Becoming a housewife isn't really an aspirational achievement in the way having a prestigious career is, and I don't think it's a story many are really interested in, nor one that would be easy to tell in a manner that doesn't seem forced.

That is actually the premise of the ABC show "American Housewife" which has run for at least 5 seasons (the main character is a housewife, and does not aspire to be anything more than the best housewife she can be, because she sees it as just as fulfilling than--or even more fulfilling as-- being employed in the workforce.)
This is a very silly question. Open Source is a development methodology, not a business.

It's like saying "There's still no viable business model for science."

Just makes no sense. I've been making a living on Open Source code (now at FAANG) for over 30+ years. It's all about the code, someone else does the business (thank goodness, I'm terrible at that :-).

Everything "legit" scales along with the cost of API access

Everything else scales along with the cost of outsourcing that risk to services located outside of the US (like serpapi.com) who implement lots of proxies and workarounds

I'm not sure if there will be margins, so if it scales, it'll have to be very cost-consciously
Dropbox and AirBnB had the added value of being simpler use than whatever they replaced.

Wish does not have that. The shopping experience on Aliexpress is similar if not better and it is backed by Alibaba so it will only grow. Wish capitalizes on low customer expectations and dirt cheap prices. There is nothing in that business model that can't be easily copied by another Chinese company.
Strange... "Nbdev is a system for something that we call exploratory programming." but no citation... the phrasing suggests this is something they believe they've come up with a name for?

I think there's an underestimated resistance to changing the labor rate. If a company quotes a typical job at 80 man-hours with $15/hr welders, and a year later you want to hire welders and can only find them at $20, they're more likely to complain there's a welder shortage and decline jobs because they don't have enough welders to complete them than increase their labor rate. Plus, if you increase the rate for a new guy, and your $12/hr hire from a decade ago hears the new hire is making $20, he's going to be pissed, so you'd have to increase costs across the board or suppress discussion of salaries.
More testing and the PCR iterations are off the scale (over 40). They're basically picking up tons of false positives. With that type of PCR testing, it's like picking up background radiation with a Geiger counter and saying you've been exposed to deadly radiation.

It was a cultural problem. Symbolics were really trying to build their own LISP-specific DEC-10-a-like, using DEC-style mini and mainframe computer design traditions, but at slightly lower cost.

There were a number of projects like that around at the time, including the Three Rivers/ICL PERQ which was optimised for PASCAL, and arguably DEC's PDP-11 range whose entire architecture was closely aligned with C and eventually C++, pointers and all.

These were all interesting machines without a future, because the early 80s were a crossover when it turned out that model was too bloated to be sustainable. DEC scraped through the bottleneck with Alpha, but couldn't keep it together as business. Meanwhile the 16-bit and early 32-bit architectures were eating everyone's lunch. SGI and Sun flared up in this space and died when their price/performance ratio couldn't compete with commoditised PCs and Macs - which happened sooner than hardly anyone expected.

This is obvious now, but it wasn't at all obvious then. The workstation market and the language-optimised market both looked like they had a real future, when in fact they were industrial throw-backs to the postwar corporate model.

So it wasn't just the AI winter that killed Symbolics - it was the fact that both hardware and software were essentially nostalgic knock-offs of product models from 5-10 years earlier that were already outdated.

Meanwhile the real revolution was happening elsewhere, starting with 8-bit micros - which were toys, but very popular toys - and eventually leading to ARM's lead today, via Wintel, with Motorola, the Mac, and the NeXT/MacOS as a kind of tangent.

The same cycle is playing out now with massively accelerated GPU hardware for AI applications, which will eventually be commoditised - probably in an integrated way. IMO Apple are the only company to be thinking about this integration in hardware, and no one at all seems to be considering what it means for AI-enhanced commoditised non-specialised software yet.

Apple are giving it some thought, Google are thinking about it technologically, plenty of people are attempting Data Engineering - but still, the current bar for application ideas seems very quite limited compared to the possibilities a personal commoditised integrated architecture could offer, because again current platforms have become centralised and industrialised.

There's a strong centrifugal and individualistic tendency in personal computing which I suspect will subvert that - and we'll see signs of it long before the end of the decade.
Oh wrong one.

one of my first checks for a dev font is typing "lst vs 1st" (list vs first).

In some the lowercase "l" looks almost the same as a 1 (one).
Some will make the lower case "l" curved, but then some (like Iosevka) will remove the bottom bar for a one.
I don't really agree. The vast majority of applications are fine being written in whatever flavor of high-level, garbage collected, memory safe language you want. There are many nice options with pretty much any set of feature and style choices you could want.

The rest of these applications have either hard realtime or hard performance requirements or both. What I don't see in these apps, is for memory safety issues to be 'ok'.* It's 2020, using a memory safe language should be table stakes for new projects at this point.

----------

* The one exception I can think of is single player video games where the worst that can happen is basically just a crash to desktop. Multiplayer games are a different story especially with the trend toward paid DLC where these kinds of issues could result in anything from exploits in multiplayer matches (hurting the community and thus the game overall) or players circumventing DLC restrictions (resulting in a loss of profit).
It's funny you say that because most modern FPS games are about American Christians 'taking care' of large groups of people in foreign lands, including Muslims in the Middle East, Chinese, North Koreans etc.

This is somehow fine as these are our official 'state enemies'.
It is funny how the problem is when it is turned around.
There is only so much you can do as a parent and it's not easy knowing the right answer without hindsight, but personally as a child who broke every firewall used to control my browsing habits, who engaged routinely with people 10+ years older, I have experienced more creeps in real life than online and most small communities I've been a part of would shut that stuff down immediately.

It's definitely a problem with scale as far as community moderation, however even when creeps made attempts at me online I knew to report, block and move on. I think our fear over exposing our children to topics of sexuality prevent them the chance to develop the appropriate sensibilities to avoid being targeted.

There's not an easy solution, but I hope that being open with my children about the kind of vile people in this world and the tactics they use to trick and manipulate others will instill enough common sense that I don't have to hover over their Roblox sessions. I'm curious if in hindsight you could have educated her better, or if you think it just didn't stick.
I hadn't thought of that, because I knew the premise. I wouldn't say that it's been done on purpose to sell more books, but I could absolutely understand, now that you mention it, if someone bought the book based on the title and would be extremely disappointed by it. (I mean, I knew sort of what it was about and was disappointed...)
This is basically a "loss leader" business model -- take a loss on selling milk, hoping that brings in customers to buy your cookies.

So in open source, there are some things you can do -- sell support (where the software is the thing that draws in the need for support). Second thing is sell a service that ties into the open source code. Third is have the core product open source, with paid add-ins. The paid add-ins is even more attractive if there is a third-party requirement that prevents the additional functionality from being open source (i.e., if you want to add Oracle database support to your backup code, you need to license [under NDA] a development kit from Oracle; or things like patented plugins for specific video streaming formats on a media app).
Just because you find some Chinese pottery somewhere doesn't mean that a Chinese merchant went all the way from China to trade it.

It's a convoluted setup I'm not sure I'd recommend to anyone else! :) Still tinkering on it, but current rig is a Respeaker Core [0] running voice2json [1], which sends MQTT commands to a Mac Mini running mopidy [2], and the audio is routed through Airfoil [3] to multiple AirPlay speakers. (In theory, a Pi could drive all that directly, using shairport [4] rather than Airfoil.)

The major shortcoming is that Airfoil doesn't support Airplay 2, so it doesn't take full advantage of HomePod stereo pairing; and while the sync is perfect, it comes at the cost of massive lag (5+ seconds). Sounds great though!

You have to weigh the risk of the vaccine vs the risk of the disease. If you are in 100% control of your exposure, sure wait. But if you aren't in control of your exposure (e.g., have to go to work, have kids in school), then there is no reason to think the risk of the vaccine is anywhere close to the risk of getting Covid. I have kids in school, and can't wait until it is available.
> Welders, especially, are _always_ in short supply.

In short supply for the wages offered. Bid enough out there, and the positions will fill. Bid consistently such that precarity is avoided and bid even more beyond that, and the bench will deepen. Short supply is entirely addressable by buyers.

There haven't been any other mRNA vaccines at all.

This is the very first one, and on an accelerated schedule.

So the answer to your question is unknown, and whoever goes first gets to be part of the large study answering that question.

Personally I'm going to wait for either a conventional vaccine, or at least a year or so by lots of other people. (It helps that I'm 90% sure I had it already, and I'm low risk on top of that.)

Housewives as main characters are featured in most of ABC's shows, including at one point all of their Wednesday comedy block alongside Modern Family.

> "way over there away from anything" doesn't really matter in the case of a serious accident?

The current level of burning coal equates to roughly 50 nuclear meltdowns a year because coal contains thorium. So in terms of "putting it anywhere," an in-place switch from coal to fission in a populated area is actually safer.

In addition, the article identifies outdated designs as the primary reason for the cost of nuclear plant rollout. Guess what? Modern plant designs are passively safe, particle physics (not electronics, nor mechanics, nor humans) prevents criticality events.
Some. Dirt cheap solar panels from China also had tariffs slapped on them by Obama which offset much of that and killed the solar boom a few years ago.

The oil and gas industry is also subsidized at federal and state level, of course.
The boomercons in my circle have given up on fiscal responsibility and have now just accepted the fact that we're going to default at some point, so there's no point in fretting about it. It'll be interesting to see if the Congress critters follow suit.
> Until now adopting Erlang or Akka meant restricting yourself to a single language ecosystem,

"Erlang" itself is a single language, but the BEAM/OTP ecosystem isn't usable only from that language (Elixir is fairly widely used, and there are others with less-broad use).

But, even funnier is saying that about Akka: Akka is a JVM library built in Scala and usable from almost any language on the JVM (so, in addition to its "native" Scala you also have Java, Kotlin, Ruby [by way of JRuby], Clojure, and...well, listing languages with JVM implementations that could use Akka could go on virtually forever.)
> Have there been other mRNA vaccines...

There haven’t been other approved mRNA vaccines, period. And COVID just isn’t that big of a concern for most people.

Thanks for the feedback!

1. In the original comment there is a link to a demo created by Kyrix: http://wildfire.kyrixdemo.live/ Are you looking for a different type of demo?

2. Honest answer: we are very understaffed academics who also need to write papers and theses. We want to convert to TS, that is just one item on the wish list.

3. We want everyone to be able to spin up a Kyrix app on their laptop using 3 CLI commands (you can try, instructions are in the README). With a backend and a database comes the cost of complex installation. Docker helps make everyone's dev environment consistent so it's easier to troubleshoot.
Wish in one hand, * in the other and see which fills up faster.

I've been hearing similar stories for the last 30 years.

In that time the energy mix feeding my house has gone roughtly from 50% coal:40% nuke:10% NG, to 30% nuke:30% NG:30% coal: 10% wind. For an increase in total CO2 production, despite a slightly better CO2/MW rating due to moving from coal to NG.

No one AFAIK, has managed to get their "green" energy solutions down to the levels france was in the 1980's, despite the increases in cost that come with not only having to build energy production, but 2-3x the production in storage.

The day its actually cheaper to put solar on your average house with a tesla power wall will be the day there is a shitton of home equity loans being taken out to do so. Or for that matter people knocking on everyones door offering to do it for "free" to sell the power back to the grid.

Right now most of the green energy solutions are "inexpensive" because they are being supported by natural gas generators. Meaning they are cleaner than standalone gas, but still a carbon source.
Sure, except the Earth rotates and we can only collect said energy for half the day. It's also fluctuates in the amount of energy collected seasonally (tilt of Earth's axis), and most energy demand happens to occur in northern latitudes where these fluctuations are more extreme. Our ability to store energy remains orders of magnitude smaller than what is required to actually use this as a primary source of energy.

This doesn't provide a path to a decarbonized energy sector. It's a good way of mitigating emissions while a real decarbonization solution is implemented. Right now nuclear is the only known way of doing that, save for geographically dependent sources like hydroelectricity and geothermal power.

Multiple countries generate the majority of their electricity from nuclear power. No country generates more than 15% of their energy from solar power, and only 3 countries (Malta, Yemen, Honduras) generate more than 10%.

> In most languages, "religion" will imply an ordered belief in a supernatural entity and set of accompanying practices.

Rather, in modern, western English we consider "religion" to mean that. Islam for examples uses the word 'Deen', the meaning of it includes how you looked at the world and your entire way of life.

Deen means basically exactly the stuff you say religion is not a synonym for :)
An unrealistic goal. No man is an island.
Thank you for your input, and for the link to your insights. I'm working on bootstrapping an open-source project that solves a very common problem in a certain development niche, and finding a functional model for getting paid for the time I put in has been a thorn in my side. A similar approach to yours sounds very appealing.

You might be worrying that I can't tell the difference between a gamed/BS pull request and a genuine side project.

If someone "games the system" well enough that they can cogently explain something interesting about their side project, do I really need to know if they grudgingly learned it because of money concerns or out of a love of solving puzzles with computers? By the time you can explain your side work and have some level of understanding/explanation that you can share, that's strongly positively correlated to me.

If you happen to be bad at programming and grudgingly trudged through it, that might show up once you're employed, in which case it was a false-positive. But it's at least a somewhat expensive false-positive for you to generate.
This explanation doesn't really hold water. Some company is going to eventually win the contract by bidding with $20/hr welders right? It's not like the client is just going to give up on their project.
> MRI Ruby was slow and problematic.

Why problematic?

On the slowness, I would agree that Ruby is slower than many languages, but as an interpreted language this is -up to a certain point- by design, or at least an accepted part of the trade-off one accepts when he takes a programming language. Moreover, Ruby's natural competitor is Python, not -say- Clojure; and I wouldn't that Ruby is significantly slower than Python.
