature doesn't stop another company from offering their own enterprise support.

> you gotta start boycotting all your popular software (and some hardware), cause Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, and Facebook all have a hand in buying these startups.

You make this sort of action sound out of reach/unreasonable.
Ah, that's a good reference for a more modern "control loop" idea. I agree that there are many similarities with that specification and I need to read in more depth. Thanks!

Honestly, there's limited advantage over vanilla HTML5 if HTML is actually what you were going to write. The website at moxie.rs is plain HTML/CSS/etc. The reason to reach for tools like this on the web is if you want interactive state, complex data transformations, etc.

I think it will be hard for moxie-dom to compete directly on ergonomics with purely web-focused tools (especially JS frameworks), because the underlying tools will always need to maintain some distance from platform semantics.

Shawshank Redemption
> Building new housing lowers prices for all preexisting housing

This is not true in the US. Housing in the US is valued solely by the value of the housing around it (called 'comps' or 'comparables'). Building new luxury housing raises the price for all preexisting nearby housing, because your comparables will now be based on whatever the luxury housing prices are (even if your own house is very modest, even if your own house could never fetch a similar price, even if you never try to sell your house)

This is one of the big reasons you see pushback by rational, logical, well-informed residents in the US. Luxury housing usually raises all non-luxury housing costs nearby, simply by proximity. Is is effectively a form of financial pollution. Some people's wealth is so obscene, that the mere fact it exists in a physical location, punishes everyone else in proximity to that location.

This is what Gentrification looks like in non-California, non-coastal cities. Wealthy people artificially inflate the value of property in an area (which they can do, because there's never any limits or restrictions on construction of any kind, so they always build the highest-cost highest-margin property possible). And regular residents are now forced to bear that cost, forever.

It is possible to continue this bubble, irregardless of any actual demand for the housing, long after all real humans have checked out of the system. (See 2008 Financial Crisis). This process was not primarily driven by real people's housing needs, but by private capital's desire to store or grow their wealth, so real people have little control over it.

And, in non-Californian states like mine where property taxes are not locked in, but are recalculated constantly based on "market comparables", the bill for this financial pollution will hit you instantly on your next property tax invoice. Luxury condos go up on your block? Congrats, the tax bill for your old modest home is now doubled next year. Don't like it? Your only other option is to rent the unaffordable shitty luxury crap they just built.
Encoding is an answer; Goedel's work uses self-encoding to establishes the existence of statements that cannot be derived from existing axioms, but do not conflict with them. That doesn't seem to rule out the possibility of some "organic" way of obtaining such axioms.
Heck, for all I know maybe that was originally the idea. Buying a place that you'll live for 30-50 years is absolutely an investment in your future, regardless of the paper value of your property.

But when property values are wielded as arguments to beat down proposals for growth, for transit, etc, it's clear that this isn't the meaning in use.

Bare Sphere's [2] can be as small as 6.9cm diameter, and use of a neutron reflector could perhaps reduce that by half or more. 3.5cm is pretty small.

Well now that everything is done on laptops I'm sure they'll also ban you from bringing in anything besides your laptop. No pens, cases, books, etc.
I've been involved in two investigations into migrating from an incumbent on-prem cloud to The Cloud. Once directly, once tangentially. Both times, the conclusion was that The Cloud would almost certainly increase our IT costs, and also submit us to vendor lock-in.

I see The Cloud as being a great play for new companies, and companies with server needs that are both variable and out of phase with everyone else's. Small startups because time is their most precious resource, and picking a major PaaS provider minimizes the time spent making decisions about things that are tangential to the core business. e.g., if you use AWS then you don't have to hesitate for a moment on your object store; it's going to be S3. If you use on-prem cloud, then you'll likely have to burn a few weeks shopping around for vendors and getting it rolled out before you can be up and running. Multiply that cost by every single decision, and you've got a whole lot of distraction hitting you at the most inconvenient possible time.

I don't think it's mental illness alone, since these shootings are almost entirely perpretrated by men. Plenty of women are mentally ill, isolated or lonely, feel powerless, and yet they're not committing mass shootings.

Almost all of the mass shootings were committed by men with a history of domestic abuse and violence. I think the real root cause is entitlement and not seeing other people as humans.

> I think a lot of the rip is from WordPress generally being insecure.

That too - I put adware on my wp-admin pages in the same boat.

I've seen the JSON publishing route and I'm not 100% impressed with how it operates. In most WP situations you want to give people who are non-devs the capability to manage content which local setups like this don't accommodate well.

petty theft, like all theft, is not merely criminal - it is an act of violence and should be treated as such.

Very much like children, people operating at this level of development (god help them) will expand their behaviors to fit into whatever vacuum is present. Your "petty theft" graduates to "petty theft inside a home" which graduates to "petty theft inside a home oops there's a guy here oops now somebody is dead".

"We don't throw poor people in prison just because they had to break into a car to get money for their daily dose of crack."

I am part of that "we" and I say shame. Shame on you for lacking even the basic fortitude to respond to violence. Shame on you for excusing that violence in a bartered exchange for whatever moral permissiveness you, yourself, desire.

> So they introduced a new socket/platform for supporting up to 64 cores, yet still restricted memory to 256GB UDIMMs, instead of switching over to LRDIMM and allowing up to 4TB of RAM.

The only reason all desktops don't support RDIMMs in addition to UDIMMs is market segmentation. The Athlon XP supported both because they were really the same die with the same memory controller as the Athlon MP. They're playing the same stupid game as Intel now but it's nothing new with TR3. They've been doing it since the Athlon 64 or so.

Though it's especially annoying because the "workstation" models (FX/TR) have higher clocks than Opteron/Epyc, so there is no way to combine the higher clocked processors with the higher memory capacity boards.

> And the whole platform is dead the moment DDR5 shows up (2021?).

That happens either way.

You're regarding this as a whole new platform they had to design just for this, but it's more like a little tweak on the existing design with the unfortunate side effect of breaking compatibility.

> Also, no single TRX40 board has more than 4 PCIe slots...

There are boards with four real x16 slots, which is 64 lanes. The other 8 are needed for the on-board devices.

I.e., whatever objects happened to be at hand. I don't think you'd have much luck using a fire extinguisher against someone with an assault rifle.

>Also, since banning guns didn’t actually seem to fix anything

Hmm? There have been no mass killings in schools since the handgun ban. What was anyone expecting it to fix that it hasn't fixed?

Bear in mind that very few British people owned handguns even before the ban (roughly 0.1% of the population), and none of them would have been carrying their guns around while going about their day to day business. One would not expect the ban to have had any great effect on anything - beyond eliminating the specific problem it was intended to address.

This is certainly a need in HPC environments. Think of natgas / big oil, finance, science (protein folding, genetic synthesis, genome research, etc). The cloud simply makes no sense for a lot of these industries. We're talking 20k physical computers and using MPI for their research jobs kind of scale. The cloud is not a good fit for those types of envs where they're using 100% of their compute 100% of the time if at all possible.

Thanks for the reply and all of the great work.

Using django in a notebook is definitely not a typical use case so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Ideally the ORM would be a standalone package that could be used outside of the web server context. (I know sqlalchemy is an option but then you lose all of the benefits of django)
I love the marketing mumbo jumbo:

True rack-scale design, bringing cloud hyperscale innovations around density, efficiency, cost, reliability, manageability, and security to everyone running on-premises compute infrastructure.

How are they going to do this? Buy equipment from other vendors and resell them? Build their own servers from scratch? Nothing in the above paragraph tells me how they plan to be better than any other company right now and why, as a business owner I would want to buy my servers from them.

It's nice to see that the traditional desktop GUI programmers finally realize that the way the Web people do GUIs is right (React/Vue/...) and the way they did it until now (QT/GTK/WPF/...) is wrong.

Many think that the only reason people use Electron is that it's cross-platform, when that is actually a minor benefit. The big one is just how much more better and efficient React/Vue/... are at creating GUIs. I say that as someone who programmed GUIs in pretty much everything, starting with MFC.
