Unless something has changed in the relatively recent past, I think you're overselling a fair bit. Not only does the package author have to understand the C dependency well enough to package it correctly on all platforms (basically by verifying the build in a hermetically sealed environment, and who is doing that?), but also the process for cross compiling is (or at least was) pretty complicated: https://www.modio.se/cross-compiling-rust-binaries-to-armv7..... And even then, I'm not sure this will yield a truly static binary (i.e., no dependency on libc).

In Go, it's just `CGO_ENABLED=0 GOARCH=armv7 GOOS=linux go build` for pure Go programs.
C# has the option of background/concurrent GC. Did that not work for your application?
Do you have any data or survey to back your statement? Forgive me if I've misunderstood you but are you saying that Golang is mostly used by young programmers?

In my experience most Golang developers are highly experienced... Same with Rust.
That was tongue in cheek.

I would say the problem is not to not know which app you are using but muscular reflexes. Sames happen to me if I open gedit, notepad.exe or even an text processor such as writer or word.

I had to put vim binding to make vscode bareable otherwise I kept making errors.

Not sure if you're joking or not... :S
For small companies, variance can be good. For large companies, avoiding surprises is everything. So they cram a bunch of processes to make everyone a B player. That’s great if you’re naturally a C player, and can be less work if you’re a B+ player who wants to coast. But it’s hell hell if you’re an A player who is now working with handcuffs, and getting paid the same as the C player.
it is not because you were not able to monetize it that you were clueless.

the ability to monetize might come from access to capital or social network. often to monetize you need to have money.

working a job or doing contracting is not going to scale. you can only sell a limited number of hours.

and what you can charge is capped by randomly decided on numbers made up by the CFOs or HR departments and by the crab mentality and aversion to organizing.
Lol! That is too funny, and it's great hearing stories like those to remind me that we're all really similar.

I've done the same thing many times in my life out of fear of the sounds or the sm.. you get the point!

Good luck on your project, it's a great idea!

Oh and two thoughts:

- I like the name but I read it in my head at first as "Loo-di-doo" (I'm dyslexic). Then I realized that has a nice ring to it as you can almost hum it. Loodidoo Loodidoo

- For 2nd generation how feasible would it be to add an automatic scent dispenser? So e.g. after X minutes of no movement, spray a nice scent to clear the air.
This should probably be expanded to something more like, "don't hire remote employees living in a jurisdiction whose employment laws you don't know."

The fact states can reach outside their own jurisdiction is pretty insane in my opinion. If I'm sending money to someone who lives in State A, compliance with the regulations of State A should be the responsibility of the person who lives there, not the person who doesn't. This regulatory burden means I would never employ anyone except as a 1099 until my business was large enough hire a full time payroll accountant.

I owe $800 for the “minimum franchise tax”. California charges this fee to everyone for the “privilege” of “doing business” in California, whether they have revenue or not.

How is this not extraordinarily counterproductive? Residents of California have a child, then spend tremendous resources both private and public raising and educating that child. When the child becomes an adult he find an employment opportunity with a company in another state. California behaves as if it would rather him just leave and take all those resources than stay and pay income tax on his earnings that come from out of state.
> Agriculture should move back to this region

It never left, Illinois and Minnesota are the 3rd and 5th largest producers of staple crops (the other being California, Iowa, and Texas, respectively, and CA and TX are only slightly larger in production but massively larger in size). West of the Mississippi, ranching dominates agriculture due to the poor soil and dry climate.

Largely that corn and soy in the Great Lakes region is being used as animal feed for the ranches out west. They already have massive utilization of land area for the production of these crops.
I am one of those in that using Twitter is drinking from a firehose of rage about every single thought people have ever thought.

Twitter's changing hands is unlikely to change that: tech folks I would otherwise follow are still going to insist while talking about javascript that I concern myself with issues of skin color, religion, ethnicity, sex, gender, war, etc.

Whereas I'm just here for the Svelte or whatever.
NFTs as tickets have a fundamental flaw: it is a decentralized front end to a centralized backend. Ultimately there is only one person in full control: the organizer of the event.

So we can easily dismiss all of the claims you made because all these things can be done more easily via non blockchain solutions.
Did other people reach the same conclusion: that it would be good to have a stronger Federal government that can take over states' rights?

I agree that California is bad for remote hiring, and I believe that this is a novel competitive advantage for other states to capitalize on. Asking Congress to "fix" California would starve North Dakota, for example, of the opportunity to make it super tax-cheap to hire remote employees.

Let California tax-implode during a time of unforeseen redistribution of labor.
We've been using sqlc for the past few months building Encore and it's an incredible tool. If it sounds useful I highly recommend checking it out at https://sqlc.dev.
Yeah if I am just playing or learning around new tech, then please delete everything instead of billing me thousands of dollars.

If my business runs of AWS, then rate limit or even reclaim some servers if storage is in S3.

The nightmare scenarios that keep showing up in news are the reason that I stopped playing around in AWS/Cloud.
Yes, that's correct, it would increase its capacity by orders of magnitude, if not temporarily. The capacity of Lake Erie to hold water is set by the elevation of its outlet, which is currently about 174 m above sea level. Niagara Falls is a knickpoint in the Niagara river, and over time knickpoints in rivers are always smoothed out. This is why Niagara Falls is eroding upstream, and we spend money each year trying to minimize this. As it works it way upstream, it will eventually intersect with the outlet of Lake Erie (over geological time scales), and will start to erode the outlet elevation downwards to achieve that nice concave-upwards longitudinal profile indicative of a river in dynamic equilibrium. In doing so, it will reduce the capacity of Lake Erie quite significantly. Someone above stated that the Great Lakes are below sea-level, and that's true for parts of most of the lakes, but not Erie, which has a maximum depth of about 64 m. It will eventually, over the long term become a wide part of the long river connecting Huron and Ontario. By the way, there are plenty of precedents for rivers suddenly and temporarily increasing their capacity to handle a sudden increase in flow; Google 'channelled scablands' and you might be surprised. I often joke with students that I won't want to live in Missisauga on the shores of Lake Ontario, which I do currently, when this event happens. Of course, it's only a joke because we're talking about a very, very long time away. As for the Detroit and St. Claire rivers increasing their capacity to Erie, I'm not sure why that would be necessary. Flow through this newly created 'Erie River' would simply adapt to carry the capacity of water supplied by Huron all the way to Lake Ontario, just as the Niagara river does now. There's no need for upstream change. Just think, the St. Lawrence River has the ability to convey the entire water supplied by all of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.
Read to the end. It eventually talks about monotonic clock bugs that affect every major platform, including Linux.
Additionally, the more repetitive code there is, the more opportunities there are for some subtle difference to be lurking in one particular chunk. And with pervasive boilerplate it becomes easier to eyeglaze past that subtle difference. Whether that difference is a bug or intentional, it's important to have code that highlights it by default.
One of many reasons I fucking hate California.
I am both bemused and empathetic for those who keep having this realization with Go. It is like an abusive relationship and people stay in it too long before realizing it is not going to get any better.

I took a look early on at Go. I tinkered with it and decided it would not work for me.

It lacked a lot of things that any new language should have, given the lessons learned in language design over the last few decades. It was clearly the result of a lot of NIH syndrome. It was built by Plan 9 guys to solve their problems on their preferred platform. For their purpose, I am sure it works just fine and is very comfortable for them. To expect it to be adapted to other kinds of problems and platforms is just wishful thinking.

For years, I have been hearing that Go will get generics and that it will be easy to add and use. I was working with Java before and after generics and saw what a mess it made to not design it in from the beginning. This made me skeptical that Go with generics would be as good as it could be. Now Go finally has generics and many are not happy. This should not be surprising.

This is why I see it as an abusive relationship. That partner you are so fond of is not going to change. Accept that and stay or move on.
My employer did the same thing. They told all of us that they understood if we moved around because of the changing situation, but not to work from outside the state without approval.
Using Streaming, Pipelining, and Parallelization to Build High Throughput Apps
> After years of debate and experiment, even a few free-speech
advocates argue that, while tricky, if done well it "actually
enables more free speech", in the words of Mike Masnick of Techdirt,
a blog. "What content moderation does," he recently wrote, "is
create spaces where more people can feel free to talk."

This interesting argument played out in the comments to this recent
piece on Cheapskates [1]. I think this modern debate is about to slip
on the old banana skin that Bentham, Mill, and other philosophers laid
down in the 18th Century - the difference between positive (enabling
freedoms to) and negative (protective freedoms from) kinds of freedom.

Perhaps we're going to need a better vocabulary to move forward. At
least enough to separate the content (controversial subject) of speech
from the intent (abuse/bullying). Practical absolutism might need to
champion the former by fighting the latter.

Why was this post downvoted? That's my understanding too, the "self employment" tax replaces what the employer would have paid. Is this not the case?
Just to be a bit pedantic (but important), Erlang is not an actor system. It's a system designed for fault tolerance and definable failure domains. Concurrency fell out of those requirements and it just happens to vaguely look like an actor system if you squint hard enough. I don't believe theories of actor systems played into the design of Erlang.

Perhaps some of the blame belongs on the creators of Erlang for kind of jumping on the "actor" (and later, "OOP") bandwagons as marketing? to try to make Erlang less scary.
> Clearly people feel it is a price worth paying.

I was never asked and I really don't think phone scams and ransomware, which are both enabled by cryto currency, is a price worth paying. In fact, I think it's a major disservice to humanity really.
Oh that's nice, somehow I never thought to try Joe. It's 13MB VSZ and 7MB RSS megabytes in my little measurement. emacs-nox is 94/22.
I wonder what problems this project aimed to solve that Akka didn't already solve.
Right. Anything that gets your AGI (adjusted gross income) low that year nullifies whatever California is looking for too.

So expense everything because you're building something revenue producing and spending towards that, trade 1256 contracts more often instead of just random stocks/ETFs willynilly (ie. $SPX options instead of $SPY options, because you actually know what you're trading), tax loss harvest aggressively, borrow against assets to begin with, spend the borrowed or outside capital on the expensable things (you owe whoever you borrowed from - eventually - but not the government, and in some cases can deduct the interest as well). Spend more than you earned that year and you have no tax to pay, achievable via having savings or outside capital to spend. Boost up assets in tax deferred and tax exempt accounts, the usual. Its easy to stagger the tax events across years, such that there is always a counteracting force mitigating taxes during that current year.

The government makes an incentive to transact in certain ways, the velocity of transactions is more important for the economy than taxes, when you fail to do that the government takes a cut of the remainder. (This is true of income and some other taxes, while other forms of taxes support very specific programs directly, and are much smaller)

While that's an unfortunate discovery, I do need to point out that that's a problem of your own making, not SQLite's fault. SQLite is very clear on what you can expect, with dynamic typing being one of the main differences between it and "regular SQL" databases.

Yes, plenty of folks just go for SQLite blindly, but the consequences of that aren't SQLite's doing: if you take the time to read through https://www.sqlite.org/features.html because you want to know what it can actually do, you'll almost certainly click through to https://www.sqlite.org/omitted.html because you'll want to know what it doesn't do, and then you'll see the "See also the Quirks, Caveats, and Gotchas of SQLite." link and you're going to follow it an read through https://www.sqlite.org/quirks.html because those sound pretty important to know about before you commit to using something that is going to be your application/service data store for the foreseeable future.
Can't go wrong with Meshuggah. Plenty of chunky instrumentals
Those argon cases are great. You can buy a new new base for them from argon that holds an M.2 SATA SSD that connects via a usb bridge dongle thing they include. I have one setup like that and it's great.
I see and agree.

"People like this person"... did you even read the post? OP is nowhere near California, doesn't benefit from California's infrastructure at all.
If you have no C dependencies, it’s simple: you ask for the musl libc, and you’re done. It is not more onerous than go.

If you have C dependencies, then it does become a pain, depending on how well those dependencies' -sys packages interface with whatever build system they use.
I rejoice with you, mothers and fathers of Africa!
do you own the music you buy? no. can you modify it and sell it again? no. why? because people spent a few million $ making that record. you paid $20 for a copy. that is why.
I'll play the role of the insufferable pedantic here and note that drums absolutely have an element of tone in addition to rythm and volume: the tuning of the drum heads, where you strike with your sticks (edge of the cymbal vs center of the cymbal), even mirroring what other instruments in the band are playing and accompanying those parts with your drums to augment the perceived tone of those other instruments for the audience. There's a lot you can do with tone!

Aircraft displays need to work in full darkness too. e-Ink might make sense but its price, compared to some LCD screen, might not.

Otherwise, I take from your comment that we're in agreement that "e-Ink is a solution looking for a problem".

that was a typo it should have been billion.

A 'few hundred thousand' is a lot of money to inherit, and for lots of middle-aged people and young families it will go straight back into the housing market, typically in areas that are already quite hot.

Note that the upper quartile having $800k includes $500k which isn't in their primary residence. Older people tend to own cheaper houses than you might think, since they are more likely to live in more rural areas.

If you're 70 and have a house you might be able to live quite a few years on half a million. In practice, you have a decent chance of dying before you spend all your capital.
Which specific regulations would you propose to remove? Everyone loves the idea of reducing regulatory burden but they always fail to give specifics.

For example, hospitals spend a lot of money complying with CMS reporting rules on iatrogenic harm such as bed sores and secondary infections. Should they stop doing that?
"No one wants to have a “rare problem”. But everyone wants to have a rare opportunity."

Which is why there are so many webcrap startups. They don't have to solve any hard new problems. Just combine existing technologies to do something new. "Facebook for cats". (I once watched someone pitch that at a VC conference.)

I've been watching this happen in the metaverse space. Large 3D worlds full of user-created content with high graphics quality and good responsiveness are an unsolved problem. You can have any 3 on that list now. All four, not yet. Serious people at Epic and Roblox are working on it and making progress. Over at Facebook/Meta, they've tried three times and blown through US$10 billion failing at it. The NFT crowd thought they could sell land in virtual worlds they haven't built yet, then throw something together and profit. Most of them either have crappy worlds that look like games from the 1990s (Decentraland, Cryptovoxels), have missed their roadmap deadlines for shipping a product, or just took the money and ran. The US Securities and Exchange Commission catches about two of the last category each month, and is starting to investigate some in the second category. (If you sell an NFT for something that exists, that's usually OK. If you sell an NFT for something that doesn't exist yet, that's a speculative investment and public offering of a security.)
If you're flying commercial, I don't think laws are going to get made for you against the interests of airlines and aircraft manufacturers. And before you think market pressures will work, they know you'll keep flying.
I purchased Jack Jazzrabit from GOG some time ago and it is as fun as I remember it, but it is also clear that they cut a lot of stuff out. There was a place where I would consistently get killed by a murder bee, so I shot some bullets into where it would come out, but it still came out and killed me.

I realized that they despawn the bullets as soon as they are out of range and don't spawn the enemies before they are inside visual range. Both I think would qualify as bugs today.
Closer than some would prefer.
Have you considered using Nextcloud or Owncloud for this purpose? There is a bit more overhead as you are responsible for maintaining the system, but the upside is that you’re in control of the things you’ve mentioned are pain points.

Georgism and Distributism is interesting but short of a plan to actually transition the tax infrastructure in that direction this article reduces to an unactionable history lesson. Still worth reading, but not powerful enough for those who want economic change.

I'd argue that transitioning is an extremely hard problem. The Georgist system taxes property at extreme rates. In particular, the taxes on property ownership are supposed to capture the entire value of renting the property. This means that people owning property with a mortgage would suddenly be forced to sell their property at the near zero prices that Georgism is designed to foster. This is likely to lead to many unhappy homeowners as well as significant loss of capital for all the entities banks sell mortgages to. I think this problem is severe enough that in order to transition to a Georgist society a government might need to absorb every mortgage in the country.

Mortgage debt in the US is currently estimated at 17.6 trillion dollars, slightly more than half of the 30.5 trillion US national debt. Such an expense would be vaguely possible, but extremely sizeable.
"the fitness industry is a graveyard of once-buzzy businesses that abruptly stopped growing—much to their investors’ chagrin—at least in part because they never had a plan to turn anyone into a customer who wasn’t already pretty fit."

Seeing that much of music, frequency and vibrations in general, are geometry, and any sort of structured order in the universe carries an intrinsic mathmatical properties its not hard to see why: rhythms, melody, pattern recognition, numbers, hand eye coordination, memory, concentration, improvisation, listening.

Music is synchronization of all these skills that are built over time. You could read a book on calculus and start solving problems but you wouldn't be able to read a book on the piano and start playing any meaningful sounding pieces.

So much of training, especially classical music, puts heavy emphasis on fundamentals I listed. It's only when you reach a certain breakthrough in proficiency in all the skills listed, you are in position to start taking on new scores but even then requires you to apply the same set of training although sight reading is probably the biggest measure of one's musical abilities.

A Dark Room is an idle/clicker game, so far I intentionally avoided this genere, I was looking for something more appropriate for short gaming sessions and also something less casual. I also find these games too addictive and not relaxing enough; perhaps the clicker game genre didn't click for me... What do others think, do you enjoy idle/clicker games? Do you return to them often?
