Yes, that is part of development and should be, if it were competent, one of the objectives of US government: to let people house themselves. You might as well say "you're forgetting that building also need walls".
> I think there's a real grievance to be had by projects that were formerly open source, solicited contributions from non-paid volunteers, and then change licensing models.

I think that's the crux of the frustration and fair. But at the same time, the previous version before the license change can still be forked/the contributions are intact so is there a tangible loss or just an emotional one?
My Bolt EV has a car wash mode, but it is only necessary for car washes where you put the car in Neutral, then get out while the car is pushed through the tunnel. As far as I can tell, all it does is override a safety feature that puts the car in Park (or maybe engages the parking brake) after a a short time in Neutral. I have never had the need to use it, but it's there.
Electrons aren't unique in not having identities. Photons of the same wavelength are similarly fungible if I remember right, though it's a little more defensible to call the reflected light not the same photons since the original photons are transformed to something we don't call photons before photons are produced again.

They're the combustion engine generation. In their life most of the roads and highways were built and all cities became fully motorized.

Most of them in the western industrialized countries could never imagine or want another way of living because this was the promise and evidence of progress and success since they were born.

Unfortunately I wish I shared your optimism that things will change after the boomers pass. I am from and have family in Alberta, oil country, and there's... just no chance. Some of the most vicious deniers (or worse, the "don't carers") are young.

I feel like things are swinging back the other way, and quickly.

When things start to fall apart people can have two reactions to it... stick and work together to solve the problem, or scatter and hoard and everyman-for-himself and proclaim "I got mine, now get lost..."

actually, I found their relationship in Return to Monkey Island really weird. In that Elaine forgives basically everything that Guybrush does, even in the last act. It's (somehow) understandable wrt to the ending itself, but it certainly was out of character wrt the older titles in the series and as such I did not like it.
I wonder about the all the photons lost in fiber optic installations. What happens to them in their short lives? There must be a creation and an extinction event.

A photon jumps into the glass fiber and travels until it encounters an opto-electric coupler where the photon craps out and is converted to an energized stream of electrons, or maybe it borrows the only real electron in the universe for an instant as it flips across the coupler to the next glass fiber where a new photon is born, only to flare out at the next junction.
No, "we" can all agree for a reasonable definition of "we." People who argue that warming is not an effect and isn't man-made are being purposely and obstinately wrong, and lying to themselves and often others. And there's actually very few of them, they just shout really loud.

There are no alternative facts.
1. MobileCoin premines 250m coins

2. Moxie is paid for being on their board

3. Moxie directs non-profit Signal to integrate MobileCoin

4. MobileCoin offers 50% of their premine for sale.

5. Signal/Mobilecoin news spikes price to $60

6. Moxie steps down as CEO of Signal but remains on board

7. Mobilecoin price today is $0.09

8. Moxie is no longer involved at Signal

This is why we need decentralization.

Well this is certainly an unexpected and weird announcement. I actually thought Moxie was (the main person behind) Signal. Not giving any details about this feels weird to me. How are we supposed to trust an organization that prides itself to be the beacon of free communication, when they communicate so... cryptically? Does anyone have more information on what happened here? (And what/if any are the current alternatives?)
> you can presumably create a US app store account with a VPN

I don't think it's that simple, at least with Google the phone seems to see the country code of the SIM card, or the mobile network it's connected to, to determine your "current country" for the Google Play Store. Maybe it will even ask you for a credit card number plus ZIP and country, that Google/Apple can confirm with your CC provider, if you say "Oh it's 90210 USA" and your CC billing address is 200000 Shanghai, your CC provider will say "verification failed".

I remember just downloading the APK of an app I needed which was not available for my Google Play country from apkmirror.com (thank Allah for sideloading).

It seems like the CCP asking Apple to ban these apps mean that they're getting more afraid about their leaky firewall, blocking them from being downloaded from the app store is another hurdle they've thought of for the Chinese citizenry.
I like your suggestion and it sounds like it would work great for certain cohorts, but not so sure about docs. I can see employing this tactic in a conference though. But that's more of a phase 2 thing when you already have a handful of ideas.
They are all dictatorships, meaning that can change by the day.
Going off-topic, I've been on both sides of seeing the analogousness or not. I think there might be two modes of thinking for deciding whether two things are analogous.

Mathy people inspect the "shape" of, and interactions within the two things. Other people go for intuitive vibes. For more concrete stuff the two modes of thinking usually match up.

Summation and multiplication are literally different things, but a lesson in group theory tells you (ℝ, +) and (ℝ⁺, ×) are isomorphic.
Tried Tiptap recently and it was fairly buggy even for basic stuff like lists. Apparently the team behind it went the VC route and raised a few million so ideally they'd be moving faster at this point, but it doesn't seem much improved from when I tried it a few years ago.

That said, text editing in the browser is indeed a nightmare, so it's hard to fault anyone trying to make it easier.

I dunno, I recently came off of a couple of Monkey Island 1 - 2 playthroughs and after starting this one, I couldn't help but feel that it was very laborious to talk to a few NPCs - some conversations would last way longer than I remember. It's funny because this is what I treasured the most about the previous games.

I ended up shelving it for the time being. Maybe it takes off after a while? Could always give another shot.
> I really, REALLY don't understand what's so wrong with just.. making methods return what they say they do, as plain objects. The antagonism towards doing so is literally just ingrained culture with zero sensible justification.

From experience with Rust, a major concern is lack of stack traces in error messages. Rust has libraries that built up around Result to address this (like Anyhow), but by the time you've included Anyhow with stack traces enabled you've basically reinvented checked exceptions in Result types. For Rust this is probably more ergonomic than introducing exceptions into the language, but Java already has checked exceptions that work like Anyhow does out of the box.

That's the part that you seem to be missing: checked exceptions are nearly identical semantically to result types, and they already exist and are widely used in the language. There are a few minor ergonomic problems that discourage their wider use, but it makes way more sense for Java to fix those than for people to migrate to Result types, which are not nearly as ergonomic in Java as they are in Rust or similar.

You tried to address this upthread, but it was frankly a pretty bad strawman that contrasted a horrible example of checked exceptions with an idealized example of a Result type. You then compounded the strawman with a double standard by demanding that the checked exceptions example immediately account for what would happen in the catch block while hand-waving away the handling of Left values in the Result type as something that we can deal with at some unspecified later time.

Dealing with failures later at the edges of the system is the reason why exceptions were invented, so it's highly disingenuous to claim that as a capability unique to Result types.
I'm really surprised a Monkey Island movie hasn't been made yet.

Yes, the Pirates of the Caribbean movie originally started as a Monkey Island screenplay. But that franchise is basically dead now, and with the popularity of sassy, fourth-wall breaking sendup movies I think it would do gangbusters.

The lore and the humor and the characters are already there - it's a shame they are locked to this increasingly small audience of people who have patience for point and click adventure games.

DHH's "I trust Meta over Signal because a board member at Signal is woke" is utter content-farming clickbaity dishonest discourse for someone of his skill and intelligence (given the guarantees inherent in the Signal protocol and its opensource nature) and his previously stated stance against cancel culture [0]. This quest for influence seems to break people's brains in weird ways.

I don't see how it's a conflict of interest. The primary benefit of open source is that you can run and modify it yourself if you need to. This benefit is still there if there is a single vendor behind the project.

The risk of a single vendor project is that it's less likely to be supported in the long run. This isn't a conflict of interest though.
Hey thanks! The trouble with the origami racking approach is that the engineering decisions you make to build a portable, foldable racking system go in some different directions from what makes the best hardware for long-term, large-scale installations.

A couple of ways this shows up: 1. making your system rugged to handle extreme weather. These sites need to last 30-40 years without breaking, which pushes you to use pretty heavy + large components. Piles get driven several feet into the ground, so even with unfolding systems you're still probably pile driving. 2. tracking -- adding the complexity to enable rows to rotate to face the sun makes it harder to make the system portable. Basically all large-scale solar getting built is single-axis tracked. 3. module cleaning -- it's important that vehicles can traverse rows to clean dirt off of modules on a regular basis. Having structure that connects the rows together may make this more difficult.

None of these are intractable on their own but together they make the approach you describe very difficult.
Israel is killing fewer civilians per legal combatant than any other anti-terror war in the middle east, even by HAMAS's numbers.

In WW2, Germans suffered greatly when they were loosing the war, including malnutrition as resources got tighter and tighter. Germans starved because their country refused to make peace with their neighbors.

Palestine is no different. HAMAS is the internationally recognized government of Palestine, and they chose to target and murder 1200ish innocent civilians who were in Israel. When you do that to your neighbor, you should not be surprised when they shoot back.

Well, supposedly Palestinians are very supportive of targeting and murdering Israel civilians, so maybe that's why they don't stop HAMAS from doing so.

Losing a war is not genocide. When we firebombed the Japanese, or Nuked them, that was not Genocide. When millions of soviets died defending their homeland, that was not genocide, even though Hitler himself wanted to exterminate "slavs" eventually.

The plight of the Palestinians is truly awful, and in many ways Israel actively makes it worse. Things like their god awful "AI" BS system so that the IDF can pretend to not feel so bad about killing innocent Palestinians are atrocious. Things like the IDF being significantly made up of undertrained conscripts without the discipline to not steal shit from Palestinian homes is awful and unacceptable. Things like the stupid settlement bullshit on the West Bank, which is straight out of 1800s Europe or what Russia is trying to do right now with Ukraine and Georgia and other former soviet states, are unacceptable.

Protesting interaction with Israel for those reasons, like wanting to not support an authoritarian regime that does things like that is great, and commendable.

Carrying water for actual anti-semites using this situation to spread hatred of Jews and downplaying the holocaust is not great, and not commendable.

Be careful, while trying to be a good person, that you do not make accidental bedfellows with the kind of people who sent death threats to a local town for putting up a fucking star of David to celebrate Hanukah, as if simply being Jewish makes you guilty of Israel's bad actions. Thanks to people like that, Jewish people all over the world are experiencing hatred. Don't help the people doing that. They are the ones pushing "Fighting back is Genocide" and they are doing it because they don't like jewish people.

Losing a war is not Genocide. Blockades are acts of war, but not Genocide. Unrestricted submarine warfare was also intended to literally starve the British public to death, and that was not Genocide. Most war crimes aren't Genocide either. You can commit war crimes without committing genocide. Hell, even what Russia did with kidnapped Ukrainian citizens will probably never be recognized as genocide.
Spoken like a real Gronk! Nah, your cool.

I suspect it is just something we picked up from our British heritage, the whole slang thing.

Apple and Pairs, Up the Stairs - all that.

I do find it funny when some folks have been here for a few years and they have picked up all the slang. Someone I used to know had been here for 10 years but still had a very thick Italian accent. It was always a joy when he would bust out a sentence like "I took the mars bar up the Tulla but it was right chockers. All I wanted for a Chook!". Translated, "I took the car up the freeway but there was a traffic jam. I wanted a hot chicken."
The way I see it, this is not about money but about group validation. By communicating a goal to your peers, one creates external reasons to persevere. I think the money is secondary, just the clientele of this app is easy to reach that way, because they think "no better motivator than money".
1. it’s a good study because they gave the army intelligence test to everyone who came in, so little selection bias

2. a job doesn’t necessarily pay well just because it does require a high IQ. Scientists in a research lab, professorships, academic research all likely have more intelligent people on average yet don’t pay as well as software engineering.

3. The study still shows a routine and reliable difference in average IQ between those who work in manual jobs/trades and those who work in science/engineering

Software engineering in the US is well paid, yes, partially due to economic effects and impact of software in and of itself, but it is, especially in FAANG, a profession with a very high concentration of people near the higher end of normal and above in the IQ spectrum, which leads to implicit selection criteria regarding intellectual capacities in employment.
You don't have to. Commissions might be the most common case (depending on what they're selling), but plenty of salespeople aren't paid on commission -- I know because I ask them (not when they're trying to sell me something) and I favor businesses who don't pay their salespeople that way. A salesperson working on commission is more likely to rip me off.

Honestly, the phase we're in right now reminds me a LOT of the dot-com bubble burst. Low interest rates, tons of venture capital, companies hemorhaging cash and still skyrocketing their valuation, and from what I recall (I know memory can be faulty) towards the end of the bubble as companies got desperate to generate revenue we started to see nigh-unusable ad-riddled pages that looked very much like what we see these days.

Even though it'd be bad for me personally and for my career, I do hope the bubble bursts soon. There is no chance this is sustainable.
They probably laughed and enjoyed the meal
I know, my statement there is harsh. The early tech culture emerged from 60s counter cultural forces that had, to their credit, really impacted the world. So it probably wasn't as naive as it seems now.

That's an interesting interpretation. I read it as 'all cryptocurrencies are scams'.

Do you have any recommendations on how to achieve your goals?
Helping Israel claim being against Zionism is antisemitism is just as bad as helping HAMAS claim losing a war is "being genocided"
But at a reflection event you aren't producing a new photon, you are only reflecting a portion of the original determined by the refractive indices of the reflection interface. At that interface, part of the original photon is reflected and the rest is transmitted across the interface as a new photon and both have a modified bandwidth relative to the parent photon. So the one you see reflected is the same photon after modification by the medium it traversed and the transmitted components escape your view unless you are monitoring the other side of the medium.
Well no, this is not how countries will decarbonise. What will happen is some net fossil-fuel exporters will become net importers.
Like for example the UK with natural gas. These changes somehow will still come as surprises, their impact will get misattributed, sudden (and unreasonable) things will happen. More I cannot predict.

Genesis 1:3 has: "And G-d said, Let there be light, and there was light[0]." This says on the literal level that light is a created thing distinct from G-d, and thus finite (though created very close to the creation of the universe itself, on day 1).

To be clear, light is a very common metaphor for G-dliness in Judaism and the quote from John resonates as a perfectly fine metaphor, rather than a literal assertion of equivalence.

I developed a project that went deep into quill and its capabilities.

It's relatively straightforward to develop little widgets that can plug into the renderer. I did it for several classes of healthcare information, with "smart links" with embedded icons for things like appointments, medications, etc...

Even better, I was able to use vanilla web components for the markup that got embedded, and quill was able to use it just fine.

Was a huge success and worked great.
