The overall treatment of children, especially teenagers, in society is absolutely shocking. Literally they are like slaves. As a child, the family can be the single most tyrannical thing we will ever experience in our lifetimes. It can be a mini totalitarian dictatorship if you are unlucky to have bad parents.

In 100-200 years time from now people will be talking about this, just as we look back to barbaric times in the past now.
That one was just a test on a VM.
Huh? What's the point of html version if you define it as source of deception?
It's a factual and verifiable statement though, no need for an ad-hominem based on... what exactly?
It makes you optimize for different things which is why I prefer it to Factorio even if the tech and crafting tree is less developed.
Sure. And you will transfer no entropy, so this cannot be used to cool the Earth.

SF authors (like David Brin) have screwed up on this very topic.

Lasers can be used for cooling, by shining a laser on a target carefully set up so that anti-Stokes scattering carries away entropy. The light scattered is quite incoherent, though.
I wrote it, but no, I did note the date and I didn't assume it.

It would be really good if projects actually documented what they do better, but as a former tech-docs writer for 2 software & 1 hardware company, I know very well that there's never the money and it's usually an afterthought.
> commercial non-OSS with a perpetual license at least means you can keep using an old version as long as you can manage

That's what hucksh has. Today's license will work with today's code (and code released in the next year) forever. Sorry if that was unclear.
The moon. It's closer, it has pre-made internal cavities, it's far easier to evacuate if something goes wrong (a catapult and a few days travel vs a rocket and months of travel).

Also, we can actually get there. This Mars colony is in the realm of fantasy, when we don't have a means of getting astronauts there without dying of cosmic-ray cancer on the way. In contrast we've put a man on the moon. Multiple men. We know we can do it, which decreases the necessary scope dramatically.

I don't see a good reason to set up a colony in the first place, but the least-bad option is very clearly the moon.
This is great and I quite enjoy it. I would love the ability to create multiple cursors from a selection (within a block of course). Intelij (and others) have a hotkey like Ctrl+G to add another cursor at the next instance of a word and Ctrl+Cmd+G to select all instances of a word. That's something I do in IDEA's scratch pads constantly but I'd like an ever-running note of what I'm doing divided into blocks.

Also it would be awesome to have some metadata on each block that is toggle-able (or just inserts as text) so I can have the current date/time added or shown.

I was pointing out that outdoor CO2 ppm vary significantly, and we are at ~420ppm not 410ppm which was quoted earlier.

Also, outdoor ppm increases indoor ppm which is within the range being studied so talking about cognitive decline from ongoing carbon emissions is supported.

Low quality/trash article. I wasted a few minutes of my time so you can save yours.

>Ten years after Elon Musk unveiled the white paper for the vacuum-tube transport system he dubbed the Hyperloop, it’s time to drive the final nail into its coffin.

Opens with Elon Musk jab for the clicks, meanwhile a few paragraphs down

>To be clear, Hyperloop One is not associated with Musk himself.

Nice, top quality post.

>The technology was never really meant to go anywhere. Its main goal was always to stop a better transport future from being realized.

Conspiracy theory take, I'm probably going to get a lecture about how shitty city buses and 100 year old metro trains are better

>In the early 2010s, there was a big debate around California’s plan to build a high-speed rail line from Los Angeles to San Francisco, with further extensions to San Diego and Sacramento to follow. Naturally, conservative, automotive, and airline interests were vehemently opposed to a technology that Japan and Europe had been living with for decades arriving on American shores because it threatened their commercial interests.

More conspiracy theories, meanwhile californias (not-high) speed rail system is insanely over-budget and behind schedule.

>Elon Musk, as an automaker and (let’s be honest) somewhat of a conservative himself, eagerly adopted the arguments against the bullet train with his own spin

Yes, because a slow train for tens of billions of dollars is going to magically transform the world into a carless bike-transit utopia

>with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher in 2013, calling it, “the slowest bullet train in the world and the most expensive bullet train per mile in the world” — and that meant it not only had to be opposed, but that the geniuses in Silicon Valley could surely do better than people who actually had a clue about trains and transportation.

All of this is true, note that he has zero rebuttal to these facts. Instead he resorts to deflection.

>hat figure was immediately debunked by people who actually understood what went into building that kind of infrastructure, with the real cost estimated around at least $100 billion, even though it would have far less capacity than a high-speed train.

Zero sourcing for this claim, meanwhile california's low-speed train project is going to deliver inferior results for $88-$128B

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/17/why-californias-high-speed-r....

Seems like the tunnel + hyperloop would have been a steal at "just" $100B

>And that was the point. Musk never had any intention of building the Hyperloop. He only needed it to help kill or substantially delay the high-speed rail project and the alternate vision of sustainable collective transportation it offered.

What a complete joke of an article, nothing was killed. Nothing was "substantially delayed" due to Musk or anyone else speaking about hyperloop. This article is a pathetically transparent attempt to rewrite history and transfer the blame of californias systemic failures on... some news articles?

MMT is basically modern day heliocentrism - objectively correct, but threatening to established wealth and power structures and therefore Wrong.
I always have a text editor open for notes and snippets like this. This sounds like a perfect replacement. Tabs would be a very nice addition.

I believe plans in this case would be a description of how these problems would be handled not pictures showing where the tracks would go.
I just feel like a genuinely smart and rational person would not want to describe his newborn kids as "engines" or robot AI's in training as OP does here. That's just ridiculously out of touch, it reads like satire of what some AI-obsessed founder or VC might post here to pitch their new startup. And OP has even written satire of his own about SV social attitudes, how could he possibly fail to see this?
If we are willing to count 'built' as companies already going before he arrived, then we can also throw in Tesla, Paypal, and Twitter as well.

You stopped short: why did they get more competitive? Because demand is outstripping the supply of desirable schools. Second tier schools need to improve their offering, and burnish their prestige, which takes time.

That sounds fine, if there is no corporate spyware inside.

That has more to do with gaming than with software engineering, doesn’t it.
I'm imagining that it would be something like if Cirque de Soleil was trying to kill me.

I wrote and submitted the Register article.

I am a long-term Mac user, sure, but I am not a "die-hard" one and my normal role at the Reg is as the Linux guy.

As an example: I am typing on the MacBook Air I used right now. It has a horrible keyboard and a poor trackpad, not enough ports, is not nearly repairable enough, and I would never spend my own money on one of these things.

Certainly, there's nothing "wrong" with that, but it does lead to specific scenarios, especially in cases of layoffs, where one could be in a position to not have a job or a computer to use for maintaining resumes, taking virtual interviews, etc. When I was laid off in 2022, there were several people that were panicking about that very fact.
>I think it's a sad state of affairs when someone simply puts an idea out into the world and says "We think it will work, but needs more input" and people get extremely angry and spew vitriol and hatred towards them simply for sharing an idea.

I was open minded, until I read the white paper.
It didn't work last time. What makes you think it'll work this time?
>It seems quite clear that Musk dislikes public transport. He's publicly stated that he thinks it sucks and is inconvenient.

A _lot_ of people share this sentiment, especially in America. I've said much of the same, and I don't own a car company or benefit from them.

OK, let me be very precise, then.

The vast majority of ads are supported by and come with tracking. Sure, there exist sites that do ads in a way that isn't so intrusive, but they're an extreme minority. It's also hard-to-impossible to tell if a site is tracking you or not.

So long as more than a tiny number of sites use ads that involve tracking, it's necessary to treat all sites as doing so.

Right - not sure tabs is the right metaphor. I definitely want the ability to keep some blocks around, put them aside, return to them later...

Maybe a block 'tagging' mechanism? Let me 'stash' a block and label it with tags... then later on I can 'restore' stashed blocks by searching for tags. Or open a new window easily containing every block that shares a particular tag?
Just look at how much health care has improved since then though; back in 1800, while the existence of bacteria was known, their role in infections and the importance of sanitation wasn't known or acknowledged until 1859, and doctors only started to sanitize their hands in 1870. Interesting factoid is that they learned this from midwives (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis).
The x86 ecosystem is just as messy. It's just being kept together thanks to decades of work of correcting quirks and workarounds for crappy hardware.
The buffer file has a syntax for the block separators, but it's human readable. Here's what it looks like:

This hasn't been happening in the US overall, and the reason may be the prevalence here of fixed rate mortgages. The number of houses on the market is way down, though -- people don't want to move if it means getting a new mortgage at a much higher rate.
> Most ISPs I've encountered (various places in the USA) do allow port forwarding or even replacing the ISPs router with one of your own.

In the United States my entire life I have always been able to port forward when necessary, though I've only been on two or maybe three providers. I also would help friends in middle and high school port forward so we could connect to their game servers. Many providers seem to try to make it as hard as possible, attempting to lock down the interface behind a web panel. This can typically be bypassed by finding the real panel address locally or by getting a new router that isn't locked down. Growing up it was extremely easy, my provider didn't try to make it difficult, but now there is often a barrier to entry for people who desire to casually tinker with their network setup, which is unfortunate.
If you're talking about the Reg article, I did make it clear, and it only supports dual-boot for now.
great application and something i didnt ask for but needed somehow ;)
Sometimes i have to quickly write something down for the reasons you stated.
Then i have to open a text editor like Windows Editor or Notepad++. These are nice but they really don't have the feeling to write things down. You have somewhat of an anxiety that you'll lose that data if you forget to save it. Also there is no vim support and stuff like that.
So i really liked the idea and would definitely use it if it gets vim support!
Also one thing i realized is that the cursor starts at the bottom of 'the note' or whatever i should call it. It would be great too if i got the cursor position where i left it when i closed the app. Also on Windows there is a black bar on the top which should be removable i think looking at obsidian and other js apps. Whatever these are just some small things and im sure they'll get fixed soon. Thank you for the great application and i hope it succeeds!!

You can but the reason it sticks with Musk is that he is a con-artist and engages in con-artistry, the most important indicator.
DINK life. I can’t understand why people consciously decide to have children. I really can’t.

It is only possible to dual-boot, for now.
A few suggestions: On Macos a menubar item would be nice to pop the app up. Also, expanding the Language set to include bash and a few other common languages would be ace. Finally, if you remove the canvas background or set it to the same as the app background color, it will eliminate the white flicker when you resize the app window. If I get time, I may take a look and put in a PR.

Tesla's stock was overweight before it was able to turn a profit. The company nearly went bankrupt according to Elon himself before they could turn the corner. It was a big IF on whether Tesla or anyone could produce electric cars at volume or at a profit even while the valuation was sky high. No matter how bullish you are on electric cars (which I am) or Elon, it was a speculative investment and that is not something that Warren does. He is a value investor. He freely admits he has missed a lot of opportunities because of that and there is a strong argument to be made that his era of investing is over or at least not present at the moment.

And Berkshire invested in Zoom, which was probably a Charlie Munger decision; not Warren himself. Charlie loves Zoom. Warren hates Zoom as he explains in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJImdZEgghQ
You'd be surprised. But the reason that makes the Houthis quite effective, also makes them quite resistant to control. Iran can arm and guide them but they probably have little to no control on things on the ground.

Analyzing a Bank Failure with Colab
the author's motivation is likely to expose bad man Elon Musk

I remember like six or seven? years ago when I used to be active on reddit I was on a sub called r/enoughMuskSpam. At the time this was kind of a fringe view. It is less so now, partially due to work like this (and partially due to Musk's own, very public stunts)

I don't understand the point of this question in that you could ask it of almost anything.
I sometimes wonder what got me into servers as a kid. I guess part of it was that the internet and open source were new, and it seemed like to be a "seed" in the network, rather than a "leech," you needed a server. Plus I had already gotten into building PCs, which is to say, just assembling and disassembling cases, motherboards, and parts. So maybe for my teenage brain it seemed like having a server made you part of some secret internet club, and used a skill I already had.

Around the year 1999, I was fortunate to literally have access to my Mom's basement with adequate power and a dedicated DSL modem with a static IP. Which was a total stroke of luck, that a small Seattle ISP called Speakeasy was willing to set that up, even though I was all the way in a suburb of New York. I guess I was part of their "nationwide expansion plan."

I was 15. Once the house got this static IP and a fast enough uplink (I remember it being 1.5 Mbps down and 768 Kbps up -- that was enough!) ... I felt compelled to make good use of it. So I would cycle through old desktop PCs and use them as servers.

In 2004, I was away at college but still had access to that wired basement. Using some money from summer jobs and odd jobs during the school year, I bought a 1U rackmount server off eBay to store there as a Linux server, and this let me set up a small array of hard drives in it. The static IP let me do remote development via SSH as if that basement were a colo. My biggest issue is that I had no monitoring for power and WAN uplink.

I still have a record of the specs: Intel Entry Server
Platform, P4 2.8Ghz, 1GB of RAM, two SATA hard disk slots, and built-in dual-NIC (one 100Mbps and one 1000Mbps), which I managed to get for around $600. I then managed to find two 250GB drives to put in there. I ended up using that server as my web development platform from 2004-2009.

I also remember one summer where I did remote development over the LAN on that server, working from my desktop development machine (also Linux) via the 1000 Mbps local LAN port, which felt like living in the future. I was using sshfs and NFS and the like to test code directly on the web server and turn over web app releases to the client for review. This was 2005.

After which I eventually found cheap colo and cloud options. Funny enough that static IP DSL line was in my Mom's house until she sold it in 2012. Thanks for all the fish, Speakeasy!

p.s. there's this fascinating 2002 article still available describing Speakeasy and giving a little vignette of late 1990s Dotcom 1.0 history, where people who ran a popular internet cafe in Seattle could fancy themselves telecom executives! https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20020703&slug...
