Agreed. The other useful proposition I've heard is to make an inventory of all the things we use the police for that really aren't supposed to be a part of their jobs (such as mental health crisis response where there isn't a danger of harm to others), and create separate departments to deal with those. Then you can slowly transition to a point where the police are just doing police things, instead of being the catch-all for all the stuff nobody else wants.

Eugene, Oregon has been running a program called CAHOOTS for several years now, and Portland is starting to mimic it. It's basically a team of mental health professionals who roam the city responding to mental health issues that don't require an armed response. It seems to be working pretty well for them, and I think the model could be expanded.
Have you ever been driving when a tire blew out at high speed? It's extremely dangerous not only for the driver but all the nearby cars.

This is a tradeoff between environmental concerns and safety, as are most safety features on a car. We could make a car that gets insanely good milage and has little raw material, but it would be terribly unsafe.
> Tech-savvy people will just type "facebook.com"

Tech-savvy people will type f, see that their browser completes "acebook.com", and press enter. That's a form of search, it's just more directly provided by the browser and unambiguously serving the user.

(Ideally, tech-savvy people will type f and see no signs of facebook whatsoever, but that's an orthogonal issue.)
Not really a joke. When I worked for the government the head of my division had a problem with an engineer who was harassing a colleague. He addressed it by telling the guy to apply for jobs elsewhere and sent out lavish recommendations. The recommendations also overlooked the fact that he was an incompetent engineer.
Vite's goal is a mixture of speed and flexibility. Rollup's plugin system provides the flexibility in exchange for slower build times, but that doesn't affect development speed, because Vite doesn't bundle anything in development (apart from CommonJS dependencies, which are pre-bundled with esbuild).
Your plan is solid (source: building ci stuff for >10 years). I wouldn't really suggest much else, although argo is getting pretty good if you're deploying to k8s, I'd still keep gitlab around for creating your images.

> Another example of the difference between homo sapians and homo econimus. This makes some sense from a rational, detached, Vulcan perspective, but homo sapiens hates it.

Homo economicus specifically refers to entities meeting all the elements of the rational choice model, including having and acting on perfect information about forward net utilities of decisions. Since the entire purpose of this service is to try to deal with a problem of imperfect information about forward net utilities of an economic decision, it would make no sense if the participants were homo economicus.

Your not wrong that it doesn't work for H. sapiens, though.

Computers and the internet are intrinsically complex. I regret efforts to make them seem simple.

In fact, tablets and smartphones are a serious effort to put a simplified skin on computers and the internet; but I don't want that simplification when I'm using a real general-purpose computer, with a proper keyboard. I wish smartphones and tablets would get off the freeway, and leave it free for real drivers.

The people who "don't know anything" need their own road network.

Another comment in this thread speaks directly to this concern. Though, I would argue the move is likely also part of a larger move back into the "creative market" of designers, cinematography, etc.
You’re right, I was thinking of the grounding.

“The Boeing 737 MAX passenger airliner was grounded worldwide between March 2019 and December 2020 – longer in many jurisdictions – after 346 people died in two crashes, Lion Air Flight 610 on October 29, 2018, and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) resisted grounding the aircraft until March 13, 2019, when it received evidence of accident similarities. By then, 51 other regulators had already grounded the plane,[2] and by March 18, 2019, all 387 aircraft in service were grounded.”

The number doesn't seem to far off. I have summer and winter tires, replace them every 6-7 years. Lots of people drive more than I do.
I think they'd be better for trailers than cars because all the tradeoffs people are complaining about (small increase in rolling resistance, NVH, inability to air up for increased load or down for comfort) are far lesser in a trailer application. Combine that with all the trailer tires that go bad from long term exposure to the elements before they get worn out and it seems like an obvious application.

But..... one of the most important aspects about trailer tires is cost and these may not quite be there yet. Michilin and other tire manufacturers don't really compete much in that space and leave it for the low end import brands to fight over.

Rental trailers and towed equipment (like towed light plants and air compressors) seems like the only obvious niche where both the cost and downsides are justifiable.
I don't drive that much and still feel that changing tyres every five years is pushing it.

That's not a systemd thing, that's a distro thing. The default path is where it gets put if it's part of the base system, if it's installed from a package or if the distro makers decide to change it (because maintainers forks of projects often change things) it'll be elsewhere. But the systemd project doesn't control that.

EG Debian's systemd fork puts it in /lib/systemd/network/ (and lots of other network files in /usr/lib/systemd/network/).

Why not fly the telescope to the launch site?
I think there are several problematic aspects. First, the incentives are all fucked up. Why would I pay more money to have my best colleagues leave vs. my worst? Indeed many made the joke that they'd be more than willing to pay several thousand to get rid of their least productive or most annoying colleagues. Similarly, the company hiring has non-zero incentive to fire the candidate before 2 months and the keep the bounty. This isn't likely to happen in "hot" industries like software, but the goal of startups is to grow and spread into other markets.

Second, this makes moving from a low paying region/industry to a higher paying one more difficult since the bounty is based on the target salary for the role. A software engineer coming from Russia is probably not going to be able to raise $20k USD from his Russian colleagues while applying to a job in SF. In effect this bounty system reduces social mobility. You might counter that the option to interview still exists, but if there's one job opening and you can get it "automatically" by raising money the candidate who raises cash the fastest (i.e. knows the most wealthy people) wins by default.

Windows for AMD64 is called x64 Edition, it also includes "Edition" on the name. Windows for IA64 is called 64-bit Edition.
I feel like a big part of the problem is that back when computers were newly introduced to the world at large, there were actually good tutorials on how to use them.

Consider the Windows 3.1 interactive mouse tutorial/Windows tutorial. [0] This was designed for an age where both mice and Windows were relatively new and people didn't know how to use them, and it's one of the better designed tutorials out there, I think, allowing the user to interact with the tutorial and instantly see the results of their actions.

However, nowadays if you try to look up a tutorial on how to use a mouse, you're probably not going to find very much. The best I could find was hosted at gcfglobal.org [1], and explained the concepts and how to do things with a mouse, and has relevant interactive parts, but requires knowledge of how to scroll the page (which it does tell you how to do at the top, but there's only so much room there). There was also a set of pages called hosted at pbclibrary.org [2] which goes over the mouse basics and doesn't require scrolling before the concept is introduced, but it's somewhat outdated.

But those two were about it. The rest were mostly non-interactive videos. And in all these cases, discovery is a major problem - most of the time, the only way you're going to be able to get to those in the first place is through someone who already knows how to use a mouse.

We're all assuming that schools are teaching these basics. But what if they're not?

Ah! That's a good idea.
Pretty much on point. I've been building a .NET, bootstrapped webapp (i.e., no Razor, no "cargo culting" so I can actually understand things from the ground up) piecemeal, every other weekend, in both C# and F#, and, like Java before it, _understanding the ecosystem and libraries_ is critical.

I can read OCaml and dabbled in it, but that doesn't help me write substantially better .NET because I will be iterating over lists or graphs in a different way, handling IO (and sockets) differently, etc.

But I can see how someone conversant with C# and the .NET ecosystem would really like F# since the barrier to entry is substantially lowered, and the code is just so much nicer and tidier.

Shame there isn't a proper AOT-compiled LISP for .NET (no, Clojure doesn't count, I never managed to get the .NET version to work for me).

20 is barely enough. You really want 30-40.

The problem is variance. If 70% fail and only 10% produce meaningful returns, you want >>10 so you have a reasonable chance of getting average returns.

It's possible to get lucky with 5-10 startup investments but the common result is "lost everything" with "broke even" a close second.

This applies to working for startups as well....

Or in this case, monitor and regulate their child's facebook/instagram use?

someone should get funding to check links between antiperspirant use and depression/effects of dark thoughts.

Anecdata: My mood improved gradually after I stopped using retail antiperspirants. At some point (aka 12-18 months later) I got pissed of never being dry and went back to the stuff. It took 12h before the dark thoughts were back, took 3 showers as soon as I noticed, and it still took 3 days for the effect to stop being noticeable. Since this event I strongly think antiperspirants should be studied to confirm this is not just my mind playing tricks on me.

Functional programming is not just programming with closures. It's about "referential transparency". Referential transparency permits higher-level mathematical reasoning, which leads to safer/better program composition, optimisations, caching/reuse and parallelisation/concurrency. If you are willing to concede mutable-state and other uncontrolled effects, there is much to be gained.

I wonder if it would make sense to do backward search, even if the forward and backward branching factors are very different. For example if the branching factor for forward search is 10 vs. 100 for backwards search, wouldn’t it make sense to do one step of backward search for every two steps of forward search? Or more generally log(b)/log(f) backward search steps for every forward search step, where the forward branching factor is f and backward branching factor is b?

This is all based on spontaneous intuitive ideas of mine and very superficial reasoning (and probably not even new).

This is somewhat well covered in prior research, in so far as the information required is available. Here are some recent evaluations of the carbon footprint of modern models:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.02243 (cited in the above paper)

> The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
provides average CO2 produced (in pounds per
kilowatt-hour) for power consumed in the U.S.
(EPA, 2018), which we use to convert power to
estimated CO2 emissions:

> CO2e = 0.954 pt

> This conversion takes into account the relative proportions of different energy sources (primarily natural gas, coal, nuclear and renewable) consumed
to produce energy in the United States.

(Other countries are also included in the paper.)

https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10350

The authors note that in many cases accurately estimating the carbon footprint is difficult because the information required is not publicly or readily available. However, they do provide some additional data, improved calculations, as well as motivations beyond CO2 reduction.
