We are trying our best to move away from docker for mac for a couple of reasons:

1) Years of CPU/Battery hogging (https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3499) After the fix, this seems to regress every few releases (https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5567)

2) Docker for Mac has made the user hostile decision to force updates unless a user opts for a paid plan. Due to this decision, and a bug with 3.3.x (https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/5572) which indicates a 500 error under unusual circumstances, downgrading and staying at 3.2.x on a free plan is not possible. I believe this issue runs even deeper, because proxies I've used for years are returning an errant EOF on a configuration that works fine on 3.2.x.

I don't have enough time to wrestle with these tools, and even with docker-compose our local environments aren't very close to production because of the lack of kubernetes orchestration (admittedly have not tried much through docker for mac, but I'm surprised there isn't a closer-to-metal solution). I currently maintain a number of proxy configurations to make our local setup work, and if I'm going to move to a paid tool, I want to make sure its the right fit.

EDIT:

This sounded more unappreciative than I meant it to. I think the docker for mac team are doing an awesome job and that it's a hard product to create and maintain. I appreciate that they are attempting to monetize it and do think it's something we should pay for. I just don't like the way they chose to implement their monetization.
This guy was so smart he could observe a physical phenomena and then quickly derive the equation that underlies is. damn
Then make it non-DRM downloadable content that will be playable forever at the discretion of the consumer, like music bought on iTunes, then. Or at least mention the period for when the licensing will be honored during “purchase” and stick to it.

Honestly I don’t understand anyone having any sympathy for publishers or Apple. They were the ones who chose to use the current method.
I mostly agree with Noam Chomsky’s analysis and comparison.
I think that for shorter distances, like LA to SF to Seattle that would be great. But I don't think any of the rail lines in China are comparable to going from Chicago to Seattle - that is a huge distance to build a high speed rail line on, and there is almost nothing in between that people would want to stop at.
> Even purely in code, you always have the choice of implementing a solution yourself or finding the work of someone else, packaged into a library, which solves the problem for you.

In my experience, this isn't remotely true, especially if you're constrained to use a particular language and don't want to pay the overhead of wrapping another language
Interesting to know that what the article recommends is indeed the industry standard. I'd forgotten about hoisting until you brought it up!

I found this discussion about open-endedness being very illuminating about doing stuff that are just fun. A revolt against objectives.

Beyond the legality aspect of using the words "buy" or "purchase" is the moral one. Blocking access to content to a customer you got money from is immoral. To a certain point it's the exact opposite of piracy. If it's legal, it should be made illegal.

Also, these corporations claim their TOS allow them to deny access if they choose to, and might even have done it for legitimate reasons. But nothing is preventing them to implement restrictions on accounts rather than total deactivation.
Then they should advertise it as a one time download or a limited time rental. I don't have an issue with that.

But they shouldn't advertise "store your purchased movies in the cloud for free" when they only do that as long as it is convenient for them.
Being very popular does not mean that you are not subject to laws.

It is unquestionable at this point that a very large number of rules have been broken.

Just on the securities fraud: Musk has committed securities fraud multiple times and has been let off the hook (if anyone else did the 420 thing, they would have been barred for life for being a public company CEO...it was appalling). The same rules apply to everyone, whether you are a self-aggrandizing billionaire or not.

Multiple consumer law violations. Multiple instances of securities fraud. None of this is legal.

Also, it is possible to raise money without lying. Musk didn't raise money on the basis of these lies. He raised money initially with no claims about FSD. And the money he has subsequently got came from China.
This means PV can be installed with some level of sloppiness and inattention to detail that would be ruinous on a large integrated power plant, like a nuclear power plant. I bet this also reduces labor costs by reducing the level of training and expertise required.
I assume you are talking about having your own cabin/sleeper?
Both are issues. In most states the property tax applies to all physical assets of the business. So they have to pay taxes on all their furniture, manufacturing equipment, computers, and yes any inventory they have sitting around.
i was thinking about the big commercial airplanes.

it’s probably true that airplanes were also ambitious at first, but the difference is that flying (paradoxically) is way way more forgiving than driving. Also, in flying you have a support system that is built to promote safety as everyone understands that mistakes == death when they happen. When was the last time you thought about the fact that you might die when getting into a car?
This is one of the big arguments for light rail over buses. Once it's built, development can take place along the route with fairly high confidence that it will run, albeit perhaps on a reduced schedule, even if ridership doesn't meet projections.
I wouldn’t trust any driving automation to handle a situation that I couldn’t handle manually, especially if it relies only on sensors equivalent to what I see.

These automations are extremely useful to relieve long and easy drives. Not to handle difficult conditions better than a concentrated driver.
The whole point of an index fund is to make those details irrelevant. One is putting trust in the individuals deciding what goes in the index to select quality securities, not vetting each individual one in the index.

I think the "page 60" part is just a mistake by the author. The text they're quoting is on page 39, just above footnote 60.

> I bought a dorm room, yet I lose access.

For assets in the physical world, the provider can have legitimate reasons for not refunding you the lost access that you originally paid for, on the scale of a month or a semester, due to the difficulty of them finding a replacement buyer/renter of that asset for the remaining duration. Something "seasonal" like school enrolment is a perfect example of that.

For digital assets, though, the period that you wouldn't expect to be refunded for should be measured in nanoseconds.

The other huge difference of course is that people don't buy perpetual access to a dorm room, whereas they believe they do for digital goods. "Forever minus ten nanoseconds" is very similar to "forever", so the refund should be close to 100%.
A netflix subscription is access to content, not a purchase of content.
Thank you for sharing Vernon Bognador's lecture, it is very good. Irrelevant to my point, but very good.
If you pay a man a salary for doing research, he and you will want to have something
to point to at the end of the year to show that the money has not been wasted.

In
promising work of the highest class, however, results do not come in this regular
fashion, in fact years may pass without any tangible result being obtained, and the
position of the paid worker would be very embarrassing and he would naturally take to
work on a lower, or at any rate a different plane where he could be sure of getting
year by year tangible results which would justify his salary.

The position is this:
You want one kind of research, but, if you pay a man to do it, it will drive him to
research of a different kind. The only thing to do is to pay him for doing something
else and give him enough leisure to do research for the love of it.

So your claim is any driverless system that needs training or data gathering by a driver can never achieve level 5?

Facebook captured not just internet powerusers, but an entirely new (and eventually, a substantially larger) audience. I would very much doubt there's a larger audience currently offline out there today.
This project actually uses Yosys. From a quick glance at the code, this tool essentially uses Yosys for the heavy-duty logic stuff [1], resulting in a JSON-based logic definition using a couple of standard cells (DFF, MUX, arithmetic, etc.) that verilog2factorio parses [2] and translates into predefined Factorio blueprints. The only part that I couldn't find would be laying out the cells into the overall blueprint (and performing routing).

I'm 43 and have been coding in some capacity for nearly 30 years now. I've had a few times where I got tired of coding and usually what I realized is that the type of coding I did at work wasn't that interesting, or else the work itself consisted too much of some big-co. bureaucratic nonsense that made it not fun. In those moments is usually when I start playing around with side projects.

I'd recommend starting up a low pressure project on the side. Figure out what made coding fun for you and focus on that in your project. It can be hard to get started, so you want to make sure it's fun and not full of too much boring stuff. What I mean by the latter is that there are certain aspects of coding that you do for work that are necessarily boring, at least for me. For instance, writing unit tests, or making clean commits, etc. I used to find those elements fun in my side projects but over time I realized that I "learned" them enough and that doing them made the side projects less fun. Instead, I now throw caution to the wind when doing stuff on the side. If something isn't interesting, I don't do it, or I try to limit the amount of boring stuff.

It helps to have low expectations and just engage in things for fun. Over time, you can really build up something nice if you work on it consistently. Just don't focus on the end goal too much or how much you're progressing because that's when it starts feeling like "work".

Level 5 self-driving will never be delivered on models that Tesla delivers now.

Their cars are attractive but they will lack the hardware for level 5 when it comes, and anyway will most likely be past their end-of-life then.
Selling software should be illegal?
Elon Musk is a market-manipulating crook. The SEC is too neutered to deal with him, so he's roaming free shilling shlock and causing gullible consumer investors to go broke. It goes beyond inflating his own fortunes. it's sadistic -- he likes to light random things on fire (DOGE???) and watch them burn.
The uni system couldn't afford to give tenured professors freedom to follow their fancy without the "underclass" working hard to make it possible in the first place — graduate students and untenured staff do the high-volume work needed to make profits: churning out tens of thousands of undergrads per year, paid for by fed-backed loans, and definitely not all of them taught by Feynman-type professors.

I don't know if that's true, that's just my model of how American university works.

I feel like the assertation that meteor impact ejecta would 'almost certainly' contain live bacteria spores and the implication that those spores would survive vacuum , radiation, heat cycling, and dessication for the very long trip from earth to mars is going to need a big old citation required here. That seems like a stretch.
They'd need to do something about the hour-long stop at the border for CBP and its Canadian equivalent to go through the train checking everyone's passports. Decades ago I ran into it on the now-defunct Chicago-Toronto line and I'm pretty sure it's why they don't run those trains anymore. The New York-Toronto and New York-Montreal trains still do it.

Seattle-Vancouver avoids it by not making any stops between Vancouver and the border, so the immigration checks take place at the station. This might be feasible for Montreal, probably not for Toronto, and a train that runs from Buffalo to Detroit without stopping in Canada at all seems implausible.

>Where is this 1/4 factor coming?

Guesswork... 40khz ultrasound has a wavelength of about 8mm. If your phase from end to end isn't at least 90 degrees, you don't have enough shift to form a beam with. I would imagine if you're clever, and your transducers don't drop off to fast on the sides, and you've got them fairly tightly constrained in X,Y,Z to a regular grid, you might be able to tweak out more resolution slightly off center, because the return phases will more quickly diverge as this angle increases.
Do you have any evidence Tesla could do this in Phoenix? I think that is highly unlikely and at this stage might not be possible without lidar.
Did that a couple of years ago to go from Glasgow to London. Almost exactly the journey times you mention. Bought a ticket the same day as I travelled. It wasn't cheap, but was cheaper than same-day flight tickets. No airport stress, and ended up back in the middle of London, not at some ex-urban or suburban airport with another 35-60 minute journey into town.
Dirac was purpotedly very on-point
The difference is the delivery medium. It has always been in the interest of producers for individual recordings to seem louder relative to other recordings in the same genre, and that is still true today. However, a level matched experience is better for the consumer, so apps like Spotify apply perceptual loudness metrics and turn down maxed recordings.

That kind of level matching didn't happen with consumer CD players or vinyl turntables. Producers have to use different techniques to stand out in an automatically level-matched environment.
Your example wouldn't fall under, because the decision is not applied to humans, only to the products - i.e. there's no "credit scoring customers" and thus impacting their ability to buy those items, only decision on whether or not to have them in locked boxes.
Just do it all yourself then? It doesn’t seem unreasonable that the creators of this want to make a little money off of something that almost certainly took a lot of their time. If the markup is too high you’re welcome to assemble your own.

R&D cost is built in to everything you buy, otherwise the companies that make this stuff wouldn’t be profitable. The amount of per unit R&D markup for, say, a thermometer just isn’t as high due to its relatively low complexity and huge number of units sold. This thing is niche and not going to sell that many units.

One of the (many) problems with Amtrak is that they pretend they're an airline. Booking well in advance is the only way to get a good rate, "walk up" prices are pretty high. I mostly have experience with the Northeast Corridor, and this is the baseline level of service that we need nationwide. I've been on some of the other routes, and the quality of the service on those lines pales in comparison.

That said, the route from NYC to Montreal is really beautiful north of Albany. It just takes about ten hours to get there.
That's a false dichotomy, but I'll offer this for an answer:

"Yes, it should be reserved for those with high status, and high status should be reserved for people who are chosen by and accountable to the people over whom they have power."
Even if you imagine cities with great mass transit, a ton of places that people go to are not cities and pretty much require personal transportation and this is hardly limited to the US.

>Most high speed rail lines are just upgrades to existing lines.
We already have these rights of way settled. That is all the more reason that should not be abandoned.

Most of that is used for freight as well. You can't realistically use the same rails for freight and high speed rail. So if we want high speed rail it will have to be entirely new tracks in a new right of way.

The plastik part seems to be the resonator replacing it with a soft material that absorbs sound would be the easiest step.

However it might be better to disconect the speaker which should save lots of energy the peeper would consume otherwise.

I don't think apple checks for the speeker to be connected if the speaker breaks for example it would make the tag unusable resulting in more warrenty complains.

I recommend following the FSD beta drivers on YouTube. If you’ve at all been following the progress, I think you’d be impressed what is already possible. I’ve see no major corner cases that require hardware changes yet. It’s all software now.
I don’t know what your beef is, but what you say it’s not true for France, Germany, Italy, and likely tons more. All these constitutions state explicitly that sovereignty belongs to the people. Even in UK, where Parliament is now sovereign by way of forcing its primacy over the Crown, there are plenty of arguments about this (as recently rehashed), and the question is technically not settled.
I agree. There will always be an attacker who knows more or who used methods that you would not choose.

It's inevitable that some things will leak. Defense in depth will help mitigate the risk and contain the fallout.

Yeah, on further research I think you're right. I jumped the gun a little here.
Exactly. If bitcoin mining drives demand for solar, leads to solar production jobs in the US and increases R&D leading to more efficient panels - awesome. But if companies start to go public based on the premise of mining bitcoin at the cheapest possible price - I doubt they'll invest in Solar/wind/geo[0].

The idea was to copy slices model from memory safe languages, naturally being C++ with C's influence regarding performance trumps safety, string_view couldn't be made to be as safe as the idea they were copying from.

Another example is span, while C#'s Span and Microsoft's gsl::span do bounds checking, ISO C++17 span naturally leaves it to the developer's responsibility.

Indeed. And the model makes this very clear too. On Netflix there is a button 'watch', while on iTunes and many others, the button says 'buy', 'purcase' etc. One implies a transaction, the other implies using already accessible content.
