How much demand is there truly for handmade products from independent creators? It is possible that Etsy has decided that is no longer a market that is worth pursuing and they would rather try to compete with Amazon and AliExpress. It is often better to have a small piece of a huge pie than the majority of a tiny pie.
Where do you draw the line, that it's actually written as HTML or that it uses HTML/DOM for rendering?

Most apps built with Electron, and similar, run with HTML (you can argue that it's mostly JS, but it's all rendered in the HTML DOM).

Many STB's and modern TV's run some kind of HTML/browser engine. Some graphics engines for TV broadcasts. Plenty of kiosks and digital signage.
Well I'm not talking about people supporting Etsy though, I'm talking about Etsy itself.

Like one possible story is that Etsy does this and it's shitty for sellers and maybe a lot of buyers too, but it ends up making Etsy successful in the long-run so they don't care.

That's not the story I'm telling though, it's one where Etsy chases medium-term revenue at the cost of their long-term niche and thus their long-term success. If me and GP are right, in theory Etsy itself ought to not want this to happen.
Self-hosting Jira is running a big Java application that has its own directory structure and talks to a Postgres database. It really isn't hard. Even upgrades are automated using shell scripts, although you do need to manually replace some configuration files afterwords for some damn reason. Configuring Jira is complicated, but that's the same regardless of whether you self-host.
I don’t know about this site, and I agree its unethical. But it does make me realize that I much prefer using language of the paper directly as opposed to having a non-expert poorly
translate what your paper said. Especially given how papers put a lot of time in the accuracy and specificity of their language and word choices.

Would it also annoy you if they screwed up the interpretation of what you wrote? Is the alternative less reach of your work? For hard core research the tradeoffs are tougher it seems. If it is just a matter of non-nevermind, thats strictly messed up.
As a Windows guy who uses Linux on servers only, I used to install samba onto the servers and map a drive to that (over a hardware VPN). These were servers that I had full control over. I'd use an IDE on Windows and directly edit the code. Save, reload in Browser, see changes.

Now due to changes in where I host my stuff, I can't do that anymore, and I'm struggling to find a simple solution. I have recently discovered that WinSCP can 'edit' a file by pulling it locally into a temp folder, opening your IDE of choice, and then auto resyncing the file to remote server whenever the local copy changes. It's OK as a workflow, but not as flexible as having an open folder to just drop stuff into.

I know the latest version of Dreamweaver has the same sort of thing built in which would be better... But as a hobbyist, I just can't afford that.

I do a similar thing for my side project. Note that the clang that comes with Xcode (Apple clang) doesn’t have wasm support.
While there are plenty of other more powerful solutions suggested here, I prefer my fairly light weight option - WinSCP connecting to the remote server over SFTP, then opening the files I want to change in my preferred editor (Sublime Text). WinSCP handles uploading file changes to the remote server automatically; there might also be a way to trigger actions on upload, but that gets into specifics of how your codebase is setup / what you need to run to test changes. Bonuses of using WinSCP are drag-and-drop file transfers, and a pretty thorough site manager (/address book / credential storage / login manager, whatever you want to call it).

Zoho has worked well for me for years.
the webpages require a little digging, but they have an examples page.

looks like it's a set of dsp functions where the filter graph is constructed by composing the functions in functional style and then passing it to a render function at the end.

so kinda like big data style composition of functions (like the scala stuff people often write to run on spark clusters) but with dsp/audio building blocks running in the browser instead.
But... That curation is a VERY expensive task.

Etsy is for artists/creators. If you add curation to the mix one side needs to take a hit - and it ain't going to be your wallet.

Basically the reason for Etsy to exist is "direct to consumer" model, with low intermediary overhead and 0 setup hurdles.

(If you ever tried to get a product on a supermarket shelf, that's how it is to get onto a successful curated store shelf)
> If you changed std, and also banned 3rd party libraries code from using unsafe you could probably make the system secure. But I'm worried that the rust community might not be willing to pay that cost for extra security.

Anyone will be willing to pay a cost when the benefit is well-defined and exceeds that cost. "Make the system secure" doesn't have a well-defined meaning, because security isn't binary like that.

Banning `unsafe` from all non-std deps is pretty hard for most real-world Rust software unless std grows a lot larger. Even apart from domains with a lot of necessary unsafe, like embedded, you have crates like `bytes` or `tokio` that use unsafe for performance reasons.

A realistic discussion about this stuff always has to involve trust. I don't have much issue with tokio containing unsafe, given its track record and the quality of the code. OTOH, I don't allow actix in my dependency trees because its history of using unsafe unnecessarily and unsoundly means that I don't trust it.

To me, a more interesting approach for improving supply chain security in software builds on the issue of trust rather than things like technical capabilities. Rust has some interesting work in this area already, like cargo-crev for distributed code review, cargo-deny for applying rules to your dependency tree, cargo-geiger for seeing which dependencies are using unsafe, etc.
Yes. I wish they wouldn't. The potential danger of China having serious socio-governmental problems as a result of food shortages and policy collisions with Western powers is getting more significant every day. If Xi decides impending demographic collapse means taking Taiwan now is better than taking it later Apple and the rest of Western electronics giants could see their China access disappear overnight.
These networks (text models) usually have around a few thousand inputs.
When you host Jira yourself, the monthly subscription pays for Software + Software updates. When Atlassian hosts it for you, you're paying for Software + Software Updates + Service (hosting). When you hosted yourself, a team gets blasted for not monitoring it or updating it correctly. When Atlassian fails to do it (and charges for it) then they get the heat.

All that to say, I don't think it's a weird phenomenon, it's just you're realizing that you're paying someone else for something that's not delivered on.

I'm impressed - but not necessarily surprised - by the amount of inline guidance that the system gave. These systems must have been cumbersome to wrap one's head around, more so when there was little precedent for using them. The designers, who likely were quite technical for their time, took those extra steps to understand the frames of reference of the users, and explain the system from that frame.

Contrast to today, where user interfaces have largely lost the discoverability principle, and help is often asking someone else who's ridden the wave to where we are today.

In some ways it seems like a classic case of trying to solve the wrong problem because the wrong problem potentially has a technical solution. The real problem is making lots of interesting content for people to watch. If you can solve that problem then a simple system of categories is perfectly sufficient for people to discover content. But that’s not a technical problem, and all those engineers have to be given something to do.

They can raise short-term profits this way. The problem is that there's only so much rent you can seek before it becomes unprofitable for sellers. It turns out that "industrial-scale" sellers, copycats and outright scammers have lower operating costs which means they can stick around and replace the independent creators that have essentially been priced out of the market. Of course, in the long-term it will be the death of the company, but by that time, bonuses would've been paid, raises would've been awarded, stock would've vested and lots of "shareholder value" would've been created.

They've also recently bought Depop for a significant amount of money and I'm not sure if it's profitable, so they might be intentionally cannibalizing their earlier product to make money to prop up the next one.

definition of "heresy" is quite clear in the article:

- the fact that it's heresy takes priority over the question of truth or falsity

- it outweighs everything else the speaker has done (I would add that the implication of that is "disproportionate punishment").

By this definition, yes, getting excluded from your family for stating some opinion is proof that said subject is taboo/ said opinion is "heresy" in your family. But, all kinds of families are broken in all kinds of different ways; surely you can find fascist families in USA - that doesn't make the USA society fascist. You can find atheist families too! (and nobody would claim the US is atheist). The question is: is the concept of "heresy" making a come-back at the level of the entire society?

> the "Parental Rights in Education" bill

Didn't know about it (I'm not a US citizen), and yes it's a dumb and wrong law by the sound of it. Even so I think it falls a bit short of fitting the definition of "legal enforcement of heresy" unless it extends outside the classroom (to opinions stated - privately or publicly - by teachers in their spare time).

(btw, I am not claiming heresy is only enforced by the US left. However, this fact only makes things worse, not better - it's sad that this practice is excused by "the others are worse" mantra. Even if/when it's true, and "the others" really are worse.).

I always thought it would be a good idea to start a journal that has a lab submit their methods and intent of study for peer review and approval / denial PRIOR to performing the work. Then, if approved, and as long as they adhere to the approved methods, they get published regardless of outcome. That would really encourage the publishing of negative results and eliminate a lot of the incentive to fudge the numbers on the data. It would probably overly reward pre-existing clout, but frankly that's a problem ANYWAY.
I think making the capabilities the responsibility of the app (i.e., having the app handle tokens and pass them around) won't work, for a couple reasons:

(A) it's tricky for the app to protect itself. The executing app code tells the system what the executing app code is allowed to do. It's tricky to get right -- you have to manage the trust boundaries internally yourself, and it will be easy to get wrong.

(B) capabilities tend to depend on the environment, not just the app. E.g., production vs. staging vs. dev environments may well want different capabilities.

(C) capabilities are probably best expressed declaratively, but putting tokens into into APIs makes the app handle them procedurally. Once an apps capabilities need to go beyond the trivial, this will really explode the complexity, making it brittle and very difficult to handle correctly. E.g. suppose you use express... how would it know how to pass tokens to its dependencies? It would sort of need to understand your app's security model, which it can't do. What would actually happen is express would presume a certain model and pass tokens it receives accordingly. App dev would adjust the tokens it passes to express, adjusting until it works. So that at least works even if responsibilities are mixed up. But now express can't make internal changes to the way it calls it dependencies without risk of breaking apps that take the update.

Anyway, I'm thinking the capabilities need to be specified external to the app.

Say, in a config file (or files) of some sort. The app could only be allowed at most read access to the capabilities file(s); (A). There are some pretty common and straightforward ways to customize config for different environments; (B). A config file lends itself naturally to a declarative form; (C).
The article focuses mainly on offset through forest.
The word forest is mentioned 11 times and the word solar is mentioned 2 times in the article.
Solar panels are a much more tangible form of offsets given they produce energy that can be measured.
Also insulation and temperature can be measured and are much more quantitative.
The author picks on purpose the hardest offsets to measure/quantify in order to support the anti-offset claims.

Cancer is not one thing - it's like saying "food is just one thing; how do we replace/control food". Well the goal is far too complex to even have meaning. The easier path is "How do we accept death?"

What about wealth inequality?

Not that long ago, in a time when people were supposed to be Too Civilized To Be Doing That Sort Of Thing Any More, my family's property happened to be forcibly nationalized by a totalitarian invasion. Have you lived through the arduous and fraud-ridden process of restitution of nationalized property half a century afterwards, after most records were destroyed? Your people probably weren't out on the streets, starving, when the banks screwed up, either... except maybe for that 2008 thing where some jerks offloaded to some other jerks some formally incorrect financial instruments that also happened to contain 10 million people's houses in them?

I learned to consciously control this after reading about the reflex years ago. The easiest way to "find" the muscle is to swallow slowly and pay attention to the feeling in your ear canals. Most people naturally use these muscles slightly when chewing or swallowing. I can hold it for several seconds before it starts to feel like an exertion. You'll know that you've got it when you can voluntarily hold a quivering/vibrating sensation in the ear along with external sound dampening.

It is not a substitute for earplugs around dangerous sounds and you cannot hold it for hours to block out the sound of an airplane engine. The only time I ever had a practical use for this was when I heard someone leaving a movie theater start to discuss what was obviously about to be a major spoiler with their friend as I was entering. The utility there comes purely from it being socially unacceptable to interrupt a stranger or suddenly cover your ears, while nobody else can see if you're using your tensor tympani.

From what I read, Putin is not insane in a strict sense, but he based his decision on wrong information (Ukrainians hate their government and will not put up a fight). He would probably not get the same wrong information about Finland and Sweden - it would be much less plausible and the history-based Russian biases don't exist. Well, I still see the point for Finland and Sweden.
Not quite.

> The current Govt stance is 'Make in India', meaning if a foreign company needs to sell a product they need to manufacture it in the country.

The stated goal of the Make in India campaign was "to transform India into a global design and manufacturing export hub." The reality is the share of exports in the economy shrunk since 2014.

The dear leader then embarked upon the ~Juche~ AatmaNirbhar path and now wants foreign companies to set up manufacturing in India and is offering production linked incentives in handpicked industries. FWIW, it seems to be working. But whether focusing on capital intensive prestige manufacturing instead of labour intensive industries is the right approach remains to be seen.

And protectionism has been the hallmark of Indian economic policy since independence. High tarriffs on luxury goods like mobile phones or cars is not even remotely new.

I work with a lot of Etsy sellers and the parts of this I am familiar with and can confirm are:

* resellers - I see lots of sellers with thousands or tens of thousands of products. These sellers are obviously not making craft items. Etsy does nothing to limit this from what I've seen and experienced. And come on, I'm sure Etsy makes more money from these sellers, so what's their incentive to stop them (other than killing their platform).

* extreme AI actions - If you build an app to connect to Etsy's API, you'll need to test it of course. Except that Etsy's AI will ban your account for performing any testing. I hope you don't use that app to support hundreds of Etsy sellers, because they all get screwed. Wait several days to hear back, and then they tell you some silly tricks to avoid getting caught by their AI when testing next time. No real test environment and no promise they won't turn around and ban you again tomorrow for the same thing.

It feels like they're slowly building another Amazon, and haven't learned any lessons other than that's where the money is.
