Is it me or is Remix sort of a weird, and slightly sketchy flip of the OSS money making pipe? I understand that people can take open source projects and turn a business around them by providing hosting (Vercel/Next for example), but having people 'invest' in an open source framework just seems fundamentally wrong. What is the payout for those investors, what have Shopify actually given (and to whom) for what it has 'aquired' here? Also what of the $3m Remix 'raised' last October, where has that gone, what did those people get in return? I just fail to see where the return is on all of this...
Just realized, but to late to edit, that I based my original comment on my home country. And that is not the US. Over here, even hardcore PIPs are regularly thrown out by courts as grounds for termination.

What is very visible to me (in the industry for about 35 years now) is that most people today only know 2 platforms: Unix and Windows NT.

They are, considered in context of the rest of the desktop personal computer industry, nearly identical.

But we had a mass-extinction event in the 1990s and most people under 50 haven't seen anything that is actually _different_.

So, for instance, people think that C is some sort of universal assembler and everything else is built on C. This is not even adjacent to something similar to the truth: it reflects the blinkers of the 21st century PC world.
But generated Rust code itself was included in the crate, correct? Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to use such crate. If so, I don't see any problems for reproducibility.
I think there will be simpler offers once cheaper models are also EVs.

Holy smokes almost $20 an hour around 2000 is a good way to go, thanks for sharing and I really appreciate the story. Never heard the speaker cable thing! When I get together with my community I’ll share it with parents and the thought leaders because it’s hard to take that job forced on you. Ports are everywhere now, which for the elderly must be good.

Fascinating story and I’m sad to think 22 years later it’s probably about the same pay rate. Honorable gig. Nice to hear how it can be a steeping stone for use of talent as well!

Ps - I heard Chuck kind of came up with Fight Club while driving cancer patients and other terminal patients to appointments when not working as a diesel mechanic.
Hey! Fellow TKD practitioner here. I'm just curious if you found ways to "cheat the rules" so to speak. Mind sharing them?

I know that with the direction the sport has taken in the last decade or so, there are probably a hell lot of hacks right now. I even heard that players would change tactics (ie., rely on certain kicks/strikes more) depending on the hogu brand in use.

But I competed before the advent of e-hogus and the one trick I found is punching just at the upper edge of the chest part of the hogu. That's where the rubber padding ends which transitions to the mere "cotton" padding that fluffs the straps. This meant that my opponent might actually hurt from my punch, while plainly making contact with the protective gear. In an era where punches rarely scored points if at all, this was useful. I felt like I could punish people for clinching too much.

(Needless to say, this was in high school competitions. I dunno if it would've been as useful in higher tiers.)

So did you find anything else? I'm curious! :)
I think it'd be easier to just implement better keyboard support in E.G. Acme and, to a lesser extent, the terminal. :)

Side note: Inserting text using a debugger shouldn't be necessary. Everything really is a file, including Acme's windows and their contents (which is pretty cool).
Dude, in 1998 we at intel had a 64-core running system.

Looks like some people still maintain CMUCL.

> I thought SBCL was its considered its successor.

Generally SBCL has a lot of advantages, incl. being available on current 64bit platforms. The typical developer will very likely better use SBCL.

It's not unusual though that some out-of-fashion Lisp implementations are still maintained by a small group - as long as there is enough knowhow available. Clozure CL for example currently has the problem that some people would like to use it, but it has not the necessary maintainer with the needed low-level knowhow. A problem is for example to get a native port to the Apple Silicon Macs done. Something which was done for SBCL quite some time ago.

Oh wow, I’m not even sure if I ever used that. I do remember Phoenix, but this barely rings a bell.

And towards your question: Different times. Both hardware and browser capabilities were vastly different back then, so some technological choices made in the early days might have made more sense.

For me personally, I know that back in the day I was a lot more forgiving of delays than I am now.
The point combyn8tor is trying to make is that there was an exodus from Digg to Reddit and it happened rapidly. Digg didn't fade away as others did.
In Silicon Valley, the Fremont city hall has two spaces, a nearby strip mall has two, a Union City grocery store(?) actually has a dozen Tesla supercharger spaces. But if you want to park in your neighborhood and charge overnight there’s nowhere to do that, unless you own a garage.

I think 92% of the batteries components can be recycled at the moment, and WV set a target to get to 97% [1]. Moreover lithium is expensive to extract and a rare resource. So I am confident that in this case recycling at scale will happen.

My major gripe is that a lot of people will be without a job once we fully transition to EV. They have few moving parts and so production lines requires way fewer people. The same goes for maintenance in the long run. In countries like Germany where a huge percent of the population works in the automotive industry directly or indirectly it will be a big deal IMHO. But as always with politicians they won't act until the problems hit their potential voters.

Additionally the modern trend, in many types of public lighting, is to reduce the amount of light which shines upwards in order to increase efficient and lower light pollution.
> Nope, this is an anti-EV myth. Car batteries are not like your phone battery

I need to do some more reading; one of the biggest things that have put me off are people (claiming) to have lost 30%+ capacity in 3-5 years.

> Luxury cars are never a good investment, EV or otherwise. That's not why people buy them.

This was not my point, my point was that a "decent" EV in the UK runs you the price of a luxury-car (according to UK gov brackets for what is considered a "luxury car"). A Polestar 2 for example is £50k which puts you in luxury car tax bracket, and also you lose any government incentives for buying an EV because it's a luxury EV. But is a PS2 any more luxury, other than being electric, than a specced Mondeo, Vectra, or Passat?
None, I don't think a majority of people would move to something new. Twitter is an old outdated concept now and people are too wary to move to something new.
3) I don't see the fun in joining a social network where I need to mute 98% of all posts and profiles every single time I go on.

Those issues are common for almost all package management system. Asking user to use hashes instead of versions is absurd. Those who need more control can always build packages on their environment.
Right now in Poland, in cities there's less legit parking spaces than cars (cities were planned by communists, who didn't assume that most householdd will have a car). People are thus forced to park in illegal places (too close to pedestrian crosing, too close to intersection, leaving too little space on the sidewalk etc.) and the authorities turn the blind eye, knowing that there are no good alternatives. When every car will be electric, the authorities will either install charing points at these illegal de-facto parking spots as well, or won't and people won't be able to charge their cars...
For me, this is really the only social media place I’m active (that’s why I have so many posts, hereabouts).

I have a whole bunch of accounts in other venues, but most lie fallow. They are basically “placeholders.” I have to use a couple, from time to time.

All that, to say, I don’t especially care what happens to Twitter.

From where I sit, it appears as if a troll has bought it, and has declared that he plans to make it a troll playground.

Sounds like fun, but I feel it was basically there, already.

There's plenty of variety in EVs out there now. Lots without "all touch interiors" if that's not your thing.

Today's EV batteries will last for 15-20 years, which is the approximate lifetime of most combustion cars today in the UK. Some emerging battery chemistries, like the LFP cells used in some Teslas, may last considerably longer.
Fully agree. We need to shift away from car-dependency in dense urban centres. Why should everyone be able to drive their space-taking, noisy, toxic, air-conditioned box which is dangerous to everyone else into all strees in an urban centre? That the majority see no issue with this is society wide "Mere-exposure effect" bias in effect.
Two of these are flat wrong. First, the waste isn't basically forever. Part of it can be reprocessed and part of it does indeed decay down to very low or nearly null radioactivity sooner rather than later.

Secondly, (it's such an absurd myth that keeps being repeated), there are plenty of effective, perfectly functional, usable, right-now-being-used plans for storing nuclear waste. It's not even much overall: The total amount so far produced by humanity to-date is just over 400,000 metric tons (this is very little physical volume on any industrial scale of things) and of that only about 4% is highly radioactive. The rest is low-radiation and one third of that total is suitable for reprocessing..

Bottom line, there is NO major problem with storing it if even minimal intelligent effort is applied to the task.
Nice, the pictured vehicle looks nothing like an EV interior, which is great!

I suppose the part I'm missing is that for now, all of the EVs we see are trying to be futuristic, once it's the norm, we should see more "normal" vehicles.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some old-git who's anti-change, I'm a millenial, and a tech-nerd, but I also like to keep my eyes on the road when I'm driving.
Yeah you are absolutely right. Here in germany a lot of companies pay a decent premium on temporary/loan workers and freelancers just to not be bound to then.
It would be ironic if people would start using same loophole like in USA - Riding big ass SUVs, which has more lenient emission controls because they are not personal cars, but trucks (light-duty vehicles).

I don't think so. AFAICT, people do hate parenthesis, no matter how long they use Lips/Scheme. They just simply get used to the clutter.

people seem to focus on the negative.

It's strange how since 2016 or so people have been trashing Twitter saying it's toxic, and now people want to protect it now the boss has changed, similarly seeing the worst.

What caused my loss of interest was reading story after story of various subjects that I am deeply familiar with and coming away with the impression of "they got that all wrong" or "they seem to be spinning this story to fit a predetermined conclusion". Then realizing that nearly everything modern news presents suffers from this.

I suppose one could mitigate this somewhat by following a diversity of sources, but I've found my approach of just disconnecting has left me more sane.

For me, it already has been replaced for a long time by reddit and instagram.

Get rid of nukes because Germans are scared of nuclear waste

Start burning coal

Pretend that nuclear waste from coal released uncontrollably from chimneys and ash dumps does not exists.
I don't disagree with you, but I also don't see the UK (England in my case) getting much of anything done in _only_ 13 years. I hope I'm wrong, and when we're all forced to have electric vehicles, that we'll be able to charge them, without having to sit at a service station for an hour while it charges.

The only reasonable way I see, without affecting productivity of the nation as a whole, is to charge while we sleep, as we do with our phones usually.

When I pull in to Shell now to stick Diesel in my car, I see someone sat in their EV playing on their phone while they wait for their vehicle to charge; presumably for an hour plus? this isn't what I want for our futures.
> it’s probably true that CSAM has some value

I think you're conflating financial value and social value (CSAM may have some financial value, but highly negative social value). I really struggle to see how you could (even theoretically) traffic CSAM for "good reasons".

My understanding is that ActivityPub, while being federated, puts huge amounts of power and responsibility in the hands of the node operators, including access to private messages. Identity is at the core of most systems, so if the architecture doesn't work (which would make sense given that ActivityPub is older), then a different protocol may be better.
> "I need to do some more reading; one of the biggest things that have put me off are people (claiming) to have lost 30%+ capacity in 3-5 years."

This was true for some early model EVs, like the early-2010s Nissan LEAFs. But they used different battery technology (chemistry) to todays EVs, and the battery packs lacked thermal management, leading to rapid degradation.

> "But is a PS2 any more luxury, other than being electric, than a specced Mondeo, Vectra, or Passat?"

I know which I'd rather have. If you were going to spend £50k on a new car today, you'd be mad if it wasn't electric.
Science Misconceived: How the Covid Epoch Wrecked Understanding
It's pretty doable to create reproducible builds with gradle or maven: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/jvm/

Also, releases on maven central typically include a sources.jar along with the binaries. It's required to provide that as well as javadoc to publish on maven central, I think. They also require jars to be signed and there are some manual checks before they activate your account to verify e.g. domain ownership and metadata of your project. It's not perfect but it's better than what many other packagemanagers do. It's actually a bit of a PITA to setup; I've wasted quite a bit of time getting some stuff published there just trying to figure out their convoluted processes and tools and error messages. This stuff is way too hard in it's current form.

Not all projects that use these build tools are fully reproducible but that is probably pretty easy to fix if people raise awareness of issues around this topic.

There's even a website that tracks reproducibility for some common libraries on maven central: https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central#rea...

If you want to use artififacts produced straight from git hashes, tags, or branches, jitpack.io is pretty neat.
I have to say, you are not the typical customer of a Chinese restaurant. A good restaurant is busy, the chef will not change the recipe for your taste bud, you go there for exactly what they are famous for :)
We don't have areas that are that remote. And Germany is small.
You know what's funny about Digg? They made a stupid decision, lost all of their users to Reddit, and essentially shut down.

But! About one or two years ago they relaunched and started publishing mildly interesting stuff that I typically wouldn't see anywhere else. I'm guessing this got them users, because in the last months they changed most of their titles to clickbait, the quality of the articles went down, and they added comments where I've never seen anything but spam.

I don't know who cursed Digg or why, but they clearly did a thorough job.
Ironically, in the UK, Range Rovers (snazzy, very big 4x4s) are called Chelsea Tractors.

`0.015.toFixed(2) === "0.01"`, and `0.087.toFixed(2) === "0.09"`
> "going with the VCS" does not help here in any way.

It does, because then you can run the build process yourself from the real source files and check if it is reproducible.

> If you mean that Rust code gets generated by a Python script and then gets uploaded to crates.io without the "origin" scrips, then I don't see any problems here.

Right. The problem is there is no source in the crate, just generated Rust code, so you can't know if the build process to create that Rust code is reproducible or not.

> While I think it's a bad practice (though I haven't seen such crates myself), it does not hinder build reproducibility.

The problem is that these are prebuilt files and so your build process is just copying them not building them, so you can't know if the build of them is reproducible.
> You added "killing people" to the statement because

Because it's a fact that is relevant for this discussion. IS have not only destroyed ancient buildings, but they have also killed thousands of people. IS is a terrorist organization [0]

Please explain how mentioning that fact is hypocritical or lazy?

You are equating climate activists with a terrorist organization.

Have climate activists killed thousands of people?

And FYI - the climate activists have not destroyed the paintings. The paintings were protected by glass.
