they have done yet another licensing / price change.

It is confusing.

I would like to think that Core is open source and free but
fromt the site it appears that the "control panel" is limited

Great! In other words, it downloads content at the same speed it would be during an install.

Obviously it's good for it to saturate your connection when it's loading the landscape for the first time.

And obviously this rate isn't maintained throughout your flight. Once the visible environment has loaded, it only needs to download new data at the speed of your airplane.

Yeah with Elon (and anything "AI" (note: I'm an ML researcher)) it's now "I'm believe it when I see it" because there's too much over promise and under delivery.

Honestly, I'm not even super pissed at the start-ups that do this because it's "ride or die" for them. But I'm more pissed at big players doing this and experts in fields who push the over hype. Who retweet demos that are obvious fakes. It creates a lot of distrust because there's no clear "trusted authority". Sure, authority shouldn't be the only reason to trust but we can't be experts in everything (there's always trustworthy experts but good luck average person with no domain knowledge differentiating them). The system doesn't work without trust. I just hope this is recognized before it gets catastrophic. Because it is a global phenomena

If the goal is to improve Chicory WASI support, this is the way.

If the goal was pure Java SQLite¹, a VFS from scratch would be better.

I think since I started my Go/wazero effort, WASI+SQLite improved a bunch. I had to start with the demo VFS; the Unix VFS now builds. But custom VFS is still the way to go, IMO.

And thanks! My contributions to wazero were tiny. Best of luck with Chicory!

Utterly wrong. Grids _are_ sized for that.

French shutdowns were _planned_. Nobody died as a result, and it only cost more money than planned as a result of unlucky confluence of events.

> In reality we work with statistics. In for example Sweden the “reliability guarantee” is at most one hour of demand exceeding production per year.

You have it backwards. Sweden is ready to accept one hour of outage per year. Not more than that.

The failure scenario for Germany is not an hour of outage, but a month without energy. Leading to millions of people dead and a total economic collapse.

> This is the problem with nukebros, there’s no logic to the suggestions. Only a complete fixation on nuclear power as the solution to everything.

There's no fucking shame and zero self-reflection with you greenies.

Germany _wasted_ close to $500B on useless Energiewende and is still directly _subsidizing_ _new_ _gas_ _powerplants_. And it'll need to spend even more than that to have even a _hope_ of carbon neutrality, contingent on multiple speculative bets coming true.

Instead they could have used the same amount of money to build a completely carbon-neutral nuclear-powered grid. That would have been available by now. Using technology that was tried and tested in 2000-s.

> but if you're used to Wordpress plugins or an NPM package being available for whatever you need, Drupal can be frustrating.

On the other hand, Drupal does not have the WordPress ecosystem habits where many modules/plugins have paid upgrades and/or scatter ads all over your site. The WP plugin ecosystem feels so scummy in comparison.

I agree the switch to Drupal 8 really killed its momentum though. (Drupal was reimplemented on top of Symfony and all existing modules/plugins had to be almost entirely rewritten to work with it - which was quite a difficult hurdle for people used to the previous conventions. Also being able to implement a site's configuration entirely in code, a beautiful feature of D7 albeit one that required third-party modules to implement, was still not quite working properly last time I checked.)

The difference with Tex-Mex is that its foundational items are Native American, so the distinction, imo, is that the main ingredients and how they are used is from America. Even though the Americas were populated by pacific islanders/Asians, no one would call Tex-Mex Asian food.

I don't know a lot about the making of Indian food, but I have not yet heard the argument that the base ingredients/spices and how they are used come from the British Isles. That's how I would "draw the line" in determining if it's British or Indian food.

That said, the best Indian food I have had was in London

I think the problem is that your idea of "easy" is "Here's a whole bunch of C++ you could write by hand for each type" while the comparison was very literally #[derive(Debug)]. I wasn't abbreviating or referring to something else, that's literally what Rust programmers type to indicate that their type should have the obvious boilerplate implementation for this feature, in most types you're deriving other traits already, so the extra work is literally typing out the word Debug.

We've tried a few decades of fat positively and just pretending that being fat isn't a personal failure, and just a symptom of society.

Fat positivity? It's not really a popular position, and is in fact regarded as a loathesome movement.

You think every fat kid, especially those bullied, don't want to be thin?

You think shaming is going to work? That's an uphill battle, especially against the human body and the urges it generate, the causes we do not fully understand.

Normal healthy humans are supposed to be able to self regulate their weight at a healthy level. I have seen at least one friend who has an atrocious diet, poor eating habit, and yet remain rail thin.

If shaming did work, then it would have been implemented widely and obesity is solved. But it's not. We don't have anything that works as well as ozempic.

I am all for taking responsibility, but we ought to be cognizant about the current limitations of our tools and flexible at how we would solve problems, rather than sticking to dogma or trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

> Is there a clear "bad guy" in this?

Yes, but at the same time not really. This is two corporates duking it out. They are behaving like soulless entities that only care about the money, like all corporates do. Yes, there are people behind those corporates determining how they behave - but there always is. For the most part those people are shielded by the corporate veil, and so most of the normal ethical boundaries humans exhibit when dealing with other humans aren't in evidence.

The highly entertaining drama aside, the fallout will likely be minor because it's open source. If it wasn't and one of these corporations are mortally wounded in the fight their proprietary code would die with them. But it's all available on github. If they die and the ecosystem is worth something, someone will reproduce the infrastructure, and all the customers need do it point their auto updates at a different domain name and renew a few credit cards.

In fact that is already happening. Automattic has taken over WPEngine's code. Looking at the from the system of ethics that open source has built up over time, it's a dick move. (WPEngine could do the same to Automattic of course, but Automattic owns wordpress.org so to be effective all the customers out there would have to change their auto update domain name to wpengine.com or something. That is unlikely to happen.) But these are corporates. PE firms specialise in dick moves.

Surely this behaviour isn't a surprise. What is slightly surprising is WPEngine didn't protect themselves using a contract with Automattic that stopped them from doing this. Only slightly, as I'm sure Automattic would never had agreed to the contract. I guess WPEngine could have distributed their plugins and different way. Maybe they will from now on.

If you say only Lisp can be used to implement Emacs, would you mean a specific Emacs or an editor belonging to the larger family of Emacs-like editors? When I would speak about how to implement "an Emacs", I would include the option to use different programming languages. For example I could imagine that C and Python is a valid combination, even Python alone would be an option. Python can be used interactively, which would be sufficient for an interactive extension language.

Here is an old Emacs timeline:

https://www.jwz.org/doc/emacs-timeline.html

The actual historic Emacs wasn't written in Lisp and was not extensible in Lisp. It was written on top of TECO and assembly. It was extensible.

The second and third Emacs were both written in Lisp (Zetalisp and Maclisp) and they were completely written in Lisp.

At some point Gosling wrote an Emacs in C and Mocklisp. Stallman took that one and rewrote it into GNU Emacs.

We have lots of Emacs variants written in languages like TECO, C, Fortran, ...

Craig A. Finseth wrote "The Craft of Text Editing: Emacs For The Modern World"

http://www.finseth.com/craft/

Chapter Ten of above book describes what Emacs-type means: http://www.finseth.com/craft/#c10

Extensibility is a general feature and not tied to Lisp or GNU Emacs.

The book contained a list of Emacs implementations. An newer list is here: http://www.finseth.com/emacs.html

You can see that there is a multitude of editors in the Emacs category. The list also mentions the implementation and the extension language.

> GNU Emacs is what people usually mean when they speak about Emacs

That's a bit sad. It's like saying "Linux" and think that its the same as "Debian Linux". Similar there are a lot of different Emacs-like editors. Claiming that there is only a single way to implement Emacs goes against the evidence that there are a lot of Emacs-like editors, which are not implemented in C + Emacs Lisp, including the original first Emacs.

I would think that by far the most important Emacs is GNU Emacs, but I don't think its implementation language choice (C + Lisp) is necessary to implement an extensible Emacs-like editor. Also be aware even though GNU Emacs is a popular Emacs editor, there are some people who are using different Emacs-like editors instead. I typically use a Hemlock variant written in Common Lisp and Zmacs, written in ZetaLisp. Both core designs date back many decades, actually even before GNU Emacs existed.
The PDP-11 that C originally targeted had address modes to support the stack. Pre-increment and post-decrement therefore did not require a separate instruction; they were free. After the PDP-11 went the way of the dodo, both forms took a machine cycle so it (mostly) became a stylistic issue. (The two operators have different semantics, but the trend to avoid side-effects in expressions means that both are most often used in a single expression statement like "++x;" or "x++;", so it comes down to your preferred style.)
I'm one step ahead here I think. Obviously the EPA is empowered to do the study. That's part of why they exist. However, my understanding is that if the level that the EPA sets is not precisely prescribed by law then that gives an opening to anybody to challenge that limit in the courts because Congress didn't set a definitive level and therefore the EPA overstepped its authority.
When I joined Twitter, I could post something mildly interesting and get a few likes, retweets and a discussion. I saw tweets from my network and responded similarly. A few years back the algorithmic timeline appeared, and all of a sudden I was seeing tweets from people guaranteed to annoy me.

I can no longer use Twitter because noone saw my tweets. What is the point of that.

Recently I paid for a month on Twitter to see if it improved things. My replies were seen occasionally, but still noone sees my tweets. I reported someone whose timeline was full of tweets repeating the N word over and over. They responded that they didn't see a problem with that.

So I cancelled, because my membership got me literally nothing

Edit: I just checked and despite my 3000 followers noone responded to any of my recent tweets
