> They do not read any documentation I write about me or my software.

It’s a vicious cycle. If you have bad documentation, people won’t read it, but without people reading the documentation no one wants to spend time writing it.

Even when you have good documentation (which by the way is decided by the readers, not the writers) you still need to educate users constantly that it exists and should be referred to.

I refer customers to documentation that is well written and almost always correct on a daily basis, and as soon as they understand where to look and know there aren’t gaps, they’ll start using it (because if there’s gaps and they need to contact support anyway, you might as well skip the doc step completely and get a correct response instead).

Documentation is one of those things that aren’t obviously necessary enough for most stake holders behind the scenes, and it only starts to hurt when you’re at the point where you wish someone started documenting a year ago.

I agree asking about a cultural difference is fine, and I also think there's a way to do it, and that the top-level comment was way wide of that mark: it doesn't read like someone that wants to learn about a culture to me, it reads like someone glad of an opportunity to have a go.
I can't read the (paywalled) article, but I did read the book "Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest" by Matthew Restall, summarized in [1]. In said book the author posits that the Spaniards were mostly outnumbered and resorted to "theatrical violence" as a way to exert control over the population and turn them into a compliant labor force.

That still makes them pretty bad though, even if there is a somewhat rational reason to be bad. Their badness was one of their tools in the conquest.

I wonder if vlang may be the No Man's Sky of languages: initial launch over-committed and under-delivered, but steady progress helped build it into a good product. V definitely isn't there yet, and every time I go try it again it seems janky, but I'm glad to see it's making progress.
I don’t think the problem is with programming languages, but with JavaScript specifically, since it was never designed to be stretched this far. TypeScript is an improvement, but if you could write C or whatever on the client side and run it as easily as JS I think more people would go that route.

Christ, no wonder communism took over part of the world; arguing with you commies is exhausting.

I was going to write more but consider this since you clearly don't know what "whataboutism" is or what the meaning of the word conflate is (otherwise you would have understood my argument): imperialist countries practice imperialism. You tied imperialism to capitalism. My argument with bringing in communist countries that practiced imperialism is to show you that regardless of how you organize your economy, you can be imperialist.

You don't have evidence to show that if a capitalist country was communist instead that it would not have engaged in the conquest that it did.

You should ask your city or state for a refund on your AP Language course.

Definitely! Already to have successfully compiled a working kernel is an achievement as most of my last attempts over the years failed. But I really want to satisfy those demanding user-space binaries who complains the kernel is too old.

It's quite satisfying to have grown from "struggling to build from source" to hunting 2.36 era patches and diving in the code to port it. A lot of actual learning in the process.

> it's not difficult to get them to draw less average current than the leakage current of their battery.

Well... depends on the battery. A bog-standard AA Alkaline battery has 2500 mA-hr (from 1.5V to 1V, @100mA draw: https://data.energizer.com/pdfs/e91.pdf), and have a ~3%/year self discharge rate. That's a leakage current of 75mA-hrs / year, or ~10 uA if I did my math correctly. Lithium, and watch button batteries (Silver) leak even less!

ATTiny 1607 is specified at 6uA at 1.8V @ 32kHz active mode (though 5V barely is any more current). It looks like STM32G031J4 is ~20 uA at "low-power mode" @ 1.8V 32kHz (a special mode below 2MHz). Which is a lot better than I was expecting. (Note to others who may not know this: this is likely a Cortex-M0+ design only. Typical ARMs will not be able to reach this low level of power. Heck, larger STM32 Cortex-M4 processors probably have a much higher minimum clockrate)

Both chips are ~200 uA at 2MHz, Which gets you to ~500 days of continuous operation from 2500 mA-hr AA.

------

Yeah, there's a bunch of batteries that self-discharge in just 3-months. But... alkaline AA exist for a reason! Low-self discharge, and they're actually really good at these milliamp/microamp levels of current. And again, its all about those silver-watch batteries or lithium-watch batteries if you really want the lowest self-discharge in the market. (~5 years per silver-watch battery, but you need to draw stupidly low amounts of current).

It seems like the ATTiny 1607 still has a superior sleep mode compared to STM32G031J4, so if you're sleeping most of the time on a watch battery, maybe ATTiny wins.

I do agree with you though: it does seem like STM32 has really dropped their power down a lot. I don't know if STM32 always supported 32kHz clock rates however, I seem to remember them having a higher minimum clock rate last time I checked this out. Lowering those clock speeds really helps at minimizing power. And I expect AA-batteries to be the typical size of most people's hobby projects.

I dunno if "full static" is really needed, since 32kHz is still really, really low power. It seems nice that ATTiny / ATMegas hve 0Hz as an option (maybe if an external temporary clock turns on only occasionally in a power-constrained environment).

>Of course we would never confuse another species for a human

Yes, this is what I mean. There is seemingly no organism/species that I would confuse whether to classify it as human or not human but I'm pretty sure there are species/organism albeit is rare that I would be in hard time categorizing it as cat or not cat.

Another example is human male and human female, albeit is rare but there is some human population that I would have a hard time deciding which category to put.
> Neither party perfectly represents my views, nor would you expect that to happen if political parties are acting rationally. But the debate over the appointment of ACB struck me as a great example of why I find aspects of the Democratic platform to be objectionable. ACB is, in the tradition of Scalia, an originalist justice. She is not perfect, but her commitment is to interpret the constitution as it was understood when it was written, not as she wishes it to be understood today.

> The principle objection to this appointment was that she might overturn Roe v Wade or the ACA... even if an originalist interpretation of the constitution might (but not necessarily would) show that the ACA is unconstitutional. It seemed like an indefensible position to be saying "we don't like her because she tries really hard to interpret the constitution correctly".

Honestly, I'm not sure if that was the "principle objection." Maybe in normal times it would have been, but in these times her confirmation was egregiously hypocritical given the treatment Merrick Garland got (and the stated reasons for that treatment).

It's also a stretch that originalists interpret the Constitution "correctly" (and therefore others interpret it "incorrectly"), given there's no prescribed interpretive framework. The label "originalist" may be considered a clever bit of propaganda, because even Scalia, who did the most to define that view, would interpret it as he "wish[ed] it to be understood today" when it suited him (IIRC, he was called out on this in a dissent by one of the other justices in a gun rights case). This idea of judicial originalism also breaks down in light of the fact that you arguably can't apply "the constitution as it was understood when it was written" to things that were not understood when it was written.

In a novel situation, a judge is going to have to break new ground just to do his job, and that will be labeled "legislating from the bench" or not depending on if the commenter agrees with the decision or not.
That’s a stellar protocol, if I do say so myself.
Ethereum does not follow the SEC's definition of "decentralized":

If the network on which the token or coin is to function is sufficiently decentralized – where purchasers would no longer reasonably expect a person or group to carry out essential managerial or entrepreneurial efforts – the assets may not represent an investment contract.

https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/speech-hinman-061418

However, in Ethereum's case, it is designed to literally implode due to ice age if Vitalik doesn't intervene. The SEC was probably not cognizant of this fact when they made their statement.

A job that supports the core business is definitely not the same thing as a job unique to the product offering or business model.

e.g. food safety is something that is important to PepsiCo's business, yet they are far from the only business that needs food safety expertise. In contrast, they may also need potholes filled in the parking lot, but they may choose to hire outside help for this, because they do not do it enough to be good or efficient at it. Paying a middleman is often cheaper than hiring labor directly. Labor is the largest single cost for most businesses.

> is this similar on how integrals always have a constant as a free parameter that need to be determined by other means?

Not really, no. It's a consequence of the assumptions made when the Einstein Field Equation (EFE) is derived from a Lagrangian using the principle of least action.

The assumptions are that the Lagrangian should be a Lorentz scalar (which is required of any Lagrangian) and that it should include no more than second derivatives of the metric. The Ricci scalar R meets this requirement and is the Lagrangian that was originally used by David Hilbert to derive the EFE (without a cosmological constant). But a simple constant (the cosmological constant) also meets the requirement, and therefore should be included in the Lagrangian; including it leads to the cosmological constant term in the EFE.
Thanks.

Would disagree with "nothing to show for them" though.

The V compiler was written in V from the start at the time of the release, which already shows the maturity of the language, and it did compile itself in less than a second. Bootstrapping it has always been as simple as `cc v.c`. It had a graphics library from the start with a working Tetris game example, hot code reloading, etc

It was definitely rough around the edges due to being a one man project, so it's good that it received help from hundreds of contributors. It's much more stable now.

Taxes are part of the social contract for living in the US. If you don't like it then you can try finding a different country to live in. But don't act surprised when trying to skirt around the contract gets you in trouble.
"I’m afraid trying to explain anything would be a lost cause" that's intellectually dishonest. Don't participate if you wont explain your position and won't address arguments.

As I said and you didn't address - this is a powers issue. Governments don't just get granted one singular law and nothing else. That kind of law gives them overall power to regulate. If a government can tell a private entity that they have to host user content they don't want - then they can do the opposite as well.

If your not familiar with powers issues then you have a lot of education infront of you.
Maybe it's related to the reason why you can't use the 5k iMac as an external monitor. I can't remember where I found the sources, but the problem was that they essentially needed to video cards to drive the thing and making sure that both sides of the output looked identical was tricky and not something that an external source would be able to do.
It definitely looks like good progress. You mentioned that DirectX and Metal support have been added; I'm curious why platform-specific APIs were prioritized over Vulkan. Were they actively prioritized for some reason, or did contributors just work on those first?

>go actually talk to some Republicans

You've implied that Republicans largely do not express the faults seen on social media, and then immediately described them as having those faults: Being motivated by petty identity politics, sorting people into rough categories and aiming hatred at those categories, etc. I'm not making a case that Republicans are worse in these regards - they're just the topic in this context, and I don't at all understand what you were trying to get across in your third sentence.
> that is copyright infringement and under this law would be criminal.

Whoa. This is crazy. Laws are stupid in that they can't be custom tailored for the situation of the accusation at hand. If I come out with a 0-day that allows me to bypass encryption of say Netflix that allows me a pristine copy of a video source that I then later stream on a paid-for streaming platform, then yes, that would be stealing. Therefore, criminal.

However, if you're some YT streamer, podcaster, etc that happens to receive money from ad share revenue and you have a segment with some copyrighted music in the background, then that is a far far way off from a criminal act. Civil maybe, but come on.

Laws need to be written so the punishment fits the crime/offense.

I strongly agree. Find a lawyer, find a lawyer, find a lawyer. To the OP, if you're in California, I'm happy to recommend mine. Adam Slote of Slote Links and Boreman, slotelaw.com. 20 years back somebody was trying to screw me over; he charged me $500 for a solid "don't fuck around or you'll regret it" letter. They paid up instantly. Since then he's been great a dealing with my startup stuff both as an employee and as a cofounder. And much of his work is in litigation, so if you do end up suing, he's the right person for it.

I also agree that the 1-year cliff is absolutely not standard for founders. Last time I did it, I had a 4-year reverse vest with no cliff at all.

TLDR: man and wife move to poor rural region of Indian, see wild fire problem caused by pine needles, invent a machine that turns pine needles into electricity and cooking fuel, employ villagers to pick up pine needles, deploy it to dozens of villages with help of the government and village entrepreneurs.

A success story that lifts people out of poverty with well-paying work, renewable electricity, and cooking fuel while cleaning up the environment in a scalable, decentralized, locally-suited way. Incredibly inspiring.

SQLite – Long Term Support
Speaking from experience at the receiving end, this kind of hatred is completely normal for a buggy launch. The difference is a fiasco on this level doesn't usually happen to big titles (being unplayable on current-gen consoles, their biggest market, is inexcusable).

The other big difference is the amplification by social media that's present for every pop-culture phenomenon makes the kerfuffle seem larger than it is. What passes for news media these days is mostly a large twitter echo-chamber.

I would bet 90% of gamers are like me. Disappointed in the launch, but definitely going to try the game once the main bugs are ironed out a few patches down the road.

Ripple is everything you don't want in a cryptocurrency:

- controlled by scammers

Private entities don't have their own laws. They can't summon police to take you away or hand out fines you didn't contract to. Governments can.

If a government has the power to make private entities host user content they don't want then they have overall regulatory power and can go in the opposite direction as well. That's why government has no business regulating private entities for "freedom of speech". Unless you want the government to be your speech.
