The issue is the language gets more complex over time. The origin of the discussion was the statement Rust is just as complex as c++, which is completely wrong. Rust changes in small increments and even when they decide on a new edition that can break compatibility, it still barely changes.

Note that this also includes land used to grow food for animals. So if you drive past a field of wheat, there's a high chance it's going to end up eaten by a cow.

Even if we see things as charitably as you outline (and well done for that) the contract could be a "portion of the ticket sales up to $X total."

I don't blame Booz for that (entirely). Somebody else had to sign that contract, too.

But if I'm going to lay into Booz, I have to look in the mirror myself. I have worked for employers that charge as much as they can get away with in a market that wasn't exactly fair. When incumbents spend almost unbelievable amounts to build a functioning legislative mote, then exploit that for all it's worth, you could call that "good business." And you can rationalize by saying, "If I don't, somebody else will, so it might as well be me who benefits." But the excuses seem pretty flimsy when historians catalog the damages.

Still, the biggest blame goes to the other signature on the contract.

I do definitely think temporal is a good product, and I hope my original comment didn’t come across as overly negative. I also only have production experience with the go sdk, so maybe some of the pain points are less relevant in other languages. The main thing is that in order to accomplish all of the things it does, using temporal effectively adds a second runtime to your application. A runtime that most developers in your language of choice are not familiar with and, at least in my experience, has a fraction of the documentation.

I’d still definitely recommend temporal if your use-case involves long running workflows. I’ve just seen a decent number of developers viewing temporal as some sort of silver bullet but, as always, there are trade offs.

In the late '90s, I really wanted to learn how to make a computer game. Our family's only computer was some kind of Power Mac. I managed to find my way into a basic copy of code warrior (because it looked like a programming tool based on a computer catalog). But we only had dial up internet that had to be used with permission because it hogged the phone lines. And nothing built in to the manual really explained enough to do much besides some basic stuff involving printing characters to the screen, and some keyboard input. If the manual had any kind of tutorial sufficient to make snake or even just a really bad version of asteroids or galaga or something I'd probably have never put down the keyboard. But instead, I kind of lost interest because I assumed I was missing something you needed to make graphical programs. Another barrier was that what internet time I did have mostly lead to Windows stuff. Not that I really knew how or what to look for.

The first program I was ever able to write that involved things actually moving on a screen came a couple years later and was written on my graphing calculator. Solely because the calculator came with a big manual that documented all kinds of functions you could use in a program. And so long as you were writing only a few pixels at a time its built-in basic language was just barely good enough.

3 people in the car should be free in all circumstances.

2 people in the car should be free sometimes, but pay a very small fee when the road is very congested.

1 person should always pay a fee. Sometimes small, sometimes large, depending on traffic.

0 people in the car (in the case of autonomous cars) should always pay a phat fee.

This is the only thing that will prevent driverless cars from ruining our awesome road infrastructure in America. If we don't do this, driverless taxi companies will have cars polluting and congesting every public road trying to be capture a ride until they're clogged and useless.
I don't want to poop all over someone else's project (hell, it's hard as hell to do anything like this), but I have to say that this feels like exactly what you said, a React/Vue/etc. alternative. But that is absolutely not what I want and not what I think will do people the most good in the long run.

Another project that largely ignores that custom elements and Shadow DOM are readily available on every modern browser (including the ones on your phone) and instead chooses to "simulate" components instead is... short sighted.

I crave something that attempts to fill in the missing pieces between something like say Angular and Lit. Give me something that treats a Web Component as its underlying tech for components but offers good support for animation. Something that comes with simple support for migrations (Ala Ruby on Rails) but doesn't include a ton of tooling for CSS that is not really needed anymore (I'm looking at you React) or was created before JS Modules and is still not making good use of them (ahem... Angular).

So, if someone is still stuck in React land, maybe this will be what they are looking for, but for someone keen to use what is built into modern browsers for speed and smaller apps, this seems like something we should pass on.

Has Wayland adoption really been so slow because of technical reasons, or because of its developers and advocates observably abysmal social skills?

Edit: I know that could kind of sound incendiary, but let's consider the facts. We're talking about a project that has been competing with a dead competitor for 15 years and is still struggling to get mainstream acceptance. There's something seriously dysfunctional going on.

Does nVidia specifically de-optimize (read: handicap) GeForce drivers for certain applications?
It's already possible to do this, though with numerous, onerous restrictions (that I'd advocate against, obviously). For example, if you wanted to own a functional RPG launcher, that would be an NFA-registered DD, and each explosive projectile would be a separate additional NFA tax stamp. You'd also need an active FEL (Federal Explosives License). There's numerous other conditionals that apply, e.g., you wouldn't need the latter for inert projectiles for your RPG, or if the explosive charge was less than 0.25oz.

Are you sure? I was in the USA recently, and the Dunewood Campground (Indiana Dunes National Park) had signs explicitly stating that there was no in-person booking, but that recreation.gov was the only way to book sites.

Later I looked at Lake Erie State Park (New York), and they said that reserveamerica.com (or RA’s call centre) was the only way to book, no walk-ins permitted, and then the quoted $15 fee for their cheapest sites ballooned to something like $27.60 due to a reservation fee, an out-of-state-person fee, maybe some taxes…
Open Invention Network
The general purpose algorithm that’s not necessarily the fastest but has an upper bound worst-case runtime:

1. Pick a paper in the field ~at random.

1b. If it’s basic enough for you, you’re done

2. Read the first few paragraphs and find the most basic statement that is cited

3. Find the cited paper

4. Go back to step 1b

Occasionally you’ll hit a book as the citation, in which case you must backtrack to take a different branch of the tree and try again.

In theory this is worst-case exponential, but in practice most searches end quickly

Homicide rate doesn’t actually have much to do with population density. Boise has a population density of 2,800 per square mile and similar homicide rate to the state as a whole.

If you want to deal with date/time properly, then you will need a separate field for nanoseconds anyways, in order to deal with leap seconds; in such a case the number of nanoseconds can exceed one billion. In such a case the nanoseconds can fit in 32-bits and you don't need 64-bits; only the seconds is 64-bits and nanoseconds is 32-bits.

It's easy to get emotional about this. But when I try to be fair, I acknowledge that "little-to-no ongoing service" is probably not completely accurate.

There are storage systems, databases, app servers, etc. that all need some degree of constant care. I don't know what the scale or structure of those systems are, so it is difficult to say what that cost should be. Perhaps it qualifies as "little". It almost certainly does not qualify as "none".

Of course, the hardware and the labor might already be included in the taxes I pay. I don't know that either. I wonder how much work it would take to sort out all the different sources of revenue Booz has from this.

I dare any coffee drinker to blindly try their coffee with a crappy grinder, and compare to their $200 carbon fiber whatever. You wont detect the difference. I once looked into someone’s reddit account who was repeating this - and found that they were selling grinders elsewhere. Must be awesome margins.

This is an interesting book that is organized like an encyclopedia. It feels comprehensive, but the feeling you get from reading it is something just short of understanding the world portrayed within. It has mastered a balance between something bizarre and something beautiful.

> And perhaps a wasted life too.

I don't disagree with you completely, but I do disagree slightly. The biggest part of what bugs me about the article is the assumption it makes implicitly that there is some external arbiter of what is good and bad.

The only person whose opinion of whether a life is wasted that actually matters is the person living it. We can hold opinions on whether another person's life is wasted, but it doesn't matter. We don't get to decide that. If they find joy in something I would hate, they should do it. My opinion doesn't matter.

That's the basis of why I think the article misses the mark. There is no right way or wrong way to 'use your education'. Each person gets to decide how to do their thing, and to decide whether they are succeeding or not. Success to me might look like failure to you (we may be measuring different things with different value systems).
I agree it's "not Booz's fault". That's the point of honest graft. It's the fault of our government for allowing them to have so much control over these junk fees.

RIRs oversee all IP ownership changes, and will generally not approve them unless they satisfy a documented technical need. So far, this has (mostly) prevented people from financializing IPv4.
I actually went through this process with ARIN. So I can give you that perspective. It wasn't a big deal, the only minor concern I had was it felt like you're encouraged to sign up under a business entity. I had an LLC, so it was natural just to use that. I don't know what kind of vetting they do if you decide to use yourself as an organization though instead of a different legal entity.

You need to provide justification, and frankly it's not that big of a challenge to get a /22 which is what I got. As long as you can show how you would like to use them and over what time frame, they will allow you to go through with the acquisition. An ASN is not required to get any IP block. You can always associate your IPs with any ASN that you want so long as that ASN owner is cooperating with you. I went ahead and grabbed an ASN for ease but some ISPs will allow you to use their ASN.

You also do not have to purchase an IPv4 block from someone. You can go through the normal IPv4 request process, however the waitlist [1] is now over a year long for IPv4. However IPv6 are given out very quickly. IPs you acquire this way are "free" to acquire with your ARIN membership. Your membership dues are determined by the assets you hold, there is a fee schedule [2] and you need to pay it annually to maintain your membership and ASN/IP assignments.

I encourage anyone interested in understanding this process to go through it, it didn't take a ton of time nor did it cost a lot in the grand scheme of things. Being an ARIN member also entitles you to be a part of how IPs are governed in the region you acquired them in. They will occasionally send out surveys and you can vote on issues.
