My experience is exactly the opposite. Windows and Linux are installed on my laptop in dualboot mode. Linux goes to sleep and wakes up just fine 100% reliably. Windows, however, uses this "connected standby" or "modern sleep" mode by default that on multiple occasions lead to waking up while the laptop was in my backpack and then draining the battery to zero. I got fed up with this and decided to disable this shitty sleep and go back to normal S3 sleep mode. It's not so easy on Windows 10 anymore! It took me a couple of hours but I finally found a solution. And S3 is now the default sleep mode instead of the modern sleep. Looks like the sleep mode is fixed. However! My laptop began to go to sleep as soon as I activated the lock screen even if it was connected to power. Wtf! More hours spent on searching for solution (other people experience this issue as well). It turns out there is a hidden (!) power option. You need to unhide it by changing the registry and then disable it. Now my laptop when connected to power still spontaneously goes to sleep, but it happens after 20 minutes or so. I don't know what other option I need to change. I just can't spend any more time researching this crap.

If you encounter a problem or task, then do it using shell commands. This will push into asking the question "what command can do X?" and "how do I connect command X to command Y?" and "how do loop commands over output?". Then just keep doing that over and over again.

Learn the shell chainsaw: `xargs`. `xargs -L` vs `xargs` and `xargs -I` (examples will say use `{}` but I'm partial to `xargs -I @` because that works with Fish and Bash, plus it's a single character.

And no, I am not a bot. Well, I guess to some extent I am, I'm just the SQL routines running on a server, and I'm writing this down based on what I see in the database that this user is said to have sent at some point, and the frontend code will render it to you in some way I guess. See you there, friend.

But yeah I do think that in a simulative language as we have, anything that is referrable-to as a subject in a sentence can appear as an agent in this way, probably. And I think processes running by computer we tend to conjure into many types of sentences (in our human languages that refer to them) with intricate enough dynamics (whether subject, object, modifier, whatever) that I would consider them as existing among our society generally. They appear with as much complexity as what we consider others like ourselves do. Like even if only by looking far into our history and seeing the extent to which we acknowledge others: some times we acknowledge processes-by-computer more.

The $4M Complaint Call (2012)
Ignoring whether it’s “human nature” to vary by that much, the remedy is simple: in a 60mph limit (the clue is in the name), target 54. +/-10% is now 48.6-59.4, instead of 54-66. It’s within the speed limit, and a smaller absolute speed differential between lowest and highest speed.

Similar arguments have been made against average speed cameras on UK motorways - “I’ll have to be entirely focused on the speedo the whole time!”. No, you just drive within the speed limit.

The speed limit is not a target.

I have a modern car. 2015 Kia Optima, and it has basic cruise control. I don't know what conditions you're driving in, but I think it's fucking scary to drive with it on unless there's a completely open highway in front of me. Not controlling my own following distance feels like I'm about to hit the car in front of me at any given moment, especially on a road where the speed limit is 75mph and you have people going anything from 60-90mph.

Never heard of a speed limiter. As you can probably tell from the "freedom units," I'm from the US if that matters.
As far as I can find the lawyers are trying to get the only objective piece of evidence - the cars own logs - thrown out. Claim the witnesses are unreliable at judging speed and are clinging to an early statement that it might have been "low speed collision".

If we give them the benefit of the doubt why would they try to get rid of evidence that they were driving within legal limits? Especially when they have to deal with several "unreliable" witnesses claiming that they were driving too fast?

When you have more money than time, prefer buying. When you have more time than money, prefer rolling your own. It's a well-known principle.

For a VC-backed startup with millions galore and a pressure to beat competition, buying is natural.

For a bootstrapped company or a side project, building your own may be best, especially when the advanced features that make market-leading solutions more expensive does not add a lot of value at the company's current scale, and the growth is not exponential.

> There's probably a lesson for language designers here.

When I was learning the code back then the problem with safe languages was you couldn't get outside the sandbox. And for anything practical you needed to. There either weren't API's for things you wanted. Or the API's that existed were insufficient. I remember in the early 80's someone showing me some code for high end medical product. It was written in Pascal and C. With shim functions to dick with the stack so you could call C functions from Pascal. Couple of years later they rewrote everything in C++.

Notable I think C# and Rust both have no seat belt modes.

Absolutely. Especially because Frank Luntz is completely non-partisan and has no interest in helping Biden's opposition[0]:

"Frank Ian Luntz (born February 23, 1962) is an American political and communications consultant, pollster and pundit,[1][2] best known for developing talking points and other messaging for the Republican causes. His work has included assistance with messaging for Newt Gingrich's Contract with America, and public relations support for pro-Israel policies in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He advocated use of vocabulary crafted to produce a desired effect; including use of the term death tax instead of estate tax, and climate change instead of global warming.

Luntz has frequently contributed to Fox News as a commentator and analyst, as well as running focus groups during and after presidential debates on CBSN.[3] Luntz describes his specialty as "testing language and finding words that will help his clients sell their product or turn public opinion on an issue or a candidate."[4] He is also an author of business books dealing with communication strategies and public opinion."

IDK to me that sounds like downplaying the issue. Drunk driving is not ok, not even in remote parts of Scotland.

As for driving 35 in a 30 zone... I can agree that it's not much of an issue if it's next to a school and you drive in the middle of the night: there won't be any children entering or leaving the school at that time. But generally, these racers drive way faster, and don't give a fuck about any of these rules, red lights, etc. They see the roads as a racetrack. On the computer or console, they can play GTA V or whatever, I don't care. Just if they do it in the real world they deserve harsh punishments, as the risk of killing people is so extremely high.
Sorry, you’re totally wrong.

The spirit of the law is not just to save third party lives.

When you cause an accident, you drain society’s emergency response resources (and increase the premiums of those in your insurance pool).

35mph vs 30mph is a terrible example - this is the scenario where pedestrians and cyclists are most likely to be around. 75mph vs 70mph would have been a better example.

Driving at night is more dangerous than at day because of the reduced visibility.

Driving when fewer other road users are around is safer than when it’s busy, but you don’t have perfect knowledge and there may be road users you haven’t seen, especially at night.

There’s no objective moral cliff edge between 70mph and 70mph+ε, but there is one between complying with the law and breaking it. Society collectively draws the line somewhere and you don’t get to unilaterally decide everybody else is wrong. I’ve heard people saying “I was only going a little over 30!” called speedo pedos, because it’s exactly like saying “she was only a little underage!”.

Check out the sibling comments for examples of people who thought they knew better but didn’t.

The thing about Scotland is completely wrong, I have no idea why you would think that.

Surely there are animals frolicking around in these remote parts of Scotland. Think of deer. Traffic rules generally make sense, you should follow them. I live near a school. Its 30 km/hour around the school. People drive 50-60. Its dangerous, even for me. This selfish behavior has to stop.

I think on a higher level most views of societies and technology will converge on a very abstracted “evolutionary” view. Looking at Kellys argument you could say the same thing “it has a will” about evolution ...but evolution certainly has no will, it just has probabilities and fitness of certain variants for certain environments. The same thing is true about technology there is a certain fitness of a solution for the environment and that environment is based on technological, market and societal “fitness”. Speaking about agency like Kevin Kelly does makes no sense in that context.

It depends on the field (and journal, author preferences, and a bunch of other things...), but the main author is generally the person who did the bulk of the research and the last author is the usually the principle investigator, group lead, or gatekeeper (i.e., the person who frames the paper for a particular journal(s) to maximize publication success).

As far as how all of this played out in this case, who knows, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with having either the first author or group lead as the main focus of the article, as long as both of them (and the other contributors) are openly acknowledged, which appears to have happened.

> how you feel we (recruiters, interviewers, hiring managers, etc.) are failing you.

Here's my big thing - interviews, recruiters, hiring managers are all trying to do one thing, and one thing alone - fill that spot. Many times, I don't think they care if it's a great fit for the candidate, and will paper over workplace issues or culture. In the end, sadly the problem is that the people doing the hiring and the person getting hired many times have completely different goals. Same for compensation.

Whereas for the candidate, it's really about picking the right company to work for and interview at.

People are really on their own to find the right fit, and it's certainly not easy. Finding your own fit can be tricky especially if you are changing roles and your resume doesn't look like what the hiring manager was expecting.
This one is interesting, cause it really depends who you mean by "significant" The first author is generally the primary researcher. The last author is generally the PI of the entire lab, and the person of highest status in the lab.

The thing is expectations and boundaries. As a participant of traffic you need to be able to feel secure, regardless of day or night. So in your example (and I live near a school and 30 km/hour street near it), if there is hardly any traffic at night you don't expect anyone either. Which might make someone driving 50 km/hour even more dangerous than when everyone is driving too hard constantly during day.

I worked for a FAANG where this was part of my job. I would often come into rooms and question why the client was spending money on a product that didn't appear to suit their needs.

This was incredibly effective, as it meant that the client actually trusted us when we said something would work.

That being said, I'd normally avoid calling our products crap (even when they were) and just push the client to use something that wasn't crap.

This only worked though, because we had a separate reporting line to sales, so any VP pressure had to go through our VP (which happened, but not as often as you'd think).

My understanding is that they changed this after I left, with predictable consequences.

Not at all. I've been driving at what seems like a sensible speed for the conditions and suddenly there is a deer right in front of my car. You cannot see some of the animals until you are right on top of them.

The fact is that there is too much traffic, there is insufficient infrastructure (and you probably can't add a lot because you will spoil the place) and there are animals freely roaming around. It is recipe of animal deaths in that area.

I dunno what the answer is. Paying the police to put up another gatso van isn't going to solve it though.
