We should certainly send China a bill for any damages and costs when their "mostly peaceful" research craft with limited maneuverability, which is illegally in our airspace and also not compliant with many FAA regulations, is accidentally involved in a mid-air collision with US military asset in which both are destroyed. In this case, and several others like it, a $499,000 un-crewed US air vehicle was also ultimately destroyed. Let alone the environmental cleanup, there is also the cost of the fighter sent in an attempt to escort, in retrospect unsuccessfully, the foreign craft to safety, fuel, ground crews, etc. It is only fortunate that no people were harmed thus far. We regret that the foreign craft was destroyed in this preventable and unnecessary accident and, regardless of fault, every effort will be made to return any recovered remains to the rightful owner once the bill for the damages is paid and ownership/title is determined.

If the judgement, in proper US courts, of the damages is not paid in a timely fashion, property of the owners or citizens thereof may be seized to satisfy the debt.

You could seize about two-dozen houses in Pasadena owned by Chinese nationals or corporations and be square.

I think those usually also want real storage space, NVMe either can’t offer that, or it would make the build so expensive, electricity stops mattering. And in those cases, 4-12 24 TB HDDs will out-consume your other hardware anyway ;)
Yeah, it's fairly obvious from the fossil records that all humans were using cash back in the tribal nomadic days hundreds of thousands of years ago. There literally has never been any other ways humans have organized other than wage labor.
Here are a couple of reference documents [1][2]

tl;dr : the ACLU used to be a free speech absolutist organization to the point of self-sabotage. (eg: Jewish ACLU lawyers defending Neo-Nazis). In that sense, it went from a libertarian organization to a progressive activist organization that now supports cases that suppress civil liberties as long as the cause supports their (faux activist?) progressive agenda.

The “thicker skin” you speak of has multiple dimensions. Yes, people absolutely used to turn the other cheek more often about social issues that we now discuss. But it’s not because those issues were merely political in nature or because people were more accepting of insult. It’s because people had no other choice. Belonging to a marginalized group today is way safer than it was in the middle of the previous century.

In the middle of the last century, people were murdered for interracial relationships, beaten and imprisoned for being gay, institutionalized for being different. Undoubtedly, people wanted to avoid these things.
It's pretty easy to find that the example I gave isn't gamed... A cursory search on GitHub can find a couple examples like dotenv [1] and npm's cli [2] both use it via an older version of nodejs/readable-stream [3].

That’s good advice for people working at startups, but I work for a huge non-tech Fortune 50 company that employs tens of thousands of people who work on the products. I’m basically paid to spend time on “authentication or forms or worker queues”.
I've researched this recently.

Thermal decomposition of Vinyl Chloride Monomer forms HCl, CO, CO2, and trace phosgene.

Thermal decomposition of literally all the other chemicals listed produces CO and CO2.

It's likely that a certain number of animal deaths in the area have been caused by HCl being absorbed by water (in lungs) and forming acid, or CO/CO2 displacing oxygen and suffocating them.

As far as I have found, none of the chemicals spilled is toxic to marine life. Dead fish could be coming from soot or other pollutants from the fire rather than from the chemicals.... hard to say.

By the way, VCM has a half life of about 20 hours in the atmosphere.
Media pipe looks really cool. I havent tried it. Have you?
Smartphones can be connected for days on the internal battery, using well under a watt, and they can be ready to respond instantly, and they have an app container system that makes everything just work.

I really think we need to start making Android servers a thing, at least for self hosting, maybe for everything.

Judging by how WearOS seems to be able to run on 35mA or less, I think there's a good case for just making an open fork of Android with similar optimizations, and putting it on literally everything resembling a smart device. I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of Android for Devices comes out someday, assuming Fuschia doesn't ruin the party.
Still possible to lose data in the modern dubious UI on the web, so you could an extension like GhostText and type comment in a regular text editor where you. get recovery for free even if both apps crash

The print version has the Recent Writings rendered at the end of the document. On my machine with "US Letter" page size and "No header/footer" I got 72 pages. The main article was 69 pages and the last three were the "cruft" (which includes the Recent Writings).

A quick hack might be to postprocess the PDF (eg: using Ghostscript) and trim the last three pages, if all you want is the main article.
That's great they squash some little project while the source images are probably still up on Twitter.

I open source my code specifically so that it can be re-used, ideally even for cases like this. To me, software freedom is the ability for it to be used for effectively any useful purpose, so that others don't have to do the same work again.

I understand that some folks don't believe the same thing, and use copyleft licenses so that their code can't be re-used in a closed way, and that's fair. Github shouldn't be training their product on copyleft licenses.

It's fair to call out its misuse of certain licenses, but "the equivalent of money laundering for violation of Open Source licenses" is simply inaccurate, as many licenses allow this type of re-use explicitly.
Beef up? How about screwed up?
Agreed. I posted this comment a few years ago, but it looks like it's relevant as here as well:

A potential acquisition came our way that seemed to be exactly what we were looking for. Customer traction and revenues, the features exactly what we were looking to overhaul. There was very high internal interest in acquiring the technology and the company.

The need for this set of features was so high and the internal development estimated to be so costly (in developer time and delays in other projects) we were willing to overlook that this app was not built on our primary stack and only a few of our developers were familiar with. The language choice made by the company didn’t cool our appetite. However, technological choices made us pass on the acquisition.

They didn’t use a framework.

This means that our developers would have a very long learning curve. We also saw a lot of code that did what a framework would have taken care off and this means that we would have had to learn, maintain and expand that code instead of working on the revenue generating features.

We found close coupling of code all over the place. This meant we couldn’t quickly extend and modify the features as we wanted without first paying back the technical debt accumulated by the developers.

It wouldn’t have mattered which framework they would have chosen as most of them have good documentation and force some sort of standard development practices. However, we couldn’t take a chance that all the behind the scenes stuff would need a rewrite if we wanted to expand and scale the platform. We passed.
Deaf people can feel the music at various degrees. Some deaf people even quite famously were composers themselves.

Also, not liking music doesn't mean you don't feel anything. And lastly, some people indeed have an inability of feeling but that typically extends beyond the realm of music, so it does not remove anything from the statement of the author.
The closest thing i can think of is ngnix - if i remember correctly, cloudflare built their business on top of ngnix in early days

“Just” run ngnix on your own servers from different geo locations. ngnix is very versatile, eg, load balancing, rate limiting, rule based firewall, caching…

but one important reason why saas/api/cloud businesses exist is that people don’t want to run their own servers for every project.
Yeah they’re definitely losing that edge, which is why I said “has been”. But I think they still have a bit of an edge, particularly for electronics, at the moment.

Same as any other job, by looking. Even I do something like that and I am not even close to corejs maintainer level

> reins

If you do this while working as independent contributor (popular in Russia) then it's not even a question, the company will not have any reins on whatever you do outside the contract. If you are employed then company may have the reins, but you will publish OSS while getting money and recognition for it, which is 80% of the formula.

It's also a specific choice of label though, and one which in the context of current discourse favors a particular side.

It's like insisting on calling anything physical "atom collections". Yes, we get it, it's true (under a certain interpretation)—but it's clearly pointless to say except as an attempt at devaluing through reduction. (And it takes a particular stance on what it means to "be" something: to say it's literally the truth that anything physical is "just atoms" isn't the only way of looking at it.)

There were things we could've called "statistical word generators" decades ago; insisting on using a term directed at that level of generality implies a belief that nothing significant has happened since. Printing press? Just atoms. Cars? Just atoms. Computers? Just atoms.

If there's a spot on the planet where NIMBYism is more powerful than in anyplace in the US, even the Bay Area, it's the London metro area. The "skyline" of London is London City, which is an entire history lesson itself. London itself is a bizarre snarl of roads and <ten story buildings that would make any American suburban sprawl proud.

If it weren't for the fact that a few generations of smart thinkers happened to put a subway in the middle of the mess, London is hopelessly unable to process being a global metropolitan capitol city. As a native English speaker from a top-10 urban Native English speaking area, I've never felt an area more alien to me than Urban London England -- and I've been across Asia, the Middle East, Central American, Mainland Europe, and a few other places...London was utterly bizarre and foreign.

It's clear that London is a tech and cultural hub because:

1 - It's a financial hub

2 - It's a political hub

3 - Rival France is so centrally focused on Paris

If I were a citizen of Britain, I would rapidly be looking elsewhere in the Kingdom to establish a tech hub. Almost anywhere else. Do a reboot, plan a proper city (maybe around the Chunnel in Dover), and let the politicians rot in London.
Cloudflare is more a combination of software and distributed networking resources.
An alternative path is that there are permanently illuminated areas near the "north" pole of the moon. This has a somewhat lower barrier to entry.
So now you'll be inclined to like Akamai by association, what's the actual difference?

It's still a widespread as human phenomenon though.

I am a big fan of Build Your Own X educational projects. Recently, I released a Go version of my build your own KV Store project.

I have set up this project in TDD fashion with the tests. So, you start with simple functions, pass the tests, and the difficulty level goes up. There are hints if you get stuck. When all the tests pass, you will have written a persistent key-value store.

I have musical anhedonia. Music does absolutely nothing for me. No emotional response at all. In my 50+ years of life I have never heard a single piece of music that gives me the chills, unless by that phrase we mean that all the music leaves me cold.

But, to the best of my knowledge this doesn’t extend beyond the realm of music for me. Though, on other odd thing about me is that I do not dream at night. At least, I’ve never woken up and remembered dreaming. I do have a vivid imagination during the day. I’m not sure if the non-music and non-dreaming are related or not. Other than those two things, I think I’m completely normal.

Pay and expenses are, globally, highly unusual. We also get "tricked" by the Anglophone similarities of Canada the UK into thinking we're all sort of the same place. But the reality is the the US generates more revenue, and thus pays more, and protects its tech sector better than anywhere else in the Anglosphere. Great paying jobs in the US, that might make $180k USD make $50k USD in central Europe.

As much as Americans think of the UK as a sort of second status foreign overseas territory, and as much as the UK think they're an extra special independent peanut, they're just as much a part of the European pay and expense scheme as anybody else in the mainland is.

Globally, tech workers are worth $40-95k USD. It sucks, but that's what it is.
This seems like an emotional angle rather than a rational one.

I self-host all my email, I know what's the point of local folders (heck, I've used mutt when I was really into TUIs), but I've never had an use case for them.

I mean, as someone who just made almost that exact move... (and not even into the relatively blue by comparison Bentonville area) I think more people might be willing to make the move than you'd think. I mean, it's probably still under 50%. But that area of AR isn't too bad.

Leaning on the stereotypes - I regularly saw more confederate flags and 'lets go brandon' type stuff in the Portland metro area than I have in AR (and I've spent a fair bit of time here) and I've been met with minimal grief here in spite of being the weird dude in the area with an electric car and shoulder length purple hair. Yes, Harrison still has their billboards that are pro white pride radio but there's other places in the state.

I'm a full time remote person but my move here was prompted by a combination of finding a place here that met our criteria and being nearer to my other half's family.

My usual comment: out of windows, macos and Linux only the Linux on laptop and on steamdeck can sleep and wake up reliably without draining all the battery for me. I know others have a different experience, but I'd just go with "none of the systems handle it reliably" if we're generalising.

I'm not arguing against the notion that Python doesn't need a more rigorous language spec. But I don't think that's the blocker for alternative implementations with significantly high performance - the parts that are well-documented already provide a lot of leeway to optimize if only user code didn't rely on it.

And if users don't read the docs today, I don't see why they'd suddenly read a formal spec tomorrow if one is available. The problem is that Python got successful specifically in form of CPython, making the latter a de facto standard whether it wants it or not. I understand the users, too: why should they bother writing implementation-agnostic code if they're planning to run it on CPython anyway, and the vast majority of developers who might want to reuse it will likely do the same?

Both. The combustion products of any of the chemicals listed as being on the train so far are CO, CO2, HCl, and trace phosgene. Only VCM has the last two. The HCl is the biggest risk because it's the largest product by volume and because when inhaled it forms hydrochloric acid with water in the lungs. Fortunately it will combine with water in the atmosphere if it finds that first.
Linode was my bread and butter for a while. They had cheap prices and decent support. And just enough bootstrap automation to get the job done (system online and ready for my Ansible or Puppet to mold it).
