How do you "use" a stock? You give a company money in the hope they are able to turn it into more money over a certain period of time than you would holding it in a bank account.

If the company pays a dividend it gets sent to you (or to whoever holds the stock on your behalf), but that doesn't seem like "using" the stock. I suppose you could "use" it by voting at the AGM.

Crypto you can make use of (such as it is), but no one does that. They hold it like a stock, same as the OP who doesn't know how to create a wallet.
We have attempted fully equal societies though - many times. It always seems to end in mass poverty and violence against the population it claims to exist to protect.

How many times do we have to try it before deciding it doesn't work? If you have a good idea, feel free to describe it, and explain how it would not suffer the same failures all past attempts have. I can't see how it would work, and if you're convinced it can, show your working.

I don't defend the status quo either. I said SOME level of inequality. I personally think that inequality has gotten out of hand in the last few decades - the gap between the rich and poor has become absurd. Scandinavian nations and others have shown that a nation with less income inequality than UK/US is possible and may be desirable - though there are definite limits to how comparable Scandi countries are to countries like UK/US.

Broadly equal societies may be possible at extremely small scales when in a state of abundance. Once you go past the limit where everyone knows and trusts each other, things seem to rapidly fall apart without hierarchy and inequality.

Here's the email chain between RMS and Bruno Haible, author of CLISP:

https://sourceforge.net/p/clisp/clisp/ci/tip/tree/doc/Why-CLISP-is-under-GPL

Apparently the situation was that CLISP was distributed as `lisp.a` and `libreadline.a` (with source for Readline included) and the end-user linked them together. Haible offered to write a `libnoreadline.a` library, exporting Readline's function but not providing their functionality, but RMS insisted that the result would still be a derived work of Readline.

Luckily a single election isn't enough to make a dictatorship, in the US.

This spoke to me a lot as someone entering their senior year at a liberal arts school's CS program, especially the lack of CS "fundamentals" stuff. I trust my ability to self-teach and make a decent career out of software, but when the web dev class is pushing JQuery in 2021 it's not weird to be a bit nervous. I'm genuinely nervous for some of our less go-getter graduates. Anyone else from similar backgrounds have schooling and career stories?
> Some countries, such as Israel, have purely party based parliamentary systems with no geographic representation ... Some nations have fine-grained representation of ideas but course-grained representation of land

Before putting this on a pedestal, it's worth noting that Israel:

1. Has smaller some power blocs which have non-proportional power at the parliament due to being the "swing vote".
2. Had other smaller political parties completely eliminated (voter desertion) due to ineffectiveness.
3. Had 4 elections in 2 years due to inability to form a ruling government with more than 50% of the parliament approval.
4. Had a government average run-time of 2.5 years since 1999 due to "no confidence" votes that force re-election.

Less than ideal. The American system, with its flaws, significantly more stable.
“Gerrymandering” is baked right into the constitution.

It’s a good thing. You want the representatives drawing the districts because they are closest to their constituents. You also don’t want random district allocation, you want the representatives to match with your constituents in a 90/10 split, not a 50/50 split where nothing gets done.

The barrels of ink used to slander redistricting is being supplied by very powerful money interests. They do this because it’s one of the last impediments to the NWO globalist government that is incrementally being setup.

The removal of representative redistricting, along with the installation of the horribly complex rank choice voting system the media elites are pushing everywhere effectively ends the American democratic experiment.

Ok, but the article doesn't even talk about naturalization? It's talking about permanent residency.
It's more nuanced. If you've included GPL code and modified or redistributed it, then you either have to comply with the GPL to have permission for that use, or you've potentially committed a copyright violation.

To comply with the GPL you only need to publish the one specific snapshot of source code you've combined and redistributed with GPL code, but you don't need to permanently relicense your project if it doesn't contain any code you don't have rights to use. The "tainted" version will be granted as GPLed forever, but other earlier or later versions that don't use any GPL code don't have to.

Or you can go the copyright way, and claim it wasn't a copyright violation (because it was a fair use, or non-copyrightable code) or settle the matter in whatever way the law lets you get away with.
My memory of that wasn’t that dentists stopped recommending flossing, it was just an acknowledgment that there hadn’t been any research that showed a positive effect. And not that the research had failed, there just hadn’t been any at all. I think most dentists continued to recommend flossing.

One of the things that I came across when I was looking for an RPi camera replacement was Samsung's "ISOCELL Plug and Play" - A turn-key solution with prepackaged lens, EIS, image pretuning, and VCX* objective camera evaluation. The image looked good enough compared to cutting edge at the time, and I imagined it would be perfect for small startups and companies who wanted a quick time to market.

https://semiconductor.samsung.com/image-sensor/isocell-plug-...
EIS video: https://images.samsung.com/is/content/samsung/p5/semiconduct...

Unfortunately I never got one and it now looks to be unavailable. I don't know if Samsung would have had interest in Open Source efforts to support the modules.

The incentive structures around technical books are pretty weird.

Most major publishers pay quite small royalty rates, so even a popular tech book won't actually make the author much money. And the effort to write a good technical book is pretty huge. Also, the set of people who will actually finish writing a book is quite a bit smaller than the set of people who aspire to. (An editor at O'Reilly told me once that only about 1/3 of the authors they sign deals with actually end up finishing the book.)

So for a book to appear, you need to find someone who:

1. Knows this particular topic in depth.

2. Is interested in spending a lot of time writing a book about it.

3. For relatively little money in return.

4. And actually has the discipline to finish it.

Not a lot of people in that set. It's also particularly hard for technologies that are in flux since the quicker the book gets out of date, the less value there is in writing it.
CentOS 8 was supposed to be supported into 2029. Approximately a year or so after being released that was changed and would only be supported into 2021.

Many people in the CentOS community, even RHEL employees, tried to play it off like they never meant to support it so long, but some time after the announcement they confirmed they did indeed strip away 8 years of the planned support.

This burned a lot of people that had already started deploying systems using CentOS 8 into Production. A lot of time and money has been spent by many people, organizations, and companies rectifying this situation.
For the most part, it's just specific support for specific workstation applications that AMD can't release publicly due to some contractual reasons or that those specific changes would be a detriment to a general selection applications. There are a few OpenGL features in there not in the open driver. There's also the DirectGMA thing for having hardware DMA directly to and from the GPU without CPU involvement.

The latter I wish was just a general purpose feature now that things like resizable bar are seeing general support in the consumer space.

One of the biggest problems we run into is not that there are no options, but there are so many possibilities that people who study the problem in detail end up arguing with each other rather than forming a coalition for a single reform! I also designed a system based on a simplified CPO-STV, but I keep putting off writing it up.

Such a game would probably fail to achieve commercial success in today's world. It would be criticized for lack of depth.

I’ve encountered a Flutter web app exactly once, https://app.travellerdeclaration.govt.nz/. It was very painful. (Part of the pain was related to them using a selectable-button style for radio buttons, which isn’t entirely Flutter’s fault, though I bet it contributed to that misguided decision; but when there’s no scrollbar and the Yes/No button you clicked is at the very bottom of the visible page—well, that was the position.) When I filled it out last year, they had an alternative, vastly better accessible version that I think didn’t even require JavaScript, though good luck finding it, since it was accessed by an invisible button that Flutter event handling made unfocusable. Now that button sets a flag in sessionStorage and reloads, and on startup checks for the flag and sets flutterWebRenderer = "html", so that at least the content is in the accessibility tree, even if they still badly reimplement half the stuff the browser provides manually (links, focus, scrolling, they even damage bits of IME).

From https://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html:

The folks at Lucid were starting to get a little worried because I would bring them review drafts of papers arguing for worse is better, and later I would bring them rebuttals against myself. One fellow was seriously nervous that I might have a mental disease.

after over a decade of thinking and speaking about it . . . [I wrote] "Back to the Future: Is Worse (Still) Better?" In this short paper, I came out against worse is better. But a month or so later, I wrote a second one, called "Back to the Future: Worse (Still) is Better!" which was in favor of it.

This is the heart of engineering or politics: finding the optimal compromise.
But this was already possible, hitching your “I have control over my own device” wagon to “My device allows me to x, y, or z” that are only possible due to history, backwards compatibility, or because not enough people actually do it to be a problem is a battle already lost.

Winning the war requires legislation that demands devices and software be introspectable by all users, not just ones that can set up cheeky mitm proxies.

I'm glad you said this. One of the more infamous gerrymanders in the US is in Chicago --- the notorious "earmuffs". You can just look at it and see that something's hinky.

But what's really happening there is that there are in fact very well-defined Latino neighborhoods in Chicago, and the earmuffs capture a bunch of them neatly: Pilsen, Little Village, Cicero, Belmont-Cragin. If you know Chicago, you know these places, and you also know what the boundary between, say, Belmont-Cragin and North Austin is like; however artificial it looks on a map, it is a real border. That these communities are where they are is also not purely happenstance: a lot of very unfortunate social engineering took place in the early-mid-20th century to put those neighborhoods (and all the other neighborhoods) where they are now.

That's not to defend gerrymandering writ large, or even necessarily the earmuffs, but just to second your point about the complexity of the problem.

> It makes local chunks of code (e.g. for loops) a bit harder to read but gives the reader a better sense of the wider context (e.g. a function or set of related functions). This, I believe, is a good trade-off because, in programming, the wider the context one is considering, the harder it is to gain a good understanding of that context. My style made understanding local context easier but made it noticeably harder to understand wider contexts.

I wish I could remember in which thread I found a similar comment here within the last week or so.

Painfully-heavily paraphrased, they said that a narrative/shorter function style of programming makes it easier to understand the intent of the logic/individual functions but harder to follow the overall flow, because you tend to have to jump frequently between functions in different parts of the file.

"Big Brother" was a pretty big part of 1984, and I definitely have gotten "Big Brother" vibes from the EU these last few years, under the pretense of "we know better than you and we want to protect you".

Casinos are regulated.

Casinos don't dominate the economy.

Casinos haven't wasted the bulk of a generation's top talent to enrich a small number of pederasts in a tiny geographic area.

My view of "morals" laws is that harm reduction should be the policy. Do I like gambling or drug abuse? Of course not. Do I think they should be illegal? Probably not, because empirical evidence shows that harm is better reduced by making these things legal and then regulating them.

Of course, if I found that casinos were having huge negative externalities, then my opinion would change.

you did not understand my point, canvaskit is skia but slower, over wasm. It output to an HTML canvas and HTML canvas are immediate mode, they do not have retained mode rendering (display lists, occlusion, caching, etc).
Besides I don't think canvaskit is faster than regular HTML canvas. Even if canvaskit might avoid some compute that would normally be done at the HTML canvas level, canvaskit could implement retained mode rendering but 1) it does not 2) it would not really be appropriate because of the unstructured API (unlike DOM), 3) the final HTML canvas would still behave immediately.
As I said, it's important to realize that you are rendering skia (html canvas) on skia (canvaskit wasm) the amount of overhead and rendering duplication is in theory crazy.

Well, with a human coming up with a PDE model (i.e. a system of equations) based on their intuition about what the causes of a given phenomenon are, they would be limited by their intuition/imagination about which variables are significant for the model. For all practical purposes, the variables that a modeler imagines to be significant are a subset of all the possible observable variables. A machine learning approach would learn the significant variable directly from the data, and is therefore not limited to imagination. There's an example of this mentioned in the article, in the context of ocean models:

“The algorithm picked up on additional terms,” Zanna said, producing a “beautiful” equation that “really represents some of the key properties of ocean currents, which are stretching, shearing and [rotating].”
My internal narrative is that newer generations are working to keep their emotional well being alive - to access human empathy and build up the idea of emotional boundaries in response to a world which pretends they shouldn’t exist - especially with older generations who were encouraged to shut it off and not talk about anything, or to feel free to express just about any emotion at any time regardless of whether it’s abusive or gaslighting. Not to mention that reprocessing trauma is much, much more effective than giving someone a pill who presents with depression.

To me while it’s still very messy, it’s so much simpler and more free to live among people who are respectful of emotional boundaries - you begin to trust people to say something if there’s a problem, and so you have freedom to explore and experiment and take risks. The opposite where you’re free to do whatever by disregarding everyone else is functionally railroading people, dehumanizing them in the name of the power of the individual.
