Thank you, you articulated that better than I could.

I've used a wide range of CAD software over the years, and they're often a clunky mess. OpenSCAD is something I'd like to explore but if I could achieve much the same outcome with Blender, which I know quite well then it may not be worth the effort.

I've used the python API a lot and now I'm getting excited by Geometry Nodes.
That's true. So I suppose I would amend to say "if the line is exponential". At the company I work for presently we try to adopt "painful now, pleasurable later".
The cursor keeps jumping around when you close parens in the new coloured Racket REPL, just like with Clojure and rlwrap. Very annoying. I went back to the readline mode.
I'm generally sympathetic to Ada and its design decisions, as compared against C, but on this point I agree. C's braces syntax is at least as readable. If anything I'd say it's more readable as there's an immediately obvious visual symmetry between the two brace symbols.

I also prefer the C++/modern C approach to declarations, where local variable declarations can be freely intermixed with other statements. Ada uses a noisier declare/begin/end syntax. [0][1]

And probably people in an age bracket prone to acting out aggressively or against some perceived opponent.

I look at the variety of protests (of all sorts) and wonder how many people are there for a cause and how many want something to be part of, and a bit of motivation and thrill.
Does anyone here actually use Peloton equipment? My spouse wants one of the bikes but I'm wary of having a subscription to a company with questionable future longevity.
It is really interesting to see how these are tangled together!

One simple experiment you can do is, think of a cup then a image pops up. That image will likely be the image of recently used cup or something you cherished deeply. Now after a while if you read "a cup" you see same associations! Of course I removed a lot of details, but it's really easy to verify the idea presented here.

And something like CLIP[0] seems to be a good direction because it combines both visual and language aspect!

I think we should also take into account the rate, width, and ease of communication these days. The percentage of the population which subscribes to eugenics may have held constant (or not, I'm not making an argument one way or the other) and its just easier to hear more of their voices with our new communication tech.

I'm also not saying the ideology isn't concerning either, I just think we need to consider looking at the issue from a few different perspectives to get a better understanding of the situation
This is a really excellent constructive way of framing it. Thanks for posting this!
The Billion Dollar Creator – The 4 rules of a billion dollar audience
That latter point is pretty much the introduction to Threads:

"In an urban society, everything connects. Each person's needs are fed by the skills of many others. Our lives are woven together in a fabric. But the connections that make society strong also make it vulnerable."

Man I miss the old internet when things were more playful and that was the extent of harm being done. Not that I condone cheapskates stealing your bandwidth.

Maybe it's just rosy nostalgia.
thanks for the follow-up.

I've been scratching my head since orange_joes post because it didn't make sense from what I've been seeing.
I can't argue to your situation and didn't mean to offend you. Hopefully you are out of that trap now and are not living hand to mouth anymore. Everyone's circumstances are different and I was making a comment in regards to myself not you.

For me at my lowest there was no tax return as you don't get that if you don't have a job and any government rebate was seized before I saw it. I didn't have an electricity bill or car either. I will agree that when I was broke it didn't seem to matter that much if I was minus 30K or 35K and the collection agents eventually gave up on me. The few times I managed to pick up an odd job for cash, or through some other fortunate circumstances I happened upon some money, the last thing I thought of doing was getting in touch with a credit councilor and handing that cash to them...until I did.
In fact, high maintenance furniture would be even more of an issue than an empty room.
This might be a cultural bias, but for me (being German) what the CEO said sounds much more honest and trustworthy than what you suggest.
what about jimmy over there ... he did this thing last year, it was so terrible you would not believe. really puts things into perspective, makes you think.
Created https://flexlists.com 15 years ago to scratch an itch. For me it already succeeded; many happy users for over a decade but it is not a success by any going standard of money or attention and I do not care.

Create a programming language with a friend currently; again to scratch an itch. It will be launched somewhere 2022 hopefully but if we are the only users, it is fine. If not, so much the better.
I'm in the same boat. Whenever a page tries to redirect me to some application when I didn't tell it to, I'm sure to just leave and not use the product/page. Its not worth the annoyance to me

I absolutely don't recommend using Telegram for sensitive communications.

With Facebook you know you will be datamined and the result sold to anyone who wants to buy..

With Telegram maybe Putin reads it, maybe not.

I suppose you can modify the code, but not use it (compile) as such?
It's much easier, much cheaper, and does not rely on a centralized cloud vendor. Here's how to do it in a few lines:

apt install tor
echo HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/myserver\
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22 >> /etc/tor/torrc
systemctl restart tor

Now tor is generating the keypair for the server. It will take a few seconds: once that's done, read the onion address from /var/lib/tor/myserver/hostname and you can start using it from the client, either with explicit ssh proxy config or with global client SSH config AutomapHostsOnResolve which enables to transparently map .onion domains to local IPs that the tor daemon will tunnel right over to the onion.

Bonus point: you get automatic certificate verification as part of the onion name itself, and you can also restrict the tor server configuration to allow only specific public keys (those who don't have them will not even reach sshd).
Theft is theft. You don't get only part of your stuff back when the police recover it and find out you did not lock your door. Your insurance might take exception to it but not the law. It if morally and legally right to return all recovered property.
Candidly, did you watch the reviews? Gamers Nexus thoroughly tested the device. 92C, 1-2 hours battery life in demanding situations, and consistently under 60fps.
My wife has a bike and absolutely loves it.

We’ve recently tried to purchase one of their treadmills and it’s been a complete joke of incompetence actually trying to get it delivered. Combined with this news it does make us nervous about investing even more money into their ecosystem even though the bike experience has been so positive.
I found that even a proprietary product can improve your skills in a general way, and it has the advantage of being pre-selected for "what works". Anecdata: Google Firebase, specifically Firestore. On a superficial level, it's just another NoSQL database and you'd probably (rightfully) realize all the things that MongoDB can do that Firebase cannot. OTOH, I learned two things from it that I didn't from previous work with MySQL and PostgreSQL. (Note that I did not previously work with MongoDB beyond some tinkering, so maybe that would work as well).

The first was data-change notifications, i.e. getting notified when a record changes. I toyed around with this idea with MySQL some time ago, masquerading my server as a replica server, but generating derived data form it. IIRC PostgreSQL has something similar with WAL streaming. With Firebase, I learned how this can actually work and convinced me that the idea is sound. It definitely encourages me to actually do this for real when I work with PostgreSQL again.

The second is what PostgreSQL calls row-level security, i.e. using the data in a row to determine required permissions. In Firestore, this is the only kind of permission control (except for all-in admin accounts), and it showed me how this easily prevents a whole range of security issues that can occur through bugs in a back-end server.

The specific coding around Firestore is shallow as you said, and non-transferable, but understanding what is possible is something that will definitely help me in the future, with other databases.
Significantly faster storage.

To be fair to Forbes, it is also how basic maths works. Her share of the company was worth $4.5bn at the time.

There are genuine criticisms to be dished out, but reporting the current valuation of a company as the current valuation of the company doesnt really rank up there.
The storage speed between the three models is wide. To achieve even the poor performance of the Gamers Nexus review required the top end model.
I said aided, I am not pushing for AI to control our lives. I am arguing for having tools (I mentioned AI and modeling) that could help legislators have a more quantitative measure of how things will change long term. Even better if the forecasts are shared with the public. I am optimistic, and I hope that if back in the 80s the Italian government would have seen the "we are gonna impact in a negative ways the next 2 generations by doing this" they wouldn't have followed through.

The goodness, Happiness, sustainability, ... are still in the hands of legislators. In my mind, before proposing something for approval, they can ask the mentioned "oracle" and see how things turn out according to a variety of metrics. We are years/decades to have such predicting power, but that's what I hope to see in the future.
If you are interested in the atmosphere of those times, at least how it was seen through public media, there is a very interesting and informative docu movie called "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" from 1975, 1h 43m.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072742/

IMDB describes it as: "A nostalgic look back at the Great Depression with contemporary archival footage and film clips picturing James Cagney as an American Everyman."
Sounds like Qubes OS with disposable VMs.
This isn’t that complicated.

Both financial and tech debt are trade offs between future and present, leveraging the latter in detriment of the former.

But financial debt is authorized by corporate finance, which is empowered to do so by the C-suite and implicitly by shareholders. Whereas technical debt is created at ones own risk by the Individual Contributor, who didn’t ask the shareholders if they liked the trade off.
Generally yes, but there has been at least some improvements regarding this with preloading shipped with PHP 7.4 and with the inheritance cache added to PHP 8.1, both synergize well with framework heavy code.
It's astonishing to me that people will just buy into any success story that involves crypto and NFTs. People don't question why poorly drawn pictures are being bought for thousands of dollars, don't question why there are hundreds of altcoins on the market and some "cryptocurrency experts" are supposedly "offering free tips" on investment. The whole space is rife with scams and embellishments and yet there are so many people just blindly buying into it, including the damn BBC!
Is it? Oil/coal/gas reserves differ by factors of millions.

You only get 3 times less power/area of solar in Scotland than in California. That's pretty surprising (part of it is higher efficiency of photovoltaic cells in lower temperatures) and pretty great for our future.

For example it means once we switch from fossil fuels pumped out of the ground to fossil fuels generated with surplus renewable energy (and it's not that far - it will probably be profitable in most of the world in next decade) - there will be much less incentives for fossil fuel dictatorships.
I like the ideas in Phantom, even considering the negative comments, it is refreshing to see people having a go at OS design that isn't just blindly making yet another UNIX clone, because apparently we can't get enough of them.
GPLv3 is already more lenient than necessary in dealing with binaries. What more compromises do you want? Heavens forbid Linux goes the BSD route.
That's how we do it where I work. We have a bastion server we SSH into to access other systems in the network.

I found that it expanded a lot as I got older. In the early years people in the year above and below were like strangers. By the end of high school, I knew all the people in adjacent years, plus siblings. At uni there's only a few years there, so I guess it doesn't really count. Once I started worked it all stopped mattering, I have retired friends as well as ones that have just started work.

But for little kids, it seems to matter a bit. You can tell kids change fast, so plus minus a year at a young age matters.
Kind of feels a little repetitive to have request smugguling on the list 3 different times.
Same happens in Ukraine btw (citizens are sentenced for a T-shirt). Yet you even know nothing about this (nor do you really care), because Ukraine is "democracy".
There's much more to tell here, but this is just a bare example.

Clippy is a linter. You don't use linters by mechanically following its warnings as gospel, you use it by double-checking the code wherever it warns and removing the warning from that function if it's a false positive.
No, in fact now you are strawmanning me, creating a dumb version of what I wrote and tearing it down.

My point is that among mainstream feminists it is more ok to write even gross hate speech against men (#killallmen) than it is to write even bad jokes about women (they should be chained to the kitchen) amongst not-feminists.

I'm not suggesting mainstream feminists conspire to actually kill all men.
Definition of "genocide":

> the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group
> The Guardian asked the BBC if it was confident in his claimed financial returns and questioned why the programme’s promotional material did not mention that Hassan’s cryptocurrency Orfano was abruptly shut down in October, with many unhappy investors claiming they were left out of pocket as a result.

I feel like this is the key thing. He probably made the money with a scamcoin and the BBC nearly aired something that didn't even include this fairly critical fact?
Presumably. Have you ever seen what a complete disaster some academic and large corporate projects can be? NASA lost the original Apollo data tapes for example.

Large organizations are usually clusterfucks.
Code-signing, performed by the developer, means the application can be checked for corruption (and to a degree, that the developer has an ok status with Apple).

But it doesn't indicate that the application has undergone Apple's review process. For that, you'd need a separate signature, signed by an Apple-owned private key rather than a developer key.

I'm not actually advocating this, just pointing out that it would provide the same security as the review process does now, without the need to download apps only from the AppStore. And so ... Apple's "but the security" argument is rubbish.
Managing expectations re:v2 is not going well for me. I wasn't really aware WireGuard-ish crypto improvements were happening (hire the personalities™ freelance ASAP or at least for review), and timeline is basically a punchline at this point... I recommend just owning both (edit: start today!) as 'when it's finished' on the front page if you want to appeal to techs.

I updated re:free, thanks.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the bulk of pieces in news papers, magazines etc are not written by the headline author, but by PR agencies on behalf of the person / company that did something amazing.
Users asked for apps that were easy to use. Smart phone manufacturers came up with the "locked down" part, and it's accepted because of collusion.
To do it enmasse, you need lots of space. Like, a lot... Every year, when you review your expenses, you need to defend why you are spending millions for maintaining a large pile of rubbish in the vague hope that one day you will spend other millions to dig into this rubbish and not earn money from it but send some bastard to jail.

So, it must be either national security issue, or other long-term valuable information that is worth paying to have chance at cracking.
Why use a virtual server if you want to connect to your home network?
What was really cool about the TRS-80 is that the graphics were really represented as a custom character encoding.

The screen was 64 cols and 16 rows. Exactly 1 kB.

And as you said, each character could show either the lower 127 aasci character with decent resolution, or the character could be broken up into 2x3 graphics, represented as 64 bits of the upper non-ascii character byte.

So text and graphics were easily mixed and looked good. You could even peek and poke directly into the screen memory locationand immediately display any graphics or text.

I made a cool drawing program that saved pictures by basically scanning the screen memory and capturing the 1024 unique bytes that determined what was being displayed (graphics and/or text) and saved to disk.
This project was publicly funded. However, I cannot find any downloadable version of this database.
This is a neat result of scope creep.

The race between web C#/python and local javascript could make becoming a "full stack" dev easier at least.
I was given access to the code base (old, quite bad code base), shown a smallish bug and asked to fix it. Was left alone. Took me half hour or so to fix it. They made an offer.

No stupid syntax questions. No dumb questions like “where do you see yourself in 5 years, what is your strength” etc. In fact, the only question they asked was how soon can I start, if they hired me.

Obviously this style won’t work in every case. But for that particular role, it was perfect. It also has the huge advantage to the interviewee, as he can see the code base for himself and decide if he really wants to work with it.
> Historically, when businesses adopted open source software they would contribute upstream.

This is completely inaccurate. The vast majority of changes to non-Free open source code, let alone the wider software that has subsumed them, does not get contributed back.
> greed is a force ever hostile to good things

Yes, yes, sure.

But then I also don't know a single person who would've refused 2.5 fucking billion $ just to keep their good thing going.
You might deprive yourself from an interesting experience i had:

My IoT light switches made the mental model of 'lightswitch on the door' to 'lightswitch were i need it'.

It also allows you to actually have a light atmosphere which enhances how you use light. This is a stark contrast to a friend of mine who sits in a very bright and uncomfortable room.

Using Alexa or Google for lights, timer and reminder also gave me insight on how much different/more natural a voice interface is and were we might be with this technology in a few years.

The pendulum swing of liberalism seems to naturally lead to Eugenics, when it's at it extreme. When I talk with my liberal friends, that's where discussions often end up - "Well, the dumb people are just fucking everything up." Even Sapolsky cites evidence of conservatives being less intelligent - suggesting, ironically, that they're a lesser category of people.
Wow! When you read these things, and combine that with the advances in AI, it really seems that understanding what happens in the brain is within reach.

Genuine question; I’ve got a static IP (v4) to my only server that I run at home. Are there any real benefits I gain to using tools like this one (or Tailscale et al)?
