I don’t think you understand what the project is.

It’s not an independent library. The plan is for it to take over parsing throughout the compiler. Numerous performance improvements that would impact both tooling and the compiler are listed as goals.
Possibly one of them. Swift has just generally had a confusing, lopsided development cycle that has made it extremely hard to build larger/more-abstracted systems on top of it. I'm not quite so sure what breakage looks like these days, but the language only got null-checking a few months ago. I do hope they lay out more groundwork before making the push to non-Apple platforms.
> So what about when you can only see half of the car? Like when it’s changing lanes or pulling out of a parking spot? You know, like those times when a signal is MOST useful?

You either see which side of the car you're seeing, or you don't and the shape of the light doesn't matter. When you drive, you don't interpret the light of the turn signal, you interpret where it is.

For me that's one thing that looks stupid on paper but that doesn't matter in real life with all the context we have when driving.
I'm not a huge fan of async/await (though I have to write a fair amount of it) but that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The way to avoid "sync-over-async" deadlocks is to not do sync-over-async, i.e. don't call blocking methods/properties like Wait() and Result on tasks from threadpool threads - it's not what they're for (though they have valid, necessary uses and therefore can't simply be removed).

I've never written code that's deadlocked in this way. I've fixed a ton of such deadlocks, though, and every one boils down to somebody not following this simple rule, and more generally not thinking clearly about what their multithreaded code will actually do when it runs. (Encouraging people to be sloppy in their thinking about these issues is one of the reasons I mildly dislike C#'s concurrency facilities - but nonetheless it's perfectly possible to write code with them that isn't riddled with deadlocks.)
FWIW, there are companies already doing this:

With the complete lack of competent and high quality public transportation options in California, I'm not sure "targeting the fleet" would be where I spend most of my effort.

Any vehicle that is tooling around empty is polluting. You've just moved the pollution from the vehicle to whatever source is powering the grid. Even if it was fully renewable that still would not a good excuse to entirely ignore efficiency in these "full vehicle for a single rider" transportation options.
That question doesn't make any sense in a turn-based game.
I drive a lot, thanks. If you can prove me level-5 or even very good level 4 autonomous driving, and that a computational driver makes radically fewer fatal mistakes than a human, then I'm with you. In other words, if you can satisfy a good regulatory regime like the say, airplanes or drugs, then great.

Short of that, it's a luxury and a danger.
You nailed it. I used TECO, first on the DECWriters (which printed on paper) and later on the ADM-3A's using TECO with a TECO macro that turned it into a screen editor. My editor today (microEmacs) is really not much different from that. A couple ASR-33s were available, but I wouldn't use them as they were soooo slooooooow. There was a Tektronix terminal with the green screen storage tube, too, but being a storage tube made it unsuitable for screen editing and playing Empire.

I'd often print a listing, and take it back to the dorm and go over it with a pencil making changes that I'd later type in. I usually was at the Jorgenson computer center in the wee hours of the morning when terminals were available and the PDP-10 wasn't slowed to glacial speeds by everyone else using it.

On Christmas vacation, I'd fill spiral notebooks with handwritten code I'd type in when I got back to campus.

I don't write code in pencil anymore, but I often do work it out in my head while jogging.

I don't recall when lower case was available, but Empire being all in upper case certainly suggests it was not when I wrote it.
> that should be the priority for the automotive industry, not electrification

Why on earth would that be? I see electrification as a much more important issue than “self driving” and it’s an actual proven technology. There are no true L4 or L5 implementations without huge asterisks (works geofenced in sunny weather with a human remote driver to bail it out) so it would be insanity to mandate a still mostly fictitious technology

Zero interest in 'human rights and democracy', lots of interests in oilfields, pipelines, military sales contracts, etc.

You can go to the cable archive and type 'human rights' in the search box and see this isn't remotely true. Whatever one might think of US diplomacy and its goals, the cables are mostly of historical interest and cause for mild embarrassment. They don't really show some diabolically clever empire cynically manipulating the world. They mostly show it pursuing its publicly stated goals and interests - one can have a pretty dim view of these goals and interests but you don't need the cables to develop or support that viewpoint.

optimizing for apm and optimizing for productivity are not remotely the same thing. this reminds me of the culture around parsing in mmos except without a discrete value like dps that is actually somewhat meaningful.

honestly the best thing you could do to increase this kind of canned 'productivity' is to give employees the tools to track their own private metrics and hire obsessive no-lifers who like making the numbers go up.
I'd assume the player who could not complete their turn would be the losing player.
The nature of F1 lends itself to this highlight model, as you can get 90% of the experience of a race from the 10 minutes of highlights extracted from 1.5hours of racing.
Consider yourself fortunate to have (forgive the assumption!) never worked in a ruby codebase that uses eventmachine or promise.rb. It’s less common than in some other languages but ruby is perfectly capable of a callback/promise-based model for performing async io or query batching, for example. And it creates exactly the “function color” problem that this article describes.
My college friend was fatally wounded in a Tesla. From time to time I go on Tesla's forum and was always surprised to see discussions there heavily leaned toward "Pilot Error" on any Tesla self-driving related accident. Like in what zones or some specific type of roads you should not enable FSD, if driver failed to remember then it's pilot error. I'm always confused about the *F* in FSD.
A few years back I had some experience using this tool to migrate a MySQL database to a PostgreSQL. As far as I remember it was quite pleasant.

I had the some trouble with MySQL accepting invalid dates (like 0000-00-00) while Postgres rejects such dates. However, there was an option to convert such dates to NULL which saved the day.

Also you have to manually rewrite your views. Since we had a lot and also very complicated views I ended up materializing each MySQL view, manually porting it to Postgres and then comparing the result. That worked quite well.
I’ve been in infosec since the 90’s, moving slowly has killed way more companies than any security issues.

While that's true often these types of weak observational studies are needed in order to fund more robust randomized and controlled studies which tend to be far more expensive and need some even low-quality evidence to justify.

In this case the evidence is particularly weak as even the paper notes almost every attempt at retrospective randomization or control makes the association basically disappear.
A little bit off-topic, but still related: I could imagine the Flix language being a good fit for that use case.

It has first-class Datalog constraints as a language feature!

As being a FP language it's of course good at modeling data. At the same time it's fast enough for heavy tasks: It runs on the JVM, having also access to its rich ecosystem.

I'd agree if it works as advertised. Level 5 or very close to it is the key. No system has shown that, much less Tesla's. In the meantime, doing a live experiment with 3,000+ pound machines moving at 30+ mph seems like a bad idea.

Doesn't matter. Part of the solutions we're most likely to adopt for the climate crisis involves putting the majority of the population under some form of energy austerity. One of the pushes in of the green and urbanist movements is the phasing out of personal vehicles in favor of shared and public transportation infrastructure.

Achieving this goal necessitates that the use of personal vehicles become uneconomic for the masses. Whether or not new infrastructure is built, or public transport becomes pleasant or viable, this goal is eminently achievable through the use of regulatory targets.
Somehow, this thought has me think of a hypothetical Agatha Christie novel.
Result: night-time accidents, especially in fog. Drivers will see a single flashing taillight arrow and make incorrect assumptions. Very severe and fatal collisions and consequential lawsuits will ensue. Cooper will pay, pay, pay. They will issue recalls and beg for leniency. But there is no doubt they f*cked this design.

If one of the two tail lights and/or a brake light(s) is/are out then the situation will only be worse.

I'd short Cooper stock were I an investor. This will cost them a pretty penny.

>> Mini has not heard any concerns from customers regarding the rear turn indicators

>I wouldn't expect them to: they cannot see their own turn signal lights while driving.

>If they happen to be behind another Mini, they already know about it

The second sentence indicates that they would not inform Mini of any concerns because they are not aware there should be any concerns.

The third sentence indicates that they would know if there were any possible concerns because they own a Mini.

I’d agree with you but they’ve had union jacks in the headlights forever in this exact configuration. The only difference this time is they’ve tweaked what parts of the Union Jack is lit which makes it look more like an arrow.

It’s not a good headlight design but it’s certainly not the worst either. There’s a zillion examples of really shitty tail light design on American cars in particular.

This is a pretty clickbait article and I usually like Jalopnik.
Yes, as they can no longer complete the current turn. Traditionally chess is played with time limits, so it makes sense that death causes the current turn, and only the current turn, player to lose.

A lot of post are just copy&paste of whatever press release reach the desk, independently of the owner of the site. More details in the classic article by pg: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
checkmate (n.) mid-14c., in chess, said of a king when it is in check and cannot escape it, from Old French eschec mat (Modern French échec et mat), which (with Spanish jaque y mate, Italian scacco-matto) is from Arabic shah mat "the king died" (see check (n.1)), which according to Barnhart is a misinterpretation of Persian mat "be astonished" as mata "to die," mat "he is dead." Hence Persian shah mat, if it is the ultimate source of the word, would be literally "the king is left helpless, the king is stumped."

If checkmate is the death of the Shah, death is a common ending. If you also consider the other pieces it's usually a massacre.

I agree! In fact, I’m sick of red meaning stop, and green meaning go for traffic lights. After all, this is redundant information, we all know the arrangement. Why not swap up the colors for fun?

This idea is only slightly worse than using wrong-pointing arrows for turn signals.
We estimate our Jira tickets in t-shirt sizes:

- XS = +- 1 day of work

- S = +- a few days of work

- M = less than 1 sprint (= 2 weeks)

- L = a few sprints of work

- XL = months of work
When debugging an agile process I'd distinguish two kinds of "out of control" conditions:

(1) Individual sprints more-or-less hit their goals. Maybe you do 80% of what you expected to do consistently, but there never seems to be a last sprint. (e.g. new requirements keep coming up, new problems get discovered, etc.)

(2) Each sprint is a disaster. You deliver 20 or 30% of what you expected in the sprint.

If you ask the people in the team and other stakeholders you might even find that some believe (1) is the case, others believe (2) is the case.

I would look the following mismatch: The conventional sprint planning process assumes the work is a big bucket of punchclock time where there are no dependency orders, one team member can do the work of another team member, etc.

In some cases this is close to the truth, in other cases it is nowhere near the truth.

For instance if you plan to have work implemented and tested within the boundary of one sprint there is a point at which the work is sent over the wall to the tester. I worked on one project for which each iteration contained a machine learning model that took two days to train (most of this process happened outside "punchclock time") If everything went right you could start two days before the end of the sprint and have a model, but often things didn't go right and if you really wanted the sprint to succeed you would want to start training the model as early as you can, maybe even over the first weekend.

If wallclock time and temporal dependencies are the real issue you have to address that.
Does this imply killing the opponent is a viable strategy in chess?
> feel entitled to criticize specialists who have dedicated their lives to studying a phenomenon, just because they manage to catch one or two words of vocabulary, is... frustrating

I think "feel entitled" is the wrong way to think of this. People's skepticism of scientific experts or scientific facts is a failure of both journalism and science:

1. Science journalism is almost universally terrible, so people already get sold half truths and sometimes even outright falsehoods from allegedly reputable sources. Messaging needs dramatic improvement.

2. The replication crisis has shown that up to 50% of published results in medicine can't be replicated (and up to 66% in social sciences), and there are virtually no incentives to replicate or publish negative results, and too many incentives to data mine/p-hack and publish sensationalized results. There are now some efforts towards correcting this, but it's only just beginning.

Depending on the field and the topic, someone questioning expert advice actually has a coin flip's chance of being right and the expert wrong.

> Now, the solution is of course not blind trust. It's probably making sure that more laypeople have a clue about science

I don't think that will fix anything. Having a clue about how science should work and then seeing it's failures only validates science skepticism.

For example, Fauci said early in the pandemic that people had no reason to wear masks, and in fact, that mask wearing could be worse than not wearing them. He later publicly admitted that he lied to allegedly avoid PPE shortages. So a public health official whose duty was to convey accurate scientific information admitted he lied to the public, thus breaking public trust. Exactly what additional knowledge about science do you think will correct this violation of public trust?

You see science is not the problem here, but journalist' and scientist' public conduct is the problem.

Why would it mean you do all the housework and your job doesn’t matter? That’s only the case if your partner thinks your job doesn’t matter. It’s not a function of income difference, it’s a function of how much your spouse supports you in your endeavors.

You can still be equal partners even with vastly disparate incomes simply by treating each other as equals. It’s entirely in your control, as a couple.

If my wife wanted to work a job that earns a fraction of what mine does, I’d still split all the housework equitably because she is my equal no matter what job she works.
Nah, you're projecting a black-and-white world view. Statistically speaking, some men would vote for men, some would vote for women, some women would vote for men and some would vote for women, and overall it would average out to around half and half representation.

To be clear, it's not bad for an all-men or all-women parliament to exist in a high functioning democracy. It's statistically possible, just highly unlikely. If we look at a large timescale and there's a lopsided distribution the majority of time, or highly lopsided spikes for short periods of time, that sugggests that there are confounding factors that don't align with democratic idealism.
