Have to agree.

In fact the clusterfuck going on with desktop frameworks seems to be related to WinDev not knowing where to go.

Most likely it isn't any accident that many key figures that are still at Microsoft have now moved into Azure division, where I also have to acknowledge, POSIX has won on the cloud space (aka timesharing rebranded).
This would cause headaches for every HTML sanitizer maintainer, cool!
> even the most crazy idea can become a success - there are tons of examples.

There are multiple orders of magnitude more examples of crazy ideas simply failing (multipl times, as there's only so many crazy ideas but an infinite amount of people thinking they are the first to come across it) than there are of crazy ideas succeeding.
In Britain you can even see if the dispatcher has turned the signal green for your train: https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/crewe

Unfortunately, this is very much the exception. In general railway operators are extremely hostile to sharing any of the (usually very accurate) internal data they have about train movements, and perfer to stick with simple "Your train will arrive in x minutes" predictions. This sometimes gets a bit absurd:

In Germany the unions are officially against any open data sharing, for some reason(I think it's to do with making it easier for passengers to get cheaper tickets).

In Britain the freight train companies argue that information about their trains should stay secret because there is no public interest in it, and it is a competitive disadvantage if their competitors know where trains they run go.
I envy the people who can endure the drudgery and boredom of most jobs, and can therefore have stable longterm careers.

You make it sound as if chasing ideas is the hard part, but for some people the opposite is the hard part.
The marketing is... Different... Agreed.

But there looks to be an actual technical innovation here: a new way of manufacturing metal panels with properties similar to honeycomb panels.

Is it really so hard to look past the marketing nonsense for a second and consider the product on its merits?
I can tell the difference between people that are promoting the things that already exist and research just fine, thank you.
I like this one:

I have seen something else under the sun:
The race is not to the swift
nor the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
Exactly. There are people who never set a foot on that region claiming the land from the comfort of their sofa, such as the owner of this site http://bir-tawil.com/
Yep....

Bootstrapping is for fools. Virtually no founders out there are pouring their personal savings into their company. The issues with bootstrapping:

1) No one to tell you to give up except your own survival instinct.
2) You've already told yourself to ignore that survival instinct because of the success stories you've heard.
3) Even if your idea is fantastic, there is another group of folks out there who have raised enough money to pay themselves working on the same thing. You are now under-resourced and already losing.

I about 90% regret bootstrapping my first, failed startup. The other 10% I managed to make into a great opportunity to learn a lot and expand my network but I suppose I could have done that much more cheaply.
I had a conversation with my colleague recently on this. We quickly got lost in this complex topic, but what we managed to recognize was that a large part of "success" phenomenon (here, locally) is just a replacement for a social stability and respect. Atomized society loses big chunks of what makes people happy and sure about their position. And having this is much better than e.g. owning an expensive car. But when everyone around gets constantly gaslighted by success and the role of Money, including relatives or potential friends/spouses, it's hard to row against this current. We live in a pretty unstable environment and it requires much more than just a stable money to insure yourself from taking part in this nonsense, sort of a paradoxical feedback loop. I wish I were that guy who has his average successless life planned ahead, but I'm not assigned this privilege.
Yes, music.stackexchange is pretty bad. Did you find any of the parts where someone writes that the classical teaching style is for training professional musicians or at least developed in the time when it was?
> 1. Use a hierarchical todo list, an outline, essentially. Then you can skip entire sections ('paint garage' - not this week!).

I use org mode; skip and/or fold/unfold entire sections/subsections at a time. Very useful for having an outline, hit 'TAB' on an item to expand, hit 'TAB' twice to expand all subsections, hit 'TAB' three times to fold everything again.

Use 'ALT' and up-arrow/down-arrow to move items up down the hierarchy. Very simple to use and remember.
Are you in marketing?

Yes. My Todolist is a textfile with one horizontal bar (=====). Above it are the things to do, below the thing that I did. When something gets urgent I move the item just above the bar. When I do something I just move the line under the bar.

I do that because sometimes I don't remember if I did something or not. Or because I need to add details about how I did it (or why I couldn't do it, sometimes). I have this additional rule that, when a task needs extra info, they are indented right after the item line.

Actually the whole thing is one section of a VimWiki file, but I use none of the features of the plugin for this. It does have single-keystroke checkboxes; I use that for checklists, which are sort of "repeatable todolists".
I had a dumb idea about this a while ago - to do a massive completion for coin flipping.

Get thousands of entries. Each ‘match’ just involves the two people flipping coins to decide the winner.

You make a documentary about it where you ask everyone about their tactics and strategy. Someone has to win all their matches. They will have developed some ‘tactics’ that they probably strongly believe in. Of course we know it’s just completely random.

It’s basically an exposé of survivorship bias.

Probably no one would watch it though…
Nonsense, a bad foundational idea sets a start-up back so much that it makes a failure so much more likely. Most don't have the runway to pivot away to something that works.

And if you think that businesses failing are some abstract concept completely removed from any personal impact then it shows why these success stories are a problem.

It's less prevalent and more unwelcome to hear about the marriages breaking up, the homes having to be sold, and the mental issues brought about through the businesses failing. It happens though. And the survivor bias that's reinforced through success stories is a contributing factor.
Just want to say how much of a pleasure it is to use any ol' minimal gnu distro compared to this mess.

What is it that makes SG-1 and Atlantis so extremely re watchable? I absolutely loved deep space 9, but watching TOS, TNG, and DS9 gave me such a feeling of disconnect and failed to immerse me like before. Maybe due to the subpar acting?
Questions like this are why people should not be building medical devices at home. Your average athlete interested in this may lack the necessary medical knowledge to understand that a collapsed lung is a possibility when using this device, and cause themselves serious bodily harm.
Most places and populations where people have many children are poorer than the US. Families are expensive because you have such expectations of high standards. I see it in my country. If you want an extra bedroom for every kid and a car that fits all family members, it is expensive. Meanwhile other people are raising 4 kids in a single room.
I've seen it too.

This is one of their "Growth Hacks".
I think this is even somewhat uncontroversial, just that considered as such it's pretty shallow. Lots of 7DRL entries take minesweeper elements, and Shiren 5 includes minesweeper levels called "Explosion Rocks" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nAXgSiKotQ) in the same way many traditional roguelikes have sokoban levels.

> Smalltalk-the-system is best thought of as an OS

That is the is that OP is lamenting, the fact that this attitude was a significant (not: sole) cause in Smalltalk's demise. He is talking about the ought, it shouldn't have been this way, and if it hadn't been this way it would have been a LOT better.

Keep in mind that you can still build a pure Smalltalk OS on top of the Smalltalk that's not an OS, if you want to.

> It's not a perfect analogy

It is at best an analogy, and not a particularly good one at that, as whereas Smalltalk can function as an OS (you can port Squeak to bare metal fairly easily, for example), it isn't a very good at it, at least not when it comes to the functions OSes are expected to fulfil these days. And so the analogy stays at most an analogy, and breaks down even at that pretty quickly.

It turns out that what OP was talking about was created, sort of: NeXTstep. Except it substituted Objective-C for Smalltalk. Heck, it even did messaging at the OS layer (Mach).

> ...viewing Smalltalk as an operating system on equal footing with Unix...

That is exactly the problem.

> Different operating systems interact best via networks.

And that turns out to be significantly more difficult than various languages interacting on the same box.

> Which neither Smalltalk-the-OS, Smalltalk-the-language, Unix-the-OS nor C-the-language support particularly well.

True. Objective-S supports REST servers and clients effectively at the language level. And filesystems and Unix pipes. http://objective.st/ And it doesn't insist on being the entire world.

Slightly similar in practice, but very different concept.

In Plan 9, every process draws interacting with a screen file (in fact, it is a whole filesystem, also including keyboard, mouse, control files, ...). What rio, the Plan 9 window manager, does is to "multiplex" this screen file (again, file system) so that each process has its own screen which does not correspond to the physical monitor, but to a window.

An uncommon feature that derives from this design is that you can run a new rio instance inside a rio window. More important, you can just connect to other machines and interact with their windowing filesystems, getting network transparency "for free".

They tried that with SG Universe right? I thought it had real premise but it didn’t really take off. Iirc, there was a writers guild strike which killed all momentum or something.
I don't find that to be true in general. I mean, some do that, but it is quote rare. Most don't try to force specific length at all. They are comfortable with super short videos and super long videos and anything in between.

If you look at the "last structural material" slide (close to the middle of the page), there's a table showing different industries and potential components it could replace.

As for moisture, this is stainless steel, so it's inherently fairly corrosion-resistant, though I'm sure there might need to be mitigations put in place (e.g. a coat of paint or sealant at the edges) in some applications. I guess the ends might need to be plugged to protect the copper.
I don't think the article proves that all advice for becoming successful is bunk, just that it is difficult to evaluate.

Surely "from nothing comes nothing" is still mostly true. Of course a lot of people these days believe that the only way to become rich is to inherit. Which ironically could also be a false belief about success, as per the article.
It is interesting how you try dismiss these people in your 'freedom of reach' argument.

Indeed -- it still amazes me how a decent form of national health care is such an anathema for a lot of people in the US.

Most of us Europeans simply don't need to worry about health insurance at all with the likes of the NHS in the UK and equivalent (or often better) free national health services on the continent.

It seems a lot of ring-wingers in the US are vehemently against any form of national health service whereas in Europe, even the right seems to accept the benefit and necessity of national health.
While I disagree at some level with most of what you've written, I think the most egregious point is that nothing that you wrote is linked to the conclusion you draw.

1) There are reasons other than white nationalism for political parties to play politics with voting laws. It is overwhelmingly likely that these changes target Democrat voters rather than minority voters.

2) If this is the best a party of white nationalists can manage - marginal changes to try and tip tight elections in their favour - then the situation seems to seem very much under control from the perspective of all the non-white non-nationalists. It is hardly a defining policy.
That’s actually pretty scarry. Someone can write and entire graphical operating system, including filesystem and everything, but that same person have no hope of writing a browser to go with it.

There’s almost no commercial insentive to create a browser/rendering engine (Opera couldn’t make it work), and it almost to much work for an open source project to take on. As sad as it might be, Google won and Chromium will be the final browser, everything else is just customization. At least Microsoft had the courtesy of slowing down progress with Internet Explorer, allowing others to more easily catch up.
It's pretty much this reason that I started running Linux in a VM for my development work, and use macOS for everything else. macOS is fundamentally just a better ecosystem in my opinion for everything it caters to - that is, I actively use an iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Macbook. I use a lot of apps that sync seamlessly between each other and simply run best on macOS (or only run on macOS).

However, I've been burned _1000_ too many times for almost all of my development work (the sole exceptions have been Go and Java). But writing Python was a nightmare, last I checked (although this was prior to the full deprecation of Python2). Since then, I run an easily repeatable, tight-knit developer VM that I ssh into (or run graphical if absolutely necessary, like to handle oauth flows), and I literally do not notice any difference. It's as if it were native macOS (with the exception that I'm not running shared folders, so some files don't exist as far as Finder is concerned).

Rewatching BSG recently and seeing the prisoner-abuse scenes on the Pegasus (no less with Cain as a woman in charge, stood particularly out to me this time) or the commentary on military occupation from the perspective of the insurgents during the height of the Iraq war on Syfy of all places really cemented why the show stuck with me.
Internally within Google I proposed G+ to launch to small communities first to test the products "social" features, with exactly this effect in mind.

Leadership decided there was no way to launch to small communities without screenshots being leaked all over the web and them missing the initial press wave of the new product launching.

The only way to do it would have been to launch under another brand (ie. Let the small test communities use G+, but without Google branding). Technically that was too hard to do - it was too integrated into Google infrastructure and services to hide the fact it was a Google product.

I think leadership made the wrong call, and it resulted in the products rapid failure.

Same here in Belgium. It is not available in any format except boxed dvd, and even then only sg-1 and not the other shows or the movies. It was rebroadcast on tv recently and I was happy to share it with my kid, but they stopped after season 5.

The situation around streaming of movies and tv shows is abysmal. It doesn’t matter how many services I pay for, there is a lot of content which is not available in my local market which is available in the U.S.

It’s probably because SG1 brought with it a more modern mode of storytelling and production values which is familiar and past some threshold that star trek doesn’t meet until maybe the later parts of ds9 to an extent at best.
i'm guessing the long-term detainees there are seeking (political?) asylum, and while australia is reluctant to grant them one, they also recognize that deporting them could cause harm to those individuals which would ultimately reflect poorly on australia's human rights track record.

so they end up in this limbo as a compromise.
Maybe Lutherans? Or, more likely, some German heard of it and wanted to know more and translated it and sent it in. I've sent in dutch to English and German to English translations since I got a modem.

Concur. Once you get rid of annoying disruptions and bloat a modern magic tile is actually useful and can even be a net positive.

Disable all notifications. Don't publish your phone numbers. Be careful who you give out your contact information to.

Separate channels, e.g: dependants, friends, work1, work2. Mute as needed.

Teach your connections to stop and think before they ping you. Get them to limit it to important stuff. For me this has required several chats which can be uncomfortable to some, so keep it friendly.

Learn Discipline. Just because it sits in your backpack does not mean you have to look at it.

> vc would not fund 90% of companies that fails

Imagine if VCs were so good at spotting success that 90% of companies they funded were successful.

They would then be able to fund a LOT of companies... but is there even a chance that there's actually room for so many new companies? Eventually, the rate of success would need to drop drastically, you can't just inject thousands of new companies into the world and expect them all to succeed.

I always think about it like this: how many new services have I or my company actually purchased during a year, or even might want to purchase if we just had perfect knowledge about all these new companies coming up and had actual need for many of those?

I can't think of it being more than one or two at most. Now, spread that over the whole population and you'll probably find that on average, only one or two companies could possibly enter any field successfully on any given year. And guess what: that's pretty much what we see in the real world.
On Linux yeah. On Windows no.
As you will see in the schematic of chapter 4 the fixed temp switches vary two voltage combinations (that you get “for free” with split phase power) and two coils to get the limited power levels. But this requires multiple coils per burner as noted. If it’s a single nichrome element per burner then even with fixed detents it may likely use a bimetal switch.

> I assume it's changing the resistance.

This isn’t feasible since you would need a resistor that was as big as the burner and essentially dropped as much heat as a stove element - for instance you would need a dummy load to dump as much waste heat as the burner itself to get a medium setting.
In theory one could use a variac or multitap transformer - but again those would be relatively huge and heavy for the currents involved.
You can be wrong and charismatic.

I'm sure sociology and anthropology and psychology all can reconcile that.
The genius of SG1 was that while it was largely an episodic, planet of the week style format of Star Trek, it still had a really strong story arc. So it works both as a show you can dip into randomly but also as something to binge watch.

I also really love the comical elements. Back when all other Sci-Fis largely took themselves seriously, SG1 wasn’t afraid to poke fun at itself. But it did itself in a way that didn’t detract the audience away from the seriousness of the plot. There’s even points where it breaks the four wall: like the 200th episode, which is a dig at itself, saying to the audience “we know this show is ridiculous at times but thank you for playing along”. The closest Star Trek got with that was the DS9 episode “Trials and Tribble-ations” (where the cast of the Defiant were sent backward in time to assist Captain Kirk).
