It's fine to not like DRM. It's another thing to spread FUD and appeal to emotions.
"That means they can't be shipped from a centrally-located factory to their final destinations."

There are modular homes that are shipped on highways, usually in sections.

While everyone is welcome to their opinion...

1. Shouldn't we aspire to let the community themselves decide if their passions would be furthered by a recognizable visual identity, and not impose our perspective on them in a patronizing way?

2. Your statement mostly conveys that you haven't learned much about the power of branding in general. A logo is not a brand, but often stands as the most recognizable avatar of a brand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO4te2QNsHY

It's nearly impossible to develop a healthy brand that doesn't have a recognizable logo. And you need a healthy brand to be successful in marketing that brand.

I happen to believe that OSS contributors deserve to see that their projects put their best foot forward so that as many people can benefit as possible. Since I know Tim O'Reilly wants this as well, hopefully he'll be happy to sign off on this request.
Do you have a source on that? We have been in an ice age for roughly the past million years. Pretty sure it was warmer in almost every other era prior.
you are probably talking about C++ vs pascal. But you should be talking C.

I'm having flashbacks to a famous decades old climate denialism talking point heavily pushed by the Koch pro oil media think tanks.

One so famous that it was studied in depth by a prominent US physics professor [1] and (then) climate skeptic using some Koch funding.

The results of the 2013 Berkeley Earth land temperature data analysis on urban heat islands answers your concerns:

When we began our study, we felt that skeptics had raised legitimate issues, and we didn't know what we'd find. Our results turned out to be close to those published by prior groups. We think that means that those groups had truly been very careful in their work, despite their inability to convince some skeptics of that. They managed to avoid bias in their data selection, homogenization and other corrections.

Global warming is real. Perhaps our results will help cool this portion of the climate debate. How much of the warming is due to humans and what will be the likely effects? We made no independent assessment of that. [1]

and

The Berkeley Earth group concluded that the warming trend is real, that over the past 50 years (between the decades of the 1950s and 2000s) the land surface warmed by 0.91±0.05 °C, and their results mirror those obtained from earlier studies carried out by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Hadley Centre, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) Surface Temperature Analysis, and the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia.

The study also found that the urban heat island effect and poor station quality did not bias the results obtained from these earlier studies. [2]

Most techy people I know are holding out for an invite code. I'd like to think Bluesky is trying to do it right and thinking in the long term.
Now with LLMs to reduce feature discovery pain there is less of an excuse!

Edit: this applies to
any language not just Perl. I use it to learn Python things I would otherwise miss.
And it’s less hot now than the last few years where I live

That's not how it works.

CNN though, I agree, it's complete trash but climate change is not a "psy op".

no, almost whenever you look at them. it is very hard to carry around the size of an array in C.

I think this, like many cases, was a perfect storm of lack of information, good intentions and individual profit mongering. Medical masks have proven overwhelmingly effective in stopping the spread of airborne diseases like COVID.

Knit/cloth masks however barely did a thing. We were in a situation where we heard wearing masks was beneficial, and often times required in certain areas, but no restrictions around the _type_ of mask worn. In fact with the supply chain issues that were being faced the majority were unable to acquire N95/KN95 masks during critical periods.

Regardless I’m not going to ever look down upon people who did what they thought best in trying to stop a pandemic.
No, I pointed out that Goodreads' Otis Chandler and Elizabeth Khuri did not go anywhere after the 2013 acquisition. They stayed, for years. Khuri is still there; Chandler continued as Goodreads' CEO till 2019.

I was surprised neither of them left sooner than that to do anything new, in any sector.
My use case for Pocket is completely different from the author’s.

I use it every day to get web content onto a Kobo ereader. It strips ads and often gets stuff behind paywalls.

My family shares the same pocket account and we often end up discussing things that get synced to all the kobos in the house.

This functionality is so useful and seems like a well kept secret. If it went away I’d really be upset.
That's not the problem for something in the blog/message board/social network space. The problem is the ability to generate huge numbers of fake identities and spam. You can make all the Etherium wallets you want.

This is the standard spam problem.
It strikes me that concerns with “sustainability” like this may be a bit passé given the population of humans is very likely to peak, and decline soon. That solves myriad problems.
Sounds like you were also replaced by Perl.

I don't think I need to convince them because they're not adopting it. So no, I don't expect this to have actual users in 6 months, let alone 5 years.
I use Perl scripts dozens of times a day but I rarely write new code in it. awk and sed I use less often but it’s almost always ad hoc new scripts.
I once went looking for something like Ansible that was implemented in Perl. Does such a thing exist? I think declarative system orchestration got popular well after perl's popularity declined. In any case, I did not find anything.
Unix was always about tools doing one thing. Obviously awk and sed didn’t do one thing only, but Perl broke away from that entirely. Perl tried to replace awk, sed, and the shell all at once.

The problem with Perl is it was still tied to Unix culture to compete with Python and it’s strong library set, so it was pretty much fazed out as an awkward intermediary.
I see the AR usecase as being a huge potential win in the inspection process. Instead of inspectors having to drive site to site, just give them a tour. You could probably pull up permit/schematic/etc info as you're viewing the property and stuff. But I assume something like this already exists.
no, c and c++ have basically similar rules for the scope of variables, with the regard to braces

Units give you a specific problem decomposition.

Unit tests just help to make sure that the units you have right now are doing their jobs. Obviously if you change what units you have or how responsibilities are allocated among them then you will need corresponding changes in the unit tests.
This is an issue with DRM in general.

I think my issue with the comment I replied to was the appeal to emotion while saying nothing specific about Denuvo.

I feel the ship has sailed on DRM, and that the solution to people feeling slighted because something they purchased contained DRM without them knowing will be stores listing DRM a game uses, not stopping the use of it.
That's not what the data says. The total leaf area has increased by 25 to 30%. And there has been no drop in global precipitation.

What if you built a scoring system for re-usable action sequences that are stored in a database, and then have the LLM generate alternate solutions and grade them according to their performance?

An action sequence of steps could be graded according to whether it was successful, it’s speed, efficiency, cleverness, cost, etc.

You could even introduce human feedback into the process, and pay people for proposing successful and efficient action sequences.

All action sequences would be indexed and the AI agent would be able to query the database to find effective action sequences to chain together.

The more money you throw at generating, iterating, and evolving various action sequences stored in your database, the smarter and more effective your AI agent becomes.
I don't believe contracting of any type us needed for a feature factory. It is more when product and project managers hijack the roadmap (or even create a roadmap at all) and then March along adding things for the sake of delivering story points, and the "it was _my_ team and _my_ vision that built this", rather than building on others work.

I think a good D&D analogy is your group needs a fighter. Instead of leveling up your decent level 6 fighter to level 7,8 and 9, instead you start multi classing, picking up some droid abilities cause, hey, surely it's cool

Regardless, here is something that describes feature factory in more detail: https://www.productplan.com/glossary/feature-factory/

A huge part of feature factory, worth mentioning, is any lack of checking (let alone measuring), did we build the right thing?
I opened this thinking I was the target audience - a longtime developer who has always wanted to get into electronics. However, this first paragraph...

> In order to present our paradigm in learning electronics, we can take an example of a full adder chip
that enables binary addition. Let us use a top-down approach, and look at the datasheet of the TTL
(Transistor-Transistor Logic) chip 7483. We will immediately notice that the chip performs the addition of
two 4-bit binary words, A and B.

...and the associated diagram, just immediately left me feeling like I was standing in a room full of people who were smarter than me. Is this really where one starts while learning basic electronics?
My livelihood depends on a large set of Perl scripts, and I bet I'm not the only one in that position. It's perfect for gluing things together and then not breaking for decades, while other languages come and go. It's kind of the new COBOL that way.

The only thing that Google Sheets has in their favor, is their JavaScript API to interact with the sheets.

But even that is fairly slow compared to any scripting done in Excel.
Who knows… unlearning might turn out be good as a “sleep” phase while learning too. Sort of a regularisation. Could be done after each epoch.
Re: tags

> It takes me 45 seconds just to scroll from the top of the list to the end on the Android app.

There's the problem with over classification. Having had the same problem, I've reduced the tags to around 10 which is also a bit too much. Sometimes I think 3 should be enough: low, medium and high priority.
I bet you $1000 USD you're wrong.
Wow, the cargo cult science here is beyond surreal. Absolutely speechless.

Getting people to come over to BlueSky is like trying to convince your normie friends to switch to Linux because it's built on software freedom. It isn't going to happen.
G+ felt pretty dead and lifeless when I joined during beta. It’s major innovation was “circles” - tools to share to a smaller percentage of your contacts.

Bluesky does not feel dead or lifeless, it’s much more lively than Mastodon because it isn’t fragmented by default, and the user-designed feed algorithms are a cool way to discover new conversations.
I just use OneNote.
why read new books, we have plenty of old ones. those authors could be slaving away for the planet
For a developer already satisfied with a mature backend framework such as Django or Rails but hesitant to embrace the ever-changing JS ecosystem on the backend, it makes sense to view HTMX as an alternative to React/Vue/Svelte/etc.

Given this, it makes sense to me that HTMX is popular amongst Django developers especially.
I got three BlueSky invite codes, in case anybody wants em:

Edit: All gone, thanks for playing!
normal javascript functions that htmx would just call:

<button hx-post="/api/data" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-trigger="click" hx-ext="localStorageHandler">Save Data</button>

<script>
function localStorageHandler(element) {
// Get the input value
const inputValue = document.getElementById('inputField').value;

// Save the value to localStorage
localStorage.setItem('myData', inputValue);
}

</script>
I say "often substandard".... because, honestly, it just is. For example, breaking long logging lines into multiple lines decreases readability, but the formatter doesn't care because it only sees the max. line length and that's it.
Same with breaking long function definitions: it doesn't consider what makes sense or what is readable, it just messes the code up. Similarly, some projects differentiate between single and double quotes (e.g. single quotes for data, double quotes for userstrings), and this just drives a tank over it.

Or completely disallow tabs, even when it's necessary for accessibility, like with screen readers (not even PEP8 enforces spaces, but black decides to without a configuration option)

Same with whitespace: it refuses you to add more than 1 (or 2, can't remember) empty lines inside a function, even when it would be more readable to space it out.

I heavily disagree with the assumption that consistency is better than readability. I believe that people can be civilised and not change each other's code just for the sake of formatting nitpicks, only when they actually edit the code.
It must have been so nice to experience the climate in the 1890s, imagine summers which were just nice and short, winters with beautiful, high quality and consistent snow falls and more permanently snow capped mountains.

It must've been quite a beautiful time witness.
Teslas as late as the 2020 Model X have no inside-facing camera. I wonder if it's easier to defeat.
No need to predict this. Greenhouse experiments are conducted regularly with these conditions. There's plenty of data on it.

> While some servers are directly accessible, some are not. We need to do tunneling for it.

BTW, you can set tunneling in your ~/.ssh/config, so that you do `ssh <server>` and it connects automagically.

(I know this is not what you asked, but I hope it helps)
I said nobody is going to take Caltrain from the airport to Moscone. In fact I looked at three hotels near SFO and they all offer shuttles to SFO but not to Millbrae. Who's talking about downtown? I have no idea what you're on about.
DRM also prevents users from doing legal things. Such as making copies for personal use, which is legal in France. Or when done by library or archive, in the US. Or copying short clips, which is legal as "fair use" in many jurisdictions.
Climate change is THE psy op. I know a thing or two about it. I myself was in the climate change camp/cult for a while. The hot weather this summer is driven primarily by the El Nino which is a natural cycle. So yes, we’ll have weird and in some places (especially densely populated cities) hot weather for about 2-5 years, but then I predict temperature will go down.

Greenhouse effect is a third order effect, maybe a second order, but that’s a huge stretch. I am being generous.

Edit: I don’t like being robbed on the ability to reply and being gaslit at the same time. “You posting too fast, slow down, thanks” my ass. If anything, it just gives me more reason to believe that there’s a narrative and any and all dissenting voices are being supressed. Under fair conditions, I’d debate anyone on this subject because as I have said previously, I can see through the bullshit. Consider this my last comment on this subject. I now have to go and save the planet from more psyops, like the war in Ukraine is not a proxy war and was unprovoked. Bye!

I’m trying to push it for enterprise internal apps that do a lot of crud operations along with SQLite. It’s really only a hunch at this point, but I’m guessing it will let my mostly back-end oriented dev team more comfortably deliver web app functionality.
I think this is just accommodating anti-social behaviour, IMO. I think the correct choice of action is simply rooting the problem out by penalising comments about style on code review, so they focus on the substance of the code instead. Yes, this will require a period of uncomfortability while everyone gets used to each other's varied code styles, but it promotes a much more healthier atmosphere than the "suck it up" approach of unifying all code. That doesn't solve the problem, that just masks it by putting the code through a shredder so style gets lost.
Agreed. It reads like they opened the fridge for awhile to remove the cardboard and that cooled the room down. Problem being that the fridge will then heat the room more to cool itself back down.
The "advice" coming from these professors of education to state governments should be what is giving you a giant red flag. Reducing quality of education by lowering standards, and lying about the data, shows that it is not driven by science.

My opinion on this: the "education" establishment in the US is driven by people looking for consulting fees, as shown by someone in this post linking to Dr Boaler's absurd consulting fees.

Math standards are being dropped in the US, and the fight is coming from your colleagues. Reading is taught incorrectly and has been for decades as shown by dropping phonics based education and using "whole word association". Chinese mathematics education is several years ahead of American education, and the professors and educators are debating on if they should make American students unable to take Algebra in middle school, despite numerous countries learning algebra years before that.
by saving things for later you mean that a site copy is stored somewhere, so you could find it again years later?
> Immutable transaction history is stupid because it enshrines bad transactions as absolute fact

It prevent some entity arbitrarily deciding which transactions are deemed bad

> The transaction times make legitimate transactions inconvenient or impossible

I'm guessing all you know is Bitcoin 10min block times, that's ancient tech and the industry has moved past that. Transactions confirm in seconds, and near instant on rollups

> The gas fees are unconscionable in how large they can inflate and how rapidly they shift

Again, rollups are cheap and only getting cheaper (should be 1/100th progressively over the next 2 years)

> Proof of Stake is designed to entrench the power of early movers by ensuring marginal rewards go to those with more

This is a fallacy and has been debunked time and time again
Weird, I have never intentionally used Perl. Still use awk and sed.
And cPanel (used by many web hosts)?
I’d love to eventually settle into retirement by maintaining some unloved Perl.
I make money off "old" systems; I'm spending time with Perl too. Lots of legacy systems out there.
There was no fridge in that room. So guess again.

Or, you know, try it in your space and supply counter data to mine. It was measured with a thermometer.
It's not "cnn". This has been widely reported by diverse scientific groups. Countless sources.

And it doesn't matter what the weather is like where you are. We're talking climate here - broad trends over broad areas, over time.

Truly, if some folks don't understand climate change at this point, and fall back to psyops and similar nonsense, there isn't much that can be done for them.
Code style: Use an opinionated style and formatter like black, rustfmt, etc. Add it to continuous integration. Never discuss styling again.
