People seem to always get confused by this - http/1.1 is persistent by default and the vast majority of servers/clients use it.

The "Keep-Alive" header was something tacked onto http/1.0 and doesn't really mean anything these days.
Looks like the author is just using some apps that happen to run on Unix.

I write all my books using vi (not vim!), troff and friends, make, and ghostview (gv) for the layout. Plus a couple of shell/awk/sed scripts for making the TOC, index, etc. I cannot imagine any better tools for the job. I tried LateX, which only got me into trouble, and Lout, which was fun, but too complex in the end. After 20-something books, above turns out to be the sweet spot.
> It's certainly a concern but many companies make it work.

They do? Maybe. But they are walking a thin line between their short term (make it complex so we can, you know, sell support) and long term (make it simple enough that people don't jump ship) commercial interests. This is the reason I call it "unnecessarily" complex - it is in the interest of companies who sell support services that the product is not as easy to use as it could be.

Do we really need this? I think not, and I actually prefer what Redis Labs, MariaDB and others have been doing with the licenses for their modules. Sure, Business Source license and similar are not open-source (as in "freedom to take the product you have built and sell services on top of it, driving you out of similar business as collateral damage"), but at least they provide developers with the incentive to produce easy to use software, and not just because they feel like it, but because they can actually earn their living from it.

There might be some exceptions that "make it work", but this is in spite of just selling services on top of their product, not because of it. The cards are stacked against them - it is much easier (and profitable) to take other persons' product and build on it that it is to build your own.

In my experience, selling support is an acceptable answer only in the eyes of would-be competitors. Otherwise it is just plain wrong. </rant>

It seems to me that if you want to do this right, you ought ot be thinking about how you can bootstrap the infrastructure and industry to produce the neccesary products and agricultural inputs locally.

Also, can you make it sustainable. AFAIK, industrial farming is destroying soil quality in nations that use it, and some farmers are looking at returning back to techniques like crop rotation...

Came here to post a much less eloquent version of the same thing. Any proclamation that one way of travelling is objectively better or more worthy (of... what?) than another leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I've visited between 61 and 66 countries depending on how you want to measure it, and frankly I don't believe this to say anything deep or shallow about me - it's just a number, a score in the game I've chosen to play given the privilege to do so.

From the article:

> Yes, you have been to 30 countries in 5 years, but have you really “been” there? How many places do you really know and understand?

Perhaps my purpose or desire isn't to "really know and understand"? Some of us like to dip our toe in, or just take an experiential snapshot. And on the flip side, I don't consider anyone who stays in London for 6 months or even 6 years to "really know and understand" the place. I've lived here for my entire 45 years and wouldn't make the claim for myself, such are the new things I keep discovering on a monthly basis.

> I do not intend to criticize entirely the people for traveling this way. Society does sometimes pressure us to spend holidays abroad to look and sound more “well-cultivated”

I have felt absolutely no societal pressure to travel, only self-imposed. I absolutely do not feel, look, sound, or claim to be "well-cultivated". I've just visited lots of places, that's all. Travel for me doesn't have to be, and in the main is not, intrinsically profound or romantic - but it's fun, and collecting countries on lightning trips makes me extraordinarily happy, and that's my primary objective. Perhaps there's some profundity in that?
This is only partially true. http/1.1 has well defined semantics for persistent connections. The server can send the header "Connection: Close" to indicate to the client it is closing the idle connection. All http/1.1 clients should respect that since it's in the RFC.

The problem is many servers don't send this header when closing idle connections. nginx is a notorious example. But well behaving servers should be sending that header if they intend to close the connection after a request.
The complexity is not specific to FOSS. The incentive as described however is.

Don't get me wrong, Uber isn't fault free here in my opinion, and I'm mostly in aggreement with you. Pretty much everyone involved here was negligent in some way if you ask me.

My point was only that I don't think this would set any kind of precedent since it's so far from a simple case of "an owner of a self driving car".
Completely agree.

I regulary post on a forum about urban architecture. There's a section with people posting photos from their walks through their city. Basically google street view with some text commentary in an old-style phpbb forum format.

It's probably very boring for outsiders, but I enjoy it a lot and I started doing such a thread myself several years ago. It's a good excuse to go outside, you visit parts of your city you otherwise wouldn't, learn about its history and architecture in general, and you look at places you visit daily from a different perspective (looking for a good shot makes you notice stuff you normally ignore).

But for people on the street I'm that weird guy that stops to make a photo of an ugly house every 10 meters instead of enjoying the city :)
Women in Coworking Spaces
Well if you stop viewing it as fault and instead view it as incentives it makes sense. If you (intentionally) murder somebody, you still need to be punished (even if technically "you" are not at "fault" because it's not "you" it's just the algorithm running in your brain) so that others will be disincentivised to do the same thing in the future (i.e. the algorithm running in most people's brains will take the potential punishment into account when calculating whether the crime makes sense or not).

To a large extent we already do that, e.g. many countries have upper limit in punishment (like 30 years jail max), or allow criminals to delete their criminal past after some time has passed, not because that "just" or "fair" or whatever, but simply because it's "effective".

It is interesting how the greatness of the conversations XMPP client has sort of created a defacto baseline. You have to go half way down the list before you get below 90% compliance.

The thing with an open protocol is that there is always going to be a vast number of clients that don't support much of anything. We really only need one really good free client on each major platform.

This question has aged badly, Apple used to keep secrets really well, but now they're not doing so well. But I can't remember the last major product they had that wasn't leaked before it was officially announced. And their self-driving car project has been widely written about without even any product in sight.

One good way in which they have become less secrecy-obsessed is that they're now doing public betas of their OSes.

"freely allow forward declarations" - not sure what you mean. In any case forward declarations were only ever a performance hack for single-pass compilers. Nowadays most compilers are multi-pass and have a separate symbol resolution stage that operates on an in-memory representation of the code (e.g. AST). It's not a huge extra cost to search for symbols "in both directions".

Regarding type inference, it depends on the complexity of the inference algorithm. Personally I think the right way for procedural languages is to require explicit function signatures. Only for functional languages where you have many more (smaller) functions, that is a deal breaker.

I thought it would have been a much simpler case of "Driving without due care and attention" of which both Uber and the human driver were guilty of.
> The problem is that a false positive causing emergency braking is also dangerous. So you'd be trading one instance of the car not emergency braking when it should against however many instances of it dangerously doing so when it shouldn't. That isn't an obvious call even before you consider that the human driver can cause the car to brake when it should but can't cause it to not break when it shouldn't.

Yes, building a self-driving car is hard. But if you don't even have emergency braking working, then your technology is too underdeveloped to drive on public roads. Keep trying on the test track.

> But there's another bazooka in the room: the contemporary erosion of trust in authority, in this case scientific authority. Ionannidis' remarks are for the best, I think, but will add to the confusion of not only what knowledge can the public trust but who is more apt to produce that knowledge.

The erosion of trust is _because_ of the poor quality of scientific findings produced by Science the institution (particularly in select fields).

This is the only sustainable path forward for Science the institution. The only alternative is a period of suppression of criticism, inevitably contemporaneous with increasing levels of corruption, followed by massive denunciations and outrage once the dam breaks.

Didn't really work well for the Catholic church. I can't see how it would be any better for Science.

American in Paris for 1 year working as a Senior DevSecOps Engineer (or whatever they want to call us).
Went from 225kUSD/yr in usa to 95kEUR in Europe (most senior devs are lucky to get 75k, paris tech salaries are lagging behind London, AMS and Berlin. I felt like I was getting underpaid until I figured out (awkwardly at a dinner) that i make more than a lot of doctors and government ministers.
Plus the healthcare, subsidized transit, subsidized lunches 20 days a month and TRUE vacation means I'm never going back to the states.

All that being said, I'm bouncing to Berlin for a higher salary and a roughly 30 percent drop in cost of living compared to Paris.

Amsterdam is a hot scene, Berlin is hot and affordable, dont come to Paris unless you really speak French and or have deep Fintech/banking tech background.

If that "most pertinent problem" is tech savvy investor/journalist bait... it's genius. I read that and thought "well that's probably solveable."

OTOH... In the context of a moonshot, maybe the non-existence of an affordable & appropriate engine is ok. Tesla started with an unaffordable battery, and built a really expensive car with it. The car was good though, compared to other cars in the sheiks & princes price range. It was an important step on the way and proved that the real pertinent problem was affordable batteries. Not an easy problem, but still.

There's probably some demand for flying motorcycles, even if they cost >€1m and are only good for 10 minutes of hovering over a lake.

From there... who knows. I'm not sure flying cars a mass market idea even if they cost the same as rolling ones.
The good news is our farmers are way too poor to put too much fertilizer/inputs into their fields, they're generally applying fertilizer with a spoon seed by seed.

To be honest, we're not going to tell farmers that they should pay 4x more to produce their inputs locally. These are some of the poorest people in the world, telling them they should continue to have a hunger season every year because of long term concerns about soil quality isn't in me. If you want someone to help lobby for a nitrogen tax in the developed world though, I'm your guy :) .

After expanding them, and throwing away words that weren’t in the expanded definitions, I was down to 3601 words. Setting recursive definitions as atoms and continuing got me down to 2565 words.

I don't know AZ law, but doesn't the driver have a duty to use a reasonable level of caution to avoid hurting others, regardless of who has the right of way? For example, looking at the road while driving might be within reasonable levels of caution.

Where I'm at (Sweden, so far away and possibly a very different legal situation), right of way is not an excuse for negligent driving. You don't get to run people over unpunished just because you have the right of way if it could have been prevented by paying proper attention.
There's also the ability to stick AEDs on drones, which relies on the member of the public reporting the heart attack to use it, but can make them available to that person much more quickly than instructions about where to find the nearest publicly-accessible AED.

You can obviously also have a lot more defibrillator drones available across a city than jetpack-equipped paramedics. I've seen it as a concept, not sure how many are in use and what their success rates have been.

All occupations with a minimum annual remuneration of over €60,000, other than those on the Ineligible Categories of Employment for Employment Permits or which are contrary to the public interest.

For Sweden, the employment link referenced is for self-employment. The details around regular, full-time employment can be found on Migrationsverket's site[1].
