"and sources of income all of the sudden"

I explained why it isn't their source of income. They have their own currency with a floating exchange rate. Therefore what you think is their 'source of income' isn't. The FX system means that a Russian exporters 'source of income' (that which they use to pay their staff and suppliers) is the expenditure of the Russian importer, or the generosity of the Russian government sector - primarily the Bank of Russia. [0]

In local currency terms it is the Bank of Russia buying the gas, not the EU. That maintains the rouble monetary circulation in Russia, countering the drain to Rouble net savings and taxation.

Scientists create ‘synthetic’ embryo with brain, beating heart in ‘world first’
Who makes a mess? People who don’t care, or who hate other people. How do we, as a society, make less of those? By investing in social programs, getting people out of poverty and drugs, civic education. Increasing the minimum wage. Eliminating wage theft. UBI.

Will any of these work? I don’t know. But this is the way. Not stricter and stricter gatekeeping.
Ok, sure, blogging is too self-aggrandizing, real writers dive into a topic and aren't swayed by a constant stream of feedback. I also remember the good old days when books were real books and ideas were less (were they?) about politics and identity.

For almost a decade, off and on, I've wanted to make a content aggregator where links can be collected and stacked and have some kind of permanence. Seems like everything is a feed now. I want light, long-term, async communication, like community centre corkboards for everything.

While I don't really care about the Ukraine crisis (its just being used as a political tool here), Namecheap offices were being blown up by an invading force.

If Russia wants to have free commerce with Ukraine, including domain registration, then it shouldn't have invaded. As soon as war started, all trade requirements cease. In fact, I'm surprised it didn't become illegal immediately to have any commerce with Russia.
The Age of Uncertainty if you'd like a good overview to start with.

His The Great Crash: 1929 remains amazing.

And his son (James K.) is also an economist, pretty good.
Won't it work though? The market isn't full of rational salary optimizing actors, there are some (probably a small percentage) that care more about their work env and culture than salary. This might be either because they already feel they have enough money or simply hate the normal corporate culture.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying?" Ehrlichman told Baum.

"We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
Yes, Rider is my personal favourite. I go for the full IDE experience so VS Code falls short.
In fact, denying the courtesies and benefits to norm breakers is exactly how you improve society. That’s like raising a child: you won’t convince a toddler with a reasoned argument about empathy, the value of preserving shared norms, and the benefits of delayed gratification. Instead, you tell them that if they misbehave, they don’t get to watch TV. Bums respond to incentives too.
You're probably right about that, but I'm just saying that "They kill dolphins!" is a low-effort remark, when America is doing much more damage to the ocean via CO2 emission.
It’s the eternal problem of “of course we should make sacrifices for X, but it’s that other group who should sacrifice, not me”.
Presence of an alternative ≠ the alternative replacing the incumbent.

Linux has not completely replaced Windows or macOS, it even has not replaced FreeBSD. But having it as an alternative, even back in 1990s when it was not yet mature, was very important.

Firefox has not replaced MSIE or Chrome, but its presence is very, very important for the entire Web, to my mind.
Blender was a commercial product, whose main users kept supporting after it went open source.
If you just want to adjust your keyboard layout, MacOS has historically a rather flexible and adjustable keyboard layout and key binding systems.

For custom keyboard layouts there is the app Ukulele which is slightly more easier than writing the XML files per hand:

https://software.sil.org/ukelele/

https://web.archive.org/web/20080509183706/http://developer....

For more complicated key bindings the Cocoa Text System is rather nice; you can even create little macros:

(Disclaimer: I last tested these things 2005ish and Apple is only moving forward. Still I think those systems are still there.)
Yep, and how so many publishers want your own platform stats. I know people with large insta followings getting book deals purely because they can market their own books and cost publishers next to nothing, with an almost guaranteed profit.

Right, and this is basically an admission of their own uselessness. They'll only help you if you can prove you don't need the help. They're rent-seekers at this point.

To be fair, it is a hard problem. In the visual arts, you can tell if someone is talented immediately. With authors, especially in fiction, there's about a 12-hour commitment before one even knows if they know how to begin, carry, and finish a story. Literary agents, who are supposed to be the gatekeepers, are beyond useless at it (although it is worthwhile to get one, if you can, because you need one to be a serious player in traditional publishing).
I think the correlation of people who don't like paying for things and engineers are because most engineers are people who learned computers at a young age and found piracy, etc as their goto way to learn things because I know I couldn't afford Macromedia Dreamweaver when I was a kid, but I used it...

So now most think "why would I pay when I can pirate or use an alternative that is a pain to setup but once you get over that initial pain, it's smooth sailing" whereas others are like "I don't have time nor desire to do that, just take my $10/mo"

I personally stopped pirating and started paying for stuff for the same reasons you stated, and also because I felt like a hypocrite expecting people to pay me for my work, when I wouldn't pay others for their work.
ever feel like igneous rocks are just bullshit?
Yes. Affinity Photo and Design most likely.

GIMP is just awful. It's worse than any of the commercial Mac paint programs including Pixelmator, acorn, etc.
I fully agree with 1 & 2 at least. So I remapped capslock with delete and space with enter. (Numpad is too thoroughly embedded in my head to move it.)

Easier/lazier than building a new KB.

Though it does present some issues when using other machines. And people thoroughly freak out if they jump on mine.
The callousness of “street critter” really hits hard.
> Yeah, pretty short-sighted of you to go out of your way to design those systems in a way that is dependent on a single company hosting it.

I don't think we can have a productive conversation if you make statements like these.
There are places like small parks, playgrounds, etc can’t have bathrooms for the 99.9% because the .1% run everything
I think the capslock position is a holdover from manual typewriters. Pressing the shift or capslock keys actually lifted up a fair chunk of the internal metal of the thing, so it was fairly strenuous. You also use to do all-caps for headings and such much more often.

I learned to touch type on manual typewriters in school. I was the only boy in the class as it was geared towards secretarial work - but I knew I was going to have a career on computers so thought it was worthwhile.
Marx was primarily addressing the value of commodities, ie. economic value, but extending it to works of art: the number of socially necessary hours required to create a piece of work. That's not the same as market value though both exist. Art creation isn't really addressed by this as the labour pool for a piece of art is exactly one whereas the Labour Theory of Value is about social production.
Exactly, and Blender wasn’t competitive to Max or Maya. But with enough focused money that was turned around.
His reviews are great, but I find it mind-boggling that Thomas Ran (Chyrosran22) doesn't touch-type when he demos typing. e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9LcLgcCmus&t=644s.

Is he able to touch-type but simply chooses not to? Or did his obsession with keyboards never lead to him learning how? It's a mystery to me.
That's a pretty common problem. Nintendo also does this.
Ah! Nice catch!! I didn't even notice that. My expectation for this project is focusing mainly on the music theory part and visualization. So I guess using a good existing synth will make my life eaiser.

Thanks again!
Inbuilt rider works well too, I prefer having it all in docker compose I can wipe and recreate as one. Runs fine on nodejs so it’s surprising they haven’t been able to provide an arm build. More just slightly annoying than anything.

Emulation across the board just doesn’t seem to be a priority for Azure, seen the attitude of “just run a cloud development environment” a few times.
I think that’s probably putting it nicely.
Been using it professionally for image and photo editing for 25 years.
>It's bizarre that we let Nixon start a ware against a plant as a facade for destroying Jewish and Black activist communities.

The actual situation is much more nuanced than that. The war was also supported by many black leaders and drug makers at the time.

>But early on, many African-American leaders championed those same tough-on-crime policies.

>The Rev. George McMurray was lead pastor at the Mother A.M.E. Zion Church in Harlem in the 1970s, when the city faced a major heroin epidemic. He called for drug dealers to spend the rest of their lives behind bars. [...]

>Black support for the drug war didn't just grow in New York alone. At the federal level, members of the newly formed Congressional Black Caucus met with President Richard Nixon, urging him to ramp up the drug war as quickly as possible. [...]

>Voting records show that many black lawmakers supported some of the most punitive drug-war-era laws in America. But even some people who have long opposed harsh sentencing laws understand where supporters were coming from. The Rev. Herbert Daughtry, a longtime pastor in New York, once was addicted to heroin and served time. He's convinced that black leaders who embraced the drug war did serious harm to the community, but says a lot of African-Americans were desperate for ways to make their neighborhoods safe again. "If you're the victim, then you don't want to hear anything about treatment, just, 'Get this guy off the street.' "
The only acceptable short-term solution I can think of at the moment is simply to increase the cleaning until the bathrooms are always acceptable. There are some things which could be done to turn this from prohibitively expensive to simply very expensive one: One idea mentioned in the article is to turn a tradidional timer-based activity to a level-based trigger; i.e. if you have two bathrooms at the same location, and a reporting function so that every time someone sees an unacceptable bathroom, it is promptly cleaned while the other bathroom provides redundancy. This way, it only gets cleaned when necessary instead of periodically.

This is, of course, only papering over the problem in the short run. Which is why the real solution must be to improve society.

Ostracizing people who behave badly will only make society worse.
>You've just described a BBS. Some are still around, accessible via telnet/SSH.

right, but that misses the point a bit; being connected to others on the system at the time was basically frictionless -- no need to connect somewhere, you were already on the same machine.

saying "hey bob, connect to X bbs" is a bit different; you're not already working there -- it requires user intervention to experience.
It’s shown very clear technological benefit to engineering problems around DLT and BFT public ledgers. We do not see the same level of vitriol around Paxos or Raft despite them being arguably even worse and more centralized DLTs.

I think these vitriolic reactions are due to the market cap of crypto, not the technology. There is an expectation that, at this valuation, it should deliver more than what the average person is seeing in mainstream usage. And that’s fair - a lot of the value is driven by speculation.
I never considered this differentiator before, but it makes sense.
A bit of a bait-and-switch title. Why not use the actual "DALL-E Unleashes Natural Stupidity to Fight Its Own Artificial Intelligent Racist Robots"?

The tone seems unreasonably harsh, and the essay does not provide any insight on how OpenAI might have otherwise addressed issues on provision of intelligent tools trained on generally available, but sometimes flawed data.
This is a rant, born out of years of frustration that so many programming languages either do not support user-defined algebraic data types at all, or support them poorly...
Yeah, I remapped my the caplock to escape, best change ever.
Yeah everyone is just trying to thread the needle off social Justice by using technology discriminate in ways that are not socially acceptable in highly liberal areas.
There's definitely pre-built options out there. On the QMK side you have stuff like the Technik, Keychron, Moonlander, and a lot more. On the ZMK side there's a few options right now but there's some in the pipeline like the new Kinesis 360 "pro" model.

There's also a lot of small companies offering build/modification services if you're not comfortable with a soldering iron but want something more exotic. It's usually not cheap but keyboards are honestly a really expensive hobby.
Why would they? Companies don’t need an alternative to Adobe. The licensing costs are a drop in the bucket.

Would it be nice to have? Sure. But there are tons of alternatives to Photoshop that just don’t compete on market share, despite photoshop lagging behind in many areas.

If companies were backing an OSS editor though, Krita is by far more favoured by professional creatives. It’s more familiar coming from Photoshop, has better extensibility+Python scripting+Qt which is great for pipelines and has a much better handling of color science and other features important for professionals.

>What is the thinnest vertical slice of end-to-end power-generation functionality that an individual would be able deploy and maintain on their own?

None, you'll want to have an accountant and a lawyer and incorporate your business before you begin to approach your states Public Utility Commission.

Your best bet is taking over an existing hydro-dam, but there are VERY good reasons people don't want to own them.
Possibly related, I don’t think the book itself is free anymore (at least, if I’m reading railstutorial.com correctly).
Agree with almost everything. But again most dont pick X1 as comparison in terms of Windows Laptop.

Especially the Keyboard, 1.5mm Ley Travel ( if I remember correctly ). Which was the old scissor keyboard Apple used to have but switch to some insane low key travel typing experience.

I think a lot of the Windows Laptop are finally catching up to Macbook. Simply because YouTube and reviewers are pointing out some of these things as comparison. And funny enough Microsoft is the one pushing this with their Surface Laptop. And largely the last point is the key difference. Apple dont make low end trash.
> The Mill anyone?

I had the Mills architecture in the back of my mind while watching that video. I wonder what became of the team?
I wasn’t aware that there was a “public bathroom problem”.
That was only reported pretty recently.
Yeah it’s unfortunate, post covid a lot of previously accessible bathrooms are no longer available and with no public options is a huge inconvenience

Nothing would make me happier than a serious, open source alternative to Photoshop, but GIMP is not currently on a Blender-like trajectory to be that.
I was :facepalm:
There aren't any banks or other lenders involved (other than the government) and haven't been since way back in the Obama administration.
I guess they included the Formaldehyde weight in the total.
That's 80k + a share, which may have a lot of value.
Great, one less thing, thanks. LAB would be awesome as well.

We really need an open source alternative to Photoshop. I just don’t know if gimp will ever be it.
My Unicomp is the only mechanical keyboard I have not sold.
If you deal with ordering lots of Dell servers you can have them customize the BMC security settings(nearly any setting actually). I know of many people who have them either turn the legacy root password back on or use a password they tell Dell.

I insist on a certain boot order from the factory and have the initial pxe boot of the server lock down the idrac. It isn't perfect but it beats having someone pull and scan all those tags.
I understood exactly what he was saying.
>"but to improve society so that gatekeeping becomes unnecessary."

I understand the sentiment but I ultimately find such a stance unhelpful and counterproductive because it is essentially saying the problems we face would go away if we only just created a utopia. Like, what's stopping us?

Trying to create better public restrooms with a new system seems far more achievable than implementing a new socioeconomic system where no one feels like trashing public bathrooms and common areas.
>So it’s only natural to offer recourse for past garbage decisions.

Except that's a terrible way of offering "recourse". It really only benefits the people who are able to start a business, which probably means they're already financially well off. Every other convict gets nothing. Overall the policy seems similar to admissions policies at colleges that favor black students. They're trying to right some wrong, but the policy is so poorly targeted that it ends up benefiting primarily blacks who are already well off (and probably the least negatively affected by past discrimination), whereas poorer blacks who are actually suffering from the effects of past discrimination get nothing.
Has it been implemented by any carriers?

The US phone system had such a service for a few years (area code 500 iirc). It had so little uptake that it was shut down.
Cool! My suggestion would be to make it more mobile friendly. I suspect any regular user will be near their piano, and using a computer or laptop there can be tricky! So I bet phones would be very common for people without a tablet.

The UI is just very small on a phone. While I understand why that may need to be the case for the actual keys, everything else should be significantly larger.
> They're aren't mind readers but they made a decision that he was commiting a crime or about to commit one. They escalated it, not him.

No, actually that's not what they decided.

They decided that, before they just walk away from their SWORN DUTY to investigate without knowing who he was or whether he actually belonged at that property, they would actually do their jobs and find that out that information by doing a simple thing like asking him to identify himself.

I know some people really don't like police officers, but, in the future, you should try to make sure that that dislike doesn't make you completely irrational.

There are many axis of taking care of the environment, and CO2 emissions is fairly (but not completely) independent from killing dolphins in a cruel way. This unfortunately makes it so that comparing how environmentally friendly one country is from another is very tricky.
Many animals have enough brain power for efficient foraging. The most brainpower-demanding thing humans do, apart from science - but that came later, is interacting with other humans. Coordinating, but also scheming and deceiving.

In the meantime, many companies use Affinity[1] (commercial) as an alternative... But Adobe stuff is still the default software to "learn" with, so most designers insist using it... and personnel costs are much higher than licensing costs.

Why the random mention of dolphins? The ones being hunted aren’t at risk of extinction.

It’s not as bad as cattle farming, which is straight up destroying the environment in several ways, from clear cutting rainforests to feed them to filling the air with methane.

And dolphin tastes pretty good, too.
At that level, definitely not in it for the money. At the C level though I got the sense that there was supreme respect for the cultural role of publishers - but it was a narrow second to business concerns, and they would make that tradeoff if necessary.

The "cultural role" is drummed up in order to get people to work on below-subsistence salaries.

It's probably more about ego than money for the high-level people. Since people are cheap (because "passion") they can have large teams under them without their organizations having to pay the typical costs of large teams.

The truth about it, though, is that the culture is too balkanized for any of this stuff to make sense. Very few people go out of their way to read or find the best books; for good or for bad, they've all self-segregated into warring
genres and subgenres--and the so-called "literary" crowd who insist their genre is not a genre are often the worst in this regard. The balkanization is probably why no one knows how to market books anymore; people really understand a small slice of the total readership and, in any case, the lines are always changing.
And those podcasts could be condensed into well-edited text, for ingesting the same information even faster?
