This is certainly an issue, launch capacity is likely to dwarf demand for a while, but on the other hand generic cubesat technology has been commoditised and easily available for a while. A basic kit costs well under $10k. This is partly why starlink has been able to ramp up so quickly, the tech in the satellites themselves doesn't have to be super ground-breaking. The constraint at the moment stopping every educational institution from many many high schools up having their own small sat, or even a fleet is launch costs. I can easily see Starship launching tens of thousands of cubesats a year for organisations all over the world within a few years.
"for people who don't like having to carry the burden of moronic bankers"

I don't understand whats the gameplan here.

So I don't like carrying the burdain of military adventures in the middle east, and the guy over there doesn't want him money to be wasted on space while we have problems down here/oversized military/given to poor people.

Suppose now we are all 100% successfull at thos tax evasion (which we won't be), whats next? Government collapse and anarchy? Like what's the gameplan?
You do realize that most recruiters don’t have the first damn clue what engineers do and are just searching for keywords in your online profile right?
Years ago I started using a Dot/Alexa. One day I needed to return something and asked Alexa for customer support and "she" responded by reading me the definition of customer support from Wikipedia or something. I tried numerous times in different ways before realizing there was no way to contact support through Alexa. That was the beginning of the end of our twenty year relationship.

Dependency Injection in JavaScript: Write Testable Code Easily
There's a corollary to the whole "love is contingent on reward chemicals and can be addictive". Which is that people can use the initial large offering vs later withholding of love to manipulate you. And boy have I seen this done. Particularly in friends who have manipulative parents, and in sociopathic individuals in the context of relationships (a.k.a. the 'love bombing' technique: https://datingasociopath.com/sociopath-character-traits/cunn...)
It's a bit weird to call Nader Shah, the ruler of Persia, 'a Persian brigand'. Not that brutal autocrats deserve more respect, but it was a massive military campaign and not some colorful local incident that got out of hand when a foreign highwayman somehow wound up with the diamonds.

It's like saying Ethiopia lost control of its infrastructure due to a raid by Benito Mussolini, an Italian bandit.
Exactly. The rep gets yelled at for a “cost” repair. He gets no telling about a chargeback, that’s eaten somewhere in finance.
Even a slight zoom-in (110%) makes the labels on the axes overlap and become hard to read. I'm usually at 120%, and most of the text is practically unreadable at that point.

"Industrial revolution" started 4 years after the British setup trading ports in India, it took a really long time for the British to compete with Indian goods in spite of all the mercantilism.

Revolution like Renaissance is often suggestive of a sudden explosion of new ideas, but in reality it requires an active transfer of knowledge or takes a really long time to establish.

Successful colonisation can be attributed to the political unity brought about by the church, very much the same way Islam allowed the various Arab tribes to bring down the mighty Persian empire.
I think this has it the wrong way around. it's not that love is biological bribery, it's that someone studying biology has tried to redefine biological bribery to be love.

Love comes in many shapes. Love for one's family, one's nation, one's profession, even God. It's at best uninformative, at worst nonsensical to try to reduce all of this to interaction found in sexual interaction / reproduction. It's a common thing with these evo-psych explanations. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The more scientific sounding version of thinking every skyscraper represents a phallus.

I doubt this even makes sense across cultural boundaries. For example the fact that oxytocin is apparently indicative of how long a relationsihp lasts. In a Western culture where people nowadays are prone to form relationships spontaneously, sure. In a culture where parents organize relationships based on class, caste or faith? Probably not.
Anyone remembers the Canadian paedophile who used a spiral effect to hide his face in photos? Simply reversing the spiral effect got the police a very clear image of his face and led to his arrest.

I always get a little paranoid with a solid bar even. For example, if I'm trying to block my SSN on a PDF out, I don't trust that the block won't stay a mutable block when saving it. I tend to "print" a new PDF in hopes that it flattens the document.

Can you elaborate on "very prolific programmer" and "very large amount of value per time on the keyboard"?

On an agile team once, I was anticipating a vacation before a larger project came up and for whatever reason I completed a bunch of work tasks in a couple days. The PM at the time had said that work was supposed to last the team a couple weeks before the larger project kicked off. So I get the social/team consequences of just pumping out a lot of quality work. That work mostly languished until my return because nobody really had time to oversee it getting thru the process to being deployed to production.

As you know there are a lot of other elements than programming needed to deliver a software product. Analogies usually fall down with any close inspection but I'll use one here. If we replace software development/programming with house construction/wall assembly and someone was very prolific with wall assembly and wanted to monetize that skill-set it sounds kind of odd. Usually someone would be a carpenter and be able to work on walls, staircases, trim work, roof trusses, decks, etc. Someone prolific with just wall assembly skills can't really build a house for a company where it is safe and profitable and it doesn't really make sense to have someone like that on staff because they are doing a very narrow part of the overall job.

The software development job market doesn't really work that way either where a specific skill, like time on keyboard and programming, is an entire job by itself.

Eeh, if that affects you so much, that tells you much about your ego. People pick your ideas apart and tell you exactly why you’re wrong, not because they're smarter, but because they may offer you a different perspective. It's up to you to take that with a grain of salt, or be salty about it

They got bought out by a foreign company some time ago. Newegg is not really the same company anymore - for the worse. They're not trying to learn lessons and improve.

Maybe you should have lined up projects before buying them.
It’s a long fluffy article that doesn’t even include the source of the famous quote. Miles Davis said this and would reference how important the fundamentals are to any instrument like the drums:

“Drummers ape each other. The way every rock'n'roll record sounds like something else but not all together. Everything other drummers play, if you're playing drums, they all hear. They know how to play everything now. It's the flood of records. Drums and trumpet and bass … it's like a big tree of goodies. You can just buy this record and pick this off and get this bass and flap it up! The good drummers don't play all that in-between stuff, only the bad drummers do to break up the time. Because they can't lay in the pocket. He has to learn that basic stuff first.”

The author definitely knows how to optimize SEO, but not even googling their own title of an article and including one of the more famous examples seems a bit odd to me.

There’s quite some claims that modern creators are afraid to imitate each other? Has the author opened up TikTok, YouTube, or copied a popular tweet into Google to see the thousands of copycats getting the same recognition in their own bubbles of the world?
Absolutely. Hell, some of them even had a fake horse out front.
I agree with the part where taking notes lets us structure our ideas and helps us remember. However, here's one principle that I found very useful: note-taking should be structured in such a way that you _encounter_ notes that you took previously. This is part of the idea behind Roam's backlinks, but I think no technology by itself will help here. The problem is having the correct approach: it should be possible to list notes on a topic, and they should be reviewed from time to time to see if they are relevant or not. This way, ideas which were noted down can be reviewed, kept track of, and pruned -- just seeing the title of a note is more than enough for this.

I've been doing that for more than half a year on various topics -- world locations, news, films and books I've seen/read, CS papers, research ideas -- and the results are great: I can remember more and I call recall and describe my memories more fluidly. What's important is that note-taking isn't the only way that "old" ideas can be re-encountered. If you want to remember information about the world, just take a look at the world map from time to time, point to places and think about what you want to remember.
Thanks

Do you mean trying to get a job as a SWE inside FAANG/MAGMA? I guess my concern would be that although the pay is good, it wouldn't really solve the QOL issues. I.e. my impression is that the work isn't necessarily more interesting when you're talking about companies with thousands and thousands of developers, and if you want to advance it would have as much to do with jumping through the right corporate hoops as it would have to do with actual value creation. And I'm sure if anything the IP shackles are much much worse.

But I could be totally wrong, that's mostly speculation and maybe those companies are very good at finding ways to allocate resources to where they can produce the most value.
Never say "never".

It's perfectly fine to use pixelation in the vast majority of scenarios where you are just trying to NOT draw attention to details that aren't part of your message. If someone gets nerd-sniped enough to actually sit down and spend a few hours deconvolving someone's name or email address, that's not the end of the world unless it's a very exceptional piece of information. Use your judgement.

In any case, manually blacking out rectangles to hide text looks ugly.
I'm not arguing with the premise of the blog post. In my case, the emails were send as "single-send", not a part of a campaign, so disabling the options worked. But the blog post was very helpful nonetheless, as it lead me to discover the mysteriously enabled tracking options, which I would have never got around to checking myself.

That's what we did with Avo. We started to create a Laravel Nova clone because we found its utility immense.

Somewhere along the way, we figured out that our users have different needs, and the whole project pivoted to something else, becoming a unique product in itself that better serves our users than we initially thought.

Without imitating the original, we wouldn't have come up with this wonderful product that helps teams save tons of time.

This logic is so clearly flawed. It’s much too easy to say we overreacted to Covid while pointing at death numbers that are much lower precisely because of the “fearmongering” measures that were taken. I’ve seen anti-vaxxers and freedom convoy members make this mistake quite often recently.

Since you’re conducting an experiment, I’ll provide my feedback. Usually I’d downvote a simple comment talking about being first to post but you also provided a link to the previous discussion which I thought was worth upvoting.

Regarding the talk of downvotes, I’d usually downvote for all the classic reasons but you turned it into an experiment which will spark discussion, so that’s an extra reason to upvote.

I take my upvote/downvote powers very seriously. Or maybe a bit too seriously?

Edit: after making this comment I clicked and saw your post got no comments, so I must now consider it to be a “simple” comment with little value.

Hmmmm. I guess I’ll just take back my upvote but refrain from downvoting.
Right. It explains the Policies behind a possible use of Cryptocurrency which might create problems for the Sovereignty of the State and Stability of Financial Systems. This is a very valid reason to be cautious.

However i am not very clear as to how the US (and some other countries) are regulating it? What are they doing differently?
I agree, the Tech field has exploded and lotsa people are into it which is a good thing. But when anything goes "mainstream" it loses its charm, it loses the X-Factor which made it special.

Making the government accountable for what they spend money on seems like a good direction to go in. The government programs you mention are only possible because of easy access to the money printer, Bitcoin solves this.

As for what's next, collapse/anarchy etc, who can really say? As always it's up to the people. Bitcoin places sensible limits on government spending power (and therefore on government power more generally). Governments now have to compete and act sensibly with the tax money they're "responsible" for in the same way any of us are responsible for how we spend our money.
That's not right though, the more you have invested in crypto the more you're incentivized to try and boost the value of crypto. That's not the same thing as saying no manipulation occurs. In fact, manipulation is good for you as long as it increases the value of crypto.

If you plan to hold crypto long term manipulation might be bad in that it might damage the long-term prospects of crypto, but that's literally just a question of what time horizon your investment is vs what time horizon the manipulation happens. If Tether turns out to be a scam it only matters if it turns out to be a scam before you sell.
I think he is probably wrong about that. My experience has been that corporates hate installing anything other than Office (they don't really like that much either).

What they do want though is a feeling that you will still be around in five or ten years so their assets don't end up being stranded.
Re: knowledge transfer. Why do you expect your C knowledge to transfer to Rust? Let me tell you clearly: it doesn't. It's not because Rust uses different terminology. Rather, Rust uses different terminology because underlying concept is different, so using same terminology would only lead to confusion.

I found this to be the case: Rust is equally hard to learn, for C programmers and for Java programmers. But C programmers get frustrated more, because while Java programmers don't expect their knowledge to transfer, C programmers have unrealistic and unjustified expectation of knowledge transfer. Actual learning curve is same, just expectations differ.

I don't have time to do a more complete check, but am I wrong in assuming that all of these demos still have basically non-existant accessibility? Last time I looked Qt was still trying to pretend that was the browser's fault. As far as I can tell this seems to still be pushing out blobs of pixels to the canvas.

Seems really laggy for me on a 2015 Mac, to the point where I got a few unresponsive page warnings, but resizing at least works, so that's starting to get better. WASM continues to be very impressive/promising, and there's a lot of potential here. I just wish more of these frameworks would leverage the rest of the browser properly.
