Money is speech in the context of political donations and advertisements, per Citizens United, in which the Supreme Court that the First Amendment prohibited the US government from "restricting independent expenditures for political campaigns by corporations, including nonprofit corporations, labor unions, and other associations"[0].

Money is not speech in all contexts, nor does it follow that because speech is protected by the First Amendment, all monetary transactions are thus equally protected by an equivalence of money to speech. And even if it were the case, the First Amendment doesn't prohibit all limitations on speech, just limitations by the Federal government (and even then, the Supreme Court allows Federal law to govern speech in limited instances[1], such as regulating the airwaves, food labeling.)

Despite the ruling of Citizens United and its implications, which are narrower than "money is speech" implies in the naive case, laws involving money such as theft, embezzlement, and bribery remain on the books. Paying the police to not investigate crimes would obviously not be legal, if for no other reason than the most obvious: there are already laws against it.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think I need to be to call this one.

> If assuring your code is memory-safe is "engaging in politics", then literally everything is political

That's precisely OP's argument -- everything is political. Taking this a step further, surely creating the world's first atomic weapons had political impact, and who is to say that any arbitrary technological advance couldn't be used in unforseen ways in the future with similar political import? Everything we work on is potentially political. I used to be a DoD scientist, and let me say you would be shocked by the list of seemingly mundane technologies that are then picked up and used in warfare or in support of the surveillance state.

The code you write today could affect the drone strikes of five years from now, without you ever knowing. DoD regularly reverse-engineers open source projects and internally re-releases them.

Everything is political
A 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 had a wheelbase of 119" and was 210" long.

A 2021 Mustang Mach E has a wheelbase of 107" and is 188.5" long.

Which one is humongous?

Even if you looked at the original 1964 Mustang, its not that much smaller than the Mach E which is a 5-door crossover. The '64 had a wheelbase of 108" and an overall length of 181.6", just 7 inches shorter for a coupe.

Older American cars were often land yachts. The old family sedan of the 1960s are often larger than crossovers of today, they just don't sit as high.

> The problem is that I have a few private projects that I would love to try out. They all need coding.

Is that all they need? Otherwise, maybe work the non-coding parts when your motivation to code is low and, with any luck, the excitement and desire to complete the project once you are into it will provide the motivation.

Or maybe coding in your spare time just isn't for you right now, and you need to find other things that fit.

My spare time coding is pretty different from what I do at work and for very different purposes and I rarely feel like it's the same thing, any more than say writing documentation at work and writing adventures for a TTRPG at home are the same because both are writing. But there's definitely stretched where I am less interested in coding in my spare time and then I just do other things.
ControlFlow https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/ops/enum.ControlFlow.html is awesome.

Aside from its actual purpose (as part of making ? less magic, described in this trivia list) it's good to agree how to talk about control flow in the type system. If two unrelated pieces of software both care about control flow, in a lot of languages they'd both make up their own ways to signal "keep going" versus "halt". But since core::ops::ControlFlow exists in Rust it makes sense to use that, and so you spend less time writing adaptors. This is one of the main purposes of a standard library (notice this is in core not just std and so it's available even in a tiny embedded device with no allocator if you want it)
> Does it really matter which country is the headquarters for the corporate owner? It's still a German plant hiring Germans and subject to German laws. The rule of law exists in both Germany and the US.

Of course it matters. The profit goes in the direction of headquarters, tax is paid in the country of headquarters, and the government of the country of headquarters has much bigger influence to the company.
Knowing the overall profit of the business doesn’t tell you exactly where the profits are coming from or how margins differ among different product lines and markets. I think we should refrain from claiming specific knowledge of a business’s finances and making confident conclusions unless we have more granular data or are actually employed by the businesses in question.

Thank you for the kind words and feedback.

If you email jj@rootly.com we can get you some pricing ASAP. It'll be dependent on number of users and level of support/onboarding/custom feature development required.

But if you're a small team, Rootly is powerful and ready to go out of the box with defaults and you might not require some of the custom stuff.

To answer your question directly, we customize each package for each individual customer on a bunch of variables.

> ...then encourage, praise, and promote people who actually ship features.

If only it were that simple. I've been inside clients where this happened. It generally wasn't pretty. You want an avalanche of trivial features? This is how you get an avalanche of trivial features.

Meanwhile, the end user population is restless with non-trivial features sitting in backlogs for quarters and years on end...

Then some bright bulb decides to let end users vote which features get worked upon. And the largest cohort of users dominate the agenda driving away the multitude of 1-3% cohorts that happen to make up the majority of the market for the product with their Microsoft Office-like lists of not-quite-alike feature lists, but are the bread and butter of most mature codebases serving large diverse end user populations. Sales people love large diverse end user populations. They make sales so much easier.

There is no substitute for judicious leadership. The map is not the territory. You need a balance that you will always struggle to adjust; all metrics or all gut feel both lead to poor outcomes.

During the Summer of 2019 then governor of Puerto Rico, Ricky Roselló, was forced to resign after a massive leak of his Telegram chats was released. Although in this case the leak was done by an insider and not accomplished through an exploit. In any case, it wouldn't surprise me if government officials from other countries were also misusing Telegram.

> Traditionally, multigenerational households would have helped with child rearing but now it's often pretty much entirely on the shoulders of the parents

It goes much further. In 90% of human societies up to 60 years ago, it was normal for children to spend a lot of time interacting with neighbors and others outside of the home and schools environments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_takes_a_village

Furthermore, the extreme forms of helicopter parenting where children are not even allowed to walk to school by themselves is very US-centric and very modern.
Off the top of my head, we've been seeing crop failures due to lack of pollnators, and also bird population collapses in recent years.

Most wildlife indirectly eats insects as part of the food chain, and without insects most native plants will go extinct, so herbivores are mostly screwed too.

Without local plants you get other screwed up ecosystem issues. For instance, California's hills used to be green, not dead and yellow in the summer. That helps accelerate desertification.

If things continue down this road, we're completely fucked. Sometimes, I think nuking the politicians is the greenest path forward.

But, hey, it's election day here in California. Better go vote.
That was only 4 years, hardly an era.
There is a famous quote from a mathematician (maybe von Neumann, don't have it to hand) to the effect that you don't understand mathematics, you just get used to it. That's how monads work. You won't figure them out from thinking through the definition or listening to other people's explanations, but you will start to feel comfortable with them if you use them enough.

A mathematical analogy from introductory analysis is the concept of a dense set. If you're encountering the concept for the first time, it's easy to understand the definition, but it's hard to see why it matters. Then you start using it to solve problems and write proofs, and it's incredibly useful. After a while, you get a feeling about it, an intuition about when it might be helpful, and a facility at working through the technical details of using it. You get used to its power, in a way that feels like understanding. But you don't learn anything that can be passed on in words or symbols. You can't say anything to a beginner to clear up their confusion. You can only point them towards the exercises through which you acquired your understanding. Monads work exactly the same way.
I've always thought Lisp-ish would be great for building web apps, but I have so little experience in Lisp-ish I really have no idea if it works.
I actually wouldn't be surprised at all if we've improved airflow relative to license plates, as well. The whole push to increase fuel economy means figuring out how to get air not to hit anything head-on, which includes bumpers and license plates.

But in any case, I really would like better metrics than license plates and windshields. It amounts to anecdotes masquerading as data, and I have to assume that there are scientists who've made more accurate measures over the years that are more objective.

If you play those notes in a close voicing they can be jarring (although I went through a phase of composing with close clusters of tones just like that in my 20s), but if you instead play D, F up a minor third and then put the E a major seventh above the F, you end up with a chord that functions like Dmin9 (or more accurately DminAdd9). The missing fifth gets added psychoacoustically (jazz pianists have taken advantage of this for ages by playing the 3-7 of a chord in their left hand and the melody in the right hand, letting the bass cover the root and the brain of the listener add the 5).
Our contract is up for renewal in a few days, so we'd likely struggle to pull off self-hosted in that time. Self-hosting has been the watercooler talk, but we're currently migrating away from Circle CI (to GitHub <facepalm>), so it was on the cards for next year.

That content isn't "free". It's a sample, given away at cost by the Times, intended to engage you just enough to become a paying customer. Remember that all this stuff costs money to make, so when it's "free" its purpose is still to make money, one way or another.

The ad model is becoming unsustainable, people are catching on to the "we sell your personal information" approach, so businesses are now exploring the free + friction model in greater depth.

I'm not sure what you expected with the creeping footer. As a free user you don't drive enough revenue for them to sustain their business, so they're forced to introduce friction into the user experience to convert you into a real customer.

M5Stack sells some really good quality modules and I think kits as well. These work fine with Arduino, and also with their own UiFlow software.

The advantage I think with their products is that you only need to connect wires in general -- soldering and stuff is optional. They have good UI on hardware, and even include touchscreens, buttons and so on.

I think it will meet your "mostly fun" for sure!

Technically it's not Arduino in a sense that they mostly use ESP chips (not AVR), which is supported by Arduino IDE.

"Half of Germans think Germany should do more."

I'm one of the other half. Ukraine is a country that has been failing to meet European standards for corruption for decades, has had a history of gas disappearing in their territory (the gas transit disputes were a staple for European political entertainment every year since at least 1995), got billions of EU monies for improving their situation just to show no tangible results, has been price-gouging other European partners, and now sent someone to be their ambassador to Berlin who would be kicked out of any respectable pub (and most that aren't) for being completely undiplomatic.

In short: The Ukraine was not a reliable partner in the past. Russia, on the other hand, while being massively corrupt always delivered what they promised.

I have deep compassion for individual Ukrainians during this war. But I think it's probably best for Germany and Europe to not get involved too deeply. Scholz, for all his failures, does the right thing here.
There are many at this point...
I'm not opposed to this and personally think it's all up for discussion/debate and it should be discussed and debated. I'm excited to see what develops in this space.

One nitpick would be:

> e.g. anyone should be able to implement both ends of the Tesla supercharging protocol such that Tesla’s chargers would charge a competing car at the same prices that they charge Tesla’s; similarly, a competing chargers should be able to charge a Tesla.

I think this sounds good, but one of the details here is ensuring that other manufacturers are able to actually build the products correctly so a supercharger doesn't light a car on fire or something due to faulty equipment. Who is at fault? How is it prevented? What are the legal agreements? Etc.

On the pricing side though I'd have to strongly disagree. Tesla (or whoever) builds the infrastructure so they should be able to charge what they want. It's about the plug and interoperability of that standard, not infringing on the business model which I think goes too far. If they charge too much money, people won't use them and competitors will continue to emerge (I see new charging stations in Meijer parking lots being put next to Tesla infrastructure). There's no reason in my view to mandate pricing here and I think it would set back EV adoption to do so.
Admittedly I don’t know a ton about Mark Cuban, other than he kinda seems like a simpleton.

But if he’s able to have a profitable drug company that doesn’t produce drugs that lowers costs for consumers.. Welp that kinda shows that the system is in need of some change.

Good on this company for helping that though. Hopefully the clever people in the industry take notice and further improve things.

Tax havens have something to say about that.

The French semi giant, ST, is financially incorporated in the Netherlands (STMicroelectronics N.V.), as is the French giant Airbus (Airbus Group N.V.).

Homomorphic encryption allows you to modify the encrypted data without decrypting it or even knowing the the content. I don’t think this is homomorphic encryption.

If they are able to do this without decrypting the data then I think you could describe this as a somewhat week encryption that exposes some data attributes as queryable. You could not implement this with strong encryption without at least decrypting for indexing.
One of the good things that cryptocurrency brings is secure cryptography devices like Ledger. It has a secure screen that allows you to copy 24-word mnemonic to a sheet of paper and recover everything from it in case you lost/damaged your device. The mnemonic can be carved onto a piece of metal that would survive fire or locked into bank safe so as to survive incidents like this. It has proven to work reliably for exchanges where billions of dollars are at stake. And best of all, it supports U2F so you can sign in to regular websites with it.

I hope that such technology would find its use outside the crypto world and help us keep our identity safe.
