So, if North Korea wants to develop an ICBM, the main challenges are 4: take off (which they appear to have mastered), miniaturization of the bomb, navigation and reentry vehicle. All the remaining 3 are quite difficult, and navigation in particular was traditionally done by a mix of inertial (i.e. based on gyroscopes) and celestial (i.e. based on the observation of stars). GPS makes all this unnecessary.

If NK uses the US GPS, there are most likely countermeasures in place, for example if the US detects an NK ICBM launch, then it stops or perturbs the GPS signal.

New providers of GPS complicate this problem.
Towing should be a strong point of electric vehicles, with all that torque, shouldn't it?
Sign languages are not new but just not as well documented and researched as spoken languages because pre film/video where was no easy way to record language use. Most sign languages have no writing system.
Additionally for the past 150 years the deaf community have been oppressed.
Some researchers think some sign languages date back further than the first spoken languages.
I was curious, so I went to YouTube and watched a bit of this clip: https://youtu.be/xS6q27VOTOk?t=38

Interesting machine, but it's really a bicycle with a single-speed electric motor. With lots of issues, that currently would be easy to fix with off-the-shelf parts from electric bicycles.

But maybe more important notion is, that it's not fully covered. It's not all-weather vehicle, not even half-weather it seems.

As a native HKer this sounds very weird. I'm not sure how the previous point leads to this.
Anyways, I know this is how it's portrayed in mainland China,

Which is where the problem is, even from an American living inside China believes HK is talking all the advantages without any downside. And just like you said this is how it is portrayed in China, and how majority thinks like this.

That was the the view [1] as shown in previous HN article.

So this is based on GPS, right? How does this system deal with tectonic plate shift? A house may move by a couple meters over years, which will exceed the accuracy of the 12 digit code. At the very least the code should include a timestamp (year is probably precise enough).
It would result in perverse incentives.

As a small-timer I don't think I'll ever cloud up. Managing a few servers isn't too bad, is easy to maintain (from both a developer and "dev-ops" standpoint).The cloud abstractions would have been great before Ubuntu's LTS 8-10 year schedule, Nginx and Systemd. But now it's just so simple using those and my existing architecture to launch new web services.
You can get over this with more experience, but better start with shallower depths and only gradually move deeper, so you know and feel that you are not 'stuck' somewhere deep for the rest of the dive. Actually that's how certification dives should go - start in few meters, train things like losing & cleaning of the mask, sharing oxygen etc. No reason to go deeper than 4-5 meters for this.

It is vastly different environment, our bodies and senses are simply not developed for it, but we as species are very adaptable and the experience is literally out-of-this-world (especially on healthy corals, which is sadly becoming harder and harder to find).

> The problem is that even talking about electric cars gets people's knickers in a twist; they need to be able to drive for 1000 miles straight while towing an apartment on wheels behind them and any vehicle which can't do that just isn't good enough.

I mean that's understandable, if the car you buy can only handle small commuting that means at the very least the additional cost of using other transport methods or renting a car or having a second car (all of which may be problematic or impossible) when you need to see friends, your family, or go on holidays. And that's not "par" money as the EV is not going to be significantly cheaper than an equivalent ICE.

A small and cheap comfy-ish EV might actually be a good option there, as it lets you have a regular car when you need to e.g. go to Ikea (which might be out of range of an EV depending where you live) or drive to the next country or go see your sister a few hundred miles away without significant additional costs, but it needs to be small (so it's not an issue e.g. for people living in cities who may not have access to a garage at all let alone a multi-car one) and cheap (so it's not a drain on resources, or at least not a big one, compared to just using the one car all the time).

Incentives are a thing, and currently EVs mostly incentivise using something else if you don't have fuck you money and more surface than you can use. As-is, plug-in hybrids are probably a better option for single people or single-car households.

Isn't a lot of the frustration regarding Fortran aimed towards libraries written by PhDs who don't know a thing about writing maintainable code (because that's not their specialty - not their fault really) and on top of that are so intelligent and specialized in their own field that you end up with even more impenetrable code, while also being dependent on said library because nobody else understands the problem domain in question to the same degree as those PhDs did (emphasis did, to make things worse[0]) when they wrote the library?

That sounds like a frustration layer cake to me, but it's not exactly the language's fault.

France seems almost as bad as us (the UK) at thinking they're still relevant in their post-empire age.
Is this just conjecture? It seems ridiculous that the US would rely on the fact they can control GPS satellites as form of missile defence... So shooting down their GPS satellites would also hamper there ability to launch ICBMs? Seems equally unbelievable.
Do it. I'm using it atm after years of Python and I like it.

Correct, if only L1 is used. However as GPS exists today receivers can track phase variations between L1 and L2 without the codes necessary to decode the signal on L2.

I drive a motorcycle daily and this seems like the drawbacks (low crash protection, lower stability, low load capacity) without the benefits (agility, effortless parking).

If this looks viable to you - consider getting a scooter or a small bike, they are great secondary vehicles when you need to get from a to b alone or with one more person and a lot of fun to drive/very versatile for parking.

There are some electrics but even if you get a ICE it will spend less fuel then a car (untill you get to 600cc sportbikes and derivatives :) )
Coincidentally, I made something like this for myself. Although perhaps not really a wiki, it's a static-site generator that uses e-mail messages as input.

It's based on a ~400 line Python script that extracts mails from specified folders in my mailbox and a ~100 line Bash script that turns it into a website. It's not user-friendly really... but I like the fact that the system is rather simple (bias mine).

The Python script takes a mailbox folder, concatenates the bodies of all the messages and stores the result in a single file derived from the mailbox-folder's name. The attachments for a message are stored in a dedicated folder for each message, where the names of those folder are derived from the subjects of the messages, and the attachments' filenames are simplified.

The Bash script then assumes that the resulting collection of concatenated files are in markdown format and runs Pandoc on them to generate the HTML files. Then, the entire result is copied to document-root.

As it is, it is mainly useful for (micro)blogging... it's a bit tedious to edit markdown on a smart-phone, especially linking to files. On the other hand, it's basically Twitter in 500 LOC. There's got to be some value in that.

I haven't used the 6800 family, but I'd expect most people would have preferred them - the motivation for the 6502 was to drastically cut cost, and while a lot was achieved by an amazing design, it was also a number of feature trade-offs. The main designers of the 6502 (Mensch and Peddle) were both on the team that worked on the 6800, and Peddle pitched the 65xx proposal to Motorola first, before taking it to MOS when Motorola was more concerned about protecting their margins. Before the 6501 and 6502 hit the market, a 6800 cost $175. 6501 and 6502 were introduced for $20 and $25 respectively. A year later the 6800 cost $35.

Julia isn't really well suited for production environments. And by that, I mean on some server or something. In finance it's gaining marketshare as an exploratory analysis tool for traders and quants though. The code is typically productionized in C++ or whatever in the same way Python or Matlab code is.

Two points:

1) The "discontinuity" is a red herring. You get one of those every time you fall asleep.

2) It doesn't really make sense to speak of your brain as software running on hardware. That's a metaphor informed by the behavior of digital computers, whose state is comparatively easy to approximate due to their binary nature (and yet still very difficult, as anyone knows who's tried writing a 100% compatible emulator for a different computer). But in your brain, the software and the hardware are the same thing. It's just a hyper-complex object that interacts with its environment.There's no guarantee there's any way to abstract that above the molecular level without losing information, and even if you think you have, there's no way to verify that the behavior of a new system will match the behavior of the old system in every case.

Take a system you don't normally regard as information-processing, and see if it works the same way. Can we migrate the software process that runs a ball of plasma to compatible hardware? Or a rock?
From my recollection working with Scala many years ago... Scala is in some ways like C++, it gives a grab bag of cleverness. You can shoot yourself in the foot going wild with template metaprogramming and excessive abstraction and cleverness in C++, or go wild with FP abstraction in Scala.

Or you can define a sane coding standard and subset that your team agrees is readable, and stick with it, and enforce it through code review.

I think the meat of their argument was that they have weaseled it in such a way that you're not getting what you expect unless you read all the fine print. Then it turns out you get basically nothing. From that point it's not a stretch to say the situation has not improved when compared to consumers: They also get nothing.

You are responding to a case that has not been made. Furthermore, you are responding to that fictitious case without solid reasoning or good sourcing. It would be nice if you could provide that.
Nice. I did the same exact thing last week with one of my own blogs.

But I was disappointed a little with some quirks with Jekyll. For example, I really needed to list blog posts in categories separately. Turns out there's no built-in way to do that with Jekyll, so I had to find a third-party plug-in to do that. Then there were some changes didn't trigger a rebuild with the local development server running, which I (eventually) realized required stopping the server, deleting the _build directory, and then restarting the server.

These things sound minor in hindsight, but they took a lot of time for me to figure out in the moment. "It's a static site...I picked a static site generator for simplicity!" I kept thinking, annoyed.

I chose Jekyll in particular because it's been around forever and expected it to have little things like this figured out, but was slightly disappointed.

Otherwise it's been good I guess.

For what it's worth, I will occasionally repost articles on my Medium account too, to take advantage of my following there, with the appropriate rel=canonical tag. No reason not to take advantage of it while it lasts.
I agree with what you are saying. The tradeoffs are complex between an electric car and something else. In many cases the only reasonable solution is to have both and use the appropriate vehicle for the appropriate trip. The downsides of that are many unless you already need two vehicles.

However, you seem to have illustrated exactly my point. An electric car has some limitations compared to a conventional car. But the gap from an electric car to an electric velomobile is probably even greater.
It stops looking that redundant when one system goes down because both of its ground based refence clocks go down at the same time. This recently happened to Galileo. Nobody noticed because NavStar and GNSS covered for it.
