,,inflation protection and avoiding capital controls are arguably the most impactful innovation since the internet''

I have lived before the internet, and asked myself the question if I would choose that world without internet, or go back to inflating my money, and for me it's obvious: I would rather give back internet than Bitcoin if I had to choose. Of course as Bitcoin sits mostly on top of internet, something like this is technically almost impossible :)
It's remarkable how the personality and ethics of founders (or early investor in Musk/Tesla) appear in how a company behaves, as in Zuckerberg/Facebook and Newmark/Craig's List for other examples.
A bogus report.
No the stuff that has been corroborated did not suggest any sort of bribery scheme with foreign governments, but nice try. The only few that have been authenticated do not indicate that they have been read or even went anywhere but a spam folder. Those precious few are also the least incriminating of the bunch. For some reason you and your ilk cannot seem to provide these same DKIM headers for the entire batch of email. Why is that I wonder?
I haven’t seen any research that indicates this.

Would you mind sharing your source?

Thanks!
The problem with that in more northern latitudes is permanent DST pushes the morning commute deep into darkness.

From a safety perspective, if you have to have one of the morning or evening commute in darkness, it is safer to have that one be the evening commute.

There are a couple reasons for this.

1. Mornings tend to be colder than evenings. In fact, the early mornings before sunrise are often the coldest time of the day. You are more likely to have icy roads in the morning, more likely to have snow on the roads, more likely to have fog.

If you have to drive in the dark, evening dark is usually safer.

2. Schedules are more in sync in the morning. People tend to start out of the home activities over a narrower time range than the range of times they return to the home.

In particular, school gets out early enough that most non-adults are home before it gets dark in the evening, greatly reducing the number of pedestrians and bikes that people driving in the evening dark have to contend with compared to those in the morning dark.
And that is actually how it's supposed to work. The last thing you want is unattended-upgrades silently restarting services (read: which can fail the start bit) behind your back.

If the upgrade fails to restart nginx properly, your customers won't be seeing the pages they need to. If the upgrade fails to start sshd, you have just lost access to the system(s) you would need to fix. Plus my personal favourite: if the upgrade-and-restart breaks your message broker, EVERYTHING is on fire.

In most non-orchestrated, non-cloud-native environments the right way for security upgrades is to have them available, preinstalled and configured, but not yet active. What you do need is monitoring to tell you these things are waiting so you can apply them as soon as feasible.

Although to be fair, once you have orchestration, robust zero-downtime rollouts and a good CI to rebuild new versions as upgrades become available... that's a different story.
> inflation protection and avoiding capital controls are arguably the most impactful innovation since the internet

Inflation protection? Bitcoin lost one third of its value in the past three years. How is that inflation protection? You would have done better to hold most commodities or most currencies in that time period to protect from inflation, other than Bitcoin.
That phone in https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/igor113/15886453/8307124/830...
looks identical to an Ericsson Dialog:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson_Dialog (1964)

Was there a soviet-era clone of this phone? Or maybe Ericsson (Sweden) actually exported this to the Soviet Union during the 70s? That metallic red facia/dial cover thing looks decidedly non-scandinavian-market.

After tearing one down as a kid in the 80s I can attest to its mechanical robustness; I can certainly see why the soviet military would pick this model for their new submarine class in 1976.
You have to thank Borland's management for that.

Delphi and C++ Builder are still around, but now only some lucky enterprise employees get to play with them.

.NET Native and C++/CX were finally shaping up to be Microsoft's proper version of what .NET and Visual C++ should have been all along.

However they are the most recent victims of the whole Reunion reboot, .NET Native now has uncertain future, while C++/CX got replaced by C++/WinRT with a tooling at the same level as doing C++ ATL 2.0 in 2000.

Still, there is a certain guarantee of the underlying platform and respective languages being around.

Borland mismanagement was my hard lesson to only use tools from platform vendors. Not only did they decide to leave the indie developers, they were always late providing bindings to Microsoft SDKs.
Are Executive Orders considered hotfixes?
Yes, or they broke something themselves and replaced it, or fixed a loose cable without realising. There are so many possibilities but trying to get a shop worker to agree that it’s a software bug is going to be tough. My experience with these sort of things is that companies will generally do the opposite - make you do software resets for things that are obviously hardware issues.
And Muslims are storming over a few silly cartoons instead of protesting for Uighur.
Will PHP for food
Yes, it took months to ramp off it. She had starry vision whenever the lights turned off for several months after that, which doctors were pretty dismissive of. She claims to never have been quite the same since taking it (and she only ever took what the doctors described as a baby dose) but she seems quite fine and normal now, over a year later.

She's been on a lot of drugs, and the ramp down for this was by far the biggest pain. Compounding alone cost hundreds of dollars and tons of driving time to places that could actually compound it, all to get off the damn drug.

She was mostly prescribed it for pain/nerve damage.

Edit: that being said, her doctors did have patients who were on absolutely massive doses for the long term with basically little to no side effects, so I think it depends a lot on the person.
And Muslims today are storming over silly cartoons instead of supporting the Uighur.
I can hear Basil Poledouris’s Hymn to Red October just looking at the photos.
You missed the third type: those who don't know if they can do better, but are still early enough in their career to want to do everything themselves because it's exciting and they don't yet know what is worth doing yourself, and what you should trust history to have already done for you.
> And even then, so what?

I have to agree. The function of software is to reflect the state of reality as it is. Human sociopolitical reality is complicated; that's just a problem to deal with.
As I understand it, if you buy a non-salvage used car from another individual then the package follows the car. If you buy a salvage car then the package does not follow it as the car is officially junk (it also loses warranty, etc). If you buy a used car from Tesla they will remove the package before sale.

There's one case where Tesla apparently messed up and didn't remove the package from a car they re-sold until after sale. I can't find any other cases of that or removing packages during private sales.

edit: This seems to be about Tesla discouraging salvage cars rather than private sales of non-salvage cars.
I don't think this is a good idea. People on average take a long time to develop the intuition about numbers and units. Just look how the US resists to change to metric units. Just using UTC would require everyone require a new intuition about times, and what is even worse, a different one in each location. Time zones are bad enough, but they keep the rough approximation that 12:00 is about the middle of the day. And in some regions, people just tend to be a bit "late" to compensate for their timezone weirdness.

Also, it would make any kind of writing about times basically impossible. Whenever you write a sentence like: "they met at 18:30" most people would understand that this means the early evening. But when you read: "they went for a swim at 20:00 UTC" you don't know what that means, until you know where they meet. And happen to know the timezone offset. Or have to google it. Every time you read a sentence like that.
That's true- you had to wait for prime Alfred Bester for a few years still.
They have a lathe in the submarine. Nice!
I suspect this is driven by the fact that a boatload of small companies suddenly had to get their businesses online in a hurry. By number of websites and e-commcerce platforms for small businesses, PHP is massive. By amount of use in +$1M ARR established tech companies, it's miniscule. Covid no doubt drove a lot more of the former this year.
While I don’t believe any of this is acceptable, I understand the supercharger disable for salvage title vehicles. Tesla has no idea what damage has been done to the battery pack and how they were or were not repaired. If the car catches fire while supercharging then Tesla is the one in the news, not the company that rebuilt the car.

Battery safety and compliance testing is going to be a big industry in the next decade as a result IMO.
What did you use to build that site? It looks really neat. Is it some hugo template?
Nope is a very quite good example, because one can compare it to Emacs, vim, Sublime Text loaded with a similar set of plugins.

And it isn't an IDE, rather a programmer's text editor.

The Apple ecosystem is great in my experience for used devices if you don't mind that. My like now iPhoneSE (old model) was £100 off eBay, works great. The macbook is 7 years old, pretty good - some plastic iffy. Both still run the latest software, are fast etc.
No. I actually did mean latitude because that affects the length of the day at different times of the year. On the equator, there's not much point. Presumably, you're in a timezone that makes general sense relative to typical work patterns so that the sun is up during your awake time. Conversely, live in northern Alaska and you probably have almost too much sun in the summer so no need to optimize and it's dark enough in the winter that no fiddling with timezones is going to give you enough light.
> Anything that in any way reduces the flow of virus particles by definition reduces the spreading of the virus.

On an individual level yes. On a population level, probably. But studies are few (and difficult, relying on natural experiments).

The important question isn’t whether a mask reduces transmission but how much people change behavior. For example: you really need to go somewhere and the bus looks full. Does people wearing masks on the bus increase the likelihood that you get on it? You don’t want that to happen

So is Bitcoin.
I love that at the end they have the instructions for how to properly pressurize the toilet so it would flush. And warnings to make sure you flush it properly or you’ll be severely punished because people live near the head in that sector.
Ugh. I'm so sick of this shit. Why can't we just own the car if we buy it? I was actually researching a model 3 recently, now I have to go scratch it off the list.
If you want to try Lightning out - and see for yourself whether or not it is vaporware - the easiest way to do that is to get a mobile Lightning wallet such as Eclair (fairly easy) or BlueWallet (easiest) from your appstore. As I mentioned, ManyVids accepts Lightning payments for a real product, as does https://www.bitrefill.com/ (phone refills, gift cards, etc). For testing with smaller amounts, https://yalls.org/ will let you buy access to blog posts for trivial amounts of money (eg one cent).
The argument I was responding to was "Karabakh became Azeri land in the 20th century because Russia wanted to appease Turkey", and I'm saying that the maps show the land has been under Azeri control during 9th-17th centuries (and Ottoman/Russian after).

A discussion on whether being a majority ethnicity gives Armenia the right for occupation would be quite complicated and unsuitable one for a tech forum.
> Most machines use UTC internally

No, they rally aren't. Most machines use Posix time internally, and the fact that it doesn't reflect real-world leap seconds is a problem.
I am not sure what methodology they are using but to have an old language like php rise that much in popularity makes me think something went wrong with their analysis.
Got it. So it seems in the Jalopnik case, Tesla missed disabling those features while it was in their possession, so did so after they sold the vehicle to a dealer and after the dealer sold the vehicle to a private party?

Then it would seem to me, in the Jalopnik article that Tesla was just in the wrong in this instance. They could have disabled the feature when they sold the car, but once they transferred title of it and it retained that feature, they should no longer be able to revoke that feature.
Any insight why or how the report is bogus?
There used to be a magazine or book that had this one BASIC program that you had to type in really carefully. That program let you type in a bunch of hex characters with a CRC and would tell you if you typed a line wrong. The rest of the programs in the book while still just BASIC programs were printed all encoded as a bunch of hex digit lines. It was great, once you got it typed in you knew there weren't any typos. Then you could list or save or run it just like any other BASIC program.
The momentum part is key. I have several side hustles and sometimes lose steam so I work on something else.

On the plus side, time away from projects allows me to view them with fresh eyes and identify what could be better and/or pivot.
Debian packaging is so arcane, I use the arch PKGBUILDs to build the file system tree and one of the deb tools that build a package from a file tree.
Anecdotal evidence. Why does Japan do better than US? Considering it is more population dense, has more older people, and a frequent train goers.

Japan does not do better compared to other Asian countries like South Korea or Taiwan, because the other Asian countries enact more measurements than Japan other than just masks. Japan pretty much doesn't really care that much about Covid compared to other Asian countries but they always wear masks.

My wife is going to office everyday (Tokyo), she is also going to a wedding party tonight, and also next week. Life is really going pretty much normal right there.
You may be correct about the origins of 44.1, sounds plausible.

I don’t think we are aiming at the same concept. I was there, as perhaps you were too.

Average consumers did not posses, could not afford, technology to duplicate CDs easily or to convert a CD to DAT.

I can’t recall all this after so much time has passed, but the gist is that somehow the record industry influenced the deployment of technology to reduce lossless duplication ability for consumers.

It wasn’t until home computers became so fast and ubiquitous that this changed.

> somehow gets rid of the undeserved reputation

That reputation is a competitive edge for companies and people who embrace PHP. They get shit done for the business and grow revenue while the rest of the tech community is rewriting basic tooling for the 50th time in Rust on a Kubernetes-powered back-end with a React front-end powered by a GraphQL API layer.
The way I have explained it to my less scientific friends.

If I shot 100 golf balls at you directly most of them would hit you.

If put a soccer net between us but closer to me the thrower of golf balls some number of those golf balls would not hit you anymore... so you would be hit by less than 100 golf balls.

And even better if there is a soccer net close to me and a second soccer net close to you even less of the 100 golf balls would hit you.

Probably not completely accurate but close enough.
I'm pretty fed up of people acting so incredibly arrogant. Unless you can show evidence that wearing a mask is dangerous, and makes things worse, then just wear a mask. Stop trying to find reasons to prove everyone wrong.

Technology still matters. It's not native vs not-native, there are many points along this scale. An app written in Swift on an iPhone should run faster than a similar app in Java on Android. If they run about the same, remember that the iPhone can do it with less memory and battery consumption. The Java Android app is more native than a React-Native app executing js.

Afaik the bad repairability of Tesla is mostly down to the lack of parts. You cannot just order parts from Tesla, you need to be an approved shop and even then it sometimes takes months for basic things like a bumpers or fenders to be delivered.
They aren’t wrong, the main culprit appears to be the synthetic neck gaiters. But most types of masks have not been shown to do this. So masks aren’t perfect, but are undoubtedly a net benefit.

What difference would it make if it got dark at 5:30 pm in the winter? That's still too close to the end of the standard 9-5 day to make much, if any, difference in what you can do before dark.
For anyone convinced in this mask pseudoscience, here is extensive scientific literature over decades that establishes that wearing surgical masks, respirators and cotton masks do not reduce the risk of contracting verified illnesses.

A thing that really strikes me as extraordinary is how there used to be two almost entirely independent technological supply chains. Americans and soviets both built extremely advanced equipment, with radar and sonar and computers and all that and literally from "digging ore out of the mountain" to making a computer there was almost no overlap in supply chain.
So the story is that the dealer had it enabled for demos and included it in the sale info but didn't actually pay for the actual customer to have the product.
Some people make jokes and don't realize the effect they have on the people who have to be the victims of those comments day in and day out. I'm sorry if that's not easy to understand. These are the same people who think women don't belong in tech, or that people who choose pronouns are "snowflakes". It's why we don't have as many women in tech and it really needs to stop.
> I'd rather being president were more like being prime minister, just a bureaucratic position without much prestige, necessary but no one is calling you "leader of the free world."

I agree, but I don't think it's a possibility. An administration that would essentially just be boring and bureaucratic wouldn't "change" the country, but essentially run it on the status quo. Lots of people aren't happy with the status quo for various reasons, they want to change it. That in turn makes other people want to stop them from changing it.

If you didn't have two groups that split across some major fault lines, you didn't have "exciting" politics. When you have these divided groups, how could you have boring politics?

I'm surprised it's so dirty and rusty. American crews clean their ships, then they clean them again if they run out of clean things to clean. I'm sure budget plays a large role but I couldn't stop looking at the rust, chipped paint, and dirt.
I switched from PHP to TypeScript and then Kotlin because in my area companies moved on from PHP to newer technologies.

(And I am not the only one, I know lots of people which switched from PHP to other languages)

That's probably the reason for a pay rise - many developers switched from PHP to other languages and now companies which still use PHP have to pay more for the few PHP developer

"if you don't own any of their products" was meant to be "any of their hardware"

Viable in terms of functionality for creating models for e.g. hobbyist 3d printing? Yes, there's a bunch of people using it, and I've managed to use it for this (admittedly very simple models).

Is it as nice/easy to use? Not quite. Although Qt is pretty good on some Linux flavours and Windows. With more donations, I'm sure this could improve, too.

But on a deeper level, the feature set is large/mind-boggling, and I think this is a problem for adoption for a specific use-case like FDM/FFF/3d printing design, but also in general for software quality and software development.

For example, some workbenches work better than others - one even straight up threw a classic Python 3 error, "bytes required, not str". This can be mitigated to a certain extent by disabling workbenches you don't need [0]. But it feels like a jack of all trades, master of none situation.

What are the alternatives? I don't know. OpenSCAD basically has no editing GUI and a bizarre language. Fusion 360 still works, even though it's clear Autodesk will continue to squeeze it (not only the non-commercial restrictions, but the significant price in 2018 if i'm remembering correctly). Blender is great, and boolean tools are improving, but it isn't parametric, and the non-destructive workflow is unusual.

Can you provide evidence of this claim that profitable/large companies don't use PHP? Or just parroting unfounded php hate.
That's a good question (which highlights the difficulty of the definition), but yes, on reflection I think that it is up to those represented to determine who represents them (including constraints), not for us to engineer it for them looking backwards. So a useful (but imperfect) delineation is the year that most adults were allowed the vote.

Clearly, in this case everybody being given that power of determination from 1893 has worked out well for them on the female representation front looking at current stars on the global leadership stage.
