One important side effect of going fast is that you need to slow down fast. So better braking power. (Though the problem with supercars is that simply using something that needs replacement every few hundred miles is "acceptable".)

Similarly anything that rotates has to withstand torque and centrifugal force. Eg wheels. (See also this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ImAm1WhcY for what it takes for going 3x faster.)

These advances result in capital investment for R&D, percolate through the supply chain, and this can lead to better techniques here and there. (But I think after a certain point the disparity between the technology - the trade offs - needed for 100 mph and 300 mph become so large, that the resulting new/better capabilities doesn't mean anything for the normal automobile ecosystem.)
Amusingly enough, 10.15 is the first and last macOS to ship with python3 bundled as standard.

As to the rest of it, I’ll just re-post the same comment I post every time some muppet starts with all the wailing and rending of teeth:

This is a perfect opportunity for FOSS to position Homebrew—a proven, successful, developer-friendly software distribution channel—as an integral part of the standard development toolkit of ALL Mac developers; up to and including convincing the Xcode team to bundle it themselves.

I fully agree, that's why we created "Piral", which is microfrontend solution that advocates using a single UI library (React). Of course, it also allows running multiple frameworks (such as Angular or Vue), but they are opt-in and by default people should just use a single one.
Thanks I'd never seen this. So there have been quite a few incidents, but the takeway at the top seems to be there has been no fatality “at high-speed”. I guess that's something to be proud of, but that's still far from a perfect track record.

No, doing and distributing a video of it are completely different things. There's nothing wrong with children being naked to take a shower, for example, but distributing a video of naked children showering is completely different territory.

I'd argue that intend and who it's shared with that matters a lot. A nudist family's holiday pictures might be harmless when it stays in the family, but turn into child porn when it ends up on sex sites.

In general, I'd say that distributing any sex act involving someone else, without the consent of that other person, who needs to be adult enough to be able to give that consent, should be illegal.

I fully agree. With both comments, both yours and branko_d's.

The way I read the article, it seems to suggest that by removing rows from the select list would somehow always result in better performance. In my opinion, in the majority of cases there will be no measurable impact on performance.

In some specific cases, however, yes, it can make a big difference. In postgres it also seems like selecting all columns explicitly, but out of order can be detrimental to performance:

Doesn't matter anymore, Clang and GCC will both make any and all optimizations they can find by assuming you will never hit UB, including just erasing all UB code. You can dislike it, but that's just the reality now, and ignoring it won't make it go away. The only way to change it would be a change in the standard.
Just a small nit: almost all high-speed systems still use fixed block signalling, but with in-cab signal indications as you say to give more warning time (and a constant reminder rather than having to spot a signal as it goes by in a flash). Moving block turns out to be much harder to implement than expected; it's included in the European Train Control System's level 3, but even most new installations are of level 2 (fixed block with in-cab signalling).

People sometimes mix up microfrontend with "running multiple frameworks". Its not the same. Actually, the main difference between microfrontends and microservices is that microfrontends should be written with an application shell and many (development) boundaries in place - otherwise the UX will be terrible and hard to get consistent.

I believe most ejection cable aircraft have a switch for changing between "eject both of us", and "eject just me". The actual ejection is set off by a rather large, difficult to use on accident, bar/lever. By default set to "eject just me". IIRC the sr-71 even had an indicator light showing if the other guy had ejected.
I was disappointed by this article because it has almost nothing to do with the "Periodic Table of Elements," just the elements themselves -- as if we're supposed to be surprised by the fact that elements are in things.

The article also presents the number of elements in things as if that can show some kind of quantifiable change in a positive or negative way (for example, they call out the number of elements in a cell phone as having increased since the first cell phone).

I was hoping for something a bit more insightful about the design of the periodic table itself, whether about

1. Increasing order by atomic mass (and the ramifications thereof)

2. Arrangement of periods and the predictions we've been able to make/use

3. The groups of the table and the predictions we've been able to make/use, though I guess this is most common among the noble gases

4. Rare earth metals

And I'm sure there's a lot more I don't know -- every time I learn something about the periodic table, the more impressed I am by how orderly and patterned it is today despite having been initially designed (with gaps!) a century and a half ago.

The article could even have gone into how there are spoofs of the periodic table just because it's such a lasting, easily-understandable design.

Fry's always brings one story to mind for me. I used to work for a video game studio that was around the corner from a Fry's. So, we made frequent visits on our lunch breaks. I don't recall what the item was, but a coworker had purchased some electronic device of about $300. Probably an HD-DVD player or something based on the time. He ended up returning the item, but they would only give him store credit. So, he took a shopping cart to the electronic components aisle and proceeded to fill it with $300 worth of 5 and 10 cent resistors and other items. Went to checkout to spend his store credit. Then immediately went back to customer service to return his items. At that point, they decided they could make and exception and give him cash back!

Note that even in Herbert's world, most members of the congregation setting up OC retracted their support for the Bible and/or got executed by their churches soon after coming back home. Universal adoption came centuries later.

I think something similar does happen in the real world. Sitting on a fence does win you hate from both sides, yes. But take for example Poland, a deeply Catholic culture with quite a bunch of Islamic symbolism (e.g. traditional szabla being a crescent-shaped sword, unlike the cross-shaped of the rest of the Europe) and even a well integrated Muslim minority (stuck around since repelling the crusade in 1410).

That's very true. My two quartz watches, a Seiko and a Timex are both reasonably cheap, accurate and save for the odd battery change maintenance-free. My mechanical Seiko on the other hand.... it's beautiful but it seems to have a mind of its own. In the 8 months that I had it it started gaining about 5min a week. I understand automatics do gain or lose a couple of minutes a week, but even so. After being spoiled by the accuracy of quartz, that bugs me.
Power only being turned on a few hours per day is supposed to save power, and act as a form of rationing.

If everyone buys batteries and charges them when the power is on, and uses them the rest of the time, it doesn't save any power, and just costs everyone far more money.

Pretty bad for the economy as a whole.

Also, that I will be used as a justification for dictators is nothing at all to me.

A car built for top speed is not the best choice on a race track but you don't need a purpose-built race car to have an occasional fun track day. Occasional because it's not cost-efficient to bring an unmodified sports car to a race track too often (brakes and tires will go quickly), as opposed to a dedicated track car, and at some point, even the fastest sports car will seem slow in turns and under braking. A car built for top speed should be exhilarating on a drag strip, though I doubt more than a few owners will go.

Groups of people doing evil things a conspiracy theory does not make. Conspiracy theories are about alternative and under-substantiated explanations of already-explained events.

"Evil shit" happens. Coordinated disinformation campaigns to misdirect the public over a long period of time by large unknown groups does not.

My "assumption" is not any kind of strawman absurdist extreme (I never said anything about perfection but nice try), it's simply the reality that conspiracy theories are hallmarked by three distinct attributes that make them categorically nonsense: lack of relevant and credible evidence, lack of falsifiability, and lack of predictiveness.

They literally meet none of the criteria of the definition of a theory, which is why they're a joke and have no place in rational conversation.
Which specification though? At the time they were being designed and procured, I think the specified tolerance for frequency change rate on the grid was 0.125Hz/s, but this was relaxed in 2014 to 1Hz/s (see https://www.nationalgrideso.com/document/10771/download). How much the effects of relaxing this on existing equipment was considered, it's not clear.

Similarly, the grid's license gives them a ±1% variation around 50Hz (so ±0.5Hz from https://www.nationalgrideso.com/balancing-services/frequency...).

So we have a power anomaly where the frequency moved >0.125Hz/s and dropped well below the 49.5Hz license threshold. I don't know what the procurement spec was, but I'd be very surprised if this event was "in-spec" for the trains, so in the absence if this it's probably reasonable to say that GP is incorrect.

Transformers get quite unhappily melty if you drop the frequency too much, so if your cooling system isn't designed to cope with this, it's probably better to shut down than have an exciting fire.
Gartner: Samsung and Huawei sold one-third of phones in Q2 2019
I rented a car a couple of years ago that read speed signals and kept them in the dashboard for about 30 extra seconds. It was great usability. It only dealt with speed limitations and a couple of other signals, though - if it dealt correctly with “next exit” signs I would never buy a car without that system.

Um, nope. The choice of railroad gauge was a historical artifact: in the beginning, everyone had a different gauge, then we had like 15 gauge standards and "standards", and one of them eventually prevailed (through British administrative fiat). The choice was not due to an inherent superiority of this particular gauge, but due to a campaign by George Stephenson. From there, it was mostly network effect: popularity breeds popularity.

Gauge is, most of all, a tradeoff between construction costs (tunnels, bridges, cuttings, oh my! Every additional inch of the gauge gets real expensive in Actual Terrain; ditto for train stations: narrow gauge can fit many more tracks next to each other), and between operating costs (wider gauge cars can be wider _and_ higher, as they're inherently more stable; thus, more cargo on same number of cars).

Personally I don't have a problem with somebody serving in government administration moving on to a role that's independent of government. Not everybody in administration is a political entity, and it is very possible for somebody who had been a political entity to leave politics behind. The same people who like to spin everything into conspiracy were also keen to point out that Mario Draghi had previously been with Goldman Sachs. ...so if it is somebody from public administration, there's a conspiracy theory. If it is somebody from business, there's a conspiracy theory, too. In that case where are these people supposed to come from? In my opinion it's a good thing that people need a proven track record of some kind or another to be eligible for offices like that, you can't just pick them up on the street just because, for political reasons, you require that they should have no past of any kind.

And, finally: European sovereigns weren't particularly in trouble in 2008. It was in 2010 that the crisis had made its way into the accounts of sovereigns, most notably the Greek debt crisis which later expanded into a debt crisis for Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain. During that time, this mechanism was, indeed, a much discussed topic, but precisely in the sense of what I previously wrote: It was a historical precedent for how a sovereign debt crisis plays out when you can't just inflate your way out of it.
