Seems like another instance of a longer historic theme that has been picked up recently by the sea steading libertarian crowd, and now network states.
Imo, the secular and by extension libertarian mentality is just another anti-ethos defined by what it opposes, and then they think if they just criticize harder with more words, this negative thing that defines them will somehow yeild.

Rhetorically, what is the difference between these ideas and ones that have actually created de-facto network states, global networks, and even historically significant civilizations like America? The network states that I know of still exist today are the Catholic Church, the Church of England, Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism, and to a much lesser extent (but as a great example of an intentional network whose principles underpin modern western civilization) Freemasonry, and what they all have in common is they are based on a single very simple idea that scales. They aren't secular, which means they don't have to re-invent the wheel on a principle to underpin their laws and customs.

This isn't advocacy for theism necessarily, but when you look at the gallons of ink spilled on "new" ideas, they're all talking around the elephant in the room and substituting complex exeptions for a central scalable ethos. We (and especially crypto libertarian people) all know that complex rules yield stupid behavior. When I read these discussions of manifestos, what I can't help but conclude is that their secularism is the self-selected and self-sabotaging constraint. With the exception of communism, the world does not tolerate atheistic global powers or networks for very long. There's a kind of alchemy to the new crypto versions of old ideas where they think they can create neutral systems of rules and incentives that resist human corruption and solve the problem of Evil. It's the promise of lead into gold. The approach of the religious ones didn't try solve Evil at all (other than their exemplary failures), but they did provide a path for people to become both good and worthy, and to prevail.

I'd suggest that the people writing these elaborate perscriptions for breakaway societies just try and consider a second experimental draft of them using a theistic (or even deistic) axiom and then compare the results. The secular or atheistic requirement for ideas about new societies is the "the floor is lava" constraint of our time, and it produces just as many silly contortions and self-imposed struggles. If they try it again without pretending the floor is lava, I think they will have more success and provide something more valuable.
Were u able to get some dynamic behaviours ?

e.g.

a count down field which count down seconds to zero

OR

a list display with automatic updates from source
Isn't that kind of the other way around?

Ignoring the obvious moral question, in a primarily agrarian economy slave labor is useful because it's relatively easy to control and there is no need for specialization. OTOH in an industrialized society you wouldn't want slaves even if you could have them.
And the information likely will be wrong.

The only trace left from Google in my life is search. No, DDG is unfortunately nowhere near Google Search.

The day I could replace that too, I'll try my best not to touch a Google product ever again.
> they won’t reference each other directly with references/pointers

I'm not sure if I understood your reply correctly, but there seems to be nothing in Rust stopping one dynamic trait (interface-based) object directly referencing another dynamic trait (interface-based) object. The main difference between C++ O-O and Rust trait-oriented programming is C++ inheritance of implementation vs. Rust inheritance of interfaces. You can also downcast in Rust, if you try hard enough.

GitHub is hella tricky to crawl too due to its sheer size and single entry point (meaning slow crawl speed). I've been looking at the problem as well, and so far just ignored it as un-crawlable, but I might do something like crawl only the about pages for repos that are linked to externally some time in the future.
800, but it only worked if you were at 100% health.
Basically, studying risks associated with alcohol is difficult, and that young people tend drink too much and its bad for them.
Not sure, it could also be viewed as a comparison of ahead-of-time compilation vs. just-in-time compilation (I guess the code paths are hot enough to be completely "jit-ed" here), and then the compiler isnt irrelevant at all.

But havent looked into the details on how much difference that alone makes in this case.

I think its also a testament on how fast JS has gotten.
Changing contact records required confirmation sent to the e-mail address of the owner record. Ultimately, in case of domain theft/dispute or similar, the domain's owner record has highest authority.
Man in Hole. The main character gets into trouble but winds up being better from the experience.

This is kind of like the plot of Cars where Lightening has to fix the road of a small town he wrecks. Car in Hole. I personally think I'm better from the experience because I'll be avoiding watching those movies with my kids in the future...
Actually a Savery engine (the type of engine the OP's post starts off with) doesn't have a piston at all. And the Newcomen atmospheric engine didn't require a very precise fit to function either. It wasn't until Watt started the drive for more efficient engines that accurately boring the cylinder became important.
A rougelike dungeon crawler. It allows me to kick the tires on most new languages that I want to try out. In order to get going with it I need to figure out:

- What can I use to display? Is it a native app interface, TUI, web based display?

- What do the collections look like in the standard lib and what operations can I do on them?

- How good is the multithreading/multiprocessing?

- What paradigm is the language in? (OOP, FP, procedureal, etc)

- What developer tooling exists for the language? Is there an LSP available if I want to use emacs/vim/vscode? Is there a plugin for IntelliJ? What's the debugger situation look like, or am I going to have to use print debugging?

- How does project/package management work with the language?

- What is the echo system like for the language

All of that is in service to building out the first bits of the game.

(also I am a backend dev)

A large part invoves the transition between a simulation world, in which the properties of objects is known for certain (size, location, properties like colour) to a world where these properties have to be ascertained from computer vision.

Relative size, position, etc can be tricky to determine as they aren't just classification problems but require segmentation and spatial reasoning. Especially taking into account any difference in perspective between the user and the robot, as well as context (what does "above" mean on a map vs in a tower of blocks, or what does "left" mean if you are facing me)

I'm not saying it will fully replace google, but I find startpage.com to be much better than DDG, and I am leaning back on google search less and less
Honestly, you're right to feel that way. I am planning to switch back to Android when this phone dies. Firefox is a major component of that, but iOS feels miles behind Android in many other aspects as well. I switched because of Apple's privacy stance (if you're making Facebook throw a temper tantrum, you're doing something right) and the fact that they are the only manufacturer to make a phone that fits in the human hand. But iOS is really not a great experience overall.
you know that there are quite a few of us that don't like the imperial boot on our face, and will always oppose it?

The article claims that this was the second trial, not his third. He was convicted on some counts in his first trial, but the jury was hung on the Espionage Act charges:

How do you access Facebook event calendar from Node-RED (or anywhere else)?
Not easily, unfortunately. The extension relies on Safari's built-in permissions model, for technical reasons. It's possible to whitelist domains permanently, but not temporarily. https://underpassapp.com/StopTheScript/advanced.html
I prefer these storage bins made by Stanley. They are fairly inexpensive and the small bins are removable so that you can easily grab the whole bin of screws or whatever. This also makes them easy to re-arrange your small parts. If you look around you can find them in two sizes — a thick and thin version.

We’re talking about gaming here and the fact someone said “fucking idiot.” You’ve just used asshole is your response, so collectively we should get off our high horses, and recognize that in the real world people swear constantly. It’s not even like this was laser focused at one specific person, in my opinion this title is more evil and misleading than what he said.

Wow! awesome news, I just bought a feather with esp32 to start playing with rust, and I'm considering taking the course from ferreous-system. Nice to see the progress by the community and how nice it looks developing for these devices. I remember having to do the same with C when I was studying in the university and it was a whole different story.
I reject the idea that patent and IP law would have made these developments occur sooner. In fact, I blame the slow down in technological development partly on patent and IP law. You think the rapid development seen during the industrial revolution could have happened if people were at litigious as they are now? The ability to create derivative inventions is essential to progress.
Glad to see de-googling picking up steam. Personally, I created a Google Keep clone PWA[1] to address what I was missing after cutting the google tumor out of my life. I hope to see more and more passion projects which respect privacy and are of equal utility to what google provides.

I went with a pretty straightforward approach at the time. I mostly de-Googled myself 3-4 years ago.

I use Fastmail for email and calendar, DuckDuckGo & StartPage for searching, Firefox as a web browser, and a Synology NAS for storage over Google Drive.

I use Google Drive / Docs / Sheets occasionally for collaborating. Most people aren't de-Googled so it's more of a hassle to ask them to use a different service. Additionally, I don't use Google services for anything particularly important so I don't mind if Google knows about it.

Fastmail isn't the most private service out there, but it is an amazing service to use for email, calendar, contacts, file storage, and notes. It works with 1Password with masked emails [0].

You can also use sieve [1] to fine tune your filter rules. I'm not aware of other email services that provide this (unless of course you are hosting your own).

I've played with it a bit. You don't really need to do it because the interface they have can generate sieve code for you, but it's nice that it is an option.

That’s exactly what happened.

But since Apple attempted to fraudulently overcharge me twice I suppose the card issuer defaulted to “card compromised”.
I've looked into this, and found wikipedia's links not to be super useful. Wikipedia prefers references that don't change, so books primarily, and beyond that websites that don't change, so academic journals where you're getting paywalled, and WaybackMachine archives of websites (even if they are still live). You aren't getting much use out of wikipedia.

I wouldn't go that far, but I understand where this comes from. To some level and in some ways, I can confidently say I understand where I live (Tallinn, Estonia) more than most of my friends.

I moved here almost 6 years ago and I have been enthusiastically trying to follow and attend events, follow news, travel inside the country, discover new restaurants/bars/museums/activities as much as I can. As a result, many of my local friends have told me that they have never been to a city or venue that I mentioned.

OTOH, as most my friends are between 20-40 years old, they have that much experience inthis country and there are many things they know that I don't: like deep command of language, local history/experience (especially in soviet-post soviet era) books/literature, nature, handicraft, songs, etc.

Oh wait ...
The difference in performance is about 3x and it looks like an pretty ideal case for wasm. Seems to match observations from Zaplip portmortem:

> Rust is faster than JS in some cases, but those cases are rarer than we expected, and the performance gain is on the order of 2x some of the time, not 10x most of the time.

I tend to write lots of tests at each level -- lexer, parser, AST, etc. -- to cover the different BNF grammar statements. I've done this with an XQuery and XPath parser I wrote for IntelliJ.

You can cover the different lexical variations in the lexical tests, and ensure that the lexer is reporting the correct things in the lexer tests. For these, I generally ensure I cover each token in a given BNF grammar statement, even if that means repeating checks for a given keyword, as it keeps the tests self-contained and easier to verify.

You can cover the different parser/grammar variations (different branches/paths in the BNF, missing tokens for error reporting and recovery, etc.) in the parser tests. These can make use of serializing the tree to a file, so your input is an example program and the output is the parsed AST tree.

The AST tests can then test the actual data model your AST provides, such as access to the value of a literal, or information about a type.

Higher-level tests such as constant folding can then be done using the AST API, or things like serializing the AST to a textual representation.

Probably not, but nobody is sure.

Probably yes, but nobody is sure.

That's difficult. I'll skip it.

I guess yes. When you have a lot of entities you need some organization. Let's call it government.

Nobody is sure, but the current guess based in STEM is that bacteria-like life is very common. Nobody is sure, but perhaps there is another bacteria-like fife in the Solar system that evolved independently. It's far from sure, but it looks possible.

From bacteria-like to human-like there are a few important and difficult steps. Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_life Photosynthesis? Mitochondria/Eukaryotes-like?, Multicelular?[1], Advanced animals-like[2]? Intelligence? No one is even sure about which are the difficult steps.

So the current guess is that other civilizations are very far away. Communication is difficult and traveling here in a UFO is almost impossible.

Thanks for your answer.

>You have to use a different set of operators to get modular arithmetic semantics. So, the choice is not a flag you flip at build time, but a choice of operators.

Like Zig I think.

As for 'panic at overflow' I think that Erlang/Elixir is the same so there are probably a lot of 'design patterns'/libraries to get inspiration from there.

One note, your language allow usage of 'named parameters' as in "return File(handle => ptr);" so this means that the name of the parameter is part of the API and must be chosen carefully.. ptr isn't a very good name, handle would be a better name, but then of course you have "return File(handle => handle);" which is a classic problem of named parameters..
I agree, I was early in the 1729 community and there were a lot of interesting discussions but it got so muddled by Balaji with both crypto and hatred towards a biased media that I think the idea of network states sort of folded in on itself. Why on earth do you need an on-chain census to try to become a nation state verified by the U.N.? Really, I think this is a perfect example of what happens with a pretty genius mind that gets stuck in an area of expertise and tries to shoehorn everything into that frame of mind.

Just to add to your books, Diamond Age by Stephenson was also good although nation states weren't the main topic but Malka Older's Infomocracy series which talks a lot about microstates and a body like the UN that controls the world's information was a phenomenal read (and pretty quick).

Overall, the book was a major disappointment, same with the community and his investment in Praxis-- the book could have been Sovereign Individual 2.0 with the right editor and more thought into the structure but ended up being a long-form rambling essay with the same examples (keto community!) re-used again and again
Yeah, I avoid magnetic solutions to holding tools. I hate magnetic tools.
There’s a lot here that’s entirely unnecessary but I’ve wondered recently if a “network state”-like thing devoted to certain public services might be beneficial. In particular, a large enough group could likely negotiate better rates for health insurance than an individual in the same way a large employer does, and could provide a stronger social safety net (maybe even potentially a UBI?) in the same way some governments do. Doing so would require e.g. countering benefit tourism (you couldn’t have someone join when they’re laid off just for some benefits and leave immediately after they find a new one, you’d never be able to keep it funded that way), but I think that’s surmountable.

In other words, if we don’t believe the government we have right now is likely to provide many essential services, even if we ultimately believe it should, is it possible to organize privately for the same benefits? I think it might be.
I'm not sure what you're implying here.

First, are you equating "tech tree development" with pure engineering? Because that sounds like a reductionist view on history given that human advancement in thinking stretches far beyond technical / practical innovations. And that surely arbitrarly didn't stop between 500-1500AD just because the Roman Empire dissolved either.

Second, taking a eurocentristic perspective is a fallacy when it comes to history. Other parts of the world saw plenty of advances in mathematics, astronomy, navigation, trading, finance, public administration, medicine, literacy and so on. Just consider the many advances in the Islamic world or the Mongol empire. Ghengis Khan wasn't just a warlord, he was also a surprisingly progressive statesman introducing notions such as "freedom of religion" throughout his empire. The Silk Road wasn't just the odd caravan passing through the desert. It was as an intricate trading network connecting cultures and continents. Arguably, many of the ideas that was spawn the age of Enlightenment in Europe can be traced back as imported from outside.

Third, The so-called "Dark Ages" are a contested concept in modern historiography. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ages_(historiography) It's, at best, a form of value attribution. And modern historians are quite reluctant to label the period between 500-1800 as "stagnant". On the contrary.

Fourth, neither religious zealotry nor progressive thinking are absolutes. Sure, the world wasn't an utopia in the past. History is rife with examples of barbarism and persecution. But let's not pretend that the Industrial Revolution somehow did away with all that. In fact, while the world entered the so-called Information Age over the past 40 years, it also saw subsequent wars spurred by religion in the Middle East, Balkans, Africa and South-East Asia.
I had the realization last week that the intern sitting next to me is young enough to be my son in a non scandalous manner, I am definitely in the the second half and there definitely was no transition period.
I don't mind the number of dependencies, but I agree that the cutesy naming is ridiculous and obfuscating
Name one technology or scientific discovery that was squelched by religious zealotry in that time period. And, no, heliocentrism doesn't count.
Looks like that whitelist is also only per top-level domain. E.g. it will allow all on Youtube.com or allow none, instead of allowing to block per script origin domain.

The point of the website is that everyone has seen it before.

So describing it is a waste of time. Plus, we all know of the pathetic excuses for doing stuff like this, so no need to list that out either.

Your post is considered autistic because of all this unnecessary explanation.
A fun quirk of history, embedded in the English language, is the fact that "cleric" (meaning "a member of the clergy") has the same Latin root as "clerk" (meaning a worker who is trained and literate). Of course they both have the same adjectival form: clerical.
This is a losers life strategy: do anything anybody tells you to unless you can mount a vigorous rhetorical explanation for "why not". Generally speaking you should be talked into things and have a good sense for when to proceed with caution. New pharmaceuticals aren't the same thing as pickin up nickels on the sidewalk.
It isn't. For research faculty the most critical thing is having a large number of well received papers in top venues where you were a major author. This can be achieved in industry but it isn't a default.
