I didn't think of that one but that is a consideration as well. Children don't have the attention span to be working on school work for 8+ hours a a day anyway. Additionally, they should be developing through play/socializing just as much, if not more, as in-classroom and paperwork time.

> Minnesota recently passed its own right to repair law, and while also watered down to exclude cars, medical equipment, and game consoles, it did at least manage to include e-bikes.

This part makes me wonder how the industry will deal with Minnesota and others countries that have a right to repair.

Will the manufacturers avoid selling their bikes there ?

Will they produce “special reparable bikes” there ?

Will they just sell the same sh*t illegally regarding that law ?
Because it's not true. People only think this because of an innumerate article from ProPublica.

> There's just absolutely no reason for people to do free labors of figuring out what the thing is really good for nor testing the stuffs for billionaires.

This is an unexpectedly emotionally strong response, indicating antipathy towards billionares (presumably related to their wealth, influence, actions, morality, and so on). I'm not following how my relatively milquetoast comment brought about this reaction. Would you like to explain the backstory? There is clearly more to it, and I'd like to hear it.

There is also an implied 'thou should not' that I'm getting from the "absolutely no reason to do free labors". That is a very specific and pessimistic framing, which I'll comment on a few paragraphs down.

> A lot of people just don't want to spend their attention cycles on something that they don't find useful nor stable right away.

To situate the substance of your comment relative to mine: you are suggesting the importance of narrowly-defined, individual-oriented, easy-to-compute usefulness. That is certainly one view. And, yeah, I get it. For most of life's decisions, this is what people do. And for good reason.

Let's say for the sake of argument that I share your concerns about powerful forces playing outsized roles. For this paragraph, I'll be a committed socialist. From such a point of view, I will strongly reject claims that one should view usefulness in such a way with just one sentence: It is in one's self-interest to be curious and look beyond one's current frontier. Tools, even those tools created by forces you oppose, can serve your ends. It is better to understand and harness their power. Most, if not all, effective social activists throughout history take a pretty long view. The want change now, but they know they'll have to plan to get there. The ones that don't plan and use the tools at their disposal have a hard time building a movement.

Putting aside the political philosophy now... Remember, we're talking about the development of technology that, at the very least, creates the illusion of intelligent textual communication. That's no small thing. It doesn't matter if you think it is overhyped or not, it is an unmistakable force. The rate of change in unprecedented. This isn't anything like most 'typical' questions or decisions we face in life. Even from an individual point of view, learning how to best take advantage of AI can be an important time saver or for many in our field, a competitive advantage. So, reverting to a mindless form of usefulness isn't in our self-interest.

Anyhow, for what it is worth, this line of discussion is quite different from my point, which was largely epistemological, pointing out that the word 'usefulness' is hardly operational unless specified. I would also add an opinion: using the term when communicating with others pretty often invites misunderstanding, because statistically, the word has become quite comfortable. This combination of comfort despite inherent ambiguity is a recipe for comically predictable misunderstanding.

Just like every other OSS license.

No, not like "every other OSS license". OSS licenses, like MIT or BSD for example, allow others to modify and "close-source" it. The license doesn't oblige them to produce or distribute the source code. xGPL however makes it mandatory for any developer to share the source code if they distribute any xGPL software that they have modified. This is why corporates don't like the xGPL - it's not because it can't be commercialized, but because of their belief that the maximum value of a commercial software can only be derived when its source code is not shared. And this is true - when things can't be repaired, planned obsolescence is built-into it. In our industry (software) this is ensured by not distributing the source of the softwares.
So work the numbers. Put together the chance of false positives, false negatives, rate of negative effects from treatment, and rate of death with and without treatment. Tell the patient the risk of each outcome.

The math is easy. If we don't have the numbers for it, then get them. Plenty of people get prostate cancer and some of them choose to just monitor. We should have plenty of information to make a rational decision. This seems preferable to blinding ourselves out of fear that we'll do something stupid with the information we might get.

One Major Point for monorepos is the ability to eschew packages.
In most languages creating, publishing and consuming a package is a lot of work, while in a monorepo you just add a reference to the code and are ready to go (except in react native...gaah that was pure horror). That's especially valuable if you need to refactor something and need to adjust it's dependencies. Doing that via packages is slow and painful. Via project references it's mich easier and has a tight feature loop, change+build+fix instead of of change+build+publish+consume+fix

I think that websites as old as bash.org ought to just release database dumps so that other people have a fair shot at getting them back when they croak, sua sponte, without the sustained active cooperation of the most-recent maintainers.

Yes, you can use a battery to firewall off your solar from the utility and still have grid power as needed.

First arrange your breakers so that all load comes from your battery powered inverter. Second, charge the batteries with your solar. Third, charge the batteries with a grid connected charger at off peak times or as needed.

You will lose a few percent in the power conversions. Also affordability is left as an exercise to the reader.

Hetzner is great, but recently ran into an issue where their (newly introduced?) cloud security just spins instead of ever progressing to the login prompt on Mull and Librewolf. I assume because it's detecting something it doesn't like.

When I reported it to the support, I was first told to visit the account login screen at the provided URL. To which I responded that, yes, that was what I was trying to do but could not reach. Next I was asked to reset my password; I did so, as that page is not protected by the same security challenge. Alas no change. Finally, it was suggested that I reset my router. Since it was the middle of the day with many other users on my network, I asked whether this was to see if IP blocking was in place. They said yes. Rebooting the router didn't change anything. I switched browsers, and it immediately worked.

So if anyone at Hetzner is listening, maybe have a look at your login protection and consider whether there is an alternative way to block bots (or whatever) without impacting legitimate customers.
This would imply that the variable can get its value back once the new binding is out of scope. But that is not the case as this doesn't compile:

let s1 = String::from("abc");

{
let s2 = s1;
}

println!("{}", s1); //borrow of moved value: `s1`

But I do understand what you're getting at. In a sense, a move is not a runtime concept at all. The compiler simply considers the variable as no longer readable unless and until a new value is actually written to it.

Social media dramatically increased political polarisation and in this way are quite literaly destroying society and the bonds and social contracts that keep people together.

In contrast to their other engineered addictions my hunch is (with the caveat that I am not remotely a psychologist) that an important mechanism that enabled this regression was essentially incidental to the nature of these platforms:

Normal people for the first time got a public podium (or they think they do) and thus behave as if the whole world is watching.

Positions and arguments that earlier on were discussed in smaller and more forgiving circles are now in the open.

People get trapped, have to defend a public record, they feel exposed, must double down.

They seek comfort in similarly thinking corners, in newly formed clans, which are, as it happens, much easier to find online and encouraged by the algorithms of the platforms.

The result is large numbers of people absorbed into toxic, self-generated and self-excited virtual realities. A social mechanism that was always active at a low level, but is now on steroids and out of control.

This is just one of the traps: from selfies to influencers, from trolls to click farms the list goes on and on.

The positive impact of "connecting people" is drowned in wave after wave of negative phenomena. If we ever get out of this era intact we'll think of it as a nightmare.
I agree with you on that. Ideally, I'd love to have multiple institutions working on these issues, but while the idea is nice, it involves humans.

Corporations (ab)using permissive licenses to lure people to give away their code for internet points, and many of the same companies do not give away the code they improved upon. Even GPL is violated by some firms and they deny to obey it when they caught red handed or even flat out accept that they violate it and don't change their behavior.

Same corporations scare people away from strong copyleft licenses solely because it doesn't help their bottom lines, but they tell other things instead of admitting that they want free labor. Sometimes they even "sherlock" an application by inviting the developer to headquarters, luring them to talk about the design, re-implement it, and be very reluctant to even thank the dev whose dearest project is killed with a one swift lightsaber swing (read "The day AppGet died").

After seeing all this brouhaha and sinister motivations, muddying Open Source software and redefining it to "Software which is developed by enthusiasts which are lured by GitHub stars, permissively licensed, used by corporations and never supported back", and a couple of very successful projects with wise BDFLs, I'd prefer to have a trustworthy BDFL instead of institutions with varying motivations and agendas.

While we talked about GitHub, then there's whole CoPilot saga which crawls open source repositories, and conveniently forgets to understand what licenses mean, but I digress.

At the end of the day, Free Software (and even Open Source Software) is an idealistic endeavor first, and companies don't care about anything which is not money.

> It’s tempting to use the cyclical nature of the male crisis (and the cynical version of its modern variant) as a reason to reject worry about men. But there are plenty of reasons to be concerned. In his new book Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, And What to Do About It, Richard V. Reeves, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and founder of the new American Institute for Boys and Men, argues that unlike the late 19th century, or 1958, today’s men actually have fallen significantly behind women on a number of sociological metrics.

> In every school district in the United States, girls do better than boys in English and Language Arts. In Chicago, the gap between girls and boys getting high grades is identical to the gap in social class. Programs designed specifically to boost educational achievement for underprivileged kids like the Kalamazoo Promise are effective for girls but barely move the needle for boys. Almost a full quarter of boys are diagnosed with a developmental disability—twice as many as girls. One third of men with a high school diploma are out of the labor force. In 2014, one third of adult men lived with their parents. “The success of the women’s movement has not caused the precariousness of male social identity,” writes Reeves, “but it has exposed it.”

> Boys are not finding a way to live that feels rewarding. According to a 2017 Pew study, men find less meaning in their lives, from fewer sources, than women. Research by the Survey Center on American Life published in 2021 shows that men are increasingly lonely. One in five single American men report that they do not have one person in their lives they consider a close friend. The words that suicidal men are most likely to use to describe how they feel is “useless” and “worthless.”

This article is not denying the existence of problems. It is highlighting that online misogynists selling supplements and courses are making it worse, while they profit off of this misery popularizing empty, reactionary agendas that hurt everyone.
