China-Taiwan: Can a tech billionaire create a civilian fighting force?
Keep in mind that most options have an expiration date on when they can be purchased after the employee no longer works at the company. Furthermore most option agreements have a ROFR clause. I would say let them have the options. There is good chance they might not even execute them in the required window.
> I tried without a framework once and produced a framework anyways, so therefore you must use a framework

In my experience, the correct way of saying this is: I tried without a framework once, and I found myself rebuilding everything that the framework previously gave me. Therefore, I must use a framework (for things that are remotely similar to the thing I built a framework for).
> It’s obvious you subscribe to some equivalent of Calvinist theory where the poor deserve it and you are hand waving away the idea of failure.

that is simply not true. I said very clearly the default way things work shouldnt happen to outliers. What exactly are you saying here? that most people are simply not able to handle themselves throughout their lives without the nanny state handling salary requirements to the evil companies? I would say this is PARTIALLY correct, but only because people have been lulled into relinquishing all sense of personal responsibility. its like helicopter parenting adults, by the nanny state.

and your argument makes no logical sense anyway, how can someone that has marketable skills, WANTED by companies, then be not expected to be able to handle their life themselves?

there will then of course be edge cases, those that through disease, low skill (and low ability, low intelligence etc) not be able to really earn a living. That does not make them worse people, and a different mechanism should help them have a decent life.

The syntax/"Special glyphs" page shows glyphs that specifically aren't builtins (i.e. functions & modifiers, which include your regular +-÷×, among many others).

As for why use glyphs - setting up the keyboard & learning the glyphs is largely a one-time cost, but reading & writing digraphs/trigraphs or words is an ongoing one.

Ligature fonts are an option, but then you're back at having to learn glyphs, now in addition to learning the raw ASCII to write (and also read in places that don't support custom fonts).

Names/identifiers have the problem of where you draw the line - addition/multiplication/comparison/etc should really have their own glyphs, but, given that BQN is an array language, many array operations are equally as much, or more, deserving of having glyphs too.

It's unfortunate that the slightly steeper learning slope can drive people away, but I believe the glyphs are enough of a benefit in the long run that going with them is a valid option even if that means reduced adoption.
The entire problem would be solved, mostly, if more sites would support and use webmentions by default. That way we don't need centralized hubs, we don't need to have a gazillion sites polling HN/Reddit/etc either. Just a simple ping from A to B, indicating a link.

Or am I missing something obvious here?
> They also claimed that very few universities would actually raise prices to the new cap

Yeah I remember this too - the commonly-held belief was that only the top Universities (Oxbridge, Durham, LSE and UCL, plus Edinburgh/St Andrews for English students) who would max it out, and that the rest might just allow themselves a little bit more to balance the books. Looking back it seems pretty obvious that it wouldn't go down like this - who wouldn't want to give themselves more money?

I didn't recall all the details of the aftermath though (the strike + the capitulation) though, that was a pretty interesting turn. I guess it was after 2011 when I moved abroad.

If I'm understanding correctly you're implying that we can have the concept of individual land ownership, whilst not restricting general access of said land, yes?

This is all fine and very nice when it comes to your ability to take a leisurely stroll in the countryside, but it is only such a small facet of the actual issue at hand: Land being hoarded and/or not being developed to the most of it's potential utility. This is one of the reasons why a city like San Francisco has thousands of homeless people and almost no high density housing.
The UK has leaseholds, which do run out. Typically it means the value of a property drops as a lease gets short, and so you're incentivised to pay to extend the lease to remove the uncertainty.

This is not a new invention.
No, any electron amplitude with absolute value (squared) equal to one corresponds to a probability density of 1 to find an electron. You can have a positron wavefunction if you have a positron, but take care that you don’t have both, or they will (even if with a vanishingly small probability) meet and, by participating in a process with energy comparable to mass, boot you right out of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics into quantum field theory.

I hate to tell people to learn A before they can try B, but here I really, really don’t know of a way to start thinking about QFT with its positrons and annihilation and so on without getting hopelessly confused unless you’re already comfortable with normal wavefunctions-and-Schrödinger’s-equation QM. You’ll still be confused even if you are comfortable with it, mind you, it’s just that then you’ll at least have a ghost of a chance of getting your confusion down to manageable levels.
Easier versus decision avoidance... I don't see the difference. When you have confidence easiness is dictated by the goal, not the approach.
Agree with this. The Lib Dems had an existential crisis at that time (2010) as Labour and the Conservatives were both fighting for the centre ground and it seemed that would become the norm (deeply ironic given Corbyn, Brexit and Truss later).

So Clegg rolled the dice on getting proportional representation rather than first past the post to solve this and lost. He also had a go at being less of an opposition party (where you oppose) and more of a coalition party like in Europe to get things done (post the financial crisis). This failed.

Everyone hates him for tuition fees, but apparently George Osborne told him to vote against the huge raise. Had this happened I doubt people would remember him with the malice they do.

Finally, he always seemed an ethical person (Lib Dems usually are excepting local election shenanigans), so the charges seem odd and out of character, but so did the move to facebook.
That's an odd way of proclaiming your lack of finantial assets.

> And it's why I am against any form of energy that requires splitting water to create hydrogen.

growing tomatoes also splits water to create hydrocarbons, doesn't it? That's where the hydrogen in organic matter comes from, right?
To some extent, yes. But the point was that Einstein was probably only able to develop GR thanks to work by people like Riemann, who investigated these things not knowing where they'd lead half a century later. For QM it was almost the other way around and people really had to come up with and formalise a whole new branch of mathematics to make sense of the early experiments. Sometimes physics follows math and sometimes math follows physics. For QM it was closer to the latter.

My experience is that timing is a huge element. VC groups have teams that specialize in certain areas (biotech, hospitality, crypto, whatever), but those specialties change over time as the business landscape changes.

If your pitch lands in the sweet spot of the kinds of things they are looking to fund right now (and you can back it up with experience/traction/team quality/whatever), you will have a relatively easy time raising money. If your idea is good but the timing isn't right for the VC market and they don't have people that understand your idea, you will have a very hard time raising money.

Likewise, different VCs are experts in different areas (even between big name firms). We met VCs who knew our market extremely well and had a very deep network in our specific niche. We also met VCs where we had to explain the basic premise of our market from zero. Do some research to find the VCs that work in the niche you work to have the best chance of not only raising money quickly, but getting access to a network of people who can actually be beneficial to your company.
> It's a race to the bottom, and the only way to prevent that is collective organisation. There's nothing elitist about the notion that people acting together are stronger than people acting alone.

not true. For example, I have a minimum I would work for, if this is not met, I would not accept working for less. I would rather go eat grass and leaves from trees than that. I would rather plant carrots, chase after a rabbit, whatever it takes. I do not need a union, I do NOT want anyone else interferring in my salary negotiations, and I can deliver value to a company beyond what I am asking in salary. vast majority of employees can deliver value beyond a decent salary.
In my current job, I have written a small framework. It's very limited in scope and hasn't changed much since the initial implementation, so it works fairly well. But, there is a big issue with getting other team members to understand how to use it. That alone is enough that we're replacing it soon.

Another team member has developed frameworks for both infrastructure management and creating services exposed over http. Here there is a large value in using the same internal tooling over 20+ projects. But once again, being an internal-only tool means that the documentation is severely lacking, and often we need new features in the frameworks. All of that is essentially blocking on the single team member. In this case we're keeping the frameworks, but it definitely has its caveats.
I set up Tailscale for personal use a couple years ago (shortly after the general availability announcement). I was blown away by how easy it was so set up, and the functionality it offered (which was only a fraction of what it offers now). I am also heavily involved in purchasing decisions for this sort of software for my employer. Tailscale's personal use plan led directly to a paid plan w/ my employer.

I'm sure I'm not the only such example of that path.
Oh yeah, that Figma post all again. 0 to 5M in 3 months, and "how much prep do I need" ... ahaha.

All true, but somehow still very different.

> You're never the one calling code, it's always the BIOS, the bootloader, the kernel program loader, etc. I don't want to go all ad-reductio

I don't think you're even being reductive; it's just irrelevant. The saying is to do with the software you're writing right now - do you include a framework (e.g. Django, Ruby on Rails, Spring) or do you include libraries that you could swap out (e.g. Flask - which terms itself a "micro framework", but is a library for this definition, ReactJS, SQLAlchemy) and your code is in control. You're right that the code will run on one or more operating systems, but abstracting out that far elides the useful conversation application developers can have about eggs and baskets.

> the code you write is actually a pretty small percentage of the total code that makes up your system/application

This is almost always true, but seems again irrelevant. How I write my application is worthy of discussion in and of itself, if for no other reason than, with a few exceptions, I'll spend a lot more time and money on making my application than I will thinking about how the Linux kernel works.
I have hosted my own web server both physically and codevise (open-source) since 2014.

It was terrible, relative to Google, for a long time. I've kept Bing bookmarked for several years and now and then check to see how it does against Google. I'd say that within the past two years or so it has gotten to the point where it finds most of the good links that a Google search will. The only engine I've tried that regularly turns up good links that Google doesn't is Yandex, and even that is not across all types of topic searches.
I used to use Tailscale to access my nextcloud instance remotely.

However I stopped because I started using protonVPN, and there is no way to run a normal VPN on top of Tailscale, without having some kind of exit-node which will add even more latency.

It would be cool if Tailscale would support some kind of wireguard import, so if the data is not sent to Tailscale recepients, it will send it through the normal Wireguard tunnel.

In my experience the app also had other issues, like excessive battery usage on Android.

Other than that, Tailscale + Head scale, the best mesh network implementation you can find IMO.
Once you go to the grocery store and pick the 25 different libraries fundamental to your application, congratulations! You've created a completely new interaction between those sets of libraries and you get to debug those interactions instead of your own code for a portion of your time.

I've seen this with python flask REST environments where folks pull all these tiny pieces off the shelf and stitch them together. Meanwhile Django REST Framework has a mostly common baseline that you adopt and then diverge from as needed.

One way to ameliorate the effects of the "SaaS crunch" (as a user, i.e. potential casualty) is to stop establishing path dependencies on services altogether when a document is sufficient for the problem at hand. In the case here, that isn't as difficult of a mental leap compared to other things, because of what they are from the very start: notebooks.

These are documents; what we're talking about is something that you can prepare on your own machine and then ship off to somewhere else when it's time to share—whether that's by dumping it onto your own Web space, or attaching to an email.

It should have never been the case that e.g. classrooms, etc. were standardizing on a single service provider to handle this problem in the first place.

How do webmentions deal with spam?

We had "pingbacks" back in the day. They were abused by spammers to get backlinks to their vi@gra, rolex, etc websites. My blog got thousands if not more per day of these pingbacks. Has webmentions solved that?
I often have all three of CLion, WebStorm, and PyCharm open. I'm pretty sure I could use IntelliJ for all the use-cases, but the configuration presets make it easier to open all three. As far as memory use goes, I've not had problems -- it seems much more that resources scale with the number of projects open, rather than the number of IDEs open.

I open polyglot projects in whichever IDE is the closest superset of the languages it uses. Which normally means whatever language the service is written in, and plugins for other languages.

Thinking the same thing! Volleyball is very structured, there are schemas and tactics basically for every event in the game. Additionally, at professional level the accuracy of the players is quite high so the variability should get lower e.g. the setter will set the ball very precisely and the spiker will attack from a specific position. What it might change is the timing (depending on how high the ball is), but usually the professional games are very fast so that should also simplify things.
Why not just fire them, but accelerate their vesting to today? That gets rid of the actual problem employee, signals to everyone that you care about the workplace, but also signals that you will treat your employees fairly even in the case of termination?
Sorry, I see absolutely no relation between the two.
It might not have been high up their agenda, but it was high up their campaign material and was a major reason why they won so many seats. It's also worth noting that they positioned themselves to left of Labour in that election campaign, and that as "kingmakers" they had the option of forming a coalition with Labour which would have allowed them to have gotten a lot more of their manifesto passed.
This is about my story as a child, career path, TV Effects and keyboards.
Of course it is still C. You've just opted not to use some of the functionality.

Nothing stops you from e.g. providing your own startup code which then calls the appropriate initialisation code either.

The point being that there's no enforced inversion of control in the sense used by the article, and so calling it a framework in the sense described by the article is meaningless.

Even if we postulated the inversion of control was there, the fact you can replace all parts of it still means it does not fit the article definition.
Yeah, reading the sentence "Before starting the fundraising process, my first stop was to call up some VC friends of mine and ask them how to get things going" made me roll my eyes.

Rest of the article is interesting, though.
> They were on thin ice adding remote management (SSH) out of nowhere to what was supposed to be a VPN replacement. Now sysadmins and security have to deal with users randomly shooting files around between devices.

historical note: Taildrop pre-dates Tailscale SSH by more than a year, so if you had concerns about Taildrop's functionality, those were valid way before ssh functionality was enabled.

Both Taildrop and Tailscale SSH are disabled the moment any ACL but the default (which allows everything to access anything which is what no enterprise runs with) is configured because their ACL feature allows only access but no denial, so if something isn't listed explicitly, it's denied.
You literally describe the setup in a Prius CVT here. You could run your ICE at peak torque RPM in standstill (all torque would go to the small electric motor/generator). Then you accelerate with all three motors in tandem, all the while keeping your ICE at peak torque over the whole speed range.

The Prius of course is not a track car, so instead you accelerate with just the electric motor and continue to use it until your battery gets low or more power is required. The the ICE is automatically started while driving.
Doesn’t memory layout still matter? Assumedly matrix-vector products like Av are fastest if the rows of A are contiguous in memory, and vector-matrix products vA are fastest when the columns are contiguous in memory. So sometimes one would really want to actually transpose the matrix, rather than reinterpreting the indexing scheme.
Unfortunately, Jones lost both his cases by default -- there were no trials. The jury trials were only on the amount of damages. So if the unvaccinated start suing everyone who defamed them and worse, this case sets no precedent. But it might indicate a ballpark figure for their damages. If 30% of Americans are unvaccinated, their Jones-damages could be 100 Million x $50 Million. That could cause a few bankruptcies.

On contrary. Not using frameworks (when you have need for them) actually means you build 60% of framework your self, and then you have to maintain your app and your framework. Which is waste of time and resources.
In my experience as freelance developer the worst project I could possibly get is from people who invent their own "frameworks" (they just call it "lib") because they thought they were smart avoiding frameworks like next.js, laravel or springboot. It is a mess to maintain and to implement anything new on that codebase.

Complaining that framework wont support you forever because you were too lazy to maintain the software incrementally, is like complaining why php 1.0 or why windows 98 is not supported anymore. It simply doesn't make any sense.

My advice was always focus on your product, on your app, use as little dependencies as you can, but do not waste time on things that are solved already. Don't write your own framework to avoid using some other more mature and better maintained framework or lib. Sure you do not need library dependency which will tell you is something boolean or not, but if you need to add router to your app, use the lib.
As a counterpoint, all this hullabaloo around removing SMS being a bad idea is weird to me. SMS' ongoing popularity seems to be more specific to the US/NA area. That's likely the biggest market since it seems SMS is free-ish for phone carriers there? The rest of the world moved on from SMS ages ago except for marketing/spam/OTPs.

I welcome more replacement of SMS over time globally.
