1. For years I would simply start writing about stuff I was interested in. Now, I research more and write outlines, so I get more information density.

2. I signed up on dev.to and wrote stuff about React/Webpack, because that was what I was working with at that time.

3. Success motivated me. I started in 2017 and since then I got a book deal and starting in 2020 my main income is from blogging.

4. Regularly finding new topics was my main problem.

IA's lending is not unlimited, as others have pointed out. From https://openlibrary.org/help/faq/borrow:

I think we should be careful not to let publishers control the narrative here. Publishers interests in making profits are naturally going to conflict with the public good, and the point of copyright is to promote the latter.

I am a European citizen looking for a full-remote opportunity. I have a strong background as a backend engineer and I am currently interested in exploring DevOps, and particularly Kubernetes, further.

I've worked in both small and big companies, on-site and full remote.

I am fluent in English, Spanish, and French.
I can't find the numbers right now, maybe someone else has them, but if I remember correctly, 2 examples - interracial marriage in late 1960s and same-sex marriage in 2010s - show that support for these kind of relationships grew much faster after they were made legal in all states in US.

So I partially agree with you - there must be a certain culture change happening, but it can and it should be supported by law in order to happen faster.
I think the argument is that rental business is down all over, not just at Hertz. Even if all the Hertz business goes to their competitors, the demand for new rental cars will be way down this year.
Chrome isn't open source, and a large part of android isn't either (google play services). Gmail is quickly becoming a walled garden itself (anyone who runs their own email service can tell you that). And YouTube is a hot mess.
You must not remember the web before google and google funded firefox!! This whole "google has never done anything" meme just seems ridiculous on its face.

Google took on and basically CRUSHED some major market players and powers (Microsoft basically lost the entire web and handset markets from a monopoly position) as a result of google service offerings.

Check out how much money they pumped into firefox as well - that used to be a major part of their push vis a vis IE.

Regardless of how much google "sucks" - they seem to have at least some things that folks like.
Currently the ocaml runtime has a global lock on running ocaml. Like python you may have multiple OS threads but only one may have this lock at a time. Non-ocaml code may release this lock while e.g. doing blocking IO.

The goal is to remove this lock in a way that is safe and allows programs to continue being fast.

Not sure what this article is arguing.

Sometimes you want to make a slow website that doesn't fit well on a phone screen?

Leaving aside the fact that you can of course do that, and that if I'm using a search engine on my phone I probably (usually?) don't want to look at your slow site that I have to horizontally scroll...

> Modern web design principles are very rarely directed at regular people looking to make a website on something they are interested in. Instead, the focus is on creating websites that perform well:

> Don't use too many colours. Write short, catchy headlines. Don't let content be too long. Optimise for SEO. Produce video content, attention span is decreasing. Have a an obvious call to action. Push your newsletter. Keep important information above the fold. Don't make users think. Follow conventions.

All that's true to some extent if you're making a product on the web and you have a few seconds to hook a customer before they move on. If you're making a website for enthusiasts in some niche, though, content is your draw and you can worry less about some of these things.
This seems like a common claim here on HN. I would expect the creativity of the world's SEO hackers to outstrip any single team, so I expect you'rer right. But I struggle to find queries where interesting information isn't in the top handful of links.

[badgers in montana], [while loop python], [how to fix noisy refigerator], [nude stallman] all do just fine. Are there veins of queries that are particularly polluted? Even [homeopathy covid] is pretty good.

Ask 99 out of 100 people, and they'll say an autopilot "makes the plane fly itself." I'm 100% on board with Tesla and most of Musk's other efforts, but calling this system "Autopilot" was negligent.

Are you (speaking to the audience at large, not to the OP) an engineer at Tesla? Did you speak up when they decided to call this thing "Autopilot"? Why or why not?
I remember early on when Tesla was touting some kind of crashes/deaths per mile average or something compared to the US average... Anyone have the current numbers on that?

I started by reading blogs. I wanted to contribute back to the same ecosystem that taught me so much (and I liked writing), so I started blogging about side projects on Blogger.

I soon found Digital Ocean's writing program. They were paying $200 for blog posts, which was a lot as a student in South Africa.

Money was fairly motivating, but soon the long and slow editing process got tiring, so I started freelance blogging for a few other sites instead.

Then I created GitHub page[0] with links to places that pay for writing and links to some resources I enjoyed for learning how to write better.

Now I'm convinced that the fact that more and more companies are paying amateur bloggers for content means that there's a nieche for more professionally written content, so (shameless plug) I launched Ritza[1] (I'm focussing on it full time from today only, so it's still very rough!)

The government isn't a single person or even consistent entity. Different people and groups are vying for control via control of the government. Some people distrusting the current government and others supporting it is pretty much what politicians want (it's also the natural result of politics).

I don't think this will change much when it comes to governing. Hopefully there will be change with how the police work in the US, but the political play is going to stay the same. Some people might just end up being switched out.

Just think of it this way: almost all of the rioting/protesting is happening in blue areas. They have a Democratic mayor, police chief, state representatives etc. The police are under the control of these local officials, not federal officials. At the same time, many of protestors are angry at Trump and other Republicans on a federal level. So who do they vote for to enact change? Voting for those same Democrats in local ejections keeps the status quo, but at the same time they don't like the opposition (Republicans). They can elect a different federal president, but that isn't going to change the police issue as long as the local status quo remains.

All in all, I would say that politically not much is going to change.
Pipenv has had a couple releases recently, but I've had an easier time with Poetry. Poetry is almost always[0] faster than Pipenv, and I find its commands more intuitive.

> Is there ever an instance of power being taken away from armed groups like police or military, in any country?

Sure. Most countries didn’t have an independent police complaints body a century ago. Now most (developed) do. And many countries require body cams these days, of course.
> It's grossly irresponsible of Tesla to ship a system that can't detect big, solid obstacles.

I think this is a case of something that seems grossly irresponsible because it's a task that humans can do extremely easily. Clearly, if LIDAR cost nothing then Tesla would happily use it in their cars. The reality is that a technology that can perform as well as a human at static object detection is cost prohibitive which is why you don't see it in any mass market vehicles. I would imagine in some cases a human driver i.e. a taxi still costs less than LIDAR.

So it becomes a question of how responsible should we make Tesla for the expectations that some of their customers may have when they release any kind of driver assistant technology? You can argue both ways that it would be irresponsible of them to release the technology that they have now without guaranteeing that every driver will fully understand its limits but also that it would be irresponsible of them not to release such technology given the number of lives it can save in its current form.
A good example is the post-9/11 lawsuits filed against foreign governments that were enabled by passage of JASTA or liability for asbestos which was broadly enabled by legislation.
I don't know if it's a combination of overreliance on algorithmic rankings + seo or what, but if I search for something like "Panasonic GH5" (something I searched recently), I want to see the top two ranked items as the Panasonic product page, followed by the Wikipedia page.

When I run that search on Google in Canada, there is a Panasonic link on the first page (third link), but it's for the US store listing, which has less info on it than the normal product page.

But as you say, search is in a horrendous state. So is video discovery on Youtube. It seems like my front page recommendations on Youtube have turned to garbage in the last 12 months.

Yes, I think we are in agreement. I am using that specific definition of public here because I feel like it's the most representative of the soul of these homonymous legal concepts that have morphed over a few hundred years into tools of oppression. The law wouldn't exist without the people, and it's time to bring these concepts back into alignment.

I'm going out on a limb here but I'm thinking these protests aren't just about one guy.
Early days of airbags had fairly simple deployment requirements.

Current vehicles have a lot more, in terms of impingement, impact direction, instant and sustained G-forces, etc. When teaching EMTs we use airbag deployment as an indicator of potentially serious mechanism, but the reverse isn't true - you can't automatically dismiss an accident as minor because there was no deployment in an airbag-equipped vehicle.
Oregon does not even have REAL ID compliant driver's licenses. In theory, "Oregon will begin issuing Real ID cards on July 6, 2020.": https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/Pages/Real_ID.aspx. But I suspect that with the DMV being mostly unavailable for nearly 3 months now, even that will not be happening quickly.

Thus, anyone from Oregon without a passport will not be able to fly?
Sure, but telling people to run "py -3.7" seems a lot easier than walking them through uninstalling and reinstalling Python, as you would have had to in the bad old days. It's reliable and consistent and doesn't depend of what's installed where or how it's configured. If you run "py -3.7 -m venv my_env", it just works, always, with no special context required.

Although I don't handle user support for Python packages, if I did, that would be my go-to approach.

The harm of government regulation of speech is greater than the harm of corporations censoring views with which you personally agree (or disagree). Facebook isn't going to imprison you, and there exist other platforms, however vehemently people like to deny that.

> claiming to support people's right to free speech

To be clear, I didn't claim this, in the sense that I don't support the ideological right to free speech that some people do. I fully support consequences for saying stupid and things. Much as you are free to say something I disagree with, I am free to tell you it's stupid, or stop associating with you in response.
It helps the people in the apparent and hurts everybody else. Doesn't really change in a recession.
Everyone has pretty much universally agreed that what the officers did was unacceptable. Even other Police. The officer was arrested, why things didn't move sooner was a local matter to take up with that mayor and that department. It should have been handled locally, not all departments are the same.

But you end up in a situation of further tragedy where people start destroying property and assaulting others, and they screwed up by doing so. The message has been diluted, lost in all the noise. Expanding it nationwide hasn't broadcast the message positively.

It's juvenile and short sighted, the people are on their side, saying yes this was wrong, yes this has to stop, murder is unacceptable, etc. They are now looking at the situation with a different viewpoint, asking themselves if the police violence may be justified with this group, look at what they did to our community when WE AGREED with them and were willing to help.

That isn't a political thought, that is a rational thought. Destroying communities, rioting, looting, killing people, it never brings more people into your corner. America is a civil society that respects law and order. Much of America now is just happy they don't have to live around anywhere where this is happening, that is going to be the only takeaway from this tragedy now. The chorus on social media doesn't reflect that. The riots turned average Americans against this event.

A barrier, metaphorically, was quickly slammed up between people, and now it's just noise and chaos.
> and they'll say an autopilot "makes the plane fly itself."

I don't believe in tailoring your marketing for your most ignorant customers. If you ask a Tesla advisor during a test drive, they will very clearly state the car does not drive itself (ask; I've tried more than once to see if they'd say something other than company stance). It is extremely clear in the vehicle's manual and other documentation put front and center for the driver that Autopilot is meant to be an assist, and the driver is responsible at all times. Don't turn on the feature if you're going to ignore the warning messages and legalese.

Example in-vehicle copy:

> What? I have never seen that as a problem, and I've probably consumed thousands of benchmarking articles over the years.

Possibly you gloss over the words as you're used to them, but don't stop to think what each paper really means? I didn't either until one day I stopped and did.

I wrote a blog post about this, but unfortunately never got around to posting it because I think it came across as rather pedantic. I surveyed the language used to express speedup in systems papers using benchmarking in top conferences and produced this table:

https://twitter.com/ChrisGSeaton/status/1253654667579531265/...

Each row is a different way to talk about the same thing, then the English way to say it, then each column is what this looks like for a different example value, then the actual mathematical expression.

Just to emphasise this - each column is the same empirical result, and then each row in the column is a different way to express that same result, that I've seen in a paper.

> The latter is obvious, the former is not.

I'm afraid it isn't as obvious to everyone, and other people may think it's obviously something different to you. You'll notice that some English phrases can be interpreted in multiple reasonable ways. Is running in half the time '1 times faster' or '2 times faster'? You'll see both in the wild.

> As to 'times as fast' vs 'times faster' vs 'times slower': I don't see how there could be any confusion.

Is '2 times as fast' the same as '2 times faster'? Some papers think so, others not.

Have you read the root comment of this thread... that's an example of real-world confusion right there! Just with markup not speedup. It's the same maths and the same confusion.
That they won or lost by the cost they imposed on the other guy, not the cost that was imposed on them. If they could have imposed the same cost without actually dying, they would still have won or lost.
