Bitcoin can even be a base layer for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO)s. Take a look at bisq's DAO, built directly on top of bitcoin by using colored bitcoin for its BSQ governance token. Its been operating and paying for the software development (and project management and customer support) for bisq for over a year and a half. See https://bisq.network/dao/ for details.
I don’t think China is building the cables to prevent US incursions but to build/be a more “indipendent internet”, without using the *otherworld cables that they cannot have fully under control.
I am bitterly disappointed by Atlas Obscura in that respect. I really liked them before their GDPR malicious compliance dark pattern revealed themselves to be sketchy.

Docker is a tool prerequisite. For example, on a SELinux system, docker run -v $(pwd):/var/www will cause issues (because you need -v "$(pwd)":/var/www:z). Also, isn't -v deprecated?

What I'm highlighting is:

* The knowledge depth and time required on your part to maintain the text such that it works on all supported systems

* The fact that you're depending on a number of tools that might become obsolete quite fast, which might throw a wrench into your text.

** For example, Docker stops supporting CLI due to licensing. Linux splinters off to podman, Windows creates its own tool, macOS users will generally continue working with Docker. You'll then be forced to migrate to a different tool, like Vagrant.

Rather than create a text that's a "bring your own developer workstation", create a webpage that I pay $15 for monthly, you record a video explaining a concept, and then you have a button that says "spin up a lab for X". This throws me to a controlled environment, e.g. in AWS, where you tell me the exact steps that will achieve what I want to achieve.
I don't need cookies for this. However, AFAIK the GDPR doesn't just apply to cookies, it applies to any data retention, or at least anything that could be tied to an IP address or a certain user.

Maybe the key is to have stats that are purely anonymous, eg, how many people visited this page.
I wonder if this is what killed our beloved cat Eli. He was just dead one day laying in the doghouse, no apparent trauma of any kind. I can see the idiot show hog owning neighbor using a lot of baits like this.
It’s been a long while since I saw a POM file with unpinned dependencies… ca 12 years of Java experience. Had to deal with an Ant project recently that didn’t check in the JARs into Git, I thought my hair would become gray by the time I figure out how to pull the right dependency versions transitively to get the Ant build to work.

But I share the overall sentiment. What if Maven Central goes down one day? It’s just a web server like any other.
Not that I'm a fan but didn't npm resolve that problem right after? You can't yank entire packages anymore 24 hours after they're published
Simple answer: because it has no fundamental value. Crypto is not an equity or a claim of ownership. Thus the value is solely determined by market speculation. Gambling in crypto may be profitable but it is not an "investment."

Right, like Visual Studio and VS Code, which are completely separate products with vastly different use cases; named as if they were different versions of one thing, and in probably the most confusing way possible (Code? Isn't that what all IDEs are about?).

If I look around me - and I'm more at the bottom, at grassheight relative to billionaires and UHNWI in general on skyscrapers - I see a host of other immediate "longevity issues".

For one there is a substantial amount of people just trying get by and being like 50/50 on the choice of rather being dead already or trying to get through somehow 'till the next day, ad infinitum: from depressives who are stuck in a loop of ever growing void of meaningless in "wealthy" countries to factory workers serving as means to an end kept away from "jumping to termination" by saftey nets.
And of course those infamous 10% in absolute poverty which nowadays is more like a definition game by statisticians sponsored by the World Bank showing steady progress since the 1800s.

From a psychological point of view it becomes exponentially difficult to not have an inflated ego with more and more wealth. If I would win the lottery today my ordinary psyche would not be able to process it adequately, I would inevitably grossly overestimate my contribution to it, we are simply not finetuned to handle gigantic orders of probabilites.
So it comes off as a childish thing for most of us mere mortals trying to overcome your "lifetime" limitations without taking into account your environment the "soil of decaying and growing matter" in a biosphere going around an unimaginable ball of pure "fuel" in its dimension and age seperated by a vastness of nothingness in between.

At some point in the "success-intoxicated" linear chase of an ever increasing personal "lifetime" I would speculate that one would reach a critical point, a no point of return in which the sense of the self would ultimatley shatter, your (biographical) memories become obliterated beyond "recognition", so just another death-life cycle we are seeing and studying already in all life around us.

So, I would appreciate the more sober tone of just improving life in general like addressing immediate, mundane and unspectcular things like e.g. the wealth gap instead of playing on the reptilians chords of our brains by searching the "cure of aging" which kind of gives off a vibe of an coke head.
most people absolutely do not read documentation, imo you should need to pass a license exam to use certain substances like bromethalin
It is quite complicated but at least it feels like it’s finally heading in the right direction. I recently did a deep dive into WinUI3 and the Windows App SDK and finally they are separating these tools from the OS and making them available to packaged and unpackaged apps. I wouldn’t bother with any of the older approaches unless you have a reason to, as this is clearly the future.

Speaking of which, the reason your exe doesn’t open is because you’re likely building a packaged app. You can think of that like building and iOS/Android app where it comes with a bunch of extra metadata and hooks into the OS, but that means you can’t just launch the exe and it has to be installed using the new .msix installer format. Thankfully the Windows App SDK just added the ability to build unpackaged (I.e. classic win32 exe apps): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sd...

I have built and tested both approaches and they work well, though unpackaged apps aren’t able to use certain APIs that expect “package identity” (I.e that special metadata I mentioned above)
If you just want „hello world“, try tcl/tk. It’s the same as 20 years ago and a very simple language.

I build some simple GUIs for myself (ok, for Linux) and it was a perfect choice for that. Very stable language, relatively small, easy.

Python tkinter still went through the python2 to python3 storm and the unicode plague. So i hesitate to recommend that.

> Its results are permanent. In 2100, documents written in Office 365 or Adobe will be lost, but they’ll be able to recompile LibreOffice, Chrome (at least Webkit) or Wordpress. Benefits of OSS accrue over time, as opposed to closed-source software which is sold under closed license and DRM.

In practice, I think that only entirely cloud based ecosystems will be lost to time. As long as the requisite hardware can be emulated and there is an archived version of a local viewer, it's possible to interpret a closed source format document. People already do it with WordStar and retro games.
I'm happy to hear you got a lot of extra visitors and new apps created. I imagine that if you get a significant number of users you will be able to figure out which use cases are most popular and worth focusing on.

The real estate implementations are nice but to be honest the functionality provided right now by those templates don't seem sufficient to make many people willing to pay for it.

I'll be happy to have a chat with you about my experience in the sector and what sort of functionality could make your product interesting.

I found you on linkedin so I'll send you a connection request on there.
I think the web is not the answer to all. All I wanted to build was a native windows app. Not to mention that Electron apps (or zombie apps as some call them) are very resource intensive and bloated. It's basically running the entirety of Chrome to show a few HTML files.

Get out of the comfort zone and use an older computer and try run an Electron app.
I can't speak for other experienced programmers, but for me (28 years experience)... I could do all the things listed, but I would not finish any of them in less than an hour.
Best is a strong word. Just because something is popular does not mean it is the best. It is the cheapest/easiest (for developers), I have to agree.

You decide what cookies you want to store. No one needs to aks you and you dont need to comply with any nonsense someone puts up and "forces" you to read.
What was her concern about leaving a bad review?
I totally agree that this should be a browser setting.

However it’s not only about cookies: What we abusively call the cookie law and cookie popups are about tracking, and there are many ways to track you without cookies, some of which are not easily blocked by browsers.

Ideally the browsers would indicate the user’s preference via a headers (e.g. the DNT header) and websites would be constrained by law to obey that.
The Network is a utility. Historically the previous two iterations of the Network were treated that way, the Universal Postal Union and the Public Switched Telephone Network.

It's true that it's possible to live without access to the Network, people did up until the Treaty of Bern (in 1874) - it is also possible to live without access to electricity, or fresh water and people did that too, they're still utilities.
Would you mind documenting this claim, please?
I assume it's the online equivalent of arranging a store in such a way that your customers have to walk by as many potential impulse-buys as possible.
Does Borland Delphi 6/7 exe files run on Windows 11?

I seldom use Windows nowadays but I did try running the Delphi Ide a while back and it created a 100kb exe file and it was running just fine on Windows 10 with almost everything working including the embedded internet explorer and firefox.

Not sure if this helps your case but it can certainly be done if Delphi can still create exe files that run just fine.

Most of the US 3G will be off by the end of 2022. People should contact their wireless providers to get a timeline if they have a 3G phone. This would include people outside the US if they roam on that phone inside the US.
Fiction is evidence for trends in cultural thought. I did not say the wealthy will live in the clouds one day in the far future, I implied here and now we as a society produce fiction that dreams that this will be the future. It's indicative of how a subset of people around you actually feel based on their real world experiences.
Yes, I hate it when software that I thought was fully installed unexpectedly starts downloading more stuff when I run it.

What if I installed the software with the intention to run it without internet, or 5, 10 or 100 years in the future?

Well, it caches the packages... So only your CI system needs internet, or your PC the first time you ever publish.

And you can likely mention it as an explicit dependency in your csproj so that you can download it on first restore.
the same concerns have been raised for every technoogy ever
Yes, you are right. But there are people who trust npm (now and esp. in the future) and other free infrastructure and there are those who prefer to be a bit more self reliant after getting burned once.
They're also giving free e-training and certs until the end of the year. If you don't already know Oracle there's not much time to study, but if you do you can sit some remote exams for free
Android development also sucks.
Not necessarily. On Arch, npm isn't bundled with the node package.

Also, according to the official npm documentation, npm should be installed through nvm, thus having the ability to specify its version separately from node.

You can't, really. Analytics, and the type of compliance that comes with it, may be the responsibility of site operators, but it is usually never in the operators' wheelhouse. So instead of tailoring a solution for their specific sites, operators outsource this to an industry leader. The banners tell you little about the site operators, and a lot about the adjacent industry.
In turn, I would suggest not assuming that I haven't read the blog post.

"Σπαρτιάτης" is used in Greek (modern and ancient) to mean a (male) inhabitant
of a place called "Sparta". What the blog author claims is that there are _two_
words, one of which means free citizens of Sparta and the other, helots. He says
that one of those words is "Spartiate" and that the other is "Spartan".

This is a distinction that is impossible to make with a single word in Greek.
The words he uses, "Spartan" and "Spartiate" are two Latin transliterations of
the single Greek word "Σπαρτιάτης", that has one single meaning, as I explain it
above.

Furthermore, the distinction between free and enslaved inhabitans of Sparta is,
in all historical sources, made clear by using two words with different roots:
"Spartan" for the free citizens of the city, "helot" for the enslaved people of
the surrounding territories of the city-state. Nobody else than the author calls
one "Spartan" and the other "Spartiate". That's entirely the blog author's
made-up terminology.

So what I'm saying the blog author has made up is the distinct meaning of
"Spartan" and "Spartiate". I do not claim that he has made up the word
"Spartiate", as you seem to assume in your comment. Please correct me if I
misunderstood your comment, and not you mine.
I mean tell me how to make a UI on Linux? Mac has it somewhat more streamlined oddly enough.
Git also has "partial" clones, which can avoid some of the downsides of shallow clones. You can, for example, filter out all historical objects (--filter=blob:none). Historical objects are fetched lazily as needed, such as checking out an old revision. The same can be done with unreachable trees.

This article has excellent diagrams that depict the different types of clones:

I should've been paying my mother market rates. After all, she and my father have been running at a loss for this whole "family" enterprise.

IMO, open source is (or should be seen as) more of a "friends and family doing favours for each other" kind of human activity. Some people do it for the sheer joy of it, share without expectation of more than a "thank you" (at max), and calling their work valueless is just crass marketism.

As somebody that does not speak or read Chinese I am surprised that a simpler script has not been developed and widely used. Is it fast to read? I can understand to an extent if reading speed is at par with simpler alphabetic or phonetic scripts. But surely writing speed must be slower. How do chinese people even type?
They seem to agree with the premise (``[Nast] created the modern image of Santa Claus''):

``The cartoonist Thomas Nast established the bounds for Santa Claus' current look with an initial illustration in an 1863 issue of Harper's Weekly, as part of a large illustration titled "A Christmas Furlough".''
No, they aren't thinking "my case is different," they are expecting the market to be flooded with ineffective products marketed as "safe alternatives." Because it is. They are grasping at any piece of information they can find to fight the overwhelming tidal wave of ineffective non-solutions.
The abstract of the paper sounds like this isn't actually a counterclaim, it is only a questioning of the claim being made. The author isn't saying that the Spartans didn't systematically "kill weak babies." She is saying there doesn't appear to be much evidence that they did, and given evidence that it wasn't common in general in ancient Greece, the claim is suspect.
I agree with what you said, but I was wondering about a little detail you mentioned:

> The average person visits thousands of websites every year.

Is this true? Is there any data that would back this? A commonly used argument comes to my mind, that for most internet users the internet is about a handful sites...
> If you want a single-file exe that's a bit more advanced and requires a few properties in the csproj.

This. This is what's wrong. Why is single-file exe "a bit more advanced". In early 2000s Delphi could build a single file exe in seconds, and that was the default behaviour.

What changed since early 2000s that having an exe is a) advanced and b) requires manually fiddling with some unspecified properties in the abomination that is a csproj file?
Meaning that Log4J is certainly not the only library to have the problem, maybe the one with the larger footprint, what about JSP ?
The issue is uneven distribution. While the world fertility rate is trending toward a moderate population decline starting mid century, this will be mostly driven by extreme declines in specific areas rather than a gradual decline everywhere. There are many developed countries are projected to lose more than half of their populations by 2100 using current estimates. That alone is a major problem for policymakers but what's worse, those estimates have been consistently underestimating the severity of the decline in number of births. In predicting future demographics, there have been longstanding assumptions that the birth rates of countries that fall significantly below replacement will eventually recover. This does not appear to be true, at least on timescales which would appear during any of our lifetimes. Instead, fewer kids reduces social pressure to have kids and results in fewer community resources available to parents (schools, playgrounds, etc). This further reduces the fertility rate.
You can see this in countries like South Korea[1] which are seeing rapidly shrinking elementary school populations and have been closing lots of schools as a result.

South Korea, always the overachiever, is down to a total fertility rate of 0.82 this year with that expected to fall below 0.8 next year. To put that into perspective, in a country without significant immigration, if that rate were sustained you would come to a point where the country would lose ~85% of its population every two generations. That's an extreme example, almost to the point of absurdity, but even so it sort of illustrates the problem. To support the ever increasing number of old people, policy makers can either A) Accept much higher levels of immigration (unpopular) or B) Increase the tax burden on the fewer and fewer working young people (which will probably decrease fertility even further). Even if we assume option C exists (no immigration but replace all workers with robots) you're still looking at a situation in many countries where the actual human population of the country is reduced by >90% within one human lifetime. While countries like the U.S. won't be hit quite as hard by this, the trends are pretty clear. Younger generations are having a fraction of the number of kids older generations had[2] and this trend will continue to accelerate in the near term.

I have not accepted them. Thank you advertisers and legislators for destroying the web! People seem to just click accept on those banners. And. it. sucks!

It's alienating me from the web, and I avoid it more and more. Sucks that our society relies on it so much, so one is effectively forced to use it.

I will use email, IRC, and Emacs for coding, as much as I can. The rest sucks. Sucks to be me.

Thanks for asking.
Sort of. But not an embedded browser. And .NET instead of JS.

There are some promising developments with Blazor and .NET MAUI. But it all seems too speculative to build on at this point.
"Because npm.com is such vital infrastructure, it unlikely that it would ever stop working."

Except that is has? It's a service, like everything else on the internet, it can and will go down. The choice here is whether you can carry on, or wait until it comes back up. THAT is the main benefit I see in this. (Not everybody wants to manage a local copy/proxy/internal NPM registry etc)
