With IBM's mechanical switches, it's the same mechanism causing actuation and tactile feedback. With some modern mechanical switches, they're separate mechanisms, which means that they can disagree slightly. For example, with the Matias Quiet Click switches that I'm currently using, the actuation point is actually slightly past the tactile feedback (you can see it in this graph: https://input.club/the-comparative-guide-to-mechanical-switc... )

Buckling spring (and beam spring) switches have a tactile drop, where the tactile feedback is that the force required to press the key drops off at the actuation point. See what that looks like here: https://input.club/the-comparative-guide-to-mechanical-switc... (that's actually the Model F; the M was essentially a cheap flimsy version of the F, if you can believe that: https://input.club/the-comparative-guide-to-mechanical-switc... ).

Compare that to most modern mechanical switches, which have a tactile bump, where the tactile feedback is that the force required to press the key spikes up right before the actuation point, then returns to previous levels. The "standard" mechanical switch of today is the Cherry MX Blue, which shows this very clearly: https://input.club/the-comparative-guide-to-mechanical-switc...

These are 2 very different feels.

The "hip" new switches these days are NovelKeys' Box switches, some of which have tactile feedback more like IBM's, though the drop is less sharp: https://input.club/the-comparative-guide-to-mechanical-switc...

I haven't tried the Box switches yet, but of any of the switches I've tried, based on typing experience: I'd take IBM over anything else. That said, I switched to Matias Quiet Click a while ago, because I'm pretty sure my office mate would have killed me if I brought my Model M in to work.

I didn't miss your point. Your point was invalid. You were assuming that OP was entirely unfamiliar with functional or logic programming, and that functional or logic programming snippets would be unintelligible to them. You had no reason for these assumptions.

> Strange because they published a paper about adding constraints years ago

Ah thanks, I did not know that. The point above still stands, though: Adding an extension to what calls itself a "logic/functional" language does not make it into only a constraint logic programming language.

Great to see this. I liked using Chicken on Linux, but unfortunately for me, I am on Windows and do not like using Cygwin or Mingw to compile it for Windows. There is no current MSVS solution as far as I know for now. I use Racket, Extempore [1], and I play with Shen [2] for my lispy appetite. Shen has been ported to Chez Scheme, which is also what Racket is being re-written in (sort of).

This is the sort of arrogance that really pisses people off. It's one thing to come to a foreign country and be given the opportunity to partake in their economy.

It's another to bring your biases, cultural habits without considering well ahead of time how it will be perceived by the host country and it's citizens.

Saying shit like Americans are fat and lazy never work 14 to 15 hours,this sort of immature, ignorant, childish mentality is not going to be tolerated like in China, where the have nots have been literally coerced into an surveillance prison, and the threat of parting with their organs keeps them working 14~15 hours a day.

Fuck Wesley Chan and god bless United States of America. If Americans are lazy its because their leaders have done a good fucking job (at the expense of weaker nations riddled with US debts). Blame Winnie, for having to work so hard China.

Statistics establish a correlation between a child having been spanked and the child growing up into a stupid and/or violent adult. Correlation is not causation.

The alternative to corporal punishment most commonly offered is to "reason with your child". (That's bunk from the outset. We don't let children vote or drive cars exactly because they are unreasonable.) But what do you do if your child is too violent or too stupid to reason with? You hit it anyway. The causation may be there, but it goes in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, the alternatives offered in linked articles (e.g. https://www.healthychildren.org/English/family-life/family-d...) sound counterproductive. No conflict has ever been resolved by "actively ignoring" someone or something (it's an oxymoron anyway). The future studies investigating the long term effect of that kind of passive-aggressive behavior will be interesting.

(Just in case someone jumps to conclusions: I don't have children.)

No, he's a VC so he's probably 100% serious. VC's aren't going to fund founders who think they can build a successful business by limiting themselves 8-to-5 and 40 hours a week.

Another famous VC Mike Moritz of Sequoia Capital expressed the same praise about working hard like the Chinese.[1] Famous seed investor Ron Conway has said similar qualifications of a founder. ("Well I mean are you willing to work 24/7? The really great entrepreneurs are 24/7.")[2]

Likewise, if you're an entrepreneur that prioritizes the principle of "work/life balance" and 40-hours-a-week, VCs are not the right investor for you.

Another important and related question to ask is what role Lua should play in writing drivers and applications on top of a new kernel.

Agree, but I also read this as a little condescending towards Chinese workers.

We tend to attribute their success to corruption, exploitation, or brute-force (given their population). But, could it be that they have something going for them? Maybe they are as capable as we are, as productive as we are, and also are putting the extra work.

Don't get me wrong, I believe this is totally unhealthy for individuals. But it doesn't seem unreasonable for me that a highly capable and motivated individual would indeed produce more in 16 than in 8 hours, health and normal life aside.
The idea was that the service should not compete directly with the "big data" guys. It should be really, really simple and for small-to-medium scale usage (in terms of number of data points stored). But having said that, I am definitely not sure about 1000 data points being a reasonable free level. We will see I guess. Perhaps you're right that a minimum free tier should let people save at least a couple of days worth of data with 1-minute resolution. I don't know, but was afraid that if I set the paywall too high, noone would upgrade. It is easier to raise a paywall (i.e. become more generous) when you realize it is set too low, than the reverse. And the same goes for the business tiers - I have no idea if they're right or not. I just think that the people who do store billions and billions of data points are much better served going to the "big data" guys, or setting up their own, in-house db. They are not likely customers for pushdata.io even if I let them store a ton more data, because they'll have much higher demands on functionality also. I think pushdata.io is for small-to-medium scale usage, and one hope/belief I have is that people and companies often start out small, when they start collecting data, then their needs grow over time. Initially many probably just want to get started, and want a simple storage solution quickly. If they choose pushdata.io they are then likely to upgrade their account until they outgrow the service, which is when they'll move their data somewhere else. I'm fine with that. Many will never reach that point probably, or pushdata will be developed to support larger-scale usage. This is V1.0, after all :)

The system will keep all data that is inserted, but to the user it will appear as a FIFO that deletes the oldest points. If you upgrade your account, however, you will gain access to old data that is stored, that you couldn't see before upgrading.

It's an interesting idea to charge business users for usage instead of forcing them into a tier. The only issue is that you'll then have to provide them with detailed information on their usage, meaning a bit of work making sure things are logged properly and then turned into invoices. But it's definitely an interesting idea.

And I really appreciate the straight feedback. It is the best kind of feedback. Thanks.

Knowing nothing of aviation myself, I imagine it's the same reason people prefer stick shift over automatic transmission in cars, and command line over GUIs in Unix OSes. It's a matter of favouring superusers/powerusers by leaving them with maximum control of what they want the machine to do. Often times, making a system user-friendly means loss of control and ability to make the machine work its best for you.

Interesting. I work in LA, and Tesla's are already passe in the entertainment, music, and sports industries. If you still drive a Tesla, it means you weren't on the waitlist for the Jaguar i-PACE. Executives are already bragging about preordering the Porsche Taycan.

Having ridden in every model Tesla and test-driven an i-PACE, Tesla should be terrified. The i-PACE doesn't have the range or acceleration of a Tesla, but everything else about the car--including, most importantly, ride comfort (this is LA, after all...0 to 60 speed is irrelevant in rush hour traffic)--is miles ahead of what Tesla can muster.

Unprovable statements. Not paradoxical statements. Paradoxes confound the reader, but can be explained as either being true or false due to rules that were implicitly used to construct the statement. Once all the steps are explicitly shown, with each rule that applies at each step, there is no more paradox.

On the other hand, unprovable statements never make it to the "but can be explained" stage: either the formal system is consistent, and these expressions by definition cannot have an answer, or they can be answered but the formal system is demonstrably inconsistent.

The formal system also needs to be a little more precise than "significantly expressive": it needs to allow for self-referential expressions. In effect, it must be possible to create an expression that can be mapped to the natural language sentence "This statement has no proof in this formal system".

While in natural language puzzles that might be a fun paradox to try to figure out, where the challenge is to determine whether, given the rules of the context, the answer is actually "true" or "false", when it comes to Godel sentences for formal systems there is never a paradox. Either they are undecidable, or the formal system is inconsistent. And we don't get an "out" by saying "but in reality, the answer is ..." because the whole point of formal systems is to be self-contained. There is nothing "outside" of them that we can use to make claims about expressions within that formal system. We only get the axioms of the formal system itself.

The amount of information embedded in leap-awareness would be significantly different. Right now DST is modelled as two different time zones that are switched between. If you want to handle it the same way, I guess you'd need 365 (366?) "time zones" per time zone. I can't see how you can argue that's not a significant implementation difference.
> You were assuming that OP was entirely unfamiliar with functional or logic programming, and that functional or logic programming snippets would be unintelligible to them. You had no reason for these assumptions.

No I didn't. I exhaustively covered all cases: "If you're familiar with constraint LP, then you don't need this sort of snippet, and if you're not familiar with it, I don't think any such snippet would be intelligible to you without hard work."

The first clause says that the high-level description as a LP language suffices if you're already familiar with such a concept and so snippets aren't of much use, and if you're not, then a snippet wouldn't help you anyway.

You are expecting some change in G-force due to changing to AP, you don't necessarily feel the start of the drop and once descent is consistent, it won't feel that alarming, add to that the fact that you think the AP is correctly set and you have confirmation bias and won't notice anything wrong.

Doubtful. It's less about verbatim translation of text from one language to another, and more about changing your product's design + data architecture to accomodate the possibility of more than one language. It's a lot of overhead. You now need to answer questions like: "Do I need to add a dropdown to select languages? How would I store the different texts for each language for different parts of my product? How would I have to change the visual design of my product now that I have to account for translations in other languages being wider / narrower than my core language? What about right-to-left languages?"
