They’re trying

Hah. Our textbook market isn’t quite as captured. They run from $50-$350. I have about 100 textbooks and a bit under 200 books total.

I have a physical book collection worth thousands of dollars. The only party that has profited off me is Elsevier.

Markets aren’t capitalism

Never happened? Has it been retconned?

They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.

They have been awful stewards.

Git doesn’t have a concept of a preferred repository; your local copy is exactly as valid to git as a git server hosted on github.

The originally intended workflow as I understand it involved generating patches which would be shared via a mailing list.

In practice there will generally be a repository that’s considered “canonical” for a project, whether that’s the one on the computer of the lead maintainer or some hosted solution.

A basic git server is essentially just a repository owned by a restricted user with SSH access granted to maintainers.. This can allow users to push and pull from a centralised or semi-centralised repository in much the same way as GitHub.

It supports other hardware including more “embedded” systems. I’ve run it on a RasPi clone and on an F4 Clone

Mixed material objects cannot (generally) be recycled. This is focused on multi-material prints, so you can easily split out your PLA and TPU etc. for recycling. Also good if you’re directly recycling into new filament.

Can you expand on this? My experience with Argon is looking up a Wikipedia page in response to this comment, but it looks like it uses a salt as an input?

It’s for separating materials for recycling, not compost.

Clickspring [YouTube] [Patreon] has an ongoing project producing a replica with era-appropriate tooling. He’s actively contributed to research on the design and functioning of the device in furtherance of the project as well.

Any idea what a “waterfall” is in this context?

I’m not 100% confident I’ve understood the assignment, but I’ve been playing with a couple of app frameworks in rust that target the Web that might be of interest to you.

Dioxus - Reactive framework. Document markup is html with its own syntax, styling is CSS but all scripting is rust. Cross platform (web, android, ios [xcode required], linux, mac, windows) but using webviews for all of those, definitely Web first.

slint - Reactive framework again, has its own Domain Specific Language (DSL) for markup that’s not too distant from an html/css hybrid. Simple scripting can be done in the DSL but it also ties trivially into the rust side. This does its own rendering rather than generating html documents or using a webview, I believe even when targeting the web (via wasm).

Tauri - Gets brought up a lot when talking about web apps in rust, but I haven’t dug into it.

If looking into any of these sounds like the sort of thing you might be after, then I suggest having a scroll through AreWeGuiYet for other rust GUI frameworks. If I remember correctly, a significant fraction of those target web technologies, althought the filters on that website have never been all that useful.

I think you’re missing some key parts of the Star Trek lore. America didn’t peacefully evolve into the Federation. Earth wasn’t able to get past it’s self destructive tendencies until after World War III, a conflict so devastating that 30% of the Earth’s population was killed. My knowledge is more fuzzy on this, but I don’t think the American empire survived WWIII as an entity.

Also we have images of black holes.
