I think I get Daniel's point. I'm inclined to favour seeing that outback land turned over to something other than grazing, but what? It's remote, dry, broad, etc. Those grazing animals are essentially autonomous bots harvesting disparate clumps of feed - like a hay that bales itself (as meat).
This was my mistake, as an IT person I though the license plate -> model lookup was precise enough to account for differences like this one.

In hindsight it seems kind of related to Gell Mann Amnesia: I know things are bad on my side of the fence but expect it to be OK in the more traditional disciplines like mechanical engineering etc.

I like it, and I am considering using it as a scripting language.

It was clear and easy how to build it for my Windows 10 box, and it is relatively small.

I have always like the small Lisps like PicoLisp, but PicoLisp is not Windows friendly; it's very POSIX-dependent. I haven't had great experiences with Cygwin. PicoLisp works on WSL/WSL2 though.
Bingo. I would expect that if GH just started separately delivering invoices for marketing & other non-commission charges, a lot of the furor would subside.

Plus, if you pay with a credit card, you have (in the US, at least) net 30 terms and some form of cash back/reward that comes out of the merchant fees. You could argue that this is a broken, monopoly-entrenching system and I wouldn't disagree with you, but it's the reality of the status quo you're competing with.
Right, but should they spent 90% of their free cash flow doing a stock buy back? Not a sound business practice IMHO.
Completely agree. There are superfans for everything (Apple, Android, gaming platforms, NASCAR, sports teams). Toxicity like this has to be encouraged to thrive. Elon loves it too much.

> HTML/CSS based native interfaces are some of the hardest to use, least reliable, least accessible, least robust interfaces I encounter

This has nothing with HTML/CSS per se but rather questions to particular products. Same complain may apply to any UI.

> The best native apps look and behave natively;

"Native app" term these days is something almost non existent.

In these terms Microsoft Office is not a native app as they use custom UI framework for UI. Pretty much whole Window 10 UI now is not "native" in this sense. UWP is a custom UI layer that uses windowless DirectX based UI.
There are some low level utilities left in dusted corners of Windows that can be classified as "native" but there are just few of them - no one cares.

Consider my https://html-notepad.com as an example (purely sciter app and so HTML/CSS UI), this application simply cannot use "native UI". No OS has needed components out of the box.

Yet pretty much any modern app must have one way to another to render and to produce HTML - we want our applications to be connected (read: interact with the Web).

Eclipse added Huawei as a strategic member last fall:

Maybe the response to your questions is available in the book instead of in a free 3,000 word long post that has been provided to you.

Ask HN: Does virtual expo software exist?
Looking for software that has the following features:

• Virtual meeting room and conference area.
• List of attendees.
• Attendees put themselves out in the room just like they would if they were in a real room. You can’t just click on a name and chat 1:1. You have to be in the room for access by anyone.
• Groups form and conversations start.
• Ability to see who is in each group and join conversation if so inclined.
• Move around to find the people you want.
• Attendee list allows people to discover where others are in the room (e.g. hovering over their name).

I came across this solution, but looking for something more simple. Not really looking for a 2nd life-type solution, but something more simple.

Lots of people make the point that there are just toxic people on twitter of all persuasions and whether it's cancelling some movie producer or shouting "TERF" at every female journalist, it's just a small group of bad people that show up everywhere.

I think that misses the point that Elon Musk is one of those bad people. He is the one spreading rumours that someone's a pedofile or that Tesla has a secret deal to go private, or that Coronavirus is nothing to be worried about. People didn't just happen to congregate around him, they're hanging out with their friend.

This is actually a legit answer. It's the same exact reason why the Space Shuttle relied heavily on manual flight controls even though it fully supported almost-entirely-automated flights like the Buran did. Astronauts seem to get more satisfaction out of actually flying their spacecraft rather than just riding in 'em as passengers.
Selling ads /s
Been there, done that. Agree with dtech.

You also get to a point in hiring where the field of sales/ops people judge you & your maturity based on whether you use a commercial tool like Salesforce/HubSpot vs build your own.

Can you imagine joining a tech org and they have a half baked phpadmin wysiwyg as a standin for github + code reviews?

While yes, you could calculate out how much the subscription is vs development time to build a simple CRM, the maintenance & mental overload is righteously terrible. Better to spend that effort integrating your foos to your bars than building a sales crm.

> Clojure's startup time is pretty brutal for a lot of things I'd like to use it for, and no amount of REPL-driven development can make Clojure appropriate for CLI tools.

If you got the repl-driven development down, you wouldn't test your CLI by launching it, you would just evaluate the same functions as the CLI uses. Only time when you'd want to launch the CLI would be before releasing a build or for E2E tests. Once you got the code down for your repl and the startup time becomes a hassle, you compile down your Clojure program to a binary with GraalVM and now it starts up fast.

Otherwise, give babashka a try. Basically single-binary Clojure environment. https://github.com/borkdude/babashka

No, it shouldn't be scary to take a pill or drive to work. It should be well thought of, but once you decided, there should be no fear, otherwise you will really have a high chance of accident/sickness, as constant fear raises your stress level till the point of mental and physical breakdown.

I like typescript as it fixes a lot of JS quirks - that's good when you have to write code transpiled to JS.

However coming from languages where types are a first element of the language (c++, rust, go...), I often miss a lot of features in typescript (e.g. type conversion overload, generic specialization, etc...)

I know that by design Typescript doesn't want those features and I understand the rationale behind it. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one in that case and if someone would know a language transpiling (not compiling) to JS more appropriate to my tastes (and hence with different goals).
Did you find the transition to be relatively easy on you? I am considering building a few W10 Box with it.
Bad news for the environment
Homepage – Project Veritas
Like I have said, the main problem is the too great similarity to an existing word, which is expected to be used in the same contexts.

The reference to Ancient Greek is a matter of taste, I prefer new words to either have a meaning or to have no meaning, i.e. to be random. I find words with nonsense meaning irritating and more difficult to remember.

At least "fermion" is just a distorted form of Fermi, which does not suggest any specific meaning.

On the other hand "any on", has a meaning, but a nonsensical one, i.e. its suggests a reference to any one of the "ons", but there is no such thing as an "on", as that is just a grammatical case marker.

By the way, the "-on" in "anion" is not the same as the "-on" in proton. While the "-on" in proton comes from "-om", the "-on" in anion comes from "-ont", which corresponds to the English "-ing", the suffix of the active participle (anion = upwards-going).
"The small Internet" is a really important thing. Broadband access is not nearly as ubiquitous outside major cities as people believe. People in rural areas may have slow and unreliable (and probably expensive at the same time) connections and retro hardware.

I've read about children climbing up old towers and waiting hours (!) for the school website to load so they can access their homework during the quarantine days. I bet the same information could be delivered in seconds if that was a Gemini or a Gopher page rather than a "modern" web page bloated with JavaScript frameworks and everything.

I would even suggest discussing an idea of making maintaining a good lo-fi (e.g. Gemini/Gopher or pure HTML) site mandatory for organizations of certain kinds, the same way having wheelchair ramps and proper fire safety equipment is required.

I think the method of overthrow matters quite a bit for it. If you organize say a general strike to overthrow Generalismo Franscisco Franco that would be far harder to make illegal than say by taking material steps in a haphazarr plan to try to make a nuclear bomb using large quantities of granite (for the trace ammounts of Uranium), flouride tooth paste and mouthwash to try to get the gas required, and blenders for the centrifuges. Irrelevant of if it said method would be as viable as trying to make explosives using heart pills which would basically call for a warehouse full of them to equal one half stick of dynamite.
Kenang Masa Kecil Dengan 10 Game Monopoli Terbaik Di Android
Well the way it works in Linux is a user-space program in the initrd (which is the initial rootfs) will ask for password to unlock LUKS-encrypted rootfs, and then the initrd will mount the real rootfs at that point.

Since I have a physical trusted copy of that initrd with the kernel and bootloader that is safe.

DD-ing the whole drive is something I assumed Secure Boot doesn't protect as someone could remove the drive and do the same. Even if the drive, eMMC or flash is soldered to the board there's some way to get to it (desolder, JTAG pins, etc.)

Installing NeXTSTEP on the HP 712
It is a fun little game, and I managed to dock successfully using the instruments.

I'm confused by a few things in the user interface nevertheless.

The speed sign seems to be inverted. For example when it display a pitch speed of + 0.5°/sec, the pitch number will decrease by this value every second.

The Yaw and Pitch command are swapped between the display and the control. In the display Pitch is at the right while it command the up and down direction, and Yaw is displayed on the bottom while it command the left right direction.

For the pitch command pressing Up makes the pitch speed number decrease. (It's confusing).
For the yaw command pressing right makes the yaw speed increase.

There seems to be lacking a display for the X speed Y speed and Z speed.

I don't understand the little arrow of the roll indicator.

It also took me a while to figure the correct axis correspondence.I'm used to forward=Z direction, Y-Up and X left-right where as here X=forward,Y=right,Z=up. It's not easy to discover at first because when you are currently rotating those number move simultaneously.

> Yes, it is theoretically possible for a TypeScript type to be "wrong" and the underlying variable to have a different type.

Unlike most languages, TypeScript is just a high-level static analysis compiler service that compiles to JS that executes in a JS VM. It has no control over what happens at runtime, it doesn't know about external libraries and user input, how its TypeScript functions are going to be invoked. All it can know is the "truths" you tell it to assume, of which it makes no attempt to validate whether any of your assertions are accurate. It's not that TypeScript is wrong as it can only verify the compile-time state of your program, it doesn't know or can control the runtime state of the JS VM, what arguments your functions are invoked with, what values properties are set with, how any of its instances or prototype chain is manipulated, etc.

> Testing stuff which is not expected (by the specified type) to be `null` for `null` is just as pointless as testing it for the number 10. There is just no "valid" way for the `null` to have gotten there (just like the number 10). It would be extremely paranoid.

It's strange to read runtime JS type checks is pointless when it's the only way you can validate for sure what a Type is. You seem to think you can resolve issues by declaring typescript annotations in a different way, when they have absolutely no impact, your type annotations does not provide any guarantees at runtime, TypeScript can't tell you if your Type annotation is accurate now or will remain accurate in the future, if what you cast to is accurate, if how your code is invoked is accurate, you're telling TypeScript what the only types for a variable are, but these type assertions have no impact at runtime. Ask yourself if you're only checking for `undefined` what the behavior of your program is when it's called with `null`. Since JS functions have positional arguments it's very common for it to be invoked with `null` argument values when needing to provide values for each argument, whereas it's almost never explicitly called with an `undefined` value unless it's undergoing regression testing for bugs.

Given any JS variable can be assigned both `undefined` and `null`, there's no good reason for using strict equality check for `=== undefined`, it's always the wrong type check unless you need to determine the difference between `null` and `undefined`, otherwise it's just a more verbose inadequate type check for nothingness.

Let me clarify some things. I meant to say there are NO COVID class vaccines. The common cold is caused by the Covid virus - no vaccines for it...no vaccines for any of the Covid viruses because their nature makes it difficult to create an effective one. If we manage to produce one it is a long shot and at this point should not even be really considered as a short or medium term solution.

The current stats surely indicate that the sick and old are the ones impacted. see here:
https://tinyurl.com/ybtbqxsn
Basically the ones in nursing homes or the ones that are so unhealthy that they are not producing much. This is also a fact that can not be contested. Sure you see on the news, adnauseam, the middle aged man that got sick and died and left a family - but they are the minority. Now just because I say that does not mean that the old and sick have NO economic benefit for somebody; sure nursing homes are a business and people make money from it - what I mean to clarify is that in terms of wealth generation, they produce very little in terms of net because usually people of this class are not working because they are old and sick.

I do certainly care about people - I am just saying our hospitals are not overwhelmed right now at all. The ones that will get sick we have capacity for, and the ones that are going to die from this will die. So we should move forward and suffer their loss now instead of cripple the economy and suffer their loss over time. Because what does a crippled economy leave us? More vulnerable in every way to every other threat - natural and man made.

Also, by your reasoning, we should quarantine everybody with AIDS, Tuberculosis and a host of other diseases...so why don't we? Why are the Covid-19 deaths the only ones that matter here?

My first computer was a Commodore64. My only real complaint at the time was how the "!" was displayed. It was a straight line with a square dot. It felt incomplete somehow and IIRC looked too much like another character (can't remember which one, maybe "i"??).

MITM attacks aren't much of a problem if you are just displaying some static HTML from a random blog, can't show anything else, and the user has a large confidence his browsing history won't be used against him by any large internet party (any telecom, government, your hotel, etc, even the ones not on the obvious path).

.NET Core's cross-platform tools and ecosystem is wonderful. I'm working on a small team and the devs are using Windows, Mac, and Linux. CI builds are a mix of Windows and Linux, deploying to Linux.
