The change to electric vehicles is at first mostly about local emissions in cities. The percentage of coal in the energy mix is falling btw, and China installs more renewables and nuclear than anyone else.
Who does `true := false` in actual code, though? However, in real life, I've already wondered if using `new` as a variable is bad practice or not:

old := x
new := foo(&x)
if old != new {
return &Bar{} // oops, return new(Bar) won't compile
}

That should at least be caught by linters.

This description perfectly captures my impression on Keybase too (especially the part on unwillingness to decentralize their social-media based identities).

>True, but those are technical ones. I couldn't find any article explaining what a "strallo" is, in fact "cos'è uno strallo" (what is a straw) seems to be a common search based on Google's autocomplete.

It's not a "straw", it is a "stay" in English.

Strallo is a term mutuated from boats, a sail boat has a mast (albero) that is kept vertical and strong by one or more sets of "stays" (stralli):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stays_(nautical)

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strallo_(vela)

On the sail boat the function of the stay is "opposite" to that of a bridge stay, it is used to keep the mast pressed to the base and more rigid, on a bridge they are simply "suspension supports" allowing to carry the weight of the viaduct deck and transferring the vertical load to the tower or pylon (torre o antenna).

The regression test [1] for our legacy application takes five hours to run. It takes five hours to run because it also needs to check every log message (via syslog) to ensure every transaction happened.

I can't say it saves any time, and it certainly does not have a negative cost.

[1] There are no unit tests, as there are no real "units" to test. It's a legacy code base of C and C++, using a proprietary library that no one left in the company has much experience with. Said proprietary library is considered "legacy" by the company that owns it. I've seen the code. No wonder they consider it "legacy" (it started life in the mid-80s and god does it show).

> Why should a government have the power to end a legitimate industry, which contributes massively to GDP and society's well-being, without a long changeover process?

Because of external costs.

When it turned out radioactive toothpaste kills people it was banned. When it turned out CFCs destroy ozone layer they were banned. The only reason petrol is treated differently is - our economy depends on it. This will eventually change, we can work to make it happen faster or not.

If we don't - all the external costs that could be avoided are our fault.
WAT 3 and WAT 10 were surprising for me.

WAT 3 becomes less surprising when you consider that a method on a pointer can be called and can return a valid result even if the pointer is nil.

WAT 10 just seems inconsistent. I said this before, and I'll say it again: shadowing does more harm than good.

The rest are pretty trivial for anyone who worked with the language for over a year or read the documentation carefully.

This is a plot hole. Healthiest and most vulnerable are directly at odds. Extreme vulnerability (and poverty) does bad things to one's health. Good health is a good antidote to vulnerability.

This is one of those cases where evil is its own solution or antidote because this fundamentally doesn't work, a la "Going to war to preserve the peace is like fucking to preserve virginity."

> Now, sure, slices and the way append work are a bit complicated to grasp at first

slices are not complicated, the issue is append, mutable slices and backing arrays being shared, that's what's really fucky about it.

And that interaction is absolutely a WAT. Especially the ability to separately append to two slices with the same backing array.

> A lot of WATs are more bad practice than problems in the language, IMO

Much the same could be said about the original presentation.

There absolutely are non-WAT sections in that article though. (4) is one.

Your second paragraph makes some startling claims. While it's not entirely clear to me what you mean by them, they do seem in conflict with my own understanding of emergence, and also with TFA, which says:

> More generally, I claim that the opposite of compositionality is emergent effects. The common definition of emergence is a system being ‘more than the sum of its parts’, and so it is easy to see that such a system cannot be understood only in terms of its parts, i.e. it is not compositional.

The Indian telecom industry had another major shock back in 2009, when a new firm - DoCoMo - introduced a 'Per-second' billing.

I wonder how EVs really compare to trolleybuses (tech from XX century) pollution and money-wise?

EVs have more route flexibility, and don't need expensive infrastructure, but they need expensive (and polluting) batteries and spend idle time charging.

The city I live in ponders EV-Trolleybus hybrid. I can routinely see them minding their business with poles down. Still I'm not really sure if they'll waste a lot of time manually setting it up and down and whether pure EV is a better idea.

As a US Citizen of Indian origin, I can confirm this. For the past couple of years, whenever I travel to India, I don't even feel a difference in terms of Internet access. JIO specially has been a game changer.

Long way to go with many other basic necessities but when it comes to Internet/Telecom, I am super impressed.

I recall an example from earlier in my career where an employer was looking to prune bad apples in the company.

They failed to deliver the news correctly, and although many knew in their hearts it wouldn't affect them, we were all professionals, majority engineers, and used a logical thought process to resolve it internally;

The news didn't specify who wouldn't be affected, and although the intended number was meant to be rather low (half a dozen people) in a ~100 person company, everyone started looking for other jobs to cover themselves.

Everyone has bills to pay etc and it's unwise not to plan ahead. Logically thinking, there was no harm in having a backup plan.

Well, come time to prune, the expected numbers are pruned, and then, the unexpected (to the employer) happened, tens more people left.

The bad news had given everyone with the "get-up-and-go" a kick to look elsewhere and realise actually we were all being mistreated. The company quickly lost some of their best talent.

Their total coal consumption is rising again.[1] US coal use as a percentage of its energy base is far too high at ~30%. China is twice that at 60%.

When you have the extraordinary financial resources that China has and your coal use is climbing despite nearly consuming more coal than the rest of the world combined, it's not enough to add renewable energy, you must aggressively remove coal. China isn't doing that and they never said they would. Their public plans include decades more of coal consumption near present levels.

Greater Asia Pacific is consuming four times the coal of the US and EU combined (representing nearly $40 trillion of GDP).

Not really fixing it thou because they just strip the www part from the name. If the developer does not setup www.domain.com and the user goes there chrome will not “fix” anything.

I haven’t tested it but it will most likely show up as domain.com in the address bar and will result in an error show to the customer.

If chrome wants to strip www as it’s essentially the same domain.com they can submit an RFC and not just decide for everyone. Honestly I hope they start making more stupid decisions like this so ppl move to Firefox so we have more competition.

>proven

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Even with fasting it's not like it (or the bacteria in your gut) stops, it just changes for a bit.

Nutrition "science" is currently most-accurately applied with scare-quotes intact. Much can be learned and life can be improved by available information, but practically nothing is proven concisely. Broadly I agree with you - light fasting appears mostly beneficial from what I've seen - but under no circumstances can you accurately claim it is proven, and even "tangentially beneficial" / "being proven" is overwhelmingly up for debate.

And tbh I'm not sure how molting jives with sexual selection. Maybe? But how in the world do you prove that's relevant in humans?

Buses also contribute the beepbeepbeepbeep and PSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH and "Pedestrian, bus is turning" sounds. Living across from a bus stop, I all but ignored each of these.

My city soundscape has mostly hidden the sound of engines, save the rare Harley or Hemi. The sounds that penetrate the air (for me) are of both buses and cars blasting horns, music blaring, tires screeching, and the zooming of cars through air. That, and people taking loudly/yelling/screaming, the sounds of barking dogs, car alarms, fire truck/ambulance/police sirens, and air conditioners kicking on next door, and of course sounds from neighboring apartments.

But that's nice that the buses run quieter now.

That was basically the first thing I told my sister when she moved in after our mum passed away a few months ago: "No matter which mistake you make, tell us. We won't punish you for that. However, if you lie to us, there will be some sort of punishment."

So far, it seems to work out, as she's getting more and more open, and talks to us about her feelings, her day, etc. Something that wasn't possible in the very first beginning. She also admits mistakes she does, and starts to ask for help more often - not as much as we'd like, but... yeah. Hopefully, that will be better over the next months.
