> It easily captures compelling parents for organ donation using the same voluntary sex mechanism we're examining for forced births. Should parents be compelled to donate their organs to their children when not doing so would result in the recipient's death?

If you're really deeply committed to this analogy, we would have to suppose a world in which everyone knows that voluntary sex produces children with an organ deficiency which can only be satisfied by a donation from one parent.

> At this point we've added mode of consequence to the analogy, but it seems you're introducing yet another constraint: active and passive intervention. I'm afraid I'll have to stop this here. It appears as though you will continue adding complexity until with the intention of forcing your result. Sorry, I don't debate with people acting in bad faith.

Pointing out that your analogy fails to capture the relevant dynamics isn't "acting in bad faith".

EDIT: Removed some snark.
There is not yet an open feature as you suggested but I feel like this could be nice. Not only for journaling but also for todo lists or similar, just starting every day with a blank sheet.

I saw that “1 Day” as suggested in another comment seems to be basically that.

I’ll play around with it later.
I've been in a similar situation but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Giving yourself time to feel shitty about a shitty situation is pretty normal, but if you like doing good work then your interest in the work will be motivating when you dig back into it.

Lots of new areas and ideas floating around right now, and it'd be worth looking around before setting your sights on an old career trajectory.

I'm not surprised. I was a double EE/CS major as an undergrad, and earned an MSEE. My career has been mostly software, though, and the economics of what EE vs. SWE get paid makes it very unlikely that I'd ever move back since it would mean (at best) making < 50% of my current compensation.

I started my substack in Sept 2021 and I did it mostly for myself - to have a reason to follow latest news and trends in fintech x crypto space and write about them* - this intersection interests me the most.

I’m publishing it regularly, although not on a weekly cadence anymore.

It was totally worth it - I got several amazing contacts out of it and one job offer. Plus I’m learning a lot.

Ignore the clone part though. That's just how I'm extending the time frame. The same problem exists with a "transporter". The instance coming out the other side appears to be identical, but there's no way to know if that instance is actually a continuation or yourself. Is it the same consciousness/self? Is that even possible to know?
But why do you say that? Kindle unlimited is a pretty similar to a library and many publishers support it and include their books. Yes, it costs something per month, but it's much less than the overhead costs for librarians, heat and a building. Many municipalities could actually save money by closing their libraries and giving everyone with an active library card a subscription to Kindle unlimited.

I'm not suggesting they do that. I like the old buildings. But it's important to note that copyright holders are coming up with many new and innovative ways to help readers get books and authors get paid.
CA's system has issues because it is a 100% captured monopoly and have utterly refused to fix problems that were identified by Enron in the 90s.

Meanwhile, 48 more states in the union have a variety of significantly more or less regulated energy sectors than either Texas or California and how many of them have rolling blackouts every year?

I don't know why people keep pretending Texas's and California's problems are anything more than the stupidity, or willfull negligence of their respective governments.

The details of how computers talk to each other is, or really should be, largely irrelevant. It's silly busywork all the little micromanagement of interfaces and data structures.

It's plumbing.

Some time in the future there will be another level of the software revolution in which alot of those details can be left to the computers themselves to work out.
Honestly, I was not a huge fan of 90s Microsoft, and I certainly never used this thing, but I really miss this kind of fun and whimsy and the bicycle-for-the-mind (even if you're only going to ride in circles in front of your house) quality of 80s-90s personal computing and desktop applications.
> Some people I talked to seemed to think this is a small hill to die on

This phrase always rubs me the wrong way, this thinking is how our freedoms slowly slip away.

I've been told the same about the TSA, people checking receipts, avoiding most social media, etc etc. It's maddening that so many people are blah about things that they probably shouldn't be, and then further try make others feel bad for standing up for what's right.

In short, no you aren't weird - everyone else is. Doing what you believe in is noble. But that's coming from another weirdo :).
This is a result of our modern attitudes toward marriage and child rearing.

Back in "the day" couples weren't expected to become practically one person. It was expected that the commitments required of marriage and raising kids could take a back seat a couple times a week for men to hang out with their friends. So when one person got married or had a kid they would still show up on the regular and the friendships and friend groups would survive because that wouldn't interrupt the friendship.

There are no more hours available in the day or week than there were back then so when we prioritize something we inherently de-prioritize other things.

I lived in Loma Linda for a few years (in Southern California, 60 miles east of LA), which is one of the blue zones

It is predominantly a 7th day Adventist community. Notably they prioritize healthy lifestyle and typically are vegetarian as well as avoiding alcohol, caffeine, etc.

There is also a big medical school and hospital complex in the city and many people that live there work in the healthcare field.

There are of course plenty of other explanations.
Yeah, if you're cooking tonight something with critical ingredients I might not rely on the pickup for that, but they email me what is out so I'm not caught unaware. It's basically just like if I went to the store to get organic chickpeas and they didn't have them, except I know that _without going to the store_. Plus I just got two weeks of groceries so it's all good.

>in a discussion about people's rights to health care being revoked by an unelected minority.

I don't know, this seems like a "live by the sword, die by the sword" situation to me. Either you recognize the authority of the "unelected minority", or you don't. You can't support their legitimacy when it suits you, and oppose their legitimacy when it doesn't.
This should not be a radical position. In fact it is the only moral position. This probably sounds strange, but it comes down to who is getting late term abortions. The people who need these abortions are the ones who have discovered later in the pregnancy that their child has some sort of medical issue so severe that it appears in a sonogram. It might be possible to deliver the child, but that child would suffer from poor quality of life and/or a short lifespan. These are not the people who had an "oops the condom broke" moment, they have a serious moral obligation to avoid personal tragedy, and we are writing laws demanding that no, that child with only one lung and no face must be carried to term and cared for until they die a few weeks later of complications from the constant extreme pain they are in after saddling the parents and their family with enormous unnecessary medical bills.

You might be thinking "but this is one of those emergencies that has an exception right?" But that's not how the bans work. Even when the law allows for emergency procedures there are no doctors in the state qualified to perform them, nor any hospitals or clinics that will allow it due to the legal liabilities. Even with a fully justifiable reason the parents are forced to travel hundreds or thousands of miles on their own dime to get the necessary procedure. Even if the mother's health is on the line and she's not fit to travel you still need to get her across state lines, and if you are in the midwest or the bible belt she may just have to die, just to satisfy an overly simplistic "moral" position.

If your moral position requires you to torture newborns until they die you need to re-evaluate it.
They are all very practical, just not often needed.
Mechanical engineers are similarly low-paid.

Some time back I hired a few MechE's (with advanced degrees) to write simulation code for a startup. I paid them what I thought was fair for a Bay Area coding role, which turned out to be a significant amount more than the same job would have paid if they had a different title (they would have been doing substantially the same work at Honda/John Deere/Ford/Boeing/Lockheed/etc.).

Strange.
What about what libraries do in general. By buying some number of copies and then letting many people read those copies, it leads to fewer people buying books overall leading to less pay, meaning those who depend upon income from writing books to be less able to afford continuing to write books.

And any arguments along the lines that libraries actually lead to increased numbers of readers and thus overall increase book sales could also apply to this instance as well (I've even seen such arguments made about piracy in general, though I've never seen any conclusive research indicating if the argument is realistic or not).
Surface mount isn't that big of a deal. A cheap hot air gun, a soldering iron, flux, and some solder paste are all you need to work with most BGAs, QFN, and other modern packages. PCB prototype manufacturing has never been cheaper thanks to companies like JLCPCB. With all the fantastic learning material on YouTube, open source tools like KiCad, and inexpensive chinese test equipment, the kids these days can do WAY more than I could dream of back in the 90s.
Our Federal system (each state having some autonomy) started because charters were given to English nobility to establish colonies. By the time of the revolutionary war the states needed a central authority to unify them, but also ensure that they couldn't impose punitive taxes on one another and gain too much power.

After the Civil War, the role of the states was severely limited. But the famous cry of "states rights" rang out any time groups wanted to defend regressive legislature. There is a reason why the Republican party, who cling to power through anti-democratic means, constantly bitch and moan about states rights.

In 2022 does it make sense that a state like Georgia, should be able to set the rules of a Federal election? Given the history of our country where states ONLY exist because of colonial charters? There is nothing inherently unique about states other than some Englishman 400 years ago was given lease to them.

States Rights has always been an anti-democratic rallying cry, and the main mechanism that the Republican party uses to stay in control is by limiting who can vote. The outcome will be large-scale disenfranchisement of poor people and African-Americans in southern states.

After responding to a lot of your comments it seems like you don't have a great grasp of US history. A lot of it seems sanitized/centered on Civics but without an actual understanding of why the system is set up the way it is and how the power dynamics have played out under that system. I would encourage you to read about the history of the Southern US starting from the earliest days of Virginian and Carolinian tobacco plantations. If you want to understand why a lot of your arguments serve only to embolden anti-democratic reactionaries, and have been for the last 200+ years.

Sometimes I feel people are using Python very differently than me. I just use pip freeze and virtualenv (these are Python basics, not some exotic tools) and I feel it works great.

Granted, you don't get a nice executable, but it's still miles ahead of C++ (people literally put their code into header files so you don't have to link to a library), and even modern languages like rust (stuff is always broken, or I have some incompatible version, even when it builds it doesn't work)

By the way if you're a Python user, Nim is worth checking out. It's compiled, fast and very low fuss kind of language that looks a lot like Python.
so.. how cold does it have to get to get the glaciers back? Does anyone do climate simulations of what would happen if the earth cooled 4 degrees C?
I think you'll find that this position is actually less common among pro-life people than the one I am describing. Exceptions for rape are rarely accepted by those who want to ban abortion entirely. Even less so among those who also oppose classes of contraceptives that immediately kill fertilized eggs, such as the Catholic Church.

Exceptions for rape are much more common among those who also accept at-will termination of pregnancy up to some gestational age (e.g. at-will abortion up to 12 weeks, or up to 20 weeks in cases of rape).

Edit to add: the vast majority of active pro-life campaigners are also opposed to sex education and free contraceptives, once more proving that the question of consensual unprotected sex is not in any way at the forefront of their ideology.

Is Go really killing C# though?

Maybe once they add proper exceptions...

I used to work for a manufacturing company that started out as a married couple making Christmas ornaments with a $2000 laser cutter/engraver.

Screen printing is a pretty easy business to do out of a garage - you can either print and sell your own designs or print for others. Unless there are already a lot of screen printers in your area odds are there are businesses and organizations that would love to make some cheap swag with their logos. I haven't checked but I have to imagine there's a "xometry for screen printing" service out there that you could probably get semi-consistent work from.

Honestly though, so long as you don't need to quit your day job today, you can probably find some good deals on some used cnc equipment that will let you make anything while staying in your current price range. The difficulty is not in determining what's possible but rather what's profitable. Most garage manufacturing companies tend to make some incredibly niche thing like a bracket that allows you to stick a camera on a particular item used for a particular hobby; stuff that anyone could make but no big companies care enough to develop. Most of the time these are tinkerers who make lots of little widgets to solve their own problems and one of them eventually takes off.

If your goal is just to make money, I would suggest selling products that can be made by some service like xometry until you stumble across something that's popular, then you can bring manufacturing in house to increase your margins.
I have. All of the plain text accounting packages are optimizing to solve the exact wrong problem. The reality is that even if you are using a commercial package, it's generally not hard to get a CSV (or something like it) OUT of the software. What you actually need for a sufficiently complex financial life is input validation, and that's exactly the problem that plain text accounting software punts on.

Gnucash has a lot of cruft and definitely feels like it was written in 2003, but it does address this issue and provides the basic input validation you need to minimize errors.

The other issue with plain text accounting software is most of it only flags errors after you 'compile' your books (or, more properly, run them through some sort of command-line tool), which is far too late to make data entry convenient. (Some of them have web-based tools, like beancounts "fava" package, that act more like Gnucash...but at that point the term "plain text accounting" loses all meaning IMO, you're just using another client, so why not use a better one?
> The client program needs to have an understanding of withdrawl and deposit in order to function. The only way to do that involves coupling the client to the server.

The whole premise of RESTful hyper-media driven APIs described in this article is predicated on "The One" client talking to the server. Our modern world is not this.
This is great. But it isn't nearly enough to offset the amount of forest burning due to climate change right now. In just one area, Siberia in 2022 there have been 100,000 hectares of forests destroyed by wildfires.

This article says that in all of Iceland there are now 45,000 hectares of forest. So there is 225% more land burning in Siberia this year alone compared to all the forest planted in Iceland.
Living in a hilly area makes this even more annoying. The wind chill from coasting downhill for 5 minutes at the start of a ride can be awful when your clothing is otherwise suitable.

The thing the publishers fear is that there is one and only one sale of the book to someone who then turns around and makes infinite digital copies to anyone who wants to read it.

This just doesn't work, even if there's a rich person who is willing to pay quite a bit for the first copy. The rest of the people get excluded from the decision making and the rich person is the only one who decides which books are worthy of being rewarded.
No one is advocating for killing infants. The whole “after birth abortion” thing comes from a philosophy paper written by two British authors in the Journal of Medical Ethics wheee they argued that what they termed “after birth abortions” in certain circumstances could be logically consistent under some ethical frameworks. There was public outcry from pro-choice activists against their argument, and they later published a letter clarifying that they were opposed to any actual policies legalizing infanticide. This all happened in 2011-2012.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/after-birth-abortion/

Anti-abortion advocated have claimed that people support killing children as old as 5, but no one who actually holds this view has been identified. Additionally, some people said they were in favor of “fourth trimester abortions” on a survey, but that question was obviously rather misleading. The respondents probably didn’t that pregnancy ends after 3 trimesters.

The history of software licensing is sort of interesting. I had occasion to dive into it a year or so ago for a book and it seems to have been institutionalized with the IBM/360 because 1.) IBM was feeling pressure to sell software independent of hardware for antitrust reasons and 2.) All of the existing IP protection mechanisms seemed pretty iffy at the time.

IMO, the rights of the child only exist after it is not wholly dependent on the mother's life to exist (ie. an actual child, not a fetus.) Which means that a dead fetus has no rights, and a fetus that would kill the mother isn't even a person, much less a person with the right to kill the pregnant person.
