Most of my applications are built using Perl and the excellent CGI::Application module/framework.

I've used Dancer a couple of times, but that tends to be for smaller applications, and it has to be said that the last remaining dancer application I used in production was replaced by a port to golang this morning. Partly for a fun learning experience, and partly to simplify deployment.

For new projects, if they were small and self-contained, I'd probably gamble on golang. If they were more complex, or I was in a rush, I'd use Perl.

SolarCity was as far as I know a liability when it was merged with Tesla, not an asset. The only reason the merger happened is because Elon Musk had a big stake in both did not want to see SolarCity go under, it was 3 billion in debt at the time.

> Those stats are also probably skewed in favor of people actually bothering to fill their survey. Those are more likely to be active/proactive, which in my experience is correlated with tinkering with tools (ergo, using Vim or Emacs).

and yet:

As you see, 4 most popular editors are VS Code, Visual Studio, Notepad++ and Sublime Text, all of them are GUI applications. Only 26% developers use Vim, 4% Emacs.
The devil is in the details. Automation is all about part variance, if they can't control that it will be a huge problem. Humans are flexible, robots much less so.
False. Those $100 are not enough to save people from malaria but the kind of money Bill Gates has did; doesn't matter how much you fought to obtain a single dollar and then you donate it; it helps just as little as it you found it on the floor.
And with pycharm you'd have simply used a generator preset for uuids.

There's even a dozen of generator presets integrated, you can just easily invoke them from your keyboard, without pressing all modifier keys at once.

And PyCharm even has all the keyboard navigation as well, you can even get emacs or vi keybindings, if you wish, I only use the mouse when the app's already running and I'm going through the log.

"DNS leaks can be prevented by using a generic DNS provider such as 8.8.8.8."

... and you replied:

"You mean leaking to Google doesn't count as leaking?"

But I don't understand where the DNS leaks would be coming from if you are using an actual VPN for your entire network stack - wouldn't that tunnel all traffic (TCP and UDP) to your endpoint ?

How are you leaking DNS in that scenario ?
Holmes and Zuckerberg are not even in the same league as Musk. The first is a fraud, the second the sneaky CEO of one of the worst online entities (a perfect example of a fish rotting from the head) the third a visionary that tends to deliver long shots with alarming regularity. If Tesla gets its house in order it will survive and prosper, if it can't get its house in order Musk's personal brand will definitely be damaged, let's hope that SpaceX won't end up suffering from that.

Honestly, I think this is a fallout of third party data being too expensive relative to the increase in performance more than anything else... middleware ad tech and data sellers are a failed experiment that has been a net negative for advertisers, users and publishers..all it did was just enrich some bloated ad tech startups to steal a piece of the pie...its a scam that floated on smoke and mirror attribution models...and advertisers who actually control their budgets have smartened up finally...its artificially propped up by agencies incentivized to spend more and make their clients look good in a powerpoint and colorful excel sheet...without true accountability to REALITY!
I think we will see many more hits to the third party data world and ad tech that promises richer targeting without really serving the users or advertisers by enabling them to deliver better value...versus just paying twice for customers they would have anyways short of the third party selling your customers to your competitors...its a shell game and its finally coming crashing down!!! GOOD RIDDANCE!
One of the things I remember from the plant tour at the facility in Toyota City was being impressed with the logistics they had to enable a heterogenous assembly line. One car rolled off every minute, but they were different models with different options. Most of the assembly steps were performed by humans, but all the parts needed for each step, which differed based on model/options, always arrived at the right station at the right time. There was a massive computer-controlled overhead distribution system that shuttled parts (including large/heavy parts like engines) around the factory that was damn impressive. With as many steps as were needed to assemble a car, that system was at least as impressive as the robotic welding arms and other fully-mechanized assembly steps.

Automation isn't necessarily just about replacing people. It can also be used to make the people you have a lot more productive.
It's not out of fashion because of a name. It's considered dangerous because of the rate, and there is logic to that.

The slow change in dogs or crops over many decades or generations is tolerable. But rapid change can kill, or at least it excites danger signals in the affected organisms (people).

A car that creeps towards you slowly is fine. One that moves too fast might kill you.

I think rate is the central question in this problem, but it always gets elided in discussion with the word "just," as if rate was a minor concern.

That's an interesting remark. It's hard to beat mass production. As number produced skyrocket to the millions, it's difficult that a custom device has the resources that a mass marketed device has.

I would not hold up French cars as the paragon of assembly quality. And I'm saying that as a huge Citroen fan (I've owned many different models, 2CV, DS, ID, CX, XM, C5, C8).

German cars are substantially better in quality, and finding high mileage German or Japanese cars is easy, finding French or Italian high mileage cars is much more rare.

Is there some story behind why the highest paid individual in the entire city is a "fire apparatus operator"?

He pretty much doubled his salary with overtime.

And there are way too many city salaries over $200k in my opinion. Judging by the job descriptions and requisite educations for those jobs, I'd say they are way, way over market rates.

In what fantasyland do you need to pay $250k a year to find and retain a talented individual to be an "EMT supervisor"?

Is it really so easy as to pretend you don't know? Surely that can't hold up for very long.
wonder technologie. Future is coming
One of the big stand-outs for me is that companies that are very successful in the long run change one major thing at a time. Changing one major thing is a risk, but one that can be dealt with and absorbed with a sufficiently strong cushion around the thing that is changing. If you change more than one thing at the time your cushion becomes very thin and any complex interplay between the various moving parts has the effect of exposing the world to the fact that you are changing many things at once and can not cope with the rate of change internally. Changing three major things at once is simply a gamble. It may pay off but there is a near certainty that you will damage the brand and there is a good chance you will mortally wound the company. I really hope that Musks bets will pay off but it is looking awful scary right now.

NESticle was a fantastic emulator; it really upped the ante as far as user experience went.

It was fast, had way more capabilities and configurability than others.

The UI was polished and dripping with personality.

At the time, while I had dabbled in making small BASIC programs and hex editing games to bypass copy protection, I didn’t know it would even be possible to emulate a whole computer system, and to do it with such aplomb.

It inspired me to delve deeper in the scene and probably played a role in me to take an interest in software development as a vocation.
Yes. First party data isnt going anywhere.
Ok so why is she searching for "black girls"? I don't search for "Canadian guy". Outside of wanting a generic/stereotype photo, what're the reasons?

My 2p guess: maybe traditional automakers have a very good, experienced and cheap workforce where Tesla has many very smart and costly engineers. Focusing on what makes Tesla different instead of mimicking concurrence is risky, bold, but also very ambitious and promising (sorry for my bad english, I hope you see what I mean).
Worse, that interface would be a child's play to implement in Turbo Vision on MS-DOS.

My point was that it's like applying makeup to the mirror instead on your face - what you propose is not like improving your fitness, it's like making a curved mirror that makes you appear slim and flatters you, hides the problem and doesn't change anything about the underlying issues.

After your proposed changes it is no longer visible, and we can no longer make informed choices - people searching for "black girls" still want the same thing, but they're getting a worse service (results that don't fit their intent) just to hide them and their preferences from other parts of the society. There's also a feedback loop in the opposite direction, if there are real problems that simply are hidden, they're not going to get fixed.

On the other hand, it's worth examining the actual problem - it's worth noting that people who do want to find sexual pictures of black girls are just as valid users as black girls, and any fair solution must keep both of their preferences in mind; it would be unfair to simply damage the service for one group to appease the another. IMHO a fair solution would be based on data about what the people who use that query actually want (in some equivalence to picking equal opportunities in the "equal opportunities vs equal outcomes" tradeoff dilemma) - if some people are using the term in their daily search and some are not, then the interests of these frequent users could reasonably be considered more important. Aggressive personalization (different users having wildly different search results for the same term because of the differences in the assumed intent) is another way to do that, but it brings a bunch of other problems.
1) regarding price, it's probably PV at those prices, as CSP today comes in at least 2x of PV installed capacity cost and that's taking a very aggressive estimation- although one could probably get CSP costs down to $1/watt with the design and procurement scale economies being talked about.
2) Regarding Venning's point about demand, even with significant amount of energy storage, this would create quite a bit more peak power on sunny days than their current grid demand can handle so announcement may be based on a couple (dodgy to me) assumptions:
a) either they assume building it out in phases slowly over time to accompany some aggressive assumed demand growth or
b) they are thinking about power exports in a region where Saudi Arabia probably doesn't have too many politically viable customers

Patenting of plants predates GMOs and actually, the majority of patented plant varieties are non-GMO. GMO plants are not sterile. They are usually hybrids and like with all hybrids (even non-GMO) their offspring do not maintain the same traits. This is why Monsanto's (and other non-GM hybrid seed providers) agreements with farmers do not allow for replanting--they don't want liability for trait failure in offspring.

This data had a baked in 10-15% markup...so costs should actually go down for advertisers.
Ah, that makes sense. That also would imply that more and more domains where JS has the advantage now will shift towards WASM in the long term.

Might part of the issue also be that there are now two compilation phases: to-WASM, and WASM-to-native? If the WASM bytecode produced isn't easily optimised by the WASM-to-native phase (I assume only the most basic optimisations are made at that stage) that may also result in slowdowns.

I'm wondering if this can become a source of unexpected instability in WASM performance across JavaScript engines, kind of like how built-in functions can vary wildly in performance across JavScript engines right now.
It's not hard to find examples of inefficient spending in education (the depiction of Newark Public Schools in "The Prize" is particularly poignant), nor is it hard to find examples of dramatic underfunding (just ask any teacher in a low income area). But anecdotes on either side of the equation don't really lead us to correct policy.

There are costs to operating a school district that have increased dramatically in the past 30 years (most significantly: employee benefits, special education compliance) and have not been met with comparable increases in funding. Additionally, we've dramatically raised the expectations we have for schools (holding schools accountable for "No Child Left Behind" and raising the rigor of instruction with the Common Core & new assessments).

From this vantage point, it seems clear to me that we need to either narrow the scope of what we ask schools to do or increase funding to meet additional burdens. And it'd be nice if we can improve operational efficiency while we do this...
I use NeoVim in tmux pretty much exclusively.

You can turn on mouse support for terminal apps like Vim and Emacs and still click things like the file viewer, scroll text with two fingers and resize windows with a mouse.

You just have to configure it.

This to my mind is the real difference between classic editors like Vim and Emacs and GUI IDEs.

With the terminal editors you can be at least sure that you'll get a comprehensive keyboard interface system, I haven't always found that with GUI IDEs especially when it comes to third party plugins.
I see your point, but I think we have done enough at the expense of the environment. A little more forethought in that area is welcome at least.

Some wild ambitious construction in favour of the environment and humanity would be excellent. But we seem suddenly frugal when that comes up.

It's of course more nuanced than I am about to make it seem, but that world governments are not chomping at the bit to install as much solar as possible is telling. The price is right, but the incumbents are hard to motivate, and for some reason generation of one of our most important, most volatile and most polluting resources is a private market concern.

> Donating $29M worth of XRP costs them nothing since Ripple labs holds 80 billion XRP.

This is the key.

Ripple has donated $29M value out of the portfolios of their XRP-holders. The effect of this, might be a net-increase of that value, though, since the marketing-effect might even pump the price.

If you own XRP, you just donated a fraction to a good cause. Congrats.

Very similar to how Europe "printed" money to "save Greece" several times. A worthy cause, but paid by everyone holding Euro: every Euro just gets some inflation and the shaved-off value is used "for the good cause". I'm not saying inflation is bad, that is not my point. Nor that giving to good causes is bad, and my point is also not about wether or not the combined wealth of Europeans should be used to save a county.

My point is that giving away other peoples money is easy and hardly ever presented as such.
