No mention that e-scooters lack braking power to be safe. Many only have a rear brake, which is much less efficient than a front brake for stopping, for any vehicle. But having a front brake on a scooter would be very unsafe as well, because it would be too easy to flip over the front wheel. E-scooters cannot be made safe beyond 10mph/15kph.

The question is: how do we change this?

There are advantages to the subscription model for businesses and there are situations where the subscription model is advantageous for consumers. The problem for consumers arises when they have a long term interest in a product. That is the case where they are forever in debt.

Since the article is about Apple, consider the iPhone verses the Macintosh.

For the past decade, the subscription model has (arguably) be advantageous to both parties in the case of the iPhone. The improvements in performance and features means that any given device is a short-term investment rather than a long one. While it probably costs more using a subscription model, the difference is not going to be large unless you are an outlier.

Apple's computers are a different issue. Features and performance have been relatively stable for a long time, while being sufficient for most everyday tasks. The initial cost is also somewhat higher in most cases. It is reasonable to expect the consumer to see a Macintosh as a long term investment. In spite of this, Apple has taken clear actions to move the Macintosh towards a subscription model by following the same approach as the iPhone.

Given the two scenarios, one of which can be seen in favor of consumers and one of which a detriment, I am hesitant to suggest legislating away the subscription model.

The problem comes down to ensuring choice. A consistent revenue stream is a huge incentive for businesses. Concealing long-term costs also works to their advantage. Once the practice becomes established in an industry, it is going to be difficult to compete against it.

haha! Former hotshot Flash ActionScript 3 Ninja Developer reporting for duty as requested.

Seriously though, JSX and TypeScript are nothing new. Both were part of ActionScript 3, a big language backed by a powerful company (Adobe). 15 years later, nobody even remembers it existed. How am I still making a comfortable living coding today? By not getting too attached to any language or framework... they are all just tools in the end.

So let the young ones be, time will eventually teach them those lessons, sooner than they think.

Holy hell, it's the missing companion for Hippie Expand! For non-emacsers, hippie-expand completes the word you're typing by throwing a bunch of heuristics at it, most notable of which is "search this and every other opened buffer for the last few things before the cursor, and see if this produces a completion".

(A funny side effect of this heuristic is that it essentially behaves like a Markov chain. If you have it bound to a key, say M-/, then you can type a starting word and repeatedly press "M-/ Space", and it'll start generating text based on what you have in your open buffers.)

I am too a bit concerned about corona, but its hard to judge how dangerous it is as long as all info goes through Chinese filter (Chinese gov prevents any outside help so they can have as much control over the PR as they can).

The cases in other countries are still too small to get a definitive answer, if this is something scary or not. All we can do is wait and see.

If I have $200 to spend on a phone, I will not buy a low-end 2019 $200 phone.

I will buy a used (or new-old-stock) flagship that was $700 when it came out a few years ago, and is now $200 on the used market.

The older flagship will have similar specs to today's low-end junk, but also all the enthusiast support, better accessory availability, and probably better build quality overall, because it was originally intended to be the highest of the high-end.
I think we also should be more clear with "10 Users". What does he/she mean? What do we mean?

It could be 10 users that each views a few web pages once every month or it could be 10 heavy users for an internal system that uses the system most of the working day and creates thousands of calls per user to the system each day.

It is as a lot of people have mentioned also very different with information that can be easily cached and things like monetary transactions where you don't want to see old data in reads and therefore often can't cache or use read replica db.

For systems with heavy users I have seen the need to use a few servers even with just 1000 - 2000 users. For a web system the same can happen if you have 1000 users active on the site at the same time (within a minute or so).

I think you would miss a lot of important things with this approach. You’re basically asking other people to take the entire initiative to raise problems, which will only work for things they are 100% comfortable bringing up with you, and which they feel is in their interest for you to know about.
I completely disagree with this; gut feeling is how we are scared of unusually silent alleys, gut feeling is how some people just have the wrong smile and look scary, gut feeling is how we perceive the infinite complexity of the human experience.

It is wrong to codify gut feelings into objective rules ("smiling too much is now a crime" obviously does not work). We should also strive not to be dominated by our gut feeling and to be self critical of how appropriate they are in any given situation.

Sometimes the rational position is to realize that strict rationality is not the perfect solution to every problem.

TFA actually presents evidence that there's a productivity hit.
As a frequent business traveler, airport transportation is my primary use of Uber/Lyft.

It would be a lot higher percentage if I didn't just use a pre-arranged private car for my home airport. (I live far enough outside the city that Ubers for early-morning pickups, especially for an hour drive into the city, are very thin on the ground.) It would probably also be higher if fewer cities I traveled to had decent transit in from the airports.

But, otherwise, I have pretty much zero reason to use Uber/Lyft/taxis day-to-day.

I spend a few thousand dollars a year on airport transportation but very little of that goes to Uber.

Clearly, you just memorise / know everything. Jokes aside, there is a balance to be had between having to look up trivial, everyday things via intellisense, and expecting people to know every single method on a massive set of libraries. I'm always surprised by people who claim that the latter approach is a good investment of their time and mental capacity. At some scale, it simply cannot be optimal.
I'm kind of surprised this is downvoted. There are definitely companies out there that chose Angular because it enforces writing code within the framework's style. It feels like bowling with the guard rails on, and if your team leans junior, it seems sensible to opt for that choice.

I'm not saying I personally agree with the decision, but I could see how management might conclude to chose Angular with that rationale.
No, Poland, sorry.
what do you mean "understand hardware"? there are a variety of levels of understanding.... if you want to design circuits, there are some great texts out there. If you want to know enough to build your own computer, that is not terribly difficult. Could you be more specific in your question?
Some wavelet formats (SPIHT and EZW e.g) have the property that truncating the lossless version at 10% of the size gives you the 10:1 lossy rendering of that picture. That property holds not just for 10% but for any fraction of the file.

It's not quite the same thing, but a very highly compressed high-res picture would probably look okay in thumbnail format.

Small sample sizes are much more likely to produce extreme results, because it's easier to get an extreme result by chance. In the US, the highest rates of cancer occur in the most rural counties. So do the lowest rates of cancer.

Think about it like grabbing from a giant bag of M&M's. The fewer you select, the higher the chances your results will be skewed towards one color.
It can really go either way. But the numbers in other countries keep growing as well (although very slowly at the moment). But in the same vein you have to think that in China itself it also started as slowly.

We might be screening at airports etc, but the long 2 week incubation period along with the lack of valid information about the virus (regarding its early detectability, spread etc) might be inflating our sense of comfort.

I'm as confident that there isn't an invisible, indetectable pink unicorn standing behind me as I am that someone has written multiple complex and bug-free applications working only from their memory of a language and codebase. Not even Don Knuth is that much of a savant.

At the very least, the quality of such code should be self-evident and instructive.
I don’t think this is true.
I think if I want to solve a problem, intellisense already became a requirement for me, since it does increase speed and I would say that this helps "fluidity".

I see some other side effects though and that regards labeling. I spend much less time on thinking about fitting ones since they would be auto-completed on later use anyway. If I don't have intellisense available I spend more time on thinking about names just because I need to remember them. That makes the code much more readable in some cases.

Exploring APIs can be much more enjoyable if you have it and there is no thorough documentation available on the other hand.

Still, some projects have a lot of constants and variables, so in that case it really helps.
Yep, and JetBrains has a pricing structure to roughly represent that. Individual license for intellij is $150. Organization license is $500.

One of the comments to the article is really interesting. The recent Meltdown stuff has really blown up the cost of privilege transitions, because now people expect non-architectural data not to leak across privilege boundaries. System calls are about twice as slow as they used to be. Meanwhile, I/O is faster than ever, with PCIE and NVME. Io_uring offers the opportunity to avoid privilege transitions through asynchronous calls based on writing to a memory buffer shared between user space and the kernel. That has the potential for fundamentally changing the basis system call interface. As the article hints at, the trick is designing the API so you can construct as large a block of work to be done asynchronously as possible. At the limit, you could really push down the core of your I/O loop into the kernel, hence the suggestions that BPF programs could be submitted through the ring to chain operations all within the kernel.

(Incidentally, this is a good illustration of the flexibility of UNIX’s model of describing everything with a file descriptor. The same interface meant for asynchronous file I/O was easily extended to network I/O.)

From the links on your profile it seems you live in NL. You can still freelance for SV/LA startups? Interesting, as when I searched for remote positions in those companies, almost all of them didn't seem to allow non-US remote work. How do you cope with the time difference? Is the pay closer to SV/LA levels or closer to NL levels?
I hope you realize that with the exception of freescale, there are no phone and tablet devices where the vendor actually cooperate and does that. Many of the devices that are documented are because of the open source community that actually bother to dig in and do this (without any vendor support).

That means there is no Android or Apple device on the market today that accomplishes what you say.

The only phones that are out there that can do that are the Pinephone and Librem 5. I have beta devices of both, and while I am extremely excited to see them mature and turn into daily drivers, the fact is neither can actually be a daily driver today.
Hi kantord, congratulations on the site! I tried something similar about 10 years ago, called wikibabel. I then joined with another site called wikiotics.org. We were very focused on libre everything. In the end, we gave up after several years, but our content is still up and we've been looking for a new home for it. Please take a look and see if any of it would be useful for you (we had built a bunch of cards very similar to your demo lesson). We had stuff in a few dozen languages, including audio recordings (mostly of low quality). I've moved on, but I still love the goal, and would be happy to share some feedback on the experience if you want (contact on my profile page).

In short:

- focus on what the user wants, not the tech.

- is English->Spanish the best language pair to start with? You're directly competing with the giants like Duolingo. I tried to learn Burmese a few years back, I would have loved to find something like this for that niche.

Good luck!
> "relatively sane" because this isn't really asynchronous

What's your criteria for "really asynchronous"?

> it's just make-believe with a kernel-managed thread pool

To the extent that io_uring uses anything resembling a thread pool, it seems to me that it is used completely differently from how a userspace AIO thread pool operates. When a userspace AIO implementation submits IO to the kernel, it does so with a blocking syscall and that thread stalls until that IO is complete. That means the number of outstanding IOs is limited by the number of threads in the pool. I don't see any such limitation in using io_uring to deliver IO requests to the block layer.
