Only 10 bucks and can run OpenSK/Tock, FIDO2 code, among other things. This way you save money and learn something.
I wonder if the motivation is partially:

Then you missed some interesting content. E.g. what Orwell's wife did in the Spanish civil war.

(I'm not saying it was a good article, but it had more than just a 'cancelling' of Orwell)
The main issue is that modern tools are not like classic desktops, like Smalltalk workstations or Emacs, meaning a single, fully-integrated environment, where anything is at user disposal, with end-user programming concepts built-in.

In org-mode I can create "good looking slides" in a snap, I can quickly craft some chuck of code, run it and get some results, it's damn limited in "dashboard" terms, let's say I can quickly plot some data but the plot is just a crude static image, make it glow with PGF/TikZ it's very time consuming so it's not an option either and it would be still static, because Emacs itself it's the right tool but from an older era. Modern tools offer more eye candy and quick manipulation but only for very limited actions in a very inflexible UI obviously not integrated with anything else. R probably is the quickest with R Studio/quarto to produce contents quick, dirty and still nice to see, but it's still far from the flexibility of Emacs. I think there is no solution without re-writing the entire modern software stack with the classic paradigm and modern stuff doable thanks of much more horsepower under the wood.
I'd be curious to know what suburb is so awful, so I don't move there.

Those are rookie numbers. I have often set my alarm for 40+ minutes before I "need" to be awake because I know that I will snooze the alarm several times before being conscious enough to force myself out of bed.
It's heartwarming to see this from your daughter. Never doubt that you're a better parent alive living your truth and that your daughter is grateful for you being there for her. Best of luck for continuing your transition.
Over the last couple of years there were several launches of new GIS solutions. It's obvious that old platform might be hard to understand for users without qualification but how interesting this market is for developers and investors? I am not sure.
> That act was then repealed in 2013, because reasons

It wasn't repealed, it was amended.

In 2012.

To provide an Arabic/Pashto/Urdu/etc. language source of information for speakers of those languages within the US due to a lack of coverage by domestic US broadcasters. (not "reasons")

For example: You are an Arabic-speaking individual living in the midwest of the US where you were resettled after getting refugee status. There almost no domestically-produced news sources in Arabic.

Al-monitor exists, but they were founded the same year the act was amended, for the same reasons, and unfortunately while many of their articles are written in native language, many others seem to be machine-translated and no matter what the AI/ML hypelords think, that ain't it boss.
The bottom line for MC is how quickly can they part you from your money? The core of their profit is still the transaction fee. It is to their advantage to reduce any impediment to you spending money. Even if 'fumbling with your card' is an awkward way to put it, those few seconds are still a moment when you could think, I'm not going to spend that money. You might decide to not get your card out.
No, I have not moved any goalposts. I explicitly made the point that the impression is common, despite the actual numbers not supporting it. That was the entire point of my comment. I don't know what you thought you read.

And I agree it's usually about racism.

If you live in Europe, just look at the EU Parliament elections and see how the far right did. Or follow the political discourse in pretty much any European country.

If you're not hearing it, your not paying attention to pretty much any political reporting.
If you use GPS-based synchronization you have a reference of when zero crossings should occur. This does not mean that you have to output exactly that waveform.

Once you have a reference you can use a control algorithm. like a PID, to adjust the phase of the grid that you are generating locally.

If you sense that the grid is running out of phase from what your GPS clock says is the true reference you can increase/decrease your power output a bit to increase/decrease its frequency and catch up with the phase error.

It would be analogous to a type 2 PLL. The 1 Hz GPS clock would be the reference clock, the 60 Hz grid would be the "PLL output" and the VCO would be the power turbine, or AC inverter.
danish oil has heavy metal salts in it, specifically salts of cobalt and zirconium: https://www.coo-var.co.uk/files/ww/safety/308-Q271%20-%20DAN...

ionic cobalt and ionic zirconium are both of fairly moderate toxicity; they aren't in the same ballpark as things like lead and mercury, but they also aren't as relatively harmless as calcium or zinc

i think that normal 'boiled' linseed oil does have stand oil in it, as well as the siccatives we're talking about here and other additives like antiskinning agents
I really struggle with clipboard history apps because they are not very far from a keylogger and I don't want to have to trust a developer or third-party code with the contents of my clipboard. Am I being irrational?
However it's very unclear how some photons bouncing around between atoms constitutes a "time evolution of the system", and other photons bouncing around between atoms constitutes a "measurement of the system". Usually this involves introducing some fictional object called a "detector", but in the world we live in, every detector is itself just built out of atoms which evolve in accordance with Schrodinger's equation.
To be fair, OpenAI completely went against the principles it established for itself under Musk's direction to be not-for-profit.
I love ~everything about this. I've been doing software engineering as a career since the late 90's and think she's spot-on about both the local-first movement and "barefoot developers". @stevekrouse, thanks for posting -- and @maggieappleton, please keep doing what you do!
Minor nitpick: OutOfMemoryError and StackOverflowError are subclasses of Error, not Exception. It is an anti-pattern to catch any Error subclasses since these are usually JVM-internal exceptions. Programs are firmly in undefined behavior territory when they e.g. catch an OutOfMemoryError and do nothing with it. This is why catching Throwable is considered a bad idea compared to Exception. In the majority of cases, there is no reasonable recovery from a thrown Error, unlike a thrown Exception.

With that said, it is true RuntimeException and its subclasses are unchecked exceptions. Thankfully, those exceptions tend to be things like IllegalArgumentException, NullPointerException, etc., which are still pretty serious but not as bad as the two examples given.
The sibling reply is correct, but I'll give a different answer connected to the analogy I gave that you are replying to. Occam's razor prefers simpler theories not smaller universes.

The idea that the universe consists of seemingly uncountable numbers of stars, each of which is another Sun and perhaps has planets of its own, is vastly more detail than the old heliocentric model of one Sun, a fixed number of planets, and stars being pinpricks in the tapestry surrounding the solar system. Nonetheless Occam's razor suggests that we accept the view that the stars are suns and we are just one planet among many billions upon billions, because although that universe requires vastly more detail to describe, it is governed by a simpler set of rules. Unifying heaven and earth under a single, simple set of physical laws, discovered by Newton, makes for a simpler scientific model, even if it introduces the possibility of the universe being vastly larger than we originally thought.

Similar situation with many-worlds. If MWI is right, then the "universe" if interpreted to include all reachable branches of the so-called multiverse, is vastly larger than we previously believed. But it is also simpler, in a strict Occam's razor sense, because it does away with the concept of collapse. Wave function collapse is an additional physical rule in the Copenhagen interpretation, whereas it's just an illusion and not an enumerated part of physical law in MWI.

Experimented a few more minutes, and I have a few suggestions I think I'd like to see implemented:

-- Allow regular expression search.
-- Click outside the note to save. (Autosave every N seconds would be nice as well.)
-- Customizable CSS. (Yes, I can do this with a local build.)
-- Collapse/expand (sub)headings.

I'll give it more of a test drive over the next few days.
no worries at all - I appreciate the feedback. Out of curiosity, what makes you think this is a tarpit idea? I roughly understand the term as "ideas that seem obvious and easy, but have non-obvious problems".

Ideally, we would like Revideo to be used to build any kind of web-based video editor. A lot of video editors exist, and many of them make a lot of money. Based on my experience, building a video editor from scratch is also really hard - I would think that people would choose a framework that makes it easy to build them if it exists.

My biggest worry is more about the technical difficulty of the problem (becoming the standard way to build a category of products is probably not easy), rather than this being an actual problem. I'd love to hear your opinion though!
What has been your experience writing the "off line first" style PWA?

There's an appeal to it, basically using the web purely as distribution, and the browser as the runtime. But I'm concerned with the fiddly-ness of local storage and such like that. The "out of site, out of mind" nature of it. The data not being in a "~/.app/app.dat" file, etc. The idea of it potentially just up and vanishing with a browser update. And, heck, just the complexity of dealing with the schema versioning in the native web model.

As well as the portability of data (say when you copy over to a new computer).

The idea of simple web distribution is compelling. Now you need nothing more than a github account, and off you go. No server, no nothing.

But I still feel (perhaps ignorantly) that the data situation is still on shaky ground. (Discounting the whole lack of something like SQLite, etc.)

And, the idea of bundling something like SQLite as a webassembly blob just makes me itch.

Just curious how that's worked out.

FWIW I was following your thread the other day and through it was interesting. I look forward to hearing about whatever ADHD stuff you alluded to in the comments.
I have no idea what you are talking about, given that you are linking to a comment a decade old which has nothing to do with Conway's death just now; nor have I commented on Conway in any way today or been on HN today until just now, where I saw your comment. (Nor do I intend to comment now that you have drawn my attention to her passing, as I generally feel that such obituary notices should try to celebrate the good about a person, as posterity will have quite enough time to consider the bad as well.)

If you disagree and wish it 'kept out', my suggestion would be to... not link it? Especially in other pages which have nothing to do with Conway?
Yeah. Also, drinking straws. straw > plastic > PFAS coated paper
> but it doesn't scale.

Why not?

You don't even necessarily need to put all disclaimers directly on the package. Just put some kind of reference number on there, like an MSDS number, and let users go look up all the packaging information online if necessary.

The manufacturer has this information. They must in order to produce the product. The requirement would be they just have to publish it now when used to wrap food.

How does that not "scale?"
Thanks for this! I am happy to have been wrong about the touch stuff, because I'm learning a lot.
The author spends a lot of time convincing himself that SQL is not the problem, but that it’s the context and semantics of the data.

I disagree. Just because understanding the data is a difficult problem doesn’t mean that SQL isn’t also a problem.

I understand the data and the set up of the database just fine. Darned if I can remember SQL syntax
Are retinal scans a big deal?

It requires a decent camera with very good optics or short distance from your eyes to get a meaningful identification, so your casual CCTV mass surveillance isn't a problem. If I want anonymity, irises are going to be very low on my list of potential worries.

Also, I consider those to be public data (just like my face, fingerprints, overall appearance, voice or DNA), because anyone willing within a reasonable proximity can get this data anyway and there's no stopping it. So, if some company wants to use that as an authenticator... well, that's a stupid idea that I would protest for anything sensitive (unauthorized access to which could actually cause me some griefs), but as long as it's not my liability (and for a credit card it is not - fraud disputes aren't fun but it's not my money either) they can do... whatever, I guess.

Or am I missing something?
Yeah, that's a legit criticism... but her broader point still holds. OSS provides

But the app store experience is to push people to ever bigger and bigger apps. We don't incrementally explore & expand our competency, we don't augment human intellect, we don't form man-machine symbiosis: we get pushed to the biggest already most successful apps, that leave us supplicants to their ever changing laws & dictums.

The app stores by their nature don't actually let people into computing. They are the sad old pre-connected paradigm, entrenching top down systems control.

What Maggie is tapping into is more than the 15/30% cut. It's about possibility & connection, about software we have power over & can shape & share. The software we have today is all dead software, delivered to us on a platter, and that dead modality is not befitting the greatness humanity can & should be tapping into.

Local First is inherently not bound, not fixed into interaction with the golems created by far off others. It allows more. It allows soul. That earnest engage-ability is something that's been missing from the consumerized world, has created enormous disbelief & disdain in a place where hope & possibility once sprung freely.

http://malleable.systems now!

----

Regarding whether users will or not? Local First has a set of first principles to keep us from being too bound by software. The particular tools we have at any given point are arbitrary, secondary.

Who knows what would happen if we did have the capabilities, because right now we don't have the capabilities. Yes, Local First is about bootstrapping something new. No it doesn't create the barefoot developers automatically, doesn't make that imminent. But it makes it possible. And some will convert in, some will start being barefoot developers as it becomes possible. If & only if we make it possible. The cynicism about those who won't or the state of our tools is not yet due.
* Referring to the company as a "family", or cliches like "work hard, play hard" or similar.

* They don't leave time for you to interview them.

* They're stuck on looking for particular, specific answers to their questions, even if other answers are valid and workable.

* The questions/problems given are one-sided and don't invite discussion. I really enjoy interviews where the interviewer will kick off a design or architecture question, and then instead of just sitting there, waiting for me to respond, taking notes and moving on, they engage with me on the problem and we discuss it mutually, like peers, with a lot of back and forth. This might not be a strong "nope" signal (some people just aren't very good at interviewing, and often that doesn't reflect all that poorly on the company), but it's definitely concerning.

* Being inflexible on compensation mix. If I think the salary is too low, I might ask for more equity. If they can't budge on the financial part of compensation, and have fixed/accrued PTO rather than unlimited, I might accept starting out with more vacation days instead. Answers like "sorry, this is the standard that everyone gets and it can't be changed" are big red flags.

* If we get to the offer stage and they want me to sign things that I'm uncomfortable signing, and their response is "oh, it's just standard boilerplate, we'd never enforce something like that". Well, I'm not comfortable with selective enforcement, either. "Never" really means "as long as we don't end up having an axe to grind with you later on".
> probably more down to food access and/or training disparities than actual “significant” biological factors.

I'm not really going to defend the other side here because sports are (by definition) fundamentally arbitrary, but is this really borne out by reality? To use an easy comparison, elite adult womens' track and field athletes might be competitive against high school boys, but not at any higher level. Compare, for example, the international womens' records [0] to the records from this random high school nationals track meet [1]. What food access and/or training advantage are high school kids going to have over the most capable athletes in their sport?

From what I got, it replaces the printer head plus the entire positioning assembly of the head. It's still not the entire printer, but it would massively simplify the mechanical construction.
Well, from my POV, the licensing part of this is only a small part of the puzzle. Open source software that’s insanely complex to run and is developed like industrial software still doesn’t make it amenable for home cooking / barefoot use.

The bigger limiter is the missing culture of deliberately small and individualized software to specific people, families, or small communities. That’s the mindset Maggie is trying to espouse. Then, you can carve that space into closed vs open source, free vs paid, etc.

But Excel and Notion aren’t open source and people have gotten really good at using them for these home cooked meals.

> Danes have been making use of instant account-to-account transfers since the launch of Express Clearing (‘Straksclearing’) in 2014. Today, the mobile payment app MobilePay is used by almost everyone for instant peer-to-peer transfers. Traditional payment types such as direct debits are still widely used, however. Having been around for several decades, the direct debit schemes 'Betalingsservice' and 'Leverandørservice' are used by consumers and businesses respectively.

> All retail bank payments in Denmark are settled in the Kronos2 system, owned by the country's central bank, Danmarks Nationalbank, and cleared in one of three systems: Sum Clearing (‘Sumclearing’), Intraday Clearing (‘Intradagclearing’), and Express Clearing (‘Straksclearing’). These three systems dictate the settlement capabilities of the main schemes and payment methods available in Denmark.
> Russia and China are doing it on a much worse level

They arent. The two things that crippled the Eastern Bloc's propaganda efforts was 1) Fear of getting caught lying and losing credibility and therefore not lying 2) Doing propaganda by stating facts in dry, formal language.

The US has perfected the lying, smearing emotional manipulation propaganda early in the Cold War and it still keeps doing it. There isn't one single country that does it like that. So, no, Russia and China arent doing it 'on a much worse level' - they are incompetent. The very fact that you have this 'perception' that its not the country that lied about nonexistent WMDs for almost a decade but 'others' who are doing 'worse propaganda' is a demonstration of how far worse the US propaganda is.

Open-source projects depend on their community and contributors, and community management is inherently political. No matter what "neutral" thing you do, some contributors will approve of that, and some will see it as a red flag.

Even saying "no politics!" will be seen by some people a political stance — as an approval of the status quo (which may be unfavorable to some groups of people), or even as a denial that certain social problems exist, and a red flag that you won't help them if someone discriminates against them.

Even in a "no politics" environment the you will end up having to decide what is "political" and what isn't, and that is a political stance! Someone will have a Bible quote in their email signature — is that neutral or political? Then is Quran okay too, or rainbow emoji? And when you tell people to stop this circus, the "no politics" policy itself will be questioned as a political stance against free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of association, etc.
