I think it's the varying degrees of importance and surprise factor.

One dotfile has the maintainer's eccentric syntax highlighting preferences, another has critical build system settings needed to make any use of the code. Which ones do I really need to knand which are just conveniences for users of a particular IDE?

There are very few pieces of information where, to me, the natural place to look for it is "a dotfile at the root of the project." gitignore is an exception here.

To sidestep the ridiculous criticisms here about idolizing pg, you could reposition this ever so slightly as "A booklist paired with Paul Graham's tweeted opinions of them." Maybe find a more succinct way to say that, without the word recommend.

Books recommended by him seems a little strong. People pay attention to what he says because of his accomplishments. But a lot of these tweets are fairly conversational and are not really in the format of "You should totally go read this book right now because I said so."

Paul does not appear to be the author of this list. He likely had zero say in how it was titled.
So copy them in there after you clone it?

This is the sort of issue that leads to “this page intentionally blank” type use of resources.

“When everything is a hammer...” when all you have to work with is a file system it always looks messy.

I’m more interested in making sure the right values exist in memory for runtime use.

Source, config, and comments could all live in one file and be specially delimited for look up too.

It’s all arbitrary at that point. This is really focusing on the wrong issues in computing.

> These are not things that would be caught by Typescript anyway.

In my experience working with React, which is pretty heavily invested in typescript these days, if you go reasonably deep on doing typescript interfaces, it's like a switch gets flipped.

A light dusting of typescript really does barely anything; it's just boilerplate. But once you get up to about 80-90% coverage, it's like a switch gets flipped. All of a sudden it's really, really good at detecting discrepancies - I had a thing I was working on today, where I had a cute little svg icon component in the giant SPA program we're writing - I was just reusing the thing, and attaching a click handler to it, and all of a sudden - this component we hadn't touched in months, typescript starts griping about it. And I'm like "oh come on, this is so basic - what the hell could be wrong about passing in a simple onclick handler?" Well - turns out nobody had ever needed to use the "event" param on that function, so it didn't even use one internally - what I was passing in, in plain JS, would have just been thrown away, because the internal 'passthrough' version of the function had no parameter at all. And I didn't notice it in light testing (we have TS set to emit our program even if it's failing tests). I tested the component, and because the behavior's invisible/internal, it seemed like it was probably fine. Maybe I would have caught it with really earnest, aggressive testing later, but I didn't even need to - typescript just nailed it instantly.

I've had the privilege of working on some game development stuff outside of a web stack, and holy smokes does working in a complete, algebraically typed language change everything. When you go from 80-90% type coverage, to "hard 100%", it's just a complete 180°. It's just _freaky_ how good it is at catching errors. I'll change one little thing, and it can tell me "oh yeah - you know that cutscene an hour into the game? Yeah, you broke that." It's uncanny. It just absolutely changes everything about how I work.

Ehh, this is just moving the mess from one location to another. All these config files can be grouped into two or three conceptual things:

* Dependencies - Things required for your code to run, for example Dockerfile, package.json, yarn.lock

* Metrics - Measuring code quality, but the project works without these, such as jest.config.js, .eslintrc, .eslintignore

* Other - I don't recognize several config files here, and suspect some don't fall into the categories above, but am not sure. Also, README.md and .gitignore would fall into this category, but probably ought to remain at the top.

So instead of a generic "configs/" directory, if I was to organize these myself, I'd probably want at least two subdirectories so it would, y'know, actually be a bit more organized.

In fact, yes! This is counterintuitive if you think of the floats as a model for the reals, but in fact the floats give the wrong intuition, being (a finite subset of) rationals. [1] details this and refers to two related articles (particularly [2], which I find a lighter read). This fact is also remarked on in [3] (by example of the signum function being uncomputable).

For the particular example of a step function, consider the function f which is 1 on the positive reals (>=0) and 0 otherwise. What representation of the real numbers would you choose for the computation of f(0) to terminate in a finite amount of time? It cannot be the binary representation, as those are infinite. Your algorithm, terminating in a finite amount of time, will have checked only a finite number N of binary digits of the argument, and so I can choose x = 0.0{..N..}01 and obtain f(0) = f(x) by this algorithm, which is incorrect. You can choose the Cauchy sequence representation, or the Dedekind cut one, but this problem will persist (and [1] proves this in general).

You can "cheat" by saying that the leading two bits will store the sign of the number: 00 for 0, 01 for positive numbers and 10 for negative ones. But then suddenly arithmetic operations are not computable (see comments on [2])!

In 2015 I spent almost a week at Arcosanti volunteering for a small music festival. It was a really weird place and not in a bad way. However, while the descriptions paint it to be some grand experiment in architecture and urban living. In practice it's a lot of concrete domes and vaults with some living spaces tetris'ed together in the desert. They rent out the amphitheater and forge bells. The people I met who lived at Arcosanti were interesting to talk with but made it feel a little strange that all this was going on around what was essentially the residents' porches and common areas.

One of the volunteer coordinators I got to know had lived at Arcosanti herself and while she said the experience was nice (there's a stipend) she mentioned there were, and still are, serious management problems with the non-profit around it. I don't recall the specifics well enough to recount here but the outcome meant the place kind of stagnated and continues to. The visionaries who were there when it started are still there but lost their vision and are resistant to changing how things are done. An urban laboratory it is no more but has become a weird place to have lunch off I-17.

Congrats! Looks like a pretty crowded space already (can be a good sign - problem is not solved yet). Curious how do you differentiate yourself from other players in this space - tulula, Airmeet, run the world?

We've been trying different tools recently for our needs (we are building opens-source tools for ML - DVC.org, CML.dev and naturally need a solution for online meetups). I liked tulula and I liked a regular Zoom for smaller events where anyone can stream a video, talk if needed, etc.

> I would rather someone be addicted to pharmaceutical grade opioids than street heroin laced with fentanyl and other junk.

The two addictions are more or less the same. Someone addicted to street heroin can substitute pharmaceutical grade opioids. Someone addicted to pharmaceutical grade opioids can substitute street heroin. This is largely a class discrepancy, as the higher tolerance a person has the more expensive the pharmaceutical grade opioid use is compared to street heroin.

This is exactly the problem, though. By suppressing this stuff, they validate the narrative that “THEY don’t want you to know the truth” (whoever the hell they is). This stuff doesn’t go away. It just migrates to different platforms and every time it’s taken down it gains credibility among the faithful.

This is the current paradox that plagues us.
Satellite networks will always have lower data rates and latency than terrestrial networks from the extra complications of wirelessly sending signals thousands of kilometers into orbit and back. Even if you have global satellite access, the increased network demands from new applications like virtual reality, conferencing, and other uses we haven't thought of will naturally gravitate towards terrestrial networks. You'll have a fast terrestrial network that most people use in their everyday lives, and a slow satellite network used by people with special requirements. That's not all that different from how it works today with China's firewall, with most people content to live their daily lives inside and only a few putting in the effort to set up a VPN with lower network performance. You don't need to put up a 100% effective filter, just one that's annoying enough to get around that most people don't bother.

This isn't about technology, it's about organizations and vendors. It's saying that PRC carriers may not connect directly to US telecommunications networks; that PRC apps cannot be available in app stores selling to US customers; that PRC smartphone manufacturers may not bypass the restriction on stores by selling phones to Americans with PRC apps pre-installed; that US cloud properties must be accessible to PRC companies; and that undersea cables aren't tapped by PRC intelligence agencies.

It's not about technology, it's about a business qualification for US telecoms and technology companies like Apple and Amazon. If they meet these standards, they're part of the "clean network" (which is just ugly obvious racism).

As a practical matter, this is dubious because there's hundreds of ways around these requirements bureaucratically. The value of this is the threat to China, that specific examples like TikTok can be chosen and banned; or that third parties like European businesses might move away from China to avoid jeopardizing U.S. business. This is just another front in the trade war.
Seems like the silo acted as a lens for the shockwave.

Opioids are among the best medications for treating severe pain. If we're focusing on patients I'd much rather focus on rehabilitative strategies since the current degree of increased scrutiny is already making accessing adequate medication more difficult for groups like the elderly or people with chronic pain. Even more increased oversight is just going to escalate hesitation among doctors.

Also, how does this impact countries outside the US that have significant interactions with it like Canada or Mexico?

Jio’s parent company reliance is a textbook crony capitalism model.

Since it’s inception they have been able to get unfair advantage by having or buying insiders from the government also they hire ex-bureaucrats for their network and no the moves in the government before it becomes public.

On top of it Indian government was holding back retail market access from international competition till they get to ramp up (which they have done for donkey years).

So if you need access to Indian market, you have cost up with Reliance and that’s why you see big players lining up.

If you manage to find it watch On YouTube their annual conference of a sort (similar to US Tech Companies), you will see all of this on display.

Essentially they are the Indian Government.
In the early 80's, on the second floor of the memorial union building at ASU they had a number of his drawings hung in frames on the wall. These were fairly large, 20-30 inches on a side. His vision, based on the drawings, was to have cities made of a large structure that combined living, work, recreation, shopping and whatever else, in a dense stack which minimized the impact on the surrounding land (at least from the city itself, not whatever agriculture was needed to support the city.) In looking through the Arcology, Soleri and Arcosanti wikipedia pages I see nothing like the drawings I saw at ASU. Today's Arcosanti is just a fraction of the completed structure which, if I remember correctly, was to span the valley that Arcosanti is on the edge of.
I didn't find this exact page particularly interesting, but I enjoyed exploring the website. It's a good example of a personal website.
I don't think this is propaganda or doublespeak. It's an escalation of the trade war with China by threatining to ban PRC participation in the U.S. economy--basically what they're threatening to do to TikTok except across several areas of the economy.
There is no One True Place, would you like drawers with my preferences and no way to override?

The list of configuration files/directories is known. Why can't those who bother present them as they desire? Instead of forcing their will on others.

There reason for ~/.config is separation from data and cache. And the reason behind XDG Base Directory Specification is a generic way to run application with another config `XDG_DATA_HOME=foo bar`.
Opioids don't aid in recovery though--they're not a band-aid, they're simply a veneer. They can prevent recovery since they delays][ physical rehabilitation. I honestly think cannabis is a much better solution long-term, but good luck transitioning an opiate user to cannabis.
Fears grow that WW2 wreck could explode on Kent coast (2019)
You are right in your analysis. Jio is using a different accounting approach to show that they are profitable. One - Their depreciation model is non-standard vs. what is used by other telecom companies & Two - They are booking the sales of subsidized devices under their retail subsidy - Reliance retail. If there is someone who understand this better, I would like to get more insight.

Restricting communication with China isn’t just a restriction on China, but on Americans. These laws prevent Americans from freely associating.

I did. Contrary a point above, I vendored dependencies in Go in 2012 the old school way: copy them into a vendor directory. It worked fine for end-user binaries, and you didn't have to worry about painfully long builds like you can get doing that with C++.

The Go authors have explicitly stated they don't do things until they figure out the right way to do them. No language gets it all right out of the gate, but Go got pretty close with e.g. its standard library.
