> If an article whose message is basically "Toxic particles are everywhere, unavoidable, pragmatically undetectable, and they're killing you" isn't fear mongering, then I don't know what is.

The article is proposing a very clear solution:

"The solution for NOx and nanoparticles are also the same: replacing combustion with electrification. Electric cars still kick up road dust, but they emit no combustion-derived nanoparticles or NOx; and while power stations are needed to take the electricity, we spend far more time standing by roads than we do standing by power station chimneys (although this is all the more reason to rapidly move to 100% renewable energy)."

>Boeing instructed pilots to deal with excessive downward pitching

That is my favorite newspeak so far.
This [0] is how.

Yes. That's orthogonal to whether or not the manual defeciency should have stopped pilots from following the checklist they should have down to rote memory.

(Hint: it shouldn't.)
Fair point. Let's say, "Sure to be wasteful compared with a decision that takes everything into account." Or, more simply, "Sure to be more wasteful." Although for the people who experience the negative exernalities, by their account it will always be wasteful, in that they only experience costs, not gains.
I played it when it first came out, then after the Atlas Rises update, and now the most recent one. I much, much prefer the original version. While it wasn't what most people expected or wanted out of the game, the environments were much more beautiful and less regular, and there was this overwhelming sense of loneliness about it that was enrapturing. It gave me the same vibes that MirrorMoon EP and Proteus gave me. Peaceful solitude.

Unfortunately that's all lost now, since you can't select specific updates on the PS4 system.

Texas is about to execute a man who was convicted on DNA evidence[1].

His crime? Having an affair with a cop's wife. His DNA was found in the victim's body.

There is sworn testimony that the husband confessed to the murder of his own wife.

I'd hate to have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, or to have left garbage somewhere a crime was committed, or to have had sex with someone who later has a crime committed against them.

I'm not an apologist for Boeing and that's a mischaracterization of what I'm saying (and I'd argue Walter as well.)

Neat dissertation topic! I've used code golf for this very thing. It really forces you to learn the weird nooks and crannies of a language, and try lots of different strategies.
That's not correct. The collateral is usually shared among all tranches. You could have MBS deals w/ tranches backed by separate collateral pools but these are defined at origination. It's not that different tranches are backed by different subsets of the collateral. The cash received from all mortgages is pooled and then prioritized based on tranche seniority and other rules specific to the securitization.
I am also looking for advisors - those who can advise me on what features to build out first. Previous experience with Flash desirable but not necessary. Thanks.
+1, Kudos to the view. I also believe the support matters. There are many overqualified students who cannot skip grades because of the system, Most probably students graduates at the average age of 22-23 and then PHD and research may well take 6-7 years if not skipped, meanwhile the presence of good mentor is also a luck.

You called it fearmongering and said the content is questionable.

Maybe you used the wrong word, but fearmongering means a thing is not true or not worth concerning ourselves with as it is groundless.
You seem to confuse pay with "best place". Principal at Microsoft can make way more though (not working there, but know from Partner level folks there) - it's a very wide range, spawning 3 job levels.
It's odd because this article really doesn't have much to do with government.

Currently there is not much in the way of government regulation that makes Facebook or Google dominant. And in the case of the opioids crisis it's actually a lack of oversight and regulation.
> I follow a lot of prominent people in Rust and all they tweet about is intricacies of the language and new features/libraries. I'm not sure these people are even building anything, they seem to be "snacking" on the language only.

This is obviously false. How do you square that with all the Rust code we've shipped in Firefox, for example? I build things in Rust every day.
I believe that it was actually the kid that ran into the robot. But I can't find any followup articles about the incident, only initial reports.
I'm not able to speak authoritatively on this subject (after who the heck am I? I'm creative in spurts but have no deep insight on the process), but as an observer of human nature, engineers do seem especially weak at divergent thinking -- they can't help obsessing over how something might fail almost as soon as as they hear an idea.

This is a blocker. One of the ways to unblock this, I'm told, is the "improv" mantra of "yes, and" -- meaning, if someone states an idea, instead of saying "yes, but", you say "yes, and" and build upon it. For instance, someone says "I'm a unicorn fireman", you say, "yes, and your horn is a nozzle for a high-pressure hose". And you keep building.

For years I could never quite figure out how this applied to engineering problems so I thought "yes, and" was mostly stupid and unworkable (except in the arts) -- because what if the other person's wrong? How do I "yes, and" someone who says "the earth is flat"?

But one of Paul Graham's tweets helped me reframe this in a way that is palatable to even engineer-types. He says (paraphrased):

"Problem solving is 2 phase approach: (1) idea generation / mistake making, and then (2) aggressively fixing those mistakes / editing. We often shortcut the process by editing too soon."

In other words: engineers are only good at "yes, but" (convergent thinking phase) and prematurely shut down the "yes, and" (divergent thinking phase). So how about we treat thinking as a two-phase problem and give divergent thinking some room? We can still apply pragmatism/practicality ... but later, after we've "yes, and"ed.

Alls we're saying is, give "yes, and" a chance.

For me, CSS has been a Solved Problem™ for 5 years now.

If a website is small then I write plain HTML/CSS/JS in the old school way and all of these abstractions/systems are YAGNI.

If a website is large enough for these abstractions to matter then I'm using React with inline CSS. I get reusability and composition without a noticeable performance tradeoff. You can still build your components to decouple style from content where needed. Up to you.

Years later, no issues.
That's something I also worry a bit about. They do have Google Takeout, and I recently used that to download the 120GB-ish worth of stuff I've got in there, and it worked very well. I guess I should set up a job to back that up to B2?
Exactly. It's like we're the captain of the ship calling orders from the bridge.
Sorry, my phrasing was terrible, as usual. I know the emulated performance is terrible. My query is about native ARM desktop workloads vs native x86 desktop workloads (if Microsoft's vision comes to fruition) in terms of power consumption. I really can't imagine they'd be different, but I don't know enough about it other than "tech press" comparing phone battery lives to laptops.
> I expect the next level of utility-first CSS will do away with the CSS file altogether, and start baking the resulting styles directly into the HTML

It's not exactly the same thing, but Atomizer [0] generates a CSS file from HTML, by translating class names into functional CSS rules.

The problem with inline CSS is that it has some limitations, notably lack of support for selectors like :hover, :focus, etc, and pseudo-classes like :before and :after.

What benift does that distinction give you? If the cluster scales to be able to run all of your pending pods, and scales down when you have extra room, and you scale your pods correctly (preemptively & with custom metrics), what do you gain?
That's true, but I'm not sure it's analogous. In sounds like in the study, by "hard parts" they meant the parts that were hard for the students. So it's relative. There were no universal "hard parts" that were actually easy for some.
That’s the thing. I am a long time BSD fan, grew up with it an even tan FreeBSD on the desktop for years. But then came the cloud, docker, kubernetes, and the whole shebang, and it simply does not make sense to even consider hosting applications on FreeBSD again if you are deploying a modern stack.

Yes, of course, there are ways around that, but it just doesn’t make economical sense for most organizations.
Let's just drop the last two paragraphs in right here, so no one needs to go "it's an ad title, and a question, so it's almost guaranteed a no":

"Tapestry is complicated to assess. I'm certain its ideas are clever, even innovative, and it effectively reduces the civilization formula. But that word carries a double meaning. The game is reduced to essentials—a point-chaser that rewards both careful planning and outright chance. But it is also reduced to its bones, stripping away the interactions and narrative that make a two-hour civ-game such a holy grail among board gamers.

The game is divisive, then, and likely to stay that way. I’m glad Stegmaier tried to take the civilization game beyond its comfort zone. Experiments are worthwhile, even when their results are imperfect, and this may be right for you. But when it comes to the reasons I play board games—the interactions between players, the narratives that arise from play, the thematic statements—this Tapestry is bare of the threads I value most"
What's up with the throwaways? You and the gp aren't even saying anything that controversial.
This brought all my thoughts on the absurdity of the debt system out in a clear and understandable light. Thank you for expressing what I could not put into words. I wish I had sockpuppets to upvote you extra.
The docker 0% thing is misleading. There's literally nothing stopping you from building a full OS in a container. I've built containers that you could SSH into and never know you were in a container. Docker folks push the single process thing hard but it's not the only way and most people who deal with a lot of containers know that.

I'm interested in jails because I have a BSD need, so this is timely but starting with misinformation puts off.

Your comment looks like it's getting downvotes but the idea seems worth considering. I almost never hear corporate personhood brought up in good faith, it's usually just a rhetorical device these days, but it's worth remembering that the general idea behind it is that Corporations are just organized groups of people and therefore they should (should in the view of the relevant laws) not lose protections (compared to the individuals that comprise the group) simply for acting in a coordinated fashion.
Oh, I was just playing with the new Blender 2.8, I liked the UI, so spun up a version of the toolbox entirely for fun, in Qt, :)
As I understand HEPA filters usually remove particles down to about 20nm, which will capture a good chunk, PM2.5 is 2500nm so far smaller than that. Although it may well be that the very small particles are most able to penetrate our biological barriers, and are therefore the most dangerous. This is an active area of research and I think still not fully understood.
Wow, nice to hear that you are using KDE, :)
Software development is more like manufacturing engineering. Auto repair is probably closer to working an operations ticket, only without all of the fancy telemetry and diagnostic tools, and a lot more bloody knuckles.
Really? For loops are a nightmare. Here's one from SPEC 2006:

for (dd=d[k=0]; k<16; dd=d[++k])
{
satd += (dd < 0 ? -dd : dd);
}

The problem with for loops is that they are too flexible, and so there's more opportunity for misuse. Iterator functions are less flexible, and therefore easier to read.

And this excessive flexibility doesn't even make simple things simple. Try counting down from N to 0 inclusive using unsigned ints.
Lots of great advice here. Just wanted to add that, for me at least, I’m way more creative when I’m on a team than I am by myself. So maybe think about what contexts you thrive in.
Let's say I want to build a cross-platform app. I could use Electron (it's somewhat of a known quantity), or I could start doing some research into what else is available, and then evaluate the various offerings - not only to ensure they do what I need, but to also ensure that they use less power/resources than Electron. The effort here is (at least some kind of) unavoidable up-front cost/time.

To switch existing code to use some particular UTF-8 decoding library should be as simple as changing some imports, and perhaps some other (search/replace) code tweaks or implementing a quick shim/adapter. If it doesn't work out, rollback or abandon the branch. On most codebases, even larger ones, this whole process is probably an easier thing to do, requiring less effort than finding a decent (and more power efficient) alternative to Electron — seems to be the GP's gist. And personally I'd agree.

Yes, the "Classic" style in XP looks somewhat closer to Windows 98, or the original Windows NT builds. Weirdly, there's a Wikipedia article which covers the available themes, and it has good examples of each:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_visual_styles

Personally I liked most of these visual themes, but that may be biased by how snappy and responsive the UI felt compared to later entries, especially Vista, which introduces the translucent windows thing that Microsoft has kept moving forward. I know my GPU can do those effects in its sleep now, but when it first launched it was painfully slow on normal-people computers lacking the requisite graphics acceleration. That combined with Vista's initially poor Superfetch implementation (constant hard drive activity and weird pauses) and the whole modern themes thing just left a bad taste.

Ignoring Windows specific things, I'm personally fond of a UI that is easy to scan, tells me what I need to know, and gets out of the way. Electron apps that do this well don't bother me, I don't need the whole OS to agree, but I do wish that application designers choosing to ignore the system themes would at least implement a dark theme.
If it so simple why are the developer ergonomics so bad, if err != nil is a mess (Elixir has a with clause that would be useful), everything points to github master and module management is still extremely basic. The error messages are absolutely atrocious compared with something like elm or even python or Typescript, the type safety is a lie fairly often and you can still write programs which crash due to that. Then there are go channels which are kind of cool until you realise they can very easily lead to race conditions and a version of the actor model would have been much better. I could go on but go is like a nicer C rather than a modern language people should be building web services in.
I think it means there is 0% Docker involved, but I am not sure...claiming to be 100% secure is more suspect to me.
Maybe I just have an unusual learning style, or haven't gotten the right resources, but I've found traditional, semantic CSS to have a brutal learning curve. When you're trying to build complex apps, you're constantly rearranging your taxonomy of classes to break down the page into an appropriate logical hierarchy. I appreciate that in principle this is a good thing to do, and once you get good at it there is less rewriting, but when you're trying to learn all of the other aspects of this craft at the same time, it can be a draining experience.

And I mean this on the scale of years, not just the 6-12 month "just getting the basics" stage of learning to be a dev.

If we still had the position of "front end developer" in the old sense of writing HTML, CSS, and maybe some light JS, that's someone who could dedicate their resources to mastering semantic CSS. Sometimes I wish there was still a job like that, but for whatever historical reasons, at most companies what we have is a combined role called "front end developer" that involves fairly heavy duty development with client side frameworks like React, but also all of the HTML and CSS stuff. And asking these folks to get good at the semantic side of CSS at the same time as learning all the rest, is asking a lot. Maybe worth it, but it's no joke.
I think utility classes _first_, and not utility classes _only_, is a reasonable approach. My purist mind would prefer something like semantic classes as a sort of 'public', 'HTML-facing' API, implemented using 'private' utility mixins, keeping the separation of concerns. But in practice, I know I have wasted a lot of time thinking about class hierarcies and separating components, especially when the design is nowhere finalized and I just want a 4px padding.
The real issue with css is that there is an enormous amount of code re-use while at the same time almost no code-reuse at all. The author's example highlights this perfectly: he has a "media-card" representing both the "author-bio" and "article-preview" but the "author-bio", in this case, needs to be slightly different. This, to me, is the quintessential css problem.

Almost nothing in css is identical, but almost everything is similar.

This becomes especially true as you move up the complexity spectrum. Primitive things can be identical (fonts, colors, input boxes, etc.), but the real higher-order actual components like pages, forms, sections rarely are. In fact, the little differences, tweaks and custom-tailoring that are manually applied based on context are what separate professional design from robotic enterprise-style Frankenstein design.

I think the answer is that you need both semantic css and utility css. Utility css is used to define the rigid primitives that make up the general design language, while semantic css provides the hooks and separation needed to be able to uniquely compose those primitives into custom higher-order components.

So to answer the author's question regarding how to model "author-bio" and "article-preview", I would personally keep their separate semantic titles, but style them using common utility primitives classes and custom css within the css.

Apple can afford to do that, and still retain royal customers. The lock-in is too real.

Microsoft on the other hand has to keep literally everyone happy (90% of the world not on Linux or Mac). Ofc, they can't abandon backwards compatibility.
You don't need to buy securitized mortgages. You can buy the mortgages directly. They're called whole loans. Sourcing them might be a bit tricky and I think you have to be accredited investor. They're usually sold in blocks among banks and institutional investors. I doubt you'll be able to source one specific person's loans and when these loans are up for sale, they usually don't include personally identifiable information.

The market for non-performing mortgages is more ad-hoc and you can buy an individual mortgage. But finding who owns the loan of a particular person is difficult. Also you would have to go through the trouble of foreclosing on them.
The thing is the checklist says in a runaway stabilizer scenario, it will trim continously, but MCAS does not apply trim continously. Therefore it does not exhibit itself as a "normal" trim runaway. Checklist: https://i.imgur.com/K7El4K4.jpg

Hence, they might not have thought it was a trim runaway.
