I don't think the issue is the fact it was published early, i think it's more to do with having the numbers early.

IIRC Mailgun is one of those services that let you develop your app to use their api (i.e get some skin in the game, let you do a small fraction of the free-tier emails) then instantly locks your acc until you add a card for ID. The first IP they put me on was also blacklisted by Hotmail, meaning emails don't even get through to the user's spam box.
Differential Dataflow solves the second hardest problem in computer science - caching - by calculating the optimal reactions to an event that will maintain the client's view. Of course, this requires tracking client queries and state cursors.

> all of them indicate a correct installation should eventually bound all grounds, [...] at a single-point [...] to prevent a voltage gradient developing between different grounding points

In the UK, when you get an electric car charger installed (or power to a mobile home or similar), the installers will often install an extra earth rod, right next to where the car is parked, and ground the installation to that - a so-called 'TT' earth.

After all, given that it's possible to get a voltage gradient between different grounding points, you want any grounding point you could touch with your hand to be at the same potential as the one you're touching with your feet!
> there's a decent chance people will just score everyone 5~8

That sounds incredibly unlikely to me. I don't think I know anyone who would rank both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as a 7. To the contrary, it seems like people will almost always put either 0 or 10, making it not much different from approval voting.
I imagine the land is owned by the government or the crown.

p33 says "Some of these solutions have been considered in the past, but have foundered, principally due to lack of resource" but that could change.

The road was expanded in the 60s:

>a major reconstruction programme in the early 1960s that transformed the road into a three-lane dual carriageway by removing a 20-acre (8.1 ha) section of Hyde Park

but I'm guessing the trends are a bit the other way now - less towards cars, more towards pedestrians.
I run https://encycolorpedia.com/ - its origins are from a "JavaScript as CSS" library I was developing - there were/are superior projects available, so ultimately I used the colour manipulation code to produce the site. The idea was to take a seed colour and render the page uniquely, additional on-page information grew from that. From feedback I guess the primary use of the site is paint searching and comparison.

It's not massively profitable (it's a side gig), I've restricted monetisation to AdSense in an attempt to not ruin the experience for users. I suspect other avenues of revenue are hard to come by in the niche; I did reach out to paint suppliers in the UK in an attempt to re-sell / possibly rebrand paints, but had zero responses.

This bridge collapse was featured in an episode of Engineering Catastrophes a few weeks ago.

According to the narrator, although FIU has a department for ABC they weren't consulted nor involved with the bridge project (and were not happy about it?). No idea how accurate that statement by the narrator is.

Calculus is science if it is used to discover laws of physics which are then verified through experiments. Or in other words, Newton discovered that calculus helps explain a lot of phenomena in nature and verified that through experiments, that is the epitome of science.

The problem with the data first approach you are advocating for is that it almost never results in a good explanation, and almost all the value in science lies with the good explanations we have built up throughout history. Formulas are mostly useless, you need an intuitive explanation or people won't be able to build on top of it.

It was a lighthearted remark, but primarily thinking of WSL. Let's face it, tiling window manager enthusiasts aside, relatively few people use Linux because of the glories of its GUI. WSL gives most people all the "desktop linux" they are likely to want.
I think you're confusing ebikes with motorbikes.

Ebikes are restricted to 25km/h, at least in my region. You sometimes see them going faster so you know they've been modded or aren't compliant.

A lot of ebike riders are going faster than their skills would suggest, i.e. no time to build up experience of safe riding.

I accelerate faster than many ebikes, on my CX bike (which is vastly better than your typical Amsterdam upright bike), and will peak around 30-35 for bursts when in traffic as needed. Having said that I ride hard even though unfit, and have to avoid the typical bike lanes as they're just too slow for my liking - taking the longer way home is less stressful.

I like your points about getting rid of exhaust fumes, but why stop at sub 125cc..
Matrix Algebra: The Nullspace (Kernel), and How to Find It
It really helps that in neither Denmark nor the Netherlands, helmets are mandatory. Unlike in say Sweden, where casual biking is having a hard time taking off.

But it kind of bothers me that Danes and Dutchmen seem to be rather disinterested in one another's achievements on this front. There is a lot of lessons from both sides, that never seems to be discussed in one another's media, to the point (anecdote alert!) where I've seen people in either country be surprised that there is a similar biking culture in the other country.

And people still love their cars in either country, even though I believe it's even more expensive to own a car in the Netherlands (and I thought Denmark was pricey!).
Since they censored Dissenter, they are dead to me. They can be the best web browser ever made, but it will never touch the sillicon of my hard drives ever again.

I don't think it's the land owning class that is keeping people in big cities. I think people tend to naturally congregate in bigger and bigger cities, easier transportation is bringing more people in rather than distributing them.

On the other hand, if Neumann refused to hand over the company and it goes bankrupt, his shares would have no value, he would likely have to sell his assets to cover the personal loans he has due, and the properties he owns that he's renting to wework would also collapse in value with their tenant breaking the contract. It would likely completely wipe him out.

So the question is again: Why has Softbank paid $1.7Bn to someone who is desparate to sell.

Mistakes People Make When Moving to Dubai for Business or Pleasure
Why would you drive into the medieval centre of a city to do a large supermarket shop if you can drive to an out-of-town one already?

Studies show that - particularly in Europe - most people are already walking to these shops everywhere. The 'weekly shop' is not really a thing that inner-city dwellers tend to do that often - they either rely on deliveries (cheap and efficient due to density) or smaller shops throughout the week (which often means less perishables waste.)

I don't think writing a clickbaity title like this is fair. You just write 200k large documents per second, period. Good for you but to be blatantly honest it's actually not a lot.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have written this post, but rather suggest you be fair to your readers (and yourself). Otherwise you could just make up random titles like "Writing 1 trillion log lines per second" (by storing 1,000,000 1-byte, newline-separated log lines per document).
> At this point it's probably a better idea to start preparing for the changes rather than stopping them

Yeah, this is probably best practice for people in regions that are projected to be left mostly uninhabitable / with severe barriers to life. This won't really be too much of a problem even if climate change is left unchecked, as Bjørn Lomborg says[1], it will only cost us 2-4% of GDP by end of century.

> Civilizational collapse is a slow process. I doubt the people of the later stages of the Roman empire felt their society collapsed.

I'd like to point out an important note: the guy said civilization would collapse, not a civilization. I'm not sure if you mean the same thing he does, but civilization itself has never, in history, collapsed, even during the plague and fall of the roman empire. We've been pretty much A-okay on a global level since 12,000 years ago.

You're definitely right about individual states, and it is almost certainly true that several countries may end up collapsing due to climate disruption, but not the big ones and probably no time soon.

> This is stating fundamentally that manipulation, propaganda, brainwashing etc does not work.

Those things have the desired effect only when the manipulated sentiments result in concrete actions such as voting or not voting for someone, buying or not buying something, treating somebody in a certain way, etc.

I want as much as anybody else to block the effects of these menaces. But the way to do it is to block the pathway from propaganda to sentiment to action (to use a pharmacological analogy), not to suppress the sentiment.

The whole idea of the free press depends on supporting the free expression of ideas, sentiments, arguments, and testimonies and only suppressing actually detrimental actions. As Justice Louis Brandeis famously noted, the answer to bad speech is more speech, not less. Start trying to bury some people's ideas just because they might encourage others to behave in a certain way, and it's not a long way from there to book-burning territory.
Higher pricing than i would have guessed. But I guess it solves a professional pain point so worth it
My wife went to a top-tier law school here in the UK and one risk that she didn't appreciate is that a significant proportion (I think it was about 30%) of her class simply didn't manage to get a traineeship with a law firm and without that you can't qualify.

Getting a traineeship at the time (this was the 1990s) was often heavily influenced by connections and appearance!

The superdelegates went for Clinton because there wasn't any serious institutional D challenger (Sanders was an independent before), so Clinton had by default a huge advantage there. If there was a serious internal D challenger, the picture would have been far more equal.

1. They are vey different. Those who arent aware of the large differences shouldn't comment as if they are they are subject experts. Telegram might be full of holes but it is a very different thing to Slack. (I use both for different things.)

2. I have my own issues with Telegram (the refusal to introduce sustainable funding, pushing of crypto currencies, possibly also marketing it as more than it is) but except that there's a lot to like about it and I think it is a decent starting point if someone with strong cryptographic skills wants to start with a decent client and go ahead to provide something better (either introduce e2e-encryption or improve, document and provide some way to verify the current solution.)
Hm, sorry, I overreacted somewhat. I do agree with the conclusion that the article presents, that scientific method brings great value, but that it's not enough, because there are many places we are not able to apply it. I'm however afraid of some arguments and claims the author uses to support their thesis, such as: "[person X] was a victim of the scientific method". They were not a victim of the scientific method, but of people who abused the scientific method. The conclusion is correct that the output of the scientific method as is practiced in our imperfect world, by imperfect people, cannot be zealously believed without scrutiny. (Scrutiny is in fact one of the pillars of the method!) But saying: "a victim of the scientific method" instead of: "a victim of errors in application of the scientific method" is reverse, misleading and dangerous.

In other words: if someone doesn't follow, say, fire prevention guidelines, and starts a fire, it is misleading and socially dangerous to say that a person burnt by the fire was a victim of the fire prevention guidelines!
I don't see anything that says the rod has to be driven vertically, so burying in 30" or even less of damp soil looks OK.

> on the Mac or on Windows

Let's look at something closer to this situation rather than general purpose computers. Mobiles work with different paradigms all around, especially when compared to Windows (or Linux).

There are free alternatives to Google's Play Store and yet developers still choose to pay Google's cut to have access to it. This tells me whatever benefits the "official" app store provides on each platform outweigh the disadvantages (costs) even when free alternatives are available.

> The AppStore still works on mobile because they force it.

Is there any solid reason to believe the AppStore only works because they force it, while seeing the Play Store work just fine even with free alternatives around? And users even go out of their way to get access to it.
>Maybe unusable for those that think macOS is GNU/Linux with a pretty UI.

This was the target of the WSL that Microsoft added to Windows. They won me. GNU/Linux with good UI, good software support and that doesn't break every month. It's like we're living in the future.
Indeed. You can browse through the disciplinary actions taken against engineers by professional associations and you will find all sorts of incompetence and malfeasance. I find the discipline tends to be on the lenient side—lots of fines, suspensions and reexaminations with only the occasional permanent loss of license.

Still, I'm glad professional licensure is required. That's what will prevent these folks from quietly rebranding and designing another disasterous bridge tomorrow.
I develop and sell Cursive (https://cursive-ide.com), which has paid my bills nicely for a couple of years now. Currently I make more than I made in my last job at Google. I never thought I'd be able to make a living selling developer tools, much less into a niche market, but I'm constantly amazed by how well Cursive does.

The work is a mix of fun and boring slog, like most jobs I guess. A lot of my time is spent on support, both technical and sales, so when I work less I actually end up getting more frustrated because a higher percentage of the work is not as fun as writing new features. I've also had a bad year of having to work around IntelliJ bugs, but normally I like the actual development work a lot. I have friendly enthusiastic users who constantly make my day. It's a pretty sweet gig, and being able to decide how I spend my time, and which bits of my time I spend working, is priceless.

I got started during a sabbatical from my last job, just building something that I wanted myself. It turns out that lots of other people wanted it too.
> Does anyone actually use progressive web apps?

Yes, is the correct but perhaps overly terse answer.

A more useful answer depends on exactly what you mean by PWA, as there are several common interpretations of the term.
I know, completely agree. But one thing that struck me the other day, I read a tweet from some random person that got retweeted a bunch. It went something like this, "Don't shame me for looking to natural remedies/my doctor rolls my eyes when I tell him what my chiropractor suggests/my naturopath has never rolled their eyes at something my doctor has said." It made me sad also because so many people jumped in and said basically the same thing, how "western medicine" has failed us".

Your last line is the issue that annoys people. It often lands like “rather than focusing on making other means more convenient, we’re going to focus on destroying the existing convenience to make alternatives more competitive.”

A certain amount of that, as an unavoidable byproduct, is okay with most people. What’s not ok is the perceived (or real) gratuitous destruction of convenience.
I definitely do for something I want to write myself, that behaves like an app, but has zero entry barrier. I am adding PWA best practices to everything I do now "just in case", still not quite sure if it's going anywhere, maybe it is only me. I wanted a "packing reminder" on my phone so I made https://paulypopex.gitlab.io/holiday-reminder/# and it works for me.
That doesn't make sense. None of this has changed from previous updates and all previous macOS updates were far more stable than this one. This isn't a particularly feature laden update either.

But now all of a sudden we get catastrophic (deleted emails) and less catastrophic (missing Music playlists) data loss, crash bugs and generally weird behaviour of many apps.

I have identified one particular area where bugs are endemic: iCloud and it's complete failure to deal with multiple OS and client app versions. This is clearly a design issue as it also manifests itself in many ways that are not bugs as such.

For instance, Notes has gained the ability to share folders via iCloud. But if you create a folder and then share it from a device with the latest OS version, that folder disappears from all devices running older OS versions and importantly also from the icloud.com website.

Reminders on Catalina warns you of such version incompatibilities and the wording is telling. It's talking about "converting" something to the latest version. "Conversion" shouldn't even be a thing that users need to know about where no user controlled files are involved.

All indications are that there is a fundamental design error at the very core of iCloud's architecture. It feels like iCloud operates not as a single source of truth but as yet another device that participates in peer to peer syncing. This is a very complex architecture and they haven't been able to make it work.

So my conclusion is that iCloud which has always been exceptionally buggy has become pervasive within Apple's ecosystem. This is what has changed.
The "Embed this on your home screen" aspect is what I was interested in, I guess.

Personally I'm not really interested in routinely circumventing my mobile platform's app store, nor do I really want more clutter. Plus it seems like a lot of the sites that have the capability are just trying to push their brand in the same sort of way they did by having their own apps a few years ago - newspapers and other information sources which are just fine in the browser.
At least for greenhouses it might be simpler to require narrow-band LEDs and matching narrow-band filter glasses.
Fact: most Americans, much less Californians, don't understand the nuances between communism, socialism, and Marxism. America has been anti-socialism since at least 1919 in the era of the First Red Scare. Heck, Oklahoma was a hotbed of socialism. In most Americans' minds, little green men are trying to corrupt their childrens' precious bodily fluids with fluoride. In effect, anarcho-capitalism/libertarianism is the only politically-correct and acceptable belief system in the vast majority of Americans minds.

Yeah there's been a lot of Brexit talk in the orchid communities, it's a big problem because of how hard they are to propagate - there's only a few orchid nurseries left in the UK that can grow from seed because you need a lab setup, which is a huge shame

I've had good luck growing a few Drosera from seed, never even thought about leaf cuttings, that's super interesting!

Hopefully depending on Brexit I'll be able to order from you next Spring! Do you have a mailing list or something?
This is similar to the San Francisco Bay Bridge replacement plan. Instead of the basic designs that were floated a radical design was chose for aesthetic reasons and ended up being damaged during the tensioning process. Now an over the top design that cost at least twice what it should have is unlikely to serve its purpose of providing for earthquake safe transportation over the long term.

Municipalities really need to carefully consider the balance of aesthetics, costs, and risks.
