I like the diverse casting, it fits the world in my opinion especially since Tolkien populated it with so many different races. What makes my blood boil is the pukeworthy feminist drivel hamfisted into everything. I couldn’t get past the first episode with Galadriel as some kind of warrior aping what should really be a man’s role.
The indie author gold rush was basically 2012 through now. It's still in full swing. But much like the California Gold Rush, it's beyond a saturation point. There are all kinds of sharks in the water, selling seminars and promising riches.

Fines. If that doesn’t work, maybe they restrict gas to your home like California is starting to restrict water for places that continue to water the lawn.

Arch doesn't use nightly packages. They use stable and Debian often use several releases behind. Your statement is like saying that using the latest official stable version of Nginx is the same as nightly and doesn't instill a lot of confidence in whatever point you're trying to make.

Thank you!

Me, I'm more interested in building alternate futures than writing stories about alternate histories. It's just more difficult!

If you want to understand what cultural or political factors have prevented innovation, maybe a good place to start is the cultures that are currently failing at innovation. I mean, on an absolute scale, that's all of them, but some are failing harder than others: the PRC is failing harder than Taiwan, the US is failing harder than the PRC, Brazil is failing harder than the US, Nigeria is failing harder than Brazil, and Malawi is failing harder than Nigeria. Maybe an especially good place to start would be the stories of people who have succeeded at innovation despite finding themselves in the most unfavorable conditions, like William Kamkwamba's application of windmills in Malawi. He wrote a book about it: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.

Any STEM graduate school research program in the US or Europe is full of people who are advancing foundational knowledge, but moved there from cultures that are doing very poorly at advancing foundational knowledge. It might be worthwhile to talk to them.

Of course, the situation 100, 1000, or 10'000 years ago was not the same as the situation in Malawi today. On one hand, the people who invented fossil-fueled mass production, movable type, and gunpowder 1000 years ago in China didn't have to compete economically against cheaper and technically superior imports from the modern US, the way Malawians do today; on the other, they couldn't import knowledge and tools from the US, and they didn't know that the things they were attempting were even possible.
I try not to use anything in PHP; Python and Ruby are isolated as well as possible (optimally, not having access to my homedir and definitively not getting "installed"); Bash will get thoroughly reviewed for data validation red flags; and I will avoid anything that imposes a code convention and is written in Go.

Now I am surprised that I don't have any general rule for C and Java.
You're not wrong about the way macOS is typically used, but...

Is lifetime syntax so terrible? Personally I like that all the subtyping relations are in the same place (lifetime outlives, polymorphism etc) and that they can be written inline until complicated enough to justify a ``where`` block.
And people have been claiming for decades that private industry is more efficient and less corrupt than government.

in germany/austria i don't need a business license to be a sole proprietor. i just need to report my income and pay the relevant income taxes.

suing was meant to be a stand in for any way to sort out complaints. how does your labor agency force a remote company to comply with your laws? in particular how would they deal with wrongful termination?

maybe we are talking about the same thing, and there is just a difference of what you or me consider a contract vs employment.

may i ask what is your country? the US company registering with your tax agency is interesting. that may make all the difference. i'd like to know more about that.

The tell tale the I recall is that when you "warped out" (or whatever), there was a sound of the drive spinning up, since it was real time, spinning up the drive took time. When the buzz peaked, you were ready to go.

I also remember the display being more busy than what we've seen here so far.

I don't recall a splash screen, and it was all CGA.

It was definitely '84-'85 time period, a friend just bought a new Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack that we played it on.

I was saying our ability, as in Earth today, has a practicality factor of zero for building even a von Neumann probe. That's not to say we won't be able to in the future but today the practicality factor is zero.

Take for instance the Parker Solar Probe at its fastest will hit about 193km/s thanks to slingshots around the Sun. It could reach Alpha Centauri in about 8000 years. If we could build killer nanobots we could put a bucket of them in such a probe and launch it at alien planets we didn't like.

Unfortunately for our killer nanobots there's no way to slow them down. If they impacted anything in the system they'd be vaporized. Whatever method we want to use to slow the probe down to some practical speed for a killer nanobot attack, we'd need to be far more advanced than we are today. We'd need extremely accurate maps of the target system, some sort of long-lived power system to run some kind of as-yet undeveloped ion drive to steer/slow the probe, and of course a way to build killer nanobots and a probe that could run for thousands of years flying through space.

So the practicality factor for us building killer nanobot probes is effectively zero.

As for your other points, I'm not worried about those things since they would be undetectable until it was too late. There's a lot more immediate concerns that are far more pressing and likely than any of those.
The World’s Coming Energy Catastrophe
Never had that discussion.

When I assign a day to a project, it basically means that I promise to not work on something else on that calendar day. But the actual hours don't matter that much if I get some stuff done.

I mean regular employees also can have a bad day where they can't concentrate well and then you only get 4 hours of productive work out of the 8 hours they are physically present.
That is the broken window fallacy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window) which was written in 1850, and Marx wrote the document you linked to in 1862 & 1863. Although I find Marx so impenetrable to read that I can’t even tell what his opinion or theory actually is. I would guess Marx read it, but he doesn’t respond to it, perhaps because in that linked document Marx says “For which reason all vulgar economists—like Bastiat…”. I also wonder what defines an economist as vulgar?

Fraud is waste. Businesses optimise for profit, and that optimisation often leads to some level of waste. No process is perfect.
Middle earth, and lots of fantasy in general is dominated by race and racism. Everyone's personality and stature is decided by their birth, and the breakdown of that system should be a plot point in the story to make the last alliance, though even the final fight is going to be super racist with the good races killing all the bad ones.

Diverse communities within those races is a jarring juxtaposition - they're both super racist and super not racist at the same time.

Not just zero physical evidence - zero evidence _at all_. Afaik it doesn't appear until Plato uses it, and he claims that its thousands of years old or something like that. That should reasonably have traces in other accounts through the years.

I did hear a fairly credible theory that it is just an allegory invented by Plato, but influenced by various other myths and political centers (such as king Minos rule on Crete).
As much as we like to blame government, and politicians - at the end of the day, ll... We are the government. We are the politicians. We are the inept, lazy society who has let it come to this. We are the ones fighting amongst ourselves, unable to converse and work with opposing viewpoints.

It's not just Jackson, or the state of Mississippi. The US has overbuilt infrastructure since WW2. All of it was built on the assumption that infrastructure investment always leads to a massive expansion of the tax base and easily pays for itself, when in reality more and more of our investments have had a negative ROI. This is going to be the new normal for the US as many cities have continues to expand outward for decades, incurring ever greater maintenance liability, without accompanying economic growth to support the maintenance burden.

I feel like I'm the only engineer out there who just doesn't care for all the complexity of the modern cloud - like, I just run Ubuntu VMs on ec2, I don't use all the whizbang services, I just don't care.

And this model lets me be cloud agnostic for the most part - I run data workloads on gcp, dev/build workloads on linode, I've run bare metal in some places where I needed on-prem stuff. It's all just very much simpler than every cloud's flavor of doing everything slightly differently through different apis and tooling...

The Richest Third World Country In The World?
That's a pretty narrow idea of a "package manager" if you don't consider a version manager to also be a kind of package manager.

It's more accurate to say that asdf does not comprehensively provide as many software that brew provides, and asdf does not manage library dependencies. What asdf does that brew is very crappy at is being able to run things in isolation from the home directory, and being able to run specific versions of a software. asdf installs things in the home directory by default, and so for the software it does have in its repos, it was something I use instead of brew.

Besides, you missed the part I wrote about nix. Even with a higher learning curve, nix does the things brew and asdf don't do well. It provides package management, library dependency management, can run things from the home directory, can have multiple versions running, and works with direnv to autoload the correct software based on the current directory.
Pointing out the flaws in open source software is totally fair, especially when the software is popular enough to have a gravitational pull on the rest of the ecosystem.

Of course, you need to be mindful not to be a jerk to the developers and maintainers, but that is different from criticizing the software.

If criticism of open source software was “problematic entitlement”, then I guess we’d have to swallow our tongues when Linux, Android, Chromium, Firefox, etc. make poor decisions. After all, they’ve helped billions of users, so who are we to question them?
What would your recommendation for calculus be?
Here's the thing about Atlantis: even if you know exactly where it is, and even if you can prove it, you'll find it's nearly impossible to sell.

The best way to be compensated for its discovery is probably to make a documentary, but this has been done dozens of times already by people who claimed to know where it is. Networks only have so much appetite for it. And even without that hurdle, it's extremely difficult to get a hold of anyone who might be able to help.

And if you went the academic route, you'd essentially be publishing the information for free, running the risk of someone else taking all the credit.

How would you even go about selling Atlantis? I'm seriously asking.
It’s wrong because hydrogen in the first stage optimized for things you don’t care about, namely propellant mass. In exchange, you get heavier tanks, physically larger engines, and (obviously) more complex operations.

Yes, it has the highest practical specific impulse. No, that is not the most important metric for a lower stage. Take a look at how many new launchers are using hydrogen in their lower stages. Hint: it’s a big, round sort of a number.
Same here, though my coworker got it working on an M1. I use a cloud Linux box and nix has been working great there.

Marazan's just randomly equated:

That is an important component of dignity but not the only one. Homelessness is another component. And frankly, after being in Paris and living in SF, I am much more worried about folks in Paris.

From the article:

"Over the years, he has flambéed no fewer than 11 people as the “stupidest man alive"

Yeah I probably won't be reading this book.
But the article does go over the utility and explicitly states that for many people the utility of a guaranteed 1 million dollars is greater than a 50/50 chance at 50 million, so I'm not sure what "people" you're talking about or if you even bothered to read the article.
In case law studies it is debated whether or not something that is erroneously made available to you can still be construed as fraud or theft when you take advantage of it.

Think of it like an ATM that suddenly thinks your balance is 5 quadrillion dollars, and you empty it because if their system says you have it, then it's your prerogative to appropriate those funds, according to your assertion. Unfortunately, this is not how the courts have decided this should be handled. In US v Auernheimer the question is whether publicly accessible and sequential (read: guessable) routes being accessed by those they're not intended for is criminal. The improper venue appeal has nothing to do with the essence and spirit of this segment of case law, it means that the suit was brought forward improperly. That act itself was deemed criminal, otherwise Auernheimer would have remained safely in Arkansas rather than absconding to the then-stateless Republic of Abkhazia.

Saying all of this, it is important to me that I communicate to you Ethbr0, that I'm responding objectively and not at all trying to tell you that I feel one way or the other, or that I am judging you as criminal. If that's how this was taken, I wholeheartedly apologize. You are free to do what you want, and you're granted the right to speak freely publicly. To me it doesn't seem like a good idea to say what you said, and I would not act similarly, but I will not judge you for doing what you feel is right.
The author seems to be doing exactly what he repeatedly claims not to be doing: being cute with his phrasing. He tells you he's going to make a case for fraud ceterus parabus, then actually argues fraud naturally arises through tradeoffs, which anyone who has ever made any kind of decision should be aware of. He wasted my time and had nothing insightful to say.

Long-winded article, but an important subject for discussion.

A business which has draconian policies can go downhill pretty fast. Facebook, maybe?
I have mixed feelings about brew; it’s very convenient but the one time I reported a bug I instantly got banned and yelled at because of my wording. It was very one-sided as I wasn’t able to apologize or even explain due to the insta-ban. My one other interaction with brew community was similar; absolutely any critique is taken as a holy war.

I’d really rather Apple made it unnecessary to plug this hole and render brew redundant.

ADD: for the record my “offense” was saying “Are you for real?” when they screwed up and reverted back to an ancient version. I was shocked by that lack of QA but sure, I could have said it better. Still, cancel culture meant the end of that conversation.

I quit using homebrew after the auto-update-everything kicked in as part of installing some new tiny utility. Both Apple and homebrew had transitioned away from supporting my OS recently... several working versions of software were uninstalled, then something failed to build, leaving behind a total disaster.

I wouldn't even consider using it again without HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1. MacPorts has been good to me, it even has an ncdu1 package since Zig doesn't support legacy macOS either.

My computer wakes up randomly in the night, I've always assumed it was due to the mouse moving a pixel from random vibration of my desk.

And, side note, would it be too much to ask that after a billion dev-hours effort in to the most popular consumer OS on earth, that it could figure out that a 1-pixel movement at 3:28 AM does not mean I want my display to light up and stay on for a full 60 seconds? And while we're at it, why is the only way to send Windows to sleep (one of the most common things I do with a hotkey) a four-key combination (win+x,u,s)?
>It does not get repeated because it would suggest that sea level changes are natural

Sea level changes are absolutely natural and have fluctuated wildly over the history of the planet. The sea level was 360 feet lower 13,000 years ago. Certainly human activity has a measurable effect on the environment but it is simply absurd to pretend that our environment (including sea levels) isn't in a constant state of flux.
It’s a Southern thing. Alabama isn’t much better. It’s the worst place to have a child in the entire country. We have people without access to fresh water or sewer systems. We have people living in conditions worse than anything I ever saw in Haiti. And we keep voting to actively make it worse.

Tangentially related question: are there any plans to permit Cloudflare users to configure proxying directly to onion hidden services?

Given the current controversy, it would be much more reassuring to enter an .onion address rather than an IP address, to be entirely sure that servers can't be unmasked. At least not without compromising Tor or exploiting the proxied-to web server.
