There’s no reason to invent your own head canon, the influence was openly acknowledged when Swift was new and it continues now that the language is developed out in the open (see Swift Ownership Manifesto)
Open Source comes out of Anarchist philosophy not Communist State owned type ideas. There is no direct ownership, its a project built as a common good, and owned by "the public". Its a community garden that people are free to plant and harvest as they see fit.
I know this is beside the point but I'm quite amused by this statement. Are you saying you're a totalitarian? I'm not trying to poke at you here; I'm genuinely interested what you consider the furthest thing from an anarchist to be?
From an Anarchist perspective isn't any state necessarily totalitarian? But I do believe there aught to be a strong, patriarchal, centralized state with strict laws and severe punishments. I think Singapore is close to an ideal.
The concept of common-pool resource is the basis of the commons, the default state of mankind since its inception to recent times, and the philosophy of commons is called COMMUNism for a reason. In English, it should have been translated more correctly as COMMONism, from the COMMONS.
Correct. It is therefore COMMUNist with the correct term. That's what communism is - the philosophy of the commons. Except note that the running of that commons, which everyone uses, requires socialist practices (what you mistakenly call communist).
I am not sure providers are entirely blameless. My daughter had an annual checkup, when we were asked if there were other issues, we asked about a bug bite. They charged us for a second emergency visit, what the hell is the point of an annual visit if we can't ask about issues? Insurance company okayed it. So they are both at fault for this insanity.
The most efficient medical experiences I have had have both been ones where there were no insurance involved:
1. A USCIS surgeon, that was like 80 years old, running his own office, everything via check, on paper. Guy put more patients through per day then the big hospital systems special immigrant medical services did.
2. A specialized Eye Surgeon who did my wife's ICL eye surgery (which insurance wont cover). Ended up being the most efficient practice I've seen, every follow up and pre-surgery meeting was not separately billed. Just the surgery was. Eye Doctors / Surgeon spent a ton of time with you. And they had massive amounts of flexibility. But even the out of pocket surgery was probably less than an insurance covered surgery at a hospital.
I am not familiar with this astro framework they used. But having built some sites using Pure HTML/JS back in the day, React, Angular, Vue, Rails ERB, Rails Hotwire, and HTMX. I think HTML first websites are absolutely the way to go. Rails Hotwire with View Components makes rails sites super fast, faster to develop and easy to re-use components. HTMX more generally, but Ive used it with Spring boot and Thymeleaf. I really don't want to go back to SPAs. Development time is less and the website performance is better, and I haven't really seen any regressions in capability. With HTMX and some url parameters, I can make a pure HTML site that seems like a Single Page Application but without the excessive loading times.
I first tested Astro on my site and never went back. Now every new project defaults to Astro and I have to have a reason not to use it. So far no reasons. It's simple, fast and it kinda fits my desire to keep things minimal. For example, yes, page content matters, but all but one page on my site is under 10kb, most hovering in the 3-4kb range (100% of the downloadable content)
China isn't that cheap for labor. And if you think the guys in Z.ai or xiaoxiao aren't the exact same guys from Tsinghua, Peking, MIT, Stanford, CMU, etc. and pulling in amazing salaries you'd be wrong.
Cognito just supported multi-region? For identity this seems like a very high priority issue. I was at a company 10 years ago that we didn't use Cognito to build, and build our own AWS based identity because Cognito didn't have this (and just seemed pretty half-baked).
New York doesn't have many "empty lots". If it's agricultural land that's getting converted into datacenters, it probably supports a comparable number of temporary and permanent jobs per acre in the region's climate.
> Over the past 10 years the number of farms and amount of land actively being farmed in the United States has steadily decreased. Between 2015 and 2025 the number of farms decreased by almost 10 percent and the land being farmed dropped by more than 4 percent. The changes in New York in this period have been more dramatic, with 15 percent fewer New York farms and 11 percent less land in farm production than in 2015.
Are you sure New York doesn't have many empty lots? I can go drive through Syracuse, Rochester, or Buffalo and find plenty. There's a ton of land that is not being farmed that are is fully of rocky, poor quality soil.
The data centers weren't going to go into NYC, but upstate New York has plenty of space for Data Centers. Oswego has two power plants, and could use two more. Building is good.
