I did the same thing. I'll always love Emacs and it's still better for editing code, but the reality is I spend more time searching, debugging and reading code now than writing or even editing, and VSCode is just better at that.
> Some of us do.

I live in a suburb outside of a large metro area. Not at all considered rural. The only internet provider we had when I moved from my old house to this new suburb was Xfinity (Comcast). The ISP I had previously did not have service in my area and after an exhaustive search, the best I company I could find that WAS NOT Xfinity was a commercial DSL line with a dedicated 5Mbps up and down line for the same cost as and Xfinity line with a 400Mbps up and 15Mbps down. It wasn't even close. I also had to have this company install the line which would've been even more money.

In the end, it was pretty surprising how many areas still only have a single choice for their internet service.
> 3. Inflation. Instead of being a hedge on inflation, cryptocoins collapsed in the face of it.

I don't disagree with the other points but... That one remains to be seen. Bitcoin was precisely created as a gigantic middle finger to the central bank's endless money printing to bail out the financial system. That's the message in the genesis block ("Chancellor on the brink of second bank bail out": it's as political as it gets). The early adopters, before the poker players (Bitcoin was used to facilitate players-to-players transfer on poker sites before Silkroad and drugs where I thing IIRC), were libertarians and anarchists fed up with the FED.

This hasn't changed, so far. There are only going to ever be 21 million Bitcoin. Ethereum, at the moment, is deflationary (more ETHs are burned than created through proof-of-stake).

You get, what, 5% on your USD: great. But real inflation is, say, 12%. So that's still 7% down.

There's a price at which people are going to enter BTC and Ethereum with the promise that it won't be inflated to death.

Many may not like it. "Inflation in the two digits, good!. Helicopter Ben: savior of the economy. Bank bail outs mutualizing losses: perfection by our beloved state!".

But there are still people out there who see the value in something that cannot be printed at will.

I'd say especially so when the FTX and Tether of this world, at times in bed with officials, are printing at will their worthless token and dumping them on retail with the blessing of the New York Times.

> There are still inflation worries in the economy.

Precisely.

I'm certainly not keeping all my life savings in cryptocurrencies. I was all in cash after the war in Ukraine started and I'm certainly enjoying the firesales on many stocks right now (Stanley, Makita, ASML, Intel, 3M and a shitload of stocks I handpicked are totally on sale: it was time to sale when everybody was yelling "TINA" and the war in Ukraine started and it's time to buy now that everybody is yelling "falling knifes, it may fall another 90%"... Yeah, sure. If all the companies I handpicked are falling 90% more, I'll load up the truck and retire in a fancy yacht in a few years).

But this entire USDT/FTX scam (with the blessing of the SEC and CFTC), these shitty tokens created out of SBF's farts (sorry but it's how it is) and these centralized exchanges makes me want to go bullish on BTC / ETH. I'm waiting for tether to go bust to go in bigger.

Many hate it here: BTC may not be worth much but "your keys your coins" and as long as it's not totally outlawed, nobody is going to prevent me from storing BTC (mo matter their value) on a hardware wallet.

And f--k fractional reserve banking, f--k bail-ins (Cyprus), f--k the vicious states stealing people's money (Spain, where banks offered crazy return rates to their customers then defaulted on the principal) and certainly f--k mutualized bank bailouts.

I have zero confidence in USD / EUR. I have zero confidence in banks. I believe in stocks and, yes, in BTC and ETH on my own hardware wallet.

What do you mean by "one ring to organize them all"?

also, just curious why isn't it a challenge now (presumably at your current workplace)?
It seems the idea is to always assume the worst. Wouldn’t it be better to assume what’s most likely (some reluctant cooperation, I suppose) and escalate if there’s no cooperation?

Also, would anyone risk not cooperating? Wouldn’t that in itself be a more serious offense?
And the design is really refreshing. It looks like a native app in my iphone.
Great puzzle. I liked it so much that I saw your message about going live a few days ago already.

Is there any dynamic content generation involved? I am wondering because the Gateway timeout hints at something behind nginx being the bottleneck. Don't you just serve static files? Maybe you could configure nginx to cache dynamic resources if they only change once a day or even consider turning dynamic resources into static resources by generating them once per day and serving them as static files.
I've been using SingleFile for Firefox for a long time. Works great, and is way better than what I used to do when traveling in 2007, which was to go to an internet cafe, and save .html files to a USB stick for offline reading when I got back home.
"Not only will energy be an order of magnitude cheaper than today at zero marginal costs for much of the year; this in turn will create a new possibility space for business model innovation and value creation catalyzing clean prosperity within planetary boundaries."

This seems a bit too ebullient and I almost stopped reading.

But the idea that a transition to SWB can be executed for similar cost to current fossil fuel subsidies seems reasonable.
HTMX is a "HTML library" rather than a JS library. It just happens to be implemented in JS for necessary reasons.

>There’s a middle ground. He wasn’t a prophet but he wasn’t nobody either. He was a leading non-academic figure/celeb of EA that didn’t get too much pushback.

That's the non-controversial opinion, but where does this leave OP's comment? Should we push back more on billionaires in movements? Should we assume that everyone who's in movements is in it for cynical reasons? Or maybe only billionaires? A new yorker article on effective altruism suggests that SBF got in before his crypto riches. How does that work? Did SBF suddenly turn cynical once his wealth crossed the $1B mark?

Which is exactly why they are A waste of time. I have yet to meet a developer that doesn't have an idea for a notes/calendar/organizational tool. The point is that organization is such an individual problem that it always needs a custom solution and yet each solution will only be valuable to a handful of people.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can state the null hypothesis arbitrarily: "Breathing does nothing" / "Not breathing does nothing." "Aerobic exercise does not increase the probability of developing metastatic cancer" / "A sedentary lifestyle does not increase the probability of developing metastatic cancer." So, in fact your null hypothesis already has a bias of what you consider the baseline, i.e. yes-cancer or no-cancer. So in essence, you are trying to scientize for the sake of argumentation.
Do they actually exchange them for money or are they just creating them? There has never been a reputable audit of Tether.

UC Berkeley had a stadium naming deal with FTX.[1]

Is there a connection between FTX and Cal?

FTX Chief Operating Officer Sina Nader earned his bachelor's degree in humanities from Cal and was a walk-on member of the Golden Bear football team as an undergraduate. He played defensive end from 1999-2001, when he was a teammate of such players as Andre Carter, Tully Banta-Cain and Scott Fujita, and graduated in 2002. Sina's last named at the time was Pyghambarzadeh (he changed it to Nader to make life a lot easier!).

Who at Cal was involved in the decision?

Members of the athletic department worked with Cal Bears Sports Properties (Cal's multimedia rightsholder and local dedicated LEARFIELD team) to lead the discussions that led to the agreement with FTX. University leadership were informed throughout the process, including Chancellor Carol Christ. The approval for naming FTX Field at California Memorial Stadium came from the Space Assignments and Capital Improvements Committee, chaired by Vice Provost Lisa Alvarez-Cohen, which addresses use and assignment of campus space, capital-projects planning and the development of the capital-improvement program.

Think of it from the earth frame of reference. They watch you travel for a million years there and a million years back. When you arrive two million years have passed in the earth frame of reference. You were traveling at some large fraction of the speed of light so from your frame of reference you traveled for a year there and a year back.
You age 2 years

>This issue could be solved tomorrow by legislation if governments would cooperate and work to do so.

Again, many countries around the globe don't have a functional government capable of produce such legislation _tomorrow_.
Programming practices vary over time and depend on the preferences of those writing the code. There are some, myself included, who believe the naming conventions and organization of the code should be meaningful to make it easier for other developers to read the code. Typically, if code is complex, a comment might be justified, though it often indicates that the code needs to be simplified. Typically, if I write a comment, it will mostly be something along the lines of why we took this approach or any dependencies that aren't obvious. That said, documentation comments (e.g. classes and methods) are useful for automated tools that help developers see API specs or automated swagger/openid UIs.
I wonder if having the Moon was the critical factor for the Earth.

The Moon's gravitational pull stirs the core of the planet and evens out the pull of the oceans across the planet. Maybe it's this stability that matters in the creation of long term water and stability.

By way of comparison, Venus, a planet similar to Earth without a comparable moon has a surface and atmosphere like living hell.
>From 1991 to 2008, Bernie and Ruth Madoff contributed about $240,000 to federal candidates, parties, and committees, including $25,000 a year from 2005 through 2008 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.[1]

The "Government access" portion of Madoff's Wikipedia page goes on to detail high-level government connections akin to what SBF had. There's historical precedence for them burning someone just like SBF.

They obviously exist but from a quick and dirty google search it looks like there was roughly 500k-600k software engineers in 2000 and over 4 million today in the US. Even if zero of the ones from 2000 attritioned out they’d be ~13% of the work force and I highly doubt none of them have retired in a 2 decade span
No, the source code is licensed under AGPL. The business model is to eventually sell licenses to companies selling proprietary products/services.

Edit: I forgot to say that it's thanks to donations (a big thank you to Zotero) that I could have bought a Mac and paid the development license
Mill's approach is pretty similar to Rosetta in this regard - binaries are distributed in a relative high-level abstract format that's a bit like LLVM IR, and code generation for a specific chip's concrete ISA is done at/before installation time.
That was my experience with emacs as well. I love the power and flexibility but I spent all my time fiddling with my editor rather than coding my projects or writing. Vscodium is a bit less flexible but it gives me all of that time back
Does this have advantages over .webarchive?
As a citizen, I recognize cops are already twitchy and jumpy anyway, and they kill more people in the US than there are murders. Maybe your boundless excuse for ever-increasing excessive behavior is really no excuse.
"Innocent until proven guilty" is a basis we simply cannot lose. It means something. Once it stops meaning treatment of citizens with dignity, I don't know how you can expect that citizens won't retaliate and escalate the situation.
Most now fear cops unjustly invading their home more than criminals. They, though innocent, will defend tgeirself against assault. Do the math.
It's so obligatory that it's already linked in the article :P

Your argument that this problem is too distributed is valid but a little out of touch. Wage theft disproprionately affects lower income people.

There is about 39 million americans below poverty line. That's about 1200 dollars a year. I am sure it would actually make a hell of a big difference to many people below the poverty line.
The latter has a fast path for arrays and lists, the former doesn't.

The biggest challenge is just the entrenched interests. If we reduced US health care expenditures just to the median level of developed countries, we would spend ~$1 trillion/yr less than today. That's a lot of people laid off, who will fight tooth and nail to keep their jobs active.
There's clearly at least two camps of HTML advocates:

a) Conservatives: "HTML is just fine as it is"

b) Progressives: "HTML is a great idea but needs a little more work to be a great implementation"
That works in mostly self-contained projects. As soon as you interface with other teams, or even hardware that is still in development, you better make sure that everyone is aligned on the critical details before plowing ahead. Otherwise it can get very expensive (in terms of time, money, and motivation) to prototype yourself into a corner.

Just this week I witnessed some team having built feature without consulting another critical team, and now it has to be reworked and shipped at a much later date.
For anyone interested in seeing a short documentary about this, DW covered it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-SPiCVTKiY
I'm actually not Canadian, I just did my MLIS there. ;)

It is odd that your small towns don't have some kind of consortium agreement. There are benefits and drawbacks to having separate versus consolidated systems. Consolidated systems would, as you note, be more efficient in terms of staff costs and probably allow for materials to travel more easily. On the other hand, a consolidated system can end up only really serving the richest or largest community, rendering the rest of the population as afterthoughts.

Like from an ROI perspective, it makes sense public libraries are terrible at serving the long tail/the part of the population who want to educate themselves to a high level. Patrons are more interested in popular fiction and children's books, so that's the most bang for the buck.

But ugh on the building rationale. Without knowing what the building was like before, I can't comment too much (e.g. if there was mold/water damage/etc.) but that does seem like an odd use of funds.
Play Squad or some similar game such as Arma. Games that are a bit more slow paced attract older and more patient players. I could never go back to playing Call of Duty or Battlefield after playing some of the more strategic slow paced shooters.

First you read the chart wrong the volumetric energy density of compressed hydrogen is lower, liquid hydrogen had it’s own set of huge problems. Volumetric issues are huge for aircraft as larger volume means more drag which reduces the utility of all that energy.

Anyway, your comparing hydrogen ignoring the loss factor of engines, and the weight of fuel tanks so the useful energy density is much lower. “High-pressure tanks weigh much more than the hydrogen they can hold. The hydrogen may be around 5.7% of the total mass,[19] giving just 6.8 MJ per kg total mass for the LHV” At an overly generous hypothetical engine efficiency of * 50% that’s ~= 3.4 MJ per kg.

New chemistry is hardly a dream there are a huge range of battery chemistries out there with many under active development that beat current lithium ion batteries. Aluminum isn’t quite up to the hype, but it is very promising for aircraft.

The more people I see who disagree with me on this topic, the more I'm concerned about the future of tech world.

It's not like I like red color and you like blue and we disagree. We're talking about a fundamental regulation hurting innovation here. Sure, big tech shouldn't track our every move and they should reasonably protect our data, yet we're the ones giving our data (which we don't have to) in the first place and the way GDPR is currently implemented like fining ridiculous amounts for ridiculous made up reasons, or forcing a ridiculous amount of cookie accept boxes virtually on every website on Earth is not the way to go.
It is. I'm an established researcher, and my coworkers see the lead-up to the crash -- at levels 3-5, I'm over-producing enough to keep folks busy through the lull. I know that my productivity has peaks and troughs, and when I'm on fire it's difficult to hold back (ADHD life-hack: doing what you love risks detrimental hyperfocus). But, as a researcher, when I'm doing my job, I'm not unblocking issues; I'm creating work for others months to years down the road. Supporting that work (this is where I can be a blocker) is often very low-touch and high-reward so that's what I focus on in the down-times.

If I was an hourly contractor, I'd be billing for those extra hours in the hopes that I could cover myself after a crash. But I'm not sure that contract research is a thing. And... have you considered billing by the day? I've never been a contractor but I've heard it's a thing.

But... it's not like I have a choice in the matter. I've forced myself to work through burnout for literally years at a time, and now that part of me is broken forever. That's what "unsustainable" means. I will eventually quit tech, or move on to management, when the time comes.

If you cannot find slack and your busyness is frequently hitting 5-7, breakdowns will occur. If you can't recover without going broke, you haven't found a sustainable balance. Again, not a contractor, but the advice I've heard from contractors is to charge more.

> looks like the invisible hand of markets is not working here

Holy crap - Fan or no fan, the "invisible hand" isn't a factor in that environment. Healthcare is highly regulated, the market for drugs (for instance) highly rigged by federal reimbursement commitments, the third-party payer system obscures all costs from the consumer rendering them incapable of making informed choices. If you wanted the market to sort out health care, you'd need to get rid of state-level 'certificates of need' to introduce competition on the supply-side, actually achieve price transparency for consumers to avoid price fixing, and massively overhaul medicate part D to bring costs for drugs down. This is in addition to allowing insurance markets to cross state lines.

Total facepalm when I hear people say, "look at healthcare - guess the free market doesn't work". Nobody needs to argue that it should be a total free and open market devoid of regulation - that's a dumb retort, but to not understand how regulation has served to facilitate self-dealing, instituted market barriers, and create a money-go-round, is equally as daft.
That would solve the problem of feeling cold but not the human dignity issue in someone being arrested (and possibly being brought in for questioning) in their underwear
People are way to attached to single function examples. I'm struggling to find any example that actually rise up to the requested "originality, creativity, and fixation" for copyright to apply.

Just because something looks similar or is even identical doesn't mean copyright applies.
What's interesting is how little scrutiny was applied to FTX and they're the one who lost people's money. Tether has been under intense scrutiny for years and is still working just fine. No one has lost their money in Tether despite huge outflow events.

There's a lesson in here.
I’m German and vaguely pro-green energy in general, but I’ve yet to see one piece by environmentalists that isn’t utterly confused by the difference between energy and power, i.e. how much electricity is generated at any given moment vs. how much is generated in total. You could have a magic fantasy technology that produces a trillion TWh for three dollars. If it were somehow limited to doing so for only 20 seconds each day at noon, it would be utterly useless to fill the electricity needs of a nation.

In theory, you might overbuild wind power to the point where even if it’s running at 1% efficiency on a windless night, that would still be enough. I’m not confident that would work even if we dedicated the entire surface area to wind turbines and lived underground.
