> Aside from the fact that DJB barely specified redo to the point where you could make accusations claiming it did or did not do something, I think there are implementations of redo which are capable of fitting the requirements you specify.

You're not wrong, and I think DJB did get there. However, there's a difference between the Unix way of designing a system out of disparate pieces working together (something DJB is good at and tends to do) and designing a cohesive whole system.

Obviously, redo is the former. My build system will be the latter, and I am doing it that way (despite being a fan of the Unix way in general) in an attempt to 1) hopefully make a build system that the masses actually like, 2) make it easier to make it work on Windows from the start, and 3) a cohesive whole build system is a much better platform for implementing hermetic builds.

(There are a bunch of smaller reasons, such as separating file targets and non-file targets, but all of those reasons are details.)

So yes, you are absolutely correct that redo can do everything I mentioned, and I guess that's an L for me. I should have mentioned other features as well.

> 1. Redo doesn't give you the tools to have dynamic dependencies for example, but it also doesn't concern itself with those and doesn't prevent you from having them. I have a small project which has dynamic dependencies (not system dependencies but just configuration options) and handles them gracefully with redo (without ever needing a make clean).

That's not quite what I envision when I say "dynamic dependencies" (my build system will also have configuration, but the config changing will not use dynamic dependencies), but yes.

However, at least in the TFA redo, dynamic dependencies (or simulating them) can be awkward. [1]

> 2. Flexible file stamps are something which you can implement on some redo implementation using a combination of redo-always and redo-stamp.

Correct. And I should have mentioned that. But again, DJB did that in an indirect way, making the system "finicky" (in my opinion).

> 3. The targets and build scripts being turing complete is something which redo doesn't specify but that is the intentional use of redo.

Yeah, no argument there.

> That being said, I think there is a place for something even more BASIC than redo which can be used more directly to implement what you've described while also being flexible enough to build redo on top of. It has given me things to think about.

Well, I don't think going even more basic is good here. Hermetic builds are just too good to pass up, and that requires some complexity.

>Buy all your engineers an arduino kit with sensors and blinkylights and motors.

I would love this.

I mean, it's basically what my job is (write code to make hw do blinky stuff - gross simplification, but yeah...) anyway, but I would find getting that to be really cool. Of course, my SO would just see it as yet more HW taking up residence here (I'm remote and my company sends me all sorts of HW that I need).
If the value gets low enough the network won't even work and you can't transfer them. Either no miners or else mining difficulty gets so low that there's no security.
“Rather than focus on what their kids are actually reading, these parents often take their lead from social media pages and conservative organizations that list which books to target and provide talking points, as well as screenshots of school library catalogs. Parents’ outrage may be genuine, but their actions create an even more hostile environment for already marginalized kids.”

Crowdsourcing our outrage like this is a hugely destructive behavior, and yet it’s one that both “teams” engage in regularly. News sources on both sides are in the business of telling you what will make you engage the most, and usually that’s whatever makes you the angriest. You really do need to look into things for yourself. When you do you’ll often find that there’s way more nuance there than you thought, no matter how straightforward the original reporting seemed to be. If you can’t spare the time to do that, you have no business engaging in activism pertaining to that topic.
I dunno - my experience using Instagram is that it is radically worse these days. The mobile app doesn't show a chronological feed, doesn't even show me everyone I follow, every 7-8th image is a sponsored ad, they relentlessly push reels which I have no interest in watching into my feed, etc. Even the upload process - which was their huge selling point originally - is slowly becoming more frictional.

You get more of the thing, but you don't necessarily get so much more of it that it outweighs the benefit of having incidentally induced it.

Using a corner case of behavior to justify systemic suppression of otherwise rational behavior just perpetuates the cycle of pain. Welfare royalty exist. But not nearly in numbers high enough to ethically justify hamstringing the system.
OK Thanks,

My current idea is to invert the network connections and use the wireless to connect the RPi to my internal internet connection and the wired connection to serve out the internet to my neighbors. The main reason for this is the tp-link WIFI antenna I got for Xmas comes with a POE injector which will make outdoor installation much easier and I am assuming it will have an increased range over the built-in Rpi WIFI.

I found this Git which seems to go over the process of setting up a standard capture portal which after setting up, I am hoping will be fairly easy to swap the device IDs to achieve my goal.

It's clear that Will has rubbed you the wrong way by his responses in this thread, but when you call out someone's professional conduct linked to their business in public forum words matter.

Lead generation into Amazon affiliate links are not a sponsorships.

His business makes money off of affiliate links, not sponsorships. There is a difference. Both could carry a bias, but a sponsorship is significantly more suspect than an Amazon affiliate program. For another example, see Wirecutter, also funded by affiliate links, but (until recently post NYT buy out issues) a pretty respected review site. Personally, I generally wouldn't buy anything off the recommendation of a YouTube sponsorship. I would consider buying something that had an affiliate link.

Feel free to let me know if I missed a sponsorship disclaimer.

Here is the disclaimer his website.

FAA delays completion of Starship environmental review
180k/4 years so 45k. To some that's a bonus, for many in the valley that's just typical yearly stock fluctuation's impact on your compensation. It depends on what the rest of their comp is. It also depends on how totally underpaid some of them may be.

Tossing made up numbers, if this takes them from 500 to 545, great but smaller rate than 100-145. However if they're highly valued and only making 145 something else is wrong.
To be fair to Mr. Taleb, he does mention the technology argument at the very end of his paper in the conclusion - although his counterargument is very much a handwave.
"The customary standard argument is that "bitcoin has its flaws but we are getting a great technology; we will do wonders with the blockchain". No, there is no evidence that we are getting a great technology — unless "great technology" doesn’t mean "useful". And at the time of writing —in spite of all the fanfare — we have done still close to nothing with the blockchain.

So we close with a Damascus joke. One vendor was selling the exact same variety of cucumbers at two different prices. "Why is this one twice the price?", the merchant was asked. "They came on higher quality mules" was the answer.

We only judge a technology by how it solves problems, not by what technological attributes it has."
Feds cannot prosecute someone for murder if it’s not under federal jurisdiction. It would have to be murder of federal officer, or on tribal lands, or something like that.
Yes. Aveiro/Portugal.

Sorry, should have made that clearer.
I'm curious as to whether the people on this thread who are adamantly against fact-checking and censoring of any kind also on principle refuse to downvote individual posts or threads on online forums.

A downvote is akin to fact-checking, marking a post with your disapproval (generally of its veracity, although it could be its attitude, logical coherence, or other reason). And enough downvotes can cause a post to disappear, to be effectively censored.
Its an admission to having an organization focussed on voter fraud. It's not an admission that that organization promotes or organizes voting fraudulently

Less sarcastically: cheap money effectively lowers the cost of risk, thus increasing the number of risky investments made. And Axie seems like less of a risky investment than Yo was, at least.

It does seem that perhaps parts of the book are more mature than what should be on the shelves of middle school library (although that could be taken out of context because I haven't read the book). I'm not sure why people are up in arms that parents feel like they should have some say in what their kids are being taught or what access they have to specific material. They aren't 'banning the book' so much as saying it's not appropriate for kids of a certain age. This isn't like Nazi Germany where books were not allowed to be owned or sold...and it certainly isn't because the author's race or religion.
good point! Instagram happened!
Google photos is also pretty cheap and convenient.
That's true on both sides of the discussions. As best I can tell, the whole "CRT!" issue has been fueled by decisions and events in a handful, if that, of specific classrooms or districts.

So we get a handful of, generally smaller and ideologically homogenous, places doing absurd things, and then suffer the backlash as those events are elevated culturally. And that elevation gives way to a movement, and then a backlash to that movement, on and on and on.

But I think it's absolutely worth getting riled up about.
One less dash hardly makes a difference, but you benefit from the engineer feeling the experience first-hand by dog fooding the product.
>Ketamine is used to induct children into surgery it’s so safe.

Which is not the topic of the article, nor am I debating that fact.

>Depressed people cannot maintain the discipline required to undo their learned helplessness
Those deeply depressed people are not the ones I am mentioning in my comment. And as with any other serious disease, sometimes taking experimental treatments are worth the risk if more conventional treatments don't help patients improve.

If I wasn't clear enough, I'm talking about people who think they are depressed but would most accurately be described as "sad", for any given reason that could be happening in their lives.
I'd frame it this way: a good senior researcher knows when to give a junior researcher the question or not. First-year grad student? Pair them off with a postdoc for fast iterating on an established project. Fourth-year grad student? Push them by letting them flounder a bit and learn to find their own questions.

I agree that in practice, this simply varies a lot by discipline and advisor.

> I don’t need to refute cryptocurrency for the same reason the onus isn’t on me to disprove the existence of god.

If you believe Bitcoin is a terrible idea and/or will eventually be you obviously can abstain from it.

But if you feel significant portions of society are becoming trapped in it, and will reach an unfortunate end result, that is relevant to you. If you live in that shared society the failure of that idea will impact you. If you are concerned about the future impact on you, you have a reason to be concerned about refuting it.

If a bunch of people join a cult, I don't care. If a bunch of people join a cult, and believe that judgement day is at the end of 2022, that they will set fire to all the buildings and people in around them as a test, and their god/leader will protect the true believers leaving them unharmed, I do care. A lot.

So the question isn't do you have an obligation to correct everyone who is wrong. The question is, what are the consequences of the belief continuing to spread, and does it negatively/harmfuly impact society and me as a member.
I think that's a perfectly valid argument. And of you have any Miami beachfront property you may as well just gift it to me now as its value is $0, so why pay any taxes on it?
For me it's not even that. It sounds like they're full speed ahead on what seems to be some kind of boring VR video game. Unless they really surprise us, I think they're jumping the shark in a big way.
Take a look at how IFRS defines income. Nothing about ownership

>The thought of a kidnapper inquiring about the child's social security number in the ransom note is pretty good dark humor.

lol yeah I'm imagining some skit (or real life situation!) where the kidnapper is calling in to the IRS and explaining the situation to the agent, who dutifully works through the flowchart about which statuses apply when, completely oblivious to the missing child they're dealing with.

And then they just sit there listening in while the kidnapper interrogates the child for the SSN before coming back and reporting that they "can't obtain it", followed by the agent reading off their options.

With that said, not all "kidnappings" in this context are the "masked men/unmarked van" type, I assume you have these same considerations for stuff like "other legal guardian picked up child three days before court authorized them to".
Heck, the Virginia governor-elect cashed in on this "faux outrage" because a high school senior was so mentally injured by the book Beloved, one of the most regarded pieces of American fiction in the past 50 years.
Simply being wrong or misinformed isn't fraud in and of itself though. One could be incompetent, for instance.
I found this article a bit verbose (maybe because I'm already familiar with the topic) and yet missing three "key" (ah ah) points:

- one can get the keys of an object by using Object.keys or a for-in loop and notice that keys are always strings, even when using arrays.

- the object definition syntax [1] is set to define property strings by the standard (and symbols). You can (and probably should) experiment, but the spec will tell you what happens anyway with 100% certainty (except for implementation bugs, but that's not what we are looking for).

- the definitive answer to "what kind of value an object key can be in Javascript?" is given by the section "The Object Type" of the ECMAScript standard [2]:

> Properties are identified using key values. A property key value is either an ECMAScript String value or a Symbol value. All String and Symbol values, including the empty String, are valid as property keys. A property name is a property key that is a String value.

Experimentation helps anchoring things in memory and building intuition, as well as getting into things. Inviting people to experiment by themselves and not blindly trust what they read is a fantastic advice. I do experiment a lot myself. However, experimentation is not the best way to "prove" things (contrary to what the article states). Definitive answers should be found in specifications and documentations (or implementation sources). No amount of experimentation will be enough to convince me of "See? I did this this and this, and it's always strings".

The article is well written, the same thing with these references to the spec would make it strong and irrefutable.

I mostly agree with the author's conclusion:

"Parents have a critical role to play when it comes to what their kids read, and Out of Darkness isn’t for everyone. But it is a book that matters to someone, and that student deserves to be able to find it in their school library."

... except for it being the school library. A library, yes, but I understand a school library not having it.
Use of this variable as a boolean is deprecated. Not sure why, but what you are doing is perfectly fine.
I'd go a step further and add that many "truths" are also conditionally dependent on time and the current state of the world. It used to be true that aluminum was more valuable than gold, now that is no longer the case.
Sure Alexa can be improved but we still need to teach our kids about safety, online, voice assistant, and otherwise. My kids want to do all kinds of things I don't let them do.

My son wanted to run around outside in freezing cold rain, in shorts with no shoes, I didn't let him but Alexa would have. I don't expect Alexa to be a parent or to supplant me as a parent.
This just highlights that we need our agents to work for us, not for some other entity.
They’re also hiring very aggressively from what I can tell. They have recruiters all over and the path to interviewing is remarkably short.

I didn’t bother because I like my job and I suspect their salaries in Canada will be very… Canadian.

I'm sure doom and spacemacs are great, but the idea that vanilla emacs is just too hard to use isn't true. Doom and spacemacs are just layers of complexity on top of a very simple concept - install and configure some packages. Using this template you can see there is no black magic there and how easy it is to add packages.

You don't need to know any elisp for that. I've been using emacs for years and probably couldn't write a "hello world" in elisp. Configuring packages can be done in the configuration GUI, or else it is just setting some variables - I think I've only ever used 3 eslip functions - (setq), (add-to-list) and (add-hook).

Honestly the hardest part of emacs is finding which packages are quality and worth installing. This is where I find doom/spacemacs/prelude emacs useful. I browse their repos every now and then to see what packages are worth trying out - and install them with the built in `package-install` command.
Both sides is a reductionist argument that ignores the extremes one side is taking versus the other.
I am seriously considering it. I found can get ketamine therapy here but it's upwards of $400 per dose, needing multiple doses, and not covered by insurance.

With the psilocybin, I confess it was just shrooms eaten with a bottle of water. Not tasty. What I experienced was nothing short of profound. About an hour after swallowing four grams I started feeling giggly, and happy.

I looked at old photos of my cat that died some years back, and she started to pulse slightly and seemed to move almost in the photo, but that was the extent of the hallucinations. It's what happened next that changed everything.

I remember drinking some water and then going to lay in the bed. My brain started thinking about a very depressive episode that happened to me this year. I thought through it, specifically what it meant for my life, friendships, etc. This is something that would have left me crying in a dark bathroom in the middle of the night before, but this time, it didn't. I didn't feel the usual guilt, embarrassment, and humiliation about my past mistakes.

The best way I can describe it is this: I was walking alongside my depression, having a conversation with it, and at some point, my depression stopped and I kept walking. It was a sudden realization of "wow, that ..isn't making me depressed, or feel guilty, humiliated, etc. !"

About three hours after consuming the shrooms I came out of it and looked around my bedroom as if I was a different person; "holy crap this place is a mess!" I went downstairs and finally did the stack of dishes in the sink, put away the laundry, and spent hours just cleaning joyfully.

I was able to process considerable trauma that night, and my therapist said a few days later that I was a total 180 degrees from where I had been the week before. We've been very careful to monitor to make sure it's not just a manic episode. The positive has kept up. I've had a few down days, but that's mostly due to anxiety and relationship issues, which a little marijuana helps considerably.

Overall these past four months have been some of the best of my life. I wake up with a forward outlook. I can sleep easier, thoughts are no longer dwelling on me. I don't feel this weight on top of me, reminding me of my failures, fears, etc. Above all, I just don't feel like a sad sack all the time.

I've taken maybe two dozen medications in my life for anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Nothing can hold a candle to the immediate, calming effects of marijuana, but nothing has also come even close to the sheer relief from the shrooms.

Edit: Grammar and clarified a few things.
I think the bigger issue as of right now is that this book banning and "anti-CRT" nonsense is actually becoming a major rightwing talking point driving voters and is backed by coordinated dark money groups which are trying to take over school boards and harass / oust all educators who don't toe the current propaganda line. These folks are working now to take over at the local government / local level then start working up the chain to impose whatever crazy talking points they're currently drowning in.
