> vim is the closest any editor comes to interfacing directly with my brain.

It's funny you mention that. Just today, I had this moment where I realized that if someone asked me which key letters are used to move up/down/left/right, I'd have to pause and think about it.

I've been using Vim for years. Like, my index finger rests on the down key, so J is down. I think? And so on... My middle finger rests on the up key, so K goes up? Do I actually have to move my index finger to go left? What is my pinky doing most of the time?

It's just funny how all this stuff is burned into my brain but I wouldn't even be able to tell someone the basics without a keyboard in front of me.

Outside a few open source options like zephyr (and FreeRTOS to a lesser extent), RTOSes typically have a worse developer experience than even the shittiest vendor kernel trees. At least Linux doesn't dictate your choice of dev tools like most of the commercial RTOSes do and the libc usually works.

This reminds me of an article I once read here about writing code in such a way that headers were included once and only once, but it required you to manually write the code in such a fashion. The catch was that it was distinctly not #pragma once, nor did the style require the use of header guards.

I'm wondering if anyone here remembers that article.
The ESP32 can certainly do any of those things, but where it starts to become a problem is when you want to do all of those things. You start to run into limitations on application size, IRAM, GPIO's, etc.

I've shipped ESP32-based boards and written firmware for it that really tries to cram in as many features as possible, but you do hit limits. While I almost certainly wouldn't make the choice of shipping a high-volume product with an actual Raspberry Pi in it, I do see why trying to cram all of this into an MCU is tough — especially if you're trying to get to market quickly.

Perhaps this would have been a good place to use the RPi CM4 though?
Maybe they have the highest number of immigrants, but as a percentage of the population other nations are higher and USA is very far down. Canada, Norway, Sweden are all higher... USA isn't even in the top 50 when looking at total % of the population.

> I wonder how far it is until transwomen could have a functional female reproductive system?

Actually, we are probably very far from that. And obviously, just because something is in the realm of possibility doesn't imply that we should do it.

May I recommend a short book by C. S. Lewis (the author of The Chronicles of Narnia)? It's called "The Abolition of Man", with the intended meaning of "Man" being just the mankind/humanity in general.

A central argument of the book is that a level of technological progress which enables arbitrary conditioning of human beings doesn't necessarily lead to some kind of liberation. More likely, it will empower the conditioners and destroy the constraints that fundamentally define our humanity. If you like liberty and humanity, that would be a grim prospect.

Technologies which would genuinely enable turning a man to a woman (in the biological sense) would also enable a lot of undesirable things (even if you think turning a man to a woman is itself something desirable).
Yes, hence the two not being the same - there is no net force.
I don't think vanilla HTML/CSS/JS is the way to go for beginners because of the "time to visually interesting results" problem. Starting with a framework that has widgets you can reuse is much more interesting and motivating.

That said, I'd argue that the selected framework should be one that doesn't completely obscure all the underlying HTML/CSS/JS (I'd avoid TypeScript at first) from them so it's easy to learn that when needed, plus it makes debugging using browser dev tools easier and means they'll have transferable skills for learning a second framework.

GWT (RIP, thank goodness) would be the extreme negative example, but React is on that side of the spectrum as well.

Vue, Svelte, Lit, and Angular seem to be the most popular frameworks on the "closer to HTML/CSS/JS" side of the spectrum, though I only have experience with the last two. Lit's great; Angular's not my favorite.

" as an occupational phenomenon"
"feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
reduced professional efficacy"

Yes it can be occupational, but it can also be applied to home, location, country or life.

When thinking about being burnt out by life, its more commonly known as suicide but not the only reason for suicide.

When thinking about being burnt out by a country, its seen in a variety of ways, like not voting for brexit if you are british and relying on the EU to draw up the legislation, which may or may not be enacted in full. It can be the culture of the country, the way people did/do things because its always been done that way.

When thinking about being burnt out by home life, I think most parents can relate to that, but social conformity means they must maintain a stiff upper lip!

Either way, I take everything people in authority or expertise or both say with a massive pinch of salt. I've seen so much hypocrisy its laughable.

On the point of inability to relax, calcium has a massive stimulatory effect[1]. Sodium (too little or too much) also causes a rise in osteoclasts which release calcium from the bones.[2,3] And there is so much salt in the processed food today (dont think I need to provide links for that), and water hardness is a contributory factor (dont think I need to provide links for that), beit soaking in the bath, having long showers[4], or drinking lots of hot beverages, is it any wonder people cant relax? If you get banged up in a mental health hospital, you wont be eating processed food, so your sodium intake will likely fall, and they probably filter their water so its soft water, to reduce estate maintenance costs.

So yes the WHO has a very narrow definition of burn out, but in the absence of any other definition for the above possible factors, I think the populace apply their own definitions and interpretation of burn out, although needing a holiday could be applied to country/location/home burn out whilst not being recognised as burnt out, like I've described above, mainly because to quote Monty Python "Always look on the bright side of life..."

Also, considering the all encompassing nature of the DSM, I'd have thought they would have had some input on burnout, but it looks like they are still contemplating it as a mental disorder.[5]

"Stemming from a lack of conceptual clarity, the current state of burnout research remains, unfortunately, largely circular and riddled with measurement issues."[5]

Sounds like a great kickstarter/home diy: “mechanical keyboard noise scrambler”, which is just a portable speaker/mic that upon hearing your keyboard, starts playing fake attenuated noise.
I remember building a crappy, but extremely dangerous (to the user), Gauss gun out of a stack of discarded disposable cameras, when I was much younger. I remember pulling out the capacitor and the charging circuit was pretty easy, and you just hook them all up in parallel, connect to a stack of AA or D cells in parallel. Still amazed I never died from doing crap like that. Definitely vaporized a few sections of skin and lit sections of my hair on fire a few times :)

I recall repurposing the Gauss gun as a tiny "handheld" EMP that would vaporize a section of wire. Made a Win95 thinkpad (ancient now, old then) do funny things.
I am not "avoiding" it, I am not going out of my way to implement something that has no effect on anything, other than taking up more characters in files.

If semantic markup is so important to you, give me a reason for why. If the reason is "because I told you so", you just added a reason not to do it.
I evaluated a bunch of vi clones in around 1994 and went with Vim. Xvi was one of them, as well as Elvis and some others. Already, Vim was a cut above the rest with some nice features.
Definitely not a joke. My friend from Singapore introduced me to butter-roasted beans. He enjoys western style roasts also but apparently craves a regular taste of home as well.

For the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which I'm almost sure this is, the congregation sings along to most, if not all of the organ music. I've been the organist for many congregations and I think this is awesome.

You know, if I try to get into exactly what is wrong, the problem is way more about the entire world relying on a single proprietary design than anything else.

The availability of something everybody uses is entirely up to Broadcom right now. The pi foundation fixed the problem on the 2040, and maybe they will fix on the mainline some day, but the situation isn't optimal right now.
I am using a rhetorical technique to point to the traditional economic system to contrast it with the crypto system, and in this way crypto is at least equally bad (if not (much!) better). That technique is for observers of the thread.

Unfortunately, if you have a problem with “rich get richer”, I believe you are arguing against fundamental requirement of technological improvement.

It takes patience to do anything of value. Anything. Learning a skill, mastering a job, earning the trust of your peers, becoming a leader - this requires time, dedication, and discipline. A government cannot simply mandate that everyone can read, or everyone can be rich for that matter.

All risk has tradeoff. It takes those with more stuff in order to risk enough stuff to subsidize a lot of experiments, some of which will bear fruit. I would argue that even in the smallest communities, with everyone starting equal, very soon some will have more and some have less. This is simply human nature.
It is the H in HTML and HTTP!
Notice I said "at best it's appropriation"?

The form is explicitly that defined by tolkien, with so many elements not found in the traditional forms and elements missing that are found in the traditional forms to be viewed as explicitly copied from Tolkien.

Your position is like saying that it wouldn't be any form of IP theft to use all the elements of Diablo IP including names, culture, historical features and other aspects so long as it wasn't actually in the world of Diablo... and I'm pretty sure the IP law is settled on that matter, isn't it?
I grew up in Newfoundland. We have several dialects, and a whole bunch of accents. I find the Hiberno-English ones the best!
'Ballpoint' was the term used in the first patent for such a device. Later, the name 'biro' was coined from the name of László Bíró, who created the first commercially successful ball point pen. Finally, there is of course the famous company Bic, which was named by its founder Marcel Bich after himself.

I would say that in my experience as a British person, 'ballpoint' is used frequently, 'biro' is probably the most common and has an almost colloquial feel to it, and 'bic biro' is used to refer to specifically to ones made by Bic, where people are usually imagining something like the Bic Cristal as a sort of 'standard' pen.
Does that mean SUSE will likely be using your fork from here on? :)

If I wasn't personally involved in building something I'd generally assume the engineers were reasonable people making reasonable decisions.
Unfortunately, no. The textbooks that I have looked into have not been convincing, since they tend to be overly focused on the parsing and syntax aspects, which is IMHO not where the really interesting stuff happens. (It might help if you've never had any CS exposure at all, but I did get exposed to a bunch of parsing theory in my CS minor during undergrad, mostly from a complexity perspective, so...) So I ended up picking things up on-the-fly over time, occasionally going over some presentations / lecture notes or (less commonly) papers that I found references to or found via searching.

How often are you waiting to two weeks to see your primary care doctor? I’ve never had an issue getting an appointment the same week, if not the next day. I agree that wait times for specialists can be excessive.
Yeah, it was private data that was stolen and then released publicly by someone who stole the stolen data. Would it be ok with you if I installed malware on your phone, stole your private messages, and then those messages were stolen from me and released for the world to see? That's what happened.

The "number of slots" at a university is limited in the exact same way as the number of tables at a fancy restaurant and the number of rooms at a nice hotel. The "limited" is a business model / marketing ploy - to maintain the air of exclusivity, and maximize revenue.

And for your "taxpayers foot the bill"? I live near the University of Michigan. Total "public university" state funding, per student, is maybe $7,000 per year. Vs. out-of-state undergraduate students are charged a ~$40,000 per year premium, over in-state tuition rates. (BTW, U of M total enrollment has increased ~50% in the past 30 years. Building more classrooms and hiring more staff is easy stuff, from a U-M Executive Suite PoV.)

My NSF point was not that NSF should pay more. It was that your "foreign nationals...NSF funded programs" argument is not logical. If we're paying crap wages to "best and brightest" foreign nationals, while American drop-outs do better flipping burgers...that sure doesn't sound like "them" taking advantage of "us". Quite the opposite.

Shared success is not metrics. In fact, most people’s understanding of “metrics” erodes any ability to have a high performing team.

In my experience, there’s an intangible aspect of “doing what the team needs” that fixed metrics simply cannot capture.

Interestingly, I've noticed the decline in {low,in}land south accents in Texas gradually over that past ~20 years. It was much more pronounced, but now mostly only elderly people speak with this accent.

PS: My mom would come back with a southern accent for a month or 2 when she visited family. She lives here full time now and has only a mild accent, if any.
The fact that this was so downvoted makes me worry. Yes, this would be massive for same-sex, trans, etc. couples. Anyone who is not able to carry a child to term. Right now having a child isn't a fundamental biological "right". We should strive to make it a human right, through technology, regardless of biology.
Whenever I think of Lisp for scripts, or even a login shell, I drift towards an elegant handling of pipes. Mostly because for 99% of what I do, it involves pipes.

It is accurate, this is how BUSL works :). Its irrevocable, the licensed code MUST convert to a license that is compatible with the GPL within a maximum of 4 years. It can be any license, so long as its compatible, and it can of course be sooner than 4 years.

This is (was) largely a problem caused by holes in the web platform. Historically it was incredibly hard (if not impossible) to style or otherwise extend the behavior of a true <select>, so most apps had to reimplement it (poorly). <selectmenu> seems to be the new styleable built-in replacement.

And then because code sharing across apps/frameworks/companies/etc was historically very hard, only really big companies had enough headcount to build fully functional, accessible, customizable replacements for built-in components. Web Components solve this, allowing global collaboration on common leaf node components like <select>.

This conception of 'Great Books' is grim. It is literature denuded of all aesthetics, reading reduced to strip-mining for raw semantic content. For reading philosophical texts, sure it seems pretty fantastic, but the tacit value judgement on the all other forms of literature? Unspeakably depressing.

Though, that context does explain why the article contains the current front-runner for my least favorite sentence in the English language:

> They deserve to be greeted with a tailed-tux and clean palette, chewed with the utmost mindfulness, spat out onto the table to rest for five minutes, licked off the table to savor the flavor of oxidization, digested over a four-hand stomach massage to increase circulation, vomited out Roman-style, spread over the genitalia so that the most sensitive part of the body can gain a tactile appreciation, ingested for a second and penultimate time, passed out quickly with laxatives to preserve the fibrous quality, and cooked in a slow-roast paste to capstone the feast.
