I guess my question would be why we feel like we must live in a society where we have to beg an elite cadre of distant "representatives" to do anything.

I've been consistently reminded my entire life that if we don't do this society will immediately collapse into a steaming pile of anarchism. It leaves me wondering why so many complain about the yoke if they asked for it.

Also, I use the royal "we" here because I certainly feel no affinity to any of the political behemoths in charge. I would much prefer to live in a world where these assholes acted more like consultants than tyrants.
It's hard to maintain and read. There you go.

I'm not a huge fan of lisp, but I do like the language. Unfortunately, it's way too hard on 90% of the developers. They need some more structure so they can think about one thing at a time, which is why C-like syntax won in the end.

All the best developers I know are into Lisp or Haskell (or both). They can crank out ridiculous code which then goes unused because maintenance would be too much of a burden. Sometimes I write some really complex one-liners (which are like 5-10 lines long) to do some tasks using all the possible hacks to avoid having to type an extra character. I might be able to do that, but most developers wouldn't be able to see how the data get transformed and keep all of that in their mind. Whatever I wrote is unmaintainable by most people.

The reality is that the majority of people can't grasp their mind around complex concepts. Which is ok, most developers write a few API endpoints and some UI components, they don't need much to create value.

We can get some good concepts from the functional world and transfer them to C-like syntax languages though. We can even have some of the programmability of Lisp (but not all of it) via macros.
I don't think the problem is ignorance, but different motivations. Executive leadership often wants to maximize profit and growth. Everybody else [generally] wants to maximize the company's performance at what it does. In an ideal world the two should be pretty much the same thing, in reality they're often very disconnected, especially in any product that is offered for free. Free products completely distort normal operations because the customer is no longer the customer, but something closer to the product itself - as that's what's "really" sold.

So it seems that any solution would require having executive leadership not driven by growth+profit, or removing the disconnect between "quality" and growth+profit.
I literally don't have to do any of that if I just install PostgreSQL the normal way as the confirmation file is in the same place the documentation for PostgreSQL says it is in, the daemon is probably already running, and all of the tools know how to find the local domain socket. Why am I having to configure all of this stuff manually in some new "compose file"? Oh, right: because I am now using a container.
Besides what ehnto has said, I also believe you're only partly correct about the manual process intensive jobs. What you're correct about are the jobs linked to culture and tradition. For example manga, soba noodles, bonsai trees, ink making or woodworking. But they are absolutely replacing whole sectors of manual jobs with machines, ones they don't seem to value to protect. Like retail, they're the absolute leaders in vending machines and attendless brick&mortar shops. Or automaking and electronics.

I assume that, at least in my setup (using babel-python), the kernel is invoked synchronously.

Theres a lot of work thats gone into Qemu to emulate the different processors, question is have they found undocumented features of cpu's when trying to emulate them?
> Most Chromebooks themselves don't have a TPM

Citation needed. I'm pretty sure all Chromebooks have a TPM and it's a firm requirement for making one. ChromeOS uses the TPM extensively and fully supports remote attestation:

https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/tpm-usa...

TPMs have been a requirement on PCs since at least 2016 I think, and in reality most came with them before that too (but there's a v1 vs v2 difference).

> a 1.X version of the TPM. In theory it performs just as well as TPM 2.X but they will not be supported because, again, I will not be able to use my own keys.

This is all wrong. TPM 1.2 uses SHA1 for everything which is a broken hash function so there is a major difference in robustness between them. That's why TPM 1.2 is being phased out. It has nothing to do with "using your own keys" which is out of the domain of what TPMs do anyway, TPMs are always owned by the device user. You're thinking of firmware boot signing and other things that are separate to the TPM chip but even there, you can use your own signing keys.

>it's understandable that developing countries want to develop further; they should be assisted so that development is as sustainable as possible, for their own sake, but also for humanity and the planet as a whole.

I wholeheartedly agree, but more often than not these countries do not have the technology available or it costs more than older tech. Either they should be allowed to pollute with the old tech and "we" must pollute less to make it up or "we" must pay for/give the technology for free to countries that doesn't have access to it. We could even build it (with no strings attached of course).

Pointing fingers at -for example- China or India because of coal power plants while they are struggling to lift millions out of poverty is not helping anyone. In my opinion it is shut up or pay the bill. That includes North Korea, Iran, etc. and as long as we don't do this we have zero rights to criticise.

Quite the opposite of that, IMHO. I would regard my having children as both the most challenging and most fulfilling thing I ever did in my life - way above what I thought would take that spot for me (things like business ventures, career, adventures, extreme endeavors and achievements).
> If it ever turns out the Wikipedia needs your money urgently to keep the servers running, start giving to them again.

If they run out of money to run the servers, I'd consider that a good thing.

Someone can start a new "wiki-2" project, starting out with a wikipedia dump as a base, and continuing to be a free encyclopaedia that anyone can edit, but without the $150 million dollars of expenses - I think you could host wikipedia with 2 members of staff and 5 servers, plus cloudflare for the 99% of read-only requests - similar to how they ran it at the start of the project.

This board tends towards believing in democracy yet we spend half+ of our waking hours existing within non-democratic institutions…they’re not even representative republics, the thing we pass off as pro-democracy today.

If we want it, we have to build it, we have to build safe-guards, and we have to stand by and not loot as much money as possible when the time presents.

We have so far shown we are collectively not capable of doing these things.

Are there any multi-billion dollar organizations that work on the principles we so desire in our own government? Maybe democracy is just a joke and a sentiment for feel-good buy-in from the masses.

Hi Zeno, great project, impressive seeders.
I want to use Resend but get puzzled how to co-exist with sales reps:

1) I am a developer in a startup, I can figure out how to create React email templates.

2) I can create several initial email templates in React.

3) My colleagues are sales, they cannot code in React but they do need to adjust templates time to time (either the template itself or a one-off instance with adjustments to personalize/provide-order-specific-custom-details)

4) obviously sales are not going to edit React code in VSCode and I cannot get rid of sales reps so we need to co-exist and use the same emailing platform. I don't want to do the adjustments for sales reps but rather enable them adjust templates themselves.

What is the best way to enable sales reps to adjust existing email templates?

But don't feel too bad, everyone is doing it these days, even the educated ones.
This is wrong because no one knows how things will play out. How sure you are is not so important as everyone is sure with their prediction.
Right now UFO is still a 'strong' prediction, many scientists who are getting into bed with this and commenting on it being convincing are problematic to begin with, like michio kaku (a bestselling author who is still describing himself as a string theorist, still, a dead end and biggest waste of effort in physics). I'm gonna stick to the null hypothesis for now.

The problem is ambitious management on all levels. When you're running a billion dollar business, you can extract far better compensation (base, bonus, stock options) than if you're running a hundred million dollar business.

The obvious solution is a compensation cap, not just because CEO comp has exploded while lower rung compensation has virtually stagnated, but also because it might put an end to the constant drive of companies to just gobble up competitors.

This also mean that maybe Chinese or other Asiatic people could have reached the (north) America before Europeans. Interesting.
Listen, I've been on many sides: Lisp stuff, Python stuff, C stuff, etc. I don't think that "something has to be learned". Lisp has many good ideas, Python has good ideas. But REPL-driven development is not one of them. But let me explain.

You see, it's not about how REPL in Python just does not allow something (even though it is rather primitive). Python makes it superhard to tweak things, even if you can change a certain variable in memory. Here's why.

Think about Lisp programs, including OOP flavours. These fundamentally consist of 2 things: a list of functions + a list a variables. If you replace a function or a variable then every call will go through it. And that's it. You change a function - all calls to it will be routed through the new implementation. Because of REPL-centric culture of things people really do organise their programs around this style of development.

Python was developed with an dynamic OOP idea in mind where everything is an object, everything is a reference. Endless references to references of references to references. It's a massive graph, including methods and functions and objects and classes and metaclasses. There is no single list of functions where you can just replace this name-to-implementation mapping.

TL;DR Replacing a single reference doesn't change much in the general case. It does work in some cases. But that's not enough for people to rely on it as main development driver.

Python fundamentally makes a different tradeoff than your average lisp.
....I can tell you which ones are used by the current linker on the system in what order.

ldconfig -p | grep libfoobar

If you go and spread the linkers all over hither and yon and make it nigh impossible to get results out of them, or don't bother to keep track of where you put things... Welp. Can't help ya there. Shoulda been tracking that all along.

Oh, excuse me... That'll only work for dynamically built things in the abscence of statically linked stuff or clever LD_PRELOAD shenanigans.

Hope ya don't do that.

Fact is. You're really never going to get away from keeping track of all the moving pieces.
You're just shuffling complexity and layers of abstraction around.
I agree. Real question: What do people need gigabit internet for today? 4K UHD streaming video needs 25-50Mbps. I have been living off 100Mbps internet connection for more than a decade, and I feel no need to upgrade. To be fair, maybe gamers need super faster connections for lower latency, or game downloads.
so is this an abstraction layer? who maintains the abstraction layer?
Many (Most) of the rivers and lakes are swimmable in Switzerland, the standards for water are incredibly high, more dangerous is not knowing the currents.

You are correct, a lot of forces are canceling out on the long term(instead of instantaneously) it can easily be manipulated into increasing periods of unbalance in one direction until a point is reached then a separate mechanism is used to force it to a balanced state. Conservation of energy is always in effect. Gyroscope effects that bike wheels can be added with other separate gyroscopes. Thus, a self righting bike. The effect called precession is understood well enough.

How a human is able to manipulate it is simply by using the force of gravity from shifting their weight(moving the center of gravity). However, the movement of the center of gravity has to be perpendicular to the wheels axle. The steeper the angle of attack the wheel has to the ground, there will need to be an exponential increase in distance to move the center of gravity. Once the wheel is parallel to the ground, there will be an undefined distance needed to move the center of gravity.
We had no such option. $20/ticket.
Not bad, but build should default to release, and dev builds should be opt-in. You should never accidentally test against a non-production build.
No, it doesn't count, as the Prius in 1997 was entirely powered by petrol.

I’m not a JavaScript developer, but I can tell if a JS dev is bullshitting or if they know their stuff.

The author has enough relevant experience to be able to safely conclude a similar thing. They are honest that they won’t spot minor issues, but my takeaway from this article is that the original paper authors are not cowboys or bullshitters, and they have a chance at a real finding, subject to regular research bugs.

That’s good enough to be worth an article!

That's a bit of a strawman since I don't compare the three. I only compare Firefox and Brave. Of course Google is collecting the most data out of those and the tracking is worse, especially since they have other data points to compare it with.

However, according to my logic using Brave + Firefox simply must cause more data to be collected than using only one of the two, no?

This dialogue is reminiscent of rec.bycycles.tech arguments with Jobst, ca 1993.

A bike wheel is a linear elastic system, that can be thought of as a superposition of a uniformly set of tensioned spokes as one state, and a set of spokes in compression in the loaded zone (bottom of the wheel) as the other state. So long as the superposition of the two states obeys the limiting conditions (i.e. spokes in tension) they can be analysed separately.

The size of the loaded zone is related to the relative stiffness of the spokes (axial) and the rim (bending), and can be calculated using beam on elastic foundation methods. For typical rim/spoke combinations, this is approximately 4 spokes.

Outside of the loaded zone, spoke tensions essentially don’t change.
