The problem is (or at least was) with the people in political chairs playing power games. No amount of better regulations or technology can prevent fucking morons going on power trips screwing everything up and then get away with it.

I build quite basic websites for money. Today I use WordPress and write some combination of PHP/JavaScript with Advanced Custom Fields where I need custom storage. So tbh anything else has gotta be better! This means I have both front end and back end aspects under my personal control.

I want to be able to be able to code in a more natural back end setting - I like Raku, others may prefer Go (or Rust or PHP or JS). I am not ready to commit to a complex event driven framework like using the WordPress backend and React on the front end. But I do recognise that a pure browser only model for UX is too crummy … let’s say I want to validate an email … well if I specify input email in HTML, my browser will pop and ugly dialog if there is no @ in the input.

So HTMX gives me my backend coding preference and a clean way to add simply tweaks to the UX. That is the power of HTMX for me.

I don’t think HTMX is a good solution is you want to write Google Maps or Facebook. But it is a great way for straightforward sites to be written and I do not understand why I will be forced to step into JS front end rewrites if I go this route (and I can happily bundle some JS + CSS + HTML into an HTMX response for the islets where I need it.

As actual books, Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, which a BBS friend of mine gave me when he squatted for a few days in my parent's garage, and Eduardo Galleano's Memory of Fire trilogy, a narrative literary history of Latin America, which the Jesuits made me read. I'd still recommend both today. On the other hand, there's the BBS tfile "Anarchist's Cookbook" (there are dozens of different compilations) probably had a more profound influence on my career than anything else I've ever read, and is what shifted me out of computer games and into the work I do now, when I was in sophomore year of high school. I'm lucky I didn't blow a finger off, though.

An older laptop makes a fine server. Even if the battery only runs for 30 minutes, it is ample time to gracefully shutdown. Running RPi's on a UPS negates the initial lower cost. When I use RPi as a microserver (without a UPS), I install Alpine Linux and make the root FS read-only. Seems to marginally improve reliability.
I’ll give a few.

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison (and the great TA I had teaching the course) got me to change my major to English as a college freshman. I was just hit with a thought like, “I’ve never read anything like this and I’ve never heard a teacher want to talk about books this deeply.”

Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell showed a voice that I’d never heard before — knowledgeable about history, indie rock, cult movies, rural living, and very funny. It was like, “This is exactly who I want to be.”

Then I spent my whole life thinking I was a disorganized person and through the power of a really good memory I was able to hold things together at work. Then I read Mindset by Carol Dweck and Everything In Its Place by Dan Charnas that convinced me that a) I was holding myself back by thinking I was a disorganized person and that b) I could become an organized person. Maybe the best professional decision I’ve ever made because it turns out that being organized is really really useful.
I propose a new rule.

It feels like it's just not possible in general to emulate the full instruction set of any CPU with an MMU with an acceptable performance to run modern software. QEMU running Windows for x86 on an M1 isn't very fast either.

Only emulating the portion of the instruction set available from the userspace is another story though. At least the way Apple does it with Rosetta and Microsoft with whatever their thing is called, you don't even notice that an app is running under emulation. The only giveaway is that it takes a noticeable time to start for the first time while the code is being translated. It's truly impressive.

Apple used to have the best developer relationships ever. You would get assigned an “evangelist,” who would act as your factor, within Apple. I think Guy Kawasaki was very involved with that.

The company I used to work for, did a very similar thing, with photographers.

These kinds of programs are really hard to represent as ROI, though, so they are hard to “evangelize,” within the company, so to speak.

Really? It's been nearly 20 years since Reprap, it's hard to imagine it maturing any more. If I get one I'll probably treat it like a belt sander or something, a tool that sits in the garage with plenty of fresh air. Agreed that it's a little concerning knowing some people that sit in a closed space with a dozen of these running (at that point you can smell the hot plastic...) but using common sense with good ventilation goes a long way.

Silver Lake (the owner of WPEngine) is a PE, not a VC.

-----

PEs tend to target investments in mature companies instead of early stage to growth stages companies.

It's just another form of capital for companies that have decided to stay private, or wish to return to private ownership.

Oftentimes, if leadership makes the choice to do one or the other, that means the company isn't doing as hot, because until recently, listing publicly and raising capital on a strong listing was fairly doable.

That said, imo this does lead to a bit of a bias about the outcomes of PE ownership, because if you are choosing PE ownership, that often means investors and potentially even leadership just want an exit and don't care as much about the underlying product anymore.

A portion of a property tax is a land value tax, but 1) it’s only one portion of it and 2) it’s the opposite of the portion that you just described.

It’s very specifically not based on how you use the land. And that’s literally the core fact of the system. The two calculations yield entirely different incentives. It’s clear you misunderstood it. I recommend reading the book itself as it will be clearer than you’ve apparently had it explained.

The last paragraph sums it up:

Aging residents felt there were too many of them and not enough people to look after them.

If they didn't want to drive the cats to extinction ("gradually reduce") then why did they do it to every cat?

In the war I fought in, there was a markedly different approach to combat air ops between even just the different service branches. The Army tended to use the Apache like it was a flying tank, hovering and delivering ordinance; the Marines (which is where I fought) flew as low and as quickly as possible even while sending rounds and hellfire missiles downrange. The marines were not losing aircraft in anywhere close to the numbers of the Army when I was there. You need a skilled operator to hit a helicopter moving at 100 knots when it's 15m over the buildings, and we mostly operated at night. I remember watching a ZPU gunner pointing the cannons directly at us and firing, and laughing as the rounds just flew behind the tail.

It's my understanding (and from watching the videos that I can get as a civilian) that the Russians still aren't operating their helicopters in a manner that I would be comfortable with if I was inside one. I certainly wouldn't be pumped flying in the environment they are in, with so many MANPADS out there, but there is no way a machine I was in would be hit with an anti-tank missile while we hovered (as was in the article.)

Lot of preamble to say: no, I don't think the attack helicopter is dead. Attack helicopters are nimble and can hide in terrain quite well, and even when an attacking force can see them it takes a skilled operator to actually hit them. The single use drones that operate like kamikaze vehicles may throw a winkle into the mix, but a helo flying at 150knots is going to be very challenging to hit for one of those. I expect there will be quite an arms race countering and then counter countering these in the future wars.
Thank you! That makes a lot more sense than several other descriptions of the proof I have read (and promptly forgotten!)
Spaying/neutering every cat results in _all_ the population not making it more than a generation out, right?
Fulfilled by Amazon is a 3rd party seller program where you send your items for sale to Amazon to be colocated and commingled with other 3rd party FBA seller items with the same SKU and also 1st party Amazon products with that SKU. If that sounds like a horrible idea for all involved, I would agree.

How about this:

1. A read is returned with a map of the network the replying node has become consistent with.

2. A client that is not satisfied with the map can read again from the other partition.

These two steps get around the proof by changing one of its assumptions (that the operation to read a value can only involve a request to one node).
This is such a left-field comparison. One H100 costs $25,000, whereas one Macbook Pro/iMac/iOS device costs roughly a tenth of that. It's not at all surprising that it's cheaper to rent something that has CapEx costs 2 orders of magnitude less than that of 8xH100 ($200k for the GPUs alone).
I have no interest in becoming more educated about which seller from which factory run has what kind of quality standards. That’s why I use Costco and Target and Walmart and Amazon and Uniqlo and other brands to go out there and do that work. All I want to know is that I’ll be able to return something if it isn’t satisfactory.
Ehh, mostly yes, with the notable exception that we need stay aware that there is a ton of room for what "treated weird" can mean in practice, and a lot of it can fall miles outside of "fair and correct".
As one of the “sporadic players” they mention, I’m far less likely to buy at $5 than $2. Even when it went from $1 to $2, the jackpot had to get much bigger before I cared.

I’m trying to think of a jackpot number I’d spend $5 on… I don’t think it exists.

Is there anybody local that wants the cats to stay? Sounds to me like the program is working as intended. Sure tourists love it, but if there's nobody local to look after the animals welfare, it should end the way it's been planned it seems to me.
