Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't have it in mind.

You probably need some insulation, and some sort of heating, although the computing device could probably provide the heat. Handling summer/winter cycles without human intervention might be a bit complex, but intervening twice a year doesn't seem too much hassle.

Sanitize your place with high-pressure washing in North London
High-pressure cleaning in North London is the modern exterior washing technique that has swiftly become one of the most popular techniques of cleaning a range of surfaces in both home and commercial settings. Pressure washing is appropriate for a variety of cleaning applications, including sidewalks, patios, and residential property exteriors and it is a fantastic method to preserve or restore the appearance of a property
Last time I looked, GNUStep was really, really, really buggy reimplementation of 2000-era macOS... sorry, Mac OS X back then... toolkit.

I say really 3 times, because I really tried to port a MacOS-only terminal app (don't ask) to Linux, and I failed miserably on very basic functions.

I guess I should have tried more, make minimal examples and report that, but I never bothered. It's what I would do now, anyway.

There have to be limits to growth, but we won’t know where they are except in retrospect. We also may never hit them due to fertility decline which occurs in all wealthy societies. Fertility decline plus efficiency increase could cause consumption of some resources to fall.

Space migration doesn’t change the equation much on Earth unless you start mining and manufacturing off world and importing product, and that is pretty far off.

The problem with articles like these is that rational people don't need them to be convinced while those that do are not rational.

Watch this mixed relay race[1] to see how Poland, which has a 5s lead at the beginning of the last leg, manage to let FOUR men pass them because they went with a m-m-f-f tactic instead of the more common m-f-f-m.

And watch this "She v. He" exhibition match between "The Most Dangerous Woman in the World" and some random male Muay Thai fighter.[2] Both have similar heights and weights, but the woman, who ended her career with a 36-0 record, gets KOed in the second round.

Transwomen competing in women's sport will have very similar results. Genetics and testosterone cannot be wished away.

Jordan Peterson, of all people, spoke about this once.
One of the things his experience taught him was that when you are "talking to a company", you are not taking to the company itself but one of their employees who has their own goals and career ambitions.

For example, in my business (selling open-source oscilloscopes, mostly direct to public but sometimes to universities or retailers), I found that offering a broad array of payment options and proper invoicing was more important than bulk discounts.

The employees I'd talk to weren't trying to optimally allocate their employer's resources, but minimise the fucking around required to get the purchase signed off on (or, in a few cases, get those sweet, sweet Amex points).
It goes both ways, back in CFront days, and when it was picking up steam across MS-DOS, Mac OS, UNIX, among others.

Unfortunely it is also an hindrance to fix some issues that prevent C++ to ever embrace safety, or better implementation of static analysers.

Okay, so we’ve moved on from: Panels can’t be recycled. To: Panels in the US aren’t recycled enough because the economic conditions aren’t right.

Thats a much more nuanced point. Government regulation can help here for sure.
How will you use a blockchain to do either of those things. DRM is only truly useful for interactive media anyway, so even if you have some kind of decentralized encrypted data decrypted on sufficient transaction, that data flows out of something into pixels and sound waves at some point. No real advantage to be gained over just doing the same in an ordinary W3 online storefront. Copyright management is very doable with stuff like NFTs, but that's management as a separate thing from enforcement. A blockchain cannot automatically detect misuse of copyrighted material or do anything about it even if something on the blockchain knew. It just doesn't seem reasonable to do these things.

On the other hand, the main advantage we should consider with blockchain is decentralised computation. Decentralised computation can possibly be managed and regulated by a cryptocurrency which itself is tied to the value of decentralised computation and as such does not exist as some imaginary token of value from artificial scarcity. The ability for a system to exist all over the world and to communicate and compute everywhere can be important to many applications. Communication, fintech, serverless services, license management, ownership management, the very idea of smart contracts etc.

That's where the real meat of the system lies, and not in online artificial scarcity tokens distributing a soulless, valueless illustration procedurally generated like millions like it based off a bunch of templates drawn in paint over about an hour.
I'd say the difference could be primarily about ownership of your data and identity. So when you go to someone elses website you bring your data with you, auth through your own keys rather than them storing it for you. Think localStorage but hostable and shareable with granular permissions to data or WebAuthn but usable by normal people.

There'd definitely be a bunch of companies helping the less technically inclined but the point is to make that a choice you can change as opposed to having all your life locked into three behemoths.

No, but I was torrenting those movies to my seedbox which was on 24/7.

IMO I don’t think usage scales to power consumption - this sounds like correlation vs causation to me. It sounds like use has also increased while efficiency has increased, not one because of the other (ie I would personally still be streaming the same number of movies if my AppleTV used twice the power, and if they release a new version that doubles the energy efficiency that won’t cause me to watch more)

I feel like I've been in quicksand for the last year. I've built something that my cofounder and I are using internally for remote collaboration, along with a couple support people, and it's great. But none of us have been able to figure out how to talk about it in a way that generates interest. This is really hard if you're more of a natural builder than a seller.
Snap traps work great. Mice are INCREDIBLY stupid. I set some snap traps at my cottage. I ran out of almonds, but I was too lazy to go inside for more, so for the last trap I just used an acorn. Sure enough, it caught a mouse. With thousands of acorns all over my yard.

A bucket with a free-spinning dowel across it works very well too. Although, where I live they are illegal to use unless you empty them twice daily. And any use of water or chemicals with them is illegal.

The thing that's funny about web3 is that it's going to absolutely turn into celebrities shilling to the rich. They've always done that, but now it's going to be extra cringy because it's going to be so blatant. The reason it's going to be shilling and not, you know, someone buying artwork that they care about is because data on computers is trivially copyable and, deep down, nobody cares about a photo or a song when it's just signed data. Even print photography is several orders of magnitude cheaper than painted art. So, ultimately, it's going to be a game of access peddling. And when people see that, the market will more or less collapse outside of possibly some minor edge cases where it really does work[0] and even if I'm not interested it, I'm semi-bullish on them at least in the medium term.

[0] Games are the one place where scarcity makes sense. Strong, defined brands from companies with a history of not flooding the market or abandoning a product line could make out huge. Think Magic: The Gathering. Or the Star Wars universe and most players are not Jedi. Or Lord of the Rings and it's some extremely beautiful and intricate dwarven battle axe. The NFT makes it possible to move from rendition of a game to rendition. I'm not sure about the long term (~100+ years) here though.

Node is not "moving to ESM", they don't even plan to deprecate CJS. They will continue to support both for the foreseeable future. Their docs still use `require` in a lot of places even though ESM has been enabled on stable releases for almost 2 years.
Congrats on your new role! Currently, I feel like addition to JavaScript is a lot slower than new CSS features, for example. What do you think are the chances that JS will one day get a larger batch of STL functions, instead of about a dozen each year?

Hey luca,

Huge fan of the achievements that Deno has made in recent years.
Several questions:

How do you aim to promote Deno as a viable alternative to node, considering it's significant network effect and legacy?

Do you believe that Deno's 'more sane' defaults for security will appeal to developers in the long term? Do you think that the front end community will be receptive to these defaults?

Choosing TS as your language de jure, do you think that you will alienate any dyed in the wool JS devs? Can we expect that TS is now effectively the superset of JS going forwards?

Do you believe Deno's lack of support for NPM style package management will result in cleaning up the frontend community's over reliance on 'leftpad' style packages? Do you think that Deno's approach to dependencies fosters a more considered approach to transitive dependency bloat?

Again, huge fan of Deno, and happy to hear about this announcement.
Of course it's natural. The fact that hierarchies exist among all animal species is not the fruit of randomness. It is precisely how power concentrates over time, and the same thing occurs in all human endeavors, including corporations.

However, since Low-tech Magazine’s readership is almost equally divided between Europe and the USA this is not an attractive option.

MacPorts has been doing binary packages since MacPorts 2.0 (2011). It will compile from source when binary package is unavailable (e.g., non-default variant or newer OS release).
2011 is late? Or are you referring to OSes in general?
Speaking to the quality of the organization - the people in it and the relationships between them.

I used to be part of a couple of hackerspaces. The expertise and labor we received as a volunteer organization could not be bought. Once we started making money and hired staff, the magic was gone. Basically like when your hobby becomes work.

You see it with TikTok and YouTube as well, of course the commercialization pays for a lot of high quality content, but it's basically TV at this point, for every high quality channel there's 1000 people trying anything to get ad revenue and it makes the whole thing hard to wade through.

Compare that with the Vine compilations now archived on YouTube, some of the funniest, more original humor IMO, and no one was doing it to get paid (tho a few were able to pivot into internet celebrity-dom)

NFTs are smart contracts and as such come with automatically enforced terms. You can create a token which expires, useful for licensing. You can create a token which pays royalties to an artist with every sale. You can create smart financial instruments which are technically NFTs and which skip the regulation put on the financial industry to perform more risky investments, and even automate functions like profit sharing or paying off a bond. You can even develop various semi-fungible tokens that do all these things!

You can't do that with PGP. You'd need to run a bank to get most of that and some of that is illegal on a global level so even as a bank you'd have to dip outside the law. These are the real uses of NFTs, not artificial scarcity magic internet tokens associated with procedurally generated soulless art from templates made in paint over 5 minutes.

First, the best way to start a conversation is to inquire about the other person. Make them feel good by asking about them. In English, there is an acronym you can use (H-E-L-P) that has been around for a long time. Start a conversation with words that start with “H” first, like “health,” “home,” etc. And then move on to “E” words, etc. Have fun!!

On a sightly off-topic note, the last paragraph says:

> Anyway: that was the sole significant improvement in networking in Win98 that I am aware of. The other thing 98 could do was drive multiple monitors, if you had the right — that is, from an extremely limited selection — graphics cards. Otherwise, it was just 95B with more drivers and the odious Active Desktop built in.

Looking back I now see that the Windows 98's "Active Desktop" was the first "builtin bloat" to the Windows Family. That was the first step that started the long march to current hated things like Cortana.
Thanks for responding, to clarify:

It's a conceptual model and the abstraction is a computational system - as opposed to the current trend of Integrated Information Theory (IIT). Writing up seems to be the means to demonstrate for the time being. If I've misinterpreted please do correct me.

- IIT is exotic and complicated. Simply reducing the bounds of any problem IIT might be needed to explain may help. I'm absolutely suggesting a more conventional and therefore accessible logical abstraction can explain much of what we see.
- Perhaps analogous to 'you don't need blockchain or machine learning for that problem!'

The phrase 'bigger than one person' is also ambiguous - I simply meant in the volume of work required to demonstrate the scope of significance. Perhaps more specifically:

- How might an independent researcher find collaborators with related tangential special interests or experience?

I appreciate I may have said more than you're interested in, but thanks for the opportunity to respond.

Well, practically all adjectives in Spanish/Portuguese/French/Italian change depending on the grammatical gender of the noun they refer to. And, of course, if the noun in question is "I" (as in your case), then they reveal the (physical) gender of the speaker because usually

grammatical gender of a person == physical gender of that person

But compared to the differences in, e.g., Japanese that some people here are discussing, this seems rather minor.
Do you really need that much bandwidth between cpu and gpu? On a pc the the gpu has its own memory and the memory bandwidth of for example a 3070 is greater than the memory bandwidth of Xbox.

Would this demo not run on a pc?

I understand that pc hardware is more expensive but it was also my understanding that performance ceiling is actually much higher than consoles, especially after the next gen of pc hardware comes out after a console release.

It’s hard to tell how much more expensive a pc is because of console manufacturers’ loss leader accounting.

There is an avalanche of gig economy employee management and monitoring software (Teramind, ActivTrak, Ekran System, BrowseReporter, workpuls, Cerebral, monday.com, DeskTime, Time Doctor, etc). Many of these systems contain algorithms that surveil and manage workers. These tools eliminate much of the risk of outsourcing work to remote workers that cannot be directly supervised. They enable the remote workers by making them eligible for employment, and engineering a higher degree of trust into the relationship.
