This quote from the conclusion sums up my personal experience with Hugos docs:

> The thing is, after having spent a lot of time tinkering with Hugo, I have now assimilated enough knowledge that the existing Hugo docs make perfect sense…most of the time. Maybe this is the case with other users of Hugo too. However, I still remember how frustrating it felt while reading the docs for the first time.
when you realize how ancient and arcane the terminal UX is. But until we ditch it, we'll be stuck in the land of POSIX forever (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Developers of terminal emulators have been trying to move things forward, though I imagine there's little chance of the ancient/formal standards evolving. Kitty seems to be leading the pack of late:

https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/protocol-extensions/

It seems the way it will work these days is that the maintainer/s of a popular terminal emulator put some careful thought and effort into an extension; maintainers of others then recognize the benefit and follow-up with feedback and complementary implementations that over time might drive toward a de facto standard.
Nothing works without psychological safety.

The difference is that if you plan work in one year increments you might be able to avoid conflict for 9 months to a year. If you're a really good avoider you might even be able to get some work done.

With agile you're certain to have an argument, butterflies in your stomach and other unpleasantness in every sprint -- and you'll be blaming your process for your problems whereas with a lack of process you'll blame something other than your process.
This is the key part:

> A sustained wet-bulb temperature exceeding 35 °C (95 °F) is likely to be fatal even to fit and healthy people, unclothed in the shade next to a fan; at this temperature human bodies switch from shedding heat to the environment, to gaining heat from it.

The important thing is that passive/evaporative cooling simply stops working. In fact, sitting in front of a fan would actually speed up your death. You'll also die shockingly quickly (20 or so minutes, even for healthy, fit adults).

The only thing that can save you is:

- air conditioning

- getting in a cold tub

- going somewhere cooler (obviously) like a basement or parking structure

There are two thing that make this frightening:

1. We have already, for the first time in history, started seeing spikes of wet-bulb temperatures that exceed these values. Fortunately so far they have been in uninhabited areas.

2. If we ever see these temperatures in a city, odds are that the electrical grid would fail on account of the strain by A/C units.

So picture this: a heat wave of this magnitude hits a large city. Bangkok, Phoenix, Melbourne. It lasts for 48+ hours. The grid fails on account of the strain. We're looking at a mass casualty event with millions of dead in a matter of hours/days.

SPAs are a pattern that's been applied too broadly IMO, but it's going a bit far to call them a mistake. The aims of an SPA are pretty noble - the idea of essentially removing the network round trip when a user clicks on something is not a bad one. It means things are faster, they work if your connection is flaky, they can do things like offline support. Those are good features.

They might not be actual requirements for a blog or a brochure site but it's not totally unreasonable for someone to want their website to work that way. The question is not whether or not an SPA is a good or a bad thing, but whether or not the cost (more code, more complexity, potentially a series of background requests after the initial page load) is worth paying in order to get the benefits.

When either an SPA or a multi-page site is done well most users can't tell which sort of site they're looking at. That should be the goal. Make stuff where the user forgets about the tech. Make a website that just works, that's fast enough for users not to think 'this is a bit slow', and that's coded in a way you can maintain and work on for a long time. If you get those things right then no one can reasonably criticise what you've made no matter how you've made it.
> tremendous energy and amounts of resources are being put towards very little of value.

I doubt it take tremendous energy or resources. What percentage of the overall internet energy/resources is used by IA? An insignificant minuscule amount.

The problem with IA is that they are constantly attacked by institutions, corporations, etc to remove content.
We use Google Docs for pretty much all of our docs since they're easy to create, share, and modify, and it works pretty well. I just (selfishly) want a good integrated plain text editor as part of GSuite. Sharing code via Google Docs isn't great, and sometimes I don't want to think about headers and formatting, I just want to use tabs to separate my pieces. That said, I'm definitely in the minority of users and I'll deal with it, not that big of a deal.

> For example, if Nim isn't a videogame, are LCD-games videogames?

I didn't consider them video games growing up. It's going to vary from person to person.

For example in the 1980s I owned a hand-held electronic interactive game made by Tiger, called John Elway's Quarterback [1]. They try to call it a video game on the back of the packge it was sold in (an "LCD video game"), but back then (~1989) Nintendo games were video games, and that Tiger device was merely an interactive electronic toy game (as far as I was concerned). GameGear was a video game however, as was GameBoy (video game playing devices; the cartridges were the video games, to be specific); I think it's the depth/elaborateness of the game (what it's capable of) and level of interactivity possible that separates them in my view.

> The bank said it was no longer able to supply liquidity to European subsidiaries following an order from Russia's central bank, which is seeking to preserve foreign currency. But it said capital and assets were sufficient to pay all depositors.

I wonder if customers of their European subsidiaries are protected by an EU-equivalent of FDIC, guaranteeing their deposits? (I accidentally wrote "despots", haha..)

Yeah if you order one you shouldn’t expect it sooner than at least 6-12 months. And you’re not gonna get any info about when it might arrive, it will basically just show up one day probably after you forgot you ordered it.
The value of the service is that they provide you with a contact that has good references which you can then build long-term rapport with. They just do the DD and make sure they're reputable.
Yea, these exchanges are following the exact same sanction regulations any other bank is required to follow, it seems. Not sure why we'd expect any different.
As a webscrapbook user, do you know if there is a migration path from pocket or another hosted service?
Hahaha yes! I had to add all of that to our code as well. I also had to write a "wait-for-file.sh" script for a mechanism to pass config values. (We use LocalStack to host an AWS env locally and the S3 bucket name is random.)

In Docker Compose v2 they had a more sophisticated "depends on" model with health checks, but they removed it in v3. The docs say something about Docker Swarm so I'm guessing they removed that in order to try to make v3 syntax work for clusters too.

The real tragedy here is that Kubernetes won, but we're still stuck with Docker Compose trying to be the same thing.

Why not take a moon-shot stab at fighting for it, when the sentiment for people stuck with these machines seems to be wildly in their favor? From my armchair it seems plausible there could be a legal outcome in Kytch’s favor because the sale and lack of adequate maintenance of these machines may be bordering on illegal.

The streamer can also be optimizing for entertainment rather than perfect gameplay. So they're focused a bit more on being creative rather than optimizing their combat skills, and they try things you'd never attempt which occasionally go very badly (sometimes predictably) and its amusing.

After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.

We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal. Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!

Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:

- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.

- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.

- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.

- Databases like Cassandra, RocksDB, and more.

- …and the right tool for the job.

There's an anecdote I've heard from at least 2 people now about an international military exercise here in Europe where they were working with some kind of big artillery and lost either comms or power so their computers were offline. Everyone just shrugged and pulled out their maps and rulers while the Americans sat there completely lost and didn't shoot even once for the rest of the day. It seems insane to me to not have at least two people on each team who can do the math on paper if necessary!
> Languages suitable for single binary executables

> C/C++: certainly possible, but you'll need on retainer a UNIX graybeard, or at least an autotools-foo master

I don't understand this. The "C/C++ is black magic!!" meme just never seems to go away.

They both support static linking and always have. It mostly comes down whether you dependencies will work with it, and setting appropriate compiler flags. In other words, not terribly different than anything other supporting language.
I don't necessarily think this is true. There are a ton of disadvantages to closing yourself off to the world, and unless you're planning an invasion it doesn't make sense to pay that cost.
We're a lot more optimistic. Everyone thought Russia is a superpower, until this reality check.
I looked into Sia since it's something I'd love to see working and I'd heard of them before. Last time I'd found that the biggest tutorial about how to practically get started had a big red warning and a huge manifesto about how Sia and its collaborators are the worst and should be dropped [0].

So now I went around just looking for old links to files on the network, on places like Reddit and old guides, to check if they'd survived a couple years. Sadly all of them timed out, even the first link on the 'video' category on the Sky App Store. I looked up the error ('failed to create Skylink') and nothing of help turned up to even realize what the problem is.

Hopefully things work out in the long term but I haven't been convinced yet of Sia's usefulness in practice.

I think some of the perceived difficulty comes from Miyazaki’s games requiring practice. Generally quite a bit more practice and learning than more mainstream RPGs and action games require (though less in certain ways than character action games like Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden).

That level of practice is honestly not for everyone and that is ok. Fighting Games require a very, very large amount of practice. For someone like me it’s too much, especially because there aren’t even any community events near me. If I am going to practice that much, for the stage of life that I am in with how little free time I have, I would rather practice something else. And that’s fine too. That doesn’t make fighting games bad or “too difficult,” they are just not for me.
Legacy code. I've been doing QT for 10 years, I only heard of rust about 3 years ago, but the hype (particularly memory safety) has got me very interested. If I can take some existing C++ that is due for major surgery for other reasons and write it in rust I'm interested.

We know from experience that rewriting our entire system from scratch will take 5 years and cost $150million: I won't even attempt to convince management of that. Our current C++ should be good for 25 years as just C++. if we maintain it well (the major surgery mentioned above) it can last indefinitely. However replacing the current QT GUI is not on the table, it already has our themes. Maybe someday in the future it will be on the table if there is better one and it can work well (look at feel) with out current QT GUI, but for today we don't complain about QT.
Ukraine on Fire – Oliver Stone Documentary (2017)
I guess as just one last note, there's some irony in the fact that you're criticizing Taler for having a backdoor in the form of making revenue to merchant accounts auditable, when Ethereum/Bitcoin record literally all transactions to both sellers and buyers publicly, including not just transaction volume but transaction sources.

Yes, you can try to use Bitcoin/Ethereum pseudonymously, but you can also try to use Taler pseudonymously, and yes you can try to mix up your coins to obscure specific transactions, but you can also try to mix up your transactions and do money laundering on Taler too. Basically any privacy measure that Bitcoin tries to add on top of the blockchain to get around its more fundamental privacy problem could also be applied on top of Taler, including things like shared wallets, mixers, transaction rollups, etc...

By your definition of what a backdoor is, it seems like Taler is meaningfully less backdoored and meaningfully more private than most cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum. That's especially true once currency/coin exchanges enter the mix.

Eh, it depends on where you are and how much you blend in. In some of the more touristy areas, there are a lot of people trying to sell you stuff constantly. Otherwise, it's not really an issue. Bargaining is expected in most markets, so the initial price is usually a ripoff anyway.

600 cities and millions of people come together to say "no" to the U.S. invading the middle-east. Bush then shed a tear, as he immediately pulled back our forces, realizing what a terrible mistake he'd made.

Of course, that didn't happen. The war continued for almost 20 more years. 10 million people still isn't a meaningful-enough protest size to kill the military-industrial complex. The funny thing that's even more to my point: it wasn't the U.S. that held the largest of the protests. The average U.S. citizen does not know, or does not care.

> It's a response to this

Seems more like a misunderstanding of it than a response. As you quote explicitly from the Sivers article, he is talking about keeping text as plain text, not about keeping images as plain text. And the Miris article is basically saying the same thing (at the end he even says plain text is still his first choice), yet appears to think he's giving some kind of opposing viewpoint.
Do you understand that this logic taken to the extreme is just telling everyone to build a deep anti-competitive moat?

The only thing I agree here is that better language wouldn't hurt. I don't think most people get "triggered". That's a vocal minority perpetuating a culture demanding a sort of conformity against their definition of "micro-aggressions" and "triggers" with no regards to a larger consultation with the society.

Results and end capabilities matter. If there is a way to reliably produce better end results and capabilities, we should do them. If there is a way to better (as in more tied to reality) measure for better results and capabilities we should.

I don’t see that being part of the discussion anymore though, and haven’t for awhile unfortunately.

It used to be this discussion was about how to take better advantage society wide of folks who had good capabilities by not artificially restricting the set of folks being considered (and helping those who didn’t have an opportunity to learn/try).

The goal posts keep moving though, and now seem to be ‘damn that, just give them a spot regardless’, which is terribly corrosive society wide.

If someone is legitimately awesome and is in an underserved community, they’ll forever doubt their actual capabilities AND everyone else will too, because they know the system has been rigged at some level to favor them based on attributes other than their capabilities.

It’s why nobility generally rotted out from the core too.

Any method of choosing folks that isn’t based on effectiveness and actual quality will rot the system.

It happens all the time, and most of the shiftiness we deal with in everything from healthcare to roads to politics is because we forgot this.
