Heating stuff up is easier than cooling it down - it could be actually quite an issue on the moon during the 14 days of uninterrupted sunlight. Apollo was actually running of open cycle evaporative water coolers to dump all that heat & cooling was one of the main factors dictating surface mission duration. You are also in vacuum, so you either need that open cycle system or pretty massive radiative cooling.

And then of course you need to also survive 14 days of no sunlight at all. At least here vacuum helps to reduce heat loss. :)
I prefer self hosting things so KeePassXC was actually perfect for me. You have KeePass client on each of your devices and Syncthing keeps all devices in sync. No third party involved! If you are looking to self host I compared few applications in my blog post below

I agree that the price is too high, but that is the case for all EVs

> It’s a conversion of a gas car, not a dedicated platform

Maybe because the platform was so safe/good... I love my current Mazda CX-5 (not EV)
Right, so you're not regulating AirBnB directly really, you're regulating the local AirBnB hosts.

And how does this help with reviews on airbnb.com?
> Except that COBOL devs are not that paid that well.

I think there is no other software developer role even remotely paying as well as COBOL in Europe. You get mid level FANG salaries, which are twice or trice what you get for the usual development gig in the EU.

EU is banking land. And they locking deliberately for people with COBOL and mainframe skills.

> By all means specialize in a legacy language if that is what you enjoy, but you are setting yourself up for disappointment if you do it for the money.

I guess this is very true.

Even the money looks interesting I would not enjoy such a job, I guess. (It would be fun to find out about the mainframe but that's nothing I would like as a day job. It would be more historic interest. And COBOL, naa, there are more terrible things likely but it's not nice either).

These quotes confused me:

> The Rust language model is based around the so-called borrow checker, which tracks the lifetime of all the objects; thus, it can detect safety errors at compile-time and does not require the use of a garbage collector

> Val solves this problem in an entirely different way: it adds restrictions to references, and ensures that nobody can read an object while somebody else is allowed to change it.

Because this is exactly what Rust does (forbid multiple mutable aliasing). After reading the linked reference (1) the difference isn't the program structure but rather that Rust allows references in values whereas Val does not, which obviates the need for ownership semantics and borrow checking (since there are no borrows!).

So my understanding is that both Rust and Val are providing the same guarantee to the program (exactly one writer or any number of readers to values) but choose to do it in very different ways. The interesting thing from the PL design side is that both implementations leak into the semantics of the language (Rust through explicit lifetime annotation, Val through implicit references). This is exactly the thing that other newer systems language designers seem to gloss over or not understand - you can't slap static analysis onto a compiler (takes like: "we can add optional borrow checking in the future") and get the same safety guarantees. That will only go so far, since more expressive semantics make the analysis impossible.

In languages with good support for functional features, you can curry and compose functions to your heart's content, allowing you to reuse similar logic and take better advantage of type systems like TypeScript's
This is business process dysfunction, and I bet their AP/AR spend management software was setup wrong.

They can try to spin it as a free loan from you or the ROI gain of running a leaning team, but they're paying 400% more (150k v. 30k) in a current reporting period.

Nothing clever.

You're also sticking around and not getting burned out of repeat business. I like increasing prices to compensate and being upfront.

I am a versatile engineer with full-stack, scripting, and data skills, and eight years of experience mostly in the life sciences. Outside work I'm really into permaculture gardening and plants, and would be really interested in software roles that are somehow connected, or other unique opportunities!
Imagine Earth has the only living things in the knowable universe. And then it all dies, for some reason. To me that seems like a waste of a perfectly good universe.

A universe without a conscious observer seems kind of pointless to me.
Property theft and wage theft are two very different categories of theft.
The average police department does not get involved in wage theft, which would be something more involving lawyers, maybe ultimately leading to an arrest warrant carried out by a police force.

And of course this is another example of an "AND" decision, not an "OR" one. We can enforce and prosecute property theft crimes, which absolutely needs to happen, while simultaneously pursuing wage theft prosecution.

Maybe because you’ve spent time in those older OS interfaces and are therefore more familiar? Your post amounts to “new things have a learning curve”.

We are building an early childhood literacy app focused on explicitly and systematically teaching the skills of reading (e.g., phonological awareness, decoding, and sight recognition.) The mission is to democratize access to evidence-based instruction and raise the percentage of proficient US 4th grade readers from 33% [1] to an estimated 94% [2][3].

If anyone is interested in collaborating, please reach out. I am especially looking for experts in sales and marketing.

All good advice. I especially agree with the first line as a solid foundation. As long as you don't sleep well, forget the rest. And as long as you don't exercise regularly, the regular sleep will be much harder.

One thing I'd add though is: A tidy mind. Clean up your thoughts. If there is something you don't understand or that seems inconsistent, seek understanding instead of just ignoring it. Of course you need some tradeoff, but too many people just live with constant chaos in their heads and BS-tting they way through life. By extension, your surroundings shape your thoughts. A somewhat tidied up apartment, clean kitchen sink and bathroom/toilet, fridge, desk, hard disk, inbox, those things work wonders. Doesn't have to be spotless, but chaos just distracts and creates overhead that can make you miserable.

(Obviously, some chaos sparks creativity, but there is a difference it a big box with assorted "creative" items versus not finding things on your desk because of all the crap on it.)
Partly yeah, radio spectrum is a limited resource. All users of radio spectrum have to work within agreed-upon limitations. Further, radios can be dangerous. Someone operating radio transmission equipment could harm others or themselves if the equipment is not being used properly. There are many regulations around the usage of radios and "proving" one is sufficiently aware of these regulations is also part of the reason behind requiring a license. In Canada we don't call it a license, it's merely a certificate of proficiency, to indicate your capabilities/knowledge in respect to the amateur radio regulations.
Sure, this is great if your biggest concern is password security vs. password breaches. No one using pen & paper is creating new passwords for every site they register for, so they're probably just reusing the same few passwords (or, maybe, with small variations) between sites. Which means they're constantly putting themselves in a position to be hacked, regardless, since breaches expose all your other accounts when you have just one email address.

Windows breaks "extensions" to the desktop environment so often it's ridiculous. Sometimes they even override your settings over an update which is so maddening.
Yeah, that is a weird criticism. Even if the size of the CLI client were an issue (which I agree it it's not), how many people in their family even know what a CLI is and how to use one? I'd imagine that the average number of people in a family who would prefer a CLI to a GUI is less than one.
The whole idea of measuring the value of different universe states in an objective way seems irrelevant to me. Most people care about surviving because it is subjectively valuable to them. Very few humans shoehorn themselves into a "view from nowhere" and attempt to derive from it some kind of lessons for how humanity should think about itself.

It's one way I guess, but there's no reason to prefer it, and it's not popular for obvious reasons.
Plus that whole project has been a disaster anyway. This is like his third attempt at centralized gaming machines, and even this one is buggy and problematic.

His previous one was flagged by anti-cheat due to it being VM-based.
"As Wikimedia projects have risen in prominence across the world, it has attracted increasing attention of those who would like to control the information published on it, for political or other reasons."

Not that curtailing conflicting interests where possible is wrong, but "a number of users with close connections with external parties... editing the platform in a coordinated fashion to advance the aim of those parties" echoes the Wikimedia Foundation's behavior in recent years, or tacit acceptance thereof.

It's all a question of your threat model. The biggest threats I see for most users are:

1. Password reuse, where a relatively unimportant account (shopping site) getting cracked gives the attacker the same password you used for a critical account (email).

2. Phishing, where you enter your password on a fake login page.

3. Lost device, where someone finding it can easily impersonate you on any site you're logged into.

A password manager handles (1), and if it auto-fills reliably on websites (as Chrome's does) that handles (2) as well. For (3) you want disk encryption, which is now standard on phones and is an easy option on laptops as well.

After these, my next concern would be compromise of the cloud-based password backups. Here is where your parent's comment on Google's security is relevant: Google (disclosure: I used to work there) has an excellent security team and there are few companies I would trust more to keep cloud vaults secure.

The attacks your links are talking about start by assuming someone has full access to your computer. While putting some bumps in their way at this point is nice, I guess, there's nothing stopping them from keylogging their way past any password manager you choose.

I know I don't. That's not good or bad, it just is a simple opinion/sentiment. It's not an ethical question either. Ethics are about informing our actions, not our opinions about how things are regardless of our actions. Accidents happen, people get sick and die, etc. All of them eventually. Sucks for the people involved when that happens of course. And that's a reason to work to prevent/delay the things that kill us. But not because of their future offspring.

Nature has this nice self regulating principle where species try to procreate as much as needed to sustain or grow the population while the rest of nature tries to treat that as manna from heaven (i.e. food). That cycle might just be a bit out of wack with our species judging from the explosive growth in the last century. We have few natural predators left that are hunting and eating us. Many of the people that fail to die end up procreating and that offspring is collectively becoming a burden on our planet. 8 billion and counting apparently. At the same time we figured out how to have fun without committing to more offspring (i.e. birth control).

So, an actual ethical question directly related to the titular question is whether it is ethical to use birth control. In many places people opt into that (with some level of enthusiasm even). In other places it is enforced/strongly encouraged by governments, which raises a few other ethical issues. But overall the effect is that our populations start shrinking as wealth and prosperity increase and more people refrain from procreating as much as they would have otherwise. China no longer needs to enforce their former one child policy. They only needed that while they were poor. Now India, which has no such policy, is taking over as the largest country by population. They are still growing rapidly. And more so in the poorer regions.

But it suggests to me that the ethical thing is to actually promote wealth and prosperity everywhere. People live nicer lives, make more informed choices, and they procreate less (i.e. only when they really want to). Might cause a few individuals to never exist but it might also make it easier to fix our planet for the rest of us.

Sort of the repugnant option without actually being all that repugnant.
Is the MIT license that this uses compatible with the RAIL license that Bloom uses? Or are there not issues with that?
My old video game from 2004 [1] is now older than I was when I wrote it, and I recently found the C++ source and sprites in one of my archives, so I'm rewriting it in TypeScript as a personal challenge.

The C++ code no longer builds (it's missing proprietary dependencies), and I no longer have the binaries or even the hardware needed to run them (it's a PocketPC game).

If I manage to finish the rewrite, I'll get in touch with the rest of the team, to ask if they'll let me upload it somewhere public.

So far, I'm surprised by how readable my C++ code is. :-)

The associations are often mismanaged horribly because they are mostly lead by people that just want to use the power to get the changes they want to their property, and sometimes (this is not rare) the board will use lawyers to write letters coercing behavior which may be against the HoA constitution, also sometimes to save a buck they will operate based on policy which was voted by the board that is unconstitutional and has not been amended by owners. The only way to rectify this is to put your real life on hold and create a political movement against the board and/or hire attorneys to get them to settle, litigate, or start a class suit, which might I remind you will probably retaliate against you and waste more of your time. Meanwhile the HoA's liability insurance premiums will go through the roof from hiring attorneys to defend themselves and so will your HoA fees. Lawyers love HoAs.

Have heard about this from friends and family more than once.. it would be comical if it didn't impede their ability to live so much.

I had a similar experience recently. After the booking was confirmed the host sent us a website to fill out and asked for our credit card number for a deposit.

This sent off a lot of red flags as AirBnB specifically says not to compile with this.

Calling AirBnB was useless. They confirmed that we should not pay the deposit, but it was up the the host to cancel our booking since it was less than 24hours away. AirBnB says as long as the booking is active then we have a right to be there. I share AirBnB's response with the host and they said they would call the cops if we showed up.

Two more calls to AirBnB, including one the morning of the booking and they still needed the host to cancel the booking. And since I "requested" the cancellation the host wasn't charged for cancelling my booking the same day.

After using AirBnB off and on for several years, this left a very sour taste.

Yeah, I definitely know this through painful experience, but historically library upgrades in non-trivial apps have always been difficult. It is what it is, and its the same in every stack.
True that had a lot to do with it too. But I remember all the buzz around APRS when it came around.. I never really understood it, if all you're doing is putting a little flag on a map you're not really communicating. And as a privacy advocate I really try to prevent this very thing :P

But some people really loved it and in my area in Europe it absorbed all the buzz around packet. At that point the internet had already been around for a while but packet was still being used. I guess it depends on the region too.

These days there is actually a movement to provide a high-speed backbone microwave net independent of the internet with emergencies in mind. The idea is for it to replace all the internet-based repeater links for DNR, Brandmeister etc It's called hamnet and it's pretty active in the Netherlands and Germany.

It doesn't. The Martian environment sets the limits on everything else. You could drag the entire Earth over next to Mars, and people still couldn't live there.

The irony is that the hypothetical "What if the Earth became uninhabitable?" is effectively the same as "What if the Earth became just like Mars?"

If they have friends that they never see any more, because school is closed, then they're isolated, right? And before you say "they should just get together", well, they used to get together five days a week, and they probably won't do that, even if they're ignoring the "socially isolate" part.
