There's nothing wrong with telling your story in a book. But telling it as a half truth is just as bad a lying.

Are there economists here?

If you could make (non radioactive) gold AND keep it secret, how much (oz?) could you produce a year without substantially affect gold's market value? Asking for a friend.

That's very interesting, two comments:

- Automatic black box with autocomplete is a deal breaker for me. It'll drive me mad.

- I only use the mouse in the terminal if I have to (it disturbs and slows my flow!). So anything that helps me NOT using the mouse would be better. At the moment I think it's only text select/copy I use the mouse for. And resize the window. So a magic quick way to select text and copy from the keyboard would be very nice.

But I do realize I'm not the intended audience.

in the Netherlands all kids are basically expected to bring their own cold sandwiches every day

Nothing wrong with that. But there's a massive difference of everyone bringing their sandwiches vs. everyone getting a hot meal but little Johnny having his yanked away because his parents can't afford it.

The thing about witnessing a 7-year-old having their hot lunch tray yanked away and replaced with a cold sandwich

It's bizarre that this happens in America.

That's simple. It's so simple that it uses the word simple 12 times in that simple short text. That must be very simple. Simple as that! I like simple stuff.

Would handling governmental data make you a high value target?

I highly recommend MangoJelly Solutions's tutorials.

Here's a playlist for FreeCAD 1.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_yh_S31R9g&list=PLWuyJLVUNt...

But he has a bunch of other videos.

There is never silence. Software buttons can do two things, a) what they say they do, or if not, b) trigger my rage response right away.

Seriously cool! A Linux build on the horizon?

Yikes! Sorry!

I click "Download the App" and fuck all happens. How the hell did you fuck up that simple app?

Lord jesus fucking christ. I love this motherfucking shit.

Note added January, 2022: This document was written for Go's release in 2009, and has not been updated significantly since. Although it is a good guide to understand how to use the language itself, thanks to the stability of the language, it says little about the libraries and nothing about significant changes to the Go ecosystem since it was written, such as the build system, testing, modules, and polymorphism. There are no plans to update it, ...

China will definitely blink first

There are other countries in the world apart from US and China. US has effectively alienated most of these with tariffs (save for Russia).

So prepare for a lot of friendly blinking between these countries to gang up on the bully.

Apparently it isn't unlimited: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42713451

It's really hard to find stuff from the "old internet" on google. I know it's there. But instead it feeds me garbage marketing articles that just touch the surface and then try to sell me something.

No. The guy showed up in Bows & Arrows contest with M1 Abrams.

Pretty much every time I add a new contact to my phone I start to get really strange ads online. I figured it out when I added a guy who's retiring for the army. I started getting retirement ads for soldiers.

Then, I add a guy I loosely know and what do I start seeing? Cocaine rehab ads. I shit you not. It's not hard to argue that this is more than a minor privacy violation.

This was foreseen 3 years ago: https://ghuntley.com/fracture/

What does it cost to lose the control over it? I'm sure the an equivalent database could be maintained in another country for a lot cheaper, like in China or Russia.

they all seem to do a great job

Yeah right.

Microsoft loves open source, remember? It doesn't love you.

Brilliant idea. To make it more accurate:

- Don't force people to participate in jury duty when waiting for jury answer. Many of them will just click random answers.

- Provide "I don't know/Skip" as an answer. Otherwise the options are "Pick a random" and "Logout"

- Allow jury to write text feedback or at least give them a button saying "All provided answers are wrong / NA / Fallacy / ... "

- "your verdict is simulated by AI" if there aren't enough people logged in. Don't do that. I have no interested in that answer.

Thanks. I was only going to find the part about UML but I ended listening to the whole thing. What a legend!

UML was a scam really. They took a lot of very useful diagrams and created a absolute behemoth of unproven system to develop software and sold it.

The diagrams are very nice and useful. But the UML as a process, if taken literally, it a total disaster.

Lines of code is a pretty poor measurement

But let's say at least that it's abused, exploited, perverted and a molested measurement before we call it a poor one. It not all that bad when you have context.

He is a self-made multi-billionaire

HAHAHA! No he's not. He inherited his dad's empire. Tanked it and the Russians bailed him out.

He's a charlatan, fraudster and a con artist.

If only Mango Mussolini had an ounce of credibility.
