I’m seeing a lot of responses clarifying that this app is designed for folks who either can’t afford to code from a computer (for various reasons outside of their control) or want to quickly prototype ideas or make changes to existing projects. To better illustrate my skepticism (and bias), I’d like to invoke an imperfect analogy to writing novels.

Imagine a mobile notes app that touts an impressive list of features and ergonomics that allows anyone to write the next novel from anywhere. You no longer need a computer or even an internet connection, just the $100 phone in your pocket and the desire to put words on (digital) paper. It’ll even figure out what you’re writing about and suggest novel plot devices and character arcs to add to your work in progress.

This sounds great on the surface, and it will definitely encourage more people to feel comfortable writing more often, which will no doubt lead to more literature being written as a result, much of which will benefit from the creative AI-injected prose.

The main issue as I see it (and I realize the analogy to writing novels is imperfect), is that the environment in which you’re writing, navigating, executing, and debugging code contributes greatly to one’s productivity and the quality of the final product. I can see the argument for being more of a playground for toy projects and ideas (much like a note-taking app), but I struggle to see this taking over as the primary tool by which technology companies are built.

It is a hacker convention after all. Social engineering is the name of the game (along with rooting ATMs and elevators). Whether the NSA booth on the convention floor is just for show or actually legit, I can't say, but it certainly gets the crowd going. The crowd who's hero is Kevin Mitnick. I'm sure later on it was all just a show to sell conference tickets, but they were real scared of computer hackers back in the 90's and there've been some truely impressive hacks shown there. Many of the speakers have FOIA'd FBI files so the feds are certainly consciously aware that it exists. Even then, printing out an official looking badge isn't proof of anything because that could easily be faked.

It's like pottery.

If 2 equal bits of clay are made by two different potters, one who has experience and years of artistry behind their hands and the other is thrown together by a teenager who has no interest in even finishing the job, even though the starting materials were exactly the same the end result couldn't be any more different.

One becomes a glazed vase with intricate artwork that would stand in any museum, and the other becomes an unglazed ashtray for a parent that doesn't even smoke, destined to be thrown away or smashed in a fit of rage.

These people are definitely a cut above, but only because their families and social circles started with good clay and spent decades perfecting the vase.
I don’t understand: why would rail pollution be worse in Europe, which has electrification initiatives for even freight rail, than in the US, where the rail duopolies and monopolies use old diesel locomotives and never invest in meaningful system upgrades?
Ryan - I'm well-acquainted with the two income trap. My point was intended to be two-fold:

-- That the idea that if they could be SAHMs, every woman would pick that route is utterly misguided. Some women would choose that, others would choose careers, some would do both.

-- That every family will make the choice of who is employed outside the home on their own. My ex-wife didn't work outside the home for many years (by her choice not mine). I know many couples with only a single breadwinner. So yes - the two-income trap is a real thing, but it isn't like it was suddenly law that every able-bodied adult had to enter the workforce.
Agreed; I've often wondered if this is a result of early CS classes usually expecting students to handle weird/bad inputs. It's only natural for a programmer to want to write a program that gracefully handles all reasonably bad inputs, like nulls. So we're taught early on to write defensive code that handles those. And that's fine when you're writing short, academic programs. But when the complexity goes up by a few orders of magnitude trying to gracefully handle that null value 10 levels deep in some parsing logic maybe isn't the best thing to do. Old habits die hard, however.
I agree. I think it's great. I was trying to point out that most(?) Android and iOS devices allow you to connect any cheap USB or Bluetooth keyboard.
You bounce back and forth between a maximalist, fundamentalist position on this topic and one that's more moderate and common sense.

> and both partners have equal responsibilities inside the home (kids, cooking, cleaning, bill paying, whatever)

So each task has to be split completely equally between each partner, to the hour? To the minute?

Can one spouse have a full time 40 hour / week job and the other a part time 20 hour / week job?

What about a high paying high stress 60 hour / week job and a 40 hour / week job?

Are you going to dictate the morally acceptable parameters of everyones relationship?

> That person needs a social outlet, a part-time job, something, whether they realize it or not.

This is a much less extreme position and I think hard to disagree with. I think the mythical era of the Homemaking Wife and Mother of the 1950s, the wives staying at home still had a lot of social outlets and interactions with people than they do today. Which speaks to the endemic isolation of our current culture.
Oh yeah for sure I am not disputing that this is the way that the system works - the whole thing rests on the compromise point between the employer's margin and the employee's wage. Both need each other to some degree and so a compromise is reached which is the market value of labour.

That said, other models of system are available - worker coops and other models of employee-owned business can and do exist. They have their own merits and flaws though - nothing in this world is perfect.

> There’s definitely no such thing as the WFO’er that wants to force their preferences upon others any more than there are WFH’ers doing the same thing.

Given that the WFH crowd has no expectation of collaborating in person with anyone and 90% of the WFO argument is predicated on other people being there with you, I don't see how this statement could be possible. WFO absolutely want other folks in the office, whereas I don't see WFH feeling the same outside of some kind of safety in numbers (e.g. they won't force me to come into the office if a lot of my coworkers are also at home)
The only issue that I see is that it's a proprietary solution that no one knows where it's going to be in the future.

>Lower birth rate means fewer bodies to feed and a smaller environmental footprint.

without placing a value judgement on the outcomes, this assertion is only true if the population decreases overall, which doesn't happen in the countries with permissive immigration policies. other countries with low birth rates and strict immigration policies have different problems, like declining property values, difficulty paying for pension/retirement obligations, shrinking gdp (even if gdp per capita is increasing), etc.

> Maybe I just think we still live in the 90s, but when I was growing up, I know my mom babysat, and I remember one of the neighbors regularly watching us.

Like a lot of things, informal, regular babysitting got ruined by a few people trying to hustle it into a business. This seems to be happening to everything that can be gig-ified:

1. People once did X informally for friends

2. Someone realized they could charge for X

3. People start doing X over and over for strangers, turning it into a business

4. Some disaster happens because X is now a hazardous unregulated business

5. Finally, the government steps in with heavy handed regulation, and now only licensed businesses are technically allowed do X.

People who work in social support?

Look at east vs west Germany. West Germany struggled with demand for social and child services during the pandemic, but the East never dismantled theirs, and it showed.

Care and support are jobs.
Yeah I'm floored by these takes. God forbid society rewards child rearing with decent parental leave and accepting small resume gaps. Can't even consider things like government or job sponsored child-care or benefits to make things like breastfeeding easier while working. Changing to part-time for a period of time with a newborn, etc.

The possibilities are endless to make having a child easier for both mothers and fathers and people are stuck on "women have to breastfeed so they have to sacrifice their careers".

Why not something like a GI-bills structure to reward having children? Blows my damn mind people think sacrifice is a necessary part of having a child from society's point of view.
The last 30 years women have had it drilled into their minds that if they don't have a powerful career then they're a failure. The reply to a woman saying they want to be a mother instead of a CEO starts with "oh you poor dear..."

>include your kids in everything, starting as early as possible. Hobbies, errands, everything.

This, 100%. It's actually easier than you think once it becomes a habit. Kids learn by emulation and practice, so they will naturally pick up on politeness, kindness, etc. as you go about your day.

Being able to see things new with your kids' eyes is enlightening as well. You've seen rocks, you've seen all the rocks, but you kids have never seen that rock before, and it's fun to look at it together and share what you know.

I would add that trying certain kinds of new hobbies with kids is also great. For example, if you've never tried painting before, start with your kids giving it a go as well.

All kids want to do is spend time with you. They're not particular. It's cliche, but it's true--they grow up faster than you think. Never pass up the chance to spend time with them.
i've consistently lost and found this tool over and over again for over 20 years
>So that's 9 months + some amount of months breast feeding.

Times how ever many children they decide to have. Generally during prime years of career development. That is not a trivial commitment.

> but the comments in this thread trying to use biology as an excuse to make 18 years (or life, as I see it) worth of child-rearing strictly a "women's issue" are living in the past.

Yes, that is why I did not make that claim.

> Meanwhile, the people in my area have shitty low paying jobs and can't afford housing, and are still trying to support their kids and elderly parents, all while having eff-all in the way of access to quality, affordable health care.

Yes, that's the part about money being a means to an end. Being able to commit one parent to child raising is a privilege requiring having basic economic needs met on one income. That used to be the reality in the US, but no longer.

I think you’re right. There is a heck of a lot to be said for enjoyment regardless of productivity.

It becomes problematic, for me at least, when the thing i enjoyed becomes a sort of default mode. No longer for enjoyment, more of a reflex. Then it feels like it might be wasted.
Stunningly beautiful. Nothing insightful to add except that I absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing, @pizza.
There is a clearer way to subsidize than to require the purchases. One is to literally directly subsidize the industry. Another is cheaply lend or even grant money to the customers buying the product but only when buying domestically made units.

It also strikes me that the percentages mentioned in the article are very high. 75% US crew? 75% US owned? 100% US built? Revising the statute to operators needing 55% of their domestic fleet being US built, and requiring 55% US ownership, and a 55% US crew should be more than sufficient. Give tax incentives for newer, more efficient craft both to the manufacturer and the buyer.

The US uses a lot of military power for non-combat purposes. We move supplies for natural and humanitarian disasters. We have water purification ships, hospital ships, and generator ships. We transport weapons systems as cargo, and even those ships themselves could be mostly protected by a surrounding fleet. If we could get a design made that's fitting for heavy movers suitable for both military and civilian use the US government's purchases could bolster domestic shippers' orders.

One even more unusual option since it's a national security concern is the US government could buy large numbers of newer, more efficient craft and lease them on affordable terms (or lease to own even) to cargo companies.
I agree with this. Having the device "correct" something that you've just gone back to fix is extremely frustrating.

That said, there are times when retroactive correction is useful. If I type "new york," it's appropriate for the phone to automatically correct it to "New York" and not "new York"

> Tesla vehicles, for better or worse, are the majority of EVs in the US currently.

That doesn't mean they always will be. Not everyone can afford a Tesla; if your response to "not everyone drives a Tesla" boils down to "lol just buy a Tesla", then your response is the precise opposite of useful to the vast majority of current drivers in the US.
Very exciting news, as more people use autonomous vehicles, the less parking needs there will be and hopefully more parking lots can be reclaimed with plant life, that benefits the whole earth with better air and calming energy.
First, even with third-party code, WireGuard is going to be significantly smaller than OpenVPN (and significantly easier to audit).

But more importantly, you can't just count lines of code as if they're all equivalent. There's a trusted core of code that is more important than the rest of the code, and WireGuard's trusted code is microscopic compared to OpenVPN. That's the right word in this case: "microscopic". It's some of the easiest code in the whole kernel to read, even given the cryptography.
Marriage is a contract upon which every other mutual decision in life is made upon. You need to have a better reason than changing decisions to divorce or annul a marriage. She made that decision too after all and it was made together for each other.

You remain faithful to the contract, or you are violating the contract in bad faith.

One of those prototypes IIRC was them disabling the ads that companies used to fund their operations, collecting crypto donations in a pool on 'behalf of' those websites, holding them hostage until the site signed up - and if they didn't sign up within some period of time keeping them for themselves [edit] ('putting them into the user growth pool' [1]).

98% of spam I receive originates from Google Mail. Trying to forward such an email through many other providers instantly generates a SMTP reject message, so there’s really no way Google couldn’t do it as well. Reporting spam has also become way harder than it needs to be. And no ones dares block Google, not to mention that, like Microsoft, they use so many outgoing IPs, it’s plain ineffective. So both simply stopped caring because it’s cheaper and they will not suffer any consequences.

They also host known spam operations like Advids for years. They’ve basically become a bulletproof spam hoster.
Open-source designs, by definition, exist outside of capitalism, because there is no owner of private (intellectual) property who has the ability to profit off of those designs.

Capitalists can appropriate open-source designs to make them profitable, or they can leave capitalism in order to interact with those designs. Those are the options.

The project more specifically also aims to teach people that the means of production can be theirs to own (their own hands and tools, perhaps with the exception that someone likely used capitalist enterprises to make those tools and raw materials available).
And yet there's also a fourth class.

My mental model of WireGuard is that it wants to replace IPSec (the encryption/tunneling), not IKE/IKEv2 (authentication, session setup, etc). It's not a perfect mental model, but it serves me well.

On the official client I can specify DNS servers for a particular connection, so one "easy" solution would be to specify domains that need to go to that set of DNS servers. e.g., when connected to home use 192.168.x.y to resolve *.blah, otherwise use the system resolvers.

This is taken into account with the volume change point.

internal cost sets the lowest bar possible without a profit, it does not set what the price will be in the face of competition because companies charge as much as they can to maximize profit. That maximization either comes in the form of per-unit profit or volume profit.

* brooks brothers

* lots of good carnicerias

* costco

there's an aldi but i've been a few times and it's a awful experience and i don't think most people go there but there's still plenty of options. there's probably something specific about where you are that's pushed towards that situation if there are no options.

kraft, nestle and general mills make name brands. most of the stores i just listed offer store brands that are basically the same thing for cheaper. you don't have to buy from the megacompanis.

mostly agree on the whole foods argument, though.

Pumping isn't a full replacement for breast-feeding, though -- there's bonding that takes place during breast-feeding, there's antibody and bacterial exchange, and the milk produced actually changes throughout the day.

Of course none of this stuff is critical, but I think for most people, the ideal scenario really is breastfeeding, straight from the breast -- and it's a shame that's so hard for so many to do in our society.
