Distributing power across a group of communities over the same topic (e.g. like seats in a congress/parliament) is a nice thought.
However, my second thought was how vulnerable that is in a fediverse. To continue the analogy, an adversary could create new states (server/communities) of arbitrary population (accounts) at will.
Dedicated incremental static type checkers for dynamic languages already exist. In particular, Pyright for Python is fantastic and in many ways surpasses the type systems of classic typed languages
In the US? IMO only possible in exclusive environments similar to saunas at spas or membership-based clubs/gyms
I think your ideas are too non-practical/specialized/advanced/low-level for your stated goal of 'digital literacy". They read more like college intro/followup course material and are too esoteric to be readily absorbed, esp by generic teenagers, even if they’ve self-selected to be “lightly interested”.
In recreational climbing, skin calluses and surface abrasion aren’t usually much of a concern compared to tendon health. Skin heals light damage quite easily.
However, it’s not uncommon for a new (or experienced) climber to develop their muscles beyond what their own tendons can take. Since it takes tendons so long to strengthen, it’s common to need managing the risk of finger pulley tendon injuries in climbing.
Also, I do not know how these nuances apply in your context of your medical condition.
There’s the practical distinction between “everyone can do it with some dedicated intent” (so few actually bother) vs “everyone can do it on a whim”
In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone’s time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU’s, after all.
So it’s similar to asking whether there’s a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.
I’ve heard of publishing software to design photo albums/scrapbooks/cards etc. Is there a photo collection manager for archiving, sorting and filtering?
Given access to a large set of personal photos, say tens of thousands, it should be able to group, categorize, tag, and sort along a myriad of dimensions.
Example dimensions would be time, people and places. It would need some facial recognition/image classifier/similarity scoring capability.
There definitely are some cloud offerings today that do similar things, but I’d want it to work locally for privacy and practical reasons.
Must be proprietary, bc TOTP shouldn’t be blocked by age of the device
If talking about a closed source app, their whole goal is to move off of hosting closed source systems.
Article says the decision follows a successful pilot project, so they’re willing to absorb the short term costs. Optimistically in the long run, the symbiotic benefits of having a government entity using and supporting a full FOSS system will be huge.
What do you do for a living/what are you into that isn’t super deep in some way? What field did you rabbit hole into in the past that makes you go, “never again”, now?
I think people are being lazy, in a selfish, tragedy of the commons sort of way.
When standing in line, they all watch the customer stand there doing nothing as the cashier checks out items. If only they’d bag their own things, we’d all be able to get on with our lives that much sooner. Instead, they continue standing there doing nothing, as the cashier now bags their items.
Then the next person in line moves up and also just stands there, also unwilling to do anything to help speed things along.
Not surprising that PDF comments were being used as a task list/tracker. In the same manner, Google Docs supports “@-mentions”, “assign to”, and “resolved” functionality for comments.
All you can do is send feedback to Adobe somehow and hope they add that feature back in. In the meantime, best to find an alternative workflow.
I’ve created a Google spreadsheet to accomplish this sort of thing: Split Payment Calculator
It’s got formatting and locked areas to help layman usage, but it’s ofc still a spreadsheet UI and not a dedicated app. A bit of math proficiency and spreadsheet formula knowledge helps.
Could be replicated on other spreadsheet software like Excel or Calc, although Sheets solves a lot of problems at once, like accessibility, sync, versioning, sharing, etc
For someone learning programming from zero, it was specifically invented to be:
Hedy is the easy way to get started with textual programming languages! Hedy is free to use, open source, and unlike any other textual programming language in three ways.
- Hedy is multi-lingual, you can use Hedy in your own language
- Hedy is gradual, so you can learn one concept and its syntax a time
- Hedy is built for the classroom, allowing teachers to fully customize their student’s experience
Adding to the points above:
At the end of the gradual progression, Hedy becomes vanilla Python.
An aspect of the 3rd point is having an online editor & execution environment, so you don’t need to deal with setup.
After completing the Hedy lessons, can follow up with other learning resources like freecodecamp.org or codeacademy.com.
That example doesn’t sound particularly difficult. I’m not saying it’d be trivial, but it should be approximately as difficult as writing a compiler. Seems like the real problem is not a technical one.
Wonder what makes it so difficult. “Cobol to Java” doesn’t sound like an impossible task since transpilers exist. Maybe they can’t get similar performance characteristics in the auto-transpiled code?
It’s the difference between knowing you’ll grow and graduate together with your classmates vs knowing you’re only going to see them for that one month before you move away.
