There's a lot of that happening in the Front Range (east side, not the Colorado). In addition to the mentioned benefits, beaver dams are also great at filtering debris from recent wildfires from continuing downstream.
It's a reason to not stop building. You have to start somewhere but you have to stay in that place. That's why you see successful public personalities diversify away from just the platform / schtick that got them started, they know that to succeed long term they need many ways to reach their audience or organize their community.

Let’s not leave out an important few words.
I think maybe you wouldn't even need to see the keystrokes. Given enough examples of just audio, I wonder if you could work out the keys using the statistical letter patterns in language.
Probably we can argue the rights and wrongs of individual cases, but surely now is the time for swinging wealth taxes. Clearly the system has got out of control, and everyday people are suffering while the rich lead gilded lives.

50% on everything over say 2MM, into a sovereign wealth fund. Prison for attempts at evasion.

Maybe next year we won't do another 50% on what they have left.
Probably something like The Odin Project's JS courses.
Right. The comment above is saying even if you are incorrect in 2-5 keystrokes it’s not hard to guess the correct keystrokes if you’re using a sentence style password.

You don’t need to guess every character.
>If you are running something worth over $1 trillion that makes hundreds of billions of dollars per year it makes sense though, right?

But he isn't running it. He has legal control over it, but in terms of sweat equity he only gets 24 hours in the day like everyone else and you can't tell me he somehow converts that to 1000x the labor of an average, capable, willing, working employee.
Looking good and great job! I noticed an errant apostrophe in the README: While the library is in it's early stages should read While the library is in its early stages Thanks for giving the world this!

This is private sharing, not a social network.

Private sharing is about sending content to people A, B, and C (“push”). Think iMessage, WhatsApp, Snapchat.

Social networks are about people discovering your content (“pull”). Think Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, Threads.

The two differ in important ways: dynamics of how they work, how they grow, what consumers care about in a product, what success looks like, tech stack, etc.

The author is conflating the two.
To only give up that position to functional programming?
Yes, although I could have just as easily said "low-level systems programming" as embedded. I try to keep in mind that when people say "embedded" they may mean anything from ARM Cortex M series to Raspberry Pi 4s.

Rust is really good when it is control of everything. I love Rust for communication stacks (USB, CANBUS, etc.). Bytes in/state in to bytes out/state out is right in its wheelhouse. Apparently Google agrees--their new Bluetooth stack (Gabeldorsche) is written in Rust. When Rust has this kind of clearly delineated interface, it's really wonderful.

However, Rust does not play well with others as my examples point out. To be fair, neither do many other languages (Hell, C++ doesn't play well with itself). However, that's going to be a disadvantage going forward as the future is polyglot.
> To fix a quarter-century-old monitor that was nothing special when it was new.

> Why? I mean, I wouldn't bother fixing the thing anyway, but hiring somebody is going to cost you more than a much better brand new monitor.

There are folks out there who spend their time fixing unexceptional cars such as old Ford Orions, Austin Metros, VW Golf Mk 3's (poverty spec) and so on. In their day these were the most boring of the mundane mass market motors you could buy.

But it's about capturing and snapshotting a point in time. Sure this particular monitor was probably crap, but combined with a same period Mac it's a time capsule.

You might think it's a waste of time, for others it's a hobby/past time. And it's one less thing in the landfill.
Yes, so are they abandoning them, or plan to pick them up and use them somewhere else?

Google as it grew basically had two tiers of outcomes for insiders. The inner circle of insiders like Sundar and Susan had Google grow “under” them so they stayed near the top. A lot of this inner circle has either retired or left, isn’t fit to run the company (some of the purely technical folks) because of their skills, or was forced out because they did bad controversial things (there’s a joke that Sundar won by default because he was the only one that didn’t try to dip his pen in company ink).

The other early employees and insiders got layered with outside middle management as Google grew.

Since Google is basically controlled by the founders still there are actually very few people left who are qualified on paper to run the company, already work at Google, and have the trust of founders. Now I’m not saying that means nobody could do better than Sundar, but I do think the founders earnestly believe he is 1% better than any second choice.
Well, this certainly answers my questions on a previous righto submission about the implementation of minimum versus maximum mode. Thanks!

Incase it’s of any value, thought I’d share my situation and where your tool might fit.

Im currently completing a phd and having a dev background wanted a good text based workflow, specifically the Zettelkasten method using Zotero and Obsidian, something like this:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mMpVMuGBGe8&pp=ygUiWmV0ZWxrYXN...

I use Zotero as the reference manager, I can get academic articles “PDFs” into it via many means.

I’ve then wired up Obsidian, which is just a folder of Markdown files in a way that links to Zotero and I can drop reference links in the docs I write in obsidian that link to Zotero.

I do my writing in obsidian, and then can export to word at which time references to Zotero are auto generated into proper academic references and a useable bibliography.

I’ve documented the whole workflow here in the hope others use it to and contribute improvements:

https://github.com/evolve2k/obsidian-pandoc-academic-word-do...

Linking Zotero and Obsidian together it’s recommended to use the Better Bibtex plug-in. Bibtex very much can be used for this workflow but CSLJSON is also supported.

For your tools consider supporting Bibtex and/or CSLJSON and you’ll be able to be folded into many workflows.

My existing workflow solves “article collection & collaborative collection” (Zotero) followed on to academic paper writing and generating via an obsidian markdown workflow.

What I’m personally missing is the cli way to ask quick questions about my Zotero articles dataset. I think that’s a great place for your tool.

Also while I started with Bibtex my research showed that longer bibliographies work better with CSLJSON, it’s basically like Bibtex but as a json format.

Worth a look:
https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema

Here’s the relevant part of my workflow where I stick Zotero and obsidian together by configuring Bibtex/CSLJSON.

Assuming you could produce viable consumer cables that are superconductors, my understanding is that there would be no signal loss, so your hypothetical cable could have infinite length.

Digital is digital so this would be true for any data use case.

Maybe someone smarter can chime in about how electromagnetic interference affects or doesn’t affect a hypothetical “superconductor cable.”

I agree, but I think this reveals how dual class voting structures lead to market failures which is already well studied.

The founders believe he is 1% better, but what do the markets believe?
If anything the pis are the payment for disposing of the companies trash for them. They should be getting a fine for something like that, much less call it looting.
> Nothing to do with borrowing reputation.

It's a pretty common practice across science.
What are some open censorship-resistant protocols? Email?
Sure, but he decides how to allocate resources, make acquisitions, etc. across over 100k employees. If he decided to pull another Google+ he could easily destroy many tens of thousands of engineers’ worth of labor. And it’d only take him a few hundred hours to make that decision, set up the org to lead the project and delegate the execution to them. Putting those engineers on something that actually makes money and is a viable business like Cloud could do the opposite.

It’s not about the time it takes him to make these decisions so much as the quality of his decisions having potentially massive $ impacts on the company’s performance.
"Fair" is a necessary but not sufficient precondition for cooperation, which itself is a necessary but not sufficient precondition for solving the problem.

It's also much easier to convince someone that "no more X for you" is fair if you have a cheaper and better alternative to X. We're getting there for that.
And if chatGPT said “I don’t know the actual answer but my best guys is 15229” that would be a reasonable and potentially useful answer.

The fact that it gives you a number that isn’t rounded to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands place means that it doesn’t look like an approximation to any reasonable person, which makes it a terrible answer.

My younger brother used to have this problem. If you asked him a question like “how long until you get here”, he’d say “17 minutes”. What he really meant was “around 20 minutes”, but everyone thought he must know the exact time. Like he’d done the drive many times, or he was looking at his GPS.
When conducting coding interviews remotely I often switch from my mechanical keyboard to my laptop keyboard (for taking notes) because I know how annoying/distracting that sound can be on calls. Suffice it to say, having a gain knob on my mechanical keyboard would be wonderful.
Do you think he “actually” earned less than one million in 2021? Because that’s what accepting this framing means.

Did his pay actually increase? We don’t know.

The previous restriction on them was an example of controlling capital markets with statute. That was the point. These are all just words on power and numbers in a database. We can change the rules whenever we collectively choose to.

The thing about people is they'll whine and cry about how awful <anything> is but if it gives them convenient access to a dopamine hit they'll put up with whatever they're complaining about.

In https://ossia.io with PCH, using clang, ninja, mold, and some artificial split in shared libraries for development builds, I get a compile-edit-run cycle of a couple seconds in general... I wouldn't say it's too much of a problem if you use the tools already available
I don't now what exactly is intended with "recorded" in this context; the others seem "recorded" to me(?) I think it's more likely they read over or misinterpreted "one of the largest", or something like that.

Its not like the individuals actually need the money like, perhaps, a new product line would. Its just about getting paid the most. If you look at it that way, we would do well to deepen the progressive tax.
can we argue carbon footprint?
UBT is a blessing and a curse. I've spent a lot of time with it, and contributee to it. It's definitely not the fastest of build tools, the change detection takes a few seconds even on powerful hardware. The way it handles UHT (the codegen step of unreal) isn't great either.

It has a nasty habit of getting itself stuck, and it's got a horrific architectural decision of only allowing one instance of the process to run at a time (and see previous point, it gets stuck). Combine those two with modern IDEs that call the build tool in the background and you bet a messy situation.

But the adaptive unity build is probably one of the coolest features I've ever seen in a build system

It is just annoying. They aren’t worth as much as money I had from the west. I have lots of Thai and Indonesian currency as well, but I’m sure it’s inflated to nothing by now.
You always have more control over the browser than the OS. Every major browser already does this with DoH support.
I think it's a mistake to assume this will always be the case.

A decade ago, more than half my 40+ yo extended family was still only beginning to get exposed to the internet due to touchscreen phones and basic data plans becoming the default in the US. A few of them are now brain-fried Facebook conspiracy group people.

It seems reasonable that eventually most people will have a "safe space" on the internet to share their thoughts. And eventually, mass hysteria and mobs and general opinion that used to only exist online will (and clearly already has started to) become an IRL phenomenon.
That's a misunderstanding on your part.

Fair, there's plenty of extremely cognitive and smart "uneducated by higher education" people.

I don't know if that makes it less worse, or worse.

Enabling righteousness, where others are wrong, or missing the details, or thinking there can't be any understanding in something they don't understand or disagree with is a big problem.

Lots of people whack others over the head to externally validate their beliefs. I think Evangelism might even fall under that category by some definitions, no offence.

but is it really? How do we accurately measure CEO performance? We can barely measure developer productivity in any sort of meaningful fashion. Blowing $200m on what is effectively a faith based assessment seems a bit questionable.

Have you actually lived in MTV before? I did for a summer, in a hotel within walking distance of shoreline park actually, and….it is pretty segregated. That was the only one actually in that area, and it was nowhere near residential. Most everyplace else was in commercial el Camino anyways.

And that really isn’t the point, there are probably no shuttles in MTV other than the Caltrain station one. If we are talking about other areas in the bay, it’s the same.
Yeah, based on the other comments below I've revised the title. But if Spin left Seattle and didn't bother to properly clean up their scooters off the streets, it's fair game for anyone to pick up and dismantle what effectively is a lug of e-waste.

Seen is definitely a SW Ontario thing too, although more rural still. It's considered kinda unrefined I think. Same with "youse" like "you people" except "youse people." If you go further north I notice people talk in a exaggerated ascending and descending pitch inflection, at least along the north Huron coast. I catch myself doing it when I visit family there.

This would be hilariously satirical if it were not true and it highlights much of what is wrong with tech.

A benture capital subsidized micro mobility startup pulls out of a major city ostensibly because threshold for potential profit has been crossed and they’ve determined they cannot adjust their pricing to get the right numbers on their spreadsheet (note: this likely part of the reason why so many of these companies have trouble converting people to yearly plans, why bother if your market can be dropped with such swift indifference?). After pulling out of the market they leave their trash, that were assets a few days previous, scattered amongst the city as technological blight strewn across the landscape, left to rust. When opportunists go to crack them open, they find a raspberry pi, an SBC created for educational and hobby purposes but has been infamously out of stock because larger companies want to vacuum them all up to use in their own products. Then you wonder where all the engineering cost for these scooters went. After the presumably thousands of hours of labor that went into designing this, they went with a consumer grade, off the shelf product for an application that would have required a fraction of the power it was capable of? Not to mention that Spin can be identified as one of offenders of why the raspberry pi is so goddamn hard to find.

This all makes me irrationally irritated.
There exists scientific visualization tool that goes far beyond what you can visualize in gaming domain, e.g. some applications are deployed on supercomputers so that you can change parameters interactively with the visualization.

Gaming is highly specialized applications, so you should also be comparing to highly specialized applications in scientific domain.

There will always be lies out there. Sometimes the information is subjective to whomever is reading it. It's on the individual to determine first what he would like to read, and second, if it's true or false.

I care that everyone has a choice and blocking information has no place in a free society.
This is the consequence of lack of self-sovereignty, along with the lack of an agreed universal naming system.

That said, I’m not sure that first-come-first-wins is simultaneously fair, in such a universal environment. Nor, really, do I want it to be a “whoever can pay most gets the desirable names”, like DNS works.

I don’t have a better solution right now, but acknowledge that there’s a problem with the combination/intersection of “rarity” and “ownership” and such.

Are there any solutions that are even close to … some kind of fairness, or even approximation of a system that respects… anything?
