Um... OP is complaining the CPP hasn't paid debt accumulated by ROC in 1938. Go home, girlfriend, that boy 'aint gonna call you back.

And they recommend that the CPP pay the USG for delinquent bonds held by private individuals in the states. I don't think that's how this works.
I've heard that most human beings are fairly obsessed with social status.

> I don’t go around tweaked into mild cyclical agitation or outrage.

Taking a break also makes it easier for me to identify those that are steeped in the rhetoric of the day. It's educational and a little unnerving.
There are plenty of injustices happening locally against which you can take meaningful action.
I agree with the premise - type-level logic is still just logic, so why not unify the syntax? There's a specification / model checking system called TLA+. This is exactly how you specify types - just as predicates in the same logic as the behavior is defined in. The issue is, it's not statically checkable.

I think the issue is that the vast minority of logic is statically checkable, so your type-level logic would have so many weird restrictions that you couldn't use the full syntax anyway. So it's actually beneficial to keep them separate.
I really didn’t hear about Astro until more recently after I started playing with blogging using Next.js.

I gave Astro a look over and promised myself to be open minded; but I wasn’t really digging how opinionated their code was to themselves. Thousands and thousands of devs built on top of each others JavaScript improvements for years, and then Astro comes along and decides that us developers need to learn a new “.astro” syntax as well.

Imagine if Tailwind or Laravel forced you into funky .tailwind/.laravel named files because they felt a certain way about their name.

I took this as a sign that Astro might become a very money hunger shark at the first drop of blood like other popular CMS providers have done in recent memory.

I’m working on a free open source side project now for fun with the goal of helping more people create and own their own content online, without paying an arm and a leg for it.

I’d love more support and feedback if anyone has any to give :)

If you feel that developers need an open and extensible product for creating content, please give me a star, and open some PR’s and issues.

> The goal is not launches at the same price SpaceX charges.

That's a rationalization.

When the Ariane 5 was ruling the roost, ArianeSpace absolutely wanted to maintain their market position.

It's only after they've given up on that goal that the talking points have changed to "independent access to space".

> SpaceX is the furthest from what can be described as reliable.

Lol. The Falcon 9 has the longest streak of successful launches of any rocket in history.
Well, that is indeed so; there are easily 15k+ crms out there to. So when they checked the top 10 on google and didn’t find a fit, people often just think ‘wow, there is a hole in the market’ or ‘we need a custom solution as nothing fits’ and build one. In London alone, I know over 100 crm implementations, most are internal, some saas, but all doing the same thing.
hmmm true. I also saw a post from California posted by a guy from New York here on Hacker News.... no one believed me when I pointed to the obvious

I would say that's not being able to rollback to a last-known-good snapshot-of-the-world a feature, not a bug.

A major premise of cloud computing is that everything is disposable.

Consequently, this is meant to encourage consumers to express as much of their system's configuration with code and automation as possible.

For example: the change to the S3 bucket policy that you mentioned would, theoretically, be done by changing the policy doc in Terraform and reapplying the Terraform configuration.

Modification to those policies would, theoretically, only be allowed by anyone with the "AdministratorAccess" role, which would only be provided to the IAM user running Terraform (via temporary STS tokens) or admins through some sort of a "oh-shit" process.

This comment echoes a lot of the sentiments I'm seeing in this thread. I have to wonder if holding the proverbial gun to the head of the world around you, ready to pull the trigger at any well-timed injustice, paying lip service to the destruction of private property in spite of the authoritarian sentiments it fosters, and generally thumbing one's nose at the idea that it's entirely possible that neither the police nor the rioters are in the right, is the intellectually-honest approach?
The main point of this article has been pointed out before and is hardly novel or original. The earliest I know of is Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death from 1985, but unlikely to be the first.

> mere economical reasons

Why mere?

Can one afford to be uneconomical?

Do constraints not matter?

Personally one of my definitions of good engineering is making "good compromises" between different needs.
The usual term for that is 'source available.'

'Open source' generally gets read to mean 'available under an OSI or OSI-like license', and 'free software' as 'available under the GPL or a GPL-like license' IME - if the license is commercial only but the code's still freely -readable- albeit not freely -runnable- then 'source available' is clearer.

(note that sqs clarifies elsewhere in the thread that 'open source' was being used to refer to the stuff that's (still) Apache 2 licensed, not the source available parts)
> It is easier to follow orders than it is to determine what the orders ought to be. How does one determine the orders?

This is true when you are given orders of exactly the right specificity, and at no other time. In my experience, most orders are either so vague as to barely be orders while also obscuring all context necessary to determine what the requirements might be ("implement tagging") or so specific that they are a death march and probably won't work anyway ("Here is a UML class diagram. All you have to do is turn it into working C++ code.").

In my opinion, any worldview or theory resting on the assumption that the people giving orders have it harder than the people following them is wrong until proven otherwise. It's very plain to anyone with real experience that the reason everybody wants to be a General is /because it's easier than being a Private/.
MariaDB sent dollar dip warning from NYSE
He suggests we should increase the number of spots at top schools. Perhaps. But I’m reading “End Times” by Turchin and this suggests “elite overproduction” is a major source of cultural instability. Maybe that’s wrong, but if so it would add an important reason to instead focus on the well being of “the productive class”, perhaps through expanding trade schools etc.
I was also never that big of a Twitter user, and it's my observation that my former Twitter-using acquaintances bemoan that Twitter's use as a social space has pretty much died. They still use it, but only as a glorified RSS feed.

Most of them don't like Mastodon either due to not liking defederation drama, but instead they moved their socializing to Discord and Instagram, with a few chomping at the bit to get into BlueSky.

For what it's worth, this is a trend I observed long before Twitter introduced rate-limiting and the login gate, it just made it much worse. Ironically, clicking through on Twitter links other people posted was the one use case I ever visited the site for, and now that that doesn't work I simply rely on the vxtwitter summary or a screenshot.

That's an interesting perspective. Was the shell intended to be a glorified word processor, with tools like sort, uniq, wc? In a documentary from the early 1980s, Kernighan also demonstrates this as a "killer" feature of Unix:

The plans for the Long March 9 change every year or so. The last time they published a design, it was a Saturn V semi-clone (with many more 1st stage engines).

I'll take the Long March 9 seriously when they start showing off actual hardware.
No, the installing an authoritarian regime is taking control of public communications for everyone to stop rioters.

The author has a point about broad access to education and its effects on mobility, but overlooks something vital: to be in the ruling class, entry into these schools is very important. All but one of the members of the current Supreme Court went Ivy (and nearly all in the 20th century before), and while Congress is more diverse when it comes to undergrad (it would be very interesting to see grad school data), 5 of the top 7 are Ivies[0]. I bet you'd see the same with CEOs.

You could argue that it is a reflection on the already rich getting in (although you would overlook those like Thomas, who grew up very poor), but that is also part of the problem. Many times these schools are finishing schools, which prepare their students to take their places as Masters of the Universe.

My guess would be you have some kind of safety net by having a company to turn to in case of issues, you probably can request new features, you may have better performances (since the implementation is different) etc...

Not saying what is best/worst, it's mostly a matter of opinion / contracts in the end.

My immediate thought was that it looked like self-promotion. That is my bias and this supports it a little.

I'm 50/50 whether it actually is though. Like I say, a little suspicious. Nothing more.
Yes.

Open source is supposed to be merit-driven, not hype-driven and resorting to dirty tricks like these.

I wouldn't single out the JS community is the only one affected by it. To name just two examples outside JS, I blame pipenv authors for the same truth stretchi, and if you look at the current hype around open source AI libraries, there's a lot of it going on as well.
They're trying to make their problem yours. If they can't stop caring about pointless things, it's their problem, not yours.
It is dishonest to claim the decision could have been reverted in the last 3 months. They were in no shape to be kept running. First of all, the fuel rods were spent and would have to be ordered and would have had long delivery times.
But the biggest concern would have been maintenance. The maintenance schedule was of course planned with the scheduled shut-down in mind. So a lot of maintenance and refurbishment would have had to be done. So we are talking about a possible several-year downtime at least. Which makes the whole idea very questionable.

If a prolonging the life-time of the reactors would have been desired, the previous government should have done it. Then the necessary steps could have been done without a long downtime. And mind you: they were shut down so early because the previous government hat decided to do so. The initial plan allowed for much longer run times.
>” Do people ever call you privileged? A common response I see to experiments like yours is that "it must be nice to be able to not care".”

That was just a signal to start the fun, it could have been anything else.

>> wireless was a serious alternative that wasn’t that far away

But it really isn't. There are hard physics limits on how much data can be transmitted within a given frequency band. Fiber total theoretical bandwidth is is essentially infinite in comparison. All the traffic of the entire internet could probably flow through a single fiber bundle perhaps less than a meter wide. For things like streaming 4k/8k/12k (real 4/8/12k) to multiple devices, wifi will never compete with fixed lines.
Well, "constraint" is a very abstract word. What you're describing are still constraints, they're just complex constraints.

The type vs. no type argument is basically: what's the cutoff line for constraints that are worth encoding as types or not?
The very reason why libraries like Lexical & ProseMirror exist, is because it's painful to work with contenteditable APIs.

And even with those libraries, try implementing features like multi-columns and cross-block selections.

And the most important problem: try implementing a pure HTML editor using ProseMirror / Lexical - i.e the editor should accept HTML exactly as it is, from arbitrary sources, like how contenteditable accepts. (You can't)

Those libraries depend on tightly controlling what goes into the editor, which is an amazing trade-off if you are building a tightly controlled editor. But good luck, building an email editor that accepts any wild HTML.

Radioactive Fictions: Marie Corelli and the Omnipotence of Thoughts
Some parts of a web browser are generally useful for applications. The APIs that control how the application interfaces with the host operating system, security, networking, etc. But the parts of a browser that deal with actual content are often problematic.

As a casual user of HTML and CSS, I'm often struck by how stupid the layout controls are. How very simple things ("centering text") are often confusing and difficult. And it's striking how these layout and content limitations make it necessary to add layer after layer of complexity (mostly in the form of JavaScript and CSS) in order for anyone to make a "modern" web page successfully. Whereas older applications that are not "web-based" allow any casual user to create rich document presentation just by pointing and clicking.

The Web today is like an Indy 500 race car with foot petals. I think we need to consider the future and how we want computers to work, and start moving towards that, rather than perpetually carrying forward the status quo.

> Why do you need to have a constant "perception" of government outside of election day?

Election day is the least significant day in politics. It is merely the hiring process, and who you hire doesn't matter all that much (within reason). Your actual job as the employer starts after you have selected an employee. The onus is on you to direct and guide the employee you selected. If you don't know what is needed for your organization on an ongoing basis, how can you serve as their boss?

Or, of course, you can pray that you chose a mind reader and ignoring them will lead to satisfactory results. However, I think all employers will tell you that if you disappear into the night and leave employees to their own devices, you won't be impressed with the results.

> Outside of elections you are pretty impotent as an individual.

Being the boss in general leaves you pretty impotent, frankly. This is as true in government as it is in enterprise. Employees aren't robots. It takes an incredible amount of work to keep the workers aligned on the vision, and against competing leadership interests.

But it is not impossible to overcome. In fact, the wealthy among us who feel they don't have time to be the boss directly will hire other parties (a.k.a. lobbyists) to guide the workers for them. If the employees cannot be tamed, that practice would not take place. Of course, like everything in life, if you are not so well off you're going to have to do the work yourself.

Nobody ever said that democracy was easy. There is good reason why some people in the world stand by other political systems – because they don't want to put in the hard, hard work of democracy. But if democracy is the system you and your fellow neighbours have chosen, it is the one you have to accept, hard work and all.
Story time. At ActiveState, my colleague and I - both fresh out of school - were tasked with building a regular expression debugger for the Komodo editor. We hired the legendary Perl guru Mark Jason Dominus to hack some hooks into Perl’s regex engine and then by exposing these hooks to the UI, we allowed users to watch the execution of their regexes step by step.

These days, various web-based tools offer superior functionality. But in 2001, Komodo’s Rx Debugger was absolutely state of the art and so much fun to work on.
