No way Russia is going to be a major trading partner for Scandinavia as long as Putin (or similar) is in power. They keep pulling political stunts with their exports, making them too unreliable for most businesses.

It’s not a coincidence that Russia is only around the 15th largest trading partner for Sweden.

I did not inspect the code, but I did played it for a little. The most challenging part for me so far is to remember to periodically poke the mouse so screenlocker won't kick in.
The problem with technical debt is, in my experience anyway, that decisions have such a delayed impact that it's difficult for a group of people to understand cost and benefit. To work with the example you gave: You can tell that losing 60% of engineering staff didn't have a negative short term impact. How about 5-10 years later? How fast can the org move at that time vs if they had more staffing and less technical debt?

The whole idea behind the concept is that it _can_ be a good business decision to reduce spending (i.e. new features) and focus on paying off your (technical) debt for a while. It might as well be more important to make progress in the short term, no matter the cost. But the important point is that it's not a technical decision, it's a business decision. And the whole metaphor of technical debt is just one way of moving the conversation to that level.
Damn, I'm really sorry to hear you went through all that.

The amount of anxiety I've had to _accept_ treatment into my life is because of stories like this. It's been a different though helpful journey for me, but also a lot of questioning, self tracking (to have some reassurance of a change in state over long periods of time), and a little experimentation.
I'm using Kodi since several years for the family TV. I only had to tinker with the streaming buffer for YouTube, other than that it required no maintenance.

My wife can use it from her mobile. We can play movies for our kids or stream a YouTube-clip. I'm using a Firefox-addon to cast clips from my browser to Kodi. That's about it, no killer app, just convenient digital media on an old, dumb TV.

Only I'd wish Yatse was ported to iOS (Unless my wife's iPhone dies soon).
Kodi is an absolute godsend!

My living room main stack is Rpi+Libreelec+Kodi, it works wonderfully and it's my main way to consume media: video, music, inet radio and youtube.

I use the TV remote to control it via CEC in conjuction with the Yatse Remote app which gives me better control and allows me to do even more.

It's great.
anyone knows if there is equivalent of tsserver(used in language server protocol) in swc or esbuild?
> when it does come back their senses are all messed up and what used to taste great now tastes terrible.

From what I've read, even that goes back to normal after a while. From my own experience, that's exactly what happened. I couldn't smell or taste anything for around 3 weeks, then coffee tasted like rotten bananas for around two months and ultimately everything went back to normal. I guess I got lucky on the other symptoms like tiredness and being short of breath, because I never had those to begin with.
agreed. Rust has a warning for unused items, which is indeed interesting to catch logic errors (variables that should be used, but aren't). No need to fail compilation for this. It is then on you to deny warnings in CI to ensure that they are all handled before the code actually lands
The current set of movies wouldn't be possible without thousands of years of myths, legends, stories and other fiction that was in public domain when these movies were made. Are you willing to pay countries royalties for their myths and legends.
>when the clip works fine

The clip is a hack. And it also does assume there's a diode to protect the board from back-feeding power, or else you have to turn on the board and do it warm, which has its own issues.

When the flash chip isn't socketed, it would cost literally nothing to provide the footprint for a programming header. Just SPI on a header.

That there isn't one is pretty much the middle finger to their customers.

>It's also an extra cost added to millions of units which maybe 1-10 customers will ever actually make use of. It's just cheaper to offer a program to mail the boards in to be flashed.

Negligible cost for just a header, even less so for a footprint.

It's not about these 1-10 customers, but about local repair shops (or any friendly tech guy) being able to do this. Much better than a mailback.

Have you heard of https://dion.systems/ that was linked here recently?
They are working towards going away from text as the source format.

It remains to be seen whether or not it is a good idea and/or if it will succeed if it is.

> (1)

I guess in something like Dion, you have a source format that doesn't allow syntax errors, since you are not editing something that can be in an invalid state (necessarily).
Wholesale prices (at least in the US, not sure internationally) are determined by the highest bid for generation, so this depends on the cost structure of the highest cost generators.
I think the headstrong tribalism has been around forever. The difference is that now it's being headstrong about matters that are both life & death and unavoidable in daily life.

Somebody the vehemently believes that the rapture is coming and the Earth is 3,000 years old rarely gets a reason to punch anyone over such beliefs.

Trump publicly announcing that he got a booster made me respect him more. He could have (and politically should have) kept silent.
And so few nukes are built because capital costs are awful. It is hard to imagine any way out.

I have been trying to understand nuke construction economics. Ultimately, it seems tied to our mode of government: for any entity smaller than the Feds to pull together the $billions for a nuke project takes enlisting a huge patronage network, who must then be ladled gravy. Most of the cost is not construction, as such, but gravy, disguised. It stretches to a decade and beyond because the moment it's finished, the gravy dries up. No one actually involved wants that ever to happen, not even if the stalling makes no one ever want to start another project like it.

So, a nuke plant is like a bullet train or urban transit tunnel. The Feds might be able to build a nuke plant, but every detail of the industry, what there is of it, is tuned to extracting gravy, which I doubt even the Feds could overcome (presuming they would want to).

An incremental nuke that grows in 100 MW units, and produces power very early, might work, adding capacity continually. (But turbines want economy of scale.) Or, a nuke to provide process heat for a cluster of industrial plants in the daytime, commissioned and managed by them, but generating regional power overnight. But the well seems too toxic.

The purely incremental nature of solar, wind, and batteries leaves little room for corruption, making them tough competition. With HVDC transmission cost falling and efficiency rising, whoever builds out cheapest can prop up everybody for a thousand miles around.

The thing about nukes is that the heat driving it seems free, but heat is pretty cheap. The cost of turning heat into power, and all the complications, dominates.
Chairs are also brought up in philosophical debacles: http://steve-patterson.com/no-chairs-do-not-exist/

The point seems to be close to what you describe, but not entirely: "chair" is a human-made label, assigned to physical objects in the real world, but it's too abstract. Lots of objects resembling a chair or named "chair" exist, each with their own peculiarities, features, identity, but that's just humans going around, marking stuff with an invisible label maker.

As someone who sees pirating as civil disobedience, I would like to respectfully disagree.

Disney (and friends) spend the GDP of a small country to ensure that my entire life is surrounded by their products and enshrined themselves in international treaties to ensure that it will remain so. I could stop consuming their media, which would require me to withdraw from 90% of all movies and music that my friends and family want to watch, which whether I like it or not is what I would call "my culture".

I don't think this is fair, specially considering that I had no say in this state of things and that changing it would require me to essentially mobilize my entire nation against the foreign interests of the USA.

I don't expect everyone to agree with this point of view, but to call it "intellectually dishonest" feels to me like an unnecessary agression. If anything, I would counterargue: expecting people to either pay a toll to access their culture or to to become "cultural monks" is what's truly wrong, especially when there's an alternative that literally favors the interests of people over corporations.
They also suck at walking and talking so by that logic that's not natural as well ?
Thanks a lot! That looks like a good small collection of resources!
How’s that saying go? Just cause you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you?

Social media is next level. It enables front row access to: social graphs, voice print, biometric data, subversive content promotion. Mental health with bullying, it’s extremely pervasive with the connectedness afforded by 24/7 networked pocket computers that have cameras. Sexting and revenge porn is a thing.

Interesting, I would have imagined there being an exemption to the driver's license age in small towns.

Looks like there are moped licenses available at 16 but those licenses also allow these converted 'tractors'.
Well, the question is : why are they the worst ?

At least a driver with a license have been officially trained with security in mind.

Those EPA drivers are, actually, teenagers trained by their teenagers friends. It’s normal for teenagers to underestimate risks and dangers.

That’s basically why a licence is needed to drive : not to explain you how to control a car (that’s a rather simple skill) but how to act on the shared road.
One of 'the most' fun and pleasure to work with stack is FreeBSD ecosystem for me.

After switching from Linux both on desktop/laptop and servers I really got comfortable and fun on FreeBSD. Of course its has its ups and downs - like everything in life - but after using FreeBSD for about 16 years now I know one thing - this is the OS that sucks the LEAST from all of them.

Augustus: A Novel, by John Edward Williams
It sounds like it fits one very specific scenario: a coder and designer(that had made all their work in AE) working together and the coder can now dodge the tedium of programming animations.

However I prefer Hype (from Tumult) because it’s found that middle ground in simplicity while still being able to integrate real-world web. For that reason a designer(or coder really) can pick up Hype and not need anyone else. It reminds me a little of Flash, but the underpinning technology is javascript.

For example in Hype it’s straight forward to build animated and compliant html5 google ads. That’s something a designer can do all on their own without any coding, the entire process is contained to that one app. Similarly a designer can make a fully animated reactive website and not need to touch code at all.

Also Hype is $50 once. AE is either $240 per year or part of the Adobe creative cloud subscription which is around $600 per year.
Ahah I was expecting more hype in see an article about Molise =)

"Europe" is a name of Phoenician origin, much older than Christianity. It was already old when Classical Greece was young.

A lot of the modern confusion stems from the tendency of EU to refer to itself as "Europe" (see: European Council, European Central Bank, European Parliament etc.)
Phone apps (and the mobile OSs they run on) have a very limited support lifetime. What phone apps from even a decade ago still run if unmaintained? Or are even available?

No non-disposable hardware should ever depend on a phone app, lest it become equally disposable.

All my electronics and computers from the 80s and 90s run just fine today! In great part because they don't depend on anything.

Electronics from the 2020s are unlikely to be usable in the 2060s simply due to unnecessary dependencies, even if the hardware itself is totally fine. Don't buy things like that.
Seems reasonable. After all, no one will believe it except the true believers. You might even get away with giving it 5 stars after “received this for no charge in exchange for an honest and unbiased review” which would be rather fun.
> For MWI, the wavefunction is real and the grooves are real worlds that evolve in parallel, and the particles don't have any independent existence. In Bohmian mechanics, the particles are real and follow a law of motion described by the wave function, but the latter doesn't have any physical existence.

Obviously I'm coming at this from a partisan perspective, but that really does seem like more postulates - either you calculate your wavefunction evolution and predict your experimental results from that or you calculate that same wavefunction evolution, calculate your particle state ensemble from that, and then predict your experimental results from that.

> I don't think that's correct. To my knowledge, distributions conforming to the Born rule [1] are guaranteed in all but highly anomalous initial configurations, akin to how thermodynamics ensure that entropy always increases except again, in highly anomalous initial configurations.

I tried to skim through the 60 page paper but couldn't find the part you're claiming. Most modern presentations of Bohmian mechanics take the probability rule as a postulate. Bohm did initially present it with a statistical fluctuation and dynamical evolution argument, but most people find that unsatisfactory, and you can (and people do!) make the same argument in an Everett-style many worlds setting as well. (Admittedly people tend to find it even less convincing in a probability-branches setting than a particles-following-a-probability-distribution setting, but I suspect that's an artifact of similarity to classical thermodynamics rather than because it's objectively more plausible there).

The US military invests a lot of R&D in their MREs, and they have improved monotonically over the decades. Even a few decades ago they were actually pretty decent, aside from a couple famous outliers. A couple of the meals invariably are a total miss, and everyone avoids them, but that feedback gets back to the R&D center and they try something different.

Having the best possible food in the field, under the circumstances, is viewed as critical for morale as a matter of doctrine by the US military and they invest a lot in it. Soldiers, in turn, are pretty creative at getting the most out of the MRE contents.

In some parts of the world, MREs are recognized as currency.

> The government's proper role is to prevent people from using force on each other. It is not forcing things that the government imagines are good for people on them.

I don't think you can necessarily separate those two things from one another so simply, except in the most extreme of examples.

> For example, I believed for decades the advice from the government that margarine was better for me than eggs. That turned out to be backwards.

I'm just going to assume you chose a bad example here. There's no force at play, you're free to choose your thing, you can even have both at the same time. Freedom!

Given the prominent role that Russia played in European history since the 17th century I find it really annoying to rule it out of Europe just because it wasn't in the American side of the cold war.

Russia is definitely part of the Western civilization by any means if you don't limit this definition to what happened during the second half of the twentieth century… What on earth would make Russia less part of “Western civilization” than Slovakia or Greece?!

I think thats the rub these days. With such an impressive mountain of free and indeed proprietary software, the money is going to be mostly in how you glue it together to solve a problem for a
business. Getting something in a low number of bytes is not rewarded when gigabytes of storage are so cheap.

To create something that doesn’t fir this mould has to be more like a “recurse centre” project - a labour of love you have to finance yourself.

I don't know any website that uses facebook as its only way to authenticate. I never use the usual suspect for authentication, always choose the regular account option tied to an email address. That is what password managers are for anyway.
No, that’s not what it means. It means that comparing the absolute numbers of people infected in both groups - vaccinated people and unvaccinated people - or even the percentage of the total number of infections is not valid. You need to take the ratio of people infected relative to the group size.
Authy is a good choice if you want to multiple devices, e.g. mobile and desktop. It is rather easy to add a new device or to make a backup.

Password managers, as 1Password, do offer 2FA. For those password managers that have free versions this is sometimes a paid add-on. Using password manager also for 2FA can be a little bit risky, but you can also use password manager only for storing 2FA or even use two password managers (one for 2FA, other one for passwords).

Yes, users can misuse warnings by ignoring them in CI, but the ergonomic cost of forcing unused variables as errors is disproportionate in regard to this. This affects all users regardless of if they would deny warnings in CI, and leads to either removing/adding some code repeatedly so it compiles at all, or worse adding fake uses, defeating the purpose of the warning. I am using C++ with -Werror during development because it is the only way to keep my sanity (functions not returning a value in C++ is a warning), but it is an ergonomic disaster that I am happy to avoid when using Rust (where the right place to deny warnings is in CI).

I would agree that forcing uninitialised variables as errors is a design mistake.

I'm not a fan of the usual uses of S-expressions in data formats, but for quite the opposite reasons. People seem to have a thing for making up new syntax, so you can't just throw a normal S-expression parser at the problem, and be done with it. For example, the wasm2ps reader [1] has to know how to read a comment in the WebAssembly text format. I decided to leave the project at handling integer instructions and control flow only, as there are other oddities like using a single atom for alignment and offsets in load and store instructions [2]. Some people I've talked to wished that people would stop inventing ad-hoc syntaxes, and just use S-expressions or something. Using S-expressions but adding more ad-hoc syntax gives you the worst of both options.

While admittedly less of a problem for implementation, it is also annoying to see lists with dangling parens on their own lines, and symbols with underscores or camelCase in the names, once you are used to the normal way of formatting Lisp code.

Well, if you want an example, I have about about a dozen PM and CO₂ sensors spread around the apartment, and some outside of it. I live in an extremely polluted area and it allows me to make decisions on when it's (relatively) safe to open windows (or even inside doors if it's really bad outside).

PM 2.5 may be in the range of a couple micrograms/m³ in one room (with air purification) and 100× that in the other adjacent room, so it makes sense to have sensors everywhere.

Still very far from 50, though.
