I can't read the linked pilot study, but I'm not sure why the author thinks it provides significant evidence with regard to people in general. It is based on a test of 10 adolescent drivers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

I suppose the author also thinks we should sell automobiles without traction control. After all, a person that can't mentally delegate the maintanence of traction will have to manually monitor for traction by feel. Maybe we should also eliminate automatic windscreen wipers, so that people can't mentally delegate that task and will have to manually actuate them like on an old Land Rover.

I'm of the mindset that it's a good thing when people can spend more mental energy on their surroundings, and less on operating the mechanical systems of their vehicle. The fact that people like the author don't pay attention to their surroundings because they think a modern car can somehow drive itself is a separate issue.
Interesting. It reminds me of Animatrix - separate animations each in different style, but somehow related to one subject.

Finally. It was one of the most insane defaults in the history of text editors. Things like this are the reason why it's so hard to recommend nano to beginners.
Implementing new transport protocols in kernelspace has significant downsides for adoption. In fact, it has been a long time since anyone tried it.
But those different "views" are born of their different use cases. Rust is meant to be low level, like C++, and thus micro managing memory is an essential feature it can't do without.

Go is meant to be a higher level server side language that replaces languages like php, python or Java on the server. It's simple so it's almost as fast to compile as a scripting language is.
This set of blog posts highlights the example of where clever architecture can outperform clever coding:

- By abstracting some of the most volitile aspects of an early app and business logic.. The combinations in which you sell it can greatly increase the speed of iterating through ideas and offerings.

- There is more than one valid way to implement feature flagging. It's good to start somewhere that seems familiar and grow with it.

- One way I like approaching this problem is tying feature flags into sub roles and roles, which tie into subscriptions of plans. Depending on the nature of your app, the previous sentence can be longer, or shorter to allow flexibility in abstraction.

I'd love to hear how others have seen this implemented in their worlds as well!

Yes, this is Beacon St in Somerville. If they had just put it on the uphill side, this wouldn't be a problem. Unless you're a pro cyclist or an e-biker, you're not going to match car speeds going uphill. There are far fewer driveways and every single side street is a 100 yard dead end due to the train tracks.

Going downhill (cycle track side), I have no problem keeping up with traffic. During rush hour, I usually end up having to slow down for cars in front, which sucks a lot but that's life.

I'm not sure how expensive this project is (it's still not finished!) but it must be at least a million dollars flushed down the drain. And that's not even mentioning those dumb HAWK lights that will be ripped out because no one knows what to do.

I also used to be interested in effective altruism.

They're mostly smart people, and I respect them for sticking to their principles.

However, I don't think working at something you feel neutral, or negative, towards, and then donating the bulk of your income, is a path to personal happiness.

You need to do more thinking and reflection on your personal values, priorities, and the work you personally find fulfilling, meaningful, worthwhile. It can take years of thinking to figure out your purpose, but it can be done.

> Malware targets Windows because that's where the users are. If the majority of people swapped to e.g. Mac or whatever else, then you'd see the majority of malware start to target Mac.

Even if this is true, it doesn't change the calculus for the individual company. If they switched to something else while everyone else is still on Windows, now they're using something with less malware targeting it.

If everybody did that then maybe more malware would target the other thing, but that only matters if they mostly actually do and that actually causes there to be more malware than there is on Windows.

This sounds like the old copier toner social engineering scam at Google scale.

Some random employee would get a call from someone claiming to be from the copier toner supplier, asking for the name of the person in charge of buying that stuff.

The pretext might be their files got mixed up and they want to straighten it out, or maybe they're a prospective supplier who wants to beat whatever price you're paying now.

Then they make a fake invoice with that name, mail it to the company's accounts payable desk, and hope it gets paid.
No, but therein lies the crux. You don't see any relevant differences, but there are billions of people who aren't you, and a good portion of them are what people who don't care about ragged vs perceived aligned edges call "a bit OCD" (even though of course it has nothing to do with OCD). They prefer nice, clean typesetting and layout, and enough of them are disturbed by ragged edges in "not novels" to not even bother reading more than a page. That's eyeballs, and opinions, lost over a typographical feature.

So for me, if the choice is between "maintain ragged edge, lost half my readership" (on what are already niche topics; how many people can possible care about Bezier curves, for instance) and "justify the content, with hyphenation because holy shit justified text looks bad without it" and not lose that readership, it's a no-brainer.

Because that's primarily what you use it for: you use hyphenation in combination with justified text to make sure that the number of words per line of text end up in the 14~16 range, without crazy longs gaps in sentences that are forced to move words like "reconfiguration" or "interoperability" to the next line because they're not allowed to hyphenate them. Back in the typewriter days, with fixed letter spacing and separate pointsize discs/balls, that was an absolute dire chore: 100% agreed that if at all possible, back then ragged edges were the way to go.

But the moment we got decent automated layout management through LaTeX (while plain TeX worked, it was also horrible) and these days XeLateX, and later on HTML+CSS, the "chore" part disappeared. You simply write your text, you turn on auto-hyphenation, and you don't give it a second thought until someone goes "hey this sentence looks really off", and then you fix that one sentence.

And then for novels, keep things ragged. The readership's used to it. But for web content, especially the kind of textbooks that can be printed, too, meet the people where they are, not just where you're comfortable.

I understand the hate for electron apps and the demand for native. While I do use VSCode as my daily editor, I've also seen some electron apps that definitely don't make the cut.

That said, I don't understand the growing trend of using the native web view and calling it "native". (Meaning it can't be ported to other platforms, so it must be native?)

If you're building it with web technologies, you might as well just go with electron for the more modern browser[1], easier portability, and isolation from browser version changes.

[1]: I haven't looked much at the windows web view since edge came out. I was going to say perhaps this doesn't matter as much if you can select edge, but now that edge is becoming chromium anyway, I suppose the point is moot. Hooray for monocultures I guess.

It's not just the final ratio. A modern automatic has a large number of closely-spaced gears and many of the engines have been tuned to have a very efficient low RPM cruise mode. Some have entirely different valve, injection, and ignition timing regimes for this low RPM cruise mode.

It is very difficult for a human to keep the engine within such a narrow RPM band for efficiency, without accidentally lugging or stalling. So, they will likely spend their time with higher RPMs which miss these opportunities.

It's really hard to expect anyone to be good at complying with rules they do not understand, unfortunately.

Most of those are either very straightforward subtractive synthesizers, or use digital FM synthesis. It's much more efficient (and accurate) to start from sampled basic waveforms or reverse-engineered data from the actual systems, rather than building them using additive synthesis techniques.

Similar prohibitions exist in America. They’re typically handled at the state level, however, since incorporation is done by states.

Irrelevant, the actual facts charged in the indictment involve collusion. “Collusion” isn't a legal charge, it's a fact pattern, and it's part of the fact pattern in both the Stone and Pappadopolous indictments. The claim that there are no indictments involving collusion is false.

> And Stone denies the accusation.

Which is irrelevant to any claims about the content of indictments of findings of the Mueller probe. It would be relevant if the claim was “no convictions involving collusion” or “no confessions involving collusion”, though Pappadopolous would still disprove both of those claims.

There is nothing worse than finding out that someone not even at the company anymore decided years before to deploy some crap like this.

Yes, so it should be highly regulated. While technology also allows for plastic, surgery, one can argue that it is purely useless from a practical point of view and only wanted as a result of flawed reasoning and social pressures. It’s relatively harmless to the rest of society, but gene editing (especially if you can also permanently alter your reproductive genes), can have devastating societal effects if people are allowed to shoot themselves in the foot this way.

We have always had laws designed to manipulate society to help prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot (see qualified investor requirements, minimum drinking ages, mandatory car insurance, etc). For gene editing it’s particularly kmportant for the long-term survivability of the human race if we do not regulate our own use.
Whether Kuhn’s ideas support “far-right authoritarian” politics is an interesting question. As the author here points out, postmodernism is typically thought of as progressive. It’s interesting to think about the alternative; perhaps the “might makes right” aspects of fascism that Morris sees as the result of Kuhn’s paradigms.
Bad news. In the US, businesses’ God given right to impersonate the government is already being infringed. I ran across this when reading the rules to register a business a few years back. Maybe it was just a state law, but if that’s on the books in Texas, it’s probably prohibited in all states.

The generic explanation is: The 'minority' can often have worse interview results and still get the job over a non-minority.

There was recently in the news a lawsuit against Harvard I believe, because there is some evidence that a White or Asian (minority in US but not in schools as a lot of them attend school) student can have better admissions testing scores and a "underrepresented" minority with lower scores gets admitted instead.
