It's not public transportation in the same way that taxis aren't solving the public transportation problem. But also, why is it that there is this assumption that when self driving cars become a reality, they'll also be electric? The two problems are completely orthogonal, and while solving both of them are important, making self driving cars electric isn't a priority for most companies today.

I think the principle behind Carmack's letter is that factoring into multiple functions that all touch the same state is an illusion of reducing the burden on your memory. They still interact with each other via that state.

Pure functions, or your const T& situation, actually create smaller arenas of state. Splitting out multiple functions operating on the same object does not.

The best example of the Snowden fallout and the apathy around it was when John Oliver interviewed both Snowden and many people on the street. People on the street did not comprehend what NSA monitoring meant and did not care until John put it in terms they could understand. "So you are ok with the NSA seeing pictures and videos of your significant others junk you text (sext) back and forth?" "Oh, I would be furious if they were seeing that". That was how nearly every conversation went.

I think I have some relevant experience here.

We host all of our projects on github:

https://github.com/sqlalchemy/

yet we also use gerrit!

https://gerrit.sqlalchemy.org/

users send us pull requests, and they never have to deal with Gerrit ever. We use a custom integration, the source code to which is here: https://github.com/sqlalchemyorg/publishthing/tree/master/pu... and then we mostly bidirectional synchronization between Gerrit and Github pull requests (code changes can move freely from Github PR -> gerrit, comments and code review comments are posted bidirectionally, Gerrit status changes are synchronized into the PR - example: https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/pull/5662

I continue to find Gerrit's code review to be vastly better than Githubs. Gitlab would take tremendous server resources to run internally and I like Github much better for the front-facing experience.

I wrote about an earlier form of our integration here: https://techspot.zzzeek.org/2016/04/21/gerrit-is-awesome/

to sum up:

1. your project benefits massively by being on Github

2. Gerrit is awesome (for me)

3. gitlab is not very appealing to me UX-wise and self-hosting wise

4. you can still use pull requests from outside users and use gerrit for code reviews.

Hi! I'm the PM at GitLab who works on Snippets, so thanks for providing this feedback. We do have Recaptcha support which can be configured - are you seeing these kinds of issues with that enabled/configured?

One item that is on the roadmap that is coming and may be of interest is `Optional Admin Approval for local user sign up` - https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4491.

I'm not in the group working on that, but it does appear to be coming soon and would limit the ability of newly created accounts from doing anything until they're approved.

Rocket launch technology was at a standstill for 30-40 years until Elon Musk founded SpaceX. 15 years later they built reusable rockets. The cost of putting something into orbit is likely to drop by a factor of 100-1000 when SpaceX's next rocket is up and running sometime in the next few years.

It seems like such a waste of time for people to try and debunk these claims from people who are very competent and have access to the best in people and technology. Do they want a world where people don't try new things and make great improvements? One should really encourage people with a track record of getting people together to do amazing things to continue to do so. Elon Musk has stated that he thought that SpaceX had a 10% chance of success. I'm glad he could look at that chance of failure and tried anyway.

This is quite unfair.

Boost.container::vector implements the full standard vector interface (that's already a large interface), plus quite a few non-standard extensions (significantly it has built-in support for default initialization).

Boost.container also has support for stateful allocators and custom pointer types so that it can be used, for example, on shared memory (in fact boost container was originally a sub-library of boost.interprocess). That alone will increase the complexity significantly.

It also I believe still support pre-c++11 (and substandard post c++11) compilers, so there is a lot of compiler workarounds and emulation of c++11 features.

Also, being a template, the whole implementation is just in the _header_.

How on earth is the same set of UI icons supposed to keep their readability against vastly different background colors? If you want to do a proper job of that, your application needs to become aware of dark mode anyway and ship with a separate set of icons.

Yes, in terms of raw flexibility exposed to the user, customizable color schemes look great on the surface. They work to some degree, but fail utterly for a wide range of cases in practice. Not having them is progress after a fashion because it means giving up on an flawed idea. I will admit, though, that it is not easy to see why it is flawed when you haven't tried to design custom controls that have to convey more state than can be expressed using the standard OS colir palette.

It's a story I've been told. Candidate is being interviewed for a senior position, there are three employees conducting the interview: one HR rep, one (non-technical) manager and one senior engineer.
The engineer supposed to help with the interview arrived late so the HR rep and manager briefed him, basically telling him the interview was going well and that they were considering hiring him unless he had any objections.

Going back, he asked the candidate a simple Fizz Buzz question, something like finding the largest element in an array. All hell broke loose suddenly. He was outraged and started telling them that, back in his country he was a university professor and that this was beneath him. The interview ended with the candidate arguing for 10 minutes that he shouldn't have to do this test. If I recall, at this point the senior engineer just left the room and didn't bother with the remaining 15 minutes of the interview.

Needless to say they didn't hire him. HR was shocked as he seemed to be a great hire.

Fast forward a few years later, I'm the one interviewing and I systematically get great resumes who can't implement a simple version of word count in 30 minutes.

I've lived off of each main release of the Pi and a few other SBCs. I've stuck to running 32bit releases for the time being because of bad experiences with 64bit issues.

Things are much more livable currently with SBCs largely adopting faster USB, PCIE or EMMC storage.

Even as an ARM enthusiast we are still years away from the average person being happy with the experience so tailor your expectations accordingly.

The problem (I probably didn't paraphrase Raskin well) is when you slow down & think for a half a second, you context switch from "I need to do operation" to "I need to make this dialog box go away".

No matter what tasks are required to make the dialog box go away - doing math, retyping a message, clicking a randomly ordered box - that becomes the top task in your head and you "forget" about the original task until you finish this task.

Once you resolve the interruption, you switch context back to the original task and then you still have that "oh crap" moment.

Yes, sometimes undo is very difficult, and can require a system designed to support that ability as a first-class feature from the start. Many systems you can perform rollbacks, but there are definitely destructive actions - in which case you should have test stacks to validate your actions in advance, and peer review. (e.g. dual keys to launch the missiles)
My proposal is that we treat liability in the self driving car space similar to the way we have a specialized liability framework for vaccines [1]. Similar to vaccines, self driving cars would lead to reduced deaths on aggregate, but there are cases where the technology fails and people are injured/killed. In the case of vaccines, consumers cannot sue the manufacturers using regular courts but instead there is a separate system where the standard for liability is much higher.

>Cars are extremely useful

I agree, but I also think this is part of the problem.

Choosing to use public transportation for longer distances is a significant personal cost, while the benefit of lower costs in externalities is almost invisible.

Conversely, driving a car has a comparatively lower personal cost, essentially negative, since it increase freedom of movement. But the externalities are conveniently hidden by our economic and political systems.

> My argument is that `std::optional` should not have an operator* at all. `kj::Maybe` does not have operator* nor `operator->`.

That’s fair.

>> If you want to dereference an optional that may be null, use the .value_or() method. For the times when you absolutely know the optional has a value use operator

> This is putting a lot of cognitive load on the developer. They must remember which of their variables are optionals,

Not really. Teams with programmers that are bad at keeping track of the state of their variables can simply have a policy to always use .value_or()/.value()

C++ doesn’t impose this on its users because it generally assumes its users are responsible enough to make their own policy.

> The fact that they use the same syntax to dereference makes it very easy to get wrong.

I disagree, the operator* has the same semantics as pointers did, making it no more semantically hazardous. There exists other methods on optional that have the behavior you want.
It basically needs to be extremely contagious without symptoms that stop the spread - like killing the host.

> The key is to realize the cars themselves killed density.

People have very naive explanations of why the US is so bad at density and urbanism. Canada and Australia, which are very similar to the US, have very dense cities like Montreal, Toronto, and Melbourne. Do they not have cars in Canada and Australia? If you want to find the real reason why all other developed countries have dense cities with good public transport, but the US doesn't, you need to look at what's different between the US and all other developed countries.

Has anyone built something to try to automate setting up spaced repetition?

For example, I've looked up numerous PHP functions on www.php.net, numerous Python functions on docs.python.org, numerous Perl modules on metacpan.org or with the perldoc command, and numerous JavaScript functions on MDN.

It would be neat if there was something that could automatically note what I've looked up, and turn that into flash cards for use with something like Anki.
Anything visible without login will be visible to people who want to follow a bare URL to your tracker and visible to a search engine crawler, making it visible to people without a URL who just search for the issue. That is, indeed, a plus.

But even if you require login to post stuff to the issue tracker, creating a login and posting a comment has been trivially automated.

You're no longer running a useful issue tracker, you're running a free ad network: you're hosting a dozen useful issues and a thousand advertisements and blackhat SEO comments for spammers.

If it's not visible to search engines, and your repo doesn't get much traffic, it's not nearly as valuable to spammers. It's kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face, but those basic economics of cost to spammers, cost to users, value to spammers, and value to users are the only rules that you can really apply when hosting content on the Internet.
What are Lead Generation forms
Because spammers fill the publicly viewable things-- like snippets and user profiles-- with spam. If it can be viewed without logging in, then they get it indexed with Google and it dilutes the search results.

Nobody views snippets and user profiles as a common part of daily development, so it takes time away from development to investigate those things to prune them. And if you don't prune it fast enough, it gets into the search results at which point it's even more of a pain in the ass to remove (even using Google's webmaster tools).

So Cadillac is calling it what it really is, a Super Cruise, not self-driving, not auto pilot, not AI-magic.

> Grid batteries have slightly different requirements compared to EV batteries. Weight/volume doesn't matter. Charge speed isn't a priority. [...]

I have the impression that Tesla tweaks the chemistry depending on the application. The cells used for power wall and grid storage might be slightly different to take advantage of those differences.

While weight/volume isn't important itself, reducing the weight/volume per kWh will also tend to reduce the cost per kWh since you're using less materials.

There are storage solutions that go further in taking advantage of the points you mention, such as flow batteries, but in that case I think it can be expensive to get high power output. The article mentions that price per kW is also important. With batteries you automatically get more watts the more watt-hours you add, which is useful in many cases.
