Tangentially related to the main discussion here, but what level of reputation do Martin and Marc deserve. Technically they did found the company, but they weren’t instrumental in making it a household name, especially since they were fired long before it reached its breakout success.

Even if you don’t like Musk, attributing Tesla to them is silly. Roadster, Model S, Model X made Tesla a niche luxury car company (and they both were only involved in the Roadster, the least successful car of the 3) Model 3 and Y made Tesla one of the world’s most valuable companies, especially model Y turning out to be the best selling car in the world in all categories this year. There are tons of engineers, designers in Tesla that you can attribute its success to without going back 20 years to attribute Tesla to Martin and Marc just to spite Musk. Joe Straubel, ex CTO who has been with Tesla since its earliest days is one example. In fact Tesla’s worst days by far happened during ramping up model 3, where it went extremely close to bankruptcy during mid 2017-2018. The founders had no role in pulling them through this or Teslas subsequent journey from being the most shorted stock in the stock market to a 100X increase in stock price in 2020. Which is why I find the talking point that Musk didn’t really found Tesla to be silly, Musk was heavily involved when Tesla actually became a company everyone’s talking about, it doesn’t matter whether he founded it or not.

> the go command by default downloads and authenticates modules using the Go module mirror

Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly but it sounds as google will be able to see every dependency for every project I ever work on.

This is the second time Go adds something that can be used to spy on developers. Obviously they pinky promise to not abuse it, by why does this eventually happens to every Google product?
Well, they pretty much announced this months ago. The cycle continues as usual.
> but man this is one of the most "doomed to fail" things I've ever seen.

It will. I don't know which VC did the due diligence but the CEO once founded a scam company called RavenTech and the CTO just dropped out of CMU.

They used to be called CyberManufacture Co. and was selling NFTs. You see where this is going?
Absolutely correct.

> As I understand it, it's not even really possible today to make WebAssembly do anything meaningful in the browser without trampolining back out to JavaScript anyway, which seems like a remarkable missed opportunity.

It was always the goal for WebAssembly code living in the browser to have some form of object model/DOM integration, and interaction with JavaScript objects. What form it would take exactly wasn't clear. But that was never a goal for the original 1.0 specification (MVP), and not even in spec for the current 2.0 draft -- which mostly add a bunch more useful instructions and features, but nothing earth shattering.

The reality is that whatever solution gets accepted has to be supported and continue working for what is effectively ~infinite time, in multiple major browser engines. For custom runtimes it's sort of "whatever", but webpages can live forever so it's taking a lot of time to get right. But there was clearly a lot of value to be had without that, hence 1.0 was the "MVP."

Checking nixpkgs now, it looks like the entire suite of Jetbrains tools are well-supported (except for the newest one, Fleet, since it looks like the people who tried ran into some issues they didn't know how to solve), as well as VMWare Workstation.

Coming from Arch, almost every package I want is on NixOS. The couple I can remember that weren't there are Android Studio for Platform (I packaged it myself following the derivation for the regular Android Studio), Obsidian.nvim (which was packaged a week or two after I mentioned it), and there's been a couple smaller tools that I can't remember.
Yes, because you get revenue from a plane that is "potentially" going to be grounded, and you don't get anything from sitting around.
You know what is a sign of a good neighborhood?

When you are comfortable approaching a stranger in a parking lot with a quarter in your hand, saying "Hey, I'll take that cart, no need for you to return it".

An even better sign is when that stranger declines to take the money and just asks you to pay it forward.

I've done both several times, in rural areas and big cities and have seen others doing the same.

The generated girl was white, the actual victim black. Also - after skimming another article - it seems that the child was killed with a knife first and only then was the body put into the oven, maybe in the hope to get rid of the body.

This has a lot of overlap with the volunteer work I do. It's a charity for people with autism

Once or twice a month me and a colleague gather and a couple of people are invited to talk about themselves, their lives and usually their problems. We have no professional experience, the only requirement is that you're "familiar" in some sense with the problems and/or life of people with autism.

Practically all we do is listen, and guide the conversation when it doesn't flow naturally. We're not bound by any therapeutical distance guidelines, we're allowed to become friends with visitors if it makes sense or if we wish to do so.

It is in a group setting, so it's not one-on-one like the tea monk. We do serve (very basic!) tea and coffee though.

Most of the time, visitors leave feeling better :)
The rama-demo-gallery example is distributed, and it's also tracking incoming/outgoing transfers for each user.
You are making a charicature of what I am saying.
But to answer your question: Because quality thoughts are collected in the works that the humanities study. To say that you can and will have these quality thoughts by yourself - by winging it - is quite arrogant.

There are many works that find new ideas or are really thorough, combing through the breadth of human experience.

It is useful for people to spend their lives analysing these concepts and ideas. Their discourse can then be synthesized into new thoughts that will shape our societies. Do you think the laws you live by, the governmental structures, the way people treat each other, the structures of our societies would be like this without the studies of the humanities?

Any insights on this?
You are right, but...

You get a coupon payment every 6 months for 10 years and you have to do something with that money. It can have a compounding effect if you aren't just spending it on beer and Cheetos. So for most people, the interest does compound - just not directly.

Yeah, I use a Linux machine at home, but being able to get my work-provided Macbook up and running with an identical Neovim & ZSH setup almost instantly, without having to figure out how that would all work on MacOS (in terms of package installation, changing the shell, etc) it's super awesome.
For other people in this situation of running Nix the package manager on a non-Nix OS, a nascent Numtide project you may be interested in is system-manager:

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/github-numtide-system-manager-...

The idea is to provide some of the NixOS whole-system management niceties (especially controlling systemd units) but on non-NixOS systems like Ubuntu, in a way that behaves more like puppet/chef/ansible rather than competing with the native package manager.
> Does this still mean you have to restart your local web application after any change you made to it? I heard that some developers automate that, so that everytime they save a file, the web application is restarted. That seems pretty expensive in terms of resource consumption.

All of the popular frameworks automatically reload. It’s not instantaneous but with e.g. Django it was less than the time I needed to switch windows a decade ago and it hadn’t gotten worse. If you’re used to things like NextJS it will likely be noticeably faster.
The world keeps turning and it can be shocking when what was once a comfortable way of doing things, so comfortable you just take it for granted, suddenly becomes passe. A couple others things come to mind, not just personal websites.

I used to like giving CDs to friends and family at Christmas: here is some music that you might like that you probably don't know about. I'm sure it was a frog in a boiling pot phenomenon, but it seemed to happen all at once: the recipients all said, "Thanks, but I don't have a CD player."

The same thing with app development -- people want to click a link and immediately start interacting and not need to install anything. I've written a few emulators for old computers that weren't popular to begin with, which already limits the audience to a handful of people who care at all. Even among that narrow selection of people who visit my sites, probably 95% of them can't be bothered to download and install an emulator, and I get it. It would be a fun exercise rewriting them to be web apps, but the inability to seamlessly save/restore disk images to the user's space really harms the experience.

Anyway, I have to attend to my guestbooks and curate a webring.

> Boeing was rightly blamed for misleading everyone about the nature of the MAX8

Pilots I am personally friends with who fly for American, Southwest, and United, disagree. They feel they were fully prepped for the differences in the airframe from their first flight on it, pre-crashes, and have said that they blame the carriers that crashed for not prepping their pilots the same.

It's entirely possible that I missed some news, but I'm unfamiliar with the FAA or anyone else actually accusing Boeing of intentionally misleading or releasing incorrect information?

My analogy to to Japan, while poor, was just meant to illustrate that we should be very clear about the true causes of things. "Boeing lied" is a very different problem than "Boeing squeezed a new system in, advised that pilots should be trained, and airlines didn't perform enough training".

But yes, I agree that we should be wondering what's up, specifically with Boeing's assembly/QA processes...
Goals have to evaluate their preconditions/etc and depending on your game to do so might be expensive. If a precondition for a goal is that a place in the world is reachable, you'd need to be able to run a pathfinding query to satisfy it. Other game systems might have bad Big-O as content gets added. The mission availability system in our game is one example, as we doubled the number of quests and NPCs post-launch and had to do some optimization.
On the other hand, in Usenet days, a lot of people were coming in from fairly elite institutions (whether academia or companies) and they were absolutely using their True Names and institutional associations. There was a bifurcation between this and people who participated under handles that weren't obviously linked to discoverable account (which was more associated with BBSs early on).
> Sure it is bytecode but runs in the browser.

About half if not more posts are about WASI (WebAssembly outside the browser). There really isn't anything new to justifying the level of hype; bytecode or code running in the browser already have been done and eventually removed decades ago (respectively Java applets and ActiveX).
You proved my (overly condescending) point.

You either support older TLS or you don't. Do not try to fine tune it to one known audience. You just locked everyone that is not in the sample you just whitelisted(!) out of your service. But you don't know about them, so no harm? If you think one use case for tls1.1 is OK for one use case, just accept you support it.

Same for every thing else. Every time you use UA sniff, you are doing it wrong. not matter how smart you think you are. You are not. It's just a momentary feel good because you are oblivious to everything else. Just like you felt good when you blocked tls1.1 before knowing of those blind users. Now you felt good allowing those blind users because you still don't know about another group that you might learn tomorrow or never, because you are blocking them :)
Yes that is the tendency, but it's still possible to fight it to some extent. Unless you're in a pretty rural area there should be local meetups you can attend. They might not be about exactly the subjects you're interested in, or be attended entirely by people you like, but if you give a couple a chance and keep showing up they might surprise you and you might get some friends out of it.

I still periodically hang out with about a dozen people I met via meetups like 9 years ago. Used to be a lot more, and some moved or drifted off (on both sides, I'm guilty of it as well), but that's still a decent number.

That's not including the group of game designers I befriended by hosting playtest nights, or the local writing group I still do things with every November for Nanowrimo, or a handful of people I met from a couple new meetups I started going to recently.

I've attended funerals, friendsgivings, baby showers, and the like for a few of them too, so we're not just casual friends (although a love of board games and geeky things does tie a lot of us together).

> The other reason is that the Python ecosystem moved away from stateless requests like CGI or mod_php use and now is completely set on long running processes.

The long-running process is a WSGI/ASGI process that handles spawning the actual code, similar to CGI. The benefit is that it can handle how it spawns the request workers via multiple runtimes, process/threads, etc. It's similar to CGI but instead of nginx handling it, it's a special program that specializes in the different options for python specifically.

> Does this still mean you have to restart your local web application after any change you made to it? I heard that some developers automate that, so that everytime they save a file, the web application is restarted. That seems pretty expensive in terms of resource consumption. And complex as you would have to run some kind of watcher process which handles watching your files and restarting the application?

Only for development!

To update your code in production you first deploy the new code onto the machine, and then you tell the WSGI/ASGI such as Gunicorn to reload. This will cause it to use the new code for new request, without killing current requests.

It's a graceful reload, with no file watching needed. Just a "systemctl reload gunicorn"

The enforcement and incentive modifications around this will come almost entirely from the public sector and litigation, not consumers.
