Your problem is one of the iron laws of being human:

While you may be able to influence another person, you can not change another person.

You are in a state of denial (a delusion) about people and both their capacity for good and capacity for change. You elevate your own ideals against animal (whoever has the most power wins) ideals while failing to recognize your own animal nature. You think your ideals are better than, say a republicans, and yet they are fundamentally equal to you. They might be trying to change you so that you become a nationalist, in the same way you would wish for them to be globalist. You have a false sense of the superiority of your beliefs and a false sense of authority to spread them. As we saw in 2016, they can get into power and co-opt the institutions of indoctrination to indoctrinate in the ways they see fit. Power is the factor that determines who gets to use the institutions of indoctrination.

> It seems like it is a fundamental aspect of humanity.

You recognize one important axiom, but fail to find the contradicting axiom.

War is the state of two irreconcilable delusions, or a delusion and reality. War determines who is wrong, and who is left.

> So one aspect is teaching people that their ideas are not part of their identities.

Do you see how republicans talk about how schools are indoctrination centers for kids and are fighting public education because they don't like this liberal indoctrination?

What do you think it would take for people to drop Christianity?

> But I do know there are far too many people who do not wish to go to war in either country.

I smashed my lego set in anger as a kid. It felt right at the time, but the end result was that what I had built was utterly destroyed, some individual pieces were permanently broken. I did not have the maturity or forethought to see how sad I would be at the destruction of my creations.

Global warming, much like obesity, is a march of small concessions until it gets to a point where the snowball is too big. War is a small march of appeasements until the despot starts seeing appeasements as submissions and becomes emboldened.
So, my argument sounds good re: cancel culture but not re: animal experimentation? Does that mean people who say horrible racist things are not moral monsters deserving of punishment, but a guy who does medical experiments on rats is?

I respect your opinion (which may not be exactly what I suggested above), but can't you see how easily someone else could think very differently?

How far should we go to enforce our exact individual moral opinions that so many other humans don't share? It's a hard question that deserves input from thought and not just moral emotions. That's all I want to point out.

I noticed as I approached the edge that large square tiles started to show up (the terrain was still contiguous until I go all the way to the edge, but it divided into uniform-sized squares by increasingly-high dirt walls with no collision detection). I wonder what caused that?

If you want the disappointing answer, it's because the United States government implicitly forces a smartphone manufacturing duopoly where both options are under their control. If you want the slightly-less-disappointing answer, it's because there aren't any other tech companies with 200 billion dollars in liquid cash sitting in their bank account. If you want the bluepill answer, it's because Tim Cook has a secret vault deep within Cupertino HQ that contains the secret, unique texts that describe the highly-guarded technology of Retina Displays and unibody frame manufacturing.

Honestly though, quality is subjective. My measure of quality comes from how well the software I use runs on these devices - and unfortunately, it doesn't work well. GNU software is too much of a hassle on MacOS, setting up my sync system isn't even an option on iOS. The phone could feed my cat and make me dinner, but it still wouldn't be a daily driver unless it makes my life easier as a user. Neither one really does,

Maybe the most realistic answer is that everyone else has seen what Apple made, and doesn't want to build a locked-down vertical ecosystem. People get frustrated dealing with SMS/iMessage bridging and MacOS/iOS deciding which software they get to run. These people want to innovate beyond what Apple has done, and I think that's a pretty amicable goal. Trying to sell a device as locked-down as the iPhone in 2022 will rightfully get you laughed out of the room.
I think it's a little more nuanced.

I'm currently sitting here freezing my nuts off in a sleeping bag in my house, because I don't want to give money to Russia's war. So that's something I can do, that whilst disadvantaging me in _comfort_, doesn't disadvantage me in any meaningful way.

There are meaningful disadvantages though, which actually make you less likely to succeed in the very goals you're sacrificing for. If I were to boycott all the big bad tech companies _completely_, I would be cutting myself out of the loop to such an extent that it becomes counterproductive to my cause. It would be a bit like if I were to stop going to town hall meetings, because they were corrupt. The corrupt there would love that, because they shut me up without even trying.
MLOps for Foundation Models: Whisper and Metaflow
If your market expects you to, then by all means, and for Linux you pretty much have to, in which case you have to figure out a business model that works with that.

But there is a whole lot more to customer development than a public repository. Just because you have built it it doesn't mean that they will come. In fact they never will, because a day is 24 hours, and people only have so much attention to give. Practically none for you. You have to be a grand wizard of marketing and behavioral science to start making money. The trick is to build something niche, something that can take over a smaller, but interconnected network of people. It's how diseases spread too.

> Should I just improve my software engineering skills

They don't matter much. A business is not a programming contest, it's a brand or person people trust to take care of their pain for them. Identifying the pain, learning how to communicate the solution, building a brand around it and creating connections is 90% of the battle.
You’re correct, and, yes, it can apply to virtually anything. But we don’t let that hold us hostage for properly mitigating risk.

I think the distinction is when a threat is “imminent”. To the point of this thread, I don’t think the dialogue has progressed enough to form a consensus on where that “imminent threshold” lies.

Teaching someone about DNA doesn’t constitute an imminent threat. But the equivalent of teaching the recipe for a biological weapon may be considered enough of an imminent risk to warrant regulation.

This looks like an interesting premise, but it's super sketch web design to ask for an email address with absolutely no explanation of how your service works.

Even if I was totally willing to give my email address to you - I'd still really like more of an explanation on how your service works before I invest any time into using it.

You could probably get a lot more positive feedback on this service by adding an explanation on how it works at a high level and what I am to expect by using it.
This system should be very, very safe, because run/expose a NASA or state satellite with the same “protocol” of a commercial satellite, could be very risky.

The drones have inertial guidance and gps is used for corrections only. That means when the drone is guided to blow up the railway junction, maybe you throw it off a bit so it hits the apartment next door. Not necessarily a good plan. There was also the case of a drone being damaged by ground fire, and veering off course to hit an office building next to an energy junction that it was being aimed at. And the problem of all those people shooting small arms into the sky causes damage when the bullets fall. For these reasons, Ukraine has asked people to stop shooting at the drones -- the time to shoot down drones is when they are flying over fields towards the city, not when they are already in the populated areas.

You have the same problem with putting AA missiles in populated cities -- sometimes they miss and slam into an apartment/office building -- that has happened 3 times so far at least as publicly reported (most likely it happened more often). You are supposed put the AA missiles in defensive rings around your assets, not in your downtown area. Ukraine's problem is they don't have enough to deploy as effective rings -- e.g. they don't have a real AA system, and so they put the missiles directly in populated areas, in which case it's better to turn them off when the cheap drones fly by and save them for enemy jets. Those missiles are not cheap.

Really the drones are exploiting the fact that AA missiles are so expensive and there is a gap between the guy with a rifle standing on the hood of his police car and a $2 million Amraam. Even manpads cost far more than the drone. The production costs of one of these is about $1000 (although they are sold for 10-20x that retail) - using parts sourced from Alibaba. A cheap moped motor, a mirocontroller, it's really simple stuff. Like V1 [corrected] rocket tech. Israel is working on the "iron beam" laser defense, but right now, there doesn't exist a working defense that doesn't involve firing million dollar missiles at $1000 drones. It's something all the major powers should be investing in, and I'm worried the U.S. defense complex just isn't able to do "cheap" any more. Could they even design a system that could take out such a drone cost effectively?

All of the Vercel platform features you can use in Next.js (or other frameworks) are also available through the Build Output API for frameworks to target. This is what frameworks like SvelteKit, Nuxt, Solid, etc use on Vercel.

At least for web development I believe eglot is strictly worse. It does not support running multiple servers (e.g. tsserver and eslint-ls) (https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/976) which is supported by lsp-mode and neovim's built-in lsp client. Also, it does not have any equivalent to dap-mode which is lsp-mode only. Although worth noting dap-mode is currently useless for js (https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode/issues/369).
> It's just far more efficient to build solar PV arrays on the ground, and to keep power on 24/7, build enough to store the energy for later use at night and in the winter. Throwing all that mass into orbit, even if in low-Earth orbit where decay and burnup in the atmosphere is guaranteed over time for the debris issue, is just a massive waste of resources, plus the energy loss over 100 km or so would undoubtedly very high.

That argument makes perfect economic sense ... now. The same way that burning fuel still makes economic sense in quite a few cases. But environment anxiety is not only about burning fossil fuels, it is about deforestation, farting cows, the use of land for human activities, and well, basically every industrial economic activity. There is environmental anxiety about solar and about wind energy production, and about nuclear power. And it is often an-out-of-the-blue spurt for something that happens in another continent[^1]. We are slowly but surely channeling that anxiety by taxing "Earth use".

Here is a thought experiment: try to imagine a world where human environmental footprint is bound in a way that satisfies even the most extreme environmentalists today, who--as anxiety raises--are going to be your average bread-and-butter (self-)conscious citizen of tomorrow. How does it look? How many of us?

I wish we come upon a time when we decide to have space-based solar power and space-based living. The alternative is disquieting.

What makes JavaScript such a terrible fit compared to the other 100 languages you have in mind?
Barrier to entry is very high (lots of expensive man hours to design and program device), and the people with sufficient money are not willing to bet they can sufficiently outcompete Apple and existing Android phone makers on cost to quality ratio to make a sufficient return in investment.

Microsoft was halfway there, opened up retail stores, had a working product they could keep improving, and then pulled the plug. Not sure why leadership was not interested in risking a little bit more to have a piece of the Apple pie, in addition to the rent they get from Office/Azure/Windows.
She may not be joking.

Cloudflare isn't required to host your site because you pay them money. Unless that changes, I don't see how they're in the wrong here.
Because V8's low-overhead tenant isolation is fundamental to how Cloudflare Workers works[1], and without it it would be a completely different product with worse performance. This means it can only support JavaScript and WebAssembly.

You can run it locally[2], and efforts are underway to standardize much of it so that the same code can run on Workers, Node.js, and Deno[3]. The Workers runtime is also open source[4], although in practice this is likely to be less useful for most use cases than just using one of the other JavaScript runtimes if you're self-hosting.

> (Only applies to major powers)

>> Saudi Arabia, Iraq and others being clear counter-examples to such democracies

I thought I was pretty clear. At best, those are regional powers. And clearly fell into the "subordinate dictator" mindset. When Iraq stopped being a proxy-war launching pad with USSR backed Iran, it quickly was removed from even being a major regional power.

Saudi Arabia has far more than regional economic power, but that fits more into "the royal family is a rich family" in the US than "Saudi Arabia as a country is powerful".

>> EU has made several attempts at establishing an actual army to back up its economic strength with some actual muscle

That point was about EU economic power. China has clearly influenced many economic activities. Look at the removal of Taiwan's flag in the new Top Gun or the way John Cena apologized in Chinese as examples of the movie industry being pushed around.

I could go further than movies easily. It's just that they are a really visible example by design. They are not the biggest worry.

The EU could pass laws that really mess with the US, but they don't seem to.

The "support private businesses' rights unless I don't like their decision" is kind of universal, isn't it (okay, minus some libertarians)? Custom cakes for gay weddings was a case where probably everyone who now says "private businesses have no duty to serve you" said the opposite.
This isn’t unique to software. The same issue exists in other engineering domains.

For example, some industrial programs require adherence to ASTM standards for pressure vessels. This extends to seemingly common tools like air compressors, which some people take umbrage with. It really comes down to the way in which industry/regulators craft the standards.

The best way IMO is to make the applicability risk based. Can the linear regression result in loss of human life? If so, maybe being “stamped” by a licensed engineer is appropriate. Approval by a licensed engineer essentially says a competent has ensured the relevant best practices to mitigate risk has been implemented.

They solve different problems. WordPress is a full stack solution that's great for blogs and simple websites. The downside is that it's a lot of maintenance (requiring a LEMP stack) and not very portable. You have to copy over everything from the code to the database to the files to things like htaccess and nginx config. Hosts Like Pantheon and wpengine make that easier, but you're still bogged down by overhead. Scaling is really hard if mere caching doesn't work because you have to deal with Mysql replication and slaving. And what's really annoying about this setup is that you HAVE to deal with the whole stack. If the content writers want to preview their changes, you have to a clone them a staging environment. That means DB merges or overrides. And if you're simultaneously making other changes to the production DB, good luck reconciling the two.

Jamstacks really shine when you can decouple the frontend from the backend(s), because then you have an easily replicable single repo with nothing but code. You can deploy it to any Jamstack host with a push and they handle all of the scaling and https and caching concerns. And the backend teams, whether an in house endpoint or content writers working on a hosted headless CMS, never have to care about the stack.

A middle ground that's interesting to explore is using WordPress with Advanced Custom Forms as a backend plus a Jamstack frontend. ACF is still quite a bit more powerful than any of the headless CMS solutions I've tried, but it does mean you still have to maintain a LEMP stack, which is a headache in and of itself.
So is Gab, and they are also using Cloudflare. They also have their own ASN and have been sitting on Hurricane Electric (HE) for years despite all the calls to 'deplatform' them, which like I expected Kiwifarms to move to Epik for their domain, they will also move to HE or elsewhere.

I guess Gab is not villain of the month to be deplatformed today.
I didn't generalize, just acknowledged that it has and can happen. I don't think most platforms are running cover for a pedo ring or any of that common conspiracy stuff.

I do wonder if it is possible to truly be certain code runs in constant-time. The problem is that modern CPU translate their instruction set into internal micro-code. For example, the x86 CMOVE instruction (conditional move) could potentially become a branching path once translated to microcode. There are other instructions like multiplication or division that may end-up having different run time depending on input.
This is all true and I think mercurial is an excellent word. Spoken and written.
