That is essentially a repackaging of helloSystem (https://hellosystem.github.io/docs), which itself is a FreeBSD spin with a custom display manager.

The "source code" in this repo consists entirely of Makefiles and build scripts for working with helloSystem, along with a few FreeBSD header includes that were copied verbatim.

I mean, more power and best of luck to the author here. But let's not exaggerate the act of forking another repo and tinkering with its build process. All of the items in the post here (e.g. macOS application and filesystem compatibility) are still twinkles in the author's eye at this point.
From his website:

“ The National Guard will be tasked with compassionately serving our homeless community during the first 60 days of Kevin Paffrath’s administration. Day 1, construction will also begin on 80, new Emergency Facilities. After 30 days, our transition to housing begins. Modern Emergency Facilities will include: mental-health facilities, detox facilities, educational facilities, canteens, and provide medical support for ALL Californian’s without housing. Then, we have to also solve the reasons that CAUSE homelessness. ”
Aha, brings back memories. Had to implement SAML login as a Service Provider once - a true abomination of a protocol, will never go near it again, and that was the easier side of things.
Neat! I have a short-story concept from a few years ago where humans developed the tech to use the intense gravity of a star to store and transmit information (a stellar internet, if you will) at faster-than-light speeds (speed of light from the equipment to the gravity threshold, and instantaneous between stars). Add in some drama, some explosions, and some space battles...
They could very well be different than all of the preceding ones in the sense that there could be less of them than the preceding generation which is something that hasn't happened since mankind started to reproduce in earnest.

Famines, pandemics and wars are mere speed bumps compared to the kind of impact this can have. And if not the next generation then maybe the one after it but this will not go on for much longer before some kind of limit is reached.

It's all the same until suddenly it's not.
Here's one (sort of) from the UK.

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

Hundreds jailed or fined due to a faulty computer system blaming them - no other evidence - Post Office covered it up repeatedly - victims still not fully compensated.
Currently at a hybrid company spread out across multiple offices. So all that happened was that we moved our meetings from our home offices to our open office desks.
I worked on something like this a few years ago, only in VR so you could walk around the visualization and use your spatial recognition abilities in 3D.

One part we struggled with was evolving the visualization with the codebase. I see in the demos at the bottom that small changes to the codebase can have a large impact on the visualization (unless I'm missing something), making it difficult to treat the visualization as a fingerprint over time. I wonder if there are plans to address this.

This is an area I'm very interested in, happy to chat about it any time.
Avoiding stress (frequent wildfires) makes you fragile (megafires).
We’re inundated with folks screaming about danger and hyping up fear from every angle - everything from economic collapse, to stock market crashes, to apocalyptic visions from every angle about climate, etc.

And what most people, especially younger folks, don’t realize is that it’s AlWAYS been this way. And most of the time, when something does blow up, there wasn’t a clear or unambiguous difference between the thing that blew up, and all the things everyone was screaming about that did not.

It’s natural that people are going to tune out and not take it super seriously, especially people who have given up on doing the deep research to have an informed opinion on the constant stream of new topics everyone is worried about. Which is a problem when it legitimately is a serious problem.
Exactly! Here in Mexico the government implemented sugar taxes and "warning labels" [1] for unhealthy food. I think any sort of "government mandated" approach doesn't work for the USA. I think in the US a better response would be obtained by "credit tokens", tax deductions or some other money related incentive, given that the US is more capitalist.

The interesting issue is how to operationalize such type of incentives program. (i.e. Are you COVID19 vaccinated? we will give you a 5% discount in your taxes next year. You get a unique "discount coupon code" after getting your 2nd shot.)

Billionaires no...but he did fundraise for his movement and put all of the money he got for his noble prize into it as well. Lets not confuse the 60's civil rights movement with anything going on today though...there is a lot more shadow money with today's activist movements on both sides of the political spectrum.
It's important to remember that plastic waste is virtually unrelated to climate change. They both might be "green" issues, but plastic straws in our oceans aren't going to have any significant effect on warming the planet. They'll just end up causing ecological changes/damage.

Malicious actors try to conflate the two. Carbon gas emissions pose an existential threat to the future of human society; plastic straws do not.
"Private Relay prevents clients from pretending to be in a different country, so your server can use the country assigned to the IP address it sees to determine the client’s region. Most connections are also associated with the city closest to the client, allowing your content to remain relevant."

I see that some countries on their egress IP list are a lot more specific (city/town level) than usually available in those countries (which don't have city/town level data generally available). So the private relay might actually be providing more information about location than if a user would be coming from his own IP.
In fairness, scientists have no doubt about climate change either. And yet, here we are. That's exactly my point.
>In order to reach 1.61 metric tons an individual would not be able to own a gas-powered car, could not regularly consume meat, could not live in remote areas only visitable by plane etc. Many things people don't even consider "luxuries" (like visiting family overseas) would be a non-starter.

So literally what was normal life in Europe up to the 80's, even 90s for some regions.

It's not difficult to imagine how to accomplish this, we have even more available to make life comfortable.

Ask anyone born in the 50's, they'll share tricks.

> I'm saying you would always prefer to be handed an instance of an `a` instead of a (Maybe a) since it's more precise.

I disagree with this. `Maybe a` is more precise because it more closely represents the actual system within which we are working. It is simply a fact that our configuration directories might not exist. It is only within the author's own head that they prefer a concrete type because they value being able to point to their variable and say, "look I have this value! It's right here!" in a procedural sense, more than adopting a more functional approach.

> You can trivially construct a (Maybe a) from an a but you can't easily go in the other direction. You either need to produce a dfeault value or use a partial function like fromJust to obtain an 'a' from a 'Maybe a'

Again, the above is just not accurate! Or it is accurate in a very specific - "I want this particular value in this particular scope" - kind of way. Even in your example, we can be statically certain that `restOfProgram` will receive a value of type `[FilePath]`[0].

This is starting to feel like a waste of time. You are very much hung up on trying to defend the idea that using `Maybe` is something to be avoided. I understand where you are coming from. I really do. But you are simply not going to convince me because I prefer to model systems as a whole and I prefer to avoid doing extra gymnastics to solve already-solved problems. Throwing an exception? C'mon... we both know that example sucks.

My critique of the post really has nothing to do with choosing `Maybe` vs validating. My critique is that the author's code is utterly failing to exemplify parsing over validation! Using `Maybe` to chain parsers together in order to build an input would have been perfect. Unfortunately, they kind of mucked it up halfway through because they appear to be afraid of `Maybe`. It's a shame given that the post seems to have gotten around.

[0] This whole `NonEmpty` non-sense is a sideshow that's not worth discussing (other than to further illustrate how `Maybe` can be used to simplify multi-step parsing). What happens when you need the Nth element? You just keep re-defining the type to include more values? When we get to `NonEmpty6` I think maybe we will have realized we are on the wrong path. For our purposes it's better to think of `[FilePath]` as `Input` and not get bogged down in the specifics of its shape. The important bit is that it might not exist.
Let the nuclear powers build the reactors and design the ships to slide them in like big batteries then IMHO. There can't be more than a few thousand cargo ships in the world--it's a risk that could be managed.
> SAML uses signatures based on computed values.

"Computed values" is almost as general as "unit". It tells me absolutely nothing.
1992, Bush utters “Ozone Man” into the lexicon as a pejorative against Al Gore.

There is a difference between campaign rhetoric and policy, to be sure, but the country lost clarity of focus rapidly as a nation after the Gulf War and began to let trivial things divide it. (I remember the 1990s culture wars, and I’d like to forget.) Bush senior may have been one of the last decent human Republicans outside of his periodic populist gestures. I’d say Nixon (modulo corruption) or Ford (ineptitude) or Eisenhower was probably the last. I’ll never forgive the Bush son for pissing away my generations’ future and Rove’s mobilization of the demos into this gerrymandered hellscape.
Ah, I mean vanilla Spacemacs. :D

I also meant I barely changed it, nothing more. Hence why I was baffled that switching to terminal mode lost like half the syntax coloring. :|
They are far more capable. UI is a strange type of visual functionality. The late 80s and 90s UIs manage to minimise ambiguity and make implied function painfully clear... never did anyone hunt for a button amongst a sea of non-interactive content in any of these UIs.

To be blunt, a lot of modern UI are like pretty glass Norman doors... lest you dirty our pretty frosted glass with your filthy hands for the sake of usability, what will the stake holders think!

I am not blind to aesthetics, but I believe form should emerge from function, as per Dieter Rams. Hopefully we will swing back towards prioritising function, but it doesn't have to look dated.

Not that is the issue. Residency is the norm, the US is both residency and citizenship.

Not really. Nobody with any experience would touch the job and risk their reputation. The GOP had to go with what they could get.
Thanks for the share. I’m aware of these articles and aware of the age-old practices, which are not even exclusive to Americas or ancient times. But I don’t see any data on the whole wilderness being turned into a garden by these tribes and mega fires not being there thanks to it.
> The theory of algorithms is more important particular language or implementation details.

They agree on the philosophy, but Knuth disagrees on the praxis.
I don't much about it either until I started bit banging old gaming console controller protocols with an Arduino and other microcontrollers. Here it becomes necessary since you don't have a whole lot of processing power available for the lower level Arduinos and I use a hell don't know Atmega assembly to help speed things along.

Since learning there I have only used xor in a JavaScript frontend I wrote because I can.
Otherwise I would have just used an if state to check for 1 and then change it to 0 and vice versa.
Yes, it's the boy who cried wolf on a planet wide scale. But it just so happens that this planet is the only planet we've got and we're doing a piss-poor job of stewardship.

I was under the impression that the evidence for the Tonga event being the driver of a human bottleneck has weakened in recent years. Is that incorrect?
Good points and I agree with you. Just wanted to share the FAQ for clarity on the claims made in the paper.
> Let’s get rid of SAML.

Good luck, it's prolific throughout so many enterprises and academic institutions.

We might see some support start to materialise for OIDC as larger enterprises start to make use of e.g. AzureAD properly, but you're still going to see tons of universities especially running their own Shib instance. And larger enterprises are going to be difficult to shift off of SAML when they've had X years of experience with it and their supplier on-boarding processes are built around it.

The entire Jisc UK Access Management Federation is based on top of SAML, so that'll power the vast majority of academic resource authentication flows. You can argue that security is less of an issue for this use-case (particularly when e.g. Sci-Hub exists) but I think it's likely that once you have the infrastructure set-up for this it gets used for more and more services.

This is quite obvious if you have spent some time using bitshift operators, just like inheritance and traits and all that are quite obvious if you have spent some time with OOP. If you have never programmed in C or C++ or the likes then you probably don't have a strong intuition about 8,16,32,64 and the bit operators. You probably don't know how to express a couple of common numbers in hexadecimal either.

Different programming. Not better or worse.

For the record, I had no fucking idea what that code snippet in the article was supposed to be doing had I not know the objective or function name beforehand.
The shortest possible TL;DR of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second#History appears to be "because TV and radio broadcast systems in the 1950s were based on solar time rather than astronomical time and wanted to stay in sync to each other."

Well, it is de facto standard in Microsoft world. Honestly, I don’t actually share author's opinion, but it is well presented.
> So?

You have made peace with these things which is commendable.

That said, you must still understand how big of a change this would be for other people who have not. For example, I suspect the Canadian government would have a hard time telling indigenous populations in Nunavut that they have banned flights to their communities. Same would go for island nations like Iceland or even the state of Hawaii.

You and I can probably both agree that others will be reluctant to give up eating meat, fresh fruits/vegetables that have been flown in from warmer climates. We can probably also agree that most people would not vote for a party that promised to shut down global international tourism.

I cannot see any political solution to this problem.
I think back to how we have responded to this pandemic. We were in denial until the pandemic was spreading unchecked wildly through the population, and even a good chunk of the population is still in denial after 100,000s of dead.

We are a hopeless species when it comes to organizing effective collective action ahead of known disaster. We seem to only respond collectively once disaster has struck, and even then it takes time.

I read a book in 1997 that was about this. Can not remember the name or author of it for the life of me. It was about climate change and the risk that North Atlantic currents would shift causing a state change that would be hard to reverse. 24 years later we think it is getting closer, but we still do not act swiftly.

I don't see it as political at all. It is simply NIMBYism. Everyone wants trash pick-up but not a landfill near them. They want sewer that always flushes but no water treatment near them. They don't want new malls because of traffic. They don't want new apartments because they are afraid of who may move in and their property values.

The only reason straws caught on is because no one cared. We are all absolutely willing to give up straws since they don't require any real change in our behavior. Most stores offer reusable bags but people (and lobbyists) would fight back if disposable bags were outlawed. We could charge for them but people would rather pay an extra $0.50 at the grocery store than change behavior. We are addicted to convenience. People hate change, more than the pieces of change, more than anything else. There is a lot of awful in this world driven specifically by people's fear of change.
And all it needed was a Great Depression-level drop in the stock market, every ICU filled to the brim for months, and thousands dying every day.

The effects of climate change have occurred much more slowly and silently. At some point it will no longer be silent, but it will already be too late to meaningfully change its trajectory.
I agree these are huge challenges, and that climate activists are unrealistic in their expectations of how much people are willing to sacrifice or change. I would guess most climate activists take more than one flight per year, and certainly I do as someone who is concerned about climate (in non-COVID times.)

For this reason, I really think technology has to be used to solve these problems. EVs, public transit, and high-speed rail where it makes sense are very straightforward answers for many things. There is also low-hanging fruit like insulating buildings, and switching buildings to use electricity instead of natural gas. In the US, all of these could be accelerated mostly with government subsidies. There aren't really any major technical hurdles to adopting them right now.

Beyond that, I think we have to have carbon capture, and carbon-neutral biofuels. That would enable us to continue flying and eating meat. Hopefully lab-grown meats also pan out in the coming decades or so.
They get hijacked with some regularity.
> Let's be honest, most of us didn't have a problem with the office, most of us had a problem with the open office and the commute, both of which are solvable.

I kinda agree with this. at least, I wouldn't mind going to the office if it was a pleasant ten minute walk from my home. but how is the commute a solvable problem? many offices are located in suburban office parks. no one wants to live there. and desirable neighborhoods within walking distance of good employers are, well, desirable. you can't pay everyone enough money to live in the same nice places where everyone else also wants to live.
If somebody does a 51% attack his tokens would be worth nothing the next day. Might be plausible if you target smart contracts that are worth a lot more than the coin itself.

Otherwise this is just a nonissue.
