>One of the great benefits of a train network is that you're not amongst the car traffic, so you don't suffer congestion.

Many brand new American train networks run at grade with car traffic, so even aboard the train you can't escape. For example, it takes 15 minutes aboard the expo line in Los Angeles to go between USC and downtown LA. The distance is 2 miles; you could out run the train if you ran directly on the track and didn't have to stop at red lights like the train does. Most new transit construction in the US seems to be this half measure LRT that has many at grade crossings with cars, and is rarely given signal priority (there should be no reason for an at grade train to stop at an intersection at all).

Why is that a problem? I'd figure that a short jump is basically free since the target is likely to be in the instruction cache? Is it an issue of readahead/speculation through multiple jumps?

> the atrocious voice acting means that while we loved the gameplay and story, we did not care about the characters at all.

I think part of the issue for me is that I'm subconsciously holding modern graphics and voice acting up to the standard of a Pixar movie (which I consider to be generally quite good). When a character is badly voiced, it really grates on me. And the "uncanny valley" effect of unrealistic facial animations is an immersion killer for me as well.

When dialogue is text-based, it's my own voice which I am hearing - and is far less likely to be offensive to me. Bad writing (or just too much dialogue) can of course still be an issue.
“How are you supposed to upskill yourself if you’re earning $11 an hour and have no benefits?”

There are many ways to do this. Personally, I purchased a $38 book and thought myself to code. My job at the time was picking up trash at the park for $7 an hour and since I had a child and a wife I knew I had to change our circumstance.

My single mother bought a $19 book on prepping for the USPS test and got a subbing job until she was put on full time. Before that she was putting catalogs in envelopes for $90 every two weeks.

Having low expectations is a horrid form of bigotry as it tricks the target into believing they have no potential or any way to change their reality.

There will always be jobs that require differing levels of skills. To use some euphemism to describe them deflects focus off the reality that low expectations are trapping people. This is true in parenting, coaching, teaching. Why should it be any different with making a better life.

Yeah I think "democracy" means the exact opposite of what you've said there. The people have asked for free speech, not censorship.

And dragging the British East India Company into every argument about India sheds more light into the inadequacy of us Indians to move past it.

I was commenting on the high-level claims of the article, not the specific algorithms the article describes. When you move from the article's example of a DP algorithm to the simple implementation I sketch of the 0-1 knapsack problem, the claim that DP is a kind of divide-and-conquer looks harder to sustain.
Thanks for the clarification. I think we all understood what you meant. A more literal interpretation just reminded me of a tidbit of physics I find very interesting.

I want to respond to this constructively, because you highlighted a useful interface I'd never taken note of previously; maybe we can focus this discussion on a technical level. Meanwhile, if you haven't had a positive response to technical feedback directed to JS engineers about this, I would encourage rereading the comment you wrote. I genuinely hope this is useful feedback, as I very much value insight from other languages and levels of abstraction, and I'd love for you not to get turned off to sharing that insight by a bad response from JS engineers. JavaScript is high level, and it's too easy to get disconnected from all of the work the engine and underlying computer are doing to make a program work in this environment.

---

As I understand the interface, practical use of the EventListener interface boils down to the implementer performing a form of event delegation, where you'd wind up delegating from a single `handleEvent()` method on a class to handle different event types and/or events with different target elements -- as opposed to a single click handler in a simple button click example. I'd love to understand and quantify the benefit of this. If it's a significant improvement, it'd be doubly unfortunate, as many callback-based interfaces in JavaScript APIs and libraries at a higher level don't support such a model.

Assuming there's a strong benefit, I also wonder if there's an opportunity for build-time tooling to rewrite code from ad-hoc callbacks to more efficient delegation along these lines. Tangentially, I also don't know about `Function.prototype.bind` vs wrapping arrow functions in terms of performance; that's also something I'm curious about, as they're often a 1:1 analog.

I'm tempted to test a few of these things out myself, but if you have references, that would be helpful.

Allowing governments to engage in anti-democratic behaviour is not a good look for any company that wants to “serve the public conversation”.
Making a language more expressive at risk of making bugs less obvious is not a good thing. The goal with expressive syntax is to make code easier to read/write, not deceive the developer.

Also C++ does not have a faster runtime than C. C has hardly any run time requirements. Mainly just setting up the stack, compared to C++'s runtime requirements I don't see how anyone could claim the C++ runtime environment is faster.

Anyways, my point is that C and C++ have diverged far enough these days bundling them together is not really productive nor accurate.
You should look up Professor Leonard... he has full lessons all the way from basic algebra through calc 2 and analytic geometry.

Math was always my biggest enemy but I decided to be a stem major.. I’m now going into calc 2 with a 4.0 (not that that matters, but I can’t help but feel good about it when I thought I’d be lucky to even pass) and i never thought that I would find myself saying that math is my favorite class now.. never in a million years.. when I decided that I wanted to pursue a stem major I felt like I was gambling and thought to myself ”how will I ever get through the math” I had never made it past pre algebra and I think I even failed that .

If I can do it then you can too. From my experience it’s all about repetition and working from the ground up, even if you think you have something mastered go through it anyways and once you get to a certain point all of the pieces will fit together. Study as if your life depends on it and you will excel.

The reason I recommend Professor Leonard’s Videos is that I had tried every resource I could find and my professors’ ways of teaching did not work at all for me.. ever since I started following Leonard’s lessons I’ve been acing every exam... I feel that for the most part people who say “I’m bad at math “just never invested enough time or want or focus into learning it... I was that guy... I feel that honing your skills in math is completely worth it because it really exercises your logic and reasoning skills which are incredibly useful in everything we do(mathematics help you to be better at everything...even the things that you would never associate with mathematics) this is why even concepts that people think they will never need to learn or have to use are important..at least that is my opinion.

I’m not a fan of muckraking and clickbait in modern journalism, but Facebook’s opaque policies and secrets around news seem more ridiculous the more they get brought up.

Naively (not in practice but in theory), I would think the spirit of news and communication would be letting the readers decide, rather than let an entity (government or corporation) decide for the public.

Facebook is the hand that feeds, and they hold the upper hand in having the ability to leverage news/consumers/publishers in whatever ways they can.

Considering even politicians could be getting their news from Facebook, imagine the potential for subtle manipulation of what certain groups see or don’t see. Show everything positive about Facebook and hide all the negatives. Prevent content from being posted or shared that could hurt Facebook’s business. Shift the blame and make up a technical statement to sell to regulators like “even we, at Facebook, don’t have any control over our policies and there’s a whole magical system of electrons and servers moving your news around behind the curtain of Oz and it’s so complicated it would be impossible to explain.”
> the state operates under the implicit threat of violence

No, despite that hot trope, it's not true and doesn't survive much examination. I have never experienced a threat of violence from the state; that's certainly not why I do anything. In fact, even states run by totalitarian dictatorships require the support of the people. If they lose it, no matter how much violence they use, the state collapses. This isn't theoretical; it's government 101.

I'm not saying that violence isn't used, but my state survives because I support it and the rule of law, like almost everyone.
Pretty sure what you are saying is the opposite of democracy.

Anyway, I've been a vegetarian since not long after seeing that, going on 25 years now. I can understand and sympathise with feeling as you did. I understand but don't sympathise with the way your colleagues left the dirty work to you, very hypocritical of them. I've known a few vegetarians like that, it's more about their personal disgust and hence, comfort, than it is about anyone else's suffering. They're also the most fickle, in my experience, hunger will soon overcome less important emotions, like notions formed as child. They're the ones you'll hear saying “I was vegetarian for years but one day I was famished and all I had available was a burger… never looked back”.

Opindia is a well-known source of right-wing disinformation. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpIndia

> OpIndia is an Indian right-wing news portal founded in 2014 by Rahul Raj and Kumar Kamal. The website has published fake news and anti-Muslim commentary on multiple occasions, including a 2020 incident in which it falsely claimed that a Hindu boy was sacrificed in a Bihar mosque.

> OpIndia is dedicated to criticism of what it considers "liberal media", and to support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Hindutva ideology. According to University of Maryland researchers, OpIndia has shamed journalists it deems opposed to the BJP, and has alleged media bias against Hindus and the BJP. In 2019, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) rejected OpIndia's application to be certified as a fact checker. IFCN-certified fact checkers identified 25 fake news stories and 14 misreported stories published by OpIndia from January 2018 to June 2020.

>It does reduce flexibility when new video formats get released though.

A new video codec is released and adopted once every ten years. So I dont think it would be a problem. Hardware encoding also trade compression quality for speed. And they are compensating it with slightly higher bitrate. It will also reduce their incentives for improving open source encoder.

Although I think even Netflix switched to BEAMR ( Cant really blame them though )

I think the next frontier, for both Audio and Video will be Codec designed with LiveStreaming / Low Latency in mind.

( Or pretty much everything computing, I wish we could focus on latency, from Hardware Input, Display, Network, Disk, etc. Apple is certainly moving in that direction without talking about it. )

> why would you think this?

I don't know, I probably think a lot of things that are wrong. Up until your last post I assumed the waveforms were provided by E Ink themselves. When you mentioned different panels needing different waveforms I assumed you must have meant per unit, not per model of display, because the latter is obvious. If they were unique per individual display that calibration would need to be done in the factory. Did I misunderstand, and you meant per model of display, and not per unit?

Come to think of this, I can verify this right now. Here are the results of `sha256sum /var/lib/uboot/waveform.bin` on two different Remarkable devices of the same model/SKU:

185515bebf37d3e9d99ffa1f13a2804bbb2b64464fa6fc5067475fb6f65ff6b0 /var/lib/uboot/waveform.bin
185515bebf37d3e9d99ffa1f13a2804bbb2b64464fa6fc5067475fb6f65ff6b0 /var/lib/uboot/waveform.bin

You'll have to take my word I didn't copy the same line twice... but as you can see, they're the same. So I don't necessarily think the waveforms are different per unit or batch.

> You say that as if it is unique to E Ink. Whereas its standard across the entire display industry.

Sure. But I was talking about why I bought a Remarkable instead of building an open source e-ink laptop--certainly not a product with volumes high enough to get any manufacturer to pay attention. Obviously I would have the same problem if I were trying to build a regular laptop with an LCD screen (or modern CPU, or WiFi...). For hobbyist projects you're certainly not getting any support from manufacturers. The best one can hope for is open datasheets/manuals and even that is pretty rare...

Thank you! Should you have any question or curiosity, I'm happy to answer :)
I mean... it's charge at rest... so electric and static, but in that same sense, there's static electricity in batteries, and static electricity in DRAM (in-between refresh cycles), and any oscillator at the moment when the first time-derivative of charge reaches zero.

I submit that a definition of static electricity as "charge at rest at non-ground potential" is so broad as to exist in any non-trivial circuit and many trivial circuits. Such a definition is therefore less useful than more common notion as electricity generated as a result of physical surface interactions of dissimilar materials.

Calling it "static electricity" is likely to cause reasonably intelligent and well-educated people to conclude it's related to wearing wool socks in Winter while being insufficiently grounded, as opposed to charge being there as a result of normal circuit operation.
Since Williams defines the very bottom of the race grid, they don't have much to hide in terms of technology. So releasing a 3D model of their car in this form is nothing that would harm the team at this time.
> The irony is that the UML itself becomes more complex than code...

I forgot the law's name but the said law states that "a machine of a certain complexity cannot build a machine more complex than itself". So, a car factory is more complex than a car itself. Similarly a code generator cannot produce something more complex than itself.

This is why you need to merge things of certain complexities to build something more complex.
