EGA (640×350) came out in late 1984 and was the first reasonably decent color display on the IBM PC. Prior to that you mostly had a choice between mono text, really crappy CGA color graphics, or something proprietary like the Hercules mono graphics.
The article covers this:

> Researchers have found remnants of cannabis at ancient sites in Central Asia before, but the latest discovery points to the intentional use of plants with high levels of the active compound, THC, and to cannabis being inhaled rather than ingested.

and later:

> “To our excitement we identified the biomarkers of cannabis, notably chemicals related to the psychoactive properties of the plant,” said Yimin Yang at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Specifically, the scientists found cannabinol, a substance produced when THC is oxidised. Given the lack of other cannabis breakdown products, the scientists believe the plants were selected to be high in THC, but whether they were cultivated or found in the wild is unclear.
> yet people like yourself insist that it is.

I absolutely did not. Did you read my comment carefully?

> Ironically, this is effectively the approach people in this thread are arguing for, except without the bus ticket.

Another irony: you're lumping all homeless people — criminals and victims — into the same bucket, which is the criticism many homeless advocates have of "NIMBYs". What I think many people in this thread are saying is that repeated offending criminals should be locked up. Some of those people happen to be homeless, but I don't see comments in this thread arguing that non-criminal homeless people should be discarded.

>But would the alternative of designing and manufacturing many different aircraft be cheaper?

Ultimately yes.

You can be much more agile when you aren't trying to satisfy a large collection of armed services, nations, and mission roles many of whom are mostly interested in putting their mark on something instead of making it better.

>And would it be as effective?

Not if your definition of effective is ability of one aircraft to do everything. If your definition of effective is forces ability to achieve goals, then yes a set of aircraft specialists can be better than one generalist.
>Of course, with a statement like that, there will always be plenty of butsayers. "But..." [and here goes a list of various muddy reasons why everything is relative].

I'll start off by saying that in a world without Saudi oil, the world economy will collapse, and the economic prosperity implicitly assumed by our modern progressive values will evaporate, leaving us with a Stone Age economy and the Medieval values that come with it.

IP law in this country need to go away. It doesn't help the market as a whole, it doesn't encourage content creation it encourages legal spending and manipulation.

You shouldn't get paid for having and idea you should get paid and be excited to create content to be first to market and have an consumer base. If somebody can come along and do it better there should be no legal barriers. The result is a highly competitive iterative market that grows exponentially and benefits the consumer. The only protections should be around branding ie you say you are who you are. Everything else can be accomplished with trade secrets. This is especially true when you consider the world is shrinking and the lvels of control are local only. So all of your competitors abroad are benefiting from it while locally we waste millions arguing in court over who is allowed to bring product to market. It creates things like the epi pen markup. There was an alternative, cheaper within a few days but they were blocked from marketing and change the applicator to avoid a broad patent on it.

Also would like to point out that there is a reason why patents and io don't exist in some of the oldest markets (food/clothing). Because otherwise there would be no industry or growth. They live on brand protection and secrets..
> ... having v4 and v6 addresses ...

You're talking about IPv6 now, which this thread isn't about.

IPv6 implementations that support IPv4 do have separate stacks, because IPv6 is too darned different.

>the threat from IBM mentioned in the article. Peanuts turned out to be the ill-fated PCjr that had good graphics and a bad price point for the home market.

Excel is an excellent tool, the most democratic data tool out there (and for the foreseeable short term future).

Whether you are a finance person working on balancing the sheets (or whatever else they do, that's beyond my knowledge) or an operation person building complex macros, it is both versatile, easy to use and yet powerful.

The byproducts of this is that it is also subverted by the genius of human ingenuity and you end up with some pretty interesting, awe-inspiring contraptions.

Such as building a calendar system but using arrow graphs to fill it out.
And that's fine, except when you try to scale things up to automate the process and save people money.
Now you have to do some pretty wasteful engineering to accommodate this pesky creativity we have.

That is the really interesting and a testament to being a really good software (in features and reach).
It breaks the boundaries of the limited vocabulary of computers and therefore can only be fully leveraged by humans.

It's both a great reminder that most people in the world are not on the same level as the crowd around here [1] and that as the group who create tools used by such an audience, we have to be mindful of that.

On a positive note, I think there are some interesting work being done to rethink how to approach those tasks, I remember using one product in particular that had the right mix of being visually engaging while enforcing boundaries. But this won't solve the issue of users having to hack their way into getting what they want how they want it.

Pretending abstract principles have black-or-white truth value is the root cause of the problem. Each party trying to persuade the other in an argument is just papering over that fundamental issue. How can two people on opposite sides of a contentious debate ever agree if their logical axioms/priorities are not the same? Debating principles is a touch of luxurious navel-gazing that is available only when suitably screened from real world consequences and related emotions.

A far more constructive approach, IMHO, is to debate actions, and try to find middle ground. The reasons for which either of the disputing parties might consider the resulting action satisfactory might be completely different, but what matters is that it allows the deadlock to be resolved and for people to move on. In most cases, that is what the parties seek, and are happy to work towards and concede minor ideological points in the matter.

However, with increasing emphasis on abstract statements, people easily lose touch with reality and are prone to pointless bikeshedding, but with increasing polarization and anger, while the actual situation becomes worse.

It seems more natural that we derive principles from behavior as a bunch of abstractions convenient to communicate, rather than deriving behavior from principles.
Wonder what the ROI is like if it costs $500.
First, I don’t think I’m playing semantic tricks. The finality of imprisonment and execution are the same. You don’t get time back if you’re released from prison. The difference is that you’re still alive, but of course that’s already the difference between imprisonment and execution. The fact that the death penalty involves killing someone is just definitional, it’s not a justification for why the death penalty is bad.

Secondly, of course I don’t dispute that there’s generally a preference for life imprisonment over execution.
Starting with a manned aircraft is a terrible way to build an unmanned one. A good fraction of the weight is there to provide life support and safety for the pilot. The canopy is a huge compromise between aerodynamics and visibility. And for manned aircraft, it's worth spending 10x more to get a slightly lower failure rate, because pilots are so valuable. For unmanned aircraft, the reliability calculations are all different.
Interesting, though this slice/dice of the data [1] figuring in all known expense quantities show that they only make a net of $2.32 per day in Louisville. Even if we take 10 months that's still just under $700. Those economics do look a lot better, but don't more durable/beefier scooters cost more? I'm not seeing a way to get 7.5X back no matter how the numbers are finagled.

Curious how they know the scooters will last 10 months when new versions can't have been out in the wild in quantity for more than a single quarter.

To be clear, I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just hoping to learn more about whether it has yet.

It’s a mental shift similar to using iam assume role sessions rather than static keys with perms right on em.

Powerful creds should be limited in lifespan and machine issued to users in a transaction that involves mfa.

We built our own but Gravitational Teleport I think has these patterns in a product.

The other issue even if you get certs right is service tokens (an admin could have grabbed a copy of one and they can be used from outside cluster) so want to keep that api wrapped IMHO.
Many, not all but many, of the addicts I've seen seem to genuinely no longer have agency anymore. Their addiction has totally taken over their life. The person you describe will likely be dead in a few years. The state stepping in and taking control, at least for a short time, could potentially save them. Instead, I think we've over indexed on assuming that if we put enough opportunities in front of people like that they'll volunteer themselves into getting clean. I don't think that's true.
Sure, I'll follow that link to who-knows-what to prove a point only you're aware of.

OR, I could call whataboutism for what it is and not be an intellectually dishonest weasel about it like you are.

Scoot operated, poorly, in a very small market. Look at Bird or Lime, they operate literally in hundreds of cities.

In the hypothetical case that they were buying Lime instead, the number would be at least 50 times bigger.

Good to see FB putting in a lot of effort to make RN better. Especially when Google is putting in huge amount of effort in making Flutter production ready.

Right now RN has multiple advantages over Flutter like a familiar language (JS vs Dart) and a lot of people know React already. It will be interesting to see how future adoption shapes up for these 2 frameworks.
I have an ad blocker, I turned it off to see the predicted mess underneath.

To be honest it's a combination of "I should not have to care about this" with "I skimmed the documentation and Google's unclear warnings and they didn't clear my questions" and "I'm confused by Google's multiple overlapping products and their similar names". And no, I don't think I've ever synced a folder with Photos, the way I use Dropbox.

So here's a little history of my usage:

Once upon a time, I used Picasa. Can't remember if it was a separate product that Google bought or if it was always Google's. I stored pictures from my vacations there.

Then Picasa ceased to exist. I believe Google automigrated all the pictures to... Google Photo? Or whatever it was called.

Fast forward till recently, and I got an email warning that Google Photo was about to be end-of-life'd. Soonish. I wasn't sure if I had to do something about it. I followed some unclear tutorial by Google, and I think that created the "Google Photos" folder. I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if what I did was enough to backup my photos. I hope so!

Then I got my phone stolen! I thought I had lost all the pictures on my phone, some of them with sentimental value (I know, I know... backups!) Then I was surprised to find Google had automatically backed them up to... Google Photo? Google Drive? I'm not sure. I do know they are not easy to navigate now. I don't remember asking my Android phone to sync my pictures, either. Maybe I did. Who knows?

Nothing about this seems intuitive or trivial to me. I know if I put more effort into this I could understand it, but I honestly don't think I should have to. And I don't think regular non-tech users will find it understandable even if they read the documentation and tutorials.

Google themselves seem to understand it's not exactly clear, which is why they say "some users are confused by [...]".

You're not missing anything. A lot of people just want the problem gone and somehow think that being tougher on the already downtrodden is a viable solution. You can fine and jail the homeless and it's not going to make them any less homeless.

The only solution is exactly the kind of thing this article is talking about. Providing consoling / rehab services and helping people turn their lives around one by one. There is no blanket solution.
But the only way I've found to attach a google photo to a gmail email is via the drive folder? Now what?

> append() doesn't operate on arrays, it operates on slices

If you go with most languages definition of "slice", that would be pretty horrible just by itself.

But, as you said, Go's definition is different (what is also bad, just not much):

> Slices are backed by arrays, and if you append to a slice whose backing array is full, it will "grow" by allocating a bigger array elsewhere and copying the original data into it

What would be pretty much like Java's ArrayList, or Python's list if it was designed on a sane way. So, just the name would be non-standard... But the container actually migrates when it is reallocated! That's a broken design in any language.
No, but it would be accurate to say that he was exerting selective pressure on people to have bikes.

The F-35 really isn't cutting edge. It is in many regards a nerf-ed export-ready version of the F-22 tech, which everyone wants but no one gets, and designed to be a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none type platform.

There is definitely a "targeting the down market" aspect to the productization.
> We all know what should have been done by this point, which is... not the JSF.

What, specifically?
OpenStreetMap imported a bunch of US data while Census was in the middle of a project to improve the quality of their data. The stuff that had been improved is pretty good. The stuff that hadn't been improved isn't tracking the current version of the government data, it's from 2007 or whatever.

Streaming "cable" providers (Sling, Youtube TV, Playstation Vue, etc.)can get you up and running in minutes and usually come with a 7 day free trial. It doesn't solve every issue with trying to get legal, but it at least solves the "sit around all day for the installer to show up" problem.
> I've seen proposals where the proposer does seem to sincerely believe it to be possible to somehow fit more than 32 bits in a 32-bit field.

Ah, well, that's obviously not a computer programmer with more than 2 or 3 years of experience. :)

> Then you gain nothing other than extra complexity, since the total number of hosts is still limited by the 32-bit IPv4 address.

Have we gained nothing?

Consider that the majority of the IP addresses in the network are individual subscriber IP addresses, not servers. So we can have a transitional situation in which major service providers use the old 32 bit address space (so they are reachable by every client, 32 or 64 bit), while we put new subscribers into the 64 bit address space.

The users who remain in the 32 bit space will increasingly find that they can't connect to some servers that are in the beyond-32 parts of 64 space, so they will have to upgrade their systems.

Users in 32 space cannot do peer-to-peer with 64 users outside of that space, of course.
Please don't ask for advice about how not to get caught breaking the law in a public forum.
Is there any details of what the "rewards" are? I read the product page and am not sure what the upside is for hotspot owners. Isn't the ISP's job to build out their own network?
What do you propose? Cracking down on homeless people. Heavy fines and jail time? Is that somehow going to make them less homeless?

The only viable answer is programs like what this article is talking about. Providing consoling/rehab services and helping people turn their lives around one at a time. There is no blanket solution. These are individuals that are suffering and trapped in a cycle.

If you think violently oppressing the already downtrodden is a good solution please leave and go to another city. This is probably not the place for you.
You can work around failures of large initial unison syncs by creating a partial directory tree on the target manually.

It treats the creation of a new directory as an atomic operation, and rolls it back on failure.

(So, if the initial sync will take a week, then precreate the top level or two of the directory hierarchy...)

It’s an annoying problem, but after the initial sync, partial syncs are fast and reliable.
But if single purpose aircraft are more capable at that purpose, the F-35 still loses when it goes into battle. The fact that it doesn't suck at anything in particular only counts on a spreadsheet. No F-35 is going to be used for different purposes by the same pilot or military service. The best tool for the job — that's something the F-35 is not now and never can be.

When on a bombing run radar stealth and bomb load matters, but acrobatic agility and VTOL / STOL doesn't. On a carrier, durability matters every time you slap the deck and VTOL /STOL might be very handy, but stealth or high altitude capability, not as much.

Designing a fighter/bomber to please every service is like training every soldier, sailor, airman, and marine to have the same fighting skills. It's going to get them all killed.
Panel can use a Bokeh server but does not require it; it is equally happy communicating over Bokeh Server's or Jupyter's communication channels. Panel doesn't currently support using ipywidgets, nor does Voila currently support Bokeh plots or widgets, but the maintainers of both Panel and Voila have recently worked out mechanisms for using Panel or Bokeh objects in ipywidgets or using ipywidgets in Panels, which should be ready soon. I'm not sure of the details of how one would use Voila with other languages, but Panel can already show anything that has an interface to Python, e.g. an R ggplot visualization.

'Lack of data centres' in Africa is more likely a symptom, not a cause of anything.

Having access to high quality, well run data centres is actually a positive thing for Africa, since that is just a little higher up on the value chain than maybe some places can handle.

Once other things are in place, Africa can make all the data centres they need, but I'd argue that this is just an optimization. I don't see a hugely material issue with not having data locally.
