Thanks for linking to that. I had this done a while back but didn't know what it was called or how it worked. If only all imaging techniques were as fast and pleasant this one. It was over in seconds. Although I suppose the small size of retinas likely play a part in that as well.

Yesterday, my wife stumbled upon a "20 pieces of good news" article and read it to me. Things like initiatives being taken to save the bees etc. At first I thought it was a bit silly but I realized that hearing all those good things did something wonderful: it made me feel quite optimistic on behalf of the world, which I can't say I have in a while (in spite of my own life going quite well).

Keeping informed is the duty of a citizen in a democracy and I don't want to live in a rose colored bubble but I do think I am going to try and curate my news harder. For now, I started following The Good News Network and The Constructive Institute on Twitter and I will try and look for other similar sources.
When I did a comparison:

Crystal has 1,209 repos
https://github.com/topics/crystal

Ruby has 19,721
https://github.com/topics/ruby

For those who needs performance for specific tasks, the option is easy since it’s a small investment to learn Crystal but Elixir is mature.

Kotlin - it's on JVM which is a good thing for some and a bad thing for others. It's easier to distribute standalone crystal binary for example.

Swift - crystal throws exceptions, swift explodes...

Ocaml - the functional approach is not for everyone.

Rust - I like rust a lot. But sometimes I want to write something quick and I'm happy to sacrifice some memory and speed to not have to deal with the ownership issues.

Nim - the most comparable, I guess it's syntax preference at that point

> it adds to the wallet thickness.

This was an irritating thing. My wallet has been one card stuffed in the back of my phone case for about 10 years now. One less thing to keep track of. It goes against the grain here, but going 100% cashless has improved things for me and has reduced my spending. The extra points on the credit card are nice and the crud and shrapnel that used to accumulate in and around my wallet are not a thing anymore.

It's a nightmare as well if you're trying to multitask an app that isn't in your dock. Often I'll have to do this dance of tap home, open the app I want on the side, it opens full screen switch back to that app and then drag it GENTLY to the place I want.

I wrote a non-graphical, text-only, command line method of searching booking.com a few years ago using only nc/tnftp/curl/etc., sed, links (for form submission) and tmux (to send keystrokes to links). It searches for hotels, outputs a formatted list of hotel IDs, completes the dates availability form and returns a list of prices. I just tried it and it still works. Of course I never see any of the controversial tactics as they all require graphics.
This ought to be so self-evident here that having to point it out is unnecessary.

I can remember much of where and what I learned in K-12, and who helped me to learn it (and how much they helped). It may (or not) be trendy, but it would be damned thankless of me to take that help for granted.

Learning anything is a discipline. Self-discipline isn't something we're born with, and great teachers model it for us. If we don't learn it, the prognosis for us is dim. Once we acquire it, to the extent we're able, we can accomplish whatever we 'set our minds to'. Coding, for an example. Compassion, for another.
I’ve heard steer by wire can have faster feedback than pure mechanical systems. Even a mechanical steering has lag in cogs and there is never 100% stiffness in the steering column, etc.
With no judgment whatsoever, may I ask: why did you do the work? Why did you not walk away and stand on moral principle against such intervention? From reading your comments, I gather this isn’t something you agreed with.
Shipyard-constructed several-hundred-megawatt pressurized water reactors. The Navy has basically achieved economies of mass production with their reactors. The submarine and aircraft carrier weapons systems are expensive, but if you just did something similar for civilian power, I believe you could capture both economies of scale and economies of mass production. For decarbonizing the world very rapidly, this would be my going-in plan (if I could choose).

Nuclear success stories are stories of standardization of design and repetition. Most of the boondoggles are first-of-a-kind or first-in-2-decades builds.
I agree it would be cool that Pantone will publish their research but I gotta say those colours selections tend to be pretty accurate: they highlight ongoing colour trends rather than creating ones
> accepting the world for what it is

That's impossible for anyone in the world.

A pessimist and an optimist will probably consider various interpretations as realistic, yet neither will see the world "as it is".

Even just the idea of the world as something that can be seen, thought of, considered, described etc. is squeezing it through a very human-shaped filter, and what you get out of the other end is always more about us than about the world.
To my knowledge, the reason why Thorium reactors have never been pursued is because there is no way to weaponise them.

I’m glad someone is talking about new possibilities of carbon free power generation.
As Douglas Adams said in The Hitchhiker’s Guide: “ Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

> there have been accidents, but they were all preventable if people

You can always spot the nuclear apologist because they gloss over the intractable people issues with managing reactors for literally decades without a single lapse.

I think nuclear history has amply shown that people cannot be trusted to manage reactors.

The horrible reality we're now facing is that once you build a reactor, political forces force re-certification decades beyond their original design - regardless of the interior condition of the reactor.

At the moment of reckoning when a reactor must finally be shutdown, you can bet a swift bankruptcy followed by skyrocketing local electricity rates.
Add to the opportunity cost that you often actually learn pretty much nothing in school.
I can only say that I pretty much don't care about folks from my schools, with very few exceptions (say one or two persons).

And it's an arbitrary cohort of same-age kids. Whereas for example my friends in the neighborhood all were of different ages. Not very different, but still.
One reason for that, historically in the US (and probably everywhere else) is that parents would pull kids out of school for weeks to 'do chores around the farm'. They'd fall behind their classmates. Guess who was expected to fix that.

Parents who think education is worthless breed kids who fulfill that prophecy. Reap what you sow.

There is just so much we don’t understand about the global climate to think this sort of solution is a good idea. I’ll start taking the geoengineering people seriously when they can accurately predict the weather one month from now.
The "one neat trick" that galls me even more is that when you did book a property you sometimes get spam that prices in Middleofnowhere just went down.

While not being able to prove it I'm almost 100% certain that this is a bold faced lie.

Why?

I booked a hotel maybe a week in advance in Sapporo in the middle of Golden Week[1]. Probably on the same day I received that slimy spam that "Prices in Sapporo just went down".

I think that's a lie because prices in Japan during Golden Week don't go down; never ever! Demand is so high during that time that this is just not believable in any way, shape or form.

Why slimey you ask? I think it's really shitty behavior by booking.com just having sold a property to then turn around trying to get me to cancel that property and book something apparently cheaper. I totally get why hotels hate booking.com with a vengeance when they use such scummy tactics against those entities they make their money from.

And I agree: The actual service works and is pretty good and they shouldn't need to hit you with tactics that are not that far off from that Nigerian gentleman who has a cool few million for you.

The Fukushima nuclear disaster came close to forcing the Japanese Prime Minister to shut down and evacuate Tokyo. [1]

Also, you are making an error in how you calculate risk. It's not just how many fatalities are caused by each source of risk on an annual basis. It's also how much potential a risk-source has to scale. Nuclear can potentially scale into causing a massive number of fatalities and that is why people, correctly, identify it as a serious source of risk.

I can only see 1,209 repos after using Crystal for close to a year, some are no longer maintained.

There are lacking of stories around the cloud computing or any large businesses has success with Crystal. They need more of those to gain support if they don’t want to remain in “uncharted territory” which mentioned in their interview.

2. This 58%, the global third party sales were $160bn

3. Amazon charged a whopping $43bn in fees for this. That's 27%... and it is still worth sellers to use the Amazon platform.

So to fix systemic inequalities for some groups, we're going to increase systemic inequality for certain other groups?

Definitely a step in the wrong direction as it's just going to swing hatred back the other way. And N-levels later of this "fiddling" you'll end up in a spot where neither side can reconcile with the other because each side has legitimate reasons to feel slighted and no one can look past that "hatred". Just look at the mess that is currently in the middle-east after people "fiddled", and then "fiddled" again to try fix it.

Being realistic is not an alternative to optimism or pessimism though.

A pessimist cynic will say "that's just the way it is" for example.

Additionally pessimism and optimism are mainly about thinking about the future rather than objective state of now.

Perhaps it's stocism that's a more fitting alternative.

Does booking.com have any customer service worth the name?

I use them sometimes, but from a company with such aggressive / dishonest marketing I would generally not expect any customer service worth the name. IIRC their terms and conditions exclude all responsibility whatsoever if the reservation does not work out, It's always the hotel's responsibility.

Luckily I have never had a case where I would have really had to contact their support.
