It's typically new players that disrupt legacy incumbents.

There are exceptions, such as monopolistic conglomerates with multiple industry-spanning revenue streams to draw down.

But by and large, new tech cycles bring new blood and fresh perspectives that grow fast free of accumulated baggage.

Would existing players be willing to invest 90% of their energy in pursuing these new methods (that are risky), potentially firing the staff that maintain the existing systems? Unlikely. And so it's unlikely that they could grow as fast against a 100% agile new upstart. One that attracts talent and capital and has a promising growth narrative.

Innovator's Dilemma.
Real talk, a tiny home we’ll equipped will run $40k to $100k; you only get close to the low end with lower end materials and supplying the labor yourself (I’ve helped build and haul to their final location more than one).

With that said, the greatest challenge is the stigma of a trailer park. The local community NIMBYs fight hard to not permit new communities from being established (speaking as someone who optioned a parcel of land in central Florida for this purpose and had to go plead the case at planning meetings), and existing ones are getting snapped up by private equity and real estate investors to turn the financial screws on people who have nowhere else to go.

I think this model works as a coop or non profit land trust, where the resident owns the home but the community protects their stake in the lot. Think “A Tiny Home For Good” Tiny Home Park Edition. You need to defend against the Capital vultures.

Sorry those didn’t pan out! I’m not sure I would actually pay for such an app since I only do jigsaw puzzles every few years. But it is fun to know it has been done and could be done again.
Makes me think of Kremlinology techniques (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlinology#Techniques), the art of interpreting small observations as hints and filling in the gaping holes in one’s understanding using a combination of common sense and wishful thinking, with questionable results.

For example, the article says:

“An example of the second one was during WWDC in 2014. It was observed that in the iOS 7 beta the clock icon was actually moving. A few months later, Apple went on to announce the Apple Watch in 2015.”

I don’t believe the argument that the first was done to test out the second. The time between those releases was too short to get feedback from customers, and if they wanted internal feedback, they could have used a private build of iOS, or, likely, a prerelease version of the Apple Watch (WWDC 2014 was in early June, and the Apple Watch was announced in early September 2014)
"Random time zone offset changes are not."

Are you saying that our computer systems are so inflexible that we cannot make them do our bidding? The issue here has nothing to do with whether daylight saving is appropriate or not, rather it's about the inability of computers to adapt quickly.

When I was studying computing I had a textbook titled Problems for Computer Solution, it was about how to get computers to do our bidding - not vice versa!

“We wanted to simplify the process for people to create music."

A synthesizer would have been a fun touch that actually helped with the music production side of things. A well thought out and reasonably priced unit would also be an interesting way to get kids into the field. Ikea partnered with Teenage Engineering, I'm surprised they didn't even go as far as co-branding a pocket operator.

Yes, many tz-related difficulties indeed arise from the future uncertainty and UX complexity to deal with that uncertainty. A conscious decision would be required and can't be easily delegated to someone else.
don't try to make TS work within code that is rendering stuff. Major frameworks put in lots of effort to support TS in the view layer and, with some exceptions, it usually comes with caveats

I’m really not sure what problems you have in mind here. I’ve found TS to be really useful with very few caveats.

The biggest problem you’re likely to hit in TS is when things subtly lose their strong typing accidentally -- for example, you need to use some API that works with untyped JSON blobs. But the you’re no worse off than if you were just using plain JS in the first place.

TS is especially great when you’re using libraries with good type annotations -- your IDE can give you useful live typechecking and autocompletion, even if your own code is in JS!

In React code, TS is really good because you can statically check your prop types. There is a little bit of a learning curve to doing that both correctly and tersely, but I think it’s more than worth the effort.

As the OP specifically said they wanted strong typing, TS seems like an obvious choice over vanilla JS. I suppose you could consider other things like Flow or Reason, but TS is the most widely-used by far.
I think home quality is well above gas/electricity prices in terms of freezing to death in the winter. For example UK and Ireland are known to have relatively worse housing than central Europe for the climate they have to endure, so they have a high Excess Winter Mortality. A country like Finland, with probably the best houses in the world, have one of the lowest EWM of Europe, despite being one of the coldest countries.

But I have not doubt that EWM will be weaponized this winter.
> With solar and wind, fuel mining is zero, forever.

well, you have to first build the solar panels/wind turbines. And then some fuel to power up the gas /oil plants that'll pick up the slack when there's no wind and sun; or you build over the required needs and add batteries (or other power storage methods).
Dont forget state registered SMS (NemSMS)
Even though ownership and borrowing are theoretically orthogonal, they're both needed to make a complete safe system (the context was about managing memory for safety, not merely having a syntax sugar for malloc/free.)

Unique ownership prevents leaks and double-free, and borrow checking prevents use-after-free. Borrowing is necessary to temporarily relax the exclusivity of uniquely-owned objects and access their interior. Access to interior of a unique_ptr (and shared_ptr) decays it to a reference or a bare pointer that is not managed by the smart pointer any more, and can be left dangling. Borrow checker eliminates the manual "be careful not to leave dangling pointers" part.

This is exactly the way I see it. I view the bar for developer responsibility to be much higher than some others do. I suspect it's because I come from the world of information security where we deal very directly with the consequences of not having a higher bar.

To me, the idea that a new language would be anything other than entirely memory safe, unless it is very domain specific to areas where that's not important, is just another example of developers lowering the bar. And I'm fine calling that out and being called a zealot or whatever.
But this is one more reason to save the timezone and stop calculating on current data?

If we're so far removed from the raw struggle to keep body and soul together that we can not only play Y, but have competition Z surrounding Y, then we are truly succeeding.
Can't go wrong with TypeScript + React. You can use ViteJS to bootstrap your project and build an optimized version for production. VSCode for a good TypeScript developer experience. Recommend to check out React Router and React Query if you go with React.

I personally still use vanilla CSS instead of the many other alternatives. I keep 1 CSS file per page/component (e.g. directory "Home" > index.tsx + index.css) and add a class at the root of my page/component (e.g. <div className="home">) and then prefix every rule in this directory with this class (e.g. .home .something-inside-this-page). It keeps everything easily manageable and avoids CSS conflicts. Check out grid (vertical and horizontal layout) and flex (vertical or horizontal layout) if you are not familiar with these "modern" CSS features, they make everything simpler.

Oh this is interesting, I’ll have to give it a try. I’ve got a circa 2005 Intuos3 9x12 that I currently use with official drivers hacked to run on modern macOS[0], but their functionality isn’t perfect (bits of its System Preferences settings pane are broken, mainly) and presumably the hack won’t continue to work forever.

There's a 15 minute documentary about the takeover of the mobile housing industry by large conglomerates: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9DQa3Ajhzv8

The key takeaway is that many/most of the people living in this kind of housing cannot afford the expense of moving it (video gives a price tag of around $5000), especially on short notice. Older mobile homes may not have enough remaining structural integrity to be moved at all. Meanwhile the land their house is on is rented and they can still be evicted from the land at anytime which typically results in the loss of the home that they "own".

This catch 22 means that residents are seen as ripe for rent and fee increases since moving means losing their investment in the home.

I'm sure mobile housing is great for middle class people looking for a nomadic lifestyle where they plan to move their home from time to time. As low-income housing though, it seems mobile homes are in a nasty grey area between renting and owning.

> Point the domain at your home IP.

This doesn't really work, if you're behind carrier grade NAT and inbound traffic gets dropped.

For example, I tried having a homelab where 2 of my servers would be publicly accessible, could join Docker Swarm/Kubernetes clusters that would be controlled from other cloud VPSes or vice versa, but couldn't really do that.

I did actually document how I worked around it by having 2 cheap VPSes with static IP addresses that forwarded traffic to my local servers, with the local servers being the ones to establish the connection with WireGuard in my blog post "How to publicly access your homelab behind NAT": https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/how-to-publicly-access-you...

Of course, forwarding all ports (even if most are closed) might be a little bit insane and the article could be written better, but definitely not everyone gets publicly accessible IPs from their ISP without opening their wallet and forking over some cash (getting a VPS and using WireGuard was easier).

Then again, having a homelab and using personal hardware for hosting non-essential stuff is a pretty great approach! You'll most likely be able to get resources much cheaper than renting VPSes from most providers (especially AWS, Azure and GCP) would be in the long term. That said, things like my homepage or blog are hosted "in the cloud" due to this allowing me to break my homelab or have maintenance windows whenever I want without inconveniencing anyone.
SQL database was a large amount of tables alike and if you try to add a feature that it doesn't implement yet (such as drop shipping capabilities) I couldn't figure it out because its not as simple as creating a new set of forms like in Django you basically have to understand the whole system and I think the task would take a year.

It would have been better to integrate an existing system instead.
This is a very poorly written SQL..
Try some modern syntax:
select DISTINCT
sale_person_id,
sale_person_name,
max(no_products_sold) over (partition by sale_person_id) AS max_products_sold,
commission_percentage,
sales_department
from no_products_sold;
I love the simplicity of this idea because for lots of sites the database works just fine as a queue backend and it reduces the amount of infrastructure needed. I currently use https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue for https://devmarks.io which also uses the database to store tasks instead of a dedicated queue infrastructure. `Django Q` also has an option to use the database, but I haven't tested it at all: https://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html#orm. And if you are already running `redis` for your site, https://github.com/rq/django-rq is another option.

The one benefit of this package is that it is async-first which will be beneficial as Django continually adds in more async capabilities. Nice work! I'm looking forward to trying this out and seeing how it works!

The truth is that what you actually do at work doesn’t really matter. The important thing is how your work is perceived and that is a function of how well you are liked which itself correlated with common background, cultural similarity and essentially innate quality of trustworthiness (there’s research on this).

Let me give you an example of how this can play out. Say you do the dirty work no one wants to do. These are are all possible outcomes:

- you get stuck with that and it becomes expected of you

- people feel that area still sucks so you didn’t have a lot of impact

- people really value your impact

- you’re viewed as having initiative and tackling hard problems

- you’re viewed as not tracking org priorities and instead doing work nobody cares about

- you get more opportunity to work in high profile projects because of your efforts

- you get less opportunities because you’re too essential in your dirty work

- you get less opportunities because you’re viewed as not working in what’s high impact

- you will get no credit for avoiding a catastrophic failure that didn’t happen. Worse, people may wonder what you’ve been doing (y2k anyone?)

All of these narratives can be constructed from the same set of facts. Part of this relies on your ability to communicate. A bigger part is networking. But the biggest factor of all is whether or not they like you.

For those out of the loop, people have been sharing screenshots of the screen transitions from Mitchell's videos and MAME since at least 2018 as evidence he cheated. This isn't new information. What is new is that rather than simply showing the screenshots, Tanner Fokkens has dissected the code from the original Donkey Kong ROM to prove that the footage could not have been generated from the original cabinet. He then analyzed the MAME code to demonstrate why MAME renders the way it does to prove that Mitchell's footage matches a version of MAME that would have been available to download at the time the footage was recorded.

This is similar to when the speedrunner OmniGamer analyzed the source code to Dragster to prove that Todd Rogers faked his world record footage and subsequent Guinness record.
Why do you think rooftop solar is only going to be single digit? Is it down to the cost/complexity of installation compared to greenfield solar setups?

Instinctively it feels like there is a huge amount of unused roof area in the UK that could be put to good use. But I feel like it might not be as much as I think once direction is taken into account.

The first seven years of my career were spent mostly fixing crashes in a mainframe OS. When I first came to California, there were two piles of crash dump printouts six feet high waiting for me. Gradually I worked down the pile,
and time between crashes went from hours to months.

Then I got into high-security operating system development for DoD, which led to proof of correctness, networking, and other theory. The aerospace company was happy to hire someone who'd been deep inside a major operating system and had fixed that many crash-type bugs. I was happy to pivot to the problems of designing reliable and secure systems.
