There is no such system that doesn't have budget shortfalls. Blaming it on profits is implies that non-profits don't have shortfalls. The California incident proves otherwise.

The Washington State public schools have been angling to be "fully funded" ever since I remember. Being fully funded would solve all their funding issues. They finally got it. The ink wasn't dry on the legislation before they said that wasn't going to be nearly enough.
Domestic demand as well. Sweden hasn't formally closed wide ranges of things, but many Swedes have chosen to avoid them anyway. For example, restaurants are open, but their business is way down.
I just want to encourage you - traditional employees are soon to be a thing of the past. The future will be filled with business entrepreneurs and those who love their vision and support them with their skills. So I encourage you to stick to your idea, grow your vision and dreams, and learn anything you can that leads you to your goals. Network and grow your team. Sometimes the closest people in your life are a drain - they don't have the experience to see what you see and believe it is possible. But youtube is filled with incredibly talented people who can teach you the principles of business, strategy, mindset, and almost anything else. So seek out those who you wish were your mentors, and absorb everything you can. Think big, believe anything is possible and don't let anyone bring you down!
It's not correct. Half the room is dedicated to demo scene and gaming is not tolerated. Assembly itself is many things now, with world class eSports arena, sales fair, boothbabes, demo scene arena, temporary TV broadcast studio and so on.

For other demo parties, smaller demo parties there is no gaming and the experience is exactly the same as it was back in the early 90s.
We are effectively out of free, unallocated IPv4 addresses. All of them are owned by a non-regulatory authority. If any of those entities want to sell some of their IPs, or their block, they are free to do so, and it happens all the time. But if you wanted to go to ARIN and ask for an IP or a block, you are out of luck.

Not only because they need to be paid but also because they give leverage to the employee.

You can see this in action with the healthcare system in the US, being dependent on your employer for healthcare gives them a huge leverage over an employee, business (on average) will always fight against policies that remove their leverage towards a more equal field.

I built something similar for my latest webapp to validate json-requests in python, the syntax is like this:

{
"content": Required(str),
"username": Required(str, validate=username_is_ok, transform=lambda x: x.lower(),
fail_message="Username isn't valid"),
"message": Optional(str),
"some_list": Required({
"name": Required(str),
"date": Required(str)
}, is_list=True)
}

Then I can provide this in a hook to the request method.
That sounds right. But it's my impression that the Taiwanese aren't much like old China. They went from Japanese occupation to ROC occupation.

That's all true, but it's only true if you're making thousands of them a year, not hundreds. Much of what was stamped could be machined instead, you use stamping for economy and labor savings.

WE Hawthorne Works in Chicago was similarly large, and to build in quantity you'd need it to be just as large now, but to build a couple hundred strowger switches a month? Not as large.

The hardest part of bootstrapping to 1930 is making copper wire - doubly so for wire suitable for electrical coils.

I have found that founders like to optimise and exercising and rest are key. I find if I have a good nights sleep and exercise I can be a lot more productive. I might add some studies in there to show it.
A solid summary, and here is one other point that helps explain the passion:

2006: Smartphones were boring.

2007-2010: Smartphones become magical. The pinnacle, or close to, of the 3.5 inch phone is developed in the iPhone 4.

2010+: Phones smaller than 4.5 inches disappear; by the same magic that they used to appear.

For the people who want a 3.5 to 4 inch phone, such as myself, paradise was basically snatched away. I know they can make them, I know they run every app I care about, and they are no longer available for purchase. I want an iPhone 4. I'd settle for an iPhone 5 or similar form factor. Instead they've disappeared and best-case is maybe there is some Android phone that has the right dimensions and is probably poorly fabricated because it is targeting people on a budget.

The issue isn't even entitlement, it that the form factor situation is backsliding from where it was when I was happiest. It is infuriating.
Yes, the type system is clearly not well integrated.

My point is, I'd rather have a not so perfect one when I need it, that None at all.

I have a limited understanding of this but I think the goal is to have a complete developer ecosystem. When most software was deployed to Windows desktops, they owned the developer environment - Visual Studio.

Now most software is written and deployed on the cloud, but not their cloud. But they could make the dev experience compelling and easy - write your code in VS Code, which automaticallgy integrates with Github. Github is mostly free until you're a large company so why not use it. Of course you need to run CI and Github makes that easy so go ahead and add a single file to configure that.

Now you have a build artifact ready to deploy on github. Would you like to click a single button and have that deployed to Azure? They'll also throw in monitoring if you do it. Azure bills is the pot of gold at the end of the developer experience rainbow.

But this is just speculation. I don't understand business very well.
The conspiracy theorists are going to come out hard for this article.
I lay the blame with the arcane and inconsistent design patterns in nixpkgs, and with the usability of the nix toolset. for instance, a number of times I've had packages fail to build due to 404s. I first tried to git clone nixpkgs and fix it there, but I had to set it up as a channel for that to work. next I wasted a day setting up an overlay, but I couldn't get the hang of the self: super: construct. finally I found that for this package it had a flag I could pass for a custom source package, but another package didn't have that, so I had to use overrideAttrs and worry about what builder phase that would apply to etc. etc.

I shouldn't have needed to do this anyway - the nix team should run a mirror for external URLs, except there's no way I see to tell nix to use a mirror without editing all the URLs to point there.

making mirroring bots or connectors to other package indexes, e.g. npm2nix, is a painful experience. it's also frustrating to have to inline bash scripts to build packages.

one of the things Guix got right that Nix didn't, IMO, was using a capable language where implementing these patterns is easy, and using guile scheme instead of bash to actually build the packages. a Guix-like OS with the breadth of nixpkgs would take over the world - I hope both projects can learn from each other.
I don't trust ssds for long term storage, and I'm mortified on the experience when they die from one second to the other.

Ssds are fine for speed, but for storage... maybe one day.
Why? It's quite likely they don't own the cars outright. People were encouraged to take our car loans and have repayments to make, and the US has constructed its cities in such a way that cars are essential.
Yeah the Samsung S20 Ultra barely scored a mention. My 512GB model features 16GB of memory, and a staggeringly beautiful display. Not to mention that camera..

really? I thought they would be more expensive in the long run since the battery will be degraded in 10 or so years to the point where you would have to constantly charge them

I suppose it depends on what brands of wired headphones you would normally buy but it would probably be cheaper to just reinforce the part that keeps breaking on you
> I find that often tech people replace an entire personality with video games / following the latest tech releases / anything related to their job. Almost all "water cooler chat" at tech companies is what game they played on the weekend, what the latest steam sale is, what the latest tv show is, what new programming language they're learning. Like, please. Can we talk about something else?

Interesting. I've worked at plenty of companies and I rarely met people like that. Maybe it's an American quirk (I've mostly worked in Europe) or perhaps it's specific to tech companies? I've mostly worked in non-tech (government, banking, telcos, with some simple web startups) and people there are fairly well-rounded. It may be that big tech is selecting for the biggest brainiacs in their hiring process, and being a brainiac correlates with having a one-dimensional personality? I've certainly meet a couple of people like that when interviewing at some of tech's household names.
What stops you from using graphics in shared org files?
Yeah, if they, as a family, made $198K last year and filed jointly then they won't get a check. But I think you'll agree that it'd be ridiculous to shovel money to families making $200K+ a year. For single earners the cutoff is 99K.

Lower-income Twitter is jubilant at this development, BTW. Something they'll remember in November for sure. And the check is not conditioned on whether you're still employed (which most people are).

TL;DR: a lot of people who are still working are getting what to them is a substantial amount of money. They'll be spending it.
We use the same design in the big brother for 5" propellers and double the weight of ArduBee. We make this development for our main focus about performative drone for swarm choreographies, its 2 years working with the fleet testing everyday to improve the quality of the performance. We had a lot of crashed indoor, and the pcb never had serious harm. We do not race obviously or high speed onto the wall!

I think we can still use it as gateway, specially if we introduce younger generations to coding in ESP286, ESP32, Arduino, Microbit based game consoles.

Lua, MicroPython, TypeScript, JavaScript can play the introductory role of Basic in those days.

Followed by .NET (micro), TinyGo, C, C++, Rust, FreePascal as the next level.

>I once saw some Microsoft guys demo something cool at a conference, and they had to basically apologize that they were from Microsoft

Microsoft, "the people" were never bad. They did a lot of cool things, they had great coders and scientists. The upper management did bad things, and made poor decisions, guys like Ballmer and business strategists.

With the new management things changed a lot and I hope Microsoft will keep up at doing good things.

Not all things are rosy: desktop development with MS tools suck, they changed framework after framework, Windows Forms and WPF aren't cross platform, C++ desktop programming is still Windows only, and not Visual at all. I don't get why the naming: "Visual C++" since QT or C+= Builder are much more "Visual" than MFC and Winapi.

But I guess desktop doesn't bring MS too much money so they don't care enough about it. If that's the case, I don't get why they don't promote and support a third party, cross platform development framework like Uno or Avalonia.

Including the vacuum tube, you just need glassblowing equipment and a good vacuum pump, and some other specialized tools. That said, the first voice transmissions used either alternators or high speed rotary spark gap transmitters.

Another thing is audio amplification can be done without tubes or transistors, you can use a mechanical amplifier which is literally a transducer that is mechanically coupled to a carbon microphone, and a local power source (battery) making it possible to build analog phone lines that run several hundred miles without tube type amps.

Honestly I just go with whatever's cheapest for a given target capacity (which, judging by my Amazon and Newegg purchase history, would be the Crucial MX500 and Kingston V300). Any SSD's almost always "fast enough" for my purposes (even with SATA instead of NVMe), and Kingston and Crucial have both been consistently reliable enough that I haven't felt the need to splurge much (and if they do fail... well, that's what RAID's for, right?).

Both the desktop on which I'm typing this comment (my personal "gaming" rig) and my work laptop (a Thinkpad T470) are using Crucial MX500s (1TB, M.2); the former has a couple extra M.2 slots, so I'm considering migrating to a Crucial P1 + Kingston A2000 combo (thus biting the bullet and switching to NVMe, and getting RAID going on this machine). Most of my 2.5" purchases tend to be Kingston V300s unless the MX500 happens to be cheaper (e.g. most recently for an old XP computer I'm rebuilding for a family friend) or I'm specifically buying both for the aforementioned purpose of RAID diversification (which is a bit tricky, since Crucial and Kingston use different increments for capacity, but I'm also perfectly willing to pull a bit of a SSD "no-no" and use the leftover space on whichever drive for a swap partition, or else just let the space sit unused, or perhaps use it for temporary files where I don't care about any sort of data preservation).

In any case, no complaints with any of 'em. I haven't tried the P1 or A2000 yet (let alone Kingston's pricier KC2000), so I can't attest to those, but the MX500 and V300 have both proven to be reliable workhorses.

I'll definitely be sure to try Samsung again at some point; the first SSD I ever bought was a Samsung (at Fry's), and I had pretty awful experiences with it, but that was back when SSDs were a pretty new concept so I'm guessing things have generally improved.
That's what I use for my personal stuff that I do. I like being able to cut and paste to reprioritise, etc. Also, when planning, having a real editor makes things go so much more smoothly. However, for people who are consumers rather than producers of the plan, I have found considerable friction about removing their drag and drop, table oriented UI.

I've often thought about writing a trello-like whose backend was simply markdown or org-mode files that was versioned in a real version control system. There is nothing in the Trello UI that really precludes it (and in fact, there was at one point a program that allowed you to talk to the trello API and grab/push org-mode oriented data from Emacs -- I never found it worked particularly well, though).
Yes, you're on point. I once thought people's life where worth something because they are people, but I came to dispel this illusion. The illusion stems from our natural in-group preference, giving things that are similar to us a higher value. Animals aren't really like us, but the more similar they are to us, the higher we value them. Just look at the different treatment insects, fish and mammals receive from us. Or the different treatment plants and animals receive. Or stones and plants. The more similar something is to us, the higher we value it. It's an ingrained survival strategy, I assume.

Vegetarians extend this in-group preference to animals, but not to plants. I've once watched an interesting series about how a Vampire secretly turned more and more people of a village into his own kind. Most didn't have a problem hunting humans after the change, but there was one character who chose to starve and die instead of drinking the blood of humans. That left a deep impression on me. So now I'm thinking, if you don't sacrifice your own life for your ideals, are your ideals even worth anything? If you want poor people to receive money, but don't want to transfer all your own wealth to them, aren't you just a hypocrite?

It's true that not everyone chases after money, but it's undeniable that lots of money equals power. If you don't partake in the competition, you can't win. You might succeed in deceiving yourself and others, but you won't wield the power of money. There are other forms of power, of course, like religion or other organizations, for example companies or countries. But even then, if you strive for the top of any of those, you'll naturally amass more money than the people at the bottom of the hierarchy. If you don't want the responsibility that comes with wielding such power, all you can really do is live in peace and hope that the powers that be leave you alone. You don't have any initiative and also no right to complain.

There's this saying that power corrupts, but I don't think that's the truth of it. Power only reveals your true character. Like the character from the story I mentioned, who received the power of being a vampire, but chose to starve himself to death.
