It's not just the US, but the intelligence agencies who for some reason are the people that ET has chosen to reach out to and have the sole evidence and knowledge of the extraterrestrials. You know, the people who lied to the world about the presence of WMDs in Iraq 15 years ago. They have received communication with ET nobody else has and they have evidence if we just trust them.

Yeah. Sure.
Is Musk a hypocrite? Sure, anybody who's been paying attention already knows this. It's completely unsurprising that he would grant himself special powers on the platform he owns.

Whether he actually did in this case hardly matters. Twitter/X is Musk's toy and he's going to play with it in whatever way pleases him.

One should already bake into their perception of Twitter/X an expectation that Musk will use it for his own ideological purposes, and weigh their trust in the platform accordingly.
Probably true. Porting rxv64 to RISC-V probably wouldn't be that big of a lift, honestly.

I see this in a lot of software. Any software person wants to solve a problem, but their solution becomes a part of their own ego such that in their mind it is the cornerstone of the entire business, whether that's true or not. However, the person they're solving it for just wants to get something done - they don't want software in their way. The best software should is as invisible to the end user as possible.

This sounds like a chunk of what I experience on a regular basis, used to be more intense (now in my 30’s).

I know many creatives/artists who harness such traits to their advantage. I suspect more people experience reality like this than would openly admit. This is what I understand as “privacy” in my own way.

ADHD was my diagnosis, what I learned is that for everyone with the disorder a completely different set of traits manifest themselves. Different experiences lead to different coping strategies, which in turn develop different personalities and values depending on the experiences with success/failures/traumas. Because of this treatments vary. For some it’s medication, for others it’s something else. Treatment is a big word too - what if along with the things you don’t like there are parts that make you who you are. You don’t want “treatment” to kill those off.
I wonder how many of these have realistic math in them, I suspect it'd be considerably shorter list.
Expo is the free and open source framework and, separately, Expo Application Services (EAS) is the SaaS. Expo and EAS are designed to be decoupled while also working well together, optionally.

The Expo framework gives you the module system, runtime environment, CLI tools, debugger, a suite of modules, navigation to build universal native apps. They're universal in that there is an Android build, an iOS build, and a web build, and, especially with Expo Router, they work together with universal links. They're native in that the user experience is native to the underlying platform, usually using system UI components and behaviors.

EAS provides hosted services for building your app, submitting it to the stores, and updating it. Many developers will use both EAS and their own hardware. It is convenient and fast to build locally when iterating on a feature. And it is convenient in a different way to use EAS to make preview builds of your app on your PRs that change your app's native code or to make release candidates for production.
Corn is a hot season grass: it likes growing in large fields with lots of other corn plans near it. Most home gardens are not large enough to grow good corn (you can grow it, but the corn will not do as well - this can still be good enough.) With sweet corn time from field table is critical to good flavor, so people do grow it in their garden anyway, but it would be better to live next door to a large corn farm that you get it from.

Yes. I know. And at this point for enterprise there is no reason to use MLS based solution for messaging. Or for software company to develop MLS based solution. Because it's just too complex for no obvious gain in security. Most of the enterprises/regulated industries/.govs simply do not need it. You can make much easier solutions.

> The world is constantly changing and evolving, and software has to keep up otherwise it'll become obsolete within couple of years.

There's some truth to this, but I think this factor is usually dramatically overstated. At least, most of the software I use doesn't need to constantly change. The majority of software updates I see are unnecessary, and many of them are undesirable.

The dirty secret is that you rarely need to invest in new, novel, software engineering techniques which is what you need actual software engineers for. In reality you can just get a few software developers to propose a design for a thing, have a software engineer consultant review the design and sign off, and then go on your merry way building the software. Kinda like how architecture/construction vs engineering works in meat space.

Google sells ads. They want to kill ad blockers. This is how.

Chasing diversions around in circles is not neutral. Someone wins by default. Diversions exist and they exist to tempt you into poor attention allocation decisions. This is not about safety, security, and providing an excellent experience. It's about ads and making sure you can't stop them.
Ballmer peak I guess. Only half joking. There’s definitely been times where I’m at home, have a few beers and the disinhibition gets to me to work on something I probably wouldn’t bother with otherwise. Never during work though, it would be too obvious.

Software has a somewhat inverse relationship to scale as manufacturing. For manufacturing the first one costs millions, and each one after costs hundreds for a time. As you get better you winnow away the equipment or maintenance costs and prices drop.

Software use cases experience combinatorics, and almost all useful algorithms have log(n) runtime. Even when Knuth says they are O(1), physics or EE say he’s wrong. There are no economies of scale. Racks don’t get cheaper when you run out of network ports. Cooling doesn’t get cheaper when you run out of roof. Things that failed one time in a million calls now happen every hour instead of twice a month, and actually have to be fixed.

It’s death by a million cuts.
There are apparently 2B English speakers in the world, so you could in principle get away with no internationalization and have 1B users. The other things are more a cost of operating a multi-national business, and not a marginal cost of the software as such. You could also in principle scale to ~300M users (or ~100M households) without worrying about international issues by sticking to the US only.
> is the problem that the slaves don't fight back?

no, the problem is, as Baldwin said, that it's a very bad novel. And he was black, if you weren't aware.

You're completely wrong about what serious writers (like Baldwin) want: it isn't to "grab their readers by the throat and drag them to the conclusion." That's what a pamphlet or editorial does. If you can state it in one sentence, you don't need a whole novel.

Tangentially, I've seen some weird stuff in the sky. I have a blog post on the back burner about how the habit of looking up into the sky has been rewarding to me, and the cool stuff I've seen.

Sometimes satellites have very strange motion relative to your position, similar to planets going retrograde. They can make "J" shapes that look very odd. The first time I noticed this, my friend and I followed it all the way to the penumbra and umbra of the Earth's shadow - it suddenly dimmed as it entered the penumbra, and then completely disappeared as it passed into the umbra. A sure sign of a satellite in orbit.

If you want to spot satellites, the best way I've found is to pick three random stars and imagine them as a triangle. Watch to see if the triangle changes shape - that means one of them is moving. It's very easy to get confused if you're looking at just one star, eg, sometimes the clouds are moving but you mistake the clouds as stationary and see the star as moving. But if you pick 3, even if you have that illusion, you'll see that they don't move relative to each other.

On two occasions - once in Berkeley, CA and once in Athens, Greece - I saw a red light moving through the sky, and I followed it as far as I could but I didn't see it enter the penumbra (which isn't to say it did or didn't, just that I lost sight of it). I just have no idea what that was, or if it was the same on both occasions.

One time my friends and I saw a flashing white light in the sky. It would rapidly increase from 0 to full brightness, and then just as quickly disappear. It stayed in roughly the same place. My friend had a good hypothesis, which was that it was a helicopter with some kind of rotating light.

I think my favorite is that once, I saw an airplane contrail collapse into a series of smoke rings. Contrails often form these clumps of cloud, sort of like rain drops. These ones must have been very circular, because each one became a giant ring.

You can see the clumps I'm talking about here: https://images.all-free-download.com/images/graphiclarge/con...

There's pictures of rings on image search, but it looks like they came from the plane's engine, not from the mechanism I describe.

I have very, very severe maladaptive daydreaming and it is absolutely a form of disassociation for me. I was abused as a child by my parents and underserved by schools - there was no way out so I learned how to entertain myself doing nothing because anything I did would be 'wrong' and punished.

As an adult it's pain coping - I have multiple sclerosis and of course I don't want to be present in my body: It HURTS here. I am also poor (see: disability) + in my 30s with no kids, so not much of a social life or benefit from being present.

I spend most/all of my time at least somewhat disassociated. It's my default state.

But interface updates do meaningfully help many people.

Most people in engineering roles think the job is done when the engineering is done, and the maintenance is unnecessary unless it's necessary for stability or security. That's not limited to software, either. The fact is, to the vast majority of non-developer software users, an improved workflow, more intuitive, or yes, even more attractive interface makes more of a difference than moderate performance upgrades or minor stability improvements.

To a developer, interfaces are a way to interact with with software, like an API for humans. To everyone else, the interface is the software. Old interfaces are as or more usable to you because you have a sophisticated mental model of software and a high tolerance for logical complexity. These dreaded designers' profession is figuring out how people who don't have those things can most easily solve their problem with the tool you built.

Car controls would look a lot different if the engineers maintained control over the available controls without designer input. They might intuitively understand that the array of controls that change fuel injection parameters should only be used in certain instances, but they liked having them right there just in case. When told that they'd just confuse average drivers and should probably be hidden, they might argue, "I explained to my 6 year old nephew how more or less air can affect engine preformance." Multiply that by the dozen internal systems they want to control or get real time data from. A designer world recognize that this would confuse most drivers for little benefit and hide everything but the things most drivers need to find and parse instantly... And they would be met with the same heavy sighs and eyerolls that software designers regularly get from developers.

Designers are in the organization because they can do things that developers can't. They make developers work vastly more useful to the world because the way someone solves their problem is as or more important than it being optimally solved using the smallest amount of available resources with 5 9s of reliability instead of 3.

And that's why, in the overwhelming majority of cases, end-user-facing commercial software with professionally designed UIs and someone looking at UX on a whole will dominate FOSS alternatives while tools targeted at developers and other technical people do as well or better, and the commercial equivalents.
