Well the job they have to do before I waste my time scheduling a meeting with your sales dude is 1) convince me that your product is valuable and 2) convince me that the ballpark pricing is workable for me.

You can really only know a car by test driving it. But that doesn't meant that Toyota doesn't publish photos of its interiors and asks you to schedule a test drive before finding out the price. I can quickly find out what cars might be suitable for my needs given their properties and their pricing, and THEN commit my time to test driving the best candidates. If you just say "Believe me. This is the best car. People are saying what a great car this is. This is a car that you'll come in and you'll test drive, and you'll say that you've never even seen a car this good." Well I'm just going to ignore you.
I've consistently gotten the largest Mac laptop available over the last 15 years. That's been 17", 15", and 16", and it's a very comfortable size on my lap. (It sometimes gets a little cramped when a large cat wants to share my lap with it, but I can usually manage.)

Naturally, this is going to vary depending on your physical size. A person who's small and slight of build isn't going to be as easily able to use a 16" laptop as me.
1050 Ti is below entry level at this point though.
Well roads do vary in their physical form and the social norms that govern their use in different parts of the world based on a lot of factors.

But I would say roads in developed areas are pretty much the same everywhere because cars are only made one way. The social consensus I mentioned was moving towards requiring a governor on cars that would shut their engines off if they exceeded 25 mph. If that had succeeded and endured, roads would look very different. But the economic effects that cars produce in accelerating the free flow of commodities, labor, and capital necessitated a rupture with the established order so that automobiles could continue to develop to be bigger, faster, and more powerful.

The similarities in road form and norms around the world represent an equilibrium between the current level of car technology and the amount of injury and death resulting from their use that society can metabolize.

For mac users these numbers are amazing lol
Anecdotally, I feel like at least 1/3 of my Uber/Lyft rides are from someone that I'd categorize as a part-timer. (I almost always chat with my driver and ask about their experience driving.) From that (and the much larger number of hours a full-time driver would drive), I conclude that there are probably more part-time drivers than full-time drivers.
So if you do only one of those things are you still an employer or now a platform?
In your example, there is no relation between anything in Module1Interface and Module2Interface.

Probably closer would be (not sure if this is possible in Typescript):

class CustomModule<S, T1 extends Module1Interface<S>, T2 extends Module2Interface<S> > {
constructor(t1: T1, t2: T2) { ... }
}

Meaning that, for example, within Module1Inteface, there is some function f1 that returns an S, and within Module2Interface, there is some function f2 that takes an S as argument.

This does become a bit tedious notation-wise, if possible at all. In Ocaml, this would look like:

module CustomModule(M1: Module1)(M2: Module2 with type s = M1.s)
I bet US intelligence agencies have this capability for governmental email addresses.

Though they shouldn't have this capability.
Shuttle was canceled because its bay wasn't needed, it was overly expensive, and its service record was pretty accurately tracking the projected 1 shuttle loss for every ~50 flights. There wasn't a strong commitment to the missions at the time, so making something completely new was out of the question. But there was a lot politically and strategically riding on Shuttle, so they had to find some way of keeping some lights on. Those points can be elaborated, but the decision really wasn't much more complicated than that.

The F1 and SSME are apples and oranges. They have separate uses and achievements for their times. I haven't heard of either being widely considered objectively superior to the other.

This happens at work to everyone at some point. I've learned that dealing with it boils down to about the same as the linked article, but much shorter:

--take responsibility

--explain how it happened

--explain the steps you're taking to prevent it in the future.

(Luckily this final step has never been an issue for me, but: if it keeps happening, or you have to repeat this process too many times for different issues, prepare a resume and pursue some strong "professional development")
Not disagreeing, but I think calling it political correctness is actually granting those folks too much credit. It was people who were unqualified to process or understand the company’s findings chiming in with pop interpretations, just because they wanted to feel a part of what was supposed to be an intelligent conversation backed by data.
Cars pretty much define my bounds on tolerance for risk.
Came here to make a similar point. Both political sides in the US can point to the observations in the excerpt as chilling historical illustrations of current and potential near-term events. That illustrates in my mind what is so terrifying right now. That there is something bigger going on than political ideology and I don't think anyone can stop it. In fact I would posit that thinking so makes it all the less likely to be stopped. This is because either side will identify a different source of the problem and both will be wrong.

It wouldn't have mattered because they were Covid-free in June, only to implement a full lock-down (complete with military check-points) only two months later.
A common tactic seen by progressives during attacks on their victims is to hype up the crime by either making vague claims such as that they "are pretty messed up" and hoping that regular people apply their reasonable measure of "pretty messed up"; to outright lies where they equate the commited heresy with an actual real world wrong.

One charming example is this one of Morgan Freeman during the metoo saga where he was "Sexually harrassing a reporter live on TV."

You can use this logic with Stalin and Lenin, too. They went from a agrarian feudal society to a world superpower, helping defeat the Nazis and being the first in spaceflight.

Of course, you'd have to be wearing rose-colored glasses to take that portrayal at face value, and you'd also have to ignore significant atrocities the leaders were responsible for.
I've never heard of "LaTeX-2030", and even adding terms like "typesetting" and "language" to filter out the gloves (and other less SFW results...), I still don't find anything relevant.

We're working hard on building and perfecting it into a product that everyone will be able to use soon, so keep an eye on this space.

Is there a specific usecase you have in mind? I'd love to hear about it!
Do you know what the commotion was about?

I can co-sign that there are often incidents of civil unrest in China that are not reported in the media. However, from what i can gather, these are not explicitly anti-establishment. Most of them appear to be localized labor disputes or middle class NIMBYs making a fuss about development that inconveniences them.

For reporting on the former, you can check out China Labour Bulletin[0].

Sure, some of those values shine through, but I think you're underestimating how quickly change can occur and how values can be changed when your population scales up from 75 million (1000 years ago) to 1.3 billion.

While I agree that Starship is very much an early-stage project it has a clear commercial utilization: Starlink.

I set up a Mastodon instance and a Peertube instance on my own server and got all everyone onto Mastodon. They all get how to use Mastodon, including the seniors, so that's what most people engage with. Peertube videos can be easily embedded into toots so both pics and videos are shareable.

I also have a Nextcloud instance and have all photos and videos auto uploaded, then recently Nextcloud introduced some workflow features that I used to auto upload all videos from Nextcloud to Peertube, making it really easy to go pick the video link and share.

What I've found is that better quality photos and videos tend to make it into Mastodon and Peertube, while other content will still be shared in the Signal group chat.

It's all running in docker, making it easy to upgrade, backup, and/or move around.
I don't really believe this. Fund some open access initiatives or something and your money will go a lot further.

The vast majority just don't have a use case where "LaTeX-2030" is going to help, and this wouldn't make much difference to them. I'm a mathematician and I write papers in LaTeX every day. Sure I could benefit from programability occasionally, but it's just not a serious problem. If I need to automatically generate a table or something, I have a Python script output LaTeX, it takes me 30 seconds.

Obviously there are some uses cases where it would make a big difference, but there just aren't very many in the grand scheme. We already have LaTeX3 which lets you do scripting, and lualatex. The fact that basically nobody uses either gives you a sense of how much the general community wants this.
I'm getting ready to sell my 16:9 thinkpad carbon x1 for the 16:10 nano or x1 2021. I'm OK with my 16:9 43" monitor because it's so big I get the vertical real-estate but my thinkpad feels as though it's really only useful for watching 16:9 videos which I don't do.

If 2021 is the year of 16:10 for Thinkpad, then I'm hoping 2025 is the year of 3:2 and maybe hopefully sometime in 2030 we'll be full circle back to 4:3!

This is a troubling article in its own right, but what was more troubling is the realization I had 3/4 of the way down. At first I was thinking "yes, this is what Trump is doing, albeit incompetently. I feel like this guy, that I'm an alarmist but I can't prove anything." And then when it started talking about opposing opinions being shouted down, I realized that the "Progressives" might actually be doing the same thing, just more competently. It's not okay to disagree about the merits of homosexuality. It's not okay to disagree about racism. It's not okay to disagree that whites, especially males, are privileged and therefore aggressors. "Cancel culture" and all that. This is something that's crept up in the past 10 or 15 years.

What worries me is that both sides are doing similar things.
Religion does not claim to be scientific. Its source of knowledge varies but is typically revelation or tradition.

Science is empirical, based on experience, experiment, or observation.
FWIW, when I first started using SLIME, I used it just as a debugger and REPL. I wrote all of my lisp code in vim and used slime for debugging it. I knew zero elisp and zero emacs shortcuts; I used the menu interface for all but a few commands.

The first (and only for about 3 years) elisp I wrote was a command to open up the current file in vim, and reload it when vim exited. This let me browse & debug source with emacs while editing with vim.

SLIME offered so many features that this was an actually useful workflow, and I didn't switch to using emacs for editing as well until much later, when evil-mode came out.

side-note:

I had tried other vi-like modes prior to evil-mode coming out (e.g. viper), but they fell in an uncanny valley for me; just familiar enough that I would regularly muscle-memory some sequence that didn't work in viper.

> Basically Xi's nightmare is the disintegration of the Soviet Union and he's running the opposite playbook that Gorbachev used.

I find it funny by how hard people of Western upbringing try find some "higher meaning" to what villainous characters do, the more powerful, and scarier they are.

And they do not want to take the most obvious, explainative, and floating on the surface explanation, because according to them, "it can't be that simple!"

A phrase I hear often is "I don't believe in cartoonish evil characters!!!"

And that despite much of 3rd world dictators very much being such, and their actions being very well explainable by "evil guys, doing evil deeds, because they are evil, arrogant f..ks," and that being their primary motivations, with all their "roleplay" obligations, and nominal official duties coming second to that.

Deal with That Winning Idea-Pt2
It's full of defects, they'll just never be fixed. Most languges would define the error messages of LaTeX as defects, and once you start including packages, many don't work together.

I never realised how awful LaTeX was until I started working with a co-author who is blind, if you just "write LaTeX" you end up with equations, algorithms and tables constantly half-off the page.

Enforcement and compliance are two different things. I was saying that it cannot be enforced. Not that people won't comply.

> You probably missed the part where I said we would only outlaw knives if we had a safer way of cutting things (reliably)

You seemed to misunderstand. The way we have is perfectly safe as it is. Billions of people use them everyday without issue. There is neither the incentive or need to.

You cannot enforce the ban of knives as they are soooo trivial to make (you can make a knife by hitting a large stone against a piece of flint). Even in a very locked down environment such as a prison inmates still manage to acquire them or produce them.

Even if in your fantasy world you did outlaw them and was successful. People would hit each other with Baseball bats, Umbrellas, Pieces of wood, Bricks, lumps of metal.

You must solve the problem of why people are being violent not what they are using to be violent.
Not sure. I'm very new here as well.
Thank you! and sorry to proceed by detaching your comment, but it's best for this subthread not to be at the top. (I could collapse it, but think of the non-JS users...)
Exactly, pizza franchisors eek out a profit. They don’t earn enough profit to also have a tech startup take a piece.
Having thought about this carefully¹, I have concluded that my position is the rational middle. All other positions are inexplicably extremist while I have carefully cultivated an intelligent rational position. Unusual among Mankind, I have been blessed with the power to apply reason to terrible subjects. It is sad that all the other people are such extremists for if they weren't we could have had such productive discourse. I could've convinced them of how right I am by application of reasoned discussion of evidence. But alas, I stand beset on all sides by irrational fear-mongers, violent identitarians, and wishful communists. Disgusting.

Naturally, any rebuke of my position is evidence of their extremism, for steeped in their emotion they are unable to be rational. I, on the other hand, am wise beyond belief, empowered by the reason that Nature and my own path to self-growth have given me.

¹ To be clear, I always think about things carefully. I only mention this because it is clear that almost everyone else doesn't, as evinced by the fact that they do not agree with me.

My understanding is a Durable Object is similar to a long running JS app in a respawnable/relocatable container (imagine a Kubernetes deployment of 1 pod). There is always exactly one instance, somewhere. And because the instance is long running, WebSockets become more practical.

Note that because Durable Objects are long running computations, they are stateful and deployments are disruptive (clients disconnected). So even though you could potentially put them in the "serverless" category, the deployment experience isn't quite the same as short-lived serverless functions / lambdas.

The real novelty of Durable Objects appears to be their intended usage of fine granularity (and the underlying tech that enables this). For example, if you were building a chat room service, you could have 1 Durable Object per room. Of course, you could conceivably build a chat room service running 1 Node.js process per chat room on traditional VMs or containers, but that probably wouldn't scale well.
"I'm sorry you felt that way" is considered worse than a non-apology by the current leading apology extractors.

No, we have carriers because they are costly. The point of the military-industrial complex, like any cancer, is to consume vast quantities. They admit to spending three times what China spends (the actual multiple is higher), and the last yearly increase was larger than Russia's total.
Doordash charges the restaurants a percentage of the order, so a lot of restaurants increase their prices on Doordash to recover the cost. I've seen the same thing on other platforms. If you are ordering for pickup, it's usually a lot cheaper to order by phone or through the restaurant's website (if you can).

A sushi order I made last week would have been $77 (delivered) on Postmates. I ordered the same items from the restaurant directly and picked it up myself for $36. The restaurant is a 10-minute walk away.

This makes me skeptical of the business model. Those margins will absolutely get whittled down over time and these companies are already unprofitable.
TypeScript is a thing which exists for the sole purpose of adding type checking to JavaScript, and nothing more. In particular, unlike most historic statically-typed languages, TypeScript gains no performance advantage from types; it literally compiles down to JavaScript before running. The only possible advantage is developer productivity stemming from type checking and other tooling it enables.

TypeScript is extremely popular.

Obviously there is some subjectivity here. Different people can have different opinions. Different kinds of projects may call for different approaches. But it's hard to argue that all those developers using TypeScript chose to do so without getting any benefit.
Oh yes but there are two failures: (1) the UI doesn't display pages clearly; (2) the software is too slow to render entire threads. #2 is the real problem, and I don't want a temporary workaround to become too easy.

The real prize is getting the software fast enough to just render entire pages again, which is what it did for most of HN's existence.
