This is a cool idea, can you link to github or wherever the project will eventually land?
what's the use case here that's better than just having separate windows for separate concerns?
This is mostly good advice, but this part is not:

> Go into grad school and pursue a PHD because you've got a burning desire to turn one of your good ideas into a breakthrough. If you don't have such an idea based on your undergrad experience, that's already a warning sign that you shouldn't just go to grad school.

When this happens, I think the person usually realizes the idea is too naive, too small, too vague, too already-studied, etc. to be a good research problem. It generally requires quite a bit of PhD time before even being able to recognize a good idea, and more to have one. Also, most good ideas simply don't lead to breakthroughs; they lead to nice advances at best.

I agree it's a very good idea to know which professors you probably want to work with when you apply. So a burning desire to become expert in a specific area is a very good indicator for a PhD.
This is very cool! I was not aware of Conway polyhedron notation.
This brings to mind Carmen Hermosillo's 1994 essay, Pandora's Vox: On Community in Cyberspace[1].

i have seen many people spill their guts on–line, and i did so myself until, at last, i began to see that i had commodified myself. commodification means that you turn something into a product which has a money–value. [...] i created my interior thoughts as a means of production for the corporation that owned the board i was posting to, and that commodity was being sold to other commodity/consumer entities as entertainment. that means that i sold my soul like a tennis shoe and i derived no profit from the sale of my soul.

Companies used to have plenty of violence, and arguably a monopoly of violence in some contexts, e.g. the massive private armies of the Dutch West India or British East India companies.

Coca Cola has murdered union reps, and fruit companies have used actual government militaries as tools of their own game, too.

Hell, it's a primary trope in cyberpunk -- mega-corps having their own private ninja cyborg army, and with the growth of Iraq-era military contracting, it's not crazy to see that happening.

"By 1803, at the height of its rule in India, the East India company had a private army of about 260,000—twice the size of the British Army"

I wrote a longer response, but realized I probably shouldn't spend much time engaging you. I think you might be trolling, but I also think on this forum we should give other commenters the benefit of the doubt. So in case you're being genuine: Your line of thinking is deeply flawed and I think critically examining it from a different viewpoint might be eye opening.
I've been working on my novel, and learning a new RPG system. I worked on my novel before quarantine too, but I'm trying to speed up my progress. I wrote 2099 words yesterday.
> Maybe you have some suggestions?

I'm probably not the intended "you", but one idea would be a "testimonials"/thanks section in GitHub/GitLab/Gitea, in addition to the standard Issues and Pull/Merge requests.

It'd allow users of the tool/library to express gratitude, give the developer feedback about their creation and possibly even provide inspiration to other users. People could set their own notification preferences, and the UI could make it clear to those thanking that they shouldn't necessarily expect a reply.

The "testimonials/thanks template" could include a suggestion to donate if you've made a commercial product using the software or if you're just a happy end-user.

GitHub is trying out "discussions", but that's far less targeted.

From a personal point of view, I just try to express thanks whenever I otherwise have a substantive point to make (bug report, comment on an issue, but as you point out that doesn't allow for situations where you don't have anything else to say.
It is shocking to me that someone like this could be appointed to and then elected to a state Supreme Court:

Bradley's homophobic writings that she wrote in the Marquette University student newspaper in 1992 while an undergraduate stirred controversy during the race.[8][9] She had written letters to the editor and a column for the Marquette Tribune, in which she stated she held no sympathy for AIDS patients because they were "degenerates" who had effectively chosen to kill themselves. She also referred to gays as "queers".[10][11] She called the plurality of Americans who voted for Clinton "either totally stupid or entirely evil".[12] She blasted supporters of abortion as murderers, and compared abortion to the Holocaust and slavery.[10] She attacked feminists as "angry, militant, man-hating lesbians who abhor the traditional family" and defended Camille Paglia, who had written in a 1991 column that "women who get drunk at frat parties are 'fools' and women who go upstairs with frat brothers are 'idiots'."[13] Bradley wrote that Paglia had "legitimately suggested that women play a role in date rape."[13] Bradley apologized for her student writings in 2016, shortly after they had stirred controversy.[14]

Same thing happens on HN. Comments that go against the kooolaid-driven white saviour ethos of certain VC-backed ideas are often downvoted. Still not as bad as popular Reddit subs though.

There is so much dystopian doublespeak in startup marketing, and people continue to believe it, because not doing so threatens their careers. Of course there are also many startups out there that actually do improve lives, but I wouldn't say it's the majority.
'The "Reddit Contrarian", waiting to snipe your post with their immense intellect'

This one is interesting to me. I could certainly be accused of being this guy, you could probably make an argument that I'm being this guy right now.

We're all here and participating for different purposes, and one of my purposes is to sharpen my writing skills and my rhetoric. Arguing with strangers on the internet is the most effective way of doing this that I've found, that doesn't affect my personal/professional life.

Another thing you mentioned - people with immense issues. We've all got plenty of issues, and one of the best things about commenting anonymously on the internet is that there is no punishment for revealing them.

I think that there are positive perspectives you could take on some of these bullet points
Really?? Maybe you're new to this, but Steam and tipbots (the latter on Reddit as well) have been around for years. Didn't do that much for crypto.

There are other options besides the CFFA. There’s a South Korean guy named Ian Kim who makes the awesome SD Disk ][ emulator. Sell it on ebay. It has the best firmware I’ve used on these types of devices. It has an LCD screen and onboard controls and menus with which you can scroll through all images & select the one you want to load.
> In Firefox, when I press ctrl-tab, it takes me to the most recent tab. In Chrome, this takes me to the next tab.

Coincidentally, this drives me nuts with Firefox and is always the first option I disable. If I open 10 tabs from a single page, I want to be able to cycle through them with the keyboard easily. Having CTRL+Tab go to the most recent tab completely ruins that.

So wait, the GTC keynote which was scheduled weeks/months ago, happens to follow news that Epic dropped with absolutely no warning, and apparently that counts as stealing thunder. Is that really what you are saying?
>That's why Intel realized that fab technology was the true differentiator.

But now the situation is completely reversed. Intel has faced all kinds of problems, costs, and delays due ultimately to the fact that they made a bad choice on their chip architecture but were forced to make it work because they invested so much in the fab.

What TSMC is fabbing for nvidia is working out really well, and if it was not nvidia could walk away without being stuck with billions of dollars of fab facilities they have to own forever.

edit: reversed is the wrong choice of words. It IS all about the fab, but Intel could not/did not accept that maybe someone else had the key differentiator now.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have talked to a two-year old startup with some external advisor telling them to re-platform or move to microservices before they are even profitable. Not saying it never makes sense to do that, but I wish founders would raise their bar on seriously making that a consideration before doing it.

The Zelda games (and Nintendo in general) are the perfect proof that great graphics are about way more than more sophisticated or technically advanced graphics.

Many games on the Switch look way better than generic AAA games on PS4 and Xbox. Granted the Switch games are still somewhat held back by limited hardware.

Personally I'd take Breath of the Wild over some generic UE4 game any day.
Lovely. I love this kind of computer archeology posts.

I'm still sad my dad sold my C64, back in the day, in order to buy me a PC XT clone. I want to travel back in time and tell my dad to keep the C64, that future me would love it. Emulators just aren't the same :/
I have a hard disk emulator and honestly have never used it on the //e. Maybe because very little software back in the day used them.

I don't disagree, we just don't really have any laws that protect free speech on the internet
So the factory is opening back up and he is saying that he will not be paying people who do not show up to work. I understand there is a pandemic but I do not understand why it is on the company to pay people who are not working. The whole premise of a company is that individual work is used collectively to get higher returns than the individuals contribute, if you're not contributing to that collective you don't deserve your portion of the pay from that company. I agree the government needs to step in and help, but the company should not be responsible for paying individuals out of pocket.

The real story here to me is that, depending on your state, you are required to go to a work environment you believe to be unsafe because you'll be kicked off unemployment otherwise. Living in a red state, it seems like we are going to be taking the herd immunity route. Personally, I think we should be supporting high risk individuals and have them quarantine while the rest of society goes back to a quasi-normal. This is based off the rate of asymptomatic individuals being so large that the mortality rate is at least an order of magnitude smaller than previously believed.
This should really have the option to collapse the tabs in each group (only showing the colored dot or group name).
The Origin of the Word ‘Quarantine’
TR worked pretty well. Since coming home from e. Europe two months ago, I’ve been exploring the nearby trails on an almost daily basis. Your website suggested the exact 6 mi hiking route that I enjoyed yesterday! When i cycled through the options for other 6 mile options it became less imaginative and more urban street centric. Still, a good interface and helpful as a reference tool. Thanks!
How to Ask for Technical Help? (2017)
I think they're similar in that as you pointer out they reduce the chance of you shooting yourself in the foot. Perhaps a project using noise for data-in-motion and saltpack for data-at-rest(and before transmission) would involve less foot shooting?
Why so negative? Maybe they were just excited and curious to read it.
Why does it need to be decentralized? It's kind of stupid that just to avoid legal roadblocks like selling a security, Reddit will use a decentralized blockchain instead of just a database. There's no technical reason for it, just legal and political.
> I'd much rather live in Sweden or Germany

Sweden never closed down, and Germany is in the midst of reopening. As to the safety net—there is no evidence that safety net has made a difference. (I’m part, I suspect, because the Us already has a comprehensive safety net for the elderly population that is mainly affected by COVID-19). The death rate in the US, per 100,000 people, is well below that of Sweden. It’s also far lower than the death rate in countries with well developed safety nets like France and Italy.

I strongly suspect that people in Germany/Sweden, etc., have more trust in their government because the people themselves are simply less far apart. To pick a controversial but illustrative example: in Germany the outside limit on abortions is 12 weeks—shorter than in any US state. (Excepting a few “heartbeat law” states where the laws have not yet taken effect.) But within that period, abortions are generally available. No such compromise is possible in America. The right is currently focused on ending abortion entirely, while the left is trying to extend abortions into the third trimester (which are pretty much unprecedented in Europe). Or take taxes. Many in the right want to dismantle the existing tax system. But on the left, they treat lowering corporate taxes to the same level as Sweden or Germany (and France and Canada, etc.) not merely as bad policy, but as an affront to morality and decency.

The same is true for COVID-19. In every European country, there is a grown up debate about balancing health and safety with the need to reopen the economy. The American left, meanwhile, has condemned even the idea of such balancing as racist, classist, colonialism, what have you. The left greeted travel bans—which countries from Germany to New Zealand to Denmark have imposed to great effect—as manifest racism and xenophobia. They’re not talking about reopening, as Europe is already doing, but sheltering in place through the rest of 2020. The right, meanwhile, is shouting “give me liberty or give me death.” There is no trust because everybody is crazy, and everybody hates each other, and we should give up being one country and disband the union already.

This is a great example of why they had to write a python script to delete comments to prevent getting attacked later. People want to throw fits over everything
I think the Haskell saying "avoid success at all costs" is relevant here. Lua might have become a more popular language if it was not so focused on being embed-able. However, it would likely have failed at its goal of being an embed-able language.
First, no, you don't have to send your child to a public school. There are private schools to choose from. A proper education is a right in Sweden, and unfortunately, so many parents do a poor job at homeschooling that it isn't feasible and puts the person at a lifelong disadvantage.

It is a shame that we (Americans) stand for this - the right for a parent to under-educate or mis-educate their children. If one allows for homeschool, there should be robust oversight, which in most states, there isn't.
Quarantine (https://quarantine.softwarerero.com/) models a worst case scenario for getting herd immunity.

Duobiblo (https://app.duobiblo.com/) allows to practice a language showing chapters of the bible side-by-side with a language you already know.

This is one of the best band name generators I've seen.
People currently pay Reddit real actual useful money (dirty fiat) for stupid shit... so if they instead say "You can buy these things for Posting Points, earned whenever you get t3h upd00ts", well, I expect people in poor countries to start posting like mad in the hopes of getting Posting Points which they can resell to Americans and other people with more money than sense.
My concern is what happens when popular-library.io goes down or gets hacked?

Or how about attack vectors like DNS poisoning? or government-based firewalls?

There appears to be much hand-wringing over what a upper level government may do. Why not cede such power to lower level jursdiction where those conditions are mostly closely monitored?

Locally, I see city and county governments taking a tack of making slightly differing decisions regarding what to open and keep closed. For example, my city is keeping parks and playgrounds closed; the county is doing the opposite? Why? each other's data shows the historical use trends and such data plays a large part in making reasonable, responsible descisions.

BTW, I'm in Georgia (US state); while the national media makes it out like we're backwoods country idiots, our local governments are very effective in making reasonable choices. Plus the vast marjority of folks are wearing masks and self-distancing. Most people aren't stupid. They only want the freedom to start their lives back up, plus not depend on the state and national governments for their very survival.

Fair enough. But if "earning a living" includes unprecedented risk to their community then priorities may need to be reconsidered. During world wars great sacrifices were made for the greater good, even when it disrupted ones plans for "earning a living".
Totally agree with all of that. It's probably a matter of outlook; I expect and enjoy some weird uncanny valleying from a humorous ML generator.
Great project. Thanks.
With predictions, I've noticed a trend where a person will appear on TV and make prediction after prediction that are wrong. And they don't seem to feel even a bit shy about making further predictions with apparent certaintity.

Like, they will go on cable news and say, I know about this stuff, and I guarantee that X will happen to Trump by June. And the commentator never says, "but you predicted that he wouldn't actually run for office (wrong), wouldn't win the nomination (wrong) wouldn't get elected (wrong), would get impeached by January (wrong), etc. Maybe you shouldn't be so sure in your predictions?"

Time to Build Without VCs
> Should you review the code of all imported modules? This is virtually impossible.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was exactly the direction that Deno was trying to move towards. Fewer direct dependencies with some amount of transitive trust.

I.e. "[Deno] has a set of reviewed (audited) standard modules"

> Windows CP without SP 2 and Internet explorer bellow 6

I get the point you're trying to make with this hyperbole but browsers still let you view http pages (by default).

> Deno must disable http by defaulkt and provide a flag to re-enable it. This is factually a security issue in Deno.

Again I agree with your idea about disabling by default but there is another perspective (and I think Ryan deserves some empathy).
Yes and no.

When a kludged together demo fails and there's an awkward moment, sometimes a little more prep might be nice.

> So doesn't that imply you need to get Maven set up before you can run a Clojure project?

Not sure what is meant by "get Maven set up". With Clojure it does not involve any additional work, it's just built in to the Clojure runtime, and it goes ahead and fetches your dependencies either when you ask it to, or right before loading your program for the first time.

I think they just use the Maven repositories, as in the servers themselves, not the Maven client software for Java, whatever that may be (I've never used it).
