Broadly speaking, I would say my life's work is the intersection of literature and what I call my spiritual mission. When I started writing, I was of the mindset that all of one's life should be dedicated to the task of writing, to the exclusion of happiness, if need be, and my happiness was excluded in practice. Career disappointments and a recognition of my folly put in mind the importance of the context surrounding one's vocation. It is a creative effort to curate the life that is separate from the work of letters. Enduring the psychological crisis that followed these all too predictable disappointments, I realized that I had an abiding belief in the good of engaging with the process of reading, writing, and publishing literature. Over time, I came to see how isolated I was, due partly to my person, but partly, also, to the wider concerns of the world. I wanted to solve the problem of isolation, to the extent that it was in my power to do so, for others, feeling that this, in turn, would make meaning of my personal crisis.

I went about doing so in my own ways, often ineffectually, but still feeling I was on to something, until the pandemic. Although I found that the surgical extraction of the social life I had managed to cultivate, save for my intimates, whom I still saw, meant that I could not write as I had before, I could continue to work on fostering the environment I felt literature and the writers of literature required in order to thrive. To make a long story short, I began investing in a platform that is meant to augment the process of writing and reading. They are simple tools, but they will be part of a coffeeshop environment, which is already under construction, where I hope commerce and literature can be wed to the benefit of the shop's regular patrons.

On July 4th, I could hear the reports from Central Street in Highland Park, which left six dead. I became obsessed with the tragedy of how suddenly and capriciously death can come, especially in relation to one's spiritual mission, which I feel is often left in a state of disorder, in ways big and small. The notion of completing one's spiritual mission in life, or in maintaining one's spiritual mission in a state of completeness, does not seem without our nature, just as the tendency to maintain its disorder does not seem innate to our nature. To develop the theme of literature in the 21st century and our spiritual life will be a matter to which I apply myself throughout life.
We also don't know the opposite but that sure as heck won't stop people claiming they know it as a fact and cause the publication of dozens of news articles over nothing.

Yes that happens, but how common is it really? I've never heard of anyone actually doing that.

It's becoming more common. I wouldn't say it's fully "common" yet.

I think the most public example was the recent gubernatorial election in Illinois. Incumbent Governor Pritzker donated money to a very far-right candidate, Darrin Baley, so that he would get the Republican nomination, and push moderate voters toward Pritzker in the general election.

It was all very well documented in Illinois newspapers during the election, and the New York Times did at least one piece about it, too.

The Times also noted that after the election, Biden gave a speech where he made a statement that this was not an acceptable practice. He didn't call out Pritzker by name, but if you were following the Illinois election, you know who he was talking about.
NTFS disallows 0x002F as well; it is possible to use the entire set even from Windows (installing Interix, for instance). Windows NT was designed around UCS-2, the file system didn't have to do much but be a dumb bag of bytes for file names, character interpretation was on upper layers. You can mostly pretend it's UTF-16, until it's not.

Something fun on file systems: ZFS lets you set "utf8only=on" which will guarantee no file names will ever be possible that are not valid UTF-8. I use it on all my systems.

Good question. Food for thought!
The only reason investors would enter the picture is if the engineers preferred to take a smaller cut upfront. Keeping with the marshmallow experiment theme, that is them choosing to eat the marshmallow instead of waiting for the desired treat offered to those who wait.

Indeed, that is the likely scenario as humans are greedy. People generally don't have the will to hold out for the bigger rewards, they want instant gratification to quash the feelings of their greed in the moment. They don't have to choose instant gratification, but if they want to then I suppose investment helps ensure that they still work on something useful when instant results cannot be seen.
> didn't do a blatantly obvious

For any crime it not being "blatantly obvious" is pretty essential to it not being prosecuted. I'm no fan of Jim Cramer, but he makes enough money just giving bad advice that there's no reason for him to also be secretly profiting from it illegally. In addition he's high profile enough that I'm sure plenty of people have looked into it hoping to find something.

But if he was secretly profiting form it illegally then that illegal activity would have to be made "blatantly obvious" in order for him to be convicted, and the federal government doesn't like prosecuting unless they're near certain of a conviction.

These influencers were performing an easy to observer and therefore easy to prosecute crime, which is why they are being charged.
The thing is, most software nowadays is expected to integrate well with the outside world. A simple calculator or a full-fledged photo editor can and probably should run in its own bubble isolated from the world, so a single full-value price makes sense; but a lot of progress and innovation (and creation of new needs, aka. new software) is happening at a level where systems need to talk with each other.

It does make sense to pay recurring money if the tool needs to be constantly updated to keep up with 3rd-party services. I agree that a text processor does not make sense, though; albeit they are probably justifying themselves due to the online features it provides (whatever they are; I haven't used MS Office in 10 years)
While the breaking changes were rough this year, the new structure is a huge improvement over before. It is now extremely clear the order that items are loaded, and what is loaded on the server vs client. Form actions are also amazing.

Congrats to the team and thanks for all the hard work!
I still give Lex some credits but I am also suspicious.

I think he proved more than once that he is far from an expert on AI/Robotics, and that he tends to be naïve/gullible with his hosts.

The hosts themselves are often interesting and the whole setup/duration is nice enough. I don't mind too much about the host being half-smart.

Except when he is a simp of Elon his clique. Makes me sad.
It is all about how one discloses conflicts of interest with suggestions (aka ownership interests). Key phrase from the statement "without ever having disclosed their plans to dump the securities".

> Abrham Amare, a researcher and son of chemistry professor Meareg Amare, said that his father was targeted by a series of threatening posts because he was ethnically Tigrayan. He reported the posts, some of them shared over 50,000 times, to Facebook because they contained his father's address and called for his death. Eight days after the elder Amare was murdered, Facebook finally removed the post, according to the researcher.

Facebook caused the death of a man. If you think that Facebook did just because the posts were "popular". then Facebook caused the death of a man for money, and that makes it worse.
Kim Yo-jong, Kim Jong-un's sister, is a woman in power in North Korea [1] (yes, probably because she is his sister, but she's no figurehead, and how else does one rise to power in North Korea anyway?) and is deemed by some analysts as a possible successor to her brother.

This doesn't make it a rule, but it shows there are women with power in North Korea. Because it's such an opaque country to outside observers, who knows how many more are there? Keep in mind the world didn't even know of her existence until relatively recently (about 2014).

I don't think something like this -- a woman being considered to run the country -- would be even thinkable in Iran.

Yep.

Mercedes has these limitations not because their tech is less capable than Tesla's but because Mercedes is a real car company with real engineers and a gold-standard reputation to maintain.

Tesla, in contrast, is a software company that is trying to take "move fast and break things" into the two-ton 75mph vehicle space, with predictable results.

Cramer doesn’t invest in individual stocks, thus he has no conflicts of interest and wide 1st amendment protections. The important thing is to not lie about your financial interests. It is perfectly fine to take a short position, announce it, then proceed to trash the company’s management. It is fine to pump a stock if you disclose you have a position.

The key issue is:

“ the individuals regularly sold their shares without ever having disclosed their plans to dump the securities while they were promoting them.”
This is like google summer of code.
I think it's a prelude to restarting the Bond series with a female character.
Been using Sveltekit and love what the community has done to the framework. Makes life of a developer very straightforward and I'm sure that Sveltekit will rise to be a dominant frontend framework soon.

So are you saying that the two tweets I posted above aren't egregious?

> Not sure why you think this is some conspiracy when it was blatantly obvious.

I can't find that allegation anywhere in my comment. What was there was the obvious inconsistency between not banning e.g. the Ayatollah for the above comment, but banning the former president

Can you find any tweets from the former president that were even comparable to the two tweets I posted?
I'm just completing a job using svelte/kit, tailwind, postgres, typescript.

Actually, I was new to the entire stack, but it went smooth as butter.
(Though I have plenty of experience with JS, HTML, CSS, other databases, etc.)

IMO, svelte and sveltekit are well designed and have a great dev experience.

LOL, as I was writing this he was apologizing on the stream for the breaking changes. That was a bit of a pain, but not really that bad. My only real gripe is using folders to organize both layout hierarchy and route hierarchy is going to turn out to be a mistake.
>There is quite a bit of open source software out there with bugs, bad documentation, and bad design; simply because fixing those problems is a real hassle.

Onboarding is a barrier to entry too. For example, yesterday I read a blog article saying that the Rust project Cargo doesn't have enough volunteers. Learning Rust at the moment and looking for a new project, I checked out the "how to contribute" section and looked at the issues on their github repo, but honestly it's daunting. I've submitted a few fixes to some project documentation in the past because those are some of the easiest tasks, but I'm yet to found a small enough crack in a big open source project to jump in and submit a pull request.
Who are the people who wrote these buggy software?
It sounds accurate to me. If you are a defensive driver, you will most likely find that even basic autopilot increases your stress substantially. It happily drives you full speed into situations your brain easily recognizes as risky. Personally I'd probably have palpitations if I tried FSD.
This is how I move fast and break nothing. By having fullstack type-safety from database all the way to the frontend with auto-completion. My current stack:

+ SvelteKit (could be Next, Nuxt, Solid or any other TypeScript framework)

+ tRPC (typed calls between frontend and backend, https://trpc.io)

+ trpc-sveltekit (glues SvelteKit and tRPC, https://github.com/icflorescu/trpc-sveltekit)

+ Prisma (ORM, https://www.prisma.io)
It's how many allistics see people, ASD folks just tend to be more self-aware about how social interaction works at a macro level (out of necessity).
Beautiful. Part of why that happens I think is everyone is afraid to peel a layer off for fear of what they’d see underneath. A lot of contractors try to avoid renovations because it’s a never ending series of pandora’s boxes.

My favorite when checking out a potential house purchase once was a small wet spot in the middle of a wall.

When I pressed on it with my finger - and my finger went right through - into live termites!

That finger press probably saved me $75k and months of headaches.
Eh, for once I don’t think I agree with Doctorow. Replacing native apps with web apps is just swapping an oligopoly of mobile platforms based on proprietary APIs for an oligopoly of browser engines based on a Red Queen’s race of keeping up with ever-evolving standards and de-facto standards that are already too prohibitively massive to allow for an independent implementation to emerge. I’m not seeing that as much of an improvement, especially given how Mozilla have been behaving lately.
Yes, what about them?

If the open source licenses contained exceptions saying "you can't use this for free if you make more than x amount of money," then it isn't really open source...
Well, yes and no. Yes, we need regulation if we want to hold people accountable for what they say online. No, in the sense that discriminating between large and small services is a bad idea. Scale has nothing to do with it, smaller services don't deserve to get off scott-free just because they didn't hit 'Twitter-scale' yet.

Again, the biggest issue here is the public misconception that Twitter (or any of the internet) is a benevolent platform. Legislation cannot change that.
Have seen this conspiracy theory propounded by several people now. Two things:

1) SBF refused to testify right before he was due to anyways: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/12/former-ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-f...

2) The charges he is looking at are so serious, I have a hard time believing it would matter that much whether he racked up one more charge of lying under oath

$20K for 10 weeks is decent change for folks in the Global South.

I got a much smaller-sized grant for a FOSS project from Mozilla in July 2020 (a bit more than $4K), and that helped pay the bills for over a year.
I've had the experience of both tax funded and private schooling.

Without the tax funded school I, and the vast majority of my peers there, likely wouldn't be literate or numerate. I wouldn't have been in a position to win the lottery of a private school bursary.

The quality of the teachers at the the private school was certainly a little better but the worst were about as bad as any public school and the best not much better. The main difference was simply the level of funding.

> By building systems where teachers are not held accountable for output of their work you just have a broken system that doesn't help anyone.

I've found that teachers are the biggest critics of these systems. Rather it's the general public and administrators that have decided the role of the teacher is to do little more than act out a pre-defined curriculum with zero individual agency. In such an arrangement there's no individual output to judge.

Those choices aren't a feature of tax funded schooling. They're administrative/societal decisions to structure schooling in a particular way. It does not follow that schools must be structured this way if funded through taxes.

> Roads are a very small amount of tax money, not worth mentioning.

On a state level they're roughly ~6% of total expenditure. 3% greater than policing or prisons and only 3% lower than healthcare or education. Total expenditure >$200 billion total in 2019[0].

I don't think I've ever met a person who believes their roads to be particularly well maintained, which would point to a much larger figure being required to adequately maintain the infrastructure. It should also be noted that the $200b figure is pre-infrastructure bill.

>I mean, if you have to irrationally hate someone, I guess billionaires are going to be the ones with the resources to handle it,

I wonder, what could be a rational hate?

Personally I also wonder what is the supposed rationality behind any society granting some becoming billionaires. All the more when there is no social enforcement loop that ensure that the gap between richest and poorest remain in decent state. Otherwise the hate of the richest is an obvious outcome of the inequity structure.
That's so great to hear!

I went to high school with someone who took a path like yours - his parents were not sure about his ability to live a comfortable life going into pro Dota. But I'm so glad you folks are able to do what you love and make a good living.
The current approach leaves it frustratingly judgmental and prone to lecturing the user about ethics from a very particular point of view (yes, I am aware the system has no conscious intention, but the abstractions work from the user's point of view). In that regard they are simulating a type of person quite well.
There is so much "let me just see if this works..." tap tapppy tap .... "no... NO WAY... OMG IT WORKED!" with Svelte.

Very little surface area. It embraces your knowledge of plain ole CSS/JS/HTML and empowers you with reactivity and a means of if being able to add motion to your ui.

Newbs and Pros alike can build fast with it. That speed + reactivity allows your software to better keep up with your converstaions that make it all so. Thats insanely powerful.

It's soooo good. Congratulations to Richard Harris and everyone on the Svelte/SvelteKit Team! <3
> That’s not UTF8.

True; I was careful not to call it that, but treating strings as UTF-8 by convention does make sense.

> It’s not, any unicode-aware text processing does it implicitly. This means any such things processing has to either perform its own validation that the input is valid, or it may fly off the rails entirely if fed nonsense.

In theory, but that's just not how most string operations actually work. If you have two UTF-8 strings and you want to concatenate them, you just concatenate the bytes. It would be ridiculously inefficient to decode the code points in each string and then re-encode them back into a destination buffer. If you have two UTF-8 strings and you want to see if one is a substring of the other and at what byte index, you just look for the bytes of one as a "substring" of the bytes of the other. Again, it would be ridiculously inefficient to decode the code points in each and do matching on code points. But what if the strings aren't valid UTF-8?! Both of those operations work just fine even if the strings aren't valid and produce sensible, intuitive results.

If you're implementing a browser or a terminal that has to actually display UTF-8 as characters then sure, you have to actually decode characters. Similarly, if you're parsing text somehow, then you have to decode characters. But many program only do concatenation and search and other operations like that which are actually implemented in terms of byte sequences, not characters.
Svelte is such a pleasure to write and work with. It follows my mental model really well. Congrats to the team on this amazing milestone!

Where's the hypocrisy? Musk said he wanted to broaden the speech allowed on the platform, not allow speech of all kinds.

Maybe try getting your info from a non-leftwing source. There has been plenty of damning info coming from these internal comms.
Looks like they are trying to stay ahead of incoming EU action.
Also consumer bias, or "post-purchase rationalization" - i.e. humans overly attribute positivity to goods/services from brands they buy from.

Unreal the amount of scams and rugs and fraud committed by people with any semblance of influence in crypto.
If I see a Tesla in the wild, I shoot its tires out before it has a chance to strike. That's the American way.

(I assume this is why the Cybertruck features bulletproof glass, in case my self-firing gun (now in beta) misidentifies the tires.)
How about going after the dogecoin pump and dump guy next?
> I wish umatrix's UI would just be an option inside ublock origin. Press the box, UI appears. It's too great.

Yes, very much. I'd love to be able to contribute money somewhere to make this happen!

UBO seems to work ok as long as you don't need to tweak anything, but then falls apart. The uMatrix UI is so much superior, I can't ever imagine being able to live without it.
Just to clarify further, note that actually preserving the "as if" behaviour does involve some complexity in the implementation. E.g. appending to WTF-8 has to be handled carefully to ensure it remains truly the same as doing so with WTF-16. This is because any newly paired surrogate has to be converted to its proper UTF-8 encoding. Similarly splitting WTF-8 can potentially break apart what was valid UTF-8 (though I'm not totally convinced that there's a good use case for actually doing this, at least for Windows paths).

Of course the implementation details are something that can and should be handled by a library instead of doing it manually.
These paper hands, they fold...

One complaint I do have is that I didn't like Birth of Violence at all. Chelsea's other music sounds so much better to me. BoV was the same sounds from other albums re-hashed and it felt very bland.
