The US may be one of the places which make it uniquely easy and attractive. There are ways to make decent money without maintaining a career if you're not afraid of hard work (fishing boats in Alaska etc.) and also there are places which are dirt cheap with good climate, so that you can live in a shack and not freeze in winter or spend a fortune on cooking. If I were to try to do it in Poland, I see at least a couple obstacles:

- the country is relatively densely populated. It's not easy to get a dirt-cheap place where you can settle (legally). Also, the construction code is strict so it's very hard to go low budget by doing unconventional things (like living in a yurt etc.)

- the winters make a lot of those unconventional solutions less applicable anyway - you need a decent heat source and a house that has some level of insulation

- Manual labor doesn't pay too well and you work with alcoholics and people with terrible personalities. Although arguably, after joining the EU, you can go for temp jobs in EU countries and make money that will last you for months of frugal living in a Polish village

- the people in the countryside are often backwards, alcoholics and have a mentality of a serf (Poland had serfdom until mid XIX-century, and also the Communism treated people like serfs, so a lot of people exhibit traits of learned helplessness, have no initiative and expect to be taken care of by some institution - when it doesn't happen, they just get bitter and complain, but are unable to take any initiative). They're the opposite of the rugged, self-reliant American farmers, and would unfortunately make for a poor company or even neighbors - e.g. expect them to steal stuff from you.
Add `export PYTHONBREAKPOINT=ipdb.set_trace` to your .bashrc and "breakpoint()" will invoke ipdb by default.
If I'm not mistaken, the studies indicated that in-person schooling could be done relatively safely with proper precautions, but in the US, most schools didn't/don't have the means to implement many of the precautions outlined. It's not really as simple as arguing that in-person schooling is safe, but democrat-controlled areas are closing down the schools anyway.

I'm also not sure what outcomes you're talking about with/without mask mandates. There are a lot of studies that show the effectiveness of mask mandates in slowing the spread of the disease. Do you have a study that shows outcomes are roughly similar in terms of spread and mortality between places with and without mandates? So far, I've only been able to find commentary that distorts the findings of the studies they purport to be citing.
Depends, only when accepting to be paid exactly the same way.

What I don't agree is the expectation to be paid, while refusing to pay other developers for their work.

Even the gratis stuff I use, back in the early FOSS days I bought CDs and magazines that distributed the software, the few times I went to FOSDEM the full volunteer package, nowadays books written by community members and occasional donations on stuff I use regularly.

So it is just not empty words about what is right.

They were scrapped. SN12 had significant work on it before it was scrapped, but SN13 and SN14 only had a few pieces made before it was scrapped.
He gain wealth by having wealth. The opposite is true too... you lose wealth by not having wealth.
Pretty sure China isn't just worrying manufacturers in Taiwan but other parts of the region. Hong Kong is getting worse by the day with China basically replacing any idea of a democratic government there.

India is making strides but has internal issues and both China and Pakistan as border issues. South Korea has been under threat from the North for far too long.

It just makes financial sense to spread out to more stable regions of the world and to take the money offered when it shows up.

I figure we are still a decade or two out before Africa comes online and South and Central America will need to calm down to get good investment to spread about.

I am surprised Canada is not trying to get more of the action.
Totally wrong. The current Mac Pro was announced at WWDC two years ago. Lots of other stuff was announced in 2017. The last Mac Pro was announced at WWDC in 2013.
This is funny, yet ridiculous :-))

Their brand is so tainted in the US that they're renaming it.

I like the idea of in-person events, but I was never able to get a pass and so missed out on all of the actual value outside of the short windows I was able to borrow someone else's. The online-only format has been a significant improvement for me as a result as some of that valuable side-chatter has moved to places I'm not excluded from.

The two statements aren't incongruent. People who inherit money but spend it all because of bad habits don't accumulate wealth.
Well, Perl is still a solid and improved replacement for sed, awk, and shell. PSGI puts it about on par with other platforms for persistent web apps with Mojolicious, Catalyst, and Dancer all solid frameworks for that.

It's reasonably performant. It has true multithreading with no GIL and handles multi-process programming well too. For several years the regex engine has been iterative except for places like backtracking that pretty much need to still be recursive. It's among the fastest language systems that do reflection and offer true closures and lambdas. It used to be faster than a whole lot of other languages, but lots of other have made more progress on that front. Deprecating some features and being willing to break compatibility will allow more optimizations in the compiler and opcode interpreter.

It does portable deployments really well with perlbrew. Or if you want just an easily deployable app, there's Carton. Strawberry Perl works on Windows pretty identically to how perl works on Linux or BSD. Perl runs fine on Android, although it can be a little memory-heavy for constrained devices.

One of the killer features for me is CPAN and in particular metacpan, cpanm, and CPANTesters. Having the code, docs, star ratings, and a matric of which versions are passing all test on which platform all in one place with a good search engine in front of it is really handy. NPM came a lot later for example and still doesn't have things like version pinning and local re-vendoring worked out.

As for what's going to grab a lot of new developers or lead a lot of established developers away from their current preferred languages, I really don't know. If I was starting today and looking for one primary language that was fast to develop, reasonably fast in production, full-featured as a language, and had great library support I might go with Julia, OCaml, F#, Common Lisp, Ruby, JS/Node, Racket, or Scala Native. Maybe even Pike or Lua (Lua since its FFI is so strong any C library is basically also a Lua library).

I'm someone who's been using Perl as one of my primary languages since the 1990s. It's one of my top 4 or 5 languages, and for whole classes of problems it's what I reach for first - at least for prototyping something out. I really like Raku, which has great performance in spots but is still very slow in parts of the language. That language's killer app so far is parsers, by a long shot. Since I'm still using Perl for many things, a cleaner, faster, less crufty Perl would be a great thing. I also think since most of Perl's strengths are still fairly well known but some of the more arcane things like output formats, tied variables in the core, and the core object syntax being kind of raw and under-opinioned are considered too crufty to overlook that cleaning those up might be enough to grab the attention of people who might be on the fence.
Hmm did they release their April 1 joke too early by mistake?
That’s a simpler solution in the sense that there aren’t many steps to get there from existing tools, but the HTTP protocol is incredibly complicated compared to Gemini, and Markdown is complicated compared to Gemini’s rich text format too.
My main association with Getty is their 'copyfraud' practises where they claim public domain images (NASA, Library of Congress etc) as their own and sell licenses[0]. They're also well known for aggressive acquisitions[1]. Perhaps this a good time to create a mirror

No, it's a perfectly descriptive name that's appropriate to the context.

Oh man, 500px used to be amazing. The photos were just beautiful. As you say, it died at some point (the quality started declining and they pushed some user-hostile stuff) and I never went back.
The blog author inches toward an idea of alternative punishment for misdemeanors. What if you could trade a day or week in prison for lash of a cane, like in Singapore?
How about prison terms served 1 day a week?

It would save money, be less invasive, but less profitable for the incarceration industry.

Long-term weekday (workday) detention is a terrible punishment for anyone. It should only be used for prevention when needed to keep a violent menace away from victims.
As well as what others pointed out about these too being prototypes:

>Raptor engines are still expensive.

They stated a while ago the cost of a Raptor was already under $1 million and that they're aiming for <$250k each with 2.0. That'd mean those three cost, at most and prototype status aside, a few million. That's just really not expensive in rocketry, or big machine early development in general. Even ignoring all other investment they can get, they're probably making at least $10-20m+ net income per commercial launch of the F9 at this point. So every single launch could cover multiple Starship tests. It's really wild how frugal it is compared to what everyone has become used to in rocketry, and in turn the kinds of things they can try.

Edit: just for context at the polar opposite end of the scale, "NASA will pay $146 million for each SLS rocket engine" (they need four per launch, and they're all thrown away each time).

In the private sector case it might be some fellow citizens, though it need not be, but that’s qualitatively different from all your follow citizens democratically represented. All the theoretical arguments for unions are predicated on the relationship between labor and capital that doesn’t exist in the public sector.

The Retina MacBook and Mac Pro (trash can and new grater) were announced at WWDC within the last 10 years.
That's exceptionally untrue - though it can be true in context. In the city beside mine, renting a place downtown, and working in the grocery store it's very possible to save $500 per month. For reference, minimum wage is the equivalent of $1700 USD, and renting a one-bedroom, all in will cost roughly $454 USD. With cellphone (250GB of 5G speeds) costing the equivalent of $15 USD, and groceries and electricity costing another $350, there's still plenty of space. Investing that money in the S&P at its historical rate, for 45 years will yield $2.3 million (rounded down).

Now, quality of life would be rubbish. But it's technically possible.

I enjoyed that part the year I got to go to WWDC, but the reality of the event is that's the most exclusive part given how few people are able to attend, and I'd gladly trade that for the ability to go without fear of the ticket lottery, and saving the money on travel, lodging and food isn't bad either. For local meetups, I definitely want to get back to in-person, but equally welcome an online WWDC for the foreseeable future.

I love them but let me be honest, West coast US events don't work for me or many others and focusing on an online event opens it up to far more people.

However I see the benefit for having a local audience for those who can make it there but we are still a year off before travel resumes to normal levels if not 2023. However being such world wide company perhaps they will in the future have similar events or simultaneous events across the world.
He's saying if you wiped out human civilization it would take O(10k) years to rebuild, because knowledge/culture isn't stored in the genes.

Transfers in and out would cause huge source-of-funds type compliance issues and fraud problems, as well as support tickets from users setting the wrong fees and getting scammed. They would've bought something like Bitpay long ago if people cared to transact in crypto. The reality is 99% are happy just to store it on paypal,coinbase, etc and be charged exorbitant fees and hope the price goes up.

> It's a lot easier to get a hundred million dollars when you start out with 1 million to put in the stock market.

This statement could only ever be uttered by someone that has not tried to do this.

100x increase in any endeavor is extremely exceptional. It's as hard to do as turning $10,000 into $1,000,000.

The only thing having a larger starting amount helps with is that it opens up types of opportunities you did not have before that require greater starting capital and are outside the stock market. Those additional opportunities are as hard to capitalize on as the smaller opportunities that only require $10,000, especially since you need not only money but a lot of people with expertise that you can trust.

But within the stock market, a 100x return is something very few people in the market ever achieve.

The only place where having money clears some significant initial hurdles is probably getting to the first $10,000, maybe the first $100,000. This is a hurdle many have cleared in their lifetime and they still haven't succeeded in turning it into $1 million to $10 million, respectively.

It's also survivor bias— having a million bucks gives you the cushion to take those riskier bets, and the people for whom that works out are the ones we read about. There are certainly others who gambled away mom and dad's money into nothing.
> The reason for that is because both Taiwan and China insist that you either recognize Taiwan xor you recognize China, but you cannot recognize both.

The only reason Taiwan "insists" on that is because of the threat of invasion if they declare independence. Just because a bully tells you to stop hitting yourself while they smack your hand into your face does not mean the bully is not doing the hitting.
Compounding is also a huge factor in cases like this. If you make (or inherit) money early in life, even if you don’t add much principal, 70 years of compounding does wonders for wealth creation.
There are many ways to go about this. Using the one that causes monetary harm and disincentives everyone to even consider hosting a site is not the ethical option to pick, but it's the one that is profitable in the short term. It's not like they couldn't just ask first to respect the license, but this isn't about respecting the license, it's about generating an income.

Luck is very subjective.

Having opportunities around is lucky, but most people aren't interested in taking the risks or making sacrifices necessary to seize those opportunities.

And often times the ones willing to do this are then later called lucky.

Falcon 9 is doing great, but Starlink appears to be eating through all their earnings and well into their cash reserves.

Elon Musk has said "SpaceX needs to pass through a deep chasm of negative cash flow over the next year or so to make Starlink financially viable. Every new satellite constellation in history has gone bankrupt. We hope to be the first that does not." (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1359024384200101888?)lan...

At this point their R&D spending on Starship and Starlink means they're running off constantly raising capital from investors (same as many other startups). When Starlink is generating decent income they're going to be an extremely profitable company, but they're not there yet.

I'm sure this 'COULD' be a reality. Will it though?

Which is helpful if they want to and are able to move to an area with lower real estate prices. Otherwise that 'wealth' is tied up in a good they are unable to sell (without incurring an implicit debt of either needing to find another house in the same high price area, or having to pay for rent in the same high price area).

A house may be a reasonable investment vehicle; it can also be an extremely illiquid one.
