> Elon

Obviously, it's also a good advice to be born with wealth from the blood of an emerald empire. Hyper-rational, being born wealthy. Great advice!

Kidding aside. I'm just sick of people putting people like Elon up on a pedestal. Look at all the rich, successful people out there. How many come from wealth, and how many come from dirt poor conditions and just worked themself up? Working hard is good advice, but it doesn't guarantee success, quite the contrary. A lot of successful people never worked hard a single day in their life, and billions of people work hard their whole life and never come close to the kind of success the former enjoys.

Hell, I guarantee that Elon is not even the hardest worker at his companies, even though he enjoys most of the fruit of the labour.
Great advice for the former bull market, but this could backfire in a recession. Last in, first out. Hold on to your job for dear life for the next two years.
Spam filtering is (mostly) on the receiving side. You have little control over whether or not the recipient is on Google mail. It doesn’t really matter if you send using gmail, and it might be even better for deliverability given the reputation systems in spam filtering
The fact that this so called developer doesn't understand the difference between a sender and a receiver of email makes me think there are other things in the CV that caused them to not be hired.
You can make such state cookies tamperproof with server side signing. Depending on the state in question, leaving it with the client, instead of in server storage, makes for good lifetime management. Of course, if you want the state to be synced between different clients (for a logged in user or something), you'll need to do something else.

>The relevant question for me, which I haven't seen explored in any rigorous fashion yet, is to compare the inefficiencies of the two. What are the actual costs of means-testing, and what are the actual costs of universal payouts that are partially taxed back?

Well said! It'd be great to get something like this on the books. In general, however, taxation is politically unsavory and, primarily, taxes have varying surface areas based on states' laws, so any attempt at trying to coordinate the appropriate amount of taxation would be indirect at best.

In my view, the universal-payout-and-taxback is a tarpit with no harmonious resolve, and giving money to everyone devalues currency faster than need be. It duplicates effort, and that's something to be avoided, especially at a national level where one bit of duplication is multiplied three hundred million times. Any inefficiency introduced in universal-payout-and-taxback will be egregious in the aggregate.

To me it's equivalent to saying "yeah we could experiment with a little salt in the soup, but why not just pour in the whole box of salt and see if it dilutes well." It's not our luxury to play games with our one economy, or our one currency, because irrevocable changes are irrevocable.

I wonder if the Hoover Institution would be interested in doing a cost-assesment of this make-it-rain-and-tax-it-back versus tactical-delivery. Maybe I will try and make a model just on the scale of a city or state and extrapolate from there. In general, I see devaluation of the currency because the wealthy are getting more than they need, so buying power for the bottom 50% goes down, meaning they must spend more on commodities, so there is more concentration of wealth at the top, simply exacerbating things. In other words, even if the costs are technically recoverable on the national ledger, the sociological costs of a "Universal" payout are devastating.

This isn't always true, so it's best to look at it on a case by case basis. One wouldn't suggest that Typescript coders are a product of MS.

So far, they don't seem to be treating vscode users like the product. I think they're are building out great free tooling to entice users to use their other paid services like Azure.
I'm signed up for both Stadia and Gforce Now. Both have lengthy free trials right now. They have different game libraries, so I've been switching back and forth depending on the game. I recommend both.

If you want to try the absolute smoothest user experience, give Stadia a try as it will come with a selection of free games and there's nothing to install. If you already have a large Steam library and want to play some of those games, give Geforce Now a try.

I suppose that you mean that it should be "checking types dynamically", rather than "checking dynamic types"?
I wish browsers worked in a way where placing a cookie on my computer came with a permission dialog like sending notifications, or using my location, microphone or camera does. I guess the browser could have some logic around detecting login screens, so it can tell that I just entered a username and password, so the session cookie from that site gets a pass (I think automatic popup blocking works in a similar way). Or move it up a notch, so it blanket blocks cookies anything that doesn't look like a login and shows a permission prompt only for the first time I do a login for a new site (which then gets whitelisted).

“Apple’s Files app solves mostly solves that for me.“

It’s better but it’s still riddled with arbitrary restrictions. For example when I want to watch a MKV video in iCloud I have to copy the file from iCloud to the folder of the player, then delete. Can’t open iCloud files directly with the player and can’t move either.

On the bright side I am confident by 2025 in iOS we will have the same functionality we had already thirty years ago... with the exception that every piece of software will be charged with the 30% Apple tax.

Or it's in alpha and they haven't found out yet what the feature is worth to corporate users; so they want to do that before anchoring them to a price.

Also, it might vary per account in an unpredictable way, since it's a heavyweight operation that'd cost more compute-hours when run against larger repos, but also involves static-analysis tasks that don't necessarily scale linearly with LOC. So they might just not yet have a predictive model yet for the baseline cost to them, but instead are doing a trial run for each interested user, observing the cost of the workload on their repo, and then extrapolating that out as the cost to run that workload persistently.

Either way, GitHub has been strongly on the side of "clear pricing" so far, so I doubt they would plan to leave things this way. But it's hard to get enough data for a feature like this, when you know each run you do "just to model the curve" is costing you real money.

What's your alternative theory for this object?
Hm, depends on what you need. WSL1 translates syscalls to NT, it's not a real Linux kernel, so probably no FUSE. Performance is good in general, but it's still NTFS underneath. I use it for SSH and FileZilla, with Debian. No breakage so far, even going from Debian 9 to 10.

WSL2 is basically a Linux VM on Hyper-V with some glue involved. It should be possible to make FUSE work there. I haven't really tried WSL2 yet.

You'll have to bring your own X server. I use VcXsrv.

You don't have to assume your user wants to be A/B tracked, or wants to purchase anything. You can allow the user to enable them nicely and non-intrusively without a popup. You can ask the user intrusively when they actually initiate a purchasing action.

Most sites choose do popup instead because (they think) it is more effective. So be it, but don't say it's "mandatory" or that "they are forced to".

Not really. Yes batteries add lots of weight. But electric motors have lots of torque and are known to climb hills easily. Like how Tesla’s forthcoming truck can tow up to 14000 pounds. I’m not doing the calculus, but I suspect the power characteristics of electric motors more than make up for a towable battery.

So you're from a country where tipping isn't so engrained or important. Here in the US tipping is the main way service workers make money. Most base wages are simply untenable.

Now, I'm not saying I like that, in fact I hate it. We are in essence subsidizing their employees. It definitely needs to change but please don't encourage people not to tip. There are realistic ways to get rid of tipping. Just stopping tipping isn't one of them. All your doing is hurting the little man/women. Also comparing them to beggars is pretty out of touch.

I do not know why you are getting requests to do that but keep in mind that people who are fine with your MFC applications are not going to contact you - what you are seeing is only people who have issues, not all people (EDIT: also i'm certain you can make MFC applications work in hidpi monitors, you do not need to port them to Qt for that).

Old applications will certainly not support "@2x pixmaps" (though many do support hidpi monitors if you use the "Override high DPI scaling behavior" to let the application do it - however the majority do not, which is why this isn't the default) but despite being blurred they'll still work (and that is assuming you are using a hidpi monitor, in practice nowadays hidpi monitors are still a very tiny minority so chances are you wont even notice it). Though FWIW i personally do not use hidpi monitors and one of the reasons is that (the other is that i play games a lot and i do not feel the slightly higher crispiness is worth the massively reduced performance).

However breaking the ABI wont work at all, blurry or not.

(also note that Windows 10 will not use bilinear filtering for integer scaling so in -e.g.- 4K monitors running at 200% scaling you shouldn't get blurriness)

It's a neat idea and kudos to them for executing on this. However, it also triggers my spidey sense a bit. It makes me concerned about a far-flung future in which people who opt-out of the VSCode integration get a sub-optimal experience. Who knows if it will go this way but it may happen very slowly and without anyone noticing over a period of years. Corporate strategies often trend this way.

First full-genome lion family tree
We have!

A constraint on dark matter is that it needs to be around at very early times. Before the time of the CMB (400 000 years after the Big Bang). If there wasn't dark matter at this time, the under/overdensities of baryons alone are not large enough to produce the large scale structure (galaxy groups/clusters) that we see today.

What this means is that black holes, formed in the conventional process (stars dying), cannot be dark matter. The first stars only formed much later. However, primordial black holes (formed at very early times, before the CMB) were still a possibility.

This possibility has mostly been ruled out though. The main way we have done that is through microlensing. If there were lots of reasonably sized black holes floating around, they would magnify background stars as the passed in front of them. It's a pretty cool effect. Here's a nature paper from a couple of years ago that investigated it [1]. The abstract is very readable and figure 5 shows how people have been slowly ruling out black holes as a major component of DM.

> Compare with steel where you can just hire a bunch of welders and build the damn thing out in the open.

I don't really know anything about welding nor about the forces acting on a rocket, but I remember reading that the effort in welding the Saturn V rocket was a feat in itself. It took a long time to train the workforce to perform the welds and extensive inspection was needed.

Does anyone know if this applies to this rocket too? Has welding progressed (or simply kept the skill alive)?

Edit: To anyone interested. The excellent book, Stages to Saturn, covered this (and everything else) in quite some detail.
I'm not sure if this is really true. Why would you want to become a contributor to an OSS project if you can't bother to get it working on your machine? You actually learn quite a bit about the project by going through its dependency hell.
Maybe 80 hours total, but then that's it. And then you have speedy skills that can serve you in almost any command line environment. AND vi commands are used in a lot of other places, like man pages and such.
The Hyper-V hypervisor is obviously running. I don't remember the corresponding name in the optional components.

The complete Hyper-V suit you use to manually create and run VM does not need to be installed by default, but that's irrelevant. Windows provides more and more features that relies on the hypervisor, e.g. Windows Sandbox, Edge Protected Mode, Credential Guard, etc.

Those features (and WSL2) are not available when you are not running under the hypervisor.

MS also provides an API so that third party VM tools can run, and Virtual Box can use it, but still recently it had tons of issues. Maybe the situation is somehow better now, I don't know. I don't think this is an option with VMWare though.

> since we can't actually see how fast our arm is spinning.

It's tougher, but we can. We know that the Sun has an orbital speed of approximately 220 km/s relative to the center of the galaxy. And we can measure the relative speeds of stars and gas clouds inside the Milky Way to derive a rotation curve for the Milky Way. This is discussed some here: https://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/March01/Battaner/node9.h...

A side note that "speed of an arm" is potentially ambiguous. The arms in spiral galaxies are thought to be at least partly a reflection of density waves moving through disks. Those density waves can in principle have (pattern) speeds which are different than the orbital speeds of the gas and stars themselves. Talking about the speed of an arm could in principle refer to either the pattern speed of a density wave or to the velocities of the mass components which are overlapping with that density wave.
