All in all, open sourcing a thing means taking responsibility for it. You're making a statement that the thing will be available, updated, and real.

I don't think it has to be this way. I think it's perfectly fine to say, "Sorry, I don't have time to maintain this project, if you want to fork it, be my guest." That is the beauty of open-source. Unlike proprietary code, I at least have the possibility of diagnosing and fixing the problem myself, with or without the maintainer's cooperation.
I'm a little confused by that article, to be honest. The Science paper they link seems to confirm that travel restrictions can have effect. Eg, from the abstract: " The travel quarantine of Wuhan delayed the overall epidemic progression by only 3 to 5 days in mainland China but had a more marked effect on the international scale, where case importations were reduced by nearly 80% until mid-February."

My impression is that travel restrictions aren't a panacea, but can reduce or delay spread. (Whether or not they're appropriate with Omicron in particular seems to be a slightly different issue).

>I find comments like this interesting - what is so implausible about this? It’s just a bit of radio chatter, nothing amazing happens, just a funny anecdote that a pilot tells when speaking to an audience.

The original story has an SR71, Navy F18, multiple general aviation on the same frequency. This doesn't happen and won't happen. The military has their own frequencies, their own ifr paths, and their own air traffic control.

That's not to say the military planes cant go to GA frequencies but the story is entirely false.
I know and I've done this, but the writing is on the wall.. It may disappear at some point and that just annoys me because it's really valuable IMO. It makes me unsure if I want to keep using it when that happens. If they aren't planning to remove it, why remove the UI button for it?

Is there any irony in observing the fickle preferences of man in regards to geoengineering? Perhaps our understanding is more limited than some are willing to admit.

63 years ago, there was a push to warm the arctic. In 1978, doomsayers predicted a new ice age. For all of the predictions of apocalypse, none have materialized. However, throughout history fear has been a powerful tool for motivating and manipulating the public.

Politicians have had time to start improving healthcare systems. Corporations that currently pay no taxes could help to fund this stuff. Billions of dollars of war industry purchases could have been slightly delayed. Billionaires could have chipped in a bit more, and we could have started ratcheting up capacities and capabilities of hospitals and healthcare systems. But no it seems that's all teetering on the brink of collapse for some astounding reason.

So it's become quite clear to me that we are not, in fact, "all in this together". The situation is that the ruling class are in it for themselves, and they are demanding everybody else lose their jobs and businesses and we comply and mask up and shut ourselves in, so that they all may carry on as usual and refuse to invest our own money in our healthcare systems.

Given what we know about this situation now, I think perhaps a better approach might be to instead not comply with these demands. Ridicule and hound and vote out anybody who insists that after two years of complying we have to continue to shut ourselves away because the healthcare systems they have not adequately invested in are still on the brink of collapse.
I don't disagree that is their publicly stated reason for the limitation. Them having the ulterior motive of stifling PWAs on iOS and competition for mobile Safari is a common theory.

Whether they do have ulterior motives or not, the effect is that innovation is stifled.
If yout think about it, Jetbrains is more a counter part to Visual Studio then VSCode.

Vscode was more a advanced text editor to compete with atom. But I don`t see it losing it`s grip of the market anytime soon. Theres lot of tools that use vscode as base, that will be difficult for them to convert, like platformio IDE for example.

Sounds like none of it would've been a problem if you hadn't had kids? Were your 20s, without kids, not better than your 30s with kids but with all these self-imposed problems?
Very much agreed. Such a responsibility can come, e.g. when you push other people to use your project over alternatives, but the pure act of open-sourcing does not. Something to be said for clearly communicating intentions though, e.g. if you don't intend on spending time on contributions it doesn't hurt to just explicitly note that.
I think a much shorter time would be better, maybe at most 20 years? That's enough time that it won't cause perverse incentives (publishers/studios sitting on a work of art until it goes into the public domain), and plenty of time for an author to profit; but, it's also short enough that it could still be relevant by the time other artists can start adding to it and improving.
The lack of side mirrors is because of hyper-narrow roads and gateways and terrifying traffic. Last time I was in India our driver kept his side mirrors folded down... and the man was capable of manoeuvring his car with micrometer-level accuracy. I can think of dozens of times I cringed expecting a scrape but of course he knew his car perfectly.

There are many situations where those mirrors would have been lost if they'd been open.

Manoeuvring a larger truck would require amazing driving skills, and the width of that truck would make adding side mirrors pointless - you'd lose them the first day out.
My idea is mostly to avoid search engine usage or reduce the number of those searches.

The idea is to provide some explanation about the Name instead of just using the Name. When you track many domains reading BazunaGuanga is harder then lisp-dialect-BazunaGuanga or at least lisp-BazunaGuanga
That doesn't stop them from trying though, and there are plenty of examples from recent times that prove that the difference between the old MS and the new MS are much smaller than their PR department would like you to believe.

Liquidated. An Ethnography of Wall Street
No, it doesn't add up.

I think there's an inflection point somewhere around 15 years ago (early-mid 2000s) that marked the start of mass webification of software. Back then network I/O was the bottleneck for web software, and web developers didn't really need to care about compute resources. The web was light enough for the things people did at the time (excluding flash games, etc.). Not so today, web has gotten enormously complex (and filled to the brim with multimedia) but it's still written with little concern for performance. And this tech (with electron) is replacing traditional desktop software that was, before the inflection point, written by developers who learned their craft in the 90s when performance actually mattered and you couldn't solve every problem just by slapping three gigabytes worth of new dependencies at it.

I find that software is just bigger, slower, less ergonomic. It might SIGSEGV less but there's no shortage of spinners, UI jank, "oops, something went wrong", update churn & related breakage, and other issues.

I'm hoping there are enough retrocomputing / suckless / gemini / low tech / sustainability / etc. enthusiasts to slow start a software revolution. At least one that serves the niche and allows us to leave most of the obese garbage behind.

I have had similar observations about chaotic driving, people are cautious. At place where I live in India at present, one can actually cross roads walking slowly ( The traffic will just go around you )

I do not think there's much truth in "No side mirrors" argument though, I have seen some very old trucks and buses here in India, and cannot recall any missing mirrors.

Infact, the general convention in India for overtaking a truck is to flash highbeam light, turn on the indicator to highlight the edge of your car and overtake.

It actually differs from airport security in one crucial way: vaccination actually works, and it will continue to work. Airport security measures, at least the ones commonly discussed, the ones that spring up after 9/11, have zero effect these days, since the threats they were supposedly intended to combat were solved the moment cockpit doors were required to remain locked at all times.

Vaccines work, boosters work, masks work, lockdowns work, and testing works. And the combination of these measures works. They operate in tandem. I am not advocating keeping all of these measures forever—merely noting that they are not, in fact, really that comparable to airport security.
no, that proposed project wasn't done with any environmental considerations at all and likely would have pretty devastating environmental effects through various effects.

We need a huge collaboration of countries.

We don't need a mega project which creation will cause tons of CO2 (building stuff produces CO2 equivalent emissions) have devastating environmental damage, and massive security risks.

Assuming we can fix climate change by mega project is just the wrong approach.

We need a very (very very) high number on mostly smaller changes (and probably some larger law changes).

So that even if some of them fail it doesn't matter in the grater picture, and so that there is actually a realistic chance to pull it of (which for such a hypothetical mega construction is very small for various reasons).
> You're alive, you didn't die due to the pandemic, did you?

I'd rather be dead, can you fit that in your dumb head?
I don't disagree with any of that. Though I'd point out that just because there's lots of open mountain space doesn't mean it would be anything like straightforward to get the permits to develop and operate a destination ski resort there.

But, as you say, a lot of destination ski resorts don't even really have an associated town at all or they have a somewhat distributed sprawl of related properties and they're inconvenient to get to. Even most of the Colorado resorts aren't especially quick to get to from commercial flights. And if you don't have a destination resort (or other) you just have a small rural town that may not have much in the way of jobs in the first place.

While there have actually been more small ski areas created since than I would have expected, it looks as if Deer Valley is the newest major resort from the early 80s--and that's in a town that already existed and already had an associated major ski area.

My Skills Data Visualization
We live in a time when wrong think can get you cancelled and Firefox has demonstrated a strong ideological bias towards those groups that love to engage in cancel culture. The telemetry might be entirely technical in nature but both ability and the motive are there for it to be something much worse. At a minimum Firefox needs 100% transparency into who had access to the data, how it is secured, its exact uses, and timely updates if any of the above changes. There's too much potential for an "overzealous staffer" to take this technical only telemetry (whatever that might mean) and have it analyzed and released for their own purposes.
I do not buy the "No side mirrors" argument, because what you'll also see written on the back of these trucks is "Use dipper at night", that is, do not use high beam cause the when reflected from the side mirrors, it blocks your vision.

I have a proposal that allows for indefinite copyright, but also with a tax regime that would require someone to pay for this right handsomely.

1. 14 years automatic copyright (enough time for anyone to file registration paperwork)

2. Free 14 year renewal, to 28 years on formal registration.

3. After that, taxing it like regular property - a valuation must be created on which it is taxed like other real property at a reasonable rate, and with the caveat that anyone can buy the rights for that valuation, and then either keep paying tax or let it lapse into public domain. This is like the government buying a piece of land at assessed value if they need to build a public work.

4. Tax in 4 goes up over time, starting at say 1% of valuation yearly up to 10% of valuation yearly after 100 years.

Don't pay the tax, copyright lapses and enters public domain. Value too low, someone buys your copyright out. The end result would be that most normal copyrights last 28 years, before the tax comes into effect.

Also, Mickey Mouse can be held in copyright for perpetuity, but Disney has to pay a lot for this right and continually increase the valuation/tax if someone wants to buy it from them.
> I get a horrible feeling in my stomach when I see these "remote" IDE options.

Same here. For me, it is the understanding that every bit of this 'convenience' is adding overhead and latency to what should ultimately just be a text editor with some degree of real-time feedback. I can barely tolerate RDP on a local LAN setup for writing code. Across the internet is a joke, especially if some corporate VPN is in the middle.

Remote tools are totally acceptable when a human isn't in the loop on every frame update. The laws of physics are never going to give us a win-win here. If you want remote tooling + cake (i.e., a low-latency UI experience that doesn't live local), you will need to start deploying this stuff closer to the users' physical locations.

Boeing Built an Unsafe Plane, and Blamed the Pilots When It Crashed
Same for me. I tried "escaping" ReSharper a few times over the years (have used it for 10+ years) - but I kept crawling back after a few days or weeks feeling super handicapped without the features.

I also bought new hardware - and noticed no real improvement (something about a fundamental threading problem, I think).

About 6 months ago I was finally fed up and just accepted I would be slower and less productive in some areas for a while without ReSharper, but that it would be OK.

I still miss features from it on a daily basis, but overall I am now quite happy with vanilla VS2019/22 - and never want to go back to the lag-hell that is ReSharper.

I was working on a project where users can upload files, and I got frustrated by the lack of options for preventing my website from becoming a vector for spreading malware.

I decided to build my own AV scanning API instead, though I only managed to get one commercial engine integrated into it, with ClamAV as a backup.
