I was once in a session with a concealed carry license instructor and at the end of his session he made a couple surprising points. 1) if you’re going to shoot somebody, shoot to kill or prepare for a lawsuit. 2) There is a gun lobby, a taser lobby, a knife lobby, but no baseball bat lobby so don’t keep a baseball bat under your bed because when you injure somebody you’ll be sued and nobody will help defend you. 3) Buy pepper spray. I took his advise and bought pepper spray instead.
My point here is there is also no rail gun lobby, so if you injure somebody, prepare to be sued.
This is probably the easiest way. The tragedy is that this explicitly rejects all the subsequent developments since WPF - UWP, WinUI3 - because they don't work nearly as well.

If you want an installer BTW, use "Wix".

If you are eligible for VS Community, do give it a go: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/ since that has the WPF designer in (the WinUI3 designer is inexcusably broken)
OK. And what if the borrower defaults?

Per https://docs.anchorprotocol.com/protocol/money-market#borrow..., it seems like there'd be zero risk as long as the LTV is >= 1.0, but that sort of defeats the point of loans. ;)

inflation linked bonds are pretty bad. there is significant lag and also it's not like it will be enough.
I do the same, losing out on 5 months of savings gaining interest is likely to be a very significant amount of lost potential. Compared to a doomsday scenario where I might lose half of my investments and job at the same time, which would mean most of the world is suffering from the same and I would just have to buckle up for the ride, leaving as much of my investments alone as humanly possible and wait for _maybe_ a year or two for the market to recover, as a somewhat realistic worst case scenario.
> just negotiate a salary increase for this year of 7%

If even one-tenth of the country succeeded in heeding your advice then inflation is certainly not going back to 1% the next year. Wage pressure is the main one that central banks can't easily handwave away and has huge flow on effects to an economy.

I didn't interpret the parent comment as arguing against mice models, just that there is a huge gap between finding something that works in mice and then applying it to humans (with tons and tons of false starts), that any pronouncements that imply that human treatments are on the horizon are premature.
The author is nuts, and so are many commenters here echoing their viewpoint.

The steps are

1. Download and install Visual Studio (author says C# - that's one checkbox to set in the installer)

2. Launch it and click make new -> desktop application

3. Hit F5

The rest is a self inflicted wound.

20GB for arguably the best IDE of the last decade may be a problem for a high schooler in a very poor country, but everyone else here, all supporters of this post included, should have no issue with it (unless also self-inflicted).

1 min build is basically a lie for launching a hello world app with F5. I doubt it will take more than 5 seconds on any machine.
> escalating the situation to be personally stressful for the attackers seems like an appropriate response

I'd morally disagree with that. Shouldn't deliberately cause someone personal stress, no matter what they've done to you.
universities are going to continue to exist and students will be attending them. what exactly suggests that this will not continue forever?

of course FOSS has always depended on people who had the resources to work on it. in the beginning this was only universities and as FOSS got more popular more funding sources appeared.

the problem that we are facing is not one of funding. there is plenty of funding available. the problem is a generational shift of that funding.

people who used to be able to afford working on FOSS no longer can because their life changed. they are no longer students, they have a family and so on.

FOSS development will continue. the fallacy is to believe that an individual contributor will always be able to keep contributing for the rest of their life. we need to acknowledge that unpaid FOSS contributions are limited to a few years of an individuals life. and after that they need to move on. and most do. those that didn't move on but continued contributing were those who managed to find additional funding sources.

the problem and the difficulty is that we get more and more software that is not new but needs to be maintained. most of those using their own funds will want to work on their own new software and not maintain someone elses.

so the questions is not how do we fund FOSS development, but rather how do we fund FOSS maintenance. that is the new thing that we didn't have to deal with a few decades ago

You have antibodies that will bind to just about anything foreign, including viruses that your body has never seen before, M-type immunoglobulin (IgM). It's the kind of antibodies that responds in the first phases of an infection.

The problem is that IgMs are not very specific. They bind to a lot of things, but they bind poorly. In the library of Alexandria analogy, it's like a book that happens to mention a subject you care about, but only in passing.

Vaccines (and infections) result in your immune system developing IgG. That's the hyper-specific books for the pathogen you care about.

So it's not that the book wasn't at the front. Your immune system has to write the book on the fly, during the fight, using chopped up pieces of pathogen gathered by antigen-presenting cells.
The issue is that not everything has to be flipped. Numbers are an example but think about LTR words embedded in a RTL language (some may be urls or email addresses or untranslatable texts).

Designing an HTML page with RTL content is basically a nightmare because the tags are still in English.

Actually some programmers do exactly as you say and flip the view completely, including tags, when they work in a mixed document. I have seen this flow with programmers who use vim in the terminal.

But not, the cost is really not enormous nowadays. It's really a matter of really easy fixes and some testing. Similarly to many other accessibility features the issue is most often ignored completely, however.

Yes and this response has also become a trope. It’s generically universal to nearly any early result.
There are many licenses that have fewer requirements than a GPL or copyleft license. People can take that code and make their own versions that are proprietary/closed source for example. If the license is "compatible" then it allows anything the GPL or copyleft requires and is similar to a company taking the code and making it proprietary as far as the original license is concerned.

Agreed, we need an editor that is as flexible as possible. From that perspective VSCode serves a pretty good middle ground. It's programmable (but in Typescript that I don't like) and has tons of plugins, but it also has nice GUIs and such.

I'd call it a "yup," if we're talking about the point of an airgap. If I don't want executables contacting the outside world without my knowledge, and one is, then the airgap (or, more likely, firewall or suchlike) preventing that exe from being able to do so is a feature.

This does mean that certain programs just won't work, or won't work without some finagling. That's also a feature. The price of control is having to control things.

Granted, most people don't want to pay that price, and prefer convenience. That's admittedly not to my own taste - c.f.) log4j for a good example of why - but I think I'm maybe a little weird there. I certainly don't think there's anything audacious about catering to majority tastes. Maybe just vaguely disappointing.
Poison is convenient. For one thing, it's effective even without any effort or skill. Setting an old-fashioned trap is not hard, but it does take a bit of practice to get the sensitivity just right. I've known lots of people who set theirs so that they wouldn't trigger for anything smaller than a capybara, watched their bait get stolen a couple of times, and then gave up. Also, the very same feature of knowing whether you caught something also means you have to see it and dispose of it. I have no problem with any of this, but many people do. Usually they only find out about poison's down sides when it's too late.

BTW some of the older poisons advertised that victims would actively seek to get outside before they died, which would avoid the "died in the wall" problem. Such claims might or might not have been true, but people continue to believe that for all poisons.
That's why I default to they/them unless I have some indication otherwise. One time a dude went off on me for it, and I broke his brain by suggesting pronouns in his bio would have saved him a public freakout. I always found the prescription to default to masculine terms as a default gender neutral awfully suspicious even before I knew I was nonbinary.
It's exactly why I quit using fitbit 4 or 5 years ago when they made a similar change. There should be 0 reason for needing an internet connection to send data from a wristband 2 feet away to my phone using bluetooth in order to tell me how many feet I've traveled. That may have changed since then but I wouldn't know. They lost me as a customer.
In times of ideologically driven divides common sense is one of the first casualties.
Interest rates can't go up because it would risk America's ability to re-pay its debt, as well as the debt of 'zombie' corporations, which would inevitably impact the Fed's "maximum employment" mandate. If interest rates can't rise, it's going to contribute to more inflation.
And by broken, you mean what?
Why do design and style repeat themselves?
A few years ago, skeuomorphism was wildly popular. From Windows XP, Vista, 7 to iOS (before v6) and android. But it seems after iOS 6, almost everybody jumped on the bandwagon of flat design. Google introduced Material and Microsoft offered Metro and later Acrylic (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/).

But now we see some trends like in iOS that show that designers are embracing some of the intuitive aspects of skeuomorphism. For example, iOS icons have some depth now and look more 3D.

Why is this happening?
Tell that to my hair follicles.
Why is search on Amazon so bad?

Search is poor on the Amazon UK site too. I often fail to find a book that is old or out-of-print using Amazon's search. Or I try to search for a particular brand and model. I then turn to a Google search for the exact title + author (or brand + model). Google's search results display the correct Amazon entry at the top or near the top of the search results. In other words, Google does a better job at finding products on Amazon that Amazon's own search feature.

I can only assume that Amazon has simply so much stock that they can no longer categorise many products correctly. Or they simply don't care.

Also, Amazon is flooded with 'drop-shippers' desperate to inflate their search ranking on Amazon. YouTube is stuffed with videos recommending sellers adopt unsavoury SEO tactics to manipulate Amazon search results.

eBay has a better structured, categorised approach to finding products. The eBay approach is not perfect, but better than Amazon.

There is a vast difference in birth rates in cultures where women have 3+ kids as the norm and cultures where women have 1 or 2 kids as the norm.

I do not know any aunts or cousins that wanted to have more than 2 kids, maybe one or two that had 3. And almost all came from moms or grandmas that has 3+ kids, usually 4 or 5.

It has nothing to do with Western feminist or STEM or whatever political nonsense, it is simply a result of giving birth and breastfeeding being a very costly event with very real risks for almost all women.
>it's just another data point they can use against you

This. Part of HR's game is gathering stuff and keeping it until it can be weaponized against an employee. Small and futile things that, when added together, can support pretty much any story they make up on their favor. They somehow pride themselves on being "smart" for doing this stuff.

Very few professions require you to be as dishonest and immoral as HR is. I pity the people that have to become this so they can put some bread on their tables.

Not that I entirely reject the ghist of your claim, but what about:

* Part-time for-pay work, rest of time FOSS (like myself...)?

In those situations you pay the bills without donations.

I think you're missing the point here.

People's time is valuable, especially expert developers.

The 'Code' only part of the issue with respect to input cost. Someone has to maintain that dev. account, maintain their skills, stay on top of distribution policies, probably take on some legal risk, keep the build kind of up to day.

That takes skill. We mostly want it that way so that distribution is clean and clear and reasonable for those involved.

If it's a niche product, then $20 is not going to add up to a lot of money.

If it's a professional product, then $20 is basically $0 for all intents and purposes, it's the cost of a stapler on which case cost should not be a problem.

The AppStore is generally an open market, if $20 price is too high and someone is raking in big profits, someone can publish the same thing.

In the end, what we want to achieve is a price point that matches the material value creation involved in the 'maintenance of the build and distribution aspects'.

That's actually efficient, and what we want.

There's no such thing as 'free' - it's all time and labour and there are number of issues involved.

FOSS should be considered 'volunteer labour' which makes the underlying costs more apparent, the code and licensing is a distraction from that.
> I wouldn't say the campfire was ruined, by my goodwill toward this product certainly was.

Your goodwill deterioration does not matter unless you switch a new a app[1], and
a) Make sure that new app can function without internet, and b) Tell your current app developers why you are switching.

So, yeah, your goodwill is irrelevant is you're still giving them money or value.

> If a normal recent laptop

Apparently, 80% of recent laptops are engineered for web browsing and very light office workloads, even regardless on their price. Despite the CPUs are generally good, they don’t usually install enough RAM in them. It started to change recently, half of the new ones have 16GB RAM which is good for development at the moment. But that wasn’t the case in 2016 when Intel released Kaby Lake CPUs the OP has.

> agreeing with OP that the situation is awful?

I looked at WinUI3 not long ago, and didn’t like it too much. I wouldn’t call the situation “awful”, but it’s not good either, neither for OP nor Microsoft.

The Windows GUI software I develop for living is often based on WPF. I think it’s superior despite much older: amount of bugs, quality of tools, binary size, etc. Fortunately for the OP, WPF is still supported in latest versions of .NET and Visual Studio, and is very likely to stay that way.
No, in doing so they expected the IDE to continue to function as a build tool even if the programmer is using a text editor that works for them.
