First off, some of your comments have referred to ad-blocking being wrong due to conflict with existing business models.

Businesses are not entitled to the success of their business models. If a business model fails due to consumer behavior, the business was in the wrong for expecting different behavior.

> I would be fine with ad blockers that only blocked ads, as long as publishers could chose to refuse service to users running ad blockers or ask them to turn their ad blocker off.

Distracting content (most ads), color schemes with bad contrast, bright images on dark pages, etc. are accessibility hazards (particularly cognitive accessibility hazards). Restricting the use of page-alteration software (e.g. color and font alteration, disabling images, and blocking frames) is therefore a discriminatory practice.

> The part of your analogy where you say people who want burgers don't have any other choice seems not to fit: you can eat other foods which don't have this requirement, just like there are lots of places on the internet where you can exchange money for ad-free content.

The default behavior on the Web is one in which user-agents set their terms, and websites must agree to them: https://seirdy.one/notes/2022/08/12/user-agents-set-the-term...

The libertarian perspective is a two-way street. Nobody is forcing a person to publish content on the Web. If the "comply with the user's wishes" model of the Web is problematic to a content creator, they don't need to participate in the Web.

If you ever see the midnight premiere of a new movie you may be in for a treat. Assuming the film wasn't screened elsewhere already, really rough plot edits usually roll in right afterwards. Recently I saw the movie Nope not realizing it was the premiere and had this experience. If anyone's curious here's the version I read right after [0].

Since then I've tried to go backwards on articles and see them in their original forms.

I don’t buy it personally. The logic you give to suggest we don’t have a responsibility to help others seems like it would also just as well imply we can feel free to hurt others, and I disagree with that.

Finally, within the frame of our social existence: we enjoy a lot of benefits that we inherit from our ancestors and I think it’s our responsibility to pay that forward to future generations. We should maintain what we have inherited and if possible improve the state of things as well. But, of course, we should also be concerned with our personal enjoyment as well.
> The real learning I guess is to not be discouraged by existing products

This applies to the real world a lot too. If you have a lot of competitors in your space, it's a good sign because the market has already been validated. It's obviously best to be the first in a good market but it's hard to predict whether the market is good when you're the only one playing.

In games I think the principle applies even more because gamers often want to play more of the same and once they finish all the Overcooked content another game that fills that need will work. Plate Up has also gotten popularized by many streamers and YouTubers playing it.

Since you can sell a retailer brand to an entirely new company, it should be possible for anything to come back as long as you don’t count it actually being a different thing.

It isn't. These places are a thousand miles apart, these occurences are years apart, and they happened for completely different reasons.

In Flint's case, their local government just did something stupid. That's not a "pattern of poor water quality."
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I don’t think this viewpoint is supported by any established law at least as far as I’m aware.

Sadly, this is why books by celebrities or with a TV or movie tie in are the first to be published and have the most marketing spend.
A sample of 75% of retail sales is a substantially larger sample than, say, the estimates by the US Census.

You need to change your mindset. I.e. as a founder you should become a content creator which is different from a regular peer social contact. I.e. the amount of people in your network should increase 100X but you will not know most of them.

The best way is to become a B2B creator in linked in.

As a creator you should be ready to add value to your network in any post. It is a lot of free work, but the main goal is to gain trust.

Once you have the trust, you can start asking the network to be customers, etc.

> I've come to understand it as both the rarity of creators, and of the need to create.

That's an elitist attitude and probably the opposite of what Asimov intended [0]. Any child can create. Give a child a pen and paper or clay or bricks or anything and they will create. It takes years of schooling to drum that instinct out of them, to make them give up because they've been taught about someone else who did it better, to convince them to follow someone else's path, an established profession. Profession presents a dystopia where only the elitist of the elite are allowed any creativity.

US cities boomed in the 20th century and are geographically large, with large infrastructure. The gradual collapse of industry has led to such cities emptying out to the suburbs beyond a city’s relatively tight administrative boundary, particularly since the 1980s. The ever-reducing tax base is unable to maintain the boom-time infrastructure.

Cities are blue and so in a red state the government sits back and lets it fail, while the federal government is powerless to intervene until the point of failure. Many other factors layer on top but this is the core of the issue.

Interestingly where I grew up in the U.K. this situation would be impossible because the cities boomed in the Victorian era and so are more compact while the administrative boundary of the city spans a much larger area, including suburbs of the core city itself, so the rise of motorcar suburbanites did not deprive the city of its tax base. We experienced the same trend - the collapse of industry in parallel with the rise of the motorcar leading to wealthy suburbs and a poor urban core. But we had the money to invest in redevelopment.
I think it goes without saying that since I stated fork() is terrible that I am not advocating for spawning new processes via any of the variants of exec() since they all depend on fork(). I directly stated posix_spawn() was the right technique (despite its deficiencies and a somewhat terrible interface).

My point was that embryonic processes aren't really the right solution since they require exposing a whole bunch to powerful primitives like read/write of remote address spaces in order to spawn processes. That ends up being slow (because each one of those calls is necessarily a syscall and requires manipulating page tables to mess with the other process). It also means to prevent abuse you need to be very carefully control when to revoke those privileges.

The obvious solution is to take all the operations you would have done to the remote process, encode them in some form, and pass them off to a secure agent (in this case the kernel) that can do them in bulk. That solves both perf issues (1 syscall, and no repeated round tripping through multiple address spaces), and the security issue (you no longer need to expose primitives to manipulate the remote process to every process that is allowed to spawn a new one).

Yes! I ran Coherent 4.0 on a 386SX laptop when I was in high school (before moving to Linux.) Coherent had incredible documentation, something that is very rare today. I still remember that book with the shell on it, and learned a ton about systems administration and POSIX programming from it.

actually it would cost engineering time/money. those engineers are likely contractors or some of the highest paid folks at the paper who are likely barely staffed and dealing with the page load of a big article.
The first article is about trash collection. It might show accusations of corruption, but otherwise doesn't seem related to water.

The second article never alleges corruption. It does say Governor Reeves "[never spoke] to the mayor directly about the ongoing crisis." I'm not sure if the whole crisis is about the number of water operators, which it focuses on.
Nothing of what you read in this article… ever happened.
Thank you! Good luck as well. I'd love to learn what you're working on if you are open to sharing.

I would disagree with that as well. I'd simply argue that the reason why we shouldn't feel free to hurt others is because we likely wouldn't want others to hurt us, and their feelings are just as valid as ours.
haha, Got it! Thank you. I will try it out!

There are some sections about physical copies of documentation and managing the logistics of that when I read it.
The main issue is that water system maintenance in the US is funded by the locality. The locality may be a city, town, county, or some other kind of governmental overlay.

Some localities have dedicated funding sources for the water system, and some localities pull the funding from the general fund. As an example, my water bills are paid directly to a water company, which is a public utility company that handles all the water stuff. Other cities might issue the bills, collect the water money, and spend it on "something else."

The main issue IMO is that maintenance can be expensive, and nobody really notices if you defer maintenance for 30 years until the system fails. Until then you can spend that water money on pet projects and retire. At that point it's someone else's problem.

The same issue occurs with road and bridge maintenance, which are usually prime targets for politicians looking for money to fund their projects. Very few cities in the US spend enough money on road/bridge/infrastructure maintenance, because other constituencies want that money.

In many ways that's why water districts that are politically independent are better, but I've never seen any actual surveys on that.
>This is an attempt to technically excuse away a tool that you always treat as loaded until confirmed otherwise and you never point at something unless you intend to destroy what you’re pointing at.

Same logic applies to line throwers, flare guns, seed shotguns, pyrotechnic shells, the myriad uses of a 40mm grenade launcher i fail to see your point. Something can be dangerous without it's primary use being kill someone, or else power cords would be classed as deadly weapons.

>There is a large canyon between “guns for everyone” and “take away all the guns”, and room for improvement as it relates to harm reduction.

Uh huh, and what the plan is is to eventually put in place enough friction that no one would bother buying more, then sit and wait for the old stuff to age out, right? That's not reasonable though, right, because we haven't gone through a century of having the thumbs screws applied to firearms in myriad ways; because we haven't had the mere presence, but non employment of a firearm turned into an escalation criteria from misdemeanor to felony with statutory sentencing stapled on? Because firearms haven't been "regulated" through a constitutional backdoor whereby the means of legally owning something has been mandated to have no Federal budget spent on it's upkeep, thereby infringing on a 2nd Amendment via indirection.

Sorry, not sorry. I'm more than read up on that minutiae. I know the arguments, and most of them degenerate down to "I don't feel safe other people are free to own those things." To which my response is, tough luck.

You want harm reduction? Maybe start looking at the core problem. Stop architecting the economic system to massively favor the capital wielding class. Pay people fairly, stop looking for fiscal growth potential for it's own sake, and decrease the overall risk of merely existing by rendering sane the medical infrastructure. Reinstate public works where necessary to create and upkeep infrastructure while increasing economic mobility and bounceback potential.

People tend to be much less violent when the game isn't so blantantly tilted in someone else's favor.
Wow, I had strong suspicions Google was dicks (because of too much anti-user BS in their products) but here is proof!
It’s deterministic, doesn’t scan memory, and the program only runs the exact instructions you see in its binary instead of stopping and having some part of the runtime appear from nowhere and change things. So… it’s not garbage collection, it’s a dual to it.

Rust avoids copies and occasionally proves single ownership instead of having RCs. This seems to me to be overoptimization and a waste of programmer time. Copies are fine and you don’t need to prove them away.

You're right, the book does not present Objectory, just the fundamental ideas. But RUP was the continuation of the "Rational Objectory Process", which was Objectory gradually using UML instead of the original diagrams. The fellow referred to Jacobson's consulting company and RUP and UML, not Jacobson's text book. I still have the original Objectory documentation, and even asked Jacobson many years ago whether they could open source the Objectory tool, but unfortunately that didn't happen yet (at least not to my knowledge).
Also, metro area balkanization is sometimes the point; a wealthy area of Atlanta recently tried to secede. Merging them is out of the question too as a political third rail.

Regional balkanization has a lot of issues; not only are poor areas left with few resources and projects lack coordination and get expensively duplicated, but also they tend to compete with each other to offer tax breaks to companies, and in the end the region gives a big tax break to a company that most likely would’ve located somewhere in the region anyways.
I know that I know nothing is a very important realization, though, and if a lot of words helps someone else realize that they know nothing, too, it's probably worth it.

So, historically, and I'd say even today, a lot of art is pretty technical. imagine you're sitting around in 1550 and decide to paint a painting, you've got to gather up some boar bristles to make your brushes. You've got to source some lapis lazuli for a nice rich blue. Maybe some cadmium for red, and suspend all that into some sort of oil.

Furthermore, a lot of historical art, like ceramics was really practical. At the root of it, folks wanted a way to carry around liquids. There's a lot of tricks around clay and glazing to make something. to our modern ears, a silversmith makes jewelry, but really they'd spend a lot of time making forks and spoons and such.

I can't really answer the question "what is art?". but I feel really comfortably saying an artist is someone who tries to pull off a task, the cool way. I know that's vague. But anybody who's good at anything will know there's a way that'll work for sure, and there's another way that's, just, cooler. A flourish of skill that probably no one will ever notice, but is really really neat.

I don't know you, and I don't know your work. But if you ever want to call your self an artist, there's at least one other person out there that would agree with you.

Isn't that pretty similar to how people consume everything else? With books, people tend to pick genres. "Regency era humorous romance novels with a cinnamon role love interest," "pop science economics books," "supernatural murder mystery." Heck, "Adventure about a character reincarnated in a fantasy world with video game mechanics" is still broad enough to be an entire genre (hello out there, all you LitRPG people!). In that context, a second time management cooking game doesn't seem at all odd to me. Certainly it's a breath of fresh air from first person shooter #918738.
