> Our thinking about cars is highly abstract, as though it's an abstract class/interface with a single go_somewhere(destination) method, which fits quite well with OOP thinking.

So what you're saying is I'm going to have to downcast to a concrete class to figure out if my object is actually suitable for going to the store or my bathroom (my house isn't big enough to drive a car through).

Lines up with most OOP systems I've worked in.

That's one of the core use cases for Vinum - to provide SQL query engine, complementing Pandas in data analysis (thanks to Arrow), yet retain an ability to use native python and numpy funcs as UDFs. Also, it doesn't require input dataset to fit into memory.

No. The blockage is the problem; anything on that ship is basically irrelevant from an economical perspective. Especially when we're talking about weeks of downtime.
I'm not sure if those are really necessary criteria to be considered a con artist. But even if they are, the email correspondence with California DMV in which they admit that FSD is not suitable and planned for autonomous driving implies just that: No intend to deliver. [1]

They are talking about two different systems. Static compilation is a separate project which is trying to include only those compiled code that is required. That isn't ready yet for normal people like me, but if you have the knowhow and your program meets certain requirements you can get a tiny binary.

PackageCompiler.jl just compiles everything and packages it up. It generates huge files, because it doesn't discriminate on which compiled stuff to include.

This is one of the aspects of the Islamic world that I do not like. Bartering/bribing/coercing is super common, and I fail to see how it could have any positive benefit at all.

My home country has huge Islamic influences, and it is prevalent there as well. All it does is destroy your sense of trust for any authority, and without even minimal trust no one ever tries to improve things, a vicious cycle.
That's on you that you take it as a value judgment of your or anyone else's character. It's quite literally an accurate description of the rebase feature and the result of its use. And criticism of Git's design philosophy should not be misconstrued as a pretend crusade or personal attack. I presume the lead dev of Fossil and SQLite places a high price on auditability for not only personal philosophical reasons but professional necessity. So highlighting the foible to facilitate falsifying the historical record of a software development lifecycle is fair. But to get so vexed and try to persuade others that an emotional response to an accurate description of a software component is always going to be a tough sell. Instead, maybe try Fossil and see if it is in fact unsuitable to your workflow, then try a different persuasive approach on why Fossil is wrong. Because on this point—it isn't.
We'll need a plot twist then, what would it be?
"In an OOPL data type definitions belong to objects. So I can’t find all the data type definition in one place. In Erlang or C I can define all my data types in a single include file or data dictionary. In an OOPL I can’t - the data type definitions are spread out all over the place."

To me, this is the main argument. In many cases, I think we can go even further, defining the entire data model in SQL, letting it be the single source of truth on what the data model is, letting all code outside of the database adhere to it. The inverse of an ORM.

I just delay any response for any new topic or I do not respond at all if that is just "Hi XYZ". Often I see "nevermind/found it/sorted it out" after a while.

My rule of thumb is 15 minutes.
I also never send "Hi XYZ" alone and then form a question. "Hi" is part of question message (Shift+Enter ftw!) and often while forming the question sentence with some guiding information I manage to find an answer too. No message send, win-win.

The worst part is that for those of us living in the east bay, El Farolito and Taqueria Guadalajara will send burritos thousands of miles away but not to Lake Merritt.

Fun fact, this is how the terms FTTN and FTTH arose. Farolito to the Newark (distribution center) versus Farolito to the Home. Sadly, for those of us living in the first mile around Alameda, we're deprived of the amazing Mission burrito by our friends in a much more Eastern East bay.
Thanks for your feedback here!

On your first point, we are in fact working on an extension to help make trove creation easier. I also think we can make the editor experience a lot better, especially for less technical users who don't know Markdown.

On your second point, you're totally right that the demo could be a lot more compact. Honestly, I know I could have made it a lot more polished / rehearsed — but since we're changing the product a lot at this stage, I figured I'll be making another one soon enough :)
The insight from Amdahl's law is what led to the creation of hybrid processors like the Cell (used in the PlayStation 3 console). They quickly became irrelevant as GPGPU became more mainstream.
I was right there with you in terms of expense/looks-great uncertainty. What ultimately changed my mind was last year they did a 4-months-for-$4 deal, and that was finally a long enough time for me to really test it out and see if I dug it. The short version is: if you have a large local library I think Roon at least is great, and Tidal makes it a little more fun.

The long version: I know it's a lot of money, and I'm not looking to die on this hill, but here's the bullet point list of why it really works for me:

- I have a large (400gb) lossless local library, and I really wanted an intelligent way to just put it on "random", if that makes sense. So the truly killer feature for me is being able to play an album/song -- and then have that mood continue afterwards without my interaction. My own local Spotify is worth quite a bit to me, as it turns out.

- related to the above -- I'm aware lifetime license means just the company, and I've been bitten before. But the people behind it have specifically stated that, in the event of a buyout or closing of shop, they would release a final "untethered" version of their product. They also apparently have a history of supporting products in similar ways, since I believe their previous, defunct companies servers are still operational.

- The metadata/connections are pretty fabulous. They have coverage for a significant amount of niche artists, and plenty of backup photos/notes. They do a great job of connecting musicians in the same "scenes" too, so I've had fun exploring my own library wiki-style and learning influences and collaborations I would never know otherwise.

- the wide cross-compatibility with other audio hardware. Not something I've explored much, but very reassuring since I can make it play out of pretty much anything I want.

- I realize Tidal is somewhat opposed to the local-Spotify goal I listed up top, but Tidal also had a deal at the same time, so I figured why not.

- What ends up happening is that I listen to an album or two I own, get busy in something -- then realize it's switched to Tidal and it's something I've never heard/like. I then go on Bandcamp and buy the album, thus adding it to my local library.

So it's given me this nice loop of discovery, to collection, to adding it to the main queue for when I switch to library-only mode.

()I was also fortunate enough to have a job during this pandemic, so I figured I could use the stimulus for something I would not otherwise purchase -- the lifetime license.)

CONS:

- Lossless music isn't a dealbreaker in a streaming service for me, so I do wish they integrated with something a little cheaper like Apple Music or even Spotify. But I get that's against their Audiophiliac Code of Conduct, and I can live with it.

- No good way to use it remotely, like in the car. Hopefully that'll be a part of 2.0.

> A friend was an LAPD detective for 30 years. He was involved in two fatal shootings, and we talk a lot about his days on the beat.

If he shot and killed two people, you should say he shot and killed two people. This weird circular speech around cops killing people ("officer-involved shooting") is one of the reasons it continues to be so common.

So long as they have a magic phrase for evading responsibility, we'll remain in the situation of having to deal with killer cops.
Heroku and Porter are more like a PaaS (Platform as a Service). Not sure FaaS can compare here. A PaaS could include a FaaS offering, but not the other way around.

Unless you can deploy something like Postgresql to a FaaS. If that's doable, I'd like to read more about it.
> The reason it's good is that it is productive.

I'm going to half-agree but rephrase: it's a kind of programming where even a novice programmer can iteratively approach the correct solution by adding more and more code. That's good from a management point of view: you can always feel like you are getting closer and closer to the goal because you get more and more code and fulfil more and more of the requirements. But I wouldn't go so far as saying this is productive, especially not in the long term. For one thing, you'll end up with a lot of OO code which is the worse thing for productivity.

> Would you rather type out this: Or this

That's not the important distinction between OO and functional. The important distinction here is: when you call the function, is it defined by user? Is it defined on some more abstract base_class which also applies to "groups" and "corporations"? If you want to change it, what do you have to do, and which types and behaviors do you affect when you change it? Subclass polymorphism is is almost invariably a net negative in my experience.

The syntax of OO is great. We realized this especially since it grew to fame at the same time as the clever IDE with autocompletion. But your example would look like the first in e.g. Rust, which isn't an OO language by any stretch of the imagination.
Apps That Can Help You Save Precious Time While Running Your Business
Definitely a performance hit! Probably a combination of the lack of hardware acceleration and running in a JS virtual machine.

I haven't checked the exact hit, but that's mostly because our focus for this tool was on people who would never touch ffmpeg or a command line.

Also, the alternative for us would've been to upload remotely and run on Lambda or similar, which I think would lack hardware acceleration as well.
I've never seen them use, have they actually been implemented by any of the creators?
So string is no longer a "string of characters", it is in fact a program (not Turing complete) that you need to execute.

Though substring(m, n) still makes sense in at least interactive text manipulation: how do you do copy/paste?
And you could recoup the costs by selling tickets to watch the explosion.
That's correct. Instead of offering classes of services ("basic", "premium", etc.) to allow customers of different price sensitivities to self-select, they work with you (in a sense) to figure out your price sensitivity and charge dynamically based on that.

This makes sense because it would be very complicated to try to formalise and market the classes of service, compared to just hashing it out as people with unique relationships to each other.

As much as I love living in one of the least corrupt places in the world, I have to admit that drawing up formal contracts for interpersonal relationships is sort of the weird way to do things. I like it and I think it has many benefits, but when I try to look at it from 10,000 feet it does seem odd from a human perspective.
I've noticed this trend on reddit a lot.

It’s worth noting that bribery comes in many forms, and not all cultures consider it a moral failing even where it is nominally illegal. “Facilitation payments” exist in the grey area between bribes-that-are-illegal and bribes-that-are-business-as-usual.
I think its quite appropriate to be discussing these projects, given that:

a) they are AMAZING (Zynthian is truly an extraordinary project - as is MOD, which is included in the zynthian distro incidentally) and,

b) these projects are available for you to put on your own hardware .. which is an ideology which runs counter to almost every other hardware manufacturer today, operating in the synth business ..

It should be noted, also, that this open attitude and sharing/caring is what good musicians do. Music is one of those realms where the maxim 'information wants to be free' is true, with every single note.
Yes, this is exactly how mORMot (https://github.com/synopse/mORMot) implements the DB server with SQLite.

Yes there needs to be a single use site for this. Everyone is familiar with this , it just needs a catchy name so people on Twitter spread this and easily shame websites en masse for doing it. Webhijacking is too similar to webjacking IMO https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/web-jacking/
I never saw any "great" member rates via Bonvoy, they are typically just 5% lower than the street price. And in exchange I should surround my ability to choose from all other competitors. Also, they will not allow mw to reclaim any points/benefits for stays booked via agents. It's understandable, but looks extremely cheap.
if it's a real issue and you have to issue lots of subrequests, then you don't really get advantage from all Cloudflare micro-optimisations.
In such situation I would suggest to look for other Serverless providers, or maybe traditional approach works better in such case
> My point is that people calling for integrated cities with services all within walking distances need also to accommodate the dirty/loud/dangerous jobs. Outsourcing such things to beyond the city limits is simply a repeat of current zoning policies using different names.

No, it is not current zoning policy. It is literally different policy, the one in which you dont make undisturbing business illegal and push only dirty/loud/dangerous businesses further away. Those two are different policies with different outcomes.

I don't know what it is with tendency to abstract away all differences between very different policies and talk about all of them as if they were the same as extreme.

> The "20-minute city" concept boils down to just another call for better public transportation options.

People actually want to walk, skateboard or bike to services they need for their daily lives.
Have you read the original TDD book by Kent Beck? There's a lot of tips inside. Part of it is starting with what's easy but not obvious. Like a 1+1 might be too obvious, but testing addition and deletion from a list might not be. You don't need a detailed plan. It might also help to just build tests moving forward rather than changing the structure.

The book handholds you through getting stuck on things so I highly recommend it. Tips include: If you know what to type, then type the Obvious Implementation. If not, fake it. If it's still not clear, write more tests and triangulate.

Also remember that refactoring without tests is not really refactoring. So ironically writing the tests first will help a lot.
Given what we've seen happen with the CIA, I'm pretty sure that it's not even "ostensibly" any longer.

The US is emphatically not a country with the rule of law, in the macro (there are large government organizations that act with impunity) or the micro (police kill and rape on a local level with impunity).
That is nowhere close to the biggest. Check out the Mi-26:

Even that is not enough. It can lift 20 tons, and the 40 foot containers on this ship are heavier than that.
I feel this way about US tipping culture.
Nice work guys! I was just wondering whether this is the case for me. I live in Frankfurt and I think it is really the case. The travel times by public transport are a bit long though to other parts of the town. I.e. I live in Gallus and need roughly have an hour to Ostend or even almost an hour to Preungesheim, including walking to the station though. So for such a small city that is quite weird, but I guess the green map shows that I should be happy anyway.
What I don’t understand about this approach is why you think it actually does anything for you ? What you do instead of this is to setup an alert to monitor disk space at the right threshold for you, and then have a contingency plan for how to add more space to your environment.

It seems like you have sort of done that, but in this case you are actually allowing your system to get into a bad state before you react.

Perhaps it’s better to be proactive instead of reactive.
Algorithms aside, I just found out that one of the victims in the Colorado shooting was an Instacart shopper.

It hit me real hard thinking that the app user who made the Instacart order never knew why their order was late and may have even gotten upset and asked for a refund, not having the slightest idea about the tragedy that happened behind the scenes, or the risk to their own life had they gone shopping themselves that day instead of ordering online.

"The mother of two was at the supermarket filling an Instacart order, something she did in retirement to help others, he told the newspaper."

Haha, no. For the vast majority of cases you can definitely formalize most things.

Especially the already formalized services like passage through a canal.

I don’t understand the purpose of the Item Availability Model. If you’re getting inventory updates from a store at least once a day, can’t you use a more simple approach to stock prediction than a machine learning model? I.e. they can calculate the historic sale velocity of an item and with the current stock number decide whether the item will be there when the shopper arrives? They give the example of seasonal items, but if a customer tried to order egg nog in July, wouldn’t they have inventory data that the nog hasn’t been in stock for months? Maybe I’m overestimating the fidelity or completeness of the data they receive from retailers, and I guess ML is a way to do all this math without expressing it in code.
