Assuming all that is true, reality is extremely unpredictable. Imagine a country is at war and they accidentally drop bombs on the reactor that crack the fuel and change the chemistry enough. A volcano erupts under the plant. Imagine a nuclear weapon going off nearby and causing a meltdown (for example, if the attacker was using a "low yield" neutron bomb). Imagine an astronomical phenomenon that happens to pass through the plant.

Low probabilities, but man they would suck.
I would say so. Just like GTK is native on GNOME but definitely not on Windows. "native" (to me) really just means whatever the system is designed for.
I went with the BYOC route for my current side project: https://inter.tube

It’s a music locker service with a custom web client. Instead of writing my own native app I implemented the Subsonic protocol: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp

It’s awesome to have a polished native app for “free” (eg. play:Sub on iOS is really nice) but it’s such an underspecified and loose spec that implementing it was a huge pain in the ass. For example, clients will choke on results missing values that are specified to be optional in the spec. The spec imposes integer offsets for pagination but my database wants string continuation tokens. It’s specified as XML but there’s an option to make it JSON with zero information on how to deal with discrepancies. Some clients use GET, some POST, some mangle the URL or capitalize random paths. I just had to reverse engineer pre-existing servers to figure out what clients can handle and there’s still a few clients that are mysteriously broken. I’m going to have to test as many as possible and create a list of recommended ones.

I’m happy I went with BYOC but I highly recommend to plan for it from the start so you can deal with the protocol’s weaknesses sooner than later.
I suspect I encountered the same bug (in vanilla Emacs). It seems in Emacs 27 they introduced support for sql-indent-mode[1][2] which is not shipped by default but is in elpa. However there is a hook that checks if that package is installed, if so then loads it by default. It seems when not installed, somehow said hook messes things up in org-mode.

Thanks to some investigative work from Doom Emacs people[3][4], I have found that my issue was fixed by simply installing the sql-indent package. Of course you would need to make sure these settings are set to true to enable tab acting according to native mode in source code blocks:

(setq org-src-tab-acts-natively t)
(setq org-src-preserve-indentation t)
(setq org-src-fontify-natively t)

And yes, I wasn't amused by this. I had another problem with shell mode indentation in org source blocks as well. That said, while the lack of cohesion due to decentralised nature of Emacs development occasionally surfaces like this, I think it would be unfair to not mention that org-mode when not buggy - which is more often than not - makes a lot of great features accessible. For instance, it automatically connects to Postgres, runs my query fragment, and populates an org-mode table (which are awesome) with the resulting output - I find this feature invaluable.

Oh and if you are a Spacemacs user, perhaps give Doom Emacs a try.

Help me build Cosmopolitan Libc. We're using modern compilers to build programs that are tinier and more portable than anything developers even as far back as the 70's or 80's were able to produce. https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/howfat.html I built a LISP interpreter too, which makes Altair BASIC look bloated by comparison. https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp I will say that 20mb isn't too shabby if we judge the OP's project by Electron standards. If NodeGUI was pruned a bit more, it wouldn't be too far off from where Go is at right now for Hello World on the console. Although one does have to take into consideration that it assumes external dependencies are available such as V8 I assume? Does it statically build? One thing I'm curious about is I looked at the yarn lock file and I couldn't find Qt so I have no idea where it comes from.
Given we know how long it has been 40 years away, 20 years away, and now 5 years away, we can estimate how long it will be until it is 0 years away. Unless it goes down by a power of 2 each time.

Ben from Stratechery touched on that recently.

A good point he had is that this kind of thing would, seemingly counter-intuitively (but it makes sense) strengthen the incumbents and stifle both innovation and competition.

Innovation -> Interoperability has a (maintenance) cost and would probably quickly devolve to "lowest common denominator functionality" while raising yet another barrier to entry for new companies

Competition -> Incumbents could pretty much just exploit new companies as "market research" and gobble up all their features and data if they deem the experiment successful, at no cost
I enjoyed the book "You Can Draw in 30 Days" [1]. It gets into practice straight away, explaining the concepts as you need them. The daily exercises range from 20~40 minutes.

> While the issue is still hotly debated, the biggest causes for inequality and wage stagnation since the 1980s in order of impact is: skill-biased technological change (tech favoring skilled workers and amplifying their output, network effects, winner take all economics), globalization and offshoring, and China.

> For comparison, the rise of China alone is believed to account for the loss of 20%+ of the manufacturing sector. Income taxes across the board are inequality decreasing in their effect

This narrative comes from people who have no understanding of manufacturing and don't take the time to check their predictions. An incredibly simple test is checking if decreases in american manufacturing employment coincide with increases in chinese and other overseas production (hint: they don't) or if american production decreased at the same imports grew (they didn't).

The main factor in manufacturing has been process changes which have dramatically increased worker productivity. For example, in 1920 it took 3 man-hours to produce 1 ton of steel in the US, now in the US 1 man hour produces 300 tons. And the improved productivity was not limited to developed countries with expensive labor markets - comparable changes were seen in countries like brazil and south africa over the same period.

People imagine such technological changes to be things like robots and machinery automating low skill tasks, and it's easy enough to see that's not happening. However people rarely appreciate where the real cost is in manufacturing. Take for example a plastic extruder: it takes a whole team of skilled people to get it started up, but a single unskilled person can easily operate it while it is running. Simple changes that allow you to run that extruder for longer without stopping, such as switching shift times and online maintenance, significantly reduce labor requirements even though no tasks are being automated.

The fact is americans are producing more, but they're not being compensated more. There aren't immigrants, foreigners, or robots doing the jobs cheaper, the jobs simply aren't being done because they are unnecessary now. Really, the issue is that the costs of these goods and services which are now so much easier to produce should have fallen but didn't (despite that 1000 fold increase in steel production per unit of labor, inflation adjusted the price of steel has remained constant over the same time period).
I'm pretty protective of my batteries, but one time my wife accidentally ran one to empty and now it's a $120 paperweight. Battery prices are a big sticking point for me as my budget is just a little too small to be ok spending so much on one, and this incident made me reconsider staying electric in the future.
Also, how strong are the convective forces in those materials to upwell heavy elements? Can heavy elements circulate towards the crust?

This is completely false. Your laws do not follow you around on the internet.
Sure, but they have to think ahead. GPUs make sense for ethereum, but not bitcoin (which moved from GPUs to FPGAs to ASICs). Ethereum is moving from proof of work to proof of stake. I expect the used market to flood with used mining GPUs once that happens.

I remember thru hiking on the AT and finding tracts distributed by a local quasi-cult. It was astonishing to see how they seemed to know exactly what I was thinking about the shallowness and consumerism of society, things like that.

Some people pay attention to the things said by those they aim to control, and then feed that back to them. I could literally feel it tugging at my brain. It was one of the most visceral “I’m dodging a bullet right now” feelings I’ve ever had.

Critical thinking is a critical skill!

Also on the point of gangs, there’s a documentary that shines a great light on how people fall into it, and on the other side of the coin, parts of law enforcement: The House I Live In.

No, what would change is that you'd get people from hundreds of years ago expressing conservatism or liberalism _for the time_. It's neither fashion nor facial structure, it's more or less intensity of facial scrunch vs. innocence, or wariness vs invitation. This is going to hold true for all humans and indeed for similar enough animals so long as they have the ability for comparable postures and expressions (dogs and cats would have the capacity for posture but I think dogs are more capable of brow expression/mobility, and of course monkeys and apes are close parallels to human expression)

So you could, in a limited sense, tell whether you've got a hippie cat or one who wants the hippies to get off its litterbox :) the latter will give you more side-eye, and more of a narrowed gaze.
Is there a way to have some small application that talks to the machine via a set of HTTP apis?

I envision something where you can just use your regular web app, have the user install the "Desktop Connector" which would be listening at say, port 8000 - then your web app can talk to the desktop via those APIs, instead of installing an Electron or related.

I must be missing/forgetting something crucial since that seems like the most straightforward solution imaginable.

Some clarification on that from the maker of the parent project, NodeGUI, here: https://twitter.com/a7ulr/status/1225498258233053184?s=21

Atul is licensing NodeGUI as MIT, so I’m licensing Svelte NodeGUI as MIT accordingly.
Since you mentioned Nier: Automata, I'll just add that I've been playing it with proton for the past 2 weeks. I'm at ~20 hours of playtime and it's been flawless so far (without resorting to any 3rd party patch like FAR).
>Who is at fault here? The tech lead.

Now assume that the moment the tech lead calls out any of these issues, the engineer screams "racism" and the tech lead gets fired on the spot. And nobody will step in to defend the tech lead, because "you are defending a racist, hence you are a racist yourself".
Augmented Reality could bridge the gap. Take a look at Pokemon Go or Geocaching as examples.
I wouldn't call it the worst way to draw -- these studies are excellent at training the eye to understand things as they truly look (rather than the shorthand symbols we are accustomed to), but would agree that one will find their ability to draw from imagination extremely lacking if studies from reference are the only exercise used. An understanding of construction in 3D space is fundamental to the creative aspect of drawing.
There are also numerous examples of companies blatantly and knowingly ignoring the rules or lobbying to have them bent to their wants. Or both.
It is indeed fascinating how many of the comments here run to extrinsic rewards -- and makes me want to immediately ask the follow-up for so many of the posters here: why are you an engineer? Maybe another way at getting at the same question: if you could be on any engineering team at anytime in history, what do you pick and why?

I can tell you from a year of observing Oxide: team members inspire one another. Someone sees someone else demo'ing something exciting, and they are inspired to themselves drive to an exciting demo -- not to compete with them, but out of their own sense of teamwork and mission. And to the degree that we're seeking extrinsic rewards beyond satisfied customers, frankly nothing feels better than to hear a colleague say: "Wow, that's really neat!"
Take a look at the site this blog is posted on ;)
No that's not the case. The scenario I described actually happens, and is not naked shorting. That's how GME got >100% short interest.

Thank you for the thoughtful replies.
Very cool, I've been following React-NodeGUI for about a year now and I love Svelte.

I especially love the idea of Svelte (compiling to imperative JavaScript code), but since it's technically a "superset" of JavaScript, IDE support has been an issue for me. Also I've cut my teeth trying to find a solid UI component library. These two things have restricted my use of the framework to smaller projects.

Anyone have any suggestions?
CFTC is a federal agency, they regulate commodity derivatives, not commodities, a New York court doesn't evolve the case law for a federal agency. And none of this has anything to do with "crypto being recognized as a particular asset class". Nobody is arguing about the CFTC saying crypto is a commodity, the CFTC has limited powers in what they can do with something being a commodity because they regulate commodity derivatives.

here is something that shows the current state of the CFTC's authority being unresolved by federal courts, specifically regarding spot commodities

I think you're right. I've seen Fata Morgana and it looks nothing like this. With atmospheric ducting you get (even more) surreal images, with all kinds of distortion and mirroring. If you've ever driven through salt flats and seen floating, horizontally symmetric mountains, you'll know what I mean. Look more closely at these pictures and you'll see that the fog and the true horizon are indeed visible.

It was WC1 and I disassembled the code and added in a time-dependent limiter in dosbox.

Presumably some humans are terrible at this and others are as good or better than the machine. Of course, even someone who was very good (say 80% accurate) would be wrong about 1 person in 5.

Being honest about this equips a person with a useful hunch capability that will provide a long-term edge (perhaps as a detective, or in sales, or any of many other contexts where people-reading can help); less honest practitioners might become con artists, or consultants/coaches whose methods are not reproducible or even formalized such as Dave Grossman: https://www.insider.com/bulletproof-dave-grossman-police-tra...
The problem here is that it is basically impossible for a modern game to achieve the magnitude of those old CRPGs if you just mean that in the sense of how big the universe is and how much story it contains, but with modern AAA standards. The man-hours required to create all that content would be ridiculous.

That being said, if you count the totality of the Mass Effect trilogy, including all its DLC, I think you do get the magnitude of one Star Control 2, and it's generally fantastic.
It's probably to be put against Electron HelloWorld resources usage. If this project manages to cut it in half then it's a good step. Maybe competition will cut it in half once more. Considering the amount of Electron based apps around it can save quite a few GB worldwide :)

As someone who has worked in SaaS pricing, definitely agree that you should add a nice pricing page. :)

Otherwise, there's a funny sort of irony in being a spend management tool for other SaaS products without clear pricing on your own.
Like a lot of things in life, it does serve a purpose, but only a social one (the social pressure of having a well manicured lawn), whether it's because of a HOA or a need to suck up to neighbors. Which makes it even more obnoxious than serving no purpose at all to me! Just another chore.
No, it's actually detrimental to learn by "seeing" because it sticks with you forever and hard to break the habit.

There are similar things in learning instruments. Bad habits stick.
Well the fact is that different hardware rounds it differently, so its the world we live in. My guess is that actually implementing something in hardware " to infinite precision and with unbounded range" might not be realistic.

There are a lot of great resources mentioned here so I won’t repeat them.

Isn't Facebook legally obligated by GDPR (for example) to delete a user's data on request? Noncompliance is risky; it only takes one disgruntled employee to cause you a lot of pain.
the HTML5 JS APIs provide most desktop functionality you could want to access from the browser - does that cover what you mean? Reading location, video & audio, interacting with local files, that sort of thing.
So "dark pattern" is a dark pattern?
I agree its a challenge many laws don't meet, and perhaps I wasn't clear, so lets take another chance to clarify. Lets take your example. Muggings have a clear victim. A mugger clearly used violence or threat of violence to forcibly remove someone else's property against their will. Now, if the Law said only its only illegal to mug citizens (tourists, illegal aliens, etc), then clearly the law is picking winners and losers here. If the law says its illegal to mug anyone, but reports of muggings to tourists went categorically uninvestigated, then the government is choosing winners and losers, not via legislation, but by implementation, which is also wrong. In this case, the fix isn't the mugging law, but the implementation.

I'm a baseball fan. Everyone knows that everyone cheats in the game of baseball. Whether its hiding small things like pine tar, or like the Astros using electronic devices relaying signals. When there's marginal enforcement, and marginal discipline, then its not really a law, and its only used against the current regime's enemies so to speak. So, why keep it as a law? Further, if we make all electronic communication devices legal, then pitchers and catchers can have an ear piece, and this concept of signs and sign stealing is moot.

The same applies to all governance. If you can't apply the same laws uniformly, then they become the tool of the state to suppress its enemies, i.e. choosing winners and losers.

It's just like the startup mantra: 'failing forward'. \s
I think people are already making those real world decisions, with or without being able to automate the process. The real implication here is that political ideology owes more to raw emotional biases than it does to analysis and introspection. It echoes a person's general attitude toward life in the absence of specifics. I would say this is not a revolutionary observation, but it's a confirmation through experimental means.
