Why call them persons then, when they clearly aren't, and their rights are so different that same right can be fundamental for one type or entity but completely irrelevant to another (e.g. right to life, in the context of legal entities). Basically, what's the benefit of having this single category where everything gets lumped?
I remember it due to the price. It was $8.99 for two Impossible burger patties. It's only $5.99 for two Beyond burger patties. It took me a month to get past the $8.99 price point for just two veggie patties. You might be able to find it at the same price point at Whole Foods as well. On that note, Impossible did mention that they were rolling out to supermarkets in 2019.

`?` isn't really that great - for all but toy cases you have to jump through hoops - especially if you are trying to handle different error types from separate in a unified way.

Not a fan of Result, either - it ties together the error type and the type of the desired item - these should be separate concerns.

Italian-American cuisine, including places like Buca di Beppo, are absolutely not in the same vein as Taco Bell or Chipotle. Italian-American cuisine is a unique part of a culture that arose organically from millions of Italian immigrants and their children in the United States. Taco Bell and Chipotle are culture-less money-making ventures with superficial ties to a foreign cuisine.

Tex Mex or Cajun cuisine would be a more apt comparisons.
That's much more indicative.

Waymo is almost certainly using a ton of computer vision in its cars. Vision is needed to classify objects on the road, predict the behaviors of pedestrians, bikers and other drivers, read road signs and traffic lights, etc.

As far as I can tell, LIDAR makes a lot of prediction tasks much easier (since you have both images and LIDAR point clouds), and is also a backup for obstacle detection to ensure that your self-driving car doesn't crash.

It's interesting to see modern languages tackling checked error handling. Particularly in the light that Java's checked exceptions are widely considered to have been a failure. Yet I wonder if Java had better support for things like union types etc. if it would have turned out differently. After all, it did offer at least potential to achieve what everyone is after: you can write a piece of code and know for sure that you handled every possible type of error.

The most painful aspect of Java's (original) exceptions was how the only mechanism to handle multiple errors as a single case was using inheritance in the exception hierarchy. The result was that they propagated through interfaces and broke downstream code and it became pretty much impossible to design and maintain a stable API without wrapping exceptions excessively which in turn destroys the utility of the exception hierarchy, making the whole exercise futile.

The article seems a little superficial though. Immediately exiting with 'panic' does not seem like a real error handling approach for any realistic application. It doesn't show how you could handle different types of errors (eg: file not found vs I/O error reading file) with different cases. The case it does present is easily handled elegantly by nearly any error handling design.

This argument misses the forest for the trees. Even level 5 autopilot will sometimes crash into objects that are clearly visible to most humans, as will lidar-based solutions. But if the robot fleet is an order of magnitude safer than the human fleet, then it makes rational sense to prefer a robot driver to a human.
Water affects certain wavelengths, and there's been good progress on LIDAR that uses wavelengths that aren't effected.

Most approaches want to use a wavelength that has as little ambient light as possible. That light is absent precisely because it is absorbed by water vapor in the atmosphere. The alternative approach must deal with lower signal:noise, but is not substantially affected by weather.

This is good research. Thank you for doing this.
Take a look at Festool’s MFT 3 table system. It is a grid of 20mm holes, spaced at 96mm on center. There are many time saving and convenient tools made to take advantage of them, and many more custom stuff that craftsmen build to make things easier.

Without a CNC it is frustrating to drill those holes reliably square enough to use them in downstream operations like squaring cuts or aligning/spacing.
Was thinking the same. Unless you are craving for meat and have forgotten how real meat tastes - perhaps it's ok.

But then there are hundreds of marketing articles saying that some vegans are disgusted how "real" of a meat this taste like. Pure lies.
Well, corporations have a level of immunity to punishment, for example. When a corporation breaks the law, the worst that happens to them is a fine -- which just makes it a cost of doing business. The corporate shield ensures the no human in the corporation will suffer consequences unless they also, individually, broke a law.
Olive Garden in particular's worse than middle-high tier frozen Italian food in a bag, which comes out to the same price or cheaper. Certain dishes are worse than budget frozen Italian food that can be prepped in its container, a microwave. Granted you have to do some work for those but it's usually "heat in pan, serve" or similar. It used to be better (like, 10+ years ago) but has gotten quite a bit worse. Maybe a few dishes are better than that, but none of the ones I've ordered when I've gone in the last decade or so—one gets invited, and a place has to be damn bad before they go on my "I will risk being rude to avoid going here, and will not take the food for free" list.

Kinda like how up to a few years ago Noodles & Company was pretty good cheap food, then they doubled all their portion sizes and their food unaccountably dropped to sub-frozen-and-boxed-food quality levels and they started calling themselves "World Kitchen" or something.
From what I can see, overselling is Elon’s standard strategy for whatever technical approach he’s decided is the right one. (And I can’t really say that doesn’t work for him.)

Why is this fundamentally considered bad? If the majority of residents in a given area want to keep the zoning as-is, why do you (or I) have any right to force them to change? I personally don't mind living in multi-story apartment buildings but I don't get the widespread notion that a city of mostly SFH = morally bad. And frankly, if increasing density actually helped property values wouldn't you expect a place like NYC to be more affordable?

I'm curious what platform your app is on, if you are willing to share?

A typical non-tuned Rails deployment, for instance, is gonna have queueing built in, with really not as much concurrency as one would want (enough to actually fully utilize the host; the opposite problem). So I'm guessing you aren't on Rails. :)

Curious what you are on, if you're willing to share, for how it effects concurrency defaults and options and affordances.

(I know full well that properly configuring/tuning this kind of concurrency is not trivial or one-size-fits all. And I am not at all surprised that http/2 changed the parameters disastrously, and appreciate your warning to pay attention to it. I think those who are thinking "it shouldn't matter" are under-experienced or misinformed.)
It probably depends on what you’re interested in working on.

My guess is that there will be a 5-year period of explosion in a) compilers for existing languages; b) frameworks for working with the DOM and other web APIs in said languages; and c) a few new languages built on top of it. Then there will be a few more years of transition where the winners and losers among all these new tools gradually sort out.

And then we’ll all go back to developing in higher level languages and compiling down - you’ll just have more options besides JavaScript, typescript, and coffeescript, basically. A few jobs will remain that involve tuning compilation.

Can you elaborate on what you mean here? Do you mean that Tesla will only be using Computer Vision for autonomy? Doesn't or wouldn't Lidar compliment CV? Or is there a practical design consideration that makes them mutual exclusive?
As far as I understood HD maps are static data obtained by many various ways (not only lidar)[1]. AFAIR they claimed that Lidar itself provides some value (teaching neural networks how to measure the distance to various objects etc) but the gist is that image recognition is an absolute must-have for self-driving cars (which seems right to me).

There are lots of...I guess I would call them "mashup cuisines" around the world, especially in post-colonial and post-WW2 Asia. Local chefs tried to recreate western dishes with their own ingredients and techniques and it made for some interesting results.

Since it's early morning as I write this, I'll use Hong Kong-style macaroni soup[1] as an example: it's literally macaroni in broth with a slice of processed ham on top and some white bread on the side. Not Chinese in the least, but now it's as much a local breakfast staple here as congee.

Also, an aside: sweet and sour pork is a legitimate Cantonese dish and it's in every Canto restaurant in China. I really miss crab rangoon sometimes, though...

I don't particularly like the solution presented.

1. The Rust community is biased against the usage of "unwrap". It was supposed to make prototyping easier. It should not have been there and should not be used.

The correct way will be to "evaluate" the function and either return a result or "propagate" the error to some part of your application that will handle "all" the errors. Whether they are your code errors, or errors thrown by other libraries.

2. The code will look even more succinct with the "?" operator:

> let value = some_operation_that_might_fail()?;

3. If the function fail, the program should handle the failure. By design, a failure should not result on setting a "default value". That's not an error but more like an "option".

The correct type the guy should have used is the Option type. Or more like an option inside a result. The option could return a value or not. If not, you set a default value.
Five Questions to Ask at Buy Google Reviews
Skimming, the salient point to me was that the perspective of people there is "hardware comes in a box" rather than (in my words) "coming from the ingenuity and hard work of engineers, who are just normal people with experience in building things."

It's easy to overlook, though I can point to that moment for myself when I realized this was something I loved doing: 10-year-old me going to a camp where they showed us how we could use qbasic plus some breadboards to build security systems, launch rockets, make a musical instrument -- with electronics. That's what showed me both that people make it, and that I could make it too.

Whether hardware is totally open or not, if you don't have that spark, the moment that connection forms, it doesn't matter. The technology that got me going was far from open, ti was some 1990s era Compaq with a parallel port break-out most likely. I think Arduinos are 10X more powerful for getting people into this world than an open computer they couldnt even begin to understand. That's learning to sprint before you can crawl. Both matter, though.

It's as morally wrong as eating meat or paying minimum wage or running your water while you brush your teeth. ie. it's not really all that bad in the grand scheme of things, but it's something that we know causes harm, generally to a vulnerable population, so we should want to do something about it.

Corporate personhood is not a US-only thing. It's a pretty old idea, and most countries recognize corporations as legal persons.

> The idea that corporations have legal rights, and therefore a kind of personhood, is not an invention of contemporary conservatives. Its roots stretch all the way back through the history of American law and deep into the English common-law tradition. That tradition was captured most comprehensively — and communicated to the American founders most forcefully — by William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England...

> A corporation is simply a legally recognized group of people cooperating with a view to some common end. Indeed, the very purpose of that legal recognition and the rights that accompany it is to provide a framework for a group of citizens to freely associate with one another in a stable, productive, and harmonious way.

He mentioned that all their cars since 2016 have had redundant power steering, redundant wiring and even redundant power. Even if it loses the main power pack it can still steer and brake safely.

Give me ONE example of another auto manufacturer that has thought far enough ahead to design that kind of redundancy into their vehicles planning for self driving? It simply does not exist in the industry.

I read this article and thought YEAH!! Then noticed once I got to the comments that it's from 2016. Which is really depressing because all of the problems mentioned by the author have gotten worse, not better in the last few years. Ironically, the new frontend Twitter is currently beta testing is built using React Native > Web tooling which is laughably non-semantic in the extreme.

I don't know what the ultimate answer is to this, expect that perhaps standards-based Web Components can get good enough that devs will rely more on those approaches than ginormous JS frameworks that take over everything. In the meantime, the web is not a friendly place for old-school devs lacking a JS-ALL-THE-THINGS! mindset (like me!).
Disagree. What happens if you have an emergency? Then you end up withdrawing from the 401k + penalty.
Eh, I'm pretty fine with that. Imagine the current gen slightly beats human drivers - also known as "revolutionary, but not perfect" - of course the next gen would focus on improving safety further.
I disagree. My eating choices have resulted in the deliberate slaughter of a single animal (to the best of my ability to track this) over a 1.5 year period. I've refused all meat except the meat that comes from that animal, and even then I eat it only rarely. I will refuse meat from other sources -- friends and family, restaurants, prepackaged foods, cheeses with rennet, gelatin, etc.

Being a vegetarian or not has fuzzy boundaries and many denominations. It's much, much simpler for everyone involved to view me as vegetarian, even if it's not a strict, 100% no meat for years definition.
I'm not really talking about what's interesting or cool given a comparatively bad starting position, I'm talking about these language features in their own right. The idea of making special-case operators for what are just monads becomes less interesting in general, regardless where you started. It's certainly neat and practically useful, but it's a symptom more than it's a long-term solution.

This wasn't directed at Rust in particular; many languages have these kinds of operators and even more are trying to propose them and I wonder if people just don't see the big picture and/or don't care. You can have a good and productive language without seeing the big picture or maybe realizing too late, but it's not a paragon of good design. It's definitely a design smell to introduce special-cased operators for these things.

With that said, I really like Rust and I think it's an excellent language. This particular thing irks me because a lot of the people who'd exalt this kind of feature usually simultaneously argue that monads are somehow not relevant, while not realizing it's contradictory.
Right, but in Typescript you can't match on the type at compile time, you have to add a "type" field with a string tag and match on it at runtime.

Property values don't usually go down when you increase density. Look at NYC or Tokyo or Paris. If anything it usually makes the land value go up, especially if a developer knows they can buy it and put four units in it's place.
