I agree with this, although I think it was a conscious and deliberate choice with TF 2.0. We have given up on TF for all future work which is sad since I really appreciate a number of the pieces that surround the core. I think they made a choice to emphasize the support of already developed models and make the experience great for novices will be a decision that they will come to regret. We found so many issues when we tried to port some of our existing models to TF 2.0. The sad part was that there were GitHub issues for all of them.

Personally I think Tensorflow has already lost and we just need to let it play out over the next few years. One interesting wrinkle is that since Trax, Jax and Flax utilize pieces of Tensorflow the TF team can probably claim good internal adoption numbers depending on how they count.

> Yet most cars you buy today don't even have Wifi (...). There's no API for controlling them apart from a CAN bus which is barely documented, not wireless, not routable over networks, can't even deliver video feeds, and dates from 1986.

On the one hand - and thank God; routing car controls over networks by default sounds like a tremendously bad idea.

On the other hand - while a lucky accident in case of cars, modern electronic devices also don't have these, but for different reasons. When was the last time you could make your phone call people and send text messages over wireless connection, via an API built into the phone? Last time I remember being able to easily do it was in the feature phone era.

Modern hardware is increasingly controllable through hidden, restricted, undocumented APIs, or public APIs that require installing third-party software, go through third-party servers, and involve signing some contract or accepting some ToS. That same API-providing-software then proceeds to exfiltrate any and all data it can get its hands on. I do not want any of that in a car.
Maybe, but there are fewer planes...
Chicago > LA flights look like they take 5h (time on the plane.) Add the time to go through the security theater, transfers from and to the airport, and you're not that far off from how long it would take by train.

I'm not even considering the delays because of weather, technical, etc.

Trains don't have as much potential for being delayed (train schedules have a lot less variance because the track is pretty much fixed and the timetables too), and they take you right from the city center to the destination's city center.

Comfort doesn't compare either, you don't have to pay extra so you can actually sit down like a human being and retain your dignity.

And if the trains were electric instead of diesel like they are in the US, I wouldn't be surprised if it was also cheaper than flying.

As a counterexample to China, Switzerland has an amazing rail network. Trains going from anywhere to anywhere, comfortably, reliably, quickly, and multiple times a day. And yet, the country is very mountainous, and has lots and lots of smaller cities.
You are really just talking about your preferences as if they are scientific absolutes. It depends on your eyes including the amount of floaters you have and how imperfect the lens of your eye is away from its centre, the lighting conditions of your room, your monitor, your taste.

I am not sure exactly when the recent trend towards dark editor themes started but I wonder if it was around the same time that WLED LCD backlighting took over? I love white themes on my CFL monitor but not so much on my WLED laptop.

I also think maybe many people started preferring dark colour schemes because colours pop and look more saturated against black, and so it looks better in screenshots etc.

I keep hearing people talk about fit and finish problems with Tesla vehicles, but I simply don't see it. I was so paranoid when I took delivery of mine that I literally brought a measuring tape. They've long since fixed the body panel problems and it manifested itself more with older Model S/X and the very first batch of Model 3s. This "problem" is pretty much gone, and this argument is like beating a dead horse.

I had the same, but recently I just created my own personal site for my notes. The main benefit that I did not expect is that, in theory, everyone can see it. This causes me to put more work into a note:

* To make sure that it actually is correct. Multiple times I discovered when reading the documentation that I only had guessed it sort of right and that there were some key bits of info that I had missed.

* To make sure that it is complete and that it gives just enough background information for those who want to use it without being in the exact situation that I was in. I.e. for myself in a couple of weeks/months.

There are more benefits. Like being able to structure it exactly the way you like it with links, tags, search, etc. And that you can show it casually to potential employers, who won't read a letter of it, but they can see that you actually put in work and understand some topics. This last point can also work for friends and colleagues.

Absolutely, scaling is one of the imho two keys here: As per [1], in 2019 Tesla sold 158k Model 3 in the US (pop ~329M). Local news[2] said VW sold 204k Golf in 2019, in Germany (pop ~83M), and they have many more well selling cars on the SAME platform across multiple brands.

2nd: Car tech was traditionally slow moving, which has a lot to do with a strong focus on safety (at least from my experience with automotive customers).

Here's a SourceForge project I found that is the open source version of Meme:

>A Bit of History

>Though some of the folks associated with this project in the past may not know me, I have been a small part of it since it was first imagined. Marc deGroot and I had a long history.

>The idea for VR and Metatopia was originally devised in a Berkeley attic by Marc and me. Since Marc’s untimely death, the project has lied dormant. After I found out about Marcs death, and the existence of Metatopia I decided that it was high time I took an interest in what was originally my brain child. Yes, my brainchild. I did authorize Marc to pursue the concept with my complete blessing. Now, Grandpa is back in charge. It is in loving memory of a man I knew since I was barely a teenager, a man who first launched my career in computing, a man who was a friend, that I rededicate this project to Marc deGroot.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US6421047B1/en

>Multi-user virtual reality system for simulating a three-dimensional environment

>Abstract: A computer-implemented multi-user virtual reality system that erects a networked virtual world for real time interaction amongst multiple participants. A computer-simulation of an animated world is network-distributed amongst participants, e.g., as a virtual world. The simulation accommodates multiple users whose computers are connected by a communications network. The users' computers need not be the same type of machine. Users can interact with one another and with the objects in the virtual world. The properties of objects in the virtual world, such as form, color, and behavior, are displayed on monitors and can be modified in real time while the simulation is running. Modifications to objects are stored and therefore persist, and can therefore bridge across computer system shutdowns and restarts.
It feels to me like there is a symmetry of arrogance here.

Not necessarily fucked. If you want the authority to be able to handle that scenario, then you can give it the power to swap out the contract code. Some smart contracts on Ethereum do exactly that.

>But you were originally stating that subjunctive in French lost its semantic value. Now you making it narrow and added "compared to Spanish".

I said almost lost, and I'm choosing to believe out of charity that you didn't notice the extra word.

> But you were originally stating that subjunctive in French lost its semantic value. Now you making it narrow and added "compared to Spanish".

Yes, that's the crux of my argument, comparing use cases in French with that of other Romance languages in order to show how far the subjunctive use cases in French drifted from their original purpose and meaning. How else am I supposed to demonstrate it without a couple of reference points to compare with?

> It was meant to say that misuse of tenses and moods may alter causality and in general events chaining is not commutative (poop o wipe != wipe o poop).

I did take your point a little too literally, sorry. Still, the fact that mood and tense use across Romance languages is inconsistent, yet:

-People who speak either Romance language have no trouble distinguishing the actual from the hypothetical within their language, and

-People who speak multiple Romance languages have no trouble switching from one mood to the other according to the use case/language combination at hand,

shows how unlikely your "poop o wipe" situations are in practice. People "misuse" tenses and moods all the time (which is the prescriptive way of saying tense and mood usage evolves all the time) yet they still manage to communicate clearly somehow. This shows that these are not actually central to convey meaning and there are other avenues that do not use this system (context, adverbial cues, etc.).

>I said you can do it in any language, but the formulation at some point will become cumbersome.

Do you have any evidence for this? Like, can you showcase foreign languages that do not feature this system and whose formulation of the hypothetical would prove consistently more cumbersome and verbose than that of Romance languages? I'm not sure if you realize how far-reaching that statement is.
Yea, Tesla is selling cars sight unseen which makes minor cosmetic issues a very low priority for them. It says less about build quality than their sales model.

How can you spend $44K on a project and live off of it at the same time, in the latter case where someone handed you the money?

And if you are saving $44K per year, why can't you work for two years and then take one year off, having both $44K to live on and $44K to spend on a project?

And finally, didn't this start with a $44K loan, not a gift?

I think you’re missing the point of what consumers find valuable about Tesla cars. It’s not the body or fancy interiors.

What people forget is that, if the compiler didn't delete the null pointer checks and executed the semantics exactly as the programmer wrote them... the program is guaranteed to crash.

Most of the complaints of undefined behavior are actually people who write code with nonsense semantics, and are then surprised to find that the compiler comes out with a different nonsense semantics than what they intended.

(Bear with me, posting this from mobile)

The name "markdown" conveys styling in the opposite direction of the "markup" tag syntax. Markdown beautifies text without explicit tags, based on common practices from ASCII e-mail and plain-text documents.

"Markdeep" is farther "down" from "markdown" on the autostyling and beautification path. Markdeep combines an easy-to-use and browser-friendly packaging with new unique features such as diagrams.

"Home-cooked" software is such a perfect analogy to indie game development.

It resonates with me much more that other terms like "full stack", "Dev ops", and so on.
It nicely removes the guilt of not writing the perfect codebase, as we often have to sacrifice that in order to ship a game.

For me indie games might not be the michelin star earners some of the time, but they warm the stomach. With imperfect charm they offer the delightful experiences just like home cooked patisserie. (edit formatting)

The aftermarket filled the hole quickly and with the full range of quality available. Many people put the early "discman" portable players on the dash and used FM modulators to get that signal to the car radio.

When "factory CD" units started to appear they were multiples of the price of aftermarket units, and initially of such low quality initially that the FM modulators sounded better. The disc handling on some of the early units was ludicrous, too: "just get my CD out please" was common.

* edit: also people used "CD to cassette adapters" which are worth mentioning because of how ingenious they are. Its a headphone plug on one end and a cassette shell on the other, the headphones drive coils that excite the tape player's read head.

That's comparable to DTrace. The Solaris kernel debugger, kmdb, is something else, and really worth knowing (if only it was universally adopted by C-coded kernels!).

With kmdb you get to write shell-like pipelines using powerful data structure traversal builtins, and it is safe (you can't crash the system by dereferencing NULL pointers). Really, it's quite fantastic.
