There's a difference between state-run and publicly-funded.

No, but I ride a handmade, bespoke bicycle.

I think it's fair to say there are other ways to interpret what happened with Elm. What if Evan stopped working on it because he needed to make a living and working on Elm wasn't going to achieve that? In that case, if working on Acadia will make him a a living, it seems reasonable to believe he will keep working on it.

From the homepage https://acadia.engineering/:

| Not an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM).

On the other hand, with Elm there was no correlation between adoption and funding for development. With Acadia, he's trying a different funding model, so that might mean better support for both Acadia and Elm.

I don't think it's useful to account for time spent outside of work by the same hourly income as a way to measure how much something costs. By that logic, spending an hour listening would also "cost" $300.

I accept that as a software developer, I have a myopic view on it, but it doesn't have to be hard.

- Get a domain name

- Get a VPS with an nginx image pre-installed

- Write a plain text file with the info you want shown (hours, contact info, etc...)

Yeah it's not sexy, but it's a start and it can be changed when time and interest allows.

FEIE is only one of the options for avoiding federal income tax. The other is the Foreign Tax Credit, which has no such limit: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1116.pdf. If the place an American lives and works has a higher income tax rate than the US one, in practice he will not face any tax liability, regardless of income level.

No, the point is that you can set up the testing exercise without using an LLM to do a simple find and replace.

What sucked about it? I've been considering it for a long time as an alternative to flying across the Atlantic.

The reason there will never be enough lanes is not population growth. It's that we generally don't provide people with alternatives to driving, and adding more lanes just makes even more people have to drive, since things get even farther apart.

Are you saying on iOS there is no way to browse the Internet without an ad blocker? Maybe I should get an iPhone to stop spending time on my phone...

That's simply good writing practice. I find it more taxing to read digits than prose.

I can recommend The Story of Art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Art

To me the question of what activity/method is more "valuable" in the context of art is kind of missing the point of art.

This may be a good summary of the blog post, but in my opinion it is an uninformed understanding of Elm and Elm's history. JavaScript FFI isn't and never has been a "critical language feature". Rather, people discovered an implementation detail that allowed them to create thin Elm wrappers around JS libs (think Elm interface for d3, leaflet, moment, etc...). This was (rightly IMO) seen as undesirable for multiple reasons and 0.19 closed off the loophole at the compiler level.

As for being banned from the community, I keep seeing this claim but have never seen or heard of such things happening. Sure, there may be a negative reception to folks who keep wanting to re-litigate a decision that was made over and over, but nobody has been banned from anything.

But do either of them manage to show a legible street name at a convenient zoom level?

Imagine a parent today driving to work and dropping off their two kids at school on the way. Instead of one car making three stops, you're suggesting three robo taxis would accomplish the same thing. What do you think already clogged roads would look like in this future? The only scalable solution is public transit, walking, and cycling.

I think doctors' incentives are more aligned with patients than the incentives of insurance companies. I agree that incentives aren't perfectly aligned, but I'd rather a doctor decide whether I should get a treatment than an insurance company, given the system we have.

I'm no fan of FAANGs, but what is "their fair share"? The entire point of OSS is that they don't have a fair share to pay. It's entirely voluntary.

Doctors should make that determination, not insurance companies.

"the signal-to-noise ratio has grown too low" is a bit odd for me. The ratio would not have grown at all.

If one handyman or one farmer or one trucker stopped working, no one would really care. If all CS researchers stopped working, I'd wager people would care, just as they would if handymen/farmers/truckers stopped working.

For me, the best monitors by far for programming are LG's 28in DualUp, due to the aspect ratio. I have a pair side by side, and it's effectively four 1440p screens in a 2x2 layout, giving lots of vertical space without a bezel as well as horizonal on each screen.

Cancellation terms vary by vendor. With some better ones, you can cancel 24 hours before the end of the month to avoid being billed for the next month.

Hippos can't actually swim though.

The solar and batteries have much lower emissions, and can be used as all times (not just during power outages) to lower the cost of electricity. Anyway it doesn't have to be generator or solar + batteries... Why not both? Have the solar, reduce emissions and utility bills. Have the generator as a backup if power is out and batteries are empty.

Yes, people who do the same work should be paid differently based on where they live. It makes complete sense.

I realize probably many (most?) people open this site on a mobile device, and the design is optimized for that. Still, does it bother anyone that on a desktop monitor, less than a third of the horizontal width is used for content?
