Aren't these hacks the act of adapting our tools to us (at least in an experimental sense)?

Actually, I'm not clear on the context of your complaint. If it's about Word and LibreOffice not playing well with text-based diff typically used by version control systems, then maybe the problem is with the file formats used by Word and LibreOffice.

I don't write many large documents, but I'll use MS Office at work for such things. They don't seem to care about version control for presentations and documentation.

For personal notes, I use Obsidian and Fossil SCM. For blog posts (which I'd like to get back to doing) I used Markdown, Hugo, and GitHub.
> The problem is that currently, the people in power to change things won’t really be affected by global warming - they have enough money to buy their way out of it.

No, this assumes that civilization won't collapse. Their money means nothing if industrial society breaks down due to the catastrophic consequences of climate change. States are what enforce property rights and states fall apart as soon as the food runs out.
Irrespective of anything regarding Musk, Shouldn't transparency and Truth be sought from Twitter. Full Stop.

I recall when I interviewed there in ~2008?? Don't recall, and they asked me in the interview what I thought Twitter was: I stated "Twitter is a global sentiment engine thats able to take the pulse of users around the globe on any topic"

I didn't get the job.
I don't think "encoding/json" is fully working yet.

Seems to be importable now, although tests are not passing. See supported packages here: https://tinygo.org/docs/reference/lang-support/stdlib/

Definitely still a ways to go before the full stdlib is usable.

Looks like your code still fails at runtime with the error:

panic: unimplemented: (reflect.Type).NumMethod()

Because rocket launches are politically problematic as is.

That’s why the US launches from Cape Canaveral (avoids all land), and Russia launches from Baikonur in Kazakhstan (avoids Chinese airspace).

Now imagine not only launching rockets, but nuclear rockets. ”Hello Mr Putin, yeah the rocket we’ve launched, it only contains nuclear waste, not nuclear weapons, we promise!”
Building your own token with Solana
The module system linked to file structure worked for Perl pretty well. Perl had this crazy idea that different authors should publish packages/modules with the same namespace, e.g.

IO.pm <-- author: Larry Wall
IO/File.pm <-- author: Me
IO/Socket.pm <-- author: You
IO/Socket/INET.pm <-- author: Larry Wall
IO/Socket/INET/Daemon.pm <-- author: Me

Simpler and encourages code reuse. Of course there is duplicate code in CPAN, but you really have to go out of your way to avoid an existing module that can do what you need.
It's OK to care about your work, just put limits on it to allow time for other things in your life.

Guns are loud. Better not to wake the neighbors.
“The heat death of the universe will occur in finite time, therefore all algorithms you can ever use are O(1)” isn’t a very helpful metric.
"It really shows the limitations of our current systems. Law enforcement investigated, but the shooter had no guns at that moment, so it was not an immediate threat. The mental health facility concluded it was not an immediate crisis, so he goes back to school. If it’s not a red-hot situation in that moment, nobody can do anything. It was none of these people’s jobs to make sure that he got connected with somebody in the community who could help him long term."

Disaster happen between competences - short-sighted or over-rigid (so dumb) system.

Maybe things like old fassion boy scouts groups could help ? But modern with modern training like drone building ? Out of school groups not useless psychologists to do evaluations on kids.

And certainly mass spying apps won't help :>

Mappers. Noone enjoys untangling broken mulipolygons.

And invalid geometries, by definition, are never desirable or intentional.

I guess that future data consumers (including authors of editors) also would benefit.
I need markdown and the ability to save screenshots. But there it starts to fall apart. No satisfactory solution available.

As a side note I really wish people would stop putting the result tables instead of otting the results. The mental complexity of processing the results in table format is orders of magnitude higher, while one needs to go through every line and parse the number one to understand the main point it could be seen with a single glance if it was a plot. This gets even worse on mobile which wraps the output lines, like its the case here.
And? The point is: I don’t need any sophisticated planning with an ICE car.

New technologies are supposed to be better, not worse. BEVs are clearly a huge step backwards in usability.
I'd be wary of all or nothing platitudes. Not only is it mentally unhealthy, it's also highly destructive to consider our relationship with the environment an adversarial one. Most of straightline projections are wildly off the mark. We were told we only have ten years left 20 years ago.

People are not just cattle. They are also a resource itself. Not just consumers. and remarkable good resources at being able to adapt.
Just checked the Tesla site. Only 2 cars new are available to me within 200 miles of my zip code: they're both 2022 model S and the one is $143,990 and the other is $149,490. That's way beyond my budget.

Okay. Let's look at Tesla's used inventory.

At least several cars are available, the cheapest being a 2020 Model 3 for $56,900. The last car I bought was in 2018 and it was a 2015 Honda Civic I picked up for $11,500. Now figure that I drive, at the most, 20,000 miles per year and I have a fuel efficiency of 35 MPG. That means my max fuel consumption rate is roughly 575 gallons per year. Even if gas hit ten dollars per gallon I'd still only be paying $5,750 per year in fuel. At that rate the payback for buying the cheapest Tesla available to me would be 8 years! And that's assuming gas were to jump to $10 per gallon! And that's why I haven't pulled the trigger on getting a Tesla. The value proposition simply isn't there for me.

Now, if you were someone who routinely bought cars in the $30K-$50K price range then this would be a different analysis and a different discussion.
That kinda like the Gnome developers and their search for the Aunt Tilly approved Linux desktop. Screw your existing userbase that was making use of those "legacy" features, go after the one that is perpetually right around the corner that wants none of that.

> We literally give industrial quantities of antibiotics to animals. So antibiotic preservation is not an honest reason to lock them up

We desperately need to stop doing that too, but at least it optimizes for bacteria that infects animals rather than humans.

I don't think you (and most other people) are anywhere near scared enough of returning to a world without antibiotics.

Ha, it does sound like I am.

Maybe I'm naive, it doesn't seem like there's a desire for world domination. No political aspiration, unlike Sheryl Sandberg. Not implying she is evil or anything just highlighting another highly successful person.
I've had real "range anxiety" even in ICE cars in Oregon. It's not hard to be 100 miles from a gas station on some of the backwoods logging roads. Combine that with occasional road blockages (trees, rocks), and it can get dicey.
I mean the discussion of the reasons and motivations for the development of many classical techniques actually does lend credence to the argument that they are misleading (by design).

That said, I find the technical arguments against NHST to be just as necessary (and I also find them just as convincing).

I'm curious what your actual objections are to this?
Seems like a good idea. Less kids running into the road and questionable street markings on the open seas
Can someone please explain to me why a jailbreak is needed for running a VM?

I’m just why it wouldn’t be possible to run a virtualized OS as a native app, and translate all OS calls into calls that the native app could make to the underlying iOS.

I’m wondering what the restrictions are?
VR required like 90fps at something >1080p, right?

Office work is fine with 30fps (can realistically drop lower). Also I suspect office workloads should be compressed more easily (think of a next editor -- lots of white-space, only a couple characters changing from frame to frame).

And peer-to-peer rather than through the router would probably be the way to go. Since 5GHz drops off pretty quickly, it might be possible to exploit this if people aren't packed in too tightly. Which gives a nice, hard technological backing to requests not to be crammed in too tightly.
The earliest signs of life at >3.5B years old [1] while photosynthesis dates to ~3.4B years ago. That seems to be pretty quick (by some definition, ~100 million years with huge error bars is "quick").

If photosynthesis only evolved once, another explanation is that it only needed to once because it was so wildly successful.

Multicellular is interesting. That obviously took much longer but once it did? Holy crap did things take off. I kinda wish I could have a time machine just to visit the Cambrian Explosion era.

That's a strained interpretation for sure.

> Our tools should adapt to us, not the other way around!

Agreed! I actually provided some concrete critique of Google docs in OP. Do my criticisms also apply to Microsoft Word and LibreOffice?

More broadly, I'd like to persuade you that your software choices have unanticipated secondary consequences for you. The software world today is not a tame, urban place where you can afford to select tools based just on the features they offer. It's a jungle out there. You need to take into account the entities providing the tools, their goals and incentives. It's not a choice between hacks and no hacks, there's hacks everywhere. And hacks aren't even the most important lens to view your situation through. What matters is the intention behind the hacks. Are they working for you?

The key design constraint for me lately is to depend as much as possible on software that is easy to build. Open source is necessary but not sufficient.

Back in 1973 Ivan Illich had some useful things to say about the relationship between a society and its tools: http://akkartik.name/illich.pdf
That’s exactly the point. We already have solved that problem with technology and there is a reason why battery-powered cars never took off and never will despite already being around for more than a hundred years.

Not sure if this meets your goals or not, but have you looked at Pyinstaller[0]? This was designed to help with the problem of distributing python code with external dependencies included. (my assumption from your comment is that you're targeting "nothing installed" as a way of preventing end users from having to install packages on their external machine).

Where you went wrong with your "analysis" was assuming I'm in the EV crowd. I do believe in using the right tools for the right job.

>Does perl have a built in HTTP client

HTTP::Tiny ships with Perl, including 5.16. I'm not sure if MacOS Perl comes with a working IO::Socket::SSL you would need for https.

Edit: See if this works or not:

Even if a civilization out there had faster-than-light travel, they would most likely not know we were here. They would need to decide to come explore near us, probably need to expensively slow down to sub-light speeds to look for signs of life near here and pick up our emissions on some old archaic piece of equipment they happened to bring along.

Would a much more advanced civilization spend their exploration budget to look over uninteresting primitives like us, or would they go off in search of other more advanced civilizations like their own?
It helps to classify things as coopetition - it is a matter of coordinating the group effectively. sometimes each person goes off and tries different strategies alone, and sometimes people share info and coordinate activities. The determinative factor is the problem to be solved. Some problems are bigger or big but well understood and you can cooperate pretty easily. Some are less well understood and you need to send people off to be mad geniuses in their labs.

Human default is pretty biased towards cooperation, what with our speech and long childhoods and social organization, but of course, as the great success of science these past few hundred years shows, sometimes you need the loners pushing towards a hard to find insight.

Of course, if you don’t care about solving problems or making things more pleasant and interesting and just want to optimize the number of dollars in your banks database, then maybe you wouldn’t care about the most efficient way to solve problems. In which case, good luck, but there are reports from people that have pursued that path that it doesn’t hold a candle to contributing to a Great Common Task.
Articles like this grind my gears when they mention an ancronym in the title and I have to read through 4 paragraphs before finding out what MLM means.
I first acknowledged burnout at the end of 2020. It took 6-12 months of struggling before a baseline could be established and to this day I don't feel "recovered" but I am improving. From reading a lot about burnout I realized people are different and what works for one person may not work for all. Looking back my burnout was caused by constant context switching and a self imposed requirement to always be available. In the moment I thought it was about the work I was doing and how I felt like it wasn't improving the world.

To ease the struggling stage my biggest win was acknowledging what is the minimum actions needed to take to keep coasting, Once I accomplish those things I didn't beat my self up. Examples of this would be acknowledge 6 hours of meetings in a day is a full day, and I don't need to do 6 hours of dev work on top.

To start the healing process I quit my fulltime job and took 3 months off. After that I started contracting instead, billing hourly, and working less then 40 works for my budget and the strong disconnect between working and not working is helpful to me.

I would ask your self the question, do you need to `fix "everything"`. Sounds like a lot of pressure to put on yourself, maybe you need that pressure, maybe you don't.

okay, you seem to know at least as much as I read, so let me ask you this question:

"material adverse effects which is a very high standard that Twitter definitely has not broached"

I guess my question is how do we know -- from the outside -- that they definitely have not broached it? Elon seems to think the bots issue (roughly, that they miscalculate it) does broach the standard. Everyone I have read thinks seems not to think so and shares your view. But for a naive person on the outside, couldn't it be plausibly argued that this bot thing is a material breach?

I am in the awkward position of not knowing either party. I take each at their word, and the dispute seems pretty "sensible" to me.
No, it’s not. On the contrary, it proves that BEVs cannot replaces cars with combustion engines.
Yeah, I just don't understand how franchises are able to get away with their shitty tactics, at least in the EU.

They do not provide any net value to the society, all they do is shift the risk onto the franchisee with a pretty much unilateral contract. You have to engage in whatever shit they come up with, like buying expensive equipment. (McDonald's pizza anyone?)

The only instances where a franchise makes sense is when a franchisee could realistically walk away from the contract and stay in the business somehow.
You said in a sister comment that your doctor wouldn't prescribe antibiotics until a culture came back. Isn't that precisely the opposite of giving them out freely in the same situations you would?

Yes, in your case the culture came back positive. But, you're not psychic, you didn't really know that, and you're biased by the fact it's your own child.
Me too. Short journeys = bicycle or public transport, long journeys = rare treat. Shame if you live in a country designed around car transportation.
I used an old Kyocera Rise [0] for document editing a few times and it worked fine, and that was a budget phone ten years ago.

Having an actual keyboard and a dedicated task switcher button made that phone better for work than the modern flagship Android I use now.

I don't know much about iphones, but I've definitely seen people do real work on ipads, so I think the same argument applies.

I looked into this recently when I moved houses and was without cable for a few weeks. I thought about purchasing an ATSC 3 box to try it out instead of just using an antenna with my TVs internal ATSC 1 decoder.

I will never adopt ATSC 3 because they have built targeted advertising and viewer tracking into the spec. See for example https://rampedup.us/atsc-3-0-marketing-opportunity/. It’s really too bad but to me this is the final nail in the coffin for ota programming in my opinion.

> EDIT- it does sort of seem like treating nuclear waste the same as other industrial waste and sending it off to approved Class III landfills should be acceptable. So then, kicking the can down the road leads to the public being forced to accept nuclear waste at a Class III landfill.

I think you mean a class I landfill/disposal wells, unless there's another scale I don't know.

Something like a Yucca Mountain isn't perfect, but it's better than that.

The nice thing about nuclear waste is the hazard disappears over time.

The worst of it is spent fuel. Spent fuel does needs cooling for 40+ years. Then after 300-400 years, the vast majority of the hazard is gone. Yes, it does take tens of thousands of years to completely vanish to baseline.

Compare to various kinds of nasty toxic-to-life things that more readily dissolve in groundwater and are equivalently nasty for tens of thousands of years.
The big question is what happens next. Call me biased, but after seeing how my fellow Russian colleagues are transpiring the official propaganda, I think it may end up just like when they kill a dictator in the Middle East (i.e. suffering for everybody), not like in, say, Romania where basically the whole country was against Ceaușescu.

I made a few pikchr diagrams and liked the experience, though it would be good if there was a lossless WSYWIG editor that could create and edit them for quick and dirty creation.

There was a Changelog podcast episode with Richard Hipp (sqlite author) where he threw out the great idea that it would be nice if there were renderers in popular markdown engines that could display inline pikchr blocks.

How does it not make sense? He wants to get rid of bots AND he wants to pay a fair price for Twitter.

It seems like people are working really hard not to understand this situation.
Sounds like a low-rent TED Talk.
Sure, but this article is comparing two data structures which have the same big O complexity for the operation, O(N), and the comparison is about the relative performance of the two.

My point is that worrying about this for a code path that only happens once at startup is silly, but in the main loop of a critical performance code path, then sure, go ahead. The mistake would be to use vectors all over the place instead of lists 'because linked lists are slow' when they have other benefits (e.g. cost of insertion, address of elements don't change etc) which may adversely affect the readability of the surrounding code if you by default use vectors.

Anyhow, just my opinion of course.
Aside from MPG, the benefit is just massive time savings. As well as safety.
Last I checked, planes are faster than cars, and time is also worth something (maybe not FUD-writers time, but generally speaking).

A practical example that counts instructions is EVM. Gas usage is counted deterministically to limit computation overhead, and smart contracts are designed to optimize away every unit of gas since they cost real money.
Agreed. I liked it better when everyone didn't know everyone's opinion. Many people can't handle it.
Enrichment doesn't make them into very very hot rods. U-235 is boring and can be safely handled by hand. Use of them in a reactor is what makes them very very hot.
In this case we're talking about a program that directly feeds children who are, I hope we agree, the victims of and in no way responsible for any negligence due to "poor people [who] can't be bothered to prepare food."

"And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me." - Jesus, in John 16:3.

I mean, I'm quoting out of context[1], and there may actually be genuine Christians who have gotten sucked into that (I don't want to presume that there can't be), but this whole thing is pretty obviously off the rails of actual Christ-based Christianity. The cross is the point of Christianity, not the AR-15.

[1] The context is people who think they are following God who seek to kill those who follow Jesus. "AR-15 as religious artifact" isn't quite the same, though it seems to be at least flirting with the same general direction.
