Even with a lot of knowledge, I suspect a lot of this still took a lot of trial-and-error. For example:

> Turns out that besides the obvious minimum that a managed developer would expect, there’s also a minimum that the CoreRT compiler needs to compile the input.
> Let’s skip to the chase and add what’s needed:

There's under a hundred lines here, but figuring it out by (re)running the compiler to get one error at a time would probably take a few hours.

If the author happens to read this: How long did it take to figure this all out? And great job!

I'll definitely be referring back to this for some upcoming work I'm doing where minimizing the footprint would be useful (not to this extreme of course but there's some gems in here for sure).
Probably it would have been okay if he'd found an editor who knew how to use a text editor and Git.
Morning may be a convenient time for some people from a schedule perspective, but cortisol is very high when waking and decreases throughout the day. Not only is cortisol catabolic, it can increase the chance of injury during a workout. ~6 hours after waking is supposedly optimal, as your cortisol has dropped off since waking and your testosterone starts to peak -- this affects muscle protein synthesis. With that being said, exercising is often better than not exercising.
This is exactly why I want one, and I’ve been close to ordering a Model 3 several times now. But it seems like each time, I hear a horror story from a friend with a Tesla: random stuff breaking, bad service experiences, weird behaviors. Just last month a coworker had the brakes fail on her day-old Model 3.

I bought a used Nissan Leaf 3 years ago and haven’t had a single thing go wrong with it. I’m afraid to give up the reliability of a more conventional car to drive “the future.”

It is telling, however, that pretty much everyone I know with a Tesla (including the ones who have had problems) love it and don’t regret their decision to buy it.
The SEC publicly sued over this tweet, and basically lost. All they got out of it was the new agreement that makes the previous agreement clearer. Not the sort of punishment they were asking for.

This is all a matter of public record, it was not handled behind closed doors.
Germany has some of the strongest labor unions in the western world. I'd not be surprised if the answer is in fact, yes.
counting the number of inversions of a sequence in O(n \lg n) time

Counting inversions is equivalent to sorting. That's why it's 0(n log n). Any sorting algorithm can become an inversion counting algorithm by incrementing a counter instead of rearranging the input values. Inversions are the first topic in The Art of Computer Programming Chapter 5. Very much worth reading if you dig this stuff.
Interesting that we compare Tesla to Apple. We don't know who they (Tesla) are because the normal thinking is that they are a car company.

I would consider them in competition with Uber/Waymo/etc moreso than in competition with Ford. There auto summons is something I've not seen in any other car. The ability to detect street signs, cones, people, bikes, etc via visualizations is impressive considering they are using just cameras.

They are a technology compnany, and there platform is a car not your phone.
That is fair.

The Book of Bad Arguments[1] is a great way for a total beginner to get familiar with informal fallacies.

After that, I recommend jumping to basic symbolic logic. I tried several books on the subject, and found an excellent free resource that is not well know: Introduction to Logic[2], by professor Gary Hardegree. I was so grateful for this material that I even sent him an email to thank him for it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Now you'll have acquired have a firmer grasp of how arguments work, and will also be able to understand at least some of the logical notation used in the SEP, Wikipedia, etc. Unless you wish to acquire comprehensive philosophical knowledge (something that takes many years of continuous effort), browsing IEP[3] and SEP[4] for subjects you're interested in can be a rewarding experience. SEPs search feature may not be Google, but it's pretty good. I tend to use IEP or Wikipedia to get an overview, and only go to SEP if I'm feeling fancy.

I believe ObjC and Swift on 64bit machines use the upper section of the pointers to store reference counts. I'd guess that Android Java uses pointer compression like normal Java does, though I don't know for certain.

The 64bit transition on ARM also allowed an arch overhaul, with extra registers etc. ARMv8 cores were usually a good bit faster than their immediate predecessors, but it wasn't much to do with 64bitness. This also happened with x86, of course.
It's because they learned from how other dotcoms failed to capitalize on acquisitions by plastering their brand all over them and making them an appendix of the mothership, that would then usually wither and die.

The most lucrative decision that Facebook ever made was not messing with Instagram, but keeping it as its own separate brand. And with that goes that it should have its own visual identity. Then they just applied the same thinking on several of their other properties.

In The Netherlands which is the biking Mecca of the world, last year more than 400,000 e-bikes were sold. It helps that the cities hundreds of years ago were designed for horses and not for cars. Notably a lot of elderly use e-bikes which not only keeps them fit but notably increases the range that they travel.
Actually it _is_ up to you; put up or shut up is a fairly well-known principle. Find the backdoor and make yourself famous, or continue to whine and listen to everyone laugh.

I left FB because it was getting too creepy and I would not trust 99% of FB dev with a single shred of my personal info, but the code is right there for you and people who actually have skills to disassemble and examine. They are under no obligation to do your work for you and the people who can actually do the work make good money so maybe you will learn a useful skill or two.
I don't buy the gas savings argument. Sure it lowers the TCO over the future years, but the buyer is paying a premium up front to get those savings. Financial incentives certainly lower the up front cost and are fine in this context IMO.

Recently the head of the Oklahoma Surgical Center was on [econtalk](https://www.econtalk.org/keith-smith-on-free-market-health-c...). That center was founded in the late 90s, had all their prices on their website, no insurance works with them and get their prices are effectively lower our equal to what they were twenty years ago and lower than at a regular hospital. On top of that the doctors make more when they work for this center than anywhere else.

One thing I learned from the episode is that insurance companies get a reward for the delta between their negotiated price and the price a uninsured person would pay. This creates incentive for hospitals to raise their base price tag. Of course their is more to it. I cannot recommend the episode strong enough.

To me the bottom line is that right now we don't have free market health care and we don't have socialized health care we have the worst of both. Maybe what we have is best received as crony capitalism health care.

Taking a look at their website and just seeing the prices for procedures is incredibly refreshing: https://surgerycenterok.com/pricing
They've moved the goalpost from this to "the deaths are statistically insignificant".

What we need is a compiler flag that says, "give me the good parts of C++11/14, but leave out the bad stuff from C++98, and fix some of the inconsistency quirks from trying to be compatible with C89".
We need to figure out how to do business as usual at 2t/year per person. Nothing else will work. Carbon neutral flights are potentially possible.
“If only C had those how safer it would be!”

Indeed it would be, because then no-one would want to use C.

All languages are abstractions, but there are good abstractions and there are bad abstractions, and a truly depressing number of Swift abstractions fall firmly in the “not good” camp.

A well-designed type system abstraction would support and encourage free and open-ended composition of clearly-defined individual orthogonal concerns. Thus mutability would be a composable trait, `Mutable<Pointer<…>>`, untyped would just be `Pointer` without a constaint (Void being the default), and buffers would likewise be expressed via constraint, `Pointer<Buffer<TYPE,COUNT>>`. But Swift’s type system was designed by amateurs; its inconsistencies and lack of expressivity resulting in a stdlib that’s a bloated convoluted mess as it struggles around those limitations. (Makes even Ruby’s stdlib APIs look clean, consistent, and concise!)

Deals are context dependent. This should read "a deal breaker for <someone>". Clearly it's not a deal breaker for you, which is fine. Could very well be a deal breaker for someone else.

Since the article is written in a generic programming language, not a DSL, and has the math derivation and notes on performance, maybe you got confused about what this is? It’s not code golf, it’s demonstrating that this algorithm for terrain rendering is fundamentally expressable in a small amount of code.

> To whit: there’s absolutely nothing preventing anybody whipping together a de facto DSL

That’s true, but that’s not what happened here, the author did not write a DSL, so this is not a valid example of your first sentence. As such, your phrase ‘to whit’ is misused, the phrase is synonymous with ‘specifically’. Also just FYI it’s spelled ‘to wit’.
Where do your predictions about Australia come from? Do you currently live thee?
I posted a link in a parallel thread to a surgical center that has all their prices on their website. Insurance companies refuse to work with them, supposedly for the reasons you state. So you are correct.
When I was younger, I imagined there would come along a true language that would solve my problems.

It took me a long time (and a lot of banging my head into bad environments) to realize that language matters a lot less when the IDE is well-configured and fluent with what I want to do, the toolchain allows for experimentation without ruining the ability to do large, collaborative work, and both debugging and profiling are possible. And those are things you can't really add to a language environment when the language itself (spec and implementation) is constantly in flux.

Maybe a language will appear one day that renders all those tools obsolete, but we still evaluate and run code on real machines and it's still written by human beings so I sincerely doubt it.

Let's say you start a power company in the same area as I, a public power utility.

The board of utilities says that as a regulated monopoly I have to provide power to every parcel within the regulated area.

I charge more than the average cost+ rate so that, on the whole, the denser areas that require less infrastructure can subsidize the less dense rural areas where individuals may require kilometers of dedicated transmission line to service their location.

But you come along and charge less (or give power away), but you only do so in areas where it is either profitable or minimally loss-making.

>but Spooner dropped his rates even lower -- delivering many letters for free.

And you don't do this to run a competing enterprise, but to make a socio-economic/political point.

So all of my customers in the limited areas that you serve, naturally, switch to you.

But the areas you choose to serve, the densely-populated ones, are the areas that I need to fulfill my mission of delivering electricity to everyone.

No longer able to subsidize sparsely-populated areas, I either have to raise rates or give up.

"Well that's just the free market" is baloney. A utility's purpose is to serve its population.

A mail service's purpose is to deliver letters to everyone.

In countries where postal service is "privatized" there is still only one letter delivery service-- it's just run by a board instead of the government.

And those "privatized" postal services still have a universal service mandate, required by the law that privatized the formally nationalized entities.

As an aside, the UK's Royal Mail was privatized a couple of years ago. It was sold off at bargain-basement prices, ripping off the taxpayers, to investors who just happened, coincidentally, to be donors to politicians who were in charge at the time. Its "universal service" mandate expires next year.

We'll see how the FrEe MaRkEt handles universal service when not forced to by law.

The American Letter Mail Company wasn't competition. It was a vanity project launched for political purposes that wasn't even in the same game as the USPO, much less in competition with it.
Yes, yes they did. The extended dry period meant that fuel reduction efforts were hampered all year round. This caused the intensity and increased destruction of the fires.
Because even if you could buy billing.info it would get blocked pretty quickly.
The same thing would have happened with high prices for generators. It might not have been this particular guy, but someone would have done the same thing, regardless of the price of the generators.

The price only gates off who can do such a thing.

> Rising prices bring in supply.

Supply chains are not so flexible that they can react appropriately to such sudden spikes in demand, no matter the price set. See the recent debacle around video cards and crypto currencies. The insanely high prices set by first party suppliers couldn't stop them from being constantly sold out.

It also didn't result in increased production of video cards, since the companies (correctly) predicted that the demand would not last. Prices were never driven down below their pre-crypto levels.

In the end, the only effect is that an average person was unable to obtain a video card at an affordable price for a year or so.
Yes I know.

Back in Windows 98 days there was 98lite project, that allowed to customize Windows 98 components, even replace explorer.exe with one from Windows 95. Smallest version was just under 50MB.

I don't see electric cars becoming the norm on the roads, but definitely for new cars, yes.

It will take some time though to replace the majority of existing cars working with fuel.
I guess the parents point might be that the price of soy bean then wouldn't have been a good bet, because any benefits from the shortage of animal proteins would surely have been un-done by the fact much less feed would have been purchased (for obvious reasons)? Demand may not really have risen.
You can literally hit the tactile knob on the right of the steering wheel and say, "Turn the heat up to 65" and it will do this. You can say this while keeping your eyes on the road. You can turn up the volume with the left tactile knob on the left side of the steering wheel. The headlights are automatic. Amusingly, you can also say, "My butt is cold" and it will turn on the seat heater in your seat.

Tesla allows you to do all three of the things you stated while keeping your eyes on the road. I can do these things in my Model 3 today.

There is no indication in that post, that he was denied entry, simply that he was denied ESTA.

Some countries nationals are allowed travel by ESTA (such as mine, the UK) but certain conditions preclude it, so you apply for a visa, which is what he is in the process of doing during that post.
Every time I go into one now I am shocked at how much open space there is on the floor and the shelves. It is super depressing. I have been seeing this for the last year or so at the San Marcos store near where I live. Frys has been going downhill for years though. But I mostly notice this empty space in the areas where they sold toys or books. The super technical areas of the store are still fully stocked where they sell CPUs or computer cases or motherboards.

I ebike 20 miles for work every day and live it.

I don’t use my ebike for small errands because it’s too easy to just rip expensive stuff off of it while locked up.

Also, the picture shows a rider with no helmet which is insane. I wear a motorcycle helmet and leathers. The speed limit for ebikes on roads in CA is 28, which is deadly with even a normal bike helmet.

Finally the article says that the new models are lighter because they’ve integrated battery in frames.

Totally false, the weight is not significantly lower and the in-frame battery means when your battery wears out in 3-10 years, you’ll have to pay the maker to replace it if it’s possible at all.

Sounds like the type of creep that naturally occurs after a company has existed for a long time. They offer higher level titles so they can recruit people with experience who want a move upwards when really all that changes is their title. Look at banks where President and Vice President are so over used that basically every relationship manager is called a "VP" even though they have no reports.
I don't understand this gap issue.

Japan, CEO gets paid $1 million a year. Engineer makes $60k

USA, CEO gets paid $100 million a year. Engineer makes $300k

I much prefer the higher paid CEO as he's paying me 5x what my Japanese counterpart gets paid.

On top of which in Japan I have to grovel up to my CEO and speak to them like royalty using super groveling language where as the CEO in the USA can call by their first name and treat them as just another person.

Ironic how you advertise a solution for GDPR compliance but your company itself is not actually compliant. Your don't seem to be using your own cookie consent solution either, and the "necessary" cookies in their is superfluous (cookies that are strictly necessary and do not contain personal data nor are used for marketing do not need usually consent - the cookie used to remember that I closed the cookie consent banner does not need consent itself).

I feel like this is yet more FUD around cookies and the GDPR. The spirit of the law is to not stalk people regardless of technical solution (so caring about cookies alone won't do anything if you or your "partners" are also using local storage or browser fingerprinting), but that's an inconvenient truth that will kill the majority of scummy online businesses today so nobody wants to admit it.
