I work in a real time subscription analytics company (chartmogul.com). We fetch, normalize and aggregate various billing systems data and eventually visualize them into graphs and tables.

I had this discussion with key people and i would say it depends on multiple factors. Small companies really like and require real-time analytics: they want to see how a couple invoices translate into updated saas metrics or why they didn’t get a slack/email notification as soon asit happened. Larger ones will check their data less frequently per day or week, but again it depends on the people and their role. Most of them are happy with getting their data once per day into their mailboxes or warehouses.

But we try to make everyone happy so we aim for real time analytics.

> It's why often farm water usage is not nearly as bad as it superficially seems, and why farm water usage of a river can be multiples of the actual river flow

This is beside the point.

The issue is the reservoirs. If the reservoirs and sources are being depleted faster than they replenish then their levels go down.

The water crises are about the reservoirs and sources going down. We don’t care how much farmers use in absolute numbers as long as it’s not overwhelming the capacity of the systems to replenish themselves.

I've asked myself this question many times, for example when the british CMA prevents Microsoft from buying Blizzard (both american companies). It's fun to see the chinese join this game. Will that change anyone's view on its legitimacy?
There's zero chance of copyright reform either (copyright has also ossified itself through international treaty), so as long as we're discussing "what ought to be", it's worth pointing out that it wouldn't be that crazy to require source code availability as a consumer protection regulation. It's essentially analogous to requiring manufacturers make their service manuals generally available. In fact the whole free software movement was kicked off in response to printer manufacturers making their products impossible to fix, which is still a problem. And fundamentally, it's a right-to-repair issue.

The FOSS movement predates all of those companies, and Microsoft was actively hostile toward it for a long time. GNU/Linux, BSD, GNOME, KDE, postgresql, etc. would still be here without them. Plenty of FOSS development could be done as a synergy with other products; e.g. Intel has a good history of this. With adequate consumer protection, all software could be this way (things like games could have copyright on the artistic assets. See e.g. id software). And in a world where all software is FOSS, it would still be a multi trillion dollar industry (perhaps with more of a professional services model) because software automation is simply too valuable not to be created.

Anyway, the point is that copyleft is a (well done) hack on the legal system. It's meant to be a practical solution while we advocate to fix the law. It's not an end in itself.

Because booleans are not 1-bit integers. They're not integers at all.

The only thing computers represent directly are ones and zeros. 1 and 0 are not integers either; they're just high or low voltage levels on wires. The fact that we label them "1" and "0" is just for convenience; it doesn't make them integers.

Even addition itself is an abstraction. As far as the CPU is concerned, addition is just a multi-bit XOR operation coupled with some AND operations.

We abstract sets of 1s and 0s to mean numbers, pointers, characters, booleans, symbols, arrays, structures, etc. and we abstract operations on them as well. If we don't make our abstractions explicit, we cannot reason about what results to expect from a computer's operations, nor can we enlist computers to help us with that reasoning process.

By your argument I might as well add integers to strings or arrays or structures -- they're all just bits after all. We might as well not have types at all and just let the programmer keep track of all operations manually. That's assembler programming and it's extremely bug-prone and it doesn't scale.
Laws will have to be adjusted to make this level of surveillance and enforcement tolerable.

> Managers it's part of your responsibility to help your workers get the recognition they deserve, but this is especially true for your remote workers due to the circumstances above.

Yes, this is also a recurring topic. My approach to this as a manager is to give sort of an overview about the system so that people understand how it works in our local context.

It starts with "first, do you job and don't try to hide in case you make a mistake. But here is the people (mental list) that *need to* have visibility of your work and here are the main forums we need to get your work visible."

TBH, I don't think it is really within my power to change the system and make it fair. So if I can advocate for a better improve to people in my team, I just do that. If other managers are not acting strategically, well, that's their loss.

I've been successful in this way over the last many years.

Imperial county is not actually that far from the mouth of the Colorado... Except that, for practical purposes, it does not have a mouth any more, on account of all the water being taken from it.

My guess is that most of what sinks into the ground from agriculture makes its way to a saline aquifer. Some of it may end up in the Salton Sea, which itself is very saline and also shrinking.

There’s the historical pattern of German imperialism as well, where the sovereignty of peoples and lands between Germany and Russia does not exist. The historical smell is not good. “There is nothing of concern east of Germany except Russia”. Hence CCE countries joined the NATO as soon as they could.
>The fact your HTML barely reads like HTML after Tailwind, and reads more like your file is corrupted is I guess not mentioned in the tagline.

Not my experience for the record. I use Tailwind in my side project, and it is exactly as convenient as it sounds to write my styles directly into HTML rather than think of a class name, add it in HTML, switch to the proper CSS file (or create it if it doesn't exist and make sure it's part of the build step), forget what name I had decided on, check the original HTML to remember the name, then go back to the CSS file and write the class name and then finally within that block add my style.
This sounds really interesting. If you ever get a chance to sit down and do a write up as to what you discover, I would love to read it.

A hell of an intro from Rich Hickey of all people.
> But I'm struggling to understand what we know now that scares us so much. Could PFAS concerns be partly some kind of enviro-moral panic?

I will tell you what scares me:

- I think covid has maybe a 10-20% chance of leaving a large portion of the population partially disabled (with small but significant effects like lead)

- We have new diseases coming out all the time. This is pretty new, and specific to humans living with the density and travel we have today. Most serious human diseases are <10,000 years old. I think this is >20% risk.

- I think PFAS are also in a 10-20% chance range.

- I think there are a half-dozen similar things currently in the environment.

- Toss in some reasonable probability for biological superweapons (which can now be made at many university labs by a clever undergrade).

- Add in thermonuclear war, which was very possible during the cold war, and seems increasingly possible now.

- Global warming. I think it's overblown, and I'd also toss it in the same 10-20% range of being a civilization-ending crisis.

- AI apocalypse

... and so on.

Modern humans have been around for (big-O) 100,000 years. Prior to 200 years, we had zero ways to cripple or end or all human life (or all life) on the planet. Today, we have literally dozens. I don't think any individual one is that likely, but I am increasingly concerned that we might have reached:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

I'd like for us to invest the resources to take each of these seriously and address them. That's really where I'd like a big chunk of my tax dollars spent. Right now, we're spending big-O zero resources on serious crisis mitigation.

FEMA is maybe 0.01% of our GDP.

That's not really a fair way of looking at it, since military, CDC, etc. aren't part of FEMA, and play similar roles, but the point is that I'd like us to have a holistic infrastructure for:

- understanding risks

- mitigating them

- having big projects to eliminate them (like we had with getting rid of many diseases like smallbox a half-century ago)

- leading and coordinating globally

- having food stores, medical supplies, shelters, and access local manufacturing capacity

- having emergency capacity (e.g. producing all the artillery shells Ukraine needs, or all the respirators we thought we needed during the acute phase of covid).

... and so on.

If that takes up 10-30% of our GDP, I think that's money well-spent. I actually don't think that would take that big of an increase in spending, since a lot of our existing capacity could be generalized. For example, the military could train for a lot of domestic disaster relief and coordination as well. We could give small subsidies to e.g. manufacturing plants if they maintain more general capacity and excess capacity. Etc.

A careful reread of my comment will show that I don't endorse "sucking up to imperialist regimes" of any kind. I am responding to the idea that it is somehow foolish or immoral to respond to your own country's imperialism even in light of the imperialism of other countries.

The point you're making seems good I just don't know why you're trying to make it to me is all.
I agree these people are irritating but when I look at the people that move up on my org it’s mostly “loud laborers“. They jump on a lot of initiatives championed by upper management, achieve nothing but in the end upper management and the loud laborer present the whole thing as huge success.

My understanding is that basically all clients were scaling to the next highest integer factor, and then rescaling back to the fractional size. With this, and support in the toolkits, it should be possible to be more efficient and have more accurate rendering.

But yes, I have a keyboard shortcut that can change the scale of my entire desktop up or down in .1 increments. It's one of my favorite Linux things because macOS and Windows sure as hell can't come close to working that well with arbitrary scale factors.

You can't just charge the farmer based on a particular crop because they can easily change that from year to year. Alfalfa usually last 4-5 years before they replant. So they would have to basically raise the prices of water for all farmers.

A huge portion of our nation's food supply is grown in CA. It would/could drastically raise the prices of food worldwide because some tax hungry politician wants a larger tax base.
Adding additional info for very large corporates. The mid-career employer jump that sets you up for director (or equivalent) and above is absolutely critical for advancement. You’ll need to build a base of support cross functionally and get tracked for executive rank/comp package from there. Once your executive track, it’s almost entirely a political game.

You’ll also need to be ready to move again once you get into the executive ranks. Typically true exec headhunters will become willing to talk to you at this point and you’ll have another significant comp rescope opportunity in your late 30s to mid 40s.
The static fire lasted 2.5s and was at about half power, minus 4 engines. And yet there are no "after" pictures of the rocket bidet. It was demurely covered by a tarp.

If it fails, it will fail due to the full strength of the rocket blast either directly penetrating the bidet or flashing the water into steam and deforming or breaking the steel structure.

It's not a "deluge" system. To have a deluge system, you need a flame trench, a flame diverter made of steel that can be readily replaced if it ablates, and your pour a massive amount of water onto the flame diverter and into the flame trench.

To have a flame trench in a place with a high water table, you have to build a large mound because you can't actually dig a trench. Like at Kennedy Space Center.

SpaceX won't do that because they are stuck in a sunk costs fallacy.

I write plain CSS today, which is then scoped to components or bundles of interactivity, and all of those point to major, top-level control sheets that help determine the mode (light/dark/high contrast) and the theme. We tweak small changes up high to effect large platform changes throughout, saving time, energy and headache of the hunt/peck exercise.

I do similar things with Tailwind, making global changes by updating a config file instead of a base CSS file. It's not hard and it works well. To be honest, it's not something that really comes up very often. I don't see this as a particular advantage of Tailwind or CSS. I care much more about the day-to-day dev experience.

Prior to using Tailwind I spent about 20 years trying every system you can imagine to manage styles across large websites/apps. I still use the skills I learned when Tailwind doesn't cover an edge case I need. It's fine. Before that I spent about 5 years doing the same with tables and font tags (Adobe Pagemill was awesome). Of all the systems I've used, Tailwind is the easiest to keep neat and tidy. Maybe I'm a terrible dev and other people find CSS really easy to manage, but having spent two decades talking about it with other frontend engineers I'm reasonably certain that's not a common skill. Tailwind makes life much easier for most people.

That article is obfuscating why the license was going to be rejected by the OSI. The OSI has as part of their definition of open-source that there can be no field of use discriminators. It had nothing to do with the fact that it was drafted by a commercial company. OSI has approved plenty of licenses drafted by for-profit companies (e.g. Intel, IBM, Microsoft.)

"Nintendo gamers" aren't really a thing, unless you're a kid with only one console.

Everyone I know who loves games has a Switch in addition to at least a PS5/Xbox if not a gaming PC, and they play everything. Nintendo games are unique. They're a legitimate reason to still buy a six year old console, and millions of people do.
> I'm sure there's cynics in here that will have a benny about "soft language" and "the tofu-eating wokerati are at it again" or something, but it's not so much about language but mindset.

I think it's less about the language and more about being forward looking. You can't change what happened in the sprint, but you can do the next sprint better.

It's also about clear separation between identifying issues vs assigning blame. The latter doesn't help anyone, because blame is almost always backward-looking.
My company does EMR and practice management. Yeah, insurance companies definitely are insinuating themselves further and further into the encounter and it’s very gross on top of distracting. We’re also spending a lot of time on Meaningful Use/CURES (regulatory) and interoperability and not as much time innovating and addressing core issues (usability, performance, stability). But sometimes we just plain miss by modeling solutions that sound fine from the engineering side but are impractical in the practice. On the other hand, it’s incredibly frustrating to try to build solutions when each doctor can have a radically different idea of an essential workflow (and often are inconsistent or obstinate about it). I think there’s a plenty of blame to spread around, but I think vendors (i.e. me) have a hell of a lot of room for improvement.
Yeah. The author even has an essay about it: https://htmx.org/essays/hateoas/
I'm very much the stay quiet and focus on your work type, and I agree with you on this, but I will say there are exceptions.

Some companies really do value good work. Speaking as a developer if a team I'm in has a good technical lead then they tend to know when someone is just talking a good talk, but isn't technically that strong.

Also, I think knowing when to speak is almost just as valuable as speaking often in many cases. Even if you don't say much if what you say has a lot of value people will recognise that.

Although at a certain level your ability to spew BS becomes far more valuable. A CEO of any corporation is basically a professional at the art of BS.

This is a boon to many django developers.

I remember few month ago I was making a post liking system, before htmx, I had to use jQuery to fetch the json api server and update the like count, but with the use of HTMX, oh boy it was like I was just writing plain html along with my django logic.

This is one of the greatest thing I've found.

Also, handling forms with HTMX is also very easy.

HTMX really improve both user and developer experience.
Afaik (and I watch this fairly closely) there hasn't been a study. There are a lot of anecdotes, typically of the form "a person won a few million but spent like they had an income of a few million per year," sometimes of the form "a person won a huge amount of money but it turns out money doesn't solve all problems," and sometimes of the form "a person won a huge amount of money and invested it poorly." But most people who win a big lottery are still rich a decade or two later.

However the ultimate optimal game of chess is still not known/solved though (in the end it's either a win for white, for black or a draw) and brute-force is alive and well: every possible position with seven pieces on board has been solved by brute-force and the endgame is now only one lookup in a lookup table when there are only seven pieces left on board.

I think they're currently solving it for eight pieces.

So it's learning but then brute-force for the end game.
This is not about Wayland support. It is about "true" fractional scaling support via the protocol mentioned in the article, instead of apps rendering at integer scales and then the compositor scaling them down to achieve a fractional overall factor. I guess this should make fonts look better and save some resources.
