US car manufacturers are doubling down on large trucks and SUVs and the current administration continues to thwart progress on tackling climate change and other societal concerns. I would say the US, at least on a macro level, is still on the "other extreme" path.
Gmail is the main problem. I use it as a backup email and as an ID for registering about everywhere.

Thing is, what is a reliable email alternative that is certain to be around long term, that I can use to register? Google can afford to keep gmail up for my foreseeable life time, what other email services (free or paid) can I trust with that?

Edit: I do have my own domain, but I don't consider that as reliable as something maintained by a large organization.
Anecdotally, very few people buy Chromebooks as their primary college computer. Most people, irrespective of their major, need to work with Microsoft Office, sometimes some custom publisher software, etc. and nobody seems to thing that Chrome OS is up for this task. Plus, I feel like a "college computer" is a weighty purchase for many students, and buying a $200 Chromebook doesn't really seem right for this.

For computer science, the only people who buy Chromebooks are the people who install Linux on them or have another machine to SSH into.

Whenever you are unsure if something is truly OOP just answer one simple question:

> Is everything an object?

If the answer is no, you don't have true OOP in front of you. Otherwise, you might want to dig a little deeper.
This isn't a valid comparison, since macOS doesn't have to goal that Linux and Windows do of running on a large variety of hardware. And this shows: it's a lot easier to install Linux on any old laptop (or even Windows, to some extent) than it is macOS.
Having friends or even being married to X is a good sign to prove one is not racist towards X.

The inverse idea, that this is somehow a bad argument, I can't even fathom how it started (and how messed the minds of those that think you must somehow be a racist if you make this argument are).

(Sure, one can claim it hypocritically, just like everything else -- that doesn't mean the claim itself signals racism).
Announcing TypeScript 3.4 RC
"Under the hood" most language implementations just implements methods as functions with the object as one of the parameters and privileged information about how to interpret the object structure.

This illustrates the difficulty of differentiating these things, as pretty much everything we do is "just" syntactic sugar. But of course that syntactic sugar often has substantial impact on how we think.
OpenGenera was ported to ALPHA64. Also, a VM exists for Linux/OSX. It works pretty okay.

I would say that notepad-like text editors and IDEs are the ones the get in your way. It's not a big deal, but you do spend a lot of time just trying to move the cursor to the right spot, character by character.

It's like you want to e.g. "change what's inside those parens", or "just open a new line above this one". Vim has those exact commands.
1) I specifically meant "the information they already have", so you would only have to add that which is additional (e.g. medical expenses).

2) There are probably less bureaucratic ways to deal with subsidising medical expenses. Single payer is the nuclear option, but also applying the tax credit in-store and letting the business apply could be a thing?

I have very same impression. XMPP is basing on XML where parsing is order of magniture more complex than JSON.

Allergies work differently from things like lactose intolerance: you are not born with allergies but develop them as a sort of misclassification from your immune system. Thus if you haven't been exposed to something you are unlikely to be allergic to it.

The only reason the argument is somehow suspect, is because people can't say anything about a group of people that's not considered racist by some "professionally offended on behalf of others".

Anything negative I mean. They might be OK with 100% praise (though even that has been accused of "idealizing" and other BS by the "professionally offended on behalf of others").

So people saying e.g. "I'm not racist against X, I have X friends, but statistically X cause most of Y (a bad thing)" are considered racist and their qualifier is seen as bogus or hypocritical.

Even if statistically, according to accepted official numbers, X indeed cause most of Y.
The Linux network stack needs to get its shit in order. Kernel bypass libraries like EVFI transmit UDP in 250ns whereas the kernel typically takes several usec.

BSD 1 was released in 1978, and was itself a derivative of Unix 1 released in 1971 and started in 1969.

BSD derived works (including parts of MacOS, Windows and GNU/Linux, and numerous embedded devices like routers etc.) are still going strong today.

Most of the code will have been gradually replaced over such a long time, but there are libraries which can trace a lineage that far back. libc and libm come to mind.

Quite a few well known, non-trivial applications still used today were, perhaps surprisingly, first released in the 1970s. Examples: grep, diff, cron, awk, make.

What are you most concerned with? Keeping the email address active yourself for new mail or keeping your mail archive?

For the first point, you are already set. You have your own custom domain and can point that to any provider you find trustworthy, including Gmail, Fastmail, ProtonMail, Outlook, etc.

For the second point, nobody is as responsible for keeping proper backups as you are. Every provider could go under or have a glitch, as unlikely as it is with the bigger providers. Every provider allows you to take your data out, be it through reular syncing or downloading periodic snapshots.

I can think of a few use cases that aren't really reverse engineering. Documenting legacy systems that weren't properly documented up front. Documenting/identifying divergence from design time documentation. Documenting a microservice stack where each service is individually well documented but the totality is not. Generating documentation from a prototype to use a starting point for a more structured design process.

Generally, I've seen very few projects that have architecture documentation which is kept up to date past the first release. So it's not an insane idea given the on the ground reality, but yes it does seem a bit like shutting the barn door after the horse is already out.

Hmm no, I know how to handle my own mail. My concern is that gmail is a good backup solution that always works, including when I'm in the middle of nowhere with no time or inclination to fix my custom domain.

What I'm most concerned with is the email address as identity. It's the key to all my online accounts via the reset password form. Jumping from provider to provider with my own custom domain works the same, but with more hassle. I'd rather move (my identity) to another online service, as long as I'm reasonably certain that my email addy will exist for 20+ years.

I might not trust them 100%, but I trust them around 1000x more than I trust myself. I have had several data loss incidents and it was invariably my own fault. I simply cannot be trusted with my own data.

If one doesn't trust Google/Dropbox et.al. to handle the data, then just use two of them, or use a personal solution and one of them. Just don't use your home rolled backup system only because you don't trust any of the online storage providers.
>You can be concerned about being popular and trendy without being superficial. Ignoring fashion, style, and appearance standards can hurt your life chances and your relationships with other people.

If your worried about your "life chances and your relationships with other people" based on fashion and style, then you're superficial, and those are superficial relations (and a superficial career).

Not caring about "fashion and style" doesn't mean you're some hobo style slob (which would indeed hurt your relations and life chances for non-superficial reasons, e.g. because you smell and wear shorts at the office).
I don't believe there is a nefarious scheme in play.

People who live in cities don't need cars.

People who live outside cities still need cars. The manufacturers try to fill that need. The manufacturers, sellers, etc. make the economy go 'round.

It will all change if/when economic forces bring it about. Directly forcing it through politics probably isn't the right approach.
OS/400 was also a very interesting and well designed system.
It's not like everyone all the way to the top didn't know it was happening. The entire project was a feeding trough for everyone who worked in construction and knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy.

I'm not sure if the corruption has gotten better since the project or just more subtle now that it's no longer all concentrated on several tunnels under Boston. Probably the latter considering that the various departments of state government do not seem to have improved much.

One may be skeptical that a dog can solve differential equations better than an accomplished mathematician, but it is none the less true.

I have the same experience. I set DDG as my default search engine on all of my devices, and with maybe 10% of my searches I revert to Google. DDG is adequate for common stuff, but for anything obscure, it doesn't really cut it. These days, I have a pretty good feeling for whether DDG will give me what I want before I search.
You have a great outlook on things in my opinion. Cheers!
Working in secops, we aren't always the ones building the tools, and the products we're required to support never come with this kind of documentation.
Thanks! When it comes to performance I can understand choosing a more low level approach. construct-js trades performance for declarativeness (though I suspsect that I can do a lot of optimising under the hood).

How to Find More Time with a “News Audit”
Your comment reminds me about the podcast linked below, where the issue of people hoping to be paid for their idealism in open source is discussed, taking it further, to the idea that "corporate open source" is not only parallel to "idealistic open source", it actually tends to produce community pressure on people to continue working for free, and perpetuate a bit of an illusion that they'll be paid some day.

It seems relevant to this thread.

To bring it back to the original comment I was replying too and to the original email, Alan Kay says in the email:

> OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them.

He was writing in 2003 so presumably didn't / doesn't consider Java or C++ OOP languages by his definition.

The comment I was originally replying to said:

> C++, Java, Python, are all founded in confused interpretations of OO. OO has also become so synonymous with these implementations that we should just let the paradigm go entirely and start afresh.

And I was taking issue with C++ being included with Java in this (I think Python shouldn't really be included either). C++ is a multi paradigm language and while I agree the OOP parts of it that it has in common with Java are neither very good nor what Alan Kay meant by OOP, C++ supports other better programming paradigms better than Java does.

The good parts of C++ style OOP are mostly the ADT bits. The less good parts are inheritance and virtual functions. Design Patterns makes heavy use of the less good parts of that style of OOP and most of the problems it addresses are better solved in other ways that modern C++ supports quite well.

I have lived and worked with people for whom having their fan randomly turn on for no reason is completely normal, and I just can’t understand how they can bear it. If this happens to me, you can bet I’m digging through Activity Monitor and killing the culprit before the fans can get fully ramped up.

At a place I used to work, laptops were routinely getting bricked by the anti-virus software. Basically it would run a scan, the laptop would overheat and die.

I also did a lot of lucid dreaming and seemingly had it very adversely affect my ability to sleep normally and have 'normal' dreams. It does seem that at least some non-lucid dreams may be a requirement for normal functioning. I have gently suggested to a few friends interested in lucid dreaming that they not get into it too much, for that reason.

In my case, I've learned to stop at all controlling the dreams, despite being aware of whether or not I am dreaming, and that seems to have helped.

However, both of us are simply relating anecdotes; we may both have had significant sleep issues arise even without the lucid dreaming (albeit in a slightly different form).

I live in London and in my experience, the vast majority of problematic urban noise comes from two sources: overflying aircraft (mostly from to LHR and LCY airports), and modified or poorly maintained motorcycles.

Aircraft are improving with each generation but are still extremely noisy when they're directly overflying you, even many miles from the airport.

While there are certainly other sources of urban noise, like heavy goods vehicles and construction, these are strictly regulated and enforced with regards to operating times, etc in the UK - while noise from aircraft and private vehicles is not.

Sirens (fire, ambulance, police) can also be very loud, but I'll give them a pass because they are actually serving a useful purpose and saving lives. In the future when vehicles are quieter due to electrification, I think we'll be able to reduce the volume of emergency sirens too.
They do try to mitigate this criticism in the first line of the article:

"Light-by-light scattering is a very rare phenomenon in which two photons – particles of light – interact, producing again a pair of photons."

This is the process that they observe (for the first time) whereas E144 observed the Breit-Wheeler process.

You can argue that this is too narrow a definition of light-by-light scattering but they have at least tried to make it self consistent...

Because it’s your flow. I’m an emacs user and it’s the same sort of thing. At the end of the day I’m just a lot faster at the things I want to do because of the practice (learning what it can do) and customization (making it do what I need to do). Learning random IDE #25 for an employer just slows me down. Imagine if I made you use Dvorak (or QWERTY if you already use Dvorak) just because. You’d crawl. Unless the IDE brings a lot to the table, the thing I need most is the editor part. So I want it to fit me and my flow.

I use air breathing engines for small single stage orbital vehicles in KSP. They are much more fun to fly, albeit you have to stay in atmosphere for a longer time due to very low degree of ascent to gain speed :)

If I have to go further, I make it two stage, with the last stage traditional booster stage. Anything bigger than that tends to fail though.
