You're assuming the west (or the US specifically) is not actually helping Ukraine out in this way. They've been on this since weeks before the invasion even happened. By putting it all out there, they really messed with Putin's plans.

I've always assumed they've been helping Ukraine out with propaganda. This whole invasion is like a wonderful insight into the Russian military for the US which would be invaluable. Or maybe they already knew that anyways.

I've been very impressed with Ukraine, seriously. Even if others' are helping, so what - they're not the ones who invaded a neighbouring country.

If you want to resell an NFT with a contract that takes a cut on transfers, you can wrap the NFT in another NFT that owns the original. Now you've created a tradeable derivative. Ownership is verifiable, and the derivative is tradeable without a cut to the original creator. The owner of the derivative can, if they want, unwrap the item and get back the original NFT. This is like taking physical delivery of a commodity.

NFT wrapping as a service already exists.[1][2] In beta.

> On this date, Solar Orbiter will be less than 1/3 the distance from the sun to Earth. That’s [...] about 1/3 of an astronomical unit (AU).

Does the journalist know what an AU is?

For those that don't know, an AU is the distance from the earth to the sun, so you could just as well write:

"On this date, Solar Orbiter will be less than 1/3 the distance from the sun to Earth. That’s 29.8 million miles (48 million km) or about 1/3 of the distance from the sun to Earth."

(And yes, since if I don't point this out someone else will, strictly speaking the AU is defined as some fixed number of meters. But that number wasn't pulled out of a hat...)
(1) I read a book, which helped quite a bit: "Contact, the first 4 minutes" by Leonard Zunin. Still available on Amazon, or perhaps at your local library. Lots of good tips.

I (now) have fun interactions with people in (for example) grocery store lines, thanks to the tip that in these circumstances that you should comment on something immediately visible, so you have a shared starting point/reference point. I'll point to a People magazine or National Enquirer-type rag and say "I miss the days when there headlines about Elvis in a flying saucer", which will provoke a laugh and (often) a comment. Of course, I'm talking to people my age (in their sixties) so they remember that too. Adapt as needed to make it age-appropriate.

It also lays out strategies for how to connect in less transient situations.

As others have said, practice is very helpful.

I was painfully shy and spoke haltingly as a young adult. I'm now very comfortably extraverted.

Personally I need scheduled social interaction. Something that happens with other people every Wednesday evening whether I'm feeling good or feeling bad. Or maybe every third Wednesday. Or one Wednesday a year. It does not matter. I do not cancel same day unless forced externally.

I have enough of these on my calendar that it's not possible for me to retract from the world, but not so many as to be overloaded.

Sometimes I need a mental health day/week/month and I try to pre-plan these as far in advance as possible, to try to run around the needy last minute lizard brain.
Logging all of their interactions is probably a good idea in case you do need to lawyer up
If their business is politics, yes. Same as if their business is coal, cannabis, HR, media, airlines, whatever.
This won’t be of help necessarily, but for me the two necessary steps were gender transition and ADHD medication. Nothing else worked, not any willpower or effort-based therapies. In the end, it took hormones and brain meds to make me able to function. It didn’t make me less awkward or shy. It just made me less anxious about being so.
> Yet, it appears the median and mean Lisp programmer is producing Yet Another (TM) test framework, anaphoric macro library, utility library, syntactic quirk, or half-baked binding library to scratch an itch. Our Lisp programming environments are less than what they were in the 80s because everybody feels the current situation with SLIME and Emacs is good enough.

I don't think this is true. Not anywhere close. Most such examples are small, and probably only took a small number of hours to produce. While "superlative" stuff takes very many man hours to create. So just by seeing that there are many throwaway testing frameworks or whatever, you cannot tell where most of the work hours actually go. A half baked binding library takes 20 minutes to make, while a proper high quality rendering engine takes hundreds if not thousands of hours.

The Lisp population is thin on people making cool shit because the Lisp population in general is thin.

I often do know how to help people deal with non suicidal depression but I dont always have time and energy to help…and I definitely cannot program a computer to do what I know how to do.

I don’t have any clue how to help someone reduce suicidal intent.
> Also why do people keep ignoring the "For a linux user" part?

Because people like to feel superior and it is more fun for them to be trite while doing it; it is the same reason why people keep referencing the early reviews of the iPod, ignoring that that device did suck and only became popular years later when they made both product improvements and introduced iTunes.

> If you can't make a basic clone of most websites in a month, you're not a very good web dev team.

Also: 100% this. People then like to whine about "but the scale is impossible to pull off" and frankly that isn't even true either (though to do it cost effectively I agree would be difficult, but if you don't know how to throw together something very similar to Twitter that could even handle billions of users with just a few engineers in a month in 2022 using all of the tooling we now have at our disposal then you are clearly an amateur)... the hard part isn't building the tech now, it is bootstrapping an actual community, which maybe Elon could do? or maybe he couldn't. I'm pessimistic, but I also wouldn't be shocked if he pulled it off.
Seems absolutely normal, nothing to worry about

Oh ok, so people don't make the difference between a mobile phone and a computer. That is also why they don't know how to use a TV because it's not like a smartphone, right ?

That was a very bad idea from the very start. But it's the motto Gnome 3 was built on... I agree with the initial comment, Human-Computer Interraction SCIENCE went down the toilet drain to be replaced with so called UI/UX "experts"
What’s the sword, exactly?
Thanks, will put this on my to do list this week.
No, I don’t want to set up VPNs. I was hoping there was a provider that makes an app and manages the NAT traversal for remote access. I would like the users to not know the difference and the app be smart enough to figure out when the camera is on the local network.
I don’t think taking MDMA is a prerequisite to realizing that you can become a different person.

> So aren't you saying that we shouldn't even try to tax their income, because they'll find a way to avoid paying income tax? Should the government just give up and only tax the poor, who can't afford to pay people to find these clever schemes

That appears to be the status quo as-is, at least in the US? Thanks to the "herp derp don't tax me!!" republicans in power at various times, the US now has a dwindling middle class with ever-less money, a burgeoning lower class who by very definition have no money, and wealthy folks who can afford good accounts.

> I actually think that a wealth tax, for practical reasons, needs to be agreed across all major democracies

Good luck with that. Just look at how corporations fought the global 15% minimum tax tooth-and-nail over the past few years.

Mozilla was shipping Electron-style runtimes before Electron even existed—when computers with 128MB of RAM were still being used. These apps worked. The powers that be, in their infinite wisdom, decided to kill it (because obviously nobody wanted anything like that! the important thing is to do a phone!) That was going on ~10 years ago.

The worst part is that the people who fucked that up refuse to acknowledge they were wrong. No amount of evidence is enough to penetrate their big dumb egos.
When we were running it prod we had it randomly go down multiple times. It doesn't scale past a single node either.

These days there are really affordable app hosting platforms like DO or Render.
funny enough, was asking my self the same question yesterday after 5-minute googling didn’t get me anywhere. I see a recommendation mentioned below, but as I also saw, hard to find something where you can control signal to noise ratio
My first thought was that it would try something like this. For a given sensitivity it's much easier to detect the 700W signal than the 2W one.
FWIW, they're shouting '발사' (balsa), i.e. launch/fire, not 'banzai'.
If it took only 2 years, it was easy. I’ve travelled around the world and did most of the possible side quests, including the workout phase, the guitar phase, the charity/vegan phase, the millionaire phase, and I’m still transparent to women. And I’ve grown bitter.

I did everything I could. I’d say “please, help” but to be honest, I’ve grown too bitter to hear the advice. It’s a game designed to make me lose, I’m neither BALM nor female, so they just want to exclude me.
There could be an exemption for shares in companies that were founded less than N years ago (with the shares being taxed at the point of sale).
> I won a Google home max in an internal contest and immediately gave it away. I have an Alexa.

That made me laugh :)
I see. I would still need to set something up for remote access via NAT traversal or something. I’m hoping I can buy a solution that does that transparently.
Some tricks that helped me:

- practice in situations with low stakes (for example there are social situations where everybody meet for a short time and never again - these are perfect cause even if you panic and make a scene - it's no big deal - for me it was fantasy conventions - added bonus is that there's stuff to do and a lot of people there are awkward too)

- practice the part you can deal with first (for example I had problems with home parties because at the beginning there will be only a few people and talking with them would put a lot of attention on me which I found hard back then - so I would go to bathroom for a moment and go back when others started talking about something and the attention was shifted - this made it much easier to just experience talking with random people without having to deal with the hard part at the beginning)

- after you're fine in one context - challenge yourself in other contexts (I still have some situations I never practiced or that last happened when I was still the weird teenager in high school - and I can be very awkward in these situations which usually takes me by surprise - but they happen very rarely now)

- expose yourself on purpose - ultimately the goal is to be able to behave naturally without pretending to be someone else. When you're feeling good enough with someone - telling some of the "awkward stories" is a good way to get there - you show them your real self and "disarm" them preventively (vast majority of people won't attack you about stuff you share with them as a funny story even if it's really weird).
How SaaS companies ask for in-app product feedback
I'd add also a few points

* Unappealing UI makes the site look boring. Furthermore, users have to be comfortable with the fact that there's no "easy" content, I.e., memes and one liners.

* Comment score is mostly irrelevant, so users don't try optimizing their score. This leads to better discussion.

* Only one board. Things stay on topic, as users from that toxic subboard don't leak elsewhere. So "bad" types of users don't have a place to hang out here, unlike Facebook or Reddit.

I'm much happier commenting here than on Reddit. It's demoralizing to put effort into a comment and then be buried under one liners and memes.
Why should you do anything?
Also, it’s not like youtube isn’t popular exactly due to the freely generated content on it, not in spite of their hosting costs.
I like the approach.

For myself, I have always loathed the MVP concept, and that has not made me fans; especially amongst this crowd. I've learned to just bite my tongue, and do things the way I do.

I'm in the later stages of a fairly ambitious native Swift UIKit iOS app (around 40 screens). It has been in progress for about 18 months (over two years, if you consider the backend, which I also wrote).

During that time, I have been sharing the built app with the team, using Apple's TestFlight beta-test system. I made my first TestFlight release on October 4, 2020. Since then, I've made around 600 releases. It's abusing the TestFlight process, which is really supposed to be an "end-stage" service, but it's worked well for us, and the Quality of the app is through the roof.

We have also made several massive pivots, and have settled on a UX that we think users will love, and will address the needs of the community that it Serves (It's a free app, for a non-profit).

I couldn't even imagine this being out there, during the last year or so (when we first thought we had a "viable" product). It would have completely destroyed any credibility we had (and we actually have quite a bit).
You can also use node to execute webassembly programs.

You do have to create a js host file, load in your webassembly and then run it with node.

So it was a lot of effort, and now they're inviting Big-G and Cloudflare to contact them to possibly achieve a paltry 30%-ish speed increase for certain scenarios? Or are they inviting app devs who want faster video uploads to reach out? What is the actual use case where the sometimes 30% improvement matters and actually moves the needle?!

Why hasn't Tachyon been working with their prospective customers and warming them up the whole time, or at least working the social and investor nets and reaching out proactively already?

This strategy is kind of like being a dweeb at a poorly lit school dance and hoping the most popular girl at the dance somehow notices you're wearing shoes that let you float a centimeter in the air. Cool trick, bud.

Presumably it's not a $10/mo service contract. Is this really an effective strategy when building and selling to enterprise these days? To me it sounds like a risky and hard way to make less money than what is possible using tried and true product development strategies. To be fair, I have also made this mistake before. It was embarrassing enough as a solo-founder, and seems less forgivable with larger founding group sizes, because it means more folks agreed to support and follow such a sub-optimal harebrained scheme :)

You all sound like very capable software engineers, and I know it's both fun and satisfying to build and make The Thing.

Good luck, sincerely.

p.s. You may also consider pursuing some of the medium sized targets like Backblaze, Rackspace, Larry Ellisons Oracle OCI, or Microshaft Azure.

I had a colleague die in his cubical at Lockheed...

I was IT director and I had to do a post mortem (no pun intended) about his activities in the facility by checking his badge-ing in and out of various doors to determine the time of death... that was super fn weird.

We were able to determine he went to the break room at ~1am or something, made himself a cup of tea, went back to his cube and died before he even drank his tea.
There is no skill on this earth that we can't become proficient in with practice. Stop thinking about interpersonal interactions as if they are some "innate" class of knowledge, they aren't! Drawing, painting, carpentry, programming, sport, there is no mysticism or innate ability. Obviously everyone has their own advantages more beautiful, more athletic, smarter, faster thinker, better hand-eye coordination, but not one of these advantages is a replacement for PREPERATION AND PRACTICE.
why is anyone surprised - she's been like this for her entire career....pletny has been writen about it.
Yes, but that's the point, if the user has it installed by default then there won't be much of a penalty if a website chooses to use another language than JavaScript.

Right now, WASM interpreters only really make sense for teaching and exposition with REPLs, where the user probably won't mind large downloads in order to do something out of the ordinary. Shipping interpreters would instead make that ordinary.
I’m super excited about this being integrated upstream.

Long ago we compiled Python 3.6 and published to WAPM: https://wapm.io/python/python (you can run it online there!)

I wonder if we could publish the new version also! I think we got the Python repl properly running so it would be interesting trying to have that working on the new version too
Gecko-/XULRunner-based applications (like Firefox) predate Electron by many, many years.
Nah, java can be decompiled really really well. To the point that basically every app uses obfuscation to make the resulting code harder to comprehend.
Like a .jar file?
What are you talking about? Apple doesn’t charge for OS updates, yet provides years of support for all its devices. The alternative is charging for updates, or going the android route and selling out users while while also not providing any updates.

Google can give away android because Android is stalkerware that feeds their ad revenue.

You are dismissive of one technology (which the article never implies is ready), then bring up a battery technology that is even more irrelevant (for the reasons you state).

> Lithium will be a huge cost even in LFP batteries as you can't take it out.

The figure I have heard is ~5% of the battery cost is related to the cost of Lithium. The cost of the raw Lithium compounds is not a dominant factor in the cost of most Lithium batteries, for example see https://pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/271367/1-s2.0-S037877531... I did some googling to find something recent that could compare the raw costs of materials, but they usually only break it down to the cost of the cathode material rather than individual metal compounds. https://www.crugroup.com/knowledge-and-insights/spotlights/n... imply that Nickel and Cobalt costs dominate currently.
Do you believe he was aware ofher activities? For decades the two have bragged about knowing everything about the other, thinking with one mind, etc. You see no conflict in a Supreme Court Justice, being aware of a plot to overthrow the government and doing nothing?
The article mentioned something about the company being liable for anything that happens if there is no driver. At first that didn't sound quite right to me, aren't they already liable to that degree? Then I remembered contractors etc.

I do think, having a human in the loop who's life is on the line in any accident, will tend to be more creative in avoiding one than software would be.

Training an AI to avoid simulated accidents is not a complete solution. For one thing, there will always be novel situations not trained for, and for another, the AI has no visceral fear of its own death.
This article expresses the ancient Python(/Matlab) v Fortran argument beautifully ... but it's kind of shocking that the argument is still going on at all. My generation came out of school happy to use FORTRAN indirectly, via a scripting language, for rapid prototyping. That was 30 years ago.
>> Justices are subject to a federal law that prohibits them from hearing cases in which their spouses have “an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding.” The statute, 28 U.S.C. section 455, also requires them to disqualify themselves from any proceedings in which their “impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”

> How can you argue this isn't applicable?

It really hinges on how exactly "interest" is defined, and if it's so broad to cover a desire to see/advocacy for certain political outcomes.

Should a liberal judge recuse themselves from all abortion cases because their spouse made a donation to Planned Parenthood or wrote letters to their representatives advocating against some anti-abortion law that may come before the court?
