cacois

This just raised a big red flag for me:

I use it the way I used to outsource tasks to junior developers.

Is this not concerning to you, in a broader sense? These interactions were incredibly formative for junior devs (they were for me years ago) - its how to grew new senior devs. If we automate away the opportunity to train new senior devs, what happens to the future?

But it indicates that something is really wrong, right? And that we should all keep noticing that and keep working on a solution?

I think the negative responses are directed at the use of "meh" and the seeming indifference to an actual problem that could really use a solution, even if we don't have a perfect one everybody agrees on yet.

It's a house of cards, people!

very good call on podman support - it didn't immediately occur to me but that's an obvious reason for this choice.

That's a lovely vision. If by the same miracle I retire around the same time, I'm in - haven't played since college, so I'm sure its hardly the same game I knew.

Wow. Well, I'll take the correction. I've never heard of anything like that. However, while this is also scary, I still think its unfair to say the evidence of a potential problem type in a new technology like EVs is not concerning, and to say that the likelihood of fire is greater in ICE (because I don't think its fair to add in the comparison of fire risk while turned on to that of fire risk when turned off)

I agree that AIM was fine. Not as good as in-person interaction, and no real substitute for it, but as an augmentation it caused no real harm. Chatrooms could be in the same boat, but had more problems.

However, social media ever since feeds and the "like" button are an entirely different beast which is addicting, dehumanizing, and antisocial - preventing kids from developing socially.

No no no, you can't compare the ICE risk. an ICE car sitting in my garage has basically zero chance of catching fire and burning my house down while my family sleeps.

What this incident shows is that with an EV, charging in the garage as its supposed to do overnight, that chance is >0.

That is an enormously BIG DEAL, and will matter to a huge number of consumers and lawmakers alike.

This is so important to me. I find its an enormous value of mine to make sure that my kid knows what can be fixed, even if not how to fix it. So many people don't even know its possible to fix many things, so they don't learn, they don't try (and of course they give professionals a huge amounts of money for things that require 30 mins and a $2 part)

Respectfully disagree - their peers often make an unhealthy environment on the internet. Kids need in-person communication and interactions, its necessary for healthy development. The internet looks like it provides social interaction, but it actually does not provide what kids need. They should interact with their peers elsewhere, synchronously.

Ok, but here me out - I think many things are missed in this take. This one immediately jumps out at me (from the manifesto): "Build projects around motivated individuals"

The manifesto is predicated on this basis - that the individuals are motivated and capable of delivering when empowered. In a large corporate environment, can you make that assumption? Is your hiring always that good? Can you provide the type of environment that always produces high morale?

I'm no fan of scrum, but I've also seen what happens when "unmotivated" individuals are given too much free reign - nothing. How do you, as a large business, address that? Mass firings, or more "active" process? Perhaps business can't get over the risk mitigation that scrum provides?

I'm very interested in this topic, but currently ignorant enough about NES game dev to make this repo fairly cryptic. Is there anyone here with more knowledge that can explain what exactly this does (more deeply than "enable writing NES games in Python, kind of"), and how it compares to other tooling out there?

I wouldn't say having some type of insurance == access to healthcare.

The increase in deductibles and decrease in % coverage throughout the course of my career has been shocking.

I think this is why the skyrocketing costs of healthcare in the US are so upsetting to me. Its sucking away the hope by putting so many of these technological miracles out of reach.

The top of my mind was when I was having all sort of trouble with my Dell XPS and needed to find info on some bios operations, GPU testing, etc. Turned out it was a hardware failure that was tough to prove. Google yielded nothing, but there were a few threads on reddit that sent me in the right direction.

My experience has been the opposite in the last few years. I've found myself filtering results google/duckduckgo specifically for reddit, because I was finding better answers to technical questions. Anecdotal, of course, and it does seem to be getting worse (less successful for me) over the last 6 months.

Folks that have Framework laptops, how is the latest generation hardware as a daily driver? I've not been following as closely as I could, but am very interested in the mission and ideas.

To the above posters credit, it sounds like their claim of exaggeration was spot on (he didn't say it was a lie). You didn't say their libraries don't compare to US ones, you said they don't exist.

Lightweight is your problem here, I think, but I've used CouchDB successfully in similar situations. However, its not in-memory like Redis is.

So your argument is that its closer to virtualization, than to emulation?

Followed your work since that launch - thanks for everything! Enjoy your family and find some new fun things to explore.

Oh wow, I had no idea Randy Pausch had created such a system. I still remember seeing him lecture at CMU. I will take a deep look at this, thank you!

Ya that's exactly what we've done a bit of. She's interested in what I do, and its something I enjoy so she enjoys doing it with me. However, she's just learning to read so the page full of text and syntax is too much for her to really grok. This is why I was looking at other systems so maybe we can play together and create computer programs in a more visual arena.

These are some great ideas, thanks! I've seen a few intuitive programmable robots (things like a car that does different things depending on the color it drives over), but these are some I hadn't found yet.

Its a good set of exercises, and we do it some already (we bake together). Right now she really wants to "make things on the computer". Of course there's always paint apps and the like, but I was doing advent of code problems the other night and she asked what it was, and she got excited when I said it was "programming puzzles".

This analysis doesn't seem right to me, let me try to think it through. It seems more like "the business is blocking competition from selling at lower prices". The problem in question here is actually the playstation "store".

I'm trying to find a good analogy. Say we're in the early NES days (no online stores, just physical). Nintendo gets a margin on games, because presumably game developers have to pay them for dev kits or some such to make an NES game. The game devs (distributors, publishers, whatever) then sell the game to the stores for some price that gives them a margin. Then the stores add their margin on and sell it to customers. Three margins in there, from there different businesses that have competitors, so they try to keep their margins competitive.

Now let's say Nintendo made a deal with Toys R Us such that NES games could only be sold there, no other stores. Assuming that didn't destroy demand for NES games, Toy's R Us could then ramp up their margins to whatever they want, because there's no other option to consumers. Unfair advantage? Stifling competition?

With Sony, they own the store, and have ensured there's only one. So they get to leverage the same advantage as above. Is it unfair?

Honestly, Z-Type blew me away the first time I saw it: https://zty.pe/

Oh man, I couldn't disagree more. Learning is learning. My education was broad in a few ways, and so many of the thing I learned that were seemingly unrelated to technical skills have made me a better engineer in many ways.

That's a good point, and fair. Sorry to jump the gun.
