For me, the most important game-changer is to have things set-up in advance.

I.e. I have dance-lessons on monday and wednesday evening, and there open dance-hall every sunday.

Or, I know that every tuesday and thursday there is a boardgame meetup.

Previously, when I wanted to meet my friends for a beer or coffe, I would usually start organizing something late afternoon, and realized nobody has time in the evening. Now everybody know that I am free after my dance lessons, so one less thing to argue about :)
And now today (Nov 6) there are news articles about the Tesla "Smart Summon" which was quietly activated. There are videos of dangerous near collisions of "summoned" driver-less Tesla vehicles very slowly driving among other vehicles.

Battery tech needs to improve as well for you to run a car off of fusion at a total effective cost that is cheaper than fossil fuels.
I applaud this decision by Jersey City and yet I’m about to stay in an Airbnb for 4 months beginning in January. Why? Because there’s not much other choice. People who used to offer rooms for short to medium terms to students, interns, and other non-rich business travellers have switched over to Airbnb and found they can make way more money doing it. The only places I see that are not in Airbnb are clear scams (photos literally stolen from some developer showroom site, refusing to let you see the place without a deposit) or they’re slums that target only the most desperate renters.

So I wouldn’t describe them as “happy to use Airbnb.” Airbnb is pretty bad. It’s just less bad than everything else.

This is strictly about the win32 GUI API.

There are other win32 APIs that are quite interesting:

* the networking API (native proactor servers, something that Linux doesn't have yet AFAIK)

* the security and process API, which I had the pleasure to explore recently, in order to contribute to an open source server that launches a single user server for a connected user, under the user's profile. The CreateProcessAsUser function and its interactions with user authorization tokens is quite something.

I, oddly, see a different pricing structure on that page. Full-time development Standard €55.10. This is assuming 100 active hours. "Active" being defined as "a user is connected […] via the browser-based editor". If I log in at 9AM and log out at 5PM every day for an average of 20 working days each month, I'd probably run ~€90 a month on the standard instance (and considerably more on the Premium instance). My current laptop cost around €1, 200 and I can easily provision a new one at any time using an Ansible playbook[1].

I am most definitely not the target audience of VS Online, which is perfectly fine. Someone out there needs this for it to have been built by MS.

Doing the same thing with shared libraries requires redeploying everything that is dependent on the bad library (i.e. hundreds of containers instead of two or three).

It's not necessarily that one model is better than the other just that using a hybrid approach often means having the issues of both with only a few (if any!) of the benefits.
Not that impressed with this article. It states as it might be a fact that the "right is suppressed" and "left" is "in favor". Then it never really explains why censorship might be bad or not. It doesn't get really concrete, just something vague about "marketplace of ideas".

IMO it's bad to have places where only one side is heard, the other is not. Further, there are too many places where people might feel they're a majority in their opinion, while they're not. Usually people would notice they're the odd one out. That's not the case in various places (e.g. subreddits).

Note that I'm from the Netherlands and do not agree with freedom of speech above everything is a good thing. There should be some limits to it. These reasonable limits should be in place.

Making distinctions between right/left and complaining that more of your stuff is questionable.. yeah.. so? The "left"/Democratic party I consider pretty conservative and not looking out for its people. As such, it's always strange to see the complaints, what is right/left for e.g. US to me is "right wing" vs "even more right wing".

I also do not see the restrictions; there should be way more limits on reddit/twitter/facebook. Further, I think the companies should be held responsible for this.
Throwaway account. I'm currently working on college applications, and found pretty annoying. I've been getting well over a dozen e-mails a day as well as two or three items of physical mail every day, all on colleges, all for the past three months. I've been getting a lower level of the same thing since early high school when I first took the SAT. I made national merit scholar and did well on the SAT; that's when it really picked up. None of them have really convinced me to apply (except for Vanderbilt; they put their financial aid stuff right up front). However , I did get a few useful ones. Most of them were notifying me about info sessions for the colleges. There's also a box on the SAT where you check whether or not you want this or not, though I don't remember if it's opt-in or opt-out.

Most of what I get is useless (though as national merit results get processed, I've started getting serious scholarship offers). What I don't like is that most of them are just send stuff to drive up application numbers and drive down acceptance rates, because yes, that's a thing (even though it sounds horrible, and every rejection makes a kid feel like garbage). Mail is cheap, I guess, but I wish colleges would relegate their communications to those they actually wanted.
I think people are missing the point that these cloud IDEs mean you don't need to be nearby or carry around a powerful + expensive laptop to work.

You could travel with a cheap throwaway Chromebook and know you can still get work done. If it gets stolen or lost, you can get a replacement the same day and get back to work.

I've been in situations where I've travelled to some place where I don't want to bring my expensive work laptop (e.g. want to travel light, the weather is awful, it's a sketchy area), and had my work laptop break randomly a couple of days before a big deadline where I couldn't wait for it to get repaired.
For me it’s about consistency, in order of importance:

1. self-consistency: Every entity and operation has exactly one name, a given verb always implies the same operation, paths are always constructed the same manner

2. consistency with industry norms (eg REST)

Everybody thinks they are different until proven otherwise.

This generation is risking that there won't be a next big thing, and so someone smaller but more focused comes from behind and slowly takes over while they are focusing too much energy on looking for a next big thing that never happens. A more focused organization would better look after the core business and not be disrupted by someone who does their core business just a little better.

I can't tell you which answer is right (ask me in 30 years), but I can see possibilities.
So the author wants to protect "the marketplace of ideas" from monopolies caused by a different market. However, they don't want the government to do it. They also don't seem to think it's possible for smaller companies to challenge these monopolies.

What then is the author's solution? One is never given.
I don’t think that’s the argument they’re making. I think they would concede that Google has a property right, and may at it’s discretion moderate content. However, they would argue that Google shouldn’t exercise that right because it is harmful to the culture of free speech. This is volunteerism, which is to say they should choose to hold themselves to a standard without being forced to do so.

I’m not sure how I feel about it, but I think I’ve summarized the best version of the argument.

The NTSB just released their report: https://dms.ntsb.gov/public/62500-62999/62978/629713.pdf

"If the collision cannot be avoided with the application of the maximum allowed braking,
the system is designed to provide an auditory warning to the vehicle operator while
simultaneously initiating gradual vehicle slowdown. In such circumstance, ADS would not
apply the maximum braking to only mitigate the collision."

"Certain object classifications—
other—are not assigned goals. For such objects, their currently detected location is viewed as a
static location; unless that location is directly on the path of the automated vehicle, that object is
not considered as a possible obstacle. Additionally, pedestrians outside a vicinity of a crosswalk
are also not assigned an explicit goal. However, they may be predicted a trajectory based on the
observed velocities, when continually detected as a pedestrian."
The git interface is still there... If that happens to suck compared to newer private solutions then it's just like that. What would to alternative be? Make it illegal for private companies to create more user friendly innovations?

REI's HikingProject regurgitated my content
I run a small independent trail sharing platform for hikers and backpackers, https://myhikes.org. MyHikes obviously has to compete in ranks against the big wigs like AllTrails, HikingProject, TrailLink, etc - which is impossible.

This competition has lead one 'competitor' (I say 'competitor' because I make no money), HikingProject, to publish a trail 2 weeks after I published the same one. That's fine and everything since all public trails are public and people should be able to find that information in multiple places. But, the issue I'm having is the almost verbatim regurgitation of content that they included in text on their platform here:
https://www.hikingproject.com/trail/7087026/dry-hollow-trail

Compared to my original content published and indexed 12 days prior here:
https://myhikes.org/trails/dry-hollow-trail

A lot of this content was difficult to write since I hiked the trail, internalized it, and came up with data that would be relevant to someone who needs minute details - including information that HikingProject should have known if they had any pictures for their content as well.

So the best part about this terrible rewrite of most of my content is that now they rank above me in search. Additionally, they profit off of ads and apparently whoever decided to copy and rewrite my content didn't see the "Donate" button mentioning we run off of basically nothing. No one ever reached out to me to ask if they could use any information on the site, they just read it and rewrote it terribly.

I'm posting this because this is the modern internet. The little guy gets screwed over even when they create something original. HikingProject has a better rank than MyHikes, great... but ffs, can I at least have a rank based on originality AND high quality content?
Government should regulate Facebook, Google (Youtube), Twitter, etc. as utilities that they are. The current situation where the corporations aren't responsible for the content but can censor it is the best example of why they should be treated as utilities.
New York City adopts ranked-choice voting, a major milestone for the reform
As I pointed out to the authors, this wheel has turned a couple of times. In the late 90s, many distributed filesystems (and most cluster filesystems) used raw disks and their own format. This was a burden, both for the developers who had to maintain an entire low-level I/O stack in addition to the distributed parts and to the users who had to learn new tools to deal with these "alien" disks in their system (which also limited deployment flexibility). Thus, when the current crop - e.g. Ceph, Gluster, PVFS2 - came around, they went toward a more local-FS-based approach. All of the issues mentioned in the paper were still real, but on the hardware of the time (both disks and networks) those weren't the bottlenecks anyway so the convenience was worth it. Now the tradeoffs have shifted again, and so have the solutions.

Context: I've been an originator/maintainer for multiple projects in this space, and currently work on a storage system where we add space in bigger increments than Ceph's entire worldwide installed base (according to numbers in the paper).
With a disabled emergency braking system and an inability to handle a rather common situations like people jaywalking, these cars really shouldn't have been driving in public. That is the kind of stuff that I'd expect to be tested and implemented on private grounds.

Additionally, reducing the number of people in the car to one when the car is pretty much by design not capable of handling emergency situations by itself is quite reckless.
The first thing to do would be look up the Scientific Discussion or Monograph as filed with the FDA for the brand name product. With the details obtained from there, you'd know what to test for.

The first steps would be assay and impurity tests for the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). If you bought tablets you'd probably want to do dissolution as well.

If everything looked fine after that, I'd still be concerned about uniformity. If you just performed dissolution on half a dozen tablets, how do you know all the tablets are the same from the whole supply?

Next question is then stability. What happens to the API over an extended time period? Does it deteriorate due to climate or poor storage conditions?

The main issue is quality control. Even an approved generic has to file with the FDA (or equivalent of wherever you are) concerning processes, batch sizes, critical quality attributes etc.

The average volumetric thermal energy density of the sun is a red herring. The vast majority of the mass of the Sun isn't fusing at any given moment; most of the gas contributes only by applying gravitational pressure, a conspicuously inefficient method for achieving fusion pressures, volumetrically speaking - particularly when the gas in question is hydrogen, the lightest element that can exist.
I think it's fine for private companies to innovate. I think it's also important for us, as developers, to understand when those innovations might carry risks to our interests in the long-term, and weight that into our decision making as far as how we build software.
