I've been thinking about the more general problem of feature/solution discoverability lately.

Sometimes people will stumble onto solutions, or someone they know will mention them, or they will actually be bothered enough to search for a solution. But it pains me to think of all the instances of problems that could be avoided if we could do a better job of bridging the knowledge gap.

That applies to me too when I discover something and wish I had known about it far earlier. I try to actively search for solutions, but sometimes you aren't even aware that something is a problem.

You are right, the most stolen cars list always includes the top sellers, Civic, Accord, Camry Corolla(#8).

https://www.nicb.org/news/news-releases/2017-hot-wheels-repo...

It might just be because those models sell the most, so there are more around to be stolen, or maybe there is more demand for stolen parts because they sell more.
I admire your optimistic view of how many users would read such a manual when all they want to know is why doesn't this code do what it's supposed to and can you hurry I need this by 5 pm?

I have mixed feelings about this move. On one hand I like that Mozilla gets additional source of income to support their mission. Plus people will certainly benefit from using a vpn service.
On the other hand though this will redirect people to a particular provider that may not necessarily meet their needs. Proton VPN offers a decent service, but not sure if the best one. I'd be much more comfortable with this if they were suggesting multiple different providers.

And let's not forget that this is also a jump into the abyss of in-browser ads that may be difficult to block even with an add-on. From the screenshots it seems that FF analyzes your behavior (connection to an unprotected network) and displays the ad based on that. I fear what's going to happen when Chrome team picks this idea (e.g. "we see that you are logging into a bank X, how about you try bank Y?")
Because that's not safe. It's only as safe as the Python binding is, which is not good enough.

Offhand, I can think of maybe a handful of instances where trouble was made by applying the CoC to someone's behavior, either rightly or wrongly. To me, it's seemed that the "trouble" that comes is when a project decides to adopt a CoC, and several members protest agains the idea of having one.
If there're other categories aside from 'initial' and 'long-term', then it isn't necessarily a contradiction... But it is confusing in any case.

Apple products, as far as I can remember, do not come with any sort of manual describing the nifty little shortcuts that they have.

My biggest gripe with Apple products is that usability is a freaking treasure hunt.
I had a Vive. In a game running well, where the only movement was my own (i.e. walking around my room), I did not get motion sick.

However, when anything glitched (frame drops, tracking errors, etc.), I'd get sick. Even worse, any game with artificial motion (such as walking with the trackpad), would make me SUPER sick very fast. Teleporting was generally OK, but still not great.

I say this as someone that thinks VR will be a huge success, but it's definitely still early.

I've been using Python as my go-to language for a while.

It works well and I feel like I understand the basics, but pipenv, pyenv, pip etc. seem needlessly complex. Especially when I'm trying to create a serverless framework package, or upload a zip to AWS Lambda. Never know what tool to use to install packages, or how to specify the python version... or even change the python version on my Mac. Homebrew Python, system python, virtualenv?

Would love it if I could find one simple way to do all of this, but always seem to run into issues and have to use another method.

How do the professionals do it? Do you know if any good guides?
I'll never ever understand the point of the "yes, but this" way of criticise on something.

It always looks to me like when you are arguing with somebody that is thinking exactly like you, but you don't get each other because wording. In which way the fact that people are raising their voices as a consequence of the brutal murder of this journalist make Yemen people less important? And most of all is this really matters?

I think this situation is slightly different and worth of notice, because is not just a murder, is a way for UAE to show off power and give a notice to all the other dissidents that they can reach them and get along without any consequences. This is a threat.

I've found that the policies on StackOverflow are at odds with my motivation for providing answers. There are two main motivators for me, working on interesting problems and helping other human beings. The interesting problems are few and far between, so helping others has to do. As you can see from this post, the system has been rigged so that the goal of helping the individual is completely deemphasized to the point where it's actively hostile.
Sure - it was a dumb move on Mozilla's part.

But keep in mind that while it was pushed out into people's browsers in a stupidly-lacking-in-foresight fashion, it still required use activation before it'd do anything...

Not really. 7nm and 10nm are just marketing names. Intel's 10nm (if it ever comes out) seems comparable to TSMC's 7nm (TSMC is the company Apple uses to build iPhone chips).

This is more of TSMC pulling ahead of everyone. No one has a working next-generation fabrication process yet aside from TSMC. Intel is delaying 10nm, Samsung is delaying 7nm, and GloFo is literally out of the race. They gave up.

If you don't believe in (or criticise) the faith of Intersectionality, then you are subject to persecution and expulsion. There's a very disturbing parallel with the beliefs and aims of militant SJWs and the some of the worst aspects of religious intolerance. CoCs such as the "contributor covenant" are a way of enforcing these beliefs as some kind of religious document, in effect. This makes the SQLite CoC a humourous parody of this type of CoC, being an actual religious document; this is one reason for the "outrage": religion doesn't like fun being poked at it.
My sarcasm was to make a point. The way for retail to combat Amazon is not to become even more annoying and give people reasons to not want to go to a store. People value convenience a lot. Hence Facebook's rise despite their shenanigans. If you insist on doing the nefarious you must make certain to make it convenient. Retail stores shoot themselves in the foot with their annoying behavior because they are neither more convenient or less annoying.

I've resolved myself to the fact that I live in a surveillance world now. My goal is to limit the knowledge to as few companies as possible. What I'm not willing to do is to be annoyed whilst giving my information to stupid retail stores.
Small amounts of it are being done, most farms have been no till for years for example, cover crops are the norm now instead of some weird fringe thing, stuff like that. It is not done to a greater extent for two reasons. One is because it is a business and the primary (often sole) concern is making money, so anything that isn't the normal way of doing things is avoided. There are serious financial incentives to not try anything better. In order to actually get a pay out on your crop insurance if your crop fails, you have to have followed all the "approved practices" to the letter. So if it says "spray your potatoes with fungicide every 5 days" and you can't prove that you did, you lose a few hundred thousand dollars this year. This sort of thing makes it hard to change even if you want to.

Second, there's active intent to prevent people from knowing how to do things better. Almost all agricultural inputs are produced by a small number of large corporations. If farmers knew they could cut their fertilizer to 10% of what they buy now, stop buying pesticides, and spend less on fuel those corporations would lose a lot of business. So they pay "agronomists" and "soil scientists" to mislead farmers and keep them on the treadmill. There's lots of very deliberate FUD about organic agriculture, permaculture, etc, and when you've got millions of dollars invested in land and equipment, a little doubt goes a long way.
Do you know of any farms like that which do tours, or areas where there are a lot of people operating like that?

Modern agricultural technology sounds fascinating.
Woah! Looks like it is. https://doubleapex.co.za/schaeffler-audi-4e-performance-conc...
I am older, ~40, and my relationship with technology changed over time. I'm no longer eager to learn a new interface as I was when I was younger. When I was younger a shiny thing would make me excited, take my eye and sort of fool me that this new thing is cool. I'd be excited to learn what the new thing was all about. I'd spend a few hours and figure it out. Back then apple was winning big with consistent and intuitive interfaces, operations.
As I got older i started to prioritize what I want to learn in a different way. Now all I want from the phone is to be a tool, not the other way around. A good tool but not something I have to learn over and over. And especially when I know these changes were made for.. the sake of change, to sort of give the impression of innovation I'm even less incentivized to take a course to teach me how to use a phone. And most of the time these changes make my life harder... e.g. remove the tactile button trend. I'm willing to bet that the 1 button will return at some point as an "innovation". Someone here mentioned the mental maps that people build when learning a system. If you mess with that mental map for a few generations you end up with frustrated users. We know what game these companies are playing: force people to upgrade through planned obsolesce. If it's real upgrades such as better performing cameras, faster ram, etc, I will eventually upgrade. But if they're forcing these changes through updates that we cannot turn off, we have a problem.
This is true in the sense that there is no nice safe straight path up a hard to climb mountain.

There are going to be ups and downs. And yes we are fucking things up right now, because exploiting each other is easier than helping each other climb. But its all part of learning. The more we fuck up the more we learn how not to fuck up. And have learnt a lot. About human behavior thanks to trump and brexit. If tech and psychology can mislead entire populations by pushing a couple buttons, it can also do the opposite. Those buttons are being cooked up as we speak.

I don't think we are going to have any more great world wars (people around the world aren't as desperate to enroll in the military as they once were for employment) but we are going to have huge shocks to the system that will force us each time to learn from our fuck ups. It's not going to be a nice pleasant stroll up the mountain. But human nature is to climb nonetheless.

When your latest understanding is based on new evidence consistent with and supportive of your previous understanding, then it is a confirmation. It really isn't necessary to blindly hedge on what we know unless you're willing to call into question the concept of knowledge itself.

Perhaps you could start out building your data model using an existing language? That'd give you the chance to experiment with the semantics, and figure out what you need to express in your DSL in a fairly rigorous way.

Once you've nailed that, you could start playing with syntaxes that could be compiled to that data model. Some sort of declarations and then expressions for "outfits", maybe?

Have you considered using Prolog? I'm no expert, but that was my first thought for tackling this kind of problem.

This may have just decided it for me.

I drive a 16yo car w/a 5-speed H-pattern manual which still runs great (100mph is just seconds away anytime, 7500Lb towing capacity), and am considering whether to go forward or retro, or just fully refurbish this SAV. I love driving, have held racing licenses & won races & championships, but also look forward to self-driving cars with the current state of traffic.

In a traffic jam today, I thought it'd be really nice to have Tesla's automatic lane-keeping & follow tech.

Yet this kind of intrusive tracking and trying to force yet more targeted advertising at us is just sickening.

There's nothing new with the kind of specs that I have in my garage right now, and the only downside is requiring 91octane petrol and getting only 21-25mpg.

It is clear that we cannot trust the major manufacturers to not engage in this tracking&targeting nonsense. Tesla does track very extensively, but I don't think they're interested in advertising to us or selling our data -- but how long will that last?

On the one hand, I really want self-driving cars with the current congested traffic that is no fun. But on the other hand, I feel like I might be one of the last holdout curmudgeons with a standard shift and round steering wheel as human driving becomes illegal.

> profit-loss sharing

We have a term for this, it is called “equity financing.” The alternative is called “debt financing.” Islamic orthodoxy effectively banishes debt financing (unless done at zero interest), while offering equity financing as the solution. But it is not a solution at all.

Suppose that I need to purchase a vehicle, in order to drive to work every day (let’s say I live in a country where public transportation is non-existent, e.g. Saudi Arabia). Without a vehicle, I cannot earn a living. However, to purchase a car I need a large amount of cash, which most people don’t have. The normal solution is debt, i.e. borrow money to finance the purchase of a vehicle, and pay back the lender over time with interest. Everyone wins.

But ... Islam forbids such a transaction. Under true Sharia law, I need to either find a lender who is willing to offer me a zero interest loan so I can buy a car, or I need to find someone who is willing to enter into a “profit/loss sharing” arrangement (whatever that means).

Now nobody is willing to lend money for free (especially not oil rich Islamists who oppose non-Sharia Finance). There are a couple reasons why nobody lends money for free (time value of money, credit risk), but it should be quite obvious that no one will lend me money at zero interest to buy a car.

What about “profit/loss sharing?” Well, I do use the car to earn money (by driving to work). It would be wonderful if we could all pay x% of my monthly salary as a car payment. That means if I earn less, I pay less for my car. If I lose my job, I don’t have to pay anything. If I earn more, I pay more for car payments (for the same car). This has some very obvious problems. It might be good for some consumers who have a modest income, but wealthy consumers would not like this. Moreover, no lender would ever be willing to enter into such an arrangement. It’s completely unworkable. You can say the same for other personal loans, like mortgages and student loans.

So what actually happens in “Sharia Compliant Banking” is that Islamic banks lend money at a fixed rate of interest (just like conventional banks) but they disguise the interest using combinations of legal instruments. Christians in medieval Europe did something very similar (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contractum_trinius). One consequence of this legal gymnastics is that Islamic bank consumers have fewer legal protections. For example, an “Islamic mortgage” requires you to hand over title of your house to the Islamic bank. This is different and less advantageous to a conventional mortgage where you retain the title to your property.

Nope, though I am familiar with that, too. At least in my experiences with hypnogogia I have some "control" or at least a feeling of control over what is happening to some extent. Or maybe it is better to describe it as being a more sequential experience than the other one I am describing.

Maybe if one is to stay conscious during hypnogogia for longer than I ever have they would experience a similar thing? There just always seems to be some bias in hypnagogia steered by and experienced by my consciousness in first person. In the other experience it is really more like I am an outside observer.

Sure, but even with a bulk rate is it economically worth it for them to do so? My understanding is that the current trend in massive data collection has been viable because they've externalized significant costs (i.e. consumers paying for devices and data.) If the company collecting it has to start footing the bill for the data plan, does it still work for most of them? I don't doubt this will change over the long term but am skeptical that it will be in the next 10 years at least... would love to hear if I'm wrong on this. If it does, then I suppose the way to go would be the hardware hack: snip off/ground/shield the antenna or otherwise disrupt/jam it...
