That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the link. I've not worked with Go before so I couldn't find exactly where the implementation was.

Even granted the unlikely premise that relevant materials are more abundant in space than on Earth, the points remain that:

- Good planets are hard to find.

- That the available habitable planetary / surface area is only modestly larger than that of Earth alone, and vastly less hospitable (see: https://xkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1389 https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1389:_Surface_Are...).

- Costs of space travel in both financial and resource terms would be prohibitive for moving more than a vanishingly small fraction of the human population off-planet.

- Any space colonists would have to first create and then maintain a habitable ecosystem in whatever remote environment they chose to occupy (under conditions which make contemporary epithets of "eco-fascism" appear to descirbe a positively libertarian regime).

And ... given all that, the challenge of living sustainbly on this one small fragile beautiful blue-wite gem we happen to have lucked into coming to existence on will remain for any foreseable future.

Space isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card.

> (but then do it right, and not like a amateur who build's his first "gaming-pc").

Again, still avoiding the point, but oddly enough proving the point. You assume everyone isn't an amateur and knows how to build and maintain server hardware. Furthermore, because the market doesn't have enough talent to support all of the companies that exist, consolidating this to a few vendors who do have the expertise is what makes sense (economies of scale) and is what the market already decided.
There are plenty of no-token and even no-crypto apps (primarily leveraging just signing, but instead of forcing people to use PGP they just use wallets because their target audience already has that, instead of something that failed to get that critical mass for 25 consecutive years)

The tokenized ones are actually the survivorship bias! As you can't even think of the non-tokenized apps because they don't have the advertisement, rapid fan base, ways to incentivize humans, or the charts that get people's attention.
This enlightens me as to how people can code with ed (and why Ken Thompson famously said 'I don't want to see the state of the file when I'm editing.'). It's basically a REPL for writing code. Same as psql, the commands you use to view the state of the text (database) are different from the commands you use to edit the state of the text (database).

Still sucks though. Even in psql I regularly drop into vim with \e to edit whole queries before sending them out.
Yes, this is crazy frustrating. The problem isn’t exclusive to boutique Linux laptops either, a lot of manufacturers use terribly dim panels that are barely usable in a well-daylight-lit room, and exacerbating it they’re glossy with extremely ineffective antiglare coating, which adds a thick layer of glare that the dim backlight doesn’t have a prayer of cutting through.

Even expensive laptops can have this problem… I briefly owned a $2k+ ASUS ROG G15 that had an otherwise nice screen (15.6” 2560x1440 144hz IPS satin finish), but had a 300 nit backlight which rendered all that moot except at night.

This is one of those things that Apple nails. The MacBooks I’ve used for work have all had displays bright enough to handle a bright room with ease with very little glare despite being glossy. My Thinkpad X1 Nano also has a matte 500 nit display that’s quite nice.

Make sure you don't have an ARM. ARM holders might see their payments skyrocket when it goes off the fixed rate.

If you currently have a fixed rate mortgage then you are locked in and in great shape. Nothing will change monthly in your mortgage. The "what does this mean" could be that you can comfortably afford to live there but that moving would become much more expensive that you are stuck in your current home for five years.

The data is obviously valuable, but they don't necessarily deserve a monopoly on that data, since that data primarily belongs to the users who created the data; so while it's understandable that organizations want to restrict that data, we have no obligation (moral or otherwise) to respect that desire.
How can this argument be made in good faith? The spec is open source, all the clients are open source.

Furthermore, it's implemented and running. You could argue that someone in particular has made a poor or incomplete explanation of how it works but not that they way it works is unfathomable or being patched as your speak. It's already implemented, go look at the code if you don't want to believe what anyone says.

> if human civilization completely collapses

Even if it doesn't, nuclear waste storage is still a very expensive and indefinitely long project (assuming you want to keep adding to it, stop it poisoning the ground water, and stop terrorists getting access to it, etc.)

> I've had these people tell me that

It's still strawmanning if you pick an actual bad argument that someone told you and don't just come up with the bad argument yourself. I'm sure you're smart enough to imagine the failure modes of trying to launch millions of rockets full of nuclear waste, so the environmentalists are right to oppose such an idea even if they can't articulate why.
We need an alliance between nuclear fans and wind (heh) fans. You situate the nuclear fans in front of the wind fans' wind turbines. The wind fans then ask the nuclear fans about nuclear's ongoing problems with going over-budget on new builds and unresolved multi-century waste management commitments. The nuclear fans immediately try to hand-wave these objections away. The resulting draft turns the wind turbines. Viola, clean, green energy!
> Tourism saved Venice

I'd wager that Marghera's refinery saved Venice much more than tourism did, at least economically speaking. Also, are you talking about Venice proper (the island parts) or the City of Venice more widely (including Mestre and Marghera)?

> Also funny we never hear from the people who are making money from tourism?

I can speak for that. My grandpa was one of the kiosks owner in Piazza S. Marco. After his retirement my uncles inherited it.

My grandpa used to make a lot of money from tourists buying souvenirs. In the last 20 years sales dropped, nobody buys anything from them anymore, they are now trying to sell sweaters and hats and (of course) they can't seem to sell those either.

But still, my grandpa complains both when there's plenty of tourists and when there are none.

EDIT: I forgot to type where this was going: my grandpa is against this entry fee.

/EDIT

It would be interesting to know who actually makes money in Venice.

Just my two cents: if the only people happy in a city are those that make money from tourism then it's not a city, it's a theme park.

Magic Leap was AR not VR. VR blocks your view entirely with a screen. MagicLeap overlays onto the real world.

I’ve tried Magic Leap and HoloLens, and in my opinion, the tech is just too early for a successful consumer product.

The very first Oculus made me think “I want this now”. Magic Leap made me think “Interesting, but I don’t actually want to use this until it’s far more advanced, which feels like it’s probably decades away”.
> What other services might be run, controlled, or surveilled by the US investigative authorities?

Any service that is marketed to you as privacy- or security-as-a-service, or software sold as privacy- or security-enhancing, is virtually guaranteed to be secretly working against the interests of its users. You can't buy security or privacy in the form of software or services, because privacy and security are a set of good practices, not a product. People who think they can buy a "privacy phone" are just marks who are being conned by various organizations.
>No, it's about representation of information in a system, as your own Wikipedia link states right up at the top of the second paragraph.

That's a little too broad to be useful, IMO. I learned the DRY principle before that book came out, and it was strictly about not repeating yourself in code. You can apply it to other things, but it was originally code. Normal form is a good example of applying DRY to RDBMS systems/schemas. "Single source of truth," is a good example of applying DRY to separate database systems. None of those were considered part of the DRY principle when I was starting out.

>They apply it quite broadly to include "database schemas, test plans, the build system, even documentation".

The article even hints those particular authors expanded on it beyond its original intent. They certainly didn't invent it.
When it comes to theft or murder there are broad laws. There isn't one law to say that you can't murder using a gun, another to say that you can't murder using a knife, and so on.

In this case, it seems there's a less broad law that applies, where it feels as though a much broader law should apply.
In my opinion, breaking a click-through license agreement or violating the small print on some dense and difficult to read web page is hardly an issue of morality or ethics.

Out of curiosity - did a PE person tell you that?

It's a bit of a romanticized view. Like a junk yard mechanic opining on the circle of life.

Some PE firms definitely resurrect companies. But a lot are junk yards for companies: they buy to divest & accelerate lifetime profits to today, knowing they'll just dispose the husk at the end. Others are monopoly plays: "roll ups" of local/regional players until there's just one option left and they can raise prices. Still others are growth plays: they're willing/able to take bigger risks, for bigger rewards. And others exist too.

Notably, all would likely describe themselves as arbitrage on bloated/mismanaged companies.

But that doesn't make it true, really

No, we don't need nuclear. Intermittency of renewables is a problem that has solutions, and the cost of those solutions is low enough to render new construction nuclear entirely uncompetitive in the US and Europe, and likely elsewhere. At worst, if the cost estimates of the solutions are grossly underestimated, this just means we're paying a bit more. At the same time, costs of nuclear power plants are consistently grossly underestimated, so one should honestly address the cost risk on both sides.
While it's evident nuclear sentiment is not great in germany, from my point of view, I wouldn't characterize it as great in france either. Sadly, I think in this domain (as in many) france lives with the infrastructure and build of its past and currently fails to invest for its future, it's more managing decline than anything else. I think as current nuclear plants become older and mismatch between current needs and true green energies production become more apparent, people still live in a bubble and don't see the urgency nor courage to really invest in new reactors and plants and prepare the future, for france and europe. My dream would be that france, with help of germany and other willing eu countries would build new reactors with an overcapacity for france alone such that it would then provide this energy to other ue countries. Nuclear energy is a chance and is not mutually exclusive with other energies.

But that looks like a way to put people off? Some will see it as "cis" in the sense of 'cisgender' which is just funny, no one will think of IT abbreviation (i am in the industry for 20+ years and heard it for the first time today), and if someone remembers what CIS is (few outside of Russia know), they will see it as "Putin and his puppet regimes" and see negatively. Anything that has to do with Russia is toxic now, you need to look for a way to hide or obscure it rather that bring forward.

I am doing a lot of sales in development and i read a convo on one forum where clients gather and the convo went like "...their company is is Croatia but i suspect they are Russians. where do i report?".
For some reason it took me years to understand the need for a line editor. It didn't make any sense in my head. Then one day I saw the famous picture of Bill and Allen as kids in front of a teletype [1] and it finally clicked.

The way it worked was like this: As you keyed in your program, letter by letter, it was printed out on the paper immediately like a typewriter. If you ran the program and there was a problem, you'd just read (or re-read) the printout, find the line with the bug, then use a line editor to fix just that line. You might mark the paper with pencil to keep track of the change. After a while if you needed to see the latest version, you'd just print the whole program out, or just the lines you needed.

This realization finally clued me into what was going on when I was 10yo and programming BASIC on a TRS-80 Color Computer. It was essentially simulating a teletype (which makes sense given BASIC's inception at Dartmouth [2]), where you would type each line individually, then if there was a problem, you would edit the program individual lines at a time. I always thought it was an odd until I understood how actually using a teletype actually worked. Also explains why the command to write letters to the screen is called "PRINT".

>>>As far as military goes, the US armed forces are insanely overpowered. None of that has to do with satellites. There could be a solar flare that knocks out every electronic device and we would still be on top.

In order to be "on top" we have to be able to project power outside of our borders....borders which happen to be REALLY far from any credible challengers. Our overmatch comes from a well-drilled combination of prolific intelligence collections, robust communications, and precise and timely targeting (including having sufficient information to NOT target friendly forces by accident). ALL of those abilities are heavily reliant on satellites.

Accurate imagery of adversary forces staging equipment for attacks? Those pictures come from satellites. Near-instant awareness every time a ballistic missile launches? Those are detected by infrared sensors on satellites ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-Based_Infrared_System ). Global awareness of where friendly troops are, down to the meter? They are taking GPS-based location data for their positions and sharing it via satellites ( https://asc.army.mil/web/portfolio-item/c3t-jbc-p/ ) ( https://www.iridium.com/products/nal-research-shout-nano-per... ). Need to pass orders and tasking messages to subordinates at geographically-distant, austere locations? Yup....satcom ( https://www.globalsecurity.org/space/systems/fleet_ops.htm ) Long-range terrestrial radio, for example HF skywave, is less reliable, has a low data rate, and presents a VERY large target for any adversary competent at electronic warfare .....which is both the Russians and the Chinese).

I'd counter that for a definition of "merit" like "performs the duties of ones job exceptionally well", it's always a fallacy. I note that this definition of "merit" is what nearly all corporations consider when evaluating performance of employees and granting annual "merit increases".

In nearly all cases, merely performing ones work well, will not gain the employee anything but more work. Sometimes there are promotions or meaningful raises, but this is the exception, not the norm. It is not in a businesses interest to pay employees more than absolutely necessary. It's a true-ism in software development that to see meaningful increases in salary one must "job hop". This reality has given rise to aphorisms such as "I pretend to work they pretend to pay me" and Johnsons "Who Moved my Cheese?".

Of course merit can be hard to define, but if it's defined in a way other than performing a job well, well that's something else isn't it?

What does "hx-get" do? Does it replace the HTML from that url? Why is it on a div, does it happen on load or does it wait for an event? It's a study on its own:

https://htmx.org/reference/

Oh, apparently I can put hx-trigger="mouseup mousemove delay:500ms" there to make it explicit. I mean this thing has its own DSL, and IMHO, you are escaping from JS and jumping to another language, which you still have to learn and less people know of.

In alpine, it's explicit. You can say fetch, then replace something in your data, and use that thing in your x-html. You still need to learn some, but in my experience, much less to keep in mind than htmx.

OTOH, Next.js is even easier than Alpine to learn. You just create pages as js files and run the server. Yes, you need to run a BFF (back-end for front-end) but it's just that. The thing even updates in real-time. Only thing that can match this is Phoenix LiveView but I can't speak for it as I've just played with it and nothing more.
