> Just because something is better than its competitors does not make it a mono-culture.

"Because something is more popular than its competitors" I'd agree with.... but better, I'm not sold: better on what terms? Personally, I had found Mercurial more pleasant to work with and more aligned with my philosophy of change control. In some sense that's "better" from my perspective. Git I find to be a complex hodge-podge that requires monk-like dedication to come to terms with... in some sense that's definitely not better. I always recommend Git to clients. Not because I think it's better, but because I think it's popular enough that random developer-types are likely to have at least passing familiarity with it. Call it network effects. But attribution to "better" may be misplaced.

You’re absolutely right, but a truly startling amount of people on the trails give absolutely zero care about other trail users and are just reckless antisocial parasites.
It's a tool that's as powerful as you need it to be.

On my personal projects I basically just git add . , git commit . -m stuff , git push. Do that every 30 minutes and it's effectively a better Dropbox.

If I'm doing something more advanced I'll checkout a branch every now and then. The only time things get hard is when multiple people are editing the same file.

> United States are a bully

Yes, unlike Russia, China and Iran, our paragons of peace.

> has proven time over time that are completely agreement incapable

Yes, the Allies in WWI and WWII as well as NATO were ineffective. (As are AUKUS and the Quad to-day. I'll ignore the United Nations, IMF, World Bank, WTO, G-20, G-7, OECD, et cetera out of respect.)

Superpowers be superpowering. News at 11.

Can't believe I took your other comments in good faith...
I’d love to hear about it.
> By "we" I'm guessing you mean the tariff protected domestic north american and european markets.

Yes, I apologize for the western-centric approach there, though I would extend that position to the UAE and Saudi-Arabia.

The NA OEMs are not interested in bringing very low-cost vehicles to market. And the low-cost OEMs from Europe haven’t really been able to reach the American market. aside from a very outlier products.
Most Excel users (not the power users, just the 1.1 billion everyday ones, including many of the enterprise ones) don't know how to program in any language. You're coming at this with a HN mindset.

"Python vs Lua" is not even on their radar. And even if it was, their criteria would be dominated by platform lockin and compatibility with other licenses (e.g. commercial SQL, Tableau, MSFT, etc.). Not by "which open-source language?"
If an RP2040 doesn't fit the task because it has a pitiful amount of IO, you're now into using two anyway. Two chips, two SPI flashes, two crystals - likely more than the FPGA.

If it matters for the task, that FPGA will be able to achieve nanosecond-order IO/clock-to-clock skew times - PIO is painfully bad at this (and is executed serially.)

If the task will fit FlexIO's restrictions, the NXP IMXRT1011 at $1.70 blows away the $0.70 RP2040 in basically every metric.
Yeah, this kind of thing will really piss off individual consumers, but corporate buyers have an entirely different mindset. Corporate customers frequently lease stuff anyway, rather than buying it, because of the way that this affects taxation.
I believe this is because of three underlying truths:
1. These businesses need a lot of money to keep running.
2. Most of their value comes from the volume of other people using the same platform. (They aren't useful if you are the only one using them).
3. The general public does not value their offerings enough to want to pay.

There are examples where products have tried to bypass one or more of these truths. But they didn't do so well.
I just use 'a' or 'i'. I don't think I have ever used 'Insert'.
Thank You. I may use part of that when teaching Geometry.
I like it as a code repo, but issues suck, not being able to duplicate an issue is incredibly annoying. You'd think programmers would make that piece easy, but instead you get a shit ton of button pushing.
It usually takes two incomes to afford childcare!

I know single-income families at various levels of income across the country; it is certainly possible almost anywhere - if you want it.
All this makes sense and this is how I would do it.

However there needs to be something whereby if the player adds more new properties of equal land value, then this depresses and moderates the land value of existing properties.

Scarcity of high value properties should increase their own land value. Supplying more of them should lower their land value.

If they don't have that sort of system then rent can only ever increase and the simulation is flawed.
What would one expect from a company that indirectly allegedly has its own employee murdered for speaking up in favor of basic safety. If they don't care about their own employees, and they don't care about hundreds of passengers, they sure as hell don't care about a few astronauts.
To be honest, i never really understood this mentality for github. Code contribution isn't really the sort of thing people just randomly start doing because they are already on github. Github is not a social network (no matter how hard they might try to push social features)
Hit is not as good as mercurial for binary files afaik
Why do you specifically want to duplicate an issue? I feel like I'd avoid implementing this because I don't want someone to do it to me.

(Obviously there's good reasons like creating subtasks.)
Unfortunately the software forge landscape leaves a lot to be desired right now.

GitLab has leaned completely into becoming an enterprise DevSecOps platform at the expense of open source. Their 2015 homepage [0] emphasized its own open source nature and their free offerings. Their current homepage [1] doesn't mention open source at all and only includes the word "free" in the phrase "free trial". The banner at the top of the page currently reads "GitLab 17 & the future of AI-driven development". They've come a long way from being the underdog champion of open source.

Gitea is doing better for now, but the trademark was transferred to a for-profit (Gitea Ltd) and the main gitea.com domain is now being administered by a different for-profit (CommitGo, Inc), with very little transparency about what either of those for-profits are doing and how they'll use their ownership of these key resources. In light of recent license changes by major for-profit open-source companies and the recent behavior of GitLab, I'm not thrilled about Gitea's IP transfer to multiple opaque for-profit companies.

Codeberg.org's fork of Gitea (Forgejo) has a governance structure that is more appealing in that it is not profit-oriented, but I'm nervous about overmoderation in the Forgejo community [2]. Constructive opposition to the election of moderators (based on their past abuse of authority) got edited away as "ad hominem attacks" and has since been completely deleted from the election thread. They're a nonprofit, but after watching the episode linked below unfold and then get swept away entirely I don't trust their governance process at all.

There are other, smaller options that have fewer problems, but none with anything like the features that GitHub offers.

That's not a good look.
Brew-Nix: a flake automatically packaging all homebrew casks
That sort of attack would need to take one of two forms:

1) Hijacking an already-approved application

2) Creating a forked/new fraudulent application and submitting it to the store

Option 1 requires you to fool the repository owner, first of all. That would mean submitting a pull-request with your malicious code, having that malicious code reviewed by the app author, and then getting it into a major release. In most apps with a significant userbase that's nigh-unimaginable; especially if there are testers or multiple contributors testing and debugging on recent builds.

Option 2 requires you to fool the F-Droid admins. This means one of two things. Either creating a forked application with plausible yet distinct features that make it necessary to be forked from the main project. Alternatively, you get ChatGPT (or just copy boilerplate ffs) and make a calculator app or whatever, commit it all to Github and send it in for review. Both of these routes are horribly suspicious - a reviewer is going to want to see if you have multiple contributors, a long history on Github, linked social media accounts or websites, other repositories, binary blobs, that sort of stuff. Maybe they aren't the most cautious, but suffice to say anyone making an attack like this is going to be covered in red flags.

So; it's a feasible attack. But it requires so much social manipulation for so little feasible gain (especially when F-Droid wasn't even auto-updating for most people) that it's not worth the effort. If you do manage such a daring attack, your reward is maybe 300-odd sideloading users that mistakenly clicked your install button instead of the other guy's.
I'm not a fan of the high speed rail hype in the US. As another commenter pointed out, many cities are very suburban. So residents would have to drive to train stations just to get on in many cases.

That's ignoring all of the implementation costs, which would likely be extremely high.
I don't mind if people disagree with my viewpoint, but I'd appreciate the discussion.
Individually it usually doesn't work unless you're at a level where there is "only one of you" - think C-level exec.

But collectively it can work; the company may talk to the union and offer either X benefit which costs $Y or $Y applied to salaries.

Reminds me of the scene in The Godfather when Sonny smashes the photographer's camera then insultingly throws a couple of bills his way to cover the damages.
There are the same laws for pretty much everything. If somebody buys a car and runs down a crowd of people (not due to some defect in the car) you can't sue the car company and dealership. It is the same as guns. We just had to explicitly have laws around guns because some people wanted guns to be held to a different standard then everything else.
This seems to suffer the same problem as abduco, which is, you better be reconnecting from the same terminal (don't change your termcap). Fine if working from a single machine.

I did notice they have a vt100 emulator, but it's only used for screen restore?

It seems the focus of the tool is for reconnecting from the same machine.
> it is not a massive net exporter of it, because it consumes a lot

Wrong [1]. We are the world's largest producer and 4th-largest exporter, halfway to Saudi Arabia and three quarters to Russia.

I just want this for extra control options in gaming. I bet I could get good at aiming with my tongue. Shorter distance brain to tongue than brain to hands too? Faster response time? Tongue control is going to dominate in esports ;) RGB mouth guards incoming.

Put in a different context, this is like lifting your fingerprints off your car door, then paying you a tiny bit of company stock after selling those prints to your police department. It makes so little sense that it's hard to argue against.

"The House of Asterion" would beg to differ.
Interesting comment, is there any quantitative study or data corroborating regional attitudes in the US?
This is a really poor reply.

It doesn’t answer my question of whether the exercise will be embraced or just outright ignored by the scientific community.
Thanks, your feedback is worth way more than $10! I have been typing in one line or a couple sentences at a time. Your use case of inputting a whole email sounds very useful though.

I'm wondering if that would require a different UI or if... Say it just broke up the email for you into separate sentences and input them separately. Then you could click through the sentences one at a time in the existing chat carousel, would that work?

Reversing the flashcards wouldn't be much work, but I've heard that's less useful for learning, since for the English text there's be many ways to say it in Japanese. Happy to add features people will use though.
There are some extensions like git-lfs, though I haven't used them much. I do wish it was easier to check out repos without getting ginormous .git directories sitting around - even a shallow checkout doesn't help if it's got currently existing giant files in there.
I would say you're both correct.

>the petrodollar is nothing like the gold standard, where a dollar was pegged to a specific amount of gold.

>in effect it was still backed by something tangible.

I expect for the foreseeable future, with a few hundred dollars you will still be able to drive your Corvette (or other pleasure craft) around for quite a pleasurable tour.

The thing that changes is the number of miles you can go according to the present asset value of your fuel at any one time.

People got accustomed to that part of it a long time ago, after Nixon sacrificed the currency to the Saudis.

With complete discharge as a petrocurrency, that could end up with some place other than the US, one which average income is abysmal by comparison, being fully able to collectively purchase more Corvettes for cash than Americans because of debt levels relative to tangible assets.
Creativity is clearly not the goal here. Machine learning models are trained to be robust to errors in the training data.
I don't understand why some people hate third-party private businesses so much on the internet.

I mean, people often have conversations in coffee shops, such as Starbucks. Starbucks is a third-party private business that only exists if it somehow can make money off of you. I am pretty sure it also does "nebulous stuff" with the data it gets off me - it has my credit card after all, and I am sure it runs all the analytics it can. It will remove me from the stores if they don't like me (with the exception of few law-protected cases).

And yet, no one says that the physical world is "already completely overrun by malicious actors", and that somehow "majority of population" does not have the ability to notice that most of the establishments we interact with daily want to make money off me.

In the USA, you can get up to $5k or so without tax (it’s your money, but you can spend from a tax free account) to fund child care, which works out to almost half for one kid in a HCOL.

Analytic writing goes back to Newton and Leibnitz, but the psychology of thinking in terms of synthetic or analytic propositions derives from Kant. He added synthetic in an attempt to illustrate something outside of direct experience, but there are still problems with Kant.
What's the cost of letting that hardware sit idle?
Yes, that's correct. I had confused it with the total consumption at rated speed - ~1mA and mixed up my figures.
> Is a 3D printer closer to a drawing machine or a conventional printer?

I believe so. The ancient Greeks would scale up a sculpture using a cage placed around it. XYZ coordinates would br drawn from this using measuring sticks. This is, effectively, an analog version of our 3D printers and also an. Extra dimentional version of a drawing machine.
and it's not like there is much of a problem moving from github to xyz later if they feel like they need to. this just makes their burden of infrastructure less and reduce friction with all the contributors. of course bugzilla is still the main way to file bugs/submit patches. the overhead on cinnabar was pretty tangible and real for doing any kind of meaningful work on the codebase with git.
I’m pretty sure it isn’t up to the company, they have to provide health insurance if certain criteria are met, it doesn’t matter if your partner already has health insurance.

Phones are stagnating too. I don’t remember anything really innovative coming to my iPhone for at least 5 years. It’s just slow evolution. Hope phones won’t go the path of desktop where it seems they are making them worse with every release.
"Compressing" 500MB of data into a 70GB model.
I disagree.

My observation: instead of gaming likes, people are gaming contribution metrics. It's a subtle sort of "social credit score" type thing these days.

It may not be Facebook, but the social aspects and impacts are nevertheless strong.
wouldn't that be ablateration?
They are overloading "fewer" to mean division as well as subtraction. According to this logic "twice fewer" means "half as much".
I haven't! I literally never think about these things because they are literally never problems. It's frustrating to see people suggest that such things are intrinsically problematic because they have misused, or witnessed them be misused, without recognizing that they are not intrinsically worse or better than alternatives.

I've witnessed severe, horrifying problems, absolute nightmares, due to misuse of serial/bigserial. I'm not here trying to convince anyone not to use them. Right tool for the right job and all.

The argument here reads to me akin to suggesting that, a baseball bat is not very good at cutting loaves of bread! don't use baseball bats! you should really stick to knives!

Can we perhaps just agree that it's both possible to hold knives without cutting yourself and possess and wield a baseball bat without ruining your sandwich?

Anyways, at this point you're just posting flamebait and I don't particularly enjoy the direction the thread has taken by pulling credentials and implying inadequacy. It's not constructive. I hope at least some readers are convinced that they need not fear the UUID.

Eh. I thought Subversion was way easier to use (and thus better) than git, which is an absolute nightmare of complexity for people who don't need all the bells and whistles (which is most people). But so it goes, times change and all that.
MITs MO is to try to create a breakthrough tech and rapidly spin off startups from the tech. But I think the main barrier is that to operationalize hardware requires massive capital investment upfront for testing and then regulatory approval, this is mostly not possible for VC. So the students/profs who make the breakthrough do the next best thing: Patent and then sell it to a company that has the capital to do it.

But someone can correct me if I am wrong about this.

Some of my ideas, also.

I agree with the four items listed in "Problems with Today's Desktop Environments and Applications". However, these are not the only issues. (I even thing the older Windows 3.1 and even older UI were well enough; you don't need such fancy graphics.)

Your "Monolithic Applications versus Composable Tools" also is reasonable. What you list about Unix philsophy are the good ideas of Unix philsophy; it is too bad that many modern programs don't support it. I would allow command-line and GUI and easily interact between them.

My idea involves capability-based security with proxy capabilities, and a program can send/receive/wait with capabilities it has access to; a message send/received consists of bytes and/or capabilities. (It is also similar than actor model in some ways.) This is what the kernel does (and programs can create their own capabilities called "proxy capabilities"); all I/O is required to use capabilities. (When a program starts, it must receive an initial message containing some capabilities, so that it can do I/O.)

My idea also is to make the format which will be called "Common Data Format"; it can store documents, databases, and other stuff, and can be used in command-line and GUI. (It also involves some of the ideas of OpenDoc, and of TRON Application Databus, but is different from both of them.)

There are also many other considerations: hypertext file system, window indicators, security, TRON character code, network transparency, emulation, etc.

About "Not a New Operating System", my idea would be that the specification can be done and implementations of the individual parts can be done independently and interchangeable, and that an implementation can be made to run stand-alone or inside of another operating system (something that Inferno also does); this can avoid the problems of drivers at first, while when it is made stand-alone, drivers can be made for it in that way, too. However, I do not intend to include a web browser by default.

(For making such a thing on Linux, I don't know exactly what capsicum blocks; capabilities are supposed to required for all I/O including accessing the current date/time. My system idea is similar like if you have only socketpair to create new channels of communication, and being able to send/receive messages that may contain SCM_RIGHTS, and the ability to wait for objects.)
