An old Detroit mansion is not an easy thing to maintain. Even if they aren’t full of ancient fixtures, wiring, plumbing, heating, and have a solid roof just maintaining a property like that in working order is no small and inexpensive task. These properties are rotting because people with the wherewithal to actually afford them don’t want the hassle.

I really hope this takes off. MySpace was the Geocities for the next generation. Express yourself, join a community, find new cool stuff. Facebook was the death of creativity until it eventually revived on Tumblr (and to a certain extent YouTube?).

If I have one feature request, it's a dedicated music (or any kind of event, really) scene thing that lets local people curate events and share them in a central town square, and lets randos find those local events. It could drive a whole lot of people who're not plugged into a scene to find awesome local events without having to go through some other portal, like newspaper event calendars, zines, rando facebook groups, etc. I spent a ridiculous amount of time curating events for punk shows by trawling MySpace pages because there was no other way to do it.
I usually just do the most recent year's whenever I have an itch to learn a new programming language, or one I know used differently. I like the problem format and the stars tracking progress.

Well, it remains to be seen if something like Boot Camp will return. Federighi's comment made me at least think that if MS allowed (and encouraged) Windows on ARM to run on Macs then Apple might do what it takes to make it happen. Time will tell.

Federighi quote: “We have the core technologies for them to do that, to run their ARM version of Windows, which in turn of course supports x86 user mode applications. But that’s a decision Microsoft has to make, to bring to license that technology for users to run on these Macs. But the Macs are certainly very capable of it.”

To be completely clear, this quote may have only been referring to virtualized operation, but given a change in the WinARM solution licensing model, Apple might support booting as they did on x86 Macs.
The company that forced me to buy a mac to develop for them?
I think one would have to have a background in modern algebra and physics to see where the "unification" is useful. Then it becomes a lot more obvious, for example Maxwell's equations can be compressed down to one equation with this type of algebra.

In any case, check section 10 for another application for physics.
There’s a pretty big opportunity cost to your time in life. It’s easy to get in sunk cost traps, including bad marriages and startups.

Life is short. Sometimes (as I learned) you need something new. Sometimes it just doesn’t seem to be working and being a kajillionare isn’t what’s most important in life. Sometimes whatever mission or product isn’t what you prioritize or even believe in anymore.

And that can be a good thing!

There’s nothing wrong with regularly reevaluating priorities. In fact too many people say they’re being “persistent” when they’re really just on autopilot and never gaining perspective. Some people are masochistically entrepreneurial by nature, and just go on autopilot doing that when it’s not a healthy thing for them to keep taking extreme professional risks all the time.

I'm an avid pass user too, but I think claiming that managing gpg keys is _simple_ is a bit of a stretch.

Creating a single key on one machine is not hard. Following proper best practices for gpg using subkeys and setting up pass to work nicely on multiple devices is a bit more involved and requires a decent understanding of gpg keys in general, which (correct me if I'm wrong), even most developers aren't super well versed in.
They dropped anything GNU because of the GPLv3, which was specifically designed to stop what the authors saw as exploitation of others' work.

I can see both sides here - the viral nature of GPLv3 is anathema to a company like Apple, so simply walking away was inevitable; and people were exploiting loopholes in the GPLv2 (I have no idea whether Apple was, but there are documented cases of others doing it).
The worst part of all is the endless money printing by central banks. Wages don’t keep up, and the vast majority of the new money goes straight to those who need it least. Meanwhile savings accounts pay nothing worth talking about. It’s a world for debtors that punishes savers, and actually saving up for meaningful assets becomes ever harder for our long suffering working class.

Open Source Is Having a Moment
My wife worked there for the transition. Her very first .net page was the MySpace homepage (which was demoed by Steve Ballmer at CES, iirc). Microsoft was very unhappy with the decision to retain the .cf extension on web pages even after the transition to .net. There were some crazy levels of scaling happening behind the scenes—they had database requirements beyond the capabilities of sql server and there was code on the server side to route to different sql clusters based on the user's numeric id. They also had more page views than they could sell ads for. There was actually a pretty crazed level of new feature development happening at the same time—any time that friendster or some other site would release a new feature, Tom would insist that it be implemented on MySpace right away. At the same time, he was also requiring things like pixel-for-pixel identical output for existing pages/features through all of this.

Slate Star Codex is, in my opinion, one of the best blogs on the internet, and this post seems like exactly the kind of advice that you're asking for: https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/02/20/writing-advice/
It's likely different for people who grew up on a farm and know it as normal life.

I've mostly just seen pictures of cows being butchered, but I did watch a rooster die when it had to be shot. It's not ideal. I still eat meat and will continue to do so until lab-grown alternatives are nutritionally and culinarily indistinguishable, and IMO what humans do for food is far more humane than what most of nature does.
The development methodology has nothing to do with whether something is FOSS or not.

If you're complaining that you want to see daily updates, that's a completely different thing than claiming it's not FOSS (as OP did).
You're right on both counts.

Doctors are encouraged to systematize and commoditize their "care", and few are able to stand up to the pressure.

Or just use plain old gpg and a git repo or backup service. Pass is good because it is roughly domain specific to passwords and secrets. I wouldn't exactly consider tax forms "secrets", but rather just private information. Adding everything private and the kitchen sink seems like a misuse, but if it works, it works!
Fact: WHO claimed that flights from China should not be banned, because China has it under control, and a travel ban would do nothing against spread.

Fact: Flights from China, including tourism, contributed to the spread of the coronavirus world-wide.

Fact: Instead of acknowledging this fact, the media blamed Trump for being a racist, for banning flights early on, despite what the WHO said.

Fact: WHO downplayed the role, responsibility, and severity, and their level of access/transparency of China. Since there is no health reason for doing that, that reason was economic (WHO decision makers being bought or hired), or political (WHO decision makers bowing to China's one-country policy).

So we have facts establishing: WHO lied, China lied and is in damage control, media lied and invoked racism over a lie, WHO can't be fully trusted to act in the public's health best interest, and can't be depended on for individual health best practices ("Don't wear mask, unless you are sick.").

Some may call those facts conspiracy theories. And if it is a fact that the media did not paint Trump as a racist for making a sane decision, then this just does not support my theory, that the media is biased against Trump, or being played by Trump to become emotional and make bad decisions. I can find other evidence that does support it. Just because the media behaves one time, disproofs nothing, unless my theory is "The Media is 100% anti-Trump". Which would be a poor straw-man theory, easily debunked.

You can use WP2Static and either run a container locally with something like https://lokl.dev, or spin up a VM that's firewalled off and access it through an SSH tunnel. The auto-on/-off part really does little for security, it's the firewalling that does the trick. Turning it off is good to save costs though.

I'm actually working on basically exactly what you described (using WP2Static), and we're planning for a competitive $10-15/mo price, but we're not quite ready for launch yet.
> once driver support arrives.

How will the GPU driver support arrive unless Apple opens up the specs to it? Either these open it up like AMD and the community writes a driver, or they keep it closed and people try to reverse engineer something that is a poor second best (hello Nouveau).

The sci-fi author Jerry Pournelle used to say that the first 1,000,000 words you write will not be very good. He was not alone:

> David Eddings, an American novelist who was most famous for his epic fantasy books, once gave the following advice to new writers:

> “My advice to the young writer is likely to be unpalatable in an age of instant successes and meteoric falls. I tell the neophyte: Write a million words–the absolute best you can write, then throw it all away and bravely turn your back on what you have written. At that point, you’re ready to begin.”

> That same advice has come from a number of other sources—it’s tough to determine just who said it first. Some point to legends such as Ray Bradbury or Jerry Pournelle, both of whom famously advice that new writers should write a million words before considering themselves ready to take up the cause.

I have vague memories of named pipes between GUI programs that also went along with datatypes.

eg in the file dialog of GUI app 1 saving a file to something (I forget the details) like PIPE:foo, then in GUI app 2 opening that data from PIPE:foo without it having to go to disk (I suppose when you're dealing only with floppies that is a bigger deal than now).

Am I hallucinating? ;)
No, but that argument is a bad for the same reason why it's bad when applied to climate change. No single lump of coal caused climate change, the problem is the avoidable harm in aggregate.
That's a pretty immature response, but I guess that's not surprising.
Why not serve the generated static content from a different domain? Assuming all links to the dynamic pages are relative, you don't need to rewrite the urls that way. Alternatively just update the crawler to rewrite any url that matches certain rules.

As for hiding certain element, maybe appending some simple css to the generated pages to hide them is enough? something like `.login-form {display: none !important;}`
I specialized to get over a similar hump in my career.

The good thing is software development is now a skill underpinning many other fields. There are deeper tech specializations beyond just “software development”

Around my 30s I knew I wanted to stay technical and not go into management. I ended up specializing in search engines (like site search using Elasticsearch). I intentionally pushed hard into a personal brand and skills around the niche. It’s a very in demand space. It’s very hard. I still write lots of code. But it’s combinddd with domain knowledge, data science, nlp, and lots of other cool fields.

I have other friends that have specialized based on other opportunities their careers have presented them, including:

- legacy software refactoring and management

- native C development

- wireless protocols

- operating system internals and drivers

- A/B testing

- MySQL performance

- JavaScript front end performance

- Various scientific fields where coding is useful

There’s so many niches in demand that it’s really hard to think of software development as “one thing”. It really behooves you if you want to stay technical to build a brand around a consistent focus area that interests you. You’ll have more fun AND make more money.
How do they verify that it's empty? Is there some national registry of people's declared residence, and if that property is not occupied by someone's primary residence, it gets taxed at this penalty rate?

Conclusion.

It’s almost like a five paragraph essay from middle school. This is the basic format.

Create an outline that lists all your top level ideas. Create sub topics with as many details as you can. —- then try to convert this to the above format. Edit. Then wait two days and edit it again. Wait two days and edit it again.

Edit until you are happy. But I would suggest spending at least a week from first sentence to final product.
It wasn't altruism, they did it because it would help sell more hardware and bring more people into the Apple ecosystem.

If they see a similar use for Linux support, they'll do the same. If they think it will hurt them in some way, they won't.

But I think it's fair to at least consider the "undermine" possibility considering that on iPhones they've consistently blocked attempts to jailbreak or open that platform in the way an alternate OS does on their Macs. We've already seen incremental moves to make MacOS app distribution more centrally controlled. So I honestly don't know where Apple believes their long-term interested to be on the topic of facilitating, or at least not actively blocking Linux.

> It seems crazy to me that they're allowed to do this. Imagine paying 30% more for software on your computer.

Thankfully nobody buys games on Steam to encourage such awful behavior.

I too long for the low markup over wholesale that we used to enjoy on boxed software before the advent of these predatory app stores.

> At least on Google phones you're allowed to jailbreak it and install whatever you want if you're a power user, but you can't do this on Apple's phones.

It is undoubtely very true that you are allowed to jailbreak Google phones but Apple phones are forbidden. Chalk it up to Apple's absolutely unbreakable security and bug-free OS and the DMCA.

It would be very nice if we could get a DMCA exception to explicitly legalize jailbreaking, like this one from 2018:

I don't think the poor and down-trodden are buying up homes in Vancouver. The issue is rich foreign investors buying up real estate either as vacation homes or investment properties. The only way these people contribute to the economy and community of Vancouver is through taxes. Raising the taxes should theoretically make this type of investment less desirable (and thus more affordable for poorer local residents)

Notably the (linked) Blackmagic camera maxes out at 6K. I don't think any "action cam" vendors have an 8K offering either.

Just shows that 8K remains a cutting edge feature and isn't surprising that a still-camera has marginal support for it.
I think Ponzi scheme might not be the right term here, and to be fair (thanks for reaching out) my goal is not to have you prove anything.

I’ll address one thing - the Twitter audience course. There is no secret/hidden Twitter audience strategy. Post good stuff, engage with others with insights that provide value, don’t post BS. That’s it. That’s the strategy. Anything beyond that is made up stuff. People on Twitter follow those that provide meaningful content that is useful. Short of that, any other automation schemes, follow/unfollow tactics, are just for inflating low quality numbers.

I really enjoyed the part about recollecting vs rereading. This changed my perspective on how to read things. I have noticed I read less nonsense and retain more of the important topics. Also tried it with software docs. Although recollecting API names didnt help me make better software decisions but it came in handy while writing code. A bit of fluency helped reduce friction since I could code with less context switches.

It's...really not that hard to tell if a residence is being used or not.

It doesn't even need to be a national registry if people. You know who owns what house and who is married to who. You also know who is living where.

With the data states have in the US I can get a pretty confident list of empty houses.
> No mainstream US politician is proposing socialism in the Marxist sense or the authoritarian mold.

They're not proposing it, they've been implementing it.

The bloated Federal Government is socialism. The Federal Reserve System is socialism. Student loans, Freddie and Fannie, FDA... That's all socialism, it's just not evenly distributed.

Almost all mainstream parties and politicians in the US are socialists.

Where he's wrong is here:

> "We have to recognize that some of the progressive insights are important, and they shouldn't go away

None are important and they shouldn't be forced upon people by politicians. Who finds them valuable should practice them with own money.
