Since you can write arbitrary JS in extensions, no reason why that couldn't be implemented by a library.

Since I just got into MediaWiki and write my first extension (finally a dark-mode that works), I'll see if this can be implemented. Perhaps with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Upload.
Well, it's no so much 'good riddance' (we really want you to stay) as we're all glad the awkward political tug of war is over and we all know where we stand. Even if it isn't where we would have liked to, at least we can try and move on. As for the UK: A large part of their economy is based on a service industry, compounded by being the traditional gateway between the US and Europe. The rise of China, the stumbling of the US, the isolationist movement of the UK, draconian internet legislature and the EU being forced to pull together by Covid19 all undermine this classic business hub model.
Super cool. Already saw this on Github actually. It'd be awesome if it supports remote containers as well.
>At this point, the insane choice is the inevitable choice

At this point I am beginning to wonder what is behind the pattern.

Are we witnessing the failure of governments acting in the best national interests because they have finally become fully subverted from within by selfish forces? A common pattern to the madness in the US and the madness in the UK is that an inner circle stand to get very rich from all the goings-on.

"I'm merely saying that the overwhelming majority of the insinuations and accusations that people come up with about it lead to precisely nothing when we investigate. It's like flipping a coin and having it come up tails a thousand times in a row: you start to look for simpler explanations, and there are clear, simple explanations for why this might be."
It'll be interesting to see if the NBA starts back up, if some of the players who had COVID have issues just making laps up/down the courts. I wonder if the 'weaker' or 'long-term effected' players might take sabbaticals or sit-out a season or two or retire altogether.
Some realities manifest at different scales. Once you're in the largest tier, the "where is the money" reality affects things.

Large corporations are the larger, wealthier segment.

A big chunk of "startup business strategies" ignore this market. This makes a lot of sense for a startup. You don't really care what the bigger market is as a startup, you care what market is easier to access. Assuming the market is big (eg online payments), the size of the market isn't a limiting factor.

That works in-context. I'f you're trying to build a startup, landing a multi-year contract with a big company is a bad angle for multiple reasons. Not always, but mostly in the generic case. Long sales cycles. Checklist feature demands. Custom features. Besides being hard for most founders, it pushes in the wrong directions. Meanwhile, who cares if you're addressing a $3bn market or a $800bn market. Both of those are big enough for a startup aiming for $8m in revenue. Your problem is sucking and failure, not pyrrhic victories.

Also, if you are successful enough, small markets become big markets. When Google IPO-ed, they competed with yellow pages for mom-n-pop business & such.

OTOH, most of the market is large companies, governments, etc. That's reality, and it means something. Now that VCs fund startups so generously, a common pattern is bootstrapping in a shallow pond... then jumping into the main pond once you have momentum.

EG, Having a "developer cult" mentality, like stripe, at your base will serve you in the long term. Enterprise developers do have influence. It's never what makes a decision, but it can be a favourable wind.
Thats the other problem with Brexit, you might not be able to take advantage of remote if you are in UK as EU has fairly strict data protection laws regarding its citizens.

An alternative to the html model for building websites. The html model is antiquated for building web apps, and inconsistent across various browsers x platforms. The direction of the spec imo is becoming an overengineered mess that is increasingly controlled by the Google (see portals and web packages).

You should trust your reasoning, that is, the deliberate process/method by which you arrive at conclusions, but you should be constantly seeking score your levels of uncertainty, and, yes, falsify your hypotheses and disprove your theories. Your reasoning, however, should be well trained, reliable, and trustworthy. We should have a high level of confidence in our methods/procedures.

“
[T]hat core thing of: are you good at thinking probabilistically is a bigger thing than you think.

And then on top of that, you have to be somebody who’s really interested in understanding when the things you believe are inaccurate. And you have to be so incredibly hungry to collide with corrective information. You have to be openminded to the corrective information.

You have to be updating your beliefs constantly, and I think that you just have to be willing to have less endowment to your own beliefs and hold those really loosely because you have to keep this end goal in mind. I’m not trying to win this hand. I mean, I am, but I understand that there’s all sorts of things that might intervene in my ability to do that. I’m trying to win in the long run.

And the worst thing that I could find out is that I believed something was true and held onto that belief too long, so it affected my bottom line. You just have to be thinking that way all the time. And then you have to be willing to try to solve for it.

It feels anecdotally correct. Consider things like depression as a result of bereavement or child birth (for women). Insomnia , anxiety , etc. So many ways to be “mentally ill” temporarily.

That said it does seem that the extreme prevalence of something over a long period of time makes dubious the claim that it is a “mental illness”.

It feels like treating people as defective for falling over because they don’t have 3 legs ...
It's been some time I've worked with web payments (back in 2003 or so when 3DSecure/UCAF was new which would bring up your card issuer's site in an iframe within your shop site, which still looked fishy), but I've always thought a payment infrastructure/comprehensive standard should be mandated by government, on similar legal grounds that a currency is issued in the first place, and for protecting access to the market (the EU already puts strong and maybe disproportionate reporting duties due to MiFid/MiFid2 for deposits, with unclear benefits). Though I'm not very sure, as a payment provider has to do costly things for fraud/money laundering/deposit protection.
Well, as a user for rendering/phyiscs at least I started to like the use quaternions instead of vectors because some operations are just plainly easier and can remove the need to apply them in a certain order compared to vectors. This is from practical experience when the heavy math is abstrated away.

Numerical math was scrapped in my naive CS math curiculum, but I think some operations here have a greater numerical stability for practical purposes.

Heavily reminds me of the pi/tau debate, or proponents of the dozenal system. This is what professinal attachment can do to you.
I just started implementing checkout in Rails on a side project and the step by step docs don't cover CORS and CSP. I get a bunch of errors.

My current diet is:

* Run a modest calorific deficit with plenty of moderate exercise.

* Optimise food intake for reasonably stable blood sugar levels.

Goes against the current orthodoxy of keto or intermittent fasting#, but so far, so good. Main thing is that high or low blood sugar swings can lead to hunger pangs or sluggishness, this seems to predict excess eating.

# so I've named this diet 'The Unpopular Diet'... :-)

Yes, you can licence it however you want because you are the copyright holder. See mongodb. IANAL. Licences are to restrict those who do not hold copyright.
That's not how licensing works. If you write the software, you can release it under any license(s) you want. The license states the terms under which you'll let others use the software.
My running hypothesis is that many people see open source as a way to avoid dealing with upstream developers.

If I "pip install" a package which brings in a lot of other packages, I don't need to have any relationship with any of those developers. It Just Works.

I don't have to know about their projects, find their web sites, read their calls for funding, learn their licensing options, etc. I don't have to worry about billing. It Just Works.

Even if the price is $100, the fact that it doesn't Just Work means the effective price is far higher.

I decided to focus on industrial customers who were used to software in the EUR ~5-20K/yr range (rather than the ~$1000/yr range) so the overhead costs are proportionally smaller. And why I try to make the code fit into the "Just Works" framework, eg, on Linux-based OSes:

> The EU has a serious democratic deficit and this will never be resolved.

Somewhat true, but so does the UK with its unelected upper house! Having Ian Botham made a permanent legislator because of his "loyalty" to the Party is not really the stuff of a democratic country.

The EU does have flaws, but that's not the basis on which Brexit was fought.

“The Universe Is a Glitch” – Poem by GPT-3
That's how I'd read it. For a while, computers and software were advancing so fast that anything over ~3 years old was obsolete and essentially useless anyway. The whole software industry is built around everyone throwing their computer in the bin every 3 years and starting over, buying all their software and hardware again.

Somewhere in the mid 2000s we reached a point where computers were "good enough" and so that upgrade cycle started stretching longer and longer. I'm still using a computer I built 5 years ago and (barring the spinning hard disk which died last year) there's no reason I shouldn't keep using it for another 5, along with all the software I run on it.

Hence the industry-wide switch to subscription models (and especially to cloud-based subscription models as they're essentially impossible to pirate). They had no other way to maintain their revenue streams.

Ah, yes. We've all met this guy at parties.

"[Technology X] is the worst thing ever and people who use it are setting the industry back by ten years. Prove me wrong!"

Don't be that guy.

The guy who's even worse than a regular blowhard: the blowhard that doesn't even necessarily believe what he's saying; he's just trying to stir up debate.

The social equivalent of a message board troll, essentially.

If you want to incorporate "strong opinions, weakly held" into your own internal decision-making and opinion-forming process, cool. Not a bad way to go. It's also appropriate in many contexts with others - ie spitballing sessions where everybody is tossing out possible solutions to a problem they're tying to solve or hell, maybe a drinking session with friends where you're all three or four drinks deep and shooting the shit, being silly.

But at "cocktail parties" or other casual social situations like hallway or lunch table conversations? Yeeesh. Don't be that person, where you obnoxiously dump your "strong opinions" onto others. A lot of people don't enjoy debate for debate's sake. (I actually tend to enjoy it - but many do not.)

If this COVID stuff has taught me anything it's that London can be made far less expensive if you want. The amount of money I've saved since March is astounding, purely from not buying coffees, lunches and pints, which are things I only really did because I had to commute to work.

tl;dr: it doesn't work that well because it's difficult.

To be honest this feels a bit to me like saying that cryptography doesn't work that well because it's difficult. The article itself even has examples of people for which it has worked well (eg Steve Jobs).

I recognize the argument that there's people who don't realize that they're bad at and still quote the "strongly opinions, weakly held" idea, but that means it's misused, not that it doesn't work well.

Again, the crypto analogy holds up. We all know some examples of crypto rolled by people who didn't realize it was too difficult for them. But that doesn't mean crypto doesn't work.
Well, that would depend on self-discipline, which of course is completely absent in the US today.
Slightly related PSA:

Everyone should consider running a wiki locally just for yourself. It's like being able to organize your brain. I just got into it two days ago and basically spent the whole weekend dumping things into it in a way I can actually browse and revisit, like the short stories I'd written, spread out across Notes.app and random folders.

You don't need to run WAMP, MySQL, Apache, phpmyadmin or anything. Here are the steps for someone, like me, who hadn't checked in a while:

0. `$ brew install php` (or equiv for your OS)

1. Download the wiki folder and `cd` into it

2. `$ php -S localhost:3000`

3. Visit http://localhost:3000/install.php in your browser

I tried DokuWiki at first (has flat file db which is cool). It's simpler, but I ended up going with MediaWiki which is more powerful, and aside from Wikipedia using it, I noticed most big wikis I use also use it (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page). MediaWiki lets you choose Sqlite as an option, so I have one big wiki/ folder sitting in my Dropbox folder symlinked into my iCloud folder and local fs.

Really changing my life right now. The problem with most apps is that they just become append-only dumping grounds where your only organizational power is to, what, create yet another tag?

My advice is to just look for the text files scattered around your computer and note-taking apps and move them into wiki pages. As you make progress, you will notice natural categories/namespaces emerging.

I just wish I started 10 years ago.
not really into industry, but a) the pharma-companies using it are probably reluctant to give you their data and b) uni researchers are not overly fond of high-fee services and labor is cheap there.
