> In terms of fashion, Japan's Uniqlo is quite popular in the US and continues to grow

Wearing a pair of Uniqlo jeans right now. Every time I look for the best made (accessible) consumer goods, I seem to end up with something made in Japan. Kitchen knives, charcoal, blue jeans, and even food items like beef, rice, or uni. It just seems that a lot more care goes into creating high quality goods that are meant to last. I think I read somewhere that the last shop that actually made blue jeans in San Francisco closed recently.

Sadly, sometimes you can, regardless of whether you should.
And a lot of the .com domain space is polluted either with people sitting on domains and wanting to sell them for thousands or just leaving it unregisterable. So you have this choice of either creating a really long .com, or a shorter .other

Granted, the domain name system is not ideal, but adding new TLDs, however long, is a better solution than dealing with having to name your company so you can get a .com that matches it.
Cars should not be in the business of deciding who can or cannot drive them. Period. What if I've had a few drinks, and my companion all of a sudden has a serious accident or illness and needs to be driven to the hospital? How would you weigh my somewhat greater probability of having a driving mishap against my companion's serious and immediate need for treatment?

I'm sure other similar scenarios could be imagined. This is a wrong-headed application of nanny technology.
They can’t because VS is a pile of COM-mess compatibility. So when they clean up they did it in vscode because there are decades of compat to maintain in VS. Every VS has to do what every old VS did and the new things. And it has to do it the same way too.
For every good Winnie the Pooh story, there will be a hundred acres of bad stories and questionable-taste material made for it.

Expect the furries to have lots of fun with this. Is that innovation? Things are always more nuanced than they appear.
I don’t think this makes much sense. It’s mostly big cities like Chicago or Boston (still dealing with Big Dig debt) with trouble financing themselves, suburbia seems to do very well financing itself with its property tax base.

Ten Economic Questions for 2022
Climbing is only social when on rope with another person - even then - only minorly so when switching over. Nothing about it is really an inherently social activity.

If you do bouldering - you could easily go months without a single conversation like I have. Many people are hella anti-social within the rock climbing scene.

Personally - I’d avoid rock climbing if you’re an overachiever type and especially if you’re someone who pushes themselves all the time. Rock climbing is 100% unforgiving on this. I’ve gotten more injuries from rock climbing than any other sport. Anytime I put in what I perceive as past 70-80% effort - injury. Every time. Doesn’t happen in other activities as much. And these injuries are not fun btw. They last months to years - sometimes forever.
If only English had a German-like spelling reform and then enforced rules for transliterating loanwords going forward.
There are machines that keep track of chassis intrusion and measure it into a PCR, making the hardware replacement part of the attack less feasible; I’ll grant that your “evil maid” could also pass off a completely separate device as being yours, though.

FYI: The tone of your original question suggests that you might have prepared responses to any answers you might receive about secure boot and kernel lockdown. If that’s the case, maybe a comment tree isn’t the correct forum for having a discussion about it because of the inherent information inequity.
XKCD has a really good chart:

https://xkcd.com/radiation/

Humans receive about 3-4 mSv per year of background radiation on average. Some of this is from radioactive decay, and some from cosmic radiation. Being underwater much of the year might shave 1-2 mSv off this.

Civilian radiation workers can receive, by regulation, doses up to 50 mSv per year. Typical reactor workers in the civilian energy sector get a couple mSv per year of dose. It is plausible that he was close to breakeven.

100mSv/year is the lowest dose that has shown a clear link to increased cancer risk.

French Brittany, was sunbathing this morning at 10:00 at 15°C on the beach, with bees flying around. These are summer temperatures, and even in summer it's usually colder than that at this time of the day. Felt completely unreal.
I’d argue potentially the opposite is true. Trying to figure out new ways of doing things and new stories likely lead to further innovation.

That said it might not lead to the maximum benefits, but it should lead to the maximum diversity.

Is this really true though? Every infrastructure project in cities seems to cost billions of dollars (Boston’s Green Line Extension, New York’s 2nd Avenue Subway). It would take quite a lot of suburban road, gas, electric etc infrastructure to add up to anything close to that.
You should be very proud. I remember the early .NET 2.0/3.0 days where you had to have ReSharper installed and it made VS almost unusable.

The big question: what happens when Mickey Mouse enters public domain in 2024?

Will people be able to make Mickey cartoons independent of and without the blessing of Disney? Will they be able to sell merchandise? Market themselves using the Mouse? Incorporate the character in their logos?

Does this only apply to the "Steamboat Willie" version of Mickey? Can one use artistic license to get closer to modern Mickey without running afoul of modern copyright?

Pooh is one thing, but Mickey going public domain will be monumental.
Humanity "continuing" or "moving on" naturally due to the passage of time (which will be quite a long time) is a completely different thing than humanity "choosing" to move on. Your original comments imply/ask that humanity collectively "chooses" to move on and stop letting covid affect us, but again, that is simply not possible. It's not something we choose.

Individuals can individually choose to pretend covid isn't a thing, but society as a whole cannot simply choose to suddenly restore our medical infrastructure, fix supply chains, grow the labor market, etc. Covid's effect on those things won't magically go away just because someone says "you know what, I'm tired of waiting on covid! I'm going to be normal now!"

Adjustments to these will happen over time and humanity may "continue", but when that happens is not a choice we make.

Such a system would indeed solve the economic conundrum of how to set the price, you're right.

It's worth pointing out, though, that having per-recipient prices would require a change to the protocols to allow the sender to know in advance how much it will cost for them to have their email delivered (and thus whether it is worth them writing the email in the first place), which breaks the "store and forward" architecture of email.

If we're going to break the architecture of email like that, in a backwards incompatible way, we might as well just switch everyone over to Matrix, or try some other protocol changes which are just as invasive but don't have the extra complication of money changing hands.

For example, recipients could indicate to a prospective sender whether they are on their spam whitelist or not, and if not, they could indicate what sort of email they would accept, such as "20 UTF-8 characters only", which is enough to receive a password reset code or friend request but not enough to explain why a Nigerian prince needs your help.

One of the problems is that people have this innate inane drive to "be their whole selves" online these days. This leads to someone whose basketball commentary you enjoy also posting ragebait about the technology industry on the same account. I'd rather follow specific topics than whole people.
These days, there are more audio plugins to add hissing and cracking than remove it; but iZotope RX is scarily good and the best noise removal plugin I've ever tried.

Wow, I had never seen that before. What a bizarre video with a forced tie-in of the whole manifest destiny idea with lunar missions (1976).

It seems to completely ignore the reality of communities and society (and history, for that matter) for an unquestioning expansion of our domain, all wrapped up in this patronizing metaphor about needing "elbow room".

Your glib one-liner adds nothing, throw0101a. It's just a non-sequitur, to score shallow points by a "former speech writer of Bush43".

For others reading along, feeling "But surely this is different!" in their gut like maybe you are, an honest question:

At what point would you go "I'm not OK with actively doing this to a group of fellow humans, no matter how much of a vermin / plague / waste of resources for the society I feel they are"?

If the end of my timeline (Dec 21, 1938) doesn't do it for you – which of the ensuing WW2 years would? What's the line in the sand you would not cross? I realize vaccine passports may not be it for you, that's fine with many – but which of the next (inevitable) steps will be too much?

We had to build tooling to break out solutions into multiple working solutions for use in VS and then use the actual solution for the build system. This meant that people would often break the build by modifying their local solution but not understanding what was really going on in the central build.

Our cutoffs were way smaller than 50 projects and 10K source files, though! (We had a lot of generated code, which we eventually mostly switched from generating code to generating MSIL directly to save the IDE.)
BBC and Economist still have a colonial hangover and they address issues through the same lens as Lord Macaulay who said "single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India".

You raise an interesting notion about the lack of intermarriage by Parsis, Jains and so on. I am glad that your analysis transcends the false lens of caste but still hangs onto the notion that individual communities, some of who, date back 1000s of years, have some obligation to erase their identity in pursuit of a (false) notion of Universalism. Why should Jains and Parsis have to intermarry and erase their identity? We don't force devout Christians and Muslims to erase their closely held beliefs and marry outside their religion? Why should communities like Jains and Parsis be asked to carry that cross? Do we ask Swedes/Japanese/Chinese/French to marry outside and then why do you hold up that standard for Indian communities?

It is another issue if minority shareholders are being disadvantaged because professional managers are not being chosen but transferring voting power to their own in the case of Tata/Cyrus Mistry is no different than Reliance/Ambani (or Wipro/Azimji) passing the baton of Chairmanship to their family.

No, write your software properly. Assuming anything at all about file names is how we get to silly things like Windows' "CON" or whatever restrictions.
I don’t like StrongTowns personally, it just doesn’t grok with my experience that many suburbs are wonderful communities where neighbors know each other and kids play together and folks go watch high school football games. I’ve found that cities make you more anonymous. Living in a high rise in a city I knew just about zero of my neighbors, in my suburb I know all of my neighbors by name.
Anyone seen good articles on converting go-fuzz tests to native fuzzing? Specifics on the new corpus format and a converter from go-fuzz would be really useful.

Proof that forever-copyrights stifle innovation.

It's a balance. No money and people who need to eat have to dig ditches instead of creating. A hundred years of monopoly when fourteen would have been enough and you're constraining third parties more than you're providing incentive to the original author.
Well, at least in the US, copyright wasn't automatic until 1978, which is important context when discussing works from 50 or 100 years ago.
Well, other than the fact that it doesn't work on Linux or MacOS or iOS or Android.

I'm building Total Recall (https://github.com/erezsh/TotalRecall/), a keyboard-first browser extension for bookmarks that's fast and useful. It lets you search through your bookmarks using a local full-text search, with support for tags and extra notes.

I'm doing it in my spare time, which is scarce, so I'd love another pair of hands to help me make it super duper great. (it's already great but it's just normal great). Ideally someone with some experience making extensions, but really anyone who's willing to put in the time and take it seriously, even if only for an hour a week.

Let me know if you're interested!
You make enough money from working in software that however much you will make in your second act (note: not necessarily zero) plus what you've saved up and investment proceeds thereof is enough to sustain you.

I wonder if a political party or movement could be constructed as a for profit e-gov tech corporation.

There are so many API's that still need to be written. We can do specs and have governments implement them but it would be much much easier if a single company created the API's for all countries.

Currently the qualification for e-gov is if a citizen obtained information from a government website.

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/products-eurostat-news/...

Not everything needs to be born out of need, we can do ambition too! Moldova did some fun stuff out of need. Corona created a lot of need.

We don't really want to be reading laws (specs) we much prefer good goal oriented documentation or a tutorial. It would be even more practical if we could feed the applicable laws into the application and have automatic constraints, updates and a warning in advance if new constraints are coming. All legal jurisdictions implemented the same way.

The instance can be configured for- and hosted by each customer government and the for profit corp can simply aggregate the API's and validate(!) If the government service returns different results loud alarms should go off.

A list could be made of possible modules (or saas products) governments could offer, they could pick the ones that seem useful to them and buy a quote that reflects the complexity of the laws involved in that jurisdiction.

If the budget is there a for profit could easily venture far outside politics and organize supply chains, payments, investments, training etc etc

Besides funds and products it some how needs to get the citizens involved in a legally binding way. The automation would inevitably end up choosing directions that may or may not fit our personal ideology. (There is a blurred line between what should quite obviously be automated and what should not.) Politics would be a highly limiting factor which seems to suggest there should be a market in delivering the limits to the politician and the voter.

The politician is also trying to construct something. While offering a similar api for the construction of laws seems a tad over ambitious it would be very helpful to provide them (and the voter) with existing implementations in other countries.

There is also an infinite amount of work to be done in gathering real time data and making useful visualizations.

Anyway, some practical ideas are needed and some hands on action rather than everyone observing the situation while pretending they cant do anything. Its our nation state and it will die only when we want it to.

I am a former principal software engineer at a MAMAA company turned independent educational researcher. My primary interest is in deliberate practice and how to use spaced repetition (i.e., Anki) to develop expertise.

I have three primary areas that I am working on and would love to find serious collaborators:

1) I am building high-quality content for math, English language arts, chess, etc. (see [0] for a good explanation of what this looks like). This is primarily for my 2nd grade child, but I have also written hundreds of cards for high school level math, undergraduate level math, and programming languages.

For example, I used this approach to build an Anki deck that decomposed the NNAT test (i.e., a gifted program test) into atomic chunks and then demonstrated how sample NNAT questions were composed of those primitives.

2) I am eventually looking to leverage this content and knowledge to build turn-key resources for others. This is surprisingly challenging for reasons I won’t touch on, but it could profoundly improve learning outcomes for many people.

3). I am pondering how to enable richer sharing and collaboration between people. I have a number of patents in this space and can envision a few business opportunities.

Tabbed window managers have existed for X11 for ages, but the concept only seems to have remained popular in tiling WMs, not stacking WMs. KDE had built-in support for tabbed windows for a while but it looks like the feature disappeared a few years back, which suggests it wasn't being used much.
Maybe they should vote with their wallets, which as far as I'm aware isn't happening.

Also, Fossil Fuel subsidies? Did the progressives do that?
Yes, I have. And although Microsoft claim otherwise, I find intellisense sorely lacking in a lot of areas. Indexing is bad, search is bad, and their refactorings miss the mark a lot of the time. It's clear that Jetbrains lexical analysis is a lot better. I can search for implementers, find usages, rename and restructure without thinking twice, most of the time.

ReSharper has been really slow, yes, but it's also much better than intellisense and noticably better than Visual Assist. As of now, it's at least usable for me. Have to turn off full solution scanning, but other than that it works.

I agree that the general experience is degraded by ReSharper, sometimes severely, but VS is just too dumb without it, IMHO.
