Java had a lot of things going on for it. Huge marketing push, whole set of everything both language and lib-wise, and killer domain which was SIM and mobile which if you wanted to do it was your only choice. Rust has no such things at the level Java had when it rose. It's more of an organic grassroots movement certain companies have started to pick up.
Yeah - I feel like everyone who would want one of these would rather build one than pay $189 for it :/

At the early stage, your financial model should be simple, flexible, and focused on key metrics. Start with a cash flow projection to understand your burn rate and runway. Build a model that covers multiple scenarios, like best case, worst case, and likely case. Your core metrics should include customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), and monthly recurring revenue (MRR). Google Sheets works fine for this stage, but if you want something more robust, tools like LivePlan or Finmark offer good templates. Keep it modular so you can adjust easily as new variables come up.
What makes you think it isn't happening in the wild? Evolution does not happen on the timescales of human lifetimes.
It is happening in the world. It just looks more like Asian carp and zebra mussels and kudzu than a nice diverse ecosystem.

But do Americans really celebrate Columbus' day because they think he was a good person? Or is it just that the name "Columbus" signifies the discovery (and the conquest of course) of the land in which live today?
Very useful, I hadn’t heard of that. I think it must not be shipped by default in steams built in proton support, but I will look into it.

The Ulanzi TC001 devices are kind of near (without the double screen and all the buttons and stuff) for around $50. IIRC they have an ESP32 and have at least 1 or 2 alternative opensource firmwares.
C# is the language with the best degree of control over allocation among all GC-based languages. You can write code that is completely allocation-free including abstractions. Most "data processing" APIs in the standard library do not allocate at all or allocate once for initializing e.g. lookup tables.

The actual issue is existing selection of runtimes for embedded platforms is limited: https://nanoframework.net/ and https://www.wildernesslabs.co/device (to be fair, a friend of mine uses the second one for automating his lab for his microfluidics devices research project, so it is useful).

Nah, I went from jquery to Backbone, Angular, and React. I don't miss jquery, and I like the functional/declarative APIs of JSX. It's a lot like just writing HTML, and CSS, and I still write plenty of JS as pure functions or plain objects, and they're lovely to test.

Things I've learned by my 28th birthday
yes agree and ... there are civilized constructs of exchanges with strangers, that serve both sides in win-win. Those seeking rent, or profit from artificial scarcity, are not (directly) served in these exchanges. Over time, government, at its core a creature of taxation and enforcement, slides down the slope of making rules to the liking of rent-seekers. Open capital markets abhor "free" exchanges as wasted profits, and find ways to lie, cheat and steal their way into the exchange (buying Github and washing all the source licences with CoPilot for example).

This is only helpful if you are using a desktop environment. What about window managers like i3?
Kind of. Climate change has occurred in the past, and climate and weather are chaotic systems. But we can still determine where the attractor lies, and that it’s moving.

I still think we shouldn’t focus on climate change, since the majority of the population won’t understand, nor care.

Instead focus on environment, which is what you’re living in right now. The benefit is that doing what’s good for the environment year on year would also accomplish what’s good for climate
One of the author's primary complaints about their prior ReMarkable was the poor pressure sensitivity while sketching. So there's an argument to be made that switching tech to make it better for sketching is worthwhile. The argument would land better if they actually succeeded at the goal -- the reviewer found an improvement, but not a great improvement.
The whole crux of the conspiracy theory is that you will be prevented from leaving a "15 minute" diameter zone from your house, which would be a significantly limiting restriction.

Appreciate the response (and the blog post itself)! I probably worded my question poorly, but I'm more wondering about executing schema migrations against a large number of DO's as part of a deployment (such as 1 per customer).

I suppose the answer is "it's easier to have 1 central database/DO", but it feels like this approach to data storage really shines when you can have a DO per tenant.

Vue and Svelte are just as complex as React, I'd argue Vue often ends up being even more complex than react even though the barrier to entry is a bit lower for novices. If you disagree, I encourage you to link to a mature project on github built with svelte or vue that you regard as an example of simplicity.

I'm old, but when I was in school, Columbus was absolutely talked about as if he were not just a good person, but in almost saintly terms.
I've had a ReMarkable 1 for a few years (including doing a bit of hacking [0]). My advice is don't rely on doing anything it wasn't designed for. It's fun to make it do novel things, but software updates can introduce breaking changes. There are plenty of Android tablets with e-ink that do support running arbitrary code.

A few years ago, I built a simpler version of that device myself.

As you said: A 90% solution is easy to hack together. I had mine displaying Skype for Business status so my colleagues would know if I was in a call or just listening to music.

The harder part or much rather the time consuming part is getting a good status message from the installed apps. It looks like there is plenty of software and APIs available.
I doubt this is an issue.

Not because wind wouldn't affect an empty booster; it certainly would.

But since the booster returns within 8 minutes of the launch, the weather in which a booster lands is restricted to the weather in which they will launch a rocket.
There are many coral reef systems doing quite well.

The great barrier reef living system is only about 6k-8k years old. Much of that was land not too long ago.

The sea level rose there about 20k years ago (coinciding with the Last Glacial Maximum) and slowed to a near halt 6k years ago allowing coral to grow there.
It is a bit pricey, but probably not overpriced. This kind of niche product is not going to get good economies of scale, those custom molded plastic parts are going to get pretty expensive when not being produced by the million.
For a long time my significant use case for Google Web Search (GWS) was date-ranged search. DDG had relative bounds (past day/week/month/year), but not a custom range. That changed a couple of years back, and has been excellent.

Now it's mostly really old websites, > ~20 years. Here Google's crawl still seems more robust than DDG's / Bing's. (And yes, DDG leans heavily on Bing.)

Again, I use DDG and retry failed searches via !g bang search. But that's rarely any better.

FastGPT via Kagi is transformational in that I can ask questions and get answers, rather than turning up web pages. Kagi's GPT adds links which reference its sources, which is hugely more useful than ChatGPT in my experience. FastGPT still occasionally hallucinates, but its sources can be much more readily verified. ChatGPT OTOH, hallucinates sources when requested to provide them.

Do I understand correctly that you could to this with OBS on any platform, including Wayland? I'm reading many comments that make me think either many people don't know about OBS, or I'm overestimating it's abilities.
I think you are also giving yourself too much credit on the separability of tense and mood and if it does not fit into your mental model you are discarding all other options. You can do the same research yourself. Mood and tense are not always separable as you might think. Morphology is a red herring here. It clearly transmits the essential time information and also adds mood no-confirm structure on top. Hence if you don't consider that as a tense, then I have the same suspicion about your knowledge and obviously I might be also wrong.
>Probably not quickly enough. Ecosystems can adapt if given enough time, but the recent rise in ocean temperatures has happened very quickly by evolutionary standards.

Exactly, which I think is always the key point at issue that needs to be raised any time someone says "well earth has been this hot before." Never at this velocity, at least not without extinction events.

Before I got my rM2, I carried two paper notebooks with me everywhere - one for work and one for everything else. I also carried a nice fountain pen in a sleeve for note-taking.

After getting the rM2, I carried it. All of my notes are there, they're sharable from "the cloud", and I screen-share with it on Zoom calls for work when there's a need to diagram.

> What is so good about ReMarkable?

All of their products are, first and foremost, an "electronic paper notebook". They're designed to replace physical pen/pencil-and-paper. If that's what you want to use it for, you'll be happy with it.

> I would never use it for writing only reading white and black text with no images

I'd steer you toward an rM2 then, unless you absolutely need the backlight. They seem to be going for about $300 in like-new condition on the used market, so now is a good time to buy.

As for using it as an eReader, they work well in some cases and adequately in others.

PDF support is excellent - >90% of my eBook collection is uploaded to my reMarkable account in PDF format. It looks exactly the same on the device as it does printed, navigation works, and documents are easy to "mark up" using the pen.

EPUB support is... well, adequate. I think it's running a script in the backend the first time you open an EPUB file that converts it to PDF. Changing the font size does the same. For the rM2, this process could take a second or so for most documents and up to about 15 seconds for 500-ish page books. I've not empirically tested this, but the RPP seems to be much faster in this regard.

Note that DRM is not supported. That means you'll have to do the import/strip/export dance with Calibre if you have a collection of Kindle books to transfer.

There are also no integrated "stores", so you'll have to acquire your files elsewhere. I use Kobo for a lot of things. If Kobo doesn't have it - or if they don't have it DRM-free - I try to buy directly from the author. Failing that, I'll buy it on Kobo or Amazon then go download a PDF from libgen or similar.
My understanding is that it is excellent for handwriting notes, which feels like writing on paper (and not like on glass). I read books on my Kindle because RM is too expensive for me and I don't like the idea of having to pay their subscription fees.
I'm not really following — is the author discussing funding/foundations for Open Source software and supply chain security? The rise of "communities" in other countries doing open source development? Or how the East can't trust the West, and vice versa? The geopolitical aspects and cyber norms discussions are already happening[0] but in ways and at a pace that usually frustrate technical people.

I like DHH's take on Open Source[1]: "Using open source software does not entitle you to a vote on the direction of the project. The gift you've received is the software itself and the freedom of use granted by the license."

We should welcome these new communities and thank them for their contributions and perspective. As long as I have the freedom to choose, and censorship isn't a barrier I don't see an issue - they can do what they want. With OSS I can at least review the code and form my own opinion on who and what I should trust.

Here's the latest data from AIMS, the Australian government agency that monitors the Great Barrier Reef [1]. There are three periods in these graphs:

1. 1985-2013. Climatologists report global warming during this period, but it had no impact on the corals. This fact is already a major problem for the claim that corals are hurt by global warming - if it were true, there should have been declines in this period.

2. 2010-2017. A big drop. This triggered lots of stories about how humanity is killing the corals. In 2019 they were saying the outlook had moved from "poor" to "very poor". [2]

3. 2020-2024. Robust growth to the highest levels ever seen, more than a third larger than the prior stable period.

This time series is incompatible with the idea of a link between CO2 and coral health. Whatever caused this set of changes is unlikely to be human driven, given that the huge growth spurt caught self-proclaimed coral experts completely off guard and they still lack any explanation for what drives these changes. But we can safely say that corals are already heat tolerant. They exist in a wide range of temperatures across the world, which vary by far wider ranges than climate change is predicted to generate, and they have existed throughout history in which natural climate change has created vastly greater differences than seen in the last 100 years.

Unfortunately AIMS don't seem interested in a true understanding of the corals. They are only interested in coral doom. Doom = a call to action = money and social status, whereas corals doing fine reduces them to mere observation of natural cycles, which doesn't have much potential for career growth. From the peak of "the Great Barrier Reef is going from poor to very poor" now they are reduced to saying "recent increases in hard coral cover can be quickly undone" and "The high coral cover reported this year is good news but does not mean all is fine". Their reports give the strong impression that they really wish the corals would do badly, but nature is feeling uncooperative right now. Their next best strategy is apparently to just ignore it and pretend scientists have to save the day anyway.

Why are the buttons are printed to be readable from the large sign side of the device and not the management side?
I named it like this so there would be consistency between deframaop and deframafn. Shortening deframafn like you suggest would be "deffn" or "deffunction", which would be very confusing. And I'd rather have deframaop + deframafn than defop + deframafn.
In the name of logic it seems to me that a worldwide paradigm shift away from human-(un)friendly time zones to UTC with 24 hour clocks would do wonders. We're stuck with our present system, and instransigence means we probably always will be.
I’ve recently gone back to search/stack overflow and it’s amazing. I search a few words and find exactly what I’m looking for in milliseconds. Relevant documentation comes up as well. I scan the results and know immediately if it’s what I need.

With ChatGPT I’m waiting seconds or even 10+ seconds for a response, it can be 100% wrong and I then have to readjust my question or point out how it’s wrong which takes me a while.

We live on a planet saturated in one of the most corrosive pollutants (to life that evolved before it). If an anaerobic intelligent life had evolved before the world was conquered by cyanobacteria, in a society with a profit motive for manufacturing sugar, would they have farmed the very thing that would wipe them out?
> This is likely associated with sea changes too so what happened to all the coral? Did it die and regrow? Did it adapt?

Well, before you pat yourself and feel safe, you'd better answer those questions instead of just asking them and deciding the answer will go on a direction you like.

Coral is a weird kind of organism, we can't expect it to adapt like insects. It changing can be quite bad.

But yeah, we won't have runaway warming. I don't know what the people that invented that risk were thinking.
While it is indeed often faster, it isn't drop-in. MySQL and MariaDB have diverged over the years, and each has some interesting features that the other lacks.

I wrote a summary of the DDL / table design differences between MySQL and MariaDB, and that topic alone is fairly long: https://www.skeema.io/blog/2023/05/10/mysql-vs-mariadb-schem...

Another area with major differences is replication, especially when moving beyond basic async topologies.

This question is probably obvious if I knew what a microbatch or topology or depot was, but as a Rama outsider, is there a good high level mental model for what makes the cross-partition transactions work?

Unfortunately I know one such a person, they repeat the same bs that you can hear from Mearsheimer (that Putin had "no choice", that the war is only because of NATO, that Russia is just defending itself against American aggression, etc.).

As much as I have gripes with the autovac, I’m surprised at the idea of getting to such a broken state. 100M rows is not small but not huge, how frequent is “frequent updates”? How long ago was that (there’s been a lot of changes in autovac since v9)?

“Stops working completely” should not be a thing, it could be vacuuming slower than the update frequency (although that’d be surprising) but I don’t know of any reason it’d just stop?

That being said I’ve also had issues with autovac (on aurora to be fair, couldn’t say if it was aurora-specific) like it running constantly without vacuuming anything, like there was an old transaction idling (there wasn’t)

Does it makes sense to discuss it relative to the ‘political and ruling class’?

Since they pretty much all have party cards already. And the moment they give it up means they’re kicked out from any decision making, from what I understand.

Yes internal factions within the party can arbitrarily punish each other for made up reasons all day long, every day of the year.

So in a sense it was already authoritarian without limit.

But that’s not new, nor different from any other big political party.
