I use the build in math command in fish[0] on a daily basis. Its always faster and way more comfortable to just type an equation in instead of waiting for a gui calculator and possibly clicking operators together. Id say for such tasks cli tools always win at the end in terms of user experience and speed.

You also have some mental thresholds that multiply this effect even more. The difference between 5 min build and 30 min build isn’t just 25 mins. It’s the difference between I will only run this over lunch break, vs I will run this while fetching coffee. Add many other thresholds like short enough to still stare at progress bar vs alt-tab into Facebook and loose attention and waste another 10mins there, slow enough to only run over night, etc.

Then there is the death by a thousand paper cuts effect. For smaller tasks like updating status in Jira, if this takes 30 seconds of clicking and waiting (far from a hypothetical scenario btw!), I’m simply going to say fuck it and not do it at all.

Afaik, that's the (modern, post-1918, [0]) definition of a monopoly under Sherman Antitrust Act (of 1890).

And specifically, that a monopoly's nature and actions "[must] suppress or even destroy competition." Think duck typing.

Unfortunately, US vs ATT was never decided, as ATT volunteered to be broken up in 1982.

But the broader approach seems to have been that small monopolies are not harmful to the public good, as they face the potential of competitors (sometimes, larger ones) expanding from unrelated fields into their business.

It's only when a successful company leverages its success into a size (and dominance) that makes competition impossible that it becomes a legally actionable monopoly (by restricting even the possibility of competition).

Not conflating, it's a good example. The asset is the magic box, not the potatoes. The magic box is worth less when it's producing less.

It's not like collectibles. Productive assets have value no matter what someone wants to pay for it. That's why gold and crypto are so stupid - it's greater fool theory.

It’s oddly sad to me that you (and so many others) see interfaces adopting more intuitive and inclusive idioms and reducing the barriers to entry while becoming even more powerful as regressions.

Software is interesting and fun in different ways to different people; most people find tools accomplishing their goals with as little overhead as possible far more fun than reading technical docs. Not saying you’re wrong to like reading manuals, but it’s not a moral failure to have a cognitive profile, or heck, even a schedule that’s meaningfully hindered by your daily toolbox having reading prerequisites.
Or want to run a program on one computer and have its GUI display on another (people still act like VNC/Spice is an answer here but it's parsecs behind). Or want to write a client that can tell if it is in view or not. Or...

With a name like Paris Marx you hardly need to question where this author's bias lies. Right now with my smartphone (a device you can be sure would never have been invented on a government committee) I can stream any song released in the past 100 years, I can get detailed step-by-step instructions on how to drive to the other side of the continent, I have access to the biggest encyclopedias that have ever existed, I can learn any programming language for free, I can keep up to date 24/7 with current events (even if the government doesn't approve of the news outlets I'm looking at), I can make a living working remotely (with software developed by private companies), I can order literally any item and have it delivered straight to my door, the list goes on... Having worked as a software engineer, it's a miracle that any of this works at all. Adding in 7 layers of government bureaucracy sounds like a good way to have the whole edifice come crumbling down, not to mention stifling any sort of innovation that might be left in tech.

I guess my point is, if there was every anything that has done more to liberate the average human being, it is the internet. I just don't buy the argument that any of this would have happened without free market competition, or that the state of the internet not is somehow worse than it would be otherwise.
Not for "speaking his mind" but doing so via an interstaff memo, which is intrinsically not suited to such purposes (and which doesn't really have anything to do with free speech, as such).

Yeah, it’s fair to question the real commitment to Article 5 that some NATO members have given their entanglement in a number of other economic engagements. I tend to think that there’s kind of a priority list of NATO members in reality that differs from what’s on paper. Germany? Absolutely. France and the UK? Of course. But Lithuania and Turkey? Poland I still think is a red line since, well, it’s been a red line since 1945 I suppose.

I don’t know that I’m as confident as you are in the Russian VDV’s ability to competently conduct an airborne invasion given their, shall we say, clumsy implementation of combined arms war in Ukraine thus war. I’d also love to see a citation that 20% (really?) of the population in the Baltics wouldn’t freakout and instead either actively support or be indifferent to a Russian invasion.
Any economic thought a bit further left than left-of-center gets quickly deemed "not economics."

Phrased differently, the field of economics dismisses any economic thought that doesn't serve the interests of capital and the people with the capital.

I don't think people take an issue with economists' predictions as much as their prescriptions. Younger econ doctoral candidates would do well to spend some time hanging out with the political scientists on campus. (They largely are doing this.)

The field will move forward one death at as time.

What an awesomely scaling rebuttal by Dr. Lenski
In practice it’s actually the opposite. A reusable drone has to have enough fuel to come back, which halves its range compared to a loitering munition that doesn’t come back. A reusable drone isn’t intended to collide with the target, and can’t be rocket-powered, so it will be much slower to reach and strike a target when the target is identified. It has to have the ability to land and to be rearmed, which adds complexity and thus expense.

Past a certain size a drone can fly high enough and far enough that it fills the combat role of an aircraft, but as far as man-portable systems go, well-resourced militaries demonstrate consistent preference for single-use guided explosives like the Javelin or Switchblade to maximize range and payload size and minimize time to impact.

Why Brex is no longer qualified to be our bank:

We’ve put $millions through Brex cash/cards and will almost certainly leave after reading this. This doesn’t affect us (I think?) but that they’d do something like this in this way is a breach of trust that signals bigger problems down the line. What is “Empower” and why would I believe they won’t sunset the current Brex offering to push some upmarket sales nonsense on us as it that new thing becomes the focus?

We had kind of outgrown Brex anyway, but this is sad to see. What really irks me here is that I know my first company, a bootstrapped e-commerce thing that was a healthy “small business” would have been axed by this, but the current one is big enough that they wouldn’t want to lose us. Just doesn’t sit right with me.

I appreciate how tough this decision probably was, but I hope they properly modeled who else they’d lose via loss of faith, like us.

Ah, Conservapedia. Here is their page which "disproves" the theory of relativity, which starts off by conflating the theory of relativity with moral relativism.

In addition to ignoring all the experiments which confirm relativistic predictions, there cite various open issues (eg, no general solution to the equations) as if that is disproof, and they also cite the bible in a few places.

Ash HN: SaaS Pricing mode, PAYG or Fixed pricing plan
We launched https://formcan.com, a web form builder. Many people's first reaction is, oh, another form builder, reinventing the wheel. The truth is, we've been running https://platoforms.com, a SaaS product that converts PDFs to online forms, for 5 years, so rather than build FormCan from scratch, we got a lot of ideas while running PlatoForms and reused a lot of code when building FormCan. This is how we created FormCan.

One of the highlights is the pricing model, most form builder SaaS use a fixed pricing plan. We thought a 'pay as you go' model would make more sense for our customers, so FormCan will pay as you use it and the bill is based on usage. Prices range from $6 to $36, depending on the number of forms a user uses. However, I’ve received some feedback that this payment method is too complicated and that they prefer a fixed pricing plan. So my question is, what is the best pricing model for SaaS, PAGY or a fixed pricing plan? Would you accept PAGY for a form builder product?

This is incorrect you should re-read the post here cause I think you misunderstood the implication. They lacked the logging at the time to know what apps were impacted and the extent to which customers were compromised by this. They are legally obligated to disclose security risks like this which is why they did. You should consider setting a higher bar for your commendations.
Even if we accept that your use of language may in some sense be legitimate, it's not accurate as far as the term LGBTQ+ that you borrowed is defined, so it doesn't matter.

If you are going to use the happiness of the country as justification for something you need to do a bunch of fancy statistics to try and disagregate the specific thing you are justifying from the large basket of differences between the countries you are comparing, as there are often large differences that are unrelated to what you are talking about driving happiness differentials.

It is also extremely disingenuous to call innovation and companies "new ways to part people from their money." People are often parting with their money because that new thing meaningfully improves their lives. Also, the basic scientific research argument is extremely overplayed. Breakthroughs in basic scientific research amount to nothing if they don't make it into the supply chain for goods and services eventually and that happens through company formation.
A munition that doesn’t have to come back is always going to have more range and be able to carry more payload weight than one that does have to come back afterward.

While that is true, and the author seems biased supporting some degree of federal/international government ownership of the internet while also having borderline satirical levels of tracking, popups and subscriptions on their site. I think saying that the internet is completely healthy at the more abstract level of humans communicating to each other without borders would be incorrect.

Search engines funnel the typical 'surfer' into platforms rife with newsfeeds algorithmically curated to influence them for engagement or garbage SEO spam networks attempting to get every last cent of advertising revenue they can acquire. There is a genuine issue with discoverability on the internet directing people towards content that is meaningful.
Yes we do. I am not encouraging the NFT as our next big thing in tickets.

Try browsing by default with javascript off, and enabling it only for sites that don't work. It's actually not that annoying to do since many sites degrade gracefully and degrade the "features" I don't want anyway(like promo or cookie banners).

For me, it’s two days of productivity and three days of non-stop distractions. It’s hard to think that we were doing this five days a week.

Maybe I just need a bit more time to adjust, but so far it’s an unequivocal downgrade in getting work done.
People living above their means is an epidemic. Mostly, it's people trying to look rich, whatever that means, and having poor self-control (high MPC) and poor money management skills. Their income sheet maybe positive, but like most stockbrokers, they don't have a balance sheet to back it up.

The Eternal September is a real phenomenon. That's a particular "worse" aspect, even if the overall effect of that sharing of the wealth is massively positive.

Personally, I find this article ridiculous, even without the irony mentioned in the comments.

I think there should be regulation of ISPs coupled with more community broadband efforts. I also like protocol-based social media. I also think there should be scrutiny of larger companies for anti-competitive behavior. But you can do these things, and other efforts, without banning private investment in the Internet entirely.

Also, this article's assertion that the Internet's golden age ended in 1995 is rather laughable. I know Usenet pre-Eternal September was nice, but I'd hardly call it the "golden age" of the internet, especially since it was barely accessible to the public at that time.
Then you don't understand how software licenses work in the real world. AGPL means it's radioactive and, furthermore, it can't be made into a cloud service.

I think at this stage in the game, if you can't use a linux desktop but consider yourself to be 'in tech' in any way, the problem is probably you.

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

Huh, that's where the enneagram, which I am aware is currently popular in many western progressive Christian circles, comes to our culture through...

More interestingly, I have probably at some point read a book or an excerpt that this man, with a background in fourth way before a conversion to Orthodoxy, translated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Amis#Mount_Athos

And Robin Amis claimed the Enneagram comes from Mount Athos...? I didn't expect that claim.

EDIT: This is a deeper rabbit hole than I thought. Gurdjieff also reportedly had an impact on Timothy Leary (prominent early psilocybin researcher) and Alan Watts (a former teacher of Fr. Seraphim Rose), among dozens of others...

The occult/new thought movements of the 1800s and 1900s is an absolute cat's cradle of interesting ideas mixed in with cartoonish chicanery and sheer lunacy. I can't afford to simply ignore it because people who went through that pipeline were fed directly into influential roles in translation and instruction in the english speaking Orthodox world, which I dwell in. Just how many similar connections am I going to discover in the next year?

...To some extent this could just be an example of the whole "6 degrees of separation" thing. That, and St. Augustine of Hippo was a Manichaean neophyte and there's other examples out there. Maybe there's something about former seekers of the occult that naturally leads them to places of influence if they end up in the church...

What happened if I may ask
I recall so many emails, calls, texts, LI messages in the past 2 years asking for signup. We were much smaller then, 2-3 FTs in US, and I kept telling them we are not your ideal customer/clientele, go mid size. The pitch was we were the exact clients(startups) needs they needed to solve credit issues and help grow!

Completely can align with the thought that is things do not work, exit the space or pivot, but keep moving on to better strategies and execution. Do the needed.

So, after installing the trial, I see that the app is dynamically linked to libav libraries. Which, for distribution, can only be licensed under LGPL or GPL v2.1 or 3, depending on configuration. This requires at the least that the libav source code used be made available. And if libav was compiled as GPL, then Recut would have to be GPL too. But I can't find any licensing info at the website or in the installer or the installed files.

I’m not sure if this is genuine question or not (and forgive my presumption, if there is any, as I know not everyone is privileged with both a technical and legal education), but the reason these kinds of modals exist is because of (1) legal expectations, and (2) the organization’s function as a(n advocacy) publication and a likely desire to collapse two necessary but intrusive elements into a single interruption/intervention.
I could see interpreting the occasional government shut down as both parties "cooperating" in an attempt to spite each other, with the useful bits of government caught in the crossfire.
