The problem is that Apple did not follow the natural death curve of OpenGL (which is generally in favour of Vulkan, and libraries built on it), they just completely stopped working on supporting new OpenGL extensions and versions since 2010 (!), and didn't have metal macOS until 2017.

Even from the perspective of bringing people smoothly to their proprietary API, they have failed miserably.

If you're just starting out you use off the shelf parts, if you scale up enough it starts being worth it to use custom parts.

I view it as a short term oddity of an immature market, that the best current option is 2nd hand batteries from crashed Teslas.
Or the fuel used by ECU engines gets created from the CO2 in the air and carbon neutral energy. Seems easier to achieve than replacing all cars with low range models that need a charging spot at home. And the EV also only make a difference, if they use carbon free energy. It's more efficient to power your car with oil directly than to burn the oil for electricity and then power your car with that.

Imho EV's are a much overstated solution to a much deeper problem. EV's make little difference, if we are still running coal, gas and oil power plants to generate the electricity. It's just that our cars are a more visible problem in every day life.

If we had an abundance of carbon neutral energy and make fossil oil more expensive (e.g. through taxes) than renewable burnables, ICU engines would be our smallest problem.

I think the point is that Google doesn't want users to be able to parse this much information. Keep the people dumb, if you want to call it that way. Or uninformed, uneducated, whatever.

"Enter whatever you want to know or see in this field and we will do some magic so you get what you want".

That's where they want to go, no doubt about it as Google probably profits the most from technically-uneducated users of its services.

As of VS2017, MSVC still missed a bunch of C99 features (or they're buggy as hell):

> Variable Length Arrays are not supported (although these are now officially optional)

> restrict qualifier is not supported, __restrict is supported instead, but it is not exactly the same

> Top-level qualifiers in array declarations in function parameters are not supported (e.g. void foo(int a[const])) as well as keyword static in the same context

They only started seriously working on actual C99 support (aside from the bits of C99 which were part of C++) for VS2013 or so.

Though to be fair it seems both Clang and GCC are still missing bits and bobs:

> The support for standard C in clang is feature-complete except for the C99 floating-point pragmas.

for GCC I found https://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html, it's unclear how up-to-date it is, and if GCC is still missing any required feature.

In the early 2000s there was an Italian company in Emilia Romagna doing these combustion → electric makeovers on an industrial scale. Their average customers where municipalities and large businesses (airports, for example) converting their existing fleet of ICE cars into electric vehicles.

They lost most of their businesses around 2012 when Italy passed a bill making all these converted cars not roadworthy without an explicit permit from the original manufacturer, permits that very rarely where granted. (That law got partially overturned in 2017, but the FUD and the chilling effect remain today.)

“the FDA set a worrisome new precedent by allowing Janssen to use a “withdrawal” study as its second “positive” study. These studies tend to be slanted in favour of the test drug because they only consist of patients who responded well to the drug in the short-term trials. For this reason, they have never previously been deemed adequate in satisfying FDA requirements.”

I've been teaching programming for five or six years now. I always start with HTML, then add CSS, and then add JavaScript. That way they experience mastery all the way, and see how they can be creative with the code. It's so great to see a pupil "get it" -- and sometimes even pupils that "suck at math" or even pupils who have problems spelling the most basic sentence correctly. In fact I've found that there's a strange correlation where pupils who have dyslexia often seem to be better than others at programming.

No. Science is a mean to an end, not an end in itself. And intuition, an open mind, imagination help a lot, without drifting into superstition.

Telling people to look for https:// as a way to indicate that they're secure isn't good enough. There's nothing stopping a malicious party applying an SSL certificate to www.paypal.random-name.com. Browsers need to inform users based on actual information that they have (eg the SSL cert, reports of malicious domains, etc) and display that to the user.

Essentially Google know more about the state of a website than a user can learn from the domain alone, and they should display that to the user. Once that's happening the various parts of the domain are less important. The downside of this is that it increases Chrome users reliance on Google.

So you have nuclear plant that produces no CO2 and could produce radiation in a rare event , and you have a coal plant that produces CO2, other pollution in the smoke and radiation 100% of the time, similar with gas and other fossil fuels.

Honestly if you have 2 choices , live near the coal plant and it's smoke and radiation or live near a nuclear plant that will fail only of a super rare earthquake what do you chose ? Do you chose 100% harm vs 0.1(number I invented) harm ?

Then shouldn't you look at whether the act violence involves two people of criminal background instead of looking at their gender?

Just because someone is subjected to violence from someone who shares some group characteristics doesn't mean it's not worth investigating or that he or she is somehow responsible for this violence.

A similar logic could be applied to black men on black men violence, to cite other answer that you got.

To push it further I what stops us from using the same reasoning to say that it's not worth investigating domestic violence in the case of same-race couple? In the end it's just whites hurting whites.

Only certain communities. Such as... the general open source community. And maybe even software developers in general. I can definitely see this being misunderstood by end users or others because licensing and the related terminology is just plain confusing, but as long as I can remember it was very clear that there's a difference between shared source, 'available' source, and open source.

The same exact arguments can be made about free software, only worse because colloquially users have traditionally confused it with the term freeware.
> a free house, free healthcare, and all the things you're not mentioning - free education, free sustenance, free childcare, free longterm paid pa/maternal leave, guaranteed high paying jobs, etc

The great majority of Americans nevertheless do have houses, healthcare, education, sustenance, childcare and jobs. This suggests that the economy can provide these things and that also providing them to the small proportion currently without them is probably feasible.

Making them 'free' and involving taxes just rearranges the payments involved. It doesn't require producing much more than America already does.

The challenge is to do this without damaging incentives and the economy or creating moral hazard (free riders). That's the difficulty.

The article has a pretty balanced view and several of the people asked say that esketamine could have some benefit for some patients.

But other than that your statement doesn't make a lot of sense. Of course there can be everything wrong with a novel drug that "could" help with edge-cases. Because if you don't know if it helps and if it may harm people - it could very well do more harm than good. That's why we want robust science for new drugs: To decide whether they'll help more than harm.

I feel like this discussion is missing an appreciation for size/scope of repositories vs. size/scope of the organisation developing that software, with a pinch of appreciation for Conway's law.

If your team is a typical team of at most, say, 30 people, then maintaining 15 different repositories is clearly insane, but merging them into a single one likely doesn't truly deserve the moniker "monorepo", because it's just not that large (and varied in scope and purpose) of a project at the end of the day.

Think of it this way: the Linux kernel is certainly a larger project, but nobody thinks of it as a monorepo. Same thing goes for major software projects like Qt.

> It's precisely what the GDP/capita captures. It's about $62,000. And we're already chopping 27% of that in taxes to fund our current [generally underfunded] programs, so you can drop it down to $45k.

I think you've misunderstood the nature of government spending. It's not like the government destroys that 27% when it spends it: the money is just redirected from where it might have gone (i.e. consumer spending) to other places (like the maintenance of roads and hospitals). You've forgotten about the circular flow of income.

Besides, GDP per capita as a measure of the productive capacity of a country actually misses quite a lot. Suppose I run a drug company, and I charge $10k / year for a drug that's cheap to manufacture (so there are no worries about the price of intermediate goods or the value that I add). That's 10k per annum that I'm adding to GDP.

But if a competitor offers a generic version of the same drug at ten dollars a year, putting me out of business, that $10k / year diaappears from the GDP figure.

The economics of this are pretty attractive. A VW Golf Diesel would do about 70-80K km for the amount of fuel that about 5000 euros buys. This is assuming 4.8 litres for 100km and a (current) price of 1.38 euro per litre in Germany. I pulled both numbers using Google. In the US Diesel would be cheaper (79 cents according to Google). I'm guessing this excludes taxes that may apply in some states though. But assuming that's correct, in the US, the same amount buys you about 150K km of range.

So, a conversion like this starts earning itself back well within the lifespan of the batteries either way based just on fuel cost savings. Of course if you drive an older Diesel, it would be unlikely to actually last another 150K or have anywhere near the fuel economy of a newer model. Additionally, older cars tend to need expensive maintenance on their engines to keep on going before they finally become to expensive to repair.

Of course the problem is going to be finding batteries. I'd expect this kind of stuff to quickly go from a novelty to being a very common thing. This may drive up prices and limit availability. However, with second hand batteries the value proposition might be quite good still.
