> How does this compare to other well-established SSGs (Sphinx, Hugo, Jekyll, etc.)?

Looks like this has a GUI, for one, which is potentially a big selling point for the not-so-technical crowd. I know there are headless CMS tools out there that you can hook up to almost any SSG, but even getting that set up is way too big of a stumbling block for the kind of tech writer who doesn't want to tinker or use the CLI or any of that. At that point you'd probably just opt to use Zendesk or whatever (boo).

> What does this tool offer that would make it worthwhile to switch?

Even with the GUI stuff, I'm also wondering whether there's anything here enticing enough to switch. If your docs are already entrenched in some other ancient tool, it can be hard to get the resources/support to switch even if you want to switch, which many writers may not. OTOH anyone who wants to do docs-as-code probably already is, and the kinds of environments where docs-as-code thrives are the kinds of environments where it's not unreasonable to ask your writers to learn Git.
GA is necessary for commercial aviation. Airline pilots first learn as GA pilots. GA is also essential throughout their career to complete their flying hours, become instructors, and acquire a large range of experience which are useful/necessary for the good stewardship of the pilot profession.
> also think that we must be fair to future generations and to lower social classes

The people who fly most intensely are also in a prime position to fund meaningful carbon offsets, e.g. direct-air capture by Climeworks [1]. Railing against aviation in general is, in my opinion, pure virtue signaling. Arguing for taxing aviation to fund climate mitigation makes more sense.

This is simply dope! I know this comment doesn't add value, but still, Pluto is "only" 4.5 billion miles away from sun at its farthest point and it takes 247 years to loop around the sun.
"In whichever way the legislation is framed, the key issues are that persons who develop the algorithm and the code as well as persons who run or deal with the software within public authorities are aware of the preventive safeguards of legality in the context of automated decision-making, not only of the reactive safeguards constituted by the complaint procedures, and that legal mechanisms exist under which these persons can be held accountable and liable for decisions produced by automated decision-making."
I am not an avid runner or hiker, but I do both occasionally. I find that I am far more comfortable after a day of walking or hiking on level ground if I'm barefoot. However running barefoot on any surface other than sand is painful in both my feet and knees.

I suppose that different activities require different footwear.
No longer, there's a generally certified lead-free fuel available that's rolling out over the next years [1], and on top of that there's fully electric ultralights.

Ad hominem. Not incomprehensible to anyone who reads.

Out of curiosity, what is your opinion on reading books?

The article is congratulatory. But I think it's proxying for intellectual curiosity and attention span.

> What an incomprehensible sentence

Is it the vocabulary? Because it's a grammatically-simple sentence.
As a counterpoint, individual code ownership can be a fantastic model too. It lets engineers specialize and takes advantage of social systems that form naturally anyways. I’ve not personally seen group ownership work well, and in practice, it’s still an individual who knows a given area the best.
I haven't thought about this in detail much before but honestly that "view" the author proposed does look pretty nice.
Though I think that something like difftastic is still a bit better, though I haven't properly integrated it into my workflow.
I don't compare these things lightly. What is disgusting is to ignore consent, to force things on others, and to violate some sacred interiority in the service of base desires.

The gas-pump ads are not as bad as airplane ads, since I could reclaim my right to choose by just walking away and never driving again, but in the later case there are literal restraints involved because I cannot leave the flight. What is disgusting is that "captive audience" is a selling point for marketing "innovations".

I got a love/hate relationship with PDF readers, and I find myself constantly switching from one to the other in hope of a better experience. All I want is to set my own exact colors and to use a hand-tool if I so wish. You wouldn't think that such simple wants should be an issue or, if what you did was making PDF-readers, that it may cross your mind to implement one or two of those.
Because of stock appreciation, they'd need to pay up to 10x what the other company is already paying.

Consider a senior SWE at e.g. NVIDIA making $300k, let's say halfsies split between base and RSU. The $150k RSU grant from a few years ago that still hasn't fully vested is worth $1M now. So even for a 50% increase in nominal total comp, it doesn't make financial sense to switch.

I don't know that anyone can afford to pay their engineers 10x more than the competition, and then also offer a cheaper product with thinner margins.
Same here. Did it once and it saved my life. Point is it was only legally accessible to rich people. I.e. I had to fly to amsterdam pay for pre and post psychotherapy and multi day care. This is so wildly different to recreational use.
VAT only scales with consumption though, and rich people / companies will ensure to keep their purchases inside of their businesses so VAT never applies.

The other one you're omitting is income tax, which is likely why the Netherlands is welcoming these companies - they may miss out on billions worth of corporate tax, but if a company hires people here, that'll earn the state some in income taxes, especially high wage positions.
I disagree. All abstractions are leaky, to a certain extent.

The abstractions in FP circles are only not considered leaky because performance concerns are often secondary, and only correctness is considered.

I has to be a divisor of the frame rate, not necessarily equal. Eg with 30fs in a 60fps screen you will do fine. But with a high refresh rate screen and gsync/freesync on top of that, most probably it does not matter at all because the refresh rate of the screen should adjust.
Interesting tool, but from the first video on the page it looks like you have to write in markdown and then look at the wysiwyg window to see what your output would be like.

That seems backwards to me, if the target is writers. A better tool would let you create in a wysiwyg MS Word-like editor, but save all docs as markdown.

I don't want to have to remember the whole markdown syntax.
I think you mean 4.5 billion miles.
Here's an even simpler solution: Parents parent their children and pay attention to what they do online instead of letting third parties decide what is or isn't appropriate for their children to see, but I guess we've decided to abandon that idea for some reason.

Kids that are clever enough to hack their devices to get around those kinds of restrictions are probably old enough and smart enough to not need the censoring.

Exactly. It's only "natural" if you think dogs, cabbage and corn are natural. I think that's besides the point though. It's fallacious thinking. Wild tobacco is not what you want.

I'm going from scratch with the J-11, it won't run UNIX, my only real "goal" is to have a self-contained unit, something with a bit-mapped display and direct keyboard input, not just a serial port.

Here's a recent Guardian article:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/apr/17/i-stopped-sl...

From the article:

> Horowitz experienced a prolonged antidepressant withdrawal in 2015 that caused intense panic attacks and, he says, even left him contemplating suicide. This personal experience has led the training psychiatrist to become an advocate for reforming antidepressant deprescribing.

> In June 2022 the UK health regulator, Nice, amended its guidance on how to support people coming off antidepressants, acknowledging the severity and length of withdrawal symptoms can vary. Nice encourages slow, staggered tapering over many months, if needed.

> In Australia, the RANZCP guidelines continue to recommend tapering by halving and quartering the lowest dose over about two to six weeks, and acknowledged that while slower tapering might sometimes be needed, it mostly isn’t possible in Australia “as current preparations of antidepressants do not allow for the dose to be reduced by such small decrements”.

There are well documented side effects of stopping SSRI usage that are not related to the original symptoms that the drug is prescribed to treat.

But yes, we all have different experiences, and there are many types of SSRIs. :-)
In defense of the Microsoft-haters, powershell is a fantastic idea with terrible ergonomics. When they first released it I was very excited but, well, it’s just awful to use.

Terrible Get-Finger-Twister -Recurse -Awfully commands, quirky aliases (you can type “curl” but it takes none of curl’s parameters because it’s an alias for Get-WebRequest-Annoyingly or whatever they called it), simple scripting things such as “include file relative to current script” (and not relative to current working directory), etc etc: anything that should’ve been simple and easy was neither.

I’ve stopped paying attention, so maybe they fixed this since then but it really wasn't a very well done system during its first decade or so.
To drive this even further, you can solve the problem of inefficiencies by making energy consumption cheaper or energy cleaner.

Electric cars cause a ton of emissions through increased tire wear, road maintenance and by having much larger wheel-bases[1]. The US has 3x the per-capita emissions of comparable nations and cars are just part of the equation. [2]

A well designed city needs to be compact, use transit and promote walkability. If every Californian uses the $7500 carbon subsidy, then that's a $200 billion handout by the Govt. to promote electric vehicles. Even at American construction costs (which is its own nightmare), that should be enough to make the Bay Area and Los Angeles transit heaven. (with sufficient up zoning ofc).

My hot take is that electric cars & solar walls are the feel good moral-victories of those who refuse to make changes to the fundamentally unsustainable nature of their life-style. (I don't mean you. But a large enough cohort of Bay Area tech people fit this mold).

A few genuine questions

> pressuring the electric company to add storage to the grid

My understanding was that grid-scale energy storage was a pipe dream, and that the base-load issue meant that gas/nuclear were essential to a fully renewable grid. Has anything changed over the last few years ? In the immediate future, electric cars will make the base load problem a LOT LOT worse.

> My solar install

What is the life-span of your solar wall ? Batteries don't seem to have great lifespans, and the use-and-throw nature of it makes me want to prefer a hybrid. At least with petroleum cars, most of it was metal that could be melted and recovered. Is that true with batteries as well ?
> There are certainly things that may be worth trying to protect children from online, like extremely targeted advertising that gets presented like legitimate content.

It's better to block targeted advertising from adults too. Blocking ads for everyone in the household is only going to benefit everyone.
Doesn't the server discarding requests with the timestamp beyond a threshold already do windowing but statelessly?
I hope this update doesn't come with ads and data collection to "improve my experience"
How much is that in metric units?
I used to think this until I learned how our solar system moves around the galactic core. Truth is, space is wild. We're like the equivalent of stone age people standing on the shore of the atlantic looking out wondering if we can make it out there. Except the ground beneath us is also moving through the ocean at fantastic speeds, causing huge waves in our wake.

This is a huge oversimplification by a layperson, but just as ancient seafarers had to escape the currents caused near their shore, we have to figure out how to escape our solar system first, into interstellar space. You're not safe there, but at least you've exited the wake of our sun. Just like we had to exit the graviational pull of earth to reach the moon.

Few things commenters are missing:

1. If you want the protocol to be “stateless” (once the session is established, that is), use a fixed, or allow any, nonce.

1.5: The proposed nonce tracking scheme is naïve but it’s pretty easy to devise alternatives and provide options (store active instead of expired nonces, nonce pool, or counter as nonce) depending on your threat model and security requirements. And sometimes naïve is all you need: if your nonces are session scoped and sessions are short (a session could be entirely ephemeral never hitting anything beyond Redis) then why not keep track of a few hundred nonces.

2. The point of this over cookies is that it is purpose built for maintaining sessions and secure by default. I’d love to turn off all cookies some day and have good sites still work normally.

3. The DH gives you asymmetric crypto meaning session token is never sent over the wire so it improves on the fundamental idea of a session in tue first place. It’s more than just a special cookie jar called websession with sane defaults.
There's a whole niche: DITA CCMS like Tridion or Ixiasoft. Or more pragmatic European CCMS solutions such as SCHEMA ST4, Cosima, TIM-RS or Paligo.
Pluto is 3.7 billion miles away, not "light years". New Horizons probe wouldn't have taken "only" 11 years to reach Pluto otherwise.
Good question.

I think because it reminds me of a stage production the most of all the shorts.

I'm not sure I'm articulate enough to really explain this but the deliberate, stylistic break in reality brings me back to being read stories as a kid. It's like in Princess Bride when the granddad stop narrating to ask Kevin if he's getting too excited.

Or Jim Henson taking off a puppet to break character. He'd just drop that muppet on the table. The listening kids don't care, they can see it's just a toy. When he puts it on his hand again, it comes back to life. That break in the narrative just enhances the effect.

Kids don't care when it's laying limp on the table. They instinctively know it's the story teller that brings it to life.

Wes Anderson does that, over and over, like with the doors opening in a hedge to had props to the actors.

I know that's an affectation, and one that's easy to over do, but Wes Anderson nails it IMHO.

The same can be said for a snarky “please reread…” instead of directly addressing the comments that you take issue with.

And is not the strongest interpretation a friendly tongue-in-cheek rather than a cross-examining demand for you to justify your follow-up question? I know some communities like to use the /s convention, but under that principle it seems redundant to me.
This. Any time I saw a more complex doc work with several editors and reviewers, it was in Asciidoc.
I'm probably missing something here: author says that the split diff doesn't work for him, but doesn't say why.

His ideal diff is pretty much the same as a split-diff but with redundant context removed (context is only on the left, not on both left and right). What utility does he get out of removing redundant context on the RHS of the pane?
That is always bound to happen, even when bytecode is designed from the ground to support multiple languages, eventually one of them ends up winning as it is too much of mental complexity to always keep moving the platform forward with all of them in mind.

Eventually one of them emerges as the main one, and then there are all the others not necessarly having access to everything like in the early days.

One sees this in the Amsterdam toolkit, IBM TIMI, TDF, and more recently CLR, where it seems to mean C# Language Runtime instead of the original Common Language Runtime, since the .NET Framework to .NET Core transition, and decrease of investment into VB, F# and C++/CLI development and feature parity with C#.

The thing that nags me with WASM is how so many people try to sell it, as if it was the very first of its kind.
What the hell is Adobe doing

Probably supporting 100% of the PDF spec. plus addressing all those obscure feature requests that 6 companies in this one very niche industry really really need. Sumatra is fantastic and basically the only PDF reader I use on Windows, but it does have maybe 10% of the features Adobe acrobat has. It is however the 10% that that basically everybody needs.
I wouldn’t describe it in such overwrought terms, but I do agree that going out of your way to dismiss virtually all books suggests arrogance and closed-mindedness. (As opposed to simply not reading books.)

That being said, I’m not sure rejecting all books is particularly widespread so it does feel a bit like preaching to the choir and like sycamoretrees mentioned, letting Atlantic readers feel superior.
It's almost as if almost all public servants in all governments are required not to be political publicly and is written into their contracts.
As I have said - every team is different :)

In response to your first point I guess things really depend on where you store PR metadata and how ephemeral/permanent it is. Some teams store that information in the ticket, some fill implementation notes with change request, some add that to the PR, some discuss in their standup (or similar) meeting.

Regarding 2-3, you are right, I just lumped them all under umbrella term.

Maybe we could use terms like "PR review" and "code review". The former is a shallow LGTM check, while the latter may involve code checkout, poking around, architectural discussions, pair/team programming and so on. In my book they are entirely different beasts and web tools are geared (not without justification) towards the former, where both types of diff should serve the purpose.
The protocol does provide for fallback: if the client doesn’t understand the WWW-Authenticate: WebSession header, it can just choose to ignore it and send a request without Authorization, at which point the server can fall back to a traditional session mechanism.
general aviation today is archaic specifically because of regulation making it impossible to innovate in the space. In the US leaded gas is still used. Relaxing the rules and allowing people to experiment with things such as hybrid electric propulsion gets us much closer to the ideal of carbon free aviation.

Regarding optimization, I always see this in software. People ruining the system chasing 1% improvements and locking in a local optimum by making it harder to perform the design level optimization that actually moves the needle. Imagine your CRUD system is full of selectN+1s and some well meaning engineer comes along and rewrites a bunch of code paths in raw SQL, making it harder to adopt automatic joining.

I’d be surprised if the price ever goes to zero unless the trading infrastructure completely collapses (which isn’t exactly beyond the realms of probability). I imagine that there would be a demand if the price went down enough (and I’m talking to something in the tens of US dollars) from crypto critics who’d enjoy purchasing them from the crypto bulls for the schadenfreude.
