95% of the time Vulcan exposes much more low level detail than Metal. A good example is that Vulkan requires you manually lay out buffers/textures in GPU memory, while Metal only lets you bin them into heaps. Vulkan also requires much more manual synchronization. Vulkan also exposes a lot of features (conventional tesselation shaders, geometry shaders) that Metal lacks.

Metal’s main advantage is that it lets you adopt more manual management incrementally (you can basically use it as a DX11 analogue if you’re not interested in low level performance gains). Vulkan is definitely intended primarily for engine developers, not for one-off games.

So, to add some new value for someone coming along accidentally, I would point out that Dart has native support for reactive stream [3], along with additional reactivex/rxdart [4], which makes it comfortable to adopt to current reactive trending.

What? Your approach would be highly susceptible to a rainbow table-like attack AND not allow for k-Anonymity.
I think so. A few days ago someone posted something [1] about how they use their own sub-domain to alias CDNs so they can simply update DNS records to easily fix issues with a CDN site suddenly moving or disappearing. I argued that this breaks any chance for content to be pre-cached before a user visits your site for the first time but I walked away convinced that this one-of-many use cases for CDNs isn't all that useful in practice. Alias real content providing CDNs all you want, but if you want to alias an ad network to get around my proposed rule, then you risk your entire domain getting blocked by the likes of uBlock Origin.

I'm not an expert in any of this. I'm not even remotely sure what I'm proposing is possible or would be effective. I just want to start a conversation because I know what I don't want and throwing ideas out into the wild is better than staying quiet. I know I have no interest in giving up any privacy for a potential few seconds saved on load time for a site I'm not sure I even want to visit in the first place. Load times should be the burden of the site owner. Ideally that would be optimized by serving only what is absolutely necessary to get me to the thing I wanted to see. Not that plus the 10 other things you and/or third-parties decided they deserve to serve and hope my machine has pro-actively pre-fetched so I don't perceive the shit-show going on behind the scenes. Given all the details of how this stuff works, I don't think most users would volunteer for it either.

I think cloud computing deserves a mention. An increasingly large part of each person's demand for computation is satisfied by servers in AWS, Azure, Google, etc. due to the increase in popularity and complexity of online services. Depending on whether the technology sticks, Blockchain (PoW) could also drive a significant increase in energy.
Well at least parking should become more available for those that still do drive themselves around I suppose...

As a public transport user I would appreciate less people being on the trains at least.

I think the other point to consider is that a lot of those driving are probably from out of town, where catching a ride-sharing service in peak hours is going to be prohibitively expensive and therefore not viable. Perhaps ride sharing services could be banned during peak hours, which puts us back to yesterday.

The availability of ridesharing lessens the need for car ownership, which is a huge win for cities because it reduces the need to devote space for the storage of automobiles.

The article ignores this benefit entirely, then makes the contradictory points that a) ridesharing apps actually increase traffic, and b) ridesharing apps siphon riders from public traffic.

All in all it’s written from the perspective of someone who hasn’t had to drive much in a high density urban area, where parking is nearly as much of a headache to figure out as traffic.

Silicon Valley cities can collect those profits just fine by building offices instead.
I don’t see why they’d need to charge near demand though. Charged vehicles can move into dense areas, drive around for a couple hours and then grab one rider to go out to a charge station in a cheap area, then grab someone else and head back in to the city center.

Seems like there will be plenty of fungibility in charge locations.
It's important to note that in the 2006 study that Caplan cites, which reported that 18% of social scientists identified as Marxists, the other options offered were all about political affiliation rather than economic views (although there is certainly significant overlap between these categories). The prevalence of self-identified Marxists in social sciences, particuarly sociology, may reflect the important role Marx's commentaries on the social outcomes of 19th century capitalism has had in areas like history, sociology, and cultural studies, rather than a commitment to communist economic structures. There are plenty of Marxist scholars who use Marx's methods of analyzing social phenomena without subscribing to his statements about the inevitable triumph of socialism. Marx is generally recognized as a better diagnostician than a prescriptionist, and for fields involved in critical analysis of social-political-economic phenomena it is not surprising to see people who identify (politically) with his work and world view.

Vulkan also requires a huge amount of code to do relatively simple things, and is much easier to invoke UB with. It was always intended first and foremost for engine developers. Metal is far more appropriate for games that use their own graphics code but aren’t doing anything too special or have time for painstaking optimization.

Using Vulkan is like writing your own language runtime over system calls: you have to handle memory allocation and synchronization on your own.

But still it is no accident that ncd's analysis works at the local government level: there are tens of thousands of those governments so variation means there will be some viable customers around.
A lot of cities have wised up to the insanity that is on-street parking, and converted it where possible into protected bike lanes, seating/parkettes, wider sidewalks, etc. There's something to be said for lessening the demand for parking in enabling that process.

One additional motivation is a historical approach to reduce losses due to employee theft. In a cash economy "rounder" numbers would make it easier for employees to take payment without having to ring up the transaction on the till. For example if a magazine was offered at a price of $5 the employee could simply ask for the $5 from the shopper who is more likely to have a $5 bill on hand, the exchange of goods for cash could then take place with the employee pocketing the money and the customer walking away having happily made he purchase (not necessarily aware of the employee's malfeasance). If the goods purchased are not nice round numbers, there is more of a likelihood that the customer will be more invested in the transaction being run up in order to get their change from the transaction.

I think we can pretty safely assume that if they would have been willing to do this, Forbes would have been happy to report on it, because it's a damn good story.

Hah. Existential quantifiers are hard.

I’m not an electrician, and that’s who you should talk with.

However, it’s way easier to just trip a breaker when the power goes out. The whole neighborhood is drawing from your battery, breaker flips and you are done.

A single meter tie is simple. You use what you generate. Any extra makes the meter run backwards. You draw more, you pay for it. The infrastructure probably can’t handle whole neighborhoods doing this.

IMHO, they should charge a flat monthly fee for the option to connect.

Magnificent. I’ve been totally entranced by black holes since I first read A Brief History of Time as a kid. Years and years of trying to wrap my head around them, and they’re still just about the closest thing I get to a spiritual moment.

This is a fantastic piece, and even though some images are more visually striking, for me the ones that gives me the most chills are the time-lapse of stellar motion around Sagittarius A. Those are stars* being whipped around like toys. Stars. Over 97% of the mass of the solar system is just Sol, and these stars are more massive, and look at them move!

Chills.
The problem described in the article is a short term problem. The reason for the increase in congestion is that the new services, Uber and Lyft, have added vehicles, not displaced them. The taxis and buses that were there before are still there, plus now there are ride sharing vehicles.

But that situation won't last. If usage of taxis and buses decreases, fewer of them will be needed, so the number of them on the city streets will gradually decrease. That hasn't happened yet because those services are propped up by fees and taxes, so the fact that they are being out-competed can be hidden--for a while. Sooner or later that will cease to be feasible.

The real question is whether, after all this has shaken out, congestion on city streets will be better than it was before ride sharing services came along. It seems like it ought to be, since ride sharing seems like a more efficient way to allocate vehicle space. But we won't know for sure until the experiment is done.

It may reduce parking, but it does cause a net increase of miles driven compared to people driving themselves.

It is also true that as more people rideshare, fewer take public transit, which is more efficient in fuel and the number of people-miles driven.

These points are not in conflict.

Your last sentence struck an interesting chord of agreement-and-disagreement with me. I also oppose rent control and ill-considered tax controls like Prop13, because I think the downsides for communities far exceed the upsides in both cases.

That means I would consistently vote against them in my own community, but I still support the rights of people in other communities to make choices different than my own. If they prefer the outcomes under rent control or Prop-13 type initiatives, who am I to say that they're wrong for their own community? Of course I can have an opinion that they're wrong, but I'd rather not force them to comply with my opinion over their own and their neighbors'.

Side note: the reason I don't live in Silicon Valley right now is that when I went interviewing out there and had job offers from two companies at a healthy increase over my then-salary, neither would allow me to afford to purchase a comparable level of housing and lifestyle to what I have out here. That was in 1998 or 1999.
There was no assumption. Just a simple question. If we are using assumptions, I assume it won't be as easy for the courts to handle initially as you suggest. It's a newer technology therefore there won't be any/many precendents. I'm not a lawyer but it seems quite obvious that this type of thing could get complex fast.
Introduction to Data Driven Propaganda
I wrote this piece as I was leaving the Army, I was planning on letting it sit in the archives for a while but I guess I’ll go ahead and explain what it’s talking about.

1. The Russian information operations are not about the American elections. It’s been a sustained information warfare campaign for the last several years, and the elections were part of it.

2. The Russians are playing on existing differences in society. The key difference between their modern campaign and traditional campaign is they have population data to target their propaganda, so they can identify arbitrary fracture lines in groups.

On a side note, this is the same technique that traditional human intelligence uses, which the Russians are good at. Most people are generally good people and don’t manipulate others intentionally, so if this is new to you the US Army’s FM 2-22.3 covers about 20 different methods (non-exhaustive) of manipulating individuals with this sort of information, intended for interrogation. It covers playing on peoples’ fears, their ego, love, etc. The Russians are just doing this on a wide scale, albeit it’s also the same thing other advertisers do, just more widespread and coordinated.

3. Undermining groups is not random. It’s using an evolutionary strategy of undermining groups threatening to Russia’s interest rather than creating groups out of thin air. Without having the data that they’re using for analytics for identifying sub-populations, it’s rather hard to figure out what group a given set of divisive propaganda is targeting. Also, it isn’t just the bots or the social advertising. It’s full-spectrum.

4. The Russians are not the only ones that are using these techniques. However, they are more aggressive about it because Putin freaked out that the US was going to try to overthrow him. They’re in a corner and acting out of weakness, not strength. That being said, we’re not all that great about responding to events in the world so there isn’t a guarantee we come out of this with a good outcome.

I didn’t choose the top picture, the wording just frames it for why it was relevant to the Army (keeping it apolitical).
i guess no google assistant support now for ring products
But "lessens the need" is very different from "actually fewer cars", a point the article makes upfront. Until there's data showing otherwise, I can fully believe the premise of the article that Uber has stolen more modeshare from cycling and real mass transit than it has from private vehicle use. That is, there just aren't that many people who either got rid of a private vehicle in order to embrace ridesharing, or are able/willing to leave it at home a significant proportion of the time.

WHo exactly is being forced into a tower? I have a detached house with a small yard, a short walk from a block lined with condo buildings and one rental building.

Nobody's being forced into my neighborhood. The working class homeowners have been pushed out of the houses by yuppies like me long ago. Now they're being pushed out of that one rental building, which has been remodeled, and where they've stopped taking Section 8. And they're pushed out by people who for whatever reason are quite happily packing themselves into these buildings.

Why can't it just be a hobby, or hunting, or sport. I remember having fun shooting at a range. Around 8th grade I joined a local small bore club and shooting range and we shot .22 rifles. It was tons of fun. It wasn't in US, not sure if those things exist here for kids at that age. But anyway I can definitely see people doing it for that reason.

I tried to contribute to a couple of official Dart web projects.

It was extremely poorly handled by the Angular Dart team and I learned the hard way that the “source code open to public” != “open source, contributions welcome”.

I really wanted to use Dart over the JS ecosystem (it’s similar to TypeScript syntactically but with a package manager that’s not npm and none of the JS implementation baggage!) but the project is very clearly catering to internal customers at google with 0 care for any sort of community.

I should emphasize that all my contributions were fixes and not some sort of feature requests - the latter would be straight up impossible to discuss I am sure.

Good luck to both the Dart VM and Flutter team - solid engineering from what I can see, just a pity that community management was shit and put me off unless I get paid to work with them.
