Is source-available more open than closed source? Yes.

Is fair source more open than source-available? Yes.

Is open source more open than fair source? Yes.

I don't see any attempt at communicating otherwise. Nobody is claiming fair source is as open as open source. Fair source is very clearly defined as not being open source, but it is closer to open source than the alternatives, and even becomes open source, and that's a good thing. We should all be happy about that. But people still find fault...

The OSI doesn't have a monopoly on the word "open." It has meaning, and in these cases it's being used appropriately. It's not an attempt at openwashing.
Gnome 40 is a thing.

Windows 11 is a thing.

I didn't say things can't change. I said don't play games with major version numbers to window dress optics.
Another disingenuous argument ignoring what was actually said. It seems you know that many pronatalists are deeply racist ("we must secure a future for the white race and out children") and view women's agency over their own bodies and lives as a fundamental problem, but are unwilling to deal with it.

But luckily, you declared the argument closed before actually taking time to read the comment...
Absolutely not. War is stopped by having the strongest military. The current global trend of letting everyone do anything they want is working out so well.
Pretty awesome. Would love to use it in CI and locally for our PG product.
We use Prisma, so I guess we have to wait for the connector that looks like pg to plug it in.
Used to be? It's happening as we speak. Birthrate decline is not universal. Mormons have a birth rate of 3.4. Amish and Orthodox Jews are at 6-7!

My brother read "The Hobbit" to my when I was in 2nd grande (or there abouts) and when he was done I wanted him to read it again.He would not and it was a great motivation to learn to read. Maybe just reading things and see what garners the most attention.
IMO, the language is only a small part of a deeper relationship with your IDE. The IDE needs a good debugger, a good introspection system, and good hooks to modify things (ideally anything). Emacs meets this criteria, but few others do. This is why there is a living corpus of 40+ year old elisp that can be drawn upon for functionality and inspiration.
NeoVim also uses Lua and I think nginx does too.
That's exactly why it's done that way. Because the tax is different in every state, county, city, and sometimes an even smaller region. There is something like 2,500 different tax jurisdictions in the USA.

It would be difficult for national brands (or even local brands) to do any marketing or advertising that includes prices, because they would either have to put a range on their ads, or possibly eat all their profit in some areas if they have the same price everywhere.

With the advent of computers this should be more doable, but the brands also have strong lobbies to keep tax payments seperate.
You'd probably have far more 40-50 somethings with a couple decades of experience in the industry their startup is in, who raise funding from co-workers/customers/family members/former employers and not institutions. At that point, your 20 years of experience in the field will outweigh any Ivy League degrees.

What I like about it is how it exposes pretty much all capabilities with no chance of breaking the editor host itself. Just the right balance of constrained-enough-but-seemingly-unconstrained.

You can develop these extensions in JS/TS super-smoothly inside VSC and run-with-F5 to open a new window with your extension running.

But frankly for small-script purposes, it's a bit overkill, unless/until you have enough of those that bundling them all up into one "my extension with all the Foos I demand" begins to make sense.

Unfortunately local-only, private one-off extensions aren't installed as trivially as dumping just-a-script-file in some dot folder and calling it done. I mean it almost is with `~/.vscode/extensions/my-ext/` but not 100% reliable. I have 2 custom exts in there that are always available but 1 that inexplicably never is (but builds & runs error/warning-free with F5). The official installation story is a "vsx package" (probably just a ZIP but haven't looked into it yet).
GOMAXPROCS sets the number of live system threads used to run goroutines. The distinction between 50% of time on 10 cores and 100% of time on 5 cores doesn't really matter here: the recommendation is to set GOMAXPROCS=5 in both cases.
Whenever I hear someone say something like this, I mentally picture a locust with a speech bubble in a locust swarm saying it... "population growth is a given" it is definitely not a given. We will suffer the fate of every other organism that exceeds the carrying capacity of their environment. And right now our civilization is based on mining energy from previous hundreds of millions of years in the form of (C-H bonds) which is the definition of unsustainable.

It doesn't logically follow that anyone controls birth rates by force, you don't need to invoke authoritarianism. Increased death rates/lower life expectancy and infant mortality can and would accomplish the same, entirely with no external driver. But statistics really bury the lede there, since the mechanism for those would be mass starvation, war, and decreased standards of living.
Frankly, I also thought the central system was bad but I got used to it in a week. Now I appreciate the simplicity.

They are included. The standards just vary by vehicle size, which makes obvious sense: you can’t hold a station wagon to the same standard as a two-passenger compact.

It’s also the case that cost already increases with vehicle size. As your own article notes, American consumers have already demonstrated they’re willing to pay huge premiums for larger vehicles.

> Automakers have reasons to sell bigger vehicles outside of emissions regulations. SUVs and trucks typically cost only a bit more to make than smaller vehicles, but consumers have demonstrated that they’re willing to pay as much as 50 percent more for them, making profit margins much higher.
As the article covers, we know it’s going to stabilize, most likely before we hit 11 billion.

If I'm fiddling with the terminal or the font, I know it's because I'm procrastinating. I've trained myself to quickly recognize such side-quests and feel a quick punch of hormonal urgency, which helps me get back to work (with mintty and Consolas). You don't need the bells and whistles.
If one knows enough of about sign systems it is totally possibly to discern a variety of generalized traits and behaviors. The correct study of complex meaning making is semiotics not astrology however semiotic analysis could be performed on astrology to dig deeper into its structure.

This threat is according to "U.S. intelligence officials". The same office that claimed the Iraq has WMDs, or Osama bin Laden was in Afghanistan.

Both Iraq and Afghanistan were subsequently invaded/couped/destroyed, and... are neighbours of Iran.

Iraq did not have WMDs and Osama was caught in Pakistan.

Why "U.S. intelligence officials" say something I consider it "made up lies to further some hidden agenda" nowadays. They are professional liars and they certainly do not work for "the people".
I had a Tesla for a couple of years and then sold it.

I'd buy another EV. I wouldn't buy another Tesla, because of the UX. Lack of physical buttons and changing UI. The infotainment screen crashed a couple of times in a year, the car was fine but suddenly the only place for car status feedback was gone. Lastly, not having a console in front of you, and needing to look to the side to see things like speed limit just felt unacceptable.
For updates you're probably better off just regenerating and replacing the mbtiles file from scratch every time you want a new version, rather than trying to incrementally update it.
I really like the 1+1=3 cognitive load analogy on the cost of adding a "single" click to something. One of the most aggravating things in the last 15 years is a seemingly industry wide decision to "declutter" menus by burying even very simple, common actions 4-5 menus deep, often with icons that have no discernible clear meaning until you click around for a while and figure it out.

Why? Seriously, why?
Is there any indication at all that this is due to businesses bringing their hardware back on-prem? Do you think "history repeats itself" will hold true in the on-prem v. cloud realm?
I understand the sentiment. My goto hammer is Kotlin, which I like a bit better than Go. But that's a highly subjective thing of course. And I use plenty of other languages as well (including very occasionally some Go).

It's not about what is better in general but about what is better for you. Better here means less time wasted with figuring out syntax, tools, APIs, frameworks, etc. Once you know how to do a certain thing in one language, having to relearn to do the same things in another is slightly annoying. Although, LLMs are actually hugely helpful for this these days.

IMHO we're about to see a minor renaissance in web development. I was playing with the Kotlin WASM compiler a few weeks ago just to verify that I could use existing web APIs. As it turns out, it's are all there. Using them might not be the fastest right now but I'm sure that will get improved over time. Garbage collection is already in (and coming soon to Safari as well). There are some inefficiencies with making calls into js that need some attention. But that's not really a show stopper unless you are doing this many times per second.

What that means is that you can just do web application in wasm; use all the stuff from the browser that you normally use but without any javascript (except for a tiny wrapper that loads the wasm). I actually use kotlin-js so it's not a big leap for me. But wasm loads a bit faster and probably compiles a bit faster too. No more webpack uglification needed (which is actually slower than the kotlin compiler). So that's 2x compiler performance right there.

The point here is not kotlin or javascript but that this now works with any language that you can get going with wasm. Including Go if you want. Javascript becomes completely optional. I'm sure some will be upset about that. But that would be mainly because it's their preferred hammer.

Just what you receive, i'd assume. Where reception is a legal definition.

Essentially when a reasonable third party can be said to have received.

Tesla has the worst interface I’ve used in a car (it gets -1000 points for making the driver futz and swipe dangerously on a touch screen to angle the air vent), and it seems to keep getting worse - but the best driving fundamentals I’ve used in a car.

If I could take the lower half of a Tesla Model Y with a totally average Toyota upper half at the Model Y pricing I would buy that car in a heartbeat. Just swapping the infotainment unit to customizable Android Auto with CarPlay and I would consider it. It’s such a shame to have good engineering bundled together with bad opinions.

I don't want to see any foreign interference in US elections (and I also don't think the United States's behavior in interfering in foreign elections in the past was acceptable, but that's neither here nor there at the moment.) But all that said, this does remind me of the reaping and sowing meme:

Cable and mobile plans first and foremost. Those are the worst offenders by far.
Not sure what you mean by "no generics on interfaces"? https://go.dev/play/p/jGINeUt1JTE

Also echoing not sure what you mean by "no consistency in formatting or imports". It is increasingly difficult to use Go without gofmt getting run, since I have to imagine fewer and fewer people nowadays are using an editor that has neither custom support for their language nor LSP integration, and integration with gopls automatically runs goimports on save.
By ignoring it until checkout it lets vendors put lower prices on the shelf which encourages more spending. It is intentionally disfavorable to consumers.
I confirm it works perfectly in CI and locally. I'm using it in CI and locally.

Not sure about Prisma but it works with Drizzle ORM.
Another vote for Kakoune. I think most people will find its approach a bit obtuse at first, but once it starts to click it’s pretty interesting.

Maybe if you’re a seasoned terminal veteran it will make more sense to you right outta the gate. I started using Kakoune not long after I started using the terminal much more heavily, so it was a bit difficult at first, but it has been and continues to be rewarding.

For example, select some text and press the pipe character, and then you can enter a script or shell command (sort, uniq, fmt, etc.). The selected text will be fed to stdin of the command, and then will be replaced with the output.

Combine this power with multiselections, which can be operated on in separate contexts, and you’ve got a stew going.

> Some of the reasons for this trend in Latin America are similar to those elsewhere: There is less social pressure for women to have babies at a young age. Contraception is more accepted and more available. People are living longer and spending more time in school before entering the workforce. Couples tend to wait until achieving a certain standard of living before considering children.

> But there are also reasons specific to Latin America. Simone Cecchini, director of the demographic center at the UN’s Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, says the region has made considerable progress in reducing the number of teenage pregnancies. On the other hand, he notes, its recurrent macroeconomic crises and financial uncertainties tend to discourage people’s interest in becoming parents.

> In 1950, Latin America’s fertility rates were similar to Africa’s. By the end of this century, he says, they will match Europe’s. Demographically speaking, “this is a very significant and rapid change.”

I have been thinking about this a lot. Its quite easy to find arguments to having kids that bring benefits to parents and / or the parent generation in general.

I dont have a philosophy background, so I would be really interested to hear arguments for what benefits an unconceived child receives from being conceived in todays world.

Even when assuming that not all outcomes are necessarily going to be bad, there is a real risk that they will experience a really troubled world. What justifies exposing someone intentionally without their consent to that (any?) risk of suffering?
(I've been studying astrology for many years.)

I remember when this researcher was trying to recruit participants for this study off of social media, which was widely met with skepticism in the serious astrological community.

It is nearly impossible to find truly skilled astrologers who would agree to participate in a study like this off of Twitter, those who have studied the decade(s) or more required to be proficient. Real Astrology requires an uncommon mix of character; one must be both scholarly and intuitive, while also recognizing the symbolic nature of things. These qualities, in the proper balance to succeed at the craft, are rare.

Further, only astrologers who study traditional techniques can yield accurate results, and these "accurate results" are archetypal in nature [1]. Modern astrology is a free-for-all with a very high woo quotient, and mostly caters to the young.

(My personal take is that Astrology is a divinatory, participatory "science", and can't be statistically analyzed [2], though the Gauquelins did just this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_effect)

[1]: By archetypal I mean: astrologer sees Jupiter transiting the 5th house and predicts a child born in the coming year; no human child is born, but given the general signification of the 5th ("children"), the native did publish a book, which they labored over, and loved. Statistically it was a miss, though archetypally it was a hit; this must be understood by all in order for it to be meaningfully true. [2] This is where the impossibility of accurate statistical analysis lives.

If we'd started converting coal power entirely to nuclear in the 1970s and not stopped, we'd have had a chance to avert this. At this point we can still maybe blunt the effect but it's too late.

The big thing is that if the US and Europe had gone fully nuclear by 2000 or so China would have copied that instead of powering its ascent mostly with coal. They're building a lot of solar, wind, and nuclear now but again too late.

Oil for land transportation had to wait until batteries were good enough for cheap practical EVs, but coal fired electricity generation is by far the largest single contributor and is the one that had to be phased out first.

I personally only use AMD (excepting one test machine), but Intel does have the best single-thread performance[1] so if you have some crufty code that you can't parallelize in any way, it'll work best with Intel.

[1]: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html...
For some specific workloads. Many people in the Plex community will point to Quicksync as being superior for media encoding than anything that AMD offers.

The next couple of years will be interesting. If Intel can pull off 18a they will very likely retake the lead, however if 18a underwhelms Intel will be in real trouble. There is also the possibility that AMD chooses Intel as a fab in the future, which would feel a bit like when Sonic showed up on a Nintendo console (for some reason it just feels wrong).
Go fmt is pretty good, but it's not ideal. My biggest gripe is imports. Go fmt will just sort imports alphabetically in lists that aren't separated by a blank line. Goimports will separate out core from 3rd party imports, unless you run it with the local flag then it'll add a third block of "local" imports.

But this spread means that it's not consistent across projects which style is preferred.

Some examples, based on cursory looking at big Go codebases:
- Kubernetes, one of the biggest public-facing Go projects, uses the 3-block style https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/con...
- TIDB uses 2-block style https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/blob/master/pkg/ddl/placemen...
- MinIO uses 2-block https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/internal/grid/con...

In all of those cases if you make a change and just run 'go fmt' it very well could inject any new imports in the first block, which would be wrong and you wouldn't know until project CI picks it up.
Sublime Text could have been perfect, it uses python and it is hot-reloadable, but the API is limited, you can't extend the interface _at all_, want tabs in the build/task panel? nope, want to customize your status bar with clickeable elements? nope
