I definitely get the appeal of a diesel! I even enjoy the 8 (?) speed modern 320d/330d. But red-lining a decent petrol engine can't compare.
It is like Tree Style Tabs but with better keyboard shortcuts, handles a tree of the entire browsing session and not just for a single window and it can act as a session manager where you can close entire (sub-)trees without losing their tree hierarchy. It also can (periodically) upload the tree to GDrive and allows you to restore the hierarchy on different devices.

The drawbacks are that some features are paid only, it is closed source and afaik, it doesn't even work on other Chrome-based browsers because it relies heavily on the Google account login.

I hadn't really thought about that aspect before, but it is maybe not a coincidence that OPEC was founded in 1960 which would be around when Herbert was thinking about / researching Dune. I recently started re-reading it and IMO it still seems really fresh despite its age. A classic.

So you don't store numbers of any of your contacts? You must have some insane memory ... but then again ... maybe memorizing random people's data should also be illegal... I mean did the people who told you those details give you permission to memorize it? I think not. And when you enter those memorized details into your browser or phone ... who gave you permission to do that?! Blatant GDPR violations.

I think this is true and very valid criticism against these point "ancient civilizations" had allegedly figuered out, but I do believe that the strive to more safety/control is indeed making people crazy. Not a bit excentric, but batshit accute insane crazy.

There is no rational evaluation of real dangers and this irrationality is one, if not the most prominent, driving factors for policy. Hell, people are scared because of tweets and mass surveillance is implemented with justifications an occult voodoo mom would get a red face for.

It makes for good marketing in countries still using miles obviously. They'd be stupid not to publicize it.
In terms of performance, the primary rationale for only retrieving columns you need would be to allow the database engine to select a proper index to use, specifically, one that covers all the columns you are making use of. This can actually have a massive impact on the execution plan, far more than simply fetching say 2x more data, as you point out.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the practice of selecting all columns makes it practically impossible to make use of covering indexes for high impact queries.

In what aspects did you find the newer Firefox worse than it was years ago? Aside the dumbing down of the preferences menu, which I deeply dislike but is common to Chrome as well, I found not a single thing that would make me switch to Chrome today. Chrome was indeed a lot faster than FF when it came out, there was no comparison at all, but things changed a lot.
Just to be clear, I'm not at all a Mozilla fanboy (in fact using Waterfox in place of Firefox where I can) but should I have to choose between Firefox and Chrome I'd have no hesitation. Todays Chrome domination is due exclusively to advertising: inviting users to use your product to surf the web on your start page helps a lot if you're the #1 search engine in the world.

Some joins may be completely eliminated if the fields coming from them are omitted from the SELECT list. This happens when the DBMS can prove (through FOREIGN KEYS) that the joined row always exists, without having to ever physically retrieve that row.

This is especially important when querying views (or inline functions, if your DBMS supports them) built on top of several other layers of views.

Reading List – Designing a Practical Distributed System
I don't know about solaris, and I know macos had kernel changes which broke go, but freebsd has a stable kernel interface and unstable userspace. (So does linux, for that matter--ever try running a program linked to a newer version of glibc?)
I already contribute to other software projects that are more important to me than Firefox. And it would be impossible for me to contribute every feature I want to every open source project I use anyway, so what you propose is not very practical and doesn't really help, does it?

On the other hand, it only takes me a few seconds to complain on the official channels when they add a feature I don't need or remove one that I use so I think I'll keep doing that. Maybe enough users will agree and Mozilla might react to the complaints. Probably not though, they've been pretty deaf to the community lately. A change of CEO might be a chance for that to improve, so that's why I made my comment.

I have very little experience in compiled languages. Coming to Go after Python was not only a joy, but I was able to easily implement concurrency and improve the performance of my game of life simulation side project by something like 25x.

So to me it feels like they did something right.

I guess maybe there just sometimes being a way to do something right only one way, makes searching for solutions, easier. I contrast that with another language I love, Ruby, where it can sometimes feel like there are so many ways to do things that the language isn't opinionated at all.
The driver can't usefully brake in response to a person on the track, but they do need to be able to brake in response to a trackside signal. At 140mph, braking distances are greater than sighting distances - by the time you've seen a signal, it's too late to stop. That's catastrophic in a fixed-block signalling system, which can only detect the presence or absence of a train in a particular signalling block; if you end up with two trains in the same block, you've got to run the whole line at a crawl to restore safe separation distances between trains.

High speed trains universally use moving-block signalling with in-cab signal indication; rather than relying on fixed trackside signal lights, the signalling system constantly tracks the exact location of each train, creates a virtual signal block around that train and indicates signal aspects and line speeds to the driver on a display in the driving cab.

The article implies that the problem seems to be caused not necessarily vaping as such, but by two things:

1) vaping things that really should not be vaped, resulting in oil droplets getting in your lungs. e.g. "cannabidiol oil, which is not designed for vaping but has been used that way." Apparently some vaping fluids are much worse than others, thus the recommendation to "stop buying bootleg and street cannabis and e-cigarette products, and to stop modifying devices to vape adulterated substances."

2) people not seeking timely medical attention and lying about the causes, as marijuana possession is still a crime where they live.
I think RSS are the wrong starting point for such a task. They may syndicate limited content, may contain ads, etc. So I guess you want to collate the posts rather than the feed entries themselves.

Personally, I "solved" a similar issue of mine (collecting posts I want to read in a weekly EPUB and send them on my Kindle) with Pocket and a web service called Crofflr. (Notice Crofflr seems to be under no active dedelopment, but in my experience it just works). I guess Instapaper offers a similar service, but I never tried it. You can automate the RSS-to-Pocket (or other read-it-later service) part with tools such as If This Then That. Hope this helps.

Yeah, it's a personal work-disability insurance. It is very expensive. But if you lose your hands as a programmer, for example, you will get paid your salary for the rest of your life.
The most important reason why the TGV has not had any accidents is actually a really simple one: it only runs on very high quality rails with large turn radii and excellent maintenance of the railbed.

Freemasons sounds cool, but it's image is an issue, especially for younger people. I kind of see it as a society with much older members, and there really isn't much incentive to join one tbh. Especially since I don't really know what their mission or purpose really is.

To me this is akin to saying that kids under slavery need to learn coping strategies. Yes, it could help, but there is no reason to think it would counteract the inherent effect of their environment - and it lays the blame in entirely the wrong place.

The pointlessness is kind of the point, along with a bit of juvenile thrill. These cars are a display of wealth and excess. You're telling the world you can afford this much power and don't need to worry about things like utility or efficiency, and maybe you'll just keep it in a garage or drive it around a track, but still you can have a car so powerful it's almost illegal and most people can't.
Now, think about children having these augmentations activated from birth. Their "self" would be essentially enmeshed with the external service. Scary.

Edit: strange I didn't think about it directly, but that is the Borg from Star Trek.
Does anyone have any insights to if this brings any interesting science to the table that is applicable outside of this context? I personally have zero interest in a fast car going fast, but it's always interesting to see how these sorts of difficult feats help humanity in more general ways.
The last several times I went into Fry's in palo-alto I was accosted by aggressive comcast salesmen.

It made the experience significantly less enjoyable. For me, personally I can't say that amazon replaced frys-- after all I was already purchasing many of the things I'd go to frys for via newegg for many years before. Fry's was a go to for things I didn't care to wait for shipping, for oddities found browsing, and things low enough in value to not be worth shipping.

I'm typing this on a computer I purchased at that store, in fact. But with experiences like the comcast sales people I would have said that it would have likely been the last even before hearing that the store would be closing.
I've heard rumors the store in Renton is closing. I can't seem to find anything to back these rumors up online.

VS Code is not universally extensible. Atom is.
Extensions in VS Code have a lot more limitations. This is also in part because VS Code was designed to be more performant than Atom.

It's pretty impressive.

In terms of a daily driver, I think the fun comes from the acceleration, and thus the torque a car can produce.

My daily driver is a Mazda 3 / Mazda Axela, which comes with 200 Newtonmeter torque at 6400 rpm. It's ok, it's fun, but yeah.

So the other day I drove a 2013 Nissan Leaf (BEV), which gives you ~250 Nm torque right at the beginning. This was so much fun to drive.

So for me, a car doesn't need to have a ridiculosly max speed - I need max torque from the start.
Thanks for encouragement!

I'm curious, and I hope that's okay to ask, but could you share an example of your journal-ish poetry?
Bugatti and all supercar manufacturers are in the "futile" business.
Fonts are like art: I don't know exactly why I like something, but I know when I do.

This font is gorgeous.
I know you are probably just speaking in jest but "faster" is all relative. If you put this Bugatti in an F1 race, it probably wouldn't win. They are both engineered to do their very specific things.
I hope all is going to be well.
>Probably the name stuck thanks to this amazing satire of a js library. http://vanilla-js.com/

Using "vanilla" to describe a standard, unmodified and un-customized version of something is a very common idiom. This satirical website followed the convention, it didn't coin the expression. I don't think it's even jargon, it's just based on the meaning of the adjective "vanilla":

Lacking adornments or special features; basic or ordinary: "a delicious twist to a vanilla plot" (Ian O'Connor).
Going around 160km/h on highways in Europe is pretty common, also higher speeds for eg. in Germany
“It was inconvenient,” one ejectee says, dryly. He was in the backseat of a plane when it collided with a bird in June 1999. “The overhead canopy was smashed and there was blood and gore everywhere,” he recounts. “I didn't realize it was the bird—I thought it was the pilot and when I looked in front he wasn't there, so I ejected. I broke five vertebrae and so lost a few centimeters,” he says wryly. In fact the pilot was there, just bent over checking for damage, and later able to land the plane.

So it's possible one person ejects, but not the other? Also from the description of the seat wouldn't you know if the guy in front of you had ejected? The seat is really big. And what if you suspect the other person is unconscious? How do you pull the chord on his behalf?
There are a number of religious themes blended in Dune. The main religious text is the Orange Catholic Bible, which by name implicates Catholicism/Christianity, but also includes Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism. It even includes hypothetical blends of Islam/Buddhism and Christianity/Buddhism. Frank Herbert never fully explains how all religions eventually ended up blended into one, but he does explore the religion quite a bit, and some background is given in the prequels that his son wrote.

I enjoy it, because I feel very clever when I recognize how some idea in Dune can be traced to an existing religion or philosophy.

Unions, mostly. The tech is there, especially on a 100% grade separated line like the TGV - no road crossings, and the full length is either fenced, in tunnels, or on bridges.
Interesting project.

Although it's viable to transpile Erlang or Elixir to JavaScript, without the BEAM runtime everything seems pointless.

However if an BEAM is viable we could do interesting things like React fiber equivalent could just be processes.
Also Bugatti is part of the VW Group - so it's possible that some day the engineering may trickle down to all of the other brands in the group (such as the humble Skodas I've been driving for the last few years).
Just because the train can’t be stopped doesn’t mean there is no point. Much better to hit something at 50 rather than 70.

And even that is not entirely true. The TGV can only run this fast because it runs on tracks where only the TGV is allowed.

The rail bed is even not that great, that's why only some ICEs are allowed on TGV routes, because they need a special deflector which is more robust to tolerate the stones which are thrown up in the air when the train drives over it.

I think they took this in consideration when they designed the latest iteration of the ICE.
why? that was useful to me. everyone aside from the US uses metric.
Looks like there is a lot of chances they made a mistake then, and so an autopilot landing might actually work.
OK, you're right. I should have clarified my statement; there have been no serious incidents on LGV tracks while in service. Level crossing accidents and collisions take place outside the LGV tracks, when the TGV run on standard railway tracks. Only one high speed derailment caused fatalities, and that was during a test run.

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt." – Rob Pike

That's true of attempts to remove the guard, but I don't think it's true of automating the driver.

Automatic train operation systems are expensive to design and maintain, and their advantage is mainly in precision: if you're trying to put 30 trains an hour down a segment of tube tunnel, it's very helpful if the system reacts immediately to red signals and brakes at a constant predictable rate.

For longer distance services, not only is the cost of fitting ATO equipment to the track much higher (as the routes are much longer), but the schedules don't need such precise operation. It is probably cheaper to retain drivers.

In practice, even most metro systems with automatic train control still have someone on the train: it's important in an emergency and if there are degraded conditions or unusual operating needs it's helpful to have someone trained to take over.
