What happens if you submerge superglue/soda "plastic" in water? Does the soda dissolve leaving just network of super glue?
I had help with the landing page. However, rest is mostly me. But I'm using lot of third-party stuff also.

REPL I have been thinking for a while, I'm not sure how I would do it unless there is a way to run zig cc in browser.

Would be harder without having a backend at the moment as it needs to run a C compiler to generate the final executable. (Not an interpreter)
Hmm, that sounds like good advice, thanks.
>Assange is also charged for conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, and conspiring to do so.

But if you read all the detailed reporting from Wired (and others) at the time, including interviews with the rat (Adrian Lamo, https://www.wired.com/2010/06/leak/ , https://www.wired.com/2010/05/lamo/) who made up that claim to save his own butt, it's clear that that charge is false as well. Assange never commited computer intrusion himself and he also never encouraged others to do so. That was a lie the FBI forced Lamo into during the case against Manning.

untapped? ahahahhaah

it's not untapped. it's just slightly more effective if I don't tell you I'm trying to program you.

in any case, in terms of "ultimate principles" all meaningful information is in the end an expression of some form of control;

more precisely, we can only observe (as a 3rd "objective" party) the results of meaningful exchanges between interacting entities by noticing (measuring) changing behaviors whenever "meaning" gets transferred from one to another entity; i.e. I'm pointing out that (similarly to electricity/magnetism) we can never observe "meaning" directly, but can measure its effects on beings interacting with the "fields of meaning" ahahhaha.

This is gonna blow your mind, but if you reread my comment, I qualified everything with "for web development"
Seems overblown to me, been a macos user for over a decade and the ios-ification o f the mac hasn't been a big deal for me. My greybeard workflows still work the same (everything in iterm, using vim, tmux, all the "standard stuff"), sometimes updating xcode is a pain but w/e. Homebrew still chugging along. Parallels is fantastic. Performance of the M1 Max on my new mac studio is just heavenly. The changes to macos have been nowhere near as egregious as what MS is butchering windows with.

The latest update added "Stage Manager" or whatever, tried it out for an hour...didn't really like it and turned it off, it never gets in my way trying to force itself on my like Windows does with all of its anti-features.

People complain about system preferences but I use spotlight to find settings when I need them, which works great - and once a setting is set I rarely change it. I don't think I've touched the preferences "app" since I initially setup my mac studio. The moaning and groaning about how bad it is just seems so.....pointless to me.

> Microsoft is 48 years old, but 2/3 of their market cap has been created in the last 5 years.

Unsure about the rest, but a quick search shows that 75% of Apple and 50% of Google market cap was created in the last 5 years. So some of the effect is a general tech boom that has been captured by Microsoft as well.
Yeah. I use this gorilla glue two part epoxy that comes in a dual syringe thingy. I think it even has metal or carbon fibres throughout. Easy to apply and mix together. Works super well. The lid is sticky but the thing has even fully usable for two years now.
A good intro to superglue. Here’s some more advice from working in factories and workshops over the years (doing something wrong in front of 50+ yr old engineers, craftsmen, and tradies who’ve been doing that job for 40+ years is a great way to pick up information).

The active ingredient in superglue activator sprays is water, the other stuff is expensive filler to justify their price tag. You can use a spray bottle filled with tap water instead, but the cheapest option and one that’s always on hand is just to breathe on it like you’re trying to fog up a window. Fume safety: close your eyes when doing this, and move your head away before breathing in.

If you have a gap in what you’re gluing, don’t do any of this “sprinkling bicarb soda on it” nonsense unless you only have superglue and bicarb soda. If there’s a gap or you’re trying to fill space, superglue is the wrong tool for the job, you want two-part epoxy. They put epoxy next to superglue at the hardware store for a reason, you’re supposed to buy both together so you’re ready for anything. “Superglue” might be a brand name in your area so others will have to use the term “CA glue” or their own brand name; if it has cyanoacrylate, it’s superglue. Both epoxy and superglue are waterproof once cured. While you’re in the glue aisle, grab some wood glue as well and you’re pretty much covered for all jobs. For high-volume specific applications it’s worth doing research as there may be a glue that’s better suited for that specific application - usually cheaper, comes in the amount you need, and is more convenient to apply. A common case you might run into is connecting PVC pipes, where you want “pipe cement”.

There are exceptions to the previous rule of “don’t use filler to make superglue stretch across a gap”. Bicarbonate is a great filler with superglue if you must use this method for some reason, as is thread. I’ve also been told sand works, never tried it. And for cheap cosmetic repairs in wood, mixing sawdust with superglue is a great filler for small holes like you get from nailing or drilling the wrong spot. Mix it in the hole, sawdust and superglue sets so quick you’ll probably see smoke. It won’t take a stain like the wood around it, fine woodworking has other solutions like wood putty.

As a rule, glue bonds are stronger than the materials they’re joining and the material will break before the glue joint does. If your glue joint is separating, you’re using the glue wrong, or using the wrong glue. It might also be the wrong joint for glue. Glue bonds aren’t appropriate for joints that will experience repeated flexing, they will fail pretty quickly in those situations. You want a mechanical fastener - bolt, screw, nail, dowel - to take the flexing instead. In these cases, drilling both ends of the joint and gluing in a dowel puts the glue to work in a much more favorable way. Glue and nail is a standard method in wood construction.

> and at least it’s consistent with iOS.

And thanks to this peculiar way of thinking we also have several layers of UI inconsistencies in Windows, for example. Someone thought "let's unify everything" but, assuming this is a good idea at all, you really need a lot of work, planning, effort, and most of all imagination to make sure the final result is actually an improvement for the users of both mobile and desktop systems rather than being a mediocre one-size-fits-all solution.

Using GET to request a resource, kind of makes sense. Usually you want to send some information to the endpoint as well though, which makes a GET a bit awkward.
> Flash back to React replacing the perfectly-fine functional components with hooks (because Vue did it).

I think the timeline went wrong. React did it first, vue did it latter.
Say what you will about the new version, but the old version of System Preferences was certainly not "chaotic". I found it very pleasant to look at and navigate.

This new thing violates much of Apple's own HIG, and despite running Ventura for half a year, I still find myself hunting for things that should be easy to find. Quick: where do you go to turn the volume menubar control on or off?

Disagree. Also, are staffers losing trust or are you just seeing anecdotal evidence? It’s pretty easy to know, there’s a pulse survey every 6 months that asks people how much they trust mgmt at fb. It’s the highest metric when I was there and I would bet it still is pretty high. Don’t get fooled by the vocal minority.
IMO this is a great take.

There will always going to be a lack of product builders. Not software engineers. But product people who can think of not only "HOW" but also "WHY" and "WHAT".

Sure, the way we work will probably change, but the need for people who are building something useful and consciously finding ways how to deliver value won't cease.

Not sure if they fixed it yet but starting a month or so ago FB disabled creating test users which broke our release process in one corner of the org. Same thing you mentioned, lots of bug reports, no response other than boilerplate 1st level support.

JFC, "when you get more experience". If you people are going to be throwing around this bs you better have your linkedin on your profile and you better have 20 years of experience.

That's how I see this. When customers buy Windows, they don't realize they are signing up for an ad-supported platform that vaccums up their data. It's trickery that you think you're buying an operating system, but it's actually your attention and data that are the product.

Maybe we need a "contains adware" or "violates your privacy" label, FDA-style...
>It suffers from worldwide popularized optimism

Yes, that is certainly true. It bothers me that I can't explain why Asimov, for example, didn't refrain from silly FTL fantasy when he knew better, even then. I pity the science-optimists who claim victory and hope with every advance, but then ignore the constraints who's reality undergird every advance (esp relativity, in this case).

>That's psychologically enough for the world

The universe, or God if you prefer, has thrown down the gauntlets and left us in a default dead state. This is urgent on a long time scale. Fantasy calling itself "science fiction" does damage to our collective physical intuitions, and our intuitions about the future. (A fact which has not gone unnoticed by those with the means to fund such entertainments). But in truth I don't care about what the world wants, I care about keeping it alive long enough to become multi-system. Then, sure, entertain yourself to death if you want. It's only one world, at that point. The last few years have greatly revised (downward) my estimate of modern human knowledge of science, and reality in general. Until then, yeah, if NASA were to come out strongly in favor of protecting our collective scientific minds by requiring virtually all "science fiction" to be relabeled "fantasy", I'd be for it. Why do we assume that children must be protected from sexual imagery but warping their physical intuition is fine??

>The Universe has plenty to say about both hat sizes and sex.

Not at the scale I'm talking about. The nihilistic, self-amusing jokes of the cynic who lies to himself and says he doesn't care, that he is courageously indifferent, show fear. Total, abject fear.

Would be nice if some company started making window heat pumps that are more efficient and do heating as well as cooling to replace window air conditioners. I've read of one company that makes them but they never seem to be available in the US. It would be a great way to start transitioning heating to electric with greater efficiency. Instead of buying an air conditioner for cooling people could buy a window heat pump and get more efficient cooling and replace some of their winter heating with efficient electric heat.

It will be interesting to see a modern design, rather that the something based on 1930s physics, 1940s construction methods, built in the 1950s and put into use in the 1960s like some of these military reactors they used for remote bases.

Whenever I use midjourney, which is a lot, I think about what I could accomplish if I actually had art skills, to feed to it, and to edit and compose its results, and if all these tools were tightly integrated into existing tools.

It seems similar. New heights are possible for those with skills, and the barriers are lowered for those without training. There will be new demand for both things, competition for quality at the top, and new applications where it wasn't worth it to produce art before at the bottom.

Both art and programming seem hard to predict what value you'll get out of investing in skills now, because there's both barriers being broken down and demand being opened up.

I do think there is a key difference, though, which is software hasn't shown signs that it's getting close to done "eating the world" yet, due to the universal nature of the turing machine. It's nothing to do with programmers being special and everything to do with computers being a single tool that's applicable to everything and has sustained decades of exponential gains in power.

I wouldn't stop someone from investing in art skills if that's their interest, and I wouldn't stop someone from investing in programming skills if that's their interest. But if they were interested in both equally, I would absolutely suggest programming.
Meta: there are lots of video posts tagged "[video] (youtube)", which is redundant, and gives no information beyond that it's a video. Could that second half mention the YouTube channel that's being referenced? That would be the equivalent of most website references. Perhaps "[video] (youtube.com/@Clough42)"?
Military. We have an important teleconference monday morning with some new people using new systems (0500 local, noon in europe). That means we need to do a coms check today (sunday) if we want to have enough time to iron out any details. Sunday is also a better time for such things as the systems/rooms are not already booked for other things. So we can run late without having to bump other groups off of equipment/networks/rooms etc. But there are lots of civilian tech jobs that require work on the weekends too. Data centers do not shut down on weekends, nor do the millions of network connections that tie everything together.
I feel like if you were on the ISS and the crew stopped to admire a particularly beautiful view of Earth, you'd be the one to start complaining about...something. Whether or not your complaint is legitimate, the fact that you'd pick this moment, this thread, to complain about your favorite little topic, means you've missed the point entirely. (This is the most common failure mode among humans, so you're in good company).
Frameworks come and go. I rather give the credit to the creator not the company. It solved there problem and open sourcing it benefits them more not the community. Now they don't need to train new Facebook developers on some internal framework. Now 1000s of engineers move their framework forward vs only the ones they pay.

React had 2 major contributions which were industry changing on the front end, IMO, and may not have happened or would have happened a lot later without it.

1. Virtual Dom
2. One way data binding

I think one could argue that the virtual DOM wasn’t important, and possibly even led the industry in the wrong direction considering how it’s not as popular, for good reasons, anymore.

One way data binding was huge, however. Every other framework at the time was proudly promoting 2 way data binding. 2 way data binding would be in their website’s hero image and their entire sample app (invariably a todo list app) would be based around promoting the benefits of 2 way data binding.

I think minus React, a switch to one way data binding would have taken much longer, simply because the momentum behind 2 way data binding was so strong.

I just wish there were hardware to support a full switch to Raspbian. Ken has a lot of RPi 4. Those are usable as an interactive desktop but it's not a great experience, the hardware is just barely capable of being a responsive desktop OS.

Given the way capitalism works there will be a market for AI software. However, the cloud server provides have created Frankenstein patchworks of technologies in order to deploy the stuff on the cloud. DevOps will still very much be a thing.

I havent really ised redhat based distros since redhat 5.4....If you want to go for a walk on the wild side try cachyos. It makes arch easy and has some nice defaults (atleast for kde, not sure about gnome, as i went kde them recently hyprland). It also has v3 and some v4 architecture compiled packages which are more performant on newer cpus. The pacman defaults are reasonable as well regarding parallel downloads.
