You could start with an HTML page and vanilla JS. Use Bootstrap, Tailwind, whatever with a <link> tag. But then instead of a build system, you're wrestling with home-grown infra if it's not cloud.

The need for a build system should become apparent, but only once you're comfortable with the idea.

Without make, you were running `cc` or `gcc`. Even your previous languages may have had a big "Play" button in the IDE. Usually even those invocations are--behind the scenes--basically one super long command.

Classic ASP is another option. It's on Windows, IIS is free, and Azure (Microsoft cloud) supports it.

By the way, it appears Delphi is alive and well via Embarcadero [1].

If you pick Delphi and a web framework, you can put it in a Docker container and run it in the cloud. The "build" mechanism in that case is whatever you need from the container image's OS to bootstrap Delphi runtime, but that's well worth learning.

I have no particular idea how long it will take or how much such a robot will end up costing. I can see the use case, but I've only ever done hardware as an amateur, never professionally.
That's right -- unfortunately Firefox doesn't support WebRTC Insertable Streams, which we use for end-to-end encryption. It's on their roadmap but not there yet. (And I am primarily a Firefox user, so this is a disappointment for me as well.) Any chromium-based browser, such as Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge, etc. will work.
Well that didn’t take long:

I'll tell you what: if we didn't need to stream hidef movies, see pictures in the internet it would have not taken of like it did. Porn had a lot to do with the pace at which the progress was made.

Human curation (on their end, not SU users) is what made Stumbleupon great.

But human curation costs money, and can't (yet!!11~ scream the AI folks) be replaced by AI, so here we are.
Yeah, the filesystem has no "array append" operation, it's usually hamfisted into place by writing to a special key in the dictionary. Having a native fs op for "append to dir" would solve some small level of Plan 9 awkwardness...
Does Argentina have an extradition treaty with the US? What realistic can the US do to get him?
Thanks for this response. Yeah, agree on TF&S, just kinda lumped it in there since it's about understanding yourself for better results (to me)

Do you have insights on how you discovered joy/contentment in the process of learning new things? From a different perspective, it seems clear that the reward for effort isn't realized during the process. Unwrapping a chocolate bar is effort necessary to realize a reward of chocolate. It's clearly possible to feel good while unwrapping the chocolate in anticipation of the reward, but it seems challenging to enjoy the process of unwrapping the chocolate bar with the belief no reward is forthcoming.
I know plenty of people who exercise a lot and are still idiots. I also used to be very fit, but I only felt cognitively sharper after learning a lot of different complex stuff over time
Did you just call GP a paper hands?

Because any profitable trader will tell you just how stupid that logic is.
holy tamole that's incredible.

EDIT: posted too short a comment...

I had a ZX81 in the early 80s and... the level of visual sophistication shown in this game - and others by the author - is simply astounding. Knowing what I know about the hardware, and the patience I had just to type in basic stuff... these are just beyond words (though I kept trying here anyway!).
Out of curiosity, why wouldn’t one of your target customers just generate the image (outside of your product) and use an existing / popular made to order t-shirt service?
Elon Musk Twitter Blues: The Mega List
> Yeah, whaetever, as devops for Twitter is some huge mystery, or the codebase is so deep.
This isn't Photoshop or Clang, it's a glorified IM app.

So in my perspective (and similar but not exactly same experience), the problems of maintaining a social graph and recommendation engine at that scale would make Twitter significantly more complex than a standard instant messaging app, since all the data can’t be stored in a simple distributed k-v store. Even one of the developers at WhatsApp said so. Do you have a different experience?
I think the key word here is regular. That goes for crosswords, etc. as well.
The mind is humanity's most lethal weapon. With the "right" mindset the entire universe can become a weapon. Efforts to reduce violence tend to focus on the presence of concrete weapons (because this is easier to quantify and measure etc) with much less focus on violent ideation and the root causes of the various forms of interpersonal violence.

Reducing violence is a tricky thing because to a large extent it seems to me to be a symptom of broader and nearly intractable societal malaise. Not that it isn't worth removing nuclear weapons from circulation but the returns diminish quicker than most public policy folks seem to want to admit.
They tried, but made the mistake of stopping once the low-level stuff was done. Welcome to Webcomponents, it can do what you currently use Angular, Vue, or React for, but it only covers the plumbing, not the actual kitchen itself, so you either have to write your own kitchen, try to mimic the kitchens that vue/angular/react/etc already made, or use a kitchen made by someone else and hope that does everything you needed.

Which is an unfortunate side-effect of the whole "JS is about giving people APIs to make things with, not dictate what those things are" philosophy. In this specific case, that leads to APIs that technically cover the needs, while also offering exactly nothing that people can "just use" for writing UIs that are natively understood by the browser.
Simple resistor signaling wouldn’t work for current sharing; two EVSEs with a single 40A supply [32A continuous] can advertise 32A if only one is in use and switch to 16A if both are in use. (Same concept extends to a larger pool of EVSEs which can limit to a max total current across the pool.)
Installing BeOS on a TAM
> no scripting support ... No SQL

It's mostly about concentration of responsibilities, or as they say on Unix: "do one thing and do it well". Scripting support can easily be delegated to other projects (LeanQt inherits meta and introspection facilities of Qt which make dynamic bindings easy to accomplish, see e.g. this one for Lua: https://github.com/rochus-keller/NAF/tree/master/Script2); the same applies to database integration and other topics.
I keep reporting the fake SpaceX ones. Old live talk with Elon and Jack.
It's solved natively without build tools too: native CSS module scripts for importing and shadow DOM for applying the styles with scoping.
Comparing cryptocurrency to file-sharing seems like the exact opposite of the point you're tying to make. Microsoft and many game publishers use file-sharing for updates and content distribution. Legitimate user file-sharing (via Dropbox, etc) is ubiquitous among the computer-literate. Piracy and related activities are still flourishing and still use file-sharing.
This reminds me of the freenode vs liberachat thing, where everyone left freenode when that was taken over (more like a coup).

Will be curious how this plays out, but based upon some recent news, does not look good at all for twitter
> brain are eventually independent of my thoughts

Let's name it. The aliqot state. Or getting to Aliqot.
The dude who owns the company I work for is (probably) a billionaire and people who work here generally like him.

I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say beloved but he doesn’t really do anything that would make people dislike him.
On the other hand, 7% people who have ever lived are alive now. The great philosophers of the past lived at a time when the global population cumulative population was much lower, as was literacy and education in general. I would argue there should dozens of socrates or lao-tzu level philosophers walking around right now.
Google Docs/Forms/Sheets/etc, anything with an image proxy, probably Microsoft's Office Online stuff tho I personally haven't used it, webpush connections, the possibilities are endless.
CDDL isn't an especially terrible license in isolation (it's basically Mozilla) but it is generally considered incompatible with GPL which, depending upon which set of 20 year old memories from ex-Sun employees you're inclined to believe, was more or less a deliberately nefarious state of affairs.

Oracle owns most/all of the copyrights and Canonical was willing to take a calculated risk after, presumably, some back-channel discussions. But those companies with something to actually lose from a lawsuit with Oracle or organizations with strong free software principles aren't going anywhere close. Oracle has had a long time to change the license if they actually cared to.

Personally, I find it unfortunate that all the effort that has gone into ZFS as essentially a hobbyist copy-on-write filesystem didn't go into btrfs instead.
But do you really work out?
> amateur chemistry

Ah, those were the days. Back in the 80s my parents bought us a chemistry set from a thrift store that was probably 20 years old already. It was actually set up to teach some practical chemistry by providing a mystery substance and a set of reagents that would help you figure out what the substance was. Ten year old me just cut to the finish line and tasted the mystery substance - it was sugar.
True, but this isn't having so much to do with the fillet itself, but with the child geometry referencing outputs of the fillet command like edges and surfaces of the fillet. It you go back later and then change the fillet radius, delete it and add another in its place, etc. Those references get messed up.
> While immersing in deep focused studying or exercising my mind by learning new stuff, makes me feel a lot better and much sharper.

I certainly agree with you on this. In my case, a healthy lifestyle makes taking on new challenges much easier: I'm less intimidated, and less frustrated by the slope of the inevitable learning curve.
> I would say that in the long run it's Kotlin that's "in danger" as Java becomes more and more a "better Java" itself. There is not much stuff left in Kotlin these days (besides the nicer syntax) that is still missing in Java. And it gets less with every Java release. As Kotlin, mostly "just a better Java", has not much to offer besides some syntax sugar it will have a hard stand against a future Java, imho.

There are two things that I miss any time I try to go back to Java from Kotlin, and recent improvements haven't helped matters:

1) Null safety. Java has Optional now, but most of the standard library still may or may not return null, and you have to read the javadoc to find out if you should be handling for null.

2) The collections library. Kotlin has the most comprehensive and consistent collections library I've ever seen in any statically typed language; it's comparable to Python in expressive power. Java doesn't even come close.

The features that Java has adopted (sealed interfaces, records, etc) are nice, but not the core of why I use Kotlin.
Jeez. In her last Tweets which were sent just 6 days ago, she states:

I wonder how long it takes to compile on an RPi. I tried it once with the full Qt build and gave up :) Of course, I should have cross-compiled but I guess I didn't want it enough.
Yes. I made a game for S60, in 2004. I agree the SDK and the API were poor. But I think the real mistake they made was failing to build an app store. IIRC I think they might have had some kind of rudimentary app store but it wasn't accessible to mere mortals. The only way I could figure out how to distribute my game was to post it as a freely downloadable file on the web, which I did. I have no idea whether anybody ever downloaded it. If they had just made it easy for developers to distribute their apps then I think history might have been quite different.
We wrote about our journey[0] to sanity after Tailwind:

The answer is to do it all in strategic moderation: Use a subset of tailwind just for spacing and layout and revel in simple things being simple. Use modular CSS for UI patterns and revel in the readability of your HTML and visual consistency of your UI. And then use custom scoped CSS where required, and revel in interesting things being only as hard as need be, without ruining everything else along the way.

Until they get replaced one day and then go out of business.

This usually takes 5-10 years longer than customers would like.
The only thing the article mentioned about a contribution of internet to porn is “high def streaming” but with no supporting evidence. The first thing that got most people wanting high speed internet was Napster.
Yes, it'll produce a brownout at the outlet, but it's highly unlikely that this will manifest as a brownout at any of the component voltages, because there are so many layers of filtering. That <120V goes through a switched-mode power supply which converts that down to 20ish V, which goes to a battery charger IC which charges the battery, which outputs a variable voltage that goes through multiple more layers of monitored DC/DC conversion to generate the power rails. Every one of these steps has circuitry that will panic and send a signal to the main PMIC if it sees a voltage that is out of spec.
Don’t worry, you didn’t miss anything. The article is trash. Completely irrelevant.
I really wish the North American adapter’s direct-to-wall connector (the one that’s not a cable) came in an optional 3-prong configuration. As it is, I have to bring an extra cord around with me any time I bring my laptop somewhere, simply to ensure it’s grounded. (I used to get those shocks from it too, until I did, and I really don’t want to go back to them, let alone know what they’re doing to the electronics.)
IMHO the kitchensink like approach of adding more features to Linux misses the point of the simplicity of plan9. Representing & accessing resources as file systems was the real insight. If the OS provides N different ways of doing something, it has to continue supporting that which has a real cost. I once compared compiling plan9 & Linux from scratch on the original RaspberryPi. 1 minute versus many hours. Granted that the Linux kernel does a lot more and supported a few more devices on 'pi and plan9 pushes more drivers in the user space but even compiling everything on it took about 4 minutes. That included Ghostscript and two editors and the windowing system and more.
the socket in my car can't be changed unless the vendor produced an upgrade kit, which is very unlikely to ever occur. it would be "use an inconvenient $250 adapter (that doesnt yet exist) every time you charge at a DC station"
I guess I'm really ignorant of the whole DeFi ecosystem and how it works and so maybe this isn't feasible, but I would think keeping 100% of Bitcoin and Monero (even if their prices crash a further 80%) would be better than going into these very easily controlled stablecoin.
Exactly. In my case, it would take 5 minutes in Solidworks.

This really adds up when you design hundreds or thousands of parts and assemblies a year. The added cost of the software is negligible in comparison to the labor savings.
FYI, component styles in Sciter can be placed directly in JS module using `CSS.set` string literal (gets compiled at runtime to special style set object).

The style set is a collection of styles rules local (rooted at) to the component.
:root denotes the component to which styleset is applied.

The style set definition is strictly local to the component - rules inside it do not pollute global style table. That is close to <style scoped> to anyone who remember such thing.

Here is how styled component.js module looks like:

const padding = "12px";

const styleset = CSS.set`
:root {
color: var(--theme-color);
padding:${padding};
background: var(--theme-back);
}

:root > em {
color: gold;
}`

export class TestComponent extends Element {
render() {
return <div styleset={styleset}>
Hello <em>Embedded</em> Style Set
</div>;
}
}

IMHO, that's the best of two worlds - components may have local styles principal for their operation, and to use global styles that define macro properties like themed colors, etc.
Lol. Yeah, I'm sure SBF is planning to try to get a couple hundred million out by showing up at a few Cuevas.

People don't even bother to stop for 5 minutes to ask if their conspiracy theories make sense even if everything in the theory is true.
So Ur- comes from Urdeutsch? :-)
I am also interested in finding this out. So far, I've done a lot of teaching/training with Java but I am playing with Common Lisp and would love to see how others use it in education

I always find this article[1] interesting that talks about why MIT stopped using Lisp

It depends on distance from EMP device.

For less than kilometer (mile), you need Faraday cage and all io devices inside it, and/or protected by NATO standard protection, and all these measures does not guarantee.

For tens kilometers or more, electrically simplest surge filter will be enough, sure good to have UPS, but after first few seconds, this will only affect radio communications (more long wave, less UWB/microwave, like wifi), because extremely disturbances of ionosphere.

To be exact, will be up to 20 hours strong low frequency waves (from hundreds Hz, up to tens MHz), they will affect power lines, railroad signaling (they are just few tens volts), copper networks, similar techs.

As I know, ionosphere is transparent for 100+MHz, on which modern computers operate.

Disgusting. Everyone trusted him because he and his family are basically washington insiders. He used that trust to scam millions of people. Just goes to show if you become buddy buddy and make contributions to congress you can get away with anything...
How do you protect your fig trees in the winter? I used to pack leaves and straw around them and wrap in plastic, but I didn’t like the resulting mold in the spring.

Last year I just used bubble wrap and plastic, but a lot of the smaller branches died.

Sigh wish I could do that. Going to be next life.
A large part of attraction of NetHack Learning Environment is availability of large human play dataset, including expert demonstrations. While I agree playing dungeon master sounds fun, that game lacks such data.
Nope. There’s nothing new in the way COVID deaths are reported, and in fact making the distinction you’re demanding is what would be the break from standard practice. Death certificates have for decades had contributory causes listed with the main one being the most proximate cause.

For instance if someone has severe hypertension and then has a heart attack both are usually listed but the heart attack is the cause of death.

I don’t see any need to debunk it further because the claim is patent nonsense and I’m surprised to see anyone still repeating it after all this time.
Just set multiple reminders on your phone throughout the day to get up and do a little bit of exercise. A five minute walk, two minutes of jumping jacks, and three push-ups are better than nothing.
Twitter’s Advertising Exodus Accelerates, Despite Outreach from Elon Musk
Here is a book recommendation for you: Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

Everyone and their dog hates Thiel nowadays but the ideas in the book ring true more than ever. Here is one of the questions asked in the book: “What important truth do very people agree with you on?”

Some people see the potential for crypto and believe in it. Most people think it's a scam. And it may eventually collapse and go to 0. But the point here is that for radical new things conventional ways of thinking rarely work out.
Another way to do it is by coupling price cuts to migrations to the new service.

(This only works if the old service is secure and maintainable enough to run indefinitely.)
China is very, very big business for internet companies. They're not going to risk that just to protect political dissidents.

Inside the continental US, if you fly a small not-turbine-engine-powered airplane yourself and only go to rural airports with no tower, it is actually legal to have no transponder (see below, 91.215(b), 91.225(b)).

But, if the transponder is installed, you are legally required to turn it on at all times no matter where you are (see 91.215(b)(3), "all controlled airspace" means everything above 700-1200ft AGL (depending on exactly where)).

So for this to be legal, you can't just turn if off: you have to actually remove it from the airplane. Whether that is legal additionally depends on the airplane.

for me it's complicated. sometimes i do get into those deep thoughts on long solo rides, but i found that i couldn't really concentrate on complicated issues enough without neglecting my concentration on the road. i did have a couple of good ideas from time to time, but it wasn't a regular experience and highly dependend on the type of riding. moreover, i run the risk of forgetting about the good ideas if the ride goes on for several more hours and i fall into other deep thought mind traps.

if i do structured training i try to stay concentrated on the task at hand, i.e. pedalling technique, breathing, recovery (heart rate), keeping watts constant, controlling cadence and so on. i do long virtual endurance rides with the ERG on but tend to watch entertaining movies.

i don't seem to get into deep though states much during weightlifting, as the lifts require me to be concentrated and fully focussed and the pauses are too short to get lost on the one hand and require active recovery on the other.

the big difference here is that most people who want to use training time for intellectual improvement just listen to podcasts, but that's not really an option for me as i'm hearing impaired and barely understand anything.
Yes. Look into Go. Between the conversions and source placement, the built-in "go" tool understands source placement and how to compile everything. No configuration, project file, Makefile, Autoconfig, Configure file needed.
Gone forever, not “trapped”
Yes, this helps a lot! For me, it also helps to have a training plan, or simply calendar events that remind me what exercise I should do at a given day. Usually this allows me to trick my mind and avoids the decision whether or not I should exercise and I will "stupidly" do what the calendar says. This made it much easier to develop a habit.
Is this a thing where it makes a big difference even if you’re typically sedentary, or you have to be pretty active over a long period (e.g. years/decades) to make a real difference?
This was my biggest “a-ha” realization around crypto, that the distribution model is utterly and irreparably broken for the most popular currencies. Whenever I bring this up with BTC/crypto maximalists their counterpoint is that fiat is also unevenly distributed and that it’s not a novel problem. The disconnect is truly puzzling.
