I don't understand why anyone investing money would be a serious issue. Trump has enough money to keep it going until he can get ad revenue or subscriptions, so I don't see why he would need to sell it or capitulate to market forces unless he wanted to. I would have a hard time believing that Trump is not approaching it as a business.
How do you measure "mediocre"? And what do you mean by inefficient? In any language you can code 99% of the things needed by 99% of most of the systems.
Most of the "I love/hate this language" is usually subjective perception or strong preference for certain programming paradigms: people loving/hating OOP, people love/hating verbosity and so forth.
Sustainably, yes. Ive seen it mean cut corners and a rapid build up in technical debt just as if not more often. The agile principles now stick in my craw as a result.

I kind of wish agile DID emphasize feedback loops but it doesnt. A set of principles that waggle their eyes and hints suggestively at feedback loops isnt good enough IMHO.

As an American I see imperial as no worse than time measurements. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day, 7 days in a week, ~4 weeks in a month (which can be from 28-31 days, depending) and 12 months/52 weeks in a year.

If you can manage to keep all this straight (and from what I can tell the rest of the world has no trouble using clocks and calendars) then you won't have much trouble with inches/feet/miles or ounces/pounds/tons since it's pretty much the same deal.
a ton of these people do not have access to the internet and will have zero idea how to get through these arcane captchas.

While I agree with both the theme and vigor of your position, your sentence made me wonder how people are seeing CAPTCHAs without the internet?
I’ll never forget the first time I encountered Mathematica. It was 30 years ago in a NeXT lab in the basement of a building at Ohio State University. I had spent the previous two years tinkering with a junky 486 on a 14” monitor. The NeXT platform alone seemed almost magical and the things i could do with Mathematica just blew my young mind. I would spend hours in there just messing around with it.

They also had laser printers in that lab, another technology that I just couldn’t wrap my head around. I had entered school thinking I was going to become a mechanical engineer and design cars and motorcycles. I think that lab was instrumental in me pivoting to a career working with computers.
Isn't this why you have multiple wallets?
Physics says that if a car and a cyclist hit you at the same speed you will come off worse from the car. Cars weigh a hell of a lot more than bikes.

The only way you get equal outcomes is that if both impacts will kill you.
I never knew :-). Perl was already a bit obscure by the time I got active in the late nineties. But it makes sense as the first wikis would probably have been implemented in that rather than in Ruby. Likewise, php would have happened later.
Huh? Apple is not the one that's throttling and causing the error messages. Apple approved the app and provided app downloads to all the folks. Not sure what you're talking about.
Social Gentrification. You must all live by what I define as a good society and screw everyone in between.
This was 3 years ago and it even provides a solution in that talk already. Have you rechecked your assumption or are you only arguing from a talk from 2019?

Índependent of this, the abstraction layer (k8s api, kinds etc.) is independent of the code base btw. You can easily refactor and fix all issues in k8s. The abstraction is already there.
Putting them in an echo chamber and potentially reducing exposure to a broader set of ideas and morals?
I hope this isn’t the case.
I have the same phone and I just use the stock OS and it works pretty well. I've swapped out the launcher, removed a ton of apps with adb (including almost all the Google ones), made the animations go at 2x speed and I'm pretty happy with how it's working. What did you upgrade for and does the Lineage build you're on have the Moto features from the stock ROM? (FM radio, gesture navigation with the fingerprint sensor, chop for flashlight, etc.)
You already need the heat, might as well help launder some money ;-)
> I've often wondered how Americans see the world.

Many are mesmerized by it and lots want to travel, but are prohibited due to costs or time from doing so. Other countries are seen as exotic, my wife can probably name a dozen fashion companies from Europe and requests gifts from them for holidays. Going to most places outside of the Caribbean islands, Central and South America, or Canada is outside the limits of many people. Taking a vacation to Europe is often seen as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The language barrier is big, there's usually little need in many states to learn a second language, though in parts of California and Texas that being English/Spanish bilingual is becoming much more commonplace.

I've lived in, and visited many regions on America, and it is not homogeneous. The US is geographically large (many of our states are bigger than most European countries) but relatively sparse with often many different subcultures inside the same state. One place I lived was 1,000 km to the nearest foreign country. Accents in the various parts of the country used to be a lot more distinguishable but that seems to be evening out a little. It can still be difficult for some Americans to understand other Americans.

While many forms of media are commonly consumed by America, a lot of American subcultures are heavily and incorrectly stereotyped in media or ignored altogether. Most of the media comes out of very small regions of New York and California, with most of the details described being at a federal (national) level, which doesn't affect our day-to-day activities very much. Europeans may know a lot about America, but very little about the things which affect you. Most Americans also don't even know much about the rest of America, and many people can't even remember the state I live in, which is quite different from the other states nearby.

The problem is a fan-in vs fan-out problem. It's easy for many countries to look at the heavily broadcasted messages of America, but very difficult for Americans to become intimately familiar with details of other countries especially due to the language barriers. Modern technology has simplified this quite a bit, and hopefully Americans are becoming better informed travelers.
fwiw, I checked and the bike does have a power meter, I think it's an RS3 Lifecycle (or some similar model). I do a sustained 220-250w for an hour.

I understand the translation between power and mph is somewhat approximated, but I think you could be more generous. It's not unreasonable to make this kind of approximation and the numbers aren't meaningless.

> Have you considered that there are people that actually like cars and find them convenient and useful? Cars and the highway system completely changed the course of commerce in this country.

Cars would have been wildly successful without marketing, but the deliberate marketing efforts of car companies significantly amped up that demand and pushed us into being a society that is unheathily dependant on these amazing machines.

> this idea that a bunch of moustache-twirling executives sat in a board room figuring out how to force cars on people is a bit much.

This "idea" is strongly backed up by the historic record, so if this seems like "too much" you really need to recalibrate your intuitions with reality.
> A cyclist doing something stupid is unlikely to live long and is mostly a danger to themselves.

well, I survived a few years of daily stupidity on two wheels.
I have to say, knowing to only read the 'top' number in a picture that is two dimensions is kind of a heavy lift.

Part of my really wants to just add up every number I see in the picture.
This assumes Facebook and Reddit operate solely from the consequences of market forces.
Co-generation :) I'm sure it's been done.
I see software engineering more like architecture or civil engineering, even though you are skilled and have your own opinions you still need to hear your clients and have managers to take some decisions. I agree that the management relationship in the building sector is very different though, micro management is the worst
> Couldn't you say that city planners are to blame for not providing enough supply to meet the demand?

But there often is enough supply to meet the demand. The issue is tourists feeling entitled to living in a house, not the fact that all hotels are 100% booked all weekend.

> Also, I wonder if maybe lots of people don't like existing hotels for some reason?

I'm sure that's it, honestly. But when you're traveling away from home, well, don't expect to have a home waiting for you. That's the entitlement.

> It seems the locals get forced out wherever demand vastly exceeds supply, like in the beach town where I used to live, where so many people want to visit and there just isn't enough housing/hotels for them.

Or, just stop short-term rentals. Then the demand wouldn't exceed the supply (at least by the same margin). Or have specific areas designated for them (which most do, and which AirBnB conveniently ignores)

> The locals are opposed to more housing, so inevitably prices goes up and they eventually turn into weekly rentals.

I mean, I can understand why the locals would be opposed to more when there's enough for their demand, it's just the entitled tourists coming in and taking over things that makes it an issue.

That said, there are some fundamental differences with beach condos and mountain cabins (usually built to be rent out, not for locals) as opposed to what goes on in most AirBnB situations (built for residential, then moved away). The former two are generally considered in city planning, whereas people taking over residential neighborhoods is not.
If the kings walled gardens Apple would say that "we will keep this next iPhone secure and working snappily for basic tasks, web/email/utility apps, for a decade with a possibility to replace batteries" I would actually consider taking a stroll in that greenhouse. Until then, no thanks.
This is how I feel about C# and .Net - they are relatively easy to hold in your head, the tools are excellent for the language, and there are plenty of decent paying jobs.
Yep. Why not after 6 years?

Sourceforge was a useful tool back in the days, had a brief connection with adware, changed owner and was never caught doing it again.

Compare to certain FAANG companies that still spy and push ads and still have billion dollar valuations they paid an unreasonable large price for comparatively small transgressions.
Thanks for the feedback! It's very timely, I just have an issue that discusses the problem of sideloaded extensions (and profile data).

They don't have to be laws. It's something that Biden can just add into every RFP the US government puts otu.

A flame war and an echo chamber are two sides of the same coin IMO.

Also, power seems to fracture almost indefinitely. Trump went after fellow Republicans. I’m sure there will be similar fights to become the voice du jour of Truth Social.
We were talking about the UK. Lot's of people say right of way in the UK too, but it's wrong.

The key thing is priority is something to be given, not taken. Nobody should be taking priority in any situation even when they know it should be theirs. Rather, you give priority when necessary and proceed when it has been given to you. This simple shift in mindset would improve a lot of road behaviour.
I think there is a healthy dose of anti-vm bias in your viewpoints.

Lauding Kubernetes because ops work took too much of your time is just shifting your burden elsewhere, even if that means paying a bit more for an offering like ECS fargate.

Any environment with configuration management can treat instances as ephemeral. It’s a best practice.

I view docker more as a package manager, no more dependency hell.

In any event K8s is sprawling, it will soon be too complex for its own good. Assuming it’s not already.
Back in 2000 when I was originally learning Japanese, I played through Final Fantasy 7 and stopped every time I didn't recognize something and looked it up in my Denshi Jisho. It was tough but I made it through the whole game!

Reminds me of “Motel of the Mysteries” by David Macaulay [1], who also wrote “The Way Things Work.” It tells the story of a future archeologist who unearths a motel and goes about completely misidentifying the purposes of various motel artifacts, such as claiming the toilet seat cover was a ceremonial headdress. Cracked me up as a kid, and the art is beautiful! Great gift for anyone who has young kids.

> You walk through town looking for a vendor and notice a guy with a megaphone is yelling to the crowd about Gold Supply Inc offering better prices on pans.

Which may be true. Or not. And they may be crappy pans, or not. And that's my point: all that yelling just muddies the water, it's like a mountain of 'fake reviews' and no way to pick up the signal any more because of all of the noise. Marketing mostly lies.
More generally, markdown is but one (if the most successful) of the “lightweight markup languages” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language).

Most of them have fallen into disuse following the ascendency of markdown, but anyone who was on the internet in the mid-aughts will remember textile and creole, they were major contenders in the CMS and wiki space respectively (IIRC).
There has to be at least one variation of this question per month over here. Sometimes the wording is kind of subtle but also the intent can be seen.

Nothing wrong with outsourcing ideas, but if you don't have itches to scratch, perhaps there are various qualities you should be improving before implementing a random idea from an internet forum?

For example I always write down my MVP ideas, and keep them indefinitely. This also requires being observant and proactive about the world around you.
I use IDE to CF adapters, and I have USB hub with a CF slot on it attached to my Mac mini. Super easy. I can just drop the executables onto the DOS disk and plug it in.

I am super stoked to try the 8086 version. I have a DX4-100, an AMDK6-2, and an old XT. Love all three, but the XT gets the least use due to having to run MSDOS3 and therefore being somewhat annoying (like going from GNU to BusyBox and having restrictions on what flags are usable, same annoyance level).

The XT did just get an 8bit NIC tho, so time to have some fun with FreeDOS 1.3 8086!
I meant to include private companies too (my bad). These companies are running nuclear reactors for the state not for their own private use, which is what I meant.

With physical products that you connect to your network (eg. IoT devices such as smart light and other things) you can usually check dns requests. If you have something like pi-hole or Adguard installed, dns requests will be directed those and you can check your logs. You should of course block any other dns request in your firewall so hardcoded dns won’t work.

If you use a website it is hard (or impossible) to know if your data is secure and private.
Every now and then I goof around with FreeDOS. Now that 1.3 out it looks I will be doing it again.

Some features are missing on newer hardware due to the lack of driver support (notably, audio). If you want to run it on bare metal, you can install it on a USB drive (using the USB as C) and not mess around with dual booting.
Yes, we made it clear to each other that we were both not interested in having kids if we could not provide them with the minimum quality of life/opportunities we wanted for the kids.

I am also cognizant that maybe those discussions were all just talk, and biological urges from one or both of us would have won out if push came to shove and we were mid 30s and had not reached our minimum viability stage yet.
More or less. I guess there’s incentive issues too. Maybe now people keep their houses unnecessarily warm to mine more —- but again, this is the closest thing to any kind of justification I’ve ever heard.
95% accuracy has nothing to do with being in the 95pctile of active participants other than using the number 95.

To achieve a 95th pctile ranking among the relevant machine learning frameworks means being more accurate than 95 % of other approaches, and that's probably quite good and useful.
I don't doubt that - the same way CVS, SVN, Bitkeeper, Sourcesafe, etc are still around. Many projects have also migrated from at least CVS -> SVN -> git over the years (and moved all over the place in terms of infra).

Exactly.
Yeah, I agree that Critical Mass is wildly counter-productive but would also be extremely surprised if anywhere close to 10-20% of regular cyclists participate in such events.
> Getting information and help was difficult

As time goes on, I don't see this as the benefit I used to. When Google supplanted Altavista as my go-to engine for technical docs, and then when StackOverflow come to the scene, I initially thought these were great developments. But I was wrong.

Yes, it took much longer to both obtain and read the Intel/Microsoft/VESA/Cisco/IETF/etc documentation, but at the end of that process I always had a very solid understanding of what I was doing, why I was doing it, and where to look if X or Y goes wrong. Engineering coworkers and managers understood the process, understood the time delays involved, and accepted what were typical turnaround times for both programming and debugging iterations.

Nowadays? I solve the problem much more quickly, but within a range of zero to very little understanding of why it works, what is above and below me in the abstraction hierarchy, what the hardware is actually doing, what the performance tradeoffs are, etc. And then to speak to engineering culture, if you ever step out to do it the old-fashioned way, impatience often sets in and you're told to just Google it, bro.

If something goes horribly wrong, would you prefer your engineering team to have developed a deep understanding of what's actually going on under the hood, or would you rather have a pile of stackoverflow answers patched together?

I think the old way was better. My brain is dumber and lazier than before, and I'm uncomfortable with this feeling. It's just sad.

The consumption model has changed, and the tastes reflect that. If you're going to a movie theater a couple times a month, you always have to pick from what's available and what sounds good. If there always new, high quality stuff available at home, you'll pick what you're already invested in. That could be Marvel movies, or it could be a tv show you already know you like.

Poly checking in. It’s not about the sex necessarily, it’s more about being able to share yourself with multiple people.

I have three people in my life that I share myself with: one person I absolutely adore and intend to marry, one I like but with whom the connection is purely physical, and one I dearly love and who is asexual and never have physical contact with.

I have no problem sharing those people either as long as the expectations are correctly set. My SOs having sex with someone else is a non issue as long as they feel comfortable telling me about it (there is no lying or breach of trust).

The classic question: is it cheating if you just kiss? If you just cuddle? If you just hug? What if it’s a hug with “more” intent behind it?

The reality is, it’s cheating when there is breach of trust.
Are (pragmatic) views really a problem? I'm not so sure. Depends on what you are trying to achieve.

If you're trying to change people's values (i.e. from "who care about the environment" to "we need to protect the environment") than pragmatism isn't the way to go.

But if you want to convert values (i.e. "we need to protect the environment") into actual real world results, well in that case pragmatism is the only way to go.

Look at the whole green energy discussion. If the green movement contained its activism to fossil fuels and turned pragmatic on the topic of alternatives ... we would be living in a much cleaner world today.

But they didn't and as a result, they radically reduced their net positive effect on the world.
Won't be easy, drones are small and fast.

RGB based detection will probably be too slow and error prone. Rather put active IR LEDs or similar markings which can be easily detected, use cameras which only let through IR and high framerate! Then use computer vision to spot blobs. Finally compute 3D position by triangulation.

Active IR tracking is still pretty much State of the Art for motion capturing and the like.

Short googling leads to OptiTrack, where they even advertise exactly this use case of drone tracking:

The sun gives off a heck of a lot of infrared, but the water in the atmosphere absorbs some frequency ranges. There's a pretty deep valley around 940 nm, and 940 nm illumination sources are cheap and readily available. Combined with a sufficiently narrow bandpass filter, sunlight may be less of a problem than you expect.
It's not as if Bitcoin does something inefficiently that is accomplished in some other, more efficient way. "Commodity" money which has no counterparty is going to be valued at the marginal cost of production, period. It's not Visa, it's not FedWire, it's hard money.

The critique is actually spot on, because when you peel back the non sequiturs about efficiency the underlying criticism is that Bitcoin itself is pointless. Maybe so, maybe not. But that's a different argument.
