Ownership/affine typing does allow modelling that, within a single program.

For instance, the type representing a handle to the external resource can have limited constructors and limited operations, that will enforce single threaded mutations or access (including things like "this object can only be destroyed by the thread that created it").

Why do the US regulations specify the method and not the result? That seems bizarre.

Here in the UK, most earth connections are provided by the power company, but in rural areas you may be too far from the substation, so a ground rod is permitted - as long as it provides an earth loop impedance (Z) of less than 200 Ohm.

So if you want to provide your own earth, you have to keep driving ground rods deeper, or adding new ones until the "Zeds" are good enough.

It looks like the US regulations permit you to bang an "8 foot" rod into dry sand, and walk away as though that's job done??

There is quite a bit more refinery costs. But it's not just the cost to produce it, it's the fact that producing California has requires special plant configurations.

> On top of this, comes the inescapable elephant that is Brexit. This may only be one of the factors affecting Wrightbus, but it is arguably the crippling final blow. Wrightbus is a Northern Ireland based supplier, dependent on parts and orders from the EU and beyond, a strong UK economy, and a stable period of national and local government. All of those pillars have been cracked by Brexit.

None of those things have changed, or been changed by Brexit in this timeframe.

And this is why mathematical statistics and probability theory should be taught in middle school (may be instead of some trigonometry and stereonometry).

A poll of your friends may not constitute adequate data for making such decisions. We know for sure that techie-people and friends-of-techie-people are qualitatively different to the mass market.

These tradeoffs may also be different for different browsers. E.g. if you're Apple, perhaps breaking Web sites isn't a big deal since on iOS Safari is entrenched by fiat, and if users switch from Web apps to native apps, so much the better for Apple. For Mozilla that calculation works out differently.

Generally speaking "site X breaks in Firefox, works in Chrome" is a good way for Mozilla to lose market share.

In the conclusion the author says "It may not replace an IDE if you’re coding in Java or C++, especially if you’re using Frameworks and auto-complete is helping you."

You don't have to make that choice and can have "the best of both worlds": For the last few years I've not been using Vim itself, but Vim bindings in VSCode and Intellj. I enjoy the trade-off of this this approach because it

- is trivial to set up (in stark contrast to configuring a untouched Vim/Nvim install from the ground up)

- gives me simple access to powerful extensions

- allows me to use modern editor/IDE features (find usage, refactor) without forgoing "the essence of Vim", rapid code editing through the combination of motions & commands

New grades are introduced all the time e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Certificate_of_Seconda...

> In 1994, the A* grade was added above the grade A, to further differentiate attainment at the very highest end of the qualification. This remained the highest grade available until 2017.

The grades are now 1-9, with 9 being the highest and above A*.

In this particular case, I think it certainly is within a University's remit to award a special grade given the exceptional circumstances.

Sterling has fallen because of Brexit. This increases the cost of importing parts, etc. from foreign suppliers.

Brexit was also expected to have already occurred so customers may have taken a cautious approach regarding orders that may have spanned Brexit occurring.

I guess there is also the issue of maintenance and sourcing parts from them during the life-time of the busses.

It is not unreasonable to accept that Brexit may have caused customers to conclude that it was safer to pick other suppliers for the time being.

Maybe you just find the idea of being curious about the subject cool.

So maybe the author is not curious as an artist, but curious as an art critique.

The Catalyst documentation for running iPadOS apps on a Mac is actually the worst offender. It's garbage, and unusable. Anyone who has built a Catalyst app has effectively had to reverse engineer significant parts of the APIs. God only knows if some of them are supposed to be private, and if Apple will suddenly decide they are and reject apps from the store for it.

I don't think there's a deliberate conspiracy here. All this stuff is launching two years before it's ready, and subject to a huge internal war at Apple - it's fairly clear a chunk of the MacOS team doesn't want to do Catalyst fearing it's the death of the Mac, even if the management do.

The answer lies in understanding the Utility of the Novelty Seeker to a Group.

If groups don't need it, expect novelty seeking to be snuffed out and fast. Don't complain about it just go look for a group that needs you.

Not everyone is a novelty seeker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_seeking

Small populations don't need too many novelty seekers. If everyone in a village is curious about Tigers, sooner or later everyone in the village would be dead. As populations grow the number of Novelty seekers increase and sooner or later the village has knowledge of how to tame the Tiger.

In terms of groups or teams that work on problems that have known solutions, having Novelty seekers around can be a big distraction/waste of time and energy as they goof off and wander.

But for teams working on problems unknown, Novelty seekers are a must have. Nothing is guaranteed when working on unknowns, but the team will learn more/make progress with a Novelty Seeker around than without.

While sites like HN attract Novelty Seekers from all over and there is some spillover into startups (many working on problems with unknowns) this process of matching Novelty seekers to groups that need them has WAYS to go.

We do it in very inefficient ways and lacking awareness. Sometimes we misidentify them (lot of people pretend to be novelty seekers cause it gets them on teams) OR Novelty seekers are put in charge OR they want to be in charge Or we think we need a Novelty seeker on staff 24x7 when actually we just need them to come in and take a look at a specific problem once a week or once a month. These mistakes can be avoided if you know the role the Novelty Seeker plays in society and what problems they are needed for.

Not viable. Not for the next couple decades. The reason is not that the Chinese are not able to build an airworthy plane in a few years time. The main problem will be the service offerings to an international clientele. Let's just say that China's pencheant for cutting corners is not conductive to trust into their service offerings, including the provision of critical spare parts.

This is the worst possible interpretation of OP's venture, and must be written by a 12 year old if $1900 is "stupid money"

Edit: I'm not saying that $1900 is not a significant amount of money to many people in the world. But it is NOT a lot of money in the context of developing/marketing a tech product in the first world.
I respect anyone who is able to accept the sunk cost and walk away after doing the correct analysis.

My startup is still preseed and I have a few angel investors. When I pitched I had done some research but didn't truly understand the market. Basically the industry I'm is massively fragmented, and each segment has very different access requirements.

There's still money to be made, but not the sort of money that attracts VC and no express rainbow to a pot of gold. I would have done things very differently had I known what I know now, but a revenue generating business that could break even in a couple years is a pretty hard sunk cost to swallow.

Something I missed in this great writeup was the Datapoint 2200 terminal (the ancestor of the 8008 MPU), announced in 1970 and introduced in 1971. It originated from an idea about a replacement for the 029 key punch (intended to replicate the prior success of CTC's Datapoint 3300 terminal as a drop-in replacement for the ASR 33 TeleType.) From this initial idea the Datapoint 2200 directly inherited the 80 x 12 layout of the Hollerith punch card. (That this fitted quite perfectly into 1K, certainly didn't hurt and may have been an incentive for keeping the dimensions of the initial project. Reportedly, the narrow built height resulting from the narrow 12-lines screen was generally liked by users.)

I too found the book extremely helpful and informative. A therapist I know recommended a companion book by Peter Levine called Healing Trauma (ISBN: 9781591796589), also available on YT as an audio book. It uses mental imagery as a way of relieving the symptons of trauma without having to relive the actual event(s). Although some of the imagery exercises are sometimes brutal/exhausting it seems the basic under laying theory of the book is using a form of exposure therapy reduces the impacts of flashbacks to the point of ripples in a stream of consciousness rather than the usual roaring tidal wave. YMMV.
The trick is to make a list of all the ways it could fail and test these first. Have two personas, one that assumes it will fail and one that is enthusiast. Set the tasks priorities so the enthusiast one starts coding tasks that disproves the failure hypotheses of the skeptical one. If you can't get past one, don't switch to the "easier" stuff. Put the project in "hibernation" mode and switch to another one until you get another insight, usually from reading a totally unrelated thing, that will unblock you.
