This. The government artificially restricted supply, driving up demand, and then pulled the rug out from under taxi drivers by refusing to regulate ride hailing in a similar manner.

At least there are buybacks happening in some countries now to try and fix the whole mess: https://thewest.com.au/news/wa/government-to-introduce-taxi-...
Ah, seems the Rust cargo cult is taking revenge on my disparagement by downvoting me; feel free to reply and explain why you think my comment is not constructive to the conversation, rather than just drive-by down voting. Thanks!

Edit: changed "Racket" to "Rust"
That's right, they have cleverly avoiding taking on huge levels of debt by making their drivers do it instead - financed by Uber, of course!
One reason you may not see CTE's or temp tables included in these articles is because their specifics are tightly coupled to the schema of your DB. It's hard to write a generic example in Stack Overflow that would work for someone else.

But like you said: if you know the DB schema then temp tables make SQL easier to read, write, and reason about.
He has now tweeted an update acknowledging that the artist from whom he licensed the music may not have had the right to claim sampled music as their own. Another update urges others to ensure that licensees actually have the right to license the work that they claim as original. This is the only top-level comment that offers actual information on why this may have happened and it was downvoted for a difference of perspective informed by that information.
QBASIC.EXE was present in NT4. It was there until Win2K. I'm not sure if QBASIC was distributed with any 9x Windows.
Just read about "The Laws of Simplicity" and "The design of everyday things".

They seem to be frequently recommended. Anybody any experience with these?

Big thanks in advance!
With nvidia, you must absolutely make sure you are using the proprietary drivers if you want a good experience. Some distros (like Pop OS) use these out of the box, but most (like Debian) use open-source nouveau.
In case you didn't know, something very close to what you're describing happened, and makes your comment seem extremely insensitive.

I wonder if this will be the catalyst for foreign companies to stop using US technology. For everything that the US has done to other countries over the years, US tech companies have somewhat maintained their independence. Now that US companies are being compelled to not sell to various Chinese companies, it could be a wake-up call to the rest of the world that US companies are now simply another arm of the US government.
For me, the "logic" goes like this: my cat wants to go outside, so I let him outside. (He was neutered, so not going to make any more cats.)

He's an adult (cat) and can make his own decisions.

I won't let my (small) fear of his death imeped his (great) desire to go outside.

Update: he lived a long-for-a-cat happy life and passed peacefully several years ago.
I agree, mostly.

The more experience I gain, the less I’m concerned about refactorable, local issues. Distributed systems is hard. Scaling is hard. Data consistency is hard. Security is hard. API design is hard. Refactoring a local code base to extract out methods and implement interfaces, much less so.

These days if the biggest problem we have is a monolithic service is badly coded (but is correct and works), it’s something I’ll take.

Many of the downvotes may be because this comment feels like incredibly poor taste, given there was already a shooting incident at YouTube where people (in that case, the shooter) lost their lives.

You may not have been aware of that.
Unless evidence becomes available to make such distinctions becomes available it is confusing and misleading to define autism differently than the standard way.

It is really dangerous to claim that autism can't be a serious condition unless it is alongside low IQ or physiological symptoms. It is also entirely unnecessary to stigmatise autism by calling it a disease, when it is so often inextricably linked to a persons personality.

Those with autism absolutely can be high functioning in the sense that they don't have the kind of co-occurring conditions that you describe. This does not always mean they do not need what most would see as drastic interventions and care.

People with autism often have a high ability to function on some social axis but are dangerously unaware of social conventions in others. Those with autism that lack the proper support can hurt themselves, they can hurt others, they can cause massive social disruption and they can end up with serious mental health problems. A diagnosis of autism can help society to provide much needed support.

We owe it to everyone in society to think about how we can help people without considering their states of existence defective.

I don't think you can do this with traditional dynamic linkers — the separate memory space is not so difficult (requires relocatable libraries, -fPIC, which is usually already enabled on ASLR systems) — but you would want to be able to load the same .so twice without symbol naming conflicts. I don't think most dynamic linkers (ld-linux / rtld-elf) support that. I could be mistaken, I am not very familiar with any implementation.

There is nothing preventing you from adding this support to an existing dynamic linker and using it for your program, though.
No, my computer, as most today, has plenty of power to emulate the C64 with cycle-accurate speed (at least close to), so it should be exactly the same performance as on a real C64.

I even switched to unthrottled at times, which with my setup gives about what a ~9MHz C64 would be like. The real one is about 1MHz. Even that was very slow.
Great sheet, thanks for posting.

I've been waiting for the next run of the Skyreach S4 Mini to finish my sff build. It's gorgeous.
maybe this brings up a general question. If the effects of aspirin are so complex and interact with so many different forms of complications and benefits, is it even sensible to make a recommendation based on individual factors?

Is maybe some other methodology preferable, like aggregating all the negatives and positives and just make a sort of statistical recommendation?
This looks to me like the usual textbook examples of inheritance that usually fall apart quickly when they get in touch with reality.
Excellent, thank you for creating UXY!

I will donate $50 to you or your favorite charity to encourage a new feature: to-usv, which outputs Unicode separated values (USV) with unit separator U+241F and record separator U+241E.

Unicode separated values (USV) are much like comma separated values (CSV), tab separated values (TSV) a.k.a. tab delimited format (TDF), and ASCII separated values (ASV) a.k.a. DEL (Delimited ASCII).

The advantages of USV for me are that USV handles text that happens to contain commas and/or tabs and/or newlines, and also having a visual character representation.

For example USV is great for me within typical source code, such as Unix scripts, because the characters show up, and also easy to copy/paste, and also easy to use within various kinds of editor search boxes.

Bonus: if the programming implementation of to-usv calls a more-flexible function that takes a unit separator string and a record separator string, then you can easily create similar commands for to-asv, to-csv, etc.
I did the same, but found the touch screen controls to be lacking. I even tried mapping the buttons to keys on my BlackBerry KeyOne, and it was just not a great experience.

Instead, I installed custom firmware[0] on my Nintendo 3DS, which was just collecting dust. This lets you install any GB, GBA, or DSi game onto the SD card, in addition to the vast 3DS library. (Regular DS games can only be played from cartridges). Notably, this is often used for piracy, but I've mostly been re-playing old GBA games from my youth that I own the cartridges for (I don't condone piracy).

The 3DS is a dedicated player, so it has proper buttons, joy sticks, and a directional pad. It's also pocket-able, unlike the comparatively massive Nintendo Switch.

The Legend of Zelda is my all-time favourite game series, and I can play 10 of the main games natively on my 3DS, which is actually quite amazing. Many of the other I can play on my WiiU.

This is what my dad explained to me and is further the reason he never helped me down from trees. I'm super thankful for this; I love climbing trees. (And have never seen cat bones in them)
Seconding this. I used to really care about code maintainability, cleanliness, and other topics super important to us engineers.

4 years in The Valley have quickly dissuaded me of such foolish naive notions. Your code (outside some common sense basics) is completely irrelevant. Whatever you can stick together with duct tape and chewing gum is almost always the best solution. All the business wants is speed. By the time "bugs" is the highest reason for churn ... well you're likely going to be on your 5th employer by the time your first employer reaches that point.

Absolutely nobody in the real world cares about the quality of your code. They just want to do their job with as little interaction with your software as possible and move on.

It's kinda sad really how much time we waste talking about the best way to hold a hammer, the best hammer you can use, the best nails etc. when all our customers want is the picture to be up on the wall already.

Edit: One important addition -> If you're senior and you see juniors writing "bad code" on your team, your job isn't to teach them why it's bad. Your job is to create systems that make good code easier and more obvious to write than bad code. Be the force multiplier.

Once you get away from the hustle and bustle of the border towns, Mexico is the land of sun and flavor.
I've got family that live like Kings off thier civil service pension in oceanfront villas just a few short miles south of here.
There were scary stories about the narco related violence all over the news a while ago and I'm sure it's still happening but in my experience if you don't go looking for trouble you don't find it.
I understand why the locals want to leave for better opportunities.
I also understand why the locals on this side of the border head south- for better opportunities.
Yes,Mexico has some issues
Just like everywhere else
But the housing is cheaper and sometimes even better than what you get in southern California.
Beer is cheaper (Coronas are about 10$ a case)
People are friendlier and really have a honorable culture compared to where I live now.
Food prices are basically comparable in the cities with all your favorite brands ( produce is better than USA imho)
Most places have less regulation regarding building codes and zoning although I understand this cuts both ways but basically if you get the land( they do 99yr leases instead of ownership unless you are a citizen)
If you get the land- you can build to your hearts content.
There is a huge population of usa people there already and from countries far and wide and the locals for the most part embrace development .
I could go on and on
Theoretically, if this proposal lands, all of the Python stdlib will have to be fixed not to have global state — the main concern would be 3rd party C libraries, I think.
ECC is probably less important for ZFS than it is for just about any other filesystem.

Wait, you didn't finish the story. Now that RideAustin is once again (presumably) paying the better rates, why don't the drivers just switch back? Did RideAustin go out of business?

> Rideshare drivers are essentially a captive labor force that must accept all conditions to work without really any say over what they're paid.

They clearly aren't "captive", otherwise they couldn't have just switched to RideAustin in the first place. Nothing stops them from becoming completely independent drivers either, but then they need to find their own customers.

In the end, they are getting paid market rates. Maybe those rates are really bad, but that's just what happens when supply is far larger than demand. Prices are always driven down by the people at the bottom, how can Uber/Lyft be faulted for that?
The sad part is capitalism can probably help solve these problems, but the professed "ardent free market capitalists" are too devoted to the religion to consider it. They conveniently ignore that unconscious people can't perform price discovery, forget that one of the core tenants of a functioning free market is free flow of pricing information, deny the very existence of externalities. Essentially, there is a list of conditions required for the invisible hand to function well, but they seem uninterested, even hostile, to attempting to establish those conditions.

I struggle to understand how they get so out of whack with even the very basics. Do they chose their preferred outcome and work backwards? Are they beholden/captured? Did deifying the free market close the door to tweaking markets to adjust outcomes (a deity is always right)?
if allows baseband chip firmware update, then yes
I'm not sure having input into government regulation would have helped as much as just having someone more knowledgeable look at the terms of the loan?

Maybe there should be a limit to how big a loan you can sign without getting some kind of legal help?
I was aware of the incident, but I thought it was related to a jilted lover.

It'll happen again.
Being a nurse or care technician in a hospital is more dangerous than being a cop in terms of being physically assaulted. They are often females on 1-to-1 assignment with mentally ill men that often attempt to attack & rape them.
That's a step in the wrong direction: preventing abuse will always be better than legitimizing it.
Also interested to know. AFIAK Huawei is being used for all UK 5G rollouts, and there are already 1000s of masts up (though not commercially active yet) for 5G. Plus I imagine they have a very big marketshare of LTE kit going in as well.

Huawei is also the vast majority of cabinets for VDSL in the UK (the ECI alternative which was deployed has been pulled as was really low quality compared to the Huawei kit). My rough guess there is at least 20,000 DSLAMs on nearly every streeet corner that are built by Huawei.

At least in the UK it is hard to see how the country can run without this kit, and it would be an enormous undertaking to pull it out. I'm sure many other European countries are the same as Huawei's kit is definitely technically the best for this kind of stuff as far as my knowledge goes.
Think this will have long reaching ramifications. Huawei is much closer to the Chinese government than ZTE was - this won't go without repercussions.

A version of Android/replacement to Android that is used by most Chinese phones but not in the hands of Google seems like the inevitable outcome.

We already know China can produce world class hardware - I wonder how they will fare at operating systems.

It's not an easy task.
Even using the "right" architecture or tech stack doesn't matter that much. All business problems can be solved with any language, with a monolith or a fleet of microservices, it doesn't matter.

What matters is to ship code that brings a solution to the client's problem.
If I understand correctly, the distinction between immediate mode GUI and retained is that in the former, there aren’t stateful widgets so there is no copy to reconcile.
The customer does generally prefer it if the picture doesn't fall off the wall the moment you leave, though.
A car isn’t a video game where the worst thing that a bug does is ctd. Sometimes cars are recalled years later because they burst into flames due to a poorly designed component. Who handles teslas recalls after tesla? And who repairs your tesla when the only people approved to repair teslas is tesla? Who keeps making oem parts? This is a lot more complex than call of duty 4 losing dedicated servers.
Have you looked into Intel NUCs? I had a 6i7kyk for a while and it was just unbelievable.
> My daughter plays Roblox and act as everyone's go to for all questions revolving around that game.

Feel free to ignore this if she's not interested, but you could try...

Show her the roblox development kit, and show her how to walk through the tutorials for setting up a basic obby (obstacle course), then when she's playing a game ask her fi there's something she thinks would be a cool idea, then show her how to implement just that tiny idea.

Then get her to come up with an idea for a game, and a bunch of ideas for what happens in it and how it flows, and help her create it, and then polish it up a bit, and publish it so her friends can play it.
I thought the conditions he is concerned about are not merely bad weather. Doesn't his statement hint at giving up on self driving in SF/NYC/London urban traffic?
What's New in Matplotlib 3.1
I'd love to see a forensic level reverse engineering/technical audit of the Nexus 6P hardware.

In reality Chinese intelligence likely wasn't stupid enough to try anything there, but I often wonder how many eyes Google had on hardware security for that project considering it was Huawei making their flagship phone at the time.

I also wonder if there were any NSA efforts to tear the thing apart, since they are likely better qualified and have more experience in that realm.
Cool project!

Have you considered having a way to render output in a graphical toolkit?

See for example:

https://github.com/dharmatech/PsReplWpf

which renders PowerShell output in WPF presentations.
Xiaomi doesn't sell networking equipment, which is why Huawei is targeted.
This where the "some common sense" basics part comes into play.
I hate to be the "BBC Model B" guy :)

But anyway, back in the mid 80's I wrote a ton of dBase II code (using WordStar as my editor - I think it was v2), for my employer and at the time couldn't afford a full blown PC (I owned a BBC 'B') so he let me borrow a Torch Z80 co-processor which ran a variant of CP/M called CP/N. It worked like a treat. It used the Beeb's "Tube" interface that basically turned the BBC micro into an I/O device - not unlike the Commodore effort. John, now sadly gone from our mortal coil, was an official BBC/Acorn outlet, so we got to play with a lot of toys.

I don't remember the mechanics of getting my code to and from the office CP/M PC's at the time; even under Torch CP/N I seem to remember that BBC drives weren't compatible with real CP/M/MS-DOS PC's - I think I may have transported my code through the medium of floppy disc and used a BBC Micro in the office to squirt my code to/from via serial cable and some XModem/Kermit type of affair, which was no biggy because we already moved data between DG mini's (John was also a Data General broker) to/from PC's anyway. This was all before the joy of ethernet, though we did have a bunch of machines that ran a thing called SageNet(?) which was a kind of network. It's a long time ago, my memories are fading now :)

As a final tangent, we initially had a NEC PC8800 and a NEC Advanced Personal Computer - which were lovely bits of kit for their day. We eventually moved to a bunch of PC "clones" (one made by Ferranti which was a really odd thing). I have other stories, but that'll do for now.
The web already is the biggest, most comprehensive library and store of collective knowledge in human history.

But it shouldn't just be that.
Agreed… I live in NYC, and in general when I travel to other cities you can see how much better the food cart situation in other places (for example, if I travel, I often see food carts that are closed so the operators can take time off).

Yes, Apple actively stabotage right to repair. I'm not a fan o them because of that and some other things. But at the same time iPhones are pretty sturdy phones with OTA updates spanning years, while most android manufacturers seem not to care.
It's a similar telescoping training problem in Radiology. We can train someone to have basic proficiency in interpreting a specific imaging examination in a relatively short period of time, but building the knowledge base, following up ambiguous diagnoses with pathology correlation, and seeing sufficient volume requires 5 years after internship. This doesn't even include all the knowledge we have to know for image acquisition, artifacts, and protocol design/QA. After all, you don't see what you don't know.

Yes you can look at case books and question banks and sample teaching cases, but until you are dictating the case primarily and have to decide whether to call a diagnosis which will have profound downstream treatment implications, it's a very different experience. While most specialists are comfortable with their area of imaging, I'm talking Radiologists remote reading cases for a rural location, where their report will determine if the patient is transferred and to where, with significant costs to the system and the patient if they are wrong.

I'm not sure how to "fix" it other than adopt a variant of the "commonwealth" competency-based system in Australia, where residencies have "usual" terms but if someone is competent and willing to sit the board certification exam early, they can try.
Centuries after independence, seems like the former colonies keep mirroring the relationship of their former colonizers - Spanish-speakers going north to work, English-speakers going south to retire.
Not all that surprising. A couple years ago a company called Long Island Ice Tea Corp. changed their name to Long Island Blockchain and their stock shot up 289%.

Here's how one police commander recalled a wiretapped conversation between two mob members:

"We're polluting our own house and our own land," the mobster said. "What are we going to drink?"

"You idiot," the boss replied. "We'll drink mineral water."
The main weakness is the one pas described in the sibling comment. Historically, Python C modules, inside and outside stdlib, have more or less safely been able to assume there was one global interpreter. This means they may have global state (apparently even some stdlib C libraries assume this). With multiple interpreters in the same process address space, any global state in C modules conflicts.

I'm not claiming any originality here — the author of the article recognizes this problem and describes it, starting with:

> Because CPython has been implemented with a single interpreter for so long, many parts of the code base use the “Runtime State” instead of the “Interpreter State”, so if PEP554 were to be merged in it’s current form there would still be many issues.
