I'm fine with the limitations, and like the idea of a self-contained plugin that does not phone home. And in my experience, Cardinal is already very solid and feature-complete, even in its beta form.

But one could absolutely imagine a system where you can share setups that use modules that may or may not be available. For instance, you can build, save and share combinators in Reason that use non-standard REs.

A big part of this service is AWS helping you navigate the paperwork minefield that is involved with beaming data down from space. You need agreements with the FCC equivalent in all the countries that you’ll be beaming data down to. After that you’re basically renting fractional time on Amazon’s equipment for sending and receiving data via a global network of ground stations.

On the space portion, companies often rent a partial payload on other satellites with a timeshare agreement for booting up their bits and using the antennas to beam things down/up.

You are correct, the NT kernel did not allow direct IO access from user space - but there was a commonly used trick of using a small driver (the original one named giveio.sys) that manipulated the IOPL of the TSS through some undocumented kernel functions.

I think the opposite. Usually a short (sub 2 years) tenure at a company means they're on the chopping block, bonuses didn't come through, refreshers weren't granted, stock options didn't continue, etc.

In the event that it does not work, two things are very likely true.
1) it was a really dumb mistake. 2) you will notice immediately and can fix the mistake.

The idea that everything must be caught by the compiler is narrow-minded and ultimately can't be achieved. Stop worrying about hypothetical problems that aren't problems in practice. There are enough real problems to work on.

This is basic consensus protocols, so it requires one person to "write" while the other does not. Each variation requires each person to randomly select if they will be the writer and then confirm that with the other person. Here are my solutions without reading theirs first (Edit: I finished reading and it looks like we pretty much agree):

Main puzzle: "On each following turn, we will flip a coin and randomly choose to send a message either with a color or 'null'. If either person receives a color message when they did not send one themselves, then we both announce that color on the next turn. Confirm you agree with the strategy on your next turn, as well as sending a color or null".

Alternation variation: This one is actually easier, if I know I'm player one. I simply send a message that says "I am player one, announce the color red on turn three, and confirm you will comply on round 2". Then when they confirm, send a third message that says "announce the color red".

Collision variation: Send the same message as in the main puzzle, but flip a coin first to determine if you send a message at all.

Pigeon variation: There isn't enough information. Will I know when it is my turn again, or is that part of the lost information? Either way, I will start each message with "This is my message for turn 1, please number your reply as 'message 2'" and then use the same message as the alternation variation, repeating my message until I get their message 2 reply, and then I will send message three saying "announce the color red" and will do the same. Presumably there would be an arbiter to collect our round three announcements.

Based on copyright laws. Here in Poland you can even download a copyrighted movie or a song as long as you don't distribute it; you can't however use any software without a license that lets you do it. The GPL licenses explicitly do ("This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program.").

GPL is actually kind of a special case when it comes to licenses since it mostly cares about redistribution in order to implement its copyleft mechanism, but generally licenses are tools used to give users permission to use the software under specified conditions. Without a license (written or verbal), there's no permission to do anything whatsoever.

You may be confusing it with using a self-modified copy of code under GPL. Since GPL only cares about sharing the modified source with actual users, you won't have to share your modifications with anyone as long as you remain the only user of that modified work.
Would this work?

Toss a coin

- If heads, say: "I am waiting to see what you say and if you suggested a strategy compatible with a colour to coordiate on, I will follow this coordination, otherwise I will toss a coin and next term will do [[insert entire strategy from 'Toss a coin']]"

- If tails, say: "lets coordinate on red next turn, unless you have suggested something that is not compatible with this red, in which case next turn I will do [[insert entire strategy from 'Toss a coin']]"

If you cant see the comparision then I guess you just cant see it. Not everyone is cut out for it, there are free thinkers and sheeple.
The other party can do the same, but describing a slightly different strategy. How would you decide whose strategy to use?

In order to agree on a colour, you first must agree on a strategy.

In order to agree on a strategy, you first must agree on a strategy to choose the strategy.

I wrote my first grad student website in raw HTML. In Vi, on a Unix mainframe, over SSH.

I watched the Jamstack talk and I dont think Rich quite grasp why some people are against SPA.

The first thing being, 95% of what I do on the web doesn't need to be an SPA. Most of what I do is content consumption. HN doesn't need to be SPA. NewsReading doesn't need to be an SPA.

The second thing being once you allowed developers of SPA, and break free of the browser default usage pattern, there are very few SPA I have used that I even considered to be decent. Actually there is only one, Feedly. And yes, as pointed out in the video, even instagram cant do the basic right. Not Facebook web, and not Twitter. Look at new Reddit.

The problem with SPA is once you try to make a Web App, aka Reddit, I will instantly try to compare it with a Native App. And I have yet to see a single decent Web App that compares to "average" native app. It is far easier to make a very decent MPA with added magic like HTMX or Hotwire than a decent SPA.

The third being transitional design. Which is a compromise or taking best of both worlds. Interestingly HTMX or Hotwire are also considered as Transitional, since they try to make the those web page that needs a little more interactively without switching to SPA.

There are some things that are better for SPA, so far most them for me tends to be financial tools and graph based.

One argument for SPA is that your backend is just an API, your front end could now work not only in browser but even compiled natively into Apps. But so far none of them worked flawlessly across all platform without a team of expert.

And for simplicity, PHP is still by far the best in modern web backend tool kit. I am not advocating for PHP, I hate the syntax but other than that it is dead simple to use and set up. Considering both Hotwire / HTMX with Django and SPA camp with Svelte just shows how little the vocal web developer community value simplicity.

> Otherwise, which framing would you prefer?

There's no reasonable way to choose between the two framings. They are both obviously important. An accurate and purely quantitative utilitarian conversion of human suffering into USD is obviously beyond any reasonable assumption on the bounds of human rationality. A purely non-economic assessment ignores the possibility of real zero-sum tradeoffs caused by hard bounds on productive capacity.

Almost all economic activity is not zero-sum. Contrary to the intuitions of household budgets, at the scale of an economy operating over the timeframe of a generation, spending a dollar on X probably doesn't actually mean taking a dollar away from Y, especially if the productive/extractive inputs to X and Y are very different.

Therefore, it's more about finding a (necessarily vague & qualitative) exchange rate between the two. But at the order of $60K/yr in costs, I think that conversation is moot. Let's say retirees produce half of that value -- a grossly conservative estimate. That means we value "all the rest" at $30K/yr, which is prime facie absurdly low (what does a new SUV cost these days? How many "SUV new car feel vs. Corolla new car feel" units of happines equals the units of unhappiness caused by lung cancer? You get the point.).

If the number were $6M or even possibly $600K then the resource allocation question becomes more reasonable because there we approach the realm of starting to consider real zero-sum tradeoffs in what is possible. But at $60K with 50% to >100% offset, the number becomes too small to worry about the exchange rate. At most, in a pathologically broken system, we might, possibly, be discussing what we choose to do (not what is actually possible at minimal sacrifice). But it's not even clear to me that this is true in the US!

So, the framing seems silly, because once you do the work to figure out how to properly compare two radically different things you arrive at the conclusion that $60K is an order of magnitude away from forcing any sort of actual zero-sum resource allocation decisions.

Does that make sense?

Finally. I am so happy someone else noticed how much of a garbage fire Twitter is when you limit (not even block) JavaScript.

I use uMatrix and a hardened Firefox profile so I notice pretty quickly if websites are poorly made. Spoiler: the vast majority are, and the big players like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc. are absolutely the worst offenders.

But Twitter is so frustrating because of exactly what the article's author says: they re-invent everything, including the text in the Tweet box. As soon as you start typing a tweet it gets converted into some horrific swamp of HTML elements which starts to break really fast if you limit JS as I do.

At some point the concept of "graceful degradation", which used to be taught as an essential part of high-quality web development, was totally abandoned.

I feel like I'm transitioning into "old man yells at cloud" more and more every day, but the web's going down the shitter real fast.
Thanks for the "education". Your claim of my "ignorance" essentially insults my entire existence. I can guarantee that I personally know a fuck-tonne more about this issue than you ever can.

For your education, look up the several videos of holocaust survivors, and those who lives through other oppressive dictatorships, speaking out against what they perceive as a present-day repeat of exactly the conditions that lead to those horrors.

For example, any recent interview with Vera Sharav or any recent speech/press conference by Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes. (And if you don't find YT serving those up go to bitchute or odysee.)

And do bear in mind please, that one of the defining characteristics of the path to this level of societal degredation, is precisely that the majority of people at the time do not believe it could possibly be happening, and mock those who say it is, whilst simultaneously encouraging their silencing and censorship.

I don't really get why the positive test rate is not supposed to have gone up significantly with availability of at home tests.

I'd consider it the difference between answering this question with "I don't have any" and "I have atheism"

I would do it in Python. Since you think you can do that faster and will have time leftover, you can spend some time when it's finished figuring out what needs to run faster. If it's critical enough that it really needs to go faster, propose a 2nd project. My guess is, it will be fine.
Because dirt exists all over the world all clothes are in need of washing at some point (or not worn I suppose). Confronting sin, temptation, immorality whether you want to look at it from a religious perspective or secular, is part of the human condition. No human can live a life and not be confronted with jealousy, anger, greed, pride or if you don't like the Christian undertones fill in whatever you think of as a sin. We all confront the same questions.

And to the first point, as Chesterton says you don't need to accept any religious answer at all. As he says, the theodicy question, how the existence of manifest evil can be reconciled with a benevolent god, has driven countless of people away from faith, not to it. And he says that's fine, but you can't pretend it doesn't exist.
In what way does it feel different and why does this difference suggest a higher probability of truth?
I feel like we haven't even standardized a lot of notation to express ideas in common use...talking about the future of notation is strange as people seem to just invent them as they go and there is no committee that steers this discussion.

As an Atheist, I recently started reading religious texts of all Abrahamic religions(Judaism , Islam and Christianity) as well as Dharmic ones such as Buddhism. Why? Because I have always been curious about religion yet always discarded it as "bronze age superstition" as Christopher Hitchens would describe it..

Thanks to this journey, I ended up meeting a lot of great people in the community. Without exception, everyone welcomed me as an outsider and politely answered all my questions. I have been to mosques, synagogues and churches during hours of prayers and other events to observe and learn and so my network has grown by a decent size which I'm grateful of.

I think overall the result has been a net positive in my life and has broadened my understanding of history, philosophy and art. I haven't necessarily "settled" in a particular camp but I no longer brush off the idea of worshiping a God. I think one can make the distinction between _radical_ religious dogma and having a holy house of worship.

Having done lots of introspection over the past year, I don't think subscribing to Atheism is healthy because in your happiest moments or your darkest moments of despair, you have no spiritual basis to fall back on, you have no way structure way of burying the dead or celebrating the joining of a couple in a ceremonial way. Further, all Atheists still celebrate Christmas, or Easter , all of which are religious holidays and are completely meaningless to them which is ironic..

As an Atheist you also have to make up your "subjective" morality (and who is to say one's sense of moral is superior to another? there are no basis for this) which is again ironically borrowed from religious teachings. Finally Atheism fails to answer the deepest questions we have which is Why is there something instead or nothing and why are we here?

Thus considering the above, I can confidently say that my views on spiritually and religion has shifted significantly.
