Neil should of course know, since over 30 years ago he wrote an outline for a three arc Miracleman comic book, wrote only one of those three arcs and then legal quagmire ensured that nothing more happened.

Even when Disney's attack lawyers (for Marvel) nailed down all the rights to actually publish Miracleman again in the 2010s somehow nothing further got published, Marvel re-published everything from Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman, up until the end of the Golden Age (the first of Gaiman's three arcs) but when the first new book was scheduled (the Silver Age) it simply never materialised, at first it was "delayed" and then all mention was simply deleted.

In 2022 yet again supposedly Marvel are "definitely" going to publish this book, and well, do you see it? No.

Neil has other things to be doing, probably more interesting to him and certainly more lucrative than some dusty old comic book franchise.
Every time I visit the valley I buy lottery tickets.

Seems appropriate to me, and more viable.
Nah. A new approach is not what the investors want to hear. They want their dividends tomorrow. Better to squeeze an old design until the last drop of profit was extracted from it. No matter if crashes a few times in the process. You can always boast about the Jedi tricks you played on the (corrupt) "certification" authorities, and blame the crash on poor 3rd world piloting skills.
You (and many others) forget a thing: gas is not only used to heat... It's used in various industrial sectors. Did you know why there is a fertilizer crisis in agriculture? Because modern fertilizers are made from gas, via ammonia. Oh, of course we have classic manure, but unfortunately if not enough because the Green New Deal want to push a meat-less diet not because of pollution but because doing so means that food production is a big industrial business, not something little player can run and compete. So we do not have enough natural and NON-polluting fertilizers and we do not have enough synthetic fertilizers either.

Not only: many industrial process need heat, they might probably switch to electricity but not "today" and even doing so the price of the output will be veeeery higher than today not counting the fact that actually we do not know how to satisfy such eventual hyper-big electricity demand. If tomorrow all cars became e.v. in a snap we simply can't recharge them. Not only: we can't make metals for the green revolutions without fossils. etc etc etc.

Long story short: I'm a LEFT-wing environmentalist and I see the Green New Deal as green as "dollar green" or "stereotypical toxic waste green", certainly not environment natural grass green. Oh, and do consider a thing: so far skyrocketed prices from gas, oil etc is NOT due to the Russians who keep selling as usual (and sanctions avoid touching those aspects) BUT due to future market speculations witch is a western and neoliberal thing, as "green" as the nazi, the same nazi they have armed and trained in Ukraine actually, not much differently on the original nazi in Germany, created and financed by the big & powerful of their time, locals AND from other countries included USA and UK wealthy and gov. (remember IBM and Standard Oil just to name two well known?)...

Smelling rodent for myself I've choose to live a big city for a mounting area (a bit remote, BUT well served for various aspects, from internet connections to food and services) building a modern insulated house, with a small p.v. systems etc at that time was not cheap but now start to pay back not much by nature but by artificially skyrocket price of anything. And that's not good ALSO for me because yes, these days I'm well served by such investments but that's for artificial reasons. I'm still be "less wealthy" than what I could due to the new deal. Only very few keep profiting toward 2030 agenda where "no one [but neoliberals élite] will own nothing"...
I think it's quite common. Once saw a proeminent warning in a five star hotel that cautioned Wi-Fi is only free for the first month of your stay. So, if you're spending more than a month in that five star hotel, you'd better start paying for Wi-Fi as well.
It’s nice to have all that work show up in the activity stream that you are putting out there on your resume or for your public persona.
The fact that anything exists at all. I’m not talking about matter-antimatter asymmetry or consciousness, but rather the fact that there is no causality-compatible answer to “where did the universe and whatever it exists within come from?” For all the arguing about creation vs evolution etc, this sure seems like a glaring issue sitting out in the open that folks don’t often acknowledge. And when it is brought up, people often get sidetracked with something like gravity or matter-antimatter as above.

I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately and it hurts my brain, and it also scares me. It seems definite to me that there must be some truly incredible quality of existence which allowed it to come to be out of nothing, one that I don’t have even the slightest hope to even explain or probably even understand.
Ben Carlson's economics blog has a post on what happened to housing prices in the past during periods of rising interest rates: https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2022/01/will-higher-mortgag....

Short answer, home prices go up:

"In fact, every prolonged rising rate environment I could find over the past 50 years saw housing prices grow when mortgage rates went up".

From his chart, when mortgage rates went from 3.6% to 5% from 2015 to 2018, house prices rose 22.4%.

So, what do you think is going to happen to home prices when interest rates go up to 5%?
> In my opinion, social media (and always-on smartphone culture) is bad for _everyone_ and should be treated as a public health issue like tobacco and alcohol

I personally wouldn’t go that far but agree with your logic. If we come to the conclusion that something is bad for every member of our society, the course of action shouldn’t be to shield children from it but to straight regulate at a seller level.

For lighter approaches, I think there should be higher barriers to pay money virtual goods in game, and dark patterns should have more protection (automatic refunds on proven bad behaviors of an app could be a thing for instance)
Aren't all data centres "heat-producing"? :)
This is what the Game of Thrones TV show proved: overall the
show should not be considered a masterpiece, even though the
early seasons seemed good at the time, since the stories they
were telling mostly led nowhere.

Oh, for only you could provide that wonderful evidence of which you talk about -- that proof for the first half of this quote. If only you could enlighten us all, cast the drapes from our eyes, and elucidate what difference lies between the fact of merely hinting at plots, and having an ending written, versus having the plots written, but the ending languishing in dreams.

Sure, it had its excellent moments, but that's about it -
overall, it was a show about the good guys winning easily, women
being irrational and just kinda forgetting, armies fighting
without consequences, and so on. The fact that the early seasons
made you think it would be a different story was proven an
illusion by the end.

Thus, I am to take it that you feel the end of a work invalidates the whole?

If I may be so bold as to talk about my experience, I find myself most content to read the latter half of a work, and circle around to the start. While I find myself most humble in hopefully not alluding to presume the minds of others, I do not think that the majority of people who cast their eyes over The Lord Of The Rings do so merely because they wish to find out what happens at the end? Surely, if they do so they must be rather disappointed by all of the videos and movies put forth in the years hence, that describe to one's eyes and culture the most intricate details of the ending in exact terms. It seems rather well documented, indeed -- it has been subsumed into our very culture, that the short of stature hobbits win their restless battle, in the end. That "Good" wins, and "Bad" fails.

Alas, what reason is there to read the book now? For you already know the ending, why should one know the journey? Why open a book for which you know in advance the ending?

Oh, simply the writer's prose, I suppose. Perhaps even, the skill and wit and deft of description. Merely the entire story and content of those soft white pages, before the last handful. From your perspective, surely you deem such things to be inadequate? After all, since a story only holds merit, if the ending holds merit, how could such things matter!

I'll assent, that to be let down by an ending that you feel is shoddy or hastily jotted down by a perhaps all-too-sleep-deprived author, feels like being besmirched by their very hand at a prim and proper dinner party. And I shall even assent that these are all personal feelings, forthwit!

What a dull and dreary world you must live in, it makes one sad. I truly pity you, and hope you too one day come to know the pleasure of taking the journey of things, and not just the finality.

Easy to tell someone else to rip up their winning lottery ticket. Much harder to rip up the winning lottery ticket in your own hand.
So pretty hard to predict and essentially random, meaning predicting when a given quake will occur should be, extremely challenging, essentially predicting a random variable, which would be pretty incredibly amazing. Good to see.
Oh good. I was worried that there were still people earning income from exploitation, rent seeking, monopoly, cronyism, and leveraging principal-agent conflicts of interest but looks like that’s all over now.

1) A family member died, unbeknownst to me, when I was young. The night he died, while I was reading a book, I felt the weight of a hand pressing down on my shoulder. I was distracted by reading so instead of being startled, I merely touched the area with my hand and looked over my shoulder, noting that no one was present, while continuing to feel the hand.

2) One day in high school, for no apparent reason whatsoever, I informed a friend that I believed something bad was going to happen to their vehicle. Later that day, someone unknown to me (ie: not someone I might have “overheard” discussing this) broke into it and stole things.

3) In my 20s, driving at night with a friend along a highway that bordered a US army base, with giant evergreen trees along the boundary there, a flying object with dozens of lights appeared on the other side of the trees, matching my speed, and only slightly higher “altitude”. This went on for a minute or so. After we reached the destination, I began telling other friends about the weird encounter with a helicopter we had just had, and the friend with me looked at me like my brain had fallen out and exclaimed that was definitely not a helicopter. (The encounter was silent, and whatever it was flew at about 50 mph at 20-30 feet above ground, so he had a point, but I had fully bought into “it was a helicopter”.)

Could go on, but this seems a fine place to stop.

Thanks for that! I hadn't heard, before, that anyone had successfully used the "Birthday Paradox" on port numbering to successfully defeat NATs. Glad to see that Tailscale has successfully implemented and tested this -- not just at one layer, but at multiple layers of NATs!
I think the idea in the US is that if you're having to wait an extra two weeks to get paid, you're essentially having to "float" half your monthly income all the time. This impacts people who are on the poorer end of the scale, and there's a very high percentage of Americans that don't have more than a few hundred dollars to their name.
Some yes but probably not all.
Hi, I'm one of the folks behind this project and happy to answer any questions.

From the iPad perspective this is not actually that different to running code-server.

(code-server is basically the open source parts of this from what I understand, and the back-end impact is really no different at all, except needing to open a port for the web interface.)

I'm not sure whether vscode.dev will be able to connect to my own remotes yet; need to test that!

The main problem is as far as I am aware the same; the browser-side connection can drop quite easily because of the limits of iOS (you can't switch away without losing it).

That is obviously not something even a native version of Lapce would be able to totally avoid, but an iOS native app might have a few more strategies for maintaining background remote connections for a little while (SSH apps do for example).

You’re looking for a tutor, not a mentor.
If you bought the beginning based on the implicit (and explicit) promise that the story would be finished, because A. stories usually have an ending, and B. they've both said many times that they are going to finish them, then yeah you did kind of get cheated, you bought them under false pretenses.

If George R.R. Martin wrote 5 books and told everyone "Hey, here's half a story, I'm never going to finish it", most people probably would not have bought it and HBO probably wouldn't have spent millions of dollars producing a TV show about it.
>Help me understand: if a content platform has a “suggestions” view, then they are publishers? Or only if this view cannot be hidden by the user?

The former.
I know how to explain them because they were dreams, but I can lucid dream on command (for the past 30 years; took 1 year of training) and I had many very realistic experiences other people would describe as religious apparitions or paranormal activity.

Like chatting with my future wife, chatting with my dead grandfather, seeing christ, seeing satan, Grudge like Japanese girls under my bed etc.
Was it the right side... I feel like the story ended too quickly other than you survived to write this...
Bottom line: Building and sustaining anything of significance over time requires resources and planning.

The gaping hole in the Open Source concept is the idea that "resources and planning" will be addressed somehow by others.
I can see why that would be annoying but it's a tradeoff between how many people would find the automatic categorization of a cell useful vs how many would find it a nuisance. I'm not a spreadsheet wiz but I'm pretty sure it would allow you to set a column to interpret input as raw text.

I was laying on grass in Tenerife reading R.A.W.'s "Prometheus Rising" when I saw big white circular object in the sky. It was quite big, moving in zig-zag pattern for several minutes and then became smaller and disappeared. I recorded a video with phone but it was your typical 'ufo' recording - shaky white small dot with autofocus missing all the time. The phone unexpectedly turned off and died few weeks later before I transferred video anywhere.

The lesson was to backup my phone as I do with PC and never buy Samsung again.
Complaining about bugs in an alpha software makes no sens so I won't.

But one thing makes me uncomfortable regardless of its early state: It's gigantic!

It's a 55 MB executable. You could fit at least one hundred full blow almost self contained (CLI) text-editors with the feature-set of Lapce in that size…

What is going on there? Does it bundle an operating system, or even a whole EMACS distribution in that binary?

Besides that it feels like VSCode. Not regarding speed, Lapce feels faster for sure. But with its custom GUI there is actually no gain regarding UX compared to any "desktop-webpage-container" (a.k.a. Electron app), imho. "Native" applications that don't feel native just "aren't native" — regardless the technology used.

The other but related issue is (even it's not really on Lapce) that those Rust GUI toolkits are imho light-years away from being production ready. So not only that Lapce feels "not native" (which is bad on its own, as it's than the UX of "just another webpage") but additionally it will likely take years just for the used GUI toolkit to catch up with the state of the art.

Of course I wish the authors luck with their project! But it looks to me like it'll be a quite long journey up to the finish line. So they will also need some staying power. Especially as there seems to be some competition¹ in the space of "VSCode alikes"…

Yep. I would imagine it's way too tempting for the heirs. Heck, look at Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. I was recently in a bookstore and saw they had a lot of new books. I assume if the author doesn't finish a work someone will cough up the money to finish it for a nice profit.
A little late to the article, if anyone is still reading comments I recommend cmus, a console music player with extensive key bindings and library support.

I think Apple is being pragmatic here. Linux users need hardware. Apple can choose to sell them hardware, or send them to the competition. Sending them to the competition isn't just a lost sale, but one more person catering a different architecture too.
Excel is a good spreadsheet, good data exploration tool, passable data wrangling tool, horrible data interchange format, and a completely terrible application platform.

When people are hating on Excel, they typically hate the latter two, not the former three.
I find the notion of “how many do we need” an insult to human creativity. Also, simply asserting that those making new languages want to “carve out a name for themselves” is highly presumptuous.
He almost certainly got his opinion from media that also argued against those things and for the same reason, because they are morally bankrupt propagandists for hire.
If those sites have a search box on them, then they usually have a query parameter. For example, HN has https://hn.algolia.com/?q= You could have a site that autocompletes all of these and returns the results if the site has an api, or at least generate the result links so that you can click them.
Perhaps, but doesn't choosing not to do so also increase the likelihood that you will be less effective about figuring out what a better solution looks like that is minimally disruptive to production?

I mean if you're skilled enough to do without those tools great =)...
A meteorite strikes your house and puts a hole in your roof in the middle of rainy season. You will likely need cash quickly. You may be able to get an invoice or payment plan, but a lot of workers who will patch your roof get ripped off and demand cash up front as a result.

Other examples:

- car transmission fails at a crucial time such as during travel (now you may need accommodation)

- boiler breaks

- AC failures during summer

Really any major house related or car related issue. You could argue that these are maintenance costs and not emergencies and I would agree, but not everyone approaches these the same. It is also entirely possible for several affordable and expected events to unexpectedly happen at the same time.
I agree `column` is imperfect, but empty cells at least don't seem to be a problem.

$ echo -e 'foo,bar,quux\n1,,3' | column -t -s,
foo bar quux
1 3

The man page says:

> Version 2.23 changed the -s option to be non-greedy

Elsewhere on an ancient Ubuntu I have lying around, `-n` did the same:

-n By default, the column command will merge multiple adjacent delimiters into a single delimiter when using the -t option; this option disables that behavior. This option is a Debian GNU/Linux extension.
I still don't see the value of dropbox, it seems to remove control, suck up resources, and occasionally wipe out files.
There's a strong disincentive to cast homelessness as a housing problem: property prices.

Nobody particularly minds if a bit of money is spent on mental health services or drug addiction therapy but money spent on new social housing in your area that uses your tax money to reduce the value of your home and potentially bring people you wouldnt want as neighbors?

Yeah, people arent keen on that. Even ordinary, caring "lefty" people hate that idea.

The 1% also dont want to put downward pressure on the value of their property portfolios with extra housing or upward pressure on wages and they own the media and think tanks so mental health/drugs cause homelessness rather than are caused by homelessness when they discuss it.

Or, it gets cast as a lack of personal responsibility for the right wing press.

Either way the only working solution is the least politically palatable, so cities run by people who care end up just building a methadone clinic or something because that's all you'll be allowed to do.

Then the right wing and liberal press will take a shit on them because what little they were able to do on a tiny budget didnt really solve anything.
Well, the layout is built for phones. Better to focus on one high quality platform then make two bad ones.
> Like if a friend offered to help you move and then never showed up.

No, it's not at all like that. That friend told you they would show up at a particular time. By contrast, when your read a book, then you've read it. Deal done. What goes on in the media is another matter, totally NOT analogous to a personal commitment directly from one person to another.
Nonsense. I don't expect a storyteller to be my bitch but I do expect them to finish the story they started telling 5 novels ago. After all, I've invested at least 150 never-to-be-relived hours of my life in reading his story with the expectation it would eventually come to a conclusion.

Not finishing a story is a monumental betrayal of trust by the storyteller. And there is a contract between storyteller and listner that is as old as time and we all feel it in our bones. Try telling a bedtime story to a 4 year old about the 3 little pigs and just stop at the second pig, walk away and see what happens.
The BMJ report states that the onboard medical kit had local anaesthetic available (though it also states that "in the heat of the moment, neither I nor Dr Wong were able to calculate the percentage of lignocaine in it" and isn't entirely clear about whether they used it anyway or went in without).

They did use a good belt of ("5 star") brandy, but for equipment sterilisation rather than pain control.
Then how did the high tax states get high tax?

Tobacco regulation worked exactly the way govs wanted it to work: keep making money while putting the blame on the buyers.

On alcohol, I think current policies are decently balanced. There could be more education on its effects and work around the driving part, but we’re in an better place than when there was no gov. intervention at all I think.
