Small, yes.

When I worked for a .gov we’d have issues like this from time to time, and it was always amusing to see the face of the douche VP of whatever realizing how screwed he was when our attorneys would school them on the various contract provisions they had agreed to without reading.

They’d lay out the basic approach of how they would approach the fraud litigation, and let them know that the “retainage” terms means that the all current receivables would be held in escrow until the matter was resolved.

Author of the essay here. I did a double take at seeing it posted here because I thought it was completely forgotten, nearly including by myself. I think the actual date of this essay is 2007 or maybe 2006, because I remember writing it from my university computer lab and I was class of '07. Anyway, there's certainly a lot of water under the bridge since then and the political composition of hackerdom today looks nothing like it did 15 years ago. With the growth of the FAANGs there are far more hackers today than there were then, and the younger ones are a lot more likely to be leftists than libertarians. Still, though, when I travel in libertarian circles it's pretty clear to me that hackers are overrepresented there, so I think the reverse remains true as well, even though it's not as dramatic or obvious as it was in the '00s.
Ok, let's change to that from http://objective.st/About above. Thanks!
As a hobbyist who used Fusion 360 for various woodworking design and CNC tasks, this doesn’t really impact me, however, it basically pushes me a lot closer to investing in other tools.

Basically, pulling features without much communication or forewarning is just not OK.

Part of me wonders about the feasibility of an open source business based around paid support and training of a complex professional tool. I know of cases this works for tools aimed at software engineers, but I’d be curious if that was really attempted with CAD
I wonder how many meteors were detected in that data. Are we talking a few hundred or hundreds of thousands? That would make a failure with 99.999% confidence more likely

The good stuff I listed far exceeds the scope of the enlightenment, having happened for long before the enlightenment started.

Meritocracy certainly has negative consequences, as do all systems, including egalitarianism and democracy. Putting full faith in any of these systems is a reliable road to evil.
When I bought my house in Los Angeles (in the southern part of the San Fernando Valley, not particularly close to the accident site), in 2005, the closing documents I had to sign had disclosures about the accident.
I have. Hiring manager lied about the job and put his two weeks in the week I started. I wasn't on the team I interviewed with nor doing the work I was promised. Noped right out of there.

I'd be skeptical of claims made by a "social media strategist", who is the proprietor of a for profit business focused on getting brands to invest in social media.

It seems she interviewed 2-3 Zoomers ("mini focus group"), who were there to simply say the techcrunch article is truth, which fundamentally supports her core business goals.
Which way is the 2nd not being read exactly as it does? I'm not familiar.
You are very confused. Nobody is talking about the famous Charlottesville neonazi march. The discussion is about a (supposedly?) unrelated torchlit march that happened at a suckless conference.

The excuse given by suckless people is that torchlit marches are a common fixture in non-fascist German culture (I don't know if this is true or not).
What a glowing review. As a Ventura native, I approve.
I did learn Clojure on my own, and the first time I shipped Clojure was doing some contract work with some other clojurists I met at a meetup.

As for breaking in, I'd suggest meeting some other developers if you can, small industries have even more of a "recommend a friend" approach to hiring than the average.

If you can't, a small online presence, some open source code or blogging about some Clojure you wrote or similar will probably get you fast tracked. That's not even really necessary, you'll find that most places advertising Clojure jobs are already willing to train people and don't get a ton of applicants, so coming in already knowing the language is going to a big boost.

I do encourage you to build a network of Clojure developers though, from what I've seen for myself and others it is pretty easy to find work once you have this. It is more about choosing between opportunities than trying to find them.
Sooo we didn’t control for age?
> Sometimes the point is just having it possible. Sometimes I need to get that last bit of performance out of some code

I'm talking about complexity beyond using a small subset of C++ features, things like template metaprogramming (but not limited to that).

> If your performance requirements are more in the scripted range then C++ will seem like overkill. I often use python for quick and dirty tools, however every other time I end up rewriting things in C++ because something that should finish almost instantly takes half an hour.

I have a wide range of requirements depending on what I am working on. I can still drop down to a C or C++ level if I need to, but if I do use C++ it will only be a limited subset that minimizes complexity.

Also, you imply that Lisp and Scheme-like languages are limited to performance on par with Python or other so-called "scripting languages". There are languages in that vein that can perform very close to C's performance (Gambit Scheme being one such example). Often instead of rewriting in a lower-level language, you can use optimizations in the language to improve performance. Of course you can also just rewrite smaller portions of code in C or C++ and call that code from another language.

I'm not someone who just dabbled in C++ for a little while and gave up. I have decades of experience with it. I wanted to use it beyond "C plus a little extra", but I found that the further from a C-like subset I went the more incidental complexity I had to deal with, and in the end the benefits I was looking for just never materialized.
lol. I actually checked with them :)
If you're trying to quit, try switching to eddibles. Longer time to have an effect makes it less addictive.
I though that but I just installed the latest version and it does change the displayed keybindings
Which is a mutual relationship
I feel the same way about simulations. People are mad that Fusion 360 started turning the screws on hobbyists. It is ridiculously expensive for noodling around with your 3D printer once a month. I paid rather than learning some other piece of software, and whether or not simulation is free is not something that particularly bothers me. I'm always considering jumping to something else in the back of my mind; OpenSCAD is most appealing to me, but I like the 2D sketch + extrude model.

(All the cool kids are using Onshape now, but I just can't get excited about a browser app. So I keep using Fusion 360, and honestly, I still like it, even if Autodesk is not a shining paragon of software and social excellence.)
In this context, if land is being redeployed to grow bio-energy crops then there will be less mustard consumed. There is not an infinite amount of farmland, farmers and capital available to grow things - if resources are being directed away from food to biofuels then there will be less food.

The market will find an equilibrium, but it will involve people giving up mustard because the cost is too high. They have to - there is less mustard. Someone will have to give up consuming mustard and in the medium term it is going to be prices that are the mechanism. That is what prices going up generally mean - the market is shaking some people out so they stop using a product. In the short term I see they have a sign saying "only 1 mustard" or something like that.
I quit a job 3 weeks in because my coworkers were dead inside. Employers prolly won't ask about such anomalies on your resume unless it looks like a pattern. GTFO. Have a prepared response just in case
Agreed. This is what fascism actually looks like.
I kinda fell in love when I started using zellij.

I say this as a vim user, but it reminds me of what nano is compared to vim. With zellij, you can jump in blind and learn how it works. Compared to tmux, which is great, but like vim, requires more upfront learning.

And the configuration is awesome. I’ve defined workspaces that look like a sophisticated IDE with little effort. It always seemed to be more effort doing the same in tmux.
Suckless and cat-v exposed me to the Unix philosophy in the early 10s and it instantly resonated with me. Trollish contrarianism was at least part of the appeal, but the fundamentals made sense. I was not from a CS background, but realized that I could write software too if I kept things single purpose and leaned on the existing ecosystem. I probably owe my current career to these cheeky cunts. dwm is still chugging along on my underpowered OpenBSD laptop and I am happy.
Scientists invent quantum Pied Piper that makes particles of light move together
I swear, the companies in 3d software tooling adjacent industries must almost _want_ Blender to eat their lunch.

If affected companies banded together to pay in even 10% of what they currently pay Autodesk towards working with the blender foundation, we'd see it all in FOSS within 2 years.

Coordination problems are hard though. Only time will tell how hard people will actually push back.
I think a better example wouldn't use 是. For example:

你去不去商店吗? (Are you going to the store?)

The way to answer is either going (去) or not going (不去). There are a lot of phrase for "that's right" or similar, but that's not the same as "yes."

Mandarin has no word directly mapping to "yes."
20-50 years of access is WAY better than the streaming services who all guarantee.. nothing. I'm not likely to be around in 50 years myself.

That said, saving it in another format is a good idea. Harder to do thanks to DRM, but at least plausible.

As far as letting it all just go, that's terrible. At that rate, future generations will know more about ancient Sumeria than the 2020s. I think we can do better.
Why would you use a real child? That's so dumb
I'm convinced that, while it's bad policy, there's no real effect - the first thing you do upon installing a new dependency is import it, and importing it... Runs arbitrary code.
Ok, I'll have to look into this later - there are not currently any deleted comments in this subthread. Possibly a mod detached some? I'm not sure yet.
It speaks to financial desperation more than cynical profit grubbing. They need to juice sales and fully recognize the income to remain solvent.
I could see it happening as an intermediate step, before everywhere has automated delivery.

Similar to how there are smaller stores that don't accept credit cards yet, most shops probably won't support any sort of delivery either. This is already being addressed by services like doordash/grubhub/postmates/etc, but it'd be cool to have your own personal doordasher that you (presumably) could pay normal store prices with.

I do think the more likely scenario though would be somebody like doordash firing their human delivery drivers and just having robots/drones do it instead though.
Cannabis causes tons of people lots of problems. Not to mention that the most popular method of consumption is SMOKING. You are breaking molecular bonds and letting them recombine randomly.

Don't get me wrong, it has medicinal uses and I support the legalization of it, but people like you calling it a miracle cure for everything are insufferable.

Awesome stuff here.

Is there a companion site for the US Army? A quick google suggests not, but my Google Fu has been quite poor as of late.
They’ve milked AutoCAD and Revit long enough. Time for alternatives.
No, the concern is not your computer is compromised. Yours is a low-value target, sorry.

It's their http server, or a machine that feeds that http server, which is a good target for a compromise. Injecting a little bit of malicious code that steals something, or installs a fileless piece of malware, would bring massive benefits to the perpetrator, even if the exploit is short-lived.

That shell script should be a zip (gzip, xz) file, with a sha256 hash of it published on a different, separately hosted resource.

Maybe we should provide an utility that just does that in one command. It could even be a shell script...
Maybe so, but that would be a reason to post fewer empty putdowns, not more.
I don’t get it for running, running makes me feel terrible, and I have a bad knee which probably contributes, it’s too painful after about 10km (6miles).

Nice to see details on the U.S. Naval Communication Station North West Cape | Harold Holt (unironic rename) Station.

https://www.navy-radio.com/commsta/holt.htm

I ended up owning some of those cabinets after they were sold via salvage auction and grew up learning Ham radio from operators in NW Australia that spent time tapping the VLF (Very Low Frequency) comms to nuclear subs for traffic analysis.

> Covering 1000 acres, the VLF antenna array is the largest in the world.

> The antennas themselves are large spider-webs of wire, supported like a tophat on thirteen steel towers. The towers serve no other purpose than to support this tophat arrangement. The center tower, Tower Zero, is the highest manmade structure in the Southern Hemisphere. It rises to an awesome height of 1,271 feet. The other towers spread out in two concentric rings around Tower Zero. The inner ring of towers is 1 195 feet high and the outer ring is 996 feet high.

> Buried in the ground beneath the antenna is 240 miles of bare copper wire which comprises the "ground mat".

> The power plant located in area "A" is one of the largest presently operated by the U. S. Navy.

> It is made up of six diesel engine driven generators each possessing the capability to produce 3,000,000 watts of power. This creates a total plant capacity of 18,000,000 watts, enough to supply the electric needs for a city of 12,000 people. At present this plant is committed to provide the total power for areas "A" and "B".
In Australia, electric leaf blowers are very common, almost certainly the majority of such devices. Most are battery-powered, but some have a mains lead.

You could probably spend an extra $100/mo on RobotCare+ so that you could pay your $1200 deductible and get a brand new replacement robot.
A lot of early hard disc controllers used segment C800 for BIOS extensions. Other adaptors could map into the Dxxx and Exxx ranges.
CadQuery with a GUI sounds really good right now.
This is rapidly becoming the "norm".

Why do you think basically every software product coming out these days is "SaaS"? It turns out that "SaaS" is basically equivalent to "we're rent seeking - we won't do more work, but we will rake in more revenue".

My prediction is that we're going to force the learning curve of tech on the general population (also already happening) because just like those who couldn't read were heavily abused by those who could - those who can't host their own software are being abused by those who can.
As someone who uses and relies on Fusion for work, it's frustrating how customer hostile Autodesk is. And this is on top of their subscription price increase they announced in March.

A part of me wants to reimplement the tool holders for ToolWall[1] in OpenSCAD[2] and be done with it with Autodesk forever.

The lasers are around 10-15% efficient in converting electricity to light.

These pellet experiments are not about energy production. They are about telling scientists how these materials would handle the pressure and heat of a collapsing uranium cylinder, how efficient they would fuse, and how much energy and neutrons they would produce.

It's not like this hasn't been tried.

First, do you know what Soviet stands for? The relevant meaning of the word in Russian is "council", and it refers to "worker councils", "soldier councils", etc. that made the revolution happen (the Petrograd Soviet, or council, in St Petersburg was the main alternative power structure to Provisional Government that took over from the czar), that were supposed to "democratically" run things like factories, and send delegates to higher levels to democratically run things there. Somehow, this all ended up a dictatorship, as it did pretty much every time something like this has been tried.

Then, economically, co-ops are perfectly legal in the West. There are some successful ones, like REI. I shop at REI a lot, and I really don't give a damn if employers are wage laborers or co-op members - I doubt most people do. If anything, some people might prefer co-ops because they would give them the same warm fuzzy feeling as green-washed products do, so a co-op would start out with a competitive advantage at least among the well-off liberals. Why not go build a coop to replace your local restaurant or a laundromat; or Exxon, or Google, or whatever? Perhaps because generally, it doesn't work so well? Heck, I don't know how much of a "real" co-op REI is anymore, at this scale.
The sixty-year old nuclear disaster and toxic spills that still almost no one knows about due to decades of cover ups, in the vicinity of residential areas to the west of Los Angeles. Comparable to Three Mile Island, but built in a rickety warehouse with no containment.

How many folks died from cancer as a result? I personally have known quite a few, but hard to say definitively.
My Dad was in a radar picket ship in the Pacific in 1960 and one of his favorite stories was not being able to raise Treasure Island in SF about 100 miles out, but having no problem conversing with Bremerhaven, and ultimately using USN facility in Bremerhaven to relay messages back and forth with Treasure Island.

Turns out Bremerhaven was a Navy SIGINT station.

Unless by “global” they mean… no, I’m stumped.
USS Jimmy Carter was named after the former President because Jimmy Carter was himself a submarine officer, and during his Navy service used his nuclear training to assist in the cleanup and recovery of a nuclear accident in Canada.

He considered his time as a nuclear submarine officer so formative that a question to him from the Admiral in charge of Naval Reactors, Hyman Rickover, formed the title of his book "Why Not the Best?" [1]

President Carter was well-aware that the submarine was named after him and why, and stated himself how proud he was to have a submarine named after him. [2] Not just a submarine either; the Seawolf class is still among the most capable ever built by the U.S., and the Jimmy Carter (with her "special projects" upgrades) is the most capable of the entire class.

The "What it's like" posts are really cool. Especially enjoyed this account[1] from a content writer who shadowed the CEO during a half-day meeting with a major investor and got to see the impact of their work in a context they never expected:

> Next we met with Vinod, Bruce, and investment partners Brian Byun and Sven Strohband for a company brief and brainstorm session. Sid began with an update on the financials, and detailed our massive growth and expansion both in terms of people and product. There were no slides presented. Instead, Sid used our website as a visual aid. Nearly every question or discussion point was first addressed with a Google search to pull up the appropriate GitLab web page to reference.

[...]

> I’ve been working at GitLab for two and a half years as a content writer on our marketing team and at times have been extremely frustrated with our marketing website—the content on it, how it’s organized, what we’re presenting, etc. It doesn’t look or operate in a way I’m familiar with so my instinct was to not trust it. But nothing we do at GitLab is “normal,” and witnessing our CEO use the website as a single source of public truth to inform our investors is just one example of what it means to be a transparent company.

Is this a feature we could add to openscad? Seems like a lot of people would be willing to pay someone to add it.
If I have bought a fusion 360 license yesterday for 3 years, they would have to deliver the features for 3 years.

That is almost certainly a mirage of the mountains in the background. Look at the "UFO" image and then look at the more recent image of the location down the page a bit. There is a particular peak that looks suspiciously similar to the UFO.

Have a look at this mirage image, taken in Namibia:
https://i.imgur.com/D21xgfy.jpg

Mirages often feature a mirror image of the object, as if it's sitting in a body of water with a reflection. That is exactly how the UFO appears.

I would be much more inclined to believe this is something strange if the entire area weren't made up of mountains which have peaks that look exactly like the object in this photograph, but alas...I am a man of logic. I would be willing to bet this is nothing more than an illusion and the most interesting thing is the atmospheric conditions that made this photo possible.
Have you ever thought about a rule, that you can only downvote a comment if it has at least one reply (by anybody, not necessarily the downvoter)? That would discourage the demoralising situation where someone gets downvoted but is left guessing why.

Of course, there will be some comments which do not merit a reply (non-substantive contributions or blatant trolling) - but, those comments should be flagged anyway. Maybe count flags as downvotes (if they aren’t already), so you could still downvote reply-less comments by flagging them.

Revit is such a terrible tool that there’s an entire ecosystem of AddIns that support the pathetic program. Autodesk hasn’t since made significant improvements. They probably don’t even have enough C# programmers to update the codebase.
