Funnily enough, I had a visceral reaction when I went from capital markets to startup land, and the startup world was praising Point72. Equally shocking was how candid the Point72 team was on funding startups with the potential to have valuable “fire hose” data from retail trading patterns. Given the past history of the firm, I would have thought they would be a little more discreet about their intent.

If you’re interacting with a human, I’ll argue that synchronous messaging is the most efficient and comfortable way to communicate. Imagine how much faster customer service problems are to solve that way than with a ticketing system, email, or phone (where you have to wait on hold and one operator can only help one person at a time).

Not 100% accurate. It is a new battery pack but still based on the 18650 cells. Tesla battery packs have a numerical code which was incremented for the packs in the raven models.

The most pronounced new feature is the ability to charge at up to 200kW on the new V3 superchargers. M3 can do up to 250kW and non-raven S/X can only do in the low 100s.

> So, speaking as a dev, I feel like Docker's killer app is that it makes the config management a lot easier.

It starts with a Dockerfile, which is a limited shell script, and it does not get any better beyond that. Shell scripts are simple, I'll give you that, but please don't sell them as some magic bullet. Dockerfiles are no configuration management system.

I've seen my fair share of hairy chef, puppet and ansible in the wild. Don't read into config management from those. I've also seen beautiful ansible installs, which deploy from dev setups all the way up to full infrastructure setup and deployment with blue-green deployment.
Italian Gas Stations are somewhat unique in their own right. Highway gas stations in Europe are more full service as far a food goes. In the US its more snacks or breakfast. The QTs near me have a menu you can order from but it looks it looks very unhealthy.

technicly fast is defined as not eating.

"Intermittent fasting means different things to different people, even among the research community. This lack of specificity has been a source of consternation for experts in the field of fasting, with some advocating that the phrase be retired. Often, when someone uses this phrase they may actually mean one of the following:

Time-restricted eating
Alternate-day fasting
Periodic or prolonged fasting (multi-day) - less frequently referred to as intermittent"
It’s not the economical fallacy. It doesn’t presuppose everything can be traded for money. It presupposes that money can be a common measure for exchange between in-kind things.
What I still don't see addressed is the question how this will affect non-browser applications.

It's nice that Firefox (currently) still offers options to turn off DoH and to keep using local domains. (although the way DoH and HTTPS-everywhere are structured show that non-internet sites don't seem to have much of a place in the web of the future)

However, now that we have public DoH endpoints available for everyone to query, what will keep non-browser apps and devices from using DoH without any way to opt-out?

Currently, tracking DNS requests seems to be a common way for security and privacy researchers to get some basic information what an app or device is doing on the internet. If DoH is widely deployed, all you'll probably be seeing is encrypted connections to IPs of shared hosters.

This seems like a perfect opportunity for apps and devices to cloak data tracking and other illegitimate requests.
I’ve always thought MTA ought to change their slogan to “We’re walking here!” to capitalize of regional humor and make light of all the problems they have.

They will usually reply to criticism that it’s because the subway is very large and very old and mere mortals don’t get how complicated it is - but funny thing was they once invited experts from other cities with very old and large subways (London, Paris, Moscow) and they were just as perplexed why NYC MTA has so many operational problems and why so many infrastructure repairs had multi-decade timelines.

There are not plenty of places to still get NYC Subway maps including ones made of plastic that are far more durable, and credit card sized maps that are far more easy to manage and reference on a crowded train.

There are thousands of the electronic map terminals, they are all hard wired for power and communications, and bolted or embedded in place. It’s not like an app where you have “maps beta” and progressively improve it. Its taken years to install those terminals (still ongoing) and it will take years more to retrofit and upgrade them, with huge labor and materials costs, all going to the lowest bidder and often broken apart in bizarre ways to appease the various union interests (ladder placing needs dedicated workers apparently). They really need to nail the functionality and usability before deploying in the field, it’s more of an afterthought in MTAs case.

You see the same issues in the myriad of incompatible and overlapping apps they publish, each with their own aesthetics.

Interesting, thanks.

The zero brand seems to have been retired, and both "no sugar" and "light" use sucralose + acesulfame-K as sweetener (that's also the case for the US "diet coke with splenda” I mentioned, I mistakenly said it contains aspartame).

It seems, however, that in other countries both "no sugar" and "diet" contain aspartame + acesulfame-K (and cyclamate in some cases, but it's forbidden in some countries).
Is “technical analysis” of crypto prices nonsense?
The convergence is massive and even faster than in the 90s. Languages die nearly daily (a language dies when its last speaker dies) and with them their culture, and people consume the same media and news all of the world. I'm not going to dig up some links on the net, you can do that yourself, but these are measurable phenomena.

You're thinking in short, next twenty years or so. A resurgence of nationalism is a response to globalization, but unless we give up our ways of living entirely (no capitalism, no markets, no growth) these movements will have practically no effect. Mass media alone ensure that, let alone the nature of global trading and social mobility. Think about the next two hundred years and there is no way culture on earth will not be vastly homogeneous. Whether that's good or bad I will leave open, my personal view is that all massive shifts in human development are accompanied by positive and negative effects.

Apparently the results have a spread, depending on the CPU used to perform the benchmark - they appear to be testing from haswell to skylake so that covers a wide range of x86 hardware.

Matching ISPC perf in the low end, and being ~1.5x faster on the high end, while being able to target all hardware that Rust can target (arm, wasm, ppc, riscv...) sound better than ISPC to me, which works for x86 very well, but not so good for ARM, and not really at all for anything else.

This attitude always amazes me. You have obviously mastered a set of system administration skills over several years, and you are comfortable with a particular way of doing things. When somebody points out a weakness with the status quo and tries to offer something better, though, you react with hostility.

Why do you think that is? I understand that their solution is not perfect (nothing ever starts out that way), but the amount of aggression in your comment suggests that something deeper is going on. Do you feel threatened?

I suspect it's fear of change. As people realize that plain-text DNS is a gaping security hole, they are going to start demanding encryption. This means you, the administrator, will have to learn more skills and do more work to keep things running. Things like `.local:` printers may break, and you may have to upgrade your internal DNS servers to RFC8484 so you can keep your split-horizon stuff working. Security is never free.

Or not. None of this is mandatory, and you can just switch it off (and Mozilla will automatically switch it off if they detect an environment like yours, as it says in TFA). The threat isn't Mozilla "deciding policy" for you (they aren't), the threat is that they are calling the industry out for running old & vulnerable DNS standards, and we all know deep inside that they are right.
Noting your verb tense, “I was”, I’m assuming you’re no longer in that role. This isn’t feedback, just discussion.

I talked to Jassy after his keynote in 2018: “Your message says AWS is for ‘builders’. Why do you keep saying ‘just click and ...’ instead of ‘just call the API and’?”

In short, to your point: AWS is for builders... who pay. And right now all the growth is in enterprise, where we don’t know how to make API calls from a command line.

We don’t know how, because two decades of IT practices and security practices made sure we couldn’t make API calls from a command line. (No access to install CLI tools, no proxy, firewall rules from the S3 era still classify AWS as cloud storage and block it, etc.) So we can’t adopt AWS at all if that’s the only path in. But our proxy teams can figure out how to open a console URL. For this market, giving a point and click web page with magic infra behind it is a big deal: the modern ‘service catalog’.

So I think he’s right, that’s the dominant use case by dollar count and head count, and he’s speaking to those deciders.

At the same time, I think it’s terrible when capabilities show up in the console first or only, as the infra-as-code builders can’t code infra and services through the console.

So to anyone following along from a team with two pizzas: invest in the UI, but please nail the APIs first, and then use those from the console. Keep yourselves honest to the Bezos imperative from 15 years back: if you want it in the console, so do IaC developers, so let there be an API for that.
It depends what speeds make the motor run sub-optimally for a particular vehicle. The range 0-80 MPH is sufficient for almost all normal driving. If you want to make an efficient track car that can operate at high speeds optimally by all means introduce a gearbox. Its going to add more weight, complexity and maintenance though. I don’t think thats the target for any of Tesla’s cars besides the 2020 roadster though.
The issue is each application implementing DoH themselves. Now any software which you wish to use your own DoH resolver would have to be configured individually.

A better solution would have been for Mozilla to fund development of an enduser friendly DNS proxy application which would enable DoH system wide.

I can't do the same with hardwired DoH endpoints.

How to Build Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust
I wonder if language designers will take package management into more consideration in the future. For example, what if every library's version was included in the module name during compilation. So you automatically go from MyLibrary.my_function() to MyLibrary::V1.0.0.my_function() after compiling the code. This way you could easily run different versions of the same library in dependencies without dealing with the headaches that normally causes. The only additional restriction I would add is that you have to use an exact version of a library instead of giving the package manager discretion.

Has anyone tried to implement something like that in a language?

Collaborating on scientific endeavors is not the same as a single world government. It also doesn't account for way we and other countries do collaborate on large scientific projects, such as the LHC. Then there are the technologies that India and other countries have not developed themselves, but instead acquire or license and avoid having to reinvent the wheel, and come to understand themselves much faster than starting from zero.

India would not be dependent on the US if we used some of our expertise to teach them. It doesn't have to a black box that "just works" without any understanding of it. There's also no reason knowledge sharing couldn't take in the context of market economics. The experts that helped India wouldn't be working for free. It also doesn't have to contradict different interests, values, etc.: Vastly different groups can still have some areas of collective self-interest that coincide. India for example is the world's largest Democracy. That alone is a good reason for the US to want to help make them successful and provide to them scientific help that advances their society and thereby assists in their long term stability.

When I lived in Raleigh/Durham back in 2011, I bumped into John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats at a coffee shop. We chatted for a few minutes and he said that he hears a lot of people say that Durham is the Brooklyn of the south, but he doesn't buy it. He thinks (and I agreed) that it has its own charm, its own vibe and its own identity, and that people are trying to make it into something it's not.

That's to say, I think you're absolutely right - people want to move to these places cause they perceive them as little Brooklyns or little Seattles. They have the sensibilities and prestige of those places, but not the crowds or the cost.
