This is great. One of the biggest problems with electrodes is the density and precision has a low ceiling and this appears to effectively address that issue.

Einstein thought that being a patent clerk was a good way to go. He did ok. More seriously, you have to pick a job that allows you to live but isn’t so physically draining or mentally deadening that you can’t think. Lash yourself to the wheel for 10-20 years, make a pile and you’re home free. Might have to choose where you live but the nets everywhere.

Tailwind UI is a commercial product, no? Whether the checkbox CSS meets the threshold for copyright or not, I'm not sure encouraging folks to copy its styles is a great idea.
The closed signups on mastodon.social are only temporary. They've really had a huge spike of signups after Musk took over Twitter and people jumped boats, as well as a lot of automatically generated spam accounts that mods are still trying to prune. I'm quite confident that signups will reopen once the situation gets back in control.

When it comes to muting, in my experience you don't have to mute 98% of the profiles. Spam usually comes from a handful of instances that are relayed to the instance you're registered - in the Fediverse instances can relay to one another, and tap into each other's feeds. If you have a lot of spam, that's usually because of the content from 3-4 relayed instances. Good instance admins usually intervene in this cases and mute that spam on instance level. If they don't, you can usually mute those few instances yourself, instead of muting every individual account.

Shameless plug but here how I manage my personal servers with K3s (kubernetes) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33406938

I stopped using configuration management a while ago for my servers because they are too complex and fragile for a sporadic usage.
My main issue is that you need to use them daily in order to keep them working and for you to keep muscle memory.

For a time I tried to restrict myself to only Debian package, but with the time I felt like it was too restrictive, and not enough flexible.

I also tried Nix and really liked it, but my main issue was me having to google every time I wanted to make a change due to config file/package being awful to write/remember.

Maybe you will take a different path, but for personal usage, configuration management is really a waste of time imho, the frequency at which you will touch files will be low, and your tool/setup will become outdated before you realize it.
And nowaday everything run inside a container, so you will have to adapt your tool to manage docker/podman/docker-compose at some point

>never saw anyone using Alpine as the infrastructural distro for their, say like desktop environment akin to Manjaro and Fedora

Alpine runs musl libc. This makes it buggy with all sorts of software that rely on glibc-isms, that makes it incompatible with proprietary drivers like NVIDIA and make it harder to run proprietary/binary software on the userland.

musl is developed by people with that sort of break-everything attitude :
https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/994629795551031296

There is a world of pain that awaits anyone with the expectation that this sort of distro could be used on a workstation.

Musl is really meant to be run.. with software vetted by communities like https://suckless.org/

Meaning things like dwm, dmenu, st.

Which may or may not be one's cup of tea. It certainly ain't mine.
I think Pico-8 tries to capture the spirit of 8-bit computing more than the reality. The most popular 8-bit computers came with a BASIC, and many home users (me at the time included) programmed that to move some sprites around, and never really went into assembly language. Lua seems more inspired by BASIC than most modern languages, so Pico-8 feels like coding for a very friendly 8-bit computer with an ultra-high-powered BASIC. But it doesn't really simulate an actual CPU that this BASIC interpreter would run on.
Priorities. Materials used in batteries are something that can be managed, like any other toxic industrial chemicals. Emissions go up in the air, and are creating an extinction-level threat. It's important to think of the former, but trying to turn it into a deal-breaker is just suicidal.
It's specifically talking about the government. In this case, it was the government doing the censorship so first amendment applies.
As a general thing the average user does not want freedom; they want safety.

What you are saying might still make sense for firefox because they need to find some sort of niche given their falling market share, and power users is a potential one. However i would disagree that in general its a good strategy for winning the market as a whole.
Tailwind UI's checkboxes (https://tailwindui.com/components/application-ui/forms/check...) are fine, accessibility-wise. They can be tabbed to using the keyboard, they are proper <input type="checkbox"> elements in the DOM, they can be activated using the space key, they can be activated by clicking on their label.
The article makes a major mistake: it uses Tokyo Metropolis (Tokyo-to, basically "Tokyo State", area 2,194.07 km2) for comparisons, not central Tokyo (23-ku, aka the former Tokyo City, area 619 km2). So it's basically the same as saying houses in New York are much larger than those in Paris, because you're comparing all of New York State including housing in Buffalo etc with the 20 arrondissements of central Paris.

> Even more striking is that more people in Tokyo live in detached houses compared to apartments (30%) than in New York (16.3%) and Paris (12.3%).

I'm pretty sure this "striking" fact is an artifact of including a whole lotta suburbs, exurbs and farms in the Tokyo stats. Very few people live in detached houses within the 23-ku.

TL;DR: Housing in greater Tokyo is indeed affordable, but as anyone who's seen a "one-room mansion" (read: tiny studio) can attest, it's rarely spacious.
Taxonomy is a demon which separates people into perfectionists and non-perfectionists just before dragging both the kinds to hell of exceptions, weird relations and impractical location. Perfectionists get stuck spending infinite amounts of time engineering the taxonomy, non-perfections face the quirks later.

Tags are better but can turn out to be even harder (for similar reasons, amplified combinatorially).

Labels are the most practical. The GMail inventor was genius. Folders must begone (except for system files).
> If you don't agree with their policies, you can switch to a different hoster without having to leave the ecosystem.

But you lose all of your followers, so in practice this is never done. You’re stuck with the censorship imposed by your chosen instance operator. Most are more strict and less transparent than Twitter.
Oh, Mac laptops used to do this, way back in the days of the polycarbonate MacBooks. Could be very annoying. It became less of an issue, even disappearing completely(?), once they moved to the aluminium bodies.
The headline does not match the article. The headline is "Massive pandemic relief fraud has Congress eyeing digital IDs" but it's not talking about it being an excuse for financial surveillance.

> McKinsey reports that this will make it easier to provide financial aid more effectively and quickly in the future. But it also unlocks potential opportunities to provide Americans with more privacy and security than traditional IDs typically give.

> For example, a driver’s license, which has become the default ID for most people in the country, has a vulnerable combination of sensitive information printed right on it: name, date of birth, and address. With digital IDs, the theory is that Americans can better protect sensitive information by relying on a QR code to share only the information needed for a transaction to be verified. This would limit the data collected by third parties that can then be seized by bad actors through data breaches

You're obviously very familiar with football but the accuracy here is so high I just had to point out that I've never heard "freezing the kicker". The idiom I hear most often is "icing" the kicker.
But they never mention removing WebRequest, only having DNR in addition where it makes sense for performance reasons (and for compatibility with chrome), not having it would be stupid. I’m all for slippery slope arguments, if they are well-founded, not if it sounds like wild conspiracy theories.
Yup, that's an interesting idea. Will keep a note of it when I decide to run the experiment. Thank you!
The text/markup distinction is one I’ve been thinking a lot about recently as I’ve been both working on my own lightweight markup language, and implementing a component-based website using Django/Jinja/Nunjucks/whatever-style templates. There are too many places where you end up with attribute-like syntax, but want to pass markup, and it sometimes becomes unclear whether you’re working with a string or markup, yet the two are definitely different—in HTML serialisation, one needs escaping, the other doesn’t; or in something like DOM, one’s a string and the other’s a fragment. I’ve become progressively more and more convinced that these kinds of template languages are quite bad at writing this sort of thing.

Take this example of unfortunate mixing:

{% somecomponent attr="value", title="<strong>A:</strong> B" %}
<strong>C:</strong> D
{% endsomeecomponent %}

Trouble is that you basically have at most one markup slot, but many things semantically want more than one. The closest you can generally get in such languages as these is the likes of this:

{% somecomponent attr="value" %}
<strong>A:</strong> B
{% body %}
<strong>C:</strong> D
{% endsomecomponent %}

This can be done in some such languages, but not others—and can’t be done in anything like XML. In XML, the solution would be extra nesting, which gets messy quickly:

<somecomponent attr="value">
<title>
<strong>A:</strong> B
</title>
<body>
<strong>C:</strong> D
</body>
</somecomponent>

In JSX I suppose you could do something like this, for better or for worse:

<SomeComponent attr="value" title={<><strong>A:</strong> B</>}>
<strong>C:</strong> D
</SomeComponent>

If you use a fragment/child nodes for what is logically a string value, you run the risk of people putting non-text in there; things like an href should clearly be strings, not text nodes—or else you have to decide what to do with <a><href>/<b>exam</b>ple</href>…</a>, and poorly-written DOM manipulators will surely occasionally assume the href element contains only one text node at times. But there’s then also the question of whether you want strings to be usable in text node context (probably the more pragmatic approach), or if you want to maintain a strong distinction between the two (probably the more correct approach).

For my own language, in the more macroy part (when you’re extending it beyond the basic elements), I’m maintaining a distinction between strings and markup fragments, using different delimiters for the two, with "…" for strings and {…} for fragments. I’m also treating attributes and children equivalently, having all as possibly-named children. The basic example could be something like this in my current syntax:

@somecomponent(attr: "value", title: {**A:** B}, {
**C:** D
})

It's not the government doing the censorship if the private site can choose to refuse. In this case both were in cahoots, but that was (is?) Twitter's prerogative.
Yeah, Messages device pairing should work perfectly for this.

Sleep state S3, where the memory is still powered, but other chips including the CPU are not. This is the classic sleep state.

These days we have "modern standby" instead, which keeps all things powered somewhat to allow for a quick wakeup by notifications for example. Just like your mobile phone. In theory, at least.
OCR hardly needed. Just read /dev/text.

I don't think the mouse chording is that essential to Plan 9. It's how rio and acme work, but those programs can be replaced without throwing away most of the OS concepts. I think you could absolutely create a Plan 9 UI that, for example, uses vi-like key bindings to jump around windows and text. Nobody's just done it yet and hardcore users are happy enough with what they have for now.
A justification of those priorities would include an explanation on why hydrogen is being pretty much ignored apart from niche uses.

I am not an expert so probably don't know many issues but on the face of it hydrogen seems much less disruptive than batteries.

Also, it is a bit easy to claim that we need to rush and have the luxury to make bad decisions. We have had decades and still have decades, and cannot change the whole infrastructure again in 10-20 years...

That's false, you just have to know/bribe someone who works there.
Can Acme be made to provide code-completion / Intellisense type features, similar to what Java and C# programmers expect? Can it provide a decent REPL, like iPython?
I interned at a web agency a long time ago and none of their technical people were more than integrators for WordPress and Drupal but sometimes they had to dable in custom modules and stuff like that, which was clearly not their strong suit.

Anyway, one of the modules had a piece of code that was checking what was in a mailbox, and the name of that function was literally "butWhatIsItThatThereIsInThatMailbox()".

For another project I used Laravel to make a website, and they needed to add a feature after it went to production but I was not working there anymore. I later learned that they just did a "mysql_connect" and ran their query directly in the view's template because they didn't know how to use the framework to make a DB query and pass the data to the view.

And they had HUGE clients that everyone has heard of.

So yeah, mind blowing.

I'll keep at it till I figure it out though.

If everyone is going to be full-time co-founders then each one getting 25% of crypto/equity compensation (i.e. "sweet equity").

If some of the co-founders are bringing an initial investment they should structure it as either a loan or a SAFE/SAFT (which may later convert into additional equity/tokens for them).

Are they going to get the same salary as you, or no salary at all?
In case they're not getting a salary you can take this into a/c and dial down your sweet equity to 10-15%. If they're all getting market salary, you need to up your sweet equity to 30-40%.

Last thing - unlike normal startups which are playing long-term game, Web3 co-s are short-term thingies, so it's better to get paid in crypto itself rather than in equity.

> My main issue with this project is that I feel like it will rely a lot on me and web3 people who know how to code in solidity are rare.

Coding in Solidity will be an important, but overall a very small part of your job as a CTO.

I wouldn't say that, people who can write secure or formally-verified smart contracts are rare, but there are lots of Solidity coders, the whole point of Solidity was to reduce the barrier to entry for smart contract developement.

This is a good default for the server use-case, to prevent developers and sysadmins launching stealth long-running jobs. (Especially if they steal resources.)

The idea is you'd run batch jobs and services explicitly via systemd-run.
I'm not saying we haven't progressed. what I mean to say is that, at the moment, we could have an _even more_ efficient economy if we had more competition and less rent seeking. Less propping up of 'zombie companies' and more 'creative destruction'

> isn't designed

You're right. A more nuanced way to say this is 'emerged' from power structures and incentives. Economics is the study of a world where all political problems have been solved. e.g. a convoluted and overburdening tax system ... not properly managing negative externalities ... money in politics

> the bottom 20% are objectively much better off in terms of food and health than Mill's time.

I agree but 'what got us here, wont get us there' especially if we wind up in a 'distributed tech neo-feudal system' where 'lords' own so much of the means of production (was land now IP stocks etc) they cannot be outcompeted / supplanted without violence.

I'd love to see a long-form study of addicts attracted to software development.

I'm an alcoholic and love nothing more than solving a really difficult software (or other problem). I think the two are related but likely not causally one way or the other. Probably just associated. But what would a statistical study do other than estimate your probable likelihood of whatever cause?

Get to know yourself. Any way you can. Watch out for the side-effects of any suggested medications. KEEP A DIARY. And especially don't fret if you fail at getting better. A little better is awesome any time you manage it. Perfect is not available.

All the very best, and if genes are on your side, you might be having a gin for the queen when you are 86, even if you don't succeed at being the best recovering hero everyone around you thinks they need you to be.

Mostly, get to know yourself. Therapy is scary but crazy good if have a go at it. 1% efforts compound. And you are not alone. Unfortunately, you'll likely be surrounded by the 95% who don't know addiction intimately, but look for those who do.

Cheers again. Peace and love to you and those you touch.
The issue that people have is not that they can see it.

It’s that other people can see it.

Filter lists for one’s own experience are not the goal of that outrage. Keeping certain information from spreading to others (controlling what third parties can see) is the desire.

The censorship urge is not “I am offended by this”, but more “if my neighbors read things like this, I am afraid”.

I think it stems from a low-trust society and the assumption that the median members of society lack critical thinking skills.
