The terminal is iTerm2, but the basic Mac terminal or common Linux ones can do opacity too. Didn't go out of my way to set up auto-reload, so idk how to do it in general, but the default create-react-app dev setup does it.
Right. And actually this small detail is emblematic of the whole problem.

When you roll out an auto-updates mechanism you're saying to the people who enable it "you can trust us to do the right thing with your project while you are elsewhere -- this is a risk but it's one we manage for your benefit".

If you roll out a change for purely political/commercial reasons that are ultimately not your end user's concern -- we're not a party to that lawsuit -- then you're undermining the trust in that mechanism entirely.

It was a stupid, arrogant, underhanded thing to do.
I dislike the subscription too, I also purchased my RM2 before that came into effect. I purchased an RMPP and my “feature license” for lack of a better term did carry through.

The Biological Motors That Power Our Bodies
Fantastic writing. I recently did a yoga / meditation retreat (Inner Engineering by Sadhguru) that helps develop this and I find it immensely helpful. I always had trouble knowing how or where to begin, despite reading and knowing so much about the benefits. Inner Engineering gave me structure and insights, and after only practicing it for a week, I have experienced significant changes already.
> You can't repair your own phone without voiding the warranty. Which is to say, you don't have the legal right to repair your own phone, even if you sourced compatible parts.

You have the legal right to void your warranty. You warranty likely voids itself in a reasonably short period of time regardless of whether you conduct repairs, and it would be absurd for the seller to offer a warranty that covers objects that have been arbitrarily tampered with. That's emphatically NOT what right to repair refers to.

> The right to repair is the right to repair your device on your own terms, and for other companies to be able to offer compatible parts.

Yes, this is the correct definition, and the one I have been using in this thread, and the one that mandates making replacement parts reasonably available.

> An iPhone screen that comes with DRM makes it impossible to do that. Licensing rules that prevent companies from offering service for devices (e.g., screen repair) makes it impossible to do that. Having a tricky PCB doesn't impede your rights.

Yes, these are all right to repair issues caused by the over-use of proprietary components.

> The existence of proprietary parts doesn't in any way invalidate your right to repair unless those parts are specifically designed to make it physically impossible to repair your device. Hell, even the most technically complicated parts in popular consumer devices can be replicated by third parties and have been for years, but selling those parts is often illegal and the devices are designed to detect and reject those parts.

I don't think you know what the word proprietary means. You are complaining about the use of proprietary components.
The other poster is correct but I feel there's still a simpler answer when you see the units at play. You don't constantly hear reflections as echos mostly because of the speed of light and the inverse square law.

Let's think about how far the echo has to come from to have even a half second delay. At the speed of light, that half second is 93,141mi. So it would have to reflect off something half that distance, ~46,500mi. Not a lot of good reflectors pointed at me 46,500mi away.

So then think of the inverse-square law on that. How weak of a signal is that going to be travelling those 93,141mi? Are you set up to even notice that from the noise? It's 11 billion times weaker than the original signal, assuming your reflector perfectly reflects the source signal and you're in outer space.

So obviously whatever "echo" we experience, it's not going to be something in the realm of humans directly detecting it. The shift that is possible to really mess with the signal at distance you'll actually receive reflections at are only going to shift the timing in a very small way, usually by being a slightly different phase. This means you'll get constructive and destructive interference from the same signal at slightly different phases, but not really a noticeable "echo".
While the scripts (Bengali/Assamese and Tibetan) both evolved from the Gupta script, the actual languages are very different. Bengali and Assamese are Indo-Aryan, while Tibetan is from a completely different language family (Sino-Tibetan).

When I (bengali speaker) visited Bhutan where they speak a language that is 50% mutually intelligble with Tibetan I didn't understand anything. I was surprised because I thought they might use a number of buddhist loan words, but even the words for dharma, karma, etc. sound completely different in tibetan
There isn’t always low hanging fruit. And when there is, it likely requires engineering knowledge to know it exists.
A bit dystopian turning people into a taxi-like system where you need an indicator to tell if they are vacant or not.

Regardless, I'm struggling to know the audience here. Is it an employee in the office? If that’s the case, it won’t solve any problem because most of the disturbances happen from your boss either calling about something or asking you to join another useless meeting. Your boss won’t care about your status simply because they won’t be collocated in the same office as you most of the time (not that they care about your online status anyway). For colleagues, after the first month or so, everyone will pretty much find the best way to approach others. If you still need a device for that, then there’s a problem in communication that you need a persistent device all the time. At home, you won’t need such a thing. So I don’t know who will find it useful; it looks gimmicky.
What’s next, a hat that will turn a green light telling people you are approachable or in the chatting mode, and red when you are not?!
That depends. What are they doing?

Are they stealing, looting, or racketeering? -> gang

Are they trying to protect property from these activities, or guard people as they engage in recovery activities? -> militia

Labels aside, the whole story is nonsense:

> The North Carolina National Guard told CBS News in a statement on Monday that it had "no reports of our soldiers or airmen encountering any armed militia, any threats and any type of combatants. We are continuing to serve all those counties in need of our assistance."

> ...

> "The initial report stated there was a truck load of militia that was involved," the sheriff's office said. "However, after further investigation, it was determined Parsons acted alone and there were no truck loads of militia going to Lake Lure."

So not a gang and not a militia... One guy.

On Earth, it's cost-efficient to build things with a reasonable "bathtub curve" failure rate because they can be repaired or (if a consumer product) replaced under warranty. Neither of these are an option in one-off space projects: everything has to be built to ~100% initial reliability, which makes everything much more expensive.

In theory falling launch costs will eventually mean maybe we can make space science missions more disposable so a loss from random failure is no big deal, but we're not quite there yet.
yeah
that's my key concern.

or it might also be the opposite and junior devs may be using AI and learn faster.

In my own biz, I stopped hiring junior devs because it's faster for me to use AI for coding than to explain what I need and then validate the implementation with code-review...
No, please. Having everything in one place is a good recipe for having a single point of failure. Not that I use all that many apps, anyway -- centralising them wouldn't make me more efficient or productive or whatever.

Needs an FAQ

Why isn't contributing to existing projects like Servo feasible? Do they reject the benefits of modularity?

What existing code is being leveraged, or is this entirely from scratch? Why was lifting code from Servo or elsewhere not sufficient?

Is this project intending to remain fully non-profit or is there some kind of vision for monetization to support the gargantuan amount of effort it would take?

Yes, but I'm concerned about the number of existing browser engines that have fallen by the wayside, as the project founders have become exhausted. The scope of such a project is incredibly easy to underestimate, and it has only ever gotten larger.

git-interactive-rebase-tool (https://github.com/MitMaro/git-interactive-rebase-tool) has been my go-to for many years now.

It is configured using `git config --global sequence.editor interactive-rebase-tool`. See if you are able to use that interface as well. That will make it easy to use without breaking existing workflows that use `git rebase -i`.

I will give it a try anyway.

There’s nothing stopping anyone from creating a PR series. My reasoning for the squash workflow is described here[0]. I just equate a PR to a patch. And it becomes a commit in the main branch. I don’t really care about the commits in the PR, just like no one cares about the commits that produced the patch in the email workflow.

Most basic hosting services to this day still have a one click Wordpress, Drupal and various other CMS installs. GoDaddy advertises they have a one-click Wordpress install.

You are correct that if you plan on using your local machine for development then yes, you would have to know PHP and MySQL. Then you would need to know a bunch of other stuff in order to do that which opens another can of worms.

In my experience, this is what also makes Wordpress attractive - the low overhead to get up and running. Most people/businesses I know who used WP, just got a hosting account, transferred their domain and did all their development right on the production version of their site.

It is indefensible to make arguments of likelihoods without and understanding of context and priors. If I listed 1,000 people from around the world at random and claimed we all had a shared great^N grandfather (with N not so large at to be trivially true), I’d need some rather significant proof to back up at that claim, and barring that we could say it was unlikely to be true.

If on the other hand I consulted my family’s genealogical records that had been painstakingly maintained for generations, including only those matrilineal lines that are most solid to trace, and from that listed 1,000 folks who have the same grandfather, then my claim would not be very unlikely at all.

This case is much closer to the latter than the former.

This starts in the 50s and and seems they argue for Land Reform. Maybe that was part of it. But I say these are far better reasons:

1. A local government friendly to the US. Gov type did not matter.

2. US Workers starting to want medical benefits, by the late 60s, hardly anyone would take a job without benefits. This includes sick time.

3. Environment Controls starting in the 60s. I think this is a big one.

4. High Wages in the US

5. Improved intercontinental flights and cheap shipping. I think in the 60s the US merchant was quickly being outsourced to cheap countries.

6. An of course corporate greed and the rush to make Wall Street happy.

You just need to look at ROC in the 90s, lots of companies started moving manufacturing there because Japan and Taiwan was getting too expensive.

Now I think they are slowly moving out of ROC to places it SE Asia like Vietnam.

Especially back when we started. Now we would've done it differently, but still think postgres wouldn't really work. Guess we will never now as even far smaller data sets do not work in the way we need them.
The trends around compute increasing is on the whole correct but by no means is it a universal rule. More optimized training procedures and model architectures are coming out all the time. In just the last week, we got F5-TTS which is trained on twice as much data as the previous leader in realistic TTS (Tortoise TTS) and is exponentially faster - taking only 3 weeks on H-100. We also got Meissonic, a text-to-image model that is exponentially easier to train than any existing model. IE you can train a Stable Diffusion like model from scratch on consumer hardware or in the cloud for abou $500.

https://huggingface.co/MeissonFlow/Meissonic

https://github.com/SWivid/F5-TTS

The reason the trend is that compute costs are doubling is because this is an arms race and everyone in the corporate space is prioritizing bigger models over better architecture in the pursuit of a breakaway. It is not indicative of a law ala Moore's Law.

The functionality is a small screen with a timer and a few API calls to set the timer for you sometimes. $189 for a timer is not a lot of functionality for more than 1% of the annual salary of a minimum wage worker. You can get a full android phone for that much which has 10000x the functionality.

Good article about the downsides of infrared heating. These things can be useful. They are very light, safe and easy to install, and they can really make a difference in tight spaces like a caravan. However, with 425W, of course you cannot expect this thing to heat a larger room (to be fair, the article also does not claim this). The theory that you can direct this thing at yourself so that you feel warm but the rest stays cold is nice in theory, but as the article says, this is really difficult to achieve and usually not worth the trouble. And of course, these things only make sense in your home if you happen to get electricity very cheaply (which the writer of the article apparently does).

Do they impose arbitrary time based restrictions (that wouldn't otherwise exist) when you use a Claude API key instead of paying? I went back to VS Code after something like that (seemed to have) happened.

Honestly, once you learn the copilot specific hot keys you can do all of what cursor does and more. in fact there were times that i felt the team at VS code clearly could have added features that Cursor has but chose not to because they led to more unwanted code slipping through.
