I happen to be from Socal but we built this and the pics were shot in Northern New Mexico where my friend lives and where it is a bit more mild than Socal. That said it does get some hot days with a punishing sun during the summer (may top out around 100f/37c in a heat wave) and we were able to “test” the exterior this past summer in conditions pretty close to that. You can read about it on the website. Just scroll down to the section about the exterior metal: https://www.weshelterpeople.com/materials-and-costs

Important to point out that because of our location it would not need AC in the summer because evenings cool down adequately but if you wanted to use it anywhere in Socal that’s not directly adjacent to the beach you would “need” to have AC. I put the need in quotes because there are plenty of people in Socal who still live without AC, but I don’t think anyone would say those folks are comfortable doing so. It’s mostly a financial issue for anyone inland or as I said they live near the beach where a decent number of house and apartment rentals still don’t have AC.

I don't think any solution to world "hunger" you may be dreaming of would end in any other way than 15 billion people in Africa and more world hunger.
I have mentioned this several times in comments on other threads, and each time my comment was buried under variations of the same argument: the vast majority of people cannot be expected to give up meat, and therefore to help both the environment and their health, and to stop killing animals, we should offer them artificial meat. But I very much doubt that the additional crazy overhead of producing and packing and shipping this artificial meat (which as you said is completely unnecessary, as you can just start eating non-hyper-processed vegetables) will result in a net benefit for the planet, or for your personal health.

Another thing that concerns me is the centralization aspect. It is still fairly easy to buy meat coming from your local butcher / local animals. Looking at the ingredients of some of this artificial meat, I fail to see how it should be produced by a local shop. You need a supply chain, and possibly special machinery. This may only be carried out by large companies.

From 1943 Switzerland stopped American and British aircraft, mainly bombers, overflying Switzerland during the Second World War. On numerous occasions during the war, Allied aircraft trespassed on Swiss airspace; mostly damaged Allied bombers returning from raids over Italy and Germany whose crews preferred internment by the Swiss to becoming prisoners of war. Over a hundred Allied aircraft crews were interned and placed in ski resorts which were left abandoned due to the lack of tourists after the outbreak of war. They were to be held in there until the war had ended.[20] At least 940 American airmen attempted to escape into France after the invasion of Normandy, but Swiss authorities intercepted 183 internees. Over 160 of these airmen were incarcerated in a Swiss prison camp known as Wauwilermoos, which was located near Lucerne and commanded by André Béguin, a pro-Nazi Swiss officer. The American internees remained in Wauwilermoos until November 1944 when the U.S. State Department lodged protests against the Swiss government and eventually secured their release.

sure, my reply to OP was an experience report too, where I feel confused that people are still struggling with topics I've almost never experienced since after switching to Nix. They suggest it's a fault on GHC side, I suggest it's not a fault on GHC side, as there's already a solution implemented on another level of dev tooling that covers the mentioned issues (bootstrapping, discoverability, (re-)compilation times, binary sizes) for GHC in a true generic Unix way.

> There's absolutely no reason to stop eating meat

Are you sure you see absolutely no reason to stop eating meat? You may need to read the parent comment again, a few are cited, including the "need to kill billions of animals every year" you didn't address.

Whether those reasons are sufficient to stop eating meat is a separate matter.

> You are arguing based on the assumption that capitalism is the essence of life and nothing can be done without it.

No, I'm arguing based on the assumption that a LOT of countries ARE capitalistic. And recognizing that fact and designing things to work within that framework is a reasonable approach.

> if we lived in a fair society everyone would be well-off no matter what imaginary numbers (money and markets) have decided for them today.

But we don't. And we never will. Period. Full stop. Human nature doesn't work that way. I can't even see a way that you can argue that it does with a straight face. Even if there were no bad people (and there will always be bad people), there's always luck/randomness coming into play. Life is not an can not be fair. The best we can hope for it to make it as far as we can, and mitigate the cases where it isn't.
I have never used a data grid control that didn't end up with me having to dig deep into the code to add something custom that I needed, and just hit brick wall after brick wall. Especially React-based ones.

We don't need big libraries, we need to mix smaller libraries together that each do one thing well.

Like starting with a tutorial of how to build a data grid from scratch with suggestions of utilities to add along the way. Most people would avoid this because they see a library that does most of what they want and get a FOMO...but if they could only see the hours they will lose trying to customize it, they would have preferred to start from scratch. This has been such a constant experience for me with almost every framework/library in tech.
Because this is the most general signature possible (in general syscalls can have up to 6 arguments because the kernel supports x86-32 which has only 8 general purpose registers of which one stores the syscall number, one the stack pointer which cannot be reused due to signals in case of no sigaltstack, and the remaining 6 are available).

Depending on option, the args can be pointers to structure.

That’s not accurate. Trademark law does require active policing and enforcement, and failure to enforce a trademark can be grounds for losing it.

Yes, big corps probably are more aggressive than the law requires, but it’s a pretty fuzzy, not super well defined, line.

Mastodon has also banned Gab and others from the network that they disagree with. The whole point of a federated system is free speech... yet they have spent a lot of time trying to kick out people who disagree with them.

Frankly, it’s disheartening I want to know what the communists, fascists, republicans, democrats, racists, religious, technocrats, etc want to say.

It’s so frustrating having everyone in bubbles and getting banned for speaking about topics. The most calls for hate and violence I’ve seen are on Twitter and not from the right lol...
We evolved to do a lot of things we no longer tolerate, and we have invented many things that do better than evolution.

Some blame lies at the feet of CEO's. Some at the feet of the government.

When large corporations fail, they socialize their failures by getting bailouts from the government. There are never bailouts for individuals. Whenever a corporation has extra capital, they do things like buy back stock, rarely ever give it to employees, it simply isn't profitable for them to do so. These are choices a CEO makes in running their company.

The government allows for a bit much capitalism when it comes to health care, in my opinion. The added costs for health care are commonly thrust onto all employees, those at the bottom of the pay scale are impacted the most because they make the least. An out of pocket health care expense for a CEO is a rounding error but can be financially devastating to the lowest paid person that has coverage.

I get that they are different jobs. For example if there were a software error in a JD tractor that caused many deaths (i.e. some safety feature fails) its more likely a CEO/CxO would have to step down for mis-managing something than a bunch of factory workers.

In general, the pay differences are really out of whack though.
> ...and the moment someone invents artificial meat everybody loses their fucking mind and munch on it like strawberries.

This is not exclusively a bad thing as is implied. For some it will be their endgame, but for others it will be a transition. In our household veggie "burgers" are more common than fake/alt meats. But fake meats have largely displaced the real thing. For example a commonly requested menu item is buffalo chicken dip. The family simply refers to it as "fake chicken dip" and that's been normalized over the last few years.

We've transitioned from smoking, grilling, sous vide and other methods of traditional meat cooking multiple times a week to a request once or twice a month for real bacon and around the holidays a brined and smoked turkey breast. Fish is another story, nobody's giving up sushi anytime soon. But overall we enjoy it, and it's a net positive in many other ways.

We've served other family members homemade burgers (not preformed) using off the shelf alt "hamburger meat" and they've taken to making them in their homes after enjoying them. In many ways there's not much health gain currently, but - again it's a great transitory step for many.
If the government were to take a hard line on this, then publishing on github for anyone to deploy would work. It's easy to verify that the compiled contract matches published source code.

But the Bernstein case was about PGP, and after the decision people had no trouble with using it, making compiled code available for download, etc.

There is no help for problems such as how the main developers seriously thought it was fine to have a user account own a shared system directory for many years, until Apple finally just took control over that at the OS level and forced them to figure out some marginally less borken arrangement.

Macports is a tougher sell for an average user today simply because the disparity in popularity means macports library is smaller and older. But macports is engineered more correctly.
Nope. Foundation was first published in 1942, and is something of an alternate take on the Space Opera w Evil Empire genre, which came earlier, with the first prominent example being E.E. "Doc" Smith's Galactic Patrol in 1934. Smith previously wrote the Skylark series of space opera stories, first published in 1928.

And while not identical, Smith's Lensmen and Lucas' Jedi Knights have a great deal in common.

> I'm working on the side on creating a company and those opinions lead me to choose the harder path of desktop applications which don't need Internet connection for anything that doesn't require it by definition. They're more resilient and comfortable to use. I'll probably fail, but I really can't make any other choice at the moment, I need to at least try and see for myself.

Very refreshing, I really appreciate that choice. As humans in tech I'm sure it's frustrating that everything requires accounts and constantly online services, since we can imagine the software working perfectly fine without it. Games are especially nefarious with account requirements, but even different work software will fail without an account. Using a modern 3D art authoring pipeline can easily have you logged in to two or three services while you work.

A college friend of mine intends to pursue a PhD in Chemistry once he retires (soon). I was accepted back in the early 80's but instead spent 4 decades doing programming. I decided to do art instead of going back to school. Sometimes I wish I had actually gotten the doctorate, but not enough to start over again.
Douglas Crockford’s “Don’t use this software for evil” clause has already gone down that road.

When the media refused to cover Hunter Biden’s laptop, it probably swung the election (polls show up to 6% of Biden’s voters would have voted for someone else). No doubt this company wouldn’t think that or other known misinformation campaigns like the thoroughly debunked Russia-gate would be manipulating public opinions though in hindsight we know the story was fabricated by certain operatives specifically to alter public perception.

Like many Democrats today, Democrat Robert E Lee believed black people should be free, but they weren’t able to take care of themselves in “white society”. Is the patronizing “you can’t get anything in life unless white people give it to you” any less racist? Yet again, I’d bet many in that company would embrace that idea as beneficial to marginalized communities.

The fact is that black/white separatists (racists) with their racial “safe space” ideas believe they are helping marginalized communities by bringing back “separate but equal”.

Consider when Twitter banned someone for misinformation when they said mandates and booster shots were coming. Now we know that is true. Most of Twitter argued at the time that this wasn’t repressing rights because it was obviously misinformation. Once again, we know it was accurate.

Along those lines, Facebook didn’t (to my knowledge) start out collecting information with the intent of being evil. From their perspective, they’re still doing good (as Obi-Wan would say “From a certain point of view”)

Finally, weapons software applies to government contracts. If they need your software or patents for their purposes, they can just take them.

As this shows, these types of vague moral licenses have no purpose other than legally muddying the waters and giving the authors a false sense of having done the right thing.

Given how these licenses will restrict who works on or uses their stuff, it can be argued that this will adversely affect those minority groups by restricting access and use of the software and thus the software creators will violate their own license.

I make these arguments to show how full of holes such clauses really are.

TL;DR moral licenses are full of holes and legally very stupid. They can even potentially be weapons by the exact opposite side politically.

My experience is that a lot of these features are more easily implemented than the time taken to handle the edge cases of using existing libraries, getting them to work with your UI framework (React/Angular), and getting them to work with your data service layer.
It's such a silly Americanized view. With they would leave that crap out of everything they touch and just write software.
Is it? There was a lot of space opera and space adventure and space imperialism in the 1940s and 50s. Claiming to be the original is a big claim.

Mind you, Lucas cribbed from everything in sight; samurai movies (Hidden Fortress), Westerns, war films (the trench run is from 633 Squadron). Partly why it was so successful.

I'm sorry but what part was a lie? Russians did hack the DNC, sparing the RNC. They did coordinate with Trump associate Roger Stone in the distribution of the materials, and Stone informed Trump of this. Trump's campaign did meet with a Russian spy at Trump's residence to discuss a quid pro quo deal in which dirt on Clinton was exchanged for relaxed foreign relations, both of which did materialize from the respective parties. Trump did solicit help from Russian hackers to attack Hillary Clinton, an attack which did materialize according to investigators.

And to top it all off, Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort, who was deep in debt to a Russian oligarch (Deripaska) yet working pro bono for Trump (a billionaire), was caught giving internal campaign polling data to a Russian intelligence officer (Kilimnik) working directly for Deripaska, which was then used to target the social media psyops campaign by the GRU.

This is exactly the collusion many said occurred during the 2016 election, and just because it took 5 years to prove doesn't mean we were wrong in 2016 when we pointed out what was obvious to us. Yes some took it too far and said Trump was a literal agent of Russia, but the effect is really the same agent or not - the Trump campaign was working hand-in-hand with Russia to get him elected over Clinton. They were coordinating in public and private, sharing data, making deals, and following through on those deals, and they all lied about all of it at every opportunity (establishes consciousness of guilt). Collusion.

These are all facts laid out in the Mueller Report Vol I [1], the Senate Intel report on Russian Active Measures (especially Vol V) [2], and the US Treasury Department [3]. Calling all of this a "lie" at this point feel like memory holing.

> Restricting software use to only people approved by the creators is a terrible idea.

Everyone is free to use the software. If a project is found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct (e.g. discriminating against marginalized communities, manipulating public opinion, automating weapons) than the community developing the software takes steps to remedy the problem with the reported violator, or the project falls out of compliance with the license.

I agree with your hesitance and apprehension of how it could could go wrong. There is significant responsibility in interpretation and governance, presumably (though in some cases, it could be pretty clear — like with weapons.). And in cases with consequences related to violence and weapons and oppression, it also seems like a step in the right direction.

In the context of some software, this may not fit or be useful. In other libraries, it could also be incredibly important and impactful.

It also requires stepping out of our innocence. It requires accepting responsibility for interpretation, decision-making, and governance — and that sometimes, some of our decisions may not be right. Sometimes, we have to make decisions even when the answers aren't clear. This is part of our personal lives, being in families, being in communities, being in companies. It's just decision-making at the end of the day — call it what you want (e.g. governance, licensing, restricting). Why shouldn't that kind of decisionmaking and responsibility be part of software and the communities building software — especially given its growing impact on the world around us?

> Society has to operate with some level of trust that even people we disagree with

This is well said. I would just note that ml5.js's approach leaves room for disagreement, and a pathway to hear and understand and reconcile disagreement, before any action is taken. The devil is in implementation — though it does seem wise, and the community has likely thought through and accounted for more of the problems than we have. They probably had discussions just like this, actually, with perspectives just like ours.
