Your hyperboles aside, I don't think there's much to prove. Maintained and long lasting forks abound. Enough to instill confidence in the principle.

If Figma was open source, there would be a fork right now and a team of contributors forming around it as we speak. That and a migration of a substantial part of its community.

Could you share, so that the naive optimist could at least have some context?

New California law aims to protect children safety, privacy and wellbeing online
Well yeah, but if the addition (or your new EV, which might actually support working as a home backup battery) requires a new panel, then the port would be required.

On the other hand, generators are rapidly becoming obsolete, so this might be akin to requiring installation of upgraded coal shoots.
A simple spreadsheet has been the perfect solution for me past few years.

FPGAs definitely do have their place with their nice (fractional) PLLs and separate clock domains when it comes to applications like these.
Especially with increased concurrency/memory-sharing

Purely speculating here, but I imagine Nginx's choice to split across worker processes (with separate pools) instead of threads (with shared pools) had to do with a) avoiding memory errors due to sharing resources, b) reducing extra (defensive) locks, and/or c) reducing the blast-radius of crashes

All of which Rust helped the team not to have to worry about, enabling more sharing of resources, which solved their main bottleneck

Of course the OP's JVM solution would be memory-safe too (helping with (a)), but then that comes with other costs
Use two line breaks to put your content on a new line. If you use one, it will all be under the same line like happened to your comment here.
Mediums are themselves services that a consumer decides whether to use based on marginal cost and utility.

They are services that are used to purchase products and services. Purchase decisions are made about these services in the same manner as purchase decisions about the end product, at least under the rational choice theory of economics.
If you are only using Facebook for its original purpose of keeping up with old friends and family, then it doesn't actually have the scaling problem: if one of your friends or someone in your family starts posting a ton of racist bullshit you either confront them about it or drop them as a friend (preferably bilaterally), and either result is actually better for society than having Facebook attempt to present a skewed view of them that tries to just pretend they aren't posting all of the horrible stuff in the first place (whether by blocking it from being posted, quickly removing it once posted, or running some complex ranking algorithm that does a good job of hiding it).

It is only when you start having strangers talking to strangers that you run into a need for moderation, and even there you should be able to scale by sharding and punting the problem to others: if you have a group--similar to a real-world club--the moderation is on you, as the issues in your community shouldn't leak to people who haven't joined your community (and if people leave your community because you fail, all the better). The only real issue is that Facebook wants to--for the increased engagement, and thereby ad revenue--run a ton of recommendation algorithms that shove content from people you have no affiliation to in your face constantly (which one might notice should already be considered antithetical to the design of a social network) which leads to a ton of stranger-to-stranger interactions that are entirely "on Facebook" to ensure are clean.
These are not merely killers, these are death ray obliterators.

I mean, compared to the humble USB Killer (which was inspired by the Etherkiller), this has a lot more oomph.
All that may be true, but for a lot of us old timers we were coming from apache to nginx and apache's configs can eat a bag of dicks.

Unfortunately it's likely I worked in the same building as one of the people responsible for either creating or at least maintaining that mess, but I didn't know at the time that he needed an intervention.
For example, say you left a company and transferred a 401k balance into Vanguard and put it into VTSAX (total stock market ETF) with no ongoing deposits. Lets say you thought the market was going to go down and on Jan 3rd 2022 you yoinked out your entire balance which for the sake of easy math was exactly $100k (not take a withdrawal, just pull it from the ETF). Today you would still have $100k sitting there in a placeholder account earning $0 (its like a no-mans-land account for moving money in between funds, or if you were prepping an actual withdrawal).

If you let that $100k balance stay in VTSAX on Jan 3rd, you would be -19.15% and have $80,850 sitting there today. Granted in this example there aren't regular deposits going in so it really is just money parked there. If you are continually contributing money into a 401k or other tax deferred account, contributing as the market goes down is fine because you're averaging down with the market. Or maybe its not fine depending on your personal circumstances (i.e. going to retire soon or something like that).
If you joined in 2019 then you'd make around $200k this year. Last year you'd have made around $350k. Still better or equal to getting cash every year.
It seems unrealistic to imagine being turned away from entry for having brought a travel phone. I'd need to see some citations to believe it.

Amazon charges money, say 5% of transaction value.

If an item is 100$, seller gets 95.

Ok their own website, noone takes a cut, all money goes to seller.

In this case they might want to sell for 98$, and then both customer and seller wins.

There's really no substance to anything you've said here. Just confusion and fears and basic misunderstanding of economics and geopolitics. Please consult any economist or international relations scholar on point 2 or 3.
If you use something like Nix or Guix, then you might be able to continue to install and run that very old software, even decades into the future, until the old repos vanish and the hardware becomes physically incompatible - at which point, if it's important enough to you, you may have put in the work to port the software forward to new (web) API revisions and browser behaviors.

Yes, if you painted the mounting surface with it, and used bifacial panels.

You'd still be better off just increasing your surface area of the normal type though.

I think people care a lot more than we think. They just assume they have no choice in the matter. I install uBlock Origin on every browser I get my hands on and every single time people start commenting on how the web has inexplicably improved. "Everything is so much nicer now, I can't even explain why." The approval is universal and people are a lot happier when they don't have to mentally process advertiser noise.

A better world without advertising is perfectly possible. People have simply been conditioned to accept this reality. There needs to be new ways of thinking about advertising. I consider it a form of violence, mind rape.
Wow. I guess the anti-entrapment pull cord isn't enough? I wonder if you can you put in a wheelchair accessible egress door instead.

You are describing a synthetically small stereo field, which is common in DAW setups, and the reason professional control rooms are larger and proper mixing requires medium and far field monitors. If the stereo field is large enough such that in turning your head or walking around neither ear leaves the stereo field, in an enclosed room with reflective surfaces, when blindfolded or if unknown dummy inactive speakers are displayed, accurate sound localization is confounded. You only "know" where sound is coming from because you can see your speakers, and psychoacoustics does the rest. See my comment above.
To be fair YouTube didn’t do themselves many favors by trying to push the YouTube Red originals, making it sound more like bad Netflix rather than ad-free YouTube plus Google Play Music which was the real value, but I think there would still be a fair contingent that are anti-YouTube Premium.

No one that I’ve convinced to buy it has chosen to go back and not started paying again, friend that are generally cheap about this kind of thing too and they became the person I was: the one complaining when we went over to someone’s house, watched a video and ads started playing. Just using YouTube that way long enough convinces you of the value.
> But disabling metrics is not supported in standard Caddy, you need to remove specirc code and recompile to disable it.

We're addressing that quite soon. Unfortunately the original contributor of the feature has been too busy lately to work on it, so we might just have to go the simple route and make it opt-in instead. Expect to see a way to toggle metrics soon!

> Couldn’t you use the 200k cash alternative to buy AAPL, theoretically, and end up in the same boat?

This (and similar issues) is the main reason that I donate a non-trivial (10%) part of my earnings to ACLU (and 2 other) organization.

Please donate to ACLU - as much as you can.

My city charges $300 just to pull a permit, and an electrician charges $100 just to show up. Then at minimum you'll need a new branch circuit, breaker, conduit, fittings, outdoor box, wire, interlock kit, and the outlet. And you better hope your breaker box has availability for a new branch and that it's recent enough for an interlock kit. If not, you'll need to replace the entire panel and all circuit breakers. And in my jurisdiction, grounding requirements had recently changed, and my local inspector required that I bring the grounding up to code in order to have any work approved.
I am working on video, but specifically trying to make it easier for anyone to “direct” their own content creatively without having to know all the technical skills for editing. Near to mid term is to try to use AI tech to enable this, though there’s actually a lot you can do even without that. My background is in developer tools (I was product director for CI/CD at GitLab) and so I am also trying to bring in the best from that experience around how to make hard stuff easy and difficult stuff at least possible.

I suspect there will be a lot of companies in the near future that make AI models with permissive licenses easier to use, along different niches (like I am doing for video). It is a really promising area and picking a niche helps with papering over the challenges with general models.

The only reason for me to consider Caddy was reverse proxy. Now that reason is gone and I'm happy with nginx
I can think of two reasons:

1. It hinders competition. You can't really provide a marketplace thay competes with Amazon by having lower prices (for example by taking a smaller cut from sellers), because sellers aren't allowed to list lower prices on your marketplace. Or alternatively, you can't compete by selling directly from you website, because you can't offer a lower price than on Amazon.

2. It means even if you buy directly from the seller, you have to pay a higher price because it is listed on Amazon. In effect people who bu directly are subsidizing a lower price for people who buy on Amazon. This applies to the credit card case as well.

“if” is the key word there. Most companies don’t make it to IPO, and even if they do it would be a long wait. In the mean time your shares are illiquid, the paper they are written on is worth more. I’d prefer to take the cash alternative and put it into safe investments.
I just picked up my first C64 last weekend at the midwest vintage computer festival. It needs a little work because it's one of the revisions with the weak video output, but otherwise it's in great condition.

I can't wait to start playing around. Seems like a great sandbox to finally get comfortable with assembly. I think I'll try diagnosing the issue this weekend if I can muster up the energy.
The reasons stuff like this happens is because there are no punitive repercussions such as jail time for the officials that oversee the programs. All that happens is a judge eventually strikes it down. This needs to change.

Agree to disagree. I think you have a much more mercenary attitude than I do in just taking what you want and our POVs are not reconcilable.
If you cannot define something, you cannot measure it.

Since there is no one universal definition of a good university, how can there be a measure?

So anyone offering a measurement (Columbia is 9.4, Harvard is 9.25 etc) is by definition lying.

The core issue here is that people really want a simple universal scale. The fact that doesn't exist doesn't stop them wanting it. And instead of accepting that it makes them MORE ready to grab whatever rating sounds good based on some repetitional BS around the person offering it.
> Would you do the same thing for a dev with a strong southern accent...

Abso-fucking-lutely. In fact I've actually done something similar, when you work in the somewhat affluent urban blue specs on the political map you will find genuinely talented engineers, usually self-taught too, who grew up in a small town/village and just don't have the usual pedigree of a CS degree from a random college and tech internships. I felt so bad for this one guy we hired, dude was and still is a fucking wizard at networking -- he literally runs his own ISP now as a side hustle but in the interview he didn't even have to say it, it was clear from how defensive he was saying stuff like "I know you would be taking a chance on me", "I would be fine with a probationary period" that he was getting rejected other places. So we had to interview him differently to set him up to show off what he was good at because random whiteboard algo problems wasn't it.

So it's not exactly textbook discrimination, but it is recognizing the systematic disadvantages this guy had as a result of who he is.

If your career mostly spans the last decade, it should be noted that this was a really really weird decade in terms of asset appreciation vs inflation.
Because Amazon can arbitrarily raise the prices of goods sold at Amazon, and have no concern about being undercut.

For example, you are selling a Widget for $20. Amazon says "we'll take $10 of that ourselves". You can sell your Widget elsewhere at lower overhead, but you can't pass those savings on to the buyer, which means the buyer has no incentive to shop elsewhere, which means there are no market forces encouraging Amazon to reduce their cut.

There are also no market forces preventing Amazon from increasing their cut. Tomorrow, they'll want $15 of that $20.
> one side is the obvious aggressor completely in the wrong

If your model of any political situation resembles a moralizing children's cartoon, 99% chance you are a mark, incapable of identifying propaganda.

> it's rotting people's ability to actually figure out what the right side of an issue is

99.9% of issues in the population of issues we ever think about do not have a clear right answer, because if they did we would just discharge the issue immediately, and it would not stick around. Everything that remains exists in a tradeoff space, and if you think there's a clear right answer, it's probably because your understanding of the tradeoff space is naïve and low-dimensional.
I've always interpreted Buffet's advice as aimed at time periods way longer than one year.
Wouldn't that be easier to exploit, rather than more difficult?
No, you can't.

The number of people in this thread who don't understand RSU grants at all is kind of shocking.

You're granted $800k of RSUs up front at the current stock price, 25% percent vests every year. That is VERY different than buying 200k of stock every year because the 800k is all granted at the INITIAL price, whereas buying 200k every year buys stock at the CURRENT price.

If you could take 200k cash every year and then time travel back to the start of the period with it and buy the stock, THAT would be equivalent to RSUs.
I suppose if your country has just perpetrated a genocide, one might have unusual moral responsibilities.
I was speaking in general. Of all the people I've been told to hate and despise over the last several years, Putin is an outlier. He actually is directly responsible for killing people.
Okay, that makes more sense. Still a little weird that they can request that Amazon remove these items or face fines, regardless of it being a drop shipper.

Because your computer is now a secure enclave where you can't do what you want with it, but you'll still get hacked just like 10 years ago? Because the top 100 results on every search are the same 10 websites, or a shitload of spam? Because patent trolls are running amok? Because everything now requires Chrome? Because you can't even run your own browser on your phone? Because everything is an app when it could just be a simple status page? Because everybody is harvesting all of your data? Because you no longer have any privacy? Because you can't even fix your own car? Because every computer is now behind multiple NATs? Because there's a middleman between you and everything? Because all the choice of ISPs is gone? Because municipal broadband is basically illegal everywhere?
