Certainly a lot less environmental studies needed for a DC fast charger than burying a tank full of toxic liquid. Depending on the jurisdiction getting a large enough grid connection can take some time.

EA's rate of installation is really impressive. Their stability is getting a lot better too. Curious to see what happens when the dieselgate money runs out though. How much of their operations are self sustaining and how much is relying on the VW fines? Hard to tell from the outside. The roughly similar organization in Europe is Ionity and they charge an astonishing amount for charging, so I'm curious if the prices have to jump a couple years down the road.
I've been using a dongle I found on Amazon in 2017 with the description "Plugable USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter" [1]

Unfortunately, I don't remember if I've installed or adjusted anything on the OS.

One moderately annoying caveat is that I have to open the Settings / Sound panel every time I turn on the headphones, and while the Output Device is always automatically set to the headset, I have to explicitly set the Input Device to the headset as well. When I do I get an alert sound and a quickly cut-off moment (like the "Ca-" of "Call") in the bose-lady voice, as if something went wrong, but then it works correctly.

I imagine this can all be automated somehow, but I haven't had the time to figure out how and it's not _that_ big of a deal to go through the motions.

I was on the bus on time, a cute family was ahead of me, speaking some incomprehensible babble. "I wonder what part of scandinavia they're from", thought I. Then the father turns to me and asks some pleasantry with his british accent. I think those types recognize the degree to which they're dialect can't be broadly understood, and tune it appropriately. Perhaps americans are less aware of the need because accents are locally much more homogeneous.
Laugh, but talking with Japanese, something that often happens is:

A: "Shouldn't I launch the nukes?"

B: "No."

Can be understood as "yes, do it" because they are used to an opposite logic when answering negation. "Yes" means "I agree with the negation" and no the opposite.

And they seem to have a hard time accepting that the logic is different in English.

The usual answer when this things happens in standards committees is those companies who aren't ready to ship product yet. If they can stall the official release of the standard, then it gives them time to catch up. Of course, other companies can release hardware on the not-quite-released standard. There were v.90 modems that were pre-standardization for at least 2-3 years. All this does is harm the consumer at that point, since it impacts interoperability; making companies wait to ship products that they have working because of one laggard is just not fair.

GCC has this feature too.

If you want to specify your supported browsers and utilize transpiling (babel), maybe do some image minification (svgo), compile using the latest sass module features (dart sass), create separate script bundles for required/deferred JS with revision hashes (rev), dynamically generate test/demo HTML files and test them (backstopjs) ... I can't imagine there is a system out there that can handle even half of those things so easily. I always assumed I would need to tell the system what to do.

If you do decide to go looking around at Gulp again, for myself after reading a few articles on Gulp setups I googled for "github gulpfile.js" to see what others had done as well and that helped.
To demonstrate the potential this needs a demo of a "middle-tier" service implemented in NodeJS. The service needs to talk to a MySQL database, and expose a Rest API to the web application.

If that works that means many intranet applications can be server-less. Both the JavaScript app and the "middle-tier" runs in the browser, and the middle-tier talks to MySQL server which is also on the intranet. All you need is a file server to serve the static JS files.

Hey applets could manipulate JavaScript data/the DOM. There is a bit of bark to the 'Java script' bite. It was very slow, though, sending through the JVM process and to the browser process each time you read or wrote a value (and the plugin that did this I think was in its own process - memory is hazy there).

Overall it's hard to say how Sun could have won here, perhaps acquiring macromedia and using Flash technology to make a browser that ran those cool portals out of the box, and hey scripted first-class in Java too btw ;-)

A properly fit N95 should block out all dust. If you are getting plaster in your nose, try different types of masks (folding), or a half-face respirator.

One of the justification for not advising N95s to the public was the fact that most people don't know how to properly wear one. As if they couldn't be trained in a few weeks, or duration of the pandemic.

Also, N95s filter out particles smaller than .3 microns (the 95% part). You can look it up, but it has something to do with the electrostatic media and physics. It definitely does not work like a sieve. (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/11/fac...)
> the standard allows us to treat "for (int i=param; i < param + 16; i++)" as if it were guaranteed to loop 16 times in all cases.

The standard allows this, but the standard also allows iterating less than 16 times, or turning it into an infinite loop, or doing things that a programmer can’t actually do intentionally inside the language’s rules. Undefined means “nothing is defined.” It doesn’t mean “nothing is defined, but in an intuitive way.”

Hate to thread jump--but I just Posted this vid in a thread I started. Titled: Does your self-driving car understand Walter's footwork

Extremely High speed precision driving is possible Only because of footwork. Walter is just UnFrickenBelievable: Left foot braking. Heel and Toeing. And playing the Throttle to both catch slides And create them to--rotate the car into the corners.

PS: In the silicon valley vid the Tesla is in the middle of its lane most of the time. That makes zero sense.

Also it passed by that U-haul truck which was at a 45 degree angle pointing right at it. The smart move would have been to get into the left lane and thereby making it impossible to be hit by either the U-haul Or another vehicle in front of the U-haul which would have been hidden from view.

I don't understand this myth about Florida. It has fared very badly in the pandemic. You're three times as likely to have died in Florida from COVID, as opposed to in Canada. It sits in the middle of the States, in terms of death rates, which overall have been among the worst in the world. Compare your example to an area where people really take masking serious, such as Hong Kong, and then maybe you'll have a valid comparison.

Same here. First of all that reliance on people giving you access to their accounts is super sketchy in my opinion. I used Mint for a long time until I realized how insane it is for them to be able to access my bank and investment accounts.

Good for them if they find people paying for their service but same as you, I don't see how this can't be solved with a spreadsheet.

I find services like these bothersome for a different reason. A major selling point is catering to people that have difficulty getting the cash together to front a utility bill or rent. For every app that exploits people's inability to manage their finances I wish we'd see an app that teaches financial literacy and responsibility.
> acting like Hamas and Israel are equally bad

I didn't say that (and I don't think that).

Also, there's a difference between the people in Israel and the state. Most people don't do bad things; the government in Israel sometimes does. So just saying "Israel" is confusing, makes it seem as if you don't see a difference between the gov and the people. A government often does things that are bad for the voters.

Anyway I'm not sure it's helpful to compare "who is worst". It's not as if beating someone a bit, gets less bad, just because a different person beats another one even more.

> One side cares about preventing civilian casualties, the other does not. It's like comparing Isis and the US military. Very different approach and rules of engagement.

Agreed that Hamas doesn't care, instead, directly attacks civilians.

I think most, almost all, people in IDF do care -- that they don't want to hurt civilians.

At the same time, if you look back a few years, 2018, you'll notice that individuals in IDF shot a thousand people in Gaza, most of them unarmed. Killing about a hundered.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_Gaza_border_...

> an independent United Nations commission set the number of known militants killed at 29 out of the 183.[4] Other sources claim a higher figure, of at least 40

To me this shows that there are some people in IDF, who do enjoy killing Palestinians.

Maybe almost all of those in IDF don't want to hurt civilians, but those few who do want, get to do that quite a lot, sometimes, no consequences for them it seems.

> as guilty as the Germans were for Hitler and the Nazis

In the Israel-Palestine, there was an ongoing conflict when Hamas got the power -- and massacres had been done already by individuals from both sides. So it seems like a poor comparison, to me.

It's odd that you write about one side that it "cares about preventing civilian casualties" -- when individuals from that side, did what to me looks like a massacre a few years ago (2018), and now continues bombing although they know how many civilians get killed. And then you go on compare the other side with nazi voters.

It seems to me your world view is more black and white, than what you're aware about? And probably I'm not going to reply any further here.

I'd just like to say, to anyone in IDF reading this, that I think it's wrong by Hamas (or anyone else) to attack people in IDF. I don't think people are "legitimate targets" just because they're in the army -- they're still people, and most of them (although not exactly all) never did anything bad. I'd like to give a hug to you in IDF who didn't do anything bad personally (that's almost all of you), and to the civilians in Israel and Gaza.

You can not rely on metrics. A letter of recommendation from someone you have never met is just another metric. You keep thinking of this from the top down perspective. India might have such scale that perhaps nothing else is possible. But the more scarce the resources are, the more important that they are used properly.

By 3rd grade you would be filtered into the best class in your city. By the 9th grade you would be filtered into the top province level school. By college, you would be filtered into the position that you already earned. In America we call this system the magnet schools. All I am suggesting is to make this more fluid, and with digital schools coming to be as a result of CO-VID, is the perfect time to experiment with such a system.

More importantly than attempting to fix the Indian education system is what can you do to help against metricification. Do not rely on others scores. If you are hiring and get a resume from someone who did not go to a prestigious school, do not throw it away without looking. People are more than a number. The best often do not look like the best.
Actually, there's a even worse version:

struct foo { ...; bar_t bar[NBAR]; };
struct foo* p = ...;
bar_t* q = &p->bar[0]; // add rq, rp, #foo_bar_offs
// other declarations

if(!p) return NOPE; // optimized out
// use p and q

Not even any dereferencing, just pointer arithmetic.

Not really, no.

For starters, we're talking about Eastern Oregon, so if you wanted to throw a gotcha, you should have gone for the Paiute.

America is a nation, and it took its time getting to Oregon. The Chinook were never particularly numerous, nor influential on the values of that nation. That's just a fact.

The Iroquois League was more influential, the Founding Fathers were very impressed with their system of governance, though how much of that made it into the Constitution is a matter of debate. Painting with a broad brush, centuries of contact with the native peoples of this continent has certainly left its mark. The Western ethos of self-reliance and freedom owes a lot to them.

The Native American people are both their own nations and a part of the American nation. Speaking as one American, I'm inclined to value their contributions, but it seems a bit presumptuous for me to say that Apache or Navajo values are American values.

To continue down the road you've set us upon, the American descendants of slavery went unheard for many years, but starting no later than Frederick Douglass became a key part of shaping the ethos and values of the nation. They insisted that "all men are created equal" meant all men, and put an end to white supremacy, which was certainly an American value and just as surely is no longer such.
it's not a scandal, we were invited to beta hon under the explicit expectation that it was dota remade on a modern engine - and that's what we wanted as wc3 and bnet were awfully dilapidated by then. it's more than a reskinning it brought modern match making and stats and nice community features, etc. and I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers but I recall bnet becoming a ghost town once hon started to get popular not to mention the quality of the matches. from what I can tell hon had decent run - won plenty of awards, made plenty of money, it's not league of legends but nothing is even close to that. and apparently there are people still playing hon - they just released a client for M1 a few months ago.

> In current compilers, the existence of undefined behavior anywhere in your program is an excuse to do anything that the compiler wants to with all of the rest of your program. Even if the undefined behavior is never executed.

This is…complicated. Let's say you have an array of ten numbers, and then you take user input and use that to index into the array. This program is well-formed…as long as the user never inputs a number beyond ten. If they do, then the program is invalid. In general, the presence of undefined behavior is an attribute of the running program, not the source code itself. If there exists any execution where only defined behavior, the compiler may not deviate from the standard. However, what you probably meant is behavior in the face of the existence of runtime undefined behavior, in which case you are correct that a compiler could write clairvoyant code that refuses to execute the first instruction if it knows that UB will happen at some point in the program.
It was an interesting distinction IMO, because if you think about it a lot of confusion comes when people think about gravity as a discrete thing that actually exists, when in fact gravity is merely a description of the effects that come with spacetime curvature.

> most compilers provide a choice (-fwrapv, -fno-strict-aliasing, ...). Yet few projects use these options,

Even if you opt into those (and the projects I've been involved with have), the precedent is established: when new compiler optimizations are introduced with disruptive semantics, they are opt-out, not opt-in — a fail-dangerous failure mode.

> Doesn't that indicate that C programmers indeed want to sacrifice safety for optimizations?

Maybe so. Which is one reason I wouldn't call myself a "C programmer" any more. The demands to program responsibly in C are absurdly high.
Vaccines, cancer treatements, anesthetics, and so on. Could some or many of these have been discovered without the use of animals in research? Perhaps--but hindsight is what it is, and I'd rather do research on animals with known and well-trod methodologies to discover these now in parallel with developing new techniques to make these discoveries without the use of animal models; not eschew the models until we have alternate methods.
