Like many things, it depends. The housing is different in the senses that if you want to live in a “walkable” area close to public transportation etc. then almost all areas for this description. In the US I think there’s a small pocket of areas like this where the costs are high then drop off dramatically when you move to the suburbs. So in Tokyo you have more choice where to live.

Something that hasn’t been mentioned is the role of women. While many more women work there are still barriers, discrimination and the cultural tendency for women to be full time mothers/housewives. So $70k is household income.

Lastly, one needs to take time into consideration. A couple hours on the train commuting and a couple hours of overtime can add up to long days. So on a $ per hour basis it might not be that good.

Of course there isn't data about the long-term societal effects of a global lockdown in a modern society. But there are huge numbers of kids being denied education and social interaction right now. There are people who have lost money and are not eating right or living in healthy conditions, etc. So there are clearly going to be massive negative impacts from the mitigation, and nobody will know the scale for decades to come.
> I wouldn't put a lot of stock in to proto-Nazi Germany's discounting "sentimentality" in Metropolis.

I think this is being way too harsh on the critics. Sadly, I forgot to add the sources above. The first quote is from a liberal newspaper, the second is from a satirical magazine (Simplicissimus [0], certainly above suspicion when it cames to Nazism) and the last one is from a communist newspaper. H. G. Wells himself notices a "sauce of sentimentality".

> We know where hard-hearted disavowals of sentimentality led.

I don't want to start the discussion whether Metropolis is a pro-Nazi film (it isn't), but we certainly know where a hard-hearted embrace of kitsch sentimentality led.

We lost power (and internet) 45 seconds before my son's Physics final last spring during remote learning. He had to quickly scramble to take his testing materials outside and used his cell phone to access the exam.

It worked out for him but easily could have been a disaster. We live at the edge of the school boundary and it was a localized outage due to a car hitting a pole, so he was the only student in his class that was affected. Good luck convincing the teacher if you don't have alternate access to the test.

What about the secondary effect of banning indoor wedding?
The nazi regime was the most sentimental thing ever. It was vicious AF but they were all so romantic and corny as it came to the german nation and its heroes. All those calls for patriotism, and nationalism, where if anything emotional. Why do you think the culture minister was such a powerful figure? The nazi were the most disgusting sentimentalists ever.

I get why your assumption they disregarded sentiments exists; we are living in very similar times where undue public importance is given to sentiments. And we would like to think they were completely different to us, but the reality is we live in similarly sentimental times.

Edit: looked up on the author of that review, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Ihering,

Let's roll this back and ask a different question: Are the students learning the material in a way that they can display mastery outside of an exam setting / on the job?

If so, who cares if cheating numbers / grades have been inflating?
There are a number of articles and videos discussing and ultimately dismissing the charge that Metropolis was a pro-Nazi film.

"Fritz Lang's Monster: Was Metropolis a Pro-Nazi Film"[1] by Elly Hoffman is one of these, and it echoes the conclusions of the others:

"Thea Von Harbou may very well have attempted to slip her pro-Nazi opinions into Metropolis, but ultimately Metropolis not only does not reflect how Nazi Germany operated in practice -- -- the Nazis' failure to truly uplift the working class -- -but it actively disregards and objects to the pillars of Nazism. The Führerprinzip is rejected in Metropolis' critique of Joh Fredersen, the Volksgemeinschaft is contradicted in its promotion of general equality and its lack of a 'racial enemy', and the Judenkampf is contradicted in the absence of an all-evil Jewish caricature, as well in Metropolis' portrayal of the beauty of technology not lying in its use for exterminating the enemy, the Jew, but instead as being the very goal when building Utopia. The Nazi ideals, the Nazi vision of Utopia, not only does not exist in New Babylon, but Maria and Freder's mission ends up casting such ideals and visions into the gutter."

- he wanted to get into entertainment, but when you buy a bar in SF, it comes without any permits, so you essentially have to rebuild and re-permit everything

- the SF Police doesn't want to bother policing bars, so the Chief fights you tooth and nail at every city council meeting. Because lazy.

- meanwhile, the property is in an industrial area, so the early closing times and noise ordinances are specious.

Even though it was the wrong career choice, I'm grateful for my time as a lawyer before switching back to software (and now running my own business). I've probably saved tens of thousands of dollars just by knowing the basics of incorporation/loans/bookkeeping/etc (and perhaps more importantly, I've probably also saved hundreds of hours by knowing what paperwork can be safely ignored).

> We are now living in the era of the $200 Chromebook for every child. But the ideal scenario Papert imagined is far from realized.

There's no contradiction in those sentences. The $200 Chromebooks are a realization of what another commenter described as Shaw's neofeudal vision. Contrary to what Papert suggested, the kids themselves can't maintain them (at least not without sitting through a scary warning every time they boot into developer mode, IIUC), let alone assemble them. Outside of developer mode, Chromebooks can only receive OS updates from Google, and only as long as it wants to provide them. And as for the dispute between Shaw and Papert on the expected lifespan of a computer, while some new Chromebooks will receive updates from Google into 2028, I expect that their practical useful life will be much shorter, unless we software devs can somehow stop the bloat treadmill.

Un-disclosure: A few weeks ago, this would be the part where I mentioned that I was a developer at Microsoft, on the Windows accessibility team. I'm no longer there. Of course, they're not really any better than Google when it comes to really empowering kids like Papert envisioned. Indeed, the fact that both of them want to sell their systems and services to schools is IMO a big part of the problem.
zfs on linux available as root partition since 20.04. Working quite well I might add!
Yeah. Its just harder using Trig: SOH CAH TOA.

tan(angle) = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg.
arctan(opposite-leg / adjacent-leg) == angle.

The more I do this, the more I realize that the linear-algebra approach might be easier... but the Trig approach can certainly do what you are asking for.

I mean, I recognize that I'm just "reinventing cross-product" here to get the length of opposite-leg and the direction of adjacent-leg. But it does seem feasible to do all of these things in Trigonometry alone.

A little bit of Linear algebra (cross product creates an orthogonal vector) would definitely make this problem easier.
I've been aware of that in the past, but it slipped my mind when I was asking this question. (So thanks.)

Has anyone investigated the wear leveling of mobile device storage to see how bad/tractable this situation is at the moment?
This is kind of what I expect of the 16" MBP and the higher end 13" MBP, cooler running with low/ no fan noise, tremendous battery life, 20-50% better performance than the M1, drop 8GB RAM and offer 32GB, better video performance (support dual 5k displays).

It's possible they will launch the iMac with the same chip as the MBP 16 as well.

- Remember virtually no individual or group is 100% right or 100% incorrect about things which require interpretation or value judgements. Even people who I think are often terribly wrong can still occasionally be right about some topic.

- Consider sometimes people can reach a generally correct conclusion based on incorrect reasoning, interpretation or data. Conversely, sometimes people can reach substantially incorrect conclusions based on correct reasoning, interpretation or data.

- Not to let my feelings about a person or group's other positions influence my assessments about a position in a different domain.

- Be aware of the basis and degree of my own preconceived feelings and biases related to a topic.

- Remember that everyone is influenced to some degree by their personal experiences, context, knowledge and feelings, even if we're not aware of it.

- Ensure I fully understand the other person's position. Especially that I'm not making assumptions or drawing conclusions which may over-simplify, extend or 'extreme' what they're actually saying. I also try to imagine possible 'steelman' forms of their arguments which may be stronger, clearer or more nuanced than what they are saying.

- Separate assertions about objective facts from subjective interpretation or conclusions such as policy. Especially that future outcomes cannot be objective facts because they haven't happened.

- Apply extra charitable interpretation in areas where I may have strong pre-held notions.

- Stay open-minded and ask clarifying questions in a reasonable and neutral tone.

- Focus my responses on the most key elements of the arguments actually being made versus the person, style, tone or my feelings.

Thank you! Yes, I think you put what I was trying to capture here really well. When I first attempted to learn programming I got stuck on how to _actually_ run the code and eventually gave up but then started in an actual class in college. So being painfully aware of the gaps that can be left in explanations I try to avoid creating more of them.

The ultimate solution that will probably happen at some point is a kind of collapsable/expandable explanation that takes your knowledge into account and can omit the bits you are overly familiar with. One of the difficulties with this would be adoption from the creators so it needs to not have too much overhead—writing is already difficult enough.

They’re not validating the parent directory matches the actual tweet. I wonder if that’s an actual bug or intentional to allow for handle renaming to not break existing links.

Faith implies no data.

Why will Apple always out compete Intel and other non-vertically-integrated systems? Margins, future potential, customer relationship and compounding growth/virtuous cycle.

The margins logic is simple, iPhones and MacBooks make tons more money per unit compared with a CPU. Imagine if improving the performance of a CPU by 15% makes the demand increase by 1%. For Apple improving the performance of a CPU by 15% makes the demand increase by 1% for the whole iPhone or MacBook. For this reason alone, Apple can invest 2-5x more R&D into their chips than everyone else.

The future potential logic is more nuanced:

1. Intel's/whoever's 10 year vision is to build a better CPU/GPU/RAM/Screen/Camera because their customers are the companies buying CPUs/GPUs/Screens/Cameras/RAM. They are focused on the metrics the market has previously used to measure success and want to build to optimize for those metrics e.g. performance per dollar. Intel doesn't pay for the electricity in the datacenter nor through its customers' complaints about battery life. RAM manufacturers aren't looking at Apple's products and asking, "do consumers even replace still RAM?" i.e. they are focused on "micro"-trends.

2. Apple's vision is to build the best product for customers. They look at "macro"-trends into the future and apply their personal preferences at scale. For example, do people even still need replaceable RAM? Will they want 5G in the future, or can we improve the technology to replace it with direct connections to a LEO satellite cluster?

The customer relationship logic:

Lets take one such example of a macro-trend, VR and other wearables. Apple is tracking these trends and can "bet on" them because its in full control but Nvidia, Intel, etc typically don't want to "bet on" these numbers because even if they are fully invested, their partners (which sell to consumers) might back out. Apple also isn't "betting on" because it has a healthy group of early adopters that trust Apple and will buy and try it even tho a "better" product in the same market segment isn't purchased. Creating/retaining that customer relationship lets Apple over invest into keeping heat (i.e. power) low because its thinking about the whole market segment that Apple's VR headset can start to compete in and collect more revenue from.

Compounding growth/virtuous cycle logic is also relatively simple:

Improving the metrics in any of these 3 previous pillars manipulatively improves the other pillars. i.e. better customer relationship increases cashflow, increseses R&D funding, 1. improves product, improving customer relationship; or 2. reduces costs, increasing margins, and loops back to increasing cash flow.
is this based on your own experience?
Here is my solution:

use std::fs;
fn main() -> Result<(), String> {
let s = "a.rs";
match fs::read_to_string(s) {
Ok(v) => print!("{}", v),
Err(v) => Err(format!("{} {}", s, v))?
}
Ok(())
}

or you can use `map_err`:

let out_s = fs::read_to_string(in_s).map_err(|e|
format!("{} {}", in_s, e)
)?;
Actually, it would just require that you can't tell whether or not it does.
It should be the same process, except that the constraints file is not automatically created or detected, so step 5 would be "pip freeze >constraints.txt" and step 6 would be "pip install -r requirements.txt -c constraints.txt".

The top level dependencies go in requirements.txt and trigger installation of those packages. Everything else goes in the constraints file, which constrains the version that will be installed if something triggers an installation of the package, but it doesn't by itself trigger the installation - it only locks/constrains the versions.
