>The buildings themselves are not required to survive in habitable fashion

This is the norm for the pacific rim. It's just not economically viable to build for longevity in the face of tectonic movement. Saving lives however? We know how and those cities and citizens at risk that don't invest pay terribly for it. Given what we know about quakes these days, it's inexcusable any civil infrastructure or building should lead to loss of life.

My wife's parents came to the United States from the Philippines. It's a very odd twist that our mixed-race children will benefit on their college admissions forms by checking the box for white.

Completely unfair. I would vastly prefer to walk into any college campus in the United States and be vastly outnumbered by Asians who earned the privilege to be there than to see them be more representative of the population as a whole by changing the standards for different groups.
For me Emacs was only something I used when I couldn't have access to XEmacs, which was the best workaround for the lack of IDEs in 1990's UNIX.

This is massively overblown, especially the comparison to what happened at other manufacturers. Samsung announced the change, changed the packaging, and updated the specs on their site.

And they changed for a better controller (from the 980 Pro) with 4X more write queues and an improved dynamic SLC cache strategy. It is slower in one (minor) edge case but will be faster in every single other ones. If I had the choice I'd pick the new one, without question.
> they weren't storming the white house

Why would they storm the white house? Trump was there...they wanted to keep him there by intimidating politicians at the Capital to not certify the election. Stop watching Fox News / OAN / NewsMax (and CNN/etc while you're at it.) I am not delusional enough to think that Biden (or any politician) are in it for anything other than power. The difference between Trump and all the "professional" politicians is that when they lose, they don't decide to throw a temper tantrum and incite an insurrection. Storming the Capital was 100% an insurrection.

Definition of insurrection
: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

It's time to stop identifying as republican/democrat and start being an American. The institution of gov't and it's continuity matters more than the party in power. Trump tarnished the election process and the institution of American gov't. There are plenty of problems with our gov't caused by both sides (largely caused by bribery (I mean 'lobbying')) but maybe it's time to stop with the partisan bullshit and find common ground.

Is that code for "it costs too much"?
I use ML-family languages for most of my work and I simply can’t express my code in mainstream languages in a reasonable way. I could solve the same problems in a different way, but it would be a lot more code and a lot less robust. People I talk to who don’t use these languages aren’t convinced by this claim; they seem to think I’ve joined a cult! Have I? It’s difficult to judge from the inside looking in.

I think you are the one telling stories to yourself. According to you, Concorde was created to tie the UK to the EEC, which UK was not part of. May I remind you that the EEC membership was proposed to the UK and they flatly refused. Later when they tried to join, France denied their membership up until 1973. Concorde first flew in 1969.

Parent is correct, Concorde was a first step towards Airbus. European governments knew that there was too many aircraft manufacturers and they saw the need for mergers. France and UK are the leading europeans aircraft manufacturers, that made sense to start with a franco british venture.
Many of the Concorde staff later worked for Airbus, like Henri Ziegler, and refined the concorde technology.
Wikipedia says "shortly before Polyus' launch, Mikhail Gorbachev visited the Baikonur Cosmodrome and expressly forbade the in-orbit testing of its capabilities." It wasn't the case that USSR upper power hid its cruel intentions or that space industry was more militaristic than Politburo.

Buran had other interesting features, like non-toxic propellants and longer ability to stay on orbit. It's not that Soviets always learned from their mistakes and made better systems - sometimes they couldn't, and sometimes the problems were internal to the system, like grounding of TKS after Chelomey's death - it's that sometimes this approach did lead to improved results. Soviet engineers were quite capable in aerospace.

Regarding economics of Tu-144 flights. I've heard that economics of civil aviation in USSR was rather weird - political pressure dictated having civil aviation, economical realities dictated subsidizing most - not only Tu-144 - flights to keep them affordable, yet this approach also had side benefits in keeping industry, which essentially was tailored for military orders, occupied with projects, testing, maintenance, learning, education of specialists, even international sales.
If you read the linked article by the IMF you start to get it, bunch of ECB economists exploring innovation in financial products and writing a meaningless blogpost about it. Bunch of buzzwords, nothing interesting.

In their defense, they write:
“Fintech resolves the dilemma by tapping various nonfinancial data: the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases.”

So it seems they’re not recommending this usage of data persee, but just say fintech is already doing this.

Just out of interest, why do you want to use Kubernetes in a home cloud environment? Given the limited scale of such an environment I don't see the need for something like Kubernetes here, just have those containers managed by Proxmox and be done with it. That is how I use it, with task-specific containers (auth, mail, (data)base, a few build environments, p2p, media, reverse web proxy, router, etc) directly managed through pct (Proxmox LXC CLI).

You nailed it — the primary value of these marketplaces is the consumer facing ordering technology, not the fact that it’s a marketplace.

You’re mistaken. The primary value is the logistics of dealing with drivers. A restaurant supplying its own drivers will always be at a disadvantage to Door Dash/Uber Eats etc because they can never utilize their drivers as efficiently as the big delivery companies. During peak hours, a restaurant may receive a surge of orders that they do not have the drivers to handle. During off-peak hours, on the other hand, they may not have any orders at all so any drivers they employ will be sitting idle, on call.

The marketplace for restaurants that everyone talks about is not the hard one to build. The hard one is the marketplace for drivers. If I’m a restaurant then there’s very little value to me in an app that takes orders but does not provide drivers.

Rampant property crime with no legal repercussions is common here. People shoot up in parks (and now on school property!) and the city is now denying permits for kids to use parks because of the camps.

The problem is a learned helplessness of the electorate combined with reasonable voters leaving, resulting in people who want to double down on the status quo replacing them.

There is zero political will to enforce vagrancy, open air drug use, and private property law if someone is living in a tent. No standards == these people feel empowered to do whatever they want, while contributors to the tax base are treated poorly. I still get a ticket 30 mins after parking too far from the curb, and the city council does not like that I make a good income and own a single family home.
I am going to give a contrarian take on it. Banks are doing the right thing if they do not want to provide financial services to facilitate amateur pornographic actors.

Camwhoring is degrading for the both the patron and the provider. Fundamentally sex is about person to person contact for the purpose of procreation and raising children and no I am not approaching this from a religious angle but an evolutionary biological angle.

Rather than masturbating to camwhores lonely men should be directing their energies toward finding a mate or at least doing something to useful for society.

Rather than sitting at home doing the the same for the benefit of anonymous strangers over the internet poor women should be doing something socially useful with themselves.

It seems to me that regulated in person sex work is better for society than pornography. At least it involves real people rather than frustrating desires through a digital bait and switch.

Interestingly and historically, South Korea has broadly tolerated prostitution while banning pornography.

Interesting. I’m a fan of Gilads work, and have a strong admiration for Lars Bak who were both involved in 1.0. I followed it cursorily from time to time and thought it looked intriguing. I had a number of colleagues from the Smalltalk industry that went to work on it.

They’ve all left now (I don’t know what Lars’ involvement is anymore?).

But I was curious about Dart for a cross platform app and learned Dart 2.0 and was wholeheartedly let down. I just felt like I was staring at a Java dialect. The “sanctioned” tutorial I watched introduced classes as a “way of organizing code” which I guess could abstractly be said to be true, but IMO misses the mark entirely.

Anyway, I found Dart 2.0 to be very uninteresting. Very safe and traditional and boring. Maybe I need to relook closer to try and see what you’re seeing that I did not.

The whole point of the die on silicone seems to be that this maximizes the interface bandwidth and minimize latency between the dies.

To be fair, this is not a publication for lay-people; it's obviously and explicitly a publication for electrical engineers, which would not need these things explained. But it's still a terrible analogy since the phrasing seems to imply that it's talking about power, when it's actually talking about current.
I think this is also why a lot of older programmers (or even older workers in general) get mistakenly labelled as "resistant to change". It's not that we're unwilling to learn new things, quite the contrary. It's that we've been to enough rodeos to see that many "new" solutions are either pure hype or repackaged versions of stuff that was already tried and found lacking.
Xinuos, founded by former SCO leaders filed a lawsuit against IBM & Red Hat, back in April https://lwn.net/Articles/851315/ (no, it wasn't an april fool's day joke). https://www.xinuos.com/xinuos-sues-ibm-and-red-hat/, alleging anti-competitive behaviour etc. Xinuous produces newer versions of *nix based OSs that the SCO Group used to produce, the OpenServer and UnixWare brands.

So even though SCO group is finally (finally?!) dying, everything is still pretty much business as usual.

This is yugely better than what some other SSD makers have done.

The only thing holding this back is the economic dominance of white people. There's nothing inherently favorable about being white except that, in most cases of human history, white groups have been the dominant economic actors throughout the world.

I feel like this is obviously true when taken at face value, however in practice there are probably loose correlations (not causation) between those two, even if not for the reasons that you'd expect.

I'm not sure whether it was mentioned in the same podcast that i linked, or another one, but there was a very interesting example for Haskell that was offered in one discussion. The argument was that the people who utilize Haskell tend to be more likely than the average developer to have ties to academia (which may incidentally also speak of their cognitive abilities):

- Haskell is popular for numerical processing, moreso than for the somewhat typical CRUD apps
- because of this, Haskell is more likely to have materials describing it which are aimed towards an academian audience
- ergo, those materials won't always be simple step by step tutorials on how to do things, but will sometimes assume familiarity with certain maths concepts and will also focus on solving a particular set of (advanced) problems
- and when these materials attempt to explain these simpler things, invariably you'll still end up with explanations of what monads are somewhere in there, whereas with something like Python you'd have less overhead and a less steep learning curve
- as a consequence of all of this, Haskell won't be as popular as Python, or similar languages

In the podcast, the person said that these "weird" (or perhaps "niche" is a better word) languages would be far more widespread if they were made more easily approachable, because right now there are no easy and simple to digest books to recommend to people who'd like to get started with them.

Now, the person might be wrong, since their observations are bound to be subjective and i might be wrong to assume that they hold true in many cases because of how believable all of that sounds, but to answer your question, i'd argue that the average user of Haskell is indeed a bit more intelligent than the average user of Java or many other general purpose languages (even though then we step on the mine of having to define what intelligence even is, where opinions can once again differ).

I'd say that simply happens, because some of those languages are far more approachable and therefore more widely used by a large audience of people, not all of which need to concern themselves with solving the issues that people in academia need to deal with. Of course, there could be the counterpoint that not everyone in academia is brilliant, but i remember seeing some pretty admirable professors and researchers back when i was in my university!
