> This logic could apply to any illegal trade.

Well, no, because most illegal trades aren’t illegal to protect people voluntarily engaging in one side or the other of the trade.

> Why do we make killers lives worse with criminalization of murder?

No one argues for criminalization of murder to protect people who would be murderers if it was legal, but people do argue for criminalization of sex workers to protect people who would be sex workers from exploitive labor conditions (but tend to fail to have a narrative, when so doing, about how narrowing their options to include only options that they would, were legal sex work available, see as worse than legal sex work—including illegal sex work—does that.)

I'll confess that I've never been able to make heads or tails of the Fielding paper. That is, it's not that I don't think I understand what it's saying, it's that I don't relate to it; it doesn't really seem to be describing solutions to problems that have bugged me during my career.

So I'll ask you and others here: what do you think are the most important and applicable insights from that paper?

For real, people straight up fetishize the experience of "going to space", but the reality is that you're crammed in stinky tin can for a while, and eat preserved food.

The real magic of human spaceflight for me is the science that is done up there. Sending a bunch of untrained rich people into space for the fun of it is not especially inspiring. The idea of getting crammed like sardines into a giant rocket so I can experience this with the masses is just not a great dream.
The 15 year old tech bubble now?
The biggest question I would have is:
How good the customer support is?

I have the worst luck, and all my new age accounts like Robinhood and Coinbase have little to no customer support compared to the incumbents.

I got lucky and the Robinhood situation resolved itself but I've been trying for over a year to contact Coinbase and circle the drain. Hopefully Square has better support.
Cardano: Initial StakePool Offerings (ISPO) and the Times Ahead
I admit it. I hate Windows 10. Probably 11 too. Maintaining four machines, two of which family related, I'm not able to say how much of a hassle it is to just keep them running, unsupervised and supervised. We are not talking rocket science here: mail and web browsing, some light gaming here and there. No malware, no miners, just plain and simple machines. After 6-12 months, they are not usable anymore.

Final straw for my private machine: I was not allowed to save in my own working folder. This was on a fresh out of the box install. I'm still angry. I switched to Linux full time after this.

I can not image how it must feel like when you are not having admin privileges. Given it is not a work machine, I would just refuse to go near it. No meditation would be enough to help me stay calm. My heart goes out to everyone who has to deal with this crap, I hope you get good money for it.
What Does Copilot Mean for Open Source?
"Do you mean to say that Buddhists ought to engage in religious flame wars?"

We have engaged in far worse than flame wars. Buddhists have fought in actual wars at various points of history and done other not so great things. For example, D.T. Suzuki is known for his writing on Zen Buddhism but he was also something of a right-wing nationalist.

I think GP is advocating that we approach Buddhism in its whole form rather than just the bits and pieces we are most comfortable with.
I'm aware of that, which is why I specified when you want to move to the newer edition.

FEV might work fine in China/US/Europe but most countries are simply not ready for them - this a good compromise.
They are in general going away. There are three problems: first, what do you do with the train during the day when nobody wants a bed (regular trains park at a station overnight and are ready to go the next morning). Second, they only are useful when the entire trip is about the length of a nights sleep - which limits the city pairs they work with (and note no changing trains in the middle of the night!). Third, how will you maintain the track if there are trains running on it.

The last is the biggest. You need to close track regularly to maintain it, and closing all tracks for 8 hours at night is the easiest for people to figure out.
The current title is "Our lawsuit against ChessBase – Stockfish – open-source Chess Engine", which I found confusing. Is Stockfish being sued? Does it belong to ChessBase? I suggest sticking with the simpler title from the blog, "Our lawsuit against ChessBase".

The “Uncanny” Life and Philosophy of Joseph Margolis: A Farewell
If you listen to the stream there's a moment when they ask each astronaut for a mock-serious 'status update'. At least one forgets to even respond. It feels like cosplay, like a tourist experience where you are pretending to be an astronaut despite having no responsibilities and little training. I would struggle to not feel embarrassment at pretending to be something I am not, and at the knowledge they are stroking my ego purely for my ego's benefit on the back of the very well earned reputation of real astronauts.

It reminds me of what might happen on a tourist experience in Bali, where they have you hold a big spear and take a photo for Instagram as if you were a tribal hunter. I would take the Blue Origin flight if it was free, but I would wish they would treat me honestly: as a random schlub who knows how to sit in a seat and smile.
Father Says Airbnb Aid After Daughter’s Death Was Damage Control
In fairness to Blue Origin, they're attempting a pretty large orbital rocket too. They've just been a lot slower about it than SpaceX.

As for Bezos, he also started the $10 billion Earth Fund to support climate change solutions. He could do a lot more, but he can't do it all at once; most of his wealth is in Amazon stock, and if he sold it all at once then it wouldn't be worth $200B anymore.
> are there any low-level/systems languages where a demoting cast with a generated runtime check gets the simple/clean syntax-sugared semantics (to encourage/favor its use), while truncating demotion requires a clumsier syntax (to discourage its use)?

Not exactly the same thing, but in a related area C++ does this a bit.

In C++ you can always still do a c-style cast `(int) some_var` (and the implicit casts obviously), but in general you're meant to use the C++ style explicit casts like `static_cast` and `const_cast`. These are generally tidy, but the most powerful and dangerous of these casts is deliberately awkwardly named as `reinterpret_cast<int>(some_var)` rather than something terse.

It's always easy to spot during a code review.
That’s why I am using OpenRC and S6 for my initd on all my Linux boxes.

> One Thing And One Thing Only

I mean, that's just fashion that evolved in response to the previous fashion, which was bloated software that did a million things badly. Fair enough that the pendulum should swing back the other way, but there certainly is a place for software that only does one thing and does it well.
I see this argument made pretty frequently, and it might be correct for a team that's just starting out.

But service discovery and zero downtime upgrades are not that hard to implement and maintain. Our company's implementations of those things from 12 years ago have required ~zero maintenance and work completely fine. Sure, it uses Zookeeper which is out of vogue, but that also has been "just working" with very little attention.

A thought experiment where we had instead been running a Kubernetes cluster for 12 years comes out pretty lopsided in favor of the path we took for which one minimizes the effort spent and complexity of the overall system.
You are confusing conservatives with republican politicians. You are also forgetting that 110 "liberals" in congress also voted for the war.

The GPL's Termination clause allows Stockfish to terminate ChessBase's use of the license, but does anything prevent someone from forking the code and licensing it to Stockfish as an end around? It seems like it would be very difficult to enforce.

It's a complete mess. I filed my 2019 taxes on time in 2020. The IRS didn't process them until early 2021. Which meant that I got the first stimulus check, I got skipped for the second, and I got the wrong amount in the third.

So... I had to fix all that in my 2020 taxes, filed on time in 2021. They owe me a $6000 refund. And they haven't been processed yet. Because everyone who had to fix the stimulus check mess-ups has to have their return manually processed since their computers can't do it [1]. So... I can pretty much guarantee that my 2021 taxes will be a mess thanks to the current child tax credit business.

I think it is pure ignorance to call Buddhism a "philosophy rather than a religion" and sneer at idols.

The value of copilot is in ideating solutions not code correctness.

Certainly, there is a media component to it. I live in Minneapolis. If you ask my relatives in wisconsin, they’d say that ‘Murder’apolis has been, and continues to be, a flaming hellhole of constant arson and carjackings ever since George Floyd was murdered. They watch local television news (with a sprinkling of Facebook garbage newsfeed) and don’t know enough to realize their entire mental model of the place is wildly skewed.

Likewise, I’ve never stepped foot into Baltimore, but I’ve watched The Wire so…
> Some banks offer overdraft protection

I've always thought overdraft protection was disturbingly like "fire protection". As in, three dudes come to your door, and the skinny one says "Nice place ya got here, be a shame if it burned down" while one of the beefy ones fiddles with a Zippo lighter.
By far small enough that you could easily protect it if need be.

Clicking the middle option, I see that I must be logged in to view anything.

What you want to do with this information is up to you, but it doesn't look good from the customer side. And from the perspective of someone trying to figure out if Julia Computing has a future as a money-making enterprise, it looks iffy at best.
> IMHO one should always be using C99 types instead of int, but Linux predates that.

"Always" is a strong way of putting it, there are often times where it makes sense to use the platform's "natural" word sizes (which is the entire point of having `int` `long` `long long` etc.)

You could make something similar to FTP with that, but it wouldn't be interoperable. Web browsers just don't expose a generic socket api where you can specify ports, bind(), listen(), accept(), connect(), and so on. So you can't make generic socket clients or servers. XHR, websockets, webrtc, and so on might be able to connect to a specific port, but they send things that would cause errors, and can't send/receive arbitrarily crafted sequences of data.

You're absolutely correct that some of what I want is to make my own life easier and be lazy, but there's also a political calculus. Almost anything I do to cater to them helps split my own political coalition.

One possible way to look at 2016 is that the left wing of the Democratic party felt taken advantage of. The party put forth a centrist candidate (after 8 years of a President who wasn't nearly as progressive as they'd hoped). There was little enthusiasm, while the people you've asked me to understand voted for a candidate who was obviously awful in many ways.

So the political calculus can say, "It doesn't matter what they want. You can't reach them, as evidenced by their willingness to vote for such a terrible candidate. I need instead to lean in the exact opposite direction, doing things that they hate vocally, because they can't vote against me any harder than they already do."

That's my excuse to not act on that knowledge. I have only so many actions I can take, and I will spend them in the way that does the most good.

Note that I'm not committed to that, merely explaining the view as being something other than "they're assholes so I can be an asshole back". But I do believe that the time has come to consider making them chase me rather than the other way around.
Stockfish still holds the copyright. You’re using their code with their license, and so does everybody you share that code with.
My two cents: is that really the problem? I don't think so.

I mean that the non-creative part is the problem. Why would anybody want to eliminate the creative part and leave the mindless factory-like part?

And there is a huge non-creative, tedious work in programming. A lot of workarounds, minutiae, leaky abstractions, kludges and plain simple idiocy that doesn't get removed because "it's too much work".
I agree! This is much needed
I know what the author means by "their bad prototype is worth more than your brilliant idea" ... but honestly, on the other hand, I think placing this kind of value on halfbaked ideas that simply happened to get executed, is it's own kind of evil.
Wouldn't make that security worse? Then any FTP connection would have to be proxied through a third-party, which has all opportunity to monitor or MITM the files. This in particular as FTP is often used to transfer non-public files.

Alternatively, Firefox could allow standalone clients to register for the ftp:// uri scheme (I think that's already possible) and, if no client is registered, redirect to some info page that explains the situation and offers links to standalone clients.
Being ten minutes from a city, it seems a single cell tower would solve the issue much better than a satellite no? In that instance, satellites feel like a work around for poor development practices (whether that be city or state regulation, or provider investment) than a reasonable solution.

> it’s mostly about the negative side effects of meditation that the author believes is under-documented or under-reported

Before this article, I didn't know meditation could have any adverse effect. Until today, I haven' read a single depiction, a single mention of meditation going wrong. Except in fictions.

So this claim that one does not simply learn about the negative side effects of meditation sounds very plausible to me.
Aren’t most of their ideas bad, though? That’s my issue with this article; usually both the idea and the execution is lacking.
From the article:

>The projected timeline for the LTS includes the first flight of a technology demonstrator in 2023, followed by construction of pre-series prototypes in 2024-25, and delivery of initial production examples potentially as early as 2026-27. All this, however, depends on first securing the funds to continue the project.
Software errors which are traceable usually get dealt with with ease. The remaining majority are unknown and governed by power law - eg. a bug uncovers a major redesign, but there is no time for rewrites so we have to roll along with it, complicating the design until next big rewrite if it ever happens.
Power law phenomena are quantitatively untraceable. Averages mean nothing.

Ergo software engineering is largely untraceable and better treated as a discovery or research process. To make things efficient, focus on removing impediments and continual simplification, but don't expect to predict much in advance. Unless it is an instance of a previous task, in which case why isn't there a function/library/framework for it yet?

I'm a bit confused about "the regular combo of payment service provider + bank + loan company" - from what I see (perhaps it's a difference between markets?), all that you describe is exactly what most commercial banks offer to businesses, they want to have it all in one place, they can make a better loan offer if they have your cash flows, etc. The main difference between them and Stripe is that a bunch of banks will not do the IT integration part of card payment processing but will only be the 'merchant bank' handling the financial part and settlement after e.g. some merchant gateway routes the individual messages, but they were offering the combo of card acceptance/accounts/payroll/loans/credit lines/etc decades before Stripe existed.
