Wow, didn't realize that there were major water ditchings prior to the recent Sully Hudson story. Remarkable that they were able to capture the moment of ditching too (in the 50s no less).

Also interesting is the fact that the coast guard intentionally stationed a ship at the "point of no return" specifically to help give planes information during this time period. I wonder what replaced that system and what is used today - presumably satellites?
Interesting! Yes, I rarely open new windows, I'm more of a "keep a thousand tabs open" kinda guy. I can see where that would be a real drag for your workflow.
> Animal feed is usually not suitable for human consumption, so while technically there would be an abundance of food, it would not be edible by humans.

> For corn for example, 7% of the harvest is suited for human consumption. The efficiency coefficient is pretty terrible if we throw away the remaining 93%.

We don't need to produce those 93% of corn at all. We can reforest fields/pastures used for meat production and store a busload of CO2 in the process - https://climatehealers.org/the-science/animal-agriculture-po...

> Farm areas that can grow human edible food tend to not be used for animal feed.

I don't know ... 75% of fields are used for animal agriculture, so one can easily get to that conclusion, but in my experience, those areas are intermixed (is it a word?). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_meat_p...

> The efficiency coefficient of food turned into compost is not that great with a lot of it turning into methane, get eaten by bacteria, and runoff into the oceans and water supplies.

How much methane does composting produce depends on composting method, aerobic composting is significantly better in this regard and in the end, composting is better than putting the food/organic materials into landfills.

Feeding the soil bacteria and enhancing the soil profile (with compost) is a good thing. We need more of those little critters.

Not so sure about the runoff - I think that argument applies to pesticides/herbicides, where it's a big problem. Compost is an organic matter, a soil in the end - but soil erosion is a problem, so I tend to agree :)

Go to a Costco business center and buy a bag of rice, a bag of beans, and some bottled water. Buy some camping gear and cook dinner once in a while over a fire in your back yard or a camp ground. Keep a go bag packed that you could pick up and live out of for a week at a moments notice. Take interest in the things around you and learn how to do things yourself instead of paying other people to do them, even if you don’t do them yourself most of the time.
e.g. Building a hut, with cross-bracing so the square-lashed frame doesn't collapse in a light breeze.

Or hanging the ridgeline of a shed roof from a post so it doesn't push the walls out of line.

Or building a truss for a bridge over a creek, instead of a huge arch of stone.

Lots of places statics comes in handy. And we take it for granted, that we know this stuff!
"Normal" vesting tends to be over four years with a one year cliff (and then quarterly or monthly afterwards). Then you’ve got Amazon where the vesting is weighted towards the end of the period (I don't know the breakdown but for example instead of 25/25/25/25 you might see 10/15/25/50). Accelerated vesting is simply that for key, pre-agreed upon, points or changes in the business your vesting schedule is accelerated. e.g. instead of 10% vesting over four years, perhaps you get them to agree to 25% first year, then 50% once the Series A closes. Point being to lock in some upside for you once you AND they lose control over the company (potentially) by bringing in outside investors.

I have never worked for a successful startup to exit, either quitting or being reorganized out of a role before an exit. So take my advice with that huge caveat.

A large part of what makes libsodium simple is that it does very little.

Some of doing little is great. It does not let you erratically mess with your encryption options, it does not let you apply a bad algorithm, and it does not let you use one algorithm for a task it's badly suited for (well, up to a point).

But some of it is just things the library doesn't do. You can't run a PKI with it, you can't deal with industry-standard file types, and your options for interoperability are just none.

It's really good to make those nice focused libraries that people can actually use. But that doesn't remove the need for kitchen-sink packages that will solve every problem under the Sun.

There’s not any type of mapping and this is what makes biology so difficult to study and understand. One gene can affect anywhere from zero other genes to every single gene. We also need to account for effects at every level of the central dogma of biology. Knockout of a gene can affect genetics, RNA, protein, and much more we don’t even know about yet. The other underestimated complicating factor is that biology is very nonlinear. A 10% increase in gene expression could lead to no resulting effect, whereas an 11% increase in expression could upregulate downstream genes by 1000x.

Agreed. That's why I prefer to have things written down. In this case, WHATWG and W3C already did the work for us.

I've seen what you're talking about, but I'm not the one getting overbooked. I'm not generally the one fighting over this stuff. If I get feedback on a PR telling me to add li close tags, I'll probably just do it.

If you're using a technology on a daily basis, it will pay big dividends to spend a little time learning how it actually works.

Fossil creator here: Fossil was created for one purpose - to support the development of SQLite, a job at which it has been successful beyond all expectation. Any other use of Fossil (and there is a lot of that, though still a lot less than there is for Git) is just gravy.

Fossil was designed to support the SQLite workflow. Git was designed to support the Linux Kernel workflow. Both systems seem amazingly well-suited for the projects for which they were designed.

Should you use Fossil or Git on your project? I suppose that depends a lot on whether your project workflow more closely matches the Linux Kernel or SQLite. There are other considerations, but I think that is the main differentiator of the two systems.

Side note: I've had a lot of help writing Fossil over the past 15 years, and especially a lot of help on the documentation. The article being discussed by this thread originated with me, but has been extensively edited by others with different ideas about the advantages and disadvantages of Fossil vs. Git. See https://fossil-scm.org/home/finfo/www/fossil-v-git.wiki?ubg for a complete timeline of changes to that one file, color-coded by committer. (BTW: Can Git or GitHub generate such a timeline?) My color is brown. If you scroll through the history, you can see that most of the edits to the article are by others. Which is fine. Just don't attribute everything you read there to me.
It's not obvious to work out what exactly the plan is, as the press release has a fairly thick coat of corporate speak on it.

However I assume they'll want to take a chunk out of the Raspberry Pi market -- whose hardware always was shit, but whose execution has lately been terrible as well, what with the years-long scarcity of boards.

The Pi's secret to its success is arguably its community support, and I think only Arduino can match that.
The new data safety section lists things that look like permissions as well. Should permissions be clearly listed in the new data safety section? I think it would be more helpful that way.
> You don't need industrial machinery to produce penicillin.

Sooo. How are you going to grow enough of that, while /not growing/ any other type of fungus, mold, bacteria, etc...

There's a reason modern medicine utilizes things like cleanrooms and laboratories, instead of y'know a farm and a barn.
Years ago, I made a FireFox addon for myself to do exactly this but everywhere on the internet. You specify a regular express to match attribute values and/or text, and the CSS to apply to the elements containing the matches. You can specify any CSS you want but if it's something like visibility: hidden or display: none it has this effect (and is the only thing I've actually used it for). It even worked on FireFox for Android when that supported proper addons.

It's really nice to never see a link to Facebook, Twitter, etc anywhere on the internet. It's almost like they don't exist. It causes a few oddities here and there (The text matching is problematic but it's optional, the attribute value matching works really well), but I've never missed anything important. I feel like if everyone had this power everywhere, it would serve as incentive for sites to not suck.

It took some fun javascript APIs I've never had to use before (like MutationObserver and TreeWalker) to get it to work right and efficiently, especially on sites that load content via JS (like Google).

Good point. Even more, there is no way to make coal geologically ever again. All coal comes from fossilized trees that came about before fungi. They just grew until they fell over and stacked up then got buried and fossilized. Now they just rot.

Which means starting from scratch would require a different fuel like oil, but that’s even harder to extract these days, let alone in a post-apocalyptic environment.
It's counterintuitive to cyclists because we don't countersteer. We lean instead, generally subconsciously. If we didn't lean, it's true that we'd have to countersteer... but nobody rides that way, making it a flawed analogy at best.

I still use an rss reader, mostly for journals. As The Platforms took over, many notification services like city council, weather, road conditions, even school bus cancelations feed into these, and over time my opml file got smaller and smaller.

Having rss in emacs gnus works for me, but for wide use, it needs to be browser based, one click, you don't even need to know it is rss (but maybe a toggle for full text vs blurb) which is what I get with Flym on android. Flym can also detect if a page has the link metadata, but you have to copy paste the url into it.

RSS can be relayed into mastodon, but this requires a hosting an app, so it might as well just be an app.

For the new bloggers, it's like including semantic web structured data, it is something a writer should never need to know, at most an option button in their composing software, clicked, done!
I did buy MacBook M1.

Installed Asahi Linux, it made possible to keep OS running all the time, keep HexChat IRC running, and not shutdown when away from keyboard like on macOS.

But that M1 did only last 4 days. Then it did not boot anymore. So I returned it to warranty repair, and canceled buying it.

Centralization is just a tool (if methods of organization are tools).

Sometimes, it's clearly the right choice (where are program settings settings? `~/.config`).

It's also VERY simple. If all you want is client/server version control, and you don't mind the constraints, SVN's UX and learning curve beats git's by a long shot.

Decentralization buys you flexibility, but entails tons of complexity.

> We should stick to standard Arduino code that should run on all compatible Arduino devices.

Why should the entire hobbyist hardware space be an Arduino monoculture?

IMO the Arduino proto-language and framework are quite mediocre and it's time to move on. For beginners, embedded hardware has gotten much more powerful and more familiar languages can be employed. For more advanced users and larger projects, using a real RTOS with a real task system unlocks development velocity in a huge way.

I don't really love CircuitPython, but I don't see how this is comparable to the Wiring/Arduino situation, nor do I really see it as a step backwards.

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro and use GarageBand and track guitar - all while running Vivaldi. Mind you I'm not doing anything crazy - my projects only ever have a few tracks and I prefer to record via an amp and microphone, but even when I use the amp and pedal sims my "virtual pedal board" has never had more than six pedals on it and I'm not using many plug-ins. If I did start having problems Vivaldi would be the first thing I'd shut down!

Sorry, I should have clarified: grindr is the only gay-centric dating app I've used. Tinder, bumble, and hinge (which I consider the "big 3" of dating apps) all do not have these attributes. Which I think just strengthens my point, with which you agree.

Sounds like, if you want a capable materials, mechanical, chemical and electrical engineer to write your pull requests, you'd need to pay them a salary they request. (Them in plural, because it is unlikely to find a single individual good at everything.)

Software people like to say that software engineers is super complex and difficult. On the other hand, an enthusiast occasionally makes great FOSS contribution by filing a pull request. For some reason, that is?[1] quite rare in many other forms of engineering. If it is only because of capital cost differences of building things in physical world vs building in software world (which affects stuff like learning by experimentation), maybe we should acknowledge they are a part of reason why building things in physical world is complex and difficult.

Note that should you be rescued the suit case full of millions will still worth millions.

The suitcase, stuffed with medium of exchange, holds value across time.

This is the key concept to understand the issue at hand.

For a medium of exchange to become useful, it must first become able to hold value, preferably long term, months/years.

The only way an asset can do that, if there is demand to hold the asset for long durations, committed long term investors.

Bitcoin is an experiment in bootstrapping a neutral money system from scratch.

If you look at bitcoins money velocity, it’s much closer to M2, than M1. Thus comparing it to investment assets, or bonds, is much more relevant today than to payment systems. It’s a store of value for now, maybe a little speculative, sure.

Once it grows large enough and value becomes more stable, it can become a decent medium of exchange then.

This implies market capitalisation in many trillions, and if it proves to be successful: displacement of many other store of value. Negative yield bonds, gold. Maybe even real estate and rental yields on that are actually negative in real terms in many markets. We will see.

As such it would represents a cloud economy of sorts with large amounts of wealth stored in it, trillions of dollars. That would require a correspondingly sizeable security budget to protect.

> All genes have a function.

For the benefit of readers unfamiliar with the field: this is wrong.

You can show this experimentally. Construct a gene that produces a non-human protein and introduce this to a human cell/genome. That gene would not have a “function” but still exists in the genome. This is actually happening all the time. Some viruses integrate their genomes when infecting cells. Viral integration is one of the factors that shapes genome evolution.
You are bringing up a beautiful question.

Were Luddites pro-elite, or anti-elite? Factory technology was definitely something both hated, and intentionally propagated.

Violent conflicts were fought by different stacking frame manufacturers for making them cheaper, and more efficient than one other.

Similarly Saddam attacked Kuwait on the premise of selling oil cheap, and diluting his power.

Knowledge, sophistication, and culture was an alternative to "eliteness" given by having the biggest stick around.

What Greek, and Roman elites realised naturally 2000 years ago, and what we do not now is that knowledge, and culture were power, and that power must be prevented from being monopolised.

Scholars, historians, artisans, and scribes were patronised by the state to prevent "eliteness" being monopolised by clans, and powerful families.

A good way to prevent a man with the biggest stick from seizing power is to give more sticks to other people. And similarly "cultural eliteness" was kept accessible to foreign gentry to drag them into Greek society, so they don't try to reach "elitness" by swinging the stick.
That would require designers to deeply understand system and software engineering, or systems and software engineers to understand design. Funny how that gap keeps on manifesting itself, even though both parties work on the same domain.
