Im so proud of my country, in so many ways. France is a nuclear military power, and I think it is one if not the most progressive country of the 5 who have a permanent seat at the UN security council.

I'm quite curious which countries of the EU has a VAT like France.

France also exports the most brainpower in math and tech.
None of the donations Handshake made (136m) are being claimed as donations I made.

The millions I have donated I did both personally and thru a wholly owned company.

As I said before, attacking donations is sending a chilling effect in the FOSS community and to sponsors.
I used to own a pickup. I resolved to never own another one because it resulted in requests to help haul stuff or help someone move at least twice per month.
> give up their world view on why they need to drive bigger, larger automobiles than using environmentally better smaller cars

It would work fine but be less convenient. And if you can afford the luxury than why not.

So... if I leave my house, am I subject to a warrantless search? (The road is government property, after all.)

The answer is no, I'm not (at least in theory; there are so many exceptions that you really are).

Moreover, you're not required to enter "other people's (or govt) property". Kids are required to go to school.

The reality is that students have been shafted by the Supreme Court ignoring what the Constitution says.
I recently had an interview that has 3 sessions back to back. In 2 of them the interviewer didn't turn on the camera - I think that made it easier for me. Instead of looking at person and listening to what he was saying - I was just able to focus on listening to the question.
This is the first time I've heard that CO2 heat pumps might be dangerous. Can you elaborate on why that is?

The government funds the airport, the lights, the runway like at every small village in Alaska that has an airport. It’s because local ‘kids’ broke them all running by on quads with bats for funsies, counting on the feds or state to just replace them time after time - it costs the village nothing until it does.

I think the author of that blog was correct: the preferred path is for the compiler to provide data to the programmer to simplify the loop.

I'm not sure whether most people just care about the 44% cut, but ticketed spaces does sound like a pretty interesting experiment.

I have been a bit skeptical about the whole Clubhouse craze, but this does seem like a reasonable starting point to build a business model around live chat.
In the end, it seems what happened is that christel sparked a huge misunderstanding between freenode staff and Andrew Lee by making misleading statements to both parties and lying to hide the fact that she had sold freenode to get herself out of financial troubles.
I noticed what you describe at work, too: families with kids in school and both parents working had the most difficulties. In places where home internet speeds are marginal for pre-pandemic usage, it was absolutely garbage.
I find it very difficult to believe that an employer that would be happy to fill a certain position at $80k would also be willing to fill that same position at $180k.
One thing I've never understood about this position--why is university such a stark cutoff? Most everyone agrees students shouldn't have to pay for their books in K-12. We agree it's better for our society if primary and second education is not gated by a family's wealth. Not just ethnically, I think it's better for a nation's economic productivity. The whole world is getting more educated, and it does feel like a bachelors or equivalent training is what a high school diploma was 60 years ago.
Most cable providers allocate spectrum to prioritize download. Even the DOCSIS standard is built around that asymmetry. Much depends on the level of over-subscription in a neighborhood.

In my old neighborhood, Comcast appeared to have a relatively low over-subscription ratio. My promised 1000/40 service pretty much always hit exactly that and I was a pretty happy camper.

In my new neighborhood, the Comcast over-subscription ratio is far, far worse. My neighbors complain that realized speeds never approach promised speeds. And I was unable to get service at all (despite all of my neighbors on the same street having service). After a year of tooth-pulling, I got an F-U quote from Comcast at $210,000 to connect my house.

So I banded together with neighbors in the community on a couple of adjacent un-served streets and we trenched and laid fiber. Now I have 10000/10000 service and it's awesome.

Edit: I actually can't measure how close my service is to meeting the promise. I run out of CPU first. That's OK.

Unfortunately, not a lot of people know about the fibre glass disposal scandal of wind farms. And even fewer people will know about batteries.

I did some napkin math with a friend of mine over coffee and we concluded that just by being brough into existence and to the showroom floor a BMW i3 is equivalent from a pollution point of view to my diesel Ford having done 200.000 miles (I'm nowhere near that).

But people buy electric vehicles in droves since they're government subsidized and what not - albeit this is another bait and switch, it's not forever and charging isn't free either, plus quality overall is quite lacking, not to mention the OTA updates and potential data mining coming from these cars being oversized smartphones with wheels.

I dread the moment governments will up and force everybody to give up their old but reliable and not really hardcore polluting cars - a petrol/diesel vehicle doesn't do anything when it's off even if it's been like that for 20-30 years, an electric car may require to be always plugged in, trickle charging to keep the battery fed so in the winter you don't go to your garage and find out your range is actually 1/2 of what was expected. Not to mention nobody actually knows how long electric vehicles really last, whilst it's not uncommon for people having had the same ICE car for 30+ years.

I also would prefer to know salaries (while not minding letting other know mine) but I certainly don't think this should be mandated.

If you live in San Francisco and drive a truck than you might be signaling. But if you own a Tesla you are just blending in.

By contrast, here in Idaho owning a truck is just blending in. Owning a Tesla out here would be signaling.

It is interesting how perspective changes so much based on where you are.

In Oregon I swear 80% of the population owns a Subaru Outback. The other 20% owns a Prius. So owning a Subaru in Oregon is just blending in. It doesn't mean anything. But if you drove that Subaru to San Francisco, now everyone thinks you are "outdoorsy".
George Bush was giving everyone $10k back on new fullsized pickup trucks. Why not get one was my question at the time.
A major benefit of a tiny social structure is that it just cannot be very oppressive AND keep its members. Unhappy? Just join a neighboring structure.

This very option moderates local chiefs appetites.

In the typical small town some local public servants chose to decide who they will take care of, and how, because they feel empowered by the huge central government. You cannot escape, they are your sole way towards your goal.

Is it such a waste to spend it on an eink kindle? Obviously it doesn’t sound as good but ebooks are cheaper and a kindle will last a long time. Obviously it doesn’t do much to support the local economy unless you count money going towards authors.
At that size, I imagine you're already operating across several states, and HR already has processes in place to deal with differing regulatory requirements. Adding the latest CO rules to these processes isn't all that onerous in the overall scheme of things. It's not like "post a minimum salary" and "post listings internally" are crazy or complicated ideas.
Perhaps I'm focusing on the "9.9%" aspect in terms of salary, but many tech folks I know are there and certainly not the ones "cutting the runs off the ladder" nor do they support many of these policies. In fact, many are from lower classes and it's unfair to blame them for the real elites failings.
I moved to Idaho 4 years ago, primarily interested in human powered mountaineering activities. But then joined the local SAR team and was fascinated by how snowmobiles and dirtbikes were such good tools for going further in less time and how going further in less time is actually important. From there a pickup becomes essential to get your moto vehicles to the trailhead. So now I drive an F250 - itself a fascinating tech platform - and I can't imagine life without one.
But the whole point of this is that I had a similarly dim view of pickup owners and moto sport culture based on the pop cultural narratives. And I can feel the stares from the haters as I roll my dirtbike down the ramp. Hopefully they'll be thankful when they get help before spending a cold night out.
The culture pass used to be 500 euros, for about 2K people per year (anyone turning 18 yo, only in Nievre). It's now 300 euros for anyone turning 18 yo in all of France, about 800K people.

Trying to paint that as regression is stretching the truth pretty hard.
It's simple: Ford will sell a shit ton of these.

If I saw $80-180k on a job posting, I wouldn't think it was meaningless. I would think it means that they will pay $80k, maybe a bit more, but definitely nowhere near $180k.
Sass still has a lot of popularity in the BEM world where you can use nesting to generate flat classnames that would be tedious to write out by hand, e.g.:

.element {
&__title {
color: red;
}

&__subtitle {
color: blue;
}
}

which compiles down to:

.element__title {
color: red;
}

.element__subtitle {
color: blue;
}

There's a lot of (valid) criticism that this makes code harder to grep, although if you structure things well it's still easy to find via the base element class. BEM and approaches like this in general tend to require a lot of discipline and organization to pull off effectively.

Yeah. I'm not trying to come down hard on you or anything, I just feel like a common reaction to this research is, "ethics aside, didn't they point out a real vulnerability?" And I want to make it crystal clear that, no, they didn't. Their research was entirely without value.
No, I mean Americanized. If you dropped someone in Vancouver who had never been, they'd have a hard time figuring out they were in Canada vs the US until they saw a Tim Hortons, because they would be hearing American made music and seeing American made TV while seeing a bunch of American brand stores.
I was also interested in the Twitter example. I'm always one for encouraging links to look like links, but there have to be exceptions — menu nav is the canonical example where you can usually get away with not blue-underlines because the menu nav is usually obviously links.

The typical defence against custom-styled links is that blue-underlines look 'ugly'. Whilst this sounds initially like a poor argument, if you reword 'ugly' as 'distracting', you start approaching a good UX argument.

Maybe the equivalent of such 'self links' is the convention around fragment identifiers and elements with IDs that sites 'expect' that you might want to link to — e.g. headers. Typically, when you hover over such a header, you'll see a ¶, or similar symbol, which is linked to that ID.

On twitter.com listings, the entire tweet is now a link to the individual tweet page — was that always the case? It's not perfectly discoverable, of course, but it's pretty good. Hmm... I've just realised that's also not a proper link, of course...
> the picture of the circle isn't clutter - in a very precise sense it is the definition (platonic ideal)

Which precise sense? I get that language is slippery, but I can't follow you if you get philosophical, bring up fields (maybe the polynomial is defined over a ring!) while simultaneously stating that your favorite definition is The One True Way (TM).

How does one use the platonic ideal to distinguish a circle from an ellipse?

> whether you realize it or not it's a natural language that evolves

Yes, I realize.

My point was that the day-to-day usage of natural language tolerates a lot of ambiguity. Whereas the classroom usage of mathematical/programming notation does not. It's hard to be informal and "break the rules" as a beginner while retaining precision. Because the web of potential associations hidden in a statement (the "clutter") hasn't yet been pruned down by experience.

With almost the same interior dimensions. Those tree-trunk pillars, thick doors and smooth sculpted aerodynamic shape all take up space formerly reserved for drive-train and passengers.

I think internet sales have changed that, though. We got our last car - I did the looking and pricing out online beforehand. We spend about 30 minutes in the dealership when we went to buy it.

They were very straight forward online - all in print in e-mail. You want x car, in y trim level, it costs $z. Are you financing or not?

The only thing they tried to sell us was a maintenance package that, if we lived closer than 3 hours away, actually was a good deal for the cost.

Maybe it's situational based on specific dealer?

It's pretty easy to cleanly haul stuff with a suv. You throw a nice, thick blue tarp in the back, load your stuff, boom. Job done. Bonus, it makes unloading easier too.
In a similar vein covid changed my recreation habits enough to make me consider a truck/suv. With nowhere to go except outdoors I spent a lot more time camping/kayaking in Tahoe and national parks. Bringing an inflatable kayak, paddle board, and camping supplies for the weekend was doable in my hatchback but not exactly comfortable and wouldn’t work with more than two people. Something with more storage and 4WD drive started sounding very appealing. The F-150 is very competitive with a new 4-runner or Tacoma on cost and features. Just wish it wasn’t so gigantic.
He's a genius. Love him.
Are you able to walk at normal pace when you do this? I've found that if I want to do any real thinking that I need to walk at a slow dill-dally, "putting around" pace. If I walk normal pace I can't seem to achieve any meaningful level of thought.

This could just be either because I'm distracted easily and the fast I'm walking the quicker I'm exposed to new stimulation to steal my attention or because when you walk faster you need to pay more attention to your step, not really sure.

That depends on how 'fairness' is defined. Your definition of fairness appears to exclude a set of concepts which you see as unfair.

It's not a good rhetorical tactic to cede the concept of fairness; better to argue "that thing being done in the name of fairness, is actually unfair".

That you mention wind turbine blades leads me to think that this is less about being ethically conscious, and more about having a ciltural axe to grind against 'green' tech.
I think it has good and bad sides, but looking at the specs/draft-proposal for the new functionality being drawn and the hoops the syntax has to make in order to preserve the "it's regular language" while incorporating long time needed functionality it seems like it's a bad choice - one of those things that in some years people will go, "why tf is this like this"

I understand a proper parser would (perhaps) be more complex, but could also be open sourced in a lower level lang such as C, and then used by everyone, there's also already the full test suites for testing the output - maybe even Google+MS+Moz could open a contest - "fastest, most readable and efficient parser in C (or rust, wtv) takes 10k home"

Maybe you were handling personal data correctly. Very many were not (witness numerous data breaches and private data exploited that was held for no reason). Therefore regulation was needed.

Competition is good. A race to the bottom is not.
> Does making it substitute for foreign language education, and thus effectively, relative to the status quo, discouraging foreign language education make any sense as a way to do that? No, not at all.

Of the two, programming education is probably the more useful. With a small amount of programming education, you can automate simple tasks. I would expect that taking 2 years of a programming class would leave you at least able to use existing libraries to perform basic tasks. You know what I can do with my 2 years of high school Spanish and a year of college Spanish? Nothing. I never had a reason to use it, so it languished. Even when the knowledge was fresh, my vocabulary and general comprehension were too poor to have anything other than scripted conversations. I can order food in Spanish, but God forbid they respond with anything other than "si" because it's going to go right over my head.

I'm not alone in that. Every single one of my friends took a second language in high school, and only 2 of them can actually converse and read their other language. And both of them learned at home from their parents, not in high school.

Being bilingual would be great for students, but that's not what we're getting out of second languages in high school. We're getting people that know how to ask where the library is, and can't understand the response. It's a waste of time. We either need to double down and start the language learning process much earlier and invest more time in making students fluent, or admit that the classes are mostly a novelty and allow other more useful things to take their place.
