I suspect smartphones affect this in two ways.

One is that they put the Internet in everybody's hands, literally.

The other, though, is that by virtue of the interface, both display (tiny) and input (shitty, to put it mildly), the effective IQ of those participating, regardless of whatever it was initially, is severely penalised.

When I'm typing at a keyboard, I can look at the words I'm typing, or the source I'm typing from, or just off into space as I'm thinking my thoughts ... and be reasonably assured that what I think I'm typing is what's actually appearing on screen. And if not, editing to correct and fix issues is reasonably straightforward. If necessary I'll switch to a Real Editor (that is, vim, Vale Bram Moolenaar) which is another quantum leap beyond in-browser textbox editing.

When I'm typing at a virtual touchscreen keyboard, I am staring at the keys themselves and trying to hit the the keys I'm actually intending to hit. I'm not monitoring the output (which invariably has errors), I'm not looking at source text, I'm not thinking and composing my thoughts.

And then editing what I've written is also painful.

The resulting typos, losses of thought, and general incoherence in my own writing absolutely pains me to look at. From what I can tell, other people seem to suffer similarly.

I've given up using mobile devices for input (unless I can use a hardware keyboard, and even that rarely), and ... frankly it's a much improved situation.

Smartphones shallow the mind in many ways.
I didn't see it pointed out but DC is owned by Warner-Discovery (or whatever it is called) so they have tons of lawyers on retainer to prevent anyone from actually publishing Fables but them.

There's also the issue of trademarks which might also prevent people from using the Fables name.

Even if you do reach 200k in revenue all you have to do is pay 2k a year and then you now pay nothing else until you reach $1m in revenue.

I personally think its dumb for Unity to even have the $200k install pricing. It's created a ton of bad examples and drama.

Should just be upgrade to pro at $200k revenue then only after $1m do they do install pricing.

I first smoked marijuana 20 years ago. Since then there have been years where I haven’t had it at all, to smoking daily for months, to going back to not having it for months at a time. I have never had any issue stopping. No withdrawal. For me it’s even easier to quit than coffee. Not that I ever said to myself I need to “quit” smoking marijuana, because it isn’t an addiction. Sometimes I’m more busy than other times and want to focus on work, so I don’t get the time. Other times I’m in a more recreational period of my life and I find it is a lot more preferable than alcohol. Did you know some people casually are able to smoke cigarettes too without getting addicted?
Technically, libsodium is Frank Denis, not DJB, even if it started as repackaged DJB NaCl, but has diverged a little since.

I'm at the lower end of the millennial range and have personally experienced people who were a couple of years younger than me having to have folder hierarchies explained to them because they haven't encountered them before. This was in an introductory R course at the beginning of a master's degree at university.

You do not need root access necessarily, but you do need to get familiarity with the platforms you will actually be using when working, ie. Windows and maybe macOS.

For Gen X and most of millennials, that platform was the only platform that existed. Using computers necessitated becoming familiar with "real" computers. That is no longer the case which is why gen Z are digital natives that have the digital literacy on a similar level to baby boomers.
I treat picking uncommon OSS packages as adopting a bit of software. As I verify the tests look good, the build system, the api, the correctness, etc I also consider the code style and whether I (or my team) could maintain/patch it if needed. Adopting a bit of OSS is saving me some initial work, but doesnt absolve me of my responaibility to maintain it in the future. My business doesn't care whether the bug is one I wrote or one I greenlit externally, they just want the business app to work well.
That's what class actions are for.

> The Constitution was abandoned about 90 years ago, when FDR threatened to pack the Supreme Court

Not really. Threatening to pack the Court may have violated custom, but did not violate the Constitution itself, since Congress has the power to set the number of justices.

This actually highlights the more fundamental problem: the constitution is structurally imperfect and, really, is totally inert without accompanying norms and customs to make it mean something.

Unfortunately, the debate about what those norms and customs should be and how they should be developed and enforced is spoiled by philosophical and tribal gulfs that seemingly cannot be bridged.

Borland's C++ compiler was _fast_. And I mean eye wateringly fast on crappy pre-AMD64 hardware. I wonder if it supports modern C++ today and is still faster than other compilers. (If I am not mistaken this new edition is a offshoot of that?)

(Yeah I am not downloading the "Community" edition if I have to provide my name address and phone number. Really if your product needs mindshare and you offer community edition the least you can do is make it easily downloadable.)

My heart swells that this is entering the Overton window. '{{ | indent 2 }}' is a crime against computer science.
You can only use this edition if you make less than 5000 USD and/or have less than 5 devs. If you do, licenses start at 1000 USD per year. Assuming a commercial app, of course.

Gait Happens is a group of passionate clinicians who focus on foot and gait mechanics.

We teach online courses and programs that help athletes and other human soles step beyond pain into efficient, effective movement they can enjoy.

We also train pros and practitioners (online and in-person) to use our tools, assessments and strategies to see their clients as individuals rather than diagnoses and help them move better from the ground up.

Our mission is to change people’s lives around the globe by educating pros, athletes and every human sole to unlock the power of foot and gait mechanics.

Our vision is a world where each person is treated as a unique individual with the capacity to heal, so more people can enjoy pain-free, efficient movement.

This is why we can't have nice things: greed.

In an ideal world, the DC agreement is substantially fair: it gives independent authors the chance to receive better exposure, access to limitless amounts of incredibly talented professionals to help them polish their work, and a steady flow of income - in exchange for exclusivity, a chunk of money, and a certain regard for DC's investment.

But at some point, greed kicks in. DC "forget" to send a royalty check or three. They start making plans to make more and more money (games! movies!), for which original authors are just annoying roadblocks. And it all goes to hell.

It's so sad, because it's all so unnecessary.
> I didn't see it pointed out but DC is owned by Warner-Discovery (or whatever it is called) so they have tons of lawyers on retainer to prevent anyone from actually publishing Fables but them.

I don't see a way around this:

> The one thing in our contract the DC lawyers can’t contest, or reinterpret to their own benefit, is that I am the sole owner of the intellectual property. I can sell it or give it away to whomever I want.

If he kept full ownership, and I obviously can't see any of his contracts, DC doesn't have any ownership and so can't stop any such publication. It's like how publishing a nice edition of Shakespeare doesn't give that publisher any proprietary rights to Hamlet.
Meh. The real problem with Britain's royals is not this little stuff. It's that the current generations look like grim regressions to the mean compared to the relatively saintly QEII and Prince Phillip. And their inner circles of advisors seem even more short-sighted, small-souled, and self-serving. Europe had plenty of good reasons for dumping ~99% of its hereditary nobility over the past few centuries - and the House of Windsor seems far more interested in being a wretched-but-not-yet-dumped reminder of those reasons than it is the long-term welfare of its realms and subjects.

> Epic is not doing this out of the goodness of their heart

Tim Sweeney founded Epic and wrote the Unreal engine himself. John Riccitiello’s whole career is in management. Even if they’re both entirely motivated by profit, they have different perspectives on how to get there.

Also, Unity is a public company, while Epic is private. Even though Tencent owns a considerable share of the company, Sweeney still holds over 50% ownership. That gives them very different incentives.

Sometimes we forget that executives are people too and they have their own personalities. Tim Cook famously[0] told climate change denialists in a shareholder meeting that “If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock”. Sure enough, shareholders are also not solely motivated by profit, and voted with Cook on that occasion. It’s useful to remember that cynicism isn’t the same thing as realism.

Google photos for photos and videos, I use storage saver which reduces quality but whatever.

Everything else goes into Google drive. I use the Google drive app on Android to scan my physical documents, and I pay for the 200GB plan which is enough for all my stuff.

Eventually Godot will need to find a way to finance its development if it gets enough popularity.

I'm in general sketchy about OSS revenue generation if the devs don't collect $$ proactively but rely on goodwill.
All of that is fair, it's not like C++/CX was all that different from needing to use Obj-C on macOS. I'm just saying I can accept their reasoning. Using only standard C++ is better in a vacuum, but only if nothing is lost in the transition.

May I ask what your plan is regarding UI at this moment? I've given up and gone the web route (with Avalonia on my pocket in case my sanity gets dangerously low).
SC2013 had the horrible "agent" simulation. While I personally wished for more of the sc4 kind of simulation.

Fortran Package Manager (FPM): Package Manager and Build System for Fortran
I tried it, but didn't really like how it worked. What I would love would be some form of imapsync between IMAP (and icalsync for iCal) servers and a local (Maildir?) folder and an app that can view the contents of that local folder as an e-mail and calendar client.

Extra points for managing space by deleting files and keeping some form of pointer to the original content.
you call your blog separateconcerns.com and then advocate for the opposite. functions have their purpose. one of them is separating concerns as is done here. the code on the right is probably better than 99.9% of code out there.

there is even an academic book (normalized systems theory) which claims that having more concerns in one function, will inevitably cause an explosion of your codebase where you have to write a ton of code for a very small change. i doubt the validity of the proof they provide for this, but its something to keep in mind as i have not seen anyone more serious than I claim that it is wrong.

At a previous employer, we stored 3Tb of data in SVN. The data was mostly archival, however sometimes corrections were made to historical data. Using partial checkouts it was quite easy to sync a subset locally. I don't use subversion anymore, but thinking about it I prefer the explicit and deliberate commit/checkout/merge over the automagic sync conflict generators that are onedrive, dropbox, nextcloud etc. Also all pf these start to struggle somewhere around 100k files / 1TB data mark.
Companies also have to pay for Microsoft Excel. Does it mean they don’t own their businesses?
Cool.

I can sort of understand massive banking systems still running on COBOL, I would have thought basic programs small enough to replace. It looks like it's actually embedded in test equipment though?

What kind of basic are we talking about

20 goto 10? Or something more modern?
> I think they deserve to hold it for a little longer.

I don't see why. I don't see why should they have the exclusive right to sell it anymore, and sue anyone that creates a derivative work based on their work older than 10 years.

Also Girl Genius still would have a lot of options to make money of it. I just think derivative work should be able to appear, and more than 10 years old stuff should be free as in freedom and as in free beer. And we, as a society could choose this by modifying our laws.

Thousands of game studios have collectively made billions of dollars using Unity over the past decade. Strange comment, friend.
Many, really. QuickBASIC is very complete. You can easily install it in DosBOX to take a look, or download QB64 (https://qb64.com/) for a similar but more modern experience.

Some specifics that are in my mind as "must haves" are user-defined functions, file I/O, records (aka structs), syntax checking / interactive help in the editor...
I find your innocence touching.

EDIT: To elaborate, this is an article about a company fucking users over after an aggressive growth / dumping business model phase. Your response is yes but this other company would never fuck users over after an aggressive growth / dumping business model phase.
Absolutely. Remember last summer when everyone fled Reddit because of the API price hike and they shutdown?
It is, because it was based on an hidden agenda of "bait and switch".

> This is the conclusion of utilitarianism, where if you have N people each with 10 happiness, well then, it would be better to have 10N people with 1.1 happiness, or 100N people with 0.111 happiness, until you have infinite people with barely any happiness

1) Population isn't infinite, you can't continue this for too long

2) Your assumption completely depends on how costly it is to increase +1 happiness and to increase +1 user, you don't even mention it. And these costs are not fixed, it increases, so even if it is cheaper to add +1 user in the beginning, it will not continue to be cheaper indefinitely

So, nothing is preventing you from increasing happiness at the same time you increase users.
For my personal website I had the same question. I chose Gitea because it has a simpler stack than Gitlab can't say much more than that. Gitea will work for your use case.

Consider looking at the financial cost of support for both. As a company your time fixing problems is what I think is the most important consideration. Initial setup time is a small price compared to lifelong maintenance.

For Gitea I never had any problems I didn't create myself. But aren't all problems like that. And I didn't have a very complicated set up.
If you're doing all the data archiving yourself, and only need to make it readable to other family members...

I have a filesystem tree that organizes digital copies of all financial documents/data.

The tree is routinely backed up to rugged USB flash drives, labelmakered "FOR HEIRS", and stored in my safe and bank safe deposit box. The drives are unencrypted, and in FAT32 format (though I use Linux), to increase the likelihood that whomever needs it can access it easily.

At the top of the tree is a one-page `READ-THIS-FIRST.md` (text file using CR-LF encoding, in case they view it on MS Windows). It's also printed as paper copies in the safes. This one-page document tells them about the "FOR HEIRS" USB flash drive, the safe deposit box, GnuCash, and various insurances.

Also in the safes is a one-page printout/PDF from GnuCash, which shows all my assets and liabilities, other than durable goods in the household. (I'm guessing those two one-pagers are most of what heirs would need, at least initially. If they need more later, there's the full GnuCash database, and the neatly named and organized PDF files of things like financial service statements.)

I've recently kludged an easy way to maintain household durable goods inventory, by kludging onto purchase transactions in GnuCash. I still have to find the time to encode all the cruft I've acquired in the past, though. If/once I do, a household inventory might become a third paper copy in the safes (for possible someday insurance or estate purposes).
The problem with this approach is that usually there are more devices that registers. And registers are needed for other purposes rather than constantly storing UART's base address.
I also have backup sensors that are garbage. I ended up wiring a rocker switch in the power line for the beeper/beeper control unit. When I’m backing up to connect a trailer now, I can focus on the backup cam/helper person outside without being subject to the constant beep
I like that you show a 4-star review first :)
They would only lose ownership to their earlier strips by now. Also anything else would be fan fiction. It wouldn’t remove the primacy of author created works. I mean if I create a XXX Fables movie no one will consider it authentic or canon.

I was strongly considering the Pixel Tablet to run it with grpahene os as a sort of secure terminal for banking, mail, some chat messengers. But the weird decision to include that useless speaker stand instead of a keyboard case and stylus and the price kept me off it. Seeing the insides shows that was a good decision. That is chinesium tablet level of design. I cannot fathom why Google is so unwilling to take the Android Tablet Market seriously.
They literally stated it would not affect reinstalls.
The differences are magnified when arbitrary test coverage metrics are imposed. The first example is easier to write tests for because all the conditionals are easier to scan. The second, green, example requires the test writer to follow multiple stack frames to write the test unless there’s some mocking and spying framework at hand.
I literally just pushed a 101 line function to prod that is named "download_and_extract" that downloads some files from a place, extracts them, then has a lot of error checking and a couple of logging statements and hands off to a few smaller functions to move and re-arrange files. It is long but it is readable and doesn't really fit a more abstract way of doing things. But that's my style I guess.
The UK Parliamentary report on the Lybian intervention kind of refutes some of your points. Worth reading

"For instance, concatenation of line segments or planar regions serves as a substitute for addition; the operation of forming a rectangle out of two line segments would serve as a substitute for multiplication; the concept of similarity can be used as a substitute for ratios or division; and so forth."

When I was a wee lad, my parents somehow recognised that while I really took pleasure in understanding abstract math concepts, I struggled to grasp math concepts when only using written symbols (bless their hearts as my parents - my mom a security guard at a local power plant and my dad ran "warehouses" and did a sting in prison for "warehousing" the wrong "thing" - were the furthest thing from academics). They got me Cuisonaire Rod (1) instructions from a local lady who must've done it as a side gig.

We'd sit at her kitchen table and play around with shapes and I would gain true intuition for all types of basic math concepts. I believe it laid a solid foundation for my future (current work as an engineer and researcher).

I still struggle with abstract math explained using symbols. I very rarely make it through any math Wikipedia page explanations. It's like teaching an abstract concept with an abstract tool - too many layers of abstraction. I always envied the people who can.
