It doesn’t matter if a secular organization has a cult or even social organizations, labor practices need to remain fair regardless of membership. That seems to be the issue with this story as one of the directors in question has already lost lawsuits because of favoring cult members over non. The cult itself seems suspect, but that’s for law enforcement to determine.

The only commercial aspect is productivity like IntelliCode, IntelliTrace, GitHub AutoPilot and friends. For that you pay JetBrains, Microsoft, GitLab etc. There they will make money.

"To conclude, our analysis of the out-of-labor-force activities in the CPS reveals that shifts toward retirement and home care/family care have driven the shortfall in labor force participation. This squares well with anecdotal evidence. Our findings also suggest that the shifts are not limited to a certain age range for retirement or a certain gender for home care/family care."

Well, people wanted boomers to get out of the way and it looks like they're getting (or got) their wish. Unless/until daycare resumes as-before, the percentage of women in the workforce will be reduced as they tend to be the child caregiver in most cases. There was a hell of a run-up in the market, so anybody who could take the money and run might just have done so (the early retirees mentioned in the article?). Birth rate's low for boomer replacement and it's a multi-decade process.

I'm sure there's also some residual covid-fear keeping service workers from returning. There's also asshole-fear doing this, as the civility of the marketplace hasn't survived covid all that well.

It's going to be up to your local building codes -- the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction), in National Electric Code parlance -- but the answer is, "almost certainly." Pretty much any time you're running new wires you should get a permit. Adding a switch? Permit. A couple new recessed lights? Permit.

Reality: almost nobody does this.

This is a pretty good list of situations where you will/won't need a permit. In most cases you can replace an existing outlet/fixture without a permit, but anything new will require one:

My first computer with a hard disk was 10MB. You could store the operating system (MSDOS 5) and several programs (I remember Professional Write and QPRO. Not only that, but you could even store games. Prince of Persia was available in 2 floppies (5 1/4") with 720KB each one. You could store the whole game in the hard disk as well... This was around 1990.

In 1956, 5MB was plent of storage.

People aren't using "open" in this thread as a euphemism for "nice" or "open to help." There are a lot of nice, friendly, helpful people who work on very proprietary, very closed, intentionally non-interoperable software. It's alright for you to like them personally and to think their products are great, but maybe it's not alright for them to have critical software in Linux distributions, or for people to base their own businesses on that software without being mindful that when you do that they become a defacto partner.

As Graydon Hoare notes in the comments on GitHub this wasn't the first repo so the real history goes back even further. He's also shared a "prehistory" repo [1] which is interesting to browse. The first commit [2] in _that_ repo is from 2008 but Graydon mentions starting work back in 2006.

Anyway in a sense this repo represents Rust in the real world rather than in gestation, so seems apt to call it the birthday.

Oh thank you, this is very helpful.
That sounds like the worst of both worlds, actually. A web-LIKE language that only supports some, not all, of real browser features? Sounds like Internet Explorer all over again.

If you can't reuse the same code between web and the desktop, you might as well use a better desktop framework. This just creates a false positive lookalike that is surface-level compatible but really not reusable and maintainable, and trying to figure out which APIs are shared and which aren't would be more work than just working in a different language & environment altogether.
This is good podcast episode on occupational licensing and the problems it creates.

Perhaps, but I still wouldn't want anyone prying into my private stuff (while I'm alive).

Also, tracking back, what I'd need to store somewhere (hence I asked "Where?" originally) is:

- password to password manager

- password to encrypted laptop

- password to email account (not stored in password manager)

- frequently used PIN codes (mobile screen lock and various apps)

I could store the PIN codes in the password manager to make things a bit easier, but I'd still be storing the two passwords somewhere that can unlock my online identity, plus the laptop password that unlocks some really private stuff. None of these would be acceptable to me to get into the hands of a nefarious spouse, whether or not I could sue for it later.

As to "Where?"... an alternative to the Bitwarden feature could be to store these passwords using some sort of 3/5 multi-sig encryption with friends and family members where they'd have to collude in order to get a hold of my stuff. But I wouldn't want to give them access either, my spouse only. But then again, what if we both die in a plane crash?

Perhaps there's no optimal solution. Maybe the good ol' lawyer would work. Give a lawyer the passwords, along with contacts to hand over the information in an order of precedence, like spouse->brother->mother->friend. If something happens, give first person alive in the list the information in X weeks.

> Nobody ever talks about rate increases in terms of their ratio to the previous rate.

Uncommon in finances, but quite common in other domains. The mathematics involved do not change across those domains.

> this would be insanely confusing.

What is confusing about it? Knowing that the rate increased by, in this case, 100% or 0.75pp provides the same information if you know the previous rate. You must know the previous rate in order to determine the new rate either way.

You are quite right that the percentage point (pp), rather than the percent (%), is often the exact information people want to know. It is why the information is provided as a percentage point (pp) and not a percent (%). It may be also be provided as basis points (bp), but that is the same as a percentage points (pp) except multiplied by 100 to make working with fractions of a percentage point (pp) easier.

> 75bp or 0.75%, which are equivalent.

They can be equivalent. An increase from 100% to 100.75% is a 75bp, 0.75pp, and 0.75% increase. However, that is not generally true. A 1% to 1.75% increase is a 75bp, 0.75pp, and 75% increase.

What is certain is that the difference between two numbers does not produce a percentage. That is not how percentages work.

Why do you think that the supposed woke culture of Google is good?
Lock files protect you from the version changing out from under you, but modules disappearing from NPM is a thing that happens. Yes, you can use artifactory or similar as a proxy but that requires infrastructure that you may not want to run. That is all to say: there are situations where committing node_modules is the least evil.
I am curious why git modules couldn't be used here, and perhaps scripted to match particular workflows.
The UK (and to a lesser extent the US) have robust private archaeology industries. It's a pretty well accepted career path, but not the only one. Government and academic positions still exist (and are usually more sought-after).
Also, reading from the article they are mentioning that there was already tape storage (non random access). I can imagine that the 5MB random access disks were using as "working memory" and then results where still stored in tape.

This is basically the same thing as Tauri but once again, the difference is the language used. I don't know what the selling point is other than it is using Go FFI to talk to the Desktop APIs.

The reason why Electron exists is that it is able to directly turn existing web apps or anything using the Chrome APIs into desktop apps and being compatible with the wider Javascript ecosystem as well with little effort other than adapting to the desktop. I don't think that it is possible with this or Tauri unless you want to rewrite the whole thing and not depend on Chromium APIs.

A great alternative would be compatible with these Chromium APIs and allow an easy migration off of Electron but that is not going to happen anytime soon.

Either way, I'd rather see Flutter Desktop as a suitable competitor and a possible alternative to Electron desktop apps rather than these webview-based alternatives.

The math still works out because there's not much cost savings to be had in using V8 instead of VM/physical machine instances to share physical equipment cost. It's worth that small extra bit of money to pay to have your code running with the extra bit of protection.
> Web and node ecosystem is rotten to the core.

As a web dev, I agree 100%. It's a mess.

> That's not a problem, but a very big plus.

...but if your business need/use case is to port with your existing web app to the desktop with minimal fuss (and you're willing to sacrifice UX), this in no way helps (unlike Electron). If you're going to have to manually rewrite everything for the desktop anyway, why would you want to do it in the DOM, using an older HTML version, a CSS subset, and a somewhat-compatible JS-lookalike? Why wouldn't you just write it in a desktop-native UI kit?

Which is "source open". But we also need "open source" (which includes and OSI license), so we can package independent of Microsoft. There the critic about closing their ecosystem comes from.
Because the UK is small and congested and old, it has a lot of historical sites juxtaposed with modern development. Developers are required (by law or code or something not sure) to do archeological studies when developing, so they hire companies to do it for them.

How does archaeology work where you live? Do you have to pay the government to come and do it for you?
Most C64 games used character-based graphics (coupled with the smooth scrolling support in the VIC) which meant you'd at most move 2000 bytes to scroll the entire screen every 4 to 8 pixels scrolled.

You can easily scroll the entire screen on a C64 if that's all you're doing.

Some games did also scroll bitmaps. There the naive version requires moving 9000 bytes (40x25x8 for the bitmap data, 40x25 for the colour data) every time you need to scroll, and that indeed starts to bite. There are games which reduces the cost this using a trick called AGSP ("Any Given Screen Position").

But you're right static parts of the screen were often larger to reduce the dynamic part. That was rarely down to just scrolling the screen in isolation, though, but because the overall budget of cycles you had to work with was tiny. Often you might also have a lot of other stuff which consumed lots of cycles affected directly by the size of the playing field. E.g. if you did sprite multiplexing (moving a sprite after it had been partially or fully rendered to reuse the same hardware sprite), you might well be keeping the CPU busy throughout the full rendering of the playing field.

There was also the consideration of how much effort you wanted to go to in order to avoid glitches, since unless you could do the scrolling entirely while the VIC was rendering the parts of the screen outside the playing field, you'd need to make sure the rendering and copying didn't overlap, and of course just restricting playing field size was an easy workaround for that problem.

If you're verifying (air quotes) something like whether someone is 21, I wonder if it would make better sense to ask the year of their birth, then ask the month and day only if they answered with the year where it mattered. You don't need to be that granular most of the time, so why put people through the hassle?

New lawsuit claims Amazon uses Alexa to target ads Seattle
I don't think I agree. You don't need root and you don't need to "install" anything with these other options; it allows the user to extract and run rather than extract, elevate, install, run. It clearly shifts some of the pain from the user back to the developer. It's particularly clearly a win if you're distributing your app on your website instead of via distro package managers.

In general, the chances of you making someone sick or injured by developing software is very, very low indeed.

An unclean barber can spread lice and other diseases if they are unclean, not to mention that they are using sharp tools near someone's head ... or a razorblade on someone's face.

Do you want to trust that you'll not catch diseases or other things from the barber or would you rather be able to have some sort of license?

If you'd rather take the risk, so be it. I'd rather not.

Before RAMAC, information had to be entered by running a stack of cards through a punched card machine, and answers would arrive in hours or days. RAMAC could find data in seconds, alter it, and move on to find a completely different piece of data. It let enterprises think about data in new ways, mixing and matching it on the fly. Random access made the relational database possible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database#1960s,_navigational_D...

The introduction of the term database coincided with the availability of direct-access storage (disks and drums) from the mid-1960s onwards. The term represented a contrast with the tape-based systems of the past, allowing shared interactive use rather than daily batch processing.
