> CO2 emissions are up to 30x higher by air

OK, but let's not overstate things. These numbers suggest it's typically a factor of 10 or less for normal (low-speed) trains.

https://www.seat61.com/CO2flights.htm

Given the scaling of air resistance with speed, I expect that for high-speed trains the ratio is significantly less, maybe ~5. (Better number welcome.) Once you factor in the larger upfront energy costs of rail infrastructure, trains still do better in terms of carbon output, but only after a lot of usage.

To expand on this, at the end of every contract is an SOW (statement of work). This explicitly and very clearly outlines what work is to be performed, how it will be performed, when it will be performed, and how long it will take.

At the end, I like to put a small sentence. The client can always request to change the scope or add things to the scope, the consultant will provide a cost and timeline for the change and once paid for, the consultant will perform the work.

I always say "yes" when a client asks for additional work. Then I tell them how much it's going to cost in addition to what we already agreed.

The number 1, cardinal rule, always is ... never work for free. If you don't value your work, nobody else will either.

When we talk about substantiveness, what we mean is that we want commenters to post information that has a reasonable trail back to our shared reality (another commenter here sometimes uses the phrase “connect the dots”). Anecdotes can be interesting and valuable, but they don't form a basis for such broad claims as you've made. So if you want to share an anecdote just share the anecdote, and if you want to make a claim please back it up with substantial evidence—and do so with consideration.

Just started reading/working through the book, "Building High Integrity Applications with Spark". I started with assembler, then basic and c, and took Turbo Pascal in the late 80s. I am very interested in safer, secure programming, and Spark and Rust seem to be approaching the hub from different spokes of the same wheel. I was playing with F/F# toolchain, but F is a bit formal for me, or at least not very clear for me.

The use of Spark on embedded devices, and CubeSats has sparked my interest ;)

I found the code and explanation in the article easy to follow although the subject matter is not in my domain.

> Like I realize some of it is modern C++ and maybe Microsoft was not focusing on desktop when C++ had these innovations

This is basically it, I think; COM and HANDLEs predate working standardised C++ compilers. MFC provides higher-level abstractions. Then everyone got distracted by managed runtimes. Finally C++ has a mostly-sane framework for universal usage of smart pointers, so this is bringing them back to the old Win32 era.

Unfortunately we can't get rid of wstring, but we can provide yet another layer of wrappers for it.
I have a brother who went through about a decade of off and on psychosis, had probably over 20 hospitalizations, multiple suicide attempts, he had schizophrenia. So I moved home and lived with him, I never fully believed the diagnosis. He was on such a cocktail of medicine, I don't think anyone could stay sane on all of that. We started getting him off the antipsychs, off the mood stabilizers, no wellbutrin etc. A year later he has had no psychotic episodes, no mania, is trying to quit smoking, and is more social. He still has his days in bed, but hes a real person, not a schizophrenic.

That depends entirely on how your electricity is generated, right? For example, French trains presumably do a lot better than merely 10x.
Tokyo Station to Haneda is 25 minutes transit, Chitose Airport to Sapporo Station is a 45 minute train ride, and you would want at least 20-30 mins before boarding to get through security (even in Japan). Add in a few minutes walking/waiting for trains and it takes that 1.5 hour plane ride up to 3.5 hours minimum.
> Smaller, poorer countries are easier to bribe, coerce or just plain intimidate than say France or Germany.

Not to mention, many of those countries are already being bullied and coerced by France and Germany anyway, so they may see some international abuse as the lesser of two evils.

Now, if countries like Romania could get their act together and stop accepting the free outward movement of people who they've just paid to educate, maybe the equation changes.
This looks pretty expensive compared to prices in South East Asia too. You pay between $10 - $30 for a prepared SIM with 10-15 gigs which comes down to $0.001 - $0.003 per megabyte.

backdating and forging online content is an interesting concept in itself. you see it accidentally crop up with the way google search indexes old online articles. the technology to convincingly alter the recent past creates a type of time-fraud risk. linked triple ledger networks with unique ids (public)(private)(authoritative) could solve this problem for individuals, but information validity might become as fungible as a memory or an idea. floating around in a byte-stream as easy as backspacing away my last sentence.

What I got from reading the thread last night was that due to some quirk of oracle a test restore would have been a destructive overwrite of the active data. Not sure if that's due to oracle hosting or if that was an incorrect impression.
I lean strongly toward your second paragraph. If we can make many core programming easier I think we can dispense with a ton of complexity and just scale out cores with transistor counts.

I think an under researched area is the application of deep learning to compilers. What could be done there for parallelism?

We are still kind of stuck in programming models developed back when core frequencies were scaling geometrically. We hit that wall in the early 2000's and still haven't quite assimilated it.

We are tackling it at the macro scale of multiple discrete systems via modern devops but the systems (e.g. Kubernetes) are baroque, clunky, and hard to manage.
It's even easier since the MSVC STL std::error_code (std::system_category) already does that.
Ditto. Even with America’s subpar train travel, I still love to take trains when I can.

I’ve done Chicago to New Orleans. New Orleans to New York. SF to LA. Each time I wrap up loving my experience.

Train travel, especially in the USA where it’s slow, can be more about the experience than the time to destination.

Exactly. Print out the whole thing, doesn't matter how many characters if you're trying to recover from something this drastic, and follow the general backup rule of "If you have 1 copy, you have 0, if you have 2, you have 1...." Put copies in different flood plains, ideally different parts of your country or the world.

While its not always possible, it's a good idea to use at least two completely different backup methods, avoiding single points of failure like in this case. For example, use a logical volume manager to make frozen copies of your filesystems, and back those up using something low level.

I’ve been using 1Blocker for a long time since back when there where few choices and it was clearly the best option. I like that it syncs with my desktop and use it with Safari on macOS too. I also like that it’s easy to whitelist sites, that it’s easy to block elements of specific sites, and that it’s an indie app.

I think the reason for not using the full EasyList is that Safari limits the number of content blocker rules to 50k, less than can accommodate the full EasyList. I wonder how AGP gets around that.

In any case, I rarely see ads with 1Blocker. The one thing it doesn’t block reliably is ad blocker detection, but I’m not sure that’s even possible for a Safari content blocker to do.

Looking at the App Store, I see there are a lot of blockers now. How did you decide on AGP over the others?

If there is a comprehensive theory it is that mental disorders and developmental disabilities come in layers.

You might have a genetic predisposition to certain problems, have that exacerbated by traumas, but learn how to compensate for them in some ways. You might do badly at certain things or certain situations but if you have support from other people, understand the difficulty, etc. you can do O.K.

The big trouble I think is that mental illness and developmental disabilities interact with the expectations that people have about others.

For instance much of the satisfaction parents get out of parenting is using their children as "self objects"; they want to dress them up, show them off, bask in their accomplishments, etc. An autistic child can't do that for them and they find that hard to accept.

The marketing of SSRI's is also distorted. They are prescribed a lot by primary care docs who need to be on top of a wide range of medical problems and can't be experts on mental health too. That is a good thing because they help people and it can be hard to get real help from a specialist.

Depression has many symptoms and for many people SSRIs help some symptoms but not others. For me, for instance, SSRIs help me control my emotions in situations where I might get overwhelmed and yell at people. I believe that they increase my self-control as opposed to suppress my emotions.

I have other symptoms that SSRIs don't help with, but I do feel like they've helped me a lot at being a parent.
I tried DDG in the past for privacy reasons but struggled due to poor results. Recently I switched to DDG because of poor results on Google.

If someone is not a threat to themselves or others, but has strange beliefs and behaviors, should we really take their freedom away just because we don’t think they are taking care of themselves adequately or we don’t like the sight/sound of them?

As someone with bipolar disorder (very stable since diagnosis and medication) I’m always a bit dismayed when people call for locking ill people up “for their own good.” (Not that you’re necessarily saying that - it’s just something I do see people advocating for sometimes).

I’m in SF and previously lived Tenderloin-adjacent so I’m quite familiar with the unfortunate cycle of mental illness and drug/alcohol abuse from self-medicating. It’s not a pretty sight and I do think we should do everything we can to help these most vulnerable people in society. I’m just not sure taking their liberty is necessarily the best course of action.

This is my absolute favourite sci-fi trilogy of all time. The part of the series where he describes the most complex navigation A.I. ever developed by humanity, on a ship that clamped onto an asteroid, setup a factory that mined it for fuel to redirect its course ... it was so incredibly well written, researched and believable. I read it while drunk on a bus and the next morning I just had to go back and read that entire chapter again.

For those who haven't read it, it's a really good series.

Written by Nick Cleg, who now works for Facebook - the Lib Dem party leader in the UK who destroyed the party for ten years by making a deal with the conservative government to enable them to implement an unpopular adgenda while acheiving nothing he promised to his voters.

For anyone from the UK, using Nick Clegg as a representative to help improve FBs reputation seems laughable.
Depends on how many passengers are on the train. Here in Ontario, the provincial trains along the busiest corridor in the province (probably the country) are, anecdotally, about 5% full per average unit distance travelled, even at peak times in the busiest legs of the corridor, you're likely to see about a fifth of the seats empty.

I doubt the GO train's passenger load factor is as good as AmTrak, for example.

I think it's highly naive to suggest that Google's leadership is operating in complete ignorance of their own product. This is the company of analytics - whatever approach is being taken is probably backed by a gargantuan amount of data.

That doesn't mean it's good for the web, but "what (the most) users want" is Google's strong point. And this is par for the "the internet is now 4 websites" course, so I don't think it's possible to claim that this isn't "how the internet works" anymore.

You know what I hate about google search possibly most of all? It doesn't list the actual URLs as hyperlinks. It lists part of them, and then has a google tracking URL as an actual link. Some times, I want to copy a URL without visiting it to use elsewhere. Sometimes, clicking it will cause the page to redirect, meaning I have to copy really quickly. I wish they would stop doing this.

For reference, you have to right-click and go to "copy link location"; then paste, and you will see.
We’re both making points based off anecdotal experience, so who knows. I have been a reader for the last 7 or 8 years, but my experience is just one subjective data-point.

So basically advertising is less constrained on the upside than transportation. The whole bit about 'they have to pay their drivers' is a red herring - the real constraint is that the price the riders are willing to pay is more constrained / lower than what advertisers are per user.

That might've been true in the past when the internet was still young and there wasn't as much data around to monopolize. Look at the history of the auto industry to see how the development of a new tech industry plays out long term. To be overly reductive, thousands of companies got distilled to GM + Ford (like Google + Facebook).

Data is the most valuable commodity today. The mountain of data and network effects Google has cultivated ensure they will remain on top for the foreseeable future. It's similar to the crazy expensive industrial supply chains that manufacturers in the past leaned on to maintain their market position. No other company (outside maybe Facebook/Amazon) has that kind of a data moat.
