This is an unfair premise because it implies that breaking the speed limit is always unsafe. This is flat out not true; millions of drivers break the speed limit every day and have never or will never face the consequences. Out of various dangerous acts, speeding certainly counts as one, but it is not as fatal as, say, playing with firearms.

There are plenty of valid reasons to speed:

* (Most common) The actual speed limit is way too slow for what the road conditions are, and everyone would suffer if they followed it

* You are trying to overtake a truck and avoid their blind spot (I have done this; the less time spent next to a truck, the less anxiety you feel)

* An emergency vehicle is behind you and you need to speed up to overtake a car in the other lane so you can lane-change and make way for the vehicle (State v. Brown)

* Everyone around you is speeding; going slower is more dangerous because people need to lane change to get around you

* You are trying to make some space between some kind of maniac driver who you believe will soon lose control and hit you (I have done this to get away from drunk drivers)

* Your loved one is experiencing a medical emergency and you need to get to the hospital

* You are being chased by some kind of criminal or terrorist

* You are avoiding a natural disaster such as a rockslide, tornado, flood, or avalanche

Realistically, will you ever be driving away from a rockslide or sedan terrorist? Probably not, but with a regular car, you at least have options to exercise if you ever are in that spot; with a limiter those opportunities are gone.

In the case of a limiter, a mis-configured or broken speedometer or sensor can give false readings that severely inhibit your driving, even while driving, which could cause an accident if your vehicle slams the brakes without warning. It could also prevent you from using highways if your vehicle is not capable of accelerating past 40mph. This is the same argument against self driving cars; humans want control to keep themselves safe, not so they can be dangerous.
I think you might be underestimating just how important speed is becoming.

Not only is it now a very important ranking factor for SEO reasons. There's also going to be a point for most websites where the complexity (I'd argue that the standard WordPress install is a lot more complex than most JamStack setups, if you're going to be digging into the code) will eventually need to be offloaded to a build process that spits out a static site, just to meet the 'acceptable' threshold.

1. Yes the palette is being optimized for as well which is imho what makes it different from a quantization approach
2. That’s a good point. I cite a reference blog post which does use blur in the loss function towards the end of the post. Unfortunately I think pure blur would still produce a noisy image as it would remove variance in the eyes of the loss function but not the final image. I would guess something like the example I give with purple, red, blue pixels would still be a problem for blurred loss

I second this. Players like Netlify and Digital Ocean have a ridiculous amount of mindshare for solving a certain problem faster without the complexity that the big cloud providers bring.

I think the market is larger for simplified services without the IAM and S3 cruft, especially when you have to educate the client on the solution.

of which 6 million, even including "not sure", is clearly the modal result.
> What is the point of bringing native DX12 to linux if not that?

Oh, easy: it’s so games written for DX12 on Windows—that are currently run on Linux using Wine—can have a direct, low-overhead GPU driver path, rather than Wine needing to translate DX12 calls into OpenGL/Vulkan calls first.

Of course, if you’re a game-engine developer, you know you can achieve the same by just writing your engine to target Vulkan instead of DX12.

But if you’re e.g. Steam, you’d love to see more games “automatically made” multi-platform (with comparable performance), so that you can sell them to your Linux userbase.

Microsoft themselves are—maybe surprisingly—in the same boat as Steam here. The various game studios they own publish multi-platform games. Those platforms don’t necessarily include Linux, but they do often include Android. And merging code into the upstream Linux kernel is one way to get it to appear in Android.

—————

This change would also allow the graphics of Linux programs running in a VM on Windows to be accelerated through virtualization (i.e. having the X/Wayland server on Linux act as a Windows DX12 client.) It’s analogous to the reason that some VM software offers special-purpose “host-guest filesystem” drivers to the guest, that allows the guest to just pass through filesystem requests at a high level, rather than needing a virtual block device or a networked-filesystem protocol.

This is the reason Microsoft themselves offered. I feel like there’s a lot more money on being able to easily port Windows games to Android, though.

I've seen geometric patterns and it's very similar to tie-dye fractals that kind of pulse and move among itself. A friend and I had very similar experience of the patterns (no elves wasn't DMT). You'd see them only when looking close up at something, not your entire visual field. They conform to the object you are staring at. A cardboard box wilth all its micro texture and creases "generated" the patterns and your brain would interpret it moving, pulsing, distorting, adding color.

(I am not saying this as some kind of allure of the drug's effects, just interesting to think about why and how the perception change happens).

I think maybe it has to do with your brain trialing new pattern recognition algorithms.

warning more musing below

I mean what is to say how any signal from our perception should look or feel internally? Visually the input in just raw EM radiation. And our brain makes this vivid picture out of basically a field of numbers. In this case you could argue that the extra pulsing or moving is not from a signal in reality, but we also can easily be tricked with visual illusions into seeing a static image move while completely sober. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_motion.

There is no "right" perception of reality, or at least ours is subjective to begin with. I think drugs just allow new patterns or patterns recognition "algorithms" a trial run. Our biology ended up as it is to keep us alive; it is not "poison" or wrong to try to re-jigger it temporarily to see what else is possible - as long as you are in a good situation to do so.

The scripts aren't good because they're not designed to be good. TV and movies are fleeting bouts of entertainment with little re-use value, cranked out by a system that cares more about quantity than quality. Characters, dialog and plot are the minimum necessary to allow suspension of disbelief. Good storytelling is not important if the option to profit without it exists.

Then there is a segment of the market that specializes in creating higher quality products for demanding consumers, and to command higher paychecks and respect for the actors and production brands involved. Sometimes people who care about fiction manage to sneak in here. But Hollywood has gotten increasingly good at replacing the director-auteur with schmaltzy schlock that still tickles the sensibilities of people who want to believe that hollywood is art.

For example: The problem with Game of Thrones' last few seasons was that they ran out source material from an author who cared about his fiction. TV and film don't know how to tell a story because they're designed not to. Maybe most of the individuals involved do, but the system doesn't. It's so bad that a resource-rich production shit the bed with a head of steam and plot points from a real author. They couldn't even convey "bad person is BAD" without falling back on Nazi imagery. Of course the conclusion was doomed.
What I find puzzling is that I keep hearing people say that it's impossible for people to stay alert while not being the driver, when there's actually a pretty popular term to describe that very thing: a backseat driver[1].

So, maybe you can get to it in a couple of days. Fix what you can using the old SDK before GM build becomes available. Then you have a small amount of updates once apps using the new SDK can be submitted. The app will be temporarily broken for a few days on a brand new OS until the update goes live. Is that really a big deal? The world doesn't come to an end if you get a few bad reviews from impatient users. I remember being in the mobile app development rat race and am so glad I left that world behind. Too much daily panic about things that really don't matter much.

Thank you for sharing that. I think at the outset, whenever we all discuss donations, no one should be bullied or told they are doing something wrong. Helping people should be encouraged, even if there are better ways to help.

I think it's a productive discussion when those involved learn something new. My hope is always to share the counterintuitive finding that in today's world we are able to help people a tremendous amount with (relative-to-our-lives) very little financial involvement.

I hope that when people learn about this remarkable fact, they reflect on their goals and consider giving to more-cost-effective charities, and to give more overall.

I'm thrilled to hear you too give to one of GiveWell's top recommended charities!

Cheers!
>The system is supposed to prevent people from dying, 346 people died, the system is broken, it is a fact. Of course we work backward from there.

Isn't this just outcome bias though? You're arguing that because there are 346 deaths, the system is necessarily broken. That may not be the case. From what I've seen, it probably is, but it's not a foregone conclusion, and we shouldn't look for evidence supporting that conclusion. 346 deaths might actually be a very small number compared to what could have happened had the system actually been broken. The point is, it's a logical fallacy to say that because there were 346 deaths, the system is broken, and we need to work back from there. This could have been a rare combinatorial explosion of bad luck.

I've heard smoke inhalation cited as a possible cause for this, but it looks too early for a definitive explanation.
After the E. coli incident at Jack in the Box, people flocked to eat there. Who wouldn't, since they were so heavily scrutinized during their mitigation period.
One of the main selling points of the plane was the lack of need to retrain pilots. So, Boeing was acutely aware of the lack of training regarding MCAS.
On Android, if you tap the button to report the error, it will show you a stack trace and other information that are often enough to diagnose crashes in third party apps.
As someone in middle America with a not-quite castle that I paid $100k for, I'm perfectly happy with that trade off I guess.
At least with a dam you can see the where the danger is after it fails :\
I understand there were problems at Boeing and the FAA that lead to the unexpected first crash. I'm honestly not that bothered that a plane crashed (besides the general sadness of any loss of life tragedies). Sometimes bad things happen... these are complex machines and regulatory systems. The process seems to be working and problems are being addressed. Plane crashes are super, super rare.

What I don't understand, and does bother me, is why the plane continued to fly after the first crash and even, inexcusably, for days after the second crash! That seems to me a bigger indictment of Boeing's and the FAA's reluctance to put safety over money.

I am always wondering. From split brain patients we know that there are two fully functioning halfs. And when you think about it from an IT perspective, it is difficult to imagine that they are fully synchronized (emotionally, information, etc). So basically you have a pair of twins sharing a phone line giving somehow the idea of a single person. I am not surprised that some odd things going on.

just FYI, aptitude can identify the dependency chain between two packages. I don't know if it always finds the shortest chain, the most direct chain (choosing Depends over Recommends over Suggests), or just any chain, but on this machine (Ubuntu Xenial, the only one I can access right now):

$ aptitude why network-manager systemd
p network-manager Depends libpam-systemd
i libpam-systemd Depends systemd (= 229-4ubuntu21.29)

$ aptitude why dbus systemd
i dbus Depends adduser
i adduser Depends debconf | debconf-2.0
i debconf Recommends apt-utils (>= 0.5.1)
i apt-utils Depends apt (= 1.2.32ubuntu0.1)
i apt Depends gnupg | gnupg2
i gnupg2 Depends gnupg-agent (= 2.1.11-6ubuntu2.1)
i gnupg-agent Depends pinentry-curses | pinentry
p pinentry-gnome3 Provides pinentry
p pinentry-gnome3 Depends libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0)
p libgtk-3-0 Depends libcolord2 (>= 0.1.10)
p libcolord2 Recommends colord
p colord Depends policykit-1 (>= 0.103)
i policykit-1 Depends libpam-systemd
i libpam-systemd Depends systemd (= 229-4ubuntu21.29)

So yes, network-manager does seem to have a hard dependency on systemd, but dbus doesn't. Though I'm curious why network-manager should hard-depend on libpam...
Exactly. It's a terrible tool for that job and wasn't designed for it, but there's such a great need for something like that, that businesses and governments have grabbed onto it anyway, for lack of something better.

Despite what might be described as an absolutely huge market signal that there's desire and need for this, resistance to actual national ID is so high among elected officials that propositions for it have, so far, always been DOA. Maybe national IDs really are terrible and it's worth the shared-over-the-population pain and expense not having one causes in a modern society and economy, IDK.
Looks cool. I wonder whether users can overflow your buffers inputting commands in sscanf. Also, why malloc/free cmd_str in raw? You're automatically or statically allocating all the other buffers.

No, I'm pretty sure they're saying that debating the semantics of an argument rather than the merit of the argument is a tactic often used by bad-faith actors who seek to reshape a conversation to their advantage by discouraging deeper scrutiny of their position past "yeah, well, they keep using that word and I don't think they know what it means."

It boggles my mind that a company makes a fairly innocuous decision (which you would expect consumers to punish them for) like requiring all web views to use the same renderer as Safari, and there are people like you rushing to have the government jump in and regulate "the kind of rendering for web pages that a private company allows on their devices". Seems like total insanity to me and I don't understand it.

Yes. It's the sort of take by people who have made zero effort to study history or economics.

"Keep the budgets tight" was the mantra in the early 30s in response to the depression. It took a World War that killed millions of people (and was -- surprise! -- a major artificial government stimulus) to get out of it.

Yes, providing monetary liquidity and fiscal stimulus during times of extreme stress is not purely good. It can have an effect of keeping some companies alive that perhaps should not be. That is bad and we should try to minimize it in the context of a recovery effort. But the fact that it's not perfect is not a reason to claim that burning everything down and creating a decades-long horrible depression in which many die of starvation, and that cripples the country, is a preferable alternative.

They think that if you let everything burn down then green shoots will pop up and everything will be happy and folks will rebuild and it'll be better and the government oughta get its snout out of our business and just let pure capitalism run its course and...

Gaming firm Razer exploring bank license applications in Europe and the U.S.
Thank you! This concern is valid. If we change original (let's say) Chinese texts in code, and re-run the CLI (wrap+extract). These happens (in my company's workflow):

1. CLI removes (oldKey -> oldValue) entry from en.json (a18n don't keep stale keys)

2. CLI adds (newKey -> null) entry to en.json

3. Developer commits updated en.json (yeah it's versioned)

4. A script (not in a18n yet) scans en.json, found untranslated text and warns

5. It's up to the developer to decide what to do with missing translation

Not too perfect, but I think keeping original text in code instead of "some.text.id" also has its benefit:

1. Devs understand the texts, this brings more context and makes code easier to understand

2. Some huge projects in my company exists long before they need to support i18n, and it is just too expensive to manually migrate from `text` to `code`
Good point, I have been missing out!
