In my 50k population town in Minnesota, I notice a lot of headlights, taillights, and turn signals are out. Our roads (outside of the Twin Cities) are often bumpy which causes vibration in the vehicles, leading to many bulbs failing.

I drive a 21 year old Saab, and in my 2 years of owning it, I have replaced every single bulb in the exterior of the vehicle except a turn signal or two.

I decided to create a mobile service for vehicle lights. It's a simple website that even technologically-disadvantaged people can use. The website is nearly finished and I will likely come back here to write a post on it for how the website works.

Oh the best part, I get texted and emailed for each service order that comes in, and using my service is only $10 more than what it would cost you to go buy a bulb yourself at OReillys, AutoZone, etc.

I programmed everything myself and developed the idea as well. This is my first real-world project/solution I am bringing into this world that has been verified by others, to be a needed service. Pretty excited about it and I love changing bulbs or replacing light housings, it's fun and simple.

What most don't understand is that the economy IS us caring for each other. When you go to a restaurant when you are hungry, or a store to get what you need, or a hospital when you get sick, you are getting care. Virtually most people are taking care of other people. And yes it doesn't scale because it takes all of us to care for each other.
Love the landing page and the Swedish city references :) I'm working on something similar, actually, but in the lunch/dinner niche.

WNYC’s On the Media had a story on Fascism last week:

“Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Jason Stanley, a professor of Philosophy at Yale University and who has written several books on fascism. He first warned about Trump’s fascist rhetoric in 2018, and explains why it's more important than ever to call it by its name.”

No. Centralization isn't needed to scale, it's just needed to exploit scale. Exploitation has become so commonplace it's replaced everything as the primary "desirable metric". I'm writing this comment on a platform founded on the idea of exploitation being a desirable metric.
I don't think English is particularly easy to speak, read nor write. The pronounciation is highly irregular and the writing system is very non-phonetic. E.g. "spelling bees" don't make any sense in most languages.

Chinese also seems to be moving to the very phonetic and regular Pinyin that (for Mandarin) doesn't suffer from character amnesia.

I do agree that languages are walls between peoples and should be taken down with a global language. Maybe in few decades the kids speak some kind of Chinglish.

I am working on an email-based space game (a la Eve Online).

Between work and family responsibilites, I find it difficult to carve out time for dedicated gaming sessions anymore. As a result, I often find myself searching for games that I can play when I have a bit of time, can progress over the long-haul, doesn't require real-time monitoring and yet feels like I'm actually playing a game (as opposed to just watching a train move on the track, like all of those Idle games).

I thought: What if there was a game that could be played one day at a time? Not real-time, but still multiplayer. You could decide what you want to do throughout the day and adjust your tactics, but everything resolves at the end of the day. What if you could play via email? It sounded really intriguing, and so I started building it.

"The Institute for Strategic Research poll asked the following question: “The Russian leadership has put forward the condition that in order for Russia to have good neighborly relations with Ukraine, Ukraine must renounce its intent to join NATO. What do you think, should Ukraine agree to this?” While 45.4 percent supported renouncing the goal of NATO membership, 33.6 percent replied negatively and 21 percent were unable to answer." [0]

If you didn't like the 'painful detail' in The Martian, you will positively hate Project Hail Mary. Much more of the 'painful detail' as you call it with much less interesting characters. If you loved The Martian (like I did) and enjoy lots of random science-ish tangents and pseudo-engineering problem solving, you'll find stuff to like in this book. But it is a too long, worse written version of The Martian, with a less interesting protagonist.

Weir tries to make the story more interesting by adding an extra mystery to solve (the main character wakes up with amnesia and has to piece together where he is and what he has to do), but to me it really didn't work.
I think you also need to exchange some metadata like screen resolution etc, right ?
Although it’s theoretically possible and theoretically economical for individual care ‘to happen’, it doesn’t in practice for the housing economy. If anything it’s decreasing year by year on average.

Especially when you look at construction quality, the average quality of say new built condos in any major city has gone way way down since the 90s.

Of course on average condo designs have on average gotten fancier with quirkier architecture, and building codes have gotten more complex, so maybe it’s not due to builders caring way less, but the end result is shoddy work either way.

Edit: And the average home buyer has no method of separating out all these confounding factors, so it boils down to a single congealed mess.
I’m mostly thinking of Android projects. If I have time I’ll try some speed tests with a new basic project. But I don’t think I’ve even once done something in Android Studio and thought “huh, that was surprisingly fast”. Maybe some of the hot reloading stuff is okay (when it actually works).

Falsifiable != directly observable. E.g. if a hypothesis makes a claim the Indian subcontinent came from being pushed out of the earth at the Himalayas instead of rammed up into it one can make measurements today showing the opposite movement, the wrong types of rock at the top of the mountains, the wrong types of behaviors in the sea floor of the Indian Ocean, and so on that this theory predicts the opposite of. All this despite the process occurring over millions of years and is lacking a time machine.

A good hypothesis has to be falsifiable and make new testable predictions but does not have to be directly observed in its entirety to be replaced or supported by new evidence. Taking plate tectonics again as an example it's relatively new but predicted all sorts of testable things in regards to earthquakes, deposits, volcanos, and current movement that have all matched better than any other proposed explanation predicts. If a set of new predictions by an alternate theory is found that predicts not only these findings but different ones plate tectonics does not then plate tectonics would be falsified and thrown to the side.

> On the other hand, if the code is in a function, then you only need to change it once. And if you do find that one of the ten invocations should not be changed, then you can still copy-paste - or make the function more general.

Ah yes, but what happens if you have to change 3 of the function invocations in one way, 5 in another, and the other two need to be completely rewritten because those aren't even using the same abstraction any more?

If it's all in one function, most developers will try to change that function to make all 10 cases work, when it should never have been one function in the first place.

It is much much easier to fix ten copy-paste places than to untangle a knot that should never have been tied, once it's holding pieces of your system together.

So, the United States can invade Iraq, completely fuck Lybia, promote brutal dictatorships across latin america that tortured and killed thousands because of some vague idea that this is required to satisfy US security concerns in countries thousands of miles across the globe.

But at the same time, after the US promoted a state coup in Ukraine because its government was not interested on severing ties with Russia, after the US and NATO trained and provided the Ukrainian army and hinted at NATO expansion, after the US admitted that Minsky accords, Russia somehow is not entitled to have their security concerns and they should just accept American encroachment, the subversion of their internal politics via american financed NGOs (just like they do in a fucking lot of countries).

I find it amazing that most people still believe USG bullshit. The same fucking government that had no qualms on fucking their citizens with projects like MK Ultra, the same fucking government that was caught spying on its own citizens and jailed the whistleblower who brought this to their attention.

Financially Independent, Time Sovereign with Sovereign Origin
I talk with Sovereign Origin about his concept FITS (Financially Independent, Time Sovereign) a new alternative to the traditional FIRE movement (Financially Independent, Retire Early).

While both approaches aim to escape the “rat race,” FITS redefines the pursuit of financial independence through the lens of Bitcoin, focusing on sovereignty over one’s time with a unique perspective towards wealth, work, and life.

We had a great talk about the FITS concept, exploring some of the technical aspects, as well as some of the challenges inherent in the traditional FIRE approach which is built on the premise of the ongoing growth of the stock market and ultimately is not truely independent because the state can always come and turn off or confiscate your retirement fund – Something they can’t do with Bitcoin.

I just don't understand that you like to get your product recommendations from a social media platform. So you're basically saying "yeah I'll put my social life on your platform so you can sell better stuff to me".

I mean, when I'm browsing and searching on Amazon, yeah, it is handy that Amazon kind of analyzes what I am looking for and gives suggestions to what I might want from their catalogue. That seems logical to me.

But I'm not gonna just give some company all my life's data and what I'm doing and not, and then let them decide what products I should get.

> What most don't understand is that the economy IS us caring for each other.

But when those businesses we seek care from scale, the system is no longer closed.

A portion of the care I give or receive is siphoned off and sent to shareholders or a wealth business owner. When caring happens through capitalism, a portion of our care is depleted with every transaction.
Factorio isn’t like work as much as it tickles the same spots on my brain that my favorite parts of work do as well. After putting in 2K+ hours to the game I have the follow suggestions/advice for new/experienced players:

* Play your first game without mods (or very limited QoL mods)

* Don’t use blueprints from others online (at least in your first play through), you can watch videos if you are truly stuck but copy/pasting what others have done can ruin the fun

* Don’t always try to min/max. If that’s what you like then more power to you but I often guess at things or over-provision because it lets me keep playing and not get bogged down

* Before you look for blueprints online use something like Helmod or Factory Planner, blueprints can really ruin the game for me at least. The one exception is belt balancers, those are fine to copy. You can share your own blueprints between games but taking blueprints from online feels too much like cheating. Study them and reproduce them if you need to but I promise it will be more satisfying to do it yourself rather than just plopping down what someone else did.

* Don’t try to build the best or “final” version of something at first. As in, build what you need now and re-evaluate later when it’s not enough. I’ve ruined the “fun” before because I was too hung up on making a production line too complicated/large/etc too early. Don’t make your first smelting operation at a scale you’d use in late game, you’ll build a new smelting setup later and that’s fine.

* Go into the game blind, don’t research “the best way to do X”, your first (few) play throughs will be more fun if explore and learn on your own.

Vim has http support as part of netrw which exists so you can do things like edit files over scp. I have at times had to fix remote hosts using this type of thing for example

vim scp://seanhunter@somehost.example.com:1234/.vimrc

^ ...which believe it or not works just fine if I have ssh access to that host.

..and I think http is supported for stuff like webdav, although I can't think of ever using http directly in vim like that. Given it's built-in it's useful for things like updating plugins etc. Once you've made the leap to thinking having net support like that built in is worthwhile, it makes sense for vim to have the wherewithall to test the responses for different status codes etc so plugins and scripts which use that network functionality can test the different failure cases.
That's included in Android.

One of the best ways for a developer to plead their case for using their language, is to have a book written about it. That's where to teach people how to use the language, show in code the advantages of using it, and elaborate in detail why its a better language.

If the language doesn't at least have a book written on it, then it can be argued it's way too early to take the language seriously. Some of the reasons why the language has not reached the stage to be written about: still too unstable, few followers, or still making a lot of breaking changes. Other reasons, like laziness or arrogance, are equally not good.

Some of these new hyped languages like Odin, C3, hare, beef, pony, etc... They get a lot of continuous attention on here and specific other places, but then when we go to find out more about them, there is little of real substance. Their GitHub has few stars, few contributors, no Wikipedia page, not a thing about them on Amazon, etc...

At least start with step 1. Where is the book on this programming language? Would be nice to be able to actually read or see more than just a blog entry or an ad.
