The key is this: Substances such as LSD, psilocybin or DMT can put the brain into a special mode of functioning which can in turn enable capacities which can be described as "psychic" in certain circumstances (this is also linked to the "mystical experience" which is often mentioned by users). These experiences make people aware of the fact that there is a whole invisible world (or spiritual dimension) which has nothing to do with our material experience. This understanding leads to a much higher degree of freedom for the person experiencing all of this. For obvious reasons, such a person can be much less manipulated by negative emotions such as greed, hatred and fear. It leads to less war and less consumerism. But both of these components make up big parts of the US economy, which represents a small percentage of very wealthy people who are afraid of losing their dominance. This is probably the most important reason why these substances which have so much potential have been suppressed for so long, without real and valid justification.
Wait what? I specifically said I could find only one example which was under Trump and the nominee was ultimately accepted. I also quoted Schumer and the Democrats saying this was without precedent. I’m really not sure what you’re getting at here.

Please don’t ignore my response as well as my request for any examples and then tell me an article I cited says something it doesn’t.
If you define unit tests as tests which test non-divisible units on a low level, then by definition they are a form of tight coupling.

The most loosely coupled form of test would be an end to end test (most loosely coupled, but obviously not without its disadvantages).

Since the pain of dealing with one form of tight coupling is magnified by having another form present, the presence of unit tests act as a sort of canary in the coalmine: if your unit tests are extra painful today, that's probably because the part they are connecting with has a high degree of tight coupling. That might (or might not) lead you to refactor and decouple the rest of the code base in an attempt to mute that pain. Either way you'll feel the pain.

I believe this effect is real. I also don't do this myself, because I don't believe in self flagellation as a means to enlightenment. The best thing to couple your tests to depends upon a range of factors, IMHO, and getting religious about where to couple anything is the worst thing you could do, especially if that religion dictates tight coupling (unit testing all the things).

Method length and complexity probably go up because if you focus on loose coupling (to mute the "unit testing pain") to the exclusion of other good code qualities - less code/less complex code - then those qualities will be sacrificed.

First of all, that's not a podcast. Second of all, the quality of the TTS engine seems to be on par with the Microsoft TTS bundled with Windows.
Back in the day commuters and bench-sitters weren't somehow more "present" than they are now, they were just consuming other media. And I wouldn't venerate the books/newspapers of old and sneer at IG quite so much. Back in the day the majority of commuters were reading pulpy crime and romance novels or sordid tabloids, not "real" literature or journalism.

It's not that IG is intellectually inferior to how people entertained themselves back in the day, it's that it's qualitatively different, in some disturbing ways. What used to be shameless (innocent!) diversion and escapism has morphed into an odd kind of media that requires everyone to produce content, content that everyone knows in their bones, one way or another, broadcasts the quality of their lives and their person into the ether. Creating such content is arguably more intellectually demanding than consuming that crime novel, not less, but it's also exhausting and anxiety producing. The commute or checkout line is no longer a quick and simple respite.

I don't think social media is making people dumb or brainless as people thought tv would back in the day. Rather, it's making the average person smarter in a very 21st century kind of way - savvy, harried, and insecure - overworked brand managers.

I never thought I'd read a TechCrunch article which puts into question the integrity of the entire capitalist system...

This is very different from the typical capitalist rhetoric that if you're smart and work hard in ways that benefit society, you'll be personally rewarded. Now it seems that the conditions for success are extremely ambiguous.

Bankruptcy is essentially a hack on the system and to now pretend that it's a normal part of an efficient capitalist society is quite outrageous.

If it were real capitalism, there would be no bankruptcy, you'd have to work to pay back every penny for the rest of your life. I'd prefer that. Because otherwise you're just encouraging people to take risks using other people's money.

Oustanding progress usually comes from individuals, not from outstanding groups. Consider Newton, Archimedes, da Vinci, Jesus Christ, Luther, Gutenberg, Mozart, Einstein, Zuse, Edison, and others. They changed the world.

Unfortunately, there is also evil genius (in wickedness) of individuals [1]: Jack the Ripper, Hitler, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hussein, etc.

[1] https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-all-time-worst-p...

Groups are usually always mediocre since there are not many geniuses. It explains why systems of extreme group thinking like Communism never work out.

It is interesting that even outstanding things created by comittee - Ada for instance - are barely successful while inventions of individuals - Wirth's Pascal, Kernighan's C and von Rossum's Python for instance -- were/are widely successful.

Isn't that a made-up distinction though?

Product manuals (including software product manuals) almost always do. They don't just enumerate features and flags.
Tesla didn't contract them to make TesLab.

A counter argument is that tesla is a conventional business that is packaged by Elon musks masterful salesmanship as a one of a kind company where normal rules don't apply. At my old company Martin shkreli pitched to us a few times, and Elon uses some similar reality distortion tricks to excite investors.

For tesla, that is necessary, because no rational investor would invest in an electric car startup. But if you can get investors excited enough about some vague but very promising future, they will overlook short term failures and be guided less by fact than belief

The US ban on supersonic overflight killed supersonic travel, and therefore Concorde. 1960s tech was only able to build planes that could go about 3500 nm, and a huge proportion of flights in that range at that time was transcontinental flights across North America. The cancellation of all American operator orders made the project impossible to break even.

The fuel costs were nasty, but not the end of the world. The existence of first class travel shows that there’s a market for expensive, inefficient long haul flights. If supersonic passenger flight had been able to survive American protectionism, it would have avoided missing out on the last 50 years of R&D, so SSTs today would have gotten much more efficient, just like today’s sub sonic jets have become.

"Tesla is not a conventional business. "

Tesla is a car and battery manufacturer. That's a very conventional business.
Tesla looks like Elon's attempt at running a high-stakes Amazon-for-batteries type business where they invest all they get into the business and get massive adoption in the long run. Except for a much much more capital intensive industry, and where so far more than a couple of things have gone wrong.

At the moment they're in a very tough spot where they've issued bonds, folded Solar City into Tesla in a weird attempt at bad accounting and pretended like (already 3) new product lines were ready to take in pre-order money. Meanwhile they're using excess battery production capacity not being used for cars (which are stuck in slow production lines) for a quick (small) buck in Australia and Puerto Rico.

I think we're going to see either a secondary offer or new bonds being issued soon.
Nothing this active. I'd love to know if there are more hotspots like this one.
> Facebook role in these problems is only incidental. If there was no Facebook, we'd have the same growing fake news, astroturfing and bot problem

You don't know this. A major flaw of Facebook is that the CEO thinks his users are "dumb fucks", and who is hell-bent on growth without checks, who is a morality that does not include personal privacy or seemingly any human emotion for his users who made him rich. He has refused to acknowledge the problems on his platform that led to the issues with fake news today.

Perhaps a different company, run by a different person or group of people, will be less intentionally vile and evil.
I think another contender here would be OCaml/Reason, which has both JavaScript and WebAsm targeting, is used in systems space (eg Mirage). Its a bit different in technical choices (functional, GC, for example). Facebook is using Reason for Messenger for example, on mobile.
> The selling point of lisp is macros, and macros alone.

That's a fairly bold claim.
The plan for emscripten is actually to replace its own wasm compiler with LLVM, and possibly drop its asm.js compiler in favor of running wasm2asm on LLVM's wasm output: https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/5827

Aside from keeping emscripten's code smaller / more maintainable and allowing the team to focus more on its role as high-level tooling, this should improve the size and performance of emscripten output since IIRC it's currently missing out on a lot of optimization opportunity by producing wasm as transpiled asm.js.
> It is more of an edge case where you have to put your thinking hat to make sense of it.

It is far too simplistic to imply that those that are a bit bearish on Tesla's prospects are simply not "wearing their thinking caps".

In the end, you can't discount what 'business people' think, because they're the ones on the other end of the table.

> Is there anything wrong with macOS

Yes. It has probably the worst UI of any desktop OS. The window management sucks, the global menu is stupid and annoying and the file management sucks. Trying to operate the OS with just a keyboard is absurdly difficult. They don't give you any options to work the way that you want, they only give you one option to work the way Apple wants. You're also severely limited in hardware choice. Just about everything is wrong with the Macintosh Operating System IMO.
Tesla is not a production company yet. Tesla is a promise of what it can be. The promise is that it can be one of the biggest, greatest and most important companies in the world, sometimes in the future. The current job of Tesla is not to start producing tons of cash, it is to maintain the faith that the promise will be fulfilled.

The faith is maintained in few ways:

- by constantly kicking ass technologically -- improving the products way outside of what competitors believed was even possible,

- by iterating crazy fast on their ideas -- something that conventional car companies will not be able to do. They won't be able to do because they would have to replace most of their management with people that are suited to this pace of change. Conventional car companies may flex muscles, but all their money will not be enough because the biggest problem doesn't lie in having the funds but in people. Funds are easy once you show you can do it, but getting the right people is much more difficult once you have large and established business.

- by showing they can maintain exponential growth until they are dominant force in the market.
It also is more safe because there is only 1 obvious choice when you are the car behind the one trying to merge: slow down and let him in. Otherwise the car has nowhere else to go.

I would have said "and SolarCity" but of course Tesla owns SolarCity now.

It's really quite genius to build a really expensive solar roof tile when the tax breaks are for solar installations. Find a way to charge a premium price for a premium product (eg, a tile, not just a simple panel), get tax breaks for it all!
I love Tesla cars. There is no way I would own the stock.

Tesla would be better off if they designed cars and let someone else manufacturer them.
> Rust is great for the embedded space

Honestly, I would disagree here, unless we're talking in terms of potential, rather than actual ability right now. There's certainly some level of support, but I really did not get the feeling that Rust was 'great' for embedded, rather that it could be.
I really want to switch back to FF, especially because of the containers extension, but on macOS (i7 + 16gb ram) the fan spins like crazy and the overall feeling is that it is definitely slower than Chrome. Does anyone else have this experience?
Perfect pitch is very common, can be developed by training. My daughter said once she was the only one in their class who didn't have perfect pitch (she was on music program at university). Musicians don't agree whether perfect pitch is necessary, or even whether it's beneficial. What you do need is 'absolute relative pitch' - the ability to identify intervals. I don't have perfect pitch, but I can play any melody from the first listen right away, transposed into key of F major (or G minor for minor keys). I just know these keys very well. The secret of learning how to play by ear is: transpose everything into the same key, and play it there. Never try to master all keys - it's impossible (very few people, even among world-class musicians, can play in all keys equally well). (I'm speaking about piano. On other instruments, the situation can be different).
Judging by the picture on the main page, I thought it would be about them overheating and catching fire...

Until Intel released its Puma 6 chip Broadcom dominated the modem chip market. The Broadcom chip does not have latency or jitter issues.

As much as I hate them, Broadcom dominates the market because (as long as you don't ask for source code or Linux or datasheets...) their modems and other networking devices generally work. I'm guessing the cause of this jitter is because Intel is trying to do more in software vs. the dedicated hardware Broadcom uses.

The DoS on the "Security Issues" page is even more unusual, unless these modems are actually more than just modems and include a router/NAT too?
Yeah really no need to study this. There's "anecdotal" and then there's "this happens to 80% of people and we have cute euphemisms for when you excuse yourself" and that to me is as good as the most rigorous of studies. Now uhh, excuse me, back in a sec.

From a quick look at their balance sheet, in the past year their total assets have increased from $12 billion to $28 billion, and debt from $2 billion to $9 billion, for an increase in net assets of $9 billion. Cash flow is fine too; total cash is up almost half a billion over the past year, for a total of $3.5B.

Looking at their cash flow statement, they are spending a lot but mostly on capital expenditures.

I don't see any reason to even think about bankruptcy. They're doing fine.

This is so true and something that is confused all the time by “free speech advocates”. It’s quite frustrating actually.

I’m not happy about the amplification of speech that social networks offer, but l’m even more unhappy about the attitude of “smart” techies who shrug their shoulders and say “free speech - cant do anything about that”.

We can do something about that, but that would mean solving hard problems and not creating another way to type a few hundred words into a text box.
You can jump to it by typing /EXAMPLES<enter>

They aren't all under 1KB, but there a few repos on GitHub hosting all of the Font Awesome icons as SVG.

Also, if you can avoid it, don't use <img src… to display SVG images, as the article suggests. By using <svg… directly, you avoid extra requests, you gain the ability to manipulate them directly in the DOM, and to restyle them.

Perhaps it's my OCD, but a Lisp with uppercase namespaces, etc. just rubs me the wrong way.
when I saw the headline, I immediately did a google search to confirm if Tesla actually went bankrupt. Obv. it didn't. Occasionally, companies go bankrupt overnight, with little forewarning. One such example is Gtat, which filed bankruptcy overnight after disclosing the loss of an Apple contract. I'm amazed the editors would allow such a headline considering the potential seriousness of making misleading statements about public companies, where billions of dollars are at stake.

What If put up a headline "company X is bankrupt" and then the article continues "bankrupt in ethics..gotcha"
I've caught myself before sometimes being more careless with the downvote button if the comment was already grayed out. After I realized this risk, I now attempt to be more mindful.

> but I really did not get the feeling that Rust was 'great' for embedded, rather that it could be.

My experience is very limited here, but I have used TockOS on one of their dev boards. That was very pleasant, no stdlib makes it a little harder than std Rust, but still felt more deterministic than writing in C.
As a Python programmer, I would consider code which shadows the names of built-ins to be poorly written although it's permissible in small scopes (e.g., a single block).

OTOH, for extending / wrapping there is a builtins module, which I think is what you suggest: https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html#module-built...
