I quoted "Canadian Amtrak" as an expression of my own making, not one from the article.
it's just how old people talk. Rob Pike speaks of syntax colouring in the same way - he quotes the Bible.

I don't see it as condescension though. I think it's just a way of speaking.

As someone who jailbroke his DS in order to program and run homebrew on it, it was far from ideal.

You needed so many tricks in order to run those fast enough, like removing floating point code and replacing it with integer replacement for the different CPUs it had.

All the API had to be reverse engineered.

Programming mobile phones,or raspberrys is much better and you have much more freedom.

God forgive me for defending Facebook, but doesn't it seem like a government totally controlled by the Murdoch empire is essentially shaking down Facebook? If Facebook can't reach an agreement with the media companies, aren't they totally within their rights to do as they did? I am confused how FB is the one doing the bullying in this scenario. It almost seems like Australia is employing tactics more recognizable to Mafia goons than a democratic government.

Reminds me history of Kazik Nowak [0], who traveled alone on a bike through Africa. The expedition took him 5 years (between 1931-1936).

He wrote a great book about his trip, prizing amazing African nature and giving a hard time colonial powers for making this continent such a miserable living place for its natives. Book does not have English translation unfortunately.

Nowak died soon after coming back (trip was really exhausting, he got Malaria) and for many years his achievement was forgotten. In 1962 his daughter managed to publish a book her father trip, but it didn't attract much attention (communists didn't like to promote anything positive about pre-communism times achievements). Finally it was reedited in 2000 and become very popular in Poland.

No gas stations is a huge downside. If you run out of juice, you're waiting for a flatbed tow truck to take you to a charging station. With a hybrid you can call AAA or you can walk to a gas station and grab a gallon of dead dinosaurs.

I don't understand the insistence on being "fully EV." Just toss a 5 gallon tank and a small gas engine and generator in in every electric vehicle until batteries have a chance to iterate a generation or two.
> The only thing stopping this democratization would be crash-worthiness.

There is no trouble making small crash-worthy vehicles if the standard vehicle is no more than a few hundred kilos and is limited to 30-50 km/h.

On the other hand, the current trend for western vehicles has been to make vehicles that are more and more dangerous for their environment, but which are themselves well-protected.

So there is a good argument that regulation could move towards western standards by banning small cars, but banning larger cars could also produce good safety norms.

It's very hard to make an electric scooter competitive with 150cc which is a mode of transport for probably a billion people.

150cc will be better, and cheaper no matter what you try. I researched the problem extensively when I worked in a number of companies working in the electric scooter space.

Cheapest 150cc scooters sell for $500 — that's the price of a battery pack to make a scooter with comparable range to 150cc on one tank of fuel.

Prices ease in 250cc-300cc segment significantly. $1500-$3000 for low end scooter in this segment, but the majority of scooters in this segment are not that low end.

You can sell 300cc for $3000-$5000 easily even in places like Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Research is underway to process grass into a milk-substitute. It's a matter of making microorganisms that create the right mix of proteins from ground grass. Plenty of food is already created this way. E.g. microbial rennet is made up from proteolytic enzymes grown in a fermentor and natural (as opposed to chemical) vanillin can be made by a microbe.
Wow, thanks. That's a lot to think about.
I definitely see the appeal of Java (used to be my main lang), but I would never in a million years base a company's flagship product on C or C++ unless it was a domain requirement (embedded, kernel, etc.). It's just not safe.
The previous situation was that news outlets could post their own links on facebook, that facebook would have no say in it, and facebook would have to pay for the links. So news organisations could link spam facebook to extract revenue and FB would just have to sit there and take it.

This way both sides need to come to an agreement, you know, the way it works in every other free market ever.
I never noticed anything different in my Facebook feed. Granted I’m only on it for specific reasons. But the whole thing was over blown from my perspective.

If guilt tripping turned people vegan, everyone would be vegan by now (seriously, who hasn't heard at least one berate them like this?). Given that this isn't the case, perhaps you can come up with something that is a little more convincing.
You'd think that, wouldn't you, but surprisingly doing payment processing doesn't necessarily involve any fundamental understanding of the nature of currency, how it's backed, Fed operations, how they related to the Treasury.

Elon makes a lot of questionable statements about BTC and currency.

A few weeks ago:

"Having some bitcoin, which is simply a less dumb form of liquidity than cash, is adventurous enough for an S&P 500 company ... When fiat currency has negative real interest, only a fool wouldn’t look elsewhere. Bitcoin is almost as bs as fiat money. The key word is 'almost.'"

His concerns about the funny money nature of the Fed etc. are reasonable - no doubt, but at the same time, almost everything he says about BTC undermines his credibility on those things.

BTC is not a currency or a 'store of value' just because a bunch of people say it is. It's just list of numbers people are trading because they want to. The Fed has problems, but BTC is a populist fiction.
You can move value between two parties without a third party allowing you to do it. That's the proof. Whether you value that or not is not important.
Obviously he did not bump into any spiders.
Well, I spend most of my Internet time there but I'd say that forum web pages like that are generally overvalued, so perhaps Reddit isn't undervalued after all and other companies are overvalued. Also, their ads only work for limited type of content like software and web apps. I tried an ad for a book there once and it had zero effect. My girlfriend always receives ads for military drones by Lockheed Martin, which is strange since she's only interested in cats and r/food.

I guess one of the reasons why reddit is so popular is that it doesn't really work for this commercial stuff too well (and their website also breaks down from time to time). It's as charming as the cat gifs we watch on it.

what do you mean by this? that humans not of the western world are "lower quality"?
> The current schema version is 12 but the implementations for Go, Rust, C++ and Java are all listed as draft 7

It's actually 2020-12, which is two versions after Draft 7 (they shifted from Draft n to YYYY-MM after Draft 7, and since then have had 2019-09 and 2020-12.)

And that's true of most languages, though there is some 2019-09 support. (It really doesn't help that there is also OpenAPI which baked in a variant—“extended subset”—of Draft 5 JSON Schema.)
Another big difference to ICE is that all quality differences of electrics are highly relevant to their users (range, range, range and the amount of charging hassle required to fulfill your usage pattern), whereas ICE can already be good enough for a user that doesn't want/need/can go fast at an extremely low level of sophistication. Any quality metrics beyond "the engine reliably starts and goes tuk tuk until I arrive where I need to be" are mostly about externalities (noise, stink, other forms of emission) not directly relevant to the user. Cheap BEV manufacturers will see a wildly different incentive structure towards better tech than their ICE brethren (or former selves)
It's torque. If you see a freight train starting up it is excruciatingly slow to get going. Also, rolling stock has a lot less friction than trailers/cars with tires; so once up to speed, a lot less hp per pound is required to maintain that speed compared to something like a semi trailer.
The resulting JSON was pretty clean, no worse than you'd get out of Flatbuffers or Protocol Buffers JSON encoding.

It was very handy to be able to use jq on the data.
I'm sure George Carlin would love knowing one of his quotes prefaced an article about how a company can squeeze more advertising money out of it's user base.

While I'm still complaining:

"You now need an email to sign up..." You don't, you can just click 'next' without entering one.

"The mobile experience was improved" It wasn't. It's designed to be so frustrating you just download the app.
The only production cars reaching anything like that power level are electric super cars. As to how it works: rolling resistance. A typical coefficient of rolling resistance for a railcar is somewhere around 0.0015. Let's guess that a typical train is somewhere around 5000 tons so you only need to be able to exert 8 tons of pulling force to accelerate that train.
As far as I understand it the Australian government is about to allow Facebook to effectively choose winners and losers in the Australian press ecosystem, which would be a monumental win for Facebook.

Is that the case? I'd love to know how such a regulation is great for anyone but Facebook.
To piggyback on what you're saying - the thing that makes Nintendo do so damned well - even beating iOS for games, is that their market is carefully curated to produce a "middle class" of game developers.

Specifically ones who don't go bankrupt and stop making games, which is basically what's happening on iOS, and even worse on Android. iOS gamedev is kind of a slaughterhouse, where a tiny crust of lottery-winners make it look viable, but the other 98% or so of devs don't break even.

There are a lot of reasons for this, and all of them are things Nintendo's worked pretty hard to counter. Refusing to let stuff on the store if it doesn't meet certain QA criterion, forcibly preventing the race-to-the-bottom on the price wars, deliberately avoiding top-10 lists and any of the other reflexive techie moves that end up being anti-patterns (by being attention-funnels that drive further sales to the people who don't need it, and starve the ones who do). There's a LOT of stuff they do right, and some of this they're historically famous for (the QA angle was the thing that famously let them buck the videogame crash of the 80s, in contrast to the prior vendors who had no qualms about allowing outright broken/unplayable games on their devices).

This stuff is important.

Generally what makes markets like this work isn't a technological problem, but a social/political problem. Nintendo understands that game devs need to make a living, but apple and google treat them as cannon fodder, and it has consequences for the quality of work.

If you don't get this right, people will make a bunch of shallow stuff that's a low upfront investment (Angry Birds, Monument Valley, etc), but you'll have shockingly few "deep" games like BotW, because nobody can stomach that risk, especially when they'd have to make an insane number of sales to break even at (presumed) lower prices.
Erlang's ASN.1 is awesome! Have a look at http://erlang.org/doc/apps/asn1/asn1.pdf! It could even be used as an introductory reading to ASN.1, to be honest.
I spent nearly 6 years homeless. I earned money online to help keep myself fed, among other things.

A cheap phone is vastly cheaper than rent. It's tiresome to see people online act like "If only you would not extravagantly piss away $7/month on a phone, you would be back in housing!!!"

Internet access and a phone number are essential for job hunting and an earned income is a common means to get off the street. You can also do online banking and other essential things much easier than dealing with going in person on foot to the bank and so forth.

We had to use donor sperm, and even then we had 8 miscarriages and 8 rounds of ivf. Every time it was at 5 weeks and 5 days. Doctor finally figured out Wife had an autoimmune disorder (presumed) and 10 mg of prednisone during first trimester solved it, for the next 2 out of 3 ivf cycles to get our 2 little boys. She had cancer cells though so had to have a full hysterectomy so we're likely done unless we adopt now...

It was horrible and miserable but our boys are wonderful and amazing. So it was worth it. Honestly, I'd given up and really was just "okay" with things but it meant "more" to wife her being Mormon (me ex-mormon) there's some cultural stuff there. Now that I'm a dad though, wouldn't trade it for anything - love my boys and have grown a ton since having them, I can't even explain how life is different as a dad and before having kids.

TLDR: Sometimes simple things like 10mg of a steroid to stunt immune system can solve the issue, if you have a recurring miscarriages anyways.
And to the larger point about there being too much "news content" much of which isn't news at all of course, I would much rather read one good article a week (or insert preferred time period here) than reading 10, but all of them being so light on content that there isn't a takeaway from them anyway.
If loan repayment is not made, or the collateral falls in value sufficiently that the loan becomes undercollateralized, the collateral will be sold to cover the outstanding debt. The outstanding debt can be invested on a new business, stocks or gold - its not restricted to buying digital assets.
Tangentially related but I'll take this opportunity to ask. One thing I have never understood is the idea that a weak currency is good for exports, because it makes goods cheaper (more competitive) for the foreign buyer. It seems like it would be very simple for exporting companies to adjust their prices instantly to counteract any weakening of the currency. If not, they are essentially lowering their prices. Alternatively, why can't exporters just lower their prices without weakening the entire currency?
I have used Go on a project that could easily have been done in Python, though. So they are not that far apart in terms of suitability.

> Outside of the sliver of people that research religion that remain religious...

I come from the rural area of a developing Muslim country (Bangladesh), most people around me didn't have much secular or religious education, and yet I think absolutely everyone around me knew Islam is a continuation of Christianity.

The idea is that current generation of Christians have lost their way (and one of their greatest sins is worshipping Jesus), that's why God had to reveal Islam, but the "true Christians" of past were righteous and worshipped the same God as ours.

I think you're not aware of how big a deal is shirk- the idea of attributing God-like power to humans- is in (Sunni-) Islam.
I find that JSON5 does too much.
May I ask you on your opinion on non-faithful simulations (as a layman with only superficial understanding of the topic)? Would not some heuristic or discrete signaling enough for approximating the actual working? Are non-direct effects as you have written in a previous comment significantly modify the responses?

It is in fact objectively better from a standpoint of pure suffering to eat meat that was treated well before it was a corpse than to eat meat that was treated poorly. It is evident from your post that you consider this an unenlightened standpoint worthy of scorn (and perhaps it is, I don't care). That's nice for you, but there's really no call to talk to other human beings like this when all they've done wrong is not have the same opinions as you.
> Go’s build output is a single file, whereas dotnet’s is a folder with the built assemblies (including dependencies). Building a docker image and pushing it to microk8s is much faster when all you’re packaging up is a single binary, vs. an entire directory of assemblies.

From .NET 5 onwards, you actually have the option of publishing to a single file. Technically you could do this in .NET Core 3 too, but it was really just a self-extracting ZIP.
That will be a very easy target for faking clicks...
I don't know what gave you the silly idea that I was saying people would prefert a smartphone over a permanent home. That is not the choice people have to make. A smartphone does not cost hundreds of dollars per month. And I'm pretty sure that you don't know any homeless people either if you think they'd give up their phone for a few nights of shelter (which is what it might realistically buy).

I was disagreeing with the statement "if you can't afford to have a roof over your head I'd argue the smartphone is irrelevant".

Contrary to that, if you do not have a home, a smartphone is extremely useful and valuable. In the hypothetical sitation that you find yourself homeless with nothing except clothes and $100, a cheap smartphone is absolutely the best possible use of that money.
Ask yourself if he/she is someone you'd want as a manager. I mean personality wise. Would they make a good manager, if they were not your manager?
Nobody's saying that you shouldn't spend money on a phone and save it for housing. Rather the opposite. People are saying that literally everything except housing (and healthcare) is so cheap compared to housing (and healthcare) that inflation measures (which typically exclude housing and healthcare) are pretty much useless.
Is that a real problem with a reputable bare-metal hosting provider? I agree that a fly-by-night VPS provider would be a major risk, but OVH for example is a major host in Europe (that successfully hosted websites long before the "cloud" was a thing). They have all the major certifications and have been in the business for two decades now and their uptime is solid.

The only risk I can see is the lack of managed services, but Postgres isn't that hard to manage yourself, and other value-add AWS services can still be used (the cost savings of your baseline load being on bare-metal would most likely still offset the bandwidth costs of moving data between AWS managed services and your bare-metal host).
No one cared is not correct - a lot of people did. But the holocaust proper started in 1941 and the UK were already full on at war with Germany so there wasn't very much we could do beyond what was already being done.
Years ago when mining with a single gaming card was more common and viable, I lived in a rented room in a house owned by a live-in landlord who controlled the heating, and wouldn't turn it on for very long in the winter. Since electricity was included in my (fixed) rent, I was able to keep my room a few degrees higher than the rest of the house.

However I must point out that you shouldn't do this in most circumstances, there are environmentally friendly ways of heating your house.
This was my first trip to Canada, and of course it had to coincide with the worst ice storm in living memory. We made it to Montreal and then immediately got snowed in, the road from the airport into Montreal was more like a tunnel between two walls of snow and ice thrown up by the snowblowers. Quite the experience. Fortunately after a week or so we could leave for warmer territories (Toronto, so 'relatively' warmer) but it is an experience I'll never forget. It took many months to restore the damage done by that ice storm.
The first sentence in the second paragraph explains that the author has a heat pump and what it does for them. The article then goes on to explain where the miners fit in.
