Respectfully, it's factual.

Using 'DTUs' for SQL Database and both 'Compute Units' and IOPS for PostgreSQL & MySQL makes it rather difficult to compare the services.

Any advice on how to compare performance for a given price?
Cannes isn't forcing anyone to do anything. Relax. There is still an audience for theatre releases so Cannes will be fine and so will Netflix.

Used car market is pretty great if you have weeks available to find a good one that has been used well and maintained properly.

Anectodal as it might be I drive a stupid unreliable car from 2004... that has been going faultless twelve years in my hands.

Luck is also involved, but some research into engine tech and model build quality goes a long way in restricting the research and it's way better than those statistic collecting websites that don't account, for example, years of mehanical abuse that some brand gets more than other because of the segment they appeal.
I agree. With a little discipline, namespacing and a good project organization you can be very productive using only jQuery. No framework to learn, no need to update your app to the latest incompatible version (angular), you do not need to wait 6 months until you can hire a new developer.

The only thing that I would use is a CSS framework.
Very good point - I guess it could work of someone somehow invented an economy in there that allowed for people to exchange time for money (as in work). No idea what it could be, but in theory - why not, right.
Python and perl are not always the best option. For example, if I am executing a lot of system commands (sometimes through ssh), checking outputs with grep/awk, reading files, calling make, why use a language that is going to be far more verbose, difficult to modify, and show problems because it's not executing the shell in the correct profile or things like that? For interacting with the system, there's nothing better than shell scripts. You mainly only have to take care with the quotes to avoid word separation and globbing, and use the *nix commands to avoid recreating the wheel.

No the simulations don't have to be real time or massively multiplayer. A simulation has no players at all so I'm not sure how it could be massively multiplayer.

It would most likely be used to test infrastructure or policy decisions. For example, what happens to your traffic in your city if you add this bus route, or how would a contagious bioweapon spread under certain conditions.

Yeah, in the OP why wouldn't you make the same LDAP query using any of the numerous libraries available for other languages?

The reason I switched to an iPhone from a Samsung S6 was that one day when I woke up I got a notification stating something like "We've installed you some microsoft apps". The same day I went to my local Apple store and bought an iPhone. What stops them doing this kind of things in the future?
The problem for me is in properly estimating the time it will take to automate a particular task. I often underestimate the time it takes to do it well enough to cover all the cases I would handle intuitively.

Usually though I never regret it - once it is done. But at the time putting a day or two dent in my schedule makes me pretty cross.
You have gotten enough contra for this as this has nothing to do with science but teaching (and has long been tested), but one misconception I have not seen addressed yet is the fact that although there are some differences between cells, those are minimal from a genome stand point (a few changed letters of 10^9 in total). If you have two books with the same text and one has ten commas more, randomly distributed through the book, you would probably also call them identical(or not even notice) although they are not.

As a further note, while we can sequence the genome of cell bulks since about 2004, sequencing of single cell sequencing came up in the last ten years (with an accuracy of about 99.99%, so many random mistakes add up to a much higher degree of variation as is observed here), so if you did not went to science class less than ten years ago (with a teacher trained in the same time frame), your argument does not really make sense.

Well, shell scripts are extremely convenient. It's easy to write very simple ones since they're a natural extension of shell usage.

So it's really easy to go from

$ command1

$ command2

to:

#!/bin/bash

command1

command2

As a result, everybody "likes" bash scripts since they're so easy to write, initially.

And these shell scripts will work well in 80% of situations and you can get them to 90-95% just by sprinkling a few ifs around.

Once thes script becomes longer and more complex and you want to make them easier to read and DRYer, that's when the pain begins. Or when you need to handle a bit of logic which would be trivial to do with better data structures such as arrays or dictionaries or sets...

You can work around these issues, of course, but almost every workaround is either ugly or a hack (as someone was joking, "elegant hacks" for older Unix hackers, "gross hacks" for younger ones :) ).
With the added costs of owning a PC good enough to stream and being on a paid for network good enough to stream, which might not be available in a lot of the French countryside where a bicycle ride or a short trip on public transport is more affordable.

Another interesting problem slightly more interesting than a quine is writing an auto-cannibal machine (this was a homework assignment in my semester of 15-251 at CMU):

Write a function `ACM : (String -> a) -> a` aka a function that takes a string consumer as input (such as flip_upper_and_lower_cases: String -> String, or word-count String -> Int) and outputs the result of applying this transform to it's own source code.

For example if the contents of the ACM file were: `ACM(f) = print f("foo")` (note that this is clearly not a correct answer in any language)

`ACM(flip_upper_and_lower_cases)` invoked from another file should yield: 'acm(F) = PRINT F("FOO")'

I'm not much of a mystic myself, but there is something to be said for seeking inspiration from non-scientific sources.

"It is unfortunate that Waymo will be permitted to avoid abiding by the arbitration promise it requires its employees to make."

Yes, Labor included since they could have sped things up by having Fibre to the basement for most apartment buildings in the cities, and then upgraded those lines once the other build out had been completed. Also for having the rollout happen along political lines (as has been alleged).

Still most of the blame I assign to the Liberals, since it seems they want to make a shambles out of this for political reasons, and also so they can sell it to some other company in the near future.

If you don't need real time then why use improbable?

If you want to simulate a new bus route then run an offline simulation using whatever tools you like with as much complexity as you like.

In fact you'd likely want to run your simulation much faster than real time to answer specific questions quickly, like finding traffic or passenger hotspots.

I doubt you'd want to sit there watching virtual buses driving around a 3d city, but rather quickly see heat maps change as you play with parameters.

Consequently, all this ARM talk has got to be making Intel nervous. I don't think now would be the best time to buy any INTC stock. :/

Hold on there. Let's not dismiss it out of hand - bypassing the court system and getting things resolved quickly has benefits. And I suspect the arbitration system is itself a response to some judicial excesses and the insane American lawsuit-happy culture.

I'm not saying there aren't problems, and the judicial system should be there, but it's not bad if people solve their own problems without government involvement.

I read it as a statement that the problems faced by remote aboriginal communities are structural and obey institutional inertia; that they are hard problems.

We have a history of well-intentioned reformers coming in and making everything much worse: the stolen generation, the NTER, laws against alcohol consumption that cause even more destructive patterns of behaviour, etc. I've known men and women who trained as police, and went off to the NT rosy-cheeked idealists. All came back either depressed or outright racist. It's a hard problem.

Abusive parents create abused children, who grow up to be abusive parents themselves; the same is true of poverty. Abuse and poverty are grinding cycles that are very hard to disrupt. How do you teach a boy who's never met his father about the importance of being there for his own sons and daughters? How do you talk about the cycle without blaming or objectivising the human beings trapped within?

But then, maybe Bill Leak was just plain old racist, and I read a pattern in the noise.

I have a personal perspective on this. Around 2014 or so, I + some of Australia's top physicists designed and quickly prototyped some tech to lower the cost of the NBN rollout bigtime. Our approach revolved around self install fibre + a far greater use of wireless.

I contacted 15+ people in senior leadership at NBNco, all of whom are still on my LinkedIn. No matter how hard I tried, we couldn't get a meeting with NBNco execs to demo our tech.

I took it to the local tech press here to get some positive coverage and they told us repeatedly how "stupid" we were. We wrote comments on the now PM (then Communications Minister)'s blog and chatted to his people. Zero interest. At that point they'd been at it for ~7 years, spent billions and had pretty much nothing to show for it. Nada.

Last year, an academic completely unaffiliated with us testified at a parliamentary committee into why the existing approach has been such a boondoggle. As a remedy, he suggested our exact approach. He also copped it from the tech press.

Here are a couple tweets from that period between me and an online tech pundit. This Renai LeMay fellow runs Australia's most influential tech site, it's very very popular with Australia's politicians:
