You aren't going to hear "British people have shitty food and can't get laid" because it's not really insulting.

That other stuff? That got you mad. You've got multiple threads running about how terrible it is - and there's a good chance you don't even identify as one of those groups.

I also like the Ken Thompson extensions from which part of Go was inspired by

struct X { int a; }
struct Y { *X; int b; int c;}

void add(Y* self, int number) {
self->a += number;
}

Y y;
y.a = 10; // composition
y.add(1) // y.a = 11 now

This alone would simplify C coding so much without taking any power out of it.

The other extension i would add is some sort of interface or protocol.

As soon as you can do something like "y.add(1)", having a generic contract to refer to things without having to know its concrete type is some of the good things from the OOP world.

With this you would also be able to call some cleanup code and even a initializer.

This is still C and its still much simpler than C++, and yet almost as powerful.

C should propose these kind of things even if it was not that conservative and it would retain a lot of coders that migrate instead giving C barely evolved from its 70's roots.

I wonder what will happen to the SUV vs. car distribution when “gas guzzler” isn’t a consideration anymore. There’s still parking, of course, but most SUVs I see have the same wheelbase as their sedan counterparts. They’re just tall.

> Yes, the site refutes this. It says not word one about "acceleration".

Does it? The site says The Initiative supports the Profile of a Virginia Graduate by redefining mathematics pathways - i.e. it defines a new program by which math is to be taught. This program is illustrated with a chart (Follow the "Math Path"!). "Advanced placement" appears in this chart no sooner than grade 11.

When someone closely familiar with this system (member of the school board), that may have attended meetings where more information was shared, beyond what is featured in this website, tells me this means there will be no accelerated math before grade 11, why shouldn't I believe them?
Am I understanding this right?

You're saying that gas is $3/gallon and electricity is $12/kWh?

Over here gas is around $7,50-$8 per gallon and electricity is around $0.05/kWh. A 100km drive in an EV costs around 2€, while in a petrol powered car the cost is 8.5€ for a low consumption car.

No wonder Americans drive huge cars with no regard to consumption :D
This really gets to the core of my love/hate relationship with the "weird" internet. I was an Ars-poster ~20 years ago and hadn't heard any of those rumors. Never ventured into 4chan for more than 5 minutes at a time. But I did spend a lot of time in the Gawker comment section and reading things like the Crazy Days and Nights blog. It definitely gives you a different perspective on journalism. There are so many stories which exist in a different plane, completely known by mainstream journalists but unreported for decades. It's insane.

Always reminds me of the classic 1978 Johnny Rotten interview BBC interview where he calls out Jimmy Savile. (Video features a gross Piers Morgan pretending like he never heard about Savile.)

Yes, Blender is an amazing project and great 3D production software for being free. However there are many issues that remain unresolved after years. Viewport performance being one of them. There seems to be at least to an extent a mode of development where fun new things get done but old, boring, more critical issues will not.

I give all credit to Blender developers for doing the old, boring and important things. It's just very frustrating waiting for years and realizing that what was the vision a couple of years ago, very few things actually got done.

>what you're doing is gaslighting

How does me saying that the 4chan isn't as white-dominated as you say it is (with a hard proof, given that you can literally take a look at pictures from irl meetups from both 4chan and reddit, and then compare yourself) count as gaslighting?

>There is nothing normal about that boards pre-occupation with calling for racial extermination.

Will it make you feel better, if I told you that you can go and see those threads in many directions, including Indian-poster threads getting into extermination-tier shitfights with Paki and Israeli posters, as well as threads where Italians and Polacks call for mutual genocide? And let's not forget the asian continent shitfight threads, where there is an eternal argument between Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean posters trying to prove to each other who should've genocided whom at which point in history, with occasional oil being poured into the dumpster fire by Vietnamese and Indonesian posters.

The board isn't pre-occupied with racial extermination. It is pre-occupied with edgy content that you cannot find elsewhere. Given that knowledge, it is understandable why most of it ends up being just wild trash. But there are definitely occasional gems in the rough that can be found there that cannot be found elsewhere.

Only some orbits would intersect with L1 point, others will require immense fuel waste to get there and then change orbit to original target. Also there are no gas stations in space, for multiple reasons - there is no steady demand to fuel in space, it is at best sporadic and spiky, and in the mean time you'll need to keep up cryo fuel from boiling off; then it is hard to operate anything remotely, so Gateway gas station would be harder to operate than ISS in LEO; there is no need to place gas station farther than LEO because in space we don't need to bother with actual distances, but with gravity. Earth to Mars is 62 million kilometers, so speaking in analogies it would make sense to refuel at half of the distance, similar to the traveling by car from New York to San Francisco. But in reality it is not. Getting 300 kilometers from Earth to LEO takes 9 km/s of delta V, getting the rest 62000000 kilometers from LEO to Mars takes 5-6 km/s of delta V. LEO is much more than half way to Mars already and there is literally zero point is refuelling anywhere else (excluding fuel generation in space possibility).

Your comments start with "I noticed a lot of people" and continues talking about the individuals.

The part where you say a ban would be useless as they'd just circumvent it seems like saying a blanket ban is justified. Or where you wondered why Hacker Rank let them use their platform at all. I will say, I'm less sure that Hacker Rank wouldn't violate the economic restrictions now, visiting the site makes it look a lot more like job recruitment than I thought it was.

Beyond that, I'll paraphrase. For absolutely no reason, you assume that everyone using a computer in North Korea must be using it for hacking. Yet in the society you live in, can you name a single business that does not use some kind of software the tools at Hacker Rank helps improve?

They have plenty of use for the training outside of criminal hacking, and you saying it's a "workaround" for them to access educational resources ignores this.

>I'd also love to hear why you have such a strong point of view on this subject

I hate how people treat North Koreans as either mindless tools of the state or pitiable oppressed masses. None of your comments have acted like any of the people signing up are real humans expressing complex desires in their admittedly somewhat shitty situation.

> Electric car charging stations are going to look completely different the gas stations as they costs a few thousand dollars to install rather than a cool million for a gas station. So rather than having a bunch of high profile gas stations we're going to end up with somewhat ubiquitous electric charging stations of varying capacity.

Yep, this is the big change people aren't yet getting. Every mom and pop store in a small town can get free advertising just by installing a $1k charger for their customers and having it be visible in charging maps.

I have no interest in stopping to charge at Generic Gas Station #42 with the accompanying Franchise Fast Food Restaurant next to it when I'm on vacation or a road trip. I'll rather pick something interesting.

That's one reason I'm hoping that we start seeing more lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells in mid-range cars, as they don't require nickel or cobalt.

I counted the women on the top 100 of Greece, it is only 3 women. India is a strange country to get statistics about. Women participation in Greece is double that of India for sure (the first country in the world to introduce woman voting), so 3% instead of the normal 12% someone would expect. Women underperform 4 times than men. A huge percentage. Women underperform always in high risk, high reward scenarios. Jordan Peterson have made many statistical researches in subjects like that. I was not wrong at last. But the article is very good.
Why would it have to be exclusively? That doesn’t even make any sense, nothing works that way. There’s still a HUGE overlap.

Regardless, if you actually quantify it over time, there is a sharp uptick in discussion of race and identity politics in general shortly after Occupy Wall Street. The same rhetoric was used to attack Bernie Sanders and his supporters despite from the 2016 primary onward.

This can be true when trying to compare science A against science B. However, there is no controversy when comparing a program designed to deliver an instrument package with one designed to build a brand.

Also, there are frameworks for evaluating science output per dollar. This is what funding agencies do when creating and managing grants. There is alot of subjectivity involved which is why DOE program managers, for example, are pulled from practicing experts in the relevant field and tend not to serve very long in those positions before circulating back.
The thing about fitting everything in one rack, potentially, is vibration. There have been several studies into drive performance degredation from vibration, and there's noticeable impact in some scenarios. The Open Compute "Knox" design as used by Facebook spins drives up when needed, and then back down, though whether that's for vibration impact, I don't know (their cold storage use [0]).

> graphomania (I don't know if it is customary to call bad books by this name in English, but we usually use this word)

Great word! And as someone who knows a bit about English literature, I've never heard it before.

It's a common trope about widely respected, intellectual works, 'nobody really likes them'. (The following is not about you; I don't know you at all, of course:) Frankly, I think people can find them difficult, naturally, and an anti-intellectual response is an easy cover story that they know will be socially accepted. Lots of people like these works, including Dr Zhivago and Maria Stepanova. As I've grown older I've learned that if I don't like it then usually there's something I'm missing, which an opportunity for me to learn. As I've grown more sophisticated, I've learned why they are so admired - I just lacked the background to grasp it before. Certainly, reading these works in school was often impractical. Now, I'm sorry I don't have the time to read them all.
> Apple contends that '[n]o reasonable consumer would believe' that purchased content would remain on the iTunes platform indefinitely

By this definition, any online locked down device (not just the software on it) can only be licensed or rented. Why should any online platform be treated differently from iTunes?
Oh, oh, I can answer this, given ownership of a ten year old Leaf ($35K) and a fifteen year old Scion xB/rebadged Toyota Echo ($20K): the $20K car is still going to win in TCO. Because the Leaf already starts out $15K in the hole. That's a lot of oil and coolant changes. That's a lot of brake pads. And those are pretty much the three things an ICE needs done versus BEV. After 100K miles, the Scion needed a $1500 clutch job. After 50K miles, the Leaf needs a new $5K battery pack (it'll last a few more years, but it's coming).

The Leaf still needs tires. It still needed the 12V accessory battery changed out. It still needs a cabin air filter changed once in a while. The Leaf has been reliable, nearly maintenance-free, and pretty appliance-like. But the Scion is a close second. We'll probably never buy an ICE again, that's how much we've like the Leaf and BEV in general. But "out of touch" doesn't even begin to describe someone arguing that those willing to spend $20K should spent twice as much because "TCO".

I went from a Bolt to now having an ID4. So far it seems to fall in the VW but electric category (although this is my first VW, so take that with a grain of salt). Major things I prefer over the bolt: nicer (in my opinion) interior, more interior space, travel assist is pretty awesome, slightly longer range, and higher fast charging rate. The higher fast charging rate is what's making it more viable for us to take that instead of my wife's gas car for trips, since charging stops don't need to be as long.
But Tesla's cars are exactly this - they are largely gas sedans that look normal and are electric.

People don't want some dorky looking electric car like Volkswagen's or BMW's. They want a normal car that's electric.
