I do grant writing for nonprofits, public agencies, and some research-based businesses, and we endlessly tell clients to follow all RFP requirements religiously and precisely. See https://seliger.com/2008/02/25/what-does-a-grant-proposal-lo... for example:

Read the RFP carefully for formatting instructions and follow them precisely. For example, if the RFP says the proposal is to be double spaced, and does not make an exception for tables, double space all tables, no matter how silly this looks. The Department of Education, for example, will often reject proposals for non-compliance for just such nitpicking instructions.

We've seen innumerable proposals rejected for slight page limit violations, font violations, and similar minutia. Is this bullshit? Maybe. But if a funder is looking for reasons to reject you, and some are, try to give them as few reasons as possible.
I was surprised back when Segways were first sold, San Francisco was among the first cities to ban them on sidewalks.
Right, and in order to get to this new better world with cleaner air and less stop and go traffic, who will be granted the special driving right and who will get denied? Please be as specific as possible. I want to know if I'm getting to drive on the traffic free roads or if I'll be stuck in public transportation with the peasants. This will impact my vote.
Because giving the government more power couldn’t possibly go wrong. What do you think are the chances that the Trump administration would go after Fox or a Democratic administration would go after a company full of “the liberal elite”?

IQ measures very specific things, in a very specific way which is biased towards people who made the test. It doesn't measure overall capability, and it's quite easy to teach people to take the test, resulting in 15-20 point increases in score after a few months of practice.

Usually, it's racist elitist assholes who hold IQ up as this important measure, mostly because malnourished people from different cultures who aren't white don't tend to do as well, thus confirming their cherished desire for aryan superiority.

JetBrains products are excellent, I have both personal and work subscriptions. I wish MPS would catch on, though; it’s really exciting technology that way too few people are using, for some reason.
Mmm this is nonsense, from economíc perspective most of the money Google generates comes from search. What are you going to do? Have a single search company, other one a browser? To match technology that Google has developed through the years is close to impossible. From both business and Tech perspective there is no easy fix. Let the world runs as it is.
> building a search index - it requires titanic amounts of computing and electrical power.

That's because it's being done in an extremely wasteful way that isn't really necessary. Proper regulation could enforce a better interface between websites and search engines than stupidly and repeatedly crawling bloated web pages and throwing away almost all their contents. Google has used its computing resources to stay ahead in this game and has no motivation to fix this waste of time and energy. All they've done lately is to suggest using sitemaps for dynamic web sites so their crawlers don't get stuck there forever.
I wasn’t thinking specifically about chess, more broadly about life. For example in the case you presented the side with the bare king is not “in Zugzwang” cause his position can’t get worse. See, right now they are stuck in this useless position, but once the other side forces a checkmate they can finally end the stupid game and go home do something enjoyable...

Regarding data serialization, I'm currently using serde_json, however that's just because it's easy to work with for development/testing purposes though I do love the idea of using protobufs!

Maybe forcefully breaking them up is to much, but let's not pretend that breaking them up is acting against free market principles.

Oligopolies like this exist because there is no free market. Government laws on things like intellectual property, profit taxes and most importantly, the limited liability of corporations are the necessary breading ground for organization into giants.

In a pre-corporate "Adam Smith" style free market Google could not exist. In a sense, these giants are the opposite of a free market as every movement of value within large corporations is governed by hierarchical decision making with an almost military scheme.

From this perspective, it isn't all that strange for governments to look into rules and regulations that can tame the beasts that they have created with their rules and regulations.
You are downvoted but I kind of agree. I don't think their IDEs improved a lot / more since the subscriptions. Indexing is still a resource hog, RAM usage out of control etc.

I also dislike their insistence on copying the grey Adobe's UIs.
Thank Garbage Collected languages. I just checked the IDEA config and found its maximum heap is set to 750 MB by default. You typically wouldn't need 32GB to run it.
Former Emacs user here. I've been doing the same: stick with the defaults as much as possible and adapt. This brought nice additions to my workflow, like multi-cursor editing, which I didn't use in Emacs because doing regexes was my way of solving these problems.

PS: I'm pretty sure that Emacs must have a multi-cursor mode somewhere :)
I really think that no one would judge a reviewer for adding a heading where it needed to be. This is trivial, there isn’t really a political connotation here.

If a reviewer cannot do something trivial like this, then we don’t need them anyways. If the content doesn’t matter, as this bureaucracy has demonstrated, just run the application through a software that checks for word count and header presence and call it a day, and use those tax dollars towards a cause that would actually benefit society.
China's CO2 production per capita is half of that of US

The big question is how this streaming operates and the legal consequences.

There was a previous version of torrent streaming called Popcorn Time:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Time
Basically users suffer the same legal consequences as for torrenting: they are not just downloading, but also uploading--that is how the software works. This is quite different from a streaming site like Fmovies--where the user is downloading only--and not uploading.
The dock is not the menu bar.
> It’s likely by this pedantic definition that no automobile could ever be brutalist.

Brutalist comes from the french "brut" meaning "raw". So a car could perfectly well be brutalist by not hiding its nature under paint and covers.

The unpainted Reventon replica[0] is conceptually closer: it's bolted and welded sheet metal, and that's left obviously visible.

You are erecting a strawman. When scientists express concern towards a misapplication of a result, such as eugenic policies that would derive from the identification of variants associated with whatever trait, they don't just think it is morally abhorrent, they also think it is wrong, misguided and fruitless. When He raised controversy with his CRISPR-engineered twins, it wasn't just because he bypassed all ethics standards, it was also because what he did was reckless and did not in fact protect the twins from all forms of HIV. When evoluyionary biologists express skepticism towards claims made by behavioral "geneticists" or "evolutionary" psychologists, they are in fact pointing out the shoddy assumptions and flawed methodology, independently of whether the conclusions are morally abhorrent or not (they often are, but it's orthogonal to the point).

As strange as it may sound, the entire scientific community is not in fact conspiring to hide inconvenient right-wing truths from the common people, and if they do happen to overwhelmingly lean left that does not entail the existence of such a shadowy cabal.
Depends on the CFD estimation. This one puts it at 0.47: https://i.imgur.com/MnY9lDO.jpg

An F-150 is 0.40. So according to this simulation, the Cybertruck is roughly 20% less efficient than the F150. Of course, all of these simulations are a crap-shoot.

And secondly, towing efficiency seems primarily determined by weight / rolling resistance anyway. So I'm not sure how much CFDs really matter. On the other hand, electric batteries are more efficient. On the other-other hand, ICE gets more efficient the more weight you load on it. (Etc. etc. etc.)

We can sit around and compare apples-to-shotguns all day, but whenever the thing comes out, we'll just run tests on it then. No point trying to make hypotheticals, just test it when it comes out.

EDIT: Another point: the cybertruck, as revealed, doesn't have side-mirrors. So now we have to make a guess: will the final product have side mirrors? Is Musk aiming for a camera-based solution? Etc. etc. These sorts of details could change a CFD simulation significantly. Clearly, the design of the truck is in its early stages, and they still have a lot of work to do. We really don't know what the final product will look like at any detail where an accurate CFD-model could be made.
Again, I'm not against regulation or breaking up oligopolies. There are good reasons to criticise various aspects of Google's dominant position. But I'm against doing it for the breathtakingly terrible reason that they are posting too many ads.

Breaking up Google wouldn't fix that, and we cannot take all decisions away from users based on the argument that users are somehow manipulated. This is a blanket excuse for taking away any and all freedoms and responsibilities from everybody.

If we regulate Google, it has to be to guarantee a level playing field and to prevent the abuse of a dominant market position. We shouldn't regulate to force certain usability preferences upon users.

> use intellij for Rust

Use CLion instead of IntelliJ. It has much better debugging support.

I've used both VSCode and CLion quite a bit for Rust, and I prefer CLion. It's got a much better understanding of the language.
Thanks. Yes including hacker news and reddit.
This is not reliable for paywalled links. I can sometimes download paywalled content from my console because I'm behind a university IP block.
Yes, I personally like that if it means a single corporation isn't spying on me and trying to acquire all of my personal data in a single silo. Paying for it would also allow companies in this space to innovate more easily.
You can hire a program to review code too, but that isn't a linter.
Carbon taxes are easy. You tax anyone who pulls it out of the ground or imports it. With international agreements you might drop the import tax and let to source country tax the extraction. The producers will just pass the added cost on to the users. Even this simple solution will be shot down by politics.
Oh, so there's a pull request that I didn't see, the bugs don't show that it's being worked on.

I understand that there are lots of hard technical issues to be resolved, it's just the visibility of this pull request wasn't that good.

Thanks for the answer!

Very interesting thread.
sketch.systems: Prototyping Applications as State Machines
Thanks for this.

I love the concept, and would use it daily if there were features for adding/removing/viewing favorites. This is something that the official API doesn't support, so it's not something I'm faulting this application for. Impressive for sure.

Also +1 on wlqlwlql's dark-mode idea, although a color theme in general might be a better approach (but perhaps overly complicated?).
Popcorn Time is up and, from what I hear, running just fine.

Haven't listened to it yet, but the synopsis mentions Wolfram and Jupyter notebooks.

I know they can have problems, but I do find this style of literate programming to be very nice.

I wrote a lengthy and complex Wolfram notebook a few months ago complete with text sections, images, code, graphs, and charts. It was super easy to pick up six months later. Jupyter notebooks with Python are a little easier to get started with as there are a lot less features, but Wolfram is more complete. I've enjoyed both and wish all my textbooks were done in this format.

> A better, but harder way, is to figure out how it can be decentralized...

The whole point of Google is to be a centralized entry to the decentralized Web.
> People don't like being taken for a ride, thus they resist what makes their life more difficult.

I doubt it. People don’t want to reduce consumption. People want their detached houses and front and back yards, they want their international vacations, domestic vacations, they want to drive around without thinking how much it will cost them. People want to see their children live easier lives than them, not harder. Conveniently ignoring their great great grandchildren’s lives, but there’s comfort in plausible deniability of not knowing the future.
I think IntelliJ is an exceptionally good software.
BitBar: Put the output of any script on your macOS menu bar
Isn’t that the same thing? Lisp hasn’t been on the hype cycle since SO was launched. Personally, yet another reason not to focus on less popular technologies.

As far as MacOS, I’ve heard too many horror stories about developing on Apple platforms from people like Marco Arment and other well known developers caused by Apple’s poor documentation, I’ve also avoided it even though I am rabid consumer of Apple products.
Thanks for the feedback - I agree those features should be disabled by default. Just wanted to have them enabled now so people don't accidentally miss them
Yet most (western) countries immigration policy is set on the opposite assumption - that personality traits (of which IQ is only one) are not heritable.

The caution and "well it's complicated" shouldn't run in only one direction.
I agree. It's sluggish and very resource hungry. It runs on the JVM and it shows. I've switched to VS Code, also for Java coding.
Yes, university should be able to make some room so researchers can work with it. It's a lot of data, but not impossible to do with a small investment.

That's a nice way of saying it's a trash fire.
It is not that confusing. Amazon sells and rents digital videos. Anyone can pay for those and watch them.

They also have prime video, which is a subscription service that is included with an Amazon Prime subscription (although you can also pay for it separately if you don’t want the other prime benefits)

With prime video, you can watch all of the Amazon originals (like the expanse season 4), and a subset of their entire collection that they license from other publishers.

You can filter to just display shows and movies that are included in the prime subscription, so you don’t keep picking a movie or show and find out that it is not a part of prime.
Sometimes it's government policies themselves that unbalance the market and allow the proliferation of monopolies. I'm not sure it's the case with Google, though. Would appreciate a comment from someone more informed.
They are very open about it and I don't see any problem with it. You could find some issues with them running a cloud software like that, but given that they primarily produce tools that are largely open source it is not a problem in my mind.

Here is an article about their operations in Prague (in czech), from what I understand they have most of developers in St petesburgh..

How does the one-week winning streak compare to the longest one ever achieved?
No, but if we go as far as “Google has a monopoly on its own platform”, that’s an ugly rabbit hole. But you can use third party Map apps on Android from Nokia and other providers.

No one forces you to stay on Android.
> I love IntelliJ but I am constantly switching between PyCharm and WebStorm, which is quite annoying since I end up doing python and javascript in both. I wish they one modular product instead of many, many slightly different products.

That's IntelliJ IDEA.

Though it seems completely unnecessary, PyCharm (non-CE) should contain all the features of WebStorm (sometimes with a bit of lag).
The Death of Jabber: Why the users need to care about the protocol
For me its because they do a really good job of keeping the UI snappy and responsive. This is pretty impressive considering:

1) Its a java app

2) Continuously running compilers/interpreters in the background

3) Running builds and tests can be bursty and its pretty good about not hanging when that happens.

There is about 149 billion dollars of difference between the amount of money Google needs to "keep the lights on" and the 150 billion dollars that Google will see in revenue this year. Also, if "ads keep the lights on" then why aren't there toll booths on all paved roads, since "tolls pave the roads"?
Wait, the article says "Finally all your docker containers can be world wide reachable, fully secured without any manual configuration required."

Is that a good thing? I hope it is tongue in cheek. I thought the secure practice is to hide the docker containers behind reverse proxies in DMZs, not expose them publically to the internet.

I expected this article to be about setting up your own CA in docker.
i en joyed it but s true that lack of pucntuation and grammatical errors made it harder to read then necessary. /s
That's not a problem per se, it's just unlikely to happen because of the insane amount of the bill, and the roi is not that good anyway.

For instance, Google pays Apple 9 billion/year to be the default search engine (incredible but True). On the account of 20-30% to user acquisition that means that Apple users can be monetized by Google at around 30B/year (9B/0.30). Google is extremely good at monetizing people, right, a competitor might not be as efficient, let's say half. That gives you 15B addressable revenue.

Now the question. Would you pay Apple 10B to gain, at best, 15B? No one that crazy has this kind of money :-) On top of that, who prevents Google to pay 16B next year?
The "favorite"/"follow" function is something I was also thinking about. I have some ideas about it - something like an extra feed window where only favorited (and related) things show up.

Regarding color themes - these are super easy to add.

> No it's pretty clear what are ads or not on Google.

It is for you and I, but not for the average user. My grandpa clicks on sponsorized links because they are at the top, no matter the presence of the word "ads" or "sponsored".

It would be a lot clearer not to have ads at the top but elsewhere, so that the “best” result is always at the top.

They only achieve this level of taste every couple of weeks or so (and this presentation a couple of times a year) but that's a huge improvement on the British universities I am familiar with.

I've visited one university in France, and it was a normal presentation but excellent quality, and a fairly normal day according to the locals.

Small-town Alaskan newspaper seeks new owner. Price: $0
That really depends on how you define "lawyering up" - I'm not saying he should hire a lawyer and run all communications with his company through the lawyer moving forward. I'm just saying have a conversation with someone who understands the legal issues at hand here, then make an educated decision on how to proceed. He can always still have a friendly negotiation with his company after talking to a lawyer.
