> The GP described quitting their job and going traveling for an entire decade

You replied to the person who wrote the GP. I don't see anything in their post that confirms not working - they just work remotely, as the post you are replying to confirms.

> And I could only do that if I was tremendously selfish, like you: choosing to have no kids, choosing to allow the elders in my family to face poverty instead of proper end of life care, etc.

This is deeply unfair. Choosing not to have kids is not selfish at all. By some metrics it's even laudable, but you don't have to go that far to simply not condemn people who make that choice. And you have no idea how much they make or whether their parents are "facing poverty". Perhaps their parents died younger. Perhaps they have excellent retirement savings. Perhaps OP is one of seven children who contribute equally to their parents' care. You don't know.

I'm in full agreement with you that traveling like this is a privilege of the wealthy. But I think the way you condemn it falls pretty flat.

Nah the Disney app is really poor, it crashes / refuses to load way more than the other ones in my experience. On multiple different devices / networks.

From the article:

> Originally the project's governance, spelled out in an earlier version of its CONTRIBUTING.md file, specified the project would have three "owners" responsible for keeping development ""healthy"". The actual responsibilities and rights of the owners were vague, but they were to be elected yearly by Gitea's maintainers ""who decide with a simple voting model which contributions get accepted and who will play the owner role"".

> That community of maintainers did not get a vote when Gitea's domain and trademarks were quietly transferred by two of Gitea's "owners" (Lunny Xiao and Matti Ranta) to a for-profit business called Gitea Ltd. The announcement said this was to meet the goal of ""ensuring the long term success of the project"" by allowing companies ""unable to contribute back to open source via sponsorship or code contribution"" to support Gitea in the form of paying Gitea Ltd directly.
This was part of some “testing in production” type scheme?

Are there any talks or blog posts on how y’all wired this up, lessons learned etc?
It can help for sure. Especially if a company has an EDP or PPA with Amazon.

The process to become an ISV on AWS takes a bit of work though.
Maybe. But in my experience, there are a lot of technical things that I value that the rest of my family just doesn’t. And losing access to things that I would consider priceless, others might just be happy to find workarounds for or recreate.

It’s really hard to force people to be interested in things that they aren’t interested in.
Exceptions so far are Novo Nordisk and CostCo. Not sure if there are many others at scale.
You don't have to archive every last media and binary file. The size will only increase as time goes on, and so too will the expense of maintaining the archive. Better to start chewing now rather than wait for Microsoft to finish off GitLab and look for other competitors to demolish. I think they will be quick to realize they have one playing around in their front yard.

The Power of Lost Minutes
It's just a matter of scale. What's impressive to me with the big aircraft is that we can organise thousands(?) of people to build something that big. But when it comes to the principle of flying it's just a bigger version of the fan. If you were to say they used the same amount of energy as a fan then that would be impressive. But they don't, they burn tons of fossil fuels. Geese can fly over the highest mountains too and all they eat is grass.
But bumpy is good!!!! A bumpy street is one where you drive slowly and don't run over children riding bikes to school. A bumpy street is one where you pay attention. A bumpy street says "you may drive here but this is not a space _just_ for your car".

It's really not overblown. Google's own culture rewards creating new things and does not reward iterative improvement.
You might want to take a look at this thread. It's particularly spicy. Seems like the Forgejo founder is being disingenuous (though the Gitea founders are not much better either). Everybody is just in it for the money.

Funny how people still call the corporate conglomerate tech outfits 'FAANG' apparently because 'fang it, bro' sounds tough and cool and predatory in the comic-book sense - but really they're steadily transforming themselves into their monopolistic predecessors (e.g. Ma Bell), so a new acronym - MAMAA (Meta/Amazon/Microsoft/Alphabet/Apple) - is needed.

Also, 'Homo sapiens' should be renamed 'Homo ignis'. Sign the petition.
I'd love to move my personal email off my self hosted (Postfix/Dovecot) server, but I'm not paying $5/person/month for the privilege (ProtonMail etc). I know how little admin work it takes to maintain an email server, and I know that cost doesn't change per user. I would gladly pay $5/month for my entire family.
Of course, not for individual rockets on individual flights (but self-repairing would be way cool!).

But Anti-Fragility as you define it definitely should be a goal for their overall organization and system of building and operating the fleet.

Each issue or incident should feedback into the engineering of new units and updating of existing units so that they are improved, stronger, less likely to create issues, more able to handle issues, etc. on each iteration. This actually seems to be the case at SpaceX, including this incident.

Or, am I missing something?
Breaking Packages: finding the sharp edges of Python's package management system
Part of Putin's strategic defeat. He was worried about Ukraine joining NATO? Well, Russia now shares a much longer border with NATO than it did before the invasion. The Baltic sea is a NATO lake.

Sure, Putin has been able to throw enough troops into the meat grinder to advance a few miles here and there. But it's a tiny percentage of the country. For perspective, they just captured Avdivka. It had a prewar population of 35,000. Russia lost 40,000 casualties to take it.
I don't know, because these various startups don't pretend to have a cohesive vision/platform/ecosystem with each other, but that's exactly what Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc do.

I can't think of any apps or services that Apple has launched in the past decade and has since killed, whereas without even trying I can rattle off at least ten such projects by Google.
Your reply is disingenuous. The deal was between Senate Republicans and Democrats. They agreed fully. They only people that don't like the deal are the extreme House Republicans and they represent a powerful but minor of Republicans in the House. If you look at everyone in Congress, there is definitely general support for the failed bill. And, the failed bill is a step in the right direction. To say it was a compromise is absurd, unless you want every bill to be perfect when it is voted on. There can always be further refinement of the law, through future legislation.

On your other point about blue states. There are a lot of people who think blue states are much better places to live because of their legal/legislative climates. Ask people in Oklahoma who want IVF.

In general, governing is hard and I'm not about to say that Democrats have perfected it or are even doing it effectively, on an absolute scale. I am saying that the current Republican party is (other's said it here first) a cult with a criminal at the head of the ticket and a bunch of obstructionists in the House and Senate. They care nothing of the rule of law, when it is they who bend it, but they will scream bloody murder if the other side takes a tiny step in that direction.

There were a lot of people in 2000 who didn't understand the internet, much less how to make money with it. The future of the internet was much less clear. Once everyone is online, then what? This uncertainty caused people to gamble on internet stocks, because you never know...

Many people don't understand AI, but it is much more clear that it is a useful tool. Companies can make money with it by replacing workers and increasing the productivity of workers who know how to use it. The future of AI is much clearer as well. We know it's going to keep getting better. There is no limit that we know of on how good it can get. Feed it a script and make full length movies? That might happen. AI companions and care-givers for the elderly? Definitely. An AGI companion that serves as your assistant? That's not far off. AI psychotherapists? We're almost there. The possibilities are endless.

This is the difference as I see it.
In my experience what is done is they send you an e-mail, shut it down if you don't pay and send another mail that they delete it after x time where x is mostly a single digits days.

There doesn't seem to be a good solution. Self-Hosting E-mail requires a high degree of technical wizardry, but relying on a cloud E-mail host means you are one inadvertent TOS violation away from losing access to your entire identity (all password reset features ultimately rely on access to E-mail).
I mean, you don’t have to tell them the exact details. Just tell them you’re in the loop with other companies, and you plan to have offers start coming in around $DATE, and would like to align things so you can evaluate them together. Of course if you end up not getting any other offers that might be a problem but if they understand that you are actively involved in multiple options I find that recruiters will move things for you. I think this is true even if they’re secretly trying to hurt you (e.g. by running their process faster and hoping that you take their offer first) because if you’re firm about your timelines (and you commit to it!) nobody really wants to be in a process where they string you along for a month and get you to the offer stage and then miss signing you on because they didn’t want to wait a few days to get extra information from you (about, say, how you’d really love to join Meta if only they bumped their comp $20k).

They are not going to be able to do it, my opinion. There are very few people in the world who have deep experience doing 3D CFD on supersonic turbofans, I've talked to a few of them and none have been headhunted. The will need good analysis work, they are asking for a LOT out of a single stage fan. They certainly will not have the metallurgical research and manufacturing technologies of the engine manufacturers to use. But best of luck to Scott, his Porsche GT3 was getting kind of old and needs to be upgraded to the latest model.

> When I've tried to search what does pawpaw tastes like the two most specific descriptions I could find was "mild pawpaw taste" and "not banana".

The taste is very variable in different cultivars of this fruit. Some wild are said to be awful, but in the edible ones there are basically two groups: "plain banana" and "complex tropical mix".

"not banana" means that the flavor is a mix of tropical fruits. More acidic and with complex overtones that can be described as pineapple, mango, or bubblegum
Yeah, dynamics will be different, though caveat I am not a structures/loads engineer.

I just don’t think anyone had the risk appetite to chance a test asset against a very difficult to achieve test point.
Oh yes, that is an excellent observation. The components themselves cannot be antifragile, but the development process certainly can.

Thinking about that, an important feature of that antifragility is not to risk human lives during the process if that risk can be avoided. Even though space exploration is inherently risky, any actual fatality is a huge setback.
You have misinterpreted the case law. Although Costco requires a membership to shop there, courts have generally found such places to be public accommodations rather than true private clubs. Thus, they would be legally barred from instituting a racial exclusivity requirement for membership.

Interesting. My impression has been the exact opposite of that. Ingredients seem more uniform, true, but they also are much less flavorful and seem to be higher in salt than ever.

Similarly to overcooking, acids may break down bitters. There's useful science in why things like balsamic reductions and citrus fruit juices are commonly used in brussel sprout recipes today.

Not sure what the poster above was thinking of, but it seems kinda the same as every other language that’s adopted it - powerful, but footguns abound. I ran some async C# in a debugger - in Rider - the other month, and the debugger just goes off the deep end.

Does C# have the same issue Python does with accidentally calling blocking code? In async Python - which I mostly quite like actually - it’s terrifying to bring in a library because if you’re unlucky it does some blocking network call deep inside that stalls your whole app..

But honestly, people seem to get all hung up on C++ having weird features. No-one is being forced to use a feature just because it exists. I use the sub-set of C++ that I'm familiar with and grow it when it looks like it'll save a lot of effort relative to cost of learning it.

You can interview as much as you want, but chances are you have more competition for fewer jobs than you ever have before.

I'm surprised you find the Kekulé Problem not supporting that he liked science. I think of it more as pointing out that the unconsciousness has been ignored scientifically, but he certainly frames it as a question of science: "The unconscious is a biological system before it is anything else. To put it as pithily as possibly—and as accurately—the unconscious is a machine for operating an animal." "To repeat. The unconscious is a biological operative and language is not."
