This is far from true. Curbs are a huge issue for people who aren't totally able-bodied. You've really never seen a frail elderly person who is walking with the assistance of a cane or a walker struggle mightily with a curb? Not even your own grandparents or other aging relatives?

I read your comment to see why you were down voted. The first paragraph is fine. Although, as an Italian, I beg to differ. The Romans were quite capable of building roads that are walkable 2000 years later. Not all. But it is 2000 years.

Then I read the second one. Wow. You've internalized the "have bad infrastructure and get an SUV" mentality. We're not paving the world. We're paving a small part of our environment where people live. Yes strollers have stupid wheels. But having good infrastructure in a small area means I don't need a techno-distopian robot walking me everywhere.
With iOS 11 and watchOS 4, it feels like watchOS is taking aim for iOS, and iOS is taking aim for macOS. What’s Apple’s endgame here? The whole Mac Pro mini-crisis last year proved that professionals are a super loud minority, so they can’t flat out kill macOS.

I think they’ll just make iOS more and more attractive, while they make macOS more... iOS-like? And in turn, watchOS is an added benefit to iOS that macOS won’t fully utilize.

There’s some sort of uneasy tension here, I’ll be interested to see how it (slowly) develops.

I think I agree. Shell is very convenient, but it's just too easy to make mistakes.

I think something like eshell[0] or a shell based on sweet expressions[1] could go a long way towards providing a powerful shell in a real programming language — with safety against foot-guns like one finds in bash & zsh (the latter is still my default shell, despite its problems).

NJ Rules JavaScript Crypto Mining Illegal (2015)
AutoHotKey was already mentioned, which I use on windows. I have been looking for an alternative that I can also use on Linux and Mac OS and found SikuliX (http://www.sikulix.com/). Note that I have no idea if either AutoHotKey or SikuliX are actually capable of replicating the functionality of Keyboard Maestro since I've never used Keyboard Maestro.

Also recently I found a cross platform automation system written in go that looks promising: robotgo (https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo). I might try to use robotgo to replace the AutoHotKey scripts in my own little Unity3D command line tool unity_do (https://github.com/rakete/unity_do) in the future. So I don't have any experience with it yet.
Same here. We were seriously considering it, until the licensing issue.

In fact, we continue to use Reactjs - because it is something that we can rip out and replace if push comes to shove. But a React Native app once released will live in the wild - which means the patent exposure cannot be mitigated easily.

Light simulation isn't the issue, motion simulation is. Movement and model and texture complexity all have a long way to go.

FWIW I completely agree, and this is a key observation. DaVinci devoted several chapters to the problem of motion in art, and it will always be with us.

That said,

You're still ignoring the fact that realism in CG in increasing. There's a clear trend, and we are closing the gap on the details that make CG look unrealistic. The standards are higher now than last year, which was higher than the year before. Realism has always increased every year, and yet at no time was the increase due to a fundamental change in multiplying colors together.

This is the same argument that's always trotted out. Graphics are improving, but if you diff 2018 to 2013, it's nothing like 2013 to 2008. The fundamental leaps we've been accustomed to seeing are simply not happening anymore. The rate of progress is very clearly slowing down.

It depends which axis you measure, of course. We're able to render more things each year, which is nice. But the visual quality from a fundamental perspective is more or less the same as it was a few years ago.

The quality issues stem largely from light transport -- the colors are all wrong! If you compare them to a photo, you'll see that we don't end up remotely close. You can see this vividly in the YT link above (the Unreal engine walkthrough). If you try to picture yourself in the video, you'll get a strange feeling of being in a candy world, or a shrinkwrapped house.

That's certainly a promising axis to explore, and there are hundreds of papers published each year solely about light simulation.
Some places are so bizarrely designed, what were their city planners thinking? And I don't mean badly made sidewalks. I mean no sidewalks at all!

I suppose the car makers lobby really killed proper city planning in such places.
Note that your ring is not really representative of real tungsten carbide. WC is a sintered material so the amount of binder (cobalt) and the size and makeup of the WC powder is extremely important. Even among tungsten inserts there are types designed for continuous turning and types for interrupted turning, which have a much higher toughness.

Toughness is what determines energy before breaking and note that while many ceramics are not at all tough, high end technical ceramics are tougher than most metals[1]. High quality WC is indeed tougher than steels. It's also twice as strong as most steel, but high-end steels surpass it in strength.

That's a fallacy. If neither party is on your side, then voting third party is absolutely the correct decision. Both parties believe that a third part vote is a vote for their opposite number, but it really, genuinely isn't. Winner take all doesn't change that. Third party votes harm both major parties equally, by showing visibly a reduced voter confidence in them in the polls, and the only way to escape the deadlock is to erode their support over time.

If you're staunchly Democrat, and you vote that way in an overwhelmingly red state, is that also a wasted vote?
DuckDuckGo is great.

The problem is not that there are two parties, the problem is that there are two brands that most Americans have an unquestioning loyalty to, like a sports team. If the parties were strong, they would be able to use their influence to make legislation happen and govern effectively. This was how things used to work in the LBJ era. Powerful people in either party could get members with diverse opinions to vote to get things done. They could even offer favors to members of the opposing party and get them to come along. Bi-partisanship was always transactional. But because we oppose "deals" and favor ideological purity (on both sides) nothing gets done. Now the power is with donors, not parties.
Interestingly US initially had much lower person per representative ratio. If that ratio was maintained, we would have thousands of representatives in the House, and so would be more representative.
"You just need a ton of money to keep sidewalks in good order. "

No, you don't. You just need to make them properly the first time and keep people from planting trees where they don't belong.

Really? Sidewalks on every road is a big ask. There are a host of drainage issues that curbs/sidewalks create. It isnt as simple as laying down slabs of concrete. They need a base that is in some ways more demanding than that of the actual road.
> Frameworks don't rust.

Ah, the optimism of youth. Frameworks don't rust if you don't mind sticking with the security bugs of 10-year-old kernels. If you need to upgrade your OS, you need to upgrade your programming languages, which means you need to upgrade your frameworks.

Everything rusts pretty quickly. Maybe you don't need the new features, but you definitely need the new bugfixes.

I'm a single person and I don't go to the grocery store very frequently, and can still easily carry a week's worth of food back to my apartment using a backpack. If you're willing to use a cart (and a lot of people do use them for shopping) you can bring back even more.

I think the problem starts looming when you're trying to buy food for many people once a week. You either need all of those people to come with you to help bring back the food, a motorized vehicle, or a cargo bicycle.
So you're offloading the cost onto people who already can't afford much.

Do you think Roberto Ierusalimschy is confused about that ?

Again, here's what the creator of Lua says -- "… the distinguishing feature of interpreted languages is not that they are not compiled, but that any eventual compiler is part of the language runtime…"

EDIT:

Is that not what you mean by "interpreted language" ?
But it is not an actual search engine. We do not know the details of their agreements with the actual search engines they depend on.
I don't think it is that unrealistic. It seems that for 1), aftermarket radios are available for most cars and can utilize the speakers. There are various adapters available. For 2) I can imagine HDMI or DVI, if necessary with a more sturdy connector. Stock monitors have supported multiple resolutions for 20 years.
For 3), it seems there is information available to access this from CAN or LIN buses or ODB. Lots of hobbyists do this. I can imagine you could buy an adapter for, say, "Ford 2010-2014", like you can do with various aftermarket parts.

It might be a niche market, but so are all kinds of aftermarket mods for cars. And I think if somebody did to car stereos what Nest did to thermostats, it would be phenomenal.

Both prepositions can be true. Imagine a society where adults under 5'5" were called Shorties and had to wear green clothes all the time and greet people with "Halloo!" It would simultaneously be true that height is biologically determined, but being a Shortie would still be a social construct.
I've been using DuckDuckGo for about a year now. I would say it has complete parity with every search engine other than Google, and only seems to miss things when I do very specific searches.

I guess it depends on how you define simple. To me, React is far simpler than jQuery because of its declarative nature. It’s simple to reason about and easy to maintain and change. I would say it’s a much more straightforward tool than jQuery. However, advising them to delay state management (Redux, MobX) until needed is definitely a good idea.

Well, that's what happens when you move the problems from the server to the browser (routing, dynamic data, auth, etc). instead of focusing only on UI you are working on a complete application.

I like making SPAs, but there is really no need to do that. In many cases making an SPA is not even desirable.
Of course, but no one that I know of implied that it did. Any grown adult should know that if the price of gold/oz is stated as $X, or the market cap of the stock market is stated as $Y, that it doesn't mean if all of it was sold tomorrow it would generate X or Y amount of dollars.

The $8B figure for BCH is using the exact same semantics that every other non-cash asset in the entire world uses. But because it's crypto we get pedantry like this.

Well, that's taking it to an irrational extreme. You can cherry pick stuff like "There's no genetic code for liking lace bras and makeup," but there is most likely code that's about adorning and beautifying yourself as a woman. Or code about being attracted to the aesthetic of beauty and beautification thus having a favorite color or color palette, thus the fashion industry standardizing on a handful of palettes considered feminine. Even if the colors are arbitary, just the concept of acceptable and fashionable colors, per season, per fad, etc is highly feminine. Men, often, can wear any color in any season and not have it bother them or have other men criticize them for it. Nor have women consider it unattractive.

IIRC the A1 actually ditched the tungsten core, it's a "lead free" round not AP, the M855 was supposed to be an "environmental friendly" round the tungsten isn't a penetrator really it's some sort of composite matrix but after studies showed that Tungsten is just as bad an even worse than lead as far as the environment goes they've redesigned the round.

The M855A1 is also lighter than the M855 so if my memory serves me correctly they've switched to a mild steel core.

The M955 does use a tungsten carbide penetrator and is classified as an AP round but the usual "green tip" (or well just "green" ammo now since the A1 doesn't have a tip color) ammo that is in use uses steel penetrators for the most part.

Bitcoin is seen by many to replace Gold as a "safe haven" asset. Gold is also volatile and you'll have problems buying goods with it but it's been trusted for centuries. There's some demand but it mostly appealed because of its scarcity.

It bitcoin wants to be the same it doesn't need to be accepted as payment. It only needs to be scarce (which it is) and be immune to manipulation by states (which it appears to be).

To be clear, I'm not saying that this means bitcoin will be popular but it ticks some boxes. If enough people trust it, it could have long term success even if no one accepts it as payment. Being banned by some regimes could even help its reputation there.

It's almost always chosen for density in scifi- most early railguns used tungsten because the density means you can have a very small cross section per unit mass, meaning low wind resistance which is important at super and hypervelocity. Of course it's irrelevant in space, but it carried over to sci-fi anyway.

Yes, we regret it. Our app is just a wrapper around a webview, and handles things like in-app payments and SDK integrations like Facebook login, in a team of ~10.

Our version of React Native is quite far behind which makes using libraries not already in the project difficult: you have to track back through versions to find a compatible version, which then may not be doing what you want since it's an older version.

We're also having trouble upgrading the version of React Native due to versions having breaking changes. I know it's technically still not v1.0, but in reality a lot of companies are using it so having a stable version would be nice. Since it's unstable, many libraries haven't updated to compensate so you run into the same problem as above, tracking down precise versions of dependencies which also still do what you want.

The build process feels pretty rickety and seems to rely on a lot of global state - I spent a while checking how we could update dependencies, but when I rolled back to a stable version I was unable to build even after re-installing node modules etc. I was only able to fix it after opening Xcode, removing all pod libraries and re-adding them; I have no idea why that worked, and there are very few clues on Github or Stack Overflow as to what specific errors mean. Fixing my build step took the best part of a day.

Overall, for a small app like ours, we're just spending far too long on non-development overhead, like fixing build systems or checking dependency versions, and will probably move to native versions at some point in the future. It may be a pain maintaining two separate versions, but we'll have solid integrations with payment gateways and lots of documentation and info on Github/SO for problems.

I like React and the idea of React Native, but at the moment it just feels far too unstable and unpolished to use. I'd like to use it in the future, but probably not until it's had a major version release.

> Assuming you could get a pair of working ovaries with male chromosomes... what would happen?

I imagine it would produce about half X-ovums and half Y-ovums. X-ovums should be normal, Y-ovums might not be viable at all.

If they were, Y-spermatozoons could probably not fertilise them, or in any case it would fail rather fast without developing into a viable embryo. X-spermatozoons could fertilise them to produce male embryos.

Producing working ovaries with male chromosomes is the most unlikely step, but otherwise it seems like it should work provided the biological machinery is there to support pregnancy.
I love this idea, and also its acknowledgement of prior time maps for rail and other psychogeographic forebears. Its ability to put in relevant data in rational time-based space stops some of those issues that make us take a longer or particular direction because of habit, fear, or misunderstanding of the timespace about us. Nonetheless as a map-lover, I'd love to see how more contextual information could be added for serendipitous and geographical observation.
