Electronics is one of the things I miss most about living there. The air pollution was terrible though. New Zealand has great air, a good second-hand market (2014 Retina MacBook Pro for 300 USD), but 1-2 months shipping does slow down my hobby electronics. Jaycar, PBTech, JB HiFi have a few common items, but nothing like I could get in China, Japan, or Taiwan. It makes me think twice before buying gadgets though, which might be a good thing!
Hey Phil!

I'd be interested to know if Hackaday has any plans for branded events when deemed safe? With Hackaday.io it also seems like the potential is there to help organize community events or maker-faires on a larger scale as we reenter a post-pandemic world — a gap not really filled since the fall of Make.

(A "Hackaweek" hackercamp sounds like it would be a blast)

How are huge amount of people losing out if someone passes money to their children, exactly? Was the money supposed to be given to the government and redistributed?

And as for the lottery, the reason that states/countries have lotteries is because they make buckets of money off of them. Is the state at fault, then? While I personally think it's a waste of money to participate, people choose to give money to the lottery, and are told up front what the odds are of winning, which are very bad.
I suspect "spam filter heuristics" also contribute to close mindedness. If something is repeated ad nauseam and the observer finds it false every time then they mentally downgrade the reliability to "known bullshit, not worth listening to". The process is agnostic to any objective truth and could apply to stubborn flat-earthers taking "against intuition and the ability to easily comprehend like a flat map" as false.
To be achievable, utopia should be an attitude, not a place. The best attitude I ever came across is "Everything in moderation, including moderation itself."

You leave your knives outside?
History has shown that it isn’t, though. ISIS rising up and capturing actual land area and oil infrastructure was a direct result of the US ousting Saddam Hussein. There’s a whole lot more examples of this in history.

Here’s an example from the end of Habsburg Spain: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Spanish_Successio...

This guy rose to power after Tsar Nicolas II and his family were machine-gunned: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin Then, Stalin rose to power from the chaos after Lenin’s death, and then when Stalin died, Malankov was ‘in charge’ until Khrushchev took power from him, and so on.

There are counter examples of course, Nicolae Ceausescu being executed in Romania, for instance.
> Isn't "generating binaries" just as bad for other interpreted (interpeted-ish) languages?

I might have a counter example: Common Lisp (a compiled language) can be run from sources as a script (like interpreted-ish languages) and we can build self-contained binaries. With SBCL they weight ±20MB minimum (proprietary implementations do tree shaking) and they start instantly.
If he were let go on first day of new job, would he be happy? It is an at will employment, got to just accept it and move on.

Tesla doesn't care why you took up the job. May be you wanted to follow your passion or may be you wanted to feed your family. Musk doesn't care. That is the beauty of capitalism. Without everybody else worrying about why you took up a job, we have built an economic system that doesn't let anyone starve but infact has higher standard of living than non capitalist companies.
Personally I think whataboutism to excuse bad behavior is awful, but using it to criticize an accuser's hypocrisy or double-standard is fair and legitimate.

For instance, the event with Evo Morales' plane being forced down in Switzerland, while not exactly the same, clearly set a bad precedent and we're paying the price now. I don't have any problem with saying that what Belarus just did and what happened then with Evo Morales' plane were both wrong. (At the same time I support European countries sanctioning Belarus even if they were the same countries that just a few years ago denied their airspace to Morale's plane for political reasons.)

Your comment gives me emotional flashbacks. Years ago I took Java off my resume, because I don’t want to ever interact with this sort of thing again. (I’m sure it exists in other languages, but I’ve never seen it quite as bad as in Java.)

I think the best “clean code” programming advice is the advice writers have been saying for centuries. Find your voice. Be direct and be brief. But not too brief. Programming is a form of expression. Step 1 is to figure out what you’re trying to say (eg the business logic). Then say it in its most natural form (switch statements? If-else chain? Whatever). Then write the simplest scaffold around it you can so it gets called with the data it needs.

The 0th step is stepping away from your computer and naming what you want your program to express in the first place. I like to go for walks. Clear code is an expression of clear thoughts. You’ll usually know when you’ve found it because it will seem obvious. “Oh yeah, this code is just X. Now I just have to type it up.”

It's fairly anodyne to describe GPL3 and friends as "viral" licenses, is it not?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_license

Stallman doesn't like it, but RMS is renowned for the scope and breadth of things he doesn't like.

To say that something "viral" can "infect" something else is the natural extension of the metaphor. I can see not liking it, but it doesn't scan to me as unserious or in bad faith to say this.

Edit: this kind of language goes both ways between copyleft and permissive camps in FOSS circles. I see objections to permissive licenses phrased in terms such as "improvements to MIT code can become locked away inside proprietary software", which only works if you consider proprietary software to be a prison, when this is in fact an intended outcome of permissive licensing.
I think numbers are wonderful and cool abstract thingies. We grow up being taught them (in my case Arabic numerals in base 10) and they become such part of our being that we start to think that we know what “5” is. Then I was introduced to Roman Numerals. Didn’t like those much. That one taught me that 4 is more related to 5 than it is 3. Then some of us learn a base 2 number system or base 16 number system and for a brief moment we question whether we actually knew what “5” was. And then we may learn about Peano and the successor(s…) of zero. Did we really know what “5” was then? What is five-ness really? Perhaps fiveness is a set within a set within a set…

Every interaction our human minds have with fiveness is with a representation or encoding of 5. With each new representation, I’ve experienced fiveness slightly differently.

But I like computers and math. For me, the best to experience oneness with the fiveness is through computation with Lambda Calculus and Church Numerals. Very fond of that encoding.
Ugh that's embarrassing. It seems like it works for most words, but has a few obnoxious outliers like "male" that I can't figure out why they score as female. It might just be a quirk of the dataset or something :/
If he wanted to, he could probably sue Tesla for tortious interference of his previous job, since he gave notice at the previous job because of them.

Also, it really sucks that Tesla didn't offer him severance given that he was effectively laid off. Hopefully he can at least get unemployment.
Also, emoployees can leave company any time. And they leave companies on short notices! Cuts both ways!
I don't get how you can even brag about it. You can't say "I own this piece of art", you have to say "I own a pointer to this piece of art". And even that could end up a null pointer on somebody else's whim.

Very cool! I've been thinking a lot about how to do this in a good cross platform way for tab history on a browser I've been building (https://synth.app).

I think a major issue is that pinching is very necessary to change the time scale if the horizontal axis is long enough (and it will be for browsing history), but pinch support outside the MacOS/iOS is sketchy at best. I haven't yet discovered the useful UX here. This was inspired by https://refresh.study (see: Browsing History section) which has a good mock of what it can look like.

If anyone has any other examples, I'd love to see it.

> Does anyone know? Is anyone testing?

In first-world countries/states with earthquakes, the answer to this is often yes and yes.

A good article from 2000 in Christchurch discusses the issues: https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/media/documents/event/Hopkins-L...

The article is relevant because Christchurch had a major earthquake in 2011. I know of quite a few older buildings that were retrofitted that did not even need to be demolished (most buildings are designed to just survive a major earthquake, but often they need to be demolished due to damage, similar to writing off cars after accidents).

Christchurch did have regulatory failures because many older buildings were known to be unsafe (e.g. only meeting 10% of current code/regulations), but owners could defer fixing them up to code almost indefinitely. But that regulatory failure is being addressed in other parts of the country e.g. Wellington.

The South Island of New Zealand is overdue for a magnitude 8.2 Earthquake which will devastate many towns on the West Coast, and will affect the whole country indirectly. https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/90364889/magnitude82-...

You can sometimes see where concrete of a building has been tested for example a circular hole about 10cm across is left where a sample was taken.

If interested, next time you meet a civil engineer or someone working in the relevant department that deals with the building codes will often know relevant details about your location.
There are different grades of stainless steels. The common, "construction" grade stainless steels usually rust albeit very slowly. And while some of them are basically impervious to corrosion, they are usually way more expensive or have a lot less tensile strength. I don't know about knives specifically but it wouldn't surprise me if those more corrosion resistant grades are what's used to make them.
My understanding is that alkali-resistant glass is required, but the 18% ZrO2 used means that it isn't much cheaper than using carbon fiber, which seems to have slowly taken over. But GFRC is bright white, while carbon fiber makes a greyish product, so the former is preferred for decoration.
It depends. Say in the case where you quit your current job, or move, or anything where you've spent or lost money based on a promise of a job, then you might be able to recover money on the basis on Promissory estoppel: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/promissory_estoppel

I often hear that people should read Clean Code and that it is necessary in large projects. I would say that there is no direct correlation between how large and complex the business logic is and the difficulty of understanding and maintaining the code. I have seen small simple applications that are not maintainable because people have followed SOLID to the extreme.

Streaming JSON parsers do exist, but they’re rather specialized and harder to use than JSON.parse(). The advantage of ND-JSON is that you can get the same effect in a much simpler way.
But you may not get good refs (necessary for future employment) if you try to play by the same rules as the employer and give no notice.

The two times I started a new job it seems the position I was interviewed for, and the team I ended up joining was somewhat different... Because of shifting priorities, etc. such is life in a living organization.

But neither employer rescinded their offer. Retracting a job offer is not normal.

Stories like this will discourage people from joining Tesla. And in reality Tesla could easily find a position for an extra engineer.

The question seems to be subject to a lot of confusion. A lot of other people in this thread seem to believe differently.

The article in the OP also seems to believe differently, which is what made me ask the question.

> But now the much-loved clip of baby Charlie gnawing on his brother Harry's finger will be taken off YouTube after it was sold for $760,999 (£538,000).

> The Davies-Carr family auctioned the clip as an NFT, a non-fungible token.

The quote says the video was sold, and that this will naturally result in it being removed from you tube, and then explains it was sold "as an NFT" which is "like a certificate to say that you own something digital".

I think you may be right, but the majority of people talking about NFT's don't seem to realize it. Including a bunch of people in this thread.
Wrong person to ask, they should be grilling Shi Zhengli.

You want a flimsy shell and to externalise the environmental impact? Sure thing, whatever the market will bear and is legal.

I think it is fair enough for people to put pressure on current practices. Zara and H&M will persist, but their customers should be and, thanks to outside voices, are now aware that social and environmental factors are involved in fast fashion.

Sure, it's arbitrary. But we still have alternatives. All else being equal, less entropy is better than more.
I'm on the same boat, although I have an additional requirement that disqualifies Sublime Text: I want the software to be source-available. Not necessarily FLOSS, but I want to know that if push comes to shove I can hack the code and recompile the software.

I don't want to have to rely on the devs if I want to tweak something that's not meant to be configurable, or if I need to run the software on some unsupported configuration and it breaks.

Haha that's awesome. I spent so many hours researching stuff to invest in so I could make a good decision or at least an educated one. Company stock, cryptocurrency projects, whitepapers... And then I watched people making ridiculous amounts of money off of DOGE of all things just because a billionaire tweeted funny dogecoin memes. Then people pumped the huge wave of animal shitcoin scams that came after to ridiculous prices as well. Now I'm watching people spend millions on non-fungible tokens that do nothing.

> I don't feel this way about inherited wealth, or people who got money through the lottery, or for being famous reality show people, but something about NFTs really rubs me the wrong way.

This paragraph interests me deeply. It is clearly a personal feeling and one that I have empathy for. However, a few things came to my mind when I read it.

1) You and I were born into a world where inheritance, lotteries, and celebrities existed, but NFTs were invented in our lifetime. Is it the newness/novelty of NFTs at issue?

2) Suppose the answer to 1) is no i.e. I am not troubled by the newness of NFTs. Alright, instead let’s imagine the first incidence of inheritance, or lotteries, or celebrity status that yielded material/monetary reward. Did people feel similarly about these ways of acquiring money back when these ways were novel?

3) What about applying the general idea of finding/inventing/innovating to create new industries e.g. advertising technology? Some people have similar feelings about the nominal value being created versus the perceived value of a whole host of activities: venture capital, e-sports, advertising, sex work, content creation, financial services/instruments, the creative arts and their subfields, etc. You can search for posts and comments on this forum expressing exactly that on each of the examples I listed.

4) What do we call it? I would say the word jealousy captures one side of the dimension where perceived value doesn’t match up with actual value that was exchanged (perceived value is less than the value exchanged).

5) Why do we do it? Why do we judge the perceived fairness of transactions that we are not party to?

6) Now, back to the initial question: what makes some forms of wealth transfer fair and others not?
>You can trade the NFT around but the current owner can redeem it and take delivery of the physical item.

What happens if someone buys my NFT but I refuse to deliver the physical item? It seems we need to pull in the legacy legal system to enforce the transfer, at which point I wonder what value the blockchain added in the first place.
