Its not just the lack of long form interviews, its the lack of long form in general. News is too short to be meaningful.
I just checked the word count in the top 10 stories on BBC news.

Average number of words per article was 764.

While you can get long form fewer and fewer people read it, myself included.
If a major player like the BBC resort to news in an average of 764 words the majority of people are not getting deep/insightful/challenging news or information.

In my 20s I used to read long form broadsheet articles on a Sunday, I don't seem to have the attention for it any more.
Even articles from hacker news that are too long I just go straight to the comments to get a digest.
I suspect my mobile phone addiction is to blame, even last week I signed up for blinkist after I tried to read Ray Dalios Principles for the third time and didn't have the attention for it when I saw an ad for the summary on blinkist and just signed up.

That's assuming you are making a connection between brakes and a catastrophic failure.

The fact the system safety analysis didn't call out an MCAS failure as catastrophic seems to indicate they misunderstood the system risk which is different than claiming a catastrophic failure is an acceptable risk

IMO interfacing with hardware is a decent reason to write a small TCL/python app.

As a user, I avoid Apple products as much as I can.

I never liked MacOS; Macintosh's charm, which was its UI, went away when I got my Amiga.

I also never liked the iPhone, because a) it's terribly overpriced, b) I don't want a walled garden.

I survived all these years in the raw PC market with no one holding my hand. I don't need a walled garden.

Of course, that's my strictly personal preference.

Why anyone would listen to anything with a bigot like Crowder is beyond me. If you can’t defend your conservatism without devolving into racist and homophobic slurs, you really shouldn’t be taken seriously.
supposedly the power is with "the many" and not concentrated. The current standard is that "the many" is not really everyone but at best half of them. That's something. Under different mechanisms, e.g. if offices are appointed by lot, then power can truly be "with almost everyone"

Migrating from Google Drive/One is to something like Nextcloud or a personal NAS is very easy. Just install the desktop application, mount your NAS or other cloud provides storage, and use your favorite synchronization tool to sync the data.

I’ve done this before with Nextcloud and a QNAP NAS and it couldn’t be easier. I highly recommend taking the governance of your data seriously. If you don’t you may end up losing everything without knowing it.
Taking a wild guess here - which you could have done - they probably mean they Facebook lets you expense it, rather than just lets you do it.
Out of curiosity, what about the things he did do you "hate"?
Haha sure. Anything to pacify the people.
He did apologize for that. His excuse was that he had a lot to drink and smoke. Also I think him being on good terms with the guests made him more comfortable with being an asshole
This is nothing to do with union membership: when sales are down we slow the production line (everything is just in time) and part of that is letting go people on the production line who are not needed at the slower pace of operations. They will be recalled if sales improve. You have to be union to work on the production line (that is in the contract), so there is no discouragement of membership.
He insists on guests being in studio. He did a remote with John Anthony West (controversial Egypt scholar) making an exception because he was very ill at the time.
> Enumerations

I don't see the value in defining a custom underlying type for an enum. If it's for efficiency, sure. I've never had to use enums in a heavily performance-sensitive context so I don't personally relate to that.

> The assert also leaves an opening for a runtime error which is unacceptable.

You can handle errors gracefully.

// default to 0
maybeInt, _ := myValue.(int)

maybeInt, ok := myValue.(int)
if !ok {
// do something else
}

> imagine syntax like this:

In my opinion JSON with multiple types like that is poor design.

Regardless, even with sum types the programmer has to write code for most possible states each value could be in. You have the same capability in Go with type assertions.

// Rust
match myValue {
int => ...,
string => ...,
// etc.
}

// Go
switch myValue.(type) {
case int:
...
case string:
...
// etc.
}

Then you cannot listen to many. Joe speaks so much bollox with an authoritative air that if you didn't know the subject you would think that Joe did, when many many times he clearly does not.

I agree they are interesting when he lets the guest speak (even if completely disagree with them) or it is on something Joe does know about / has researched. But that is far from all the time.

Joe also has a habit of ignoring the guest at times and carrying on down his own little conversation alley, usually when he got too stoned - which ruins the conversation IMO

I don't think negative economy of scale applies here.
Meritocracy can't help but be hated by most people, because they will be the losers. It also forces you to confront the fact that you might not actually be part of the best fraction, and that can be horribly scarring to the psyche of those who feel entitled to unearned rewards.
It's a similar (but better) reason that motorists pull into crosswalks and don't come to a complete stop at stop signs or red lights or go 5mph over the speed limit. In their mind there's very little risk to doing so.

So many people like to equate this to a motorist doing the same thing but they're so clearly wildly different.

That's true but the real business of font is not selling to any average people but to designers and companies, as part of corporate identities.

In fact, it's quite easy to download some non-free font (let's say Helvetica) and to use it on your web page. Then

- either it's a personal page and very few people will see it (and even less notice that it's the "real" Helvetica and not a free simili-Helvetica)... so there's almost no risk to be sued for copyright/stealing. You wouldn't have bought it anyway.

- or it's a professional web page (or design or...) - high traffic - then you can be sure to be sued if you use it but didn't buy it.

Same for business card: nobody will really notice if you use a stolen font on your own business card but you can be sure that everybody will sue you if your business is to print business cards and you propose fonts without licences

> drought and desertification

This is an issue, but increased atmospheric carbon and the latitude land distribution of the Earth probably means desertification will be net-negative for at least a while. (I don't have a source for this, but I recall reading that we have more trees today than ever in history?) Keep in mind, carbon is what plants eat.

> When every summer, heatwaves take a few of your neighbours you start reconsidering how nice your country is.

This is also a good point, but once again, there are also people who die from cold. I've been living in Toronto for the last year, and there are many people who die of cold in the winter every year, mainly the poor and elderly. It's not clear that global warming is net-negative at the moment for extreme temperature related deaths.

> we're going to have more than a 2°C increase in mean temperature by the end of the century, and maybe 4°C

I don't agree with this. This might be true if population+QoL growth continues and our emissions per capita stay at today's levels, but that won't happen. Like I said, we are going to fix CC by mid-century, and mean temp increase above pre-industrial levels will be less than 1.5°C by 2100 - not 4°C above today's levels.

> Because that's where they arrive

This is a different type of migration. Nobody is migrating internationally because their country is uninhabitable due to climate change, because there are no such countries today.

> About (a), you should probably read this...

Thank you, I'm aware of what's necessary to accomplish this. We are well on our way. If it wasn't for funding and regulatory limitations, I'm pretty sure we could be net-zero by 2028 just based on the technologies we have in development today.
Since the iOS 13 update, I'd had this happen almost daily:

The battery level is reported as fine and everything works like normal from 100% to about 35%. At about 35% (could be 36 or 32 or whatever any given time--I can't see that the exact percentage matters), the phone crashes to powered off state. If I try to start it up with the power button, I get the "plug this in" indicator. If I start it using the hard reset method, then it'll power back up normally, and the battery will always report as 10% at this stage. It can stay like this for a few minutes up to a couple of hours, but it'll inevitably crash again if I don't plug it in. After it crashes, I can do a hard reset again and it'll come back up and the battery will often show something percentage in the 20's. Often if I try to use any app in this cycle, that'll cause a crash. If I do plug it in after a second crash, then suddenly the battery is reporting at maybe 23% again. Like, WTF?

It only started happening since iOS 13.

I would be happy if my iphone only lost most of its battery life. :)

Robert Pirsig and His Metaphysics of Quality
Science is about developing models of reality that allow us to make better than random predictions. A model that says that unkempt hair in elderly female patients is a signal of distress is a scientific model. It is a probabilistic model based on some series of past observations. With enough pictures and medical histories, you could probably train an AI to make the prediction as well as the doctor.

This is a mistake many people make. Elasticsearch is probably overkill for your particular use case.

It’s similar to bringing a F1 car to a go-cart race and then being surprised you aren’t able to finish the race because you don’t have a pit crew able to maintain your vehicle.

I’ve built and owned large Elasticseach clusters at Fortune 50 companies for providing log search as well as document search. Like anything, administering an ES cluster requires planning, engineering, and process/documentation.

I wouldn’t consider using ES if I didn’t have a dedicated ops team to help in its administration unless possibly using a managed service like the one AWS provides.

It’s a very powerful tool; it was a mistake to think you can just casually throw it in your stack without fully understanding its complexity.

Otherwise we know what bit's will happen, but not what it means and how it fits together. But there's obvious troubling spots.

What will it mean that fruit or vegetables are no longer grown in a farm or green house but made from base materials? Meats probably 20 years for complete take over, there's no reason fruit won't happen at around the same time, why grow a tree when you can grow an avocado.

What do we do with all the recovered crop area? We have vast deserts and oceans to collect materials and energy and we can automate a simpler thing like growing slime.

Live there and farm our own food for fun? Is it fun when you can buy anything you eat and drink in the world cheap as dirt? 100 year old scotches and fine wines are falling soon (ie Lost Spirits), probably 10 - 20 years... a hundred year old bottle of whiskey has ~50 cents of materials in it. How do we find worth in 50 years?

We know what will happen along the way, but not what will follow and how things will interact. 50 years is too far.
"Quantum supremacy is the potential ability of quantum computing devices to solve problems that classical computers practically cannot." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_supremacy

IBMs responce: "We argue that an ideal simulation of the same task can be performed on a classical system in 2.5 days and with far greater fidelity. This is in fact a conservative, worst-case estimate, and we expect that with additional refinements the classical cost of the simulation can be further reduced."

Every time someone posts Web Bluetooth someone brings up security, which is fair, but I don't think it's productive to immediately dismiss it. The Chrome developers behind the spec have thought a lot about the security implications. It's not impossible to make Web Bluetooth more secure than tricking a user into installing a malicious program, which isn't exactly a complex trick right now.

In my experience the app store (Mac iOS) has been terrible also for another reason. Due to brexit we relocated from UK to another EU country. There was no way to easily change the country associated with our account, we had to request it and the first meaningful reply arrived 1 year later. This is incredibly problematic from any business perspective (accounting, legal, etc.).

Not entirely, Flatpak is not intended for the base system, only for applications. Snap is AFAIK but probably not because Canonical wants to sandbox the OS from itself.
Of course. Quantum supremacy is a claim about computational complexity. 200 seconds vs 2.5 days is 1000x slowdown. In practical terms, x^10 is even worse than 1000x (linear), but if quantum computer could be simulated in x^10, that would definitely disprove quantum supremacy.

> There is absolutely no reason to be optimistic about CO2 emissions on a global scale.
> we have to create the foundations of this development now

We are. The company I work at aims to eliminate ~60% of global emissions ourselves and provide the economic basis for the other 40%.

The only major section of global emissions that doesn't seem to have an obvious full solution is concrete production, which I'm sure we can offset with sequestration, and reduce with wood-based CLT construction.

Every other major component of emissions has a solution that is in active development right now, or already available and in the process of adoption. I think there's plenty of reason to be optimistic.
