It happens in some simplified models. Suppose a thousand tracks get released every year, and these tracks are evenly divided among 50 different types of music, 20 tracks per type. Some of these types of music are very popular (4.95 stars), some are slightly less popular (4.90 stars, maybe because they offend some powerful group), and some are much less popular (4.00 stars). So the most popular 100 tracks will be the 20 tracks from each of the 5 most popular music types.

If we increase the number of tracks to ten thousand, there are a couple of ways we can go. We could increase the number of types of music to 500, and in that case, we'd see better music rising to the top. (Or at least more popular music, which may or may not coincide with being better.) Or we could increase the number of tracks per type to 200, in which case a random half of the tracks of the most popular 4.95-star music type will be the "top 100" for the year.† Or we could go for the middle of the road: maybe now we have 150 types of music and 67 tracks of each one. Or we could have musicians and record companies that respond to incentives by trying to produce more music of the popular types, somewhat handicapped by the fact that those popular types change every year, and however much Nickelback might try it, recording the same song under twenty different titles doesn't actually give you twenty top-ten hits.

Regardless, there are a lot of ways that more published music could both provide more variety and less varied top hits.

†Of course the Billboard Hot 100 is per week, not per year, but that's the least of the oversimplifications in this model!

> as well say academia's open access movement makes no sense as no one is pointing a gun at your head

The difference is that there is in fact no practical reason ever to buy a copy of ISO 14882. It takes contrived legal circumstances, such as a contract in which you are obliged to deliver someone the specific document published by ISO. In practice I have never encountered a real case, so this is a case of straining at gnats.

Recently, ISO relied on sales of Standards to fund its operations. Furthermore, allowing sale of inauthentic copies could endanger the public. But nobody benefits from offering a free download of the wrong thing, so perverse incentives have dissipated.

Anyone who chooses to spend the money can have the ISO document with its authoritative Title Page, and all of the satisfaction that Title Page brings them. They are fools only if they chose that over something else of actual value. Not everybody has a limited budget, or is spending their own money.

Cplusplus.com has a pattern of failing to fix errors it has been notified of, and of failing to keep up with current Standards. Use it if you like being misled. We might like to be able to exercise some authority to take down cplusplus.com, or force them to correct their falsehoods, but there is no such authority. The only real incentive they have to correct errors is to maximize ad revenue, but the marginal value of correctness is evidently limited.

The maintainers of cppreference are users of the Standard, and are inconvenienced by any misperceptions about what the Standard requires, so invest substantial effort to keep it in line, so far as tracking Defect Reports and resolutions.

It's kinda an interesting problem-- the technology readiness re: weather.

Right now a lot of self driving, like Waymo, is aimed at taxi fleets, because the equipment is expensive, so amortizing the cost over many driving hours per day makes fiscal sense.

But-- a taxi fleet that requires a massive scale up / instant appearance of a human workforce when it's rainy is a non-starter.

On the other hand, personal cars would be useful with an "only sunny" autonomous mode.

> There's not much that can be done with it because essentially (not basically) it is acid

Couldn't you neutralize it by (say) dumping in a bunch of baking soda? Or lye? (Hm, what actually happens if you mix sulfuric acid with lye? Do they neutralize each other, or turn into something even nastier than the sum of its parts? That'll teach me to blow off high school chemistry.)
OTOH, i think you can actually measure the quality and accessibility of tooling based on how abundant the long tail of mediocrity/low-quality output there is.

in music’s case, one of the replies to this comment describes decline in musical complexity/sophistication, which i’d personally attribute to democratization of the tools (which are also much more powerful, allowing kids w computers to do what took whole teams and studios full of equipment before).

so i think only seeing high quality UIs in the wild is more of a mixed bag than is intuitive to us — a world absent of shitty soundcloud rap is a world with worse music tooling.

The problem is that, unlike Uber, they need to pay the cost to maintain their fleet of vehicles.

As always, technology is a tool, and a double-edged sword. It's just hard to predict how it will change society sometimes. IMO brain implants are actually way more dangerous than genetic engineering ever could be. People creating designer babies with blonde hair and a higher IQ is nothing compared to the risk of people no longer being able to feel empathy and sadness in response to problematic situations. Maybe we'll even stop feeling love, because it's just too inconvenient.

Oh and uh, yeah: brain implants could also make it possible to implement the notion of thoughtcrime. I hope, for your own sakes, that your political beliefs and opinions are in line with that the majority has deemed correct.
> Anyway, as a simple test try and count how many cars you can see next time you go for a drive, how many people’s gender you can infer, and how many you can positively identify based on their looks. It’s significantly safer to try this as a passenger.

Might be interesting to try, but I think in a situation where I notice a bad driver I'm much more likely to identify their gender than in a random passing car.

But I live in a comparatively small Austrian city riddled with traffic lights, weird intersections, crosswalks, and way too much traffic in general, so I get ample opportunity to look at slow moving cars. If you're American your culture around cars is probably very different and that might explain why we seem to have a different intuition about this.
60s space tech also hit a lot of limitations of computers of the time. SpaceX's Super Heavy is in some ways a reimagining of N1's first stage, but with control software that makes it viable to deal with engine failures in flight.

But a big problem is also that the progress in space tech wasn't organic. There was no economic incentive, it was driven purely by propaganda, national pride and political goals. Once that fell away it took half a century for economic usecases catch up to a point where private investment was viable.
It's always either "Think of the children!" or "X will only be used to investigate the most serious of crimes like terrorism, rape and murder" which shortly afterwards is then (quietly) forgotten about when something like browsing history etc. can be downloaded by basically anyone in government(s).

Maybe there is a restriction snort where such an action requires a warrant but considering that "judges" and "courts" for that (like that infamous US secret court, seriously WTAF) are basically rubber-stamping enthusiasts, it's not actually a restriction and just compromises end user privacy and (online) information security.

"Backdooring E2E encryption"/"Private key escrow" are some other examples of unrealistic and ultimately harmful things called for by technologically inept, old people who inexplicably have been granted the power to devise laws that will most likely only show their full effects years or decades down the line when most of those legislators are either already dead or don't have to worry about the consequences of such legislation anyway ("I don't even use a computer, what do I care? The internet is just full of criminals anyway." quote from my 80-something grandmother).
In German there is a nice idiom for that kind of thought pattern: "Nach mir die Sintflut" (something like "After me, the flood/deluge" from what I could find).
At the same time these old people and their accomplices - indoctrinated middle-aged people - try to stem the flow of young people into politics if their ideologies do not align with the elderly agenda by e.g. accusing them of trying to oppose the protection of children or something equally effective in the mass media (via the excuses mentioned above).

On top of endless work (nights and weekends) and stress is intense burnout that make it difficult to even think about programming outside of work hours.

Yes definitely.

I was surprised recently as I had to fill in a massive form based site for UK NHS mental health survey stuff. The site appeared as a flat background old style early 2000’s sort of thing with bits of comic sans in it. I nearly died when I first saw it expecting a shit show.

But it turned out to be responsive and fast. It worked perfectly from end to end and had little to no JavaScript. It was by far the best thing I’ve used for years. There were over 100 page transitions in total. It wasn’t an SPA but a classic web site with little or no intelligence. Seemed to be backed by python.

I want this back.

As the new kid on the block, I skipped TECO for KED (which I have a soft spot for to this day). Sometime around '85, had to write a VT100 emulator for some newfangled Z80 box just so it could be used it as a terminal for my personal PDP-11.

OK interesting, didn't know about those options. I have seen the ${(...)x} syntax but not really used it. Yes it doesn't rate highly on my readability scale :)

I have heard the feedback that people like zsh expansion shortcuts, e.g. for globbing. Personally I am a find/xargs person, i.e. I select the files first with 'find' and then execute what I want with xargs.

It does require you to invert your thinking -- you're going from verb NOUNS to NOUNS verb. And you have to go back to the beginning of the command line and edit it. But I do find that it lets you test out the selection logic more naturally.

find can also be faster, e.g.

find . -name .git -a -prune -o -print

skips the even STATTING .git directory, not just printing it, as opposed to ** I believe.

However find arguably has an even worse syntax (although it is explicit, just with some dumb shortcuts). One longstanding goal is to put a better syntax on the "evaluation model", which is pretty useful. It's basically a predicate that's evaluated over every node in the FS tree, but you can also customize the traversal.

It might be better for programs rather than interactively, but I started using it interactively too.

(When compiled with glibc, Oil also has bash/ksh-style extended globbing, which allows negation etc., but it seems only old scripts use that.)
Other systems have half-height platform screen doors, and some lines that run outdoors use them, so separating the in-tunnel airflow and the station airflow (filled with hair apparently) is probably not the only engineering concern.

> I mean a legal system which allows people to trick and force people into not being able to protect themself if they are scammed is completely broken IMHO.

Was the writer actually tricked, as in did someone misrepresent the contents of the lease agreement?

I didn't notice an allegation along those lines in the article.

That could be fraud if the contract was miss-represented in some way, although some contracts say you are agreeing to only what is written and no verbal discussions are part of the agreement.

It then becomes a fairly important legal concept that when you sign an agreement, that you understand and knowingly enter into the terms outlined into that agreement.

As a way overly simplistic example, if I sell a widget for $100, some of that price might be to cover potential litigation and the like. However, if I find a customer who's willing to take the risk and agree to not sue me for some problem with the product, that agreement might be worth $75 to me. If all my competitors start selling competing widgets with a template that waives that right to litigate, I might have to follow along, because enough customers don't want to buy the $100 widgets and realize the price difference is a protection for them.

Consumers could presumably band together and elect lawmakers that pass a minimum standard that no one can enter into a contract that doesn't allow disputes to be resolved via the courts, but then you don't get to complain when widgets get more expensive, or that there are other terms in the contract that aren't agreeable.

If it wasn't a concept that when you enter into an agreement and sign those terms, that you actually understand and agree to those terms, I can't even predict what the chaos would look like.

I think you could have web rich documents with basic interactivity and as an option web application that are "native app like" , with tons of APIs for camera/microphone , bluetooth, canvas, 3d , complex sound APIs.

We have to admit that rich web application can be very usefull, even during Java or Flash days we known that sometimes you need an animation or a simulation on a page to better present some content.

Though it makes you think if we had an 100% open source Flash, then you could have used it for complex SPA like Figma while keeping all the bloat into an optional plugin , if the plugin was optional developers would not be tempted to use it unless is needed and it it was needed they would have use something like Flex (a Flash GUI tookit) and not reinvent the wheel constantly.
Basically this is why you want to go full zero trust: if you use mutual authentication over TLS, this becomes much less of a concern since you’re not trying to craft policies based on IP addresses with multiple intermediaries.

There's a lot going on with US gasoline consumption:

1) land use decisions are pushing people further from workplaces

2) consumers are switching from the "car" class of vehicle to "light truck" which is negating fuel efficiency improvements [1]. There's a lot going on here, from people getting larger vehicles for perceived safety, to better comfort, to just having more money to spend on larger vehicles. Plus, all those people who think they need a truck despite using the bed once or twice per year.

3) Demand for gasoline is incredibly inelastic in response to price, with huge price spikes having almost no change in gallons of gasoline even as consumption in dollars spike [2]
