That's a hard hypothetical question, and the failure of NeXT to sell hardware doesn't give that much insight into the answer. What Apple (near-)ideally needed in the mid-to-late '80s was probably both a high-end Macintosh offering and an in-house NeXT: ideally on the same hardware like the early OS X-compatible Macs, though that was probably not a hard necessity in the early stages. Whether Jobs could have been made to go along with that mixed approach is unclear. However we do know that without Jobs Apple flailed around with Taligent/Pink for so long that it almost destroyed the company while NeXT shipped before 1989. (Why Apple didn't just choose to get serious about A/UX is another mystery.) What really seems to have hurt NeXT, at least as a Macintosh competitor or successor, was lack of support from the important Macintosh ISVs. An in-house Apple NeXT would have had a much better shot at charming or squeezing the ISVs into supporting the platform, though again there are questions such as when or if a never-fired late-'80s or early-'90s Jobs would have gone along with something like Carbon. Similarly the Apple branding and imprimatur would have helped to reassure purchasers who were leery of jumping ship to an independent NeXT. By contrast the high cost of NeXT hardware was probably not a critical problem, at least for the NeXT as a next Macintosh: Macintosh IIs cost about the same as equivalent NeXT systems. And in any case NeXT's cost problems seem to have been partly due to the expense of its own, gold-plated manufacturing operation, something even Jobs would not have replicated at an Apple-internal NeXT. The independent NeXT was also hindered by the legal agreements and legal actions between it and Apple. Finally, it also faced increasing pressure to turn a profit at a time when Apple was highly profitable and would have been able to treat an in-house NeXT as a vital strategic investment in its future.
I suppose that is an option. Perhaps a 2nd electric car could charge the first one. That actually sounds like it should already be possible. Is it? I tried googling but couldn't find an answer.
Treating charging like we treat fuelling is the problem. The reason we have gas stations is because we have to store and dispense the fuel safely. We don't have a safe, effective system to transport gasoline to all of our homes and offices. Natural gas cars would be one option, with "pumps" at our homes to fill up our cars, but gasoline is always going to be in underground tanks at a filling station.

Electricity is easily and safely delivered to our homes and offices and indeed, most EV owners probably do the majority of their charging at their own homes.

The issue of EV charging is actually tied to the range of the cars. If you get the range to where a car can be driven longer than the driver can safely drive (say 16-18 hours) then the time spent charging is basically moot...you can charge while the driver sleeps. Hotels become a logical spot for chargers.

Both of these can be true:

* Pilots have lower risk of death than the general population (because of health requirements and general wealthiness)

* A person who decides to become a pilot has a higher risk of death than if they didn't (because a lot of private pilots crash)

How becoming a pilot affects life insurance is based on the second, not the first.

> torture themselves instead of following a simple diet.

What exactly is a "simple diet"? Not eating certain foods? Limiting portion sizes? Research shows that traditional diets have extremelly low compliance rates.

I'm not an endocrinologist, but as far as I understand, but as far as I understand, part of the effectiveness of IF is related to Ghrelin, a hormone associated with hunger. Basically, Ghrelin is a hormone which is correlated with the feeling of hunger, and it tends to come in waves around your normal meal times. So if I normally eat at 7:00 AM, I will get a wave of Ghrelin at that time every day. But Ghrelin has the property where, if I don't eat within that period where the hormone level is peaking, eventually it will subside whether or not I have eaten. Also if I skip that meal time for a few days, eventually that peak will decrease in magnitude or will go away all together.

So this is part of the reason why IF is effective: it's actually reducing the total amount of physiological hunger I experience in a given day.
Worth noting that support for custom allocators in standard collections is not finalized yet: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/32838

The (awesome) bumpalo crate that you link to gets around this by providing ported implementations of Vec and String, but if you need e.g. a custom-allocated HashMap, you need to implement it yourself.
The straw stuff is supposed to be about the size of the straw and their propensity to get into the environment and hurt animals. Cups don’t have the same effect.

(That said, my understanding is the straw research is based on a 5th grade science project and most of the straws that reach the environment are from third world countries that don’t have good landfills or waste disposal systems...)
> The recycling of everything else is mostly a combination of virtue signaling and a jobs program.

The truthiness of this statement depends a lot on the region of the world you are looking at.

In Europe there is a consolidated and expanding recycling market for many different types of materials. For example more that 30% in eight of the plastics sent to recycle in EU actually ends up being recycled [1]. (It would be closer to ~40% if it weren't for France.) These are big numbers that are having a meaningful impact on the amount of CO2 produced, not just "jobs programs".

BTW, a decade ago I met the owner of a factory that used only post-consumer plastic and he stated that his business was limited by the lack of good post-consumer plastics: the biggest share of the best kinds of plastics are being bought, at an higher price, by incinerators operators, leaving his factory and others to deal with second-rate plastic.

As someone with an instrument rating even having that can be foiled. I am sitting in Scottsdale when I should have been home last night because of icing.

It took my wife and I about three months to do our instrument ratings where that was pretty much our solid focus. It felt like a bit of a slog at the end, but pretty rewarding.

All this back-and-forth about whether and how it's nature or nurture. The point of modern gender freedom is not to deny there is a strong nature influence, it's to nurture kids to go whichever directions they like.

All these anecdotes about how this kid and that kid displayed common traditional gender preferences seem to be offered as an argument against trying to upset the traditional nature of these preferences. Sure, maybe only 5% of girls are ever going to want to race cars, but the idea is to make room those 5%, and that takes conscience effort.
No it's not. Studies have even found that athletes improve recovery if they have a protein infusion soon before sleeping.
> While the evidence for this has been mostly anecdotal, a study published in 2017 by the National Business Aviation Association, the industry’s D.C.–based advocacy group, drew a correlation between companies in the S&P 500 that deploy business aircraft versus those that don’t; the users outperformed non-users by 70 percent.

AKA the higher-performing companies could afford private jets. What is up with this spurious assumption of causation?
I'd go a step further: That seems to be the problem with the very idea of a diet. The connotations are all wrong. The idea that it's going to be an expenditure of discipline and willpower is intimately wrapped up in the concept, and it's downright depressing to contemplate doing that indefinitely.

I would guess that it's a lot easier to achieve success if you try to play a different mental game, where the goal is to change your habits in a way that makes a different way of eating the default state instead of something that requires a constant effort. Maybe decide that certain kinds of foods are only for when you're eating out? Maybe buy a rice cooker so that whole grains are more convenient to prepare? Maybe find other motivations entirely? Chip bags and the like aren't recyclable, so my home consumption of junk calories dropped off precipitously after I decided to make a concerted effort to limit the amount of plastic packaging I'm sending to the landfill.

I don't doubt any of that, I'm just confused on why 10/14 needs a special label or is defined as fasting.

If you goto sleep at 11pm and don't eat until 8am the next day, do you classify this as a 9 hour fast assuming you ate something 5 minute before sleeping?

At some point things are just "normal" based around your sleep schedule. Or to put it another way, if you drink water with breakfast at 8am but then don't drink anything for 3 hours, would you label that 3 hour time span as a "self imposed hydration cleanse"?
> eat dinner at 6-7pm and that's your last food intake for the day and then eat breakfast around 7-9am. [...] It's just living life normally.

That sounds like the eating habits of my thin friends, not the habit of my overweight friends. 70%+ of the USA is overweight. Time to rethink "normal".

They make a good point about two-factor auth.
Checksums, solve a different problem. How does a developer know his code which works on his laptop will work on production. One of, but not the only, conditions for that are that his development artifact builds with the same dependencies as it will build in production. Their are a lot of possible causes for Dev/Prod to differ wildly. One of them are poor build practices.
Anyone who is involved in a serious pursuit of science - especially cosmologists, astronomers, and physicists - has this same feeling of the inescapable insignificance. I'm not saying as a matter of reality that we are insignificant, but to feel that we might be the only significant thing in all of it strikes me as strange. To me, the normal reaction to discovering that the geocentric model is false and that we are part of a huge galaxy which is itself part of an infinite number of galaxies, etc etc should fill a person with a healthy sense of "wow, look at the vastness of the universe and how small we are in all of it." You're right that small doesn't mean insignificant, but the feeling of relative insignificance still seems inescapable to me and being small in the scheme of things is something that hits the emotions in a powerful way. The vastness of the universe should instill some humility I think.
I haven't seen anything about this saga in mainstream news; I can't see that it's going to be won without getting papers on-side.
I've recently started doing 23h fasts. It's the easiest diet so far. As soon as I come back from work, which is around 5pm, I eat whatever I want. Then no eating until I come back from work next day. It's also nice not to think about food all day.

And mine is just as universal, and likely also not the first but the first one that got wide visibility.

This guy did a great job of addressing some of the shortcomings of my machine, specifically in the number of output bins (18 instead of 12), but it is a regression in other ways (built out of Lego so it will break frequently, mechanical part movement from the belts, which will lead to frequent jams and will wear as well as that it is slow and more timing sensitive).

All in all a nice effort and very nice video production but not nearly as much of an improvement that would make it reproducible/mass marketable.

To properly build a machine like this will take a significant budget and a lot of hours behind cad software to make it out of industrial parts rather than Lego. I you want to make something mass marketable then you have a very long road ahead of you.

>most of the people who use corporate aviation, haven’t optimized their time in other parts of their lives

Everyone I know who flies private optimized their time way beyond what you described. Is your experience different?
I’ve been flying piston airplanes for 20 years, mostly for recreation/personal travel but with a couple business trips a year mixed in.

There is no way in hell that aviation has “saved me time” overall. It does save me time on the day of a trip when everything goes perfectly, but there are many winter days in New England that are flyable by twin jets that are not flyable even in de-iced piston singles. You just don’t have the power surplus or airspeed to plan to climb through a moderate layer of icing.

If you lived on an island and commutes to the mainland near a satellite airport is one scenario where you could save time overall. Otherwise, it’s a time-consuming (and very fun) pastime.

> And most of the people who use corporate aviation, haven’t optimized their time in other parts of their lives E.g. have a personal trainer come to your house everyday (as opposed to going to the gym), get a personal chef to cook your meals, move closer to work (or have work move closer to you),etc.

What makes you think this? I would have thought the bar for getting a personal trainer or a housekeeper is far far lower than the bar for people getting corporate aviation? Many middle class people manage to afford a personal trainer and housekeeper.
That is a really good question. I like the line "service mesh for the rest of us." But I want to take the time to get this side of the product right, so the service discovery features we have been working on will be rolling out slowly.

I was absolutely with you until you broadly referred to the "anti-war press" and their "outrage" and "ignorance", and then I was absolutely against you. Being "anti-war" is not the issue of pragmatism you were originally criticising, and spreading hatred for generalized groups of people is the foundation from which arises anything and everything reasonable people criticise in the first place (this principle is especially important when the target is journalists, who have been murdered in a nation as "developed" as the US as a direct result of people who don't like what they print encouraging others to hate them).
Thanks for sharing. I felt amused and I think that is silly. I am still wanting to hear from the person I asked, because I want to understand what he or she specifically thinks a hippy attitude is. His or her idea might be different from yours or mine.
I believe that business aviation exists mainly because commercial aviation is not trustworthy. You book a flight and most of the times it's late for whatever reason or even canceled. It's also nearly impossible to find alternative flights for the same time if yours is canceled so you have to cancel or delay your business meeting.
The entire article's tone is about promoting private jet travel as a good thing, hardly surprising.

Fine-grained automation means Apple event IPC, which is very powerful and elegant, which for practical purposes means AppleScript, which is… not.

I wrote production-quality Apple event bridges for half-a-dozen major languages (Apple even considered bundling a couple of them in Leopard).

For better or worse, the future of macOS Automation now lies in the hands of the Siri squad and their conversational shortcuts. Let’s hope they do better.

It might be normal behavior for you but this is not normal for everyone.
That's not so much about fun as it is about long term viability, building it out of Lego will cause it to break very frequently. Typical Lego parts in complex setups like these will cause the machine to break once every couple of hours. Lego is first and foremost a toy and not an industrial component, but still, it is surprising how far you can get with it.

I built my V0 out of Lego and it worked but it was very quickly evident that it needed a more industrial approach if you wanted to drop 10 Kg of Lego in the hopper and go have lunch.
The main risk in a study like this is that (1) with inclusion criteria but (2) without controls, you’re susceptible to reversion to the mean.

Imagine that your weight fluctuates by about 3% every few days. The risk is that by imposing a cutoff for inclusion, you are more likely to identify people at the top of their usual range. So, the natural decline as they oscillate around their normal weight will look like a treatment effect.

Adding controls without intervention would be helpful to identify (and control for) this problem.

Unrelated, but also, I note that 6 people were excluded because they already eat for fewer than 10h/day.
