> The reference could be immutable but allow value reassignment, but is not the implementation of const.

You can reassign values through a const reference in javascript. For example:

const x = [1]
x[0] = 2 // ok!

This just doesn't work with primitive values, because primitive values are immutable and copy-by-value. So this works with lists but not strings (because strings are a primitive and thus immutable).

Or, put in C++ friendly terms, javascript doesn't distinguish between pointer reassignment and value reassignment. It only has reassignment, which is illegal for const variables. Variables which hold non-primitives (lists, objects, etc) are actually pointers to those values. const does not affect the mutability of the value stored at the pointer.
I work in machine learning, where my team’s ML web services are typically requested by other in-house teams to provide features for their business logic, and so our SLAs are also agreements with other in-house teams.

What I’ve found is that product managers and business people are typically extremely resistant to traditional concepts of software requirements or feature planning, because they want flexibility to change requirements late in development without any negative repurcussion to them.

But somehow the language of SLAs magically clicks and they are more receptive to defining a service agreement. Then you ask them, from a business point of view, how much uptime does it need, what sort of throughput does it have to support, is the budget for outages or failures distributed equally across all features or more important for some features than others?

This practically leads directly to the same scoping and requirements discussion you would have had in traditional software planning, but for some reason the language of SLAs is more palatable, so I’ve found it is an effective way to get around some non-tech person in the loop who might be fighting against detailing a proper spec or documenting priority delivery among features.

That extreme suspension vehicle looks like something out of Batman. Bet it's a hoot to drive.

I thought it was interesting that while they're doing a ton of research, it's all one-off stuff. In other words, they could have required all of the experiments to ter with one another using some standard framework. Then they could mix-and-match various experiments to see how well they work with one another. Instead, it looks like they're evaluating each one separately -- with some huge integration nightmare up head if any of them ever make it into the field. I wonder why they do it that way.
Looking very busy makes people feel needed and non-replaceable.

I haven't investigated updating of data using anything clever. I know the database load script can write out a list of tiles that need to be rerendered, which can be fed into the renderd process. Renderd has multiple priority channel so bulk renders are a lower priority than user views, so a live system can update the tilecache without much easier impact.

I haven't investigated it because we are probably moving to Vector tiles over the next month or two, and we don't need up to the minute map updates. On one of our sites, we have been rendering navteq tiles and we only get updates for those quarterly. It was only our public site that we were using Google Maps for.

Backup and restore we are just doing via normal backup programs. The tilecache is stored in meta tiles, which is a d duplicated set of 64 tiles in a single file. So we are only dealing with about a million files in a directory structure totaling 25 gigabytes.

If we needed to restore or update our tiles, we would probably just spin up a new box and rerun ansible to deploy it. I have it all encoded Within a Playbook.

PostScript actually stores read, write and execute bits in the references themselves! (Unlike the way Unix files store the access mode attributes in the inode itself, so all hard links to the same inode have the same rwx attributes.)

So you can have a reference to a mutable PostScript dictionary representing a font or something, then go "dup readonly" to hand out a read-only reference to the same dictionary, so other code can't modify it, but you can still modify the writable font if you hang onto the original writable reference.

You're allowed to change the execute bit of a reference with cvx/cvlit, but you can only downgrade the readability and writability of a reference with readonly, executeonly or noaccess. Since PostScript code is data (homoiconic), protected code in proprietary fonts can be read-only executable arrays.

For anyone interested in the facts of what goes into the cpi-u (or -w) basket rather than opinion, here is a breakdown of the weights going into the basket of goods and services. The date is a bit stale, from 2015-2016, but good nonetheless.

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/relative-importance/2017.txt

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/relative-importance/home.htm#...

notably, top-level breakdowns are:
Food and beverages 14.359

Housing 41.772

Apparel 3.018

Recreation 5.737

Transportation 16.537

Medical care 8.673

Education and communication 6.707

Other goods and services 3.198

Interestingly, if you dig into the data, you can see some interesting patterns of consumer spending. For example, women's and girl's apparel spending is 66% larger than men's and boy's apparel! Also, motor vehicle maintenance and repair is only weighted as 1.123% of spending, which is a lot less than I would have guessed given people's horror stories.

Breaking down the housing category, the combined values of rent and owner's equivalent of rent make up more than 30% of the basket. This has risen by about 5% (of the whole basket) since 1987. I doubt that that category is being evaluated too low in a substantial way. Rent by itself is only 7.8% of the basket, which may mean that the basket is fairly insensitive to people being gouged by their landlords.

If you live in a fancy metro, your rent will be above average compared to the nation. This is to be expected.

I am surprised that medical is only 8-9%. This has risen from 5.8% in 1987. I expect that the reason it is so low is that the average person spends 80% of their life having tiny medical bills and 20% of their life having huge ones.

By looking at which categories have shrunk in their weightings over time, you can get a feel for what goods/services are cheaper now than in the past OR that people now choose substitute goods instead of. Certain categories have no substitute, i.e. medical. If you squint at the data real hard you can eke out where you personally are getting reamed more than past-you would have. Some actionable advice would be to consider which services have gotten more expensive due to Baumol's Cost Disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol%27s_cost_disease) and do your best to DIY them.
>"Despite that, the site has now been cleared of people amid fears the sarcophagus could release lethal toxic fumes, Egypt's state-owned newspaper Al-Ahram says."

In the previous paragraph the interviewee is claiming to have put his head in the tomb, from the pictures it seems like he was wearing nothing more than a dust-mask.

So either they're lying as to why they've cleared the area, or analysis of the contents has shown something troubling?

I'm surprised they didn't put a probe in to sample the internal gases prior to opening -- doesn't seem too much of a stretch to imagine a dangerous gas could have built up (eg from embalming chemicals), and the gaseous environment could surely give useful archaeological information in some cases (?).
When Starbucks introduced the little green non-recyclable stopper sticks they claimed the idea was for people to wash and reuse them. But there are no signs in Starbucks to encourage this and of course no one does. Except maybe me. I got sick of finding them everywhere. There must be a hundred under my car seat. So I've allowed myself no more. I've carried about a half dozen in every handbag, washed and reused them. My BF and I joke that everyone should be issued one stopper stick per lifetime....ha! But recently I was shocked to find out Starbucks cups aren't even recyclable! So I bought one of their reusable plastic cups, only to find their little green stopper sticks don't fit. :(

C'mon Starbucks, with all your profits, you can do better than this.

The thing about pyInstaller is that it works absolutely perfectly... until it doesn’t. In which case you are stuck spending days on trying to kick everything in your project into shape with the hope of it working.

That is what I hate most about Python, there is only one sure-fire way of doing packaging and that’s setting it up even before you write your first line of code and the testing constantly as your project evolves.

Myself and others have absolutely no trust in the several build pathways because they all fail horrible for a wide range of reasons. To the counter, if I have a C++ or C# project I’m very confident that it will almost always be a breeze to package it up.

The distances between cities in California or the upper East coast isn't. Both places have a high enough population density to support a good train network.

No one is suggesting that you take train from New York to LA but rather that you take a train from LA to San Francisco or Boston to New York. Similarly in Europe most people don't take a train from London to Rome but people will often take a train from London to Paris or Barcelona to Madrid. Any flight of 3 hours or less is usually faster and more comfortable as a train ride.
I think your experience is atypical. I use powershell everyday and I've not noticed any startup time difference between it and cmd. Are you sure you don't have some gigantic import in your profile.ps1? Are you launching the really terrible and definitely slow as balls to launch Powershell IDE?

Frankly, given how superior powershell is as a language (both to cmd and bash) it is beyond me why anyone would consider a small startup cost difference a dealbreaker anyway.

That has not been my experience. Diesel generator-motor sets are much heavier than a diesel engine with mechanical transmission and are less efficient. That does not even take into account a buffer battery weight which you pretty much need for power draw spikes and regenerative braking.

Just look at say a Cummins ISB with Allison transmission at 300hp, that's around 225 kilowatts. That combo weighs around 1500 lbs, maybe closer to 2000 with running gear if your comparing to hub motors. A bare frame generator putting out 200+ kw its going to be well over 4000lbs plus whatever hub motors and motor controllers and power systems and batteries weigh.

You can go smaller on the generator and make it up on the battery which means more weight, but even a 100kw generator is going to be around 3000lbs and you won't be able to utilize full power for long periods (long grades).

Perhaps some advanced generator might be lighter, but it essentially the engine with the same size and weight generator attached to it as needed for motors of equivalent power output. Mechanical transmission on the other hand are pretty light comparatively and have much less losses than the mechanical-electrical-mechanical double conversion.
this also has some really fun rules that are useful for mad science sometimes. For example, you can recover the JS context's global value via this:

(function() { return this })()

In a browser this resolves to the window object. In nodejs it resolves to the global object. I've used this a few times to help write isomorphic javascript bundles, though its much less useful than it once was.

I've got no powershell customizations, and an i5-4670k. I've also experienced Powershell having a very noticeably slow startup. It's about on par with my heavily modified zsh setup on a 2015 MBP for startup time (the same zsh setup starts up much faster on the same desktop).

It's not a dealbreaker, but it's definitely an annoyance.

I don't know. I know that some mention was made of the pieces fitting already-existing army wheel specs. So obviously for some groups integration was a consideration.

And it's a mistake to think in all-or-nothing thinking here. I didn't say you needed to design a rock-solid integration system, only that it looked like integration was a minimal concern -- and that was an interesting choice.

I come from the tech community. The longer we put off integration, the more expensive things become.
>Many elements of totalitarian control were definitely present.

This is misleading. It was not a totalitarian state.

Benevolent dictatorship is even an exaggeration.

Yugoslavia had a very liberal socialist economy. Trade with the west was very common. International travel was allowed. Collectivism was common but it’s misleading to suggest this is an element of totalitarianism. Strikes were more legal in communist Yugoslavia than they are in present-day United States. Control over the media is accurate.

It’s off topic but citizens also had free access to healthcare.

You're right on all counts, but in my experience some of these behaviors are symptoms of depression, rather than causes. It's a vicious cycle.

So let me add one more thing to your list:

Go to therapy.

Most people carry lots of stress around with them. Many people silently bear feelings they don't even realize they are having, or are not emotionally literate enough to express them. They might not have family or friends can listen effectively. Etc.

Having a safe place to just "talk things out" is tremendously important. Carrying around un-expressed feelings almost invariably leads to stress. There are significant, physical, negative effects of chronic stress. Low-level depression follows, and then you end up in these behaviors that reinforce the stress-depression cycle.

Not to mention the fact that many people bear all sorts of traumas (real, imagined, mild, severe) from their pasts, especially childhood. These things can stay with a person for their whole life, if they aren't addressed.
