IMO both language types offer shared state and immutable data structures so I don't see them as mutually exclusive. As the Rust guys I've heard say "sharing state and mutation are fine, just not together". It's a question of whether the problem your trying to solve is better as a highly mutable one with "sharing" (e.g I'm thinking system programming with contended system resources) or you want to share data across many threads simultaneously and are happy with slower single threaded performance for greater multi threaded throughput (writes are rare so sharing and locking on an atomic ref on occasion is OK so you want structural sharing of data). Rust helps the coder avoid the issues when coding in the traditional "sharing and mutation" paradigm especially without a GC; languages like F# have some modern things to do this like atomic refs for data sharing, flagging mutables, async lock types, support for imperative programming etc. Both approaches work and IMO suit different kinds of problems; good to have both available.

Sears shut down the mail order operation in 1993. I don’t think Lambert had anything to do with that.

It’s not clear to me he’s actually been making money off the fiasco either. Wikipedia: “ In March 2012, Lampert was No. 367 on the Forbes world wealthiest people list with a net worth of $3.1 billion.[12] By August, 2016, Lampert had fallen to No. 810 on the list, with a net worth of $2.2 billion.[1]”

Maybe he would have been better off selling off sears for parts and putting the cash in an index fund...
I can't speak for all modern C++ code bases but this assertion is manifestly false in every modern C++ code base I have come in contact with for a long time now. There have been some gross exploits in publicly audited "safe" Rust code in recent months -- does this mean no one should use Rust? Are you going to make a hobby of denouncing Rust in public forums as a consequence?

I don't understand the desperate need to paint all modern C++ code bases as dangerously unsafe. It is demonstrably not true and doesn't reflect well on the motivations of those that would blindly assert it. Modern C++ has many issues and, like all programming languages, is the scene of many bugs. Just not memory safety issues. Furiously asserting that memory safety is an issue does not manufacture fact.
This. The man knows how the game is played.

His goal is to make money, not make the world a better place. This goes for every company, some just stay in sheeps clothing longer than others depending on how much power they have.

The thing is in this case I'm building this thing from scratch on my own, so literally without interruptions or meetings of any kind, and all the code, architecture, devops, everything is exactly how I want it, and the estimate is still wildly wrong :-)
How is post-2000 Disney better? Their movies are literally ads for their toys that you pay money to watch. Their toys are ads for their games. And their games are basically crack cocaine for kids.
In my management experience, I've spent much more time dealing with people's stupid, childish bullshit than doing "real" work.
Apple's strategy seems to just give their service away for the next year or two (to anyone who buys an iPhone) and hope a few million people like their first-party shows. $5/month for the family (well, max. 6 people) is also not a hard thing to push for the iPhone demographic.
Yes but you will need 2 years of classes and projects to actually make a living at it. It's not easy money and you really have to enjoy it to make it a career. I recommend taking some YouTube courses then if you like it, maybe a paid curriculum. Just don't fall into the trap that it's easy.

A lot more professions use AutoCAD than just Architects. Mechanical Engineers, Structural Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Aerospace Engineers, etc.
Not a stupid question at all. I use an assortment of accessibility tools. I can still read visually thanks to my absurdly large screen and equally absurdly large text in inverted colors. I can also hear (low-resolution sound quality) through a cochlear implant, so i use VoiceOver to navigate. To read more long-form text such as books, articles, etc. I use a refreshable Braille display.

Basically, I use a bit of everything because no one accessibility tool meets all of my needs. Better than nothing, I guess.

I should clarify something about deafblindness. Very, very rarely is a deafblind person totally deaf and blind. Usually they have some residual hearing or sight, and I fall into that camp.

Hope that answers your question!

I too would love to look into this. I spent a bit of time researching Kaliedoscope and Plex, It seems like a lot of work to initially setup, but once done having the ability to download torrents automatically or with a text sounds amazing.

The harder part would be convincing my girlfriend and roommate to ditch cable... We have the option to get gigabit internet but I was outvoted on the switch. Gotta fork over money to Comcast because they don't mind the ads.
La Joconde has been at the Louvre since 1797. Since 1878, it has been displayed in the Salle des États - a room originally used by Napoleon III for legislative sessions. As you mention, the room hosts many Venetian works, and has been recently renovated to complement the paintings it showcases. For instance, the walls were painted a deep Prussian blue to contrast with the golden frames and highlight the vivid pigments typical of these works.

This legacy and continuity matter to the curators and art historians who maintain the museum.

As part of the renovations, the flow of the room was redesigned to accommodate for the fact that visitors spend more time in front of the Joconde (curators mention that a visitor spends on average 50 seconds looking at La Joconde, versus 4 seconds for other paintings).
It’s really funny how insistent the Fed is on it not being QE so they don’t scare anyone.

“Powell has been adamant in pointing out that the T-bill purchases, though aimed at expanding the Fed's balance sheet and, correspondingly, bank reserves, this should not be confused with the quantitative easing that occurred during and after the financial crisis.“

Hmm, when fuel is around 5% of your total ticket cost, something says that there are much more inefficiencies to solve than just the flight itself.

Being forced into security theatre, not allowed your drink or food, forced to overpay in airport... Smells a lot like how housing market is regulated by councils or NY trains having higher carbon emission than Prius due to admin costs...

Most of stewardess could be replaced with a vending machine. Bunk beds made using compliant mechanisms. Tax charge passengers by weight, not by height.

Here's something even more ambitious - it's really bizarre that airlines buy airplanes and then decide to skimp on maintenance. They should really be leasing them from manufacturer who does all the maintenance. Same with pilots, but perhaps they could be airport staff (especially crew). Airline should only focus on ticketing and routing (similar to how energy and telco markets are "deregulated" in some countries).
Thanks for this. Yeah you're right - it's that thing of when you are so focused on something for ages, lots of things about it seem obvious to you that aren't necessarily at all to other people coming in cold. This is useful feedback.
Some other random feedback: the short phrase makes me think that I should parse instead of validating. Might I suggest: "Don't just validate: parse"?

I do think this idea is actually pretty good. However I don't see a way this will gather the necessary hockey stick growth for typical startup gains that garners this much investment.

But, I've been wrong plenty of times before...
Oh please get off your pretentious moral high horse. People can actually enjoy products and things you don’t like or agree with. Even more astonishing is their point of view could be just as valid as yours.

Land use of solar prevents it ever getting really cheap. According to the UK solar power portal [1]: "If solar covered one percent of the UK it would meet the country’s entire power demand".

> just build twice as much solar capacity

This would increase the land use from 1% to 2%. That's a huge amount of the country to give over to power production.

i've never seen that, but even if he said it, that quote is not even in the same ballpark.

the 8088 had a one megabyte address space, more or less. when the original architects were deciding how to allocate that space to ram, rom, peripherals, etc, it made sense to talk about where to put the dividing line, to say how much of it goes to ram. that's a small-scale technical-decision-type quote, whereas the one that gets repeated over and over and over and over again, erroneously, seems designed to show that gates was dangerously short-sighted about the future of computing.

gates has a lot of faults, but that's not one of them.

Basically for every category of what Sears sells there are better options:

1. Hardware and home renovation stuff? Lowe's or Home Depot

2. Appliances? Best Buy

3. Auto? Honestly I think the auto category was the one that was "decent" the longest, but now I'd go anywhere else.

4. "Softer Side of Sears" stuff? Target

No worries, I've experienced more than a few gold recommendations from folks that have otherwise showed poor judgment, so I've always been suspicious.

Dalio has so far made sense to me, but man... trying to figure out how to dip into gold as a run-of-the-mill investor is not easy, at least not through Fidelity. It's either high fees or buying into gold mining stocks which doesn't seem quite right.

So, in the absence of going full-time into the investor rabbit hole, I'm guessing I'll be in the same boat as everyone else, trying to keep my stock/bonds allocation model rebalanced every few months as it theoretically all goes through the floor together. :-/
You're right, I had it confused with my good old 540c. I looked at the 17 inch one's corpse, and it had one removable battery on the bottom, so it must not have been the unibody.

The thing I loved about the 540c was being able to swap in either a disk drive, a cdrom, or another battery into either of the two bays. And there was even a PowerPC upgrade for the 68k ones, that made them useful for several more years!
Maybe instead of 24*7 work, some manager thought it was 24/7 work, and sent everyone home.
Startup equity structures are financial vehicles aimed at transferring the wealth generated from the labor of the employees to the founders and investors.
There's a story this week in the Los Angeles Times detailing the struggles of assistants in the entertainment industry where a lot of professionals got their start, mirroring the strike in the fictional Hollywoo of Bojack Horseman's latest half season, somehow the streaming wars are pointed at for causing worse working conditions/prolonging time as assistant. "Shorter seasons, longer hiatuses and the increase in limited series have greatly impacted residuals and opportunities while introducing more financial insecurity."

> If you decide to use BrowserFS in a project that leads to a publication, please cite the academic papers on Doppio and Browsix

I empathize with their desire for more citations, but this rubs me the wrong way. Either they don't trust authors to cite sources appropriately, or they are asking authors to create inappropriate citations. I suggest trusting authors to cite appropriately.

Moreover, using a system isn't the same as building on work from a paper. If one needs to add a reference for a system, it may be more useful to cite a more up-to-date reference for the system rather than the original paper where it was proposed.
Galileo has like a dozen different signals and I believe that most of them aren't broadcasting yet. I'm not sure which of those signals is supposed to give 1cm accuracy, but it could be one of the encrypted signals. Another consideration is that the 1cm accuracy would only be possible with fancy DGPS or RTK setups. 1cm accuracy is doable with GPS today, but unless you're a farmer or land surveyor you probably don't own any hardware capable of realizing that accuracy.
I pirate everything out of principal. I used to pay for HBO because, you know, they had good content and weren't completely fucking evil. But then they sold to Ma Bell ️
Not sure I agree. I have Netflix, but I even torrent their shows so I can watch if my internet craps out.

There are also numerous annoyances, such as shows split across multiple services, lots of exclusive shows, and of course a lot of older films can be hard to find on streaming services.

Gabe Newell was right, pirating is a service problem.

I pay for content, but I find is desirable to supplement it with the occasional torrent.
As a leftist, I do concede anti-nuclear was a 60s new left thing that then went mainstream. It may not still be a leftist position today, but it was then.

Also, it does fall squarely on one side of the industrialist side of the industrialist-populist divide of the right.

Most of us outside of entertainment business don't know this but Disney had been taking huge dissing from media as well as academics for princess movies. They have started change their ways and recent slew of movies like Moana focuses far less on being pretty and waiting for price to arrive putting female character as a confident leader. But you have to be very careful in chosing Disney content. As I said, ultimately entertainment company's goal is to hook you up with crack cocain, not your long term well being.
Yeah the goal is to extract the most cash/value/assets as possible, the delays benefit that for the value extractors.

Leveraged buyouts are designed to slow bleed for this reason, bring down the cost both in growth prospects diminishing slowly and wearing resistance out so people sell low.

Walgreens is entering one right now or soon if not now, they are a target of private equity.[1] It won't end well for consumers or employees or public market holders, just the value extractors, they will cash in while they cash out Walgreens.

> Walgreens Boots Alliance shares surged Wednesday amid speculation that the U.S.-listed drugstore group has been considering a $70 billion take-private deal.

> If private equity can pull it off, it would be the biggest leveraged buyout ever, dwarfing the $45 billion transaction in which energy group TXU was taken private in 2007, just a year before the financial crisis rocked global markets and prompted unprecedented intervention by global central banks.

If you have an appreciable amount of assets (>$10m) you'd put some amount in a special Tail Event Protection fund who know what they are doing and will invest in a combination of volatility linked derivatives, risk-off assets (short dated bonds, precious metals, rates, etc...) and dynamic equity shorting strategies. They will do so with some amount of finesse, as many of the most effective tail hedge strategies cost a lot of money to fund. Unless you do the analysis yourself, which is anything but trivial, it is extremely unlikely that you'll do a good job at judging where the tradeoff should be.

If you have less, generally the best advice is to do nothing and weather it out, because the truth of the matter is that practically nobody can time the market, not even on the horizon of years and any attempts to do so will cost you more than doing nothing would have.

There is no silver bullet unfortunately. Think of it like this, if there was a cheap and easily accessible protection against crashes, people would pile into it and make it ineffective or expensive. Which is exactly what happens.
I've been disappointed with all of that too. The only EV in any quantity here is the Nissan Leaf, used from Japan with reduced battery capacity/life.

Where I live I can't ride my bicycle to work without taking a risk higher than I'm willing to take, riding on a road without shoulders alongside milk trucks.

I looked into converting one hectare into native forest to get $4000 from the government. The cost is $20,000, and requires supervision by council and a "management plan". I became disheartened and decided to just shove poplar and willow branches in the ground and let it go wild. Government pays me $0 for taking that farmland off the market.

There are a lot of basic practical things that are holding people back who want to lower their carbon footprint, things that don't need any new innovations but just need to get done.
To reiterate and clarify the point from my original comment, you need to ask why and to what effect spending is done. The population of the US is much older and much unhealthier today than it was in 1970 and healthcare is more expensive. So increased spending on healthcare doesn't necessarily prove an increase in commitment to serve the people and can instead simply be a result of rising costs.

Also that Wikipedia link you included conveniently doesn't start until the very late 70s just after the top rate saw a huge drop from the levels established in the post-depression era.

Lastly you need to factor in growing income inequality in these numbers. It is possible for the top tax bracket to collectively pay both a higher share of taxes in both percentage and absolute dollars while each individual person in that tax bracket sees their tax rate decrease.
I am inclined to agree, for philosophical ponderings of cave art we have much better[1] options[2]. Of course, it's no surprise that rock art is a topic that people can't help but write about, for 40,000 years our ancestors invested significant effort into producing it.

Yes, there are adaptors like that, and my dad uses them. Unfortunately he has to keep removing it to plug in other USB-C devices (e.g. USB-C to HDMI) in the port next to it, because it's so wide that it blocks the neighbouring port.
Hi Kiwi! It is par for the course here in USA :)
Glad to hear its better there...now let me immigrate without million dollar investments, heh!
I would expect the biggest one to be the opportunity cost of what you could have done instead with that electricity besides make fuel.

For instance, if, say, converting natural gas heating to electric is a better use of energy in terms of reducing greenhouse gasses, then maybe we should do that first.

In the end, a lot of these sorts of proposals depend on cheap renewable energy, and if we can get enough solar and wind power installed then other goals become feasible. Fuel production is an interesting case because you can use surplus energy at times of low demand.
Said executive(not Travis) didn't publicly call her a liar. He proposed a theory in private and so that they could do some fact checking. That's called not being played for a fool

There is a third option, which you have not considered - tariffs on non-conforming importers.

Canada operates this exact way with dairy licenses, and last time I dropped by, it wasn't an Orwellian nightmare. It's got a bit of a cronyism problem, but I've yet to see a country that doesn't.
The planes themselves are also pretty expensive. New Boeing 737 costs $120M. Maintenance also costs money. You need to recover all these costs too.
I have used a 128GB Macbook Pro for almost two years and only when I go nuts with Docker images do I approach my limit. My projects and saved content (books and images) are fine on an external drive and if I ever need one of my projects when I don’t have my external drive I can just clone the repo. Everything that you value needs to follow the 3-2-1 rule so anything that is even vaguely important can be retrieved from a cloud backup. I guess if I did not have network access it could be problematic but I have yet to be in such a scenario.

Of course it would be nice for Apple to lay off the price gouging but it by no means makes the device useless. I also reinstall my OS frequently and organize my data very deliberately so that takes away a lot of the decision-making that people try to avoid when using one big hard disk. I really only want MacOS and my applications on the device.
