At a minimum it should be possible to up the baud rate to 19,200 via the terminal's setup menu, I seem to recall that's what the "good" labs had going back in college. Beyond that a simple node.js[1] or python[2] script should be able provide a baud rate limited buffer.

> Wren is a scripting language.

As far as I know "scripting language" doesn't have a widely-agreed upon definition and we should all stop using it.

If anyone were to ask me, I'd say that a "script" is a program that contains a sequence of commands. It executes transiently for some side effect, as opposed to creating a persistent process responding to events.

So for example, bash is clearly a scripting language, and if one is being rude about the appropriate uses for perl, then perl would be too. Python can be use for "scripting" but certainly isn't in general a scripting language by this definition. And I don't really think "scripting language" is a helpful term for Javascript, since it's most important role by far is in as an event-driven persistent process. However, some people (especially old-school C-programmer types) use "scripting language" to mean an interpreted language, I think.

I think for Wren, maybe it's referring to a usage of "scripting" that C programmers associate with Lua?? None of the things it mentions are things that I personally associate with the word "scripting":

> Wren is intended for embedding in applications. It has no dependencies, a small standard library, and an easy-to-use C API. It compiles cleanly as C99, C++98 or anything later.

Or is the idea that both Lua (and thus Wren) and Javascript are "scripting" languages in the sense that they augment an executable written in a "proper" language with additional run-time functionality? If so, then that's interesting but I don't think many people get it (it only occurred to me while writing this) and we should clarify the terminology.

You are literally participating in the canceling of someone because you believe this article without any actual evidence. Don't you see that this is wrong? Maybe you should look at the fact that you are willing to believe this with no real evidence. I would hope that the next time something comes along, you remember this, and before you believe an evidence free post, you do some research, or just remain skeptical. Maybe that's the way we can get out of the mob justice, by trying to trim the mob down.

"Cafferty's firing was wrong because his employer shouldn't have the right to fire him like that."

That is an excellent point. However, countries which do have political instruments that prevent workers from being disposable are not immune to this either.

This US-centric movement has resonated surprisingly strong in the media and social media in Germany, to the point that there were several protests which broke the rules designed to stem the pandemic. This wasn't by any means unique, as several countries in Western Europe were affected.

There's also a deep conflict running in German society between the left (which consider themselves the good guys) and the right (which are considered basically Nazis by the left). The definition of what it means to be right-wing is predictably expanding to encompass relatively minor gestures, comments or actions and the label of right-wing is then applied to more and more people. It is my impression that it's hard to fire someone for being right-wing though, since the courts have reversed such decisions, but there are social consequences.
In general AfD voters are considered right-wing and terrible people. But on the other hand, the AfD enjoyed quite some success in the elections, so what does this tell us about German society?

It seems to me that there's a big disconnect between the media and intellectual elites and the average Joe (or Fritz).
Furthermore, a society which is willing to ostracize a significant number of its own for holding specific opinions instead of working through its differences - like many Western European countries or the US wrongly do - is weakening itself. This is one of the paradoxes of this cancel culture: it's doing away with otherwise productive members of society for minor offenses which objectively do not cause harm. It's essentially a form of ideological cleansing.

In a way, the finance part is the easy part. The borrowers do the research for you, so all you need to do is gatekeep the applications and write cheques. More advanced change, like setting up co-ops, improving relationships with suppliers and buyers, or product diversification to tap into non-local demand, is likely to be much more abstract, require much more hands on intervention, and will by necessity look more like charity work or statecraft than a quantifiable business venture.

Or this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramatorsk_radiological_accide...

In 1989, a small capsule containing highly radioactive caesium-137 was found inside the concrete wall of an apartment building, with a surface gamma radiation exposure dose rate of 1800 R/year.

The source, originally a part of a radiation level gauge, was lost in the Karansky quarry. The gravel from the quarry was used in construction. The cesium capsule ended up in the concrete panel of Apartment 85 of Building 7 on Gvardeytsev Kantemirovtsev Street, between apartments 85 and 52.

Over 9 years, two families lived in Apartment 85. A child's bed was located directly next to the wall containing the capsule. By the time the capsule was discovered, 4 residents of the building had died from leukemia and 17 more had received varying doses of radiation. The accident was detected only after the residents requested that the level of radiation be measured in the apartment by a health physicist. Part of the wall was removed and sent to the Institute for Nuclear Research (NASU), where the cesium capsule was removed and disposed of.

The total number of deaths is alternately reported as 2, 4 (3 children and one adult), or 6 (4 children and 2 adults).

There are other reasons for separating logic into functions besides just keeping it DRY. It's an opportunity to encapsulate concerns and then, in some other place, compose the story poetically and clearly.

Doesn't look very good.
I think some people have a hard time understanding that you, me and others who do this for a living have literally hundreds of ideas - we can see a basic marketplace idea and spin up a dozen variations based on demographics, industry, etc. Without a solid plan of execution/sales, demonstrated industry contacts and ideally some measure of success in this same industry, me executing your idea is statistically a big waste of my time (and may unintentionally end up tying me to you in ways I don't want to be tied). Lots of downside, very little upside.

Now, if you have a huge name and track record... I can get it. Years ago talked with someone who'd done some deals with the 'guerilla marketing' guy (Levinson IIRC). After a while, he was more or less just licensing his name/brand for a cut, but it was worth it because there was already a track record and built-in audience - anything with his name/brand would be guaranteed some degree of sales on day one.

Most people who've approached me with ideas like that haven't had that success. Even in one case where I was working with a guy who had executed multiple businesses and had good success (one 8 figure exit) - we just couldn't work together - our expectations of each other never synced up.

I encourage you to try! However, a lot of gameplay and getting movement controls to feel good is difficult and at odds with the goal of "modularized physics", e.g. you might want to apply different amounts of ground friction depending on whether the player is moving, how they're moving, whether they're holding the jump key, and so on.

Ultimately, we're trying to simplify a large simulation of real-world physics and hundreds of controllable muscles and motor responses trained over a lifetime, down to 5 or 6 keyboard inputs. That means you tend to have such inputs doing multiple things, and it's often hard to make separable.
Not justifying it. I'm suggesting that it came to be over a lack of resources and people tried to adapt to what they could do to solve the problem.
Computers can be made to understand base 10 though, if needed. We do so routinely when amounts of money are involved so a cent is a cent, even though 1/100 is nonterminating as a binary fraction.

I think Arkhangelsk being involved seems likely. The Russian ship "Akademik Aleksandrov" aka Project 20183 was apparently in that area recently[1], and seems obviously related to Poseidon[2]. If the source of the radiation were a Poseidon, that would certainly explain the secrecy.

As for claims of the fission products coming from a "civil source", I don't think enough is known about Poseidon's reactors to rule that out. I could be wrong, but as far as I've read the details of that reactor are up in the air (besides being small, obviously.)

This resonated, especially the bit about being particularly militant with smartphone use. I'm now 2 years into using a dumb phone (I have a smartphone on WiFi at home but my sim is in a dumb phone).

The control you have on desktop is considerably greater than on mobile, so my strategy has been to avoid social, email, news on the small screen and instead do this on desktop where I can use better time and attention management tools like getfocus to ensure I'm not distracted.

I wrote about it here [https://variousbits.net/2018/05/11/im-happier-without-a-smar...]. I should write again now, 2 years down the line. Some stuff has changed (dumb phone is now a CAT, I'm now without any social media at all and CV19 has provided some interesting challenges) - but I'm still basically doing the same thing.

My fundamental reasoning is that I live in an astonishingly beautiful bit of the world, I have wonderful kids and wife, and my life is basically superb. To be interrupted by some bullshit notification when I could be looking at my wife or the sea or a sunset is essentially what I'm trying to avoid, and my strategy basically works.
It's a plain false representation of postmodernism.

Scientifically speaking, what is the most probable estimate of how this emerged? From the news (and I know it's hyper sensationalized, so YMMV) it feels like this virus attacks the body in bizarre ways we have never seen from the coronavirus family before.

Were those earlier theories that it was made / escaped from a lab thoroughly debunked, or has there been more evidence since then? I know that WIV released a genome very close to SARS-CoV-2 (RatG-13) that supposedly came from the SARS-CoV-1 bat cave, is it highly likely that cave was the origin for SARS-CoV-2 as well?
For me as well, it's not working in Chrome or Firefox. Seems archive.org has a earlier copy that is working (https://web.archive.org/web/20200623163509/https://design.gs...) Unsure if that's the actual font though, and I'm too lazy to verify.

This license doesn't work in Japan for the result of font rendering is not protected by the copyright.

It was decided in the court that in order the shape to be recognized as a character, that shape must follow the pattern we generally agree upon. The copyright is granted for the expression that reflect the human thought, if the shape can be recognized as a character, there is limited human thought left.

I think that's a fair argument.

I agree with the gist of your post, but one positive about single use functions is that you can be explicitly clear about data visibility.

In this contrived example, you can tell that formatting a title is not affected by user preferences, but formatting the body is. (And additionally that formatting a body has no information about the other fields of an entry)

def formatRssFeedEntries(userSettings: UserSettings, data: List[Entry]) {
val titles = data.map(entry => formatTitle(entry.title))
val bodies = data.map(entry => formatBody(entry.body, userSettings))
...

As a software consultant with decade worth of experience, I've seen non-technical founders getting ripped off and getting substandard product. It's generally because, while they do have a clear vision of what they want, they do not have the ability to gauge the skill set of the agency/freelancer they are dealing with. In one case, despite paying full, my client didn't have access to the code and the agency became hostile when they started to feel the client slipping away. We had to send legal notice to get access to the code.

Here are some tips:

1. Check for their LinkedIn profile and actually do attempt to talk with their clients. Do your research well, cold email should work.

2. See how old their clients are and if they are still in business. Substandard product reduces the probability of the project to succeed.

3. Involving external consultants to help you evaluate the Agency/Freelancer suited for your business. They would provide unbiased opinion which would help a lot.

4. Always go slow, it might even make sense to comission 5-10% of the project and see how they perform. It reduces your overall ridk.

5. Check their GitHub account for open source projects to gauge on technical competency.

6. If you can't afford an architect, I'd still recommend getting few hour worth of their time to sense how the project is progressing technically. They would assist like a consulting CTO.

There are scammers everywhere, the onus is on us to be diligent.

Shameless plug: I run an agency, email in my profile. Do send me an email if you need any help.
I've come across a couple of instances of this over the past couple of weeks. Not sure what to make of it.

This is absolutely not true. It's just not their main revenue stream. That doesn't mean they don't collect and monetize your data in one way or another.
Unfortunately, it actually takes _months_ to send bank confirmations and receive all the replies. Mad, I know but that’s the way it worked when I used to do it. The process involves sending snail mail to the banks who take ages to respond with the confirm response. Especially so because all auditors are sending them at the same time because it’s year end.

There are some web platforms to help speed things up but most were and maybe still are rubbish.

After reading up on Mr Moon for only two minutes, e.g. at https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms, Mr Moon really shouldn't be too surprised that he's unemployable.

In my opinion, you have to present at least a minimum level of decency towards society in order to take part in society, of which being employable is one facet. By running Kiwi Farms, Mr Moon simply doesn't reach this level imho.

If you give people cash they might stop farming and import food instead. Once the handouts are over people won't be able to feed themselves because their country is not exporting enough to import food.

There is nothing wrong with importing food but it would have to be conditional with a guarantee that e.g. USA is importing goods from Kenya for every dollar Kenya spends on importing goods from USA. The trade imbalance would have to be in favor of Kenya.
