For this anecdote I can provide you with about 20 anecdotes that are the complete opposite in nature. There is no regulation, but does there need to be? Homeschoolers take the same standardized tests as everyone else - that's about as regulatory as it needs to be (and even that's questionable).
If you're going to comment critically on her work, maybe it would be best for you to read it yourself and form your own evaluation? Seems rather odd for you to be expressing this incuriously critical opinion from such a position of ignorance.

This has been on my mind seeing all the regulatory debate around AI/LLMs. CEO's calling for regulation when they nakedly wish to prevent new players from entering the market. The most naked I saw was the call for a 'six month moratorium' that was obviously a request to pause development so that latecomers could catch up: https://www.wired.com/story/fast-forward-elon-musk-letter-pa....
The fact that shell extensions are source code compatible back to 1995 and binary compatible back to 2004 is probably the main reason...

And back then, there wasn't really a strict API for extensions, so they just injected things into random places, and Microsoft, 28 years later, is still supporting that.
What money would be required? Forming a corporation is cheap. The workers already own the capital required--their own skills and knowledge. If they sell organized labor as a service, they don't need to buy the equipment--that's still owned by the automakers (or other companies) that they sell their services to.
π has a finite amount of digits in base π. Why arbitrarily limit yourself to integer bases?

If you can compute a number to any desired precision, then you know its exact value.

And this still has nothing to do with measurement of the physical world. We cannot measure anything exactly.
Our economic system is based on systemic incentives promoting malice. I'm surprised how people aren't more scammy given how greatly it's incentivized.

Large corporations where all human values are made illegal are quite shining examples how humans should operate in our system. This is sadly quite common in non-profits too.
I'm interested as to why it isn't a settled manner. In my experience, H265 files tend to strike really nice compression ratios (in the same vein, after an AV1 transcode, I'm typically left gobsmacked).

The core of most confusion in the "free will" philosophical debates is that the "free will" concept is undefined, and people assume many different unspoken such definitions when debating it.
How held back might science be in an alternate history with one change: a permanently cloudy sky. Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, would all have had so much less purchase on the shape of the universe to build their theories on. So much science depends on the fundamental insights from those models.

We would be a more inward focused civilization, and lesser for it.

Maybe the issue is that we're being too discrete, thinking in terms of absolute predictability or absolute unpredictability.

Ultimately a 50% prediction rate means that you are as unpredictable as is possible, the state of maximum entropy. Any deviation from 50%, towards 100% or 0%, is a state of lower entropy.

You can forget the free will and just consider a fair coin toss. If someone had the ability to always guess a coin toss incorrectly, every single time, then you'd know that this person possesses something absolutely incredible and unique, rather magical. Similarly if they guess a coin toss correctly every single time they would also possess something magical.

It's the person who can only correctly guess a coin toss 50% of the time that is uninteresting, ordinary and possesses absolutely no special or magical insight. But deviating from 50% would require having some knowledge about the coin. A 0% prediction rate would require having total knowledge of the coin, so would a 100% prediction rate. It's 50% that requires having no knowledge whatsoever.
> "A 24" 4k monitor is better than any laptop screen"

Of course it is. But just get a Thunderbolt or USB 4 external monitor, where a single cable charges your laptop and instantly connects however many wired accessories you want. Then you have portability when you need it and a big screen when you need it. Best of both worlds!
Does finished mean it doesn't get updates at all or just no new features?
Because most software today has some kind of communication / network connection and therefore could have security vulnerabilities. If these are not patched then I'd rather not use this finished software.
As a European, the closest you can usually get to this is when an American company decides to take your local custom or tradition and commercialize it without any understanding of its context. As a German the closest approximation is "Oktoberfest" which usually condenses all of Germany into an extremely tourist-y idea of Bavaria, but of course this is hard to even notice anymore because "we" are doing it to "ourselves": a lot of money is made by German companies selling "Oktoberfest" as a tourist-y fabrication.

Now compare that with Hawai'i: instead of locals profitting of the local culture, Hawai'i was a kingdom colonized by the US and most of the tourism is done by mainland US companies rather than locals. The locals stand by as not only their land is sold off to rich Americans piece by piece but so is their culture and heritage. Religious traditions become scenary, sacred symbols become decoration and so on.

It's not immoral to take inspiration from foreign food, music, architecture, dress or traditions and weave them into your own (or even lift them wholesale). But this isn't about an individual act, it's about something happening in a very one-sided power relation where the more powerful side not simply copies the original but replicates it out of context and then (intentionally or non) uses their power to popularize their hollow replica to the point that it replaces the authentic original and that original context is lost.

Much like "racist" it's really more about the predisposition of a system towards emergent outcomes than individual belief or intent.
I'm always amused to read such strong opinions but I also don't know what you're talking about that would be Kotlin's fault.
This was especially true with Apple/Intel thermal envelope, I don't know of any other manufacturer that purposefully ran their CPUs to the point of throttling just to keep fan noise down, and in such thin machines with wafer thin heatsinks for design aesthetics. I think they made the last few gens of Intel they used worse than they were (to be fair Intel did have poor TDP till recent 12th Gen)
My experience is exactly the opposite. Homeschooled kids frequently have to learn how to adult all at once, right as they get dumped into the pool with everyone else to go find a way to make a living.

The most successful kids that I see are the ones who have professional instructors by day and excellent support at home. Not one or the other, but both.
I mean, 'strikebreakers' is also derogatory. 'Scabs' has the advantage that it's relatively unambiguous; 'strikebreakers' usually means scabs, but is also sometimes used to mean consulting companies etc who strategise to break strikes, or, in the bad old days, hired thugs to intimidate workers.

So .. I was homeschooled for a couple of years, in the UK, and had a relatively normal if solitary experience. But that was because my mother was a qualified teacher who'd stopped working, and I was a smart kid. This left me naturally favourable to the idea.

Since then it's become clear that there are basically two categories of homeschoolers: those that want to bring in extra education beyond what the public school system can deliver, and those that want to bring in less education than the public system. Usually in the name of "protecting" them from some information for religious reasons. That's where all the attention and concern is. Because children can't advocate for themselves, especially against their parents.

(The UK had a recent scandal with illegal schools: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/apr/12/ofsted-unc... ; running a school for money - heck, even offering a childminding service for money - without registering with OFSTED is definitely illegal, while homeschooling is legal by default https://www.gov.uk/home-education )

> Your domain name is often your most secure key to your entire online identity, and you want that to be on as a secure legal footing as possible.

No, it absolutely isn't. Domain names are rented from a TLD registrar, someone who literally just controls a bunch of DNS servers and some automated systems that's approved by and has paid ICANN. They can reject your renewal for any reason and there's nothing you can do about it from an ICANN or court perspective. Worse, what walks in domains is money, which is why registrars can sell "premium" domains that aren't owned for exorbitant prices.

Ordering from your own country maybe ups the ante from a civil court perspective if you have money to sue a registrar and the time to go to court for it.

Late reply, but... I'm with you on this one! Reduce/Re-Use/Recycle, washing glass spaghetti jars, etc. What I've come to the conclusion is the following guidelines/rules:

1) "Save _all_ the things!" Yeah, save them, use them, etc.

2) Use it or lose it: I have a space under the sink for washed/clean plastic containers. If that gets too junky, it's time to throw them out in the trash, offer them "free" on craigslist/facebook marketplace, your neighborhood group, whatever.

3) Regularize: we've ended up with strict "use cases" after saving "_all_ the things!". Sour cream containers become waste-grease-buckets for the freezer. Glass spaghetti jars become candy/cookie containers. Peanut-butter-jars become nail/screw holders in the garage.

4) Limit the flow: Once you "run out of space", keep only one or two "on hand" if it's a particular type of jar that you know you will "flow through". Basically you should reach a steady-state of using the stuff you're saving rather than growing your "cache" unbounded. Unless it's a really useful/valuable/unique type of box/jar/product, get rid of it! Even if it's awesome (but unique), probably get rid of it, b/c it'll end up being "the odd one out" unless you have a really specific need for it.

5) re-Regularize: is there a certain type/brand of spaghetti-jars that are soooo awesome, because they fit on a shelf, have the right size opening, etc. etc.? Start consolidating around one particular type (as you "flow through" them) and getting rid of the oddball ones.

6) Front-door, back-door: Put things by the front door if they're going to be given away, sold, donated, etc. Put things by the back door if they're destined for the trash. Make those decisions and then take action on them as you can.

There's a lot of value in saving some of this "stuff" from the waste-stream, and lots of pleasure to have all your other "stuff" organized in solid plastic containers (that you ended up kindof paying "nothing" for)... just don't fall victim to the "save everything", instead know that you can just "stretch out your hand" and grab the things you need _when_ you need them, not _if_ you need them. :-)
I looked at the about page because of your comment, and wow you were right. I've rarely seen such a concentrated collection of "I'm a good person who believes good things" self-pats on the back. Really cringe.
the sustainability of open source projects that are not corporate-backed is, famously, a major issue.

In analogy, if creative production was to be paid by a benevolent patron that doesn't care if the work is then released in the public domain the economic equation changes. But this mode is not how things work at present.

At the extreme end of the spectrum, if every hour I repeatedly posted to Barack Obama's twitter: "NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R NI---R" over and over, would that be speech or misbehavior? At some point, online conduct crosses the line from criticism (speech) to disruption/DOS (behavior).
Pushing forward the state of what software we consider "old Unix standbies" like `cd` and `ls` is part of why I started maintaining my shell-bling-ubuntu repo.

I've said over and over again that I would easily take a 50% salary cut to stay remote if it were the only option. I don't want to "get one over" on anyone, work multiple jobs, or slack off. I just want a square deal that does not dictate my physical location in life.

That is a very good point. If your code doesn't look boring, then you probably doing something wrong.

> I think Valve gets way too much credit. They haven't abused their market position as much as they could have but they did normalize always-online DRM schemes.

Always online DRM schemes were inevitable and even with Steam its ultimately the developer's choice. There's plenty of Steam games where you can just run the .exe from the folder without even having Steam running. And let's never go back to the bad-old-days of needing to download the latest patch from the developer's website.

> CS2 skin trading is also a hive of illegal/underage gambling and scams.

This is not ideal, but back in the day it was RuneScape scams, etc. I'm not sure whether it's actually better to have kids who've been wholly sheltered from gambling until they're 21 then be suddenly allowed to gamble. Ideally, we wouldn't have gambling for adults either tbh, but maybe there's something to the idea of needing to develop in a world where you're exposed to that kinda thing and are more immune to it when older? Or maybe its the other way around. Also kinda rings hollow if we're marketing trading-card games to kids, which are also definitely gambling.

Several times in the last several months I have wanted to contribute to a new Rust codebase to fix bugs or add small features. Every time it's been a real breeze :) I'm finding that while it can be sometimes hard to write Rust code from scratch, if you take the time, the solution you end up with will be very readable and nice to maintain.

I see it as the opposite of Perl. Perl was supposed to be easy to write (but is famously hard to read/maintain), while Rust is harder to write but it very easy to read/maintain.

Is it? When was the last time you saw, say, Coq in the wild? If you ever saw it you can be certain the program is correct, but I certainly have never seen it. Most likely because anyone using it really is still trying to satisfy the type checker.

Clearly type systems live on a spectrum with varying degrees of sacrifices made, with each sacrifice compromising some ability to check for correctness, but giving back some other advantage, improved developer productivity being one possibility.

It is not a question of static typing or not – it is how complicated of a type system do you really need? Even Grug agrees that dynamic typing is not sufficiently complicated for most circumstances, but maybe a primitive static type system somewhere in the middle of the spectrum that helps catch the most grievous of errors (and provides popup magic!) with a sprinkling of automated testing to fill in the gaps where the type system falls short is good enough?

Several of the assumptions in your post are flawed, which undermines your whole argument.

> Cheating is only a big problem in competitive gaming, where there are rewards (status, monetary, or both) for moving up the global ranking

This is untrue, cheating was until recently a huge problem for team fortress 2 which hasn't been competitive for years.

See also the huge cheating problems in the CoD games from the Xbox 360 era, which was before they were competitive outside of small, grassroots tournaments.

> The addition of match-making further prevents the kind of grouping casual players prefer

Players overwhelmingly do not prefer server browsing. Games have consolidated on the matchmaking model because any game without it is dead on arrival.

The biggest example of a game with a foot still in both worlds is Counterstrike, where the overwhelming use of custom servers is for external matchmaking services with stricter anti cheat than Valves VAC.

> Unfortunately, I think companies figured out that pro gamers are where the money is made, so they're willing to screw the majority of the players to streamline costs and hopefully create more wannabe-pros that can be monetized.

Again this is just not true - the revenue and profit of casual games dwarfs competitive games. Check out a recent financial report from ActiBlizzard and see how much money they make from competitive games like Overwatch and CoD compared to their mobile sub company, King.

Pro circuits and pro game modes are advertising expenses, not revenue or profit centers. Arguably the biggest pro game in the world, Counterstrike, makes the vast ,majority of it's money selling lootboxes and taking a cut on skin trades.
