The best lectures I had at uni were some math lectures where the professor had an overhead with a transparency roll. He'd write on the transparency as if it was a blackboard, and could roll up and down as needed to review older equations or make room for new.

Blackboard worked well too, but not as good, since the professor could sit in front of the overhead so things lined up better, and the transparency pens had much better visibility than chalk on a (green) blackboard.

Most other lectures used PowerPoint, due to the professors being forced by the uni administration, but for me a PowerPoint lecture was barely worth the time. The information just wouldn't stick, since the PowerPoint format doesn't lend itself well to writing notes from, and without writing notes I hardly remembered anything.

In Amsterdam, scooter usage (not electric, just scooters in general) skyrocketed when a famous criminal was shown riding one in some pictures surrounding a heavily publicized case (meaning, these pictures were in the news for literally years on end). It's funny how some freak occurrence influences something that affects so many people. Maybe someone should pay today's equivalent of John Gotti to 'accidentally' get caught on photo riding one, see if it can be replicated...

Nuclear is good as long as it has very stable, secure and responsible local governance. You can't have political instability, people cutting corners, lack of oversight, lack of security or lack of resources ... or you have problems.

To me that's the problem with Nuclear. Following specific rules and conventions, some nations will be fine, but so many ... it's iffy. If Vietnam gets a couple plants, Burma, Laos, Cambodia etc. will want one too and then the risk of something bad happening just starts to crawl up.

"If there's one thing the red side of the iron curtain did right it was not letting form compromise function when it came to public works and civil engineering."

Um. You're technically correct (because the reasoning was "form be damned, gotta build a wartime infrastructure, we'll just let civilians use it until it's needed for tanks"), but this was undermined by lack of maintenance.
> you'll see the definition from the REPL, which is the interesting point

whose source was put into the changes file

It's managed source code, but the source code is not in the image itself. Smalltalk tracks the connection and creates change records for changes done by meta-programming.

That's for example slightly different with a residential system like Interlisp-D / Medley, where the code is in the image itself, the editor is a structure editor actually editing it and the system can run either the source directly (via the Lisp Interpreter) or a compiled version of it.

But that method is not very popular in the Lisp world, where images are used, but changes are not tracked. Most Lisp development only track location of things. Changing sources is also not connected to quitting an image. It's a separate operation. Lisp also never bought into mostly a single development style/environment like Smalltalk did.

And this is because healthcare is not an insurance! It should be instead thought of as a societal contribution (via a tax) for the benefit of universal healthcare.

> it's the experiment that's never been replicated, not the conclusions

> This doesn't in any way invalidate the conclusions, and while criticism of the method is entirely valid we have to acknowledge that this is a data set of one.

The scientific method moves from hypothesis to experiment to conclusions. If repeated experiments do not support the hypothesis, then there are no conclusions.

> This doesn't in any way invalidate the conclusions, and while criticism of the method is entirely valid we have to acknowledge that this is a data set of one.

A data set of one is worthless - no better than random. The number of successful experiments needs to be statistically significant to support the hypothesis.
The article briefly mentions security fears (alongside cost) as one of the reasons for not going ahead with nuclear. Is this code for a certain foreign power throwing their weight around?
You mean you do not already know your software dependencies? A bit careless for running a business, if you ask me.
Maybe malice is the wrong word, but I feel that the essay strongly implies that the author believes that the morality outlined by OCS is reprehensible, and that OCS is actively guiding the readers to agree with his morality by constructing a situation in which it seems reasonable.

Ugh. No need for the exaggeration.

All winter long for 4 years I rode my bike to work in the Yukon in temps between -30C and -40C. I happily walk, snowshoe, ski and fish in temps between -30C and -40C. I have been snowshoeing for hours in -48C (North of Arctic Circle in mid-November).

Obviously the people in the article were hungry and tired, but I severely, severely doubt anyone that lived there would freeze to death trying to walk "a few kilometers". Maybe if it was 20km+.
I once read, and have found to be true, that one can only train someone else to be 80%, or whatever, as good as you. If you let that person train someone else, then they will be worse than that.
The only problem with excrement hitting the marine environment is if it accumulates on the shore or causes unpleasant odors to humans.

The expectation of tipping at a restaurant exists to allow you to punish the employee for bad service over the course of a meal by leaving a 0% tip.

It doesn’t make any sense for a counter service restaurant or other such business that consists of a single interaction before paying, where if you receive bad service you already know that and can just say “actually never mind I’m going to a different place, cancel my order”.
Do you think people can't do that with a frisbee?

I didn't even read this far into it; I think the book is supposed to prompt readers to think _why_ they think that relative morality is absolute. I.e., if there is an absolute morality, there are a lot of barriers to personally realizing it.
I live in Dubai. I used to get glasses made for AED 100 - AED 200 (USD 27 to USD 54) when I was young, based on what I remember from visits to the opticians with my dad. No insurance.

Sometime after that insurance was introduced. Now, as an adult I pay AED 100 - AED 200 (USD 27 - USD 54) [basically the same amount] as 20% co-insurance when getting glasses.

Note 1: USD and AED are pegged.

Note 2: There has been inflation, but not that much. Tea increased from AED 1 to AED 1.5. Taxi increased from AED 10 to AED 20. Clothes increased 50% perhaps.

I'm working with a pre-launch company that's building a tool to map companies' stacks (among other things). They've shared some of their research with me from and it's insane.

Large software companies have no idea what dependencies, libraries, or even languages are in their stacks. Companies are using multiple versions of the same library, replicated in a bunch of different repos. Different teams in he same company end up re-implementing solutions over and over, sometimes in a whole other framework than the team next to them because nobody knows what anyone else is using. Makes compliance a nightmare.

It's wild out there.
IEfication isn't really about oppression tbh, it's about Websites telling me "This application only works in Google Chrome" and completely locking me out. And they work in Firefox once you spoof the useragent. If they don't it's 99/100 times because Chrome is not being spec compliant or doing something dumb. Rarely because Firefox simply doesn't support it.

Having only one browser in the market/ecosystem is dangerous, we learned that with IE.

In the UK, I go to a doctor, get the prescription. Some doctors in rural areas have pharmacies joined on but I think the majority don't. I go to the pharmacy, hand in my prescription and pay £8.80 per item (so two boxes of the same drug is £8.80). I pay upfront, so it costs me £104 a year for anything prescribed by an NHS doctor.

I see US folks talk about getting half their prescription filled, or seemingly using the same prescription multiple times. We can submit repeat prescriptions (such as I do for BP etc). but the actual prescription 'document' is a one time deal.

It's very, very odd to me the way it's set up over there. Especially so that some people fight so hard against change.
Yeah, but neither of these create a community where you'd want to come back. It's a sign of economical progress, but is it what makes you enjoy the life in the country?

I think that's mostly true. The licensing fees were much lower and ignored by anybody that couldn't afford them. Because they charged a maximum per company, the cost for most products was under 1 euro.
The key difference is that the recipients are also others who pay for insurance, whereas in US health insurance, it’s a game of see which provider can collect more from which payer (government, insurance, individual) to make up for the losses on those that can’t pay.

Also, chronic and old age health issues don’t even seem like insurable risks, like getting 20 year term life insurance for a 90 year old. You would basically just be paying for someone else to manage your premium money and take a cut before giving it back to you since the insured risk is inevitable and has to be priced accordingly.
Payback period is kind of a nebulous concept because you can't easily assign a cost to the trips forgone because they aren't worth taking when you're at the mercy of some 3rd party's pricing and/or schedule. The personal freedom you get from having a scooter and/or a car is hard to overstate.
Healthcare and profit don't go together. This is just exhibit n° 31415926535897932384626433.

What happens in the software world when you see twentyseven useless levels of abstraction? Exactly the same. You smell a rat.

In my ideal world:

* Healthcare research funding to come from the public sector and donations only.[0]

* Healthcare products can only be sold once the production process is verifiably fully publicly documented. This means independent reproduction by multiple reputable non-profits.

* Market based generics manufacturers handle production. Competitors (for profit or non-profit) jump in if pricing gets out of hand.

* Healthcare education free to students.

* Only non-profit healthcare services allowed.

* Compensation for people providing healthcare services is linked to median income.

[0] This is not such a big difference as one would think, as more than half of the basic research in the field is actually publicly funded already.

Doing this stuff on yourself at home is pretty much an equivalent of trying to tune up your car's engine by randomly smacking it with a hammer while being blindfolded.

>The underlying paradigms aren't that terribly different, but the actual terminology for expressing ideas idiomatically is wildly different, and represents an unusual obstacle.

Haskell uses a lot of terminology that's familiar to mathematicians, but unfamiliar to everyone else.

CL uses a lot of strange terminology, because it incorporated concepts before their names were standardized and used in other languages. You're left spending a lot of time trying to figure out that a wheel is called a frob or you just end up re-inventing the wheel even though the frob was already in the standard.
I think the greatest irony of our age is the progression of climate change due to environmentalists protesting against the development of nuclear power. While nuclear power admittedly has risks, the tradeoffs are clearly worth making if you look at emissions and deaths per megawatt hour. We didn't curtail energy demand, and future generations will pay the price for using fossil fuels instead of nuclear.

The story does not seem very convincing to me. The split between lab instruments and computers - may actually help fix the next problem. The disregard of consumer products - partially fixed later when they managed to sell large numbers of printers and not only business laptops.

I think the main driver is the selection for kids.

Cassette players are quite sturdy things. Even if cassettes themselves are not as good as the players, they are still better than CDs.

Kids like to handle things, the haptic sensation is important, so you can't give them something with a touch screen early on (although that changes quickly with age).

I would be surprised if this is specific to Germany.
I wonder if they got the redirect configuration backwards...
> hire an experienced engineer.

But "experienced" and "cultural fit" are mutually exclusive for most startups.
As a German my guess would be the kids market. A mixture between the reliability and indestructibility of tapes vs CD. Also it is very easy for young kids to understand the UX of a cassette player.
I think the downvote is a well deserved punishment for the pointless denigration of Mozzila. I use Chrome at home and was using Firefox at work untill very recently. I had to switch to Edge at work.

I noticed this, they removed the categories browser for me, it still shows up occasionally but it's hidden very deep in recommendations I can't find a way to directly go to it other than pressing down for a few minutes till it crops up.

Guess it makes sense for them, I used to boot it up and go straight in there and devour everything new in categories I cared about while still ignoring everything I passed over previously.

These moves to try and remove the choice from what I watch in the hopes of getting me to watch things I wouldn't watch out of choice seems so bizarre when the initial pitch of Netflix vs cable/terrestrial was being in control of what you watch.

Electric bikes (e-bikes) are safer and more durable than scooters, BUT they cost way more (>5x I think) and take up more space. There are also the issues of changing seat height and dresses/long clothes getting caught in bikes.

I'm based in London, where scooters are still banned, but tried Lime in Austin when it first launched. I found the digital experience incredible and I had a great time. But the small wheels on anything other than silky smooth surfaces makes trips uncomfortable and I did almost wipe out. Plus the brakes are not great and the battery performance deteriorates noticeably on longer trips.

There is a place for scooters (small downtown areas) but I think that E-bikes make more sense and can use existing cycling infrastructure more easily. Excited by all these changes...

The essay doesn't sit right with me to be honest. The author seems to attribute no small amount of intentional malice on Card's part, which their talk of manipulation of the readers, and whatnot. Malice which, at least I believe, isn't truly present (at least in this; OCS has some pretty outlandish believes).

It is not "attributing malice" to suggest an author knows what they are doing. A good writer crafts their words carefully, to send the message they wish to impart, and evoke a response in the reader, whatever that might be. This is the foundation of writing itself, and the foundation of literary criticism is the analysis of what that message might be.

The essay refers to another by Radford, which ends with this note:

"To this day, the most common response by Card fans to my essay is that they just don't see it. My goodness gracious, why should anyone imagine that hundreds of pages of meditation on genocide and forgiveness wasn't just pure science fiction, with nothing to say about the twentieth century or its most notorious genocide? To which I can only shrug and say, Hmm-kay, I start with the assumption that the guy is not a complete idiot and that he knows what he's doing and that he actually had something to say. I don't agree with what he had to say, but he did have something to say. The argument that he's an oblivious airhead is not particularly flattering to either you as a fan or Card as an author. If that's your argument, fine, but you'll have to forgive me if I think it's pathetic."

To say the author has no intentions is, for a start, an interesting tack to take in response to an evaluation of Card's own intention-based model of morality, but also potentially takes no more charitable view of Card than that of the essayist.
