We had a wild bear with cubs go into the dumpster for food at our university campus, this is North America of course.

I don't know London at all but I would hazard that you have foxes and other wild animals living in the city, just well hidden. We have coyotes that have taken up residence in many American cities.
Hmmm. That's also an interesting solution to the same problem. Although honestly, the scenario where I want to have a removable keyboard, I'm likely using an external display (probably a hotel TV), and a small wireless mouse is a lot easier to transport than a keyboard (and more ergonomic than a keyboard small enough for transport) so the extra screen and trackpad are sort of lost on me.
So true. Pushing that boulder that's already uphill is super draining.
Can you say what the issue was?
How many forms do you need? It should be 10, 50 or 5 million standard forms and free-form ones that could be required to request standardization.

I one time tried to make a form that works with iphone auto fill just for name and address fields. Apple insists putting the house number on the end of the street name. House numbers may have multiple letters and streets are named after people who may have a single letter second name. Boulevard Peng Da nr 1 vs Boulevard Peng nr Da 1. This doesn't work.

During corona I needed a document to work my night shifts. I received a pdf with some form fields. After filling those out the document changed it self into a static permit. I had never seen such a thing before.

When writing blog software I ponder organization a good bit. My conclusion was that depending on the size, quantity and nature of the writings different methods would work best. however! As it grows it is hard to tell which one is currently the best formula and it is very easy to maintain the full set that I define as: Hierarchical tree, Categories, tags and search.

How to do the hierarchical tree is obvious.

A limited number of Categories that should be defined in advance (if possible)

You should have as many tags as possible. This comment could be tagged #history #writing #organizing #ideas #search #link #interface etc. The user can be exposed to a small sub set of sufficiently populated tags. The tag pages can be sorted by the amount of tags per word.

Search is just search but could have topical filters and use all of the before mentioned but could also take one (or more) articles as queries (and list the results under the text)

Dresden did not get fire bombed because the allies did not know where the factories were.

Exactly. I do this with boardgames too, beyond just "house rules".

For me, Stratego, my favorite chess-esque battle simulator, is a wonderful canvas.

The game becomes infinitely better when players roll for the number of turns each player gets. This simulates the moving "tempo" of war, speeds up the game dramatically depending on the turn multiplier used, and dramatically opens up the types of play available. I've experimented with far more, including custom maps, allowing joint attacks with multiple turns (pooling attack scores), and other mods.

I don't care if this is autism or it turns off normies. The thinkpad user ricing out modded dwarf fortress has a more rewarding time with their videogames compared to macbook pro user playing vanilla skyrim in 2025.

I think that GRRM could have delivered the same ending in a way that the fans would have loved. The failure really comes down to how quickly they rushed it, and didn't really give plausible explanations for the characters actions.

You may or may not have to finish the last 20%. Since the whole article is based on the premise that you have to, it fails for me.

There are attributes of your project that are table stakes (absolutely required to compete) and there are regulatory or safety requirements. You need all those to ship.

However, everything else is “value” or even just “perceived value” and it is up to your customer which ones “you have to do””.

Let’s put the 80/20 rule another way. If I can get 8 out of 10 features in 20% of the time, it makes sense to do those 8 ( assuming they all have at least some value ).

But what do I do with the 80% of the effort that it would take to get the last two features?

The answer is opportunity cost. What could I do with that time instead? Put another way, what am I NOT going to be able to accomplish because I chose to add those last two features?

If the answer is that I have other features that customers value more, I should do those instead. If I have a backlog of features that all take the same effort as the first 8. I can do 32 of them in the time it would take to deliver the original 2!!

The statement was made that “customers do not like to use 80% of a website”.

If I read this article, maybe I implement the full 10 original features. If I embrace 80/20, maybe I implement 40 instead. Hey look, the “just do 100%” approach resulted in a website with 25% as many features as 80/20. If “customers do not like 80 percent of a website”, they are probably even less happy with 25%. Right?

Now, not all features have the same value. So, the math is not as simple as above. But, in my view, this is the right way to think about 80/20. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

So that tue perfectionists can hate me even more, the same is true “within” features (or whatever other axis you are evaluating). Sometimes customers “expect” or even “demand” features they do not really use. Compliance is a an example. Or stuff that used to matter in a product category (and is still used as a filter) not really does not anymore. You can get a lot of value in your product by adding this stuff, but it is a waste of resources to “do it right” or match every competitor like for like. You may find again that you get essentially all the market success “value” from doing some fraction of the work. Note, I am not saying to ship stuff that is buggy or stuff that does not really work. If that is what you think I am saying, you misunderstand. A shorter version may to say “build what your customers will actually use and not much more”.

What you really want to spend your time on is the stuff that excites people, that differentiates your offering, and takes “relatively” little effort to execute. That is probably not “the last 20%”, most of the time.

> why the file API so hard to use that even experts make mistakes?

I think the short answer is that the APIs are bad. The POSIX fs APIs and associated semantics are so deeply entrenched in the software ecosystem (both at the OS level, and at the application level) that it's hard to move away from them.

I'm actually downloading one right now off Steam, and I'm limited more by IOPS on the drive I'm installing to than I am my internet speed due to the compression/encryption/unpacking. Not even using much more than 100Mbits consistently here, but I am installing to a microSD on a gaming handheld. But devices like this are getting more popular especially for a multi-kid household.

But even then, it's not something most people are constantly doing. Maybe a couple of times a month.

I'd still probably go with more than 200Mbit for a family, but knowing how many of the families I know use their home internet they're rarely coming even close to routinely maxing out a 500Mbit connection even with several kids.

Seconding - cool but curious about how it works
The Raku Programming language allows one to specify the required version, the required authority and API level:

use Foo::Bar:ver<0.1.2+>:auth<zef:name>:api<2>;

would only work if the at least version 0.1.2 of the Foo::Bar module was installed, authored by "zef:name" (basically ecosystem + nick of author), with API level 2.

Note that modules can be installed next to each other that have the same name, but different authorities and different versions.

Imports from modules are lexical, so one could even have one block use one version of a module, and another block another version. Which is handy when needing to migrate date between versions :-)

> In 2019, Google Fiber exited Louisville, KY, paying penalties for doing so

Those mistakes in Louisville were huge. Literally street destroying mistakes that city Civil Engineers predicted and fought from happening in the first place, but Google Fiber did them anyway. Left a huge bill to the city taxpayers. It wasn't bigger news and a bigger upset because of NDAs and other contract protection things involved, but as an outsider to those NDAs/contracts, I can say it was an incredibly bad job on too many fronts, and should have left Google Fiber with a much more tarnished reputation than it did.

It's insanity to be told that your claim is basically psudoscience or fake when night vision preservation, the mechanism of prevented eye-strain, is a well confirmed and relied upon part of our biology. Go talk to astronomers. I'm aware of Wikipedia claiming what you say it does. That's an incitement of Wikipedia and the big blue light crowd.

Further, actual studies of filteirng blue light needed the right display tech. Before OLED, I couldn't actually "turn off the non red pixels", and thus never fully eliminated blue light from my display. Most of the "science" around blue light is trash. Yes, I say this as someone who actively published at top AI conferences and is intimately familiar with peer review.

I'm going to keep on preserving my night vision and browsing the internet for hours with zero issues at night while being told that my red shifted phone is placebo. You try turning your OLED phone on at full brightness in the middle of the night with and without the red-shift and tell me which hurts your eyes more...

Blender is pretty approachable. How far are we lowering ourselves to be considered average joe? If it's "a few hours of poking" then sure. But you can create some decent procedural nature stuff with a few free plugins and a weekend or two of learning the basics of the program.

Can we not let creative things take a bit of minimal effort? When we already have tools that make it nearly trivial as is.

Ah, that’s a detail that I either forgot or did not know. Thank you.

It certainly would be nice if the C library had fewer built–in footguns. And if we could write programs in other languages without ever depending on it (which wouldn’t but much use when you’re relying on a C library anyway, but it still would be nice).

> Node/NPM compatibility

Bun is miles better in this regard.

Deno initially did not even want to focus on Node/NPM compatibility, and then backtracked once they understood the importance of it.

Bun OTOH runs the entire Node.js test suite on every commit, and the mentality of breaking less existing node/npm code is clear. e.g, just in this release, `bun publish` has the exact same CLI as `npm publish`, and bun also works out of the box with .npmrc.

About the Node.js test suite.. many modules are at 100% compatibility, and many are at 90%. You can track it here: https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/nodejs-apis

Also, they reimplement the V8 public C++ API in JavaScriptCore (!) so that packages like npmjs.com/cpu-features work [1]

Every new feature has this aspect to it, e.g the postgres client inbuilt is a drop-in replacement for the `postgres` package.

As far as Node/NPM compatibility, and thought given to compatibility in general, is concerned, there is absolutely no contest.

And if I'm allowed a little snarky slight... Deno couldn't even maintain compatibility with their own API for reading and writing files during the Deno 1->2 update.

How to Connect Your OLTP DB to Apache Pinot for Realtime Analytics
No, a single user would routinely max out their dial-up connection just doing normal browsing things. Even just pulling a lot of email from a pop endpoint could max out that connection. Browsing web pages with graphics would absolutely crush a dial up connection. Some places tried to do things like handle video over such a connection, but it was pretty painful and pretty much useless. Streaming a song was pretty pointless.

These days a 200Mbit connection would handle five or so users doom scrolling social media with videos and images while a few TVs play 4K streaming media while smart home devices chirp home all the secrets in the house and the door bell cam uploads a few clips every hour and the Sonos is playing a few different songs in a few different zones throughout the house for ambiance.

Sure, but why is that an interesting goal? Historically, bash has had very good backwards compatibility, and it’s unlikely that you need new features anyway.
Something like this just for photos has been in the back of my mind forever - it would be really nice to have a virtual folder built from images where the exif data says you used X camera or took the photos on X date. This would be useful for editing applications that are not catalog based, just point them at the virtual folder and query the images you want to edit, and there they are.

OpenAI does not have a history of disappearing people and when they return, their attitude has completely changed (see Jack Ma). OpenAI does not have a history of aggression against other nations shipping vessels. OpenAI does not have a history of corporate espionage and IP theft. OpenAI does not have a history of setting up police stations in other nations. OpenAI does not have a history of operating an illegal bio-lab in foreign nations. That's pretty defamatory to compare OpenAI to the CCP. OpenAI does not have a history of spreading a virus that killed millions and pointing fingers at other nations.

You missed the nuance here. Growing alone didn’t make him a participant, his use made him part of the demand for a commodity.

Thus if he had been growing wheat as practice or for the artistic value without using it then he would not have been considered as influencing the market.
