> I sometimes wonder if it would be better to focus on one or two things and go really deeply.

Nah, that sounds great! A rich life. I reckon just do whatever you're into at any moment without such meta-thinking, let alone over-thinking, at all.

I've always been into a lot of different things, the main thing I regret is 20+ years making little or no notes of what I was learning or what I was doing, or just writing into disorganized notebooks impossible to go back to. I kept a diary for 20+ years, but that didn't cover most of the details of what I was into. Thankfully, at last in the last 5-10 years I've been keeping records of stuff, mostly in various illustrated LaTeX books. I can only be into 1 or 2 things at a time, so next time I return to something, it's there ready to pick up again. Or looking through stuff from a few years ago is a great way to get new ideas to try I didn't think of back then. Good luck!
As a young woman I agree klebe.
Sorry if it was disorienting or difficult to look at! I've quadrupled the tween time to be much slower. Let me know if that helps.

If it's still pretty bad, I can look into having it removed instead.
I open source everything I legally can.

People pay me for custom advice and integration of otherwise generic publicly available work. That public work also is what gives me the credibility to get gigs I otherwise never could. Others can go make money offering consulting based on my work if they want. I hope they do! There is no shortage of companies in need of consultants to unblock them in niche areas.

It is kind of the "paid support" model, and it works well for a lot of open source projects whose creators actively market themselves as the defacto subject matter experts offering support.

Likewise when I have worked for big companies and am having trouble or need a feature from an open source project I use my elective budget to pay project authors to implement what I need. Bailed me out many times in ways I would have never seen from a big tech firm like Apple.

Let's be honest though. The people that love the Apple brand enough to use Safari in spite of all the shortcomings don't use it because WebKit is open source or not. They use it because Apple supports it and they trust the brand.

Apple could open source everything and still be a top player for the foreseeable future.

They just want to be -the- top player making a little bit -more- money by monopolizing control of a major software platform even if it means developers have a shitter experience being stuck with decade old software they can't easily update in a safe way.
"Async runtimes" is a thing that only makes sense for interpreted languages and their limitations. This thing is pure cargo cult and shows that Rust mostly appeals to newbies who don't know what they are doing.
So does this mean that pwning the PXE image server basically pwns the entire organization?
Show HN: I had written yaccgo, more understandable yacc in go
Through Google has tool about yacc named goyacc, But it generate go code can not debug! see the issue

https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/issues/1674#event-561203...

I tried to modify the codes, It is not good readable, and I have no patient to do it, So I write a YaccGo

YaccGo is an unstantable and debugable Yacc in Go. . It is written in Go and generates parsers written in Go ,typescript, rust
I don't get how your answer applies to the specific question of why not have some of them without maintained stealth coating. That's different from armed and has nothing to do with check-ups on general aviation and commercial planes violating airspace restrictions, or having set up their transponders wrongly, or failed in the air. How is working stealth relevant for that?
Have you tried Facebook Groups?

eg. a quick search found a Ham radio group in SD: https://www.facebook.com/groups/856599821517281.

More Ham radio groups in San Diego (you can do a similar search for retro computing): https://www.facebook.com/search/groups?q=ham%20radio&filters...

Meetup also has some retro computing groups, though I don't see one in San Diego (why not start one?): https://www.meetup.com/topics/retro-computers/

(Caveat: I work on FB Groups)

Only Sith deal in absolutes -- I feel that with TDD. Yes, our tests should catch most if not all regressions - no that does not mean we're inherently writing bug-free code as long as it passes all our tests. If someone claims that a methodology is totally necessary, take it with a grain of salt and test your code.
Thanks for the concise explanation! You must be the original author. I've shared the article with many friends.

A few follow up questions:

- I'm interested to see how this affects multi-family housing. Do the same mechanics come to play? In an apartment complex, I assume that the positive or negative value of the property would be way greater than the land value, no?

- Do the resulting effects of the 3rd property only apply for teardown and straight up unliveable properties? Or would it be the blanket bottom x% of all houses in SF?
If it was the latter, could this count as an inefficiency under the proposal? As "bad but livable" units today are now taken off the market?

- Does the "good house" now lose re-sale value now simply by virtue of being next to a "bad house"? Let's say that the house issues are internal, and the outside is fine. Is this okay?

Looking forward to part II. If these questions get answered then, I'll just wait until I read it and ask more questions.
I have always had Pixels which get monthly updates, but this is a crucial point. Even if Google says "hey guys, we fixed it in AOSP, aren't you proud of us?"

The empathetic perspective is that these CEOs and boards don’t have national allegiance. They are trying to optimize globally, and China is more exploitable in the sense of getting a steeper growth curve out of it.
Word had it uniswap is prepping for KYC requirements. Sounds like there is still a centralized decision making element to the smart contracts that are what uniswap is at the core.

Can you link the talk or post its title?
amazon or facebook can afford to pay lots of developers to deal with this. i cannot, and if they force their rust code onto the community, it will close the door for lots of smaller device manufacturers including myself. and that is the main issue. linux does not exist to entertain the interests of those with more money.
Why FFS does an F'ing app need to have access to that, particularly if it's required by many organizations?

I think this shows a gross misunderstanding of both the makeup/demographics of the workforce and of the amount of education needed to do various kinds of jobs. You think you don't need literacy to do TPM? https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm

Actually, I think the "TPM" at the end is just evidence that you're trolling. Have a nice day.

Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun
Good god, please stop this misguided snarkiness. Comparing software engineering (or 99.99% of EE, ME, CE, etc) to the web telescope, then haughtily using that comparison as a way to dismiss the entire industry as not really being engineering at all is just ridiculous. I have spent almost 10 years as an EE and another 12 as software engineer and the idea that the level of rigor in EE or ME is any higher than high caliber software teams is just laughable. CI? Detailed process and best practices for review, readability, reusability, testability, security... I won't even go on, most EE teams I've encountered are laughable on all those fronts, all practices that are very common in software engineering. If you think otherwise I highly doubt you have real-world exposure to the processes generally followed by those other disciplines. I do, FYI they are just regular jackasses like all of us :)

Also, guess what? The web telescope has a ton of software on it. I suppose that is just "software engineering"? (in quotes, har har)

Look, there are terrible teams doing terrible or very simplistic software work. The same is true in all engineering disciplines and it is of course true that in all engineering disciplines (including software) there are also teams operating with a high degree of passion and rigor in creating very complex things. So yeah, please stop with these silly and really pretty insulting comments.
The original comment was about the "end game" of NFT's. My point is that money has value because we choose to value it, and fungible tokens often don't give you enough information to adequately make that choice, which means that nonfungible tokens have a bigger part to play than their current form would indicate.

Currently, most people don't consider whether using a given type of money is in line with their personal values because we all value food and shelter and clean water, so there's enough common ground that it's not worth splitting hairs over. But if you chart a course to a post-scarcity world, then it will take you through a time when food and shelter and clean water are no longer scarce. There will still probably be people causing problems in the world (and using money to do it), and the nonviolent way to take the wind out of those people's sails is to stop valuing their money because it's encouraging behavior that's not in line with your values.

This might happen several times before the greedy learn to behave, so in such a world it might be difficult to decide which type of fungible token to use. If you end up using tokens minted by people that ultimately end up pissing off the masses, those masses might reject your money. One way to hedge against this kind of risk is to just go around doing things that you're pretty sure everybody will agree are good things. For each public good provided, mint an NFT and use it as money. Initially we'll need some way to burn stale NFT's to keep the scarcity-logic in check, but this is the road to post-scarcity. Once we're well practiced in valuing a token for its effects, rather than for its scarcity, we'll be prepared to let go of the scarcity logic entirely. Or at least that's the plan.
You emphasize "antisocial", and I am not sure why. I looked it up to double-check, and the main definition is "contrary to the laws and customs of society; devoid of or antagonistic to sociable instincts or practices." Could you please explain what you mean by "uniquely antisocial"?

>"If you really care about art, you have to care about the material foundations that make rich and meaningful social livelihoods possible."

I care about all the tiers of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and I think that many paintings are worth a lot more than most 10k acres. The paintings also have the benefits of being able to contribute to shared experiences all over the world, and fulfilling more challenging needs.
Agreed. Unions do get bad and unfair rap. They serve a purpose as an advocate and provide bargaining power for employees in the free market.

I feel people forget that unions are organizations, and like all organizations (companies, non-profits, religious orgs, etc), they can be good or bad.
Building failure can happen in unexpected ways. We were watching a brick Victorian era office block on fire. The roof peak was leaning over the street and we and the fire department were expecting it to fall onto the street which had been cordoned off.

The triangular top of the peak fractured horizontally lower down and the rotation around the fracture line pushed the wall below back into the building and successively collapsed each floor.

Unfortunately there were firefighters inside. A couple did hospital time.
$275 billion in spending over a period of five years sounds like a lot, but I think you might be underestimating how much Apple would spend in China “naturally”.

When's the last CEO I heard making these same promises to America?

On Apple’s spending in the USA:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/26/business/apple-spending-u...

“The company said its overall spending would reach $430 billion in the United States over the next five years.”
Wow. They think he's a threat? Isn't it more important to get your own affairs in order before running off into the woods looking for a boogeyman?
God, I hadn't even thought about Ning for a decade. I had to check it still existed. I remember when it was 24 Hour Laundry.
Sadly, yes. Though it's already happening, just not in that vile of a situation. Yet.
thoughts or tips on nftables? (especially with bpf) vs iptables?
Congress and the US government take many aggressive actions against China. Recently, members of Congress personally visited Taiwan to express support for them. A current bill imposes sanctions on China for Xinjing human rights abuses, and President Biden imposed a 'diplomatic boycott' of the upcoming Olympics for the same reason. The Pentagon is openly focusing its efforts on China, including providing nuclear submarine technology to Australia - a historic first besides the UK.

Probably, yes. And the same applies to MS Teams app.
An individual's decision to terminate their pregnancy does have malignant effects on the general population. The same cannot be said for not getting vaccinated and smoking.
>It reminds you that at high speeds these tests don't mean that much.

That's a glass-half-empty outlook. Another way to look at it, is that when you're going 60, 70 mph, or more, nothing will save you, so you might as well drive anything you feel like, from a classic car with no airbags to a motorcycle.

And I don't doubt that Mercedes was going a lot faster than 30. I see people going at least 50 on city streets posted for 30 just to get in front for the next traffic light.
What is the value in measuring expenditure alone? Doesn't the income generated by those activities also factor into the equation?
I wonder if there should be a 911-like test number that would cause the phone and the network to go through the emergency call procedure, just not connect to the actual call center.
I see.

Could it be possible in areas like Detroit where the cost of renovating the house for profitability is just too prohibitively expensive that the house itself just isn't sellable? Could home-owners now somehow be stuck in situations where they are forced into debt by holding a property that just sucks money out?

Especially if implemented too suddenly?
> benefit from knowing the Krebs cycle

Yes! I know about aerobic and anaerobic respiration. I know about the different ways things break down as a result. I can understand why getting a deep puncture wound is dangerous as a result. I can read scientific journals about related topics. I have an understanding of basic metabolism, so that when I'm confronted by having a metabolic disorder I can know what it means. When people talk about keto, I can draw on this knowledge. When we discuss lactic acid fermentation in tissues, and the controversy about whether this is a primary cause of muscle soreness, I understand that too!

> whether schist is igneous or metamorphic?

I enjoy knowing about the basics of geology, but it's not been of too much utility to me other than recreation. On the other hand, basic geological knowledge is helpful to a fair number of occupations.

But the whole point is to expose people to many things so they can find what interests them and that they're good at.
Perhaps ChuckMcM means the idea of completely transparent RPC? Treating RPC as something you can throw into a program and have it become distributed without designing for it. There seemed to be a time when it that was an expectation. gRPC still needs a lot of extra scaffolding to make a real distributed system.
I see it as an Agile vs Waterfall thing.

Waterfall works great, if and ONLY if, you know 100% for sure exactly what you're requirements are at the beginning of the project and they never change significantly. This seems to be mostly true-ish for aerospace. Nobody's going to pivot the Falcon 9 into being a washing machine next week.

It seems to me that the point of Agile is that Waterfall fails hard if you have no idea what you want your business software to actually do. Agile is an attempt to build a reasonable software development process around that reality.

So when you get down to it, the lack of rigor isn't so much in software itself as in business. If you don't have any idea what your business is going to actually do, no software or engineering process can fix that.
> Companies are no people with feeling and morals. They are machines for making money.

Companies do moral things all the time, being run by people and being, like people, tied to a community that they care about (often, to a degree) and which greatly affects the company. Without enlightened self-interest, and some broader self-interest, the society that provides customers, investors, employees, roads, security, markets, etc. - it collapses. The Middle Ages weren't good for business.
What I told the students of Princeton
I really like FreeBSD. I would very much like to run it on one of my laptops, but wireless NIC driver support has been an issue, so I'm currently running OpenBSD on one instead. Next time I buy a laptop, I'll probably buy one that can run FreeBSD.
What is interesting to me is a distribution of accurate, inaccurate, but also debatable critiques.

A debatable one is how much economic sanctioning is overused, or underused. Especially in light of the its long term impact - i.e. over time the demand to unseat the dollar as the reserve currency is growing.

And that will be a huge blow to US influence.

EDIT: I imagine that would be on China's TO DO list.
So it can make VoIP calls from your work phone number. Now that nobody has a desk phone, such a thing is needed, especially if you don't want to pay for cell phones for your employees but do want them to get calls.

> value that existed before humans showed up

I'm not sure that meshes with the way it's actually described in the article. They give examples of a small piece of land worth $2M and then another plot in a different location that's worth far less, purely due to proximity to other improvements on the land (i.e. being prime real estate in a city) rather than something inherent to the land itself (e.g. fertility/use for growing crops).

And even then, something like fertility isn't really all natural any longer, given how it's impacted by so many farming practices (fertilization, tilling/no-till, crop rotation/nitrogen fixing crops, etc.).

Resource extraction (e.g. oil) seems a lot closer, though the actual labor of it vs. the resources of it are another thing. I do see more reason there why the benefit ought to be largely public--and to some extent it is in, e.g., Alaska via the Alaska Permanent Fund.

But I think that labor, improvements and whatever the intrinsic value might be are a lot more tied together than seems to be accounted for by the theory. Otherwise why is the intrinsic value of Manhattan's land not measured in some number of beads, with everything else being due to improvements (including those made by neighbors)? And yes, I do realize that beads actually were money for a time due to a lack of actual currency, but still.
Another key factor is enforcement cost. Enforcing a land tax is really easy for a government. You just... Go there and get it. There's no moving the land offshore or having complex relationships or offsets. If someone won't pay the government just assigns the ownership to someone who will and goes on.

Compliance costs with many other taxes are quite high.
Cryptocurrency has essentially reminded us that "a censorship-resistant, permissionless hard money" is a far greater enabler of "the bad guys who would take away our freedom" than it is an enabler of "the little guy trying to secure his own freedom".

This is the bitter lesson every anarchist learns — by tearing down the establishment, you're not creating "actual anarchic freedom" — you're creating a utopia for pimps and thieves. It provides a huge raft of new freedoms for organized crime, being a massive catalyst for money laundering and the like. It provides surprisingly few freedoms for the little guy, since nothing's protecting you from theft by the same mobsters. Seriously — if your BTC wallet gets stolen/exchange gets hacked, you're basically fucked. And it's at its worst in exactly those countries we'd naively think would be helped by some underground currency, because there's nothing to stop the mob from robbing the little guy in a place like Russia. We moved away from gold for the exact same reason.

This is to say nothing of all the scams, ponzi schemes, environmental damage, etc, etc, which are several additional shitshows on top of what I just described.

---

Anarchy is always a more powerful tool for the bad guys than it is for the good guys. It's an iron law of history. The bad guys will always capitalize on the inherent power-differential of organized groups versus a disorganized group of individuals. As soon as the good guys try to fight back by banding together —— then they've violated the principles of anarchy. At that point they've simply created a new government, with censorship and granting of permissions.

Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi.
I have what I think is a unique perspective on this.

Private small self run social media already exists. It's personal Minecraft servers.

When I was younger I ran a Minecraft server out of my toaster of a PC. Friends hopped on, made their own little houses, built stuff and talked. Friends would pass in and out and in order to get in you had to be invited! I'd say max there were 10-20 people on there somewhat consistently.

It was great, and better than social media or even game for hanging out with your friends IMO because it emulated synchronous human interaction instead of just setting up feeds where everything has to be "perfect".

It was easy enough for a 14 year old to setup, and administer. Mods made it hackable and fun.

I guess the metaverse was already a thing back then huh?
That's not an Amazon policy. We have to take a 1 hour or so training course to participate in amazon-owned things on github and that's pretty much it. Basically zero rules around participating in our free time afaik.
Its funny that these new laws are being written/supported by big tobacco. Because Big Tabacco moved to non-smoked nicotine products already and need better market penetration for there get healthy campaigns.
