That isn't true of Blender at all, it was built by one software company from 1994-2002, quirks and all.

Open software runs the gamut from anarchic, to focused community development, to benevolent dictatorship, all the way to closed-development models, and I can cite success stories from all of those approaches. Just pointing out that Blender isn't a good example of design by committee, it's still essentially the same program it was when the Blender Foundation was established.
Disagree on the criticism of Twitter. Their blocking the story allowed people to view the information with skepticism. That's enough to dim its potentially dangerous effects.

I have eosinophilic esophagitis, which is a rare autoimmune condition. I am both lucky and unlucky, in that most sufferers discover they have this later in its progression, when they have difficulty swallowing, but I discovered mine early due to near-constant and severe left side chest pain. This is an unusual presentation, but it goes away when we get my EoE into remission and comes back when I relapse, so we're pretty sure it's the cause.

I have come in and out of remission over the years. Unfortunately, my case has been quite difficult to keep in remission, so I live with left-side chest pain most days. There are a wide variety of other exciting symptoms.

Before I got sick, I was a healthy person. I worked out five days a week. I traveled internationally. I ate widely. These have all become much, much harder.

So what I would say to people who are not chronically ill: it can happen to anyone. It can happen any time. All that stuff you think happens to other people, it can happen to you. I literally woke up one day in pain, and that was it. That was the end of the good part of my life. One day I was fine, the next day I was permanently not fine. I was 27. I worked very hard through my 20s thinking I had time to enjoy life. Don't put off living. This can happen to you.

On the whole, as others have said: one day at a time. You just keep going. You will not believe how much suffering you will be able to put up with and keep going. On bad days, I tell myself that I can still go for a walk. I can still watch a sunset. I can still pet a dog. Get a therapist. Talk to the therapist.

Other things that have helped me: extremely careful dietary control. Reminding myself of the hundreds of extremely more horrible diseases I don't have. A care team of doctors who I trust, having replaced the doctors I didn't trust (for instance, the first doctor I saw, who told me it was all in my head).

Chronic illness is a very hard experience. I do not recommend it.
Yes, as long as people would actually install it and care to use that medium at all. Like I think everyone my age (30s) would do it, but I know my parents wouldn't.

But as an easy social/community tool for a small group when you want something more than just a WhatsApp group, it's great.

The downside is that it's just chat and thus any important info being discussed can be hard to link, find, and centralize. I'm part of some organizations that handle this by having a Facebook group as a lightweight forum and landing page of the organization along with the Discord for more hangout and meet each other vibes.
When a person commits a crime and is punished, we don't say "they were already punished, what more are you asking for?" When they go on to commit yet another crime.

So what I'm asking for should be obvious: Additional sanctions for each additional hostile act. Keep making it harder and harder, the consequences higher, each time. Use diplomacy with our allies to get them to do the same.
This seemed to exist for quite a while. There was a joke about attraction to sinking women in the Jonathan Creek series in '97.
I knew someone would bring up Citizens United v FEC when I said worst. I know this will be an unpopular opinion on this forum, but I believe that case was decided correctly. I agree wholeheartedly with Justice Kennedy's opinion that

"If the First Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech"

Read the opinions and dissents of that case and you may change your mind.

True, true. Yet, I feel the podcast discusses more the current state, not the future in terms of programming/computing.

When I listened, I was wondering what is a rather obscure language you like and enjoy and why. (I still like hacking OpenDylan from time to time.

For me, Swift seems great for user interfaces and for some os applications (command line etc.). Especially Apple's SwiftUI seem to take the best of d3.js and other libraries. Swift seems perfect and very flexible for that.

Machine Learning and Signal Processing will still be dominated by Python, just because of the libraries.
I'm old school and program a lot of matlab ...

I agree, even if it's driven by cynicism, if it's the right thing to do then it's what should be done.
Don’t take on straightforward tasks in the name of expediency. That’s the hole you’re already in and you have to stop digging.

A little pair programming or watching someone use the new thing you wrote can go a long way toward informing you on how to close the gap. The tricky bits may not be that tricky for others, and the obvious bits often aren’t.

It’s not all roses, of course. The person who doesn’t understand that you built a ladder for them to climb may complain loudly about how long it took you to get to the top of it. It takes a somewhat special team to be able to do the right thing and not get punished for doing so.

Somewhere in between that and Lord of the Flies is most teams.

Artificial fertilizer doesn’t require fossil fuel. It requires energy, atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen:

Roughly 50% of the nitrogen in average humans was extracted from the atmosphere using this process; it is well-established.
Punctuation, capital letters, proper spelling, etc. exist for a reason: They're a standardized set of tools for making our writing clearer and easier to read. In a professional setting, they also indicate a level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail. In my mind, at least.

If you can write clearly without using these tools or if you're writing in a situation where style is more important than clarity, fine. Go nuts.

If you just can't be bothered to make, like, five extra keypresses... C'mon, man.
Emoji are in the sweet spot where if you can’t use special emoji you don’t really care, but some people find them shiny enough to pay for. It’s not innovation, but it’s definitely a perfect target for monetization.
> School's purpose is not to teach obedience or even getting a job. It is there to teach us critical thinking, and consequently, how to be a good citizen. An educated population is also less prone to fall into totalitarianism.

Germany was among the most highly educated countries in the world in the 1930s. The Russian Revolution was an elite phenomenon. In a country of peasants the Revolution was of and by the intelligentsia. Whatever else you might say about them they weren’t uneducated.

The German ban on home schooling is explicitly to prevent the formation of parallel societies. It would be hard to be clearer that the purpose of the “education” system is indoctrination.

If you want to teach things the best and most efficient way to do so is explicitly. The enormous majority of people do not generalize learning beyond its context. Whether transfer of learning even exists is a hot topic in psychological research. It is certainly not a strong effect. If school was to teach critical thinking it should be doing so explicitly. It doesn’t and there’s little reason to believe it’s especially good at it.

School is excellent at inuring children to boredom, obeying authority and pointless busywork.
High Schooler here. I've been teaching myself Vulkan and am writing a videogame, but I'm so exhausted on weekdays from my course-load that I only work on it on weekends and breaks. I wish I could put more time into it but trying to program after 6+ hours of school and then homework is a nightmare, and that code usually ends up being buggier than my normal output, with low productivity.
Last I checked Apple only supported U2F and similar in Safari - the WebKit exposed for the other iOS browsers use can’t access those features. Did that change in iOS 14?
You're right that it's not that simple, but to be clear, my parents did teach me stuff like history and they did their best to make it interesting. It just so happened that I enjoyed some topics and activities more than others, and homeschooling can allow for more freedom to adjust to that than would be the case with a strict curriculum.
I already hit my FIRE goal, so not a problem for me.
Oxidizing the biocarbon to mitigate CO2 release? I think I see a bit of a flaw in that strategy.

Yes. In WebAuthn every single time you enroll on some web site with this system, a completely random new private key will be generated and the site will be given the corresponding public key and a fresh magic "cookie" identifier that serves no other purpose.

Your Apple device remembers the association between this particular web site, any user ID the site said is relevant (e.g. maybe the username mrwnmonm and friendly name "Shiny Steve") the cookie, and the private key.

On subsequent visits either of two things can happen:

1. You tap some sort of easy-one-touch login button. The Apple device says "Hey, sign in here as mrwnmonm / Shiny Steve?" and you use your touch ID to prove you are still you, this unlocks the private key, Safari uses the private key to create a proof that you still know that key, attaches the proof, and the cookie. The site recognises you must be Shiny Steve and you're in.

2. You sign in "normally" (e.g. with a username and password) but then as a Second Factor the site shows the Apple Device the cookie it remembers, your device recognises this cookie and prompts you for a touch to prove you are still Shiny Steve, whereupon it uses the private key to sign a proof and send it back to the site.

Because the keys are different on every site even if two web sites deliberately work together to try to figure out if a user on one site is the same person as a user on another site, WebAuthn doesn't help them do that at all.

Also unlike passwords or most other schemes, there's no risk from mass data loss because the web site is storing public information. If a "dump" of every Facebook WebAuthn public key was made, that's essentially useless to everybody except Facebook anyway, whereas obviously a password dump or a dump of all the TOTP secrets would be a huge security problem.

Actually, I am working on a technology to do exactly this. With the increased trust that comes from extreme privacy, simplified permissions management, and a new security model users can comfortably do things that aren’t available on the WWW.

When you continue to think in terms of social media where a centralized service extracts user data as a blunt financial weapon from a massive user count then decentralization doesn’t make any sense. When you turn this around to solving more practical problems the applications and revenue model change.
Gmail and most other providers will 5xx incoming mail they see as spam before it even gets to your spam settings. It's a "feature" on their end to outright block more blatant spam, but it often snags larger senders of legitimate email. Like Patreon.
I don't think AC is related to a different clock, but the II's system timings are tied to video generation and PAL did 50 fields per second, so maybe that's an issue.

A few things on the history that often comes up, but I didn't see mentioned in the article:

I thought Quebec had pushed this high voltage technology in the 1960s. (I can't find the source on this at the moment...)

Buckminster Fuller also popularized the idea of an integrated world electric grid in the 1970s and in his book "Critical Path".

> In my mind, Kant's categorical imperative could be viewed as either a proposed definition of the good (in which case Moore's argument is applicable), or a claim about what actually is good (in which case it escape's Moore's argument)

It’s an academic opinion, but I believe it’s the latter: the very first line in the GMS asserts that the metaethical object itself is the good will: “nothing in the world (or indeed beyond it) can possibly be conceived as good without qualification except for the Good Will.”

The CI is the logical consequence (according to Kant) of what the good is. But that distinction is definitely subtle in the context of his normative ethics.
Interesting! I wonder if any shells that support $((..)) do not support ((..) though.

The update 2017 standard mentions ((..)) but not in the obvious place. It's under 'compound commands/grouping' ...

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V...

> If a character sequence beginning with "((" would be parsed by the shell as an arithmetic expansion if preceded by a '$', shells which implement an extension whereby "((expression))" is evaluated as an arithmetic expression may treat the "((" as introducing as an arithmetic evaluation instead of a grouping command. A conforming application shall ensure that it separates the two leading '(' characters with white space to prevent the shell from performing an arithmetic evaluation.
> This is not to say that Windows has no bugs in it, but I’ve never had my sound just stop working or my WiFi break after an upgrade on a Windows machine.

Sound just stops working every few days on my Windows laptop. I have also had upgrades break things on Windows. With Ubuntu, while I have had some surprises they are never random and I can fix them. With Windows it's just like... stuff just randomly stops working several times a day with no rhyme or reason to why. It's an organic, nondeterministic, unpredictable system.

That's not to say Windows doesn't fail in repeatable ways, it does that too. I've totally had OS, browser, Slack upgrades break things in really basic ways. But that's something that comes from updating software, the instability... that's a Windows problem that I don't have on Ubuntu.
> The GNU tools in particular are optimized for their target end-user base.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe you didn't use MetroWerks CodeWarrior or Borland C++ back in the day.

Those IDEs could scream through compiling a C++ code base, and provided superb integration between the compiler, editor, and debugger.

Gcc by comparison is slow, and the tooling is still stone knives and bearskins compared to what Windows and Mac users had in the 90s.

So either the target end user base is people who don't mind slow compilers and poorly integrated tools (maybe understandable in the embedded world where it's that or nothing for some arcane CPU architecture), or the GNU tools are poorly optimized.
I guess I was asking pmoriarty. It's not my ideal. Just trying to understand their reasoning.

You might be right that that's how a Lisp advocate might have viewed Python and Perl back then but in reality they (plus PHP) were the go-to tools of the day for non-enterprise web programmers. Enterprisey people would view this as cowboy development.

> to me, is fucking terrifying.

Why? It takes 40 contact hours to teach a nine year old to read, according to John Taylor Gatto. You can teach all of primary school Math in the same time to a 12 year old. What’s the point of doing it earlier? There are little or no compounding gains from doing so. Countries that start teaching reading at 4 don’t do better than those that wait until 7. See France versus Germany or Finland.

The entire point of the zone of proximal development is that you can spend weeks teaching something to a six year old that a nine year old will pick up in an afternoon because they’re just more developed.

That's absolutely untrue. The drivers I know are strongly against it.
As cliche as it may be to repeat, companies like that have real value they can benefit from in missions like these, not to mention there is a good argument to be made for preservation viewed as an investment for modern companies with anthropologic climate change at our doorstep.
Kinda disappointed that the old Qt4 KDiff3 setup for Windows is 11 MB, but the KDE Qt5 KDiff3 setup is 51 MB.
Hashlife can theoretically "cache" a specific input and output, e.g. running an instruction on your simulated computer like "add r0, r1, r2" (when r0, r1, and r2 contain specific values that have already been used with this instruction, and assuming that any nearby internal state is also identical).

But this doesn't let you magically mine bitcoin in fast-forward, because in order to mine bitcoin, you need to insert random bytes into your block and keep changing them until you get lucky and find a hash that starts with a certain number of zeroes. This effectively guarantees that you aren't going to have cached computation snippets that are big enough to skip any meaningful amount of work.

At best, you might be able to fast-forward at the instruction level granularity, at which point you might as well be mining on your CPU.

What is the basis for thinking public education is the best option for education or for political freedom? Must that always be the case if it once was true?

Who would be letting a child go astray in a home education environment? Why would a reasonable parent in #3 not conclude that education can be provided via multiple potentially sources, including themselves and a good curriculum?

Why would you not say homeschooling disseminates knowledge, teaches critical thinking and aids democracy?

Your aims are excellent here.

I agree, Signal is great
That seems like a winning strategy: an array of ultrasonic transducers could both detect and range the bug, and then you just play back a loud impulse spike with the same phase delays as you heard. No moving parts, no misses, no calculations. If the spike is short enough, you physically can't damage anybody's ears.

Maybe you only deafen them, so they die of old age without mating.

I once priced out an array of half-inch-sized ultrasonic transducers. Seems like they were astonishingly cheap... like under $.50 each? Plus $.50 microcontrollers and a drive transistor for the spike. Maybe an FPGA running parallel convolutions?
