A while back I told my friends "in the next 5 years a major European city will ban non EV. And if it's a success, the flood gates will open and there will be no way back".

I'm surprised (and pleased) that this initiative is being implemented in Spain, since the infrastructure for supporting EVs there is less developed than other places (say, Germany). I sincerely wish it turns out to be a success, which would quickly accelerate similar initiatives in other places.

How to Add a Manufacturer in 3dcart
Long time ago I learned how the traits of "chivalry" were established.

The tradition of a knight (or chivalrous person) opening a door to let other pass first was a defensive measure. Doorways were good spots for assassination and getting stabbed with a dagger was a realistic threat.

So a knight allowed - possibly even forced - others to go through the doorways first. Even the tradition of hailing with your hand comes from the need to show to others that you were not wielding a weapon.

Chivalry. A foul word.
There's a classical book titled "How to Read a Book" by Mortimer Adler. It's about reading texts for information, arguments, etc., but not pleasure. The heart of it is to not read the book linearly from cover to cover. Ideally you'd do multiple passes, often non-linearly, at different speeds, skipping different parts, concentrating on different parts. You'd start with parts that are known to have most information, like introductions and conclusions, the table of contents. Then introducing and concluding paragraphs, then introducing and concluding sentences. All the meanwhile, you'll be getting a top-down view of the material and you'll be naturally honing in on the parts that are pertaining to you.

Reading mathematics has a whole series of additional challenges. In my limited experience with reading those: nurturing comfort in incomprehension is important; it's often better to skip a part than get stuck on it; look for multiple accounts of the same concept.
>To be frank, it surprises me that I can go around in my car still at all. Burning diesel to move people should be banned by now, especially with the market flooding with EVs.

Do you think everybody can afford to buy a new car, especially an EV?

The reason these bans are in place is because they are necessary, and they are necessary because most cars are old because most people can't afford to switch. It's effectively a tax on the poor.
I've done this and continue to run a couple products on Amazon.

BtrFS is ahead, sure, but the code is nasty garbage.

I encountered enough permanent BtrFS file system corruptions when the power would suddenly go out after a storm... which I thought should have been impossible with copy-on-write file systems that use extents... apparently not.

BCacheFS is looking far more stable, even this early in its development.
alright Daniel. No problem. My point was to mirror the comment from OP and make him/her see how ridiculous and one-sided it sounds. But I agree it isn't constructive and I do understand your points. I'll promise to stop all comments that might be considered offensive or political (off-topic) regardless of how I might feel about it. And I'm sincerely sorry if I've hurt or upset anyone.

I have witnessed the killing and burning of bodies from 120 Tamils in Sri Lanka, which went unreported in Western media. I have witnessed a guy stabbing another guy in the neck within a parang (coconut knife) as my first experience when globe-trotting (I just turned 19) during a religious dispute in Banda Aceh. I have seen dead bodies of Burmese fishermen while teaching an Open Water Scuba class in Thailand (they are used as slaves by the Thai and then thrown overboard). All this happened a long time ago but it has shaped me in a way that made me more angry. I'm not an academic and I'm not a native English speaker but nor am I an arm-chair philosopher. I do still suffer from PTSD of my experiences, but it's no excuse to make political comments here probably.

Again this isn't an excuse for myself, but I hope it gives context on why I feel more strongly and said the things I did. I'm happy to continue lurking and promise to cut political motivated arguments out in future.

There may be a way to hack this? That is, store declarative data into procedural memory, so that we never ever forget it?

But maybe there are not many memories that need to be preserved over a long period of time. I can't really think of anything that I would need to remember forever.
I don't mind the product mentions in videos, as long as they're relevant and relatively short.

For instance, Glenn Fricker (Spectre Sound) talks about music production on his channel, and he has a short "sponsored by" segment in most of his videos, about a music distribution service that gets your music onto just about every streaming service in one go. That's genuinely useful for his target audience, and there's a small signup fee rebate to be had. I usually skip over the 10 seconds or so now, but it's an example of appropriate sponsorship.

- Protest is a legitimate means of speech.

Not really, not in an academic context at least. Counter-arguments are a legitimate response to an argument, while protest is, at best, a way of expressing political disagreement: but academic discussion should strive to be as free as possible of politics. Maybe political protests against academic personalities and theses should simply be not allowed.
I own car but also take advantage of the transport networks.

What I really dislike with this kind of bans is the complete disregard how people can afford to reach their usual destinations with a fragile transport network, if at all.

One of the customer sites I used to travel to, takes 30m with the car and almost 2h with public transports.

Most chinese suppliers are very willing to make changes to the product too, so it's quite possible to make some small design tweaks to improve the quality of the product (I always rewrite all the instruction manuals to be real english, and sometimes add weights to plastic items so they don't feel 'cheap'). That can give your product an edge over competitors with minimal effort.

> Typically in programming you are presented with a piece of code, a statement that this piece of code solves a specific problem and then a proof of that it actually works.

Not really. It's quite unusual to see a serious formal approach.

I'm working through a book that uses C++. Every few pages I find undefined behaviour (struct punning, illegal use of memset to zero-out objects, etc) and needless usage of non-standard compiler-specific language features.

This is the well it works on my machine mindset used widely in programming, even in books written by highly qualified people.

> Those proofs are typically far from understandable or rigorous.

I'm not sure what kind of thing you're thinking of here. Can you give an example?

Yes, the biggest problem was the lack of integration* tests: you can get a false confidence that everything is working, but you only know that the individual cogs are built to spec, not that the machine is working.

Second problem was that refactoring became much harder, because the tests were deeply tied to the implementation (are methods X, Y and Z called with such and such arguments?).

* using the definition of "integration" as "integrating components of the project", not "integrating with external services" (which is the definition I personally prefer).

Well that's the usual view but it's based on random mutations so there must be some luck involved. A change of the make this muscle a bit bigger type may involve the equivalent of one bit flipping and so happen all the time but the mechanisms of intelligence may involve a much harder sequence to come up with. It's hard enough to program neural networks using code and tensor flow. Imagine having to do it by giving the DNA code to make some proteins that then have to construct an intricate 100bn neurone brain for you.

> Buying UPC codes from GS1. This requires filling out a registration form on GS1 and it costs 250$!

> Buying UPC codes from eBay or other websites. This is the easiest way and it costs only 2$ for a UPC code! I did little bit research and found out that many people are buying from eBay-like sites. So i decided to go with the second option.

DO NOT DO THIS. You will get banned from Amazon and the codes you bought will be worthless -- not just the money but the codes printed on the products that will have to be redone.

Registering with GS1 is the way to go if you're serious; the cost is usually much less than $250, depending on where you are and the size of your business; and then with the registration you can generate as many codes as you want.

Or you can register a brand with FBA, and then apply to have no codes; if you only sell on Amazon it's a good option. Your products will only need an FNSKU number than Amazon generates for you.

Getting the balance here is difficult. Pain inhibits recovery, and badly managed acute pain can precipitate chronic pain. However, strong pain killers are addictive.

That said, even the simple analgesics (paracetamol, ibuprofen) have their dangers and we have maximum dosing that should not be exceeded. Paracetamol overdose causes horrible liver damage (up to and including lethal damage), and NSAIDs can cause clotting issues post-surgery, gastrointestinal issues, etc.

I have to strongly disagree here. The source code itself - and not some proxy for it - must be made available.

Pseudocode is just another description of the approach the authors took. It doesn't allow another researcher to carefully recreate the exact experiment that the authors ran.

Software is famously hard to get right. This can be exacerbated by certain research problems where you don't know the result to expect (modelling, say). If you're going to publish results, the source you used should be available for inspection, for similar reasons to why mathematicians have to publish the proof, not just the conclusion plus a promise.

The upsides here are many: protecting science against software bugs, easier replication of experiments, better protection against academic fraud, and helping other researchers extend the work.

(I realise this last point may be at odds with toxic academic careerism. All the more reason for the publication process to insist on it.)

This appears to be a fairly arbitrary list of questions, and the categorizations (including the Junior and Middle lists linked at the bottom) are similarly arbitrary.

For example, some of the Middle questions seem to me more things a Junior should be asked, and vice versa.
Specifically, it asks about modulus operator in Middle but expects a Junior to identify the key features of Python.
I would seriously expect most beginners to have some idea about modulus, but next to no idea about key features.

At any rate, I very much prefer a short list of very open ended or very focused questions with lots of room to grow.
Like 3 to 5 questions should be able to fill an hour if they are good questions by my metrics.

For general questions, I like things like "What are the key features of the language?" but I phrase them as "What are your favorite parts of the language? Least favorite parts?"

Those answers are often very telling -- often Juniors will have very shallow answers or none at all for "least favorite".

For specific questions I like things like "reverse a string". Not so difficult that it's a brain teaser, but plenty of room for diving into different approaches and discussing idioms of the language.

Again, these answers are very telling -- often Juniors will only be able to write one very simple version, but a Senior can write several and talk about the trade-offs.
Adalm Pluto comes to mind.
I think the explanation is much simpler. Inviting both sides is cheap and gets lots of controversy, which sells. Whereas finding and reporting the facts doesn't get you much attention, takes time (so the story is no longer fresh), money, and exposes you to legal risk if you got any of the facts wrong (and even if you didn't, you may have to defend yourself in court).

One option is easy, cheap, quick, safe, and attracts a large audience. The other is the exact opposite. It's obvious which one an amoral, profit seeking corporation would choose.
Asking questions like this is a pretty bad approach to interviewing IMHO. It selects more for people who have googled "advanced python interview questions" than it does for people who actually have advanced skills.

I've found tests designed to depict everyday work to be the most reliable indicator's of a candidate's skill.
