Actually, future you will be confused. And if your project scope increases, then you might become less effective.

I highly encourage you to use a project issue tracking system even for yourself. Describe the issues before doing them. Also describe the current state of the system in a wiki. Keep it up-to-date. Then you can attract people to make changes here and there and take ownership of small parts of your system.

The main principle is that the producer should spend 3x as much time on refining and presenting what they have done, because that will save each consumer a little bit of time and has compounding effects.
Ah, good point, TipTap may be overkill if OP doesn’t want to edit it at all.
Considering the topic here, I'd call the DCSS one anti-retro, since by default the website gives you a tiles-based interface (which is commendably good looking, for a free game made entirely by volunteers). You can configure it to replace the graphical tiles with tiles containing the original console glyphs, but as a console player it never looks quite right (though I'll admit that the persistent minimap, which is exclusive to the web interface, is dead useful).
I think it’s rather a pragmatic approach. Fixing that behavior breaks some patterns for which the language doesn’t yet offer reasonable alternatives.
Yes, and? Are you under the impression those other regimes wouldn't be doing those things after they had gained superpower status?

Because if they would, then this point isn’t relevant to which is preferable, is it?

Yeah, it's essentially used as a javascript expression solver. You can see the full extent of its capabilities in the testsuite: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/test/test...

The specific site modules in youtube-dl will take care to extract the bare minimum necessary to solve whatever challenge.
I'm not big on Minecraft, but because my kids enjoy it, I run a few instances of the official server.jar. Even on a fairly beefy shared-use server (on which I do some development with a friend), MC can get pretty choppy, which really surprises me. I should try out Feather to see if it can handle the load better.
> To me it smells like a vanity play, unless you’re doing it so you can get another 100k per year.

Hehe, it’s vanity unless you’re only doing it for money? This is twisted! ;)

> The world is moving to a place where degrees are no longer worth what they were in almost every profession

Do you have any stats or data to back this up? This is a common trope here and elsewhere (ala “Joe the Plumber”), but it seems to be largely not true AFAICT. The St. Louis Fed recently published a paper [1] arguing degree holders are saving less over time. The problem is, it was misleading because savings was measured relative to income (they’re suggesting that someone with $100k salary and $1M in savings is better off that someone with a $200k salary and $1.9M in savings.) And in the paper they demonstrated conclusively that in the US, 4-year degree holders earn on average 2x what non-degree-holders earn. And advanced degree holders (master’s, PhD, doctors, lawyers) earn on average 3x what non-degree holders earn (and 50% more than bachelors). Three times! This data isn’t a statistical sampling, BTW, the Fed has data on all US citizens.

As someone who’s generally in favor of education for education’s sake, I was blown away by how high the income premium of degrees is, I thought the bachelor’s degree might be worth something like 15% extra income, maybe. 2x and 3x averages are simply freaking enormous, and TBH a bit concerning how high they are. It’s hard to justify numbers that large, similar to what’s happened to CEO pay in the US. But with this in mind, it’s easy to see why parents push their kids to university, and why the costs have been going up and up and up.

So based on the Fed’s data, it seems like your summary here could be the opposite of good advice? Shouldn’t people know if having a degree generally enables a different lifestyle? I don’t doubt your friends’ experience; it is possible your anecdotal sampling doesn’t match this data. Averages are averages, and degrees definitely do not guarantee any specific income for any specific person. But the part your argument completely fails to address is the credentialism of advanced degrees - the number of jobs not available to anyone without one. The research teams in large corps for example are generally PhDs, it’s very hard to get in otherwise.

It didn't matter if you did have a cellphone, the network was completely overloaded all day, getting a call through was unlikely.

Rust promised to not introduce breaking changes willy nilly since 1.0.0. If the change would break some previously working code, they need to go through a deprecation period. This is probably the issue here.
One thing I hate scientists saying is that whenever a claim comes up, they say “There’s no evidence for that.”

That’s true - there’s no evidence if you aren’t looking.

Thus, they were able to say countless things and rebut the critics with “there’s no evidence of that.” There’s no evidence that an lockdown will cause massive suffering or severe economic downturns that don’t recover easily, or that it will make a potential war easier. And here we are.

Some more context - this the first deployment of the BRS system in their flagship; the Vision Jet.

The Vision Jet is also the only turbine (jet) engine powered aircraft with such a system.

It also boasts the Garmin Safe Return system; where the autopilot lands the aircraft in case of Pilot incapacitation - doing everything from radio calls, selecting the appropriate airport and runway, flying the approach and landing to a stop.
8 GB on an M1 or M2 is not the same as 8 GB on an Intel-based device; the memory bandwidth is significantly higher. A 2x factor (Apple Silicon 8/16 GB vs Intel 16/32) seems about right.

I agree, I'm lucky that in my career I've been exposed so many different disciplines of Network and Linux administration that I know (mostly) what "the cloud" is made of.

So when problems do occur, I can make some pretty good guesses on what's wrong before I actually know for sure.
I think you've summarized my more vague feelings well. Add to this that people uncomfortable with the actions taken range from nut-job conspiracy theorists to immature opposition-defiance disorder sufferers to those who took many precautions but put aggregate quality of life over quantity. Then look at the down-voting in this thread spanning the spectrum of opinions... It's going to be hard to reach any sort of nuanced consensus or agreement.

Right, but a positive screen is usually followed up with a more specific test (karyotype, cvs, amniocentesis) which can give a definitive diagnosis.

Also the screen has a sensitivity of 95% with a positive test indicating > 1/300 chance in Down’s syndrome, so the screening is not nearly THAT bad
There's no need to store a year's worth of electrical production. In most cases, a few hours is more than sufficient. Widespread shortfalls are better addressed via grid supply than storage. It might be necessary to have bridging power for a few days, possibly a few weeks, but this is still far from annual-scale in either fraction of production or duration of utilisation.

Synfuels (petroleum analogues), again, though round-trip inefficient are sufficiently energy-dense and long-term storage stable that they might serve for emergency long-term standby capacity. It's useful for other needs (industrial feedstocks and transportation fuels in aviation and marine shipping) so that some supply would likely be necessary regardless. Having standby / idle generation plant would be a capital and maintenance factor, but not impossible. There's well over a century of experience in storing strategic reserves of petroleum in both artificial and naturally-occurring storage facilities.
#2 is an attempted defense of our publicly elected officials lying, supposedly for the greater good. Let’s not start that precedent.

I was saying #2 even as it happened, though. To me it was always obvious that masks would provide _some_ protection, just not perfect protection.

> As for the masks, they completely ignored other hazards now becoming more well known. The amount of micro-plastics and fibers in the lungs is going to be awful long-term and it gets worse the more we know.

As we started to understand the mortality rate from covid, this becomes a good point. During the first couple of months, though, while deaths were still rising exponentially (also corresponding to the time slot where we were told NOT to wear mask), we did not know the real mortality rate. It could have been significantly higher than it turned out to be.

Still, during those months, there were not enough of the masks to go around.
Other commenters have mentioned how liberating the experience of solo development can be: the freedom from deadlines and constraints; the ability to translate a vision or goal into code quickly; the chance to step away from the project for days/weeks/months with no guilty feelings. For me, the greatest liberation has been to explore different approaches to established practices, uncover surprising ways to achieve various graphical effects, etc.

But there's also a couple of downsides that I've encountered while solo-developing my canvas library:

- Side tracking. It is really, really easy to get side-tracked into adding stuff to the library which doesn't need to be part of the library. For instance, I love the work I've done to add a coherent graphical filters system to the library - but it has also added a lot of lines of code. Similarly with the particle physics system: the results are very satisfying, but is it necessary?

- Loneliness. While I love working on my library, the lack of a surrounding community of contributors and users can (occasionally) leave me questioning why I'm doing this work, who I'm doing it for. At the end of the day, if others don't find my library useful, then maybe I should have spent that time contributing to someone else's vision/project - what if my work is just me being selfish?
I have a major project (a general-purpose data management system) that I have been working on for 10 years. https://www.Didgets.com

I have had a few friends help out with some pieces, but 99%+ of the work I have done alone. I also have some people who I can discuss the architecture with but I don't need anyone's permission to make a radical change.

The project is so big that I can't possibly do it all by myself and I have had to learn quite a bit outside my area of expertise (file systems and databases). Even though I could have done it faster with a big team, it is liberating to have full control over a project.

As someon who was a child at the time, I remember September 11th in the context of fear and the sense of unity it created shortly thereafter. It's interesting to me to go back and look at the way adults reacted, which was mostly anger. It's surprising how calmly the US government reacted compared to normal people. When Afghanistan refused to extradite Bin Laden most of the people I knew wanted to start nuking Afghan cities one by one until they changed their mind.
Why not just say things matter to persons with desires. We all create our own meaning. Avoiding pain matters “to me”. Why wouldn’t it matter just because I’m not eternal?

Great article.

The amount of things I've learned by going it alone on past and present projects...

Working alone meant I could do things at my own pace, be the 'benevolent dictator' to myself, and to style a look & feel for my Thing(s) the way I want it to be.

As an example, my ongoing project which is a 3rd party app for Explorers in Elite: Dangerous: https://captainslog.scarygliders.net/captains-log-2/

Python, PySide, sqlalchemy, etc. Even a bit of HTML, javascript and CSS for things like the animated logo in the About window which is a QWebView, and some other web views which I managed to blend in with the Qt widgets. There was so much to learn and so much has been learned, and even that's an ongoing process.

I could open source it, and have pondered exactly that over the years, but I just don't want the extra overhead of "herding cats" - props to those who can and do such though. In fact I have open sourced a couple of things but - perhaps thankfully - no one seemed that interested in participating.
That’s because there are no holes. It’s just forces acting on each other. That model was always confusing to me.
Domains may not experience scarcity per se, but desirableness quickly falls of as the strings get more random.

I disagree. That is, when teaching C, I never gave examples avoiding any aliasing, and if it somehow came up, I advised against it. But I don't think it's a good idea to invest teaching time in compiler options regarding aliasing; it's too specific for an introductory C course.

At your school perhaps. I was slightly younger than you when this happened. I was home from school early for reasons I don't remember, and watched everything unfold on TV (I do remember that part).

I don't remember if I got my first phone before or after this - I think maybe after, but I am honestly very unsure. I can tell you it was a 2nd hand 3310. Not everyone in school had one, because not everyone could afford it. Some people's parents didn't have them; most people's grandparents didn't. Landlines reigned supreme, and MSN whenever that arrived (still had a few friends without internet then, I was on dialup, a few people got broadband the year after).

I don't remember anyone using WAP really ever^. I don't really remember when mobile internet actually took off seriously but I remember a friend posting to facebook and getting updates via SMS in 2008/2009. Cool that you did use WAP, but you were likely a minority and that's nothing compared to the ubiquity of LTE connections of today.

^One of my friend's Dads worked for Vodafone at the time. Their HQ was commutable from where we lived. I discussed C++ with him a lot. I still don't remember anyone using WAP and they had staff discount, so your 12p/10p SMS was 2p for them. I only knew what WAP was because I read about it in PC Pro.
So many examples of this across Google it's not even funny.
I know California has a reputation for being unlike the rest of America, but I’m fairly sure they don’t use Euros.

As even the best places in Europe are worse for PV than almost everywhere in CA, and yet PV is working adequately even in bits of Europe as rubbish as the UK (which is more like southern Alaska), the meme that PV is “just for California” needs to go the way of the dodo: https://solargis.com/maps-and-gis-data/download/world
Personally, I want to see The Lord of the Rings given the Game of Thrones treatment: a TV series, with six seasons (one for each book), and at least a dozen episodes each season.

In that format Bombadil will make an excellent episode. In anything shorter it makes a lot of sense to leave him out. I agree that Jackson spent too much time showing battles, but it wasn't my movie to make.

Thank you for yes-anding the linear algebra metaphor :)

After I wrote the original comment, I started thinking, even if you accept that hobbies / skills / preferences are a vector, what is the model where it makes sense to multiply vectors together? Then I thought, what if every time people encountered each other there was a kind of vector multiplication, about the salient aspects of their vectors? And this resultant "encounter vector" served to motivate the encounter, and potentially update each person's original "personality" vector? And day-to-day life could sometimes result in self-multiplication, depending on what you're doing.

That seemed fruitful, though obv very incomplete. I mention it in case you want to return volley :)

You took your time thinking about your excuses. The fact is that you weren't the slightest bit aware of the magnitude or direction of NHS funding. You just assumed it must be down because that's the only reason the godlike public services could fail.

> The numbers you cite represent a real-terms fall after inflation despite the population growing about 8% in that time

Who made the population grow like that? Isn't it usually the same people who tend to champion mass immigration and socialized health care? Have you ever spoken up about the tension between these two issues?

Who made the inflation? Isn't it usually the same people who champion centralized fractional reserve banking with easy money who want socialized health care? Or are you in the inflation threads arguing for limiting inflation to "Save the NHS".

> AND a reduction as a proportion of GDP.

Is that even true? Can you show some math?
And who says health care costs have to keep up with GDP? Are we just supposed run faster in place like we are in a hamster wheel where every bit of increased production is just eaten up by rising costs?
