I never understood why Americans had so much breakfast cereal. It’s basically highly sweetened rolled corn. If you don’t eat it with milk you’re not get much nutrition at all.
I really don't see Chinese-style whole government response with state-owned-enterprises and all happening in the US. That may not even work if it were possible. A viable domestic manufacturing sector is just not a goal of US decision makers (donors and kingmakers). At this point, career administration staff have been so fanatically selected for ideological loyalty that I don't think Washington can accomplish much of anything outside of accounting gimmicks.
You aren't wrong, but it's not reasonable to hold such a strong opinion without experience. I spent 15 years working in high-tech manufacturing, at Sanmina, which - like many peers - also offshored the majority of capacity. What remains in the US is mostly manufacturing for regulated industry (military, medical).

Take a look at this, re institutional ownership: https://money.cnn.com/quote/shareholders/shareholders.html?s.... 95% of outstanding stock is owned institutionally, which is pretty normal in manufacturing. For decades, this has been a core investment sector for pensions and other institutional funds, and remains so, even if it's just to balance investments in tech, biotech/pharma, retail/CPG, financial services, the military industrial complex and transportation. Moreover, if you attend quarterly results calls, you typically end up with a few analysts from banks and at least one from some pension fund, who ask questions. We young people may not care about pensions as almost none of us will have one, but they still exist and still influence large pieces of our economy.
Parse Server+Dashboard. Setup takes half an hour, including testing whether the DB is connected. Handles accounts. Easily links stuff in a table, e.g. if you have Company connected to a User and a Address, it manages the pointers for you, and it's really easy for FE to just get the details.

If Parse Server dies or implodes for some reason, it's still built on top of MongoDB, so the data still belongs to me and I can switch to something else. I also don't need to worry about horizontal scaling.

Tutorial on it for setting up on Heroku: https://smuzani.medium.com/setting-up-a-mobile-backend-serve...

It's a little old, but the stuff I built on top of Parse Server back then has been scaling up to a thousand users, and now we've just been adding things like pagination and giving heroku more money.
Maybe look at who you just replied to there?
Indeed, its popularity was an artifact of mid 20th century ag industry marketing and influence over the USDA (food pyramid and school lunch guidelines), as well as ag industry subsides.

Poor health outcomes are a direct result of these subsides.

Intelligent students of history expect the government to be corrupt and bad.

It works the same in every country, from Japan to Russia to Germany to the USA to Venezuela.

It's the principal-agent problem, writ large.

I live in both the US and Germany (roughly 50/50) and the level of corruption is about the same in both places.

A lot of it is so ingrained in the culture you don't register it anymore. It gets automatically filed under "the way things work here" and becomes relatively invisible.

I could, though that might be too close up to appreciate what I hope will come across as its awesome majesty.

The article is also something of a cautionary tale against attempting it solo. I see that the author says "I didn’t see so much as a vapour trail in the sky", which is in line with my personal experience.

I have, however, seen Mont Mégantic from the air, which is pretty impressive in a way that probably cannot be fully appreciated from the ground - it looked to me rather like an upturned cup on a saucer, embedded at a shallow angle in the ground.
Hasn’t this been the case for years? Or did something change with Usenet/Google groups recently?
Yes...but if "real muesli" means "not loaded with sugar", then you may need to shop at a specialty bulk food store or health food store.

If plain oatmeal qualifies, I think larger grocery stores still carry that.

They apparently decided on “none”, which is valid.

I kinda agree with the maintainers here, if it’s an issue, fork it, add your own CoC and manage your own community as you see fit. That’s valid too.

There’s nothing wrong with suggesting to adopt a CoC, but ultimately the maintainers get to decide.

This is a tough situation to live through. If I remember how US visas work, there's usually some kind of time limit you have to stay employed for, after which you're allowed to stay in the country. That's probably where I would start if I were in your shoes: Figure out how much longer I need to survive before this part of my life suddenly becomes derisked. If there's, say, only 3 months left, then you're probably in a pretty fair position. If it's 3.5 years ... Maybe it's best to have a backup plan ready, just in case.

I've heard it estimated to me informally that the final cost for a company to sponsor a foreign citizen on a visa is around $5-10,000. That's a fair chunk of change, and some hassle in the meanwhile, but if you can get a good worker at a below market price many businesses would be willing to take the risk on hiring you. The risk of them losing you is also much smaller because of the visa situation, so don't think it's a hopeless sell by any means.

If it is at all possible, I would keep a minimum of $10,000 lying around in some easily-liquidatable form in case the oh shit moment finally drops. The reason you would want this is because you might have to break a rent contact, incurring a fine; move states; and start a new rent contract, all in very short order. That's a lot to have on your plate at once. You might have to buy a beater car if you don't have one already, etc. But you have the chance now to at least ensure you can survive if you end up in that situation. Never doubt the robustness and peace of mind a good solid chunk of savings can afford you.

If none of that pans out and you get ousted, you can at least pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you made the most logical moves afforded to you in the situation. With US techie experience you'll find it easier to break into other markets as well. I for example moved to Finland from the US a few years ago, almost right after graduating college, and the immigration policies here are miles easier to get through. The US is known worldwide for being a famously brutal market to work in, so that experience will travel well.
Yes, I'm also not really sure I want to see algebraic types in Java even though I would prefer if a language that focused on algebraic types was more popular.

All the existing Java code doesn't go away, so is it really going to be nicer to have code like this mixed randomly into that?
Or hits anything that might be passing by, like a boat.
Wrong. It was a preview when that blogpost was published, but it's been rolled out to all stable users by now via update.

> Culturally there is no problem sharing schematics, so why not code?

HAM operators are for a big part middle aged or older, which could mean for most of them being not fluent with programming, while in theory most of them should have passed an electronics exam. As a result, software knowledge is more rare and could be monetized more easily. Also, the final product of a schematic has to be rebuilt each time in order to be sold, while software can be just copied; that could make a further incentive to keep source code secret.
Was just going to chime in about the same excellent product. The I add in sweet Yoplait yogurt (which I like to call “fruit pudding”). Gotta get that sugar in somehow! :)
The stdlib really isn't enough unless you want num_teams x session handling implementations etc.

> I doublt things would go better for teams trying to go full OO in haskell, or full functional in Java.

That is the beauty of Java, no one does this.

They don't feel like they need, should or will get approval to.

Go is pretty much the wild west because "the std lib is enough" attitude permeates everything. Build your own datastructures, build your own anything really.

I can understand why many people find that attractive and hate Java as a result, sometimes Java feels more like Lego and less like programming but it does create predictable reliably constructed software that is generally easy to clean up even if it's done a bit poorly.

Which is something I value because I often end up in the code janitor role and/or being air-dropped in to get a project back on schedule or drastically cut down the defects etc.
As a European, that's a very superficial reddit-tier understanding. Europe is far far from the civic paradise of engaged citizens you're trying to portray. Not even to mention the EU government, which hugely affects everybody's life but which the overwhelming majority of citizens never interact with.
>> There are plenty of ISAs you can find freely available today (Open sparc anyone?). The problem is fragmentation…

If by "fragmentation" you mean lack of industry-wide support, then you've answered your own question as to why RISC-V. Most Debian packages can run on it. There is even an Android port to RISC-V. Outside x86 and ARM, the next best supported ISA is RISC-V.

Unrelated: why do they call the instruction set an architecture or ISA?

I love the idea, although the risk of torn pages is mildly concerning for archival purposes or valuable books. Though if that were the case, I'm sure scanning by hand would be preferred anyway. I've often wanted a device like this for the purpose of digitizing my excessively large collection of books.

Regarding frequency of torn pages in the FAQ:

> Prototype 1 could scan the majority of books without damage, but may tear one or two pages in some books. Out of 50 books tested, 45% had one or two of their pages either torn or folded. This is a very early prototype and there are many areas for improvement in the design.

In my opinion, this is mostly acceptable. Especially if a future revision reduces the 45% to somewhere around the ~10-20% range. If I had the space for a device like this, I would definitely consider building one.
I think this is the most useful kind of data so we can put this into context, but I’m curious how they would estimate something like this.

I agree to a certain extent but a tool charging money just seems odd. Like what if Ableton starts charging for every stream someone gets on Spotify, or Apple with Final Cut for every minute someone watches a video. Or probably, not so far fetched, Adobe charging for every view you get on Twitter of an image.

Like, just charge someone a fee for your tool and be done. If you think your tool is worth more just charge more.

Aging myself here... I played a ton of DOTA on the WarCraft3 engine... probably when I should have been studying for engineering finals.

What amazed me about the game, and probably why it is so addictively fun to play is you always have two competing things gripping for your attention. On one hand, resource farming _demands_ incredible attention to detail (obtaining the last shot on creeps for a kill, ergo a gold reward). Then on the other hand, you must also be planning your character's build, monitoring minimap, monitoring others' builds, and most especially watching missing enemy players. It's hard to do all of the things effectively... one has to make the farming aspect of the game second nature and remove the distraction to be a good player. (Which I never was)

I don't have the luxury of spare time to play long DOTA games anymore, and largely I've replaced it with building things and outdoor sports (MTB racing, Gravel Racing, climbing) but I still look fondly at those times and the IRL and online friend group I had.
Building them quicker and cheaper without compromising safety is an unsolved problem though.
> If this were the case, it would beg the question as to why many consumers and businesses willingly opt for rental models.

Consumers: because "as-a-Service" can have cheaper sticker price (often free), people have hard time seeing long-term costs, and social immune system hasn't caught up with this particular type of abusive business practices.

Businesses: because they're much more focused and high-cadence economic units than are individuals living a life, and most importantly, they're abstract. Their don't have lives that are valued. They're an entirely different kind of economic agents, and it makes much more sense for them to be "cash flow minded" instead of ownership-minded.

Then there's also the angle that, in B2B, typically both sides of the relationship are much closer in terms of relative power than in B2C, which is why there's less blatant abuse happening there.
> high in protein, steak or a roast, fish, pork ribs, something like this.

I do not understand this "meat" thing at all. When I'm hungry, the last thing I want is dead animal flesh. If I'm hungry I prefer something fresh and plant based like carrots, tofu, apples, or something like this.

The amount of meat in basically all diets is just insane, then people actually pour even more animal products on top. I don't understand how people can eat this type of food to begin with, but especially as part of their staple diet.
WASIX is not even a standard by the Bytecode Alliance, which makes the webassembly specs.
The current U.S. dietary guidelines for americans are quite sound but I am the only person I know who listens to them.
If the meat in question is fish, that is pretty much the Japanese diet, and they are doing pretty well health-wise.
> From the point of view of morality, I'm of the opinion that Russia did it. Even if Ukraine actually pulled the trigger.

Are you talking about the war at large or about the specific question who blew up the dam?

I'd agree with the sibling comment here. In war, morality is always crystal clear for the parties that are at war - we are the good guys, the others are the bad guys. I'd go out on a limb and say this is almost a requirement to be able to fight a war in the first place: If you didn't think you are in the right, how would you even motivate your own troops to risk their lives for your cause?

Usually, when historians look back at the war later, they find the actual morality to be anything but clear.

> if you and your buddy get into someone's house to rob it in the middle of the night, and the homeowner gets his revolver and shoots your buddy dead, and you run out and the police catch you, it will be you that will be prosecuted for murder. You created the situation that led to the end result.

This isn't how it works. In this case, you have two separate crimes - robbery and murder - with two different perpetrators - the burglars and the homeowner.

The homeowner has a good chance that his charge will be dropped as a case of self-defence - but in no way would the robbers suddenly end up with a murder charge against themselves because they are "obviously" the bad guys.

(And by the way, the homeowner might in fact be prosecuted for murder if it turned out there was no self-defence situation and he just shot the robber out of rage.

You can use this to counter the russian argument too, btw: Even if you assume, for the sake of the argument, that Russia was threatened by an expanding NATO and by a militarized Ukraine, is it still "self-defence" to invade - and keep invading - a country, annexing land, attacking power stations and grain storage sites?)

I also cringed at the look of this. I have a bunch of old books I would like to digitize, and most bookscanners I come across require you to at least spread open the book completely, which would, as you say shred them...

Oooh.. Second question in https://linearbookscanner.org/faq/...

I mean on a core level all computers are all equivalent, since they're all just Turing-complete Von Neumann machines. Anything and everything that can be done on one computer can be transformed to achieve the same on a different architecture.
The potential here doesn't just mean different instructions though, it means getting out of ARMs vendor lock-in and for the CPU manufacturers not being forced to pay the licencing fees for the instruction set.
Hell yeah, good for her!
> or needed maintainer time that wasn’t there

That's my experience with bounties: someone does the job because they get paid, not because they have a particular interest in the issue, and then they instantly move on, leaving the submission to rot.

I agree with ZSF here.
Technically it's simple, but I don't think anyone is willing to pay for the required infrastructure. Nor is it going to be used a lot.

My problem with this (I’ve tried it) is that the iOS keyboard still seems to try to guess which key you meant to type. So you hit “o” and it thinks you probably meant “p” and inserts that. Last I checked this still occurred with autocorrect off and made it even worse than using autocorrect.

> software could get locked in to using these custom extensions

the question arises: can such extensions be patented?

we've seen already that APIs cannot get patented (see the Oracle vs Google litigation).

If Qualcomm was to develop a set of extension, but other players in the risc-v space could implement some equivalent that's ISA/binary compatible... I wouldn't see any issue with that.

Am I being too optimistic ?
> Russians who believe this war was started by the West in 2016.

Why 2016? Putin first sent his troops to Ukraine in 2014. So from his point of view it would make sense to convince his citizens he was "forced" to do it earlier, not later.
I think there are 2 dynamics that Andrew Kelley alluded to that Algora / Wasmer could have addressed better:

1. Consulting with the Ziglang leadership before creating the issue that kicked off the bounty. Doing it this way would have allowed them to provide some input on perhaps splitting the bounty, improving the acceptance criteria and other logistical stuff, rather than allow them find out later when the comments were devolving into personal attacks.

2. Splitting the bounty.
Offering three bounties: $2500, $1500 and $1000 increases the likelihood of producing different approaches and rewards skill as opposed to one $5000 bounty that rewards the fastest person, to the detriment of others working on it. The amount spent is the same but the outcome is less of a battle royale.

3. If splitting the bounty is not an option (because the intent is for the high-ticket $5000 on offer to fuel Wasmer’s marketing), then at least more thought should go into how the bounty is administered by working with Ziglang leadership so that it doesn’t create unhealthy competition or at least draw people with the right skills.

It's so weird to me that free school lunches for children are something that is not 100% immediately obvious and uncontroversial and beyond any discussion.

Even in the UK in the 1980s, at the height of ghoulish neoliberal Thatcherism, there was a major controversy when she tried to stop giving free milk to kids in school (milk-snatcher they called her).
