2021 update:

* The Zig Software Foundation now exists

* My total income including ZSF Salary, GitHub Sponsors, Patreon is now about 4000 USD per month. Legally, my ZSF salary is 160K per year, but I have been consistently donating it back to the org since frankly we just don't have that much revenue at this point in time, and I've been prioritizing getting that money to other Zig contributors.

* The $150/month to Rich Felker now comes from ZSF instead of my personal account.

* Zig 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.7.0, 0.8.0 have all been released. 0.9.0 is coming soon.

* I no longer really have an opinion about V; it's been two years since I paid any attention to it.
Something taking a while for someone to think of it doesn't mean that only one organization should be allowed to make it.

It took hundreds of thousands of years for people to come up with the wheel. The concept of the wheel isn't patented.
How do you keep in touch with them on Facebook? What makes your post reach them, if most don’t check often?

I want Facebook for this purpose but it feels like it’s really not a blog. At all.
The fact that ABS isn't standard on more bikes (especially e-bikes) is crazy to me.

GUI computers still lets you do all of that though. The main damage the switch to smartphones has is that they severely limit what you are allowed to do with your computer, you cannot properly tinker with them even if you want to.
Di2 (and SRAM's equivalent AXS) has been getting aggressively trickled down the groupset line and the price has been dropping precipitously. It's a bit obscured by the ongoing supply chain issues, though.

Electronic shifting will become a standard, or at least a common option, on mid-range 105/Rival bikes ($2-4k) within the next few years most likely. The same way hydraulic disc brakes have trickled down over the past several years.

I still ride mechanical myself, but have friends with electronic shifting and they rave about it. It's nearly zero maintenance because it's self-adjusting. Just lube it and clean it, and replace the chain every few thousand miles.

Even though electronic shifting may be "better" I still find a beautiful simplicity in the all-mechanical nature of a bicycle.
Is there a 2D tabletop simulator? Friends and I have used it a ton as a fallback for games which don't have a digital copy; you can just scan your physical copy and have it running in TTS in an afternoon. I'm not sure there's a good alternative?

(also for true tabletop games like 40k or sigmar the 3d geometry is actually important and fun)
> Learning something for work isn't the same as having one at home that you can play with growing up

Before you said we were talking about society. Society doesn't care about people's hobbies.

> That is a good point, add "increases the burden for people to enter university" and "increases the divide between those with degrees and without" to the lists of problems this causes.

Do you have any support at all for these statements? It seems to me that more people than ever have access to computers, at younger ages. When I was at university in the late 90's people didn't bring laptops, now elementary school kids do. And every other boy is addicted to Fortnite.
Cultural Humility as a Framework for Anti-Oppressive Archival Description (2020)
Probably not a huge team, but I guess the number of people involved has easily 3 digits, as MS needs to pay the developers, marketing people, manage the releases through Windows Updates, collect feedback, check compatibility etc.

At the scale of MS a "major" Windows feature can't be cheap, even if it looks simple.

Seriously, look at how difficult it is for them to port the old style control center or improve notepad.exe.
I think it’s more than just click baits. Many Journalists have essentially become “activists”, you can see their Twitter feed and it would basically make you question whether they are some party affiliate or journalists. So in stead of telling the news as is, they would add their own twists bringing in partisan commentators. Essentially news has become so opinionated, on a given topic depending on who is covering it you would get an entirely different picture.

That has nothing to do with click bait and more to do with keeping loyal user base inflamed and plugged in. That’s why NYT doesn’t even bother how 50% of the country would feel when they blatantly call the worst pandemic in century “red COVID”. Or when Fox News cheers at the sitting presidents inability to answer a question without completely losing the thread as if it is a win for the side they are in. Real loser is the American people as always.
Eliminating alcohol from your system reduces your BAC. One drink plus one hour ought to give you (fairly close to) a 0% BAC.
So convert the USDC to dollars and withdraw the dollars. Done.
once again, you are over-estimating the powerful SJW Unioin.

A lot of talented libertarian, conservative people can't work at facebook because it's too woke.

May be a Sheryl Sandberg will make way for Peter Thiels...and it's a fantastic thing for FB.

At this point too many FBers have to walk on eggshells.

A clean cut of SJWs will make FB a better and more powerful company
It would beg the question if it were trying to show that Facebook is harmful. But it's not, it's trying to show that Facebook doesn't care that it is harmful when profits are at stake. The fact that it is harmful has already been demonstrated by Facebook (re: leaked studies).
I think the sweet spot was people growing up in the time that their early experience spanned the DOS & 8-bit era into the ubiquity of GUIs (say mid-1980s to mid-1990s), which may reflect my own familiarity bias though I was technically a little earlier than that.
Additionally it sounds like they are planning on using some energy to maintain the heat in the wire:

"Heat would continue to be supplied to the operational wire periodically but not constantly in order for it to maintain its heated state and keep the chain guide in position. The system would be operated by "an electric current generator installable in a pedal crankset of the bicycle"

Although I imagine they could get around this with some sort of toggle spring mechanism to hold it in place.

What category used to have a computer 10 years ago but doesn't now?
The answer is obvious.

Naturally people eat what is front of them. If meat is available they will eat it, if meat is not available they can live without it.

That's got nothing to do with the question of "should humans eat meat from industrial farms".
You can even "save with used" on that page. $27.76
Facebook is essentially a utility as governments use it as one of the primary ways to communicate with their citizens. Banning someone from Facebook, in the US, is unconstitutional.
On the contrary, 2x10 bike setups are getting more common these days even for MTB, all the manufacturers offer 2x10 setups.

One big advantage is that all combinations on a 2x10 are usable, whereas with a classic 3x9 you have to avoid being at high gear up front and low gear at the back, or you will be crossing the chain and damaging components / dropping chain.
We have fine-grained vocabulary for snow in English too. Ask any skiier. I can tell you for certain we have hundreds of words for flowing water in English but I never figured that English people were bored when they coined a brook vs a stream vs a spring.
Ideally - ideally IBM would have created and used their own microprocessor based on the System 370 architecture. But no - for them the PC was a glorified typewriter: even PS/2 (based on 80286) was mostly positioned for use merely as a "smart" terminal for mainframes. So, today the entire world is basically run on faster "typewriters" (sometimes enhanced to include "windows" - even on the server side).
> Facebook certainly has the right to ban this extension

Surely they can fight against it by changing how the platform works, or ban it if it was hosted somewhere on FB, or ban the author because he wrote something that hits their core business, but sending a cease and desist for an extension that is hosted elsewhere is like a tobacco company sending C&D letters to people selling anti smoking patches or telling publicly that smoking is bad for health.
WTF!, this is bullying plain and simple; I already stay away from everything related to FB as much as I can (I knew about the recent FB outage by the evening news, didn't even turn on the tablet with Whatsapp that day), but I will try hard to turn that nearly 0.1% use to 0%.

> I.e. the point is the hypocrisy.

Exactly. At least Google removed the "Do no evil" part from their mission.
Thing that can cause controlled movement. Find all the places where controlled movement is desired. Combine. Iterate.

What is likely worse is that this probably isn't at all practical and does not constitute an invention. It likely came out of a general call for patentable ideas from the engineering department. Ford will never ever do anything with this. It is only useful for preventing innovation outside of Ford.
Should just link to the Wheelbased article they cite. It is a great cite to follow for patent coverge though most stuff they cover may be not be of interest to anyone who isn't an avid mountain biker.

Cycling websites poaching stories from wheelbased has become somewhat of a thing at least this one cites them. Pinkbike had a string of stories come out on patents just after they appeared on wheelbased.
This appear to be using Wasmtime to run the WASM. The main point seems to be:

> Sat has the ability to create a mesh with other instances using local network discovery and websockets. By default, Sat starts on a random port, and listens for requests from its peers. In the future, this will enable some very interesting network topologies and potentially an integration with Atmo, but for now we are focused on being tiny and fast.

I'm not sure what this means/implies though.

Facebook is harmful, but this is a bad argument for why. The knife analogy is a good counter example.
> Just because there is a cve in a dependancie does not mean its exploitable in context of your application.

Sure, but I'd rather be alerted to the issue so that I can investigate.
The inconvenient reality of domain "ownership" is that you don't own anything at all. You rent it, and there's no control on increases or fees like other types of rent/lease. It's sort of like renting a car for a year and being surprised you don't have any equity when you turn it back in.
These days mostly lichess

Same in the Netherlands. Rich, poor, young, old, everybody rides bikes as a normal way to get places. Not sure what chip the GP has on their shoulder, but it definitely doesn't match with my experience.
> Why don't more people bike? Because the entire biking community, culture, and market is built around making it hard and dangerous.

I think it has more to do with the lack of biking infrastructure. Instead bikes are forced to share car infrastructure or pedestrian infrastructure (where available). This makes it very difficult to get serious about cycling for daily use. Most times you're stuck competing with 3000+ lb death machines flying past within 2ft of you.
Then I remembered that ebikes are getting extremely popular these days...

But for e-bikes, why not use internal gears? You do not really need the fine-grained shifting on e-bikes. Besides that, internal gears require less maintenance and allows for models that use a chain guard or belt drive (== less maintenance).
good introduction, do we have any way to end humiliation of a country? this will be best way to end wars.
For someone who said they're open to having their views challenged, the tenacity with which you respin other's arguments suggests the opposite. I see little to no engagement with the argument's content, a lot of objections to form, and a lot of interpretation.

You don't come off as someone who wants to have good faith discussions. Instead you come off as someone who wants to bait people into replying, then go word-for-word through their reply to find any gotcha moment you can to match your spin.

In this reply chain for example, you've:

- framed me as thinking CBC is far left (a lie)

- put words in the mouth of another commenter,

- removed critical points from my comment,

- simplified my argument to a straw-man,

- tried to convert an opinion into a statement of fact by accusing me of just using "weasel words",

- inferred my motive, and

- accused me of leaving out other arguments.

This topic is inherently opinion based. I've been clear that's what I'm offering. Multiple times now you've accused me otherwise. You're free to respectfully disagree with my opinion, but this is neither respectful, nor a discussion of opinion with you at this point.

I'm not going to go any further with you down this line of conversation. Have a nice day.
It's well known that alcoholics are for the most part better metabolizers of alcohol (see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S166526811... Current concepts in alcohol metabolism, Caballeria), but its not at all related to liver enlargement. My understanding is that an enlarged liver is a symptom of alcoholic liver disease, not a physiologic adaptation to better metabolize alcohol. The current consensus is that most of the increased metabolism of alcohol comes from enzyme upregulation in the liver.

The authors misunderstanding of physiology makes me doubt any further conclusions he makes.
I'm not republican per-se, but I identify as somewhat conservative. I get my news by assembling multiple stories about events, along with any social media non professional reporting I can get. Generally speaking, I don't believe there's enough good information out there such that I can have a real idea of 'what's going on' outside of things directly in my life and community.

>Every piece of evidence I've seen
Did you believe it when they said inflation was going to be transitory? How about when they had back-to-back headlines that Powell 'saved the economy' and that 'Billionaires quadrupled their wealth during the crisis'?
I mean, you don't have to use the scanning tools if you'd prefer not to know.

Don't blame me for editing out something you imagined. I didn't touch it. If you're having problems with hallucinations and memory see a neurologist.
It's not like derailleurs are plagued with issues or costly maintenance as it is. It takes a lot of riding to knock them far enough out of spec where its a problem, and a tuneup at a bike shop is like $25. Pay that once a year and you will have like zero problems with your bike unless you crash it badly. If its a matter of protecting the derailleur from damage like on mountain bikes, you can install a guard for a few bucks.
Whenever I've looked at the BAC chart and compared it to my drinking, I discover that I would be incredibly uncomfortable driving while anywhere near .08 BAC, so I always assumed it was underestimated somehow... or else people are allowed to be way drunker and still drive than seems safe.
Let me try to put this in terms more familiar to Americans: Could an international agreement that the US ratifies, supersede your constitution?

E.g. if NAFTA had a clause curtailing the 1st amendment, would you expect your Supreme Court to concede to it? To allow circumventing the constitution via international agreement?
Work porting System 7/8/9 to Intel would have been completely wasted.
Also, a lot of developers forget to it, but even if you start with a fast language down the line you will end up rewriting it. The problem is that requirements change a lot and because of that your application will often end up being a mess. For similar reason RDBMS is also better than NoSQL when starting a project.

When rewriting you already know how the project is now, so you can design your app around that, which makes things simpler and faster.
I see this argument a lot and it makes zero sense. If your customers are currently paying you $15 for your app why would you suddenly undercut yourself and start charging $10 when you could keep charging $15 and pocket the extra $5?

Maaaaybe competition would force you to drop prices but a lot of consumer software isn't fungible and doesn't really compete on price.

Taking away Apple's 30% cut shouldn't be talked about as a pro-consumer move because it isn't. There's this pot of money that is either going to go to the app publisher or Apple. That's who the fight is really between.
> As it is the EV subsidies are really just helping homeowners buy luxury cars which seems a little backwards

The goal was to drive scale so that the price would drop, this has been successful. In the US the federal subsidy phases out after 500K. Tesla and GM have both passed that and have models that are less than the US average for a new car of $40K.

Many non-tree hugger analysts project that upfront EV costs will be equal to ICE by the middle of the decade.
The simpler answer is probably that biking requires physical effort and exposure to elements, before one ever encounters issues of road traffic, or gear optimization for safety. No doubt some combination of all these factors are at play. Neither of you are wrong about identifying issues, but presuming that a materially greater portion of the population would start biking if we could only solve this one aspect of law or gear seems to ignore the broader trend of people also disfavoring exercise and the need to be looking good at work (not sweaty or looking like the dog the cat dragged in).
So you believe that if we just vote, the system that the rich have built will fix itself?

These flaws are not bugs, these are part of the design. It was never meant to be democracy for the many, it was only democracy for the wealthy. Like the greco-roman model.

We need working class democracy, which builds worker oriented hierarchies from neighborhoods upwards. No far away senators that """""represent"""" you. You elect neighbors to represent the interests of the community majority. From neighborhoods to districts, to regions and states. Everyone closely accountable to their base. With full economic transparency, available to all in a public ledger system.

But this implies the elimination of private property over socially productive assets. You can't own something if it serves other people. It's not about giving up your house or you car. It's about not owning a pharmaceutical company. Or power line distributions. Or farms.

Private property of social assets produces the profit motive and is the root of all economic exploitation
How about classical physics? For the most part we can use those models with a great degree of success. I would consider this sort of progress to be converging on "settled" whereas we do not have any real model that can be used to predict the outcomes of varying the chemical constituents of a diet, besides the thermodynamics of CICO.
at least the status page is up
Problem is that plenty of those kids will wont have the opportunity to explore that interest since they wont have a computer to access. Even poor homes used to have a computer at home since it was such a useful device, but then they switched to smartphones and having a computer is becoming a class issue again.
My son just had a nitinol plug placed in a small heart defect via a catheter. The mesh deforms to fit in the catheter at ambient temperatures, and then reforms to the plug shape at body temperature. And they’re hand-woven by Peruvian women because of the complexity of the design. Absolutely mind-blowing stuff!
Stgi: A visual STG implementation to understand GHC/Haskell's execution model
A few years ago I had decided that I was going to deactivate my Facebook account. In the process, there was a page that displayed the names and profile pictures of a few of my friends, and told me, explicitly, that each of them would miss me.

"John will miss you."
"Mary will miss you."
"Steve will miss you."
"Greg will miss you."
"Suzy will miss you."

It was so transparently evil that I couldn't believe it.
The literal first sentence is as follows:

So is it the case he only makes $1500 a month? I mean it's none of my business what he makes but he did bring it up and I am curious to know how much a prominent individual like him earns for working on his own open source passion project. I find it commendable that someone would work on their own project for such a low salary owing to a belief and desire to get their product out there.

That said if he makes $15000 a month that's cool too and great for him, but it's not clear to me what the truth here is.
In Germany, all new bikes are required to have lights and bells. This is also why all the good dynamo-powered lights were from Germany for the longest time.

I think this should be adopted here in the US, especially because separated bike lanes from car traffic are rare.

The other electronics you mentioned are nice-to-haves, but nowhere near as critical. At some point the line between a bicycle and scooter/motorcycle starts to blur.
You are very quick to dismiss a completely valid point, people are careful with sharp knives, and for example, generally don't let children use them, they aren't allowed on airplanes etc.

How many people have a similar view of facebook as dangerous?
Windows 7 was the first time I installed a Windows OS and didn't have to custom install a bunch of drivers, it was all just done for me.

I doubt most people, with the exception of builders of custom rigs, even know that a driver is a thing.
Communication is a two-way road. We need to be tactful and mindful of how we're communicating and empathizing with people. Simultaneously we need to work on ourselves so that we don't spontaneously react when we're triggered. When conflict arises, often times more than one person is at fault.
Can't agree more, after spent 3-4 years with nodejs on and off, I am not going to adopt it for any future projects.

a strong 'stdlib' is a must, no other code will pull in who-knows-what packages hundreds of MB at least. Just like javascript is badly design, so does nodejs.
I can sort of see the appeal of getting rid of tiny servos or solenoids but for the front derailleur it has to work super smooth to be part of an auto-shifting system like they talk about. I think other forms of gearing make more sense for auto-shift or e-bikes. I for one wouldn't want the computer to suddenly shift chain rings on me.

Not contending your point that there are folks that don't like the word, but Inuit isn't always a good substitute. Turns out it's quite nuanced and complex so a bit of grace seems warranted towards those that aren't intimately familiar with the situation.
