Because working days don't count as living (days spent worrying also don't so being jobless hardly helps). Only secure spare time is life time. After all the chores you have to do besides your job, an average adult doesn't have much time to live. A day per week max. Even if you have full 2-day weekend for yourself you still need a day to recover a bit from the burnout before you can really live. This said, count how many days of life do kids get per annum and how much do adults get. Many don't get any.

Sounds metaphorical. Apparently you were a natural-born poet.

It freakin speeds up every year, never stopping, almost exponentially!

I can't believe they didn't have this right previously. I have almost always (except when I was paid specifically for being available anytime) had a habit of turning my phone off/airplane as soon as the business hours end.

> Combined with the difficulty in getting Clojure talent

Why bother looking for talent in a specific language? Every reasonably intelligent (not even necessarily talented) developer can learn another high-level language in some weeks.

> Micro-libraries should never be used. They should either be copy-pasted into your codebase, or not used at all.

I would prefer them to be built straight in the languages.

Why does my brain have to simulate so much of weird and stressful bullshit adventures which can never happen IRL? If it mostly is concerned about how to move the limbs then why I never remember actually using my body to do anything in a dream except the sensation I invoke to fly? To me it feels like my dreaming brain is mostly simulating emotional experiences.

I've read about breeder reactors in a German kids book in the nineties. How long do they have to be "experimental"? No surprise the nuclear industry is so weak when the progress is kept so slow (I used the word "kept" because the thing we are discussing can hardly be considered a bleeding edge advance).

Perhaps I am under the influence of stereotypes as I haven't explored the subject thoroughly enough. But this is not the general Germany quality stereotype, I specifically mean the nuclear tech.

There is a way you can influence a thing neighbors do - just do it yourself so good (also in terms of economic efficiency, besides safety and quality) they would prefer to rely on you instead of doing it themselves.

I don't mean the reputation of doing everything great which obviously is a myth. I am speaking specifically about the German nuclear installations safety standards.

Aren't nuclear power plants generally ran by enterprises which are less concerned about sales and stocks than car manufacturers are?

Why is anybody troubled by the waste then? Why won't they just build some reactors of this kind?

Isn't it possible to engineer plants which use this waste for fuel?

Coincidentally (to the fact Germany is actively phasing out nuclear) Germany is the very country I would trust to run nuclear power plants without worry - every other nuclear-powered nation seems less good at quality and safety, the safety measures Germany applied seemed really good.

Yet nowadays it appears Germany essentially outsources nuclear power generation to its neighbors who would still contaminate Germany in case of a nuclear incident at their land.

To me it seems the very distinction is toxic. All users of a platform should be considered equal, not separated into developers and consumers. Creating your own apps for whatever an audience to use it (for yourself, for specific people you want or for everyone) should be considered a normal feature any user may use.

I see. Thank you for clarification.

> 4/10 The External Link Account Entitlement? It's like they're actively trying to make it sound complicated.

WTF this even is? I have no idea what could "The External Link Account Entitlement" mean.

I get your point and won't hurry to object. You maybe right. But I wouldn't hurry to agree either. You may be wrong as well. This is questionable. For example many people enjoy bloody violent games and movies (I specifically did during my teen years, when I actually wasn't formally allowed by the ESRB ratings) but absolutely don't want and never wanted anything like that to happen in the real life. Perhaps a middle way should be chosen - still ban all, incl. AI generated child abuse content - don't really normalize it, but don't put anybody in prison for having artificial pictures on their PCs.

Something can only be evil when it harms or is going to harm somebody.

No matter how abhorrent a picture is it can not harm anybody by merely existing. Harm can (or may not) only be inflicted to others during its production or with its demonstration.

Banning possession of pictures produced without participation of any living person other than the viewer makes no sense.

Banning possession of child abuse pictures used to make sense because possessing implied buying and buying incentivized production which depended on actual child abuse. Nowadays nobody has to be abused and I'm totally fine with weirdos using whatever pictures their sick imagination may want as long as this keeps them satisfied enough to be able to keep their wicked desires secret from every living person. I don't want the police to bust such people as long as they don't actually harm anybody and don't pay anybody to do the harm. No crime without an actual victim is worth ruining anybody's life, whatever kind of freak they are.

How comes we had perfect TUIs and no problems on DOS yet apparently always have some problems with TUIs on Linux?

How would you use WiFi on Haiku if it were there? I thought people mostly use Haiku inside VMs like VirtualBox so network connection goes through an emulated fiber.

I dream of Haiku being ported to Raspberry Pi and I even was sadly surprised it isn't - to me the primary value of Raspberry Pi seems it being an uniform standard hardware platform, this sounds like a great enabler for alternative OSes as lack of need to support all sorts of different hardware makes the thing a lot easier.

> no sugar is miserable

This is very subjective

> You'll die anyway

But you better avoid cancer, dementia etc. Regular consumption of sugar and/or HFCS likely increases the risks.

Does it pose any risk to people with healthy cardiovascular systems (perfect BMI)?

> or pick a real challenge like bit-banging low speed USB in Rust on a dirt cheap RISC-V micro

A USB so slow it can't even handle a keyboard smoothly?

Firefox already has a sidebar and a selection of extensions which put tabs in it, also adding many extra conveniences. For example on the computer I am now using to write this I use Tab Center Reborn which also adds a tab filter field which is very handy.

I'd rather set it to running speed. Occasionally you would run through an airport but you probably can't do that comfortably all the way from one terminal to another one. Riding a personal portable electronic vehicle would just let you do the same all the way without to much sweating.

I see. Why not just limit the speed to that of a fast walking / slow running human and/or fine those who would ride carelessly enough to bump so people would have to remember deciding to ride means taking responsibility? Maybe also ban using smartphone while riding.

Why? Is there supposed to be any problem in riding suitcases besides the very fact this formally breaks a law? Shouldn't they better just update the law to add an exception?

Great point.
