OS X already provides enough UNIX to my taste, no need to look beyond it.

Everything else I need is part of the SDK.
There's a big difference between US, Canada or Australia, and say Europe regarding this. In Europe the majority of buses and trucks don't need to travel long distances. And as the population in Europe is generally much more dense soon there will be a local infrastructure of recharging stations available everywhere, so even those that need to cross long distances won't have a big problem recharging more often. The regulations in EU are really strict on bus and truck drivers, so they have to make a lot of stops and take regular breaks anyway (every 4.5 hours IIRC)
without checking the date it really looks like the late 80s early 90s'
In the US the doctors would have done exactly the same thing: they would have proposed a treatment plan; the parents would have disagreed; the doctors would have gone to court and probably would have won.

But in the US there would have been the additional funding step: the parents would have had to get insurance companies to pay for futile treatment, and no compnay would do so, or the parents would have had to crowd-fund this treatment.

Here, for anyone interested, are some of the legal documents (in date order) around the Alfie Evans case. They clearly show that parents have a right to a family life and to care for their child as they see fit, but that this right isn't total because the child is also human and has his own human rights. The paramountcy principle mean that the rights of the child come before the rights of the parents.

Please note that because of the involvement of the Christian Legal Centre in some of the court cases there's been a lot of misinformation spread about the case.

I know that there's nothing I can say to change your mind: you have an ideological viewpoint, and that's okay. But I think you should at least acknowledge that your opinion is not based on fact.

TIL I'm an intermediate user of Vim! /s

I think this is pretty basic in terms of general vim commands. Navigation and insertion are all basic use cases that beginners should know. That said, the section about composing commands was really interesting!
Interesting. Kind of like how the evolution of our DNA works - we are fundamentally just imperfect replicators, introducing random mutations to the information. Ones that are deemed beneficial are propagated further, others are ostracized.
I'm assuming you're talking about the cheap laptop - its an Acer Aspire 3 with Ryzen 5 (equivalent of intel i5 + GPU) . It has conveniently removable slots at the bottom for HDD and RAM. I upgraded the RAM to 12GB by putting an additional 8gb and swapped the HDD to a Crucial MX500. It comes to roughly 500$ here in India.

There are two ACPI bugs (because of Acer bios issue), but the latest kernel (viz Fedora 30) has it working fine.
Great article! The features you showed were some of the ones I've had my first "Oh, now I get why vim is so great"-moments and that really boost your productivity.

> Tip: Generally after you’ve inserted some text, you want to return to command mode so that you’re ready to enter your next command. I’d recommend pressing esc any time you’ve finished typing.

Totally agree with this. What really helped me with getting this into my muscle memory was remapping Capslock to ESC which seems to be what many (most?) vim users do.
Fuel produced from anything farmed might be carbon neutral, but the process of farming itself has a huge impact on the environment. Also, we just have by far not enough farmland to come even close in supplying the traffic sector with fuels - while in many regions there still is a shortage of food. So with the exception of processing waste from food production, it is environmental-negative to use grown fuels. Solar cells are more than 10x more efficient per area used and can be mounted on top of roofs etc.
When toys r us was still in business, I went digital dumpster diving on all the 3rd party domain references to find the companies behind all of them. At the end of the day it seemed like pretty much every major tech company I could think of was getting a hit by my browser.

I'm not sure if this was the exception or norm - I was just curious because their website was soooo slooow.

A VAT, GST, or sales tax always affects only the final consumer, where as a revenue tax would dig into every stage whenever goods or services are moved between companies.

There is nothing inherently wrong about taxing the revenue at each stage as material flows between companies. Right now we tax those companies profitability instead, and at a much higher rate. So there is an incentive for companies to minimise profitability in terms of how much tax they have to pay. If instead we tax revenue directly it could simplify things and mean that they could optimise profit to some degree. It could lead to more vertical integration but it would also lead to the dissolution of accounting schemes between companies like the double Dutch Irish sandwich (or whatever it's called). Because every time a company makes revenue it would be taxed in that country.

In general you could think of a revenue tax as more of a land tax for companies. Real-estate owners generally pay government an amount per year which is just because they own that property. So think of a revenue tax as one which is applied to businesses.
Lucky :D
That's not a question about the English language. That's asking someone to use it.

The question of this nature about the English language would be "how do I know what order to put adjectives in?" and the answer would be something along the lines of "opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose".

I do think they would be unable to answer. The rule of course then goes deeper, into ablaut reduplication and so on. People master spoken English without knowing anything [0] about it.

[0] Yes, I know, I said "anything" and now your literalist side is jumping in joy at being able to say "Aha, aha, they DO know at least one thing and therefore your statement is not literally correct!" I don't care.
> It assumed an energy mix of today, instead of an increasing share of renewable energy in the future.

This is probably worth top billing. Even if electric vehicles were to produce more pollution _today_, they would still be a positive in that it would move a large part of the pollution problem upstream, where we have many more strategies available to solve it. Not entirely unlike an abstraction layer that produces worse performance today but enables performance-optimising refactoring tomorrow.
No big scale? Germany is in 2019 at 45% reneweables in the electricity mix so far. At the moment I am writing this, 30% of the electricity is provided by solar, 20% by wind energy.
Cash-like (or cash-equivalent) securities is a common expression in accounting and indicates highly liquid securities that can be liquidated in short term (less than 3 months usually). "These securities have a low-risk, low-return profile and include U.S. government Treasury bills, bank certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, corporate commercial paper and other money market instruments" (from Investopedia).

Find out various approaches to hack your girlfriend's phone?
My gf's is ignoring me so i don't know what to do with it. I am a bit doubtful that she has an affair so i need to keep an eye on her. Is there any way through which i could hack her phone? If there is any then do help.
I don't know why this has been downvoted, anyone who's had any contact with the UK police knows it's absolutely true.

I was attacked and injured a few years ago, in an area with really good CCTV. The police spent six weeks claiming to be "picking up the evidence soon", all the while I have the CCTV operator calling me every fortnight asking when the police are going to pick up the tape. They never did.

A few weeks later, the guy who attacked me turned up in the press. Arrested for robbing an old lady and leaving her in hospital.

Called the police back, "Oh. There's nothing we can do. It's your word against his, there's no evidence, and we've closed the case."

Called the CCTV operator. They still had the tape. "I can keep it for another week before I have to destroy it."

Called the police back, told them to go pick up the tape. "No. The case is closed."

All they had to do was tell a passing car to drop in with an evidence bag and even that was too much work for them.

And this was long before the police cuts. It's only got worse since.

More likely Zuck correctly saw that Google as the incumbent had much more to gain from such a scheme. Facebook wouldn't be where it is today without aggressively poaching employees from Google, in their early acquiring tech chops phase they were basically the inofficial open source arm of Google because they hired so many googlers who wrote near 1-to-1 clones of internal Google tech and later also released them as open source long before Google ever got around to releasing the real thing (buck, thrift, ...). These days of course, Facebook itself is a powerhouse of original tech.
This is a misunderstanding of ranges. Imagine you flip a coin 100 times and you only get 41 heads. Is this coin fair? 41 heads falls just within the 95% confidence interval for a fair coin over 100 flips, so you can answer yes in that regard. But things are not binary. It's all probabilistic. In other words, it's not like 40 heads = rigged coin, 41 = legit.

Your assumed interval is going to be a normal distribution. That means, if your assumption of it being a fair coin is correct, that you'll hit close to the perfect spot (50 in this case) disproportionately more often than you'll hit at the tails ends of your distribution. By contrast, now let's assume the coin was rigged to hit tails about 60% of the time. Now you'd be hitting extremely near that 41 constantly.

Climate predictions are annoying because we can only get one sample at a time on a time frame that generally requires years to decades, so it's really really hard to determine whether we're right or wrong. But what you can safely say is that the further you fall away from your expected value - the less probable it becomes that your hypothesis (of said expected value being true) was accurate. In other words hitting 1 on e.g. a range of 1 to 7 with an expected value of 3.5 is a much less likely scenario than hitting 1 on a range of 0.5 to 1.5 with an expected value of 1.
Which is basically like saying, I dunno, nothing?

There’s realllllly no such thing as a “lean angle limit” for two or three wheeled vehicles. Certainly not a simple number for one angle. You can whip out the definition of a limit within the context of calculus, but such pedantry is, uh, shall we say, silly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_death

Tire pressure, tire type, vehicle weight, road surface, weather conditions, velocity, driver experience level... For most people, the lean angle limit is 90 degrees, perfectly upright, at 5 miles an hour or less.

Many things work. Some are easier to do.
As an aside, we're not that far from boiling the oceans at the current rate of growth in energy usage. Maybe 400 years, IIRC.
I think it is clear that electric is the future, mostly because of better energy efficiency, simpler manufacturing, and falling battery prices.

What I don't know is how quickly this future will come, and whether CNG/LNG (to which engines of cars already in use can easily be converted) is the right thing for the next 10 years until electric vehicles are cheap, and charging and range aren't a problem anymore.

LNG/CNG burns much cleaner than diesel/gas and it is easier to refill than to recharge. As bonus, refitted engines retain the ability to run on gas if needed.

This was far more than just random chance. It's clear as day that quality of medical care makes a difference in outcomes, right? I have sent this discussion to the relatives in question so forgive me if I get the exact details wrong. But the median survival time for glioblastoma is fourteen months, and they were quite a while into that. Their original doctors were recommending palliative care (giving up on further medical treatment) with a couple of months expected survival.

My relatives live in a small city not known for its quality of medical care. They found the very best neurosurgeon in the country for glioblastoma and transferred him over with some difficulty. They learned that the initial surgeries were not done to a high quality or possibly even slightly botched - and the new surgeon was able to perform additional surgeries that were able to remove a significant amount of the tumour (and did follow-up surgeries later on). Of course this would extend a patient's lifespan!

The ketogenic diet now seems to be becoming a standard recommendation for glioblastoma treatment. There are TON of studies now. Here are a few more more. [1] [2] [3] Note the dates on these studies (2017-2018). Back when they looked at this, this was absolutely bleeding-edge stuff. Of course going to the cutting edge of the research, speaking to professors and using your brain to figure out what might help in your case will improve outcomes!

Regarding clinical trials, one can read up on / sign up for trials of treatments at different stages of the drug research pipeline. As the modelling spreadsheet in the link above shows, between 1-in-10 and 1-in-2 of these trials will result in FDA-approved treatments that will hit the market between 2 and 10 years from now. If your current expected survival time is in months, it is statistically worth implementing as many of these as possible, because at least one of them will probably work, and you don't have the time to wait for the FDA! You don't really care which one as, like you say, your sample size is N=1.

I shared this in the hope that some of the smart people on this forum would read this and know that this is something you may be able to do. We are engineers and scientists. We can read studies and think critically. We can spend a ton of time absorbing specialised information about the N=1 case that matters to us. Death comes for everyone and the above may not make a difference in many cases. But it turns out that sometimes it does! Don't treat medical care like a black box.

Putting That Airplane on the Map – Live and with Python
Depends on how do you produce electricity. In France where electricity is produced by nuclear power, it is certainly true. In countries like Germany for example where electricity is produced by burning coal, it might not be true.
What do you mean by "poor keyboards"?
If you want to be more environmental, use power when the current carbon intensity of the grid is low. Effectively you are then providing demand-side management to reduce overall carbon dioxide production.

But take computer games, for instance. The main character (or any important character) is usually very different from everyone around them. Both in the way they act, but also the way they look. Nobody wants to play as the NPC.

To me, that applies to real life as well. But it would seem that a lot of people want to stand out in a video game/movie/book etc., but conform in real life?
Nice checklist...

I'm not quite convinced about this as general advice :

> If you’re like me and never learned to touch type properly, just use the arrow keys, it’s fine, don’t worry about it.

When I decided to go all-in on Vim keys some time ago (trying to find plugins for everything), it didn't take long to transition to hjkl. I think it's easier and more convenient to stay near the home row rather than moving my hand over for the arrows. I don't strictly touch type either.
Is there a tension in designing a knowledge database for amateurs vs experts, and how do you mitigate or address it? Wikipedia has such a tension for a lot of topics.
Are you using Nuclear power as renewable in that figure?

https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...

35% renewable.

12% nuclear.
45% of electricity capacity NOT energy consumed. The distinction is extremely important.

Those percentages talk about how much capacity they have to produce electricity in Germany NOT how much they consume from that capacity (capacity factor is the important word and that's only between 20-40% of that capacity.

Plus those percentages is before you include how much energy is important.

In other words that number is highly highly misleading.
Another specialist Berlin shop to the list (modelmaking/art materials and tools) and very famous amoung architects:

https://www.modulor.de/en/store-berlin/
I cannot comment on the US numbers, but the German numbers are as following:
- total electricity production is around 600 TWh/year
- switching all cars to electricity would require about 120 TWh/year (44M cars x 14000km/year * 20kWh/100km)

That would be a 20% increase in electricity production required, but from that one can deduct quite a bit for fuel refining and distribution, better buffering of peak electricity production etc.

If you take the energy content of fuel, an electric car is roughly 4x as efficient as a combustion engine. While combustion engines may reach peak efficiencies of 40%, the average over the whole driving cycle is less than 20%, as the peak efficiency is only reached in a narrow band of power productions - usually at highway speeds. That is the reason hybrid cars save fuel, the electric component reduces the inefficiencies of certain parts of the driving cycle.

`Based on a modern stack` is a huge implied bias that something like PHP is old or bad. Who says that this is required for a modern CMS? If you ask me, PHP is a better bet for stability, predictability and well-known problem domain. Betting on React and Node.JS sounds good/sexy, but I immediately find myself hesitating because it sounds like you're worried about using hip technologies before defining whether or not they actually do anything more useful than the battle-tested ones.

pretty cool. We have struggled with doing this in Flask, because the whole codebase starts getting peppered with flask_context everywhere. So importing some libraries and code starts spawning flask.

>Per capita per year, the US consumes 13.0 MWh of electricity and 436.6 gallons of gasoline. With ~132k BTU of energy per gallon, that's 16.9 MWh.
>Let's say electric cars are 50% more efficient in terms of energy consumption

Let's look up the numbers, instead of guessing.

The average fuel economy of an american car is apparently 24.7 mpg, whereas a Tesla Model S gets 3.0 miles per kWhr.

So if you replace one with the other, you will need about 3.5 MWhr of extra electricity. 27% extra.

The good thing is that we should be able to charge the EVs at the time of our choosing, and maybe even discharge them into the grid when the power demand outweighs the generation. The utilisation of wind, solar and off-peak baseload power should increase.
Its a choice how people decide to account for it yes, the correct answer probably depends on the situation.

If electricity supplied to the grid is 50% wind, and 50% coal. You could sell 50% of your customers 100% green electricity, or sell 50% green electricity to all of your customers.

The former allows customer to put their money where their mouth is, and directly support the green energy build out. The latter may be more suitable for govt mandated targets.

The only thing that's unreasonable is counting green electricity twice.
Well, thats the point - we know that bio fuels have a huge negative environmental impact and won't scale, while we have a clear path to base the grid on reneweable production.
Is intake into that discharge channel controlled?

Flash flooding is a thing. In Hong Kong, the Drainage Services Department puts up warnings and runs TV ads to tell people to stay clear of discharge channels, lest they get swept away by flash flooding during heavy rains.

So if intake into the discharge channel is not controlled, isn't it kinda dangerous to film there?
DOM Enlightenmen
In my experience (which is very limited to be honest) I don't think you really need to worry about believing the "No" because VCs don't like to say no. You need to worry about believing the "Yes, but not just yet" because it's not really a yes.
That's not what I was talking about. If I say something that's awkward like that, it gets pointed out and that's fine.

My friend, randomly, said that I speak non-idiomatically / kinda awkwardly in general.

Great. What am I supposed to do with this information? I already know that. It's just frustrating, especially since at the time I was in a rut about my progress.
