If these are the killer features you're looking for, the RM is delightful. I've been using mine for over a year, almost every single day. I would love to see the software services flesh out a bit more, but honestly, that's icing on the cake.

It probably lacks the resolution to do it. That said, why do you want that when a 2d printer works fine?
What are you implying? Government fudging birth numbers as well?

It seems plausible. To throw out a hypothesis, if work-from-home/lockdowns started in April/May 2020, people staying home/not going out on weekends might just get busier boinking each other, and even if they didn't want kids, statisically more accidental pregnancies will happen.
I'm happy someone finally did this. I would love it if this were a port of the built-in dev tools from chrome (since this doesn't work on all sites because of security policies). Great work.
Silencer is the marketing name Maxim gave to the suppressors he designed and sold. Its a valid but contentious name for them. The term does get seriously used in the modern day for example, SilencerCo is one of the larger suppressor makers. But you will get people correcting you from time to time because its a misnomer. They don't make a gun silent.

A suppressor does the same thing that a muffler does on a car. It takes what would be an awfully loud noise and makes it bearable. Its a safety device. Are cars stealth and silent? Of course not. Neither are suppressed guns.

But yeah Hollywood quiet is mostly a myth. It is possible to achieve a very quiet gun but you have to take some heavy compromises to do so. Two such guns were developed by the British in WW2 for commandos. The Welrod and Delisle. They have both been featured in media. Some key aspects are the use of sub sonic ammunition, massively oversized suppressors that not only have baffles but also consumable rubber wipes, and also using repeating actions instead of semi auto. They are very quiet by gun standards but even they aren't Hollywood quiet.

There are rumors Harris is to be replaced as VP; she was promised the Presidency, this counts as fulfillment of that, and now she's supposed to shuffle offside politely.

I have doubts: Seems like every administration since Nixon we have some speculation about how a new VP could be appointed but that's a pretty fraught step without extraordinary and compelling circumstances like "the previous office holder died". Sometimes it seems as if there are as many people fantasizing about the joys of an un-elected, appointed chief executive as there are about the joys of rebelling against such an administration... And few on either side have looked at the applicable laws or the history of their use.

I find this line of thinking somewhat short sighted. Animals in the wild will almost certainly die more agonizing deaths than they would at the hands of humans. Would you rather a cannibal kill you with one cut to the throat or would you rather be killed by a polar bear that might even enjoy watching you writhe in pain for 10s of minutes before you ultimately pass out from either the excruciating pain or loss of blood.

This isn't a moral argument for me, it's simply giving a fair comparison as to what the likely choices are for these animals. The choices are not pain from humans or some pain-free experience in nature.

I will say that being boiled alive is likely one of the worst ways to go though - luckily there are nearly painless alternatives to killing lobster that many people employ.
I'm not aware of any software that is not written that way.
I’m waiting on a court case with a fingerprint as key evidence for conviction, in which the defendant brings this up. Might not pass reasonable doubt muster, but what if somebody sold fingerprint forgery kits online that made it push-button simple? Just supply an image or two, run it through some ML to reconstruct the print, laser etch a latex glove or similar…

I wonder if you could use CRISPR or “lab-grown meat” techniques to do the same with DNA evidence…might be something that would get you a contract with the CIA/NSA.
Yeah, ffs, just kill the lobster quickly right before you boil it, and stop whining about how not getting to boil it alive infringes "muh freedumbs".

For me it’s the following:
- going for polymorphic classes instead of a few switches can cause bad coupling of knowledge. (
For example, instead of a switch on what to log in module A and the same for module B, now you’re mixing code from these two modules due to a shared constant.

Sometimes these polymorphic classes make sense, but my experience is that it’s a minority, and it’s better to err on the side of some simple enums.

Also note that Uncle Bob in Clean Code pretty much directly opposes in one of the chapters about logic and data separation (can’t find the chapter right now since I don’t have the book anymore)

To be fair, when it gets installed on a personal, non-developer desktop machine, Docker typically is just another package manager.

> Let's think for a second about what would happen if we did this. Massive amounts of people start dying in the developed world because they get no medical treatment. Most of the productive capacity of the world in terms of creating modern goods is located there, so that plummets. Societies there collapse as people revolt at being denied medical care. The developing countries that were depending on this aid are even worse off than before. Hmm, does that sound like the best way to help the most people? I think not.

And that's exactly the reason why I asked you the follow up question: What is the list of things we should put our resources into then? Because I can guarantee you, that such a list would either lead to chaos, because it can't possibly consider every dependency chain and it wouldn't work with free democracies (like you'd had to forbid parties which care about seemingly less important things), or by the time you or some team of experts found the perfect solution, we could have already solved so many small and big issues.

> Oh you got me. I don't have a comprehensive list of all the important priorities. Whatever it is "lobster suffering" is way, way down on it.

You're acting like a whole country put everything to a side for a year, to figure out how lobsters won't get boiled alive, and due to it more important things got neglected.

But if you can't imagine such list yourself, then what is your solution for a society, which always works for the greater good in the most efficient way possible and who should decide what's the greater good even? Like how would it even work?

I mean people care about seemingly unimportant things, people also like to spend their time how they see fit and vote for the stuff they care about and I can't imagine a system where my local town is not allowed to care about the position of a park bench, because there's slavery going on elsewhere or the same town also has a virus outbreak in a school.

+1. This is a very good and well-rounded response.

I might add that for tech engineering of any type, getting a BS in Computer Science (from a reputable school) is insanely helpful in the long run if there is an interest in going further in your career and it does not lock a person into one particular track.
I can't tell from the page. Does it have support OAuth natively?
Almost bought mine again last week.

I've been using mine almost every day for a year now. A week ago I left it at Home Depot (it had all of my sketches and measurements for the thing I was building) and I despaired of finding it again. I was already planning to drop $500 on a second one without a second thought when it turned up at the customer service counter. Tangible feeling of relief when I got it back in my hands.

Do I hope some of the software support improves? Heck yes, but the writing and reading experience is exceptional and the software is good enough.

I actually did this once when I was 20 or so, and I had absolutely no safety net if things didn't go right.

I'm okay with putting myself on the line, but if you have a family to take care of this is absolutely reckless
I have great respect for your optimism.
I vouched for trasz’ comment but can’t reply to it. Yes, I would say that abortion is an example of what I was referring to. While there is a social-utilitarian aspect to opposition to abortion, the primary motivation is religiously-derived morality. Islam actually has something similar in its belief in the existence of a soul at a certain point in gestation.

The downvotes on my comment are funny because I have no idea if the right or left is upset with it! It’s an uncomfortable topic either way, certainly.

David MacKay's book is great, but it was written in 2009. Just re-reading the part about solar panels from the perspective of 2021 is quite eye-opening. He makes assumptions like 10% efficient panels (panels today are probably 18-22% efficient) and says that the required solar power would be "100 times all the photovoltaics in the whole world". The amount of energy he's talking about - around 1200 TWh - is now only 1.4 times all the photovoltaics in the world. In fact, last year the UK alone generated 11.77 TWh - which is about what the entire world generated in 2009 when the book was written.

His book also doesn't really take into account efficiency savings. For example, his "Cars" section calculates 40kWh/day/person - or 0.8 kWh/km (1.25 km/kWh). An average electric car today might get 3 miles/kWh (4.8km/kWh) - as there's no highly inefficient internal combustion engine involved.

Likewise his heating section doesn't take into account energy saving measures and it doesn't account for heating from heat pumps.

It's also exceedingly unlikely that we'd use solar power in the UK to create fuels for aircraft or ships.

So while David does make a good point (I think the book, overall, is excellent and I recommend it frequently), it also overstates significantly the energy required from renewables in the UK.
OP probably has in mind that you can always go back to your previous employer, or find a job in the hot market.

I worry people keep thinking it will always be hot. I personally have been listening to podcasts of veteran people in the tech world and many lived through the dotcom crash where the "hot market" went all of a sudden cold.

Hot or not, they did live through it and made remarkable things along the way. My advice, make sure you have runway to live off your savings for the duration you initially want and save for 2-3x that. Life is too short to be grinding until retirement, though I imagine paths where if you have a high salary you may hit retirement earlier than other generations.
i certainly do. The Camino has routes from all over Europe and a fantastic set of traditions. The countryside is amazing and ever-varying. I walked sections in September, through Southern France, and at that time, the hostels were full of people with wonderful stories of how they arrived on the trail and what they planned to do next.

This is awesome! Thanks for providing more details (was a bit hard to notice your medium post at first) [0].

For folks here interested in doing this kind of thing (one example is for building web-available IDEs) the other way to run languages in the browser is to find implementations of the language in JavaScript like Brython for Python and there are a few Schemes that come to mind. I wrote a bit about this here [1]. Some people have taken this even further [2, 3] than I did.

And specifically both this OP post and all the links I'm talking about work differently than repl.it does because repl.it has a server where your code runs. Everything I'm talking about runs solely in your browser. Which makes compute free, with a bunch of limitations (io, basically).

I quit my job 3 months ago, in late August. I didn't have a plan but I was feeling pretty burnt out (the work culture was pretty toxic) and a bit depressed so I wanted to take some time off to figure out my next steps. I also have a lot saved up so I knew my financials wouldn't be a problem short-term.

The first month or so was tough. It felt weird not working on something. Which I think is part of a healthy process to get used to not binding my self-worth to my productivity. I traveled a bit, reconnected with friends and did some freelancing. I tried finding enjoyment in programming again, something I felt I'd lost at my last job.

All in all, I'm really happy I quit before things got worse. I still don't have a plan really, but I know I will probably never accept a position as a full-time employee unless I am really passionate about the work and feel I have a lot of impact. I am considering continuing my CS degree (I'm 22). I'm in a pretty fortunate position financially because of some successful side projects, so I've decided to take advantage of that and just keep working for myself. It's what I truly enjoy, and as long as I make a decent living there's no point in earning more money if I'm miserable for it.
Secrecy is only an approximation of difficulty. Given the difficulty, I would estimate it as a two character password. It should be fine for people who have nothing to hide.
I understand that's sometimes the case, as I've been known to interrupt people myself. But in this particular instance I don't think I ever spoke more than 15 seconds without them speaking over the top of me. I later got them to speak about it in a more candid setting, and they confessed that they find most people to be too boring to listen to.
It should be illegal to incentivize consumer people to take loan.

None of this is true. You can easily find dense walkable places to live. You will just pay more money for a much smaller house. Your living expenses will be higher. And you'll have to rely on public transportation which is a pain in the ass when you have small kids.

It's easy to see why people choose the suburbs.
Both are good but somewhat extreme angles on this issue. Look at Tesla for example. You get all the hardware to support self driving but you have to pay a very significant amount to use it.
You can be both upset that you have to pay 20% of car purchase price to unlock that feature (considering model 3 of course)- and understand that Tesla spends lot of expensive R&D time to develop it.
The Algorithm That Lets Particle Physicists Count Higher Than Two
I think whether it's the right or wrong decision is very personal. However, the worst case scenario of quitting with nothing to do is:

1. You have less money
2. You have less upto date skills (perhaps)
3. You will then need to get another job at a later point in time.

If you can budget correctly and you are a passionate learner, I only see 3 as the biggest issue. Even then perhaps that time off gives you perspective and you then get a job that fits you better.

Young Padawan, you've never dealt with IBM and their mainframes...
See, I'm not an american, as I've mentioned before. I can see both points, and this is my view of the situation, that you are free to call hypocritical, yet I wouldn't be able to offer anything better:
Both views are right depending on your vantage point. Yes, criminals as a class/as a whole deserve pity and rehabilitation if they are apprehended by the law. I see no point in just punishing people for extended amount of time, especially because it's proven not to decrease the repeated offense.
If someone's in custody and receives the sentence - yes, give them the rehabilitation and help, let them enjoy the second chance and all that - because that would make people more safe, as opposed to less safe, that's a good outcome.
However, I would also say - do not expect mercy or pity from individuals you're committing a crime against. I don't think it's reasonable to expect someone who's a victim of a crime to offer any sympathy or moral consideration to the criminal in the act, and we should not look down at or punish people using lethal force to prevent a crime. IMO and individual has every right to protect himself in any possible way, as long as it prevents him from becoming a victim. I would never be able to accept that sometimes it's better to let someone commit a crime against you to not victimize them instead.
Can we have both? My opinion is that yes, I see no contradiction here. I don't think we should have the same standards for the justice system and the individual.
