Thank you for your personal testimony. It's good to hear that in your experience it seems that the insect populations really have dropped. Of course, there may be other reasons - eg if there are highways where it used to be small roads, you would expect insects to stay clear of the area. Also, litter you can see, is not microplastics - you can't see the microplastics.... But they are there! Apparently.
This is an unfortunate situation. While WP Engine could have been a better actor here, the way Automattic have gone about this has made things vastly worse for everyone using Wordpress.

As an aside, I’m curious if Wordpress.org are bound to allow WP Engine access to their plugin SVN under some sort of estoppel theory in U.S. law? 72 hours seems like it’d be too short notice for WP Engine to mirror everything, no?

So I would like to learn more about gravity map matching. I've seen offhand references to it in context of placing an ICBM on target (can't find ref now) but that's it. I imagine it is, (or was for long enough to make info sparse) a classified piece of know-how.

I’m very curious about the fonts available in Cuttle. Are these all free fonts, or did some need to be licensed? Is it possible to use professional fonts which are on your local machine (without exporting as outlines)? How much adjustment needed to be done to make them appropriate for laser cutting etc? Many fonts which make sense for screen or printing need a lot of detail work to make sense for CAD work.
> Again, that is why I used the analogy above. You are arguing that if someone uses a hardcoded value in their code, and won't share how they derived that value, it somehow isn't open source. That, IMO, is wrong.

It feels like you deliberately ignore the source part of "open source". If you have X that produces Y, then X is the source, Y is the output. You cannot "open source" Y as Y isn't a source to anything, it's the output from the source. The only part you can "open source" is the source part, which is X in this case.
I thought SBF interviews I listened to were excellent, with lots of substance and clear explication, especially the interview with Matt levine
1) From the perspective of the manufacturers that's theft of service. The manufacturers will implement measures to ensure your use of the TV is contingent upon them continuing data collecting and serving ads. Think TVs piggybacking off any available wireless connection (even LTE or 5G), or simply refusing to function until the network is set up.

2) That's still a lot of potentially crash-prone crud that's running. Better to just buy a Sceptre or maybe a large computer monitor, and have nothing running that isn't dedicated to "get pixels into eyeballs".
Absolutely insane and cool that it’s possible to grow part of a heart in a lab, put it on a dish, blast it off into space, and study its behavior. So much in our modern world would’ve been a sci-fi dream only a few decades ago.
Maybe insurance should be changed. Everyone has to get insurance, money goes to pool. Then claims are processed. At end of the year totals are tallied and if there has been more claims than paid in extra bill is send to everyone next January. If less claims than expected next years insurance is cheaper.

That's a bit harsh. Note that studying advertising might differ significantly from practicing it. For all you know, there could be a PhD out there researching the moral implications of Facebook's advertising practices during the 2010s.

Draw a graph, write all the decades since computers were invented on the x axis, and "how many computers were sold that year and still work well enough to be resold in 2024". Don't waste time looking it up, just best guess it. Now draw a vertical line where you define the word "retro" to apply, and erase everything to the right. It's a subjective word, so there's no wrong answer. Now re-ask your same question and look at your drawing.

Personally, I see the most interest in "Windows 98 era" retro computing (winamp, age of empires 2, millenium aesthetic), and rarely see 80s stuff anymore, but the people I follow the interests of are probably younger. 10 years ago I would have said 90s, and 10 years before that, 80s, so perhaps you're 20 years older than me? Just a guess.

It's unfortunately very hard to isolate creativity from many competing and interfering aspects. Is an artist creative or are they successful in a field where by tradition every piece must be different (say, music videos). Is an engineer creative because they live in a discipline of severe constraints (say, spacecraft at the edge of the possible). A known issue for artists is having a recognized body of work: many new clients now want some of THAT - and not the precursors of the next body of work, so the artist feels the pressure to produce more of THAT. Is creativity only recognized (and so, favored) when it's followed by success? What about mechanical aspects of creativity - like good executive skills / habits? How about helps from the environment: constraints are one, but also early viewers, managers, critiques, partners that are encouraging - in the right way. "Practice"?! In what? "Taste" is a known aspect with the recognition that it can be hard on newcomers who may already have "good taste" but not yet the technical, gestural skill to produce and meet that bar. Teachers (in all meanings) that make sense and are capable of explaining how they or others operate. And on and on.

So I have been trying to focus on specific antagonists. Recognizing what forms of creativity matter to me; Solving for "block"; Solving for "time".

For those who haven’t read the book, Amusing Ourselves to Death is incredible, and absolutely worth reading. One of my mentors gave it to me years ago and it became one of those mind blowing reads.

In the book, Postman analyzes how media affects humans and society. He basically gives a framework for predicting and understanding the effects of different types of media. The book was written before social media, so the examples are books, newspapers, tv, radio, etc. But so much of social media seems obvious once you read his analysis.

Every time I see the typical discussion (person A: social media makes people dumb; person B: Plato said books make people dumb) I think that the discussion could use some Postman - not all media affects us in the same way - some media encourages behaviors that are good for society, and some media encourages behaviors that are bad for society.
Only house standing in Hiroshima was made out of stone. Stone is far superior as a material to withstand extreme winds, no hurricane comes close to a nuclear bomb. So there is really no reason to argue wood can be as strong, it can't, you can of course make a stone building that is as brittle as wood though.

My more relevant point to the OP, with reference to your comment, is that no, we are not amusing ourselves to death. It's more that we are worrying ourselves to death, despite a lack of personal indicators about this or that. If you want to proceed meaningfully to self, this requires prioritising one's personal experience over the provided stats, which are as much a control/guidance mechanism as anything.
Maybe not mind-blowing, but it sounds like a cost-effective and reliable solution. And the 20MW is for a single plant, the proposal talks about multiple plants at the same site.

Thank you for your kind words.

A library form of TXR for embedding is not off the table. I've not made that a priority because I regard the embedding of high level, powerful languages inside programs written in low-level systems programming languages to be a bit of an anti pattern. (Not an unpopular one, to be sure). The things that have to be written in a low level language should be the components loaded into the higher level program.

An important nuance is that sometimes the embedding host program is itself a higher level language. For instance, maybe someone might want to use Rosie out of Python. But I didn't write TXR to be something that I embed in programs written in other languages of that sort. It's not something I would do myself. If the users find that something useful, and someone writes an excellent patch for that then I suppose why not.

There's a maintenance burden in that. You need an API. It needs to be documented, I'm carefully maintained with regard to backwards compatibility and all that. If it exposes the object model rather than just passing strings then the semantics of the memory handling become visible to the hosting program. That adds an additional maintenance burden, because now changes that you make in memory management can possibly break unknown programs out there. I also suspect people will be coming to you to debug their integration issues for them.

There are good reasons not to do it other than just the anti-pattern aspect.
What modern scheme is best to use for these "the little x'er" book series? Some of them suggest their dialect (like learner suggests Racket I think), but what about others?
In short, what scheme is the most practical and useful nowadays?

Here is the result of my research so far, in order of preference according to the above requirements:

Guile: most active community, GNU glue language, Guix

Chicken: most pragmatic one with a package manager but older

Chez: most performant one, less active community and libraries
I like it. Sure its better than windows.
I started using computers with Windows XP and Windows 7 and the computer experience was way saner than what we have now (but that may due to the fact that everything was local in my town as internet access was scarce). It was a creation machine as well as a consumption one, mostly because it was not expected to have a 24/7 connection to the internet and software has to be file interoperable instead of having data silo in databases. No notifications other than system ones. And actual desktop design for the UI.
So, objective science is untrustworthy and subjective testimony is easily explained away. Let me guess - only your opinion is the one that matters.

You have a poorly-crafted answer for both sides of the coin, but also fail to read the details of the things you oppose.

As an electronics engineer, I have tried it for such tasks, without success. I specified requirements (only the key/rarer ones, typically 1 or 2) and asked it to find components. It failed miserably, typically just insisting that some related but much more common component satisfied the requirement. More and more apologetic as I tired to guide/coax it along.
I know that there are a few components available that satisfy the requirement, as well as several hundred that do not. And I know that the information is in digitally readable PDF files (as opposed to scans).

This specific failure might be s kind of averaging problem, where common answers around the general theme are preferred over more specific (and correct).
LLMs can also fail completely at trivial concepts such as negation, or separating between "Y above X" and "Y below X".

Hey, I've just spent an hour creating my first design with Cuttle - and I'm very impressed! You're right that it has a very short learning curve, especially coming from a hobbyist CAD and programming background.

A few random thoughts/questions/suggestions (and apologies if I've missed options or existing functions):

* Would it be possible to add edge snapping?

* Could there be a slicker way to switch from the central origin for shapes? (Central is frustrating as it means having to change position every time I tweak the size.) Being able to easily select an arbitrary corner as the origin with a click would be great; maybe even auto-selecting the origin based on snapping two shapes together - i.e. 'anchoring' the shape based on snapping it to another one?

* Any way of exporting multiple components in one go, without clicking through for each one?

* Being able to set custom rounded corners with a list is great, but it's not easily discoverable!

* It might be neat to have a pop-up offering boolean options when snapping or overlapping shapes?

* Given the (I think?) JS under the surface, is it possible to import data, either as a CSV or an image from which pixel values can be read?

* Lastly, any thoughts on offering an intermediate 'hobbyist' paid tier? I'd be strongly tempted to support you and access some of the paywalled features, but $19/month is honestly too high for an occasional/fun hobby product.
The most striking thing about all this is just how bad everyone on Adams staff and himself were at it. When I worked for a local government I was told all my communications could get FOIAd so to be careful about what I did and I wasn't even working on anything sensitive or illegal.
Do you ever verify those explanations, though? Because I occasionally try having an LLM summarise an article or document I just read, and it's almost always wrong. I have my doubts that they would fare much better in "understanding" an entire codebase.

My constant suspicion is that most results people are so impressed with were just never validated.

In the case of television screens, the net profit margins on sales of these devices are in the single-digit percentages. Fairly thin, around 4-7%. Higher-end products, such as cutting-edge flagship products (e.g. 100"+ MicroLED television screens) will have higher margins, but lower production yields, and orders of magnitude lower sales volume. These products don't need to be replaced year after year, and most buyers are not selecting a product based on the technical specifications and performance, rather the screen-size per dollar (or whatever currency used) and other factors such as aesthetic appeal of the device in the home environment. The average lifetime, before replacement, of a television screen in North America is somewhere around 5-7 years, and you don't need one in every room of your home or living space.

The commodification of screens from both the production side (i.e. newer entrants to the market from Chinese manufacturers) and from the content portal side (i.e. Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, etc) is a major strategic problem for the television brands you are probably most familiar with. The forementioned examples of content portals are coming from companies that are fundamentally based around advertising, and the companies that were traditionally about manufacturing realized that the advertising revenue opportunity was too good to give up. They are trying to grow their revenue, and profitability, and see that they won't be able to do so from their original core businesses. This is also why you're seeing all of these "FAST" (Free, Ad-supported Streaming Television) services popping up from the tv manufacturers themselves.

Vizio, for example, was a value-oriented producer of televisions and related products. In 2021, as Vizio became a public company, they disclosed that they make more than twice the profit from their advertising/service business than their device sales (https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/10/22773073/vizio-acr-adver...). Walmart is now acquiring Vizio for that business and the opportunity to collect customer data (https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2024/02/20/walmart-agrees...).

Roku is another good focused example because they are a publicly traded company and you can analyze their income statements and business model. Their hardware devices are basically being sold at cost or at a loss so they can seed the market and create an audience (i.e. their inventory) for their high-margin advertising services business.

Google and Amazon also want a large piece of this pie. Apple is starting to show that they want advertising money too.

We are also seeing cases where the television devices themselves can be produced cheap enough to be given away to users that opt into advertising (e.g. Telly: https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/15/23721674/telly-free-tv-st...). When this dynamic is economically viable (i.e. give away the hardware, make the money via ads), you can see how big of a problem traditional television device manufacturers have.
The dissertation is about understanding how it works. You are then free to apply the learnings to anything you want or hate.

Yes, because of "The GDPR applies to 23andMe because we market and provide the Personal Genetic Service in EU Member States through our UK, EU and International sites."

The problem is that the EU parliament thinks this does not work, because US companies can be (secretly) coerced into giving data to the US government, even without telling the affected EU citizens (the EU commission has a different view). And the EU cititzen have no way of going to court over this. And a US company can't guarantee in any way to protect EU citizen data.

Which also the reason that all the *Shields failed and were killed by EU courts [0]

The view of the parliament is that you can't export personal data to the US at all as a company, so 23andMe can put up anything on the website they want, either they don't export data to the US (my Walgreen example) or they do, then they do it illegally.

So I (again, IANAL) would say this is marketing speak aimed towards users and has no relevancy.

> On November 5, Adams surrendered that mobile phone – but there was a hitch.

> “When Adams produced his personal cellphone the next day in response to a subpoena, it was 'locked,' such that the device required a password to open,” the indictment said. “Adams claimed that after he learned about the investigation into his conduct, he changed the password" that same day "and increased the complexity of his password from four digits to six.”

> The mayor said he’d changed the password to prevent members of his staff from accidentally deleting anything.

> “But, Adams further claimed, he had forgotten the password he had just set, and thus was unable to provide the FBI with a password that would unlock the phone,” the indictment says.
