I've done the same thing, and started out with an extremely dumb feature phone. Maps and IM were the biggest losses, and meant I needed to plan activities to a much larger degree before going out.

I'd have details settled with friends before leaving my connection to the group chat. I'd plan out my route in google maps and try to memorize where destinations were and how to get to them.

Of these two, only the lack of maps is a real step back. I've come to appreciate the need for clear planning that comes out of not having my group chats with me constantly.

The feature phone was doomed from the start, since it only had a 2G connection which is going away. But then that phone broke after a rainstorm, and I got a Nokia 2720 Flip running KaiOS. It has 4G, can work as a wifi hotspot, and has a version of Google Maps that is surprisingly not-terrible. With that, I lost my only real pain points. AND I have a cool retro looking satisfyingly flippy flip-phone.

I highly reccommend it to anyone who wants to listen.
> Wow, I would have never guessed that!

Airliners are merely business tools - operators have no romance for any plane.

If a 777 is even 2% more efficient than a 747, the 747 is grounded and chopped up.

The related factors are that 4 engines is more maintenance than 2 engines, the classic 747 is no longer certified for passenger use in the USA (wiring and fuel-tank inerting ADs), and ETOPS allows twin-engine flight on almost all commercially-viable oceanic routes. (ETOPS makes me nervous af.)

That's the way he's reframing the point now. There was no mention from 2016 that I can find where he mentioned anything about opposite parties: his argument was entirely "it's too close to the election and the next president should be the one who gets to appoint the next Justice."
It's so weird to see what inspires centrists.
> No, the US never declared war on Libya. WTF are you even????

They didn't declare war on Iraq either, neither in 91 nor in 03. They didn't even declare war on Vietnam. Were they not at war with Vietnam, when they invaded the country and committed countless war crimes?

> Sorry, the US was never "at war" with Libya.

They bombed the shit out of Libya. At some point "not at war" becomes meaningless, you're just arguing semantics.

It's always nice to take a break, relax, have a glass of water and not think about programming languages, especially on a Saturday.

Time to recalibrate the language confirmation bias and reset the adrenaline in you when your favourite language reaches top of Hacker News.
> It means that `test -d $argv` expands to `test -d` if $argv is empty, which then must "succeed" because "-d" is not null. It bites users over and over again [2].

To be fair, while the POSIX behaviour is obviously wrong, using `$argv` on a bourne-style shell[0] is also wrong; that should be either `test -d "$argv"` or (if I recall the syntax correctly) `test -d "${argv[@]}"` if you actually intended argv to be a list rather than a single directory ("argv" suggests the former, but `test -d X` only accepts a single argument).

0: more specifically, a shell that does word splitting at the wrong place (after parameter expansion)

I got quite nervous as the plane appears to be resting on a pile of wood pellets.
Thanks. I should have listened to the small voice in my head before posting that.

So while BRK isn't crushing the index, would it be fair to say it "lagged" the market over the past 15 years? Seems pretty close, but I don't have the knowhow to analyze that time period with dividend reinvestment thrown into the mix. Though I've always thought these charts account for splits, no?

10-15 years ago for music I had a cheap MP3 player that also sported a radio tuner. It could take 10mins to transfer a few MB of music, but I was using that for music. It was very slim, imagine a knock-off of an iPod (the ones with the tiny no-touch screen).

Perhaps get one of these? They shouldn't cost more than £€$50 for a couple of GB
I am well aware of your opinions on this matter. None of what you just said has anything to do with Frama-C. You can't throw that out there as a Rust alternative (which, as I noted, it is not, or at least not a complete one) and then compare how easy "vanilla C++" is compared to Rust (like I said, I disagree with you on that, but it's not even relevant here).

The truth is that for people who care about safety (as I know you and I do), want to use an unmanaged language (for whatever reason), and don't want to use Ada (no accounting for taste, I guess), the "correct" comparison is C and C++ with a load of static analysis tools that don't quite work, miss plenty of bugs, enable dynamic protection that slows down your program, are not easy to install, and can be terribly noisy when not configured extensively for your project... vs. Rust which works out of the box, has the analysis integrated into the typechecker, has a simple installation and upgrade process, and catches everything. In that competition, Rust wins every time.
Electric motors are much more reliable than any combustion engine. The only thing that really wears out are the bearings and those are easily replaced. So the electric analogue of the LS will probably be _any_ electric motor.
If you think McConnell has a monopoly on hypocrisy I have a bridge to sell you as well. McConnell took both sides of the argument (delay when convenient, expedite when convenient), the democrats opposed him on both occasions. If this was a moral discussion, then both parties are equally guilty of hypocrisy.

Now if you think that political appointments are a moral matter rather than a balance of power within the constitution matter, it's not a bridge that I have to sell you, it's a planet.

Always reminds me this buffet letter. Written almost in similar times. I think oft repeated argument has still some merit. The debt yields are non existent at this point and have not reach dot.com euphoria level but it doesn't give too much of a comfort.

"The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball. They know that overstaying the festivities ¾ that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future ¾ will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There’s a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands."

> It's not a handwave and it's not even remotely easy. If it were easy, it wouldn't have taken centuries of bloodshed for humanity to develop the basic concept of peacefully tolerating disagreements over fundamental values.

As a general principle, sure.

BUT.

I don't think it is reasonable to expect anyone to peacefully[0] tolerate fundamental values that fundamentally challenge their right to exist.

We may admire genuine saintliness, but expecting it (and taking people to task when they don't measure up) is a bridge too far.

You may have the right to say that you think I and my extended family should be exterminated, but I damn well have the right to — at the very least — get in your face about it.

Impeaching the president for an alleged offense committed while in office is not "trying to delegitimize the election," unless you're prepared to say Republicans were "trying to delegitimize the election" of Bill Clinton. Conversely, it is absolutely without question that there are Republican officials, like the president himself, trying very, very hard to delegitimize the 2020 election before it happens. And I would dearly like to see more Republicans, who used to be so damn concerned about preserving the rule of law, upset about that.

Also, I think most of the "right libertarians" are already Trump votes out of sheer disgust and exasperation. Libertarians (of any stripe) are probably the least likely to get hot and bothered by Trump's antics.
SQL injection can be as easy as accepting only quoted strings as parameters, with the parameter text not allowed to contain unescaped quotes itself, and converting strings to numbers and dates with SQL conversion funcs (wouldn't work with MySQL syntax though), or in fact using prepared statements. No need for heuristic best-efforts approaches.
No I definitely wouldn't say it lagged the market. While BRK isn't "crushing it", it's done a pretty good job considering the high concentration of positions and low diversification. It's clear that Buffet has been delivering significant alpha over the 21st century.

Due to the low correlation with the market, BRK can be seen as a great way to diversify away market risk and increase the risk-adjusted returns of a S&P 500+BRK portfolio.

Or in other words, it's a totally solid investment.

Price charts don't account for dividends because people would get confused why the actual price you pay for something is different than the price on the chart.

I think I know how to code a faq I use react to create a tool for humans to help autonomous vehicles with react. Jsx has nothing to do with how easy it is to embed react in a host app. If you want to compare build systems, VueJS is also less practical and robust without its optional build system. This was used as a reason angularJS v1 would kill react and it’s a tired argument IMO
Only about 1% of Rust code is unsafe. We can still expect that 1% to be just as full of memory safety bugs as C++, so it's obviously important to clean those crates up, but that's a pretty huge improvement. It's also much easier (actually tractable, in many cases) to completely review a dependency's uses of unsafe, compared to doing a thorough code review of an entire dependency as you would have to do in C or C++ to get the same guarantees.

In all the reading I’ve done on that case, it really seems like the biggest mistake the SCOTUS made was accepting the case in the first place.
I'm not sure this is really as relevant a question as whether an opposition senate has ever blocked a Supreme Court nominee in an election year. I don't have the answer to that, but it appears the last time a Democratic president made a Supreme Court appointment while Republicans held the Senate was in 1895, whereas the last time the reverse happened was 1987. So while we may not be able to say "the Democrats clearly wouldn't have done the same thing McConnell did" with surety, I don't think we can say that they clearly would have, either.
I don't think we're fundamentally in disagreement. But I will say that there's a huge amount of value in CPUs not forcing you to care about the complexity when it doesn't matter, and it doesn't always matter.

From their statements, it's hard for me to see a "threat". This is a threat: https://twitter.com/EdMarkey/status/1307122232850870274.

"We are on the verge of a crisis of confidence in the Supreme Court, We have to take this challenge head on, and everything is on the table to do that." is...not.

Even still, your argument doesn't follow. Reacting to someone doing a thing you disapprove of isn't the same as instigating the thing. Your argument is that since Democrats disapprove of what Republicans did, and are considering taking action to undo and action they disapprove of, that they would have also done the act. That is very strange reasoning.
The fed can do what they are doing because the dollar has safe haven status. When things get bad globally, capital flows into the dollar not out of it.

That depends on how the court is packed, and how it functions after. It's possible that court packing could be seen as a success, even if each side alternates at packing, just because having many justices can minimize some of the court's current limitations.

To put it another way, the size of the House, Senate, and Presidency are determined by the constitution. The Judiciary is the only branch where it's size can be increased without a constitutional amendment, which could favor populism, regardless of who is in power, if it's expanded significantly.

Being as small as it is could speak to how the government has a tendency to concentrate/centralize power, even if it's relatively easy to spread that power out.

The full blown 3D CAD programs _do_ have easily definable dimensions and a constraint solver for drawing sketches. The problem is that in these softwares, it’s typically assumed those sketches are going to be used to make a 3D part. So you’ll extrude the sketch along a line or sweep the sketch around an axis or something to create a 3D part. Consequently, what you can do artistically with the sketch ends there.*

I’m not looking for that 3D aspect of the software. Once I have the sketch dimensioned and constrained, I want to start doing artistic stuff with it like changing the line style or color, adding a gradient fill, adding text inside it—-stuff you’d use Inkscape and the like to do. But Inkscape doesn’t have the constraint solver or easy to use dimensioning tool.

*To be fair, you could probably export the line after fully defining it in CAD and import it into Inkscape, but that’s not much fun.
