> The real point of this blogpost isn't Wireworld itself, but how Hoot enabled making this Wireworld demo. [..] The last time we talked about Hoot (our Scheme->WASM project) we talked about directly compiling Scheme to WebAssembly. This is of course the higher level goal of Hoot: since Spritely's tooling is written in Guile Scheme, we want Spritely to be in the browser, and compiling Scheme programs themselves to WebAssembly is a great way to accomplish that goal.

I think curriculum training is going to come back around now that we have found an approach that generally works. That seems like the direction a lot of these papers are going.
not the GP but I've been happy on fosstodon.org. It has been reliable and I've found a lot of good people to follow on it, including the founder of MNT.
Actually the law is not always clear cut and there's a lot of clarifications, appeals, etc that are brought to the regulatory agencies
There is a platform that has some similar ideas, it's called Stacker News. I especially like the idea of splitting income between the builers/hosters and posters and voters of posts.

I see where you're coming from, but that doesn't match my experience. Plenty of non white people immigrate to different countries to try their luck at a better life.

Maybe the difference is what standard you compare yourself to?

- Black dude from Rwanda: I might as well move to Thailand, maybe I'll have better luck over there
If you were using CDK you’d switch to bicep which also uses code instead of config files.
>Countries do not change their laws just to make some random accounting software company happy

Countries change laws to give their citizens access to important products. It's not about the company.

The USA didn't decide to rewrite existing telephony laws for VOIP in the 90s because they wanted to give Skype a handout, they did it because they understood the potential benefits of internet telephony for the populous.

> Accounting software have tons of local adaptations.

You can't locally adapt a ledger that is globally shared across all the other countries. Either you allow the ledger in your country or you don't.
I still use TextMate. I don’t know whether development has slowed or stopped, but I haven’t had any issue recently. I find it less clunky and nicer than Sublime Text, which is my second choice and my escape route the day TextMate dies. It’d be a pain to convert all those bundles, though. TextMate’s support for esoteric language grammars is second to none and last time I checked some of mine depended on features not implemented in Sublime Text.
> “People always tell you to follow your dream”.

Perhaps in the US. It's the privilege of living in an extremely wealthy country - the risk of following your dream is not that high, since, if you fail, you'll probably still be able to eke a relatively comfortable living. It doesn't work that way in most other countries. In most places, having a stable job that allows you to afford an apartment or (gasp) a house!, IS the dream, whereas in the US it's almost seen as failure due to lack of ambition.

However, seeing that living expenses in the US (mainly housing) are going way up, perhaps the era of following your dreams will end there (US) as well?

Similar story: Friend and I put out a kernel driver (uxstyle.sys) that would patch Microsoft's theming digital signature checks. It was free, buggy, and bugchecked the OS on upgrade. It was unsurprisingly added to compatibility blocks in Windows. I fixed the bug and asked Microsoft to loosen the block (version X and below). Microsoft refused citing a EULA violation. Valid or not, I renamed the driver to elytsxu.sys to circumvent their check and the app worked well enough until third-party theming fell out of favor.
There is are good reasons why the leisure class and the leisure class lifestyle exists. Conspicuous leisure and Conspicuous consumption serve specific purposes. Look them up.

The problem is most ppl get introduced to the lifestyle, with some half baked, to non existent idea about the purposes, and even lower awareness of their own needs/goals.

If you are clear about what your needs/goals are, and how these processes help you get to them, then automatically behavior is regulated. Cuz it becomes clear - I need to do x to get y. Do I need to do more than x? Not really and I could be doing z in that time to speed up getting to y instead. So a limit appears.

But for ppl who adopt the lifestyle and are not clear about what they want or where they are heading, these limits wont appear its easy to fall into mindless routines. It wont matter what tactics anyone suggests to survive the lifestyle if you if you are not clear what Needs/Goals of yours it meets.
Heating and warm water is excluded.

I can't find any "average kwh for heating" numbers though. If the US number of roughly 10.000 kwh per year included heating, that could be roughly comparable to what the German average could be. Numbers that I find range from 14.000kwh for old homes with Gas usage to 3000kwh for modern homes with heat pumps.

Would make more sense than the US average being 4x while roughly using the same electronics.

Rural life does not work. We need to stop encouraging it.

You get low productivity, high costs, very limited access to services, very poor outcomes for health, education, happiness, etc.

Instead of eeking along and pretending we can make these places work, we should spend those resources enabling people to move to urban areas.

IIRC, Terraform was not Turing-complete at the start, but users demanded features and that’s how it ended.

The idea to start from a programming language is that, since you are going to end up Turing-complete anyway, at least you make sure you don’t end up with a programming language with an awkward syntax.

Ah, a variant on good old fanatical christian trope that suffering is good, helps get through purgatory blah blah blah. 'Mother' Teresa would vehemently agree with you.

How can you gauge other people's suffering? It can easily be completely crippling, not unlike extreme poverty is so stressful that it effectively blocks people from working themselves out of it.

I am not just bashing you, I went through something similar, the worst breakup in my life was the motivation for me to start working out in the gym, lean even more on cool extreme sports, start running etc. But I know people in similar situation that simply couldn't move, stuck in vicious circle of self-pity, grief, self-harm in various ways, and more regrets.

What we should do as society be tolerant, humble and accept that nobody, especially politicians with actual power know everything. Give people tools, explain or even guide them, be helpful, give a hand if needed, but otherwise let people be. You can't protect stupid from their own stupidity anyway, not through regulation.
I hate to do this but I don't want people to read your comment and make that their understanding of history:

The FDA did not exist until 1930. Even if you count the predecessor agencies they did not 'approve' drugs. They were tasked with fraud prevention (selling things that weren't what they claimed to be) and safety in the sense that the product wasn't poison, but not with ensuring that the thing it claimed to be was actually safe. The legislation which gave the FDA authority to restrict drugs to prescription use and require safety and efficacy approval was the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act which was passed in 1938.
Only after it became effectively impossible to find it or recover anything useful. That’s not anything like the Wuhan lab, which still exists and has many survivors and still has tons of evidence that hasn’t been corroded away by years of seawater.

You edited in your quip about antidepressants and it just made your point even worse. There was still a significant amount to learn about what he did to the copilot and what the actual flight route was.

There were multiple parties outside of the plane that had to be incompetent in many of the possible flight paths for MH370. Your solution of “stuff more antidepressants down everyone’s throats” will not work for the coverage gaps in ATC monitoring and handoffs between boundaries.

Your lackadaisical approach to “well we spent a few days looking into this and can’t see anything obvious or think there is anything to gain by knowing the truth” is far from acceptable in any root cause analysis related to loss of life.

How do you unequivocally know that this can’t be traced back to a manufacturing or design flaw in a piece of containment equipment used by many BSL labs around the world?

The answer is that you can’t because there is no investigation right now. Burying your head in the sand is never good enough, not even if it’s politically convenient.

My three examples of "CSS bloat" - by which I mean "interesting but do we really need them?" are:

+ CSS Colors[1] - very nice to have, but do we need all of them? Given the chance, I mostly stick to oklab() and oklch() nowadays; I don't see myself reaching for color('a98-rgb' ...) anytime in the near future.

+ CSS Houdini[2] - giving us devs the power to extend the CSS engine in interesting and innovative ways is very exciting ... but a lot of the functionality requires JS help (why-oh-why use JS classes as part of the definition process?) which is going to be problematic for environments that ignore or suppress JS

+ CSS Animation[3] - I like this functionality (the granularity of control is very welcome!), but we also have CSS transition[4] and I've never understood the need to have two animation systems when a single system could have covered all situations (I expect there's a really good explanation somewhere but I've never gone looking for it).

I was thinking that maybe AGI won't be here for a long time. The reason is because humans take in so much data, process it, and use it without our conscience even knowing.

For example, when driving on the road, we know inherently that if you see a heavily modified BMW with tinted mirrors, you need to be prepared to break because the chance of it cutting you off is higher than a Prius.

To know why modified BMW drivers often do this, you have to understand that some people like to show off. To understand why someone would want to show off, you have to understand something else. And so on...

There are probably even more subtle information that we take in without us knowing and we make decisions based on that data.

There are just so many things that the human brain learns over a lifetime that any AI will have a hard time duplicating.

> Coinbase makes their money by working in a grey area. Why should the public subsidize large businesses in this way?

Because the public through its government is what created the grey area, so it should cover the cost of its lack of clarity, as a disincentive for causing it.

> Why can't it be part of Coinbase's business strategy to remain on the correct side of the law and then lobby congress for changes to those laws?

The entire point is that nobody will say whether they're allowed to do this, so they can't even know if they're on the correct side of the law. How dumb is it that the only way to find out if you can legally do something is to do it without knowing whether you're allowed to?

> That's how it's been done for the past two centuries. Why change now?

The best time to change a bad rule is two centuries ago. The second best time is immediately.

Well their entire careers is to endlessly scream the complete destruction of all cryptocurrencies, which is simply not going to happen. It's all about the rolling out of the FedNow rails, to place their own CBDCs there.

Overall, this outrage (and the article) is nothing short of wanton alarmism and sensationalisation of the situation. Not a mention of the Ripple Labs vs. SEC case which in the latest of the case the SEC attempted to request the sealing of documents on Hinman's speech in 2018 which that request was denied [0] and will benefit Ripple's case against the SEC's internal decision making of the matter which is also relevant to the current Coinbase vs. SEC litigation.

China on the other hand is now doing the exact opposite. [1]

Many texts on such things dive deep into psychology and evolutionary biology, but ignore sociological and anthropological studies that draw a clear picture of how this system works. In this text there are just 2 references to them, and though Webber's works were foundational, there've been a lot of works in sociology in the past 100 years.

The two most promiment names, that this text doesn't even mention, are Erving Goffman and Pierre Bourdieu. Goffman systemized a lot of social interactions. Pierre Bourdieu focused on classes and their reproduction.

Instead, a lot of authors and laymen theorize by building a bridge from, say, macroeconomics and geopolitics, directly into human psychology or bio-psychology, deriving big trends and state structures from simple knee-jerk-like psychological reflexes.
It might not be a total freeze, but it's pretty binary - opiates and booze never help get out of poverty, homelessness, depression or pretty much anything else.
I dig a bit: as I thought there is just a pretty extensive promotion from which you get the idea that the new dc is in operation, while it is not: a friend told me they are well behind but trying, this way, to catch customers that are some how forced to exit AWS due to missing AWS certification (I guess around privacy).

it is really this hard to know more?
Selfish means to lack consideration for others or to be concerned only with your needs. A donation that makes you feel good but benefits others doesn’t really fit that term. If it’s done purely to advance yourself through brand or something like that, or gain financial opportunities then I think I’d agree it could be selfish.

Like those act of kindness videos on YouTube with millions of views and earning the creators thousands of dollars.
I deliberate refrain from using facts in most of what I say. They make people stop thinking and questioning. I want you to engage with the idea and find out if it's right on your own.
I don't even know why they bother at this point. Why not just cut to the chase and say if you give us enough money we'll give you the power to stop whoever you want doing whatever they are doing right now.

There's not even a pretence this is helping innovation any more.
>You're going to be paying the eng/ops cost now anyhow,

No you’re not. The people in this thread saying that have never actually managed technology because a vendor change that also requires a hardware swap is significantly more expensive than the drop in hardware swap.

The only exception to this is if you were already in the middle of the transition and were planning to phase it out shortly anyway.
In lieu of all the nearly hundred comments arguing life should be carried forth this way or that way or another, here's my two cents instead:

You Only Live Once.

To the extent you don't bother or harm your fellow peers, go as calm or as wild as your heart desires. So long as you have agency in where your life takes you, you at least won't regret anything.

YOLO.

> All investments come with some level of risk and riskier investments, on average, provide a higher return.

Average outcome is computed by summing multiple potential outcomes, and diving by number of trials. It's completely meaningless in the context of big life decisions, because you don't get many trials - you get one or, at best, several.

By illustration - let's say someone offers you to either take a guaranteed $1000, or a wager where you flip a coin and, if you win, you get $502k, but if you lose, you owe $500k. That wager has a expected value (i.e. average outcome) of $2k, which is greater than the guaranteed $1k you'd otherwise be getting. And yet, it's obviously a terrible choice, due to 50% chance of giving you debt that will cripple you for life.

Conspiracy stuff: just removing competitors outright and taking advantage of inroads to sell what they really want to sell (their own brands).

A similar thing I saw: Asahi was in charge of Budweiser distribution in Japan. Absolutely miserable sales (not that I like Budweiser, or would drink it by choice), almost no presence. AB got the rights back to sell it, and now Budweiser is a reliable presence in many places and I see it out there in ways I never did.

My head canon is that Asahi got the distribution rights purely to slow roll it and make it so that AB would have no reason to build up a local presence. That way Asahi protects its local brands and simply needs to send some executive once a year to be like "hey I dunno nobody seems interested in this drink"
Not a mistake. At worse a tradeoff. Hiding a scroll bar when you go below some arbitrary document height that would classically warrant a scroll bar is just confusing. People who use a mouse to scroll will not know what to do and assume there is a bug. And sometimes you want scrollbar level control even on a short document.

It is not forcing them to use the scrollbar: keyboard shortcuts and menu items should still work as well.
> We're coming up on 10000 resources in our main Terraform repository and while there is definitely some friction, it's overall much better than having to hit the cloud API's to gather each of those states which would probably take at least an order of magnitude longer.

I don't think that's necessary true. Most cloud API's actually can return hundreds of records with 1 API calls, e.g. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/APIR... has a maximum page size of 400.

If I manage the cloud resources via some custom tools and/or with some ansible-fu, I can decide to batch the API calls when it makes sense.

With terraform, it is not possible to do so (https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/issues/66, https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/2...).
Older people love to talk about how they bought a house working a minimum wage job or how the janitor became CEO of the company when neither are a reality due to their greed.

Most young people are angry about the fact that their living and educational expenses are far higher than the older people responsible, and profiting from that increase. Refer also to the increase in retirement age and poorer pensions for younger generations.

Managing C++ dependencies _is_ much easier! It's either "run this setup exe" or "extract this zip file/tarball/dmg and run".

This is because most people don't care about developing the project, just using it. So they don't care what the dependencies are, just that things work. C++ might be more difficult to handle dependencies to build things, but few people will look into hacking on the code before checking to see if it's even relevant.
My experience with LG&E and Time Warner in Kentucky circa 2008 was getting a shutoff notice dated the day after the payment due date with 14 days to comply. They did in-fact shut the power off at the state date.

This was a common occurrence that people referred to as 'brown billing' because the shutoff notice had a brown header instead of the green header on your regular utility bill.
Movies and games are a temporary escape as well. Should we not use those?

Who are you to say what is proper? Sure, most things they say not to use at all - but at the same time, many drugs aren't really going to harm you if you are using occasionally for a fun escape.

And I don't know if you know this, but some folks simply aren't going to escape their misery. Being just above poor for many years just sucks, for example. Having physical pain sucks. Past trauma sucks. Boredom sucks, and is absolutely miserable for some folks.

Heck, I don't view my own life as bad, and I find some things as a positive escape that I just can't get anywhere else. It is more akin to finding different flavors of life. When I was miserable, I was also always sober save for nicotine and caffeine... the sobriety wasn't the cause of the misery though.

It just isn't for you - not with that attitude, and perhaps you've not met folks with a decent attitude for it. And that's OK.
