I don't dispute that, that's why I said Windows 10, not 11. Windows 11 is far more dependent on AppX than Windows 10 and the effects are far more harshly felt. Windows 10, having an EOL in 2025, is unlikely to change in that direction anytime soon.

I'd be interested in hearing what the issue on Windows 10 is, especially considering how it compares to Windows 10 LTSC which seems quite similar.

Edit: As for "That's hilariously stupid," I updated the article for my thoughts on that. Considering this is going to be used on a computer that cost me $150, has storage on a separate NAS, for a machine that could cause safety issues and a lot of money in wasted material if literally anything goes wrong (CNC router), running software that runs only on Windows and requires precise USB timing (no VM or Wine from Linux), I think it would be more stupid to not de-bloat for all the failure methods Windows has added. The last thing I need is Windows Game Bar (normally not removable) popping up over the CNC Control Window and blocking the Emergency Stop button. [If you think this sounds horrifying, brand new CNCs have software that still runs great on Windows XP, it's called Mach3 and it's arcane. Some features literally refuse to run on any 64-bit version of Windows and require a Parallel port, that kind of thing. This software is still sold in 2022 and still required for many machines.] For me, Windows bloat is actually a potential, even if unlikely, safety issue.

Stupid ideas sometimes become a lot less stupid when in context.

Edit 2: "Most of the OS is going to be distributed via AppX packages, which means that pretty quickly, doing this will leave you limping and hurt."

This is just my personal experience, but I had a Windows 10 computer (a desktop, no power issues here) brick itself from a botched Windows Update. Neither System Restore nor Windows Recovery could bring it back to life from the unstable mess it crashed in. The install was less than 2 years old. I've seen family laptops with unbelievable bugs which make me scratch my head and wonder how Windows got that messed up, even without installing new apps. My brother literally only uses the Microsoft Store, yet somehow managed to lose all thumbnails on files, and the Start button logo on the taskbar [nothing but an empty space where it should be]. I'm at the point where blindly trusting Microsoft updates feels "hilariously stupid" for anything that requires stability as well... which is an awkward position. Darned if you do, darned if you don't. (For the record I do install updates, but I hold my breath on whether they'll work... and make backups.)
These calculations are absurdly subjective and based on some sort of very unusually defined notion of costs per child. In the country I live in (and in many others i'm sure) millions of people manage to raise perfectly healthy kids wonderfully without earning or spending anywhere near those amounts per child or for a home. 2 million for a home fit for two kids? Ridiculous.
C is a simple language. Many people have quickly become proficient at it with only K&R to work from, and that is a thin book. The C language has many deficiencies but I don’t think many people would characterize it as difficult to learn among its peer programming languages. It has very few concepts that you need to learn.

C++, on the other hand, is exceedingly complex and a difficult language to become proficient in, though modern C++ is an improvement in that regard. Some of this is due to decades of legacy cruft, some is due to it being an atypically expressive systems language, all of which has been stirred together.
Thank you very much for the additional info!
That is exactly the point. That is the impression, impression made by media mostly.

I got this as a means to held build a better intuition for how electronics works.

It’s one thing to read a theory, or watch an animation. But to be able to play with such a high fidelity analog is by far the best.

It’s like going from print debugging (measuring values in a circuit for example) to a full on debugger where you can stop the world, adjust something and see how _everything_ is affected.
Mountain passes across Sierra will be closed, so you can't travel to Reno, as I-80, SR-50 (Sacramento to south lake Tahoe), SR-88 (Carson Pass) will be closed. Even Altamont pass/I-580 had a slide a few days ago. SR-99 will get flooded, as it is parallel to I-5 from Sacramento to Bakersfield. So, expect long delays on both I-5 and I-80, since other secondary roads get flooded.

If you are planning to Vegas, you gonna have problems on SR-152/I-580 to I-5. Also, expect problems on SR-58 between Bakersfield and Barstow on I-15. Even if you want to go to Sacramento, expect long delays on all routes.

Whichever freeway you pick, you will have problems: bad visibility, very slow traffic, partial closures due to puddles, complete closures due to floods (like the north of SFO airport last time).

That's why CHP, Caltrans, NWS advise people to postpone their travel unless extremely necessary. No storm tourism either.
From the standpoint of being productive in Rust, this is what you need to know:

* An object has a lifetime. This generally lasts until overwritten or destroyed at end of scope.

* You can loan out references to this object. You can either have a single &mut, xor an unlimited number of & references, but not both.

* References cannot outlast the lifetime of the object they point to.

* If you have a &mut reference to an object, you can give out another &mut reference to the same object. But you can't use the first reference for the duration of the second.

* Lifetimes can be named, and you can express criteria of the form "this lifetime must at least/most this long."

* Bonus: if you have &mut x, you can give out &mut x.a and &mut x.b at the same time. But you can't give out &mut x while such a subreference is live.

And... that's really all you need. Yeah, there's a lot more rules, and there's definitely fun edge cases around things like temporary objects' lifetimes. But there's no need to know all of that stuff. If you get things wrong, the compiler will come back and slap you in the face and give you an error message--that's the selling point of Rust, getting lifetimes wrong is an error, not silent nonsense--and your task at that point is to figure out if you're really breaking a cardinal rule (two or more mutable references to the same memory location, or references not lasting long enough), or if you didn't enforce sufficiently strict requirements for the bounds of the lifetimes. And the rust compiler is pretty good at telling you what you have to do to get necessary lifetime bounds (sometimes too good--it can suggest fixes to lifetime bounds even when such bounds are unachievable).

I'd compare this to things like name lookup and overload resolution in C++, which are actually horrendously confusing algorithms that almost nobody understands in their entirety. Yet plenty of people can be productive in C++ because the general principles are well-understood, and if you're at the point where you need to descend into the morass of exceptions and exceptions-to-exceptions, you're probably writing confusing code to begin with.
When you speak in public, anyone can hear you.

What specifically do you feel is different?

What if I don't agree with increasing the population? If I don't want to increase the number of people in the city I'm living in, then why on earth would I want urban consolidation? Does anyone actually enjoy living in a tiny apartment, as opposed to being able to afford a house with a yard? The need for endless population increase is not just some foregone conclusion. Not everyone here is an SWE living in SF, with SF problems, and SF opinions.

> In short, yes, people do have rational, coherent reasons to oppose growth, but, no, those complaints are not in the end valid.

I don't agree with your opinion. Should I just classify all of it as 'invalid'?

Nice. I signed up for the preorder.

The first keyboard I used was an IBM Selectric on which I learned to type in a high school typing class. Great keyboard. Another aspiring software geek suggested the class. I am so glad I took his advice.

The third keyboard I used was on my Mac 128K. An okay keyboard.

The fourth keyboard I used was an IBM Model M. An outstanding keyboard. I am typing on it now ;)

It's really not a good sign when factual government projections start getting jazzed up with personal history.

All things considered, this storm is well within the design considerations for any road or building in California, so it shouldn't be considered, in advance, as catastrophic.

I'm one of those musicians, though my day job as a scientist has produced an ever increasing share of my income. I'm a double bassist, and I play mostly jazz.

Even full time musicians need multiple income streams. Teaching classical music to children is not a half bad occupation, but you have to enjoy it and live in a fairly affluent town. A violin teacher makes more per hour than I make playing gigs.

There are things that you can't do if you're not full time, such as traveling to perform. I'm pretty much limited to a 40 mile radius around my home.

Recording is possible of course, but I don't do it. It's not something that I really enjoy, and it's not easy or free even with modern tools. And getting paid for it is difficult. The musicians I know who actually make money from their recordings, sell CD's at their performances.

I think part of the situation with music is that we face competition from non musical forms of entertainment, that are extremely sophisticated. Perhaps at the top of the food chain is televised sports. It's very hard to put together a musical performance that's as exciting or entertaining as a major league sports broadcast.

What live musicians depend on is the audience that's actually interested in the experience of live music per se. And it's no longer the music of their youth. The jazz era is 100 years old. The majority of the jazz audience grew up listening to rock 'n' roll.

If you believe radio kits were as advanced as one could buy "back in the day", I guess you never looked at a HeathKit catalog, they offered all kinds of kits more sophisticated than radios.

In 1980 I got one of these kits for my auto repair shop, and yes, it was quite a challenge to build, but it saved me hours of automotive diagnostic time.

A comparable automotive ignition analyzer scope at the time was thousands of dollars.

I object to "anti-racist" advocacy which has been shown to be actively counterproductive. It's not a firefighting method if it makes the fire worse.

I don't claim we should never confront racism. I claim we should do it in an evidence-based way.

I went through the public education system in the 90s and 00s, in California's Bay Area of all places, and the discussion around race was very different than the discussion today. The idea that we should treat people the same regardless of race has switched from being a liberal position to being a conservative position. It seems to me that whatever was being done in the 90s and 00s "worked" in a way that what we're doing today does not. Probably because what we're doing today is very different, and is the product of an ideological conversation on social media rather than a conversation informed by data or reasoned discussion.

>But then Trump comes in and welcomes the far right renaissance that was happening around the world, a world-wide renaissance that had nothing to do with the NY Times posting articles that upset you, to the US.

Generally speaking the rest of the world takes their cultural cues from the US much more than the US takes their cultural cues from the rest of the world. Hollywood movies are viewed globally. The entire world follows news from the United States closely. Much of the rest of the world uses American social media websites. Etc.

It's a common observation that the current rise of wokism started in the US and then spread elsewhere in the world, which fits the general pattern. So the overall hypothesis that NY Times left-wing extremism is the root cause of the current worldwide far-right renaissance is pretty plausible to me. As you said -- treat the root cause.

>Since you seem to take their rhetoric seriously, you can find plenty of far right leaders and ideologues saying just that, that Trump is "their guy" and that he opened the door to mainstream their far right ideas and rhetoric.

I don't claim otherwise.

A resort fee is not the same as a tourism tax.

Tourism taxes are per head, per night and generally Airbnbs are required to charge them as well (though they often don't).

A resort fee is a bogus surcharge added by hotels to "cover" advertised amenities, like if a cinema charged you a Dolby Surround fee after you showed your ticket at the entrance.
