Apart from Linux’ hardware support, is there any other major motivation behind this? Otherwise if you want a stable base and sane config, why not just install FreeBSD? :) I like the name Chimera btw. Underscores the hybrid nature of the project well.
I'm working on Nuftu, a platform that let's anyone become a Cryptoartist without delving into the complexities of the Ethereum blockchain.

Nuftu takes care of everything in order to mint an ERC721 compliant NFT that is compatible with all major NFT marketplaces (e.g. Opensea, Rarible).

The steps are as follows:

* You upload your artwork (picture, drawing, video or audio), add a title and description

* You pay the required Ethereum fees in USD using a credit card

* Nuftu takes care of minting and creates an Ethereum account (incl. private key) or uses an already existing acount if you have one already.

The process takes less than two minutes and greatly speed up and simplifies NFT minting.

Let me know what you think.
I don’t think the “land/development prices are too high to build a lot” from the developers will hold if 4plex zoning goes through. Land prices for this are high because there are extremely few opportunities to do this right now under existing zoning, under the new regime there are many more opportunities so the market tilts a bit from seller power to buyer power. As for construction costs, they suck to build because no one builds these right now so each one is basically bespoke, but if they suddenly become legal you’re going to see a cohort of developer specializing in these, learning how to do them well, and cashing in big time. You see this in other market (Portland) who have made the change already. It seems to be the SF developers are just too brain poisoned from the past entirety of their careers to see that a better world is actually possible.
Have you read Stallman’s essays on the topic? If you’re interested in this stuff, he goes very in depth on the goals of the free software movement: https://www.gnu.org/doc/fsfs3-hardcover.pdf The GPL was created explicitly to advance those goals.

From Wikipedia’s summary of the essays:

The author proposes Free software licenses (mostly GPL) as a solution to social issues created by proprietary software and described in essays.

Create internal blogs and videos. Keep them for internal use. Upload content on Youtube but keep it private or on your own server. This way you will have both depth and breath of your teams knowledge put in one place. Google does this.
Yes, it's a tough nut to crack because so many of the people in power now are incompetent frauds. They're not stupid, though, which makes it harder...

Change is happening, but slowly. I think what's going on is you can get social points by condescending to peers who don't do the causal inference well. I mean...you can be demonstrably right. The proportion of people who can see what you mean and then correctly attribute the points to you is growing.
The tension I've seen at most places where this goes off the rails is due to mis-assigning responsibility.

PMs are responsible for keeping projects on schedule. Engineers are responsible for completing work.

Consequently, PMs are incentivized to compresses schedules, and engineers are pressured to do the same.

The end result is that "the people who do the work plan the work" goes out the window, because risks aren't fundamentally understood (on a technical nuance level) by PMs, so naturally their desire for schedule wins out whenever there's a conflict.

(That said, I've worked at shops that hew closer to how it it should be, and it works great. Current job just happens to be a dumpster fire of bad Agile)
That's a great idea. I don't, but I will. Thanks.
There's a book called "how to decide" by Annie Duke that has some good advice on how to inspire this type of thinking.

For example, one of the ideas is the "doctor evil" or "imposter" game.

(1) Imagine a positive goal.

(2) Imagine that Dr. Evil has control of your brain, causing you to make decisions that will guarantee failure.

(3) Any given instance of that type of decision must have a good enough rationale that it won’t be noticed by you or others examining that decision.

(4) Write down those decisions.

Someone elses notes from this book: https://wisdomfromexperts.com/why-you-must-use-negative-thin...
There are limits to this. There's no amount of UX that will explain mathematical concepts as a side effect of being useful.

Sure, you can implement some UX to show the differences between different demosaicing methods and how good they are, but you're going to implement an interactive toy/tutorial (so another form of a manual), or you'll end up failing to explain the theory.

But neovim is only getting started. In a few years, the benefits of elisp over lua will probably be nil, and luajit is faster. I expect a lot of these points you make (which are valid) to become less and less relevant. First examples are already there : treesitter is as clean as can be, and telescope looks extremely nice. I'm waiting to see what people come up with for git, now that they don't have to learn vimscript or use slow python plugins.
A better question would be, especially for JavaScript; “what are the bad parts about JavaScript?”. A person with actual real life experience will at least be able to list a couple.
Even if you see it, the hardware could be lying to you! Unless the whole pipeline has support, you get subtly wrong results.

My Firefox on Android happily displays a difference, the webkit logo is very visible. And my AMOLED screen can actually go beyond DCI-P3.

But the phone is cheating. It's "enhancing" sRGB colors to wide gamut by cranking up the saturation accross the whole screen, and the settings are "sRGB" or "DCI-P3", but that doesn't turn off the post-processing filter it just adjusts the strength.

The P3 flowers on that test page in particular look completely wrong on my phone.
No. Being "declared dead" doesn't mean the state is required to pretend you're actually dead, rather it means you're "dead" as a legal entity as far as the bureaucracy is concerned - your assets will be distributed as necessary, you can't have a drivers' license, passport, can't vote, etc. If you commit a crime while declared dead, obviously you'll just be arrested and tried like anyone else.

I wouldn’t equate them either, but its a nice comparison. I like the idea that my cat is constantly in a flow except when hungry haha.

Flow state comes about when skill and challenge are maximized. There is an element of perception of both those axis which plays into it. Since we don’t know what the perceptions of non humans are its going to be hard to know if they experience any type of flow.

Meanwhile, zero innovation in Europe... No wonder considering that even in Germany (country with highest SW engineer salaries in Europe), an average developer will only make 2500 per month after tax... For that money, you will only be able to buy a bread and butter, nothing else.

You cannot stop oil production globally by shutting down local pipelines.

That is like burning down a CVS so that people will use less toilet paper.

If you want people to use less toilet paper, you need to alter demand - not production.

Oil production just moves to jurisdictions that don't mind the externalities. On the other hand, if you remove a consumer, then you've eliminated that oil consumption globally.

> Holy hell... no wonder they snuffed it out in the media.

The OPM hack wasn’t ‘snuffed out’ by any means - it was fairly well covered for a cyber attack of it’s era. Perhaps it wasn’t covered much in your part of Eastern Europe, but it was definitely not covered up.

The fact that some people have forgotten about it is a completely different issue.
Sadly, security will always be last on the budget list.
The FBI got a bunch of sophisticated career criminals to pay them for a chat app. Us normies don’t stand a chance.
Yeah I wasn’t complaining, just observing, so I agree with your last point.

But I disagree about the expensive part. The up front out the door price seems high, but you save so much in other ways that it ends up having a lower total cost of ownership than a mid priced car like a Camry, for me at least. YMMV.
Here's one definition I like: if not everyone can live comfortably and happily, even with infrastructure densification using current tech, without pushing the environment over carrying capacity then we're overpopulated.

Could everyone in the world own property without pushing the environment to the brink? Probably not.
> React uses a virtual DOM to avoid DOM unnecessary manipulation, which is slow and error prone.

While it may be the case that DOM is far from perfect, React is hardly the only way to avoid it. Even if for your use case avoiding DOM manipulation is necessary (which I strongly suspect is not true for like 95% of people who use React as the framework du jour), there seem to be significantly better thought out approaches, like for example Svelte, if you absolutely have to go down the "let's turn our browser workflow into a C-like one" road and churn out an opaque blob of code as a result. That also avoids unnecessary DOM manipulation, but unlike unnecessarily duplicating browser data structures is at least somewhat elegant, just like compilers are considered elegant compared to interpreters.

> React and Redux use that to their advantage, rather than insisting everything be modeled by classes.

Sure, but Javascript is not even based on classes. It traces its heritage back to Self which doesn't even have classes.
This only works if it's applied at the international level.

Otherwise, you'll just push manufacturing to dirtier and dirtier jurisdictions. ...rewarding the least-ethical countries on Earth.
Surely this is a human rights violation? And there is fraud involved. Identify theft. Theft of assets. Likely corruption as well. False imprisonment. Harassment. The list goes on.

So does the administrative incompetance of both the government and legal systems.

The threat about driving is hilarious. So she drives, gets caught driving or speeding. Who are they then going to charge? Whatever answer you come up with, the response will be: But she's dead. Now what? They'll have to charge her. Won't that be hilarious: charging a dead person. For driving. Take that to court.

The seizure of assets thing. Linking the car as her asset has to be incompetant policing. The deceased estate has to close off sometime. So add that to the list as well.

In reality they know she's alive and they just don't want to fix it because they simply don't want to. The case where her identity was deemed dead just has to be overturned - the fact they won't implies they don't want to. Just because. More corruption.

What a mess.
If you look for racism, you'll find it, even when it's not there. Skin color is a function of two things:

1. Amount of environmental sunlight (latitude).

2. Amount of circumstantial exposure to sunlight (lifestyle).

If the assumption is that early humans have lived more outdoors than sitting in caves all day like the modern human does in practice, then yes they'll have darker skin overall.

Is it racist to just state basic facts, or should we brainwash everything to be uniform and average across time and space?
“Amazon Go Back”: Meet the Indian Merchant Waging War on Jeff Bezos
Unfortunately, the statistics don't presently exist, so it's impossible to know, but I doubt most interaction between police and the general public is incident response and/or arrests. They work plenty of public and private crowd control and traffic control, and man more or less permanent patrols at malls, beaches, parks, and if you live near a city center, they just walk the streets. Most of the time I've personally interacted with a police officer, it's either been just happening to cross paths because I lived downtown and was going for a walk, when I worked at Disneyland since they had a dedicated unit, and Los Angeles Lakers championship parades.

None of those involved an expected naturally unhappy party.
Thanks for the kind remark!

> I don't think you should feel bad for being slow, or for doing "few" things at all.

Unfortunately, I think it's tricky to do this in a journal format. If you accept submissions, you'll have a constant flow of articles -- which vary greatly in quality -- who's authors very reasonably want timely help and a publication decision. And so it's very hard to go slow and do less, even if that's what would be right for you.

> Could you get a Distill editor endowment to pay editors using donations throughout a non-profit fiscal sponsorship partner? ...

I don't think funding is the primary problem. I'm personally fortunate to have a good job, and happily spend a couple thousand a year out of pocket to cover Distill's operating expenses.

I think the key problem is that Distill's structure means that we can't really control how much energy it takes from us, nor chose to focus our energy on the things about Distill that excites us.

Then again there ARE some northern communities that benefit from global warming.

Because Chrome and FF smash the color information in the bitmap into 32-bit integer sRGB format instead of a 128-bit float format with a color space.
In sweden they don't - at least not on the debit cards, which are common. They also just removed the holder's signature field too, nobody ever uses that (it's authenticated with pin + optional ID).
Who will be charged? A legally dead person. Nice. That will be fun to write up. But they will. Because they're idiots.
I am familiar with the various other things that are hosted on the GNU website. I'm referring to the actual authoritative legal text that gets copied alongside all the source code that you use, not any other essays on the subject. That text poses a different story than those essays. I'm also not sure why this is being brought up now, as the GP post you made acknowledged that the GPL was not even accomplishing that goal.

Edit: Since the license itself is vague on what those "social issues" actually are aside from sharing and changing the program, in my experience projects will tend to use it for whatever they feel like. Sometimes this is aimed towards community building but often isn't. To me the community building aspect mostly happens outside of these legal decisions, for example: closed source programs can have a community too, sometimes that community might even be hosted in the same places such as github.
The Screen Time Crisis Cannot Be Solved by Technology
Houses are bought and destroyed to make way for tri-plex blds and condos at a pretty consistent pace where I live, because the returns are that good. I'm surprised that this would be any different in SF.
I remember in the early 2000s, I just got started with SQL and one of my reaction was "SQL is great, but why do we need a server? Why not use a simple library and files?" So I asked my coworkers if such a thing existed. And I had a lot of reactions along the lines of "it is stupid why do you want that? Just install a server on localhost" few people were convinced. It wasn't even a case of "nice idea, someone else should do it it", I think people just associated SQL with servers and by being new to it, I didn't have that preconceived idea.

A couple of years later sqlite was everywhere. It was exactly what I had in mind (but with nowhere enough skills to do it myself).
It should be illegal to pay ransoms, period.
I've been reading things the "inclusivity" crowd writes for some time. There's nothing really new in anything that's said, it's all the same.

They promise a better, kinder, more "inclusive" world. They deliver "cancel culture", and self censorship under fear of public struggle sessions.

No thank you. If it's truly a choice between "psychologically safe cubicles with padded walls" and caustic code reviews where people trash every line of code I've ever written -- I'll take the latter.
10 million USD in 6 months? 10M?

So I immediately imagine an absurd nonsense like "liquid gold transfusion", then I realized it's 800g gold per day in the current gold price.

My pathetic mind can't even imagine the how absurd that is.
Spreading out would be the worst case scenario for the environment. (And I'm afraid we might see it due to easy remote work)

A single apartment building uses far fewer resources per person than the equivalent number of people would if they all had 10 acre lots in the countryside. The habitat destruction alone would be an ecological disaster.
It's been a very, very long time (~17-18 years) since I last touched it, but as I recall, Slackware had an init system back then that was similar to FreeBSD's.
Adopting the language is generally seen as a sign of in-group self-identification. The use-mention distinction is warranted. If skipped, one shouldn't be surprised if one is mistaken for espousing the views so stated.
> This is not the free market, it’s a perfect example of what’s wrong with government. The fact that the IRS rules are set by politicians and bureaucrats, not accountable to market forces, are what allows this corrupt situation to persist in the first place.

This is the sort of thing you get when you start from the conclusion, "Free market good, government bad", ignore the article, and just slavishly repeat the tired free market hypothesis.

The power is in the hands of the free market here, not in the hands of the IRS. You're blaming the IRS when clearly Intuit and Equifax are to blame. Don't comment on articles you didn't read.
It's just a useless observation. Same as being an alien approaching our planet and saying "oh.... Look at this planet. Over the years billions of people must have died".

Well, while is true that many people died in the colosseum (so in the entire history of our planet) what's the point? If was not to analyze or judge their behavior?

If you look at the OP reply on one of my comments you'd see that his intention indeed was to judge their behavior with our lens. Which is wrong. That's it.
I don't understand why the author leaves many words and phrases untranslated. They have translated everything else, but why leave "carte d’identité" or "grande école"? Why say "mairie (town hall)" instead of just saying town hall?

These are not loan words that exist in English, and the untranslated words themselves did not seem essential to the story.

I've seen a similar issue with Anime fansubs where the translator deems certain words to be untranslatable, and then adds an entire extra sentence of definition on screen upon the first usage.

That reminds me of telegrass [1], which is highly organized place on telegram to order cannabis (not sure about other drugs though) shipment in Israel (cannabis is illegal in Israel).

At some point telegraass had more than 200k members, which is fantastic for a such a small country like Israel (that would probably put it among some of the largest telegram channels in Israel).

However, the main purpose of it's creators, as the story goes, was not for profit but to promote cannabis legalization in Israel.

The chaos of mixed bricks can be creative in its self. I used to play this game where I had a small baseplate as an isolated island; Every morning, I'd grab a fistfull of bricks from the grand pile to "wash up" on the island shore, then challenge myself to build from them a home for the stranded minifig on the island. It was exciting not knowing what pieces you'd get!
It's true that more recent research further supports the above 1997 source's conclusion that sunspot cycles are a minor driver of global heating, and that human activity is the main cause of recent decades' rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration and the resulting rise in greenhouse warming and global mean temperature anomaly. One accessible summary of this that I posted elsewhere: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/couldnt-sun...

> there has been no significant net change in the Sun’s energy output from the late 1970s to the present, which is when we have observed the most rapid global warming

> if the Sun’s energy output had intensified, we would expect all layers of Earth’s atmosphere to have warmed. But we don’t see that. Rather, satellites and observations from weather balloons show warming in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) and cooling in the upper stratosphere (stratosphere)—which is exactly what we would expect to see as a result of increasing greenhouse gases trapping heat in the lower atmosphere. Scientists regard this piece of evidence as one of several “smoking guns” linking today’s global warming to human-emitted, heat-trapping gases.
This seems much less about which return actually 'sends data back' (terminates function execution) and more about how try/finally works in general
Maybe that’s the strategy: receive an infringement claim and parade it around in the press as evidence that the entrenched player is bullying the new FOSS player.

Bit of advice: it is true that there is no such thing as bad press, but there’s also no such thing as a good lawsuit…

Not sure what the issue might be. Let’s say you’re doing a multiply-add: you’d call the one for the data type you want and if any operand were of the wrong type you’d get a fault. Am I missing something?

“A rugged, minimal framework for composing JavaScript behavior in your markup.”

The tagline says it all, really. I never used it myself, but their examples seem to go a long way at explaining the philosophy.

The framework vs library debate is a boring one and goes nowhere.
The real issue is how everyone in the comments is actually more of an issue than the attacker. You all refuse to stop censoring and ignoring and shunning the thousands of people who publicly predicted these attacks... The WEF told us this "would happen" - but anything that is a "conspiracy theory" turns into the only story you're not allowed to tell.
No.

...which is why I'm against having an entire corporation like Intuit inserted between me and the government I'm trying to pay taxes to. Your opinion that administrators are suddenly fine when they're a corporation is absurd.
