Yes, I’ve seen it. Comparatively very few people in the US tow with cars compared to the rest of the world. For two reasons:

1. Pickups are comparatively very popular in the US.

2. The US has more stringent regulations for towing than the rest of the world; a vehicle rated to tow 2000lbs in EU often is rated to tow nothing at all in the US. [0]

I think there are plenty of tools out there that wouldn't be classified as "systems programming" but frankly should be written in an extremely performant way.

A lot of the excuses I see for slow (or just bad/sloppy) code is that it would cost more to the business to improve it than to leave it alone. This is a fine argument but I don't believe the cost analysis is ever correct.
I’ve used it more for generating forms, e.g. for when there are different types of questions or modules can ask or show the user —- multiple choice, free response, upload an image, watch a video, etc. So I’ve used JSON here both for storing the questions and responses, and then have used validators for each question type and response type. The downside is that it’s hard to do migrations. But in most cases you can just save the rendered HTML each user is shown and that covers you for having an audit trail, rather than maintaining backwards compatibility indefinitely. And if you do need to maintain compatibility forever, the schema validators enable that.

Having done or seen almost the exact same use for JSON at multiple startups, for whatever downsides there are I think it’s 10x better than needing to try to understand a bunch of models, each with their own queries and logic.
You can look at https://github.com/knyar/nginx-lua-prometheus/pull/75 for inspiration.
"[W]hen we say "const cannot be reassigned, nor re-declared" that does not mean const is immutable."

Perhaps this would be clearer: "The identity of a const object is immutable but its state can be mutable."
Not that it matters here, but an unfalsifiable conjecture is not a very strong argument.
ByteDance founder defends TikTok's U.S. strategy in staff letter

> I find it a bit weird when people anthropomorphize corporations as if they have personalities and traits that somehow live beyond an almost 100% turnover in staff and senior management changes.

Companies definitely have personalities and traits that last longer than their constituent members, that's what's called a culture. Just like a nation has defining features that will still be around when every single currently living member is dead, so have companies. In particular old, large ones.

That's not to say that they can't change, and Microsoft definitely has changed since the 90s, but the past is not irrelevant.

Most code in the k8s project is easy to read and understand.
There are really some parts in it which are not so easy to grasp. One reason is k8s was written in Java and there are several over-abstractions in the code design. The other reason is there are too much generated code.

I do agree that thinking Go is simple to learn is bad in learning Go (I mean it is not good to learn Go seriously). On the other hand, I also think Go is a quite readable language.
Ok, I think I got the picture now. You should find Julia interesting!

See recent discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24032820
I didn't downvote, but IMO it's only half true: C# and the runtime really are excellent. But the C# library ecosystem is much smaller than the Java, JavaScript, PHP, and Python ecosystems (and even Go/Rust for a lot of things), and there are even quite a few commercial (paid for) libraries! This may not matter for a particular project, but for me it's significant enough to not make C# a universal recommendation.

Hopefully it changes now that C# is open source, but for now it's quite a big downside.
Some things are not best suited to the free-market 'for profit' model of how to get things done.

I disagree. There are already plenty of articles discussing UX that way. Using Lego is an interesting change of perspective that lets us look at this in a different way.
Status core contributor here. Which information in particular are you looking for?

In answer to your questions above:

What [do] the currency and/or blockchain brings to the table?

Decentralized messaging tech aims at making 1-1 and group messaging more secure. It is not inherently tied to blockchain / cryptocurrency, though for an economically incentivized network of mailserver nodes it could make sense to realize the incentivization mechanisms via cryptocurrency transfers.

See: https://vac.dev/vac-overview

The Waku protocol, currently used by the Status mobile and desktops apps, is being developed by the Vac team, which is part of Status.

The Status client includes an Ethereum wallet because many people interested in the messaging technology are also interested in cryptocurrency.

Is it a paid app?

No, it is free to download and free to use, and all the software developed by Status is open source: https://github.com/status-im/

Does it store ciphertexts indenfinitely to the blockchain? Or public keys?

Sending and receiving messages does not involve transactions on the blockchain; messages are not stored on the blockchain.

It's not just "they want you to use face unlock", but it has the hardware to a a secure face unlock (with a 3D scan) just like the iPhone. Nothing like OnePlus' face unlock that just uses the selfie camera.

Except during this pandemic where you have to wear a mask everywhere, I actually like face unlock. It's even more seamless than the finger print reader.

Nassim Taleb, also makes many allusions to this in several of his books.

Particularly jarring is the constant fixation that is going on in the news with Daily COVID-19 data. There is simply too much daily variation that has nothing to do with how the virus is spreading and affecting each location. A huge waste of attention and resources with titles such as "Largest number of new cases in a day since March!"... so what?
Regarding choice deferral, perhaps you should take another closer look at that experiment. It seems to me that you may have missed the fact that the choice that was taken away is not "online + print", but rather "print only", which yielded 0 subscribers in the original batch.
My daughter has a 1-year old iPad mini. My own modest gaming rig has a mid-range 2-year old i7 (and an SSD & 1050 ti video)

Geekbench results for single-core performance are pretty much identical, though I win out by a wide margin on multi-core and video benchmarks.

But forget about benchmarks, here's a more practical example: fortnight loads in about 15 seconds on the ipad. For me about 45.

It's possible the graphics are lower quality on the ipad, though I can't tell the difference. Or maybe they have to optimize a lot more for iPads. Fortnight updates on the iPad, after downloading, also takes minutes while mine takes about an hour. I look forward to much less expensive arm chips coupled with a dedicate GPU, especially if it drives developers to write more optimized code.

In fact, this fortnight difference might be a case study in just how much can be achieved by optimizing. 3-5 year old phones can run Fortnite.
I had assumed it was state laws for ostensible health reasons. But it turns out to have sort of an interesting history and, as you say, apparently isn't legally mandated in any state according to this article: https://people.howstuffworks.com/where-did-shirt-shoes-requi...
I'd argue the ultimate goal of academia and academic research isn't making technology. That's based on a very narrow view of academia (focusing entirely on engineering and the sciences with immediate technological applicability), and on the premise that we want only technological gadgets rather than understanding as and end goal.

The primary end goal of academic research should be to understand and find answers to interesting questions, not to build applications. The applications are a good secondary goal, but not the only one. You may or may not want to support that first goal, but that shouldn't distort the goal of academic research into just a technology factory.

Of course that doesn't mean a lot of research isn't crap. But you also have to remember that research that is novel, broadly interesting and high quality is a lot harder to do than yet another application.

I also agree that the quantity of papers published shouldn't be a target. I think almost everybody agrees on that.

(FWIW, I'm not in academia.)
I'm going to take a look at the link. Thanks.
I already found "The Art of Electronics" but it's too advanced for me right now.

Assuming the average flight is 1 hour long, that’s a 0.5% chance of dying in 28.5 years of flight time. 0.995^138 is approximately 50%, so the expected amount of time you’d need to spend onboard to have even odds chance of dying due to hull loss is about 4000 years.

There are a lot of factors this analysis doesn’t take into account, particularly the difference in airframe fault rate over time: A new plane will have different reliability figures than a 4000-year old one.

In the UK we were doing Jap-style and had Max Power long before F&F. Fast and the Furious might be responsible for widening the pool of people though. Although in my experience, the modding scene didn't actually massively increase in size from what I saw.

The old timers "aged out" and into better, stock cars, and the young kids coming in could actually only do less with the available cars (modding anything reasonably recent is a frustrating and expensive task, and so were limited to things like headlights and exhausts).

When I wanted to put a small new lip spoiler on my car I got an insurance quote for 4x because of it. Suffice to say I left it stock.
Also fog lights being left on at all times. When I'm being followed by an SUV with a relatively high chassis and a set of fog lights that the owner blithely keeps turned on, it can be very nearly physically painful for me.
Agreed. It would be like removing the floppy disk in the 80s or the CDROM drive in the 90s and claiming it was a good move 30 years later.

These are some links to youtube sims of the two events. It seems that the Lion Air pilot at least who of course did not know about the top secret MCAS system was trying to fight MCAS directly with electric trim and at first was successful but for some reason did not hit the cutout switches after getting back to level flight. So the Lion Air pilot used electric trim correctly but failed to use the cutoff switches and the Ethiopian pilot used the cutoff switches correctly but failed to use the electric trim long enough. Maybe the Ethiopian pilots were aware of the Lion Air flight fighting MCAS with electric trim and losing and just went directly to the runaway trim stab procedure too soon. For whatever reason both flights were also going too fast and made no attempt to slow airspeed.
Why is it a bad idea?

The noise only happens if you want it to, anyway. All of the US manufacturers who add that feature only make it occur if you press the button 2x in succession.
Well, that explains a few things.
Correlation is not causation. Beyond just the fear of "cancellation", which certainly exists, any good scientist would want to find an airtight causal mechanism before publishing a socially and morally disturbing statistic that would hark back to unscientific eugenics movements from before the discovery of DNA.

And, call me a canceller myself, but somehow I doubt any such causal mechanism would actually be intrinsic to the human populations themselves. Such a strongly disadvantageous mutation as decreased cognitive ability would get weeded out by natural selection: you don't spend 20% of the body's calorie budget on an organ that isn't doing its job.
Of course, in hindsight the rodentiometer is an obvious input for the computer. One wonders how long it would have taken somebody else to invent this, if English didn't exist. How "ripe" was the community for this idea to surface?

Well, at least I always wonder with such inventions. How long have all the prerequisites been there? How large a problem has been solved? How many people had that problem? How incremental was the advancement?
OH MY GOD! Not a soul is talking about how this current US administration IS attempting to fleece and extort and FOREIGN company for MONETARY GAIN!? IS no one reading this NOT absolutely frightened at the sheer ridiculousness and absurdity of a sitting American president demanding gestapo, mafia like tactics against a company, no matter if its foreign OR Chinese?! How obtuse is the community to not even question the farce that TiKTok is somehow a security threat, and then take it at face value from an administration DEMONSTRABLY, PROVABLY emits falsehoods like a diesel engine from the 80's?!? WTF is going on my countrymen's f-cking minds?!?

This president is pretending to be "El fuking* Chapo" and "nerds", techies, my people are saying this is "OK"?!? I WANT OFF THIS PLANET!

Anyone who, after knowing all facts involved, thinks TikTok IS a national security risk and NOT FB, G, LinkedIN, etc. are a disgrace and lying in political servitude to a decrepit and dying ideology.

I'll bite. As others have said you can't charge and listen to music on phones without a jack.

On the point about affordable wireless headphones, many of us have spent a lot of time and money finding a great wired headphone setup. I don't want to go spend another £300 and 20-30 hours of my time finding an equivalent setup, all because some industrial designer wants his design another millimeter thinner.

Lastly bluetooth still sucks, particularly if you change devices a lot. I've yet to see a BT setup that allows me to easily change my headphones between my laptop, my phone and my ps4 in under 2 seconds.

They also wanted to keep it from the Germans. Before war, much of the foundations of atomic physics were developed by people in the Axis countries. It was plausible that Germany had a nuclear program as big as the American one. Denying them fuel was important.

Sure in theory.
But in practice most consider such a behavior a code small or straight bug an d fix it.

So there is a difference in practice.
There is an alternative public directory: https://open-vsx.org/

It's used by vs codium and theia.

It's not just those two plugins, it's also the ms-code.cpptools which has proprietary parts. And that's sad because other plugins are built on it like platformio. Which prevents platformio from being added to ovsx because the cpp tools can't be added to ovsx.

Which stinks for me because the cpp proprietary parts are windows only, and all I want to use platformio from is theia running on Linux, but I can't.

VS Codium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium

Theia IDE: https://theia-ide.org/

More details about PlatformIO not being to be added to OVSX: https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/issues/86

More cpp tools licensing details: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/5784

Edit: you can run theia from one computer and use it via the browser on another. That's why I was so excited for it.

Edit 2: VS Codium, not open codium
You're right that the voiced and unvoiced pair ð and θ probably belong together, as is the case with other voiced and unvoiced pairs. This would also significantly reduce the disambiguities that need to be manually resolved in Step 3. I chose to put θ into category 8 though because intuitively it sounds more like f than t to me, possibly because I'm not a native speaker. I might change my mind about it if it turns out to be more practical to have them both in category 1.

I like your idea of using the major system as a form of steganography. It would require a deterministic encoding algorithm though. I might explore this idea in another post in the future.
Thank you for your links.

Getting out of the 2% club: Why Conversion Rate Optimisation is key
I really like it! Have you given any thought to server-side execution? One of the things I think is missing from Jupyter is a clean, standard way of doing timed execution of a notebook: there are a number of paid solutions, but nothing out of the box (that I could find; spent a few days searching). Conceivably one could string together puppeteer or something similar, but it would be great to be able to run "node starboard_runner.js <notebook file>" and have the results output to stdout or saved to a file.

One nit to pick; Electron is just HTML/CSS/JS and accessibility can be as good or bad as any other website.

As for the rest, I'm frustrated because you're partially right but also kinda defeatist and that makes me sad.

I went checking and found a long history of discussion about accessibility in Godot's GUI toolkit (because the Godot editor is built in the Godot engine). It's an active topic, spanning multiple tickets over years. Their stance has evolved dramatically over time, but they appear to be putting real effort into improving the situation. Here's what I think is the current tracking ticket: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/983

Accessibility isn't a feature of Godot...yet, but it's obviously something that's important for mainstream adoption of serious software, especially non-audio-visual experience software. And it's obvious that people in the community care and are both asking for it and working on it.

If anything we need to keep doing this and revisiting it over and again and keep improving it, testing it, giving feedback, contributing. Because for as many applications that wouldn't benefit from this approach, there are as many that would.

Maybe what the community needs is a real-world application which would benefit from these accessibility features to help drive adoption and development.
