Yes, but that parent has a point: that new LTS is 3 years of support. Which is not that "long term".

We're on .NET 6 now, because it's LTS. But as of today, it has 1 more year of support (1)

.NET Framework 4.8 as an OS component, is actually supported for longer - no end date given (2).

Note that .NET Framework 4.6.2 is supported until Jan 12, 2027 - that's longer than .NET 6 and 7, and maybe 8

I'm in a small writing club and all four of us are trying it. I successfully finished it two years ago with a series of ten interlocking short stories that (surprise!) tell a complete story as a novel by the end.

One thing I notice is that a lot of people use it as a project to just get words out, regardless of quality. They talk about vomit-drafts, and/or just sitting down to write to see where it takes them, to see what the characters will do. I don't think that mindset is very compatible with story forms that requires mystery or twists or foreshadowing. My story this month has that so it's been difficult. I'm at 11,000 words now and we're late enough in the month that it's telling me I have to write more than 2,000 words/day to finish. Soon I'll be past the point of no return, where it will be practically impossible to catch up; I think the most I've ever written in a day is 5,000 words.

Ah well, it was still good motivation, and I'm signed on enough to my concept that I'll probably finish it even if I'm not done on 11/30.
I’m not a skilled enough developer.

I wanted to create a product to sell access to a URL endpoint that provides data. The URL is used within other products, like a SEIM, firewall, dashboard, etc.

I can create the URL endpoint, data, server infrastructure, etc. I also already have enterprise customers ready to subscribe.

However, I’m not skilled enough to create a storefront, auth, billing, etc. I tried finding a solution I could pay for, but it was a rabbit hole of solutions that would not work.
From near the table you linked to:

> the expenditures included for households that heat primarily with electricity in this report would also include electricity used for appliances and lighting

That's not a fair comparison (gaslighting?) unless you use gas lighting, a gas dishwasher, and a gas freezer!

It also doesn't mention what heat pump efficiency is assumed, it just compares electricity "as a fuel" to other fuels, which means resistive heating. Wholly unrealistic for places that need any serious amount of heating per year.

(I was surprised to learn that a colleague in South Africa was cold and couldn't turn on the heater during their winter because they don't have heating installed! A 10€ space heater and some blankets is all they need for heat around there apparently. There, resistive heating makes sense as compared to an expensive heat pump system.)

> I wonder how many of the “college is politically intolerant” opinions are based on actual student dissatisfaction, and how much of that is based on sensational news reporting?

Well, here are some of the findings from a 2021 FIRE report: https://reports.collegepulse.com/hubfs/2021_SpeechRankings_R...

> More than 80% of students report self-censoring their viewpoints at their colleges at least some of the time, with 21% saying they censor themselves often.

> Two in five (40%) students say they are comfortable publicly disagreeing with a professor, down 5 percentage points from last year.

> Two-thirds of students (66%) say it is acceptable to shout down a speaker to prevent them from speaking on campus, up 4 percentage points from last year.

You make a good point that news reporting tends to exaggerate the frequency of sensational events, which includes cancellations. But that's sort of how censorship and chilling effects usually work: make an example of someone who sticks his head up, and intimidate a hundred others.

> My experience from having conservative friends with kids in college is that the kids are mostly concerned with work and having a good time, and the parents are mostly concerned that their kids will develop bad thought patterns.

That doesn't mean the parents are wrong. "Eat your vegetables" and "Engage with your political opponents' views" are both healthy and possibly-unpleasant things, which it wouldn't be surprising if kids didn't appreciate the importance of.

It's not a good look to criticize an org for being careless when you haven't even put bare minimum effort into seeing if they were careful.
It might be somewhat related but Unity and Monogame target very different developer experiences. Monogame is an alternative to low level frameworks like SDL/SFML/etc for C++. It's not a game engine.

The difference is that you get to code most of the engine as opposed to mostly coding gameplay. That's of course a significant trade-off. If you like being low level and understanding how things work and learning a ton then Monogame is the tool to use. If you strictly want to make a game and don't mind ramping on someone else's toolset to "go slow to go fast later" then Unity/Unreal/Godot are the tools.

Monogame shines when it comes to 2D games since 2D games require less specialized engine tools and most of the editors can be made quite easily for a 2D game and will teach you a lot. Don't get me wrong, it's capable of 3D but the experience will be much harder and unstable. You'll be much more at the mercy of outdated open source libraries for things like importing animations from your favorite 3D editor. Conversely, writing a library to import and load your own 2D animations can be done in an afternoon.

The showcase of games built in Monogame echo this with lots of heavy hitters and well-known 2D games and very few well-known 3D games.

It doesn't sound like the author had to google for specific library methods (otherwise they wouldn't have had to think about the problem for a few minutes beforehand). It sounds like they genuinely couldn't figure it out (even given those library functions).

I don't think googling for library methods is a sign of a bad developer. On the contrary, googling for specific library functions instead of hacking something together using general library functions is a sign of a good developer.

That said, at least for python, I personally wouldn't have to google. I use random.choices a few times a year.

Well some numbers expose patterns when written as a continued fraction. In particular e becomes pretty regular.

You can modify the continued fraction slightly to make pi regular as well, but the normal continued fraction sequence doesn't give much of an insight. Other than the fact that 3 + 1/(7 + 1/16)) is a damn good approximation (7 digits, pretty good for something that can be written using only 4 digits total: [3;7,16]).
It's supposedly worth the effort to invest in an analog zettelkasten, to focus on screenless writing, the output of which is to publish.

The natural extension of sit-and-study with one's second brain is a long-form read. It's anathema to the application of the agile, iterative, rinse-and-repeat development cycle applied to books.

We want to support the work of sustained, considered arguments, supported by heavy bibliography and a curated index. These tomes to sit on the shelf, to be read (and read again) in their season.

For the work of a book is that thing which a program is not: accreted code runs itself, stays running, and passes its tests. A book dares to be erased in entries, reorganized, maybe even abandoned, based on its reasoning and research. The book requires its creation, whereas the program simply collects--or resists, as its creator is wont--certain features.

Maybe we could consider the book as a materialized view: it's a render of some backend data, subject to change, but not in its core thesis (else it would be a new book). But change comes slowly, if at all: rewriting and such.

If a book is simply a graph of nodes, expanding into an outline, discoverable, explorable, and cross-referenced--then we are approaching something of a data model or semantic form, something programmatic. But we lose the diction and verve of a specific voice.

Or maybe a book is like the maintainer's dilemma: no one shall care but for its break; no one shall fund it, or read it, or anything except to package it alongside other bundles--with no question for utility, but otherwise just to have it, and what more is needed but authorship? (Well, bills and living.) Then it's silent labor, and marketing (what's that?)

So if a writer desires to write, having no domain but one's own experience, then living is the core input: listening, learning, and experiencing. And the words come out as they will, and it shall not stop, except as the muse sees fit.

Now we have social media and attention currency; we have busy lives and fires to fight; in solitude, to choose between paper scrawls or view counts.

Maybe the thing to do is to keep a journal. Divorce the idea of consumption from creation. Join in some thread spanning civilizations, not just in the next emergent worry.
I agree. Looks like a common automated attack and probably not targeted.
As much as I'm fan of Thinkpad and I hate the idea of buying modern laptop, I don't want to buy a decade-old laptop. I just want a modern-ish laptop with decent CPU and easily-replaceable battery, upgradable RAM and SSD. That leads me to Framework laptop (but it is so much more expensive than buying old thinkpad). Thinkpad T420 is already showing its age and is too slow to run some modern or cpu-intensive apps (I wish it weren't true). Also, eventually ARM cpu might take over the x86/64 cpu, and when that happens, I'd be sad but the T420 would be relegated to running Home Assistant or for playing retro emulation.
I think the parent comment is talking about System.Threading.Tasks.

I might be wrong though.
You're right. They did until recently, but it was bad. Now they seem to have moved attention to creating a great experience in VSCode but some of it may require a MSDN sub (they seem to be making the core experience free, with paid extensions to give more Visual Studio-like features in VSCode).

Well, the market cares a little, it just doesn't care a hire-a-full-time-software-engineer amount.

It'll probably be the people who are already being paid to solve those problems, but who couldn't afford to hire a software engineer for them. They'll be able to automate their jobs without having to hire that person after all.

I'm not saying that chatgpt alone will cause this. I'm saying that if software becomes so easy to make that a vastly reduced set of software engineers can do the same job, then it will get easier for everyone else too, and an economic shift will indeed be upon us.

Can someone shed some light on what happens monetarily to bootstrapped company founders? How many of them are offering personal collateral on loans vs some form of angel investing? I'm finding it hard to square open sourcing something if someone just lost decades of savings or the value in their home, so I'm curious if there's some way they're getting funding for their companies that doesn't ruin them if things like this happen. The tone is also very, "I lost dreams but not my livelihood" in many of these statements and I'm curious how.
> Vscode got where its now mostly because of how extendable it is imo.

Every IDE or "code" editor has had some sort of extensions since decades. _Not_ being extensible is a reason to not being successful.

> Yeah that's my larger point about the guy and the pattern. It doesn't lead to growth. I've seen zero growth whatsoever.

If Chat GPT can solve a problem consistently well, I don't think it's worth the effort to master it.

My examples are regexes, command lines to manipulate files, kafka/zookeeper commands to explore a test environment.

For me it's a big win in that regard.
I am thoroughly convinced the whole anti-car movement, and the lobby to increase taxes and fees on personal vehicles is driven undercover and underhandedly by the car/ride sharing industry. It's unreasonable and nefarious, and pretty much any time a reasonable person posts a counterpoint, they're mobbed by bots and commenters that harass them online. If you get rid of car ownership, there are no longer job opportunities in Uber, because individual drivers won't be able to own cars... Removing the right to own vehicles is a ridiculously silly and deeply undermining & dishonest anti-intellectual argument.

We've reached a point where the anti-car lobby form of marketing has become hostile warfare, just to make people at the top of the scheme rich, and they use the most underhanded methods to push their agenda.

In a crisis, for example, your wife having a baby, or a tremendous hurricane approaching your house, you don't have an option of simply hopping into an Uber, renting a Turo car, Having a fully charged Tesla, or hopping on a bikeshare with your family of 4 and riding for 100 miles to grandma's house in a snowstorm.

The more we lose individual rights to property ownership, or when affordability grows out of our reach, we'll be doomed to a life of terror and constantly rising costs without any ownership, if we invest further in this attitude that ridesharing and that Amsterdam bicycle culture can work everywhere for everyone.

Not everyone has the same abilities and needs in life, not everyone lives 5 minutes from their downtown city job, or somewhere where the weather is always sunny and roads are clean. End fake rideshare dictatorship. Car ownership prices, taxes, insurance, and emissions should also be decreasing, not increasing year over year, while reliability and safety should be increasing. This whole structure is deeply manipulated by people with their own agendas and they need to be properly countered with reason.

These efforts should be geared towards making big industry fix factory, trucks, trains, shipping, and air transport all more clean... That's where most of the pollution in our planet secretly goes unchecked. New cars are more efficient than they've ever been, getting rid of that will mostly fund more diesel busses when EV busses break down (as they often do).

> rather than slapping things that work on top of each other, mindlessly using magic like containers.

I have exactly this problem. I need to run centos7-era binary application on rocky9, and of course, it does not compile on the new gcc compiler in rocky9, and also some libraries are missing/have changed too much.

I was thinking I will run the app in a centos7 container on rocky9 machine, but this creates lots of unwelcome complications and additional work.

I'm not very familiar with Nix, but it seems one could install Nix on rocky9 and then somehow use it to build my application against the centos7 devel libraries. Do you think this is a plausible pathway for compiling and running such an old application? It would be great if I could just compile the old app on the new system and forget about containers.

I love touch screen checkout for ordering fast food and wish I could do it in the drive thru.

We are a family of 6 and each person has their particular wants for an order. Too often when giving our order, things are not entered in, and the order gets messed up.

With a digital entry I can quickly go through and pick things out, and instead of two points of failure (cashier and kitchen) only one place can mess the order up.

Even if it is just me, I know what I want, can quickly browse to the thing I want every day, see other options I can take, and checkout without waiting in line.

And I am an extreme extrovert, but I prefer not to foist my disorder on those that are paid to interact with me.

Hi, I'm both a founder of a successful micro-startup and a Frontend leaning Full-stack Software Engineer looking for a new challenge.

Highlights of my career:

WrumerSound: I founded, developed, and scaled an e-commerce business around Wrumer, a device and app that simulates engine sounds through car speakers. Wrumer has achieved approximately €30k in monthly sales, translating to around 5,000 units sold or €200k in revenue in the past 6 months. More about WrumerSound: https://wrumersound.com

OpenSource: I've implemented features in Yarn, a major package manager with over 60 million downloads. You can see my specific contributions here: http://github.com/yarnpkg/berry/pull/1425.

Microsoft: As a Software Engineer, I have been involved in the development and maintenance of Microsoft Teams, which has exposed me to a myriad of tools and technologies such as Java, Electron, JavaScript (including ES5 & ES6), TypeScript, ReactJS, and CSS in JS.
