This is awesome! I hope somebody create a credible sounding news agency around it and saturate the medium with massive amount of disinformation. Also kinda wish you could tailor the disinformation to a particular political favor.

its high time we learned the dollar value of the good old fashion boots-on-the-ground journalism.

btw the comment is Not /s if you are wondering.
> I disagree. There are inherent qualities associated with systems that happen to be easier to understand. If you or I were designing such a system, and wanted to ensure this system imbued similar qualities — I believe it would be possible to do so.

Can you formalize these inherent qualities? Until you can, it's hard to prove that a quality is or is not essential.
That contrast of value creation against theft is a false dichotomy. Reframing the latter as "value capture" or "wealth extraction" and treating it separately from value creation gives way to a far more robust analysis.

Sorry you're getting downvoted, but you are correct. He literally told thousands of blatant lies and nothing that was coming out of his mouth could be trusted. The collective amnesia of republicans is astonishing. "Trust" in the source is quite important for reporting the facts. Not every reporter has the time to wade through tons of horseshit to find a single nugget of truth.
Anybody tried bar ends on a Peloton? I find that when the instuctor wants you out of the saddle there's not enough resistance to merit the change. This might be because I ride high in the saddle and focus on consistent cadence using the up motion from the clipless pedals.
What about iterators? My instinct is that people would run into wanting to use `map` or `filter` or something before they feel the need to spawn threads when using a new language, although that might be my bias coming from a more functional background before learning Rust. The types of closures used as predicates tend to be a lot simpler though, so I guess this may not be what you mean by "confronting" them.
What he's touching on is Complexity Fallacy. (i.e. we "over-complexify" things). Why? "We often find it easier to face a complex problem than a simple one."[1]

Humans also possess Simplicity Bias. (i.e. we "over-simplify" things). "Simplicity bias is a cognitive bias towards holding views which can be explained by a simple narrative."[2]

Ironically, this very article may exemplify the Simplicity Bias to explain a Complexity Fallacy!!

It seems the ultimate answer is the perennial, "know thyself." Practice self-awareness; and know which Bias you're leaning on, and more important, why you're leaning on it (in light of the goal).

Why okay devil's advocate? What is the reasoning behind that?
It's a plausible theory, but they almost definitely would have had prints from him already.

The fingers and palm were analysed in the photo. There's a better photo here: https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2021/m...

Without any image processing, we can already see palm prints and the ridges and lines in the palm and fingers. These are unique biometric identifiers. In fact, palms have more identifying characteristics than fingerprints.

They are almost certainly telling the truth in this story.
If you read scientific journals, they have dealt with ASCII names, sometimes with last names in all caps, with the given name.[0]

Today i nearly hit a bicyclist. They didn’t have the right of way, were riding their bike on a sidewalk across a crosswalk with a don’t walk sign when the light turned green and i was turning right. I started to turn and noticed the biker about a second before impact. I wouldn’t even call this a close call.

This cyclist wants legal vengeance and to exaggerate the responsibility of the driver.

Two additional things share a lot of fault as well. One the infrastructure is dangerous. Well separated bike lanes are pretty safe, lines on pavement on the side of the road aren’t. Bikes have much different size, much different speed and acceleration characteristics, and often don’t follow traffic rules and lighting visibility rules. It also obviously takes a lot less to kill a bicyclist.

Humans make mistakes, we all have to be more accepting of that.

Biking on streets is dangerous. It’s relatively rare, you’re small, less visible, and in close proximity to large heavy fast things.

Bikers also have the habit of acting like they are invulnerable as long as they have the legal right of way. I grew up around farm machinery and it’s something that got burned very well into me. These tractors are moving around and i’m walking or operating other equipment in the same space, i know when they can see me, when they can’t see me, and when they might not look, i know what i think they’re going to do, if they know where i am and know what i mean to do, if they have seen me recently, etc etc. There is a ton of knowledge and thinking about others mental state there, also a sense of who would have right away, what is “polite” or legal, but if you just go on living like what is expected to happen will always happen... you die.

Many bicyclists and motorists get to the point of “right of way” and stop and just act like there’s no need for additional thoughts are necessary. If there was no law they would be much more aware, careful, and respectful of others, but because standards of behavior were cofofied, they blind themselves to any reason beyond “this is legal” and get into trouble,
For the record, my name only contains one non-ASCII character, an "í". So what I did was change it to an "i" for the email subject line, and in the body of the email point out I could not follow their instructions literally, and also told them what my legal name is.
They do make all purpose bikes, they're just called 'hybrids' now.

Giant Tough Road feels a lot like a modern take on a 90s mountain bike.
Isn't it everywhere?
All that assumes you have some stuff to set up that global map, and that means that setup code is a requirement.

I end up writing lots of library code. Sometimes that library code is called from within a command line utility I created, sometimes it's called from a web service, sometimes it's just a small driver script because I'm not developing or testing the utility, but the library code itself.

I can make that include to set up the shared global and try to make sure it's included in all instances and all ways I want to use the code, or make all the call sites resilient to it not existing, or I can just use the included OS mechanism for doing this and since that's always available, I get it for free.

Also, dry run mode isn't necessarily something you want set in a config. It's generally something you run once or twice prior to running for real (the normal case) or while in development/debugging. It's not something you would want to set in code and accidentally forget and push live, and generally a good dry run mode will look like it succeeded without actually succeeding, mocking responses that would fail along the way, because you aren't testing one small thing you're testing a workflow of some sort generally which has a few steps.

That said, I fully admit the trade-off might go a different way for different languages. Using a compiled strongly typed language may mean there's enough bits to check that you need to write a debug/dry run helper function to make it convenient, so there's not a lot lost by requiring setup in that as well. But for something like Perl (and I assume Python and Ruby and JS, to almost the same degree) where I can do:

warn "Calling out to foo() with args: " . Dumper($args) if $ENV{DEBUG} and $ENV{DEBUG} >= 2;
foo($args) if not $ENV{DRY_RUN};

and it will be completely valid, obvious and idiomatic with zero additional work, there's a real draw to using environment vars for these two specific cases (even if not for all config).

Of course that have already thought about that. Note that the theme park must have a certain revenue to qualify.
I’m not sure I’d like her take. I don’t like too much the movie either. I’d like the programs to be more alien, more funhouse mirror images of their creators, and be portrayed as AÍ semi-autonomous agents.

Deny shouldn't break the API, it just means the app gets garbage data instead.
Monopolists are going to downvote you, but they're wrong.

These megacorps shouldn't be allowed to enter fifteen different industries and kill off the incumbents. This is absurd.

Amazon is internet services infra, shopping, logistics, fulfillment, consumer hardware, networking, a payments stack, publisher, grocery store, and now a fucking entertainment company.

They track us, turn us into non-owner subscribers, and prevent us from building companies that can compete with their scale. We're eternally subservient. It's not healthy for innovation!

Break up Apple.

Break up Amazon.

Break up Google.
> All the experts I listened or read to, they told that instruction set doesn't matter and it is the insignificant thing. The part that matters is branch and data prediction, and caching. Also, even intel transforms an instruction into RISC like microinstructions internally.

I've heard this before, but I've also seen sources which indicate that x86 instruction decoding is definitely a bottleneck [1-5]. The M1 has a significantly wider pipeline/OoO window/reorder buffer than any other processor, and most sources seem to agree that this is because the simplicity of the ARM ISA allowed Apple to build an 8-wide instruction decoder (as compared to around 4-wide for x86 chips). [1] also mentions that Apple's impressive branch-prediction capabilities are at least partially because ARM's 4-byte-aligned instructions greatly simplify the design of the branch predictor.

So yes, it's true that an x86 processor really runs RISC-like uops under the hood. However, the best out-of-order execution pipeline in the world is limited by how far ahead it can see, and that depends on how fast the instruction decoder can feed it instructions.

Once again though, I am not a microarchitecture expert. I just read bits of information from people who do know what they're talking about and try to form it into a coherent mental model. If you have knowledge or sources that disagree with me, I would be happy to be proven wrong :)

The actual process of finding the viral reservoir is to go off into the wild and collect samples. It has not changed since SARS.

SARS was a very big deal in China and the Chinese government allocated a lot of resources to research. As far as points one and two, that means no real improvement, as it was already in the diminishing return phase.

Because of this I don't actually see why it would be any faster. SARS wasn't the first virus where finding a reservoir was tried, far from it, and the limiting factor in the search for the source is still the same. Because of this I don't expect it should be much easier this time than last time.

Because they're ugly and most importantly they provide basically no benefit for mountain biking. If you're doing something like gravel riding or road riding then yes they're nice but you typically have drop bars on those bikes.

Having a big silly piece of metal sticking forward on your bars while you're trying to speed down a steep techy piece of single track is just asking to get hurt. It'd be as dumb as putting a kickstand on your mountain bike.

The only reason they used to be there is because mountain biking was so new it hadn't completely separated from the roadie culture. Older mountain bikes have skinny tires, narrow bars, long stems etc. All of this stuff has been proven to make downhill riding harder and less enjoyable.
It's cold, but in the long run one person probably doesn't matter that much.

It's not about cyclists. It's about the legal protections that drivers have against non-drivers.

About a hundred years ago there were auto clubs across the US that lobbied for things like raising speed limits, making newly-minted "jaywalking" illegal, blaming horses for being frightened by those contraptions, and making it more difficult for drivers who killed with their vehicles to be charged for killing someone.

Frankly, this makes the NRA seem harmless with their popguns.

A definition, or a product photo, even a link to rare backstock bar ends on eBay wouldn't hurt anyone.

What would hurt me most would be if, to make it approachable, the first two paragraphs were a short description of breakfast and their disappointing ringtone, a character sketch of the person who just-now-texted which reminded the author that they had asked to borrow a wrench, that the author had to use to repeatedly tighten a left bar-end that would slip after any real use, then dramatically flex their wrist and continue on with the entire essay while still not once defining bar-end.
Isn't adjusting disc brakes a lot easier too? Adjusting rim brakes seems like a never-ending exercise, and the wheel needs to be perfectly true or it will rub. And changing the brake pads with that nut and stack of weird washers is tedious and error-prone. And the squeaks and squeals—I've tried so hard to get rid of them but they always come back.

I'm considering upgrading my hybrid road bike to one with disc brakes just so I never have to deal with rim brakes again. (I currently have a 2015 Trek FX which I otherwise like a lot.)
>The Bond franchise alone probably is worth half of what this deal is gonna cost.

Probably not. MGM doesn't "own" Bond in the same way that Disney owns Star Wars. There are complicating factors to the Bond movies that reduce the brand's value to MGM and any new prospective owner.
This is easy to objectively disprove. Disc brakes offer better braking power, don't wear as quickly, and don't fade on long hills. They also keep the braking and structural parts of the wheel independent, so a dented rim doesn't prevent the brakes from working, and wear from braking doesn't structurally compromise the wheel.

There is a lot of fud about discs in the road-biking circles, but it doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.

If you have rim brakes, and you like them, then great! Don't malign them because you dislike change though.
Infrastructure in the US just doesn't seem to care about biking as a valid mode of transport.

In most of Europe, right turns on red are illegal unless indicated otherwise -- that's very much an American thing. Bikes often have their own traffic lights [1], and sometimes their own roads (especially in the Netherlands and parts of Germany).

On major roads in China [2], bike lanes are massive (often 2-4 meters wide) and separated entirely from the streets by a median (and sometimes even a fence) and that alone greatly reduces the possibility of an accident with a car.

> It’s relatively rare

That's another big problem with biking in the US. Biking is generally much safer in countries where biking is not rare, and people generally assume there are bikes everywhere you look.

That said -- I'm a cyclist, live in California and I hate it when other cyclists run red lights and don't stop at stop signs. It spoils it for the rest of us who want cyclists to be accepted rather than hated.

(this is all just my opinion based on personal observations. I haven’t done research into concrete data on this so take it all with a grain of salt.)

So far they seem even more materially oriented. Because that’s how we teach people to be.

We lie to children and tell them that the most important thing in their lives and their primary source of fulfillment is a career. When in reality most of us get that from our relationships with other people, and a career is just a means to an end.

And of course social media continues to reduce social interaction down its most shallow possible level.

All financial considerations aside, Gen Z will probably be the most isolated, mentally ill, and least self sufficient generations in a very long time. And that’s because of the world we made for them.
I don't see how you got to this conclusion.

It's not good at solving problems in the best possible way according to everyone. Centralisation is great at solving problems in the best possible way according to a single person or circle of people.

It's good at solving problems so that the majority of people willing to pledge resources are happy.

If you're running FTP as plaintext you're indeed doing it wrong, I'm not sure that that must be what GP meant. Not as if we explicitly mention (START)TLS for every other protocol that supports it.
>The (political) views of a creator are very relevant

Agree completely because it shapes the actual intent of the creation.

More just hinting if you could truly do an audit I'm not sure you'd be happy with what you found. For example, an operating system that requires all financial transactions that go through it has to take 30% to go into the wallet of the creators doesn't really seem particularly left leaning...

Indeed, no mathematician or statistician would think of `+` as concatenation. List concatenation isn't a relevant problem to most mathematicians. This is where the above comments about prior knowledge and context come into play. Likewise, when I multiply two vectors together, or multiply a scalar with a vector, I have a definite idea what I "want" out of that multiplication. For many programmers, they think of this more as an exercise in data-types than an expression of linear algebra.
Yeah, but if you're not already in the job, the distribution of "teams that are currently hiring external candidates" can be quite skewed towards the worse side of things, and if you don't know this going in, you'll have a very bad time at most large organizations.

A successful strategy is quite frequently to treat your first team at a company as just the second phase of an interview to get into one of the better teams in the company. Depends on the company, to be sure, but I've definitely seen many instances of "we're a good team, we know it, we'll happily poach good engineers from any team we like". It helps that the good engineers are going to be unhappy with their current team and looking to make the switch, anyways.

If you don't switch teams within your first year or so, it usually means you a) got very lucky at random, b) got into a good team because you knew someone internally with good info and were able to short-circuit the process, or c) you failed to network/interview well enough internally to move up, and you should probably either be okay with a dumpster fire or move to another company.

IDN A-labels would still be accepted. Using the U-label is likely to require the same level of support as EAI, because without EAI support, non-ASCII strings are likely to horribly, horribly screw up the lower levels of the stack, and I wouldn't recommend supporting EAI without actually testing to make sure your stack can really handle EAI. (Not to mention EAI localparts being their own can of worms).

That’s the most interesting find of the book isn’t it?

We’ve taken a sort of controversial approach to software development in the public sector of Denmark because we don’t have enough resources. Small projects are build to run their own little lives with as little post-deployment development as possible. Because of this they aren’t build with best practices, whatever theories are the right way to do things in a current age, none of them are automatically tested because their functionally is so small it’s always going to be obvious where the flaws are and the only way for them to get additional development post deployment is if they turn out to be really good, and even then, we don’t expect them to live after 5-10 years.

It’s way of development goes against every theory on software development you’ll find being taught at universities and academies, I know, because I’m an external CS examiner at these places, and we’ve really only chosen to do this because we have 3 developers in an organisation with 10.000 employees.

Now the data shows us, that we’re actually better off doing the wrong thing.

The real issue is not the part, it's the company doing the service. Legitimate service centers will source parts that are high quality - just like any other industry. People still repair cars (including brakes) on their own - to give you one example.
