You can have multiple versions of a program installed in linux. Most package managers won't help you very much with that, but it's about as easy as windows if the programs are interpreted or statically linked or compile easily with your system libraries.

NixOS and distri are notable package managers that do make installing different versions of packages pretty easy.
Cars used to last only 6 or so years. Recently (in the 2ks) they have now stretched in average to 12 years or more. One of these is the new computers which I think we're mandated around 2002 which have the computer alter and optimize how the car behaves over time. But also other things. All of this adds up to the car lasting longer on average by basically double what they did in the 90s and before.

No the wording isn't wrong.
Yes, my point is that Jeff doesn't think he needs to stick with the current art style in order to keep his existing customers.

That is a fascinating story. It makes fictional countries based on hidden mines, like Wakanda, seem much more plausible.
If you assume a ridesharing model for AVs, this makes a fair bit of sense. Your typical family car gets maybe 2-3 hours of driving a day, if you live in a long-commute area. An autonomous vehicle will probably get 12-14 hours of driving each day. If you assume it's traveling at an average of 20 mph for 12.5 hours/day, that's 250 miles/day, or 90,000 miles/year, about 5-9x the mileage a typical family car gets. A 4-year lifespan is fairly generous under those conditions.
A lot of this is opinion. And a lot of people just don't agree, that's where the hate comes from.

First, a lot of hate comes not from the language itself but from the ecosystem (though the ecosystem follows the ideology of the language: hacked together, go fast and break often). While I used to hate on PHP, I'm now neutral because I only heard good thing about its ecosystem (the language evolved a lot too, it helps). Javascript could get there, but a lot of work is needed.

> Being multi-paradigm has its perks

It also has drawbacks. It means you have to learn those paradigms or restrict yourself to those you know. A codebase use a paradigm you don't know? Though luck. A codebase use several paradigm at once? Yeah enjoy that.

> It doesn’t matter how robust a language is, an unskilled developer still has the same potential to create disasters [...]

That's the crux of the matter. An unskilled developer doesn't have the same potential to create disasters. Languages with a lot of footguns have more potential for disasters. Javascript, as a language, has a lot of them. "clear structural and syntactical requirements" reduce that potential. Enforcing consistent formatting reduce that. Checking types reduce that. Having less non-obvious behaviors reduce that. Javascript just don't do any of that.

> As developers, we tend to be biassed towards what we know best.

Well, my main bias is toward what's maintainable and will get the job done fast. Javascript doesn't rank as well as other languages on the maintainable part.

> JavaScript is probably the only language where you can copy and paste code from Stack Overflow and, 90% of the time, it’ll work the first time around

I didn't have similar results except for very basic code. While we would need a larger sample rate, I generally have more success with other langagues.

> Everyone talks about learning Angular, React, and Vue, but never really about Vanilla JavaScript.

That's because our work is to get the job done, and unless you have very simple requirements and/or little maintainability concerns, using a framework is a must (otherwise you end up doing your own framework, invariably worse than existing frameworks and using up a lot of time).
Doesn't Palantir also contract with Middle-Eastern governments that are not exactly known for their outstanding record on LGBTQ affairs? If so, I'm surprised that that concern wasn't brought up.
Maybe in screenshots they look bad, but Celeste looks great it motion. Lots of good lighting effects, motion effects, and other things that make it look modern.

Undertale has really basic art in certain sections (like in the provided screenshot), but it really ups the detail in a lot of areas (especially certain boss fights) that again, make it look modern and better then the authors games.

My opinions used to be similar to yours. The current copyright regime in the US, as well as the application of patents to software and "business processes", both feel like abuses and perversions of the original intent of US patent and copyright law.

Having said that, I've become a bit more pragmatic over time. I can see value in limited-time monopolies being granted by statute. (Can you imagine the wacky alternatives that private individuals and companies would write into contracts if "IP" law didn't exist?) Limited-time, being a major sticking-point with me, and something that really needs to fixed under the current US copyright regime.

Industrial AR Revenues: $3.7B by 2023
If the Trump administration had just opened with this, I think we might have saved ourselves a lot of stock market turbulence with tariff pissing contests. U. S. sellers start in the hole by the fact that they can't even compete on shipping prices with Chinese companies. It reminds me of the Shell gas station owner I worked for many decades ago who complained that the local drugstore could sell quarts of oil cheaper than Shell sold it to him, a Shell station owner. Now how are you supposed to succeed with a rigged system like that?

Let's see how it goes when the price of shipping actually reflects the fact that the $1.50 piece of molded plastic had to take a boat ride half way around the world.
Are you worried about the size of your market then? Because organizations that would qualify for enterprise pricing plans for a lot of these SaaS providers are probably pretty limited - Capiche?

In all seriousness, a LOT of Enterprise Software Pricing negotiation (Oracle etc) literally comes down to "what can you afford to pay?" type activities from sales reps. Couple that with super shady maintenance contracts and renewal processes and it really begs for transparency. SMBs get killed every day by sales reps who literally live and die by the lack of transparency in the Enterprise Software Space.
If you want to understand Linux systems programming, I've never found anything better than the book The Linux Programming Interface. For Linux internals, Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love is good. For something more removed from current systems, The Design of the UNIX Operating System and Operating Systems: Design and Implementation are good.
12 years didn’t seem right to me for the amount of time people keep cars.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/content.autotrader.com/content/...

The average age of a car people drive is close to 12 years but people keep cars for a little over 6.
Thanks, I didn't realize how out of date I was on that whole Ask debacle. Shows how long it's been since I downloaded the Oracle JDK by hand, I guess...

In any case, I'm impressed that OpenJDK manages to be a clear winner on all of access (no login needed), convenience (package managers set up paths), and principle. FOSS doesn't usually have a reputation for being faster and easier to set up than its owned alternatives.
You really shouldn't be fingerprinting at all. As sexy as a risk department may find it. Imagine what the social interaction would be like if you implemented that functionality in the physical world, but replace the computer with the user's home, and the service as you.

Before even so much as a how-Dee-do, you're running all over the house cataloging the exact position of everything in order to "decrease your risk exposure."

This would get you shot in some locales. Is it truly a mystery why this type of intrusion going on makes people uncomfortable.

It's one thing to explicitly ask to do so. Implicitly doing so without giving the client a chance to refuse is both rude and exploitive.

I think this is going to be heavily industry / platform specific.

Web devs like to release generic reusable parts as open source. Often in the hope that someone else will help maintain them.

I don't think people stealing would stop an artist from creating art. I think for people who view it as an ends to a mean, and make a living, it might make them seek other means of employment. But for the idealistic morons out there who create for the sake of creating, this wouldn't stop them in the least bit.
This fee goes to TSA, not the carrier.

"The Passenger Fee, also known as the September 11 Security Fee, is collected by air carriers from passengers at the time air transportation is purchased. Air carriers then remit the fees to TSA. The fee is currently $5.60 per one-way trip in air transportation that originates at an airport in the U.S., except that the fee imposed per round trip shall not exceed $11.20."

It's not as rare as you might think. All sun-synchronous orbits are slightly retrograde (inclination = 98 degrees or so at 600 km) in order to take advantage of the precession caused by the earth's equatorial bulge and maintain the same local solar time in the ground track.

Also, Israel always launches in a retrograde orbit, since they have neighbors to the east who would react too well to what looks for all intents and purposes like a missile launch, or to expended rocket stages dropped on their heads. For that reason, Israel launches retrograde over the Mediterranean.

Even neglecting a retrograde orbit, though, just a slight difference in inclination is enough to totally ruin your day. Even if you're only off by one degree, if you're travelling at 7.8 km/s your closing perpendicular velocity at the node crossing is 7800*sin(1 degree) = 136 m/s. That's almost 500 km/h, plenty fast enough to ruin your day.
No they are talking about reliability and longevity. I’d say most cars in this century are generally very reliable. Toyota started it in the 80s with their superior manufacturing techniques and defect controls.

You’re talking about features like Bluetooth, hands free, and driving assistance.
> there's a lot of cork sniffing sane nose thumbing generally, even though two designs may be electrically exact.

You nailed it. An old friend of mine wanted to get me to start a boutique stompbox business with him since I was a bit more technically inclined (ie, I could read a schematic and solder).

I just couldn't do it. It's too much. I love messing around with that stuff, but I could not be bothered to wade through all the cruft and politics of that. I just like music.

BTW, you should be able to cut the highs well enough with your guitar tone knob or EQ on the amp. You can get something like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIU0RMV_II8 (Fender Stratocaster -> Fender Showman w/ spring reverb. I was saddened to find out just now that he passed away this spring)
> That's what's crazy. It's assuming everyone has two cars and none of them are ever in the street.

Erm, no. It assumes that at some point the 2 bedrooms will actually be occupied, hence 3+ people will live in the apartment. 2 cars for 3 people isn't "crazy"...
Linux and the open source ecosystem is evidence that creativeness is not limited to creators who sell a product.
Well there's some tradeoff there but no, not that ratio. In general, yes, all of those features that are not the drivetrain still impact your range.

There seems to be a global movement against migration, which is in one sense pretty funny. I kinda like the ones who think they are vikings, 'vikings against migration', being one of the most wonderous concepts of the modern age. I guess they have forgotten the bits about all the boats and stuff.

One thing I have been saying to those here in the UK who are against migration is that firstly, nobody in the UK gets to complain about migration. Not until the last vestiges of the largest empire the world has ever known, have finally faded from view, at the very least. Though we are working on that. But still, the British diaspora is ridiculous in scope and it would probably be wisest not to mention it, in case somebody notices. And secondly, if you think the refugee problem from our middle eastern adventures is bad, wait till you see the one that will result from all the oil we are burning.
"YMMV but I replaced the battery on my Samsung Note with two off eBay and in both cases the life was similar to the original that already had 2 years worth of wear."

I see you forgot to clear the old battery information from your phone before installing the new one - the phone is still assuming you've got the old battery in and measuring as such. batterystats.bin (Android) needs to be cleared before installing a new battery, so that it is forced to get fresh information on the installed battery.
OpenAI Method Evaluates Model Defense Against Unforeseen Adversarial Examples
The vast majority of human expression was created before the concept of "IP" existed. The business models we've had in the last few hundred years are the aberration, not the other way around.

Creators aren't entitled to a "fair" world. Nobody is.

Speaking of "fairness": How is it "fair" that someone should be entitled to profit again-and-again from a single act of work, just because that work was "creative"? Shouldn't the laborers who carried the stones to build a bridge be entitled to an ongoing royalty paid by everyone who crosses?
> Telling real estate developers to build low-income housing in areas where they could easily build high-income housing is, well, let's just say cities promise this all the time and developers never do it.

Where I currently live developers are required by law to build. Certain percentage of square meters of social housing for every square meter of higher class housing they build. When my house got build they had to build social housing right next to it.

If I understood it correctly, the city ties this to the building permits. So if you wanna build new stuff you need to show that your plans include these social and affordable flats as well.

A city should in my opinion regulate to maximize the happieness of it’s inhabitants and not it’s developers (to some degree these two overlap anyways).

Certainly you could also try to change things via the market, but unless your city has a lack of developers why should you?

> That suggests that intellectual property is even more deserving of protection than at least natural property

No, you suggested this out of nothing. It actually suggests the opposite, because protecting "intellectual property" takes away the freedom from other people to create it themselves as if they are somehow less deserving of something they created because they weren't the first ones to get that protection.
If you want something more hands on you can try "FreeBSD Device Drivers: A Guide for the Intrepid" by Joseph Kong. It is much easier to read, and my guess is you ran into it while making those BSD patches.

He also has a short book on building rootkits for BSD, which is a very fun read and demonstrates how things like system calls work.

If you want a guide to reading actual kernel code, here is a great resource explaining where some of the foundational pieces are. With a tool like cscope, reading the FreeBSD kernel is actually pretty easy.

> I'm on board with sweeping changes, but most US cities aren't built densely enough to take advantage of public transit even if we do build it.

We are not even close to having the densest US cities use public transit well. Sparely populated suburbs are a problem, for sure, and they may require cars for a while, but cities still have too many cars because of poor transit management.
That's certainly true.

There are other factors as well that no one really knows the answer to as well. How quickly will the autonomous systems get outdated and be considered out of compliance? Will fully autonomous systems even be sold as opposed to leased with mandatory maintenance schedule? Etc.
But … we have Saturday Night human drivers, and we have no such rule for them. No complex system of reporting maps of bars and festivals and when to avoid them. Doesn't seem fair, somehow.
This actually sounds like a good thing. It costs Chinese shippers almost nothing to send stuff directly from China, while it costs me quite a lot to send stuff within the US, largely because I'm subsidizing all the Chinese shippers.

Moreover, for me to send any parcel (even very small ones, like 2 oz.) outside the US costs a small fortune these days, again because I'm subsidizing the Chinese shippers.

The left-wing is equally hostile to science, facts, and the educated, depending on which topic is under scientific scrutiny.

The hard-right scoff at the results of scientific inquiry into climate change. The hard-left scoff at the results of scientific inquiry into sex differences.

Both sides would do well to set aside their cherished narratives and simply analyze the facts revealed by the current best science.
No did you not see the TG special where they tried to drive through a big African city.

And do you think the fact that in third world countries there is a market for poop bags you carry in the car to shit into - might support my position.
There are so many questionable statements in this article. First is the 4-year scrap cycle, which seems to be based on nothing. Then there's the claim that running on-board tech and climate control will cut battery life in half, which might make sense if your battery is ridiculously small (Nvidia's full Drive system fits in a 500 watt TDP). And the cherry on top is the claim of no charging infrastructure (dubious, but even if true, why not build some for a few million of investment?) combined with the claim that fast charging degrades battery life (better not tell Tesla).

I had to look up John Rich on LinkedIn. He's a Ford lifer with no actual electric or software experience as far as I can tell. I'm disappointed.
Big brands turn to big data to rekindle growth
One thing I was surprised out with robot lawn mowers vs normal lawn mowers and robot vacuums vs normal vacuums is how many hours they are used for. I am sure cars are the same way.

My non-autonomous is 10 years old and has 140,000 miles, so 4,000 hours (at average 35 MPH) or 400 hours per year (about 5% of a year). An autonomous car could be driving for much longer, even bumping up to a 15% utilization would now mean my 140,000 miles/4,000 hours would be hit at 3 years!
So we have the fake outrage here over working with a government organization to enforce the law (which you may disagree with, but it is still the law).

Meanwhile, Apple, Google, etc all get a free pass for working with China, which is doing far worse things to its citizens, and has made no attempt to conceal that it wants to use those tech companies to do even worse things. The hypocrisy on this board is astounding at times.
