Well from that, this to me sounds like the above was the only service which they have asked to be paid for, like moving a free tier where you've made an account to a paid service.

Usually services are provided only after the customer has paid. Those that don't are either incredibly generous and trusting ... or absolutely precious. In regard to precious, in my rule book for all business and personal purchases, they are deserving a close and critical eye with an expectation of a poor and bad outcome to surface, and being prepared with a contingency plan having already shopped around without being in a panic, should the moment arise. I think it's fair to say some smaller and newer companies providing services have tight spots as well, and generally resolve as the company grows.
This is exactly what I expected: a well-traveled path. I assumed I was doing something wrong or just not "getting it," and spent weeks digging through the scattered doc and poring over Java code and templates... and the generated code, which wouldn't even compile. In our case, we needed C++ for client and server... a hugely under-served scenario.

Using OpenAPI and Stoplight was very useful for thinking the API through and how the whole thing could work, but the code-generation aspect was a total bust. And talking to some new colleagues later who had some knowledge of it, I found that I wasn't alone in my opinion that the tooling is trash.

Even worse, the prevailing opinion on the ecosystem is so poor that it might even be a professional liability to propose (or admit to) using it. The implication was that it (or at least the code-generation facilities for it) is by and for people who don't know what they're doing. Oof.

The metro area in the Bay Area is a bit of an outlier as regards things like commute-sheds, etc. The problem with bandying about a one-size-fits-all label like "suburb" should be obvious.

If you need an explicit answer, generally speaking, SF is "the metro core" for the bay. Travel distances matter little compared to macro-economic "correlation" distances when considering metro areas.
Think of it this way: 1) the closer to the speed of light the bigger difference between your time frame and an external observer's. 2) at the speed of light the universe will age to infinity as you watch 3) inside the event horizon, even the speed of light is not enough to escape.

For an external observer you'll appear to slow down as you approach the event horizon. However feeding blackholes do increase is size obviously (or they would all be the same size), which may well save you from the (from an external perspective) an infinite descent.

> If SQL was a declarative language, there would not be expression in it, for example SELECT (1+2) , only SELECT 3

SQL is I think generally considered not entirely declarative, but that is not an example that shows that. Is there any declarative language that satisfies that, that has no addition (or operator? Or addition of constants? I'm not really clear what about it you think makes it not declarative?).

By this rule, Prolog and HCL/Terraform are not declarative either.

Yup, same. Last time i set this up i used Sqitch¹ for migrations, which encourages you to write tests for each migration; caught a lot of bugs early that way, all in a local-first dev environment. Worked especially well for Postgres since plpgsql makes it easy to write tests more imperatively.

It's just a branding wrapper of Blockly, which has been around since 2012: https://github.com/google/blockly and https://developers.google.com/blockly/publications/publicati...

I don't really care for these edutech companies that camp on other people's open source technology without even acknowledging it. If you didn't know better you'd think the guy behind this was a genius who invented the whole thing himself, because that's how it's marketed: https://www.patreon.com/edublocks

Blockly is also popular in internet-of-things development with packages like UIFlow, since the block interface is so simple and intuitive that it's kind of self-documenting for peripheral components. It's also easy to extend with your own modules if you're so inclined. It's handy to have as a palette of common functions in a hardware stack without having to track dependencies or maintain a toolchain, making it more accessible for schoolchildren and hobbyists.

Of course the blocks and color coding quickly become unwieldy and hard to read, and the endless clicking becomes tedious. Other irritants are that it defaults to saving only the xml block files, so if you switch over to the code window it's easy to make changes, save them, and not realize that they'll get reverted as soon as you leave the Python window.
Indeed. This marketing copy is spectacularly over-reaching.

Canada has a proud history in sounding rockets; I wonder if comparisons to that military research work were the stepping-off point here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Brant_(rocket)

Yeah, the AI fingers are terrible.

More on topic: I try to push this concept at work all the time, but it gets no traction. No one actually cares about devex at work, even though all developers complain about it unknowingly. We essentially have 3 kinds of intake for dev work. Something is broken in prod, something is being developed in qa, or something is being planned/started. This is pretty similar to all the places I've worked.

Every one of those intakes is broken. Prod flow is pure slack panic, mass zoom calls, and then demanding RCAs which are immediately memory holed. Development in qa is black box frontend testing producing jira tickets like, "this seems wrong can you investigate?" the loop is not tight or efficient. Upfront everything is under-designed and cross component functionality is never ensured.

Its just chaos. I just spent 30 minutes on a call about whether we should have a single point of contact or the whole team, but meanwhile no one knows what we are building. Fake accountability is more important than clarity. Because when "someone" is accountable then you can blame. But actually creating understanding and making developers falling pit of success is never on the radar.
Based on the gofundme, I think an editor replaced "largest" with "first"

Stagnating!

Seriously, which major functionality you’d want to add to your, idk, snow brush, duct tape, thermometer?

Or does their product really just boil down to "storage as-a-service, as a service"?

I’m not using cloud storage/sync, but if I did, that would be an exact formula for choosing a product. I mean I’d want to put files in a dir (v-drive?) and that’s it. And when the time comes, Dropbox will be first, because it’s basically synonymous to it, unless price-prohibitive. Am I missing something here?

Maybe features you talked about are sharing, social-something, smartphone integration, etc. Genuinely not sure.
As for learning a language, there are 4 "skills" involved: speaking, listening, reading and writing. We group them all into one clump - which I think is a mistake. It is common to have different proficiency levels in each "skill". I've also forgotten a number of languages over the decades and I find that I lose reading/writing skill the fastest with languages that use other than Roman letters (such as Farsi, Arabic & Japanese). I can speak and read French, but if it is spoken, I'm lost.

Written Japanese is hard even for native speakers. Children are usually in high school before they've learned enough Kanji to be able to read a daily newspaper. And some Kanji are so rarely used that newspapers have to put furigana (the little "cheat sheet" or subtitles) alongside the ones that even adults are going to have trouble with.
That heavily favors a particular learning style, which isn't necessarily a desirable outcome.

In reality, who cares of what the C spec says? Unless you have to port code on different compilers (which is very unlikely, unless you are building a library meant to be shared with different projects) you only care about the fact that the code works correctly with the compiler you choose to use.

I don't get all the programmers that scandalize if you use GNU extensions, they are fine, and mostly useful, so if you are using GCC to program I don't see why not use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=c11... who cares if the program is not compliant?

Even if you want to be compliant to share code, the C standard is you last problem, the thing is that you probably use a ton of libraries and header files specific to that implementation (such as POSIX or even worse Linux-specific stuff), so your code is 99% not portable anyway without rewriting most of it.
I don't use text-to-speech because the physical act of typing on a keyboard itself is integrated into my thought process. Possibly because waiting on my fingers to input text helps me pace and organize my thoughts. Sounds kind of weird but I can almost feel the quality of writing via the physical tactile experience of using a keyboard. When I'm not confident or clear in my thought process there is a slight hesitation inputing text. When I know exactly what I want to say it's an effortless flurry of keystrokes that feels right.
A form of this that leverages the social graph would be great. Reddit is a little too democratic, any bot can vote.

I'd like a system where the comments are weighted such that I'm more likely to see comments from users I upvote/find insightful. Extra points if the users overall views differ from my own.

Reddit is also ignoring the time that users spend on the content/article itself which is a very important signal.
Google has been doing this with their news feed for years, this article makes it sound like some revolutionary idea but it's really not anything new.
That's the idea, of course. But the definition of 'article' is pretty vague, which opens the door for all kinds of garbage content. If you shut your brain off and just let the algorithm feed you, you're going to end up swimming in mindless drivel. Maybe this will be better, but I think of lot of people are just going to find themselves in propaganda echo chambers.
It's in Oregon, I'd rather not say where exactly because I live in a very, very small community and I'm not sure if it's a widespread problem in the county or a localized issue in my neck of the woods.

A lot of this goes back to the 70's IIRC where Gov. Tom McCall passed a law to limit land use, which was great. Nobody wanted the sprawl you see on the East Coast or in parts of California, it's why Oregon still has a lot of nice areas with small farms and communities instead of shopping centers. Also of concern was, say, timber companies doing a harvest and then selling the land for a housing development or something -- this would also be terrible. Unfortunately, some more activist counties used this to deprive people of property rights which they bought into, I know there was a huge legal dispute over an issue along these lines just outside Portland in the 90's. We also had a ballot measure that was on tge books for about a year or two which would compensate land owners for lost value due to zoning changes, but that was thrown out pretty quickly.

I'm not exactly sure how we got such clear class divides in zoning and if it was intentional or not, but the effect is black and white.

Also of interest is how different counties handled permitting post-wildfires in 2020. There are many wildfire victims from my area who have been unable to rebuild because of permitting issues and what appears to be intentional obstruction by the county.

A side note, I don't know any displaced wildfire victims that received the hundreds of millions in federal aid sent our way. FEMA didn't approve any loans even though hundreds of structures were lost in a poor rural area -- but they were happy to provide water and WiFi, which is...something.

> If I had to make a point, I suppose it'd be that summaries can be misleading.

Then I guess I have to agree with you, when discussing where wealth went during 2020, and the state of the lower 50% of Americans, it is misleading to only point out that the lower ~50% experienced wage growth without also pointing out that a majority share of overall wealth still went to the 1% and that the real gains have still not caught up with the terrible situation they've been in for years. As for the original point, the claim that the majority of wealth created since 2020 has gone to the 1% is not made any more nuanced by including that real wages have increased for the bottom 50%, as all it does is distract from the actual issues at hand.
MacOS aside, as this is not a serous operating system for this kind of workloads, do you think the "hoops" (which actually?) one needs to "jump through" are so problematic that it makes sense to create millions of lines of new code just to work around them? Only to arrive at the same result that is already working since something around 50 years? This must be really grave issues with just running a task as a different user… Could you expand on that?

Absolutely agree it is a good thing. Probably not everyone sees it that way though. As for the British people choosing to wind the empire down, I must have missed that referendum.

> No, that's a common claim but not really true. The UK had very little influence inside the EU and the EU rules were almost always made to satisfy the needs of either the EU institutions themselves, or the domestic economies of France and Germany.

All I can say is that as a lawyer in the EU (who works closely with the UK) that is not my perception or experience. EU financial regulation heavily bears a British stamp, and the single market was immensely beneficial for London. One of the main EU initiatives that was in full swing just as Brexit happened was the Capital Markets Union which was absolutely a UK-led initiative, headed by UK Commissioner Jonathan Hill. Since Brexit happened and Hill resigned, that initiative has trundled on, but has completely lost momentum and not really delivered what it was supposed to.

> Scotland would have to apply to join as a regular country and its finances are in no state that would allow that.

This seems as over-confident a prediction as the predictions that the UK would never vote to leave. The EU took in Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria for political reasons, it is not that much of a stretch to say it could take in Scotland.
