Ah! That makes so much sense. It hadn't occurred; when we rolled out BPF at Fly, the first thing we did was commit to standardize our kernels. After all, there's not much CO-RE can do about your BPF compiler not having tail calls, or not allowing bounded loops. But we're almost entirely XDP; I can see kernel structs being a much bigger problem for people doing observability work.
As I understand it, the NPVIC will never happen. Its entire purpose, as expalained in a CGP Grey video, was creating a situation where no one state has to move first by making the agreement only take effect once a certain number of electoral votes are accounted for.

The problem is that this agreement is expressly unconstitutional by way of article 1 section 10: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, [...] enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State

While states are allowed to divvy up their EVs within their own borders however they choose, this kind of interstate agreement to do so in a certain way is illegal, and bipartisan congressional support to circumvent the electoral college seems unlikely.
No, they did not want a "custom LGBT themed cake", they requested a cake that happened to be for gay people getting married.

> If you believe they should have been forced to do that you are an authoritarian.

It's about as authoritarian as saying that businesses had to integrate and serve interracial couples despite business owners claiming that their religions forbid race mixing, which is exactly what they claimed several decades ago.
I genuinely wonder what gave you this impression. Dijkstra made seminal contributions to at least three subfields of computer science: algorithms (his optimal shortest path algorithm), programming languages (ALGOL -with others, but still- and his "goto considered harmful" paper), and concurrency theory (semaphores), just to state the most well-known ones...
I lived in NE WA and still have property there (working our way back out there). The hubris and ignorance displayed by many wolf management critics often knows no bounds. They are often completely unaware of how range land is priced and managed nor how the wolf management program works.

However, with all the concern expressed for the gray wolf, I have yet to see wolves re-introduced into the many acres of protected greenspace on the west side of the state.

I am sure the western side the Cascades can use more wolves to cut down the deer overpopulation and coyotes.

personally i think we'd see much much much more console-ification of gaming, already, if Steam wasn't around, and to a lesser degree if Linux wasn't an option.

keeping game dev alive outside of the narrow walled gardens is very much a real challenge, a real problem, and Steam keeping a free & libre OS in a good state for gaming, & a flexible OS that they can be creative & take new risks & ventures on, unlike the fixed, closed operating systems, is more than a threat to keep the giant honest, it's a way to keep the ecosystem healthy, and a way to insure Valve can adapt & create & try new things. Linux, for Valve as for many others, is freedom, and it matters, here & now, & especially, ongoingly.
If it were so "blatantly obvious" then it should be easy for someone to provide statistical evidence of such behavior. Why don't you provide any references to support your claims?
There were 8 real accidents on the road. In all 8 of those real accidents the airbags were deployed. Safety drivers were in some of those cars and took control of the vehicle at some point. When the safety drivers in the car took control; they performed evasive maneuvers that reduced the potential outcome from "most severe or potentially severe" to something less severe.

When the engineers reviewed all of these 8 crashes they played them back watching what the humans did, then they put all of the constraints into their simulation and let the AI take over. When they say "Three of these crashes occurred in real life and five only in simulation" that means that 3 severe crashes happened in real life and the AI would have cause 5 more "severe" crashes had the humans not taken control.
I came here originally thinking this was going to be about stuff like how before CNC, machining lathes had series of levers and knobs that controlled gearing that would then cut different patterns into the part being machined.

I watched a great video on Adam Savage's YouTube channel [1] about his lathe and setting up the levers to make nuts and bolts on it. Thus mechanically programming.

If they did this I think it would a massive PR issue. People would probably start destroying Waymo cars if this happened. I sure wouldn't be happy if self-driving cars became mass surveillance tools.
> Letting cars have priority lets people with wealth and opportunity have priority.

I would actually argue the opposite. As the saying goes, "Location, Location, Location." Many of the wealthiest people / most expensive homes are either walking distance to or in the middle of big hubs. The next most expensive places are walking distance to public transport to take them to big hubs. You can get a much cheaper place if you go to somewhere that's an hour's drive outside the city with no public transport (or the only public transport available is by bus), and that's what many people do to cut down on costs.

You've also mentioned that cars probably shouldn't be able to go even as fast as 40kmph when pedestrians could cross... Should we be making all of our highways 30kmph now if we're saying pedestrians should be able to cross them at-will?

FWIW, you can do this in Slack itself (on iOS, see You > Notifications > Notification Schedule).

iOS 13 added time- and location-triggered Shortcuts (see Automation, but Slack doesn't expose this functionality to Shortcuts, and (as you note) Apple hasn't yet exposed iOS notification controls to Shortcuts.
What I also found is that Racket is a very good match to Rust, in a similar style as writing Python and extending it with translated C code where speed is needed. The advantage is that both languages allow for a functional style and Racket is much faster than Python.

Racket is, almost like Clojure, highly interactive (though not completely so, it has a conceptual separation of compile time and run time), and on top of that, it can call easily into a C ABI, which Rust provides. Both languages (Rust and Racket) are well-suited for writing pure functions returning immutable results which allows for a nice match in style. Calling across the language boundary is a bit slower than in the Python/C case but it can achieve a decent speed-up. Racket's places allow for parallel execution with almost separate memory images, and it also has green threads. And Racket has batteries such as a GUI toolkit and image data types included which is really nice.
Quite usable. With proton many Windows games work out of the box with quite good performance. These days most of the issues are due to DRM and anticheat breaking games that oterwise would run perfectly.

I often stream from my steam running on my linux desktop to the steam box connected to my TV and that also work fine.

GPU support is really independent of steam, but these days both Nvidia and AMD have pretty good drivers.

What specifically was your problem with grpc c++ async? I'm using async C++ with one CQ per core and it seems to more or less work.
I have a blog on medium as well, I just haven't been motivated to contribute to it for a while. It may be my "reach" as others have stated. I like pushing out the small tutorials that I write, but I just can't justify 3 hours (ish) of work for < $1.50/mo

I also don't want to have to buy a domain and have a hosting service to push my own site having to load it up with ads or other nonsense just to make a side hustle possible. So I stick with Medium.

Looking at any recent election will show you the discrepancy quite clearly - the difference they are referring to is the difference between popular vote percentages (nationwide) and number of MPs for a given party (FPTP split by constituency). Parties with high popular vote percentages often get very few to no representatives because they were never the top candidate in any constituency.

That's usually the response I get from people when I point this out. It really is a fantastic documentary as far as production and storytelling goes. I felt the same when I watched it.

And then everything crashed when I looked up the details. It went from "awesome" to "Man, how evil were those filmmakers?"

My apologies.
> The auth story isn't very clear. Do you use the out of band setup or add tokens in every single RPC?

I think it's actually quite well documented. [1]

You can have out-of-band authentication data per-connection ('per-channel') and per-RPC ('per-call'). SSL certificates can be used per-connection, while token-based authentication (eg. bearer tokens, or anything else that can fit in metadata) can be either.

GIFs are inefficient and pretty resource intensive, if possible use video formats instead. Modern machines are optimized for running video so they work quite a bit better.
I would be sensitive to the "TPC under RCV are more likely to be extremists" argument were it not for the fact that FPTP has already allowed profound extremism in one of our two parties, and since FPTP is so anti-competitive it means that it's extremely difficult to combat. I'll take a system that makes parties more competitive, which non-FPTP systems all do.
I've never heard of co-pasturing donkeys to combat predators before. How does that work? That's neat.

That sounds interesting; do you have a download link?
Roam is the app I love to hate. I love it, but I really wish a competitor was built with a focus purely on speed, security, and reliability (plus the roam innovative linked references and tagging). I suspect a large % of users are over served by all the intricate features and many just want something basic with bi directional links that’s fast, secure and reliable, which is exactly the disruption-ripe scenario Christensen describes.

Every time I use roam I have a slight fear in the back of my head it’s going to lose some of my notes or have a data breach.
At my workplace we use gRPC for inter service and client service communication from a VueJS SPA. It took some effort but is working really great right now. A colleague wrote a blog post (actually entire series) about it:

I used IFTT for quite a while but eventually moved over to Huginn (https://github.com/huginn/huginn) because it fit my needs a little better. I've been over the moon with it so far and really like how it's event driven.

I'm glad to see they're still doing well, and I'd still recommend them to non-technical friends but huginn is a lot more enjoyable to use and I found it really simple on a day-to-day basis.
I work on (embedded) hardware and completely agree with you, with a couple of addenda. Hardware crowdfunding is a great way to check for some product-market fit, and access early adopters; it isn't a great way to fund hardware R&D, especially for commoditized goods (where pricing is dictated by competition).
Dashboard cameras are a thing already.

From your linked court document: "In July 2012, Craig and Mullins visited Masterpiece, a bakery in Lakewood, Colorado, and requested that Phillips design and create a cake to celebrate their same-sex wedding."

> Notebooks as we know them today have many pain points (versioning, reproducibility, collaboration)

Absolutely. We're solving a small part of this by making notebooks play nicely with GitHub (https://reviewnb.com). Code reviews & collaboration for Jupyter Notebooks, essentially.

Happy to see more products taking a stab at this problem. I'd be curious to know how you implement version control (git or something else) & what kind of experiences does that translate to for the user. Congrats on the launch!
It would make more sense to me if black holes had no internals, so the matter exists on the surface of the horizon. No infinities, and the matter can slowly escape over time. Maybe something in the nature of gravity which prevents more than a certain density to exist in any place and time.

Very fun site! I was recently making a page with a throwback tone and was disappointed to find out browsers don't support playing standard midi files (not without javascript workarounds). I know this is old news, it must be the first time I've tried to play midi on a website in at least 10 years, but it really surprised me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7677366/about-embed-midi...
Almost, it should how much improvement the AI needs to avoid collisions a human driver did avoid. The AI might avoid collisions that the human didn't.

In other words, you need 0 simulated collisions to be strictly better than a human driver (in the same setting). Not ~equal with sometimes better and sometimes worse.

In this case, the title initially led me to believe IFTTT was throwing in the towel.
My claim was that the site pushes a blatantly false narrative, not that science is a popularity contest.

This paper you've cited supposedly showing positive results is a preprint and has not been published yet, which suggests it hasn't satisfied the peer review process in whichever journal it is intended to be published in. The study was also suspended partway through so it's unlikely it'll ever be completed. I don't entirely disagree that science is a pure numbers game (only papers that stand up to peer review, not only from the journal but from the wider scientific community are worth consideration), but you're undermining your own argument with this poor selection of a paper. If it does eventually end up published, and doesn't have too many glaring issues with its methodology pointed out (some of which are already indicated in the comments on medrxiv), it may be worth mentioning in the future but it certainly isn't right now. And the existence of this paper doesn't make the site's analysis any less dishonest. Suggesting 100% of papers of some particularly category when only one (in actuality none) exist is clearly wrong, and intentionally misleading if not dishonest.

I also don't entirely agree that numbers don't matter. Given a set of papers that are published, properly peer reviewed, and don't have any glaring issues with their methodology, it certainly matters if the vast majority demonstrate something while a tiny number suggest something else. This would indicate that tiny number are outliers, and may have had some problems that weren't immediately obvious. Otherwise, their results would have been reproducable which is a key indication of the validity of their empirical data.

There are also other, better studies that show negative results or no benefit. Why did you pick this particular one?
Agreed. Libertarians will probably put Republicans as preference 2, and similarly for Green -> Dems. It should, however, get more people out to vote, and that's a good thing.

It also gives hard feedback to the parties about their constituent's real politics. If a party wins but sees their votes mostly coming from #2 preferences, the next round of primaries will probably shift further from the center. Similarly, if they see themselves as #1, they can shift back towards the center.
>But the question is what are we optimizing for? The fewest crashes? That's probably the right thing to do given crashes are bad

Another thing to take into account is that not all crashes are equally bad. I wouldn't be surprised if getting rear ended 10 times was safer than a single t-bone or head on collision

Worries me that with post-smartphone technology it’s more valuable for companies to remove interoperability than to foster it.

Look at Instagram, you can’t even post a hyperlink because it’s more beneficial for them to prevent a fundamental internet feature.
Most of the functionality on the editors like vim and emacs comes from community based plugins. People would mostly not use them if there were no such expansions.
I hope it is clear that this is not what the original link is about. VLC can output ascii art like what aalib and libcaca can produce (namely try to simulate images using terminal output), while the submission is an animated scene by scene recreation of A New Hope using ascii art.
Over a long enough period, organizations tend to monopolize and limit what they allow on their platform.
My perception has always been that that game was under-appreciated. Nice to run into a fellow appreciator. I think it's also the only DRM[0] I've ever encountered that was a genuine pleasure to use (not that it would work today).

[0] - Conquests of the Longbow required you to use the book that came with it to look up lore like coats of arms, to identify plants by their leaves, find out about superstitions around gemstones, etc in order to solve the puzzles in the game. At the time, people generally pirated by passing around floppy disks, none of the kids pirating had access to xerox machines, and the information in the manual was obscure, so you really kinda needed to have the manual. But if you did have it, it almost felt like a natural part of the game, and the information was fun to learn. Of course, now you can easily find it online: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Documents/Manuals/Conquests_of_the...

Yeah, I quickly discovered it’s not functional and has a much different perspective on mutability, despite clearly being inspired in some aspects by FP.

As for performance, I don’t think it’s nearly as large a problem for FP in general as some make it out to be. OCaml and Haskell are typically quite fast, but of course they rely on GC, so they aren’t suitable for environments that are heavily resource constrained or where pauses are unacceptable.
It's not an emotional reaction - we have plenty of evidence about the negative impact of dehydration and no substantial evidence in favor of it.

From the court filing: "In July 2012, Craig and Mullins visited Masterpiece, a bakery in Lakewood, Colorado, and requested that Phillips design and create a cake to celebrate their same-sex wedding."

They requested that the bakers design the cake for their gay wedding yes. You can't make people design things for you if they don't want to. If you believe that people should be able to compel this sort of work then you are an authoritarian.

The cynical take is that company boards are often close knit and carefully networked old boys clubs full of people willing to screw over shareholders to help out each other, because a CEO in one company is often on the board for another company, which will then have some of the other board members in C level positions.
