It takes a fair amount of delta-v to "drop" something from Lunar orbit to Earth. It also takes a long time to reach its target. Accurate targeting would be a challenge without active guidance. Even hitting a city would be a bit tricky, and if you're firing projectiles that can flatten large areas such that you don't need accurate targeting everyone's gonna treat that like a nuke, so you may as well just use nukes. I find it hard to believe the costs of establishing and maintaining even an automated Lunar launch system of this sort would be anywhere near worth it, compared with many other options.

I find flexbox has a small, easy to learn and teach api that allows you to do almost any kind of web app layout that you would need to do, exceptions being grids and tables.

Css Grid is less intuitive but they do make grid gutters much much easier.

Most of the time I reach for flex box. Only when I'm doing a guttered grid would I reach for css grids.

With how hard it is to get a companies UI devs on the same technology and patterns, flexbox is an easy standard to coordinate around.

Not to mention it's better supported.

On the face of it, my impression is that excommunication, if it happens, is more likely to be caused by the author being burdensome to deal with, than code forking per se.

Of course the author is unlikely to present it that way.

And although I felt the author was moralising in this critique, it may be they are not particularly rude the rest of the time. But even writing a plethora of well-reasoned but difficult to handle posts about what's wrong with your project can be too much.

Well-established languages, platforms and projects such as Linux that have a large labour pool with socially-established patterns of working don't have the same problem, because there's enough labour to deal with it.

Smaller projects just have to turn people away when they become hard work beyond the capacity of the project's core maintainers to handle it, though.

The solution found via FLOSS is to license software so that forking is always possible when a project cannot sustain different visions for the project's direction. This diffuses the tension when people have incompatible needs from the project. Sometimes it comes with drama, particularly if people are competing for attention and trying to persuade others to follow them, but that seems inevitable because of the competition.

It is still understood that forking is permitted and intended to be part of the solution, and the social niceties are that you may be encouraged, perhaps strongly, to go away and run your own fork yourself with your own resources, under a new name/domain/etc. while acknowleging where it came from. Then it's your own job to build a reputation too; it's only fair.

It's very difficult to keep running a project while your competition lingers on the same mailing list, constantly funnelling people towards their fork in the hope of making it more popular. That's a very good reason to "excommunicate" some people, or to forbid some topics such as advertising the other project repeatedly.

You could offer more than just "you don't know, and you don't understand". You could offer some knowledge and understanding.

It's fine to complain that critics of postmodernism don't understand it. But to not then explain looks a lot like hiding from criticism. "You don't understand, but I'm right and you're wrong" is not a productive conversation. It's smug arrogance that assumes its own superiority but won't actually engage with critics.

What would they do? I'm not sure there's an actual threat to follow through on. They can't block a forked compiler from, for example, using official packages without close-sourcing their own compiler (to prevent it from bringing in whatever change makes it work again).

At that point, why bother respecting the threat? A forked compiler isn't going to get maintainers? A package depending on the forked compiler isn't going to be maintained? The social cost is possibly something to think about, but if one is set on leaving the community anyways then it's a choice between you choosing to not interact with the community and them (possibly!) choosing to not interact with you.

You're missing the most important factor - the trillions of dollars being injected into the market, and into various companies by the Fed, with no due diligence as to whether or not they will be spent well.

When there's so much stupid money being pumped into the system, why would the fundamentals, like unemployment, lack of consumer demand, gdp contraction, expected dividends, etc, etc, matter?

We could all be out of work, trading bottlecaps for packets of ramen for the next year, but as long as the fed keeps printing a million dollars for every 3 unemployment claims, the markets will be soaring.

(I should point out that because the USD is a world reserve currency, and has very large amounts of it in circulation, this won't even result in hyperinflation.)
Two things can be true.
Maybe with a uselessly broad definition of "luck", as in "lucky to be born at the right time for software to be a viable career" or "lucky to be alive, the dead can't earn any money at all".

But if you think that successful engineers are only successful because they just magically got hired one day, and if they never learned any science, math, or got an engineering degree and put in zero or near-zero effort they would have had the same odds of been hired, that's just not a logical argument. Same goes for other professions.

We all start with the hand we're dealt by the universe, but it is possible to improve one's odds quite substantially given time and good decisions (that's arguably the definition of a "good decision").

PureScript is wonderful. But it's a very steep learning curve if you don't already know Haskell, and the documentation tends to lag quite a bit behind the language.

> Imagine mathematicians calling commutative groups abelian? How do you remember if xy=yx there?

Actually, even if you ignore jerf's response, this is different in an important way from the "Type I" / "Type II" terminology.

Group in which the group operation is commutative: "Abelian group".

Group with no guarantees except the group axioms: "group".

The special one is marked and the non-special one is unmarked. In contrast, the designations "Type I" and "Type II" are parallel; it's not at all obvious which one is the default and which one deviates from the default.
Looks great! I see you're working with a small backyard, which explains the weird 17x6.5 foot dimensions, but I like the space in which you fit your shed.

For anyone else looking to build a shed, I recommend sticking with dimensional lumber defaults (generally, multiples of 4 feet) and going as big as your space and local licensing allows. Check your local laws, but in many townships in the US, you can build a 200 sqft accessory building before you have to deal with permits and all that rigamarole. Rather than selecting odd numbers, build something 12x16 = 196 square feet.

The biggest upgrade I'd recommend to make the thing a lasting enhancement to your property rather than something the next occupant will want to tear out would be to pour a concrete slab foundation.
Through friends, I've become a little acquainted with the art industry and how collections happen and get shown in the most general terms.

I feel like Etsy used to be a place where individual creators created things… and now it's mostly used by industry professionals with a specific vibe or aesthetic feel.

Is the thing that distinguishes Art in Res from something like Artsy that you're buying directly from the artist? How do you all plan to deal with, for example, galleries that might want to use or abuse this platform?

The terminology is irrelevant. If you have certain expectations from the open source communities (among the diversity of possibilities that are open source) the narrative of what happened (especially with regards to being considered persona non grata if you fork) are worth knowing about.

Just a general recommendation: for math/physics/CS it's far more useful to work through problems than memorize facts. I'll use linear algebra as an example since that shows up often in your cards.

Say you want to learn about eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Instead of writing the definition, you might have a card which asks the following:

"Create a matrix whose eigenvectors or eigenvalues are always equal."

This will force you to do two things. First, you will learn from creating the card since you're forced to synthesize the information rather than copy. Second, your recall will force you to work through this newly created problem.

Another general strategy is to just pick a problem from a book that uses the concept. If you ever get the problem wrong, you oblige yourself to solving an additional related problem from the same book (i.e. find the basis of one of the following matrices).

I guarantee you will learn 10x more effectively.

Also beware of falling victim to spending more time on building tools than learning... I've found that pencil and paper go a lot farther than people give credit.
a very good questions indeed, but that means you need certify lots of kernel crypto modules for whatever wireguard depends on, redhat has fips-140 kernel so I assume it will do something similar to wireguard, as redhat will want to sell this to governments etc
When I wrote my first Qt-based code, it still was Trolltech. C++ seemed the obvious choice for a performant application.

But now, I think that C++ is more of a drawback than an advantage for the Qt project. C++ today seems a good fit for high-performance, very niche tools such as trading, games, machine learning libraries, and such, but not for "simpler" software such as the UI of an application. Also finding good competent C++ devs seems to be much harder now. I myself feel like having to go "back" to writing C++ is a bummer, having worked with other more modern technologies.

Bindings to other languages have always been a second-class citizen. The Python one is very nice, though, but that's all. I believe it comes, again, as a difficulty introduced by the language itself.

In my house I know exactly where the exits are, I know where it's safe to egress given what's on the other side of windows, I know where flammable materials are, I know where the fire extinguishers are, I know where the breaker box is, etc etc. Commercial hotels are built in a way so they minimize tragedy in the event of a fire and people can just exit without thinking. Residential has a completely different set of standards. So yes, to answer your question.
Unfortunately, it's not. There is almost no problem that requires searching through some complex enough space for a specialized language be worthy its use, and yet have a small enough search space for zero knowledge depth-first search to be viable. (Database querying may be the one large problem, there are some comments about Datalog already.)

There are some modern Prolog versions that try to use some better searching algorithms, but the language hinders that change.

I have a much less nuanced view of "postmodernists" [1]; without fail, every single person I know who's really leaned into any form of "postmodernism" and would describe themselves as such is depressed, nihilistic, and functionally not very useful. They typically don't participate in things I think are fundamentally necessary for society (namely food production and distribution, construction, medicine, and law), and many are also anti-natalist. On the whole I find that their social circles are filled with self-aggrandizing narcissists. (Not unique to philosophy, of course.)

I realize that criticizing a theory based on its adherents is puerile, but I can't help but notice that on the whole I find everything that comes from "postmodernists" to be distasteful and damaging to the "uneducated" person's mental well-being. Their architecture is bleak and divisive; their music is grating and non-melodic; their art is challenging and uncomfortable, and their philosophy is bleak and depressing.

[1] = I have put "postmodernists" and "postmodernism" in quotes because it seems pretty difficult to actually define what it is and who believes in it.

Decentralized systems that use append-only logs (which includes but is not limited to blockchain stuff) need the equivalent of a 'git rebase' to purge history.

Like lwalton says, this is very difficult to do without centralizing authority, as a rebase is a fork, and so you need the whole community to rebase/fork simultaneously. This is a big deal if all data is in the same place.

One approach is to break these logs apart, e.g. per-user, like Cabal does it. Instead of replicating one giant log, you replicate many small logs. As a user, you can choose which logs you want to store, replicate, and which contribute to your materialized view. Or, you can delegate this work to a moderator you trust, who in turn may subscribe to other moderators or blacklists to inform their moderation.

In this way, there's no centralized authority - everyone is their own authority. Writing the user-facing moderation tools is important work, but is a relatively well-understood problem.
Insightful. Was thinking about this recently. I find meetings are usually “make a decision”, “give updates”, or “show a demo”. For decision making, have been trying to optimize that workflow with teammates all over the world and not everyone having the time or not loving textual communication.

Seems like a master decision record in confluence, discussing finer points in a private slack channel, and demo and tie-breaking plus sync with busy or non text thinkers with ad hoc video meetings works well together. Another thing is quick prototypes of ux or architecture designs in codesandbox.

These all work well, but it would be great to have less overhead. Even on a small team though there are so many gaps it feels impossible to reconcile without all these.

Anyone have a team decision making workflow for spinning up new projects that is more efficient?
That depends on how you define junior. Some people define that as less than certain years of experience on a resume. Some people define it in technical terms, in scope of particular competencies, or terms of interview performance.

Since there is no uniform definition of competence my personal definition is anybody who does this job but either advocates fear of writing original code or who cannot write any code without a superficial abstraction (jQuery, React, Angular) is a junior regardless of years of experience. I also know there are a lot of people who disagree with that definition.
It's still worth knowing that they're being jerks about it, since that falls outside of the social (but obviously not the legal) aspects of open source.
