Out of context yes. I should have said that with respect to which language pick up next and which language has a bigger future potential. Rust is so omnivore and hits on so many critical aspects that it is hard to deny it. Given it had rich and mature ecosystem now how many would pick Scala? Those who prefer GC pauses and have a hard dependency on JVM? But even then you are pitted against Kotlin and Java itself. I would say quite tough times are awaiting Scala 3 and not only on individual level but on company level. It is still unclear how much the migration will take and whether it is worth it in the first place.

that's intuition, not science. that doesn't mean it's not useful, it's just not useful as science. the point of the appeal to authority fallacy is to identify and unbias us against that kind of rhetorical trap in argumentation.
Although I really like the idea that $100k of my tax dollars are not going to be spent housing and prosecuting someone for having $20 of crack or meth or whatever. My worry is this will attract an influx of people with addiction problems and a list of unintended consequences that could come with legalizing all drugs. I remember reading/hearing(NPR maybe), that when Florida took a harder stance against Doctors prescribing Oxycontin making it more difficult for people to acquire and abuse, there was an exodus of people to states that had more relaxed laws. These folks basically moved to a different state where they could support their addiction.

People don't become addicts because it's fun, something typically leads them down that road and perhaps the best strategy is to help them with their mental health issues and heavily prosecute the enablers/dealers/suppliers whether it's some guy down the street or a country like China.

> Raspberry Pi 400 computer with choice of six keyboard countries (more to follow)

You could probably expect the same layouts that they already do for their normal keyboard. They do Japanese but that appears to be about it outside of Europe and North America.

However, from https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/technology/raspberry-pi-400-...

> At launch, there are six different region-based keyboard layouts - UK, US, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. The company told The Verge that there are additional variants for the Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Portuguese, and Japanese markets on the way. The Raspberry Pi is available in the US, UK, and France initially, with availability in Italy, Germany, and Spain starting next week. The company also plans to bring the Raspberry Pi in markets like India, Australia, and New Zealand by the end of this year.

So maybe there will be some Indian layouts? Note: I have no idea if that is a thing.

Are you sure that having privately owned and operated communications infrastructure will actually prevent any of the things you're concerned about?

For example, AT&T rolled right over when the government wanted more access to their infrastructure after 9/11, even though it was pretty clearly illegal.
In that specific case decriminalization would indeed help, those caught stealing to feed an addiction that end up with a criminal record then face the difficult reality of trying to find employment with a that record. On top of that doing jail time often means soliciting with other criminals, making contacts and building the wrong kinds of networks.

Decriminalization in combination with rehab and community service programs sets those people up for a far better chance of overcoming addiction.
> Other developed countries have, for decades, reliably given results within hours of polls closing, without "automation or obscure technology".

How do these other countries handle mail-in ballots? In most (maybe all) US states, a ballot postmarked on election day is valid as long as it is received by some specific point (usually Friday) after election day. Thus, in the US there are an undetermined number of valid votes that have not even been received by election officials yet.

> The only thing that is being limited are pulls from the Docker Hub.

Yes.

> If you're doing integration tests for a bunch of microsevices, you might have some 20 upstream images that you need to pull.

Yes.

> Those can stay in your cache until they are updated (which is rare and predictable, because you're pinning versions, right?).

Not necessarily. You dockerize an app prior to running non-unit tests tests, and that image needs to be stored by a container registration service.

With this change, Docker Hub's ceases to be that service.

> You do your building and testing and all that entirely on your "own" infrastructure and then you push once test succeds.

Nope, the point is that Docker Hub ceases to be relevant as a container registry. As long as you start to do all your work outside of Docker Hub, you won't need Docker Hub to do any of the work. You just get your base images from where you store your own container images and suddenly Docker Hub stops playing any role in your workflow, thus losing al relevance.

Thanks for sharing this. I take goodread reviews very lightly, especially for new books which I figure are either done by folks who get early access, book bloggers, etc.. (which I assume comes with their own bias at the pleasure of early access) and now throwing in 'bots' into the mix..gross!

I did enjoy 'The Humans' and 'How to stop time' but would never mark either of them as 5 star books, mainly because I would count books like 'Madam Bovary' or 'Rebecca'or 'Crime and Punishment' as a 5-star book. Nonetheless the praise for Midnight Library irked me before I even took a look at it. Folks are so keen on jumping to 5-stars without a critical approach to it.

Rather than a single 1-5 star system, a questionnaire with 1-5 stars for aspects of a book could be a better way to rate.

From 1-5 how would you rate:
1. the plot
2. enjoyability
3. character development
4. etc...

and then average out the scores across each aspect to get the user's score on the book.

Obviously there is incentive for goodreads to push for 5-star reviews all around, for the most part, because who wants to buy a 1-3.5 star book from Amazon? Also a larger scale or more options to choose from with rating would lead to lower conversion of rating submissions.

I won't claim to be perfect about rating books either, but its appalling when a book like 'The Midnight Library' (4.3 as of this time) has a higher rating than 'Crime and Punishment' (4.2).
LOL the simpler tax code or laws are, the more open they are to interpretation. You've got things backwards here.

This is an incredibly poor analysis.

If you allow mail in votes that are accepted as long as they are postmarked by election day, you can't certify the counts on election day unless a majority of registered voters' ballots have arrived by election day. It's as simple as that.

The contention is mostly in a small number of states where the Republican party has engineered electoral corruption in order to retain control, combined with the winner-take-all nature of electoral votes in most states. Most states conduct elections with few problems and little drama.

If the president were elected by popular vote at the national level there would be far less contention because the margin in any given local election would be much less meaningful.
I'm trying to figure out if you're being sarcastic. I'll assume not.

Prop 13 is the landmark example of a ballot initiative that set super-majority thresholds for legislature. In it's case, the ability to create new taxes-- a property which has been specifically (and unsuccessfully) litigated against: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/la-xpm-2011-dec-26-la-oe-new...
Well this may be a good test of your theory. I'd rather try a theory than speculate forever.
It's unreasonable to demand the results of an election when some states have not yet even received all the legally cast mail-in ballots. Further, Republican legislatures in three states forced through new rules this election to block the counting of mail-in ballots until after election day making it impossible to have instant results.

And it's bizarre to indict our vote counting system based on the fact that it's hard for the media to guess the winner from incomplete data. Nobody wins any electoral college votes until the Secretary of State certifies the results. It takes a while because they make sure all the votes are counted first. This is a feature not a bug.

There are some real issues in election administration in the US, but this ain't it. If it were up to me, I'd ban the release of uncertified election results, at least for a few days. The problem he identifies is one of expectations.
No it hasn't. Please stop saying this. If you read their actual financial filings instead of press releases, it is very clear that they are not profitable on a GAAP basis without accounting games in any region, especially this year. They hide their unprofitability with non-GAAP figures and loss allocation to departments where they don't really belong (ex. technology development).
I hope this leads to things like being able to update or change the horrific UIs of the entertainment centers.

One ridiculous example from just the other day when I rented a 2020 Jeep Cherokee: The toggle for turning on the backup camera is in the audio settings for some inexplicable reason. No, that is not a typo.

There are forums full of people discussing how to buy after market doohickies to turn on/have a backup cam on while driving to, e.g., monitor a trailer hitch … while the toggle is in the audio settings, at least in the 2020.

This is a huge, global, multi-billion dollar company that did that … handicapping basic functionality of the $30,000+ vehicle. Just think about that for a second.
And this is why I've never notified anyone about any security issues I find, better to laugh and move on.

Printers don’t still suck. You just have to spend proper money on one if you want it to be nice. Like every other consumer product.

My HP OfficeJet 9015 is fantastic. It’s fast, automatic duplex printing, automatic duplex scanning. Recognized by every wireless device I own (Windows 10, macOS, iOS) automatically with zero software installs. AirPrint is fantastic.

Yes, that’s a $200+ printer. Probably most people are going out and buying $50 all-in-one printers and complaining about how they suck. No shit!

And IMO the ink cartridges are priced reasonably enough. I could swear they didn’t used to be this cheap but I don’t have any kind of ink price index or anything.
It sounds like they have a physical switch. This module is able to read the switch state and set some indicator LEDs accordingly.

It is not a priori true that a minimum wage is not utility maximizing, depending on the regime of the supply/demand curve we're on. This is supercharged when you consider the diminishing marginal returns to wealth.

Setting aside the possibility that Earth life is already an ancient alien nanotech AI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia ), and assuming that humans are unique in the Universe, the rest of the entire Universe is pretty much predictable. There may be some poetic physics going on out there (I mean, of course there is, the Universe is beautiful!) but unless there's another planet of insane ape-men out there somewhere ours is the only show in town.

For what it's worth, your suggestion is very similar to the way that electricity is sold where I live - I pay separate prices for electricity generation (where I can choose) and electricity delivery (where I cannot choose).

I'm not going to pretend to know all the pros/cons, but it is reliable and cheaper than average.
There's a more to reliable software than static typing. See eg Erlang and its stellar record in building reliable systems.

Static types aren't necessarily the best fit for distirbuted systems, network protocols, asynchrony etc.
As I mentioned in a sibling post, that's a legal defense in the event such a drastic reaction occurs. Not a foolproof preventative measure to ensure it doesn't.

Involving your lawyer isn't a foolproof preventative measure either. But your lawyer having an established line of communication with their lawyers can get things cleared up a whole helluva lot faster than if you get booked, have no lawyer, and are having to find and get one up to speed only after you're sitting in jail.

Make this program available only for artists that have less than X Monthly Listeners, Give users the option to disable "boosted tracks" and set a reasonable ratio of organic/boosted songs (less than 5%, for example).

Some music distributors like The Orchard are doing something "similar" from their workstations: you can use the money you've generated from organic streams (and I think you can actually "borrow" the money they expect you to generate during the next quarter) to create paid campaigns on Facebook, Twitter and other social media.

Road to Project Success with Git: An Another Git Workflow
This is part of the fallacy in this mess that climate change has become.

If the US evaporated from the planet, nothing would change. In fact, atmospheric CO2 levels would continue to rise.

Humanity cannot solve this problem by subtraction.

If ALL of humanity left the planet, it would take 100,000 years for a 100 ppm drop in CO2.

That means we can’t solve it by eliminating fossil fuels, cars, trucks, planes, etc. We can’t solve it with solar panels. And we sure as heck know the Paris accord can’t solve it either.

It is astounding to me to see see how we continue to talk about this problem from the perspective of a premise that is completely false.

I personally find it useful. As a CS researcher, if I want to delve into a new topic (for example, because a specific line of work comes out where I think my research could be applicable) I typically can start by directly reading the paper I'm interested in, and in the introduction I'll find a brief history and some references I need to look at for context.

It's much better than having to look through all the relevant papers in that topic in the last decades in order because they all assume knowledge of the past ones.

Of course, I know there are survey papers, and they can be very useful, but they're typically going to be too general and not specifically oriented to what you need to understand that specific paper you're interested in. Plus, you inherit the biases of whomever compiled the survey, which in my experience are often significant.

Yeah, they can have no minimum wage because they have organized labor. But if you’re a 1099 for Uber and you attempt to organize a union, you’ll just get fired.

Without the ability to form a union, or wage protection, workers are going to be racing to the bottom.
You can buy "LED dimming stickers" as well, which are semi-transparent and come in various shapes and sizes. A bit more aesthetically pleasing than painters tape if you care about that. Sounds a bit gimmicky, but they're cheap and I like them.

The Pi became part of my essential hardware for flying with the Stratux project. You could plug an RTL-SDR into a Pi, add a wifi adapter, and have it broadcast weather and other ADS-B equipped aircraft to some of the flying tools. With Avare, ForeFlight, FlyQ (most of the other EFB software out there except Garmin) it will overlay the information on the moving map.

He is not claiming the problems are recent either. He is explicitly saying the problems predate even the disputed 2000's cycle.

His point stripped of the vitriol is the trust in the system is eroded when there is substantial delays in declaring the result.

It is important in a fragile democracy to declare the results without delay, it is also why countries like Brazil do it fast.

Sadly America is a fragile democracy today, the sitting President inability to commit to peaceful transfer of power , prematurely claiming victory, trying to stop counting , or constant attacks on the integrity of the election and fraudulent votes , if it is any other country you would agree without question.

It is by design that each state has heterogeneous voting system , However while nation thinks it votes for the president it is just voting a guidance to their legislature on who the electors should be,there is no constitutional protection otherwise. Just this election 15$/hour minimum wage and other policy items have been passed by same people who have voted for trump , clearly policy is not deciding factor to elect the president.

It is important to align the system to what people think they are voting for,

A ‘45’ is a small vinyl record played at 45rpm instead of the more common 33rpm for the regular ‘long play’ or ‘LP’ vinyl record.

A ‘45’ fits only a song each side, so usually for releasing singles.

Canada doesn't have anything like a President. The Prime Minister is chosen the way the US chooses the Speaker of the House. That's far far more important than the details of the administration of voting.

As I understand it, this can be repealed in the same way and with the same margins as it was passed by getting majority support for another ballot proposition repealing it. The 7/8ths provision only applies to attempts by the legislature to mess with it.

The main reason is that multirotors are a much more recent solution, and they started as small unmanned vehicles because the regulation is much simpler (the requirements for airworthiness certification for multirotors are not standardized yet). But I believe that we will see more and more applications for multirotors in the future. As a concept, they are safer than helicopters, with much simpler mechanics.

It is interesting that the only way to draw attention to this issue was via Twitter DM. For many big companies this seems to be the one place where you can hope to get a response.

For example, a year ago I was in a pinch and ended up booking a flight on Delta via Twitter DM.

The problem with this is that the escalation chain and documentation to go along with it is unclear. The author could only hope that he was being connected with the right people. Likewise, I was just crossing my fingers that there was, indeed, a ticket waiting for me.
