You can change an AWS account's root account's email address. Even if you don't want to set up a new email account just for your AWS root account, many email providers include additional forwarding addresses as a feature, or use something like the Gmail feature where `me+aws-root-account@gmail.com` gets sent to me@gmail.com`; from AWS's perspective these are completely different email addresses even if Gmail treats them as the same Gmail account.

I rarely use a debugger. The experience is just awful in almost every debugger I've used.

For low level code where you really want to see all the program/function state evolving over time, they can be useful.

Your Java program throws some random NullPointerException? Prints, and lots of them. The experience with the debugger is miserable. I set a breakpoint somewhere, then do I jump or step or whatever? Who knows, all I know is whichever I pick is the wrong one everytime.

I saw another poster mention a debugger that lets you put breakpoints that print stuff. Now that would make me use a debugger all the time. Maybe the debuggers I have used already support that, I certainly wouldn't know if they do, they didn't make it discoverable.

This just doesn't fit the evidence. I've wanted Freakonomics or similar to cover this for a decade but haven't really seen/heard seen anything...

If getting into top (TOP!) universities correlated with education/aptitude alone, the wealthy would pay more to get thier kids educated but the best teachers. But they don't do this, they pay to dollar for their children to get educated by the "best" schools. But what makes them the best schools is their ability to get more kids into better universities. If education were the critical component of these schools, they'd pay premium rates for the best teachers, but often the teacher salaries at these private schools are lower than those at the public schools they compete with in the area. That suggests that it isn't the education provided by the teachers that's the most important component of these schools. There's a whole stew of other factors that these schools rely on to get kids into top placements that had nothing to do with actual education.

While I don't agree with that assessment, the more important question is: would jailbreaking my device reliably prevent Apple from scanning my photos? I really doubt so. Moreover, it would be difficult to prove it either way.

Do you invite the police into your home to watch what you do to make sure you aren't breaking any laws?
>I believe most people would be outraged if they bought a home and the homeowner's association had the right to go into their house any time of day and review all the photos they took claiming that it's a policy to protect the kids for child porn.

On the other hand it seems people are quite happy for the police to do that, at least into other peoples homes.

I think this is a great idea, but I would want to see it supported by the main Git maintainers (integrated into the Git Mainline —probably wouldn’t happen. It’s written in Python, and Git is C, so there’s a lot of structural issues).

I really like the idea of adding the work of non-tech team members (Graphic Design, Localization, Marketing, etc.) directly into Git (as opposed to requiring the devs to act as “gatekeepers”).

My main concern would be that this could end up “ballooning” a Git repo, and I’m not sure if this addresses the existing LFS issues, which would reduce its utility for some use cases (like media assets).

There’s a reason that some game studios still use Perforce (DISCLAIMER: I was a teenage Perforcer —I don’t miss it).
Your statement makes me wonder - how much does petroleum actually cost? I mean if we could somehow ignore the rent, royalties, and direct taxes, what is the true cost of a gallon of gasoline in terms of capital, goods, and labor? Or is this too variable depending on source of petroleum, refinery, and so on? If so, what is the low end and what is the high end?

Toyota hybrids are really good imo.

It seems the car is much more complex, but it's not really. The electrical motor makes it possible to have a way less complex ICE engine, for many reasons. It's still an ICE car, but pollution & consumption is halfed.

There is a reason why Toyota Priuses (started building them 20yrs ago) and now Corollas are so reliable and cheap to maintain that you can find them in any cab.

Innate intelligence is a huge factor in education. Rich parents can prepare their children very well, but it’s only changing the minimums. This is why elite schools always have an easy track to graduate they don’t want to dispel the illusion that their actually elite schools, but they also don’t want to turn away the children of billionaires etc.
On the other hand, if they still adamantly push this feature forward, it shows that there are some vested interests(Apple or otherwise) in wanting this feature in, PR be damned.

Crazy to think that in my childhood Japan was seen as this futuristic nation with stuff like HDTV decades ahead of the rest of the world.
I used the share this view, but I no longer believe it. The complexity is just in different places. Look at a Tesla, it’s an incredibly complex machine. The ICE is effectively a solved problem.

OTOH this is their reason. Japan needs to retool ASAP. They’re the most technologically advanced country in the world though and they have the best process management, so they can do it.

Many countries have plans for coal phase-out, including dates. There could be more, of course, and tighter timelines, but it's there.

Considering the much higher costs of gas and oil in comparison (and compared to renewable) this might just be enough to get out of using fossil energy for most power production. (Except maybe to cover peaks.)

In general all types of dilemma situations are solved to a substantial degree by allowing people to communicate with each other and then individuals arriving at appropriate actions.

I am not advocating against regulations or the like but saying that individuals are of the hook because „I don’t matter anyway“ is a recipe for ongoing disaster.

We need all types of push back against injustice, unfairness, and plain stupidity. Making excuses doesn’t help anyone.

Depending on the province, but it is your parents who paid for your tuition with your taxes. So international students don't come much cheaper, or expensive to universities.

But international students are much easier for universities to get, for both top universities in Vancouver, and small towns further away. For the later, they are almost like a lifeline.
There are also losses in charging the batteries.
Governments currently have a critical lack of ambition, they have been captured by global corporations and made to believe only privately owned entities can solve complex problems. This is why software engineering looks like an impossibly hard problem.

> Quality matters more than quantity.

> Finishing the book is optional.

I find this amusing because I remember (I don't know why I remember), reading an article posted on HN essentially suggesting the opposite. Something along the lines of: not trying to absorb the whole book if it's stopping you from making progress, better to finish something than read nothing, it was argued better and felt convincing at the time... It sort-of clicked because I do have a bunch of unfinished books that I find quite interesting, probably like most people. I usually get to a point where I stop because I feel like I'm just mechanically reading and not absorbing, and then get distracted...

I still haven't managed to force myself to just carry on, it just doesn't feel right. However when I do make some progress, I feel enriched and think about it in the following days - and isn't that the point? so I guess I am in agreement with this article. I'd rather make incremental progress on these books that matter to me, and actually assimilate the ideas, than get all the way to the end and only have a vague sense of what it was about. Maybe one day I will have the luxury of re-reading them front to back.

Or, perhaps they are both good strategies, but for different things. Slow for depth, fast for breadth - if you want to expose yourself to a wider variety for discovery, go fast. If you found a good quality book and know you like it, go slow.

I agree, trafficking is marginal problem nowadays, except maybe children trafficking, but this is totally different story. Prostitution today is a choice and, in developed countries, does not even have that much social stigma.
It's good that every service has separate credentials.

For a counterexample, consider Apple and how they try to restrict you to a single Apple ID. They want everything to be tied to a single person. Every service you use is tied to your Apple ID.

It just doesn't match the way that people use computers.

For example, I get my computer games and business software billed to the same card, and there's no easy way to change that.

Somehow the app store "helpfully" installed a baby monitor app that I use at home on my work computer.

We set up a Mac as build server in the office. It's shared by multiple people. I need to log in with my personal credentials to download software from the Mac App store.

My girlfriend bought an iPad for the kids to watch TV. It's shared by a couple of people. She had to log in with her Apple ID to set it up, and now her personal iMessages and emails are on it. It's stupid.

Some of these problems can be fixed, but it's really annoying.

The thing is that upper/middle class parents value education more than lower class parents (on average). Unless you take the kids completely away from their parents (horrible thought, was somewhat tried in the GDR), the former kind of parents will find a way to give their kids valuable lessons, even if it is just sitting on the sofa and reading a book.

I recently met a woman that brought her son to the first day of school. Not only did all her manners signal "lower class" when she talked to the teachers, but also she explicitly mentioned that she thought the kid would not fare well in math. I also saw the boy and he did indeed not behave like the brightest, but who knows what lies under the surface? That mother basically made it very hard, if not impossible, for her kid to ever reach higher education. She won't search for tutors, even if she would not need to pay it. She will be content with bad results. It's really sad to see, but I think there really is no way to fix this inside the school system.
Assuming that the story is true, the thing that rules out a traditional quadcopter is the fact that it was flying for an hour. You can make quads fast or long range/endurance, but AFAIK, nobody is even close to making a quad that can do 100mph for an hour. The battery weight for that kind of flight time would be too heavy for the quad to fly.

The only problem is, it never paid off to hold to a technology which time has passed, however profitable it was. The impact onto the industry of going electric is much less than missing the boat and not going electric in time.

Switching dozens of millions cars to battery-electric drive trains is not a viable strategy, especially for the logistics sector.

Germany produces 1.6 TWh of electricity per day. Charging 50 million electric cars with a 50-kWh-battery would require 2.5 TWh of electricity. Even if you just charge 1/4 of those cars, you’d still 0,625 TWh, so almost 50% of what Germany produces in a single day.

Germany has around 47 million passenger cars according to the national vehicle agency (KBA).

Battery-electric cars are simply no viable solution to get dozens of million cars have emission-free.

Let alone the ridiculous ranges of these BEVs. A regular Opel Astra Diesel achieves with 1000 km range with a single tank-fill while even the best BEVs will only achieve 400 km on average.

A Diesel can be refilled in 5 minutes, a BEV takes at least 30 to 60 minutes, in many cases even longer due to the lack of sufficient high-current power chargers.

BEVs are simply a step backwards in both comfort abd usability. That’s why they’re no serious alternative and Japan’s hydrogen approach is much more promising. Especially with passenger trains already running on hydrogen and German company Deutz just having introduced a high-power hydrogen engine.

Is the intent to turn Git into something like Jetbrains's Local History, an unbranched log of all changes on disk without commit messages? I don't think it can replace human-curated Git histories, cu but could be useful as a safety net to avoid losing uncommitted code. You probably wouldn't want to put a build directory in gitfs without a .gitignore rule though.
Yes, the question mark makes it sound like a question. An option is "by Adam Smith". Trying to "sound more polite" may be the problem - I prefer either brutal directness or genuine kindness to sounding polite.

It's a very well-known quote. IMHO the language and phrasing are too archaic to come across as an opinion, even to someone it isn't well-known to. The curious will google (though it doesn't hurt for you to add attribution).

I hope you'll appreciate that my reply was helpful and charitable - though it too seems to have missed the mark!

Very interesting language.

First a great point about the homepage: it goes directly to business, no marketing buzzwords, no stupid mascot, one glance at that page and any developer gets a very good idea of what that language does and doesn't.

Second yes, they are very interesting choices and functions.

However:

https://github.com/brownplt/pyret-lang

It's implemented in Javascript? This is a kind of no started for the kind of app I do, personally. But as a stand alone language which interpreter would be written in C/C++ and could be dropped into an existing native app, it would be interesting.
Tikz is fantastic if you know exactly what you want to draw. However in the case of many academic papers and presentations, the author doesn’t know exactly what they want to draw until after most of the graphics are made - only then can you observe some changes that can be made to make everything more consistent (not consistent with respect to line widths, colours, and whatever, I mean more consistent as in “tells a consistent story”). Tikz is awful for this - the amount of time one has to spend trying to edit a single graphic is so so much higher than with any other visual vector graphics program (Inkscape, Ipe, Illustrator, etc). It means that for many people, even if something looks out-of-place in the larger context of a paper or presentation, they won’t change it because it’s too hard. If you spent 20 minutes making a graphic with any other tool, then down the road if you feel it would be done better a completely different way, it’s fine to chuck it out and go again. With Tikz, making graphics can take much longer (this is doubly true if your edits are taking place outside of that one week you had Tikz loaded into your brain), and authors are much more reluctant to throw away work to improve a final result.

It’s because of this that I think working with Tikz (or other very-high-friction-for-most-people tools) is to the detriment of the end product. Being able to be agile, especially when displaying technical and complicated graphics, is paramount to those graphics ending up good.
