There's nothing really magical about the tire foam that is Tesla specific. Shops should be able to fix them by cutting out a piece, but some don't want to for one reason or another.

I definitely would try to avoid going to the service center for it. Discount Tire tends to be better.
For me, lab grown meat can't come soon enough. I've reduced my meat consumption, but I really do enjoy it, and don't like the idea of giving it up entirely.
If you don't mind me peppering you with questions...

+ Would it have been better if remote sessions were smaller? Eg 1 on 1 or groups of 3?

+ How much did the remote software itself become a problem? Latency, tech issues, bad resolution?

+ Did you feel the content was suitable and tailored for remote learning?
Might be an unpopular opinion but if you have a connection that exists only via social media and not at least via phone calling or some other more personal forms of communication too, its not much of a real connection.
Loops are intuitive and easy to understand, because they are concrete. They can also be cluttered and hard to read due to all the required bookkeeping.

For simple loops, I prefer something like map/filter/fold when appropriate. I try to avoid chaining them, because that often turns the code impossible to understand and makes me feel stupid. If the loop can't be modeled naturally as a higher-order function, an iterator-based loop is easier to read than an index-based loop, which is better than tail recursion.

With complex loops, there is no way around concrete loops with comments describing the invariants and what each part of the iteration does.

Many problems can be modeled naturally with recursion. Such problems are particularly common with graphs. However, you should never use explicit language-level recursion unless you can guarantee that recursion depth will be small. It's easy to get a stack overflow, so recursion should usually mean a loop with an explicit stack of states.
Don't disagree but tbf he also said:

> Lack of any one of these points isn’t the end of the world, but at the present moment, Jekyll lacks ALL of them. That’s a real problem.

I think the point is that most projects will engage with the public in at least some of these ways.
Classic. Absolutely fabulous when this happens.

Just want to nuke everything to oblivion.

But there is hope, sometimes it can be better to inherit badly written repetitive & copy-pasted code, rather than badly written abstractions.

Badly written abstractions can be really hard to get out of years later because it tends to be viral all over the project, however when there are no abstractions at all, you can decide them right now, you are in charge. Bit by bit you can unwind this mess to something grander, to your own creation. Good luck. Praying the PHP prayer for you.
The $15k is after a "core charge" of ~$10k (iirc)

It generally is, but in this case the insurance paid for it. I'd think they would be the ones that could do that.
I use dark themes with pure black backgrounds precisely because it maximizes contrast and increases accessibility. I don't understand your dislike for them and desire to eradicate them, especially when they can exist alongside grey dark themes (as is commonly the case with Android apps).
"Meanwhile there's practically no tradeoff to writing functional code in an imperative language."

I would have to disagree with you there. It partly depends on what you mean, but I quickly give up on functional solutions in, say, Javascript (despite Javascript technically having all the bits I'd need!) just because of the lack of immutable data structures and cheap copying. Not to mention the constant pain point of asking "does this modify in place, or does it return a new" when dealing even with the standard library, let alone -user- code. I either need a library like Immutable.js, or I need to jump through hoops that are both not ergonomic, AND have performance penalties, or I embrace mutation (and at that point frequently rule out a fully recursive approach because the bookkeeping involved far outweighs any benefit).
DOS on 386ex is still used on old style taxi meters and eftpos terminals that are still being made today. The near real-time support means that even the cheapest processor can read things like the pulses from the odometer without any misses, the version of DOS used is kilobytes in size so the components needed cost next to nothing and it boots up instantly (partly because the bios for the 386ex jumps straight into DOS without the memory and drive checks that a full blown x86 bios has).

Sure you can also get a different embedded solution but you're going to be writing bare metal. DOS is a nice step up for these very low level use cases and very easy to develop for.
I'm relatively an FP newbie, and I have a few questions.

1. I've never seen the "pipe" notation you talk about in any lang except bash, which is not an FP right? In which languages does "|" denote function application?

2. Aren't dependent types orthogonal to whether a language is functional? Just to make sure we're on the same page on what dependent types mean, I wanna give a example (a contrived one, sorry) of dependent types in Python.

from typing import overload, Literal

@overload
def str_if_zero(num: Literal[0]) -> str: ...
@overload
def str_if_zero(num: int) -> int: ...

def str_if_zero(num: int) -> int | str:
if num == 0:
return "That's a zero"

Teaching your children to reason and think as independent agents is a most wonderful gift. It seems like mass education is often aimed at _increasing_ groupthink.
I don't see this as being about group size or risk. Rather, I see it as being about resources.

There is one group who are consuming medical resources in such a way that it is limiting access for others. And the reason for this consumption is largely a personal decision to not take precautions that would prevent such consumption.

If 'gang banging' or any other elective activity (or lack thereof) were resulting in a similar situation, I think it would be right to explore the idea of limiting access for those making such decisions to ensure access for others.

That's attractive for motivated parents with the time to design a curriculum and work with their children, or at least evaluate their children's learning. The reality is that most American parents are working at least one job each for part of the day, sometimes even two. Moreover there are a lot of kids who come from essentially broken families. A $10-20k voucher system only helps if there's a public backstop to help these kids not fall through the cracks. I agree that the current system is fairly asinine, but we'd need more than a simple voucher/payout system.
These are all great points. Something else I would add to the list is that older software would often run using a busy loop[0]. This was ‘fine’ on contemporaneous CPUs that didn’t have any low-power modes, but on a modern CPU it means that older software will use 100% of one CPU core and force it to stay running at its maximum frequency while doing no work at all.

Gavin Wood – The invisible giant behind Ethereum
Anecdotally, last year when we got to see the daily schoolwork our 1st grader was asked to do we were shocked with how much below his skill level the assignments were (at our 10/10 school). We can’t do homeschooling for various reasons but it really made us reconsider if there is a way we could make it happen. Perhaps some of this increase is parents getting a close look at what their kids are learning.

The thing I love about Jekyll and other SSGs is being able to build my site into a bunch of static files and put every single one of those files on my own server, on IPFS, or even just for offline viewing, so there's no need to leak requests to the Cloudflares/Amazons/Googles of the world.

Meanwhile "the Jamstack" seems to be the exact opposite of that, a privacy nightmare all about gluing together micro-APIs that I have to keep paying for forever. I could wake up one day and find that my """static""" site is suddenly missing all its images because Cloudinary is having an outage or whatever. Why would I want to subject my readers to this, much less myself?
In 1921, Wittgenstein was fresh off the completion of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Wittgenstein was fresh out out of a POW camp. He wrote the Tractatus living within the horrors of war. Working in a rural school was abandoning his training as an aeronautical engineer. It was abandoning his life as scion of a wealthy urban family that commissioned Klimt for family portraits and a Piano Concerto for the Left Hand for his brother.

Silence?

He was an artilleryman.
That's fair. Having to set up a Ruby installation to run a utility just isn't fun. Especially when the expectation is that you don't use the system-provided Ruby. You're supposed to go use a Ruby version manager and set all of that up. And that rough experience can contribute to its death, for sure. I just don't think "has few commits in the last month" is a great reason to declare a project as dead, especially one providing the backbone of GitHub Pages.
I'm sure that is a thing, but my friends are not that exciting. We are just privacy lunatics and old fuddy duddies that study the behavior of corporations, governments and others. We postulate what countermeasures could be enacted to minimize the sprawling intrusive nature of the internet into our lives. We always seem to reach the same conclusion as Joshua.

Ok, so apparently one needs to account for inrush current (aka "locked rotor current"), the head space needed for that put me over the second smallest generator power output. The next one up from that isn't made any more and the one up from that one (16kW) has a 12 month lead time. Popular choice apparently. That's how I ended up with 22kW. On the plus side, it's plenty to run everything simultaneously with room for adding a freezer later and some other thing later. Admittedly that's pretty comfy, but I needed something quick and decent to run family member's life support systems.

Nope, how about you just buy insurance outside of the workplace like any other thing.
Doesn't change my point though that a BV is an unfair comparison to an LLC.

Also your threshold of 100K does not align with my accountant's, who said it was at least 200K to justify the added overhead.
Man that is sort of mind blowing. I would have thought there was often basic maintenance for .. something.

Shouldn't you have rotated your tires a few times at least?

Fortran's array syntax isn't really all that common in HPC codes, in my experience. The initial implementations in the 90's weren't great, and then things got themselves into a death spiral of HPC codes avoiding features that weren't performance-portable and compiler vendors avoiding work on features that weren't essential to current HPC applications.

(This has been a repeated pattern in Fortran since then, too, unfortunately. J3 invents something, often with flaws that go unnoticed until somebody tries to implement it; compilers don't invest in as-yet unused features, especially flawed ones; codes don't use them because they're not portable, or not performance-portable; repeat. DO CONCURRENT is the latest example -- J3 defined it as a serial construct and included semantics that can preclude parallelization...)
That comes from a privileged point of view. People with little skills will be coerced to give up these things and the cost will be shifted on other people.
The US situation with hospital capacity has little to do with lockdown measures, and far more to do with the insufficient vaccination rate. People who chose not to get vaccinated are now preventing others from getting treatment.

Signal tells you outright when someone's key has changed, though. It's usually pretty trivial to establish that the original conversation is authentic when you're just talking with people you know in real life (where an impersonation attempt would likely fail for numerous reasons), and you can assume that device is still theirs until their key changes.

I can’t agree with this more.

I also think it’s tragic that “CRT” has been turned into an ideology. It’s a useful lens for looking at any given problem, institution, system. But it’s NOT the gospel of truth. The net result is that we can’t use it to help us because either you can’t question the religion, or you refuse to engage with it entirely.
I'm a hobbyist dog trainer with my dogs and it's amazing how effective positive reinforcement is. These cows were trained to pee in a location with treat training, same goes for dogs. It's about telling them what you want them to do, reinforcing the behaviors you like and redirecting the ones you dislike. I'm not surprised at all that the cows are capable of this.

The masterclass of clicker training seems to be chickens. [1] From what I've heard of it, they don't understand positive punishment, so you only have positive reinforcement, and they're kinda dense. Still, with treat training they can learn to do some impressive tricks.

No, combinators.
I think part of the problem is the market, for some markets. The new law would not affect NYC or dense urban areas because there is lots of order liquidity there. But what about rural Pennsylvania? (Ask me how I know? Hint: management consulting air dropped to remote client location)

When i'm in rural areas, there are often no taxis and one will show up an hour after you call, maybe. Without order liquidity, it is infeasible to maintain supply. Which company (or person) would stand ready to ride just in case an order came thru once every 4 or 5 hours?

The current market response to this is simply not supporting the market. The alternative is Uber where presumably the person is doing their yard work and jumps and does a ride if one happens to pop up. I cannot imagine Uber will sponsor idle wages in rural regions where you get an order or two a day.

Is this because of a lack of competition from other legacy manufacturers, Tesla is being uniquely greedy, or a mix of both?

An unfortunate blemish on her record is her handling of `wasm-pack`.

She worked to ensure it become a critical part of the Rust/Wasm ecosystem and then silently stopped maintaining it. For most of 2020 / 2021 `wasm-pack` was not updated with pull requests and security fixes because Ashley did not transfer publish rights.

Even though `wasm-pack` became unusable for many users it was still described as necessary in the official Rust / Wasm tutorials. Likely this set back the Rust/Wasm ecosystem by discouraging many new members.

It would have been far better if she just spoke up and asked for help.

It seems she wanted to ignore a problem she didn't want to deal with, which I can relate to, but that's not a good quality in an executive director.

> A points-based immigration program would allow the country to optimize along any number of axes: under-represented minorities, skills, etc.

That's what the cap is for.

> Canada brings in 3x as many immigrants per capita as the US does. It's brought in 1% of its population each year for roughly the last 100 years - so the equivalent of 3-4M green cards per year.

Almost every week there's a thread with Canadian Engineers whining about low pay. How are these out of control immigration quotas helping them out?
Most definitely it's fixed in OpenRA. I have not heard good comments about remaster other than graphics due to them not addressing mechanics/gameplay issues such as balance.
No certs have helped me get a job, but the general rule of certs is the same ol' supply demand. The more people that have a particular cert, the less valuable it will be, because it'll mean that it's that much easier to obtain.

And companies want more people certified in their tech so over time, they do ease up on requirements like applied knowledge and experience, etc.
I don't really want to take advice from a guy that can't tell the difference between break and brake when it comes down to a ticking time bomb of energy that can literally burn down your house when it charges poorly.

Why doesn't Canada just... compete?
I get what you mean, but there is a key difference and I think that difference is driving a good portion of then for/against comments in this thread and elsewhere. The entirety of the Rust Principles, etc, seems to stem from the belief, supported by Niko in the Principles blog post and others by wording, that Rust is not just a programming language, but is a ‘community’. I can find no analogue in the C++ Committee, or user base generally. C++ is a programming language that individuals and groups use to make software, full stop. This difference leads to arguments/stances/positions that have very little to do with the material definition of the technological tool and more to do with some loosely defined feelings of ‘community’. The C++ Committee story was primarily about Google and other large corporate interests advocating a large techno local change in the language to benefit their use case with no input or consideration for other users of the tool, but this seems to be primarily focused on feelings of non-community control and business structuring. Maybe I’m wrong and Amazon is having an influence on Rust, the programming language, that disregards fit for purpose for non-Amazon developers, but I’d need to see something to support that before your comparison is a better fit.

I disagree a lot. I don’t think using AWS Tenets was done nefariously.. but it has an important implication on the Rust community as a whole.

Engineers are really relying on the Rust Foundation to do right by them, and by adopting Amazon or other big tech company principles it’s spitting in the face of engineers who don’t trust them and adding the potential for bias in decision making of the foundation.

I’m hopeful that the Amazon contributors will understand this and show full support.
