As you can see in the article, it already exists in Canada. Some engineering schools like École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) offers a 4 year Software Engineering program that enable you to become a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec. It's a self-regulatory body that governs Quebec's professional engineers. There is a ceremony where they give you an iron ring, mostly to remind you to be humble and to always consider the public interest first when making decisions. Can software engineers become P.E. in the U.S ?
At least in my country, the amounts spent on gas monthly hasn't really been dropping, even as cars become more efficient.

I'm not familiar with this area, but I think that in the US retail gasoline prices (that is, including all taxes) have been historically flat. This means that efficiency gains fairly directly to lower operating costs, and hence result in greater demand: "In constant dollar terms, the price of gasoline in 2015 was only seven cents higher than in 1929."

https://energy.gov/eere/vehicles/fact-915-march-7-2016-avera...

I don't think that fuel taxes have increased much on a constant-dollar per-gallon basis. Considering inflation, the federal rate has in fact dropped significantly: "Since 1993, the US federal gasoline tax has been 18.4¢/gal (4.86¢/L)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_taxes_in_the_United_State...

I don't know how the state rates have changed (they are of the same magnitude as the federal rate, ranging from 20-40¢/gal) but my guess would be that they too are historically fairly constant per gallon over the recent decades of efficiency improvements, resulting in an inflation adjusted decrease in the proportion of tax being paid.

You claimed "There's absolutely no evidence that formal methods approaches are effective in practice." and said the only real use was for compilers. I pointed out that they are effective in practice in domains completely unrelated to compilers. Your response is to bring up a totally different point ("more effective than other approaches" — a statement that can't even be falsified), talk mumbo about "culture", and point to Clojure talks, which is neither here nor there. In short, you are perfectly suited for "conversations" on the Web.

> But if you get to any Chinese over 60, they still remember the chaotic cultural revolution very clearly, they definitely don’t want a return to strongman cult of personality Maoism where Xi seems to be going.

It's interesting that to note that Xi Jinping is from that exact same generation, and both he and his family were persecuted during the Cultural Revolution:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/25/world/asia/xi-jinping-chi...:

> When the pandemonium of the Cultural Revolution erupted, he was a slight, softly spoken 13-year-old who loved classical Chinese poetry. Two years later, adrift in a city torn apart by warring Red Guards, Xi Jinping had hardened into a combative street survivor.

> His father, a senior Communist Party official who had been purged a few years earlier, was seized and repeatedly beaten. Student militants ransacked his family’s home, forcing the family to flee, and one of his sisters died in the mayhem. Paraded before a crowd as an enemy of the revolution and denounced by his own mother, the future president of China was on the edge of being thrown into a prison for delinquent children of the party elite.

> ...

> Unlike some youths from elite backgrounds, Mr. Xi did not turn against the party or Mao, but learned to revere strict order and abhor challenges to hierarchy, said Yongyi Song, a historian and librarian in Los Angeles who has long studied the Cultural Revolution.

> “He suffered much under Mao,” Mr. Song said, “but I think that actually increased his belief that those who are ‘born red,’ those children of the party elite, earned the right to inherit Mao’s place at the center.”

Here's a short biography of Xi by the NYT:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/26/world/asia/xi-jinping-car...

> Xi is the last vestige of Maoism, the last president who grew up under Mao’s shadow. The next generation of leadership is surely going to be much more modern than any before it.

Experts were saying that China was slowly but steadily marching on the path to liberalization, but now we have Xi and that that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I fear those predictions, like yours, are fallacious and overoptimistic.

LED lights and electric furnaces going out of vogue.

Electric vehicles, end of Moore's law means CPU racks giving off waste heat will hold value long enough to invest in them.
A Ryzen "7" series APU with the same 4 core / 8 thread setup as the 2400G but with double the CUs (so 22 CU) and a big beefy L4 buffer like Intel uses in their high end GPUs to be able to use the extra gpu horsepower would be game changing.

Maybe in the Navi generation? It would make for a very pretty lineup to have, say, Navi 10 / 14 / 24 be APUs, Navi 36 / 44 be a budget discrete GPU pair, have Navi 56 / 64 be shrunk Vega cards, and then some high end 2080 Ti competitor series of new cards called Navi 80 / 88[1]. If they can get power under control and have the TDPs like up like 45 / 65 / 95 / 120 / 150 / 170 / 200 / 210 / 250 watts they could have a really viable lineup no matter what Nvidia pulls...

[1] Having a GPU called the 88 would just be marketing bliss. "When we get this thing up to 88 compute units you are going to see some serious shit".

If inflation gets too high, the government needs to find a way to take money out of the system, and raising interest rates can help to do that. Raising taxes can, too.

Right, a coefficient of performance (COP) of 1 is equal to 100% efficiency. A heat pump typically exceeds that, so your COP 2 heat pump is 200% efficient (useful heat divided by work required). If an electrical joule cost the same as a natural gas joule, the heat pump would definitely be more economical; but in real life it's not so straightforward.

> Yes but it means that much of Dart was designed around the limitations inherent in JS, which means you get stupid stuff like the int primitive being: "Integer values, which generally should be in the range -2^53 to 2^53"

As your own reference notes, Dart ints are defined as arbitrary precision, but dart2js uses js numbers (IEEE 754 doubles), so it's outside the listed range are problematic with code thst might be deployed via dart2js; it has no issues on Dart VM.

> Or a completely lack of parallelism

Dart’s concurrency model offers shared-nothing parallelism on Dart VM; it doesn't have shared-memory parallelism, which is limiting for some used, but it's not a complete lack of parallelism.
The reason is Lorentz transformation:

Your measurement of time and space will always adjust to ensure light travels at a constant speed.

Time dilates, length contracts. So perhaps it would "look" like the car travelled a smaller distance over a longer period of time that what you expected, from your frame of reference, versus a third observer who can see you both.

A Knowledge/Note based system is very useful for teams.

On my own personal project where I have a team of 8 I tried Gitbook but when I lost a bunch of stuff do with git pull that override my local changes I really disliked Gitbook.

I convinced my work to get on Confluence so we at least have a knowledge base. I find Confluence like all Atlassian products clunky, slow and cumbersome to navigate.

I really liked Backpack, however its dated and structuralized for an older workflow.

I look at Slite and think, does it handle code blocks well? Is it navigation easy and feels fast? How clunky is the rich text editor?

I personally don't like the look, the open source outline looks more professional. I would have borrow design elements from Discord than Slack.

To me this is a gimmick of piggybacking on the familiarity of slack channels to take something that has already existed (collaborative note and note-like apps). An old tool for a new generation.

Since I've built my open-source HTML5 game in Electron I feel I could whip up my own note-taking app because my feeling is I'm not going to be sold on either Outline or Slite.

I went to connect with my Google Account As soon as Slite asked to view my Contacts, I stopped. Its like asking to see someone's facebook on a first date. No Thank you.

So I go and check Outline, since its open-source but you have to have a slack account and create a Slack App, No Thank you.

I guess I should build my own.

these are cool and all, but the very low quantities that embedded boards are made in frequently make them much more expensive than going with something of a standard size/spec (170x170mm mini-itx, of which there are a ton of good Z370 chipset motherboards), and a discrete GPU like a $115 geforce1050 2GB. Unless you really need four video outputs off one board.

There's a really wide selection of sizes and shapes of mini-itx chassis available whether you need passive cooling, low profile height (no video card), low-profile height-only video cards, full height video cards, etc.
I have a horrible memory about reading, so don't recall this from Zero to One, but I'd suggest saying there is "no SMB marketing channel" means you haven't defined who your customer is.

Look at all the SaaS companies that sell to SMBs. The marketing channels are there, but you have to find the channel that suits your market.
€20mil is the maximum, and there are lower tiers for lesser infractions.

It is good to see a post about netnews/usenet. I thought things started going to hell when HTML-encoding became a significant part of the feed. Half of a group's subscribers would plonk the sender, another half would flame the sender, and the third half would try to muddle through and treat the article as plaintext with a line break somewhere in the 70-80 character line range. That might have been the start of endless September.

The article didn't touch on the suggested way to handle authenticating control messages that reconfigure the INN groups file, it's based on PGP-signing the body of a control message along with selected and identified headers. The PGP signature was stuffed away in a header making it unobtrusive. It was fairly obscure, perhaps that's why the article missed it. The technique is described here https://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/README.html and an example signed control message here ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/sample.control

The collective economic effect of that will be massive. Please do. And realize that you are ceding the single largest market to your competition.

That doesn't necessarily follow.

For example, EU but non-UK customers represent only a small fraction of the user base for one of my businesses. With hindsight, we would have done better to exclude those customers entirely, avoid spending time and money complying with ever-more-onerous EU rules, and invest that time and money in growing our business in more lucrative markets instead.

It is entirely possible for the EU to make itself so unattractive as a market that this will be the case for others too. Indeed several of the near-future measures it is already working on may have exactly that effect. The saddest part is that those running the EU have so little idea about how small business works that they don't even realise they're doing it.
Not entirely right, though I do love the Perf tab. (Disclosure: I work on it.)

This extension adds instrumentation to listen to changes to DOM nodes and style attributes. And it reports exactly what the change was: https://github.com/pilagod/js-tracker/blob/master/src/tracke...

That level of detail isn't really provided in the Perf tab, as it's quite invasive and can have significant perf overhead in a busy webapp. (DevTools does have a hidden experiment called "Timeline: Invalidation Tracking" which does report on various DOM/CSS changes, though. It's cool).

Also, I should point out a _very_ similar extension my mate built: https://github.com/kdzwinel/DOMListenerExtension Same basic idea, but just reporting every change to DOM nodes that a MutationObserver can see.
Well, it's the inverse of cruise control. So some comparable way to disengage quickly like tapping on the brakes could be thought up I'm sure.

Your comment is an example of "whataboutism":

> Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument, which is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the Soviet response would be "What about..." followed by an event in the Western world. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism)
I rented a campervan in New Zealand that had that feature. They called it a "programmable limiter". It was fantastic, I loved it. If I drive with the pedal to the metal, all the way down, then it works identically to cruise control. But you can also slow down for curves or traffic, and then resume your desired speed, without having to mess with any controls.

I don't know if that was a new zealand thing, or a campervan thing. However from what I've googled, it's becoming a more common feature.

Enough to be noticeable in a busy webapp with lots of DOM manipulations. You'll probably want to keep its instrumentation disabled when you're not actively using it.
Yes the single touch screen instrumentation is a deal killer for me. I will not buy a Model 3 for this reason, the Chevy Bolt has a much more traditional interior that I prefer. As does the Nissan Leaf.
I have expat friends in China. I don’t think there is a perception of oppression amongst the population. If anything China has made some serious gains in the well being of its citizens.

> you are a talented professional who takes terabytes of unique & engaging photos, disregard- but otherwise, as another photographer, let me suggest you focus on culling instead of storage.

Even among talented professionals, you are lucky if your "hit" rate creeps over 10-20%, especially outside of controlled studio lighting. I've always felt the amateur dream of "taking better pictures first time" ignores the reality that many pros have long shot in bulk and culled too.

I'd argue that the extremely un-glamorous secret to better photography for _most_ of us once a few basic composition rules like rule of thirds/golden ratio etc are understood is frankly to take many more photos, and yup, cull, cull, cull. This is precisely why tools like Adobe Lightroom come out of the box with such a heavy focus on keyboard shortcut support for zipping through an import and marking the winning images in a quick pass.

Working through them and noticed a few small things.

For #3, you can make a boolean array with np.ones/np.zeros with the same dtype arg, saves a little bit of space.

ie np.ones((3,3), dtype=bool)

For #14, you can make use of the same compound boolean statements as you can in pandas to make it a bit simpler.

ie a[(a > 5) & (a < 10)]

For #15, this is a built in numpy function.

np.maximum(a,b).
