No, I think your criticism is fair. "Modeled" is not quite accurate, since the term was applied retroactively to functionality that was already implemented.

Still, I wouldn't call the resemblance superficial. "iota" in both languages refers to sequences of whole numbers. If "iota" in Go meant "the zero-value for an arbitrary object" or "the smallest non-zero float64," then the two would truly share only a name.
>especially given Tesla's inability to properly execute.

Why established manufacturer proved to be better at producing EV than Tesla?

Tesla is producing more than 50% of all battery capacity in the world (China included) and this % keeps growing. It's been a decade since we started hearing "competition is coming", "these are the Tesla killer" and yet none made a dent in Tesla's sales (which are doubling every two years and should grow faster with Model Y).
But isn't that similar to saying UML is a programming language? I would rather call them 'modeling language' since that is the first definition I could find.

Ironically, drives to eliminate cars typically disproportionately negatively impact poor people. Wealthy people value their time over money, and so tend to retain their cars even when faced with higher costs. Poorer people will give up their cars to save money in exchange for spending hundreds of additional hours per year walking and commuting on public transit. In an ideal world, yes, they'd move closer to their jobs. In the real world, they'll commute, have to make multiple transfers between different modes of transportation, and lose precious hours from their days. This is particularly of a great impact to lower-income folks since they can't claim back those hours by hiring out things like cooking, cleaning, and maintenance. Affordable, efficient point-to-point transportation is of great benefit to this class.

Before cars life expectancy was between 30 and 40 years of age. And before cars, disabled people were put into institutions for the rest of their lives.

Car-centric planning is horrible for children, the elderly, disabled people, sick people, and the poor.

It makes them heavily dependent on able-bodied drivers (family members, taxis, hired helpers, ...) to move about.

Children are much more independently mobile in cities with good transit. In car-centric suburbs parents or other caretakers are responsible for personally carting their children from place to place, with huge negative impact on children’s quality of life. Children end up sheltered, over-scheduled, over-controlled, and dramatically delayed in learning to live for themselves.

It is for good reason that many college campuses and retirement homes are organized as little self-contained car-free villages.

In my opinion car-centric suburbs are optimized for healthy, wealthy 30–50 year-old full-time workers, and increasingly hostile as people get further from matching that.

In every tech industry lay-off I’ve been around, the company has paid severance equal to or longer than any typical employee quitting notice period. IOW, IMO, they are paying for it in general.
I agree except for shaders and procedural generation. It's not boring then, since you look at the output at the same time. But it can be boring too if it's too repetitive.
Ive watched the first two episodes of fast ai and one thing i can say is that the whole approach of this course is the opposite of what the courses you listed are structured like. Fast Ai jumps right into "how to use the script/tools" while slowly teaching the concepts behind why they work in comparison to the typical ML/AI course that involves complex learning calculus and statistics before doing anything practical.
From my reading of the article, it seems that this may fall under the "don't provide properties that make it easy to build systems on top of them" category. I wasn't even aware that this article was pitching Calvin as a good alternative, it seemed that the article presents Calvin as preliminary research rather than a proof that this is a good model for databases we can build systems on.

You can't do dependent transactions in Calvin. Without experience building systems without dependent transactions, I'm worried that we may underestimate how much of an impact removing dependent transactions has on our ability to design working systems on time and under budget. This echoes earlier problems we had when everyone was building systems that didn't rely on database consistency... we often underestimated how difficult it was to build a working system without database consistency.

I strongly agree. Also let's end welfare for upper middle class commuters by ending subsidies for rail transit. Here in D.C., taxpayers subsidize Metro commuters, who are typically white collar and make more than the average taxpayer in DC/MD/VA. Why would you expect anything else, given the stratospheric price of housing near Metro stations?

Low-income people take the bus. That's what we should subsidize.

There's literally no question in that list (or questions like those) I would bother asking during an interview to any candidate at any career level. My expectation simply is that a solid candidate would be able to figure out anything on that list given a reasonable amount of time commensurate to their career level.

I've been interviewing software engineer/dev candidates for 10+ years, and I would be extremely concerned if these kinds of questions either sunk or swam a candidate on their own. Obviously if someone couldn't figure out any of these, they'd be a bad hire - but I've found simply discussing work/projects people have done before, peeling the onion away layer by layer, to be a far more effective way of determining skill/fit/critical thinking skills.

>Why should public transit be paid for by automobiles? Let the users of each service pay for what they consume.

Why should anyone pay for anything they don't use? I understand this is a fairly common position to take in general, but this situation is not unique to public transit.

Regardless, true cost of driving private cars is already obscured beyond just for road construction and maintenance. Free or subsidized municipal on-street parking, below market rates, is one big example.

I'm trying to understand your proposed system (as a non CS person). Would this be an accurate (basic) description of it?

- You keep a deterministic log of all data inputs / transactions that should take place (a write-ahead log of sorts) that all workers can refer to.

- Each worker remembers the position in the log that it has processed so far.

- If a worker crashes during a transaction it can simply pick up at the position it was at before (possibly after doing some local cleanup) and replay the transactions.
First, IRC isn't easy for newbies. I tried to adopt it at the first tech company I worked for, and our support folks had a lot of trouble getting the basics down. There could be a client that makes things easier, but I've never seen one as easy as Slack.

Second, IRC alone doesn't provide a bunch of features that everyone expects nowadays. You have to host or pay for a bouncer if you want to see what was said when you were offline, for example. Gotta use a 3rd party service for push notifications on iOS. Again, there's no reason why this couldn't exist, but it's another product, not just IRC.
That's already the system in place, at least in the U.S.. Being properly insured isn't cheap. That you then have additional cost because 50% of the driving population isn't properly insured is an extra sting.

This is exacerbated by health care costs; state minimums coverages haven't followed increased costs; realistically, if more than 2 people get injured in any given automobile accident, 50% of drivers face bankruptcy.

The problem is that this anti-car sentiment only works in dense urban areas. Many millions of Americans are a 20+ minute drive from work with absolutely zero options for public transportation.

> Cities existed without cars

Yeah, and if you ever had to leave the city, it was a multi-day dangerous journey by horse-back to get anywhere.

Again, there is an argument to reduce cars in big, dense cities. But making driving cost $1/mile would cause irreprable harm to the lower-middle and lower class who have to drive many miles to thier minimum wage job.
Indicted, yes, but for things unrelated to collusion with Russia. They've been going after them for other things, because they can't produce evidence of the Russian collusion, just a lot of unethical stuff.

Roger Stone was indicted because he tried to dig up the "emails" and for witness tampering. That's unethical/illegal but not collusion with Russia.

"They found no Russian collusion or they would have charged him with it," Smith said.
Jay Sekulow, an attorney for the President, told CNN in a statement: "The indictment today does not allege Russian collusion by Roger Stone or anyone else. Rather, the indictment focuses on alleged false statements Mr. Stone made to Congress."

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/25/politics/roger-stone-arrested...

The media insinuates it has to do with Russia, and thus you believe it does and there is something to all this talk of Russia, which is disingenuous, because none of the charges have anything to do with that. This is almost like a media backed conspiracy theory. The willful ignorance isn't on my side. I at least read the article.
Average across the US is 16 miles, so it would essentially be asking people to pay an extra $700/month or so. Kinda like an instant 25% pay cut. Definitely would suck, but I bet a lot of people would make it work, and it would reduce congestion pretty dramatically.

It would also be political suicide, but this whole subtopic is a theoretical discussion anyway.
> Government service should be honored, these people take a pay cut in most cases to keep OUR society running.

Government "service" is just a job, and these people take a pay cut in exchange for job security (and in the cases I'm personally familiar with, fantastic health insurance).

The shutdown is nonsensical, expensive, and a pointless hardship for everyone affected, but there's no need to elevate government employees to sainthood.

Wait. That is not what "end to end" means. This is more like "piecewise end-to-end", and it is not the same thing as "end to end".

Now, people are going to say that "it doesn't matter since the only party you're disclosing the comms to is AWS, who you already implicitly depend on because you're running all your stuff under their hypervision". That's true. (ofc now there are 2 places in AWS's infra where the comms are in plaintext, so now an adversary has two teams of engineers/opsen to social engineer / compromise, and will win if they break either one).

I'm reacting to the dilution of the term "end to end" here, because it's a vital concept.

Fabulous.

So when my parents are in their 80s and out of it on painkillers after a surgery, they'll be preyed upon for donations by some fast talking executive who has trolled through their public records to see how much their home is worth.

I think the challenge is that it’s hard to compete with the large vendors on a full stack, turn key solution. It’s one thing for a STEAM focused specialist to pull together a disparate set of open source apps into a workable model but your typical teacher doesn’t have the time to do that and still focus on their day job. Most teachers need technical solutions that are integrated, work 99% of the time, and have a very simple learning curve (not denigrating teachers’ technical abilities, this is more of a time thing - they need to be up and running quickly)
Ask yourself: after these allegations came to light, did people flee from these companies? We are still talking employees with massive bargaining power and opportunities. "Apple," "Google," and "Lucasfilm" carry a lot of clout; the wronged employees could probably have found work anywhere in the market of their industry of choice if they chose to leave in protest over this mistreatment. We're not exactly talking unskilled labor or easily-replaceable skillsets here.

Did the companies shrink or grow their workforce?

If they grew, wouldn't that suggest to you that the workers themselves aren't seeing the hostility you are?
Market for journalists has been steadily contracting. They're upset because they will likely not get a job with anything near the kind of power journalism afforded them, even if it's for more money.
We need to end socialism for cars, but I think this way of going about it is probably counterproductive.

Here in Amsterdam we also have an increase in car-free zones, but one effect of that is just to increase car parking pressure in the neighborhoods of those of us who live adjacent to the center.

I think the real solution is to end socialism for cars. This problem will solve itself as soon as the land being used by parking spaces isn't specifically zoned, and thus would need to compete price-wise with using the same amount of land for residential developments or shops.

It's also interesting to see how this breaks down as a political issue. E.g. in Amsterdam the generally free market party (VVD) has a notable break from their "their market will take care of it" policy of wanting more government-subsidized car parking, v.s. the leftist parties.
Anyone know if it's possible to give Markdown and LaTeX first-class support in ProseMirror? Having only regex-based shortcuts does not achieve that.

What I mean is if you typed bold, let it turn into a bolded word, and then decide to edit the word itself, it should be surrounded by bold again instead of defaulting to ctrl-b due to content-editable. The same goes for LaTeX with $$ decorators.

I find this more natural when writing with Markdown and LaTeX than having to click the menu bar and inserting a math formula or whatnot. I think the best editor I found so far that does this is Typora, but that library is not open-source. There is an open-source library very close to it called Marktext, but that has a few annoying bugs and only has 1-2 developers.

So I'm wondering if ProseMirror is the mature library for me?

Edit: Ok, HackerNews only renders italtics which makes writing a bit annoying. The bold was initially surrounded by two * on both sides.

Not true. Lots of people bike in Oslo during the winter. While the numbers are lower in winter, saying that very few do is plainly wrong. Cargo bikes as well as trailers for kids are popular among families with children, see them all over the place. The city bike system are testing winter bikes and so far it been a success.
The changes that are being implement take time, but overall the last few years the city have made great strides.

I'll bet that felt good to say.

If anything, the fact that Maple Leaf is a consumer brand (unlike US giants Cargill, National Beef, JBS) amplifies my point -- the positive PR can help position the company as an environmentally-conscious market leader in the minds of wholesale buyers AND individual consumers.

Since the original post, Maple Leaf's announcement was covered by publications such as Food & Drink International, GlobalMeatNews.com, FoodBev.com, Agribusiness Intelligence, just-food.com (these are the top results of a Google search of "maple leaf plant burger") -- in other words, trade publications, the exact types of industry news outlets I described. Or maybe you'll tell me I'm wrong again because you regularly peruse the pages of Global Meat News.

I don't see how your fact-check contradicts any substantial part of my post. Meat producers don't normally make news unless it is highly negative. The announcement signaled to purchasers -- wholesale or consumer -- that Maple Leaf can continue to be their preferred, single source of meat, and now, meat-ish products like a veggie burger.
