> What I didn’t consider was that my interactions were taking time/attention/resources/patience from the project. User support is a cost.

A lot of it - especially what OP mentioned - is an _investment_ in the project: Bug reports and feature requests are important input for developers, and often even save them more time than they take away.

> Lastly you always have the option to fork the project.

Mostly not. I mean, a fork for creating a merge request, sure, but maintaining a fork is either impossible or overly costly in the large majority of cases AFAICT.
The economics in buying this is whether re-running the 1-km of copper with whatever media you want will cost $430 or less.

Yes, but that’s not what the comment I’m replying to said. There seems to be some pervasive belief that absolutely no one ever beats the S&P500 index in the long run, which is obviously nonsense.

> In the case of GNOME it is not apathy towards choice but corporate backing.

That's what it looks like to me as well but whenever this is asserted, GNOME folks are quick to point out that they are understaffed and GNOME is a community project. I suppose we'll never know the reality.

> Despite being an even larger collection of s/w than GNOME and strongly supported by SuSE

I remember reading on HN that SuSE has people for GNOME developement but no one for KDE development. IIRC, they also ship with GNOME as the default choice.

> That shows the power of big corporate money's ability to take over even ostensibly "FOSS" software that's theoretically free but practically still dominated by a few companies

I've mentioned GNOME being similar to Android and Chromium in its nature of "look but don't touch" open source (unless you are part of their "community") but this hasn't been received well.

It seems that single mode fiber is king for long distance cable runs now, nevermind that it can push gigabits. What kind of cable would this be and is it actually much cheaper? My impression is that most cost of cabling now is the labor to run it as opposed to the medium, but I'm a neophyte for sure.

and that VC money is chasing a return, which is coming from gullible people.

I think there's a lot of hand-waving and bullshit before we get to the "yes, this is ultimately funded by speculators, and a lot of those speculators are uninformed people putting their life savings at risk". But that's where the conversations I've had with crypto people end up.
If you come at it from an assembly perspective, the explanation makes a lot of sense IMHO. But it could use a qualifier that the "name" is just a number and not the actual name as in the source code.
Yeah approx $400 for a pair. Mainly chip shortage messiness, I think I can get the cost down to less than $200 a pair in April 2023.

Regarding VSDL, never used it myself; I guess it would come down to space/power considerations. I haven't seen VDSL used much in the industrial automation, single pair ethernet seems to be the preferred choice.

Hey there ... I've been building serverless applications since 4 years now and have gone through a steep learning curve while the technology was very young. I think today you can easily build scalable serverless services using Lambda and other offerings. There are nuances on how to avoid specific bottle necks and work around them, but you'll only spot them probably once they happen.

The database is one of the most important choices you can make. Any database that requires a TCP/IP connection and doesn't work with an HTTP API is out of the picture due to the way lambda functions work with such databases. See more: https://www.webiny.com/blog/using-aws-lambda-to-create-a-mon...

The learning curve for DynamoDB is steep, but nothing that a senior developer can't tackle in a few weeks. It's a worthy skill to have, especially if you work in the AWS ecosystem.

Vendor locking will always be there, but really, don't worry too much about it, especially in the beginning. There are ways to protect yourself by abstracting your business logic and having a layer between how the logic interacts with the underlying serverless service. Later if you do need to move, the move will still be a bit painful, but not as much.

Cold start is not a problem at all if your bundle is not overly big. If needed you can always have a few provisioned concurrency functions.

In the USA, both buying and selling sex is illegal in most jurisdictions.
Yeah, There are all kinds of cross sections on high quality Japanese sword blades. Or rather simple ones, no way every foot soldier had a 20 times folded, 4 section (or whatever that is actually called) perfectly polished and heat treated blade.

Actually, come think of it, there are contemporary sources decribing how to straighten bent blades on the battlefield over some rock to continue fighting.

If you are interessted, there is a book on that topic (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Japanese-Sword-Swordmaking-Apprec..., Amazon was the first result that came up), it is really comprehensive covers everything from raw Tamahagane to the scabard, including guidance on polishing and heat treatment. Can only recommmend it! Buy the hard copy so, the eBook is unreadable.
Why not a much shorter list with adjectives? I think the last time I looked at this, a few disjoint lists of 256 words, plus a few 16 word adjective lists gets down to ~1m accuracy. Dropping adjectives just reduces accuracy.

With three disjoint short lists, and two disjoint adjective lists you get permutation robustness.

Basically just any CAT5e like twisted pair has worked for me up to 1km. 26AWG unshielded twisted pair basically, 100Ohm diff impedance. Cost of cabling is pennies IMO. Labor cost, who knows.

Optical can be quite expensive though these boards aren't exactly cheap (yet).
Oh weird. Having read the book, I agree it's a tough read. But would it have been the same if prostitution was legalised (or at least decriminalised) and regulated? I doubt it very much.

Sex work can be made far safer. A holier than thou blanket ban on legalisation of sex work will only guarantee that it won't become safer.

Similar to drug use, if we as societies continue to pretend that people won't partake in drugs because there are laws against it, all we're doing is ensuring drug use is more dangerous.

If you don't want to be a sex worker, don't be one. If you don't want to take drugs, don't take them (though I'm sure many anti-drug types enjoy a whiskey or 10).

But don't pretend you're doing people a favour by refusing to entertain the idea of legalising largely harmless behaviours. You're just ensuring that the actions which are going to happen regardless are more dangerous for those involved.

A bit like abortion, really.

Not necessarily if the crypto assets maintain long term value. I doubt people who bought bitcoin at $100 feel like losers out of it.
I wired my house with 62/125 fiber 22 years ago as a 1 km spool was only $250. I’m too lazy to look it up, but I suspect multimode fiber is cheaper than copper, and termination kits are cheap now.

I’m running 10G on single mode 100 ft jumpers to a few computers in the house and that’s cheap too. SFP are $35 but the NIC are more.

Exactly. Even further, without market share it means very little. You could fork and fund a parallel browser, but if it has no market share then it has no influence on the web.

True, but those blades start live as monosteel or, highly expensive specialized and top notch tech, sintered semi finished pieces. The latter is much closer to being a modern version of what the Japanese did than the former. The former can also be done by induction hardening. I researched that a bit a while ago, and it is basically highly controllable hardening for e.g. gears and surface hardening.

Metallurgy is quite fascinating.

They're typically much lower. PG&E customers are mercilessly fleeced. Silicon Valley Power and Palo Alto charge around $0.14/KWh. PG&E averages around 3x as much, though their base rate (whose quota most people handily exceed) is only $0.32/KWh right now.

They can (and often do, at least for deportations from the UK) demand to see evidence that the deportee is, in fact, one of their citizens. Which can be difficult to prove without a passport.

SPE (Single-Pair Ethernet) is going to be a big deal, IMHO, and I would view this as a 'development board' for learning, though perhaps it also makes economic sense as an actual solution in some situations.

The other killer feature of SPE (apart from in-theory cheaper cabling) is PoDL (Power over data line). Does this board do that?
A single-browser web, like any monoculture, dramatically increases the potential damage of common mode failure. With everything - even important infrastructure and services - becoming directly or transitively dependent on the the web, we should be diversifying the browser ecosystem to limit the scope of a class break[1].

It also heats up dark surfaces. One way to remove that heat would be to have some kind of combined PV + solar thermal panel. The other lower tech option is to cover your roof with soil and plants, which release the heat back during the night. Vegetation is esentially a heat buffer.

I think I’ve mentioned it here before but I once traveled to a country with laws hostile to LGBTQ+ people with three friends: another hetero woman and two gay men who were a couple. For safety reasons we pretended we were two hetero couples which included checking into our hotel rooms as “couples”.

Unbeknownst to us there was also a law that unmarried heterosexual couples couldn’t share hotel accommodations. In some places this meant the men had to share a room and the women had to share a room because, when asked, we couldn’t provide a marriage certificate. (Ironically their strict enforcement of the law intended to prevent premarital sex would have the opposite effect.) But in some hotels the way they got around this was to simply note that we were married. Often without even asking. And in one instance when things got a bit dicey the hotel manager was sufficiently satisfied of our “marriage” by seeing the receipts of our other hotel stays.

All of that is to say I got the impression it’s a very subjective and selectively enforced thing.

OP discusses W3C as preferable, but my understanding was that the W3C is already fairly irrelevant to what browsers actually do, usurped by the browser-vendor-organized WHATWG.

> However, they can’t (quite) go cowboy/cowgirl and do it on their own right now – they’ve all agreed to work together on the definition of what ‘the Web’ is in a Standards Developing Organization (SDO), most often the W3C.

I didn't think that was what was going on at all. Has this changed again since last time I was paying attention, has the W3C regained some influence on browser implementations?

> it’s more fundamentally a question of how do we organize society so that important decisions are made well? And, what will be considered legitimate governance of the Web?

Indeed.

This is a job for them. And most come from poor backgrounds with families to support. How many of us would stand up right now and call out our employers in public for doing evil things? Not many. We've got mortgages to pay and kids to feed. Ultimately they just want to get paid and go home, like anyone else.
I’d say “specialize” in what calls your attention the most, but so be aware that what you enjoy will likely become uninteresting once you are being paid for it. That is simply because when you are paid to do something the expectation is not for you to follow whatever you like but whatever is profitable for whoever is paying you.

To qualify “specialization” as I said it up there, I mean more like being productive, familiar with current tools, etc, not necessarily “specializing” in frontend to build the next react or contribute to the CSS parser for Chromium. (If that’s what you want go for it!)

All that I’m saying is, don’t feel like you need to specialize and if you don’t you’ll be either not have a successful career or miss out on things that interest you.

One of the most freeing things for me was realizing the difference between professional coding and personal/hobby coding. Professionally (read, being paid for) I build CRUD apps, and I’m humbly confident in my skills in that area.

But personally, for myself, I enjoy functional programming, low level OS development, some game dev from time to time, and literally whatever else that calls my fancy! And I wouldn’t want to get paid for it because of I where I couldn’t have the freedom I have to just follow my curiosity and enjoy tech!

So, good luck figuring out your career but don’t limit your tech interests to what you get paid for, explore and enjoy!
Nice feelings you have there.

Why can't we legalise sex work and cut a lot of pimps out of the equation? Maintain a "ban" on street walking, but allow brothels and escorting.

What is prostitution anyway? A coal miner sells his body in similar ways to a prostitute.

Why can't we legalise drugs and cut cartels and gangs out of the equation? Personal use amounts, manufactured and taxed like other drugs (alcohol, cigarettes etc)

Why can't we legalise abortion and cut backyard operators out of the equation?

Why should your moral stances take precedence over the safety of others?

You can't legislate behaviours away. They're going to happen. We've been taking drugs for 10s of 1000s of years. We've been trading our bodies for benefits for at least a few thousand.

These actions are largely harmless. Let's realise that making them illegal is a large part of what makes them dangerous.

Most apps I build have a rdbms main data store but I use firestore for things like real time interactions or more recently real time commenting.

It would be a bit more time consuming and challenging to set this up across iOS, android, and web. A lot more time would be spent figuring out the system to make this work well and without issues at scale. On the other hand… It takes like 20 min to set up a real time feature with firestore that works across all platforms. It scales well and works great for what it is.

If people try to use it in place of a rdbms or complex use cases, they’re going to have a bad time. But for those who can utilize their tool belt effectively, it’s awesome.
