No the VW was more because the engines are transverse in those cars. But the parts are shipped from Europe and the labor is up charged because foreign car. Thanks to Denso, a lot of these parts are cheaper today but labor is still stupid.

Also Audi/VW had a stupid tensioner design which made timing belt replacements a requirement at 30k miles until they changed it. I think this is still a grand example of how luxury brands up charge everything because luxury. It costs 450 for the dealer to do the same job on my transverse Ford engine.

If someone is providing a service that generally increases the total wealth (even if they are the primary recipient of that wealth), then it is not rent-seeking.

It’s when someone is _actively trying to extract wealth without adding value_ that we call this rent-seeking behavior. It is often not obvious from the outside which is which, and it does lie on a spectrum.

Software is actually a pretty interesting case to inspect rent-seeking, but it’s not easy to pull apart in rent-seeking context (music is another such product).

So let’s imagine a reservoir of water, and there is a bridge that everyone must go over to get the water. Now imagine there is a bridge troll that demands 50 gold coins in order for people to pass. This is rent-seeking behavior. Now imagine the same scenario, but the troll built the bridge. This is not rent-seeking per se, it is wealth creation, because now everyone can get to the water source that they could not get to before. However, the troll can still engage in rent-seeking behavior (like preventing anyone else from building a bridge). That doesn’t mean that rent-seeking doesn’t come into play when chasing profits, but the term is definitionally about siphoning of wealth, not its generation, so drawing the line between profit seeking and rent-seeking isn’t really something you can do in practice unless it’s obvious that no wealth creation whatsoever comes from the rent-seeking behavior.

Let's refactor the posed question to: what natural forces circumstances and history of evolution have led to the current situation?

MS Access (1992) and Visual Basic (1991) could be pitched as a Tee-stand for software. Why didn't they take over? What happened in the 90s? The world wide web. Microsoft was over here playing desktop tee-ball while web technologies ate their lunch.

It takes time to smooth out a software stack, but it keeps getting disrupted every ten years.

Focus is great, but fluff exists everywhere. Tech and non-tech alike (although there are far more sub divisions...). Even tech.
A few years ago when I was a member of a relatively high profile open source project, I myself was once (informally) accused of non-inclusive behavior towards a trans person. It was a very confusing experience because I didn’t even know that person’s gender up until that point, much less whether they were trans or not; I only found out after the accusation. Nor did I ever care about their gender before or after the incident — the only thing I gave a damn about was the code they produced. Turns out my complaint against a poorly thought-out feature of theirs (which was greenlighted by the project lead, landed despite much opposition, and subsequently caused quite severe breakage) was distorted as an attack against their gender.

That experience and experience from other clashes against the broader CoC-wielding crowd, either firsthand or secondhand, tells me that people who are determined to inject identity politics into software are either (a) honestly over-sensitive, can’t imagine other people not giving a shit; or (b) using CoC as a convenient tool to end technical debates (when they’re out of arguments or don’t want to argue further) with folks who prefer a more blunt communication style.
Hello, this is an application I am working on and here's my story.

It is a place exploration tool, which allows to explore globe by favourite weather. For example if you liked Barcelona in June last time, it could show where else would weather be similar to that in January, when you have your travelling planned.

Back in December during Christmas break I wanted to check where else is as nice as during my last holidays. I did not find a tool to do that and I wanted to learn some functional stream processing as well (I am a developer), so I took it as a weekend challenge to see if it's possible to quickly model at all. A weekend project grew into a week, then a month, one thing after the other and now here I am with Flycatcher Club.

Currently I am considering only temperature (but have other weather data too and working on integrating it soon - especially precipitation patterns). Regardless of this lacking it is already very accurate as is.

My biggest concern was that because of differences each year the historical data will be complete garbage for matching, which proved not to be true. I periodically run benchmark by processing all the data up to a year back and comparing matches to past year's measurements. There is small number of extreme outliers of course, but 70% of matches are within 3 degrees Celsius (which I consider accurate enough) with the average accuracy being within 4 degrees across all data.

I would like to integrate other data too, so that people could start filtering weather matches by cultural, economical, reachability and other criteria. If you know some available datasets or have in mind what you would find useful - please let me know.

Happy discovering!

I was confused by that part and by rule 7.

"Rule #7: There is no secret. Craft amazingly good content."

So... Craft amazingly good content by hiring a freelancer on fiverr to write boring top ten blog posts that aren't intended to be read by anybody but Google?

On the one hand, I appreciate the author sharing strategies and ideas. On the other hand, this feels a lot like polluting cyberspace. By ranking your blogspam to drive sales on your dropshipping platform, or whatever, you're pushing actual good content off the first page of search results and into ignominy. It helps explain a general feeling I've had lately about the web getting worse and more generic.

> you should charge based on the value you provide to users

Yes, but not infinitely, not for a static product. Otherwise I should also be willing to accept infinite punishment for whatever harm my product does as long as it exists.

If I create a hammer, it could still be generating value in a hundred years, but it could also be used to break windows and kill people. So if I deserve continuous payment, shouldn't I also be liable for the damages? Why should I be infinitely rewarded just because my tool had the potential to add value when it also had the potential to do harm?

> Having guaranteed support [...] would be worth it

I agree with you there. But I think it should be optional. It sounds like that's what JetBrains is doing, albeit in a roundabout way.
Cool, thanks! I hadn't spent any time researching options to deal with this issue yet, so take this message as tempering that line of criticism.

>Social Security transfers a little under 5% of GDP from working people to old people

And since it is capped at $132,900, the burden falls on working people and not on those making more. There is no reason for that cap to exist. In fact, that the ultra-wealthy aren't progressively taxed to fund Social Security ensures the burden falls entirely on people dependent on their labor for survival.
I keep hearing this. How many twh do you think you need and why? And how much are you willing to pay for it? The sun comes out every day. On a bad day there are clouds and your panels are less effective but still produce power (except in the arctic regions). Wind blows every day somewhere but not necessarily everywhere. Well known facts. However, continent wide black clouds without any wind whatsoever is pretty rare and unlikely to last very long if it happens at all. So instead of storing energy locally, you can absorb a lot of this by moving energy around via wires.

So, you need batteries locally for fluctuations and you can cross connect sites with wires so you can import excess energy from elsewhere. Conveniently when it is cloudy, it's usually also pretty windy. Global warming is oddly helping here by creating even more wind.

So, a combination of a some over capacity, some wires for moving energy around, and some battery for short term fluctuations would be all you need. If it's not enough on the worst days, just add more windmills/solar/batteries. At the rate prices are dropping installing 2-3x the needed capacity would still be cheaper than keeping gas plants around. Those prices are projected to continue to drop of course making the whole thing only even more affordable.
Unlike singular "you", singular "they" can refer to different people.
Eh - I've had some really terrible NYC yellow cab drivers - drivers that drove really unsafely, wouldn't listen to my instructions about what route to take, made wrong turns, etc. I haven't had this problem with drivers on Uber/Lyft/Juno. I suspect that the average skill level of NYC cab drivers has gone down, since the more experiences drivers that have saved up enough for a car lease have switched to the ride-hailing services, leaving yellow cabs to be driven mostly by relatively recent arrivals to the city.

I'll hail one if I'm in a hurry and I'm already on an avenue, but otherwise I'll go out of my way to avoid it. I agree that it's really frustrating waiting for an Uber in traffic-heavy places like Midtown during rush hour, though - the yellow cab probably wins for those cases if you can find one that's empty.

I don't understand how this is great advice. You might as well say: if you can, go to med school so that when you have to deal with the medical establishment, you know how it works.

> All that said, keeping track of state changed by mutation is deceptively hard. It's a case where your intuition routinely leads you to build things you can't maintain. But sticking strictly to the claim in the OP, it's easy to learn to mutate state but hard to do.

Hard to do... safely. Easy to do wrong, though. But wrong might still work most of the time. [Edit: "Works most of the time" is not praise, nor endorsement of the approach.]

To me, this is the fundamental thing that the FP people have right. Constrain your state space or die.
Also when it's cold outside the "clean" engines are really dirty as the catalytic converter do almost nothing at low temperatures.

"One of its biggest shortcomings is that it only works at a fairly high temperature. When you start your car cold, the catalytic converter does almost nothing to reduce the pollution in your exhaust." [1]

And when it's cold the car usually starts at someone home around where other people live and that's where the pollution ends up.

For diesel engines that operate at lower temperatures this is even worse.

Sorry I was unclear, I meant it was hard for me. And maybe part of it is that I'm not great at teaching.

I mainly taught a handful of college educated people who studied things like earth sciences, arts, and ocean science, but struggle to understand a for loop or a function call.

And now I understand how it can be un-fun to struggle, especially if you don't intrinsically enjoy writing scripts and mucking around the terminal.

Most algorithms books take time to explain data structures. They are very intertwined topics. CLRS has 2/7 main sections dedicated to data structures and makes a fine reference, but it's also a lot of pseudocode and is quite in-depth. "Mastering Algorithms with C" is split nearly 50/50 between them and has real code examples though I don't care for the coding style.

My personal preference has been Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C" which introduces elementary structures first and more advanced ones with their algorithms. Sedgewick's latest "Algorithms" has Java code if you prefer, and it still rates well.
That's what I did. But even if consider my advice to be mostly "language agnostic", i.e. not about grammar and orthography, I am pretty sure the recurrent small errors and weird phrasings undermine my reputation as someone that could teach the reader something

The tariff is on foreign imports, which results in domestic trucks being privileged over foreign ones. It has nothing to do with customers choosing light trucks over cars, and if anything, it should rather incentivize customers buying cars over trucks, as there's more competition there, and so presumably lower prices.
Cabs are getting better these days, especially with app improvements, but as your note mentions unless I know I'm always going to be in a place where there is a large taxi presence partnered with Curb then it's still not even a real option. E.g. Curb isn't where I am now but I can get a 3 AM Uber to my Airport, hop off at JFK, and Uber there too. The inverse is not true and will likely never be 100% true.
Interesting, but this doesn't need to be an app (or more importantly, it doesn't need to be only an app).

The boring company has not yet demonstrated their ability to dig tunnels quickly and cheaply compared to the many existing tunnel-digging companies. Politicians actually seem to love Musk’s claims of being able to do so though, considering Boring is doing well landing some deals with them.

There isn’t really much “tech” there, just a small subway tunnel with car-sized cabs instead of trains. Personal rapid transit systems have already been demonstrated decades ago and there isn’t really reason to believe they could be cost-effective at replacing personal car use.
This talked like it is yesterday. It is now. I have the same question to china

and why even out of the totalitarian system and lived in USA those chinese student still work for and like a country that not allow this and that. No democracy. No google and all privacy. No individual. And have the-education camp. And of course forcing the whole HK to revolt.

Why the Chinese can live in china?

bound is unsigned and "the negative of an unsigned quantity is computed by subtracting its value from 2^n, where n is the number of bits in the promoted operand".

So it's doing (2^n - bound) % bound = 2^n % bound.

It is quite common in SML/ML code I've encountered, probably not as common in modern OCaml. BTW, in OCaml

let add ((a:int), (b:int)) : int = a + b

Works just fine, whereas:

let add ((a:int), (b:int)) -> int = a + b

is nonsense, because '->' is a type constructer in OCaml (a function from types to types) not part of an ad-hoc syntax for function declarations (like Rust).
I see no reason to believe that the involved mods are power-hungry. You generally need to have invested tons of tedious unpaid volunteer work (raising flags, reviewing questions/answers etc.) to become elected in the first place, and the subsequent duties are more of that nature.

I mean, there surely is some merit to your thesis, but I have no idea how you think this is relevant to the situation in question. The people gravely mishandling things are exactly the paid employees, not the volunteer moderators.
You stated that rather authoritatively but I'm not convinced there's any real consensus on the matter.

Elizabeth Warren certainly has some good ideas, but the fiasco the CFPB has become is largely on her. She created a bureaucracy that was to be immune to political pressure by design, under the shortsighted assumption that she (or at least someone amenable to her) would run it. People warned her and she should have known better.

The way to avoid the next crisis is to stop bailing out the players. The role of the Fed should be ensure that the payment system remains robust and that solvent banks have access to liquidity.

Lehman Brothers should be a model for the future. Barclays and Nomura bought productive the assets of Lehman and put them to work. The investors in Lehman's poor management were punished.

On the other hand, AIG/Goldman bailout earned Warren Buffet alone about $5 billion dollars. He literally was buying Goldman preferred stock while advising the Treasury to bailout AIG (whose biggest counterparty was GS).

You, and most of the commenters in this thread, seem to have somehow missed that the author specifically objects to using the singular "they". Perhaps people are skipping to the comments and/or jumping to stock reactions to the topic of gendered pronouns instead of reading and responding to the content of the linked post. Otherwise, I've no idea why so much debate is ragimg around, for example, "custom pronouns" (ze/xir/etc), when the original author doesn't mention them at all.
Same here, GUI is a secondary concern in the Go ecosystem. But it only takes one big project, right...

Tbh, I don't know how or why the language wouldn't be suited to very elegant front-end design, I feel the biggest obstacle is general framework fatigue: people are tired of seeing every language under the sun try to do everything, so they stick with what's existing on the frontend (convergence around a few Js frameworks over the last years for instance), while Go devs keep it to server/infra mostly (unrelatingly, just doing their thing). These being just two examples.

Thus GUI options are the same as anything else afaik, provided you can interface with your Go backend. Note that I've heard bad experiences with code injection so I wouldn't try that first nor without extra care.

The solution depends on your use-case, and what platforms you are targetting. I'm partial to KDE on Linux desktop thus Qt is a strong candidate for me; however I dislike non-native apps in most situations so I'm not sure I'd recommend Qt for a wider project in target OS scope. Again, use-case, design specs should preside over this debate. Embedded, sure.
I would add: only use SEO for actual, useful services, content or products.
