> In theory, you could actually disable router advertisements on the routers themselves, and run a small daemon that just announces the right information.

I actually investigated the feasibility of something like this - but the way IPv6 RA's work requires they be sent from the link-local address of the router itself, so I'd have to run said daemon on the router itself - at which point I can just write some scripts to modify configuration on event triggers.
One thing that helps me is to play a better chess engine, dialed down to close to my skill level, and play for a bit until I really get stuck. Then I take back a bunch of moves and figure out where I went wrong and why, and then play the game out until I get stuck again. Or I'll go back and try to see if I can find a better way to accomplish my goals. In general, creating a low-risk environment to learn, where I try to compare my original thinking to my later thinking has been key.

I haven't played more than a handful of games since pre-covid times, so I'm back to being pretty clumsy, and just started "rewinding" games again. It seems to help a lot.
It failed because the idea of “the means of production owned by the state” does not work.
There seem to be big appreciation for go language.

How difficult is it to develop a language with (mostly) python syntax while keeping the performance of go?

I guess most people who use python use it because of its aesthetics and might even never heard of the GIL issue in python, so i guess among all languages the python syntax is the most liked one.
Grids should be what, 80% renewables and 20% nuclear base load? It should not matter if renewables are cheaper than nuclear, because 20% base load isn't fungible for renewables to be swapped in. The natural gas / coal base load is not pricing in it's externalities. The only way nuclear should be going away is if the cost of burning fossil fuels as base load AND capturing 100% of it's emissions is less than nuclear... That or massive grid scale batteries, which doesn't seem plausible anytime in the next couple decades.
I think this a little distorted, for a reason that applies to cars too. So let's start there.

You have decided you want a vehicle. You head to the first dealer on your local "Golden Mile" strip. The dealer (because they are nice) starts asking you about what you're looking for. Turns out that you want to be able to haul rocks and drive on mountain forest roads in the snow. Unfortunately, you're at a Honda dealer, and they have nothing for you. You head towards the local Ford dealer but along the way change your mind about what you're looking for. The Ford dealer asks similar questions, but now you're looking for a 50mpg sub-compact with essentially zero maintainance and significant interior space. The Ford dealer grimaces.

Now, getting more realistic, we turn to bicycles. They may (mostly) all have two wheels, pedals, handlebars and a chain, but in reality there's as much of a gap in functionality between an enduro mountain bike and a time trial/triathlon bike as there is between the Ford F150 and a Honda Fit (Jazz for HN's european contingent). And into that gap there are:

* touring bicycles
* commuter/shopping bicycles
* BMX bikes (which some set of young people still seem to like)
* full suspension mountain bikes
* hard-tail mountain/gravel bikes

I own a lot of bicycles, and if you told me that I had to have any of the features you've mentioned above on my custom built carbon tri bike, I'd be angry. Conversely, if you told me that I could not put fenders on my gravel/shopping Surly Straggler, I'd laugh you out of the room. I'm never going to need lights on my full suspension bike, because I never ride it in the dark, and I never need to lock it up. I don't want GPS system Foo on any of my bikes, because I prefer GPS system Bar. Ditto for the speedometer.

Now, is there a market for "the generalist bicycle", perhaps with all or most of the features you've mentioned? Maybe. Visiting western European countries suggests that there could be, but it might be function of urban design, land use, transportation planning etc., and not really a function of the bike itself.

I agree with you that cycling's status as a hobbyist market probably does do something to limit its appeal. I just don't think that the effect is that strong, and the main reasons people don't ride a bicycle is not its confusing which accessories to get.
Teachers doing that taught me about archive files and the protection bit.
> I'm sure Alfred North Whitehead wasn't advocating stuff like not teaching the fundamentals of the why and how we can make these abstractions.

I’m sure he wasn't advocating it so much as recognizing that it was inherently, inevitably, and universally a consequence of progress.
> I'm sure you'll be happy to pay the 30% extra for that service.

if that's how things worked then we wouldn't be having all this commotion. Part of the reason why devs are going after apple is because they /can't/ charge more on iOS compared to other platforms and they /can't/ explicitly state that they have to pay 30% to apple.
It is being shut down due to economics because it is expensive and it can't be run 100% duty cycle any more which makes it unprofitable to run.

The rest is all a smokescreen of one sort or another.

Nuclear is dead on arrival because of cost.
First of all, Facebook is not a utility. No matter what you think, it is literally not classified a utility at this time.

Second, just because governments, companies, or people choose to use it to communicate, does not mean it is a utility. There is a choice and many, many alternatives to Facebook. Utility status is reserved for things like power water and gas, (even internet in many places), as there are physical barriers to choice.

Third, it is not unconstitutional for utilities to ban customers in the United States.
The issue is not Facebook.

The issue is being equipped to handle information forwarded by your FB friends.
Skeptical thinking, the impulse to distrust anecdotes first, the impulse to double check articles by using other news sources:
It's a skill that should be taught to kids early.

I enjoy Facebook to read about what my extended friends and family are doing.
I'm ok with FB showing me ads, even personalized ads, if that is what it takes to use this free service.
I think they were referencing mountain bikes. They are nearly all 1x now.
Sat is a pre-built server and a set of APIs wrapped around Wasmtime, it could theoretically use WAMR as well!
Unfortunately, I think the introduction of electronics via ebikes and other "new" technologies for the bike are diluting that standardisation in my perception.

You would be surprised. My wife's e-bike was stolen without its battery. When she bought a new e-bike (of a different brand), she could just purchase it without a battery and use her old one.

(Lots of e-bikes in Western Europe use Bosch batteries/motors.)
The problem isn't that they can do whatever they want, it's that governments side with them more often than not. It's the existence of laws that protect them instead of protecting their users. Without this government support, their threats wouldn't have any teeth, and so adversarial interoperability would flourish.

What are you doing where you are even dealing with cables? I've never had to do any maintenance on my roadbike myself. I just take it to the shop for a $25 dollar tuneup once a year and the bike remains in perfect working order without any other intervention. I don't even garage the bike. People always seem to complain about maintenance on bikes when justifying crazy brakes or derailleurs, but in my experience bike maintenance is absurdly cheap at most shops to the point where there is no reason to ever see grease on your hands unless you like to do that stuff as a hobby. Like $20 cheap.
Cinder (https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder) has Static Python bundled with it, which is pretty useful for replacing Cython.

The author seems confused about how BK channels relate to tolerance, here he notes that decreased BK channels lead to increased tolerance: "Exposure to alcohol upregulates microRNA (mir-9), which in turn modifies BK mRNA, selectively destabilizing certain types of BK mRNA."

Then later he seems to be stating that decreased BK channels would lead to decreased tolerance: "The consequence of this would then be that the development of alcohol tolerance could be slowed or halted by preventing the modification of BK channels, like by using RNAi to degrade certain types of BK mRNA."

Perhaps he meant "by using RNAi to degrade mir-9". Ignoring the above issues, it seems very hand wavy to say "let's just get this RNA interfering drug into your brain and target this specific BK RNA".
I don't think ReScript is a subset of ReasonML. It's forked language that already has some substantial differences and will keep diverging.

ReScript is very active. ReasonML is dead for quite a while now. I'm pretty sure ReScript will drop ReasonML syntax soon?
Rear radar also exists, Garmin Varia for example. I'd trust a helmet-mounted mirror more. The other thing about this overall vision for bicycles is that everyone has different needs. This sounds like a wishlist for a commuter e-bike, but it's not at all what road cyclists are looking for. And most of this does exist as an integrated package, from various ebike manufacturers. It's just expensive and heavy, and adds a lot of maintenance overhead for not much practical benefit.

They are an easy target. FB scandal stories garner a lot of public interest and so there is a financial incentive for news orgs to dedicate staff to the FB beat. Not enough people care about Reddit, HN, etc. Even Twitter comparatively. They also don't have the same level of influence.

There are obviously issues that FB amplifies but the heart of the problem in my opinion is people. People like information that confirms what they already believe, other people are greedy and like to take advantage people for personal gain. It was easy when FB just had to worry about removing porn and gore. Now the line is much grayer. Half of the people think some piece of content must be removed ASAP and the other half call removing that exact same content censorship.

Well, in many cases they were transitory. You may remember, for example, big stories about a lumber shortage from earlier in the year, until the shortage spontaneously resolved itself in July.
I recommend watching Ben Eater's series on networking. He starts from sending a signal over a basic cable and builds up a networking model from there.

FTD is XML with neater (hopefully) syntax. XML got a lot of things right, XML has XSD for rich data schema definition, Unlike JSON/YML. FTD too has first class data modelling capabilities, you can specify schema for a "record", which is equivalent of struct. And you can have ADT's (which we call or-type). Then we have variables, lists, etc.

If you want to share a data file with someone, FTD is a very compelling alternative to define the schema, represent the data.

Further, XML also has XSLT, which can be used for rendering XML data to arbitrary strings, but is mostly used for creating HTML, so data can be visualised properly.

Unfortunately XML relined on HTML (which in turn relied on CSS and Javascript). With FTD you do not have to mess with such 4 technologies (these are hotchpotch mix, not a well designed whole).

XML was meant to be handwritten, but markdown vs HTML has clearly demonstrated SGML syntax is not great for writing, markdown is.

You will see that authoring types, representing data, and writing prose is really pleasant in FTD compared to all of them.

Check out this FTD fiddle for example: https://play.fifthtry.com/?ekey=z2jcGxP1hAI01i1Fho515Q, this has record definition, list creation.

And then you can do event handling etc, for example here: https://play.fifthtry.com/?ekey=pMsktS3rOFnS0sGaSe3K0w
I don't agree with this argument at all.

If routers can enable NAT by default, they have a stateful firewall by default. The printer won't be on the internet unless you punch a hole in NAT, it won't be on the internet unless you punch a hole in that firewall. You can have that firewall without NAT.
But would you still prefer X32 if you started with X64? My argument is that some would not find it tediuous if that was the first thing they learned. Similar to how a python programmer would share your sentiment about C because he learned python first. I learned C first so while I accept that it is more verbose and more work in general, I enjoy writing C more.
Absolutely yes. For me, it somewhat upstaged the rest of the essay.

I'm thinking this is someone's daydream... or a way to make a cheap, simple, but cumbersome and imprecise shift mechanism. I can't see it being a practical product or feature of one.
As my professor told once, "The only difference between programming in assembler and a high-level language is that you have to type more." I can confirm - early in my career I was able to sustainably produce more than a thousand lines of working x86 assembly code a day.
Mouse + keyboard + big screen computers aren't going anywhere anytime soon. When they start to migrate office workers to appstore devices rather than computers then I'd believe you, but todays appstore devices doesn't offer enough to replace computers.
Either you have long wait times for non-critical things with critical needs met. Or you have short wait times for non-critical things, but critical needs are not met.

I think the latter is a much worse situation, and it’s the status quo. I agree that increasing supply is necessary to solve both aspects of the problem. But keeping people alive should be the most important priority of any health care system, not keeping wait-times short for non-critical procedures.
No, people just moved on for a better product (FB, etc).

I mean, arguably, a real religion is just one which hangs around for a while. Typically, in the process, losing its weirdest elements; early Mormonism, and Christianity for that matter, had many strange elements that are today have become niche or been entirely abandoned (few modern Mormons are polygamists, and proportionally even fewer modern Christians are religious vegetarians, say).

I guess this is kinda judgmental on my part, but I feel like a lot of the personal anecdotes you hear about from.. older Americans.. seem totally anachronistic and bizarre. Like:

> On the other hand, I have a cousin, a doctor, who feels humiliated if he’s shortchanged in a grocery store. His wife, too: if another woman is wearing the same dress at a party, she feels humiliated.

Like -- who are these people? They just _suck_. They need to get over themselves. I'm sure there are new people like this still coming of age, but probably not at the rate they used to... These sound like very 'boomer' problems, and I think a larger part of millennial culture is collectively rolling our eyes at this brand of arrogance. All over the country younger people grew up with parents and grandparents who were more concerned about pettily defending their pride than being good parents or doing good in the world, and understandably their children grow up with nothing but contempt for it.

Public confidence in PG&E is eroded, maybe rightly so, because the California (state) regulator let them get away with deferred safety-critical maintenance. Whether that's on California or the utility or both, I don't know, but PG&E just can't pull those kinds of shenanigans with the NRC. If there's a safety-critical problem with the plant, it gets fixed.
As long as a computer decides where your time and energy is going as conduit for communication, it has become a moral arbiter. Facebook is harmful. Computers can't do this; they don't breathe.

That’s interesting. I just looked at this chart and would be incredibly comfortable driving after drinking the maximum number of drinks on the chart (5) which would place me at 0.15 minus say .04 (over 3 hours, minus 0.01 per 45 minutes) or 0.11. Perhaps you’re just not a big drinker?

Does it count as "popular" if you aren't even aware you're using it? I suspect 95+% of Apple product users do not know the GUI is interacting with 'nix, and even fewer have opened a terminal and interacted with it directly. The GUI is not 'nix. It's an interface to it.

If Apple had switched to an OS-licensing model, I think it would fix both of the issues I see with MacOS right now: a lack of communication between the users and designers, and their lack of incentive to work with other manufacturers.

and also the way that essentially a single idea can cover so many bases... high speed racing, hauling materials, going shopping, travelling with everything you need for thousands of miles, bombing down mountainsides, climbing up huge mountains ... all this from essentially one simple idea. So wonderful!
You'd have to literally take those shots and go out to your car in the next few minutes to get surprised like that, which... I guess people would do, but it's not that easy. Pounding shots catches up with you very quickly.
Reinstalling windows was domain knowledge on a per PC basis, in my experience.

I had a draft UDMA/66 port on which I wanted my MASTER IDE (for performance), but Windows would not install on anything above UDMA/33. It would run fine once installed, however. The procedure was straight forward, but IDEs didn't announce its presence, instead there were manual MASTER/SLAVE jumpers on the drive themselves that would have to line up with the manually configured BIOS settings. Once Windows was installed, everything had to be physically pulled out, ports and cables changed, jumpers and BIOS checked or configured, enabling UDMA/66 (and thus disabling the 2nd IDE port, but not 3 and 4) and you could start using the OS.

And Windows installation would BSOD with the network card in, so that would have to be added later but before downloading the necessary WaReZ.

I also got into Linux at the very end of the 2.4 line, and vividly recall how everything changed to be more user-friendly with the 2.6 series of kernels.

Those would be "higher end touring / commuter bikes. Road / racing bikes use motorized derailleurs like Shimano Di2 on high end. Rohloff and other internal gear hubs introduce noticeable resistance which is ok for regular riding and not really acceptable for road / race.

As I understand it their downsides come in a few forms

- They are heavier than a derailleur system, which probably matters less with electric assist

- They generate slightly more friction in the mechanism particularly before being "broken in"

- They are not as user end serviceable

This combined with the price is probably what has prevented their mainstream infiltration in a big way (yet)
