I had to re-read your intro paragraph a few times to understand what this is supposed to be.

I read it as a replacement for Blender, but upon testing it I was confused as everything was 2D and looks like Photoshop.

But no, you meant the next Photoshop, while referencing Blender as a popular open source version of closed-source 3D modeling/rendering software? Is that right?

Yes, that is a real big, sad flop.
I don’t think the average man should have to work any hours to pay for an average monthly dose of average quality anything that they require to stay alive. Perhaps I’m insane.
It's true that you'd need drivers for your hardware, but that's not really special; I own plenty of normal x86 PCs with hardware that Linux doesn't have drivers for. That said, AIUI Google is generally pretty good at pushing drivers upstream these days.

And the aftermarket UEFI is a great thing - it means that Chromebooks are probably the easiest+cheapest way to have a coreboot machine - but you don't actually need that; the default firmware will, in developer mode, boot any properly-formed image, which is a touch annoying but does in fact let you boot any OS that handles that boot system without replacing the firmware. One of my main machines right now is an ARM chromebook that runs postmarketos on the stock firmware.

Becoming a card issuer in Australia requires overcoming numerous regulatory hurdles. ARPA and ACCC are two government bodies you need to be familiar with.

I was involved in setting up a new insurance company in the late 1980s and even then you needed well connected investors as well as a top law firm to smooth the way. Credit legislation has become even more onerous since then.

Perhaps a feasible path would be to co-brand your card with Visa or MasterCard. That is how the major department stores are implementing their store cards. Both David Jones and Myer have stopped issuing their own store cards for the reasons mentioned above.
But you could do that by extending the bit of your life where you can do those things. Not necessarily turning off aging?

As I said down thread, this could just be a potato/potahto thing? If this is just definitionally beating getting frail, then that makes sense. But I don't know that I could pin down an age that I would want to freeze progress at. Nor do I think I expected that there would be a general age to freeze aging at. Let me keep my strength longer, but I expect I will be/look/appear older and older the older I get.

Now, granted, I'd be delighted if I have the same strength my 90 year old grandfather in law did. In his 70s, I'm pretty sure the only thing I could beat him at was a race. Lifting things or doing manual work outside, and he was far beyond what I was in my 30s.
Hanami 2.2-beta2 is relased, which finally becomes a complete, fullstack framework. Let's make a blog in Hanami taking a closer look at its basic features.
Yeah, i feel like currently they are at about the price of camera traps 10 years ago. There is very little mass-manufacturability to them right now (it's all open source and made from off-the-shelf parts) but later if we can find more funding, we are going to make a design more for manufacturing which should hopefully drive the costs down even more! :)
I would argue that a shared corpus that everyone has read is a key foundation to a society with rich and nuanced social intercourse. That doesn't mean everyone has read the same books, but there would be significant benefits in kids coming out of high school or college having all read 50 or 100 of the same great books (plus anything else they wanted to read).

I've had the pleasure of listening in on some discussions from high-school students that study classics meeting each other for the first time. Their discussions tend to be very different from what you'd hear from a typical high-school student. While other students might share the language, the ones who have read the same 50 or so great books tend to have a shared vocabulary of ideas at their disposal that doesn't seem to be there without the shared books.
Thanks for sharing, interesting!

Some developers absolutely hate this setup though, and just seem unable to code when other people are watching.

It passes with time, but yeah, onboarding some of them to this group must be impossible. I knew some “quantum” guys who couldn’t move while someone watches. Also highly correlates with bikeshedding. It’s usually confidence-related anxiety that should be addressed either way.

Not exactly. We have crop rotation because over time a strict mono-culture wasn't very good.
Right now, it's a custom HTML/CSS/TypeScript component system using Svelte built to minimize bloat. But since Graphite is a data-driven graphics app and render engine, we are planning to gradually rewrite our UI components as Graphite documents— allowing us to design the editor's UI within its own editor UI. Once that happens, we can probably drop the web dependencies— although we've taken pains to ensure our current web dependencies are very lightweight and performant. All the slow parts of Graphite are due to backend engineering shortcuts we've taken to enable forward progress, and those are stopgaps that are actively being worked on to be rebuilt into proper, high-performance systems.
I’m working on a hobby-project that uses IndexedDB for persistent client-side storage, and it really feels like W3C made some very bad design decision and than instead of fixing they they have just given up on the standard. Issues like not being able to index values in objects in arrays [1] (not even in fixed position e.g. "key.path.[0].value") despite almost a decade of developers asking for it, a very limited query syntax, and even the documentation on MDN seems of very lower quality than the rest of the web docs.

I’m happy that we are actually be able to use SQL in the browser now (although I would rather skip the MBs of the bundle bloat). But I feel like the standards committee will now have even less of a reason to fix the very broken state of IndexedDB.

I was an early user of KDE back in 2000 and thought they were absolutely insane for trying to write their own web browser engine when it was controlled by Microsoft and Netscape. The web was just too complex and nothing worked in it, there was just no way a tiny open source project like that could make any useful headway with browser technology.

Of course, jump forward 24 years and the KDE browser engine is basically the only game in town- the basis of both Chrome and Safari. Absolutely no way I saw that coming.
Considering their OS as a framework approach I would guess they are more likely to expose a stable API than a stable ABI. Which also plays well with the MPL license (source file based) rather than something like the LGPL (~linking based).
Easily probably not the word I'd use. Anything that runs on wlroots should be doable with not a lot of effort. Beyond that, tricky. sxmo doesn't use hardware acceleration though so not too bad.
Now that I've actually gone and read the PEP instead of just relying on my familiarity with the changes as described elsewhere (and experienced for myself):

... Wow, significant portions of that come across to me as AI-generated. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've gotten that impression from a PEP.
Surprisingly, despite Canadian PM doing a press conference, the response from India has been MEA level. Indian tactic seems to be to underplay the very status of Canada, essentially implying that it's too small a country for PM's focus or response. So, I don't see this having much electoral impact in India at all. In Canada though? Sure, but that's a different matter.

You or someone in marketing send out too many spammy notifications abusing user trust and users block your notifications. Nobody shows up
anymore and network dies.

Perhaps there are many causes of heart disease and diabetes. It is likely that actionable information would require a case-by-case assessment. That is exactly what doctors do, so getting people time with doctors seems pretty useful.

Regarding other factors, American culture is fairly similar to Canadian culture. However Canadians have free healthcare, meaning more Canadians see doctors than Americans. So I wonder if they have lower levels of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, and if their lifespans have also been decreasing.

Not necessarily - the great thing about airships is that they can go anywhere, and pick up cargo at places that aren't ports. You can go pick up logs from logging camps directly, for example.
Upon rereading that paragraph, I suppose I didn't write that as clearly as I'd meant to. Blender is darn near perfect and there'd be no reason to replace it. So yes, as you figured out, I'm referring to becoming a second Blender but this time in the 2D realm: a generalist tool that uses actual innovation to catch up and then surpass its commercial competitors.
I landed my first software job when I was 18 years old. I didn't have a degree or any professional experience in their tech stack, and the recruiter told me later that I was hired because of "my passion for Legos and foreign languages" (I was learning Swahili at the time, and one of my interviewers happened to be a former volunteer in the Peace Corps, who conducted most of the interview in Swahili).

I had a great experience at that company while I was in college, which also launched me into an exciting professional career. All of it wouldn't have happened without people like you.

Fair enough, though I would expect noise from congress, complaining about lack of domestic consensus on international relations.

I usually just have one terminal window open with the Python REPL, and another open with a text editor. Works fine for me, although admittedly it was slightly more convenient back when `reload` was a builtin. (That's maybe the one thing I miss from 2.x, if I had to pick one. Sure, it doesn't honestly really make sense as a builtin; but it could have been added to `site` or something.)

The reality is that human energy consumption is expanding faster than nuclear is likely to be built out.

It's a tall ask for nuclear to cover projected additional demand (see: global energy consumption data over time), it's even more of an ask to expect it to make inroads on existing demand also.

The closest thing we have for examples of nuclear at scale is Korea in recent past decades and currently China right now: https://itif.org/publications/2024/06/17/how-innovative-is-c...

Nuclear is also expensive in comparison to alternatives (depending upon local expertise): Australia's costings (cold start on nuclear power tech) are that the better ROI over next four decades on energy investment now is not nuclear (2024 CSIRO energy report).

Ipad Mini is such a good size. My friend lent me his Mini2 when he borrowed money from me and used it for a good 6 months i think and it was marvelous. I didn't use it all that much but later got an Air 2 and used it maybe slightly less. Then I got an iPad Pro 11" but only used it for a while and don't really touch it too much anymore. I feel maybe an ipad mini I would use more. But the jelly scroll really has me urked and I kinda want OLED on it, so there is definitely room for a Pro version if they wish, but the iPads are overwhelming with 5 sizes already.
Thanks I'll give it a look! I guess I really was fishing for someone to make a recommendation and I see you have a lot of backend persistence options which I'm very excited about.

Another issue I have with a lot of the new local first products is that they tend to lock you into a particular database type on the backend, so this is refreshing.
Refocusing of priorities. Life is short. Making a mark (film) on the world instead of living sheltered and unremembered is a valid consideration. The choices generalize to living well or living long. There are probably ways to do both if you are privileged enough.

Also: most breakups should probably be looked at in a positive light. If you aren't right for each other, why try to hold on and mash puzzle pieces that don't fit together. If one or more part of the relationship wants to leave, letting them go is the best way to show them you respect their autonomy. It may hurt, but without a hurt the heart is hollow.

But everyone is entitled to their own opinions on things. These are just some of mine. I know nothing about the author either.
> Linux’s success had a lot to do with the existence of a full suite of GNU software that could run on top of a new kernel

I've heard this a number of times; but circa 1991 I'm not convinced. The critical GNU components to scaffold Linux adoption were:

- GCC + C runtime

- A shell (plus a bunch of small utilities)

You could make a reasonable argument that Linux was and remains a much bigger achievement, namely because GNU has never actually managed to make a usable kernel (Hurd still has no USB support, for example. I don't know if this is for technical or political reasons).
On the flip side, there were plenty of compilers and shells kicking around that Linux could have bundled.

RMS makes all sorts of wild claims about how much of a distro is "GNU software" (a criterion that is never clearly defined - is any non-kernel GPL software part of GNU?) by comparing lines of code; but at the time of these claims distros tended to bundle anything and everything that you might possibly want.

Contemporaneously to all this, 386BSD had created a full freely-distributable Unix with no GNU code; and its descendants might have captured the mindshare were it not for an extended copyright battle from AT&T.
This adds some context missing in the Wikipedia entry. Thanks for sharing it here.

I'm a bit disappointed I didn't see this quicker back when I did this problem like 15 years ago or whatever it is now. My solution was to use matrix exponentiation on the adjacency matrix of the path graph, which is a heck of a lot better than brute force enumeration of all paths, but still roughly cubic rather than linear like computing a bunch of factorials. Even as a math major, I'd done a lot more linear algebra than combinatorics.
Transmissions are pretty tightly regulated in most countries. Receiving less so but those laws can be pretty catch-all. Unless you enjoy static noise you're probably intercepting something and thus potentially running afoul of lawful interception rules.

Exactly laws & whether anyone cares are ofc dependent on your country
In the course of interviewing a bunch of developers, and employing a few of them, I've concluded that this ability/inclination/something to do this deeper digging is one of the things I prize most in a developer. They have to know when to go deep and when not to, though, and that's sometimes a hard balancing act.

I've never found a good way of screening for the ability, and more, for when not to go deep, because everyone will come up with some example if you ask, and it's not the sort of thing that I can see highlighting in a coding test (and _certainly_ not in a leet-code test!). If anyone has any suggestions on how to uncover it during the hiring process I'd be ecstatic!
Interesting read. However, its ultimate conclusion is just the long way of saying that if you use ultra-optimized libraries, and you call them at a rate much lower than their inner loop rate, then it doesn't matter which language you wrap them with.

This is the standard counter to "interpreted languages are slow" and is as old as interpreting itself.
