You're thinking about it wrong.

2 feet is about 600mm or 60 cm or 6 decimeters or 0.6m or 0.06 dekameters. Just pick whatever prefix that gives you the number of significant digits you want.

Metric doesn't "lack units", because there's only a single unit for every measure. Instead there's prefixes for every power of ten around human-scale measurements, and for every power of thousand for much smaller and much larger measurements.
will this be a fairchild / intel moment ?

Did anyone - who has seen shiney new panaceas come and go - believe it was a cure all? What it is, like MVP, is a way to mitigate risk. It doesn't eliminate risk. It can only mitigate it.

Furthermore, it still boils down to team and people. No tool will save a dysfunctional team. The key isn't the tool. The key is the key agreeing on the tool, and sticking to it. That is, tool is not a proxy for deep and solid team work.

I have no idea how you'd convince a large country to convert to SI aside from just forcing it. There are quantifiable upsides (consistency, conversion, not needing two sets of tools, etc) but momentum is hard to overcome.

Interestingly Metric is "the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce" according to the 1975 Metric Conversion Act[0]. But it had no teeth, so everyone just continued using US Customary Units.

You can do that sort of thing in Kotlin, which is an OOP (well, multi-paradigm) language:

inline fun <reified T> String.fromString(): T {
return when {
T::class == String::class -> this
T::class == Int::class -> Integer.valueOf(this)
else -> TODO()
} as T
}

val str: String = "abc".decode()
val int: Int = "123".decode()

You have to be careful with type inference: if there's no way for the compiler to figure out what type you want from the call site, you'll get an error.

You might say this isn't OOP in the strictest possible sense, but extension methods + type inference + reified types gives what you're asking for in a way that's natural for an OOP programmer.

Seems like a pretty immediate solution for housing and rental shortages. I was just talking to a A developer who mentioned that it costs so much to build in LA&OC California that it only makes sense to target the high end/luxury segment with new construction - at least for single-family homes.

IDK what the economics for new-construction of apartments is like, but I have to image its similar.

I would give that title to SUN. Without them, there would be no Java, and thus no Eclipse, and thus no incentive to advance the IDEs to the point they are today.

That productivity and job satisfaction, you have it despite Microsoft. Imagine a world where MS wouldn't have spent their resources on killing Webbrowsers and Java, where you could run a jar file on any operating system with ease. Or imagine a world where exchanging office files between different programs would have been easy.

slander is not a crime
No I'm saying no law is above critical thinking. There should always be a devil's advocate because you should never be so convinced you're not the devil. But especially because I do think the legislative and judicial branches in the United States have effectively abdicated their responsibilities, and now we have executive branches that are given massive amounts of power, sheltered from the consequences of misconduct and given freedom from the responsibility to actually protect. So in practice yes I am suspicious that any law, badly implemented, is nothing but a tool for the powerful to wield more power with more supposed moral authority.

edit: As a specific example, the only other non-dead comments I saw minutes after you posted this dealt with how this is different from existing parodies and the use of body-doubles in film. Is there a process formalizing consent from actors and actresses in such cases? There probably should be in the case of body double. But it would be an unreasonable expectation in the case of parody. But these are all questions that need to get answered before. Asking those questions and observing that they appear to not have been dealt with doesn't mean you think deepfake revenge porn is A-OK.

The deepfakes aspect of this law could be considered akin to slander (an untrue statement that damages someone's reputation). Deepfakes are basically fake/fraudulent videos that can be analogized to "untrue speech". If I were trying to defend this law against a First Amendment challenge, I would use this approach. I would also expect that once deepfakes are sufficiently common, people will defend them on the basis that "it's just for fun — everyone knows they're fake." That would be akin to the defense against false advertising for subjective statements like "Tastiest Pizza In Amador County!".

I would note that the deepfakes law is unlike harassment crimes, which are not illegal because of what you're saying, but rather the person to whom you're saying them.

Even if you are found guilty of harassing someone verbally, you would be free to make the same statements about that person to someone else (assuming they don't also constitute slander, by virtue of being untrue). Basically, there are very few limits on what you can truthfully say about someone; harassment law only applies when you're saying such things to an unwilling listener.

I will say that like copy and paste it has taken forever for iOS to catch up in key areas, but... this is not faint praise: they’re nailing it. Every implementation done to “catch up” to Android has been very well executed and superior in many respects. If there’s a downside to the Apple delayed-until-ready approach, it’s that apps need to be redesigned every two years to keep up with the pace of change. On Android the cycle of redesign is slower, maybe 3-5 years.
Considering I was driving 30k/yr at one point while commuting, I can imagine quite a lot of miles, actually.

Floppy-disk based systems are not the only way to ensure security/reliability, but it's far better than a half-baked system that isn't properly audited. Systems we rely on must be dead simple and reliable.

Good to see some more "common-sense" in contrast to the "Internet everything" trend that's taken hold in some areas of the industry. Some of the control systems in the national grid have been in use for over a century, and are likely to continue working indefinitely if kept maintained.
After many years in large infrastructure transformation projects, Johnny’s Rule of Threes now goes like this:

1. The first time you do something, you can guess how long it will take and what the detailed steps will be, but that is all. You should still plan it, but during execution of this phase you must take copious notes. Do not expect it to be correct.

2. After you have done something for the second time — using what you learned from the first time — you should end up with an accurate schedule. This schedule contains all of the steps required to do the thing along with accurate estimates of time and cost.

3. The third time you do the thing, you are able to do it to schedule and to budget.

The correlation is a matter of fact, but I find your inference about the direction of causality improbable. Do people decide whether to live in the country or the city, and then end up landowners or poor as a result? Or do people who own land in the country stay there, and people who are poor live in the city because it's harder to survive in poverty in the country?
Fragile base classes only affect C++. That's not inherent to OOP. Java solved it completely.

Inheritance gets ragged on a lot these days, but frankly I see it all the time in most mature, production codebases and it's usually used properly and in a tasteful manner. IMO the idea that inheritance is evil is just people who want to make a new programming language looking for a philosophical edge - just like how a bunch of language designers decided exceptions suck because "you can't see the control flow" (eg. in Go) and now years later have basically admitted their error handling sucks, so they need to add something very exception-like back in. Actually exceptions never sucked but Go's designers needed some sort of fresh idea to justify their project.
I’m looking at that first class seat and it’s angle. It’s most likely doesn’t have recline nor enough space for ones things, making it hell for taller frogs.
They made the seats more claustrophobic even though they didn't stick out massively. They were not free so the only thing you could use them for realistically was the map. So yes, you could see where the train was for 2-3 minutes then it would go into 'attract mode' to try and get you to pay.

I think that they were a solution looking for a problem. They could reboot the concept to use Apple Carplay/Android Auto. Train info is useful to have on hand and it should be possible to do upsells.
> Furthermore, the widely repeated claim that modern science necessarily produces disenchantment is equally a mistake. It fails on a philosophical level because it has been impossible to successfully and fully demarcate ‘science’ from other domains. As Larry Laudan, the greatest living philosopher of science, has shown, ‘there are no epistemic features which all and only the disciplines we accept as “scientific” share in common’ and, moreover there is no unitary scientific method.

There is, however, a result they share in common:

> The rise of the natural sciences is credited with a demonstrable, ever-quickening increase in human knowledge and power; shortly before the modern age European mankind knew less than Archimedes in the third century B.C., while the first fifty years of our century have witnessed more important discoveries than all the centuries of recorded history together. Yet the same phenomenon is blamed with equal right for the hardly less demonstrable increase in human despair or the specifically modern nihilism which has spread to ever larger sections of the population, their most significant aspect perhaps being that they no longer spare the scientists themselves, whose well-founded optimism could still, in the nineteenth century, stand up against the equally justifiable pessimism of thinkers and poets. The modern astrophysical world view, which began with Galileo, and its challenge to the adequacy of the senses to reveal reality, have left us a universe of whose qualities we know no more than the way they affect our measuring instruments, and — in the words of Eddington — "the former have as much resemblance to the latter as a telephone number has to a subscriber." Instead of objective qualities, in other words, we find instruments, and instead of nature or the universe — in the words of Heisenberg — man encounters only himself.

-- Hannah Arent

You might say that's being blind and alone, and knowing it. I still don't agree that this necessarily needs to lead to pessimism or nihilism or disenchantment, I am joyful because I want to be, not because I have reasons for it I couldn't dissect and disappear with "rational thought".

But what I observe is that, we seem to have regressed from that, we love to pretend objectivity is even available to us, and think science is somehow the opposite of "mere subjective experience". It's still just subjective experience, on a larger scale by more people, but that doesn't make it fundamentally different. Heisenberg knew this, we no longer, and I wonder why that is.

> How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning?

-- Friedrich Nietzsche, "The Parable of the Madman" (1882)
The context of the quote from [1] is also well worth the read, in my opinion:

"While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so. For-profit corporations, with ownership approval, support a wide variety of charitable causes, and it is not at all uncommon for such corporations to further humanitarian and other altruistic objectives. Many examples come readily to mind. So long as its owners agree, a for-profit corporation may take costly pollution-control and energy-conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires. A for-profit corporation that operates facilities in other countries may exceed the requirements of local law regarding working conditions and benefits. If for-profit corporations may pursue such worthy objectives, there is no apparent reason why they may not further religious objectives as well.

HHS would draw a sharp line between nonprofit corporations (which, HHS concedes, are protected by RFRA) and for-profit corporations (which HHS would leave unprotected), but the actual picture is less clear-cut. Not all corporations that decline to organize as nonprofits do so in order to maximize profit. For example, organizations with religious and charitable aims might organize as for-profit corporations because of the potential advantages of that corporate form, such as the freedom to participate in lobbying for legislation or campaigning for political candidates who promote their religious or charitable goals."

Insisting on the estimate in that situation is basically a special case of the old trope of using something meaningless but easy-to-measure as a proxy for something important but hard-to-measure. It's hard to know how long something will take, and easy to ask someone how long they think it will take (or if it's you, to pull an estimate out of your butt).
OTOH, FCF has turned positive for at least the trailing 12 months, and they are guiding for it to remain positive for the remainder of the year.

There is a good argument to be made that the cap should have been US wide and not per-company, because now it’s incentivizing late-movers who didn’t have to carry the initial higher R&D burden.

There’s even a small chance this might actually be amended by Congress.

But on the flip side, a per company cap diversifies the knowledge and experience and drives increased competition, even if it is late to the game.

The newer thousand brain theory feels close to correct to me. I used the older HTM for a fairly quick time series anomaly detection experiment and it was generally promising. I would be curious how well a thousand brain approach would work.
And to add to this, a few of us at haproxy are part of the UDPA-WG (universal data plane API working group) with Envoy people to help figure how to define a universal/portable data plane API which would work across multiple load balancers. This sounds like a tedious task but your concern definitely proves it's worth the effort.
The bigger point is that 'text chat' is antiquated and unnecessarily limited, and that the advent of "richer" text chat is a gigantic improvement in communications efficiency.

As one of these greybeards who started with 300 baud modems and text chats in the 80's, and moved onto IRC because the internet was better than BBS's, I wholeheartedly endorse the idea that the only people clinging to the UX garbagefire that is IRC are the people who are either unwilling or unable to adapt to the new reality that modern services offer so much more value than IRC will ever be capable of.
