That's fair. Not a problem for me, and I am definitely remote.

You can have a very similar setup close to civilization, it just costs a lot more.

For instance, in my region, acreage might go as little as about $2000/acre still. But when you get close to town, you might pay 10k/acre or more, even "out here." Town meaning a county seat or something, not a metropolis.

Anyway, I chose it because it was remote. I can still get USPS and UPS deliveries, though, so Amazon is on the table. I relied on it heavily in the beginning; I find I don't have to buy many things now.

There is also a very big difference in dev experience/toolset and dev velocity between RoR templates and React. Large apps that use RoR or Django templates become very messy and unenjoyable to work with over time. Plus being able to reuse parts of the state on the client is a big productivity boost.

For me personally API+front end is a much cleaner and productive paradigm than having to pass massive dictionaries from a controller to a template. This separation of concerns allows to focus on and optimize data sources/retrieval and UI/rendering independently. Really nice!

Kraken is based in SF and has various US regulatory attachments and thus auditing obligations. It is specifically not an offshore operation. It’s also been around for a long time.

Among crypto exchanges Kraken is definitely on the legitimate side of the spectrum.

Somebody should create a kind of credit rating for exchanges to rate their risk and legitimacy.
> isn’t that because we’re getting healthier and healthier?

Not necessarily, just look at the obesity epidemic. 40% of Americans are now obese. Not overweight, obese. Our society has tackled large scale public health issues that used to kill lots of people (cholera, polio, etc.) But living longer is no way an indicator that we are healthier than we used to be. There's not as much out there to kill us when we're young.

Bloomberg News once tried to track down Tether's supposed commercial paper holdings [0]. It's a small market with just over a dozen major players, and Tether's claimed holdings would put them in the top 10. Bloomberg called a few of those firms, nobody had ever heard of or transacted with them. This smells of Maddoff 10 miles against the wind.

I think that there is a lot of competition for high-salary positions. Try lowering your salary requirements. Possibly by a lot. There will be less competition for positions with less competitive pay.

You could also consider trying to find a niche and start building a product or service. Maybe for a bootstrapped startup in a related business so there is a little pay, but make it clear that you are building a tool to sell to everyone.
Agreed, but it's absolute paradise when you're stuck in CDG.
Truthfully, I haven't had fig trees before. My neighbor (and uncle) has some that I love the fruit of, so I got some myself.

That said, I don't think he does anything. They need watered the first growing season, if there's not enough rain, and that's it. They grow well here with no insect pressure, climate issues, etc.

Our winters are mild, and we rarely get below-zero temps. Usually a couple overnights each year.
If so those users should be flagged for being politically illiterate.

Reframing, satire, and turning the opponent’s talking points around on them are common rhetorical and polemical tools.

In fact, why not turn it back on the middle/upper middle class?

> (it turns out my office really needs a fan as the single plant on the opposite side of the room is failing to keep up even with my sedentary exhaling)

A human exhales about 1 kg of CO2 in a day (24 hours). That is about 270 grams of C. You'd need enough plants to sequester 270 grams of carbon, or about 0.5 kg of biomass (dry weight) per day, to "keep up" with your exhaling. This is much more than one houseplant.
Really sorry to hear your story.

I spend 2.5 years diagnosed with acid reflux due to waking up with a horrible taste in my mouth. It was awful, I’d wake up at 3am every night and could rarely get back to sleep.

After years of tests - they all came up blank. I was then referred to an ENT doctor. Diagnosed a nasal drip issue (mucus dripping down my throat) causing the horrible taste and I was virtually cured in 2 weeks.

Go read 1: the Princeton study proving our “democracy” is a sham since the votes of the people have no impact on policy, and 2: the longgg Wikipedia article detailing all the foreign coups we’ve been involved in.

Let’s start with overturning Citizens United and congressional term limits, then we can talk about “meddling” in our politics.
Does "most" popular thing actually matter? Or is it mostly choosing X because everyone else choose X as well?

I mean we aren't talking about a rewrite in Mithril.js here. It's not hard to find people that want to work in vue, svelte, or solid. These three also seem to beat react at every benchmark (also nearly everything is better than react performance wise it seems).

I honestly wonder how much bloat and loss of performance we're wasting on hundreds of millions of clients because companies and teams and orgs are no longer opting for better experiences thru experimentation or choosing better tools but simply chasing after wrong KPIs set by people that don't care about tech.
I knew this song well when I was a teenager and I always imagined it was a story from Prince's own childhood and because I dont totally trust him as a narrator I always thought he had embellished it in some way. It seemed to have too much whimsy in it. e.g. maybe there was a quirky girl in his school but 'Cynthia Rose' was probably a made up name to rhyme with something. So its really quite startling to hear it was someone elses story and a real name.

I never really could make sense of this verse?

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress

With different color socks

Sometimes, I wondered

If the mates were in her lunch box

Me and Lucy opened it

When Cynthia wasn't around

Lucy cried, I almost died

You know what we found?

'mates' in her lunch box? What does that even mean?

I used to assume that the suprise in the lunch box was that it was empty. And the song was about a whimsical girl in difficult circumstances using her imagination to get around a shitty home life and not enough food.

But now I know its about a neurodivergent child. But in that case, what was in the lunch box?
One thing they did at Github years ago was get closer to the metal by ditching JQuery. You can do the same things - and more - with ES6 and updated browser support pretty much across the board. Nowadays you don't even need a transpiler.

Which spurious signals do you mean? I'm assuming you're talking about stuff well outside the intended sidebands that result from the modulation.

If we were talking about AM I would assume you mean the audio signal isn't bandlimited and so high-frequency audio components get upconverted by the carrier frequency, but I don't know what the spectrum of an FM signal looks like. Are we talking about a broad comb that results in an analogous way from sudden changes in the frequency? Do they go away if you vary the frequency of a 50%-duty-cycle square wave smoothly, like maybe with second- or third-order continuity, instead of suddenly?

> Your argument is depending on the existence of ever increasing numbers of new activities to consume the energy

There are literally an infinite number of useful activities that consume energy. The only limit is at some point we transform so much energy that the earth becomes unlivable because we can't vent it fast enough. At that point we'd have to give up and ... oh wait, no. We'd use the energy to move off the planet. Energy solves that problem too!

If we could work with them cost effectively humanity could probably find a use for every joule of energy in the universe. Every single one. Because in the limit, energy can basically fabricate new mass out of nothing and make a universe perfectly hospitable to a very large number of humans - a race that grows exponentially. Whatever the limits are we're nowhere near reaching them with what we have right now.

> No, it would not be unusual for them to use less energy overall

In that case we'd see a country somewhere with steady electricity prices and shrinking demand. I don't think that country exists. Do you have some examples in mind? Because the countries I've seen that use less energy tend to have massively spiking energy prices, usually because they just ran out of available fossil fuels.

You are taking a bold stance. Jevon came up with the paradox after observing that this specific effect applies in energy markets. They observed the effect contemporary to the Watt being named the Watt. You're going to need a stronger argument than "I reject..." and "I think...". Because the Jevons' argument is an "Economists have observed and come up with a theory to explain...".
I actually disagree — GitHub has been relatively slow for me when it comes to page transitions. For example, switching between a PR’s various tabs would probably be a lot faster with client rendering.

Of course, performance will come down to how well the team builds the site and optimizes it. It is very easy to make a site slow in so many different ways. You always have to be looking at and optimizing it for improvements, both on the client and server. React isn’t immune to this, just as various server frameworks aren’t immune to it either.
Aren't RAM latencies due to refresh etc. at least 100X what the wire-delay from speed of electric signal would add to having it farther from the CPU?
I think it would be more constructive to propose a constrained subset, get rid of legacy, propose default behaviours for parts that are undefined and so on. Stuff that does not belong to this subset can still be used within an unconstrained clause.

If I read e.g. "Why build Carbon?" on https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang I dont find any concrete reasons or proves that show why C++ should be abandoned for something completely new but somehow very similar. There are so many question around the actual language definition like who maintains it, how is the standardization process. Who will adapt to it or to something else. ... This seems all so utopic.

I have been using C++ for many years with fantastic success. It allows me to create all I want/need from embedded to high performance projects.
That you may shot you in the foot is in fact not bad. It compels you to be careful and think deeply about the design and only use what you completely understand.

With other languages your program might not crash but probably will do wrong things like eat up memory or access still references outdated data. You will find error much later in the process when it costs multiple magnitudes more.

> a machine in my bedroom that is capable of raising the CO2 level.

It doesn't have to be so complex. It could be as simple as a little canister that you simply take up, open in the bedroom, and empties itself (for a room of a given m³), then turn ventilation on low and go to sleep. The CO2 level would spike to the target level in a minute or so (presumably not a dangerous level, just one that makes you temporarily less smart and attentive) and then has some half life depending on your ventilation method.

I'm not a doctor, I have no idea if it's smart to raise the level to 3, 4, idk how many thousand ppm are being proposed for this, even if it's for only 30 minutes or whatever. Just saying, I don't see obstacles to doing this safely if the action itself is safe.

Awesome! Thank you for the thoughtful response. It's really encouraging to hear that a RCVG™ is building using Bevy and happy with it! I'll start playing this weekend based on that feedback.

I am not super interested in an editor-driven approach at the moment, but perhaps I'll regret that as the project grows in complexity.

Thanks for the specific remarks on WASM, Animation FX, etc. I'll be happy with those problems if I can get my project to the point of experiencing them.

Good luck on your project! Let me know when it's out and I'll give it a spin :)
The problem isn't the amount of data but the number of round trips required to get it.

Imagine you need to do the following calls to get the page rendered with the various information different parts of the page has:

1. Get user information

2. Get projects for user

3. Get the selected project

Now, if this was all server side rendered, it might take 1ms to go to the database and get the various bits of info, or 3ms for 3 sequential requests.

With a react app and say 250ms of latency to the database, you're looking at 750ms of overhead - 200x slower.

Of course you can architect all your APIs to always return everything the user needs so they don't have to do multiple requests, but that has its own drawbacks and honestly is very difficult to do and plan ahead for, especially at scale with multiple consumers of various APIs.

I’ll pick up the pen and give it a go.

I argue that lack of understanding and communication is why there is even a war. The war only benefits a small amount of people, the various authorities of NATO and Russian authorities depending who wins. NATO authorities stand to gain by threatening Russia leading up the war, which can be used as leverage in other negotiations to exploit Russia, and Russian authorities stand to gain for whatever spoils it gets, and reducing the threat of NATO presence in Ukraine. But what about all us individual people, and solders duped into fighting this war?

The war doesn’t help the common people in the rest of the world, people in Ukraine, or the common people in Russia, with the sanctions hurting the economics and people’s livelihood. The war doesn’t benefit the solders dying.

But because the communication is influenced/controlled by the various authorities, a mass lack of understanding of how we as individual people can work together exists. We think we have to kill each other, but do we? There is propaganda, and lies being spread to help make it happen, which is the opposite of understanding. We have thousands of people spending their time killing each other. Instead of helping out, understanding each other, finding the balance of meeting each others needs. We have people listening to the various authorities that tell us to go threaten and kill each other. If we don’t listen, we may be threatened by people who do, people that don’t understand that this is a waste of time that could be spent doing something beneficial.

In the end, way more people will be left suffering than those who benefited, including the ones on the ground actually pulling the trigger, making it happen. If we could come to this understanding together, as individuals, without the corruption of authorities trying to manipulate us into killing each other, would we still be fighting? I don’t think so. Even the authorities, will they achieve peace and happiness, since now they will have to constantly watch their back, fear losing their power, double down on their lies to stay in power, because they now created more enemies, suffering, and hate?
