The EU's own laws don't distinguish between EU countries, you need only label something as "made in the EU". But, they still can't lie – "from Italian olives" had to mean that.

You could buy olive oil from a producer in an area with protected origin status, similar to Champagne for wine. That's likely to cost more.

Heh, yeah people complain about that generation of cars from VAG quite a bit.

I had a MK4 Golf with the 1.8T that I raced every month for a few years and also drove to work. It broke a couple times, but wasn't unreliable. I think this was partly because I did preventative maintenance.

I think - the motors were fine for the MK4s, but everything around them had one problem or another.

The motor is going into my next car... :)

He basically made the Marzipan apps we have today. They are at best passable apps, but hoisting a couple of buttons into the title bar and using the same bland "large sidebar tableview" style does not make an app into a good Mac app. Apple has not yet provided the APIs to make these apps good Mac apps. Calling these apps "good" is quite a stretch.

(Before someone mentions it: yes, I know he has improved his apps since his blog post, but it's mostly just been in response to people saying that he's missing something that AppKit provides for free, and he will go in and monkey patch the thing in hackish way and call it a day. I have a feeling that he actually personally thinks that these are good apps and is annoyed that people are calling him out for believing this.)

Well that's the thing — it's not new. It dates back to the 1920s. I heard about it years ago, so for physicians in late 2017 to watch for months as a patient with antibiotic-resistant infections declines and then to "send her home with palliative care" — that is just appallingly negligent.
Why would you want water carried from halfway around the planet anyway? That's an awful waste of resources.
I was watching the evacuation video and as soon as I saw an idiot going down the slides with 3 bags I realised the death toll would be unnecessarily high. It’s safe to say those 3 bags cost 3 lives or more. What utter selfishness and stupidity.

wonderful sentiment. Too many occassions pass where we miss out on these moments because we're worried too much about productivity.
I know not to, and yet, knowing that, I probably would anyway. Sigh.

Mostly because I don't feel like it would slow me down. Even though I know intellectually it would.

Airplanes need wider aisles. That's all. It's as simple as that. The ones they have now are just too narrow.

Does it really cost that much to increase space? Isn't the main operating cost of a plane weight, not volume?
To this day, I still don't take more than a very small backpack on board any aircraft with me. I don't understand people taking huge roll ons with them in the passenger compartment?

Is it really too much to check the bags in and wait at the baggage carousel at the other end to retrieve them? Airlines need to can the exorbitant baggage fees to encourage people to check bags into the hold rather than try and take their entire 2 weeks vacation worth of stuff with them in the cabin.

It is particularly annoying that on almost every flight I am on, I have to remove my very small and light backpack (usually just containing a book and my phone, headphones etc.) from the overhead bins and am forced to stow it under my feet in front of me (I am quite tall, and prefer nothing on the floor in front of me to prevent me stretching my legs in the limited room available) in order to make room for hundreds of others who can't bear to wait a few more minutes at the destination airport. I try to travel light and take up as little room as possible on the plane, and I get penalised because too many people try to do the opposite. It is a lose-lose endgame.

Increase the incentives to check bags in the hold, restrict carry on even further - that should make it a much more pleasant cabin experience, even in a non emergency.

Pournelle's iron law of bureaucracy describes one of the underlying dynamics: "...in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. Examples in education would be teachers who work and sacrifice to teach children, vs. union representatives who work to protect any teacher including the most incompetent. The Iron law states that in all cases, the second type of person will always gain control of the organization, and will always write the rules under which the organization functions"

I read the entire article, and it just drops that conclusion out of nowhere. It offers nothing to support the second part: no data, no arguments, not even a hypothesis.

At best you can say that the reduction in middle-class rents didn't immediately cause a reduction in lower-class rents. Why is that an argument against? Is it inherently bad to improve middle-class living conditions?

I honestly fail to see the left-wing case for taking the side of wealthy, unproductive landlords against middle-class workers engaged in productive occupations.

I'm a little surprised on this. I see Blue Origin as being small on talk. They have been mostly operating in stealth mode. Public isn't really that aware of them, at least no where near the level of SpaceX. They only get publicity when they meet a milestone. Which the thing is that they haven't promised much, but met those milestones on time.

iOS may "win" in the sense that UIKit on the Mac gets the blessing of being the preferred way to develop apps, but I would eat my hat if Apple decided that UIPickerView's stupid spinny wheel was the "new" way of doing list selection on macOS. I think it is significantly more likely that UIPickerView ends up being "themed" on macOS to look like NSPopUpButton.

I originally learned Objective-C and Cocoa in 2001, and released my first Mac OS X app in 2003. When the iPhone OS SDK came out in 2008, it had been a while since I had written software for an Apple device.

Nowadays, I probably spend between 10-40 hours each week writing Obj-C and Swift against UIKit, but never the long-in-tooth AppKit.

I’m excited to get back to building Mac apps, and porting OneBusAway to the Mac this summer. It’ll be nice to not have to pull my phone out of my pocket or launch a simulator to be able to tell my wife about when she needs to leave for the bus.

There will be a lot of garbage apps, but this is no different from what already exists on iOS. And when was the last time you looked at the Mac App Store anyway? I only ever use it to install Xcode updates.
I think most people don't check bags because airlines lose luggage all the time.
Google releases 53 gender fluid emoji
Agreed. It should be illegal to charge for checked luggage. The unintended costs of that are just too much.

They will gate-check stuff for free at least. They should make it a policy, under a certain weight free checked luggage at the ticket counter.
At least one aggrevating factor seems to me to be the fault of the airlines.

They were so busy adding fees to checked-in luggage that everybody now tries to stuff everything into their carry-on.

If the majority of people's luggage was checked in, it would not make the problem go away, but some selfish idiot running out with his laptop under his arm is a lot different than the same idiot trying to get his laptop AND his oversized wheelie bag off the plane.

In my own recent experience, Julia is awesome but documentation could be sometimes clearer (eg. missing examples with each method, missing cross references). Also, when searching for details on some features, it's hard to figure which version someone is talking about, it seems some versions (0.6 for example) were there for ages and most forums refer to it but some stuff is now deprecated or replaced.

Otherwise, I would probably use it for everything now given the performance and the very good FFI story.

Marzipan is an internal framework for running apps written for iPhone on macOS, set to be publicly released to developers this June at WWDC. Since the UI paradigms for the platform differ, it's an open question what will happen in these cases and whether the resultant apps will be of high quality. Many developers predict this as being an opportunity for Apple to adopt a new UI paradigm for macOS apps that matches that of iOS more closely.

I will keep that in mind when I refuse to pay my taxes and have them throw me in a metal cage, or shoot me were I to resist. If this is not actual violence to you, I am not sure what is.

Maybe not resisting in this case would prevent another (but not all) "actual violence", too, completely ignoring the fact that it does not have to actually come to it in the first place.

I am never going to understand people who propose that violence is a necessary evil in all cases to prevent further violence. Maybe the US needs to do more of that effective bombing of countries. Think smart: no humans to stick around to be violent! We successfully prevented violence!

At the bottom of which is this interesting paragraph:

And for a slightly different perspective, here are some comments from Christine Negroni, aviation safety journalist and author of the Flying Lessons blog:

Like you, I found myself shaking my head when I saw the videos or read reports of people taking their carry on luggage off the plane. Then I interviewed a passenger on Asiana 214 [the 2013 crash-landing of a 777 in San Francisco] who had done so and was surprised by his explanation. He told me that when the plane came to a stop and the evacuation began, he acted by habit in gathering his things and only afterward did he realize what he was doing. So I think we cannot discount the effect of altered state of consciousness as playing a role in this behavior. You may have read about this as a form of “negative panic.”

Which may lead to a revision of Hanlon’s razor:

”Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by indifference.”
My five year old often struggles with compliance until someone explains "why." I suspect that adults aren't much different except for a stronger ability to suppress that reaction. Maybe, as the fine article mentions, rethinking safety briefings to include language that implies solid reasoning would lead to focus in the event of a disaster like this.

After all, it's completely understandable to be thinking only of oneself in a high-stress, unexpected, and possibly life-threatening circumstance. Including brief supportive reasoning reminding people of others' safety might have positive effects.
You have time to decide if the community might like it but not if yourselves do? Bit weird.
The problem is that, no matter how cheap your fuel is, you have to build a launcher that can lift off while carrying all that fuel. It's expensive to make a pressure vessel that strong and light and large, engines that powerful, etc.

If launch gets cheap enough given current launcher sizes, you can get into in-orbit assembly, but that requires immense investment into robotics or a lot of spending to support (machine-assisted) human construction workers. i.e. you can't launch Apollo as a single package on Falcon 9s no matter how many you can afford, and if you want to send it up in multiple packages you need to either make the spacecraft bigger and bulkier and more expensive so that it's modular, or send up a few times the mass of the resulting spacecraft in assembly robots or construction workers' habitats.

(That's why Starship is so exciting even if it doesn't end up meeting Musk's cost targets, and why SLS has been so enticing for NASA despite its shitshow of a development process - putting up a single large payload in one launch is an advantage in and of itself.)
or because airlines charge very high prices for ability to check in your luggage.
I have little hope for Marzipan. Apple’s own Marzipan apps are meh at best.

And then on iOS... iOS’ own dashboard no longer works in landscape mode. Apple’s own Books app’s interface only has portrait mode. And this from a company which expects other devs to be able to create universal apps that target different screens and interaction modes.
The surface area increases with the square of linear dimensions. So increasing aisle space meaningfully would make planes significantly heavier—unless you’re suggesting making seats narrower to compensate.

One more question: What was the motivation behind defining "sum({})" to be "0" rather then "{}" ?
I really appreciate the amount of detail and scope in the Wolfram technology. However, I think the language design and the understanding of what makes a good language is quite flawed...

Just one example from the article:
"While the core of a standard programming language typically has perhaps a few tens of primitive functions built in, the Wolfram Language has more than 5600—with many of those individually representing major pieces of computational intelligence"

Looking at those "primitives" I would rather interpret them as "functions" or even "Classes" instead of primitives. And other languages have indeed lots of them, arguably more than the Wolfram language. Which leads to another problem with the language design: Most of those functions are too restricted and too unextendable imo. Also the tech is a quite closed system. This makes it hard to really built upon all the great work the Wolfram team puts into the technology.

> Say you are writing some medical software that has to diagnose patient based on some inputs. You, as a programmer, are not a doctor and you can't "make" it your expertise within the time constraints of the project.

Yes you can, and in fact you must. Any programmer that has to write medical software needs to understand the underlying medicine at play. Sure, medical professionals can provide guidance, but you can't trust them blindly. You need to understand their rationales and assumptions, and to do that, you need to understand the underlying material. A programmer developing a heart monitor needs to have a good understanding of cardiology.

For an article about nothing, I wasn't expecting so much of it. I'm afraid that I wasn't able to read the whole thing. My biggest criticism is that I think there are too many connections drawn at various points. It's one of those things where X led me to Y which led me to Z, but X doesn't really have any bearing on Z at all. Because a path led there, it gives credence to the idea that they are connected, but the only connection is the author. In that way, I found it difficult to read as I felt I was searching for a needle in a haystack. I don't need the author's stream of consciousness in order to do nothing. I have my own. I kept wondering why I am looking at her rose garden and her birds rather than looking at my own.

There are two related issues: one is density overall, and the other is the housing to jobs ratio.

Adding a tall office building adds to density but skews the housing to jobs ratio. Probably increases inequality, worsens transit problems, and increases housing prices.

Adding a tall apartment building in SF or Palo Alto would rebalance the ratio of jobs to housing, alleviate transit problems, and make housing more affordable.

I guess the article is arguing that imcreasing density in the abstact increases inequality, which may be true. But the argument is not to just "build"; it's "build housing to rebalance the ratio" which actually would solve a lot of problems.

Density had positives and negatives. If you want to keep a given density ina given city, then fine. But crazy skew where you puts jobs far from housing is just bad policy.

It might be more precise to say "either build housing or raze office space" but it seems a little ridiculous to tear down vibrant office buildings, so the answer is to build housing.
