Yeah it's hard to develop a general criteria. There are also situations where you may be making a lot of invisible progress, and what appears to be a hopeless situation for years hits a breakthrough and suddenly huge progress is made overnight because people were actually listening to some degree. So trying to map everything out ahead of time can be a fool's errand when you have no objective measures of progress.

If the goal is to avoid sunk cost fallacies, I'd say the answer is same as anywhere, budgeting. Develop some general, convenient (very important they're convenient, otherwise you won't track them) metrics, so that way you have at least a general idea of how much time, money, sleep, even vague things like energy level, stress and opportunity costs can be tracked to some degree. That way you have some quantifiable measure of how many resources you're sinking into a project and if it's worth it (ie I was abnormally stressed out directly due to this effort for 137 days last year, is it worth another 137 days of abnormal stress? Or from an opportunity cost perspective I could have spent those 50 hours playing with my kids, would that have been a better investment?)

Also set some hard budget ceilings and very stiff criteria (like at least an 80% chance of meaningful progress, whatever that means specifically for the situation) for going over them. That way you don't feel trapped by the ceiling, but it still holds you accountable.

Of course it's all on the individual to maintain the metrics and stick to the budget, but I'd argue if you don't have the discipline to do even that you might want to question your ability to execute any plans for more complex community development :)

As someone who uses vim as a daily driver and emacs with evil-mode for a lisp IDE and occasional org-mode, biggest issue is every new mode you add will either use chording like emacs or will need completely new vim-compatible keybindings. It's not a lot of work, but it's enough to say "eh, I just won't use that package"
>inefficient code increases your contribution to the suffering of others

this statement is a true fact in and of itself: i suffer get physical pain every time i come in contact with shitty software. no need for logical mental gymnastics or global warming shenanigans.

edit: for the sake of correctness, i'd rephrase the statement above:

>shitty software increases your contribution to the suffering of others
This is definitely true. There are also other things that are very difficult to get to work for math papers in HTML (even with conversions) such complex TikZ and other diagrams. Also, HTML rendering is still pretty ugly compared to LaTeX PDFs because LaTeX has a much better typesetting engine including hyphenation. With subtle changes meaning huge semantic differences in math diagrams, I still much prefer to read PDFs.
Stop telling people what they should or should not share with others. Also stop preaching that being completely oblivious of underlying layers of abstraction is a good or desirable state of affairs.

There is no portable computing without wrestling with ISA's. There is no using collections of Assembly in a reasonably articulable manner without C, there is no C++ without C, so on, and so forth.

The Art and Tao of Programming is to transcend the specifics of any layer of abstraction and flow as water does from the highest peaks to the oceans, getting stuff done along the way. A river without a way to the sea, while technically still making it to the ocean by groundwater percolation an evaporation, as a result of it's lack of connection has to journey much further, and much slower for having the state of affairs.

Do you have any plans to include AIS for ship tracking as well? I guess that would need a second SDR, or perhaps you can cycle through the two frequencies and get enough messages to still be usable?

Edit: Or maybe support for ATC radio traffic? Again, it probably needs a second SDR, but it would make it much easier for those who are interested than it is now. I would love to be able to just run some daemon and get an audio stream on a local port and maybe an audio player in the web client.

Not quite your description of bully becoming the bully, but I knew someone who was bullied who became a needy adult that used emotional abuse in their relationships. The person was high functioning on the autism spectrum and had been taunted and mocked in school for being awkward, different, and unable to defend themselves socially. More importantly, the person also said their parents were socially ambitious and always vocally disappointed in them for not being part of the "popular" kids.

As an older teen, this person rebelled against their parents, smoked a lot of weed to self-medicate, but also had serious self-image problems and attempted suicide. Eventually got into programming and earned a decent living in a different country. But when I knew them as an adult, I always found them cranky, critical, and anxious. I later found out from an ex-partner that they were manipulative and needy, threatening to leave or even kill themselves when they didn't get their way.

I was friends with this ex-partner who told me it looked like a mild case of borderline personality disorder: and the symptoms and actions seemed to fit. It's often caused by childhood emotional trauma, leads to emotional abuse of others in vain attempt to get the affection they were missing as children (that's a very rough summary). And it can lead to their own children missing the critical affection they need and thus perpetuate. And that made me think that perhaps this person's parents were also emotionally abusive because of a similar situation. And I even wonder if borderline personality disorder isn't a social comorbidity with autism spectrum, not medically related but a social situation that can happen more frequently.
Some speculate that it was a good day to get diluted in the news. I’d say they were right.
ATC isn't the only party who needs to see the aircraft IDs.

As a pilot, it's valuable to be able to see tail numbers to help correlate what I'm hearing on the radio with what I'm seeing on my displays. I can guess who's who from position reports, but seeing the tail number leaves no ambiguity.

There are also some smaller facilities that use ADS-B to monitor traffic, but aren't networked into the national ATC radar system.

Aviation events will also setup their own temporary control tower, and frequently use ADS-B as an aid for sequencing traffic. (Again, without access to the national ATC radar network.)

For folks who need privacy, there are a couple options that already exist - UAT privacy mode or private Mode S addresses. Though notably, both of these are only available options for domestic flight within the US.
As I'm guessing you are American:

The US constitution itself is very resistant to change. It's doable, but very difficult in an era of deep polarization and partisanship. For example, many think the electoral college is undemocratic and outdated, but there is a vested interest by both parties in keeping it in place.

That said, the "middle ground" is probably the states. For example, Oregon I believe just decriminalized all forms of recreational drug use. Who knows how that will turn out, but it's a social experiment that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Another example - think of the communes in the 1960s or the Israeli kibbutzim or other experimental communities throughout history. Maybe try out your ideas on a small scale with a small group of people and see what works.

The PCB shape had to be defined early on so that the industrial designers could get on with the housing design, and I then stared endlessly at the PCB layout, trying to get one of the USB ports to route to the right side without wrecking the signal integrity of the memory or the HDMI; I could not find a way to do this.

It implements a very simple metaphor for a computer. One that's useful for teaching how a computer works.

For more complicated things the mismatch starts to show. Maybe, at that point, it'd be time to teach other languages that can build upon the understanding of how a simple computer works.

> And last I checked, Pascal has both PChar and PByte. Much better than C where both are called *char.

The computer doesn't know the difference between a byte and a char. Usually, it doesn't even know what a char is.

Contrasting opinion here (and that of the majority): stop anthropomorphizing animals.

They aren't people. Their "feelings" do not matter - what matters is ensuring that we have reliable, self-reproducing, adaptable sources of protein for the population. Your lab-grown burgers that depend on thousands of years of technological development and piles of infrastructure are not the solution. Forcing everyone to become vegetarians is not even an option at all; the market demands meat and factory farms have stepped up to fill that niche at scale, reliably delivering meat to everyone in the first world even in extenuating circumstances. It's quite phenomenal, what we have accomplished in terms of livestock agriculture, and to call it "horrific" is a massive insult to the hundreds of thousands of people who work in that industry keeping humans fed while keeping costs to a minimum.

I don't care if the animals I eat were happy, because no matter what happens they are going to be killed and I am going to cook and eat their bodies. Accepting that is simply part of being the omnivorous animal that millions of years of evolution has produced.

And I see no reason why they would stay. The only reason they work is that they used gig drivers being paid per ride instead of using people with a wage. Without that they are just a regular taxi service with no advantage over the competition, meaning they will have to exit and you are left with the taxi services you had before uber/lyft. They have no experience at all managing a fleet of employees driving, that is much harder than maintaining their app.
Another common way to die is to take heroin and benzos at the same time (both are respiratory depressants). This happens with the similar prescription painkillers as well.

There are some other combinations that can cause similar trouble too (alcohol plus benzos, alcohol plus opiods).

Accidental overdose can also happen after relapse, most easily if avoiding the substance rather than receiving medical addiction treatment. Or if taking combinations of drugs that combine to impair judgement.
What's more pragmatic than not being precious about what technology decision is most perfect and instead going with what's popular and has a lot of community support?

You know, there might be a somewhat nice middle ground: after several community driven libraries have materialized, maybe include some interfaces in the standard library, that allow users to choose which community library the want without having to hardcode too much to that library.

It's not perfect and wouldn't work for every situation, but might be a way to soften the downsides of the community-driven approach.
Am I the only one who prefers micro HDMI? I've heard good arguments to suggest it isn't very robust in the hands of kids... but from my own perspective all my micro HDMI cables are much thinner than my full-sized HDMI ones and they... just sit better. That said I've got an M.2 PCIe 2230SSD hanging out of the USB port on an adapter, so any grace or elegance is gone from my setup.

Edit: mini to micro (mini on the Pi Zero, micro on Pi 4/Pi 400)
At first I was disappointed to see that there wasn't a floppy disk for save, but upon viewing the full icon set, it's indeed still present (`save20Regular`, etc.) :

https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-system-icons/blob/mast...

I love that the floppy disk persists as our visual metaphor for the concept of "saving". It's a wonderful remnant of a dead technology that I hope persists well into the future.

If language can behave that way ("hang up" and "dial" are popular anachronisms), then so should visual indicators. I'm always happy to see Atari Pong joysticks and SNES control pads used for video game icons.

It's amazing how old our problems are. By that I mean how much they come up throughout history.

- Who counts as a citizen

- Who has the land

- Who gets welfare/benefits

- Who is anathema

- Who mediates power (bureaucrats? nobility? monarch? people?)

It's like a laundry list of issues that bagged ancient Rome, enlightenment France and late Tsarist Russia.

EDIT: It blew my mind when I actually started to read up on the French Revolution and found that besides what to do with the Monarchy, the issue that really divided them was Universal Manhood Suffrage. For years I had been fed the vague notion that some quasi-social-utopian issues were at the heart of it. But they really just couldn't agree on whether all men should be allowed to vote.

I wonder if we will have future discussions about different programming decisions to cull various general intelligent computer programs that have converged on dangerous thought patterns (e.g. destruction focused).

These GI systems will have more advanced capabilities/intelligence than any known animal, and one could therefore argue they have higher moral standing. They will have evolved just like the animals, but on a vastly accelerated timescale due to parallelization.

Name any single policy that Trump and Biden are "basically" the same on. They are probably further apart than any two nominees in history.

> As for Guns, you’re just wrong.

I showed you data. Do you have any data?

> As to “Gun owners favor gun control” - if you believe that you are just misinformed.

The majority[1] of gun owners support the following gun-control measures:

- banning gun purchases by mentally ill people

- closing the gun-show loophole

- banning gun purchases by people on watch lists

- creating a federal database to track gun sales

> I think these are stupid policies that don’t save lives, and have definitely helped Trump both in 2016 and now.

Gun control saves many lives, mostly from suicide and accidents.

> I pick gun control because it is so ineffective, and it’s easily substituted with better polices if you want to save lives.

It's not that effective, but it's a top-of-mind issue for a large part of Biden's base (Black people).

Not intensive farming is less bad than intensive farming but in your example, a cow still needs to have a calf and that calf slaughtered for milk to keep coming. And that cow will be killed off the moment it stops making enough milk which is a fraction of its natural life span. It’s not like not intensive farming is innocent either.

And for shit and giggles, check what’s the proportion of industrially farmed meat vs non intensive that’s sold every day.
