> Might as well return to having kings and queens huh

While I get that that is hyperbolic for effect, I wonder if anyone has done a study of billionaires on the whole and how their "post-becoming-a-billionaire" economic investments and actions have actually benefited society. I'd be most interested in whether 'billionaires' are demonstrably a force for good, and whether there are measurably better alternatives. Elon consistently annoys me these days, but I can't deny that historically he has demonstrated being an exceptionally talented organizer and enabler of change, and I do think his remarks about the results of his participation in the auto industry are between slightly over-exaggerated and spot-on.

> that somehow because they are billionaires they know better than the rest of us.

Respectfully, I'd propose that it leans more the other way around: (early on) they knew better than average (Musk & Gates were both prolific readers), and thus the fruits of their labors are that they now have tremendous wealth. Of course, it's not a purely linear equation either: (1) the more wealth you pursue, the more mistakes you make, the more you learn, and (2) the more wealth you ultimately accrue, the more the opportunity landscape warps around you because you're the deep pocket now. So, yes, to an extent, although it pains me to admit, on the topic of business billionaires would probably score as well or better than the average person when tested.

It becomes reasonable that billionaires adopt this warped (mother/father knows best) perspective, because their world is fundamentally warped when compared to someone without a tremendous audience at their fingertips. I don't think that makes our right or theirs wrong, but it sure is annoying sometimes. It is however a fallacy to believe that just because someone is born more directly into the opportunity to become a billionaire (as Elon certainly was) that it immediately disqualifies them from having earned it. Kardashian kids are a different story.

Have you checked what that unsafe code does? Unsafe code is not bad per se, there has been quite a bit of discussion about the naming of unsafe and many are of the opinion that it should have better been called something like trustme to clarify that the code must not be necessarily unsafe, just that the borrow checker doesn't fully check here, which for certain core algorithms can be necessary.

As long as the content of those blocks has been carefully checked there is no problem with using unsafe.

May I suggest you read "The Utopia of Rules" by David Graeber (may he rest in peace).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Utopia_of_Rules
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-the-ut...

He argues that we've built a giant bureaucracy, most jobs are bullshit jobs (he created that term), and most work is a scam.

We could have UBI and most people working just a few hours per week, but that much freedom is dangerous. Politicians might loose power.

More seriously, watch The Century of the Self (Adam Curtis),
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Century_of_the_Self
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04,
which describes the creation and rise of marketing as a social force in the 1900s; how the consumer-based society was created.

A large driver of this was the need to "control the masses", because if they weren't controlled bad things happened. Like world wars or crystal nights.

Bullshit jobs and an all-encompassing bureaucracy, keeping people working all the time and unable to think, is our current social technique for controlling the masses.
In this case they are examining colon cancer and deaths from it, and the colonoscopy is a diagnostic test for colon cancer. I feel that the results are being presented to the public in a very misleading way. People will read this headline and conclude that they don’t need to get a colonoscopy which I don’t think follows from this study at all.

Lapce is looking really promising IMO. It's very fast, has single-click support for a few languages (Rust of course) and the UI is surprisingly complete.

Obviously there are still a ton of paper cuts but it's still very impressive and they are very welcoming of contributions.

The only thing that concerns me slightly is that they're using their own fork of Druid which was pretty much labelled a failed experiment by its primary author (though tbf he still seems to be working on it). On the other hand the UI mostly looks and works really well! I've only noticed a couple of niggles - misalignments, labels not linked to check boxes, ugly context menus on Windows etc. (and that last one is mostly Windows's fault).

Contract review software has completely transformed how businesses conduct contract lifecycle management reviews. Traditional contract review processes are costly, out-of-date, time-consuming, and prone to human error. In contrast, a technologically enhanced approach to contract evaluations standardized the review process and reduced response times. Your legal department and other stakeholders involved in the contract lifecycle management review phase can benefit greatly from contract review software. These contract review software solutions help attorneys analyze and amend contracts quickly and accurately, which can improve the quality of your legal contracts, save time, and reduce risk. We recommend using a contract lifecycle management solution that includes contract review features.

One is stronger than the other. All self-touches are predictable. But not all predictable touches are self-touches. For instance, someone else could “tickle” you in a consistent and repeated pattern and it would be predictable.

Interesting thanks! Do you remember what software you were running?

It's easy to forget that a whole class of computer like this has disappeared from the market - a small company would use the cloud these days I guess.
Sometimes treesitter has problems. Indenting has gotten worse and configuration is a lot more complex.

I have the same config with some neovim / vim specifics and I find myself using vim more often even though the neovim features are "cooler".

I wonder if it will ever become "mature". It doesn't crash for that matter, but you have to keep everything updated constantly. Vim doesn't really have that problem.

Helix looks cool too, but I was looking for what it has that the others don't have and I can't figure it out. The website just makes it seem like it's cooler than the others.
This is amazing, always have a need to edit some PDFs for office, and this works perfectly!

Well if you know why it's not the answer, you can probably tell me what's the alternative explanation.

Why is the United States so unique in having a health care system that

This is done for copyright reasons.

You can't copyright the raw list of ingredients, as it is a factual statement with too little creative input (in the list, not the recipe itself!) to get copyright protection.

To stop the recipe blog just being scraped by some recipe site and get zero visitors/impressions for themselves, they have these (at least) "minimally creative" intros that qualify for copyright.

...then the recipe sites just changed to extract the factual non-protected recipe from that, and the arms race escalates.

I suppose that by refusing to get a colonoscopy even when specifically prompted to do so, you're maybe sorting yourself into a more "unhealthy" group than the general population of non-colonoscopy-havers.
One of the major drawbacks is that git has no way (AFAIK) to rebase multiple branches, so if above that throwaway commit you have multiple branches, tags, or merges then it is not immediate to rebase the whole tree.
Hey Hackers,

Problem: more choices make us less likely to take action. We overthink and can’t decide.

Solution: the game incentives you to make a decision quickly in order to save the cute cat from the overthinking monster.

> I fully expect Helix to replace Vim, Neovim, and Kakoune for most users in the long run.

Is there anything preventing other editors from integrating LSP and making it work out of the box without any configuration other than adding a language server?
> It seems like somewhat of a miracle that neovim has taken as much share as it has.

It's not a miracle but rather a testament to how much Neovim improves upon Vim. The number of useful features, among them Tree-Sitter and LSP, that Neovim has introduced has ended what feels like decades of stagnation in Vim development.

Now imagine an editor like Neovim, but instead of working through 30 years of cruft and legacy code, it's built from the start using modern software engineering techniques and incorporates such features into its core editing model. That's essentially what Helix is. The Vim -> Neovim improvement is nothing compared to what Helix will deliver (and already is delivering in many aspects).

Does anyone happen to know if there is a terminal IDE that more or less operates like the very basics of popular GUI IDEs? By this I mean has a file manager pane which can be manipulated by mouse, allows multiple open tabs which are selectable and closable by mouse, is generally mouse-aware with regard to cursor activity on the text, and operates as a regular user would expect (not modal)? The closest thing I've found to this is Micro, but the full IDE experience is missing.

I know mouse-aware file manager and tab capabilities are possible in terminal IDEs, but I haven't seen anything that simply put it all together as a cohesive and easy-to-use whole that anyone who has used VSCode could quickly start using for basic editing of multiple files in a project.

How different is this really from the fact that hardware designs themselves are proprietary? You can do computing without (what we commonly call) software, and much hardware does that - so even if 100% of the software running on your system were open source, that doesn't mean that your system is not compromised; you can very easily build a hardware key logger, and have it send the password over a cable (sending it over the internet through pure hardware would be quite hard, but modulating a signal shouldn't be). Note that even if the hardware design were open, you would still have a hell of a problem trying to check whether an IC actually matches the open design.

The only solution to these problems is actually regulation and trust. There is just no realistic way to actually check that your system is not doing some of the things you don't want it to do. Instead, you have to go to the source and make sure you can trust the vendors you buy from, and in order to do so, they themselves have to have hiring and shipment etc practices that allow this type of trust.

"As a young engineer, I remember sitting in a city council meeting where a senior colleague presented my analysis on the massive backlog of road maintenance the community was facing. My estimation was that the city's capital budget needed to be increased by five times just to keep from falling further behind"

"Analyses of new developments suggest that a minimum of $20 in private wealth is needed to sustain, for the long term, each dollar of public infrastructure investment. A ratio of 40:1 would provide an optimal buffer for future uncertainty. Yet, when we examine modern North American localities, it is common to find ratios of 1:1 or worse. That is, in the current development pattern, it takes one dollar of public infrastructure investment to create one dollar of private wealth. That’s a formula for economic disaster."

But how would you convert from 23.976 to 24? Either you will have a repeated frame once every 1000 frames, or you would need to interpolate every single frame.

Dayyyum, that is cheap compared to our 2 mile tunnel here in Seattle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Route_99_tunnel

$210 million a mile for rail is a great value compared to the cost to build here in the Puget Sound region. Sounds Transit 3 is adding 62 miles of rail for $53.8 billion and central portions like Ballard and West Seattle are still over a decade away from starting construction.

Factory jobs are a small fraction of the overall economy. Take the white collar cars off the road and you've freed up capacity. Then build roads for industrial purposes.

I do some work with blue collar industrial clients now and again as a favour. I work remote and contract out the various things I can't do remotely to an MSP or various local installers. A factory has an accounting department, it has managers pushing paper all day (although these usually can only be hybrid remote positions), that sort of thing.

You certainly need to build a freaking road to the facility and arrange for the transport of workers but honestly congestion on these roads isn't as much as an issue as disrepair and maintenance because of the heavy trucks driving across them. Talk to anybody running anything industrial and they want to hire some white collar people to automate some stuff to either cut labor costs or expand the business, hopefully the latter, and these people are likely to work hybrid.

I guess you are right and I should give more consideration to industrial uses of transportation infrastructure which are just as relevant as ever.
