I would encourage you to change your mind! The vast, vast majority of humanity would consider you a moral monster for believing such a thing. Many awful, awful things "used to be normal", and many things we take for granted today, future societies will (hopefully) see as awful as well! Why should we care about fetuses? Instead of the standard argument, I will appeal to "The Human Experience". I think we should care because at one point, you were a 20 week old fetus, with a mother who loved you. And you were knit in the womb in the Image of God, and when you were born your parents had dreams and hopes for you that you are likely living out now. And hopefully one day you will have children of your own, to love and care for, and you will try to give them everything you didn't have and fail to do so, but when your kids grow up, they will know that you have tried. That is why we should care, not for child mortality rates or cultural customs or anything, but because you are part of an unbroken chain of shattered dreams and undying hopes.

edit: (fixed some typos) And eulgro? I hope you read this. I promise you from the bottom of my heart, you are loved.
Nice idea! "The Grid" sounds like an appropriate name
Rust has some great and useful web frameworks that are a joy to use, once you understand what is going on. For example, in Axum, they use traits cleverly to allow you to use dependency injection the same way that fastapi uses it. But at least when I started using it, that wasn’t an insight made bluntly clear with tutorials as good as tiangolo’s. Instead, I had to piece it together via examples in the axum repo as well as from watching a youtube video.

Don’t fear, Rust can be as simple and clever as any other language. And the Rust core OSS developer community has spent at least the last ten minor versions improving dev ex considerably.
My experience has been dealing with FASD or strongly-suspected FASD kids is incredibly, incredibly difficult. Quote-unquote typical parenting or teaching techniques are of no use, and even what you learn for general "trauma" issues I have found to be inadequate. It really is above and beyond other issues I have dealt with.
For the ones that I make to look pretty, the data is colored in buckets of 8 bits, using the bit-count per byte to select a shade in 8 steps from 0-255. So there's at least 8 times less data than you would need. Then it is downsampled 4x to get nice antialiasing, so that is more data loss.

I do have a bit-mode, and if you rendered at high enough resolution you could do it, maybe something like 32k x 32k. But this is a very inefficient way to store a disk image. :)

What if you literally can’t think of a work position that would make you happy? Just talking out loud and not expecting an answer from you, but that’s just what was going on in my head while reading your comment.

Perhaps I am too burned out, but I couldn’t imagine feeling happy working with a team, an manager and hard problems.

Probably my “happy” job would consist in full agency with no managers, no peers to veto or judge or comment or compete on/with my work, extremely low intellectual requirements, part-time time commitment at best, and wages good enough to still make it objectively worth my time compared to my portfolio (shared a lot more context in another comment on this thread).

I understand all this might be a tad unrealistic, so just venting.
> EMULATORS ARE PRIMARILY USED FOR PIRACY.

It is funny that when you replace EMULATORS with GUNS and PIRACY with INJURING AND KIllING, the very same people advocacing for the bans of emulators are the ones arguing that guns are for protection and not to harm others.

But all emulators user combined don't harm nearly as much humanity as a single gun owner does.

That links to an essay at https://www.americanheritage.com/why-do-we-call-it-america which says in an editor’s note that “Portions of this essay originally appeared in The American Voice.” The americanheritage.com version looks very similar to this one.

One bit of feedback, It's not immediately clear what text is supported for setting time and date (e.g. sep 26, 09/26 (US), 26/09 (other regions). Maybe adding a "?" button somewhere in the input section would help with that?
uBlock is one of the good ones, but for the rest of extensions, the majority of them are literal malware. Usually originally developed by someone decent, and then sold off to someone else who uses them maliciously.

It looks like the recent changes are all about slowly locking down what extensions can do because it’s currently a free for all where random anonymous extension owners have full access to everyone’s browsers.

Today sure, it just needs support from a major player. Not -that- long ago, nearly every mfg had their own OS(Blackberry, Meego/Symbian, Win Mobile, Palm, etc) and each had enough apps.

If Samsung or Huawei or probably even Motorola decided to ditch Android and go all in on Sailfish, we'd see support for apps in short order. But as a third party OS you have to install yourself, it's basically dead in the water.

What BlackBerry did before giving up was a smart approach, they basically just converted Android apps to BlackBerry ones for you. And that'd be a fast way to get bootstrapped. They just didn't have enough steam left in them, sadly.
It would be truely impactful, but I don't think in a positive way.

It's equivalent to moving to eggs, and getting morally immature individuals immediately get a full grown body. I might be mistaken, but it feels like reversing the whole evolutionary process that brought humans, when as a species we're currently pretty well adjusted to our earth environment. I don't think "nature" or evolution should be seen in a positive way just for the sake of it, but our whole history has consistently extended the childhood period, and we're still pointing at young adults as immature.

It's of course a different story if you're planning on dominating earth with an army of clones, or dominating space with a fleet of soldiers.

I am not saying the gestures in Android and iOS (app switching, etc) are actually the value add, but in fact things like toggles for options, or a "=" where the options are available to turn on/off. Sailfish forces gestures for things inside an application as well.

No doubt Meego innovated on ideas, but just because they came up with something doesn't make it "good" and just because Apple/Google copied it doesn't prove the validity of the idea.

To that point I would prefer we used more screen real estate (Android, iOS, whatever) and REDUCED the usage of gestures, it would end up being faster. It sometimes takes me multiple attempts to swipe from the bottom on a Android/iOS to get it to do something because I have a screen protector and/or case and the way I'm interacting the with the device is different than the developers who might have worked with a "nude" device.

The screen protector/case issue made UI navigation even worse on Sailfish devices because you had to use this gesture inside a program, not just to switch between applications.

Ubuntu Touch also has a swipe, but from the side where a screen protector is slightly less likely to affect it's ability to register the gesture.

I don’t know about that. I already knew a little Rust last month when I wanted to write a REST API server that would benefit from being deployable as a single executable. I probably spent a grand total of 2-3 hours researching which framework to use (actix-web for me), reading the code, and implementing the endpoints I needed. The end result ended up looking an awful lot like a Python Flask app. The actual code writing part of the project wasn’t any more complicated than using any other language might’ve been.

Learning Rust and learning web service programming at the same time would have a steep curve. If you already know the basics of Rust and have written web services before, writing a new one in Rust needn’t be stressful.

You're not alone in finding the name poetic: see https://www.blackshoals.net/

"Black Shoals Stock Market Planetarium is an art project created by Joshua Portway and Lise Autogena.

The project takes the form of a darkened room with a domed ceiling upon which a computer display is projected, like a planetarium. Audiences are immersed in a world of real-time stock market activity, represented as the night sky, full of stars that glow as trading takes place on particular stocks.

In Black Shoals each traded company is represented by a star, flickering and glowing as shares are traded. The stars slowly drift in response to the complex currents of the market, while outlining shapes of different industries and the huge multinational conglomerates like the signs of the zodiac. The movement of the stocks is based on calculated correlations between the histories of each stock and those of its near neighbours. The stronger the correlation between the histories of the stock prices of any two companies, the more powerful the gravitational attraction between them. Although they start out randomly distributed in the planetarium, over time the stars clot together and drift into slowly changing constellations, nebulae and clusters. Through this technique different industries naturally start to emerge as galaxies. Any general disturbance in a section of the market will have a visible effect on the sky – the collapse of Enron, for instance, would have caused a sort of black hole - all the companies affected would glow very brightly due to the level of trading and would be pulled in to a single point in a very powerful vortex."

Same query and image:

This line graph illustrates the working-poor rate of the US labour force from 1986 to 2022 (those working and below the designated poverty line). The graph can be broken down into 3 main proceedings.
1. The first spike in working-poor individuals was displayed in 1992.
2. That peak was then over shadowed by a dramatic incline and following higher peak in 2010 possibly caused by the 2008 housing crisis
3. 2010 was then followed almost immediately by a steady decline to the point of bringing the working-poor rate below 4 percent for the first time in 30 years in 2022.

I’m missing no point precisely because there is no point whatsoever in asking people’s views on free will while first assuming determinism is, which is prima facie relying on facts not in evidence AKA assuming the conclusion AKA begging the question AKA a classic example of a circular reasoning fallacy.

The effect of a deterministic universe on the question of free will is only of interest once we determine we’re in such a universe. We have not done so. At this stage asking that question is no more or less meaningful than asking how everyone feels about living in a universe in which the answer is 43 or where we know the circle can be squared.

Now, yes, the question of how fundamental indeterminacy would effect free will is also premature, though arguably more interesting if only because it hasn’t been churned over by pedants for millennia.

> Not surprisingly, the notion that America was named for Vespucci has long been universally accepted, so much so that a lineal descendant, America Vespucci, came to New Orleans in 1839 and asked for a land grant "in recognition of her name and parentage."

I found this little aside in the opening paragraph interesting. Who did she ask? And was she successful?

A quick google search didn’t turn up much about America Vespucci. I did find one article about her that makes her sound very interesting [1], but no mention of the above request. I’m guessing from the way she moved around after 1839 her request was not granted, though.

Last android phone I bought (my current device, got it as a refurb, ill never buy new again its a waste of money) supports high speed usbc with display and data out. Usb3.2 gen2 I think it is. I specifically chose this phone because of the high speed usb transfer rates. I use the 128gb storage for data transfer all the time and I also like being able to plug it in to usbc monitors and use it as a desktop when I need quick compute functions and don't want to lug a pc around or boot up my actual desktop.

I make sure most of my clients whenever they buy new monitors get usbc hub monitors. The price is bugger all extra and once I show them what I can do with my phone they basically want the same. Not to mention I haven't installed a laptop workstation space that isn't usb c one cable to plugin and go in about 3 years now.

I love sq. It's handy for quickly performing simple operations on DBs and outputting that as CSV or JSON. Though my one wish is that the sq query language (SLQ) supported substring matching like SQL's `... LIKE "SOME_STRING%"`. Though you can just invoke SQL manually with `sq sql`

I want to highlight that this paper should be read in the same spirit as "guess what! we figured out how to cross-compile C into JavaScript using Emscripten" came across to everyone back in the day before our modern viewpoint where WebAssembly was taken for granted.

> To be fair, it is less applicable to math papers, than other topics, but academic papers are not easy to get information from, the main thing they are supposedly exist for.

You say that this is less applicable to math than other topics, which is funny—as a mathematician, I'd think that it's more applicable! In the strictest sense of the word, the purpose of a math paper is not to allow others to get information from it, though of course a good math paper will do that. The purpose is to show definitively (in the very strong mathematician's sense of the word, stronger even than the physical scientist's sense) that something is true. Especially for the first proof of an ‘obvious’ fact like, say, the four-color theorem, filling in all the necessary rigor can be at odds with clarity. That is, it is exactly when one is tempted to skip over some point with an appeal to the reader's intuition that one must most carefully fill in those details. (Lots of wrong proofs of the four-color theorem came from explicit or implicit appeals to mistaken intuition.)

Back in 2016, I went to English courses in one of the cities in Russia. The teachers didn’t like me because I had an Eastern Ukrainian passport. I joked about Armenians, and the teacher told them about it. And the Armenians asked their diaspora to write a denunciation of me to the Russian special services. They wrote that I allegedly called the Russian president a monkey and was going to kill the president. This is not true. Then they did it so that this reached the president himself in one of the reports.

And when the village where I live came under Russian control in 2023, the Russian GRU gave me a neurotoxin that makes your head go numb. And they said that they would continue to give me the neurotoxin until I ended up in a madhouse.

I moved to Poland, but they didn’t help me there because it turned out that Ukraine had exchanged me. And they continued to poison me. I found a neurotoxicologist in the USA, she wrote me a letter inviting me for treatment in America. But I am not given a US visa at the embassy in Poland (I tried twice). They refuse because of «wrong type of visa». I am applying for a visa for treatment.

If someone could help me with an invitation letter to the US. It could save my life.

Not sure what you mean. We have CSDs available for people who like it, but they can be turned on and off.

If you're talking about random GTK apps that run on Xfce, there's not much we can do about that; we don't set app policy.

That's one of the nicer things about Wayland, though: there's a way for the compositor to tell applications "I'll draw the decorations". On X11 there's no protocol for that, only a way for an app to tell the window manager it wants to draw its own, without a way for the WM to say "no, don't do it".
Why do they qualify as ‘solutions’ in the first place, if the ‘solution’ cannot withstand some percentage of people pursuing self interest above all else? (Which has always been the case to varying degrees since the first organized polities arose ~5k to ~10k years ago)

If I recall correctly, FM needs the higher frequency carrier band to actually M the F effectively. You'd also need much longer antennas for this. The amplitude-modulated signal also needs far less bandwidth than a frequency-modulated one, so it would not "fit" at ~1000kHz because there are other reserved bands nearby.
Ditto. In terms of other stuff, I'm thinking about x2go, which I still use religiously? I'm curious, is Wayland anywhere on this?

If you find the language rigorous, a web framework can't magically do away with that. It's genuinely illogical to believe so. There are plenty of web frameworks on Rust that are quite nice to use, but they are still Rust, with all its shortcomings in the same way Django is still Python with all its shortcomings.

What you're asking for is a DSL built on top of Rust for the purpose of creating web apps.
