> You're talking about whether the most visible champion of Dogecoin, whose formal title at his company is Techking, and who added a fart-on-demand feature to his products, and saying that one of his tweets regarding a currently non-existent party, a Tesla union organization, is unprofessional.

You bring up a good point here and I think it applies to all of his ventures: Why trust anything the guy does?

However, when it comes to safety, the public must have trust. Very solid trust. Because 2+ tons of car at 70mph that claims to steer itself cannot be untrusted.
So, assume that you need byte-for-byte identical upstream dependencies, and also assume you want to run in a modern CI environment. In make, you build a docker with a line like:

RUN tar -C opt xvf /…/foo-1.2.3.tgz
RUN <build the thing if needed>

And a few lines like this in make:

INC += $(wildcard /opt/foo-*)/include
LIBS += -L…

This generalizes elegantly to subdirectories. (See “Recursive Make Considered Harmful” for the right way to do it), and (crucially!) it won’t build if you don’t have the build environment set up correctly.

It also lets you prevent the CI build container from talking to the internet, so outages of upstream server infrastructure, or package-manager-du-jour serving bitcoin miners can’t directly break production binaries.

It also generalizes to building in other people’s operating systems, etc.

With cmake, you need to read the documentation for find_foo, which invariably has a different calling convention than find_bar (if it exists at all), and it will try to look places it should not for the library. Adding a library this way takes hours.

Also, the docker + make approach works well with languages other than c/c++; cmake does not, unless cmake happens to include built-in support for the language in question.
I have a de-googled old e-os phone as my daily driver. Very nice choice. My hope is that my next one will be a full linux phone like librem 5 ir pinephone. I'm just waiting for it to get more mature. If I had a bit more money, I'd buy one now just to support the cause.

> electrical engineers have schematics, SPICE netlists; and so on.

How much "and so on", though? Schematics. SPICE. VHDL. Verilog. That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm not an electrical engineer. There might be a few more - especially for subspecialties like, say, power engineers.

How many languages do software engineers commonly use? Maybe ten. (I will admit that the word "commonly" is doing a lot of work for me...)

And you could look at something like TypeScript as being a new API on JavaScript.

So I'm not sure that we're that far out of line with something like electrical engineering. We just have a really long tail of languages that relatively few people use. To me, it feels like those "don't count" in a way, but you could regard it as cheating to ignore them.

Note well: I am not at all saying that the languages we have are optimal for programming. I'm just saying that as a discipline, we mostly use a very few languages.

It seems it compiles down to golang usually? As in the read me they run

It's more like typescript for javascript than a completely separate language.

Ya so I've been anti-Mac for a while but had to use it for work but now I have really developed a hatred of Mac. I had to do the Big Sir 11.2.3 upgrade and it took 4 flipping hours, which okay fine whatever that happens. The issue however is that it was stuck on 15 minutes for 3 hours. I only was patient because a coworker said that he heard the update took 4 hours.

I was always told that Mac "just works" but at least with Linux I can see what the heck is going on and what needs to happen to fix it, here I am just at the whims of whatever Apple pushes out.

Additionally my internet now randomly breaks on the Mac and requires a restart and I've been noticing significant slow downs. At the point the only reason I can imagine people would defend Macs is Stockholm Syndrome.

> “You make the tax laws @SenWarren; we just follow them. If you don’t like the laws you’ve created, by all means, change them. Here are the facts: Amazon has paid billions of dollars in corporate taxes over the past few years alone,” the account tweeted Thursday in response to a critique from Warren that Amazon exploits “loopholes and tax havens to pay close to nothing in taxes.” There’s a growing mountain of evidence pointing out how Amazon pays very little in taxes compared to its annual sales and profits.

I'll have to agree with Amazon on this one.

Legislators whine about corporations not paying taxes while making it legal for them to do so... Why not simply write laws that forces them to pay? It's not like it's their job to write the laws...

Yes, we agree that Trump's action were deplorable, borderline treasonous/seditious.

But why are so many unwilling to admit/conceded/realize that the US Capitol was very clearly warned of impending problems, and refused help in a very public way.

If this were any different, 'normal' president that had a rally that got out of hand, we would be blaming the officials who were straight up told of problems in preparation.

Also, very unfortunately, this situation very well shows us how 'freedom of expression' has a dark side as well, in that it allows people to orchestrate violence. It's rare, but it it will happen. So we have to 'find a way' to not have the VP almost assassinated while not becoming China. It's a problem.
> What do carrots have to do with potatoes?

Nothing more than that carrots and taters are staple foods where I come from. It comes with nearly all dinner recipes here in Scandinavia, so it's very common to buy them together.

> I read that refrigerating potatoes isn't recommended because some starch converts to sugar

It's only a problem if the potatoe freezes or is subjected to frost damage. Then the potato will go mushy and bad. If it's then subjected even to lukewarm temperatures, it may start to ferment or become infected with fungi. And for that reason it's very popular with moonshiners. ;)
For a tool that manipulates my data, especially data that is important for me and my company, I really want a self-hostable version that I can deploy wherever I want.

Baked macaroni and cheese is sacrilegious, in my opinion - it's in it's most perfect form already, baking only makes it worse. People tell me that baked macaroni and cheese done right isn't bland and dry, but ever one I've ever eaten has been - even from people who think they make "the best macaroni and cheese"

I guess people have different tastes.

That being said, a lot of restaurants will cover the macaroni and cheese in breadcrumbs and place it under the broiler for couple minutes, that is great and nothing at all like baked macaroni and cheese, it creates a nice crust and still preserves the creamy, tasty qualities of the product.

I'm considering switching from Android to iOS because I don't want to throw away my phone once my 2-4 years of security updates are over.

How do firmware updates factor into your thinking around Android and security? Is there a way off of the "buy a new phone if you want firmware updates" treadmill?

(I don't expect you to have a solution, but I'm curious to hear how you're thinking about this problem.)

In order to produce CO2, the cement has to contain carbon. Where does that carbon come from? Potentially, we could use plants to capture carbon, and put plant matter in the cement. We could also use chemistry and catalysts to skip the plants. It might not be energy efficient, but maybe that doesn't matter. You can use solar panels and run your cement-generation-reactor only during the daytime, as well as put measures in place to cut back on cement usage. This problem is solvable, it just needs creative thinking and an active decision that we are going to solve it.

The Python manual.

There are two kinds of programming languages: (i) where the official manual is clear and complete, and (ii) ones where it is not.

In a type (i) language you should read the manual while spinning at the gym and train yourself to be very fast to look up answers to questions like "how do I generate a random integer in the (3,7) range" in the official manual.

Books, blog posts, etc. tend to inject errors and also become stale over time. For instance there is a lot about Python 3.5 and 3.6.1 that you don't want to know. A Pythoner in 2021 could be working with anything from Py 3.9 to 3.7 or late 3.6.9. A book written to Python 3.7 is going to be a basically good foundation to work on, but I know Py 3.8 and 3.9 feature use is common in the wild and 3.10 is not far away.

If you learn the manual like the back of your hand, you can look up whatever version you need, what the changes are, etc.
Quite agreed.

>>>> The number of people over 60 who didn't understand the difference between a text message and an email was around 30% (out of a sample size of 600 during my shift).

What is the difference, in plain terms?

It's easy to understand the technical difference if you remember that it's based on a historical quirk of cell phone technology and economics from 20+ years ago, that is probably not fundamental or useful today.

But try explaining it to a non techie: It's a different app, and happens to be more or less responsive depending on where you are located relative to the antenna towers, so the best explanation is just that you have to check for messages in two different ways on your phone, and not trust to receive a message immediately after it was sent.

Actually understanding the difference is as important as knowing why dialing a phone is called "dialing." For the rest of us, just make it work already.

Whats utterly disingenuous is if Safari was a third party app it would have to be blocked for the same reasoning they are using here for the OPs app.

I used to be doggedly pro-app store only with Apple as the gatekeeper (Google too for their ecosystem). But as more and more stories like this continue to appear, it's beyond obvious to me there needs to be a choice for alternatives to the app store to getting apps and if people want to "risk" getting content from other providers there should be a path to do so.

Parlor is another recent one that no matter your opinion of them, booting an app solely for political content is beyond dangerous. If you think Parlor got booted for inciting violence, far worse was going on in Facebook and Twitter yet only Parlor got booted - it was purely political.

Another option legally would be to disincentive the purchase of materials manufactured in those overseas areas to which you refer, or tax the bejesus out of companies using them as labor sources. I think there’s room for talk of tariffs and tax penalties for offshoring labor/manufacturing, and I’m not really familiar with other levers to turn that would fix this. Efforts to enforce better working conditions in other countries come and go, are easy to game and are quickly forgotten.

The parts of our society that profit off cheap offshore labor are quick to spin stories accusing people of being nationalist/protectionist/racist, but their profit margin is being defended in the process and the issues distracted from.

At the same time, if I lived in a largely agrarian society and factory work offered me the choice to get out of poor farm labor work, I’d jump at it the same way my ancestors did. I feel most of us can appreciate the value and prosperity that the global supply chain has brought, while simultaneously lamenting the destruction of domestic industry and the exploitation that has accompanied it.

We don’t have to be all-for or all-against, though I think when “free trade” agreements come up, they should be regarded very suspiciously, and when accusations fly about nationalism and protectionism, those should be seen as the cheap and distracting rhetorical devices they are.
Looks nice, but I can't imagine having the time to document all layers like that or the entire sequence flow in an animated way.

Heartrate has been found to play a big part.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9316546/

Animals with slower heart rates tend to be longer lived. An interesting sidenote are bats, which have heart rates about the same as similarly sized small mammals like mice, but due to their nightly torpor state where their heart rate is significantly lowered, they tend to live 20-25 years opposed to the 3-4 mice usually live.
Wow, good luck. Seems like the same reasoning could be used to block apps like Chrome, Dropbox, or Facebook.
> But why are so many unwilling to admit/conceded/realize that the US Capitol was very clearly warned of impending problems, and refused help in a very public way.

Because on January 5th, the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys weren't considered a threat. That changed on January 6th.

I still remember the debates when Biden pointed out that the Proud Boys could be a threat on national TV. Within my circle of friends, that caused some debate. I've had only minor experiences with the Proud Boys: but I generally remember them as those dumbasses with guns at protests (and I didn't really think of them as a threat, especially in a town like DC where marching with guns is illegal).

True story: the general feeling in my circle of friends was that Biden was exaggerating the threat. None of us were proud of Trump's answer either, but for Biden to call them out explicitly still seemed unusual.

Of course, that changed on January 6th when Proud Boys / Oath Keepers invaded the capitol and demonstrated themselves to be a threat.

---------------

In hindsight: we all had a blind spot for the damage right-wing protesters could cause. They've been marching for years with guns and getting rowdier and rowdier. But I think we generally still trusted them to "do the right thing".

Generally speaking, we do want to support the police. And seeing people march with pro-police signs is usually a decent thing (racism of Blue Lives Matter vs Black Lives Matter aside, I don't think anyone disagrees with the core message of "Police matter" and "African Americans matter").

It isn't until one of those groups starts beating literal Police officers with their Blue-lives matter flags before we realize that they too were just in the political game, playing us all along.
