I do not want to dismiss those deaths, but the very terrible consequence of Chernobyl were ecological. In particular the fact that a significant area is going to be uninhabitable for a long time.

Humanity could survive to even thousands of accident each killing thousands of people, but a thousand Chernobyl would be quite problematic.
Wireguard is an extremely simple protocol, basically as simple as it is possible for an encrypted VPN protocol to be.

OpenVPN uses TLS (in TCP mode) and a custom protocol based off of TLS in UDP mode, its design is vastly over complicated by the use of x.509 certificates, and in general is just kind of ugly and kludgy (and slow).
I think the goal is feature parity. It is going from 2-3 so I would expect some backwards incompatibility. I know they plan on shipping a separate compiler just for IE11 if you need support for that browser. The new reactivity model is driving that decision.
It seems somewhat silly to only talk about the negative aspects of cars. What about all the benefits?

If you stop and think about it, cars are truly revolutionary. Even many low income people can buy a machine that will travel 50 miles (at 70 mph) on a gallon of liquid that costs $3.

It not only allows individuals the freedom to travel, vehicles power a massive transportation network that brings food to our tables and a ton of consumer goods to our local stores.

I would argue the automobile is one of the greatest technological inventions of the past 200 years.

My personal experience with mergers is that prices usually go up (never down, might stay the same), customer service becomes less useful, and useful or unique products go away.

I applaud the merger of Taboola and Outbrain. Maybe you should do some domain name consolidation, too? You know, synergetically combine things, simplify them? Make them easier to block for my house with dnsmasq?
> if the high-speed crash rate drops to almost nothing

The high-speed crash rate is almost nothing - statistically speaking.

Most accidents are on city streets at relatively low speeds.

What more, statistically speaking for number of miles driven, we already have a near-zero rate of fatalities. Can it be better? Sure, but it will never be entirely zero, even with full automation for all road vehicles.

> reverse the SUV arms-race

The SUV fascination is not driven by some desire to have a safer vehicle either...
Practically anything “can be fatal”. If you argue in tautologies you’re never wrong, but you also never actually say anything.
This is pre-alpha. They just finally opened the repo to the public for contributions. I don't believe they are replacing any of that, just not implemented yet.

I just love Vue. Maybe I never gave react enough of a chance, but I've almost never had any issues with learning or developing using Vue. React has always felt like chore. I'm still probably technically a junior dev, so I haven't gotten too far into the weeds. But I was able to put together a fully functioning point of sale web app with dotnet core and vue, and I'm still not totally sure how it came together so beautifully.
Cars do not drive themselves yet... I'm really discussing that: full self-driving cars that can drive around with no-one inside.

There's an entire sub-space of the mechanical keyboard hobby dedicated to custom DIY keyboards.

From what I have seen lately, the focus has been on eliminating the "stagger" of the keys and going more in a grid (but still keeping the mostly QWERTY layout - though some are experimenting with other layouts, too).

You have a few brave souls doing split and ergonomic styles, too. Then you have others who build specialty "keyboards" that are closer in scope to a 10-key with additional do-dads, mostly meant for games or other "macro" tasks (Photoshop and DAWs for instance).

Of course, there's also the people playing with chorded keyboards and such - but they've always have been fairly fringe (seeing as most of the time the purpose of such "keyboards" are for custom AR rigs and other wearable systems).
I feel like libraries should probably be compartmentalized more. A room for the main catalogue of books, a room filled with outlets and empty tables for studying and working, and a room with computers / empty desks with outlets for those who need them + the printers.

I feel like libraries try to do too much all in the same space. The computer people bug the 'study-ers' with their typing, clicking, and audio. The printers are loud and disruptive. The desks are sprinkled throughout the aisles of books, wherever space could be found -- which makes it harder to navigate around to find the books you need. There's no need to be surrounded by books once you've gotten the one you need.

They're forcing 3 entirely different sets of people into the same space. If people are visiting with 3 different goals just separate the space according to those goals. Have a dedicated and separate computer lab, a dedicated room to rows and rows of books, and a dedicated room for studying -- with side rooms for group studying.

Yes, this is my concern as well. From day 1 though, I considered Vue to be a tech-debt investment as a trade off for fast development. (looks like that day is here already, time to prepare to update code in the next couple years for v3)

Maybe in the next few years browsers will add some kind of reactivity to the DOM by default? And Vue/Angular/React will be less required to get up and running quickly with something small. And I think this would hit Vue 2.x the hardest.
I use a trackball next to my keyboard which barely cracks the $100 barrier right now. The trackball won't change when the keyboard does in a few months.

I'm mostly a backend dev, but I have sort of an app idea that I'd like to work on the side. It would be a website on top of Firebase.

I was looking at Vue the other day but it seem to have the same issue for me as the other major frameworks: they need a lot of ceremony to start working with it and has a quite steep learning curve at the beginning.

Since I don't plan to scale my app to a global level, can anyone recommend Vue to pick up or should I look elsewhere?
Here in the USA, we have the best congress money can buy. Politicians are immensely corrupt and quite beholden to their campaign donors. If any member of congress dares to refuse a wealthy organization a favor, that organization can wind up bankrolling someone to primary that member of congress. As long as the supreme court maintains that money is speech, I can see no way to solve the problem of money in politics.
Driver is used to look for wide vehicles with two headlights. It’s easy to overlook a motorcycle. I have something similar with street lights - sometimes after passing through intersection I realize I had no idea if it was red or green light. It was green obviously, but processing happened in my lizard brain, not the conscious one.

Since I know how this works, I’m more vigilant on my motorcycle. I always slow down before the intersection, sometimes well below the speed limit if it’s crowded. I don’t look at drivers, I look at wheels. I can see wheel rotation quicker than whole car movement.

Didn’t die yet, so I assume it works.

The title of this article is unsupported by its contents. The only mention of self-driving cars in the article outside of the title is in this paragraph:

> There are many who say that autonomous or smart cars will solve this. So far, I’m unpersuaded. Since 2014, over $80 billion dollars has been spent on “smart” or connected cars (more on these in a minute) and autonomous vehicles, arguably to make cars safer. But investing in the car of the future is investing in the wrong problem.

So the only evidence the author presents that "Self-Driving Tech Won’t Change That" is the amount of money that's been spent on the problem so far? I don't see how that proves anything.

Artisan caps are a whole different thing. Basically the idea is that you get a fancy looking keycap that might be a little sculpture cast in a clear resin or even something 3d like a metal fist of thanos, and you replace 1 or 2 keys on your keyboard with it like an accent decoration.

Frequently people do it with the escape key and the space bar. They sell out fast and for certain designers I've seen the prices go up from $70 during the group buy to hundreds.

Here's one I wish I got so I could keep and use it. I missed out though and I refuse to pay $400 for a space bar.

They are legitimately a work of art though.

This is pure FUD.

You can already write a render method. In vue 3 the use case will be the same and most people will be using template tags in their single file components same as today.

The big change is that the availability of a new js api for the component. This is optional, and seen as an advanced use case, or for people who need better typescript support, etc.
There is a mile-wide difference in acceptable behavior endorsed "from the top down" in each system.

The US, for all of its faults, attempts to reign in immoral and counter-productive behavior within its sphere of influence. Iran is a net-exporter of terrorism (methodologies, material, and financial support). And I am keeping it very civil in my description of the differences.

By posing the question "[...] why should Iran doing it be a big problem?", I view you as purposely being disingenuous. You know why. The Iranian political leadership is a clear problem.

To be clear about my words: The Iranian people are NOT the problem. The Iranian leadership is the problem. The Iranian people are pawns on the chess-board between the US and Iran. They are the group I feel the most sadness for in terms of who is paying the biggest cost.
by this logic, life is a death machine
One thing I found very useful when driving a car was buying a clip-on wide-angle mirror for $15. It made it much easier to have constant awareness of what was on the right-hand (passenger) side of my vehicle.

I’d urge you to get it if you drive in a city with cyclists and worry about killing another human.
Yeah that does work (which I have managed to pull off)... but I feel like it's a bit more of a pain (very slightly) to change the metadata, open up the ports and whatnot to ssh. I think AWS just tells you to download a .pem file and ssh.

In conclusion, I guess both ways aren't bad. I just seem to prefer AWS here because for me it was a bit easier than GCP because I ran into several problems when sshing to GCP initially.
This is a perfect sweet spot at the moment where I will happily pay for Netflix at 15 bucks a month and Spotify for 10 and not pirate anything.

The issue with the large congolmerates like Disney taking over is that I worry they're going to return to the 'Cable pricing model' except delivered via internet, and consumers will be back to being exploited for as much as possible with as many Ad's crammed into the content as possible.

Then we'll start pirating again and have to listen to the big conglomerates complain about how much piracy is hurting their business...

Vue is super light-weight. You can drop the Vue.Js file on the page, put up a simple viewmodel, and you're done. No need for complicated Webpack-esque build systems (unless you want Single-File-Component Vue).
the Vickrey auction mechanism itself is incentive compatible - each agent maximizes their utility by bidding their true value. the article wasn't explicit on this front* but it's true!

* "All buyers will likely all pay less than they were willing to pay, which makes ‘em feel like they got a good deal." -- buyers maximize utility by bidding true value, if they bid true value, they will _always_ pay no more than their true value, so the expected value is positive. there's no "likely" to it!

That's not a hard argument to make, at all. The world pre and post car is a completely different place.

That said, the step towards Self Driving Cars will not be even close to the same level of revolutionary, and so discussing the negative aspects is important here so we don't have an 'ends justify the means' situation on our hands.
The argument is simpler, they're saying they don't care how much progress has been made because they want cars to go away, not get safer.

Strictly speaking, the _probability_ that Player 2 did correct choice is not defined unless the random distribution used by Player 1 is defined.

Consider a paradox:
Player 1 picks a random number X, writes it on a slip of paper, and 2X on another slip, and puts them randomly in front of Player 2 as "left" and "right".
Player 2 wins amount of money written on a slip he chose.

Let's say he is about to pick left one (but didn't see it yet). Let's say left has number Y. The right one has either Y/2 or 2Y, with 50/50 probability. Which means right one is more profitable to pick, because it has 1.25Y on average!

Cars don't kill anywhere near as many people in Europe, though. The US is an outlier when it comes to first-world countries.

Still, I would like it if the power was taken back from from cars on the road. Cars should be a third-class road user, below bicycles and pedestrians.

My idea for improving driver quality is to do what pilots do. Before you are even allowed behind the wheel of a car you must have proven experience using the road on a non-motorised vehicle like a bicycle. Then you can apply for a small car. After some experience with that you can apply for a large car if you need to. It's insane that we let kids drive cars before they've even learnt how to use road.
I think it's doable (I'm also a backend dev and started a frontend a few days ago). But I guess it would be great if you also get some help to begin.

You can also do it online with Warby Parker as long as you have a credit card (to hold under your face; not to pay with).
In other words it's the same network effects that weigh down any attempt at creating a new ecosystem. So if you're going to do that, you may as well start from scratch and do things better from the get-go.
I feel like this goes without saying. I doubt there are more than a few people would argue with anything you wrote above.

The trends are basically flat to declining long term for deaths, alongside significant growth in total miles driven - indicating things are consistently getting safer for everyone.

So the author is clearly cherry picking data with anecdotes.

The author doesn't even attempt to have a measured argument here and I think this is an example of how people are thinking "both extremes" need be heard but just assuming the "cars are revolutionary" is the extreme on the other side.
None of those look nearly as good as the GITs inspired, Masamune Shirow designed PS/2 serial mouse I own (only as a collector's item - I don't use it). Found it cheap on Ebay years ago. Today I don't even want to think of what it would cost (I'm sure it's become a collectors item of some sort).
Play the same source back to back between A and B, and it's incredibly easy to tell the difference between two different amps, speakers, CD players, record decks and even cartridges at various price bands. Frequently it was far from subtle, but quite extreme, particularly at the cheaper end, but still quite easy between £2,500 components (or cartridges in the hundreds).

The question as to which was more accurate, or which you prefer is an entirely different one.

Now I could never tell any difference between £5 standard interconnect and £100+ directional silliness, or beyond QED standard £1/m speaker cable. Needless to say I never bought any of that. So I've never understood the appeal of lunatic territory with £5k mains cables that look more suitable for mooring a ship.

I just can't get on board with any of these front-end frameworks. Vue, Angular, and React all seem like they're trying to lock you into their toolset such that migrating away if they die in the future (or you just wanna switch) is impossible. Not just that, they lock your knowledge to those frameworks too, so you won't have a general knowledge of fundamental pieces of web design unless you study on your own time. It seems like a new take on embrace, extend, extinguish.

This much sounds like it is true. They could tax the fossil fuel companies and redistribute it to Canadians (which is in fact how the carbon tax works, except it's not that high).
How so? The money spent on the keyboards isn't destroyed. It goes to the manufacturer who presumably spends it on housing and food and medicine and stuff.

What's being wasted?
Why separate something from state, just to mix the view with pseudo code and injected state again. That isn't what separation of concern meant. React separates state from the view, because both should be apart, but the view and the code that forms it belong to the same logical layer, called the view layer.

It never did squish styles into a monolith. Strangely, that is exactly what Vue does with SFC, do you use Vue without?
To be clear here though, you can always (*undecidably, but subject to practical constraints) fully parse a template definition into a parse tree, and that parse tree will not change for any instantiation.

In your example, 'a' is known at parse time to either be a type or a value even if it's a template parameter, so the statement will always parse one way or another. Of course, 'a' itself may change in type or value so the problem is still unwieldy and, probably key to your use case, requires knowledge of type information from a possibly far-off part of the translation unit.
