As a recent Tesla owner, the Taycan looks real nice. As far I have distilled it, the pros list comes down to roughly

Tesla:

* Price

* Supercharger network

* Minimalism

* Autopilot on highway

* Range

Taycan:

* Interior quality

* More familiar coming from ICE

* The Porsche dealership experience

You can see my lists are a bit lopsided, and I actually prefer the minimal Tesla interior to the luxury Taycan interior.. but I actually think the Taycan is a great car and can't fault someone for considering it.

I just did come back from a 1200 mile road trip that I could not have done very easily in a Taycan. The supercharger network was pretty flawless.
I understand that you want to tell a story. But as someone examining your code, I also want to know how you got there. While you're throwing out your junk, you're also throwing away valuable information. If I'm taking the actual time to review the code history, then let me play it out in real-time, mistakes and all. I know how to step back and summarize, I don't need you do do that for me.

This is especially true if your code is clever. I'm much more likely to understand your polished gem if I can see all the things that you bumped into while you were discovering it.

The seems like the situation where even if an engineer knew exactly where the bug was, they would not be allowed to patch the issues without a bunch of new red tape.

Terminology is super important. Obviously everything about a person is a biological fact, but "medical condition" implies a certain severity and negativity.

It's sort of like asking if being shorter than 6' a medical condition. Or if being unattractive is a medical condition. Obviously not in the common parlance, and anybody who wanted to classify it as such would be seen as a real agitator.

I suppose for people who experience full gender dysphoria and want to transition that's probably necessary for sake of insurance coverage. But I think most people who don't feel either gender norm feels right for them (e.g. "genderqueer") prefer not to have a medical label on it.

I think your comment misses my original intent. If people might value education for its own sake (which is what I was replying to), then I have found Community Colleges to be the perfect place for this.

But to address your point:

> The problem with community colleges is that you completely miss out on any meaningful networking. As long as all the best students see it as beneath them, you'll have a hard time meeting people in a community college who can actually help your career

Since the instructor I had was a well known local musician, he actually called me up a few times for a gig, and I have done quite a bit of networking that way. I think you would be surprised just what type of networking oppritunities are actually are at a decent community college.

Like I said in my comment:

> I have actually known quite a few professors who are in actual industry and teach a class or two.

One of the best entry-level folks I have ever met we found this way. He is an incredibly hard and smart worker, but did not have the money to go to a four year university. So he went to community college, and a colleague of mine who taught there offered him a job as he was a student. Now he has a four year degree (he was able to pay his way through college with that job) and is one of the best contrbutors to that group.
I think fruits in nature probably have a lot more water and are manually picked and eaten which limits the speed and quantity of intake.

Meanwhile humans can eat concentrated fruits. Imagine picking and eating 100 grapes, vs eating a handful of raisins.
I think it very much depends how you use them. A great option to manage submodules is TwoSigma's "git-meta" https://github.com/twosigma/git-meta.

There's also just "meta" which is a cleaner way to approach the functionality of submodules https://github.com/mateodelnorte/meta.
I think rare in the sense that few can afford to have it.
The New York Times vs Sullivan precedent does, in terms of defamation. That may not apply in other situations, specifically in federal crimes.

The Constitution may not differentiate between individuals and other entities, but the courts have differentiated between them. They may not in this case, but I wouldn't assume they would either.

They also differentiate based on other facts, which may differentiate any future cases. We definitely have freedom of the press, as it relates to defamation, and parody, but the precedent established in those cases may not apply to a case involving criminal acts.
I meant and I said I agree with you, but "world will be better like this" is rarely valid defense.
Everything. It turns out that anything in excess is bad for you. Not really a big surprise, IMO.
This is true to a point. But eventually, you've gotten all you can from learning and managing a new thing. You can't reasonably make it more efficient and there are no benefits to spending more time learning it. This is when it shifts from a hobbyist's exploration to a routine, mundane task that requires time and attention while offering no _new_ benefit.

For some hobbyists there's comfort in this repetition; for others, it's just a time sink with high opportunity cost.
Notably, the attorneys aren't taking monopoly money.

> Won't AdTech networks simply migrate to browser fingerprinting, perhaps with a bit of server-side tracking?

they don't even have to. Just store two (or N) sets of cookie trails as they already do. This will waste a few MB of storage on the client side and do nothing to Ad/privacy.

Sites never shared the ID anyway, specially since GDPR-et-al.

AD tech works like this: you send a hash of one ID and on the backend attach all the profile info (nobody will ever share that with partners, because that is gold), then the other side just assign their own hash of their ID and also keep all their targeting info on their backend. The only thing that matters is that party A ID123 is known to match party B IDabc. Note that those IDs are transient and set at random, because party A and party B doesn't want to give up their secret info by matching IDs from multiple sites. That is called cookie match. it does NOT depend on a single cookie jar. It doesn't even depend on cookies! why do you think most Ads (and google search result links -ha!) have those weird hashs appended? zero cookies needed)

Another thing that helps even more than 3rd party cookie is multi-site referrer, but google killed that on both chromium and firefox a long time ago (firefox still have the about:config way to disable/set to single-site, set to multi-site-domain-only, but good luck finding a single human who changes that setting by selecting magic numbers)
>Whats the use for the coin? Its an incentive obviously but its only so because it has a price tag. Who should buy the coin from me if I "mined" one and what would he do with it?

This is the same for any crypto coin. Certainly not unique to Gridcoin.
oh, yes, in rust coroutines do not normally allocate as far as I understand. This is not the case in C++ unfortunately. This was extremely contentious to say the least, but all alternative designs were either very unsafe or were presented very late, so the committee has preferred to go with something working now instead of something perfect in an indeterminate future.

There are already proposals to improve on the design, but we will have to see if they work out.

It is funny because I use git (and commit messages) to help me keep track of what I was working on since I'm a solo developer but also an entire IT department so coding is only a portion of my time. Sometimes I'll just be starting to implement a major feature when something else will come up and I'll have to put it on hold for a few days/weeks. Having the quick little commits helps me figure out where I was and helps me get back into the flow.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. When I typed SaaS products I meant more about a non-IDP product. They might support SSO but not SCIM-based account provisioning, especially if it's in-house auth (not using something like Auth0). I worked on a product that supported SSO but not SCIM for a long time and not all SCIM features were supported.

Class action lawsuits should require a "class advocate" who is only paid a flat percentage of the total amount awarded to the class in a settlement or court victory. The advocate would represent the class and would have the power to hire, fire, and negotiate compensation for any lawyers, and any settlement would require the advocate's approval.

The advocate could choose to fork over half of the settlement to the lawyers if they judge that that is it what is necessary to win, but they could also negotiate lower fees or hire another firm if they believe the lawyers are charging exhorbitant fees or otherwise not representing the best interests of the class.

Motorcycles reduce congestion and emit less carbon emissions than SUVs, sedans, trucks, etc. Sure, loud exhausts shouldn't be used, but banning them without addressing the problem of incompetent drivers only further encourages a bygone car culture that is already arguably too pervasive in our society.

As a side note, this line of thinking "[it infuriates others so] maybe you shouldn't do it" leans totalitarian which in turn leads to suboptimal outcomes (since no one person or even organization knows the optimal way of living or organizing society -- e.g. no mortals can play "god" so to speak). Also, many people are "infuriated" by trivial things, so it's not always a good way to live life imagining who these ambiguous others are and also to placate to their imagined sensibilities.
I guess my first thought is: the amount of fructose in fruit is small relative to the amount in, say, a cola. Also, fiber might mitigate the insulin response. Also, we aren't eating fruits found in the wild (which is the relevant ecological context for this discussion). We have selectively bred fruits to be bigger and sweeter.

"Herd immunity" applies to bacterial infections as it does to viral.

It does not apply to Syphilis. Getting an infection today does not prevent me from getting one next month. Even if it did, it doesn't materially affect the rate at which other people get it from me...unless we are rutting like rabbits in some constant random orgy.
Visualization is a skill that can be practiced, and some brains just seem to be more visually oriented than others from my experience.
> Herd immunity kicks in somewhere less than 100% vaccinated

Yes, but 1 adult "100% vaccinated" takes 2 doses of any of the current vaccines.

if 75% of the population of a country are "adults who can be vaccinated", and the rest are e.g. under 16, or the few adults will have medical issues that prevent vaccination; then you're shooting for 1.5 vaccines per person, i.e. 150%.

And the longer term goal is also to vaccinate children as young as 6. Trials are already underway: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/news/first-childrens-covid-19-vaccine...

And this might actually be necessary for full Herd immunity (if it starts at 80% or 85% fully vaccinated).
Separate issue, but I find Google's end of life policy for Chromebooks baffling. Chrome OS will not update or get any new security patches on any device (made by any vendor) after the device's Auto Update Expiration date. It doesn't matter if the hardware is more-than-capable of running the updated ChromeOS.

Since this is, of course, tied to the Chrome browser on the computer, this means that there is no way for a six-year-old Chromebook to safely browse the web.

How is this justifiable, in terms of security?
On the IBM 1401, there wasn't an operating system so compiling a program was like you said: you put a stack of cards with the compiler and your program in the card reader. The compiler ran in literally 63 phases since there wasn't enough memory to do very much at one time. Compilation took about 3 minutes plus .76 seconds per statement. Your executable got punched onto a stack of cards that you could then run.

Things were faster if you had a tape drive. Your source code would normally be on cards, but the compiler would be on tape.

You can see a video of FORTRAN II compilation on the 1401 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFQ3sajIdaM

Other comments described a later system such as the IBM System/360, where you had an operating system so you could use a card specifying Fortran compilation and you were set.

Add Testing to Vite
This all feels eerily similar to the all the fake products on amazon that are just rebranded versions of the same thing.

In my experience many of these restaurants are all selling the same food. They're buying recipes and ingredients from a big nation supplier like Sysco so you end up getting the food just prepared in a different kitchen.

We've ordered Thai on UberEats and GrubHub from nearly a dozen places and despite different names the food is identical and is flat in flavor.

I've taken to finding real restaurants and picking the food up myself. It's more inconvenient but i'm getting better food for cheaper while building a relationship with a real business.
I responded about the future because the quote you disagreed said "there will be", and I think the general tone of discussion here is around the potential future for abuse. We've seen notable comments by Democratic voters who are legitimately afraid of what their party will become. In this context, I'm not sure if current comparisons of misinformation are very relevant.

Having explained my thinking, I'll make sure to respectfully engage with yours. I do see the point about both sides not being equal in misinformation. But I think that a lot of the apparent difference comes from bias. There are several liberal narratives that are as baseless as anything in QAnon, and others that are partially factually accurate but framed in very misleading ways. But as these are accepted and promulgated in mainstream media, they are not considered fringe misinformation. I think there may still be greater fault on the "right" in misinformation, but it's not nearly as large as it appears to people in a liberal bubble, and, moreover, that disparity can shift overnight. I don't really want to derail this into a debate about those political narratives, so I probably have to leave it at that.
Providing a fully executable business plan is not the goal here.
The atariage.com forums might be the place to go if the author hasn't tried that already. There's a number of old-timers who occasionally pop in on the forums, as well as a bunch of people who just seem to know a lot in general about the history of Atari games and the companies who made them.

I may be misunderstanding, but having a city council isn't an antithesis to self organizing societies.

In my understanding abandoning self organizing societies that could have more or less noise friendly communities in favor of top down politics that more closely resemble a centrally planned society/dictatorship.
> The Constitution may not differentiate between individuals and other entities, but the courts have differentiated between them.

When? To my knowledge, there are no major landmark decisions which hold that an association of individuals may be treated differently from individuals; especially as it relates to the First Amendment. We even have a precedent in Citizens United v FEC which reinforces the consistency between individuals and organizations under First Amendment jurisprudence.

> We definitely have freedom of the press, as it relates to defamation, and parody, but the precedent established in those cases may not apply to a case involving criminal acts.

The established cases also include criminal acts, as was the case when the Ku Klux Klan advocated for (criminal) violence. The courts have held that even advocating for illegal acts at some time in the future is protected (Hess).

Not that many years ago, we used to pay for things with physical cash (gasp!). Once ever week or two, I would go to an ATM, withdraw $N00 in USD, and put it in my wallet. Sometimes I'd have to spend $2 in fees for this service.

There's no reason BTC can't work the same way. With high transaction fees, maybe you'd withdraw once a month? The cost is annoying but it's still safer than having your savings in a shady banking system.

Time marches on. There's a similar phenomenon in the "top n games of all time" articles - its always what matters to the generation writing it.

Your John Carmack example betrays our age. His most important contributions to gaming (at least from a history perspective) was arguably early 90s Shareware/Apogee/Id era almost 30 years ago now, I don't expect my kids to know who he is. Heck, why would a young gamer even know what "shareware" was? The idea of sharing and distribution at large scale via end users cloning physical media (floppies) is pretty much absurd in 2020s and of little use to know, despite being hugely important to Carmack's early successes.

People just want to play fun games and that's fine. We shouldn't discourage it on basis you "don't appreciate the history properly" or be ashamed of this.
Heat Pump technology is pretty awesome and more efficient, when your circumstances and weather patterns support it. Since they move heat from one place to another, they have to work harder as the difference between the temperatures increase.

The ideal solution is a ground-source heat pump, where a closed loop is buried underground to take advantage of the very stable and reasonable subsurface ground temperature.

If you can afford to put in a geothermal ground loop and use a heat pump, you can have a very stable heating and cooling solution that is energy efficient and works well in a super-insulated passive home.
That is what comments and commit messages are for. I trawl history all the time. Running into an unbisectable mess of a branch (because a bug that was introduced in commit X~15 is fixed in X on the same branch) is a complete nightmare. I have to discect the branch history and understand what is because of the branch and what is debugging/review/CI cycle cleanups. Commit messages for fixups also tend to be 100% terrible and utter trash. "Fix review comments". Thanks. If we're doing that, let's copy what the comment was in too and why it fixes it.

The problem with your request is that 90+% of the time (with the way I develop), the dead ends are on MRs that got closed or code that never got pushed in the first place. So again, comments as to why this approach is used is way better than hiding it in the history because someone coming to "clean up" code sees the thought process instead of having to remember to search for it.
