At least this one had real missions fly if it suffers the same fate. The crew of Artemis is among the ones most aware that most space missions never happen. The anxiety of being in these astronaut classes must be unbearable, especially as the ISS ages. I don't know if this mission can maintain public confidence in the program as the world grows more chaotic and people's attentions are not focused on the sky but the ground.

The flight risk is surely acceptable if this is not the first flight of many but the last.

This the part I feel should be focused on. HDPE is notable for being safe to handle during its entire lifecycle, from production to use to recycling. Even when pushed well past its softening point, it does not create any hazardous fumes. A sustainable future does not mean avoiding the use of plastics entirely, it means identifying which are the most useful in the long-term.

1. Force out the people who are making it suck. This is difficult with how managers are trained nowadays, never to take sides even if one party is clearly a drag on the group. Shunning and isolation are options, but ones very hard to keep up without support. If it's the manager who is the bad influence, you might as well be trying to shame a baron out of owning a castle.

2. Stop caring about work. Phone it in. Don't care anymore.

3. Don't be present physically in that environment.

Of course people want to work from home when every interaction is unpleasant, when management is badgering you into doing things. It also saves on transportation cost, cost of caring for family, every single thing that an employer likes to pretend is not their cost to pay. It's not about people being naturally 'introverted' or 'extroverted,' it's about the social environment everyone, including management, creates around them.

He'd be better looking at smaller, less-known compilers, like the Portable C Compiler or the Intel C Compiler. If you want hyper-optimized, better-than-assembly quality, you pretty much have to give up predictability. The best optimizations that are predictable can't be written using modern compiler theory. They instead involve a lot of work, care, and attention that can't be generalized to other architectures. It can require a love for an architecture, even if's a crap one.

It's a tradeoff. Not every compiler needs to be optimized, and not every compiler needs to embody the spirit of a language.

You get so many internationalist movements out of Russia because it already was in many ways international internally. Lots of languages and land, but both travel and speech were restricted by authorities, secret police seemed to hover invisibly everywhere. The language of everything important, the language of rulers, was Russian. Vacations were in-country, if they happened at all.

Looking to the UK, France, and the US is in this case misleading.

Posts like these are the 'no fun allowed' of constructed languages, and it pops up most often with Esperantists. Like a diplomat, you refuse to let people use words carelessly, or loosely.

Toki Pona is in itself a reaction to that. It's an exploration in wordplay, puns, and local culture.

EDIT: You also left like... a wall of text explaining why Esperanto is far superior to Toki Pona? That isn't fun to read or talk about. If the idea is to replace English as a language of the world, we don't have to bring the stern attitude of an English teacher along with it.

The sister post got my intent well.

China and Japan used to have a lot of Esperantists before WWII, for that reason.

> After World War I, the League of Nations considered adopting Esperanto as a working language and recommending that it be taught in schools, but proposals along these lines were vetoed by France.

It may be Eurocentric, but it's hell of a lot easier for diplomats to learn than English or French!

Ergo layouts are nice in theory but they make it harder to touch type. The modern keyboard layout is an example of a standard that works: everyone can sit down at a keyboard and start typing, even if function keys are different here or there.

EDIT: Ah, of course I am just one singer in the chorus of self-taught typists responding.

Give this material 20 years, and we will see how it fared.

During WW2, that role was naturally even a bigger deal than in peacetime. It's also where you got dumped if you were dishonorably discharged. That's why the gay community of California was so unusually concentrated into one district of one city.
