An anualized interest rate far over 250% is easy to find there. However, these are short term loans. In order to see a 250% return on a 250% anualized rate, you need to have your money lent out for a year. If each loan lasts a month, then you need to loan to 12 borrowers. If any of them default, you get nothing.
I created a note-taking app which works in every* browser, with and without JS and CSS, has bookmarklets for clipping, PKI-backed user accounts, completely portable data format, threaded conversations, completely auditable data structure, labeling, queryable with SQLite, web of trust for the user identities, and support for adding and running code.

* Mosaic has issues, and I have not tested on many pre-Mosaic browsers. I've never tested with WorldWideWeb. I've done extensive testing with Netscape and IE. Older versions of Chrome are extremely flaky for some reason, and often don't even run. Most old and retro browsers work, however, including sessions, posting, voting, etc.

Germany in particular has good social security I think?

No disrespect, but count yourself lucky you don't have kids, or are in a developing country where there's no social security and casual work pays just a few $/day, and even 'local' dev jobs not that much more, or have been without any substantial work for over a year, or just missed rent, and are already in debt ... or anything of that sort.

Even then, there would be people much worse off than you.

BTW if anyone has any ruby/rails or even general programming (eg C, basic JS, bit of python, bash, lua/fennel/janet, embedded, 6502 assembler (lol), whatever) or tech work, that could be done remotely across timezones, and doesn't require 6 rounds of interview, or accomplished profiles on the freelancer sites (how is anyone new to those sites possibly supposed to get their first contract?), I have a friend ...

CPython is up to date with one specific Smalltalk implementation in 1987, when an ESP32 has better hardware resources than those systems, what a great achievement!
It's almost like this stuff has nothing to do with fairness, and actually has to do with leveraging your market position to behave anti competitively.
It's not so much religious as political.

Given the tech's potential to eliminate much of our dependance on other people, do we attempt to make it beneficial for all humanity or do we create 'Capital City'?
Large companies which have monopolies or near monopolies (Google with Youtube for example) will unfortunately likely go this way as they can get away with bullying users a lot before they are in any danger of losing market share.

Before the Sharon/Netanyahu/extremist takeover, Israel was serious about peace. But in the last two decades, Netanyahu has seen Hamas as an asset to undermine the PA, block moderates, and eliminate the 2 state option [1,2].

Israel has killed Hamas leaders who wanted to work towards peace [3]:
>> After Israel assassinated Jabari, Reuven Pedatzur, a military analyst for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, reported:
>> Our decision makers, including the defense minister and perhaps also Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, knew about Jabari’s role in advancing a permanent cease-fire agreement. … Thus the decision to kill Jabari shows that our decision makers decided a cease-fire would be undesirable for Israel at this time, and that attacking Hamas would be preferable.

An Israeli government that was actually interested in peace could halt and reverse the settlements in the West Bank, end the apartheid (e.g. military vs civilian courts for Palestinians, different class of citizenships, travel restrictions, prevention from visting Jerusalem's holy sites, etc.), the blockade of Gaza, etc. Treating Palestinians as humans (and not propping up Hamas) would likely go a long way towards undermining Hamas. Most Palestinians already didn't like Hamas - 70% wanted the PA in July 2023 according to the Washington Institute.

The POV character might not speak Japanese, but some viewers without hearing difficulties might, so Japanese-speaking viewers using CC shouldn't be discriminated against. Or the Japanese phrase might be "konnichiwa", which most people would understand. Or it might be a commonly used term, like "Cinco de Mayo". The subtitles shouldn't cop out with [speaking foreign language], but instead put the foreign phrase in the subtitles if it isn't meant to be translated.
You've assumed avoiding prosecution was the aim! I feel it's underwood around the literati that it's trivial to avoid being caught and so anyone who hands over money is doing so for morality or convenience. For most e-books (anything mass-market or academic) the convenience is better for piracy so my suggestion was for someone who didn't want to feel they weren't properly rewarding the author/publisher.
They have a monopoly on selling software to iPhone users. I can't accept that we should treat the software market as an owned component of the hardware market. And yes, that same logic should apply to Google Play devices, game consoles, and computers.
For retirement calculators monte carlo simulations seem like the best way to model risk, but all existing implementations are several orders of magnitude slower than they should be. I made https://james.darpinian.com/money/ to prove that it's possible to simulate a million scenarios in a few milliseconds. You can drag sliders and see simulation results update in real time. Even on phones.

Because I made it for my own use, the UI is terrible. The simulation result you need to pay attention to is the % success at the bottom, which changes as you drag the sliders. The simulation assumptions are reasonable and sophisticated (more so than many existing FIRE tools, especially the use of actuarial tables) but not documented except in the code comments. It would be cool if one of the real FIRE calculators out there with a real UI would implement a fast monte carlo simulator like this. I'd be happy to share how it works.
Since I don't know how to contact you directly ... My comments got rate limited bacause of two or three dumb comments I made over the span of a decade mostly on religious topics. Does the rate limiting get lifted after some time automatically or is this punishment forever?

I tried asking people here but they didn't come up with an answer except to try to ask you.

Absolutely wrong. Infotainment systems in cars these days typically run on Linux, not a hard realtime OS, and are definitely not any kind of safety-critical system whatsoever. There's no need for it either; they're isolated from critical systems on the car, in case there's a problem (and there frequently is).

The feeling these shapes cause I like to call "unresolveable unfamiliarity".

Normally, when a being experiences unfamiliarity, it can resolve it, by gaining additional experiences, knowledge, or simply getting accustomed to circumstances. Even if it never does so, it feels that it can.

But with these interactions, the unfamiliarity is caused by something that a 3D being is physically incapable of becoming familiar with. It, quite literally, cannot wrap it's head around what's going on. Thanks to our intellect, we can mathematically explain, even simulate what's going on, but we cannot get accustomed to it.

Bear in mind that this is only my opinion, coming from someone who knows next to nothing about psychology though :-)

To attack Apple you'd have to attack vertical integration in general more aggressively, not just when it's "unfair". Which Epic won't do because the integration between their games, their engine licensing, and their store is also a key part of their identity today.

I get it but I don't get it. I have seen cog before and respect ned so I assume there are sound uses, but the demo versions are trivial and Instruggle to see how I can use it for more complex cases.

My thoughts are the python code will be most effective if it can read config or access chunks of data outside the source (ie auto-generating fetter setter style stuff). I am trying to see how much is dangerous and how much is trivial or better handled pre-commit

Thanks for making this. I really like it.

I’ve also noticed issues with the time on the watch face being out of date. I’ve also seen the date be wrong.

It’s a pretty serious flaw that doesn’t get talked about enough. Been around for months at least, I got burned in September and ~May of this year.
For those folks, sure. For many others, the location could very well be. You won't know because many people probably only look at job ads filtered by location, so they just ignore any that are in "undesirable" places, whatever those may be.

Well at least it can now be confidently state that Starlink was developed entirely with private funding.

I used to create Xbox Live Indie Games and the CSV reports they produced were full of bugs. However it was possible to clean them up to get the correct results. More of a script I suppose, but I ran it every time I wanted to see look at sales results.
I wrote something on Android a few years back called Reward-o-matic. Basically every time one of the kids did something really good, you pressed a button next to their name and a counter went up by £0.50. At the end of the month that got added to their pocket money as a bonus.

Both the app and the idea worked pretty well.

Over a decade ago, I gathered a simple webpage for our team to look up and use Character Entities in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Unexpectedly, that has become one of the most popular ‘tools & utilities’ amongst all the many things I sourced out in my career. Even today, I find myself reaching out to this in my writings and documentations, scaffolding, etc.

It is not the only shop in town. Vimeo, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram Stories exist and compete with Youtube where their target audiences intersect. Just because you reeeeealy want to watch that particular video that is only on Youtube and you reeeeealy don't want to pay for Premium doesn't change that fact (same as if you wanted some Amazon Essentials shoes that are only available from Amazon and have a very good price doesn't mean there are no other places where you can buy pair of shoes, albeit with arguably worse price-quality ratio).
Not true at all. Read Apple’s HIG it’s all spelled out there. Some apps deviate from this but that isn’t the fault of iOS. Instagram on android is just as bad.

Yes, but what saves us from that is there will always be a class too poor to afford any of that and nobody wants to subsidize them getting access to it. They are significant enough that we must continue to support the old methods and technologies.

I created several. The most recent: an Android app that lets you navigate any map, e.g. the one you just make a picture of: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.vanderplank...

I use this one myself: we like to take walks, and not always are the routes marked that clearly. Still only a handful of users, but usefull I guess for anyone that wished that e.g. Google maps made it possible to upload a picture to be laid upon the background map.

Earlier apps:
1 - the UNofficial Prezi Player app. Used in 56 countries, it relied upon a hack to be able to play a prezi on an Android phone or tablet. Was quite succesfull, untill of course Prezi made an official Android app of their own. (Actually: demonstrated it to Prezi and they asked nicely to make sure no one would think it was official)

2 - a ‘fixer’ of Prezi’s. This was in the time that Prezi’s could become ‘corrupt’ as one of the elements was to small such that the code would give a ‘divided by zero’ problem. I fixed a lot of these errors by hand, before I made a (paid) service, and before that a java program that fixed this by going into an XML file, finding the smallest item, and enlarging it.
(Am very happy with Prezi by the way, was invited (but declined in the end) to join them for a hackathon in Budapest, was made their first ‘prezi champion of the month’, and they gifted me a life long licence for their software).

3 - I do have another app - LetsDoThis - but this one is different: it did not scratch one of my own itches, but that of my eldest daughter: she wanted to ‘swipe’ away choices like one can on Tinder. This app never really went of (my daughter did not come through on her promise to market it among her fellow students;-0

(Edit: added ‘1’ ‘2’ etc)
The Smarter Every Day video unfortunately is not an authoritative video on Artemis and misses the point on several parts. It's largely a rehashing of very old arguments that basically views Apollo as somehow the height of technology.
This approach is sometimes referred to as literate programming.

Emacs's org-babel package implements it for a variety of languages but only within org-mode files (.org).

You might be able to find a 3rd party package/script that works for you or you might find it easy to write/modify existing scripts depending on your particular use case.
Think about it like this. If I redistribute a BSD licensed piece of code released by the OpenBSD project, I have to include a note saying that "this product includes code from the OpenBSD project". If I allow others to redistribute my code, I still have to require those others to include this notice. I can't take the OpenBSD project's code and redistribute it under a license that says "you don't have to give any attribution".

However, as the copyright holder, the OpenBSD project can decide to relicense their code under a new license that says "no attribution is required". They can even do so selectively: they can sell you code under this license, but keep distributing the one with attribution required to others. The provenance of a copy of code becomes important in these cases, since different copies may have different license terms attached.

The MySQL project was doing exactly this before the Oracle acquisition, this is not a theoretical idea. You could get the code for free under the terms of the GPLv2 (or 3?), or you could buy a commercial license from them that allowed you to redistribute the binary with any modifications without sharing source code.
Ok, just wanted to say I had no idea click.CLIRunner was a thing - going to try that today for my own test suite

but this shows me a style Indid wonder about - cog is importing other python code (inside the package?) to do its thing. Makes more sense than attaching to C++ code I think
