> Oh did they?

First one only sagged, no catastrophic failure, no deaths, no injuries.

A few more on that list were over a hundred years old. Not sure when he started holding engineers responsible.

Then you have the bridges rammed by ships, terrorism, construction accidents, a wooden suspension bridge in the middle of nowhere that had an upper limit of three and was used by seventy, etc. .

Seems as if the bridges themselves have held up fairly well.
the Warsaw Pact and NATO?
you just made my day! I didn't know that these books existed. Now I have to find them and read them. Thank you so much.
I’m sorry, but this comment is in bad faith. Plants do no have brains, they do not emote or feel pain. Someone will chime in with a "well actually ..." no doubt, but to ascribe any form of equivalence between plants and animals in this way is a bad faith argument. And more to the point: our descendants horror will be that we knew we were causing the suffering of living beings and yet we did it anyway.
> I really don't understand how a company can get away with using its customers as QA when they sell products that can kill people.

They already claim that drivers must pay attention to the road in order to prevent accidents and this has been the status-quo in the automotive world for a century or so. Selling products that can kill if misused is not remarkable.

This could turn ugly if it's shown that enabling self-driving results in much more accidents but there is no data to support this.
Thank you for this. I hadn’t seen the teal management approach described before.
My guess, which reads more like sci-fi than anything is, the strong AI will emerge as a side-effect of IoT communicating with each other. Once the number of connected things hits a critical mass (I'm talking about billions), it will happen.
There's no such thing as being apolitical or not taking a stand, it's basically just endorsement of the status quo.
In 1917, Russia was the third major power in the world. In 1957, USSR was seventh.

For example, building of metro in Kyiv was planned to start in 1918.
> HR departments say they can't do anything because caste is not a protected category.

That is a cop-out. Most HR policies have a somewhat broad use case where if someone is creating a hostile work environment, that is not OK, whether the reason for it is protected or not. Maybe HR cannot fire them in some jurisdictions, but they absolutely can step in in other ways to fix the problem.
Wow, I'm so happy that it was archived before the maintainer went nuclear.

I think you can do this. You take an existing badly done code base, and ask the students to make significant changes and/or additions. After they've felt that pain for a semester or two, you discuss what causes the pain, and what choices led to that point.
Mostly because tanks aren't optimized for getting normal people from A to B as quickly and efficiently as possible, so we don't build infra for that. Also because approximately zero people have tanks for the aforementioned reasons.

That being said, tanks aren't actually that big, so usually you can drive a tank on the road. Main problem is you need to stick to low speed roads because they don't go very fast.
I have a collection of 'mistakes you make exactly once,' mistakes that are so obvious in retrospect and terrible in consequence that you would never, ever do it again.

This is a whole other class, though.
Edit: I should add, the Ontario Teacher's Union is a decent example of something that works; teachers have generally quite a bit of education and decent benefits, wages above prevailing but 'consistent'. It's quite a broad field with somewhere near reasonable outcomes - the difference being the absence of a 'total lock' on an 'essential good' (there are many school boards, private/mixed etc.)

So each situation has different dynamics but within Energy there are problems.
That's assuming the biomass can be eaten by humans in the first place. We can't digest a lot of stuff that can be eaten by animals whom we can eat in turn.
Ketosis can be a real problem (deadly, even, if you're not careful).

There is a reboot procedure for getting the system going again. After a 3-day fast, mine was something like this:

Turmeric and ginger Tea

+ 30 minutes

bone broth

+ 30 minutes

sauerkraut

+ 30 minutes

almonds / pumpkin seeds / sunflower seeds

+ 45 minutes

avocado

+ 30 minutes

soup (bone broth / chicken broth, kale, tofu, chard, napa)

+ 45 minutes

yogurt

nuts / seeds
...
beef bowl for dinner (rice, onions, simple vegetable side)

The logic behind this is that the turmeric and ginger causes a (very mild) inflammatory response in the stomach. It gets the body "ready" for food again.

The bone broth supplies a very mild, easily digestible form of protein that resupplies immediate deficits. Sauerkraut supplies good digestive bacteria to rebuild your population of digestive helpers. This helps prevent diarrhea, though not entirely.

Almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds (preferably unsalted) begin supplying dense packets of minerals. Don't have too much, but a few handfuls will be a good start.

Avacado! Calories (from good fat) and minerals, and more fiber.

The soup is the first serious nourishment. The tofu, chard, kale, and napa provide a range of good stuff. Protein from the tofu, and more minerals and fiber from the leafy greens. Lightly salted broth, (a mix of bone broth and chicken broth for flavor) is also good.

Yogurt (active culture) provides calcium and fat, and another excellent boost to helper bacteria.

More snacking on the nuts and seeds as you like...

A light dinner of thin slices of ribeye with onions and soy sauce over rice, and a nice cruciferous vegetable blanched, dressed with a touch sesame oil and salt.

Rebooted!

The waits in between are important, as is continued hydration along the way.

All that said, many of the benefits you supposedly get from 3-day / 5-day fasts, can be had from reduced calorie diets.
> you shouldn't worry much about vendor lock-in in the long run.

You should always worry about vendor lock-in. Vendors only do it because they gain something by it, namely reduced competition. Reduced competition is always bad for the consumer.
99.9% of driving is so that people can get from one place to another. If that's not a good reason, I'm not sure what is.
In previous rodent studies, intermittent fasting (IF) was found to stimulate production of neural stem cells in the hippocampus, which is a portion of the brain critical to memory formation. This study measured apparent IF-induced changes in a particular type of molecular communication (the Notch signaling pathway) that the body uses to tell itself to increase such stem cell production.
PHP is to the web world what Visual Basic was to the desktop.

Anyone can create a program with it, cheaply and easily. You end up with a lot of terrible code this way.

And as the years went on, the products matured into something decent that you COULD write recent code in, but it usually didn’t happen.

It’s a good sign that a project will be a terrible mess if it’s in PHP or VB, but a delightful surprise when it isn’t.
Yep, this is key. I do a ton of Java programming in my day job, but PHP for freelance work. The simplicity of deployment and rapid dev cycles with PHP is great.
Burning down the house isn’t even an issue for me. USB relay throws 24VDC from a UL-approved power supply that opens the valve. The noise from the air compressor OTOH....
About twenty years ago now, the Arizona legislature put a referendum on the ballot that would have adopted switching between standard time and daylight savings time. It lost by about 80% to 20%, the most lopsided result I've ever seen.

Most desert dwellers don't want another hour of daylight in the summer, but one of the small perks of living here that there is no switch.
You can drive yourself anywhere!
Dark mode keeps me relaxed and focused rather than making me want to get up and do physical tasks.

As OP said, both matter. Each excels in different qualities. You choose what works for you, I'll choose what works for me.
Makes me wonder:

I have two driving modes, not autopilot, but not as aware as I could be, and then tracking everything I can because something odd is going on and I'm trying to avoid a bad scenario. Perhaps I'm a bad driver, but I suspect this is normal, kind of in a low-attention mode most of the time, but if the car a lane over starts to change lanes too close, you go into high-alert mode.

I wonder if there are studies on how often humans need to do this sort of "disengagement" for lack of a better term? Not sure how you'd measure it, perhaps with more eye movement than normal? Dunno.
If that's the standard, full self-driving won't become a thing for another 50 years at minimum if not longer, because not only is it a crazy high target, the lack of data and improvements brought by real-world usage would hamstring development — there's not but so far test tracks and single-city pilots can go.

It's a lot like the "old space" approach to spacecraft engineering, spending decades and hundreds of billions of dollars to develop a rocket that would've been cutting edge half a century ago, all in pursuit of making the initial product perfect.
The problem is that an extruder that makes filament is something that can easily take up a room. It requires vats of water, wheels multiple measurement sensors, tensioner, spoolers, etc. And it still is unlikely to produce consistent filament compared to a commercial operation. I love the idea but I feel like you might be better off injecting viscous dyes into the hotend instead.
To nitpick: emote and feeling pain != sentience and thinking. But let's leave this discussion alone, I meant that in humour.
Author here for your vintage DRAM questions :-)
And differential pressure make flowers open and close !
Because Tesla says that it is a rendering of what the car thinks it is seeing, meaning that the rendering is supposed to roughly correlate with the information upon which the FSD systems are acting.

In contrast, the animations of a car battery being charged don't claim to be realistic in any sense, and they deliberately attempt not to be realistic: oversized images of batteries or other standardized iconography, stylized arrows or other indicators of charging "flow", etc.
I feel you misunderstood the point being made. Societal norms and attitudes evolve and blindly measuring history against contemporary standards is often counterproductive.

Please don't mistake this as some apology for slavery, wife beating, antisemitism or whatever. It isn't; people did reprehensible things in the past. Just realize that it's extremely unlikely that our current norms are the objectively correct ones that will be forever unchanged.
> After 20 years doing this job I can confirm that building software is really hard. I’m not sure how you really give people experience with that. My courses at uni did little to prepare me for building software.

I'm kind of amazed at just how much experience it seems to take to build a robust & generalizable model for making reliably good decisions about code complexity management & problem solving techniques.
My favorite part in a lot of ideological works is when the author clearly figures out that his hero is the bad guy by any objective standard, and is about to do a horrific thing to the antagonist.

That's the moment when, suddenly, 1) the antagonist molests a child or rapes a woman, and is killed with glee, or 2) the hero gets the upper hand on the antagonist but decides morally and bravely not to kill them, then turns their back on the antagonist for no reason; the ungrateful antagonist immediately takes the opportunity to dishonorably kill the hero from behind, but is killed by a sidekick, secondary character, or act of God in the nick of time, leaving the hero pure.
Well, a Model S can just barely stop in 50 meters at 60mph, while some other luxury and sporty cars in the segment can stop in 35 meters or less. And that’s only 60mph, hardly “top speed” or even a normal highway speed. So regardless of driver assistance features, I’d choose a car that at least has a chance to even physically stop assuming instant reflexes. 50 meters is probably a much too small distance for this thought experiment.
I’m confused. How is this better (Or, not worse than if you consider the additional overhead of a network call for every incoming request) than having your app just read the same json file from the deployed code?
Any thought pattern can be compressed, transferred & applied I'd say.
The 17% false positive rate could be a large problem here depending on the prevalence of asymptomatic infection.
Do you think the false positives are per-recording? In that case, you could just do a few more test coughs with the same person to double check, and get that false negative rate down.

If false positives are per-person, then your scenario won't happen. It'll be the same 6 kids for whom the test never works right.

So with all this in mind, you'll have to come up with appropriate norms around the results. You could call it "okay" vs "suspect" instead of negative and positive. Maybe there's a lowered-risk version of activities for people who are "suspect" that day. Maybe they don't go to the gym that day, maybe they sit in the isolated booth in the classroom, whatever. But then, they need to take a standard test that night to return to school the next day. Or as someone else mentioned, a rapid-test at the nurse's office.
Traditional off-white paper lit by ambient illumination is not the same as an active emitter of light with a color temperature well higher than ambient. FWIW modern paper is actually brighter than white (it fluoresces).
I'm not sure the scandalizing etc doesn't follow the importance, not the other way round, i.e. there's so much at stake, that's why people go all out. That we have natural incentives to encourage extremism certainly contributes, but I don't think it's the primary driver.

Countries like the US with a presidential system could have less politicized administrations (but that may just shift the primary fight to the elections for the legislative). In countries with parliamentary systems, the executive is accountable to the legislative, so division of power between these two is mostly on paper, as the executive is typically controlled by the majority of the legislative.

I do believe that "make politics boring again" would mean "make politics have less influence on the average citizen's life", and I think that's a great idea. But I'm aware that this also just so happens to align with my political views, so others might see that very much differently.

Maybe it's just a natural evolution when societies rapidly become more diverse. Identity/group/tribal politics play a much larger role, the stakes are raised, and more tribalism is the response.
I don't really see how PHP catching up to improvements that were made in other ecosystems suddenly makes it a better choice than it's competitor though. What is it actually better at? And as a developer, why should I bother with it when it probably has the lowest average salaries of any web technology AND isn't going to help me get shit done faster than several other tools that pay above average?
Its not misogynistic because it is not related to gender at all. His point is basically:

"If some is already verbally abusing you, its fine to resort to light violence if nothing else works".

Its actually a point that i disagree personally, because i would just go away. But if you cant understand that verbal abuse can be far far worse than physical, you are probably the one that needs a sensitivity training more than me.. Or you just need to live life a little more until you meet some really narcisisstic and abusive partner (whichever his gender) which will harass you and make you seriously consider violence.
The joke is Sean Connery would pronounce "save" as "shave".
New AI Chip
Why do you frame it as a decision between the two? The market is beyond huge, there are bound to be use cases where one or the other is clearly better.

Also a 10x cost improvement on nuclear would blow everything else away (in a good way). I don't think renewables have the same potential - for one thing, they're a more mature technology (weird, I know, but they've been the focus of global development for quite some time now).

And also there's only so much energy you can get out of solar and wind - you just can't get more than 1.3 kw from a square meter of solar, you have to cover more square meters. On the other hand there's no theoretical reason why you wouldn't have a clean, safe reactor in each car. It's just a technological challenge.
> The dark portions of the screen block the backlight, so the darker it is, the less light gets to your eyes.

On (S/AM)OLED screens the black colour (true dark) is simply zero light.
You are confusing updates with upgrades.
Updates were free, but upgrades to the next main version had to be paid.
> Thirdly, Laravel, Symfony and other open source stuff are awesome.

I think PHPs biggest feather in its cap is Composer.

I can't even line a single script without it now. It really changed the usefulness of the language for me by many times.
That is pretty normal, pretty sure research showed that comprehension is higher for dark on light text.

It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a evolutionary reason for us being better at resolving small dark things better orso ;)
> The last thing you want is unattended-upgrades silently restarting services

I don't buy this argument: It makes an arbitrary distinction between software in which the fix is reflected, and software where it isn't.

For example, if said upgrade breaks an on-demand job which isn't a permanently running process but invoked by your customers through nginx, your customers also won't be seeing the results they need to.

If you wanted unattended-upgrades to not have its changes reflect in the system, you might as well configure it into the mode where it only notifies you, instead of installing the new version automatically.
No memory leaks is always a benefit.
Nuclear does suffer from the duck curve. It has the opposite problem of what to do with the excess power when demand is lower.
Unhelpful Amazon Order Confirmation Emails
> However, what I'm talking about is not a perfect set of selfless angels in the ruling class but rather a sense of virtue to counteract the natural tendency of wielding power in a self serving nature

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about too. I'm saying that human nature being what it is, having that not be almost totally dominated by the self-interest and exploitatiin when you have a separate and distinct ruling class is something that isn't ever going to be a stable thing, but only a momentary exception.
To clarify: I didn't mean to imply that free as in beer part of software freedom is important in that case.

My arguments for non-subscription based software for architects (but in general all professionals that heavily rely on software) are rather along the lines: if you are banned or support for the service you use stops you are basically left holding the baby.

Its not true for locally run programs (unless they have some expiration keys or something) whether commercial or free. The former are even better since you don't need to worry about eg. breaking changes if the foss tool uses version control system (you can always git revert to release that worked with what you need to do).

I only argue that leaning on paid subscription/service-based software for key part of your professional work/craft is asking for trouble.
Yes, porn has always been a big driver of entertainment technology. Some would say the same things about porn resource usage as they do about adtech. :)
Having a disorder isn't inherently bad. It just means your body decided it would be different.
It has already killed three people. The question is how many more will it kill before real regulation starts hitting? Waymo has been conservative, which is the right way to go about this.

The number of outright faulty actions I'm seeing on these videos is terrifying. Pedestrians and other cars on the road didn't ask to be part of this live fire experiment.
I guess they do not intend to deal with Europeans.
No. Caste based reservation is not tied to your surname. Major chunk of population of Kerala and Tamil Nadu don't have a caste related surname. It doesn't make them ineligible for caste based reservation. Because the point of the reservation is to level up these communities from the descrimation they faced for hundreds of years. Just changing the caste name doesn't automatically level the playing field. It helps. But they need more support as well.
And you pay for that hour in the morning when kids are going to school, adults are commuting to work, construction workers are working, etc. Indeed this is basically the whole reason we switch back and forth between standard time and DST.
For my own purposes (coffee shops, basic geolocation stuff), I usually spun up a VPN server on Linode or something like that. You still run into a lot of issues (many services blacklist VPS provider ranges, including most streaming services), but I never got any suspensions as a result.
The web works in dark mode if you have Dark Reader.
No-one is telling you to go to bed early tho. We're just noticing the fact that you function differently than others.
As a maintainer of small Wordpress and PHP forum installations I tried to use PHP for system administration scripts to avoid extra dependencies. It worked at the end surprisingly good, but only after I wrote quite a few lines of glue code to get sane behavior from PHP.

The biggest surprise was that on Linux one cannot call an external process directly. At least with PHP 7.0 one always has to use an intermediate shell and one has to use extra functions to escape strings safely.

So yes, PHP works, but defaults are insane and to make things secure and robust one has to use extra libraries.
You could have them build a project one requirement at a time. That's how projects usually get out of hand in the real world. But I'm not sure if a semester is long enough.
I find it hard to imagine believing that talking points pushed by the most watched and highest rated news network in the country[1], and by the head, and majority, of the executive and legislative branches of government are somehow not mainstream.

Clearly WordPress and Magento based businesses. Add in Facebook, Weebly/Square, and you realize that PHP probably drives more page views and powers more domain named sites than any other.
> the only possible recourse is to run your own email server

Or you get paid email hosting, preferably from a company whose entire business is just that. Then they'd have a stronger incentive to make sure their users are able to keep using their service.
Wow, chill. I do not know what part of my post you reacted to, but to clarify, I do not mean that professional software engineers working on PHP are unskilled. What I meant was that PHP and its frameworks allow business person to solve simple problems without hiring a good software developer. Which is OK in many cases, but when this fails to work, it fails hard in a way that is both painful and difficult to quickly address.
We Will Win – Internet Decentralization
Anyone else here do a semi intermittent fast, e.g. only eating something like cocoa/dark chocolate throughout the day + having 1 meal/day?

Seems to get some portion of the benefits.
