This Popular Mechanics article sucks, as you no doubt guessed without clicking on it.

How do these writers sleep at night.

"Yeah, so I start my day -- I take the collective work of several brilliant people, and then I butcher it to fit in a few paragraphs between adspace and collect my paycheck. It's a good life."

Gross.

You know they can't have read the paper they're writing about. Because if they bothered to read the paper, it would take up the majority of their workday and they'd have no time to write anything.

Also not sure how believable it is that someone academically talented enough to digest that paper is working as a writer for Pop Mechanics.
Just be careful, as you can see from this article it might not be the case. Better to be on the lookout and don’t assume things :)
> The issue really comes down to that some people think its a waste of energy and some people do not.

That's not the only issue, another is how BC did not really deliver on what it originally promised.

Instead, the whole cryptomarket seems to have simply turned a massive speculative market with more manipulation going on than any other financial market.

So all these high and noble goals crypto originally started out on, have turned into a whole bunch of people just trying to make the largest profits, even if that means defrauding a whole bunch of people of their savings.
Thats part of the snake oil. The dating site spent X dollars on ads and the expect people to see them no matter what. Google wants to pretend they have something better than simple TV/Radio mass advertisement campaigns but they don't.

The idea of targeted/effective/meaningful ads and taking as much as you can in advertising dollars from a customer are fundamentally at odds with each other.

I'm sorry, what ?? Did i read this correctly ? Are they representing code using either mutable or immutable structures depending on whether the sourcecode has copyright or not ?

I'm really confused...

Heh, what's this? You can't answer this question off the top of your head after I spent 2 hours purposefully researching obscure edge cases to craft it? I guess you're not a real engineer. Did you even pass the 101 courses? No, no, no... You're no fit for us here. You see, some of us have to actually work for a living. Try pulling yourself up by the bootstraps next time, kiddo!
Sorry about the wall of text. I tried not to favor anyone's "side".

As for America hating. No. Those who are uncritical of their government are doing no one any favor. E.g., if we had more people speaking up critically against US policies abroad, 911 probably would never have happened.

It will be the uncritical patriots who will allow America to be lead to ruin.
I think part of the reason people don’t fight for climate change is that they’d know the planet will recover… if there are few enough people on it.

They assume that they or their defendants will be one of the survivors so there’s nothing to worry about.

It’s the same issue with trying to prevent war when both sides think they can win. Sure there’s hardship but if you win didn’t you come out ahead? No one considers the trauma of the generation that has to actually do the fighting.
> In what way is Matt Levine an influencer?

You could argue his job is influencing people.

> He’s a salaried columnist for a news organization.

In other words, he gets paid to influence people on behalf of a major news publication.

I posit that "influencer" is the general term for celebrities, politicians, journalists, priests, etc. Matt Levine is a traditional media influencer. The pope is a religious influencer. Biden is a political influencer. So on and so forth. The modern social media influencers are really independent influencers as they don't belong to a corporate, political or religious entity.
> why are they not taking the liability of the cars.

Because that's still incredibly costly. We as a society care greatly about a decrease in net risk, but that doesn't mean that net risk is small enough for one party to bear.

Especially this part. Spotify in particular is bad this way, with the artists getting a nearly invisibly small slice of the money. Youtube isn't much better. Reduce the friction that prevents me from giving my money directly to the artists to support their work and I'd be a much bigger paying consumer of online media.
Seeking fame is normal, but fame as the goal was probably not the main goal for most celebs. A good actor wants to make good movies. If he is just in for the fame, he likely never can put the effort behind it, if he does not love acting in the first place.
First, do what you need to get the car under control.

Then, switch on the hazards so the driver behind you gets a heads up. Obviously you don’t risk crashing fumbling for the hazards.

Particularly useful on rural roads with many turns where the slowdown really might be surprising, or on off ramps where the car behind you might not have arrived yet.
I don't understand, could you explain?

Edit: Ah, you mean because of mining; true, makes sense.
There a very different techniques of cell culture. For cultured meat for example, the texture is very important which makes it expensive as you have to grow large groups of cells. If that is not necessary here, it will be much cheaper.

her after.” The Guccifer 2.0 persona responded, “ok . . . i see.” WikiLeaks also explained, “we

> Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance is **designed to steer a Tesla vehicle back into the driving lane** if our system detects that it is departing its lane and **there could be a collision, or if the car is close to the edge of the road**.

And again, AP acted as a crutch that an intoxicated driver attempted to lean on.

Now an intoxicated driver could have decided to drive without the crutch... but emergency lane departure avoidance would have kicked in when they passed out and centered the vehicle to a stop instead of trying to maintain a certain speed.

(And let's head-off the straw-man here, no I'm not blaming AP for an intoxicated driver but I am stating the reality, that AP. Autopilot. Is marketed in a way that causes sober people to think of it as a co-pilot, let alone drunk people)

AP literally disengages when off the happy path, it's other safety features that help when things go wrong.

It's amazing that people still haven't caught onto this.

> Sadly it is only part of the story... All this situation happened due to the changed in your lib and unwillingness (initially) to change API, and when you've did - it was too late. Any cases like that could be easily solved by message to the author, before trying to go publicly

> We just have to all remember how you copied colorette from kleur. Seem everyone in the ansi space all copying from each other. Just congratulate nanocolors — spotting a perf boost where no one else did. Took the best of all worlds.

When you make something open-source, you give others free right to copy your work and release their own derivative version. That’s basically the point of open-source. And this version might become more popular and yours.

BUT, if you copy someone else’s work you NEED to give them attribution. Which is what nanocolors did wrong.

GitHub should add a feature which lets you attribute various parts of your code to other open-source projects (or better, auto-attributes them for you). And then when a project gains reputation it’s attributed projects gain some also. This is already done with forks / packages, but it could be more explicit and for vendor dependencies and regions of code as well.
I think the answer lies in your last paragraph, but your comment made me think: Perhaps Lambda functions are resilient because they're:

- scope constrained

- surrounded by APIs only (e.g. no cheating by having a whole POSIX system)

- infrastructure is maintained solely by a giant company that you pay to not have to think about it

I haven't used any "serverless" stuff, so I don't really know.

Per the article's recommendation, I have noticed at work that resilient software is often a 400 line python script with no other dependencies; or, a medium sized piece of C++ infrastructure that depends only on the OS, the compiler, and a hand-written build system.

Write things down. Revisit them. By this process you will discover that you were not the person you were even five minutes ago. Take that to heart.

Don't be a jerk. Moreover, don't pretend you don't know what a jerk is. Taking pride in being an ass is slim pickings indeed.

Measure twice, cut once. And measure from different directions if you can.

To tell good from evil, give it power. Evil keeps power for itself. Good gives power back to you.

It's OK to walk out of a bad movie or drop a boring book. Life's too short to waste on things that aren't for you.

That said, what was boring at nineteen might be enthralling at thirty-six. Allow for the possibility that you have evolved.

Existence is a learning experience, not a morality play.

A difficult truth is always better than an easy joy, but that doesn't mean an ice cream cone after dinner is a sin.

Suffering is private. Never judge someone else for being in less pain than you, or more pain than you.

Break the rules rather than do anything outright barbarous, but also own the consequences of doing so.

There is always something worthwhile in the present moment, even if seems like a terrible moment. You owe it to yourself to find it.

Shared taste is not necessarily an indicator of shared values. Divergent taste is not necessarily an indicator of divergent values.

Don't worry about what other people think of you. But you are permitted to defray this rule if the people in question cut your paychecks. Just try not to defray it forever.

Be yourself, but not to the extent that you're living all over the guy next to you.

Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral. (attributed to Melvin Kranzberg)

Money can't buy happiness. It can buy remarkable simulations of it that are good enough to fool the inattentive. Don't be one of those dopes. Insist on the real thing, the one that has no pricetag.

Never confuse a bid for immortality with the childish fear of death.

Remember: they can kill you, they can besmirch your name, they can destroy everything you've ever done and ruin the lives of everyone you've ever loved, but that's all. (Paraphrased from Henry Rollins)

Never strong-arm anyone else into learning any of this. They have to get it for themselves.

That's not Bitcoin but just humans in general.
Finns "love" light roasts because they're accustomed to it (except many of younger generations) and why they're accustomed is supposedly because a long time ago coffee was expensive and if you roasted it only a little you would obtain more coffee when measured in plain volume―with no regard to the actual taste.

I don't know how much of that is true but most typical Finnish blends are light, bland, and bitter (eventhough they're marketed as smooth...) but also cheap. The labels calling brands "finest quality" in Finland is a very relative matter: for decades the "finest" was probably something that any country with a hint of a coffee culture would've called crap.

I also don't know if I'm young enough but I've always like dark roasts so the general kind doesn't even taste like coffee in my mouth. Even as recently as maybe 20 years ago there were only one or two semi-dark roasts on the market: the situation has improved remarkably, however.
I'm not sure what you're arguing in terms of acceptable risk. Biotech is incredibly regulated, specifically because the risks are so high, effectively there is very little acceptable risk. In biotech, a patient dying due to your drug is a Big Problem that will at best cause you to put a disclaimer on the package (see Black Box Warning) and at worst immediately end your drug's prospects. We can argue about trade-offs (if you've got terminal cancer, maybe a rare heart event is a worthwhile risk, probably less so if you have a rash), but this is exactly the way it should be.

Self driving cars are a nice luxury, especially in city driving, not something that radically improves our world. You get to read your phone instead of paying attention, and the trade-off is someone might get killed. It's like treating a rash with a drug that could give you a heart attack. That's a far cry from, "with this technology something that took days and $$$$ now takes hours and $" as was the case with all the older examples you listed.

If self driving cars were more like airplanes, I'd have a little more faith. Tesla's marketing BS doesn't inspire me with lots of faith.

At least that seems to have nothing to do with Russia.
In U.K. there’s been some studies on stuff like this.

There is a link between the availability of liquor stores and fast food restaurants near school, and students consuming unhealthy levels of both. (For liquor you just pay some random in the street to buy for you, or you find a store that doesn’t ID). As with many things in life, if you make something convenient, people will use it more.

As a result fast food restaurants and off licences are generally restricted from be built near schools, and for fast food restaurants, also delivering to schools.

Obviously elementary school children are probably to young to be influenced by either, the but the above applies for older age groups.

I don’t think strict zoning is the right approach to solve issues like this, it’s an extremely crude tool for urban planning. But specific, evidence backed (I.e. there’s strong evidence that co-locating these buildings have significant negative impacts on local populations), restrictions on what types of buildings can co-exist seems reasonable.

Here, let me save you some time: the paper that this article is about is a 79-page-long pseudo-scientific apologia for the fine-tuning argument [1], with the universe playing the role of God, but with the persona of a toddler playing around with a Lego set until it gets an arrangement of bricks that produces us because reasons. It's lipstick on a pig. Highly-credentialed lipstick, but still lipstick.

Any serious defense of this idea needs to address one very basic question: what does this theory explain that the anthropic principle does not? On this question the paper is silent. There is one reference to the anthropic principle, and that is just to present the fine-tuning "problem". The paper says nothing else about it. So the entire thing is one giant exercise in question-begging [2].

Taking this news with a grain of salt, with obvious reasons.
Usually there is a buffer where you've noticed a hazard in front and are braking in time. But then your next focus is on what is behind you. Did they notice you braking hard, are the about to hit into you, do you need to move over for them, etc. Hazards just add a bit more warning that red brake lights, because they're so common, can't convey.
It's not "why do designers rarely contribute?", it's that almost only programmers contribute. As to why, I have honestly no idea. These days I would say that it's the culture influencing new people, but I wonder how it started.

It's done afterwards, once you've safely reduced the speed of your vehicle, not during the initial emergency braking.

It's basically a heads up for all the vehicles far behind you that haven't yet noticed a sudden change in the flow of the traffic. Gives them more time to reduce speed without haste.
I'm sympathetic; it would take a very large house to feel "big enough" if someone released four cats into it.
Wow, that is no joke. ansi-colors relies on ansi-blue, which relies on ansi-wrap and makes a single call to ansi-wrap, providing the constants 34 and 39. It’s a couple dozen packages whose sole purpose is to provide a distributed set of constants. That is pretty blatant. On his bio he boasts about having over 1000 open source projects, and I can’t help but think he could have a few useful ones in there that are overshadowed by this embarrassing display of clout-chasing.
Then he should have made a PR, or at the very least retained the commit history to recognize the original programmer's work. That's non-negotiable, because commit history can be essential to understanding breakage in mature libraries. The fact that anyone would feel comfortable erasing it leads me to believe there's an ulterior motive.

I could go through each point, but let's start with Lincoln, you only took half the quote, what he said was:

"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."

The rest of your propaganda falls apart just as easily.
