Just to expand on your point:

Sure you can let a chunk of code take a few seconds longer than it could with little overall effect.

But stack a hundred of these up and all those seconds compound and suddenly become immensely important.

A suit of armour with a million chinks isn't very effective armour.

(As an aside, depending on your use case, it can be worth optimizing the big bottlenecks, high use, computationally expensive, etc. components and not worry too much about the rest)

You could just read it yourself and see that it does say he was there to wipe out the Kshatriyas. What's up for interpretation is what "burdened" means. You will find most religious texts leave many things like this up for interpretation because they're the outputs of evolving, oral traditions and not fixed technical manuals.

Then I have serious doubts as to how knowledgable you are on the subject. This is given as the central reason for the events of the Mausala Parva and why the hunter who ends up killing Krishna is held blameless for simply executing the last step in Krishna fulfilling his Dharma. The whole of the Mahabharata is about the concept of yagna/sacrifice, the eradication of the old to make way for the next Yuga.

If you haven't listened to the director commentary on the Bladerunner director's cut, you owe yourself a rewatch. The only parts that I recall are regarding set design and frankly if it wasn't for the struggles and pain of a real set I'm not sure the movie would have remotely the same feel.

Where reality meets imagination is a magical place. Unbounded imagination typically results in tiring fantasy that doesn't resonate with the viewer. The realism is free when it's actually real.
Agreed, but that isn't a rationalization of the walled garden or proof that the Internet couldn't have continued to grow without the model imposed by "platforms".

To the contrary, the Internet was still growing by leaps and bounds. I propose that the Internet had reached a point where vested interests needed to capture it to maintain control of the narrative.

I think you made a similar mistake in your thought process with "public forums" which almost always took place in private places, like churches, clubs, etc. It's not a given that public forums were on government property, and most local governments couldn't afford large meeting spaces.

The idea that every government and "public" forum in American history was government land is crazy to me. People weren't going into the courthouse to have friendly debates. They were in inns, bars, churches, etc. I would wager the vast majority of all "public forums" you refer to happened in a private location.

Thus this isn't some unprecedented scenario, as the church has controlled public speech in all but the biggest of towns in this manner for our entire history.

I'm reminded of the Red Scare where socialists and communist sympathizers could not meet because all the meeting spaces were private and they were banned from meeting there. So much for historical public forums! What few private forums were available were targeted by the government and its sympathizers for shutdown, violence or worse.

Imagine putting the government that ran the red scare IN CHARGE OF what constitutes free speech and who can publish what.

>We will need to invent a new concept of how such communication should be regulated and moderated.

No thanks, I like Free Speech and Liberty and we never need to invent a new way for the government of the day to control speech.
From the state ? Most likely none, unless you are actively calling for harm, rebellion, terrorism, things like that.

From individuals ? I would be more than happy to punch you for preaching nazi rethoric, for example, and so would thousands of us.
Specifically asked about this. Mixture of old codebases and new.

Half the companies using it are 1-2 years old according to him. Lots of 10 person startup teams just fresh off a raise.
When it's presented as a near-existential threat then I think it's important to keep some perspective, and it clarifies that "free speech absolutism" has never been a particular common or popular stance.

They might find that Tesla did no wrong here, further enabling Tesla to get away with this. But this looks a lot like they want to regulate the feature a bit more.
If self regulation via companies and humans does not work, the government will step in.

Curious to see the outcome, they haven't ordered the immediate disablement of the feature, they might have a neutral view.

Libby as a library app is a PITA. The latest update made it somewhat better, but the UI is still horrible. E.g., it has 5 menu buttons at the bottom that you can use to navigate between different parts of the app, _unless_ you press the center one, then the menu vanishes and you have to know that now you have to somehow swipe left, which will dump you in different menu point. You leave book info boxes by swiping down.

My biggest peeve is that I cannot simply look for a book across the different libraries I have access to. I have to select each one individually and repeat the search several times to find out that the book I am looking for is not available.

Finally, I wish there was a simple list where I can store books I am interested in without committing to it. The tag system can be used that way but is unpleasantly wonky. Why not make that a menu button rather than the 'timeline', which gives me an overview of the books I signed up for, loaned, and return dates for, I assume, the past 100 years. Why would I need that information as a top level button?

This is a super underrated feature. You can do some really cool things when you combine this with Ignition and Fedora CoreOS. Ignition has the ability to manage systemd units on boot.

I prefer the exact opposite. Moving from North America to Europe was great, because no longer do I get a nonsense bill with all sorts of weirdo charges I don't care about stacked on top of the advertised price. Rather, I pay the price that is advertised. I absolutely, positively, do not care about the varying cost components of my purchase. I just want to know what I have to pay. The vendors and tax man can work it out amongst themselves.

Like, do you think that the practice of airlines advertising $49 flights if not for the $20 9/11 fee, and $40 oil and gas fee, and $20 airport improvement fee, and $30 per page, and... for a total of $327.84 round trip is actually beneficial to the consumer because it provides some kind of perceived transparency that we're supposed to be mad at some nebulous other if we're unhappy with prices?

I have seen several of such initiatives. They all started out well but then slowly died because management didn’t allocate long term attention, time and budget. If this is not part of the fundamental company process it will die slowly.

Not at all, they used to be competitors in the web space but Python won the academia space. Python is taught at university in Europe, Ruby far less.

Node.js is a mess, not because of javascript but all these layers of complexity imposed by professional front-end development, and on the server because Node.js standard library is pretty poor. I shouldn't have to use a third party library just to parse a multipart http request or work with cookies...

Go in that domain is just examplary. The std lib even comes with a Go parser, which is just invaluable for implementing code analysis tools, and it's very easy to do so.
Just as an example compared to the neighbour country:

The base model Y price in Norway is 534'000 NOK (~52'000€) while in Sweden 719'900 SEK (~70'700€).

For non EV cars it's usually the other way round.
Is that a real problem? Foreign intelligence services are certainly doing a lot of crap online but it's not clear whether they've actually accomplished anything. Maybe they're just wasting resources?

64 bit adoption was far faster. A mere decade after x86_64 was available, just about the entire consumer market switched. The last barely-mainstream 32bit processors were of the Intel Atom line (for notebook), and that ended about a decade ago. Microsoft's backward compatibility guarantee makes the timeline look much longer than it actually is.

I think we can all agree we vehemently disagree with people who threaten our existence. We still do not have a right to inflict physical violence upon those who are voicing their opinions, no matter how vile they are. Now, of course you may be rightfully upset and unwind, but that is not a protected right.

If you disagree with the above, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding of the intentions of the first amendment to the US constitution.
This sums up exactly my experience as well. Our library used to use Overdrive but switched to Libby (Or maybe Overdrive became Libby?). I can see why, it's nice and fancy looking, but it seems like I can't find my holds every single time for some reason. I constantly open the worthless chat pane.
Could build full blown apps with it, but database are a problem. Calling to a central database from all over the world wouldn't work that well, but using something like DynamoDB Global Tables would work great.

Congratulations, you have discovered reactionary politics. When people feel like society is not going right and that they're missing something that abstractly they had at some point in the past, you get mindsets like these.
The photos could simply be misattributed in terms of date (Bedouins in various places had this sort of lifestyle well into the 20th century, AIUI).

Cars are very heavily taxed in Norway. The EV's are barely taxed at all. A Tesla Model 3 is close to the cheapest new car you can buy.

A few things come to mind. Rust has the potential to be fast... VERY fast. It also can be very safe. Pretty much everything in Rust utilizes the Result type (an Either Monad that causes Errors/Exceptions to become first-class citizens). It compiles to a single binary. Many of the packages in the ecosystem are very high-quality (Serde for example).

Even still, this doesn't mean anyone should drop what they're doing and migrate all their code to Rust! If you're a Ruby dev (especially if you do Rails) and you're making a living churning out apps with your good old friends like Devise, RSpec, etc. Rust is probably not the thing that'll really wow you. It _can_ do web, and do it REALLY well. But the experience is very different. (Actix/Rocket)
