We have bubonic plague infections every year in the United States. Very, very few, admittedly, but it's not like it's been eradicated. So there's still benefit in studying it.

The more I hear about this so-called "SF Democratic Party," the more I'm convinced they don't speak for the majority of SF voters. Seriously. They seem to be some strange, centrist organization that no voters belong to and nobody knows where they get their money from.

The real money is in starlink replacing terrestrial cell phone operators.
That means starship. Everything else is a time waster or competition to that goal.

I'm still impressed that the Teams web client can't edit a message with an emoji in it without messing up the keyboard controls and often corrupting the message and losing data. It's had this bug for years. It's literally a messaging app where you can't reliably send messages.

For comparison, Starlink V3 satellites have a solar array wingspan of 70 meters.

They are, of course, technology that is about 40 years later than the ISS design

Just getting the stack up to render all of this shit is cool as shit. Maybe try and look for niches browser vendors are too corporate to touch and do them anyway?

Something I think could eventually have a huge impact if it ever caught on is diversifying away from PKI and the curse of the ubiquitous adhoc web login form... Support for whatever PAKEs are in OpenSSL like TLS-SRP. These let you login to websites securely without any certs via secure phishing resistant mutual password authentication bound to the TLS layer. If I remember right at least Apache and cURL support it but no browser does and needless to say no publicly available website I know of does either.

>Or gets rewritten in an LLM?

It'll get rewritten in rust by an LLM. Then no one will be able to understand the code.

Here the database outputs a fully rendered bitmap containing the frame to display. Client script driving everything is just taking that bitmap and pushing it out to the display.

While in general, I agree with your sentiment, you mentioning the Dunning-Kruger effect is not appropriate here. Dunning and Kruger (1999) does not claim incompetent people would consider themselves above the experts. It's just that incompetent people do no consider themselves as incompetent as they really are, and competent people don't understand how far above the laymen their knowledge is. But both would agree, that the expert knows more about the topic than the layman, and both would sort themselves in the right categories.

You could consider the effect of Dunning and Kruger (1999) as a "mental regression to the mean".

You are looking at it wrong. To eliminate the woketards you would have to eliminate the actors. The personality that makes up most actors is wholly left by nature. They're sensitive and aware of other people and their feelings, unlike most on the right, who are convinced they are the current center of the universe and correct with God's backing in all things.

I’m old as dirt, use teams everyday. Works great for me.
Only problem I have is crap handling of multi tenants.

PaperWhite is a game changer. I can't stand reading the Kindle app on my phone, and my really nice PC monitor sucks too. PaperWhite is a different thing entirely. No eye strain; you can read it in the sunlight. You can read it in total dark. I honestly HATE Amazon, but I've been using KindleUnlimited as a library card for many years now. I've 3 kindles in 3 places. I picked up the Ericson Malazan Omnibus in hardback and it was so heavy, and the pages wouldn't stay turned, and I couldn't read it in the dark. That was the point at which I realized how fsck'n lazy I'd become.

Already feel this way about RAM. Last time I checked a few weeks ago what I spent $2k on three years ago now costs over $24k. At least resale markets are surging which should help for awhile.

@%#&^@ FTC not FCC..sigh Today is my birthday, I'm really old and beginning to feel it...
