And funnily enough one of the first things you'll notice is that confident people have the same awkward faux pas interactions that would keep you awake at night all the time - maybe even more often, since they aren't so hyper-alert analyzing the conversation. But they just don't care!

And because they don't get all shy and awkward when the awkward thing happens, because they don't make it awkward, the other person doesn't feel awkward either, and maybe at most both parties laugh about it for a moment, the conversation continues and life goes on and that night they sleep the peaceful sleep of the innocent. Or they lie awake worrying about some entirely different set of life problems, because we're all just doing our best and showing the best face we can.
I'd prefer a [provably secure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provable_security ) JavaScript-engine as a default. Or, if provable-security would be a bit much for a near-term project, something more heavily based in a simple engine-design, without trying to optimize stuff and perhaps including seemingly-redundant run-time checks.

Ya know, stuff like type-checking arguments, using stronger restrictions on async-calls to avoid potential race-conditions, more parameter-validation, relying on automatic-memory-management to avoid bugs, always bound-checking on array-accesses, always overflow-checking math, and so forth. In general, code that's designed to be simple and plainly correct, resisting the temptation to optimize.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that a lot of security-folks do good work trying to help identify-and-patch vulnerabilities in V8/etc.. And I appreciate that that enables a balance between performance and security that might be right for some applications. However, there're a lot of cases where I'd prefer a heavier focus on security.
ADHD medication.

I didn't even realize those things would be connected. Turned out a lot of - not all, but a lot - my depression, anxiety, and general weirdness was tied to ADHD.

edit: I feel I should also note I went through a few years of therapy at one point and that also helped, but I can't understate that having ADHD diagnosed as an adult and receiving medication changed my life.

There are certainly other javascript implementations. For example, here's one I stumbled upon recently that's written in plain Go: https://github.com/dop251/goja

>HW accelerated Youtube already works out of the box on Raspberry Pi OS.

Yeah, only if you run some commands in the terminal from a tutorial, to enable that. That's where you loose most average joe consumers.

>It is less complicated to setup a Raspberry Pi than install Windows 11.

Your average consumer has no idea and no intention on installing an OS, that's why all machines at Walmart come with one preinstalled including Macs and PC Laptops.

>$200 Android phones are notorious for not actually working correctly in getting apps to run.

Funny, I have a 200 EUro Android phone that runs everything correctly including HW accelerated Youtube and Netflix out of the box. I guess your $200 Android phones are just broken somehow. Maybe return them or file a RMA ticket.

PG with the useless takes again, and Elon complaining that you can't put out shit takes on Twitter. Yep, seems par for the course for these two.

You can build something like Twitter in a month, but you cannot build the nightmare that is the Twitter API. You will be billed like the AWS, perhaps a bit richer. You will be suspended from regular use within limits, you will be given a very short backlog and Twitter will gatekeep any and all remotely useful information.
If we were to interpret that literally, wouldn't that mean public company founders/owners would have to essentially give up 8% ownership per year? That sounds like a great way to kill growing companies
Regarding Kandria:

You might have heard of this thing called "Art", and that it has styles, and that not only one of them is called "pixel art" for celebrating that kind of limitations, Art as a whole is often talked in terms of self-imposed limits used in creation of a work.

That said, a game can deliberately target such style, and yet hide considerable richness of implementation (consider: Noita, Dwarf Fortress).

Another thing with Shinmera and his team is that they produce both interesting stories, interesting games, but also code I'd argue is art too.

For me the biggest thing was realizing that being socially awkward sometimes is not necessarily a problem. After I realized it was part of me, I didn't work to change it or improve it, but I learned how to deal with it. I'm still socially awkward sometimes, but in those moments I become self conscious and can do my best to think things through while also eliminating the useless thoughts ("what if that person over there thinks I'm weird?").

Given the way light works, I think the expectation is that all of the possible wavelengths will start doing this all the time — all the ones that interfere destructively will do so, all the ones that interfere constructively will also do so, but the former has a minimum of zero and the latter is unbounded, so one of these will just run off to infinity.

(It does feel like trying and failing to make one, getting asymptotically close should release infinite free energy as virtual photons almost get into a CTC, but IANAP).
>On the second claim, it's briefly described in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_legal_cases#Dicamba). The second claim isn't about GMO spreading directly, but rather about how you may have no choice but to grow the GMO variety (and pay for it, and lose revenue if you were growing something more profitable) when in the neighbourhood of other farms growing it, which has a similar practical effect on individual farmers regarding "you’re still free to go back to non-GMO varieties".

>Lengthier article here (https://investigatemidwest.org/2020/12/04/buy-it-or-else-ins...) "‘Buy it or else’: Inside Monsanto and BASF’s moves to force dicamba on farmers" [...] [...] "His neighbors who spray dicamba are frustrated with him, he said. There’s an easy solution to avoid damage, they tell him: Buy Monsanto’s seeds" [...] "As the damage has continued, he said, more and more of his clients are “feeling bullied into” buying the dicamba-tolerant crops. Others tell him, they have to spray dicamba or else they can’t control the weeds."

I agree that this situation is bad and monsanto was in the wrong. However, I don't agree with the characterization of this as a GMO problem. The problem as I see it is that one party (the farmer spraying dicamba) is harming another party (the farmer that's not using monsanto seeds). In other words, a tort. This is something that the legal system protects against, and the article mentions that the injured farmer has won a lawsuit, so it seems like everything's working as intended. Blaming it on GMO doesn't really make sense. If GMOs weren't involved, and the pesticides merely poisoned the drinking water, that wouldn't magically make the situation okay.
It's disliked by the same Linux purists who complain constantly about systemd. Bit odd how the same community hates Canonical considering how it's now the only FOSS commercial entity considering Red Hat was bought by IBM. The community treats them worse than Microsoft for no good reasons. If you don't like snap, fine, use flatpak, apt, AppImages. Nobody is forcing you on ubuntu systems, but they spend their effort and time whining here.

I like snaps, I use them for everything I can.

- They are better confined than flatpaks, and come with a permission based model. Hence why there are some rougher edges. I appreciate the increased security.

- I appreciate the ability that when I remove a snap, the entire thing is removed with no littering.

- They are significantly easier to distribute on ubuntu than dealing with ppas or launchpad.

- They are a one-stop shop for finding the software I care about. I don't need to hit the command line, or add another repo.

- They save time and money because devs only need to support 1 base.

- I can install software on ubuntu without giving root privileges in a self-contained fashion.

Some common complains:

- The store isn't open sourced. Well yes, that is because they wasted time from the same whiny people over launchpad. Nobody else runs and supports launchpad. Hence nobody else would frankly bother running the snap store.

- People can't run their own store. Well yes, that is because Canonical learned from a decade ago with the security nightmare that is PPAs. Yea, it is a bad idea giving devs root access to 100k worth of machines to run arbitrary scripts.
Also really bad UX.

-It's slow to startup with theming issues. Well the situation has improved 100x since a few years ago, and also I run an ssd, 32gb of RAM and a 3600, I don't really care for a few seconds in launch time.
> JavaScript engines with any kind of usable performance are inherently complex

Depends on what you're using it for, surely? If you're just watching videos or scrolling through the news (where the JavaScript takes a back seat) then wouldn't any implementation be fast enough?

Currently hosting at home, but tossing up whether it would be better off on a VPS.

I'm not currently getting blocked by Google or Microsoft, and maybe that's because it's hosted via my home connection (and therefore not within a set of known untrustworthy IP addresses), but Mailu has an easy path to ensuring SPF and DKIM are setup, which add legitimacy to the email domain.

I've been testing with a domain name that I haven't used for email before, so it's a clean slate, though I'm not sure how much difference that makes in getting blocked or not.

Apple and Microsoft charge for upgrades on computers, but not for security updates.

Cross-subsidization is obscuring the true cost of a good and not permitting consumer choice, many people don't want UI revamps and feature rewrites bundled with basic security updates, with the cost hidden in the fees charged to App Store developers and never disclosed to the customer.
The obvious answer as to why people aren't writing software is that almost all of the people able to write good software don't like the language and are writing software in some other language or for some other platform.

I know Lisp enough to have written programs of a few thousand lines in it. I'm not even slightly fazed by functional programming and (tail-)recursion instead of loops. I've read Steele's Common Lisp book from cover to cover. Someone even tried to get me to interview for a job writing Lisp (I politely told them I thought their system could not practically be implemented in Lisp and was, several years and tens of millions of dollars later, eventually proven right).

And I don't think the language has any redeeming features other than garbage collection and documentation, neither of which is notable in 2022. I'm someone familiar with the language who could quickly become productive in any decent Lisp, and that's what I think of Lisp. Can you imagine what a person new to the forest of parentheses, weird identifiers and rejection of 500 years of operator precedence notation thinks?

Blockchain as a confidence machine: The problem of trust and challenges (2020)
Yes, OSes have APIs. Another commenter talked about the Mac one, Linux has AT-SPI and Windows has MSAA (historic) and UIA. If I'm not mistaken, they generally are about representing the UI as a tree of items as this is what the accessibility hardware expects / works best with.
Energy per transaction is the fundamental metric of efficiency in market systems.

Literally every single product and service boils down an exchange of currency for some embodied (goods, services) or pure energy (electricity).

Banking services are an exchange of currency for the energy embodied in protecting the accounting system and providing secure access to money.

Crypto mining uses several orders of magnitude more energy per serviced individual than the entirety of the global banking system combined.
Still the average function written by a smart lisp programmer is going to make me sigh, take three deep breathes, and set aside some time to focus, while the average function by a smart Go programmer, I can just read.

This readability loss does counteract the ability to reload forms into a running core. Especially now when i am trying so hard to make everything running be immutable and derived from various git repos.

I second this. There's value in knowing how to behave in situations you deem as hostile, but nothing is more valuable than surrounding yourself with respectful, thoughtful and welcoming people. Doing that helped me to change hostile situations for the better, not only for myself but for other people who also struggle with them.

It's because distances and time durations contract the faster you travel. The passangers don't experience faster than light speeds, just shorter distances.

This is how the twin paradox gets solved. The twin that leaves earth sees the trip as if it was shorter in both directions, so from their perspective it makes sense that they aged less than the twin that remained on earth.

Also, if you had infinite energy and you could travel at the speed of light you wouldn't feel any movement or time passing during your trip, it would feel like instantly teleporting from one place to another. Photons wouldn't feel their existence if they could. From their perspective they are produced in one place and instantly absorbed in another place.

This. Also focus on your culture, your staff, and and other things that cannot be seen in functionality, like performance or running costs. If the competitor does copy your feature, will be built as efficiently, as scaleably, as flexibly, as cost-effectively as your implementation? These are attributes that the competitor cannot steal and the sum-total of these, plus your feature, will ultimately see you win out.

The paper indicates they will "resemble intermediate mass charged black holes". The nearest black hole at the moment, maybe a worm hole candidate, is V723 Monocerotis at 1500 LY away. This would be tens of thousands of years of travel.

Keep an eye on ports 16992-16995, 5900, 623, 664, and realize that packets destined for those ports may never become visible to the OS so you'll have to catch them in transit to the board. Another place to look at is what DHCP leases are issued by your DHCP server, conceivably the management engine could request an address for itself.
I feel like a lot of posts like this are pining for the complete lisp machine -user environment- and overestimating how necessary/important the hardware architecture would be to getting back to that today.

> But there are a few problems with this. The keyword lists always have glaring omissions. Millions of young adults can still easily find dangerous content, such as tips on how to self-harm or kill themselves.

This is an incredibly condescending worldview. If a person's going to commit suicide, allowing them to find methods that aren't likely to fail or cause extreme amounts of pain is incredibly important. By interrupting their access to information, you're likely to end up pushing suicidal people into making attempts using what little information they already know, which can often lead to excruciatingly painful medical consequences for the rest of their lives, whether lasting minutes or decades.

Intervention is good, but pushing for the elimination of the ability to find that content is almost impossible to see as anything but harmful.

You can just drag and drop a file in, it’ll be imported in as the ‘data’ variable, and then you can run Python code/do matplotlib visualisations without installing anything.
