Problems that don't exist, or that you personally don't have?

Why is enabling development on a Chromebook a bad thing? You ask "Why?", but it seems a more reasonable question to me is: "Why not?" This seems to pull one of the bricks away from "why not?" for working on a Chromebook. I don't see why that's a bad thing.
What "sexual freedom" do you not have today?
You know what reeks even more? Dead people.

My remaining questions though: did both companies say they wouldn’t license it or what the licensing conditions would be? My support of the actions are contingent on that.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but is that really the answer? Should we not also ask the question of why exposed male nipples are acceptable?

If male nipples are not considered sexual but female nipples are, and we permit exposed female nipples in public, then does it also follow that the male penis be allowed to be exposed in public? Do "free the nipple" folks feel the same way about that, and why?

I don't think it's an ass move on the WHO's part. If anything, I think it's an ass move on Moderna's part, for not donating the vaccine to the public domain in full, without reservation.
This just feels like a developer side of the Windows 11 release the "Windows 10 is our last version of Windows" but for devs.

Both morally and, in most countries, legally, patents can be broken in cases like this (severe undersupply, inaccessibility and urgency).

The WHO should be more concerned about forcing hostile countries to respect that right rather than look for silly workarounds.

There are probably tons of trade secrets that go into mRNA vaccine tech. It's fair game if you can figure them out they are not patented.
I think one major cause of the decline of arena shooters is those who are very good can expect to never die versus new players, causing a very high Dropout rate. In Battle Royales like Fortnite where a player will eventually get the drop on a better player thanks to the element of surprise, picking off two players already fighting, or better gear.

Titanfall 2 is a somewhat recent example of a way to balance around this, with the more fun to use guns (Kraber, Cold War, Mozambique) but less effective than a hitscan bullet hose like the CAR. This video is a good example of what I mean, giving good players something to do other than racking up kills with meta weapons.

Double Action: Boogaloo, an action movie themed source mod, takes this a step further with score being earned based largely on the weapon being used, which makes running around punching people more effective than say sitting in a corner with a powerful weapon.

The trisolarans use a device that meddles with the results of particle experiments, to make the results super unexpected, so the scientists will commit suicide out of desperation.

Yeah, exactly ten years ago I heard a story from the founder of an urban exploration startup (yep) that was about a hundred times more touching and inspiring than this niece story. It was like best story of the year for me. The startup? Failed after two years.

Awk is handy for bash programming. It's one of those weird tools in the box that is extremely useful in a very few specific scenarios, and that's what is keeping it alive.

No sane person is going to write an entire application in Awk anymore. But there are certainly 20 years old there who will encounter Awk while doing some command line data munging via SO and it will slowly become a tool in their toolbox.

Perl doesn't really have that. Sure you can ` | perl -e "..."` but honestly, I can do that with python/PHP too. I haven't encountered an SO answer for command line data processing hacks that have used perl in ages.
Maybe I shouldn't have included this comment after the `pointless superficial tricks` :)
I liken Michael in question-mode to being on train tracks with an engine bearing down on you. He will follow a line of reasoning with deep questions rapid fire. This puts you off guard and makes you lower your defenses – that way he gets to the shared understanding faster.

The important thing for the entrepreneur to do afterwards is to remember your responses and try to understand what he was driving at. There is a lot of emotion in the moment, but when you look back you find the wisdom.

The large numbers of people flying RV10s seem to disagree. Diamond doesn't have a monopoly on the center stick. Passengers may not like the floor mounted stick, but pilots? Meh. The passenger stick is removable on the DA42 and 62.

You can't seriously take a Diamond Twinstar and tell me that's not a great aircraft.

> The solution to general aviation getting rid of leaded gas is someone to make small turbines

Right, I can picture it right now, a C172 with a turbine engine. Maintenance and fuel requirements aren't even in the same league, no matter how small this turbine is.

As shown elsewhere in this thread, the lead-free, drop-in replacement has been approved.

Damn, it makes so much sense that aviation fuel is leaded. I have been a fortunately healthy person for my life, but at one point I lived downtown San Jose (which for the non-locals has an airport in the middle of the city), right under the main landing/takeoff path. I got sick 6x a year or more. After 1 and 2/3 years, I realized that it was probably the planes and moved away, and now I haven't been sick since except maybe once or twice (over 3y).

Just awful.
I recommend reading the article I linked. They thought they found a solution with volatile and it turns out didn’t actually work. Malloc/free are 100% special and a sufficiently smart compiler can remove this stuff (sometimes automatically, sometimes if you turn on LTO).

memset_s is the only function that would be defined to work precisely because this was needed for crypto so it is solvable but just take it on faith that if it’s not explicitly called out as forcing the compiler to not do dead store elimination, it will happen.

It's all relative, sure, but we can also reasonably assert that Python, Ruby, Java are all operating on the same level of abstraction because we as programmers can largely ignore the details of the computer architecture of the machine they're running on, which isn't possible in assembly. An argument could be made that any compiler that can ignore such details can be called a transpiler.
Indeed, and it is in a way our public duty, too: according to the USC/2A, it is deemed necessary to the security of a free state. (We see that the first thing a non-free state does is, it tries to take away the people's right to keep and bear arms - especially the kinds that can be used effectively for the stated purpose.)

Leaded fuel for passenger cars was banned in the US in 1996; the usual birth year range for millenials is 1981-1996.

Gen Z were the first to be born, in the US, with unleaded gas.

One of Microsoft's greatest strengths on show here. Embrace and extend.

They made a mess of trying to build an app business with windows RT, Windows 8, windows 10. They can't get into the apple appstore ecosystem so they pivot to embracing the Android ecosystem to have an app catalog on windows.

(Ironically what google did with Android was the play that Microsoft should have done with windows phone - classic OEM play which they had done successfully for years before)

Looking at the Google Fi plans available right now, the Subscribe and Save option ($15/mo, upgrade after 2 years) for the Pixel 5a and the Pixel Pass option for the Pixel 6/6 Pro ($45-55/mo) that bundles a bunch of extra services like Google One and YouTube Premium are both interesting, but what I really want is a Subscribe and Save option for the Pixel 6.

Maybe I should just wait until a Subscribe and Save plan for a (hypothetical) Pixel 6a is available.
In addition to what Jeff said, from the reader's point of view, Readup's mission is to make a home for deep reading on the internet first. It's not only ad-blocking and monetizing for creators. We already have article discovery/ranking based on our read tracking algorithm, and future developments will improve the reading experience even more. For example, by being able to construct your own feeds with your favorite RSS & newsletter sources, topped up with our metadata, or expanding on the ability to organize & curate your reading socially. A comparison with "the next Pocket" might be appropriate from that perspective, or to a "Spotify for reading" (a nice read on this trend: https://readup.com/read/protocol/spotify-for-readers-how-tec...).

Our universal monetization model indeed draws comparisons to Coil, Brave Rewards, Flattr, Twitter Blue... we have in common that we try to make the web more ethical & sustainable. For a writer or publisher, we're one more monetization source for which they don't have to do extra work. And we come with a community of readers that you can interact deeply with (example: https://readup.com/comments/organizer-sandbox/ginny-our-litt...).

Coil had [an article discovery Reddit-clone](https://coil.com/blogs), but they have moved that to [Write.as](https://write.as/) now. I invite you to look at Readup's ranking and compare what you see!
This is a clear misreading of what is written in TFA.

They had lots of attention from the VC, but all the VC did was shoot down their idea(s). The emotional outburst changed the mood in the room, and they got a different kind of response from the VC.
Of course, I absolutely understand how it prevents illegitimate uses of local data storage to violate privacy. My concern is that it also destroys entirely legitimate use cases for local storage and the only way to mitigate that is to open users to a whole new class of security vulnerability they can do very little to protect themselves from.

The only reasons I could think to use perl over Python are regex execution speed and 'maybe' infeasibility of accessing PyPI so you'd need more built-ins, but still have plenty of disk space... though I haven't done any feature parity comparisons there.

Am I missing anything?

I liked Perl back in the day and used it a lot but even my old sweet-jesus-what-was-I-thinking Python code is a LOT more readable than my cleanest old Perl code.

I'd be curious to hear from folks who've also been deep in Python and Perl but stuck with Perl rather than Python— different use cases? Coding styles?
Small planes are used for much more than hobbyist uses. Prior to G100UL there were no drop in replacements which made adoption of unleaded avgas fuels impractical. G100UL can be manufactured at the existing avgas plants, stored and transported in the existing avgas infrastructure, and even mixed with leaded avgas.

Banning unleaded fuel without a replacement would have been heavy handed and short sighted. The government should be working with industry partners to develop a suitable replacement -- as G100UL was -- and subsidize the fuel costs to make the more expensive replacement the same cost as leaded fuel.

Definitely. It solves one problem.

It doesn't solve the "this airport takes space that could be used for parking lots" problem.

The article states a couple times in the opening paragraphs that the API is about sanitizing dynamically generated HTML, "Many websites rely on dynamically generated content in the browser. Often, the generated markup includes content provided by outside sources, such as user-provided input, which can include malicious JavaScript code.". So the server would never see this HTML.
I've been a tcsh user for nearly 30 years, but I also believe /bin/sh should be as minimal and reliable as possible, the Bourne shell (or ash), certainly not a bloated monstrosity like bash or zsh. Even ksh is too big for my taste.
That's a reasonable position for Epic to take. Most failed EHR implementations have been caused by excessive customization. Hospital staff often wanted to make the new software fit their existing idiosyncratic processes and forms. But in reality there was no valid business or clinic reason for most of those differences between hospitals. It's better in the long run to reengineer hospital operations to match industry best practices and the selected EHR, regardless of whether that EHR is Epic or one of their competitors.

As a local hospital IT director told me, "Vanilla is the best flavor." By that she meant that if they purchased a piece of software they were going to use it as-is and not get sucked into a black hole of customization.
It's a concern, especially if you have kids.

> children living within 1.5 miles of the Reid-Hillview Airport have elevated levels of lead in their blood, and that the problem gets much worse for those who live closer to or downwind from the airport.

In 3.2% of the children surveyed, that number was as high as 3.5 micrograms, and in 1.7% of children it was 4.5 micrograms. Average baseline lead levels in children across the U.S. are closer to 0.84 micrograms.

"Monolith" is not a problem. It's just a description of an architectural approach. Often switching to alternatives, like microservices, is a terrible idea: https://medium.com/swlh/stop-you-dont-need-microservices-dc7...

The question is: What do you actually need to do? I.e., what are your requirements?

It's all about trade-offs. If you can't identify at least one pro & one con to an approach you're considering, you don't adequately understand the approach you're considering.

There are macros, and there are macros.

You've used C and Rust macros. Have you seen Common Lisp macros?

I've read a fair amount of Common Lisp code written by other people, and every time I had difficulty understanding something, it was invariably plain CL, and not a macro.

Maybe C programmers just have difficulty exercising restraint when writing their macros. Or perhaps the design of the language and the macro system (which is basically just text pre-processing) don't mesh well together.

Regardless, I haven't noticed macros being a footgun in CL. Sure, there are doubtless people out there who have abused it (and will continue to do so) - but that's true for every language feature; meanwhile, it doesn't seem like macros themselves are actually a problem, in the sense that they're particularly easy to abuse compared to the rest of the language (a distinction that I might give to C raw pointers, for instance).

If anything, (good - CL) macros are easier to understand than many other features, because they're (usually) referentially transparent functions with a clearly defined input and output that runs once at compile-time, on known data, which you can manually expand and inspect, and they tend to rarely interact with other features of the language. With rare (but useful) exceptions, macros don't involve networking, async, threads, dynamic environments, databases, stack limits, or any of the other strands in the spider-web complexity that tends to make programming hard.

This approach was tried in the past century, and what ends up happening is a bunch of IP paperwork but no one willing to do the work. It’s an interesting tragedy of the commons in terms of the game theory.

Otherwise, the person that figures out the hard work of scale up is the only one that doesn’t benefit, because the only winner is the fast follower. Governments don’t work nights and weekend to scale industrial supply chains (hint: because they can print money).
No, I feel you and I agree with the message completely - there is no place for non-descriptive commit messages in today's world. Collaborating with people who are doing that is difficult.

I think a lot of it boils down to poverty and literacy. Religious fundamentalism is largely a pastime of the poor, and as the US has become more affluent religious fervor has faded.

> Other belief system's populations die out due to lack of breeders, so it is just survivorship bias.

Breeding isn't a sure-fire way to produce more believers, either, and I say this a a non-religious person who was raised in a very religious family, married to another non-religious person who was raised in a very religious family.
Sort of a social standards issue though, isn't it? Here a topless teenager is scandalous but in other places that standard includes teens without hijabs or teens in tight-fitting clothes or even teens not in long dresses. I suspect this is only a thorny issue because it requires a transition period. Once people get used to it it will stop being so over-sexualized.
