That isn't really a strong argument for why it is necessary and proper for Scottish people to be ruled from London.

The idea of local Scottish people governing themselves doesn't seem horrifying. They could team up with England for defence purposes and share an army without the rest of the administrative baggage.

If the argument against city states is that they're uncommon, that isn't much of an argument. English global colonialism and hegemony has been pretty common for the last 200 years and it is a stretch to say it is the desirable equilibrium. A globe made up of small city states might be more pleasant to live in.

Similarly, "if England doesn't rule you, someone else will!" is ... not a strong argument if they aren't happy with English rule.
Around that time I was forced to use MacOS 9 at work. It was terrible. The OS was very unstable and I had to reboot serveral times a day. This was one of the reasons a lot of companies were using Windows because it was way more productive (except for Windows ME).

So I can imagine large companies would not trust OS X at that time and it would have been a big risk for Dell.

It's on all phones, desktops, etc. And if I were to give it to you? Well. Maybe you're the NSA, maybe I'll be pulled off the street, thrown into a chair, and in a NDA-drugged, mildly confused state, be told "look, it is your desktop, see your familiar backgroud? You should enter your password."

No sir, I will not disclose my background image!! Sneaky! Good try though.
The proper way would have been to leave the project alone, notify the maintainers of problems if any turn up and remove the project from the .Net Foundation if the problems persist.

Of course from the issues that came up the last few days it seems that there is literally no point in joining the .Net Foundation and kicking a project out is essentially doing the maintainers a favor.
I don't think in this application a laser would be practical. To kill a mouse you're going to need a really big laser, that would give you 3rd degree burns if you were exposed. I'm not sure you can buy those things if you're not the military and power consumption might be horrendous too.

Shawn Woods on YouTube has a passion for mouse traps. The most effective one is a bucket with a plank, he can catch about 20 mice a night with just one bucket.

If you're merely questioning whether Tesla's really do crash into emergency vehicles more often that would be expected, I get it.

But "Tesla's on AP get in these crashes about half as much as vehicles in the general fleet" is unsupported; even in Tesla's own figures from https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport the difference between AP and non-AP Tesla's isn't large enough (for me anyhow) to actually draw any conclusions from, since AP usage is obviously correlated with road conditions. To be clear: I'm not saying it's at all obvious that AP does worse than a human driver, but it's neither is that possibility ruled out by anything they've posted there - Tesla simply choose to present statistics without the context required to interpret them, likely because it suits their marketing aims. News at 11.

The human instinct to retain control even when that's not to their advantage gives me the hunch that it's more plausible that the apparent numerical benefits of AP are simply due to selection bias; people turn it on in situations that are less messy, and therefore it's involved in fewer accidents. Perhaps these investigations will reveal more.

Put it this way: if autopilot actually were better than a human driver, and humans choose to use it in less dangerous situations, and those drivers at least sometimes pay enough attention to catch the occasional AP oversight (better isn't perfect!) - well, then I'd expect the AP crash numbers to be dramatically lower than the human crash numbers. They're not.

I do think the Tesla AP numbers look less bad than they did a few years ago anyhow, to be fair. I just don't think it paints a clear picture yet.

I'm sure many people will agree that sacrificing people's lives for higher productivity and wage potential isn't great and it's kind of exploitative.

Furthermore, for many white collar professions, which are among the main productivity boosters and growers, time spent on the job is counterproductive past a certain point.
Unless, of course, you don't care about collateral damage, in which case you might well kill first, verify second.

Writing the whole entry was challenging because there is a lot of detail I wanted to provide to being everyone along the journey. I've seen some people drop in at any isolated point and say, "Why is this a big deal?"

I don't think this applies as a general rule. One could imagine reasons why they should have access (of different kinds), especially when they employ key maintainers and are the driving force behind the project.

> wars fought like this may involve less loss of life

Western audiences forget why wars were often fought to the last man. Mass murder could often be the merciful option. Vae victis.

A military superpower unwilling to impose its will through sheer brutality is a huge historical outlier. As Pax Americana disintegrates, new powers will arise in its wake. ISIS was a brief glimpse into the future.
But what can California do about that problem with a company that is not cooperating, and does not have a presence in California?

What would California actually choose to do on behalf of consumers who are in this situation, even if there is a law on the books that supports the consumer?

With Apple, the company in question had to work to get on the platform in the first place, and if I as a consumer go to them and tell them I want to cancel that account, then Apple just cancels that account. I don’t have to go to the state of California and ask for assistance, I don’t have to wait for a lengthy trial that might be years in the future. With Apple, it’s just one click and done.

Laws don’t help you if they are never enforced. Laws don’t help you if they can’t be enforced against a party outside of their jurisdiction.

Apple’s solution works, and works well, for all customers who want to cancel their accounts.
That is an assumption.

I think it’s just a really hard nut to crack. Because even if you remove the bias and stigma, corporations are at their core, risk adverse.

I’ve met these people in the public sector where we have policies in place to employ the people who are hard to employ and focus on not discriminating people because of what they bring. But the fact that we have those policies and that focus speaks a lot about how hard of an issue it is.

Because if you’ve committed crime, you’ll simply be considered a more risky hire, and we don’t like that. The most expensive mistake a manager can make in my country is hiring the wrong person. This is where a lot of the discrimination against former criminals, people with different sort of diagnosis’s, people over 60 and so on come from.

Often the risk assessment isn’t actually true. Because a lot of these people will be far more loyal to your organisation than a fresh hire out of university, but the risk assessment will still favour the young person, and if someone experience and “normal” in their late 30ies or early 40ies is in competition, well…
I do a agree with you, but we should also keep in mind that there's a distinction between dependencies and dev dependencies.

Building and bundling for the web platform (where you have multiple browser, environments, users on different versions) is a real challenge and you actually want to have good tooling for this.

With NPM, you just bundle all of the tooling along with the dependencies you need for your actual app.

I think that's still a big improvement over projects where you first had to setup your dev environment in very specific ways just to get started (I remember this could even take days to get right for some projects I worked on).

Although I would really wish for a better standard library, or at least some "core NPM modules" which are officially agreed upon, promoted and security checked as an almost-standard-library.
Is it not possible to use a different operator for alpha blending? So instead of a1 + a2, do max(a1,a2)?
> For me and many others, [white supremacy] has a much broader definition.

I call this the Humpty Dumpty theory of language [1]. The term "white supremacy" already has a well-established definition: the belief that white people are genetically superior to non-white people and therefore white people should dominate society [2]. I would give you the benefit of the doubt that you were unaware of this, but that is manifestly not the case. You just decided to use your own definition, and to do so tacitly. I think that is reprehensible. Imagine if someone called you (say) a rapist and then tried to justify that by saying, "I suspect your definition of rapist is different than mine." Yes, my definition (a.k.a. the dictionary definition) of "white supremacist" is different than your postmodern SJW version. That doesn't make what you said any less pejorative.

And yes, I'm a white European male living in a culture that has been largely shaped and is currently still dominated by other white European males. And yes, there are a lot of white European males out there doing all kinds of fucked up things. There's not much I can do about that. If you think that I should be ashamed because I have a Y chromosome and my skin is white then you are no better than the people who say the same thing about women and black people.

> We all must work to unravel it.

Why must we do that? Personally, I think it's enough if we treat our fellow humans with respect and judge them by what they say and do rather than their skin color or gender or ethnic and cultural background. But apparently even that is too much to expect in some quarters.

He didn't start at 0% BAC, otherwise he would likely be experiencing delirium tremens.

Alcoholics tend to maintain a high BAC all the time, enough so that even after sleeping they still have enough alcohol in their blood to avoid delirium tremens.

So he probably drank much less than two hard liquor bottles.
I agree that my original complaint was a bit of an overreaction, but I still think my complaint about maintenance and backwards compatability is true. I've been doing frontend development for over 15 years, and SPAs for at least 10 (I started with Backbone.js), so saying 'people like me come in' is not accurate or very fair. Nowadays I mostly do backend Typescript, mainly so I can avoid issues like this.

The reason why I choose create-react-app when I first started this project was because it was most popular and recommended way to create a React app. I've hand rolled Webpack and Babel configurations before, and upgrading to the next major version is alwyays a headache, which I wanted to avoid again. Sticking to old versions is equally bad because if someone wants to try something new it's not always possible (two of the biggest frontend apps our company has are stuck on React 15). I figured it's an official project from Facebook, so will be around for a long time and well maintained, but obviously that assumption was wrong for my use case.

The upgrade instructions don't say much [0], but in my case it was a dependency of a dependency of create-react-app which was causing issues. Because of the way create-react-app is built, it isn't usually possible to downgrade or upgrade specific dependencies, or change the configuration for certain parts of it. You just have to go with what they suggest and hope that works for you - which in my case it did not.

In the backend world you will be able to find a LTS version that receives security updates and critical bug fixes for a long time, while in the frontend world your choice is upgrade to a newer version - which often has breaking changes - or stick with the old version - bugs and all.

I gave up with Vite because of the issues I had and went back to create-react-app. I've used it successfully on other - much smaller - projects, but yes for this project it isn't the right tool. Right now I'm trying to make the ejected version do what I need and fix the dependency issues, but if you have any suggestions of what else to try I'm all ears.

> Part of what makes it interested in this context is that Birbiglia is working out his next special (something that apparently takes years, which I guess shouldn't surprise me)

Comedians try out a lot material (and variations of the material) on tour: I attended my first live show expecting special-level of polish and was disappointed. The bits I remembered, that did end up in the special had much better delivery, after much tweaking to see what worked and what didn't, I'm guessing.
Arguably, for those who want to / have to work in the .NET ecosystem, it is better that .NET is adopting an open source model, even if imperfect.

This actually lessens the vendor lock-in problem and also means less of a risk of Microsoft pulling out of providing security updates for key components.

So far as I can observe, C#, F# and .NET Core as a platform for web development have benefited from the OSS-ification in the form of more dynamic and transparent progress/evolution.

I'm confused.

In the fifth figure, "Adjusting the intersecting vertices of intermediate segments to prevent overlap", you can see that the vertex adjustments cause the angle and thickness of the line segments to change. This looks wrong to me — shouldn't the angle and thickness be unaffected? Shouldn't the red boundaries along the tops and bottoms of the line segments be colinear with the dashed grey boundaries?

> Does Facebook really make anyone's life better?

I can only answer for myself. It made my life better:

1. At the start of my career, I got connections, jobs, etc from local groups.
2. I connected with old school mates I wouldn't have found other wise.
3. ...

My assumption is when people are not addicted or living/following fake lives on social media, there is a lot of benefits to it.
Well they aren't wrong. They protect important visitors.
I'm British, with the snippet of legal training appropriate to a one-time would-be chartered accountant, and I'm acutely aware that the German legal tradition is hugely different to the British one, so while i have taken care to understand what follows, I am not an expert and may be mistaken. There is no error in my logic, but the subtleties are tricky.

Constitutions are two different things: they are literal agreements, with a semantics, and they are a state of affairs, that enforces the agreement. In countries where the supreme authority is a court that has a high level of public trust, as in Germany, it's common to forget about the latter part of the arrangement and take the constitution to be the literal agreement. Some other countries, like Britain which does not even have a single document that codifies the agreement, this is not forgotten.

My understanding of the matter is that the German supreme court is essentially saying that it accepts the state of affairs has changed, i.e. it is not the only court that gets to decide matters because of constitutional supremacy, without saying that it will agree with EU law if it is asked to decide on matters.

What is being called #polexit is that a body that the Polish government claims has constitutionl authority has effectively rejected the state-of-affairs part of the constitution. In fact, the situation is constitutionally dubious: the body the government formed to do this does not appear to have the power the governement claims it does according to Poland's constitutional law. This is a quite different situation. My guess is that the Polish government will not succeed in their strategy, but they have undoubtedly created a huge crisis, both in Poland and the EU.

In this context I believe that if a benchmark does exactly that your software would do in a production environment (shuffling JSON around and accessing a DB), then such a benchmark is probably a rough indicator of how well any stack would work, as long as the source code is also written in an idiomatic fashion.

Of course, if you can, take benchmarks with a grain of salt and ideally do some prototyping and load testing.

Apple didn’t take that away. Fortnite did.

Fortnite took it away because they wanted to create publicity for themselves and set up a situation where they appeared to be David to the Goliath of Apple.

Fortnite took it away and sold their software on the Apple App Store, in the full knowledge that they were planning this move, and they knew what that result would be.

So, Fortnite sold out their own customers willfully, and with maliciousness aforethought.
You also don't need a proper gun. A gun is a big advantage if you can't safely get close enough to someone without them getting a chance to react.

But if you can fly a drone or a number of drones up to someone too fast for them to react, there are any number of other ways to kill them with easily obtainable materials.
