I agree. Besides, there's a difference between "keeping up with development of technology" and between "keeping up in using it for dubious goals".
Except what every startup in Silicon Valley doesn’t seem to realize is there’s a revolving door of VC funded “businesses” that fail because they can’t make a profit after 10 years. And if they try to make a profit (for example by raising prices) users move on to the new cheap option.
Thanks for posting. This really shows the power of the English language.

I am not French, I don't live in France, I don't speak French and I am not particularly interested in tunnels or rails. And probably that's why it's the first time I hear about this. But I am not American either, and I don't live there, but I have read about the expensive few mile extension of a subway line in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the failed attempts to build a high speed train between LA and San Francisco hundreds of times.

A project of that scale in one of the largest Western capitals goes relatively unnoticed outside of France mainly because of language.

Think about what else is lost. I bet there are thousands of businesses, and lots of culture which never get noticed mainly because of language.
Here's a question I've always had: does it help if you try looking young? (e.g., be thin, dress stilishly, keep your teeth, skin, and hair in great condition, etc.) These things help in Hollywood. Do they help in Silicon Valley?

If so, I wonder what is the ROI of expertly done plastic surgery.
Clojure is a better language, and a better Lisp, and a better tool for making software, but not "really" a Lisp. If you want to learn about Lisp, I think you should zero in on Scheme, Common Lisp, and Emacs Lisp. But this of course depends on what you want.

The cons cell thing is a big deal. Cons cells are a stupid language construct. But that's baked into the identity of what Lisp is.
Well, there's the American fab we've been looking for! Samsung isn't too far behind TSMC, is it? Even if the Austin plant were a generation or two behind their Korean plants, it shouldn't be too difficult to bring it up to date -- especially if the investment will be rewarded by lucrative defense contracts. Besides, Samsung already builds a lot of military-grade stuff for the Korean government, so it's not like they lack the experience.

This sounds much easier than telling TSMC to build a whole new fab on American soil.
Yes, please! Stop that ridiculous surveillance. I am appalled at our minister of justice in Denmark that seems to see every week in power as a possibility to wreck havoc on our privacy.
There is no pro-PRC stance in Taiwan.

In fact Taiwan is split from the mainland because of the civil war between the KMT and the communists...
Not completely. I remember life before Uber and seamless. I'd just stay home and eat ramen (this is in Dallas and I didn't have a car). These businesses did genuinely create businesses and also changed lives for many by the service. That's not an excuse for such exploitative behavior of course.
That's misleading. Spec is a contract system. Read the page on the spec rationale: https://clojure.org/about/spec .
It even mentions that spec is not a type system and that spec is similar to contracts in Racket, etc.

If we look at programming languages like Java, Typescript, C++, Haskell, etc., then we see that their type systems are completely different and have an entirely different purpose. Claiming to those users that spec is a type system, is just misleading them.
No, we don't. There are tons of places right around me, in central Europe, where people will benefit greatly from Starlink. A lot of rural-based people are excitedly talking about it, even older people who you would not expect to know what it is - and they don't, but they're excited about their access to the Internet.
Licensed dispensaries in California undergo testing and inspections and have to get their products from licensed cultivators who also undergo testing and inspections. It's a regulated industry.

However, you could be driving down a major street in LA and see a highly advertised dispensary with neon lights and a guy dancing with a sign in the road, and it still could be an unlicensed dispensary.

Enforcement is practically nonexistent, but when they do crack down they like to make it a big show with a dozen cops with long arms and body armor pushing the kid at the counter working minimum wage to the ground, handcuffing everybody. Then they just fine the owner and close the store and the cuffs come off and everyone goes home. It's surreal.
Much of the side-to-side jerking is a combination of the poor suspension on the trucks (bogies) of the older Gallery train cars and fast running over track switches. The Gallery cars are the ones that look like steel toasters.

If you take a ride in one of the "newer" Bombardier cars (the octagonal ones) the ride is much smoother and the bumps are almost imperceptible with little swaying. I'd imagine the new trains post-electrification will also be much better on the suspension front.
What works for me is Solarized Light (or variants) when in a bright room or using a glossy screen. When in a dark environment or if I have access to a non glossy screen I switch to Solarized Dark. Currently the iPad is set to Grayscale mode with Night Shift On. Over the years I have now accepted that a single setting is not going to work and I need to select a handful of them to switch between.
The taxpayer is already picking up the tab with food stamps.
Acceleration/Force is easily compensated for, if its constant. For example, taking a turn or coming to a gradual stop is completely comfortable. Only the change is uncomfortable.
Why is recruitment in 2020 going to be difficult? And what can your org do?
I was hoping to learn about GPU and neural network accelerator architectures. This seems like a conspicuous absence in the course.
Starlink satellites cost < 500k each, compared to hundreds of millions for traditional sats.

If you mass produced space telescopes they wouldn't cost the ridiculous sums spent on JWST, which is a terrible example of the wasteful cost plus contracts of nasa. They've been planning it since 1996, and costs have risen from 1 billion to 10 billion.
It's not that the KMT wants to appease the PRC. Of course the KMT wishes for eventual reunification: they were kicked out of the rest of China by the communists but that does not mean that they should give up hope off regime change on the mainland.
To me, de-emphasizing handwriting seems like going with the times, where handwriting is getting more and more rare. Likewise, if spellcheck is always on in the real world, is correct spelling without it still as important as it was 50 years ago?

Society changes. Remember how we were taught that we need to know how to do math on paper because we won't always be carrying a calculator? Nowadays, it may be useful to learn it just to understand the principles behind the math, but it's a lot more useful to learn how to effectively use the calculators (and potential CAS) that we are all carrying in our pockets than to learn how to perform long division on paper.

(Long division in particular seems like one of those skills that contribute little to understanding the principles behind it and are unnecessary nowadays).

In school, I was taught how to write with various implements - had to write some things with a fountain pen, which is a 100% useless skill. A complete waste of time. What I wasn't taught is how to effectively use a keyboard, because school was too obsessed teaching us how to write with ancient instruments just because they were seen as morally superior to the easier to use modern pens.

They are not patriotic to the mainland government. There are few people in Taiwan that want reunification. Both greens and blues want to maintain autonomy, it's just the level to which they want it that differs.

We recently launched dark mode for our email building app Milliner https://www.milliner.app/.

It allows you to build dark mode optimized email, and when you preview the email in dark mode, the whole app changes to dark mode.

Because of this we use a manual toggle instead of prefers-color-scheme.

We picked the colors carefully and changed things like shadows borders etc to make the interface look great in dark mode. Although a solution like OPs could be a quick and dirty way to get a basic dark mode implemented, you'll never get your site or app looking quite as good as getting a designer to look at it.
So every single flight should cut their capacity by hundred thousand pounds, because there's a <0.001% chance it need to dump fuel?

Suppose we impose this rule. Now we will need to make up for the lost capacity by increasing the number of flights. How can that be good for the environment?
No reason to complain when you're the one picking up the unit loss, though. Might as well take it while you can.
Young people just use their motor skills differently, for example for computer games or juggling (pen spinning, cardistry). These skills are now much more available thanks to YT and Internet in general.

I think there is a good case to be made that kids actually learn much faster than ever, thanks to things like YT and Wikipedia. Before the Internet, it was very difficult to connect to really skillful people in the world, there were pockets of talent but really disconnected. If you were outside the pocket, you were pretty much screwed. Today it's not the case.

Of course you can question usefulness of the skills learned, but that is a separate question, I think. Fashion in these skills is probably faster than in the past, for better or worse.

This is an undergrad course, "200 level" in the standard course numbering (which MIT does not follow). It's for people who know how to program, but relatively new to the field. It's mostly going to be getting people used to assembly and basic computational building blocks.

I had wanted to do an analysis like this too -- had even recorded the trace of acceleration using iPhone during rides. But the main thing I thought would be useful would be to overplot the acceleration levels of other train systems in the US and Europe/Asia for comparison.

Caltrain is simply an embarrassment to ride and realize this is what the center of global tech has to put up with. I swear a visitor from any other country with a reasonable rail system would ride Caltrain and think the train was about to shake itself apart. (Yes I realize the old silver gallery cars are especially bad while the Bombardier ones are better)

Even if the gross level of shaking were resolved, Caltrain and most other trains we put up with here are so incredibly loud compared to other more advanced systems. You go to Germany, and even their subways (subways!) are so quiet as to feel self-conscious when you're talking on them. And in the meantime BART -- despite being designed well into the 2nd/3rd generation of US transit systems -- screeches along due to poor rail maintenance.
His speech was about the result of the Second World War:

> Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions.

His point wasn’t about specific instances of armaments manufacturers influencing foreign policy, it was simply about the existence of a new and vast industry permanently dedicated to manufacturing armaments.
That seems like an unfair question -- how can any city be expected to generate venture sized exits before the money even rolls in? SF/SV have generated the exits they have after decades of continued investment.
I don’t see what the security of biometrics has to do with proving you are a human for DDOS purposes..
Yes this^ please. The other way is actually risking your account being taken down for flooding the API. And if not you at least will run into getting errors because of secret limits that will be reached. obviously this is only relevant if you have a lot chats and an old account.

Telegram Desktop can export to JSON so it just a matter of importing these JSON files. It does slow down when needed but can export 1k chats in minutes if you don't export media.
We can, stop using and supporting these predatory companies.

Never use Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Uber Eats, AirBnB etc. No exception irregardless how easy or cheap it may be. It's a small sacrifice but can and will make a difference.

Using these services to me is like asking a waiter to pay for part of my meal. When it comes around to paying the bill are you able to face someone and ask them to pay for part of what they just served you knowing that they are barely making a living?
By the same mindset, you oughtn't eat healthy or exercise.

Remember, it's not only about lengthening the lifespan, but healthspan.
Eisenhower’s speech was precisely about the fact that, in conflicts before World War 2, existing manufacturers would temporarily make weapons, but that World War 2 left us with a “permanents armaments industry of vast proportions.” Literally his point is that it used to be ironmongers making weapons, but now it’s weapons manufacturers making weapons.
Who gives a shit about companies? Make them bend the knee to global needs.
These businesses are already unprofitable. So you probably couldn't have another DoorDash that pays its workers more. I suppose you could argue that some restaurants might have their own delivery services, or something. But that'd be tiny in scale compared to what these services are doing.
Australia needs to take a more enlightened attitude to the environment at home first. Just as Norway still exports a lot of oil but has the largest density of electric vehicles.

>> That's why interest rates have gone to near zero, and in some places negative. It's not working so well.

To elaborate on the great comment above -- this is not working well because it creates asset bubbles. It also makes one of the most important things people need -- homes -- inflate in value beyond reach for many.
This is a big reason why I moved from SF Bay to SE Asia (vietnam). While the language is totally impossible for me (mostly just cause I've learned ignorance is bliss), I can still learn a lot about how locals live, what's happening in the environment, cultural things, etc... my eyes have really been opened to the fact that when you stay in one place, you really miss out on larger perspectives.
I've had the same experience. About a year ago my wife and I joined a gym (again), and this time we stuck with it. One of the primary reasons we joined was to find some good back exercises to prevent us putting out our backs constantly (having 4 kids does this to you...).

I've made deadlifts my top priority, do them at least once per week without fail, and often do squats when time and energy permits. Instead of putting my back out and being crippled for a day at a time once every few months, I now live with a "positive" no pain, no gain ache in my whole body after frequent workouts, and I'm so much stronger than I was in general.

Highly recommend this approach -- just as OP said, be careful with the powerlifts and get a trainer to show you how to do them properly before you start. Injuries here can suck as much as putting your back out (or more).
> The real problem seems to be that there are so many people in need of “family feeding” jobs who are working for Door Dash etc. instead.

All jobs are basically a means for feeding your family, even if that family is just you. Few people work primarily for the fun of it.

The people taking the gig jobs to feed their families are often desperate, with few other options. They aren't taking the gig jobs by mistake. And cynically, this is the objective that our current socio economic system has been optimized for.
> This begs an obvious question: why are people choosing to do this if it pays $0/hr? It’s voluntary. Can they find something better to do with their time?

Maybe because they want to do something purposeful with their life, even if it doesn't earn them any net cash? Maybe a "Thank you" and a smile from a delivery customer makes for a better day then just being "lazy" and watching TV/consuming social media?
I thought the plan was Dumping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)

Step 1) Use VC money to subsidize the price so that the market price is below cost

Step 2) Continue to use VC money to subsidize while competitors, who don't have the same cash, lose customers and eventually contract or die off

Step 3) Once you are the only real player, use your dominant position to raise prices
I don't know about you, but some of my teachers and favorite musicians had far more of an impact on my attitudes toward the environment and having children than my parents ever did.

This fallacy that the only way to fix the world is to make kids of your own that will make it better is ridiculous.
Yes, I am aware of the direct state access extensions. It was a good step forward, but a bit too late. And it still applies only to GL objects like buffers, samplers, textures. For things like setting scissor test, blending, depth test/write, color masks, binding textures, you're back to the global state.
Having recently worked on adding dark mode to our service [0], we found that the technical implementation was pretty easy (generous use of CSS custom properties and prefers-color-scheme). The design work to make it look good, have proper contrast, etc. is much harder. The article the people at Superhuman wrote [1] is a really good resource for this.

This is how it works.

Color Schemes.
-----
The color schemes that we are gonna work on are based on the ones in Colors & Fonts. We are going to take a Design system and apply the chosen color
palette.

UI.
----
The color will be presented on a Design System including buttons, forms, inputs, and components.

Files.
---
An image will be provided to download and you will be able to copy to Figma and 8f need it the .fig comes with. Also, you get a SASS and JS file with the variables to download from GitHub if you want to implement the colors right away.

I hope the color palettes are worth it for you guys.

Funny, I hate the BART screeches so much that I consider Caltrain great in comparison. Guess I'm in blissful ignorance of what is possible. Hopefully the switch to electric trains in a decade will make Caltrain better.
I understand what you mean, but your GKE instances probably can be logged onto: `gcloud compute ssh --zone=<node-zone> <node-name>`

Both COS and Ubuntu nodes are integrated with IAM, so this transparently provisions a user on the node, and copies a temporary SSH key. If your GCP user has the appropriate IAM permissions, they will also be able to use `sudo` to execute commands as root.
You probably heard before that large forests alter the weather around them. This is no exaggeration. Deserts are locked in a state of infertility because ay rain that falls quickly washes away, taking with it any top soil. So first you big holes to trap water underground, then you let the biomass build up some top soil, then you plant trees. When you have enough trees, they start pulling water from underground into the air, increasing moisture and starting a positive feedback loop. Then you start expanding into the surrounding desert areas. It's a lot of work, but possible, and being done.
Very nice, David and William.

I was also able to get to about a 2 second solution, but I didn't have to do bit operations: https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/norvig/pytudes/blob/mast...
> Modulate the CPU temperature by running code. The OS decodes the signal. Use message passing that involves OFDM, LDPC, ASN.1, and digital signatures.

I like how you mixed this in with real suggestions.
(A bit of research later:) It's actually a bit of a mixed bag. The "Operating System Reference Manual for the Lisa" [0] reads on pp. 1-3/1-4:

> Several processes can exist at one time, and they appear to run simultaneously because the CPU is multiplexed among them. The scheduler decides what process should use the CPU at any one time. It uses a generally non-preemptive scheduling algorithm. This means that a process wlll not lose the CPU unless it blocks. (…)

> A process can lose the CPU when one of the following happens:

> • The process calls an Operating System procedure or function.

> • The process references one of its code segments that is not currently in memory.

> If neither of these occur, the process will not lose the CPU.

In other words, non-preemptive, unless the OS becomes the foreground process, in which case it may block the active process in favor of another one currently in ready or blocked state.

country == government? older-generation == most? In fact all of the comments under this is equating these 2 things and I'm puzzled.
I get that Lisp is popular because of its meta-programming abilities, ie its macro system. And the reasoning was that you didn’t have to wait for the language writers to implement the feature you wanted, since you could implement it yourself as a macro.

But this presented other problems, namely that you might end up coding your libraries on an island, and no one else could understand your code. This is probably why Lisp is mostly more powerful when there is only one or a few programmers working on the code base.

But with the increase in other programming languages, and the massive amounts of other libraries out there, then is this macro system really all that necessary anymore?
Haha cool! I'm on puzzle 5 with a lousy record, thanks for the fun.
>5 to 7 minutes for recharging

The article is light on specifics but this stood out to me, most Tesla's take longer to charge. I'd imagine an aircraft would need more power than a Tesla, so how are they transferring energy so fast that automobiles can't do it but aircraft can?
