In that case not sure what their excuse is but my point still holds true: Their sites are almost universally godawful and they're demonstrably not able to be trusted with the full feature set of the web. AMP provides some sanity including things like hard limits on the size of CSS.
Dunno why you're being downvoted - as a kid I was an avid reader. I could not read on our long car trips to visit relatives - instant nausea.
I agree. So far my grocery experience with Amazon has been awful. Two items were returned by the shipper due to damage before they even got to my house. Another was crushed when it got to my house because Amazon's packaging was terrible. They kept trying to give me a refund instead of a replacement and all I could say was "I ordered this food because I wanted to buy it and eat it, why would I just want my money back?". So if that's how they manage to run Whole Foods, then I guess I'm all-in on Trader Joe's.

This is typically the case because the taxes tend to be high in such countries - thus the company compensates by offering a lower salary.
s/ungrateful/unappreciative/. You could say that some don't appreciate the changes that the region has gone through. Gratitude is a term you would use for things like gifts. You can, however, appreciate a good business relationship.

The colonies bit you wrote was out of place. It sounds like you're saying "either be a colony, or get out".

Calling the refusal to take in so-called refugees racist is inappropriate. I think you should do yourself the favor and delve into that subject a bit more instead of passively accepting certain ignorant narratives. The migrant crisis is a huge stain on Merkel's record, a demonstration of massive incompetence and blindness. Most migrants weren't even from Syria or affected areas. Also, note that no one seemed to notice how countries like Poland took in more than 1 million refugees from Ukraine following Russia's invasion of the country. Germany took in practically no one.

W.r.t. solidarity, Germany has a spotty record where solidarity is concerned. Consider how Germany has refused the building of Nordstream gas pipelines through central/eastern Europe from Russia, instead opting to have them run through the Baltic at greater expense. This allows Russia to cut gas supplies to central/eastern Europe without affecting Germany. Russia, as we have seen time and again, does not hesitate to use energy supplies as a tool of political pressure.

I think that while central/eastern Europe should recognize the massive changes their markets have undergone, it does not negate the other realities that are at play.
In my market Wegmans came in and demonstrated higher quality and better pricing. I'll give Wegmans my business first.
Speaking as someone who grew up without cable in the 90s, there was a ton of great content in that era and the quality took a huge hit in the 2000s and later.

We had shows like X-Men which tackled issues like racism and prejudice, Captain Planet which tackled pollution and environmental stewardship, shows like Gargoyles that introduced mythology and Shakespeare and treated kids like intelligent human beings, Animaniacs which introduced a generation to the Vaudeville tradition of humor, The Magic School Bus which taught children all sorts of facts about the world, etc.

I could honestly go on and on but there was just a ton of great content for kids in the 90s (on network television alone!).

C++ uses `==` for whatever you want. But generally in C++, user-defined types will be documented as either having 'reference semantics' or 'value semantics' and all aspects of the type will conform to that.

>from where they're sourcing the food

Completely off topic, but do you naturally avoid ending sentences with prepositions, or do you edit your sentences when you realize you've done it? Like many people, I was taught in school not to do that, but the lesson never stuck because I really don't care enough. However, I can easily see when myself or others have ended with a preposition or (more notably) when they avoided it like you did.

It's one of those things that stands out to me as a language nerd. It's something that I want to not care about, but deep inside I'm super conflicted on.
The RPG that never was
I don't believe Amazon has a public customer service phone number where you can speak with a human.
The first $1 is easy.... If you're struggling to attract a single customer you seriously need to re-evaluate what you're doing. As mentioned earlier in the comments; doubling from MRR from $40,000 to $80,000 is a way bigger challenge than making that first buck.
They generally don't maintain the software. Things like manual pages and architecture porting can be pushed upstream, and are fine to maintain as diffs if not; buildsystem changes are usually hard, and maintaining that as a delta makes it hard to incorporate new versions.

(One of the packages I maintain in Debian is apparently dead upstream as of the last year or so, but even so I'm not very interested in becoming the new upstream and adopting big changes like a new build system.)

Comparison by value tends to be more useful, and more often what a user expects "==" to mean. In some ways, "==" mirrors the mathematical =. (Not exactly, of course, since mathematics is usually making statements of fact: x = 2 means x is equal to 2, not x is assigned the value 2.)

I think Python is a good example here, where referential comparison is the `is` operator: `a is b`.
I haven't looked into it, but I've heard it claimed a lot (including by the president)... does Bezos really retain editorial control over the paper? I'll admit I don't really know how newspapers work, but I feel like if there was an internal memo that said "Hey I'm Jeff, don't write bad shit about my other companies" someone would have leaked it by now.

Does Bezos actually control the messaging coming from The Washington Post?

Speculation, but I suspect the down vote is due to the first sentence "Do they not get car sick from reading books while driving?" It assumes that that everyone gets sick as they do, and doesn't give their parent the benefit of the doubt that what they commented was wholly accurate.

I agree with you.

But I believe that solving this kind of challenges forces one in a good way to know more about what the language has to offer, while keeping motivated to learn its constructs before being able to create real apps.

The goal is practicing a new language.
How do you know where I live? Not that it matters but I moved to Seattle in 2011 and I have lived and worked in both Bellevue and Seattle.

ST is fixating on one aspect of Amazon's impact to the city of Seattle to advance their desired narrative. They use a hyperbolic headline to perpetuate a negative image of Amazon then correlate office space with economic contribution. Nothing in the article convinces me that Amazon has turned Seattle into a "company town'.

You response to my post was literally (emphasis mine):

> I agree. But they're not at all part of the city.

My point is that Belleuve and the rest of the eastside is much more closely related to Seattle than a place like Everett or Tacoma and so a conversation about office space should acknowledge that. People and companies are mobile between the eastside and Seattle much more than they are to the north and south. This is relevant in a conversation about office space, even if you are evaluating it from a position of what's best for Seattle itself.

Agreed. There's a serious problem of information density in content these days. Most publisher-driven content is almost intentionally sparse. It takes tremendous expertise to weld information with context in a way that doesn't feel hollow and commercial.

Two books I've come across recently that do well to circumvent that problem: Sapiens by Yuval Harari and Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann. In both cases, you get a sense of the author distilling a lifetime's worth of knowledge and expertise into a form that seems hopelessly condensed, and in fact provokes you into further study. That's the mark of excellent exposition in my opinion.
I know who I am! I'm a dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude!

Just a nit though on your last one: Amazon bought Whole Foods, not Bezos, so that's "run by" or something.
When I was growing up, I used to read quite a lot. I wasn't allowed to bring my book to the dinner table - no matter how suspenseful the chapter or how fascinating the subject. Of course my childhood wasn't perfect; every night wasn't a talkative social family dinner. I appreciated the rule even back then, though I wanted to read my book it was easy to see that me doing so was taking something away from the other people at the table. A little intangible, but quite clear.

I can't help but wonder if in the many countries & cultures, and across many generations, what various expectations there are for family time together, and what challenges and barriers were in the way. "No lens polishing at the dinner table!" might have been said to some young astronomer hundreds of years ago.

Mobile phones are a great source of information (something I've been fascinated with my whole life), but sometimes seem to replace rather than supplement social interactions. While I can see why people would want a "tech free dinner", I've also had the joy of a "facetime dinner" with friend's grandchildren who live far away. It was a wonderful and natural thing for the child involved, because it added to the social harmony, rather than isolating parts of it.

The approach is actually learn enough about the language (through docs or a book) and practice such knowledge solving code challenges and writing your on tests first to get exposed for a more real environment.
"What are you measuring? The current autopilot already appears to be materially safer, in certain circumstances, than human drivers [1]. It seems probable Level 2 systems will be better still."

As far as I know it is indeed correct that autopilot safety is statistically higher than manual driving safety (albeit with a small sample size).

However, something has always bothered me about that comparison ...

Is it fair to compare a manually driven accidental death (like ice, or wildlife collision) with an autopilot death that involves a trivial driving scenario that any human would have no trouble with ?

I don't know the answer - I'm torn.

Somehow those seem like apples and oranges, though ... as if dying in a mundane (but computer-confusing) situation is somehow inexcusable in a way that an "actual accident" is not.

>This kind of rapid-slowing situation in tight-fast traffic will likely even get out of hand even for automated cars, unless there is car-to-car communication. This is because of the slight delay for each successive slowing car in the accordion-effect accumulates to the point where eventually the required reaction time decreases and required deceleration rate increases past the performance envelope. At that point, a crash is inevitable.

Is this really true?

It seems like, as long as the following delay between cars is greater than that reaction delay, there should be no such "accordion effect."
Alexia Massalin’s 1992 PhD thesis describing the Synthesis Operating System.

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.29.4871&rep=rep1&type=pdf

Here's Valerie Aurora’s description of Synthesis:

... a completely lock-free operating system optimized using run-time code generation, written from scratch in assembly running on a homemade two-CPU SMP with a two-word compare-and-swap instruction — you know, nothing fancy.

Which (necessarily) undersells by a very large margin just how impressive, innovative, and interesting this thesis is.

If you’re interested in operating systems, or compilers, or concurrency, or data structures, or real-time programming, or benchmarking, or optimization, you should read this thesis. Twenty-five years after it was published, it still provides a wealth of general inspiration and specific food for thought. It’s also clearly and elegantly written. And, as a final bonus, it’s a snapshot from an era in which Sony made workstations and shipped its own, proprietary, version of Unix. Good times.

This is consumer product with a really low profit margin, which means he'll need a lot more than 100 customers paying $1 each to have a sustainable business. At $1, the product might as well be free. Imagine if this article was retitled "What actually goes into getting your first user." Would anyone care then?

Regardless, it would be much more interesting to hear why the customer took out their credit card and entered their payment information. Unfortunately, that's not what this article is about.
Synapse's readme does try to spell out that it requires at least 2GB of RAM and a recent CPU. It is absolutely resource heavy, but not showstoppingly so in general. The comparison with XMPP is dubious as the protocols are completely different: it's like comparing a local filesystem with a distributed database and complaining that the DB is slower.

That said, Dendrite should improve things a lot; we should have more stats in the near future but it seems to idle around 150MB of RAM and should run much better on ancient hardware. We are not bothering optimising synapse much further in favour of focusing on finishing Dendrite. Needless to say, we expect Dendrite to be finished well in time for the Librem 5 to go live, 18 months from now!

Only tangentially related, but David Hume and Benjamin Franklin were close friends. Franklin has always stuck me as a very modern thinker for his time, too. I'd long admired both Hume and Franklin, but didn't realize they were close friends until I dug in and read a Franklin biography a few years back.

Franklin actually stayed with Hume in Edinburgh for a while. I'm sure the Philadeplhia to London to Edinburgh trek was a tad more involved in the 1700s than it is today. :)

> Well, unless you belong to the minority of people on this forum with no assets in the stock market whatsoever (either directly or indirectly via a bank account, pension fund, etc), you are part of the system that profits off corporate activity. The only exception is if you traced your holdings in such companies (Wells Fargo is the example given here) and where they are getting used to within reasonable limits (some activity may not be disclosed to you as a member of the public for instance), and divested from all of them. A priori, I would find such a situation highly unlikely.

As appealing as it is to just use Vanguard index funds for my retirement account and be done with it, I have so far resisted the urge to do that for this reason. If I don't want a company to exist, I don't want to own that company, even if it only makes up 0.05% of my money. I think cheap, broad, cap-weighted index funds are the best way to invest in stocks, but I want the ability to exclude stocks of companies I find unethical.

There's an opportunity for a roboadvisor to replace all index ETFs with directly-replicated indexes. Vanguard TSM has around 3500 stocks and the international index also has thousands. I'm sure it was impractical and not cost-effective a few decades ago to buy thousands of stocks in fractional units for each customer account, but I think the large roboadvisors could pull it off today: they have scale, automation, and the ability to aggregate and batch all customer trades daily (minimizing trading costs). Wealthfront's direct indexing is a good start, but it's only for US large-cap stocks, and the lack of support for fractional shares means a 6-figure minimum account balance and potentially meaningful tracking error.
There is a continuous ring of ocean the whole way around Antarctica. That water can build up a lot of momentum as it is pulled around the Earth by tidal forces. At least, that's what the captain told me, I'm sure there are meteorologists around here with a much deeper understanding.
