Everyone has their pet issues that they want everyone on the wrong side of put to death (or otherwise punished harshly) for. These people won't vote for officials who don't do that so in order to be most electable politicians/DAs/judges/sheriffs have to be tough on all the crimes and we get the status quo. It's basically a tragedy of the commons that makes reducing input of alleged criminals to the legal system politically impossible.

Last year I had applied for a job where we would have to manage Windows servers. Stuff with Active Directory and storage... I'm Linux guy but have extended experience in WinServer 2012. I just set up a server, boot ProxMox, spun up as many as Win Server 2016 instances I wanted to experiment with all the aspects of the new Win Server and guess what? I was second in the job interview. Thank you ProxMox. You is the best.
I-5 will still be there. They are talking about adding a $100bn lane to the highway vs a stated cost $50bn bullet train.
Does sharing track ever work? Amtrak already has to share track with freight, and that's why Seattle to Portland is officially "3.5 hours" but the margin of error on that is +hours.
Another mindset to use is to remember it's NOT a justice system. It's a legal system, so get the best damn team you can. Because you're in a legal game not a justice game. Know what game you're playing before you step on the floor.

Wow. That woke me up this morning. I never thought of that, but now it's apparent that this is spot on. And this is the game played by professional criminals (white-collar con-men types).
Very interesting, thanks for posting! I'm working on-and-off on a fantasy console side-project that is based on the same ideas used for home computers from the 8-bit and 16-bit era, and the interaction between the CPU and video chip (in terms of clocks, memory access, interrupts, etc) is something I still haven't completely figured out in my head. This article does an excellent job explaining how these kinds of things worked, great stuff!
I can see that, sure. Which is better, electing or appointing judges? It doesn't seem clear cut to me that there is a good answer with those options.

As an aside, in the US, in some jurisdictions including federal, being a lawyer isn't a requirement for judgeship.

> `yarn` is a generally superior alternative to `npm`.

I’m about 18 months out from last using it, but people were saying this then and it was, in fact, full of bugs and missing features. The company I was at kept starting projects with it because it was trendy, then switching to NPM when we tried to use a feature yarn didn’t have or lost an hour debugging some problem that turned out to be yarn-induced breakage. This was the consistent experience of about a dozen developers across several projects, most of whom were very enthusiastic about yarn, at first.

Maybe it’s much better now but, again, people have been saying this since it first came out and if it’s true, it’s a recent development.
High-speed train would displace not just flights, but also buses, private cars and the existing (admittedly pathetic) rail service, plus it would also induce new demand since it would make currently awkward trips (eg. flying from Seattle to Vancouver for a single meeting and flying back) much more feasible.

Studies of other new HSRs over similar distances indicate quite consistently that they take about equal shares (~30%) from planes and buses/cars, with the remaining ~40% passengers from replaced rail service and induced demand.

Vancouver is just over the Columbia. I don't think we need a high-speed rail. What we need is a new I-5 bridge that includes a light rail line and many more lanes. It's such a bottleneck between Portland and Vancouver.

> I personally find the idea of programming through text editors and files to be archaic and primitive.

You have to think about 9p as an RPC protocol with files representing objects within the file server program. Reading/writing those files is how you interact with said objects. And it doesn't have to be text, it can be binary. Though text is used when a human has to interact with something. This is why you can do a lot of neat tricks using just a shell script as you can directly interact with a program using a standardized interface. No other operating system can claim such a high level of homogeneity.

As a hypothetical example, take the game Doom. We modify it to serve a file system to expose all of the players stats as a file tree. So a file called health is an rpc call to read and write the players health. This means you can '% echo 100 >/n/doom/player/health' to set your health to 100. It also means you eliminated the need to reinvent the wheel and integrate a console shell in the game. This saves the programmer invaluable time and eliminates duplicate code. Now we can use shell scripts or helper programs to interact with the game. And they can be in any language as all they have to do is open(/path/to/file) and read() write(). Imagine how much code you can eliminate and how much flexibility you gain by exposing your programs innards in such a standard manner? At this point, you might be thinking "So, if it's a file server, does that mean I can export it to the network?" Yes. You can have another computer mount that doom file server and interact with it.

You can also export your USB controller or other hardware using the same method. The level of flexibility is intoxicating and I don't care if it doesn't play youtube (that's what archaic and primitive 70's os's running in vmx(3) are for :-).

LyX is WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean). So an entirely different sort of thing. I guess you could argue that there is really no point to doing a WYSIWYG editor on top of LaTex. If it entirely works then the LaTex is just a internal layer that adds nothing but pointless complexity. WYSIWYM is the primary reason that people bother with LaTex in the first place. It's for the people that want the computer to do the work of laying out the text.
Additionally when you are at your destination, you are most likely going to be needing your car too. Most American cities require a car to get anywhere you want to go.

E.g. I can technically take the bus to get to work where I live, but it would take 2 hours one way. It is a 20 minutes in my car.
The irony in my eyes is that everything OP said applies to someone who is genuinely guilty. Furthermore, for all we know, all defendants could be genuinely guilty (icluding OP), because of the incomplete information we have of the world. That's the nature of the knowledge we have of others, and justice process in general. OP pointed this out, in not so many words, but then finished by saying [paraphrasing] "don't seek my advice if you're really guilty". I enjoy the irony in that, and I empathize with the dissonance.
It's only threatening our species coz space research was quite purposefully stalled while old world global political tensions were simmering at their hottest.

Once there is an off-planet colony i expect the resource pressure that is starting to show will ease up considerably. Capturing asteroid/mining other planets for resources - there are a lot of ways for things to course correct. Everything we're facing right now is coz of an artifical bottleneck in our species expansion

It will also render existential threats moot coz there will be off planet resources to rebuild a civilization in case things do go catastrophically wrong.

Adding lanes to freeways only encourages and perpetuates such lack of density. Cars will do just as well with the current number of lanes. Induced demand is a real thing.

I worked on both, b2c and b2b. The journey's and acceptable patterns differed between those broad categories but the underlying process was identical.

SMB market would be where I think you'd have the greatest success with a product like this, again you'd just have to see what people are willing to pay. What I have seen is most of these types of products are priced either in bands based on # of subscribers or on a per record basis. You would have to just see what it is worth to people and see if you can monetize it at a rate that is worth the effort. I'd think there is a way just given how many people need services like this in the SMB market space, but they also can be a tougher market to sell into and keep happy. They'll pull the trigger faster on sales but can be very demanding of your time in support and in general expect a lot for the price they are willing to pay. Enterprises will demand a lot of support but they accept paying a premium when they are getting what they need, in general.

Here's an interesting article about the "Fallacy of Monad Tutorials" and why most metaphors fail: https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/abstraction-intuiti...

The key insight here is: there are no shortcuts. Most metaphors are useful but limited. Once a metaphor "clicks" for a person, they forget all the work it took them for the concept to really click, and think the shortcut will help other people: "Monads are like burritos! If only other people understood this, they would get them!".

> "But now Joe goes and writes a monad tutorial called “Monads are Burritos,” under the well-intentioned but mistaken assumption that if other people read his magical insight, learning about monads will be a snap for them. “Monads are easy,” Joe writes. “Think of them as burritos.” Joe hides all the actual details about types and such because those are scary, and people will learn better if they can avoid all that difficult and confusing stuff. Of course, exactly the opposite is true, and all Joe has done is make it harder for people to learn about monads, because now they have to spend a week thinking that monads are burritos and getting utterly confused, and then a week trying to forget about the burrito analogy, before they can actually get down to the business of learning about monads."

Already in this comments section I see this kind of misunderstandings: "monads are containers with values in them, almost like objects", "monads are for effectful computations", "monads are for imposing a sequential order", etc. These are all particular uses of monads, but not what monads are.
I think the real flaw is thinking that there is single axis of quality: really, there are multiple axes. There's code quality: Plan 9 probably is superior to Linux, Windows or macOS. There's popularity: Plan 9 is inferior to the Big Three. There's orthogonality: Plan 9 is superior to the Big Three. There's availability of fundamental software like w web browser and emacs: Plan 9 is inferior to the Big Three. There's performance: Plan 9 might actually be better because it does less, but worse at truly intensive loads? I don't actually know. There's API surface: Plan 9 has a much smaller API, which is both superior (cleaner) and inferior (less features out of the box) — I think it's a net win, but reasonable people can disagree.

That said, once you've played around with Plan 9's filesystem ideas, they are IMHO clearly and inarguably correct, and should be adopted.

Which is exactly what he wrote.
because like any of these proposals supporting high speed rail the numbers are always bullshit. first they don't even have their route down and even when they do it will be years in courts as every little concerned group gets a word in edgewise and their payout. the road costs are pretty much safer and likely cheaper as right of way is already secured and unlike rail you don't need to complete it all at once to have service nor complete it in connected stages. plus you have all those wonderful exits which will always be in greater frequency than train depots and they all have industry or other features using them

then comes the one aspect of rail they always love to leave out, maintenance and ongoing costs. part of the reason the rail transit systems used by Amtrak and even those in cities have nearly a hundred billion dollar deficit. rail is always cheaper when you don't maintain it.

then of course passenger numbers are always dream state numbers. Oh its quite fun to dream up stuff, rail always has this odd romanticism about it, but in the end who does it serve?
You can always follow USA where minimum wage is not enough to live :) - the wonders of the right.
Sounds good, I will def give it a go! (no pun intended) :)
I would wager it's closer to reality than the number for rail. We've built enough highways that we have a pretty good idea what the costs are. High speed rail has fewer companies bidding on it and less experienced overseers.

Ok, but you are betting on false hopes then.

First foo or bar can be function pointers.

Or maybe log_event is a macro whose behavior depends on the environment. And I have used some crazylogging ones back in the 2000's when coding C, that would even dump the current state of the process alongside its parameters.

Or then again, log_event() plugs into a configurable logging system and one cannot predict its behavior just from the call site, even when using the same types.

Finally if we move away from C semantics, maybe log_event is overloaded or is doing multiple dispatch, thus the two calls, depending on the argument types, are not going to land on the same implementation.

All Americans have been in a car before and could potentially see themselves using that road. Conversely, there are a lot of Americans that have never been on a high speed train or train of any type. It's a lot easier to convince the population of voters to build roads than rail.
Wow. The EU requires unanimous approval. The Europeans looks at the US’ Articles of Confederation and said, “we can make that work.” They need a rogue group of reformers that create a new system of government, illegally, like the US’ Federalists. Only then will the EU get its shit together.

> Look at the annexation of Crimea for example. Was it an annexation or not? For us (people of the West) it seems quite clear but ask people from Russia and a lot of them will tell you another story.

Perhaps a far aside:

Annexation is a quite defined term, specifically: "the addition of an area or region to a country". Word definitions can change over time, but right now this is what it means. It's not necessarily a charged word either.

This was an annexation, regardless if you believe it was just or not.

And on the latter discussion, I'm much more interested in what people in Crimea think than Russians or us in the West.
The notation for the indefinite integral was introduced by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1675 (Burton 1988, p. 359; Leibniz 1899, p. 154). He adapted the integral symbol, ∫, from the letter ſ (long s), standing for summa (written as ſumma; Latin for "sum" or "total").

Not trolling, but is there anything that says they're breaking the current laws in Spain? (I'm from the UK, so no dog in this fight althought I can see our gov implementing it at some point I reckon)

Sure, they're taking advantage of tax loopholes I'd bet but in themselves, they're not necessarily against the law.

They're probably paying all the tax in Spain they're currently, legally obliged to pay at the moment.

Just my £0.02

Edit: Just thought of something? Is there a google.es? If this is what they are talking about, would it not be easier for Google just to bin that one and for Spaniards to be automatically redirected to another Spanish-speaking version, like one of the South American ones?

You might be right, but I don't think it would be the right choice. There's a point where you trade off total security for usability. America is no stranger to trains and metros, yet the majority of those run without TSA like security.

I noted while in Japan, that they have no bins. If I'm not mistaken, they were removed due to a terror attack in the 90s. However, Japan train stations all have coin lockers. Now in NYC, you've got no coin lockers, due to a terrorist attack, but you do have bins. I don't believe either measure actually reduces the likelihood of a terror attack, it's just security theater.

I do -- founder of a funded company with customers -- and my observation is it's very very difficult to bake a business model into a business after the fact.

I’m currently working on a project where I’m using Pandoc which allows me to write and outline in Markdown with embedded LaTeX when necessary. When I have a new “style” I want to apply - indexable category, figures and summary information, etc. - I create a new macro and use that inline. My particular project has a lot of repeating elements, imagine a review of all Chevrolet’s, so one section has a significant number of pages that follow a similar structure - a table of common details, an image, a review.

So far, it’s working for me. Along with GNU make, Inkscape (for turning SVG to PDF), I’ve been happy with what I have with minimal embedded layout.

Well, they do pay some insanely low taxes.
“ Induced demand exists but is a sign of success of utility of the road. ”
