Your explanations remind me a lot of Josh Waitzkin, check out his book The Art of Learning or any one of his interviews. I think you will agree with a lot of what he has to say on learning as he approaches it very similarly.
In fact they are fairly popular with the set of campers who travel to more remote places (I.E. national forest campgrounds instead of large RV parks). For instance, https://sportsmobile.com/sportsmobile-4x4/ offers 4x4 conversion vans for these uses, as well as more traditional 4x2 conversion vans for on-road use.
China is currently building two such reactors. The reason why this technology has not spread is simple: "Energy would be too cheap. Oil industries would collapse, you can imagine how big of an impact that would have on other economy segments and how some of the richest ppl in the world would instantly lose influence on the goverments."

I look at it as a tragedy. Oil Industry is like a cancer to our society right now.
I am no expert, but it seems the non-democratic-but-capitalist system in mainland China, is at least as close to the pre-1997 system in Hong Kong, as it is to the late 20th century Chinese system. Granted, the mainland was already moving that way, but I still think one could argue that the HK system spread to the mainland. As long as you know, that the pre-1997 system in HK was capitalist, not democratic.
>>The new system will provide up to 44.5 km (27.7 miles) of additional range per day while parked and soaking up sun, and can add up to 56.3 km (35 miles) of power to both the driving system and the auxiliary power battery on board, which runs the AC, navigation and more.

As someone with nearly 100 miles of round trip commute (and who parks in a usually very sunny parking lot) I would certainly appreciate 27+ miles of "free" range. Certainly enough to be useful for me. In the case of a Tesla I'm sure it's more than enough to negate the continuous usage of sentry mode as well.
I work a side job doing medical work at events. Often these events go late into the night or even the whole night. I often have to struggle with do I drive home while sleepy and use a caffeine pill to help stay alert/awake, or do I try and sleep in my small car. I am 6'5" and drive a small kia rio so sleeping in my car sucks.

I would definitely consider using something like this! AirBnB and hotels cost much too much when I just want a few hours of sleep before driving home. Not to mention sometimes I finish early in the morning and getting something to sleep in during the day only is usually not possible.

On top of that sometimes I work a shift, then have a few hour gap before another shift. I am in a city an hour or two away from home so going home is not an option. Being able to have a private space I could just rest in or watch a movie would be incredibly nice.

We need private pod systems around cities. Unfortunately I could see them being abused.
I recently tried to do some stuff in R with tidyverse, and was not a fan. I'm no expert, but the tidyverse's frequent use of nonstandard evaluation drove me crazy. It makes it so much more difficult to write functions encapsulating tidy functions. However, I never see people complain about this, so maybe I'm doing something wrong or not grokking something...

One of the reason these are more valuable than one for Window or Office is 90% of the time once you are in windows you can just use a Remote Support tool to remote into the system

Attempting remote support that requires BIOS or Router changes is much easier if you can tell the person, exactly, what the click word for word, or even provide screenshots with instructions in say a manual... Getting them can be harder tools like this help alot

I have used things like this when development instructional material for new Technicians or as reference for people that many not work with those systems every day...

This would have been complicating in Boeing's attempt to get the plane certified without simulator training, as it would have raised inconvenient questions as to why a previously non-safety-critical sensor suddenly needed a checklist, which would have kicked off a chain of very difficult and expensive to remediate questions upon a more in-depth, impartial design review.
Imagine something like Porto-Potties?

Porto-Office?

It wouldn't have to be much larger, though it would probably need some kind of small A/C system, like you'd find on top of an RV. Put a bunch of batteries and/or a small genset under the seat area, a dropdown table on the door, a plug for power, and maybe optional 4/5G wifi. Add a credit card reader on the outside to take payment. Put a bunch on trailers and drop them off in places...

There's gotta be a reason why this hasn't been done already - none of the tech needed is that special, most of it is already "off the shelf". There must be some kind of laws or regulations preventing it?
There's this fad diet, known as the pH diet, that's based in the assumption that people's bodies have a certain pH level and most ills are caused by this pH level being out of whack. So, naturally, it follows that acid = bad and alkaline = good (don't ask.)
DAT seems very well thought through, and having never seen beaker before that looks amazing! However, how private is a P2P service like this? One major problem for BitTorrent is how trivial it is to snoop other peoples history (esp if you’re the RIAA or MPAA, or even iknowwhatyoudownload). Is overcoming this a design goal for dat? Is it even possible to overcome it?
I don't stress that much personnaly. I'm in Quebec and I use Communauto. They don't care about scratch or dent in the car. They also answer the phone quite quickly, it certainly wouldn't take 30 minutes.

Their insurance is quite generous too, at first the deductible were 300$, they did increase it to 600$ but for 50$ a year you can remove it altogether. If you don't lower it, they charge 1$ more per trip, so in my case, I pay 50$ a year and there's no risk of fees.

On my way back I always check and make sure I have a good buffer and increase the reservation if needed.

They do have cars with child seats too.
Challenges with Federated Identity in Modern Browsers
Yep, just look at the CTA's Ventra system, which came online in 2013. 20 character password limit, but implemented in the worst possible way: only on the web UI, and they don't tell you about it.

Basically, I generated a 32 character password in my password manager, pasted it in, got no errors when I made my account, and could login in Chrome successfully. However, I couldn't login on the mobile app. I tried manually typing, copy/pasting, nothing worked (it doesn't even seem like they auto-lock accounts after 15 failed login attempts...). So I went to change my password on my desktop and noticed it stopped accepting anything after 20 characters. The field silently truncated my password. So I typed the first 20 into the mobile app, and was able to login.

The worst part about this system is that since the mobile app doesn't respect the limit (not sure if there is a limit in the app, I was able to do 64 characters successfully), you can make your account inaccessible from web browsers with a >20 character password (meaning it's not a DB restriction, it's just an arbitrary client-side restriction, and it's even not implemented consistently). I reported this bug last week and got a generic email response, so it probably still works for now.

Different companies and teams have different cultures, so while I agree that the standard 8 hour workday isn't ideal for coding, and personally seek out teams that allow more flexibility... I also understand why some places do it.

That being said, if you are working yourself to exhaustion and burnout within those 8 hours, to the point of chronic pain... that is something wrong the way you are managing you work, your time, and your stressors. Many comments already in this thread are terrific in the details of this, and how you can adjust. But this also sounds like a medical issue. I'd get yourself to a doctor, and get some bloodwork done. You may have something as simple as vitamin deficiencies (probably due to how hard you are pushing yourself), so identifying them, adjusting your diet, and taking some supplements could help you. Go take care of yourself, and work will fall into place.
I had a 2015(?) MBP with GPU issues, as (eventually) documented by Apple. On their support page they describe the error you might see in the console logs. There it was.

It passed Diagnostics with flying colors. So I showed the tech that I was able to reproducibly hard crash the laptop by playing a video on the Apple site in Safari, and after the force restart the same error would appear.

They still were "reluctant" to fix it under that program (though they eventually did).

When someone posts obvious misinformation he's downvoted to oblivion fairly quickly, and when someone makes an honest mistake he's corrected by people who know better and hopefully update his views adequately.

> The new system will provide up to 44.5 km (27.7 miles) of additional range per day while parked and soaking up sun

That seems like a big deal. Most drivers actually drive in the 30-50 mile range per day (IIRC Chevy said that over 80% of commuters would be able to only be on electric with their 53-electric-mile-range Volt). So for most drivers this amount of power could reduce their external electricity needs by somewhere between 50-100%.

I'm not sure this counts as meaningful communication? It's similar to how everyone can send a letter to their representative, but staffers mostly just classify them as pro or con on whatever issue you're writing about.

Regardless of medium, many-to-one communication using freeform text doesn't scale. If you structure it, it's basically a poll.

Not likely. Cancer only gets serious after most of reproduction and child rearing and nurturing has been done. Whereas cold is pretty serious for infants for example.
>Why is it seen as an obvious truth that we should allow every single person onto the Internet, without ever being able to remove them?

What does it mean to deny someone?

If an OS provider, browser provider, internet provider, and website all agree to give someone the tools necessary to access a given website, why should you get involved?

At the same time, if you want to run your own site who limits who can join, you should be free to do so. Many communities I'm a part of do this already (normally by limiting behavior, for example a forum for a given game only allows discussions related to that game, someone who keeps bringing up unrelated topics will find themselves under a series of increasing lengthy bans).

If you want to build your own protocol and only let those you deem the cool kids use it, then you are free to do so.

>Why is it seen as an obvious truth that we should allow every single person onto the Internet, without ever being able to remove them?

Put simply, we never had the choice because we didn't build the internet. The ones who did have the choice choose to open it up as wide a technically feasible. We don't get a say in this case, but we are free to make our own case where we can have a say.
If you know for a fact that a proposal which you don't necessarily agree with, but which would make you look good, is going to be vocally rejected so as to provide you with an apparent reason not to implement it then you should definitely propose it.

Politics 101.

I'd still like to know about any democratic push by the British colonial authorities in any other colonies at the time... Because even if the HK colonial administration genuinely wanted it I think that the British government did not want to hear about it quite independently of any Chinese 'threat'.
I can give you some sense of why one can compile SBCL and not R. SBCL and other Lisps these days maintain some kind of conceptual barrier between macroexpansion time and run time, so that you can _stage_ your activity appropriately. Read the code, gather the macro definitions, expand the code (repeat as necessary) until you have some base language without metaprogramming in it.

Then you can optimize and compile. This is particularly true of Scheme which foregoes much of the dynamic quality of Common Lisp in favor of a much more static view of the world. But its still basically true in CL.

R doesn't have macros of that kind. It has a sort of weird laziness based on arguments remaining unevaluated until needed. Metaprogramming in R is typically done by intercepting those "quoted" arguments and then evaluating them in modified contexts (this is exposed to the user more or less by letting them insert scopes into the "stack").

Thus, there is no distinction between macroexpansion and execution time. Hence, its tough to write a compiler, which is basically just a program which identifies invariants ahead of time and pre-computes them (eg, lexical scope is so good for compilers because you can pre-compute variable access). Because all sorts of shenanigans can be got up to by walking quoted expressions and evaluating them in modified contexts, R is hard to compile.

This is, by the way, why the `with` keyword was removed from Javascript. It provided exactly the ability to insert a scope into the stack used to look up variable bindings.
Desert sand isn't useful as it's too smooth and has properties nearer dust or silt than sharp sand.
Let me be clear, the child porn is illegal here in the US. Thankfully.

But yes, there are people in the US who post the video of their pet terrorists blowing away some old lady in a church or temple or mosque or what have you. It is not strictly speaking, illegal here. Neither are the death videos no matter how objectionable. To make matters worse, most of these low-lifes tend to congregate in the same well known places, which also host, you guessed it, child porn. So a community of real winners all around.

All I was saying was that people like that should be kicked out of communities that aspire to cater to regular people. But they should not be kicked off the internet. As disgusting as their proclivities may be, they do still have Freedom of Speech. I just don't want them speaking in the places I frequent, and thankfully, the proprietors of those places agree with me in that regard.

That's why Freedom of Association in a place like the US is extremely important. People and organizations have to be free not to be associated with that sort of content. It's as important as Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression actually.
This is a really cool idea, but how should I be using it? Trying to test it out just now I opened up two tabs in Beaker but both rooms just have the one user in them.

Love the design, by the way.
The problem seems to be that desert sand is too smooth to use in concrete. Perhaps a method is needed for fusing desert sand in such a way that it becomes rough. Perhaps large fresnel lenses that use sunlight to fuse the grains into small clumps?
There's material design, shape and reinforcements to consider, but a tube would probably be a decent start. Requiring such a think, along with a alert system (loud sirens/speakers) in the region should probably also be a requirement.
Listing these numbers without context, one might think they are big. We have 1,400,000 sq mi of farmland (according to the 2007 stay I saw), so even if we use this prime space thats already been taken from nature, thats 1%-3% of farm land. We also have many other areas that are currently used by humans that we can cover. We cover something like 100,000 square miles with asphalt in the US, and that doesn't even directly produce revenue.
Your question is un-answerably broad, but you're 17 so it's understandable.

What I would advise against is to read too much into the feedback you're getting, because none of the posters know you or what you're interested in. "Web programming" is incredibly broad. At the barest minimum, it could mean "websites", i.e. HTML/CSS, or database-driven website platforms like Wordpress, so HTML/CSS/PHP and a bit of MySQL. But these days it could also mean Squarespace, Wix, Shopify and other platforms with e-commerce capabilities. If you're at a medium to large company, those roles might split further into front-end and back-end development work.

If you are thinking about startups, I'd advise you to read into the history of successful startups, and get an understanding of the basic business stuff, like what the product was, what the market was, who was part of the original team, things like that. A great reference for this is the 2007 book Founders At Work, which has detailed interviews with people at big dotcom era companies like PayPal: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98233.Founders_at_Work

Maybe that can help clarify your thinking a little bit and help you figure out which slice of the pie you want to be in.

More importantly, at 17, you don't have to decide anything right now and all the time to explore. The first step to building a web startup might be to actually make a website about something you're interested in. It doesn't have to be something that makes money, but it should involve a learning experience of some kind.

For example, let's say you create a Wordpress website, put up a few posts, and realize you hate the way the default theme structures the layout. The next step might be for you to mock up your ideal layout in a free tool like Figma (or just on a piece of paper), and start looking up HTML/CSS tutorials online to move beyond the mockup to working code. Down the line, you might want to start hosting your website on your own server, so you could buy a hosting package, learn how to connect to a server, and upload your website's files to that server using FTP or Git. Either way, you'll learn a little bit about how these different pieces work.

Reading and Thinking is maybe 20% of the learning equation. 80% of your actual learning will be by trial and error when you're actually trying do make it happen.
So like "what's the best stack?"?

It's not really a sensible question IMO. It's like what's the best car - I say 1980s Countach ... then you say, but I can't fit my luggage in, so I say a Landrover Disco', and you say it doesn't fit in my garage, so I say a Porsche Cayenne and you say it's too expensive, ...

The best stack depends entirely on what you want to do with it, and yes web apps and web sites need different things (I'd say the former are computational, the latter are presentational).

Background: I've been doing solo web dev (but never full-time professionally and mostly casually) since last millennium.

Thanks for these! Cabal looks especially fascinating, I'm going to have to try and get some friends to join one and test it out.
I think that would wholely depend on the setup for the AC compressor. If it's entirely electric and sized appropriately it can be a fairly efficient mechanism. A friend of mine uses the AC in their tesla to keep pastries cold from lunch to evening commute for < 10-20 miles of range depending on ambient temperatures. Meanwhile my gas SUV idles at .3 - .5 gallons per hour depending on engine load. (4 cylinder 2.0 liter, non-turbo).
I'm a data scientist and, frankly, I really strongly prefer R over Python. Its mostly the whitespace in Python, but the language is also slow and crufty as heck. R, if you use it responsibly, feels a lot more like your standard, lexically scoped, dynamically typed language.
If it's additive (as in you can get by without it, but it helps), it may well be OK.

HK has a strong rule of law based on the British system. That's a major benefit for them in itself and also for the trust it provides to foreign companies in investors.

A good analogy to the whole "so then why live?" question would be that of going to see a movie and realizing that you don't care all that much for it. It's not quite bad enough to make you get up and leave so you do stay to the end, maybe you even enjoy bits and pieces of it, but if you had known how bad it was overall before going you wouldn't have gone in the first place.

I find having to actually move to be a pretty engaging part of the game. You have to find resources, and that might be dangerous. Vehicles and concrete help you maneuver more quickly, but have their own risks/drawbacks. Defending your base and setting up an outpost starts out as a manual task until you know how to do it automatically.

In simpler terms, having to do things the slow and manual way makes the fast and automatic solutions even more gratifying.
