The downside of Esperanto is that very few people speak it and is harder to learn in some ways as there's far less media in the language – you got that 1960s William Shatner film that's entirely in Esperanto, and maybe 2 or 3 more, and ... that's it.

Meanwhile you can learn English from watching Star Trek, Time Team, SpongeBob, reading Harry Potter, The Hobbit, shitposting on Reddit, etc.

For better or worse, English already is the de-facto universal language, or the closest we have to it. We tried the Esperanto thing back in the 20s, and it didn't really work out as there was very little interest outside of a fairly sizeable but ultimately limited group of enthusiasts. I don't see how Esperanto or any other constructed language will take off in the foreseeable future.

Continued evolution of English pronunciation and spelling seems like a more realistic and better option – the language will change anyway, as all languages do, so might as well ensure it changes in a reasonable direction. Time spent advocating Esperanto is probably better spent on advocating more consistent English.
> One of the best products I've purchased in last decade.

Agreed. I have gone through two dozen IEM and over ear headphones in two decades, and the BOSE QC35 II are the best I have ever used. Worth every penny.

Wanna know what's funny? Everybody loves to hate on BOSE, but they are consistently better than any other brand I've ever bought. Their sound quality might not be great, but they make up for it with comfort, practicality and sturdier than any other brand in that price range.

I use some Beyerdynamics DT880 on my desktop, they are somehow worse than the QC35. Tinny highs than need EQ, too shallow so my very delicate ears rest on the internal hard mesh and they hurt after a few hours. They do not spark joy.
This sounds nice but in reality you need sophisticated grid controlling measures to have a fixed frequency for many things. This is doable just good to be aware of it.
An actual physical dice roll obeys QM, and if you want to compute how the dice will roll and bounce in the physical world, you’ll absolutely have to deal with QM, and true randomness will be involved.

The other part of this is that a third places mixes people of different social strata, and you end up talking to them, getting a cross pollination of ideas.

A self selecting hobby group is not necessarily this.

A hackerspace may be more like this, or a community garden, but a competitive chess club? Probably no.

A gym? Cost, physical exertion immediately excludes a lot of society from participating.

With android termux you can install e.g. django/wagtail and take it from there.

In a sense these projects prove the obvious yet hidden-in-plain-sight: the vast numbers of mobile computing devices that have circulated since the "iPhone moment" could be reconfigured in all sort of ways to be more than a dumb touch screen client for scrolling down social media pages.

If we ever get to see a true open mobile OS there might be a Cambrian explosion of new applications and use cases. Not holding my breath though. The failure of open source mobile to reach a workable stage is now pretty clear. It seems this domain is TITO (too important to open).
That sounds like a more plausible explanation, they're trying to juice up.

Screen tearing is more or less unavoidable on X. I've had tearing issues on Nvidia, Intel and AMD.

Avoiding jank is also more or less impossible on X. There is no substitute for Wayland's "every frame is perfect" model.

Oh, and you can't connect a high DPI screen and a low DPI screen at the same time with X; to the degree that DPI scaling works at all, it's one global setting so you get to choose whether stuff should be absurdly big on your low DPI monitor or absurdly small on your high DPI monitor.

Show HN: I built custom GIS Engine for investment mapping
Hi,
Out of desperation using slow and expensive ESRI ArcGIS, we're building a custom GIS engine to facilitate presentation layers for urban mapping that is easier to code and communicate with other smaller applications. The app we built was meant to help local people or investors perform preliminary due diligence using location-specific parameters (demographic profile, zoning regulation, business requirements, POIs, indexes, and potential calculator). With this app, we're helping people to assess which location is best to build their next business. We also managed to add machine learning rendered of zoning prediction model into the app.

You can try our prototype here https://jakarta.pintoinvest.com. There is a guest account with password in the login form so you can try limited features.
Simply click (and zoom in and out) on the map to start. Very sorry it was all in Bahasa (not ready in English yet), but I do hope you get the idea.

We are delightful with the response we received from delegations of City of Berlin and City of Bangkok during their visit upon seeing this app. Next, we're building custom spatial repository in order to replace ESRI ArcGIS completely. Do you think this app has potential for success if we release for public use? Users would be from city administers or maybe business organizers. Let me know your thoughts.
Because commute is unpaid time that is completely wasted. If you have a way to charge your company it will be nice compromise.

It's sad to place that line at age 35... your abs are there, they will invariably show up when your body fat is nearing 10%. Getting there becomes a bit more difficult with age due to metabolism, but only slightly so... It is one of the easiest goals of body building, and one of the coolest too.

This book is unique in that it offers a very good overview of Common Lisp concepts for beginners and professionals alike. There is some pretty advanced content in there presented in a very succint way.

As for the date, please know that this book is about ANSI Common Lisp. That is it is about a standardised language. It is not implementation or hardware specific. Therefore 90%+ of the content is relevant today as it is when it was written. That is simply the nature of Common Lisp.

If I was to make a Common Lisp lecture I would use this book and expand on the content where apropriate.
That definition of neoliberalism falls a bit short, don't you think? Core concepts of neoliberalism are:

1. Deregulation

2. Free global trade

3. Financial globalization

4. Some varying kinds of austerity politics by governments

5. Privatization of public goods

Take alone those five points and scan through the western history of the past 30 years and tell me the aforementioned concepts are not the cause of most of our current crises.

I'm not even an anticapitalist, in fact I believe most people who claim to be anticapitalist are actually anti-neoliberals.

Bunnify: Go library for publishing and consuming events for AMQP
Every workplace I have been had their own AMQP library. Most of the time the problems that they try to solve are reconnection, logging, correlation, handling the correct body type for events and dead letter.

Most of this libraries are good but also built upon some other internal libraries and with some company's specifics that makes them impossible to open source.

Some developers are often spoiled with these as they provide a good dev experience and that is great; but you cannot use it in side projects, or if you start your own company.

So out of the question of "what happens if I jump to a start up that has nothing and I am going to work with events across distributed apps?". I created my own take at the issue.

Bunnify abstracts many of the technical details of AMQP publishing and consumption making it easy to get started with event-driven architecture without needing to be an AMQP expert.

I am wondering if you can share a few words your skepticism around Microsoft and Open Source.

You sound pragmatic and I might learn a lot from your views.

Corporations are not people and I still see some people within MS do some dumb stuff. That said, the company overall seems to have embraced Open Source quite fundamentally and genuinely.

First off, most of .NET is firmly and truly Open Source at this point. Azure is deeply in bed with Linux. Microsoft Edge shows that MS has learned that they can add value without having to take on the entire codebase.

Hackaday Prize 2023: The NEOKlacker Pocket Computer
Do people have mental bandwidth to learn about stuff not directly related to their day-to-day tasks? In my experience, in a coding job, I'm typically overwhelmed by the mountains of minutia that the codebase entails. I'd prefer to perfect my knowledge of the code base instead of listening to some talk, that I might as well find on youtube.
I've even had it generate SVG from Graphviz dot syntax reasonably well, including doing basic layout. It's not great (nowhere near good enough to rely on), but given the complexity of graph layout algorithms that's not surprising. That it can even start to do it and deal with the visuals (e.g. try to avoid overlap etc.) was pretty impressive.
I think humans were more devastating to the environment elsewhere (e.g. in Europe) simply because there were more humans there. Also, tropical rainforests are not really comparable to forests in temperate regions. So my theory is that the faster-growing forest and the lower population density protected the rainforest of South America (and also equatorial Africa) until the 20th century.
It means more than just free trade though. It's free trade on every level of society, not just between countries. Ironically, it's the exact category of logical error that Adam Smith points out in Mercantilism in "The Wealth Of Nations", except it's done in reverse. Neoliberalism is essentially the (mis)application of macroeconomic logic to microeconomics, which leads to the conclusion that the market optimizes for the public good, a conclusion which is held as an article of faith among neoliberals.

Their almost religious fervor gave them a lot of impetus for a while, but as examples of neoliberal policy failing to live up to the promise have been piling up in the last 30 years, their currency of "dude, trust me" has faced significant devaluation.

It's lead to the dismantlement and privatization of of social institutions to the clear detriment of everyone who isn't a shareholder in the privately owned replacements. The American prison system is perhaps the best example of this going awry.

Good definition, but then you see people like Trump being called "Neoliberal" when he definitely didn't allow free trade and, in fact, implemented tariffs.

Trump's "America First" economic policy was the opposite of Neoliberalism.

You also get Democrats who signed on to stimulus packages (again, opposite of Neoliberal austerity) being called "Neoliberal" by their detractors.

As far as I can see, it's a snarl term.
