Nice you reveal your bias.

Measurable radioactive dose is easy to measure, so of course it is what you would like us to pay attention to. But radionuclides invading tissue is what causes cancers. Those risks are harder to measure. Which radionuclides? What grain size? A nanogram of the wrong stuff in the wrong place is all it takes.
That's true, if they wanted to keep the look of the design, they should have used something like CSS or SVG with searchable text rather than a raw image.
Some thoughts:

> My idea is basically to build something which strengthens the friendship of friends.

People bond most strongly over shared experience[1][2]. There is a lot of research on this. The appeal of games like World of Warcraft stems in part from a social experience (questing, dungeons) with friends as a shared experience.

Look to any of the many real life team building or friendship building programs in the world and imagine ways you might be able to re-create that.

From a gaming perspective WoW and Minecraft and online bridge games are all good social activities (death match games not so much). Getting together in real life is best of course for building relationships but that isn't available to everyone. In the US, Christian Churches of various flavors (and other churches as well might do this, I don't know) provide group activities where people work together to achieve a goal (build houses, clean the streets, feed the homeless, Etc.) which builds relationships at the same time it does something positive for the community.

[2] "It has been proposed that singing evolved to facilitate social cohesion. However, it remains unclear whether bonding arises out of properties intrinsic to singing or whether any social engagement can have a similar effect." -- https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsos.150...

[3] "Teenagers have a particular need to be accepted, to belong to a peer group, to have their own crew, and to explore the world together with friends and have fun. Yet many of them feel isolated and lonely and find an illusion of consolation in virtual social networks, which can never replace the joys of real interaction." -- https://nobelcoaching.com/team-building-teens/
+1 for carbon steel! We switched our teflon pans to carbon steel about 5 years ago. Mostly because I was tired of replacing scratched Teflon every so many years (cost and waste) on top of the health implications. We own cast iron too, but the carbon steel and stainless steel pans do the bulk of our cooking just because they're lighter.

It's one of my fav kitchen purchases. The only annoyance was getting the beeswax off the pans on the first day.
You're right. Twitter can do what it wants. However if there's a government agent attempting to tell Twitter how to control speech then that government agent needs to be censured and any administration involvement ended.
They’re a police force. The FBI enforce laws, not write them. This is a potentially interesting story though, but not because of some kind of revolving door between the pencil-pushing swamp creatures and the fog breathing code monkeys.
I'm just waiting for them to ban breathing itself.
Twitter (and all large websites with user contributions) have users who abuse their services, and they hire people who work to mitigate or otherwise address those issues.

Some issues may have legal concerns and necessitate cooperation with authorities, some do not. It depends on the nature of the issue.
If you dont need the output of the first query you'll almost always have the best performance in sql using exists syntax eg

select *
from query1 as q
where exists
(
select *
from query2 as q2
where q.col = q2.col
)
Most people's morals can be bought, it's just a matter of cost. Increasing salaries for government employees increases the barrier to entry for corruption.

Whether or not a typical state can actually afford it is a completely different issue altogether.
In your original comment, you're explicitly lying about the Suckless team in a manner that is libelous and defamatory. I think you ought to reconsider doubling down. Furthermore, "Cultural Marxism" has been a political term of art on the mainstream American right for decades. Glenn Beck (remember him? I do my best to forget) was using it on TV over a decade ago.

Everyone you disagree with on the Internet is not, in fact, necessarily a Nazi.
Re: pirate parties, there actually was such controversy surrounding the more prominent instances just as they acquired public attention in their respective countries. For example, AFAIU, the current gender-politics situation arrived in Germany slightly earlier than it did the US. And so in 2009-2010, there was much media scrutiny of the low female membership of the German pirate party.

Proposals for changing this resulted in lots of internal drama, culminating with a notorious debate over how a women-only mailing list was in opposition to the party's principles. Similar things happened with the Swedish party. There's hardly anything in English of this; you'll have to use your Google(-translate)-fu for more info: https://www.google.de/search?q=+piratinnen+piratenpartei+fem...

However, I don't think this was the (sole) cause of the parties' decline. The German party had increasing vote shares until 2013, around when internal conflict over members' stances on issues other than copyright, made evident by the parties' commitment to transparency, started being widely publicized, proving (to the public, at least) that its approach to direct democracy could not scale.

HN has surprisingly little discussion of the pirate parties' decline - really only one, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9231584

Aside: I have discovered the German version of ESR, who fulminates over his theory that the attacks on pirate politics and open source from gender studies perspectives are in collusion with American economic interests: https://www.danisch.de/blog/2015/11/04/feminismus-als-waffe-...

If you think that function name length doesn't matter you haven't written enough ObjC yet. It matters. Source code shouldn't read like Tolstoy.

ObjC itself is not responsible, it's NeXT and Apple's fault for perpetuating that abominable naming convention for much too long.

As for localisation, only a tiny fraction of strings in a software program are user visible. I don't think we should be designing language syntax around that edge case.
This looks like a right wing disinformation site. The implication is that Twitter (in readers' minds the incarnation of oppressive liberal media) is somehow colluding with FBI deep state chimera to stifle freedom of speech. This is what conservatives in America resort to: allying themselves with white supremacists doesn't help them win elections, so when they lose, it's always supposedly the fault of fraud, federal government rigging the scales, and coastal elites. Aside from the fact that FBI does not regulate media (nor anyone in the US either TBH) I'm quite sure that on balance, there are more FBI agents going to traditionally right wing businesses with lots of political influence as well (energy, military contractors, etc.). In insurgency terms, this is textbook sapping of institutions, and honestly I say f these f'ers.

My only hesitation for a drive is that you might get too comfortable. It is like a loving mother reading to you while you're comfy in bed. She does different voices for the main characters, so she has her scarecrow voice and her Wicked Witch of the West voice. It is super underrated as I have never really heard anyone talk about it.

Well clearly the directors of the fbi have nothing to gain by solving these problems at the federal level where they're not paid as well. Rather they have every incentive for the crimes to continue while they leverage their newfound expertise to get a more lucrative private sector engagement.

It's not difficult to understand when the incentives are made clear. Yes this is extremely clear.
Sadly, most a acceptable large consumer open source software related to a domain vertical has been basically the result of a commercial closed source company open sourcing effort before going under. Like open/libre office, blender, among others that escape me now.

The problem with Open source is that although developers are willing to share their time and skills for free, most other professionals just won't do it.
Judging by the lack of comments, I'm guessing that lots of people find this cool, but no one can figure it out from a 2-minute read. I know I'm in that camp - granted it is a Friday night in the US, and I'm not in front of my Emacs
Thanks for the explanation. I see a connection, but it seems a few steps removed conceptually and many steps removed causally. Anyhow, I don't want to argue which concepts are more closely connected. Brains work differently (*), and I'm glad you readily see this connection even if I don't.

Please allow me to offer these questions, since they better represent where my brain is at the moment... What does it mean if a person cannot buy and outright own the tools needed for their work? Is this necessarily bad? Does it tend to be bad? Does it depend on other things?

Your thoughts? (Can you slow down a little? It seems like you jumped to dystopian scenarios quite quickly.)

* Sorry, it is a vague statement, something that seems to be taken for granted. But this makes me wonder if neuroscientists have made efforts to compare how different brains do conceptual reasoning. Can concepts be visualized in an fMRI? How? Are they represented in ways that have commonalities across people? Cultures?

Mine is one of thousands. I am sure they are already in a quandary of how to deal with the fediverse. They have to work much harder there.
I'd rather see firms chuck some money to perhaps Blender or something to get a viable alternative developed than send angry letters to the featureless monolith that is Autodesk. They're the market leader. They don't care. They already have firms by the metaphorical balls with astronomical licensing fees and know people will pay because they set the standards across many industries.

In architecture, anyway, the problem seems to be that generally BIM programs just suck. Nobody I know likes Revit, although they admit it's powerful, and a lot of firms think Archicad isn't industry ready.

I've used Archicad myself, at least, and it's very painful. The workflow flows poorly, and there's not much consideration for what people are going to be doing a lot of, so you're constantly wrestling with it to get the function you want. It's got a lot of good and interesting ideas in it, but sadly they're just hampered by feeling bolted on and not well integrated.

How long is your trip? George Guidall reading Don Quixote is good. Also there's this book called Death in Yellowstone, which is just hours of short descriptions of people who have died in various ways in Yellowstone. Something like that can be good if you're talking or concentrating on the road and can't follow a detailed plot.
Ah yes - Maintenance and support for that "cloud only" feature that just 1 month ago ran just fine on your own hardware, requiring no maintenance and support at all...

And look - I'm not even completely disagreeing with you (I'm certainly not downvoting folks in this thread). Particularly -

>And let's not forget that some founders do have goals other than pure profit maximization

This I agree with whole-heartedly. I strongly believe that founder personality has a large influence on companies, but my complaint is that eventually the founder dies or retires, or is ousted. But the company just keeps chugging along, and (particularly for public companies, although this still applies to private companies) the goal of the company changes from "vision of the founder" to "pay the shareholders". And if we're focused on paying shareholders... it's really, really hard to turn down "we make a widget that costs zero per unit, and we rent it for $x, and legally - no one else is allowed to make that widget".

It's just about as profitable as you can possibly be - and that profit enables you to do all sorts of things that are not "improve the company product" to keep that revenue stream. Things like "hire all the engineers who might compete with you" or "Buy all the politicians that might regulate you" or "acquire all the competition that might disrupt you" or "suppress all the uprisings that put your monopoly at risk" or "murder lawyers and journalists in other countries who might expose you". And it works - because they're capturing huge amounts of value in the form of the labor their consumers are forced to expend in renting their product, which they produce for nothing.

Worse - I also agree that companies have differing goals - but they are competing, and you can't really compete with an entrenched monopoly that is legally allowed to produce widgets that cost nothing, but is legally allowed to prevent other folks from producing those same widgets for nothing (copyright/trademark/IP). From the outside it might look like this competition is happening, but by far and large, the larger companies are just buying the smaller competitor.

Even tiktok - it's getting so much flak in the media right now because our tech giants can't buy it (and it deserves it - but so do Google/Apple/Meta, they're all peddling ads and addiction - selling you as fast as they can).

So while companies might start out with different goals - our current system works very hard to force them into becoming profit centers for their owners - who will be the folks who buy them and force the founder out.
I'm not sure why this was posted. It's aged terribly and I think we can all agree that sidestepping constructors for init functions is basically C++ without the ++. Not sure how that's any different from writing in C.
It is possible. But there are respectable websites with cracked software which generally does not allow for malware. If you would be a little bit picky and careful, the chances are not that high.
It seems the amount of code you need to write to get overly-specific common things done is extremely small compared to Swift, Obj-C, Rust, Java, Go, or Python.
The way that big FOSS apps succeed is either by...

1. Catering to the needs of developers, such that the user community is also the development community.

2. Bootstrapping off of hobbyist users and crowdfunding to keep developers on board.

The second option is how Blender happened. It started out as an in-house tool at NeoGeo[0], then got sold as a proprietary shareware app by NaN Software, which went bankrupt. The fact that it was shareware meant they had a large hobbyist fanbase - it was very cheap compared to professional tools. So people were willing to crowdfund it; they were able to buy the software copyright off of NaN's creditors; and that enthusiasm continued for multiple decades until it became the massive behemoth that it is today.

For us to get a FOSS CAD app we need hobbyist buy-in. That's arguably a far smaller audience than hobbyist CG artists. And even then we have to compete with the free tiers on modern subscription apps. Blender's only competition back in the day was pirating Maya; but FreeCAD and friends have to compete with the cut-down hobbyist license on Fusion 360.

Same experience in the Bay Area. Older houses have terrible insulation, so indoor temps are lower than further north where good insulation and ample heating exists.
We have a GE electric glass top stove which works fine with our stainless steel, carbon steel, and cast iron cookware. My only complaint is I prefer the control and instant heat of a flame over an electrical burner. Electric is slower to heat up, and retains its heat after its off compared to a flame. But I adjusted and got used to it.
MSG is ionically bonded between the sodium and the glutamate ion. As soon as it's dissolved in water you no longer have MSG, you have a solution of sodium and glutamate ions. Chicken broth is also a solution high in sodium and glutamate ions. As far as the notion that even dissolved "in liquid form" it's abrasive, there's zero chance that that's true. It's an ionic compound, when it's dissolved in water, it's individual molecules floating around. Those glutamate ions also don't even really float around on their own either, water molecules are attracted to them and sort of ball up around them which is why reverse osmosis membranes can filter out sodium ions even though the pore size is much larger than the size of a sodium atom.

If you witnessed some MSG and some water causing a small scratch on some metal then either whatever you were using to rub it against the metal caused the scratch or it was something insoluble other than MSG that did it. Maybe silica was added as an anti-caking agent (which is completely safe, a tiny bit of sand dust is not going to hurt you if you aren't inhaling a bunch) and the particle size was coarse enough to leave a visible scratch, either way it's not possible for dissolved MSG to be abrasive.

But you don't have to take my word on the subject, here's a study on the subject. "

Ideally you want something that uses the host’s UI conventions, works correctly with keyboard shortcuts, uses accessibility APIs, can drag-and-drop with other apps, etc. Using a DOM UI will get you a lot of that without too much effort. Using a WebGL UI won’t.

I'm learning Chinese, and it was also quite tricky to realize that it also does not have a word for yes and no. (Despite what translators will tell you, yes is not 是 (shi), no is not 不 (bu), rather 是 means 'to be' and 不 negates whatever verb comes after)

Rather, Chinese responds indicates affirmative or negative by repeating the verb of the question in either plain or negated form.

e.g.

Q: Do you like hot pot? A: like | not like
Q: ni xihuan huoguo ma? A: xihuan | bu xihuan

Q: Do you have covid? A: have | not have
Q: ni you mei you wuhan feiyan? A: you | meiyou

Q: Are you american? A: is | is not
Q: ni shi meiguoren ma? A: shi | bu shi

etc.

This was quite strange to get used to, but makes perfect sense once internalized.

I'll always have a fondness in my heart for "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond, and I have always enjoyed "The Stand" by Stephen King although I think it requires being in a certain mood to listen to it. "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah was really good, because I think he's a good storyteller, he has a good voice for narration, and just the right amount of "funny" without it being forced
