This is a bit circular, but...it doesn't work because others will use VC. Those using VC will make more progress because they wont be hindered by side gigs to bootstrap the company. If they have good metrics, they will also have access to growth capital which can either out-fund or flat out smother unfunded competitors.

How do I know? I raised some funding for our startup (3yrs full-time) but bootstrapping further was unsustainable vs competitors who were fundraising. VC funded competitors could hire more, sell more, compensate more. The market becomes skewed.

Is it good for the VC-backed competitors? Sort of. They survive. They have longer stories. But they get diluted. Many die as they try to swing for the fences (as VCs want, power law and all...) Some get fired by VC-dominated boards. Some are sent on wild goose chases by outsider funders. This probably happens less-so with better VCs.

> Domestic abuse is a real problem, but false allegation of domestic abuse is a real problem, too.

200% correct! There are a lot of conniving folks out there who use the system to falsely claim victim hood of domestic abuse. This typically leads to more undesired outcomes than originally anticipated.
This is the first thing I thought of. This is a very creative and resourceful individual.

To be fair I would be one of those people (am fairly young too) who thinks the word genius/brilliant is thrown around for way too many cases that it isn't accurate to the point that it is losing its impact. People are diluting language through hyperbole or lack of intentional use imho.

It could also be that too many people this kind of thinking is so foreign that it seems like genius/brilliance. I guess it could all be relative. A genius to the general public might be different from say a genius to a group of nuclear physicists.
No, seriously, there is absolutely no comparison between the number of Perl 5 and JavaScript developers.

https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020

Most popular technologies:

JavaScript: 67.7% for all devs, 69.7% for pro devs): First place!

Perl: 3.1% for all devs, 3.3% with pro devs: Third from last place, only a wee bit more popular than Haskel and Julia!

And you can take a guess at how many jobs for Haskel and Julia programmers there are.

And it's not like good Perl 5 programmers are dropping dead, or being hit by busses: They're simply moving on to better, more popular, well supported, widely taught, more modern, higher paying, more pleasurable languages!

Any programmer who permanently sticks to only one language and has "no interest in learning yet another programming language" simply isn't a good programmer, no matter what their only language is.

Any decent professional programmer (ESPECIALLY web developers) should have no trouble picking up and applying new languages, and regularly using multiple languages together at the same time every day. The world is not partitions into mono-linguistic silos, and no one language is good for everything.

If those monolinguistic Perl 5 developers b20000 speaks of who refuse to use any other languages are the only ones left for BooKing.com to hire, then it's no wonder they have enormous security holes and terrible buggy hard-to-maintain code.

I think you can both say you'd rather live in the US, and at the same time our intelligence agencies do just as much (if not more) damage worldwide. For example if you live in South America the US is a much bigger risk to you than other countries because they overthrow any govt they don't agree with, regardless of what the people of the country want. Russian spying doesn't seem to result in much damage as far as I can tell, while US spying is regularly used to undermine democracy.

If the motto of a country was "we'll keep you safe inside but we'll be treating everyone outside terribly", then you'd definitely rather live inside that country, but it doesn't mean they're less of a risk to the world.

For every newspaper article that covers actual US espionage, I can show you ten that speculate on the potential of espionage by Huawei and other Chinese companies.

I think we in western europe are kind of embarrased by US surveillance and the fact that we cannot do anything about it.

That is why we try to ignore it and not talk about it.

Yes, spaces in filenames introduce edge cases and bugs that people are not always aware of.

E.g. Here's a random StackOverflow q&a about a Git pre-commit hook where the top-voted answer does not properly handle filenames with spaces : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2412450/git-pre-commit-h...

However, the 2nd and 3rd most upvoted answers do mention "-z" option to handle spaces.:

Man, I really feel for people who struggle with Git. I should know - I was one of them many years ago.

Many day-to-day problems with Git all have something in common which is that the user has got their repo in to some state they do not understand. And most times (as comments have mentioned) they don't even know what they did to get themselves in their current pickle.

The quickest path to resolution is usually a hard reset to the server version of the branch then restore the commit(s) that user had made.

If you have pending changes then handle those first. It doesn't matter much what they are just commit or stash. If committing don't even think about the message just use `wip commit`. Finally, note every commit id that has your work you want to keep around. Might be 1, 5 or 20 commits.

Okay, now hard reset.

`git reset --hard <remote_name>/<branch_name>`

Great, now you're at an acceptable state.

Finally, restore your previous commits use cherry-pick or `git stash apply` to get your stuff modified.

If cherry pick then it's `git cherry-pick <sha_oldest> <sha_next_oldest> ....`

On to the next problem...

I tried using Thunderbird a few times because that's what real tech people use. It's just not as good as Gmail in my browser.

I'll repent later.
Progress bars are inherently difficult to create since you need to predict the future to provide an accurate status on progress.

Let's just consider what would factor into an accurate status bar. Gmail would need to know in advance:

1. the total payload size (which is different for everyone since some might have locally cached assets and everyones inbox size is different)

2. would need to know # of assets to be downloaded by the user (since # of assets, not just file size, affects load time)

3. how fast your computer will render the webpage (different processors, browsers, versions, etc all affect load time)

4. how fast is your internet connection and pack loss (more pack loss on mobile networks, etc)

5. is there any blocking content on the page that will affect delaying "first paint". (Why things like Lighthouse exists)

And many more factors.

This is unneeded complexity when instead, you can just display an animation to distract the user while the page loads.

This is 100% a K.I.S.S.
Orion is being qualified for faster reentry. Dragon currently only qualified for LEO reentry. But they both use ablative heatshields which scale in a straightforward way to higher speed reentries.

Orion also has more propellant, more delta-v, so it has more post-separation maneuvering capability. Dragon would need either expanded tanks on board or maybe some extra propulsion capability in the trunk or perhaps docking with a small propulsion module (think like how the Apollo command module docked with the LM in Apollo 13 and used that for maneuvering delta-v).

Neither of those things are huge. There are a few other things that are relatively minor, like shielding (literally just mass of plastic, very little engineering involved) and extra consumables for longer free flight mission and getting Falcon Heavy fully up to Falcon 9 human rating standards (pretty straightforward as it’s almost identical to Falcon 9 but with 2 side boosters).

You could test those things on an uncrewed test flight fairly cheaply. In some ways, it’d be safer than Orion/SLS as the vehicle and spacecraft have a lot more flight history already.

Microsoft is in full control of the Windows kernel, so they can make it care about whatever they want to, and one would think better argument passing would be a nice quality of life improvement. Less nonsense for developers to deal with, and less weird bugs on the platform.
> Investing in PayPal.. C'mon Forbes he made the Business.

He made the business sink....so much that the board had to fire him and install Thiel instead, who did the only sensible thing: clear the deck, secure the hatches, give it a paintjob and offload the sinking ship to a bigger fool.

Musk entire carrer up to this point has been about offloading overpriced and overhyped equity to bigger fools.

Other guys at the top of the Forbes list such as Gates, Bezos, Larry&Sergey, Zuckerberg...you can't turn your head without seeing the logo of the company they founded.

With Musk, he's a specialist of techno-utopianism and promising about his company becoming as ubiquitous as the other FAAMGs, but it's always 5 years away.

Guy is 50, has been doing this for 30 years and I never used a product or a service of a company he was at the helm of, and I am not exactly a subsaharan farmer. The closest was when I was paired with an Uber driver who had a Tesla S but he deleted the trip.

It's all about promises, hype and financial engineering to pump the stock so that he can take loans to finance his lifestyle.

20 years from now a whole bunch of people will look so stupid for believing this guy, it's like one of those MLM scams on a global basis.

- Compute module, even if as optional, to allow container installation and Edge processing, possibly also ML with GPU add ons
I watched this live. This is a standard objection in any criminal proceeding when digital evidence is introduced. The defense admitted he doesn’t know what he’s talking about (he kept saying “logarithm” when he meant “algorithm”) but asserted a well established precedent that requires digital evidence be accompanied by affidavits of its authenticity, especially in a context where it is being enhanced (magnification is enhancement). What I don’t like about this coverage is that it ignores the much more salient fact that the prosecution has utterly collapsed in the last two days. The prosecution witnesses have explicitly endorsed Kyle’s self defense theory and the prosecution has obviously acted in bad faith since.

Perhaps youtube is the wrong medium for a lot of things and dislikes may not be the best way to express that.

Youtube is borderline stupid right now for most channels that don't have organic growth... what they should do is re-open monetization and live streaming to everyone as its creating its own hell hole if you ask me with the 9 minutes of smash the like button and 1 minute of content we're seeing on every channel that isn't organically growing or making money through other means.

Musks idea of leadership can be explained in one sentence:

Yes, I've also read The Bell Curve. I'm not sure what any of this has to do with designing an education system. Lots of kids aren't going to be professional athletes, but they still manage to have fun kicking a ball around. The same is not true in mathematics, for instance.

Of course there should be a small part of the education system capable of identifying and guiding the geniuses... but it should be in the context of helping every student identify their internal motivation... which is really the only way to instill the critical thinking skills everyone seems so keen on.
What's funny is I avoided a lot of content i feel in love with because of when TV and netflix had like or stars or dislike buttons.

I’m not in those circles but I suspect many in management are not trained that “loyalty” is a two-way dynamic. Honestly I don’t think it’s all about compensation either, that’s a signal. I.E. the company is willing to invest in me. I once worked at a large company where the pay was average but they had an extremely healthy company culture to where I truly believed that the company cared about its employees and community. As a result most people there were happy and were (or were on track to become) lifers. The culture wasn’t for me but it was interesting to see that sometimes compensation is not everything with the right culture. However if the relationship is “transactional” then compensation becomes everything.
Depends on how you define "government". I think that with a little imagination you could figure out how to set up some system of mutual rules and decision making that didn't involve dramatic imbalances of power. After all "anarchy" means "no rulers" not "no rules".
Totally agree with this comment. This sort of "no-lock-in" thinking is exactly what inspired Mito [1] (I'm a co-founder, FYI).

Mito is low-code data analysis tool inspired by spreadsheets. When you edit the spreadsheet, Mito generates Python code directly into your Jupyter lab notebook.

The benefit here is that there's no lock in. If Mito support the action the user wants to take, they can use Mito for a quick point-and-click experience. If not, they can just write Python code as they normally do!

I've been a forums member since 2006. The SA forums are my home on the Internet. It's definitely had its ups-and-downs, as you describe. But the forums have taken me through all of my major hobbies and interests, from video games and Internet culture, to cars, to music, to guitar. I've even made real-life friendships there. I think over the past few years, and especially since the ownership transition last year, the forums have been in a bit of a golden age. Even if you've been turned off by historical decisions, I'd really strongly suggest joining and tuning in to some of the subforums that are related to your interests. It's a really great set of communities, and overall is actually a really welcoming and progressive community, especially compared to the lowest-common-denominator free-for-all that current ad-based social media promotes.
