Looks interesting. So the use case is when you have an app that consumes a bunch of APIs and you want to get rid of all the integration code? Are you planning to add any analytics/data dashboards e.g to view aggregate data?
rather than mishmash of obscure legal paperwork, every home should be accompanied by a standardized booklet with a report card on the front (with various important metrics, like heating/cooling efficiency, electrical reliability/safety, structural integrity, environmental risks, pollution measurements, water tightness, etc.). the innards would have the gory details, architectural drawings, schematics, repair history, modifications/additions, and such.

this booklet could then be provided to interested buyers for review, with the stipulation that any serious distortions/omissions could be subject to sanctions and legal recourse. this isn't far off from what we do now, but the standardization away from overly wordy legalese would be a material advance. we're collectively under the false impression that legalese protects us from risk, but it's more a form of regulatory capture for the legal industry.
As far as I know (not a lawyer or CPA) the US non-profits are absolutely the same, your description is accurate.
Online platforms "censoring" speech was never unlawful. What section 230 did was protect them from liability over speech that they did not censor. E.g., if I posted a libelous comment about you in the comments section of an online platform, section 230 protected the online platform from being sued by you for libel over my comment.

Weakening the 230 protections will do nothing to encourage platforms to censor less. Indeed, it will have the opposite effect.

I haven't read the proposal, but if it goes beyond just weakening 230 and instead tries to say platforms cannot censor speech, then it won't get past the First Amendment.
That's not exactly true.
"Speech is not protected by the First Amendment if the speaker intends to incite a violation of the law that is both imminent and likely."

Someone randomly spouting off that people of a race or ideology should be wiped out doesn't always/exactly pass this legal test.

It's also interesting how unpopular these sorts of ideas seem to be, even among relatively skilled critical thinkers.
Heck, I think it's fine for entities to be both, but recognize the need for special rules allocated to individual companies that reach a certain level of subjective public-space-y-ness

MediaWiki's difficulty of use is the primary reason Wikipedia has fared as well as it has during the decline of substantitve online discourse in recent years.

Wikipedia is far from perfect, but it is the best and last of the old web. Putting people who don't understand this in charge of its redesign is a recipe for disaster.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Caddy model requires curation, doesn't it?

Plugins and scripting languages flourish when they democratize the process of adding features to a piece of code. To have prebuilt binaries you need a build matrix, and the complexity of the build matrix is somewhere between exponential and factorial.

This is a perverse incentive for the curators. The cost has to be justified, and as the friction grows you can only justify the things that you have a strong affinity for. Anything you don't understand or don't like gets voted off the island.

In the best addon ecosystems, the core maintainers put some safety rails on the system so the addons can't do anything too crazy. Then they watch the cream of the crop and start trying to include them in the base functionality (limiting the number of optional features the majority of their users have to manually pick). The hard part here is how to reward the people whose ideas you just co-opted, and I don't have a great answer for that (although money and/or a free license for life is a good start)

We'll only know when we get there, but I'd hazard a guess it'll be more conventional as extrapolations on tech we have now, instead of more experimental stuff. AR doesn't seem to have much movement, and neuralink is still in that realm of promising way more than it's proving.
How to Learn C++
Phillips Hue devices work without the cloud connection.
Get to know people. Talk to them at lunch time, or offer to help on their project when they are stuck, and ask for help on your project when your stuck.

The latter is especially helpful for differentiating between people who talk a good game and actually know what they are talking about.

Practice not assuming anything about someone based on their appearances. Learn to listen uncritically so that you can hear the insights they bring to the table. I know some folks who are genius level smart and have a horrible time trying to express themselves. I've often suspected it was because they think about things so differently that it is hard for them to translate how they think about something into concepts "normal" people understand.
Hmm. My views of Java/C++ (mainline productivity langs.) have changed a lot because of screwing around with other languages. I think I 'code better' because of it.

It's possible you are learning something.

It’s the converse that is not possible. A non-profit could reasonably have an investment arm that tries to maximize return on endowment (or likewise a for-profit subsidiary, by analogy) and various projects which are funded from the generated surplus.

A for-profit entity owning/operating a non-profit entity would be more difficult to justify without calling on other goals.

Not sure about other folks, but what they said makes sense to me.

Merit used to be a thing, but now we literally have companies that hire people based on their skin color (and in some places, laws that require it). Some of us have a problem with making such decisions with regards to a person's race or skin color or other immutable human attributes.

This could destroy the tech oligopolies. This would tangle them in unlimited court cases allowing for smaller sites with smaller pockets [1] to flourish. I imagine they will fight this to the death - or drag it in court at least until November elections for a pro-Oligopoly (Biden) camp to take over.

We had a really similar experience, including playing Talos directly afterwards. They both had a really incredible solitude to them, which I think resonated because of the same ideological reasons but in two different contexts like you said. They managed to evoke pretty much the same emotions from me, except for the horror from SOMA.

There was an uncanniness to the Talos robots and the terminal entries which was really creepy to me though, I found them really unsettling at first.

Director of Engineering OKR and goal examples
Sure - 20-40 jobs are absolutely valuable. The bigger point is that the indignation towards this CEO is a bit of a strawman, since it's easier to be angry at a greedy CEO than accept the idea that Mozilla may not be viable.
I think the issue here is that 'workloads' in the original piece is not meant to refer to user workloads - and no comparison is made with the A-53 in the article.

Incidentally, interesting that Intel can use a low margin Arm core to enhance it's offering that competes against higher margin Arm cores. It will be interesting to see if this sort of thing survives the Nvidia takeover.

It's essientially a stripped down rewrite of what existed in Lion's Commentary on Unix. When you reduce subsystems to around 1KLOC each, it's a lot easier to see the core of what they're trying accomplish.

As for what's missing... a lot. No threads, no mmap (or any way to share memory between processes), only vga, serial, lbs, and ide drivers (in the x86 port), no block devices in the fs, 20 something syscalls total.
Can you even compare Mitchell Baker to Lisa Su in terms of achievement?

Su revived a company on the verge of bankruptcy. Since she was appointed CEO, AMD's stock has soared and they've made themselves a viable competitor against Intel. This has been a massive boon to the market.

It's worth noting that Su has a deep understanding of the underlying technology that the company works on (she's an electrical engineer), which was essential to her success at the company.

Su is an example of merit-based compensation. Baker is not.
I agree on both. I actually prefer using their mobile site on desktop.
> 1. Finding canonical translations for technical terms.

OMG yes I do this as well. Google translate is unreliable for technical terms, regional vegetables/fruits, cultural concepts, and lots of other things.

EDIT: Wikipedia is also good at differentiating regional variants of a language, e.g. the country of Laos is 老撾 in Beijing Mandarin and 寮國 in Taiwanese Mandarin and Wikipedia knows this. Likewise, a USB drive is almost universally called "U盤" in Mainland China but this word is virtually unknown outside Mainland China. It's actually a good way for native speakers to look up one-off words like this when writing documents intended to be read by another region because you really just need to replace a few nouns here and there.
The neat thing about GAT is that it doesn't really increase the user-facing complexity of the language. Conceptually, users already need to understand generics, and they need to understand associated types. GAT, which allows users to use generics within associated types, doesn't feel like a new feature so much as it just feels like letting two existing features play nicely.

Speaking of print-to-PDF, this is tremendously useful functionality, but fails on over half of the web pages out there. Is this due to some intentional action by the publisher, as a copy protection mechanism, or due to faults in the print-to-PDF driver? If due to faults in the driver, whose print-to-PDF driver is the best at implementing this functionality - I've tried several and they all seem to be sub-par.

Another PDF issue, does anyone except Adobe make a good PDF malware remover (from inside the PDF file). PDF malware seems to be rare, but could be a big problem if it ever catches on.

The argument operates on a spectrum of specifics, and line drawing is always going to look absurd to someone.

A similar things happens when small communities are encroached by commuters - newcomers get upset about things the locals have "always done", and it almost invariably ends up becoming a class thing.

I have a relative who has lived in the same home for almost 50 years. She basically owns a hill with her house on top - it is about 2 acres. Until a few years ago, she'd been routinely burning leaves and lawn debris (or, later had the kid who did her lawn work do it).

It didn't matter until some neighbors sold to a developer who put up commuter-McMansions across from her. It threatened to become a huge issue with the new people making bullshit claims about fire risk and whatnot. She stopped, I helped put up a tall privacy fence at a strategic point (that they also hate, but can't do anything about) and she'll be fine.

Who was right? Well... I don't think there is a right answer, only a negotiated one.
The direct link to the commons page is also useful for finding pictures related to a topic.

> The only articles that are high quality tend to be very technical ones

Really? Technical subjects tend to be some of the worst on wikipedia. Articles on say undergrad math topics tend to be very poor introductions to a topic.

> Because there's a new phenomenon where one reads the Wiki page of a complex topic (say, something like Free Will) and 5 minutes later, the reader thinks they're a bonafide expert on a topic that has puzzled humanity for millennia

I don't think this is a new thing. Encyclopedia articles are by nature introductory. Didn't the same thing happen with britanica back in the day. This seems less an argument against wikipedia and more an argument against letting lay people have access to educational resources at all.

> I really wish Encyclopaedia Britannica put more efforts into their own knowledge base, but I get it: high-quality vetted content is hard to do.

So if I sent a note with the content you just described to everyone I know via UPS and you define this content as a crime, then UPS should be held liable in facilitating this crime? So therefore UPS needs to inspect the content of every package that it delivers to avoid culpability in crimes like this?

Or somehow UPS is different from a social media entity. Then what legally is a social media entity?

These are interesting times. The rules will certainly change; it remains to be seen if they will ultimately change for the better.
There's other reasons languages become popular such as platform support, marketing, what people learn in school or as a first language, and what gets you hired. Popularity does not necessarily imply any sort of superiority of a PL usage compared to others.
I wouldn’t think that you need "a bunch of APIs" to start using Pizzly. Even with only one, it’s useful. Why? Because it helps to use that API faster (mostly by handling the authentication A to Z).

Analytics/data dashboard is an interesting path. While there’s already great open-source solution that you can plug to monitor what’s going on.

The projet is quite new, so I don’t know today what path Pizzly is going to take. But in the coming months the focus is more on supporting much more APIs (there are 60 today).
It's not a matter of what kind of speech 1A governs, but what kind of entities.

Housing under a noisy flight path is an interesting example.

In an ideal world, I think that would be an excellent place for deaf people to live. They're not disturbed by the noise, it would be cheaper than other areas, and living in a community of other deaf people seems like something many would really enjoy.

The typical regulation approach has no room for adjustments like these, and I think it's bad for everyone.
Sorry, I was summarizing several replies and wasn’t trying to make a personal attack against you. My hope was to point out that there are other ways of looking at things.

You seem to be coming at things in terms of patient trade-offs. I’m saying that AbbVie loves selling more Humira, and some sort of hypothetical magical anti-infective would’ve been a way to do so.
I think my take-away is that a dollar consistently removed from one's budget and invested will compound and hence there exists a nonlinear relationship between budget adjustments and runway. It's definitely a relationship that people desiring financial independence can exploit.

However, there's also time value to different classes of purchases. For instance, spending money acquiring certain skills early in life allows time for those skills to compound while the same investment later in life may have no utility.

The commonly cited example is an MBA: getting an MBA in early career provides more leverage than if it was obtained in mid career or later. A late career MBA in most cases has vastly diminished signalling/credentialing value.

Frugality (in early life) that optimizes for the date of financial independence (and runway) is not a bad idea, but seems to me that employed in isolation, it may increase the chances of landing on a local optimum when other more favorable optima may exist.

People often talk about time value of money... but there's also the time value of time/age.

Princess Mononoke is still in my top 5 movies of all time, and has been for many years.

Without spoiling too much, the basic premise is that a young man is cursed while defending his village from a demon, and must make a journey to understand his curse (and hopefully cure it) before it kills him. On his journey he ends up being forced to try and mediate a war between the ancient gods of the forest (representing nature) and a nearby town with an iron forge that wants to raze the forest to use the ore in the soil below (representing civilization and industry).

Despite being very environmentally themed, it's not hamfisted at all. Several of the characters on both sides (the humans and the forest gods) are very complex and multifaceted in their motivations.

Also the soundtrack is one of the most beautiful to ever accompany a film.
