"the US should be divided into two"

I've been thinking along those lines myself lately - like India and Pakistan partitioning in 1947.

It's not only depressing but it's a tragedy for the country especially at a time when China is on the ascendancy, Russia is becoming more Stalinist like and the world generally is becoming a more dangerous place.

The lack of a common narrative within the US is potentially devastating not only for the US itself but also other Western democracies. This division within the US ought to be of primary concern to US citizens but it doesn't seem so.

I'm not in the US and I can't help feeling that the decline of the US and its world influence is of more concern to people like me than it is for many US citizens.

As I said it's very depressing and many of us on the outside are looking on helplessly knowing that we can do nothing about it.
I suppose grabbing more layers and tools instead of thinking deeply about why you're having the problem and resolving it at its core is the growing pain I'm referring to.

On the other hand perhaps the industry is being ever-increasingly led by a younger workforce who already came into this ecosystem, and there's less chance of a full retro/introspective about why things are they way they are.

With the state of the world today, I'm genuinely surprised we haven't seen a resurgence of cults taking advantage of disenfranchised youth in the world. I guess with movements like ISIS and what-not, we definitely are seeing it in some fashion.

But I am legitimately surprised we haven't seen a return to alternative spirituality cults like we seemed to have (at least in the US) in the 60's and 70's.

> public awareness of SpaceX petered out as it went from experimental to production

SpaceX's Starship rocket is in very active development. If Starship flies and lands, it will fundamentally change humanity's relationship to space. Given the the success of SpaceX's Falcon rockets, there's good reason to believe that they'll be able to pull it off.
I like the London practice of having a small square of park in the center among the homes. Although it seems a practice of wealthier urban areas, the parks are gated, the home owners have a key and they pay for the upkeep. I don't know how common this is. NYC Central Park is beautiful and vast, but sometimes I wonder if cities need more smaller little parks. There's a lovely lawn behind Rodin's house in Paris where people go and stretch out, tall trees on the perimeter and open space, it's very beautiful and relaxing to view.

Parks and gardens seem an afterthoughts in American urban planning. The National and state parks are gems but not accessible near the cities.

Edited to add, there's a very good Economist article about building miniature forests in cities, I can't find it right now but here's an article that was referenced: https://daily.jstor.org/the-miyawaki-method-a-better-way-to-...

Somebody mentioned Rome downstream, one more thing I love about Rome, all the public fountain water is potable. There's something so awesome about going to the fountain and getting water that you can drink.

I've managed to get it to build about half way;

1. In linux

2. Install wine 7.5 (other versions may work, this is what I used)

3. Create a 32-bit wineprefix on a *case-insensitive* ext4 drive (https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2020/08/27/usin...)

4. Download MSVC 2.0 (https://winworldpc.com/product/visual-c/2x), extract and install it into the 32-bit wineprefix
- Make sure you use `wine32 winecfg` and set the OS to Windows 95

5. Copy the files to C:\3d inside the wineprefix

6. Enter command prompt from wine (`wine32 cmd`)

7. `set include=C:\MSVC20\INC`

8. `.\setvars.bat`

9. `nmake`

Unfortunately wine segfaults for me when compiling one of the BRender files :'(

EDIT: Now I have Bren and Engine building! Studio does not build, reports that it doesn't know how to generate 'C:\3d\kauai\obj\wins\utilglob.obj'. Probably something simple...
Public school is not for training workers, it is for training well-informed citizens who can make voting decisions.

Training workers has been, and should continue to be, the job of employers.
> The purpose of school isn't to create employees.

I'm not OP, but I think his question is more, "Why does school set people up to be disappointed by the jobs available to them?" Not, "Why does school teach things that aren't necessary on a job site?"

The ambiguous intention behind the question has spawned two separate discussions in this thread, one of which isn't that interesting because I think we all agree (that there's more to life and education than employment).

If I'm right and his stance is the first, I'm sympathetic to it. The system, while training people for jobs better than what will actually exist for them, isolates people from its most broken aspects (workplaces), promising betterment and skill advancement, during the age of peak revolutionary energy. By the time they figure out what employment really is--for most people, an exploitative and unforgivable waste of their time--they are already in their late 20s, and any revolutionary movement has been deprived of their most energetic years.

Many people are suggesting this is due to culture change. I think that’s wrong.

The lat century was a period of intense growth which was coupled with growing headcounts.

This century is growing much less, while tech is reducing headcounts across the board. And lowering skill requirements and skill acquisition on the job.

A shipping assistant when Walter began probably did a lot more than a shipping assistant starting now. A baker machine operator too, potentially.
>You were able to "get away" with implementing a pretty bare bone thing, but you called it out as something that should be viable in general.

I can see how you had this impression from the language of the blog post, but what I meant to express is that the approach generalizes, even if this specific code does not.

>The web is full of those (response and request headers, query string parameters), data formats (JSON is basically a hashtable plus some fancy pieces) , caches (that are just hash tables), etc.

The web generally falls well outside of the target use-cases for Hare.
Of course there is more to it than a single dimension, I just didn't think it necessary to write out each and every consideration as the risk analysis will change per user.

I feel like some of my best "gaming memories" are with things that aren't even entirely games at all, but instead creation tools tailored towards kids. I spent many hours with 3D Movie Maker, but also the Spiderman Cartoon Maker, Kidpix, the PS1 version of RPG Maker, and more recently Pico-8.

I think there's a viscerally satisfying feeling you get when making something that you just don't get when you're playing someone else's game. 3DMM might have had 1% of the budget of a modern Call of Duty game, but I'll remember the time I spent playing 3DMM substantially more.
That’s very common in Asia where any rooms with a water source (kitchen, bathroom) also has a floor drain. Even balconies often do.

Not common at all in the US though new construction may include them in laundry rooms.

They’re actually a really smart idea and pretty much eliminates the risk of a water source leaking.

Its not that surprising. Even though Romans had concrete, they didn't build many building wholly of concrete. The British Romans did use concrete in their buildings. Especially in floors, walls, and as mortar to bind building elements. But there is no evidence of any Roman building in Britain made with concrete as the primary building material.

Nope. Just wish the posts would remain in chronological order.
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? The process may span over months but obviously most of that is waiting, so if you are happy with your job (enough to stay a few more months) but would be happier with Google (enough to interview with them), I don't see the intrinsic problem.
Thank you! Sheesh! Nature is the, uh, state of Nature. As you say, it's the baseline. So really: "Civilization has enormous emotional and cognitive burdens on people." is the actual situation.

Natural systems are effectively infinite fractals, most urban structures are flat and relatively featureless by comparison. Living in a city is sensory deprivation combined with overwhelming discordant stimuli (engines and sirens mostly.) And that's before you get to the incredible chemical burden of living in a city. In fact, until very recently, cities were populations sinks. People died in cities faster than they were born.

Hi I know nothing about coding whatsoever. Im curious why would someone set up a something like this? You would have to host your own mail server correct? Is it to have control over your data? Is it just "simpler" and faster than gmail?
> Students are clients

I can't agree. The logical conclusion to this line of thinking is, e.g., that students shouldn't be challenged or made to do anything that they disagree with. This philosophy necessarily requires fundamentalist Christian students being able to opt out of biology and left-leaning students being able to opt out of history and economics.

Students are not the clients. Society is. Which is also why education should be entirely publicly funded.
From Wolfram Math World

> Reversion to the mean, also called regression to the mean, is the statistical phenomenon stating that the greater the deviation of a random variate from its mean, the greater the probability that the next measured variate will deviate less far. In other words, an extreme event is likely to be followed by a less extreme event.

It is a stretch (and invalid, generally) to extrapolate this well-defined phenomenon to a complex system. There are many complex systems that maintain or increase their complexity.
No, often people already have jobs and move to a new one. This was seen as a philanthropic act to employ only those who were without work.

>And what if the housing gets too hot? Does industry stop because of overheating during hot months?

You keep working and dump the excess heat to the air.
Well to keep it brief, we see it the following way. Use:

- ZITADEL: If you want turnkey solution built for the cloud with a great support for B2B, a strong audit trail and self-hosting, but also the option for SaaS
- Ory: If you want flexibility to customize all the stuff but are aware that it is not as turnkey as ZITADEL and Keycloak
- Keycloak: If you want turnkey with a high maturity and a lot of features but some lack in regard to B2B, cloud native and support

This more or less reflects my opinion about Ory. I like the way they built their suite because its totally flexible. But it dislike the fact that it does not feel like a turnkey solution and needs some more work than plugin in a OIDC client.

So what we think and aim for is that ZITADEL combines the best of Auth0 and Keycloak [1] while bringing some unique features to the table. For example an unlimited audit trail (built with event sourcing), great self-service capabilities for B2B and B2C cases (customers can manage their own org, user, federation, access) and the possibility to soon run "serverless" (well at least as serverless container). With our cloud service we also allow customer soon to move their data around (see data location [2]). And all of this while being totally open source.

> In my ~20-year career I have never once been in a workplace setting where creativity wasn't valued.

Mayhaps, but if true this is atypical and fortunate. Ninety-nine percent of people get shunted into subordinate labor with no creative meat, in which their job is to support the manager's career and that it all that matters--and this is also true in software, now that the Jira jockeys have taken over and turned it into ticket-shop day labor. Congrats if you've escaped the sprint work, but most people can't.

It means including a library in your codebase via manually copying the files in (but generally in their own subdirectory and without modifying them so that it is easy-ish to update to a new version of the library by simply copying in the files from the new version).

I believe the name comes from a tradition of putting such code in a directory named vendor/name-of-library or vendor/name-of-vendor/name-of-library which allowed for distinguishing between the src directory which was first-party code and the vendor directory which contained code form 3rd party vendors (often such code was proprietary and had to be bought/licensed).

Nowadays the term is used to differentiate between a manual approach and the use of a package manager.

> SEPA transfers within the EURO area are basically free.

Not international; not a payment processor on any popular platform.

> TransferWise is dirt cheap.

Not really, when you compare it to low-fee crypto networks. If you sent 1.5 GBP to USD the fee is 0.35 GBP (23% of total), which makes it a poor choice for tips and small payments. Sending 15K GBP to USD carries a 61 GBP fee, or 150K GBP to USD carries a 563 GBP fee.

Compare with a low-fee network like Tezos or zkSync. My last Tezos transfer was a fixed fee of 0.000544 XTZ or $0.001 USD. zkSync currently has an approx fee of $0.11 per transfer (a cost which will likely be reduced in the coming months with EIP 4844). These fees are fixed, regardless of whether you are sending 0.1, 1, 10K, or 100K tokens to the beneficiary.

Yandex is not sanctioned, and should not be - it has nothing to do with the war, and neither do its users. Yandex offers a decent email service for free, and you can use your own domain. I had set up one for a few non-profits who are trying to get up and running. They really have nothing to do with the war, so having an outcome where their day-to-day operations are inconvenienced is a really thoughtless turn of events. I have read articles about unwelcome Russian dogs and cats and Russian artists who are losing livelihoods for no reason.

Either Putin is a democratically elected leader, or he is a dictator. If he's a dictator why does it make sense to punish normal everyday Russians? Oligarchs and henchmen I can understand, but a cat? or a singer? Or Dostoevsky?

This kind of reaction in the west is really something else. The rest of the world just wants NATO and Russia to get along but instead there is a proxy war and the Ukranian people are suffering most of all. It was obvious to expect this sort of thing from Putin, which is why it's even more surprising that there has been such an obsession with poking the bear. What did western leaders think will happen? And was it really worth so many millions of Ukranians having their lives ruined? And for what? NATO membership? They just wanted to go about their lives. The absolute neocon brazenness of the USA where folks like John McCain was addressing crowds of protesters in Maidan saying that the USA supports their political cause, and then a civil war broke out that has now lasted 8-10 years and now most of those same people are likely homeless. The foreign policy of the west is just dumbfounding, truly. So many parts of the world and so many people have had their lives ruined because of it.
That's a great way to make a program work only on specific distros.
This how my team functions. It's such a refreshing work experience. Estimating work is hard, we shouldn't be punished or feel bad when we're off a bit.
At first I would agree.
Then I agreed with most comments saying that life is much more than work.
But in the end it's probably more complicated than one or the other.

In school we are taught that everything we will do is for work. In most education system (except few countries) we are never given the opportunity to discover stuff just for the sake of it, or express our passions freely.

Everything we do is graded and our performance is judged in every topics we learn. Creativity is only rewarded at the beginning of our life (<7 years old) then it's about learning skills to have a job.

You can have side projects, side activities, but they are barely looked upon; unless it can become a job (professional: sport, music, etc...).

I'm not really sure this is comparable to Strava. First this only covers mountain biking, I use Strava also for runs, swims, skiing, and it can do a lot more.
Secondly I don't actually use Strava to record or view data, I use Garmin for that and just post to Strava. My only utility in Strava is the social newsfeed (to see what others are doing and be social) and also the PRs a little bit.

Now given that, I think your app looks quite cool, I just wouldn't compare it to Strava. I would highly recommend instead of positioning yourself as a competitor to Strava, is to allow users to record on your app and post to Strava. I use Garmin to record my data and then post to Strava because Garmin gives me a lot more detail than Strava, but I can still compare myself to millions of users on Strava that don't use Garmin.

>The idea that we should all live this way to conserve space—a resource which is only scarce in these urban places—seems excessive to put it mildly.

We're not only conserving space, we're conserving distance. Consider a uniformly populated city with a circular boundary (spherical cow). For a density of X, the mean distance from anyone's residence to nature is L. If that density becomes 2X, that distance is now 0.7L. A denser city directly puts its residents closer to nature — real nature, although we can't move the mountains!

Your argument is a complaint about the size of cities, which is mostly orthogonal to density (Honolulu is much denser than Atlanta!).
> Let me rephrase that: why should we subsidize it more than we subsidize the equivalent infrastructure in urban areas?

I don’t think we should in the general case, but I also don’t think we should abruptly pull funding from one area (letting the infrastructure fall apart) just because it becomes abruptly fashionable to move out of that area in the near term (we’re talking about decades long time scales here). Seems like you should want some easing so you don’t have to rebuild from scratch if/when dynamics change.

But ultimately if you want less spending on rural infrastructure, that’s probably fine with me, but then don’t also complain when rural life is a luxury for the wealthy.
But that's not really circular, is it?
