I wonder if the phone lines are still compatible with data modems nowadays, or if they're all Voice over IP.

If they're Voice (and other noises) over IP, then the modem would be encoding IP packets to tones, and as soon as it reaches the phone provider's hardware the tones will be digitized to be transmitted over IP packets again...

Yeah, this was made by the team behind ionic...which has a long history Of trying to twist words in their favor and sell their framework.

Personally,it's just Cordova in a different suit and isn't remotely related to what native means on mobile. The entire reason they are selling their framework so hard is under the enterprise tab in the menu.

How many people participate? Doesn’t seem like it would scale outside a small group. Once you get past that size, it becomes a clique and thus corrosive to team building. A small group will have a wonderful time, everyone else will resent them. The company will then crumble or become something different entirely

The most disturbing and dystopian announcement humanity ever witnessed.

While the eastern wisdom suggests that we sit down, clear our heads, and connect with our bodies, here we are at the opposite extreme where your senses are completely immersed in an environment managed by a company that did everything to maximize profit and increase addiction.

Human body exists in the physical world, not in a second life. They need to thrive in that world not into some "metaverse". People already glued to their phones, next, they are completely helpless, connected to a headset in a fantasy world, dysfunctional in the real one. Beside what exactly is this adding to people's life? internet is already connecting people thoughts and ideas, perhaps the effort they put to see each other in real life is worth it.

No thank you. And that is not a vision I would like to pass for the coming generation either.
That's circular reasoning. We're here so it must have happened in this specific way therefore it happened.

Sure, an expertly guided experiment in a glass tube can make some basic amino acids but they had to be removed from the experiment immediately before the the product was ruined by further reactions. It was a guided process which we've got no further in accounting for in the wild.

We've made no progress since these experiments to answering the questions posted by the theory of abiogenesis.

We've got no concrete answers, only suppositions.

This is not a popular thing to talk about but the fact remains that we are absolutely nowhere close to solving this in the manner in which we are proceeding in OoL studies. The track record for uncondendable conjecture is abysmal.
This reads very much like a “kids these days!” Complaint lodged against the next generation since time immemorial. Sure, some parasocial relationships can be harmful, and video game addiction is something to watch out for (though I’m not sure why you singled out Minecraft and Roblox specifically, they’re just fun creative games), but there’s nothing preventing a healthy balance of screen time, activities, and outdoor time with a bit of parental guidance.
> At the end of the 19th century, anarchist thinkers predicted with modern techniques we'd be down to 10h weekly work.

Many people in the US could easily have 10h work week, if they could just reign in their creeping lifestyle inflation and live like people did at the end of 19th century.

Instead, most people opt to work more in exchange for significantly more comfort and pleasure. It's an unconscious choice for most - they can't even fathom living beyond a certain standard, so they in essence HAVE TO work fulltime. But the option to work less is there, they just don't realize it is.

> It’s not as if functional programming is newer or untested.

It's not about maturity. It's about suitability for the purpose.

FP is probably not ever going to be easier to use, but it is safer, and can be used to safely implement algorithms of greater complexity than other paradigms.

It needs to be coupled with a reactive, event-driven system (that has state, but the state can be hidden in end nodes or a model), in order to deliver a great UX; which, at the end of the day, is what this is all about.

You can't have UX without state. It's all about where the state is maintained, and how many copies of it need to be made, as the program executes.

For example, say we have a checkbox that reflects/controls the state of a variable in our calculation. The on/off state is important. If it is on, let's say that we will introduce a compensating coefficient. If it is off, that coefficient is not applied to the function.

The state is not a part of the function, so it doesn't make sense to incorporate it (or even knowledge of the existence of that state) into the function.

Nevertheless, it is a crucial component of the user experience, and needs to be maintained somewhere.

The best bet may be to try to keep the state in the checkbox object, itself, and query it at runtime, or use a messaging system to be informed of state changes. I've always found a central model to be annoying. If the UX is at all complex, the model can get crazy, and turn into a richly productive bug farm.

Federated/franchised state can have its own issues, like when there's a lot of interaction/dependency between state nodes. That can get crazy, too, and difficult to debug.

So far, no one has come up with a perfect pattern, but I kind of like the idea of a "composer" pattern, that queries federated states, and "weaves" them together, at runtime, as opposed to a model that sends directives out to a set of nodes.

The issue that lots of folks have with OO, is polymorphism. That is not really the same thing. It can make discovering an algorithm difficult, as functionality can cascade through a whole bunch of levels, and debugging can be a real pain in the butt. If anyone has had sticky CSS specificity issues, they have an idea of what it can be like to grope around in a polymorphic codebase.

Protocol-oriented programming is not a panacea, either. This is especially true, when mixed with polymorphism. I wrote about a strange issue I encountered, here[0].

But polymorphism isn't bad. It's just a tool, and we don't use a nailgun as a hammer. Like so many tools, people have tried to shoehorn it into unsuitable configurations, and refuse to consider other, more suitable tools. I see FP proponents, doing the same thing.

Swift is nice, because it has a rich toolbox, allowing us to select the right tool, for the right job, without having to do complex linking games between libraries of different languages.

Wrong. London (and basically every other large city) has decoupled supply and demand by using zoning restrictions. It's really frustrating that voters can't see that fact, though.
Every time a holier-than-thou architectural magazine waxes poetic about the beauty of "poor forgotten brutalism", they make their point by showing extremely well-cropped, always black and white, high contrast images to make the shadows pop. And then say wow isn't it a shame we're tearing these down?

It's because that's not what crumbling Soviet-era buildings look like. Sure they're fun to photograph. I've seen these buildings from Prague to Prizren and they are categorically awful, as most others agree. Concrete doesn't aesthetically age well. Preserve one or two for historical importance and raze the rest.

It's fair to open dialogue about the importance of preserving historical buildings even if most people think they're ugly. After all, we've committed countless "mistakes" in the past when taste has changed (Penn Station anyone?).

But the least we can do is start with some honest photography.

I think the techie fixation with "better desk" as the goal may turn out to be the "faster horses" of VR.

I’m not sure that it’s as simple as that. If you think about the sample metro areas in tfa you see sources of high income potential as corporate headquarters and high paying jobs are centered around those metros. That in effect creates high demand for housing and thereby drives up housing prices.

The increase in housing price is probably a derivative of shifting or shrinking opportunity to earn a high income outside of centers of commerce and population growth x scarcity in metros. The rise in home prices is just a premium on income opportunity.
The reason to switch to Linux is that it keeps getting better, not that the alternatives keep getting worse.

> How can someone sell the gas rights for just $1...Is there a tax involved when someone extracts resources?

I don't know anything about South African law, but in my home (Alaska) these rights are typically put up for public auction, and yes, there is a further "severance tax" levied on any production that may eventually occur. The (relatively low) auction price is just to lock in exclusivity, generally for a limited length of time. One reason that the initial leases are low is that the actual amount of gas or oil on the property is generally unknown until you get out there and start drilling holes, or at least doing some seismic mapping.

If you find oil or gas and wind up producing it, you then have to pay taxes on that, but if there's nothing there, you haven't wasted your money.

Not all states have a severance tax, though.
Steve Jobs said cities would be designed for it... Jeff Bezos said everybody would have one...
Lack of empathy abounds among programmers writing user-facing software. I am increasingly convinced lack of empathy is over-represented among developers. It's a controversial thought, and feel free to shoot it down.

But why the lack of empathy? Is it because developers are more comfortable with computers than with people? This is a common stereotype about programmers. Perhaps it has more than a hint of truth to it?

Examples of abrasive behaviour in developer circles are too numerous to list (from real life and online).

It's not just a lack of empathy towards fellow developers, lack of empathy is even more marked when applied to "non-technical" users who are often patronisingly viewed as clueless idiots (and a source of irritation for developers).

So many UIs (visual and non-visual) and interactions are badly designed by developers who show no empathy toward users struggling to complete tasks. If you can't use the software you're considered a clueless and annoying 'newbie'. (How dare you suggest I 'dumb down' the interface to accommodate your cluelessness).

RTFM? (Read The Fucking Manual) Even this patronising acronym speaks volumes about the sneering attitude among many developers towards other developers and users. (Never mind the fact that in most cases the manual doesn't exist or is so poorly written as to be useless.)
The movie is missing so much of the detail that made the book great, though. I agree, incomparable, really.

IMO, the best movies are NOT adaptations.

I've been on Manjaro with Gnome for the past year on my Dell xps 9310. The experience is near perfect. Wayland and Gnome 40's multi-touch realtime gestures closed the gap for me. I wouldn't use a Mac or Windows laptop if they were given to me for free, because I consider the experience inferior at this point.
I don't think that's true these days. While we may not have that much more free time compared to our ancestors, we have access to way more things. There are wealth of free knowledge online, wealth of free tools to do digital painting, digital music and things like that. There are also more forms of art and expression than before. Art has never been so democratized.

But living from your art is still hard, because you need an audiance. It's always easier to find someone that needs you first and then work for him (getting a "regular" job) than producing something for a public that you don't yet have.

There's also the fact that lots of artists don't seem to want to do "things that don't scale" (in reference to http://paulgraham.com/ds.html). For example, I have a few friends that want to work in the film industry. A minority of them do things like film clips for not well known rappers, take pictures at weddings, stuff like that. The majority just try to make a film. The first group can get more experience this way, meet professionals, get connections, see if that fields is really what they like. The second can't, and don't even make money.

Statistically, I hate totalitarianism more than the next guy, but these buildings don't really embody evil to me, for the most part. They embody the necessary concomitant of evil, power, and broadcast it, which suggests totalitarianism in some cases but not in others. In some of these cases it's appropriate. A bank, for example, wants to project an image of invulnerability; a bridge, likewise, doesn't have to be friendly-looking or inviting, but needs to look like it can ignore traffic, storms, bombs, or whatever else is thrown at it. And for a power station a powerful appearance is obvious. Not all power is a boot to the face.

A lot of these buildings look like they're designed with an aesthetic appropriate to their function, which I think is a good principle for architecture in general.

As client radio I use a cheap rtl8812au-based single-antenna Wi-Fi USB stick by Piaek with a ALFA APA-M05 7dBi antenna, and as access point I use the on-board radio of the RPi in master mode. I use iptables to set up NAT (masquerading), optionally via an OpenVPN tunnel. It can be an odyssey finding a cheap Wi-Fi stick for which there are good drivers available (Amazon reviews and answers do help), let alone one that can be run in master mode, and you often have to compile the drivers yourself, in my case (Arch Linux ARM) I need to pull the dkms package from AUR, change the PKGBUILD to build for Pi and it builds awfully slowly (around 1 hour).

As for long-range antennas, you can check out Yagi's or Cantenna, also very nice DIY projects. The longest range can be achieved by dishes. Though check your countries dBi limit that is allowed to be emitted in any direction and then reduce your tx power to stay below that. The directivity will still help reducing interference from other directions. I like the APA-M05 for its compactness.

For the cooling, I use DHT22s and simply run a bunch of fans via a PWM-driven MOSFET, directly from the Pi, roughly following the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ32CMxliCQ

A building code change that requires old buildings to be brought up to current code would not run afoul of the prohibition on ex post facto laws as long as any penalties for not complying only apply to non-compliance that occurs after the law is enacted.

Here are a couple examples showing both an ex post facto change and a non-ex post facto change.

Example 1: The building code is changed to say that all electrical outlets installed in kitchens must be installed with GFCI protection. Your non-GFCI kitchen outlets were installed before this change. In this case fining you for not having GFCI outlets probably would violate the ex post facto law prohibition because you are being fined for something that occurred before the new law--the installation of non-GFCI outlets.

Example 2: The building code is changed to prohibit non-GFCI outlets in kitchens. Your non-GFCI kitchen outlets were installed before this change. Fining you for having non-GFCI outlets would probably not violate the ex post facto law prohibition because you are being fined for something that is happening after the law--having non-GFCI outlets in your kitchen.

(This is all assuming that fines for building code violations are punitive. The prohibition against ex post facto laws in the US generally only applies to changes that increase punitive aspects of laws).

A whole article discussing housing costs and no mention of how interest rates falling for 40 years has contributed to this.

Inflation adjusted the monthly payment for a home is about what it was 40 years ago in most places. Jack interest rates up to 10% and suddenly everything will look cheap and those income to price ratios will drop, but the monthly payment will be the same.

If cost of living is 1/3rd then your 120k savings just got you a whole bunch of slack.
