> BYD is neither one of the largest car makers of China

Off-topic note: BYD used to be the largest Chinese passenger car maker in 2008-2013 but has declined significantly in recent years compared to competition. It's still #1 for EV car sales global though (Chinese bought 4x more EVs than US).

I don't understand trackpoint. I've tried flat & adaptive pressure profiles and a mix of different sensitivities.

I always overshoot what I'm trying to click on a tiny bit. With a macbook touchpad, that just doesn't happen at all.

Also, it feels like the force and dexterity to use a trackpoint puts a bit too much pressure on my finger.

I've tried using a trackpoint for a while. I desperately regret switching my corp laptop from a macbook to thinkpad several months ago. Linux is nice, but now I have to deal with this really shitty trackpad for over another year until my refresh.
No, again you're thinking of "static", not "strong".

Strong versus weak is historically poorly defined, and there's no single universally-accepted definition, but you can get the gist of it from considering the following:

a = '1'
b = 2
c = a + b

In JavaScript, the above code results in the name 'c' being bound to the string value '12'. In Python, the above code raises TypeError. Generally, "weak" typing refers to the idea that the language may coerce the values of operands to other types in order to make an operation succeed (in the above, JavaScript coerced the value of 'b' to a string and interpreted the '+' operator as asking for string concatenation, hence the result is the string '12'). "Strong" typing generally means the language won't do that, and will error out on you if you attempt an operation on values of incompatible types.

"Static" versus "dynamic" typing is a completely different set of terms. There's also some debate over definitions, but broadly, consider the following expression:

a = 1

In a statically-typed language, both the name 'a' and the value 1 have types, and in order to bind names to values their types must be compatible. So in the above, it's likely that both 'a' and 1 are of type int, so the assignment expression would be legal. Later attempting to bind 'a' to a value of a type incompatible with int (say, 'a = "foo"') would fail. Statically-typed languages also come with an expectation that all expressions can be checked for compatible types without needing to execute the code, and that a tool will exist to do this checking for you.

In a dynamically-typed language, however, only values have types; names do not, so binding a name to a value of a particular type does not foreclose later re-binding to a value of a different type (i.e., the name 'a' might be bound to an int now, and get re-bound to a string later). This means there will be cases in a dynamically typed language where the only way to verify correctness of an expression is to execute the code (though you can usually check a high percentage without running the code).

Python is strongly typed and dynamically typed.
This sounds like a much less general binctr [0].

I don't see how warp handles the most trivial case of a dynamically linked executable; I see no references to patchelf or other such tricks to ensure it looks within the application's cache directory for dynamically linked libraries, nor do I see any mount namespaces.

Does warp do that? Why would I use warp if it doesn't when there are more generic solutions that can handle such a case, namely binctr, docker, guix pack, nix....

Everybody should timestamp all articles.

People don't want to because they want their content to be "evergreen" and they think that if there's a date that's more than a year or so old, people will disregard / discount the content. So by default many blog CMSs default to not showing the date of any articles.
People like the simplicity of the file/folder paradigm. That said, it may make sense to build your OS's file/folder abstraction on top of a more powerful database system. The ad-hoc, user-oriented nature of filesystems causes lots of problems when you try to build reliable software on top of them. There's no reason an app's internal network cache (for example) needs to be stored in the same way as a folder of user-facing documents.
"The market deciding" doesn't necessarily mean new entrants.

I'd mostly worry that adding too many restrictions prevents existing airlines from coming up with innovative programs & business models that benefit everyone by realigning incentives — getting to the gate earlier, checking even small bags rather than dragging a huge roller onboard and holding up the boarding process, etc.

That said, these particular regulations don't seem particularly onerous.
Creating value. It sounds abstract but so far it's proven to be the most reliable and incontrovertible motivating ethos in my career. When you adopt a value-creation mindset, it washes into the calculus of just about every decision you make.

So, for example, if you're an early-stage company, a value-oriented mindset will lead you to the most efficient approach to get a working MVP. You might think about how you'll evolve the system, but you won't do something stupid like try to manage a complex Kubernetes deployment from the outset. You'll be careful not to introduce too many components into the system, understanding how even things that appear simple invariably affect the total risk profile of your system and, by extension, your business. You proceed in a manner such that the tech is responsive to and mirrors the business' requirements.

In data analysis, you won't go down stupid rabbit holes asking questions with answers that no one would care about. You'll prefer reliable, grokable statistical modeling on larger datasets to say using a deepnet to fit noise on a gratuitously tiny sample. You'll understand and accept that there are often questions you simply cannot accurately answer with the information available to you. You'll do the sometimes monotonous work of helping to instrument your business with metrics, because you understand that a business that can't quantify itself is effectively DoA (and therefore good instrumentation is among the highest value contributions you can make).

Honestly, I've discovered that the technical problems are nearly irrelevant. There's almost always a way. It's deterministic. What's so much more important is knowing how to identify the best use of your effort to drive value. The 10x engineer, in my mind, is someone who knows how to avoid blackhole projects and shitty decisions that eat up resources in exchange for a paltry or highly indeterminate return.

Note the above is largely relevant to resource-constrained businesses, which is most orgs other than maybe FAANG and similar.

Interesting trend I'm noticing with Facebook data controversies: 3rd parties are exploiting Facebooks connectedness to exponentially scale the # of accounts targeted by an attack.

Both Cambridge Analytica and these hackers were able to launch a successful attack on a relatively small number of accounts and through Facebook's graph like network were able to leverage the initial attack to affect more people.

Social networks mirror real life networks; they can be attacked with virus like tendencies.

Lactase persistence is the name of the trait that makes a person tolerant of lactose:

And I’m not sure what you thought I said, but I’m not arguing that milk consumption is great. Well, not in the post you responded to; I do think milk is pretty amazing. All I was saying is that it is an example of humans evolving adaptations to their diets.

But on the topic of milk consumption: there may be drawbacks, but the gene for lactase persistence is one of the fastest spreading genes in recent history. Consuming milk was an utter (there’s a pun to be made here, but I will exercise restraint) game changer for Northern Europeans. Even today, milk is an amazing source of well-balanced nutrition. It’s cheap, easy to consume, and pretty tasty at room temperature.

If it doesn’t cause explosive things to happen to your intestines, that is.

I was a bit disappointed that this article did not offer more practical examples of the ties between the development of mathematics and the history of ideas in general.

For instance, the vision of mathematicians like Hilbert and Russell of a cohesive mathematics defined from first principles seems a very Victorian notion that the universe is knowable if you simply search hard enough. It's the same enlightment frame of mind that resulted in intellectual creations like the Oxford English Dictionary.

Similarly the results of Gödel, Church, Turing, and others showing the limits of mathematical consistency seem of a piece with the confounding discoveries of Quantum physics, which replaced the static models of classical physics. They seem to correspond with a darker vision of the limitations of human intellect that emerge in abstract art and poetry like Eliot's 'The Wasteland' around the same time.

If you push this too far you end up sounding like an idiot (perhaps this is already there) but there are clearly discernible connections across science, art, literature, and politics both now and deep into the past. It might be a personal projection but Brahms concertos always strike me as the music of a people who believed in an orderly, Newtonian universe and upheld the static political order of the Ancien Regime.

At the end of the day most intellectuals read the same books and attend the same salons, however defined. There is continuous cross-fertilization between different realms of thought. The resulting connections are there if you just look for them.
>While I agree with you that the threat model may or may not be very relevant for your usage, I disagree that just because you're on an old/minority version you'll be less likely to get pwned.

It's not quite that - the context of where the attack is coming from is important.

A site that has been compromised isn't the same threat as visiting an actively (and always) malicious website which isn't the same threat as downloading and opening files which isn't the same threat as downloading new software, installing, and running it.

If I ran Javascript, I'd have a different threat model. If I regularly downloaded files or software, I'd have a different threat model. If I browsed every website I come across like some sort of a web crawler, I'd have a different threat model.

When I think of ES6 I think of this statement:

“Appreciation of beauty is taste and the creation of beauty is art.”

ES6 is lacking in all forms of taste and art is never the product of design by committee.
Turing - On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem - 1937

Shannon - A Mathematical Theory of Communication - 1948

Shannon calculated the entropy of arbitrary symbol systems over noisy communication channels, and made some first steps towards practical data compression algorithms.

Turning formalised the concept of computability using an abstraction of a mechanised logic system.

I'd say Turing wins easily - we still say logical systems are Turing Complete rather than Shannon Compatible.

Drop out the ability part. Let's focus on a pure luck scenario: Take 2 dice (2d6) and roll them. You get a 12. What is more probable on your next roll? Another 12 or a 7?

With regard to the race, if you do really well, much better than your average, without any fundamental change to your ability that's the same as rolling a 12. It's an unlikely (though possible) event that happened to occur. Over a series of races, however, we would not anticipate a repeat of that performance (that is, it's a low probability event, and a series of such low probability events has even lower probability).

The gambler's fallacy goes the other way. It's the belief that if we've had a string of bad luck [0], then we should wager on good luck being around the corner. That is, the gambler assumes a low probability event is "inevitable" after a series of high probability events. Regression to the mean: A high probability event should be anticipated after a low probability event.

[0] In gambling this usually means getting close to the average, that is: the average hand is the lowest valued hand, the rarest hand is the highest valued. So a gambler making this fallacy would wager on seeing a royal flush after several hundred hands of only seeing pairs.

I think it's a good idea. I'd look into eventually putting the memes on an Ethereum sidechain that enables low/zero cost transactions, like one of Loom's DappChains or the POANetwork.

Also, I'd look into making the memes non-fungible ERC721 tokens, to enable transferrence/trading.
I guess I'm conditioned to think of fast food in terms of drive-through. Even KFC has a lot of stuff on the menu that can be easily eaten in a car. Taco joints are the same way. Heck, the Greek place I mentioned was a drive-through.

Any contributing factor outside your base ability. Weather (too hot, too cold, just right), mental state (did someone put you on edge, sleep poorly), etc.

So some of those are more or less under your control. Maybe you can control your mental state better than me. Me, a particularly stressful day at work doesn't lend to the quiet mind I need for a run. Those are my 36 minute 5km days. But nicer weather, seeing the geese on the pond as they migrate, can put my mind at ease even on those stressful days and I might pull off one of my faster runs. I can't control that.

Why should this have anything to do with wind. It would seem to me that he conservation of cross sectional area is because all the capillaries need to go from root to leaf.

If the area above a branching point was more than below then how would those capillaries going up to the leaves be fed?

If the area above a branching point were less than blow then how would the capillaries going down to the roots be fed?

Remember the roots fees the leaves and the leaves feed the roots. So it needs to be a balanced system.
The bloomberg article links an inc.com [0] article outlining some incidents of people interfering with flight crew. None of these seem like the sort of thing where the perpetrator stops and weights the potential punishment vs how much they want to interfere with the crew.

One person was drunk, one person decided to respond to a request to put her tray table away by calling the flight attendant the n word.

Burgers have between 20-40 grams of protein, from optimal sources of protein (i.e., beef). A serving or two of vegetables in the form of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Maybe vitamin D if mushrooms are included. Fiber, in the form of bread, and possible trace vitamins and minerals if using wheat bread.

Doesn't sound at all like empty calories to me. Considering that most raw vegetables have poor bioavailability (so most of the nutrients you eat from raw foods don't get absorbed), I would posit that a good burger is healthier than 90% of raw food meals...And moreover, than you could simply add the raw food to a burger to make it instantly superior to any equivalent raw food meal of the same weight/mass or calorie count.

It is amazing how closely this matches my experiences.
