The fact that you acknowledge there exists an objective truth means you're a philosophical realist, as opposed to an idealist.

The fact that you recognize there's a subjective truth, and that it can differ from the objective truth, hints at philosophical skepticism -- though skepticism goes a bit further and claims the objective truth is essentially unknowable.

I don't really understand your "consensus truth" category. The things you list are just labels, not truth statements. Apples and oranges.
I would like to thank the Javascript community for finally clearing up the whole "JS is not Java" debacle by just throwing in the towel and becoming Java, even if they call it Typescript now. JS sure is such a modern language, you can tell because its always changing. Time to go build me some applets, sorry, SPAs!
Not true. Sellers can prevent comingling inventory by creating their listing with a unique FNSKU. This doesn't prevent the product from being sold on the same ASIN. If sellers can do that then Amazon can absolutely do that.
It is absolutely amazing how thick you are. Of course, mass radio and propaganda helped the Nazi state operate.

But they were only broadcasting on the radio after they had power in 1933. It only helped them amplify their hold after they already had total control of the government, in 1933.

But you know what actually helped the Nazi state form? Banning the NSDAP from 1923-1925. And in 1927, banning Hitler from public speaking. And in the period from 1925 to 1932, using armed fighting squads to try to de-platform him in bars precipitating the existence of the Sturmabteilung (SA). And yes, using radio as a political fulcrum to turn people away from opposition parties.

In 1933, Hitler walked the road paved for him by people like you. First as the farce of Weimar, then as the tragedy of National Socialism. Every action had a precendent. Every action justified first by a moral panic. Moral panic by people that can conceive of no reason not to use their over-weaning self-righteousness as a lever to tell other people what to do, without considering the long-term consequences of such actions, without context, without understanding, blindly obeying emotions generated by other people.

Because clearly, in retrospect, the Crusders' blind self-righteousness was morally wrong and led to horrors, the Inquisition's blind self-righteousness was morally wrong and led to horrors, the Commonwealth's blind self-righteousness was morally wrong and led to horrors, the Bolshevik's blind self-righteousness was morally wrong and led to horrors, the Nazi's blind self-righteousness was morally wrong and led to horrors, and countless other movements unnamed. But your sense of moral self-righteousness is morally right and justified and will lead only to utopia and the land of milk and honey.

Some theories posit that Earth may contain the only life nearby (or possibly in the universe) [0]. Since we are the only space faring species on our planet, the water bears would need our help to preserve their genetic record. Life on Earth has less than 2 billion years left, but the universe in general has a lot more than that left.

> In some extreme cases, developers had to write assembly code by hand for the four supported architectures.

Maybe I'm tainted from my experience building / debugging J9 / OpenJ9 but... Why is this considered extreme? If one strays one iota from the standard platform ABI, which is basically a necessity for producing a performant runtime (PICs being an easy example), this is where one ends up.
What do you mean, how do you connect? The same way you connect on prem. Using, the Postgres drivers. You can either have a publicly accessible Postgres instance with a DNS entry (not recommended) or you can run both the DB and the lambda inside of a VPC.

Inertia. It would cost trillions to move all the PHP to JS.

In addition, while you'd have a hard time paying me to code PHP, a huge percentage of PHP devs like the language.
I am seeing the same thing. I assist young Chinese academics abroad with editing English resumes, enhancing LinkedIn Profiles, and interview coaching before they enter the job market. Sometimes these are the same I assisted to get into 1 and 2 year master's programs. Increasingly they wish to return home. We also can't deny the negative impact of tightening visa situation in the US.
I'd never seen that one before. It looks like GitLab made a minimalist version of MetaMask's logo, and then Firefox made a "modern" version of that. Obviously that's not what happened. I assume.

I think foxes just make for really cool logos.
> Most of the big carriers already have the distribution points set up all over the place with a bunch of local drivers covering the last mile.

> I (sort of) worked for Swift ~10 years ago ...

Then you know that many if not most of those distribution centers can only be reached by driving surface streets for one to many N miles.

Last week I picked up a trailer at the Loveland CO Walmart distribution center. I had to go through a roundabout to get to it. Those are fun.

Speaking of, that brings up a fun exception case. We drivers try very hard not to drive up on curbs, it's bad for the curb and whatever's behind it, and (eventually) bad for the truck and trailer and their tires and wheels; or even air lines, depending on what you rub up against.

I assume one of the many rules for autonomous trucks would be "don't run on the curbs." They'll probably be good at avoiding curbs where possible, but sometimes the geometry is impossible.

I further assume that an exception to the rule will have to be written.

And thousands to millions of other rules and exceptions.

It's not an easy problem, from the mundane to the catastrophic, and a scenario can easily go from one to the other in the flip of a bit.
> The next table (the one below, right?)

Yes.

> shows only the relative percent of where taxes come from. It does not describe tax rates.

I know. But if the US is to raise rates they would raise them on Goods and Services, not on income because the tax is already very heavily skewed toward income.

And regardless of that, the breakdown alone shows that the US tax code is more progressive than other countries.
Heh ... one of my employees took it into their head to code up some arithmetic algorithms in C++ a month or so ago. We do not use C++ for anything, we are all Python and JVM based. But he decided that he was going to achieve an amazing win by optimising some numerical code to get order of magnitude benefits, and without asking invested 4 hours into coding it up. I wrote a naive implementation of the same thing in Groovy, of all languages. My implementation was initially 20 times as fast and I coded it in 30 minutes.

So he debugged some more and figured out that he misunderstood some of the inner workings of how vectors copy data and also that he did not understand the threading library he was using properly. He then fixed those two things. After this further exercise he reduced the difference to factor of 4. However he was never able to work out why my code was 4 times as fast as his C++ and abandoned it.

I know for sure that with appropriate expertise the C++ could probably be made to go perhaps twice as fast as my Groovy code. But the point is, none of the supposed benefits come automatically regardless what language you are using. And unless you flip over to GPU or FPGA accelerated methods, the final outcome is well and truly in the same ballpark anyway.

But all this is to say that "rarely translated" might be true at the for applications that are completely in the high performance domain. But for all the applications where the high performance code is in niches at the edge and there simply aren't resources or expertise to fully tune the native implementation ... I think it's translated all the time.

It feels like a giant step backward from a development standpoint. It's as bad or worse than the days when I had to make a change, save it, FTP that file to the server, refresh, lather-rinse-repeat.

So what if I gave you a command-line tool to simply make the current code in your development environment live?

Want a debugger? Nope.

And I also gave you live step debugging, plus replays of recent server state?

Want log files? Gotta get them from a different service that frequently has a lag of 30 seconds or more.

And the logs from the instance you're debugging are available instantly?
Funny viewpoint, but let’s not forget that Socrates was part of the oral tradition and skeptical of the worth of writing. It’s why we’re reading Plato’s account of Socrates’ teachings.

Transforming lead to gold is possible, it takes a particle accelerator and a lot of energy but it can be done. It has been done in 1980 at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in California [1] although they started with bismuth instead of lead.

Arthur C. Clarke had the following to say on the subject:

1: When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2: The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

While terraforming Mars is certainly a daunting prospect the single fact that there is not enough CO2 to create enough of a greenhouse effect to warm the planet does not seem enough of a reason for me to give up on the prospect. There are more effective greenhouse gases than CO2, methane comes to mind. What is not readily present on Mars can be 'liberated' from it chemical bonds or deposited there by means of inbound objects rich in the required substance.

At this point I'm starting to think engineers for self-driving vehicles need to find a way to explicitly map out every possible scenario on a given stretch of road... and from that - in real time - derive a custom template for each individual vehicle, tailored to the range of possible interactions between the vehicle in its current state (i.e. tire pressure is significant) and the current scenario playing out on that road.

Much of the process of getting close to this point can be done with the latest A.I. tools, but I have this nagging feeling we're going to need humans to fine tune a whole lot of 'last mile' stuff.
> and I don't believe there are any good reasons to believe that materialism is more likely to be true than idealism.

You poke someone in the brain (or drop some chemicals in there), their behavior changes. This is a pretty good reason for considering the brain to be the generator of our minds. And then on top of that, we now have another hundred years or so of experiments (via neuroscience and its antecedents) and theoretical models which allow us to accurately predict things about how the brain in fact behaves, and how people's larger scale behavior conforms to that.

But that's only a reply I give because you called me a materialist after my answer of 'Brain.' In fact I'm not a thoroughgoing materialist, but we have enough data at this point to confidently say values arise from brains.
Well it was a continuation that would have happened with or without the Germans, but they had made significant gains that we're a natural fit for the aspirations of the two blossoming superpowers at the time. The difficulty in getting to the moon was so vast that the statement that only Germans did it was just strange. German knowledge was a key part to a very large rocket initiative. It was going to happen, but faster with German help. By the way, it turns out that all the money the Germans spent on the V-2 was wasted since it took money from other programs that might have helped them with the war effort. So one could say that spending it on rockets was a bit premature.
> Article didn’t actually say why they’re shutting it down.

It did. They want to consolidate limited development resources, and flesh out the tech in the easier car segment before then applying it to the superset truck segment.
You could prevent the detection by wrapping contents in a block, so Bash reads it entirely before evaluating it: `safe_curl() { printf "{\n"; curl "$@"; printf " \n}"; }`
How is that a “hack”? You create your DB and you get a connection string to a publicly accessible database or you create it inside a VPC and you configure your lambda to run inside a subnet within your VPC and you configure your security group. This can all be configured within the console.

It's not just Russian. It's a common remedy. As you say, I don't think it does anything - a cold is a virus, and any antibacterial property of the honey would be useless on a virus.

The "hip new stuff" is, in this case, already ten years old, though.
I don't know why technical people bother with anything else these days, TBH. You don't even need a separate server for it: just use a separate network card in an existing machine. And even if one decides to buy a separate machine, it's still much cheaper than a router with comparable capabilities. And the existing router can often be reused as a dumb access point. It's a no-brainer.
As far as the early failures, USA had a similar learning curve. For example, it took 7 tries before the first successful Ranger probe, which took photos of the moon on an intentional suicide mission in order to get roughly 1-foot resolution. But along the way they perfected techniques such as clean-rooms, telemetry, and redundancy.

It seems newbies often try to do too much. For example, an early Soviet Mars probe carried a mini-rover. It was overly bold: they should have kept it simple at the time, putting survivability over gizmos. Add fancy stuff on later missions after the basics are perfected. This incremental approach worked well for Soviet Venus probes. Early Japanese probes similarly tried to do too much too early.

I can’t figure why companies and foundations waste money and designers time to make new ugly logos when their current one are totally ok and well recognized. This is even more ridiculous since Mozilla recently changed its logo for black and white that is at the total opposite of what is shown in the blog post.
I would be careful about applying this principle to Plato because he himself advocates lying to students, insofar as you can take him at face value -- and if you can't, well, here we are. Plato seems to have been a smart guy with an agenda and no qualms about manipulating his readers. That it's manipulative doesn't mean it's false or worthless, but I won't read it in the usual Gricean way.
One of the many reasons I let my Amazon Prime subscription expire last month.

Amazon is selling convenience. But it's not convenient to:

1. Filter out products full of Vine program reviews, which I believe are completely skewed due to the reviewers receiving the products for free

2. Read between the lines to filter out paid/bias reviews that are NOT part of the Vine program

3. Research to ensure the product itself is not fake or counterfeit

Feel like I'm shopping at the shadiest flea market in town.

Step 1: Go to Ceres

Step 2: Build Very Large Railgun™

Step 3: Make Ice Block Harvesting Robots

Step 4: Fire railgun for approximately a crapload of years, changing Ceres' orbit to collide with Mars.

If you get the math Really Quite Spot On, you may be able to slow Ceres while putting the ice projectiles on a highly elliptical orbit that will also hit Mars. Get the final collision right as well, and you could spin up Mars a bit (closer to 24hr days, though I think I'd like 28 better TBH), or slow it's orbit down a bit.

It'd probably take a couple centuries, and the cool down period might take the same, but when you're done you've got loads of water, a touch more mass, and a great little bootstrapped planet.
I think the comparison with [2] is tenuous, but it does touch on some interesting history. The Mozilla browser logo used to be an actual Phoenix (https://www.logaster.com/blog/firefox-logo/) until they got done for trademark infringement. Though it was a company, not a state that sued them. If anything it's more like the Thunderbird logo, upside down.

However if we're going to shout plagiarisim, the Phoenix logo is strikingly familiar to the (Rebel) Alliance Starbird which predates it by about 20 years. Given that it was chosen by popular vote, is that surprising? There's also Vauxhall Motors which has a griffin, but looks somewhat similar.

Easiest way to increase the atmosphere would be to add material though, in this case comets and asteroids that had significant amounts of ices (and hopefully lots of metals, even meteoric iron would be extremely valuable on Mars as a source of easy to process metal).

I'm a truck driver, and I was a little sickened reading it. Still am.

Back in driving school one of the other students was out on the road with an instructor and two other students in the back. A driver was texting, and ran into the back bumper of the trailer (the iron work below the back door), embedding the car by the engine under the bumper. The car was dragged from that point until the truck stopped.

The story the student and instructor told literally involved the phrase "... did you feel something?"
