I second this.

I applied it to this[1] super long winded article in New Yorker to get the gist of the article. This article is littered with these passages and it's super frustrating. In the end from my view point it's a shallow piece with very little new insights. FWIW the article didn't age well as India is being ravaged by the 2nd wave.

It's much easier in syncthing, you don't have to remember to commit/push etc. Works really well as long as you don't change the repos too often so index conflicts don't happen (but even if they do, worst case you just lose index state)
I have only anecdotal evidence. My brother got Covid and after he recovered he would black out from walking briskly up a single flight of stairs from sudden lack of oxygen (O2 meter on his finger showed this as well). He was otherwise fine and could breathe easily, it just didn't oxygenate his blood well. He got the vaccine and that symptom just disappeared.

Wikipedia claims "Heat recovery systems typically recover about 60–95% of the heat in exhaust air".

But even recovering 95% of heat isn't exactly great. If you live in Canada and have a 2600 sq ft house with 8 ft ceilings and 10 changes of air per hour, and the indoors is 70F and outdoors is 0F, thats 2600810 cubic feet of air/ per hour, or 12000 BTU/hr. That means you are more than doubling your heating costs compared to sealing the building and just having conductive losses through the walls.

This is true for most climates - even the best energy recovery systems still double heating/cooling costs compared to having barely any fresh air.

No, xdg-utils are absolutely terrible. They're a mess of untested, undebuggable, underdocumented and extremely user unfriendly shell scripts that need to die and be replaced with something that actually had some serious design thought put into it.

I've once had xdg-open be absolutely broken on my machine, scanning all of my $HOME because of a file with a space character in it [1]. Any attempt to use xdg-open would pin a CPU core for 100% while bash/find recursively traversed millions of files because of missing quote characters in a shell script. Truly the pinnacle of software engineering.

I wouldn't be surprised if serious security bugs lurked somewhere in it, exploitable by web pages attempting to open maliciously crafted protocol URLs.

Was just going to say: I have only experienced one thing that branded itself opionionated, which was a CSS (reset) file.

So many unexpected behaviours that were really hard to diagnose.

I am now very wary of things calling themselves opinionated.

Though, simultaneously, where does being 'opinionated' start?

Like, we are all building on top of other things, where, inevitably, certain decisions have been made for us. You have to decide whether you can live with those decisions (people say Go, as a language, is quite opinionated), or whether you are going to fork the language and make your own, hehe
Sure, I don't disagree. But in many cases the value of the data lost even over a short period can dwarf the size of a ransom, as can losses from downtime before getting operations up and running again. Can you imagine if they managed to take down e.g. S3, even for a day? The incentive to pay would be high, which in turn increases its attractiveness as a target. Not saying they would pay of course.

The idea that a carbon tax is ineffective -- possibly because it has to be slow/gradual?? -- just seems nonsensical.

People are threatening to move to different states constantly when politicians want to institute a 5-cent plastic bag tax.

Taxes work.

A carbon tax is prob the only realistic way to not mass suicide.

Also the part about the 'we want a mostly GOP solution'. Is that because he's a GOP? Or what does that even mean?

So basically a bunch of non technical opinion about Elon Musk and your partly nonsensical interpretations of his actions? Color me unconvinced.

Las Vegas is literally a first of a kind minimal application. Self-Driving is still planned.

> If he can't even do the Vegas Loop properly then how is he going to build something more complicated than that?

So when Falcon 1 failed were you like 'They can't even do Falcon 1 probably how can they do Starship'. This is just a terrible argument. The question is not if the first of its kind minimal test is perfect but rather if the overall idea and concept holds up.

I have yet to see any actual sensible analysis of why it doesn't that is not based on a totally flawed understanding of the actual design.

Continuously moving public transport based on mass produced electric drive train threw slim tunnels is sensible and cost effective.

> He said the Hyperloop will have air cushion suspension and then "downgrades" it to ... wheels?

You said it yourself. A loop is not a hyperloop. A hyperloop is a connection between two high density areas over a long distance. A loop is for within one city or maybe region and was literally always designed to be used with cheap mass produced electric drive trains.

> All he did is create a sales pitch. He's not going to build the hyperloop he promised, the same way he is not going to create the Vegas loop in the way he promised.

He created a sales pitch and then didn't sell anything? So what makes it a sales pitch? He quite literally said he was gone release a technical blue paper of something he found interesting and did as a personal hobby and that's all he was gone do. And that exactly what he did.

Do you get mad at any company that releases a blue paper without a product?

You are just making up your own version of the story. He literally never promised a hyperloop. Please find me one bit of evidence that Musk ever actually promised anything to anybody. In fact, literally the opposite is true. He said 'I don't have time for this', he literally anti-promised it but somehow because people prefer to read media reports 5x removed missed this point.

It was many years later when he started the Boring company with a different goal of solving a totally different problem.

> Well, that is sad because those companies were actually building Hyperloops. If they are scam companies, then the concept is essentially a scam and Elon Musk avoids being associated with the scam by never building one.

No they were not, please actually compare their concepts to Musk Hyperloop paper. Technically they are quite different and often do things specifically pointed out in Musk paper as things that he considers not viable. They were just people trying to get investment by associating their ideas with Musk because of his popularity. You hardly blame Musk for being popular and people trying to do that sort of thing.

Its exactly because of people like you who say things like 'Musk promised Hyperloop' or associate literally any company that uses the term 'Hyperloop' and associate them with Musk.

It appears to just detect the presence of an installed scheme handler, not the application itself. This does tell you that the application was at one point installed and the uninstaller for it lies and doesn't completely uninstall, but none of the applications it thinks I have are applications I still have (just Spotify and Skype, but still).

Good to know who the offenders are, Spotify and Skype. Everything else I uninstalled was actually uninstalled.
Doubt it - these sorts of companies are very keen on people who are known to be susceptible.
Thanks, but I don’t think that’s actually accurate. AIUI, J&J grow their adenovirus vector using the cell line PERC.C6.

This is a super emotional topic for a lot of people, so it doesn’t really make a difference for them that there are no PERC.C6 cells in the actual vaccine, or that the cell line is from the 80s, or any of that. I can at least understand this hesitancy, unlike the misinformation-fueled notion that the mRNA vaccines will change your DNA or something.

Hey all, Elder.js author and maintainer.

Elder's main "opinionated-ness" comes from the fact that we're going to put SEO decisions above all others.

This includes doing things such as:

* partial hydration

* no client-side routing wiz-bang

* 0kb JS if there are no hydrated components

* and several other tradeoffs.

It was also built as an SSG first and it is really good at building very large sites (faster than Hugo). [0]

Happy to answer any questions. Here is an overview of the "whys" behind many of the uncommon decisions Elder.js made. [1]

Edit: format/add links
In case anyone’s an SQL Server user and you have a regular app query suddenly timing out every so often on a large table which otherwise takes 10ms, you’ll probably be experiencing the statistic updates penalty.

When MSSQL decides it wants to recheck statistics for a regularly performed query, it picks the Nth “lucky” execution of your otherwise fast query to instead now update table
/index statistics.

To observers, this query is suddenly super slow and may even time out. Very confusing.

A workaround is to enable “async statistics update”, this won’t reoccur.
Another fun one (and an easter egg):

fn main() { break rust; }

This breaks rust =)

The key part of your statement is "when feeling ill". They don't just wear them all the time though it may seem like that to outsiders (they tend to take "feeling ill" in the lightest respect possible).
It can be used as an enum and might be more convenient in places where you don't need to bother converting between string data outside the system and enum data types.

It also plays nicely with union types, so that you can very quickly define as hoc enums directly in your function declarations, which might be useful if there's only one or two usages of a particular enum, or a section of code where the allowable values very quickly changes.

You basically get a lot of expressiveness without boilerplate, which can be pretty convenient.

Cross organizational communication, e.g. across ministries (like France realized it with 60 Matrix servers), across different offices of companies, across multiple companies, across universities (which was e.g. important for TU Dresden).

In principle it is the same with Email.

> What other use could there be?

> I'd want a software that does one thing well because to this day there isn't even a chat solution that rules all the others.

Matrix is a protocol, not a software. Specifically it is a communication protocol. So anyone can create software that needs communication which benefits from properties that Matrix provides, can use it independently of the software you are using to chat.

Wow this a such a deep & expansive topic! The issue of wrong vs right and judgment is a an area that impacts all of us! I would ask you to consider that when you believe you are right about something, is about being heard? Accepted? Acknowledged? Seen, respected?

I have absolute trust in GvR's decisions in many areas, particularly about language design and teaching programming. But I don't see that he has any special insights into VM performance, let alone the low-level intricacies JIT design.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread he really has egg on his face after denying Python's performance problems for so many years. I would have more respect if he had taken a firm stance that keeping CPython's interpreter simple had pedagogical value, but instead he (and other core devs) repeatedly argued that Python did not have a performance problem, and that's why it was OK to keep it simple. It took until major pref regressions early in the Python 3 lifecycle to break out of this mindset.

I would argue that it seems quite likely that Lagrangian mechanics is more fundamental, in some sense, than any other classical formulation.
