I have been listening to ATP for years, and I love it. I didn’t know that there were discussions about them.

To me, one of the powerful things of ATP is that it’s one of those cases where the sum is more than the parts. The hosts complement each other very well.

I also like that, although it’s an Apple-centered podcast, they are willing to take a critical stance towards Apple. I once listened to one of the other major Apple-related podcasts (not Gruber) and the level of fanboyism was cringeworthy.

It's fascinating that there's this creeping question of low-level, dead simple economic value-fraud, juxtaposed with comparative 4D chess around relevant questions of cultural heritage and international politics.

My guess would be that the fraud questions will fade due to the kind of immense pressure that these latter two systems can bring to bear. I would bet on the Saudi prince's side in this case, because of the political power and varying types of currency on the table, as opposed to just money.

Based on the article there's even a very clear argument to be made that his interests are directly aligned with most of those who work in the art world...
You'll find that if you do a survey, other people will also say some of them are not bullshit, but they won't agree with you on which two those are. That's the problem.

Yeah I'm not sure where this originated (recent C++ has something similar with auto and I think C# now has var as well) but if I'm doing a code review rather than writing code in an IDE, var is a bit of a hindrance.

> There are news articles from then that literally talk about the statements you are claiming they should have said.

"Most people don't know how to use face masks correctly" is not what I claimed they should have said. That's basically saying "masks don't work unless you're a health care worker who has been trained to wear them properly". Which is wrong since plenty of people who aren't health care workers do know how to wear masks properly. It's not rocket science; you just have to make sure there's a proper seal. Most N95 mask packages give explicit directions about how to do that.

> "a rush to buy masks could prevent the people who need them most — health care providers — from getting them."

Which, again, is not what I claimed they should have said. The proper response to this valid concern, as I said, would have been to use the government's eminent domain power to ensure that PPE was prioritized to health care workers (or, in the case of the CDC, NIH, etc. who don't have that authority themselves, to recommend to the President to do that). Not to prevaricate about people not knowing how to wear masks properly.

"despite the fact that everything we sell has been tested and approved for sale by both manufacturers and also all relevant regulatory bodies, we nevertheless look out for the well-being of our customers by staging roll-outs of new products in small test markets, to measure both customer reactions and to monitor for any consumer complaints or health/safety concerns."

sounds fine to me.

umm I am not sure if this is true. To me ultimate thrill in my job is customers solving their real life problems with the software i built.
Where I work there are basically two types of meeting, one for mass participation (> 10 people) when a few are speaking and most are listening, and one for small team discussion, which tend to be focussed on screen sharing one or more person's screen. Neither of those need a camera.

When meetings are 1-1, or maybe < 5, then they make sense, but I don't really feel the need for them otherwise.

I fully agree that, IF you buy a new car, you should buy an EV, at least in most places (in my country, EV infrastructure is really behind, so EVs are almost entirely relegated to city cars). My point was more about whether you should change your current ICE with a new car, and even more so, I was defending someone who was caring for their old ICE instead of buying a new ICE for 20 years (if you look further up the comment thread, this was the discussion I was chiming in on).

In the EU at least, there has been constant pressure not to do this on environmental grounds, and I believe this has been misguided (perhaps EVs will indeed change that).

> SpaceX and Tesla are legitimately doing great as far as I can see. Which good news were you talking about?

They are doing good, but they constantly promise far more - Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, "FSD" (Elon promised in ~2018 that "very soon" you would be able to let your Tesla work as a robotaxi when you don't need it and recoup its cost within a year from all the money it would make!), solar tiles.

SpaceX has similarly claimed fantastic schedules that they are far from, fantastic price cuts for orbital flight (they claim Spaceship will be at least 50x times cheaper than the cheapest option so far), that they will offer commercial earth-to-earth space flights in the near future, and that they will maintain a fleet of 40k satellites, larger than all the current number of satellites combined.

SpaceX also has a history of lying to the FAA and EPA about their launch schedules and environmental risks (not talking about CO2 here, but rocket debris in protected swamp lands).

If you tune with exact 2^(1/12) semitones then all your octaves will be in tune for obvious reasons. (And pianos are normally tuned this way, equal temperament, so I don't know what the grandparent is talking about; for any tuning system some intervals are just and others are not. Equal temperament gives you just octaves, Pythagorean tuning gives you just fifths, meantone temperaments give you just thirds).

Agree with other comment.

It's scary because it has no way to be destroyed, aside from incineration of items you know are contaminated (which often people don't know are contaiminated), or possibly dilution in the environment to undetectable levels. And aside from that, the progression of the disease and the neurological symptoms/effects on a person are terrible.
No. "The arbitrary limitations that I have voluntarily put on myself and my system should be adhered to by everyone in the world, despite great detriment to anyone else who uses at rhis point decades old technology to its full capabilities." Are you hearing yourself?

> What made them walk back is when they realised _how much_ they'd lose.

What's wrong with this arithmetic? Don't independent FOSS organizations have similar metrics when deciding on things? They want to progress while causing the least amount of grievance to the community, and when it exceeds expectations, they walk back?

For example, I hate Firefox's new tab UI; I think it's terrible, and one of the reasons I stopped using it. But, apparently I'm in the minority, so Mozilla Foundation is okay losing my love. Had the backlash exceeded Mozilla's expectations, wouldn't they have walked back? What's extra sinister about what Microsoft's doing here (besides other valid points of criticism)?
> There's arguments over whether the CDC was politicized under Trump

As far as I can tell, Trump had little if anything to do with public pronouncements by health officials about mask wearing. He did tend to discount mask effectiveness in his tweets and random public statements, but I think it's pretty well established that no government health officials gave any weight to his statements about that, or about anything else for that matter.

I would agree that the Federal government's failure to take obvious steps like using eminent domain power to ensure adequate supplies of PPE to health care workers was Trump's failure while he was President, since the President is the one who has the final say on the Federal government's eminent domain power.
> Feynman's job was analysing whether buffers were big enough?

which is interesting because the analysis is too novel and the people didn't believe his analysis!
Kind of agree.

But be aware that for anyone who knows the full details, this word might bring about a visceral reaction. It is beyond ugly.
Whether nature follows a plan is up for debate. I am personally in the camp that it doesn't, but I understand if someone isn't.

I am guessing that was not your point though, but that you simply missed that I was only complaining about strictly adhering to "natural" process which the OP seems to hold in very high regard (rightfully so, but they fail to mention that we can and should improve on them, which was the point I was making).
Intuitively, it does make sense. If you only ever encounter something once, it probably does not make sense to spend brain resources storing it.

Oh, that again. There's a long history of this kind of thinking, going back about as far as written literature. It keeps coming around, as new generations think they invented it. Recent versions include "Bobos In Paradise", and this Chobani commercial.[1]

A new problem, though, is a fascination with "change" and "disruption", as opposed to "progress". This is relatively recent. The classic goal of a manufacturer was a smooth-running, stable, profitable plant. Henry Ford stayed with a single model as long as possible. So did Volkswagen.

The demand for change originated when manufacturing caught up to demand, and marketing was needed to convince people to replace functional objects with new ones. This is perhaps a toxic form of modernity. That's a more useful subject to work on.

> for some people, not having to write that (or any) email is the whole point of having people in meetings

Which can lead to some annoying problems where, for example, you might have several meetings where people harangue you for wanting things done in way X but then find out after you've spent two weeks doing things in way Y that they actually conceded on way X after those things but no-one bothered to write it down or communicate it in any way.

(Not that this was a one-off; the whole company had a culture of meetings without notes or any kind of documentation.)
How will those roads be digitally "aware" of stalled vehicles, pedestrians, animals, fallen tree branches, traffic cones, etc? Lane keeping is one of the easier problems. It's detecting and classifying all the other obstacles where AI really struggles.
Let me introduce you to old soviet trains, from my memories of a couple of cross country trips. Cozy, you line up by the window in the hallway as it pulls away while your parents unpack and put the suitcases in the high-up compartment in the little room - 2 bunk beds. You get the top one where you hang out and later fall asleep watching the window and listening to the train. There are 4 spots, so you have a guest joining you for the trip, and he tells you interesting stories and plays chess w/ you while drinking his tea. Magic.

Trains when I went back to Russia for a couple of years as an adult: mix of soviet and modern cars. In the soviet ones, the bedding is still from those soviet times. It's itchy, you're not sure whether it's clean, it smells a little funny. The toilets are disgusting, and you want to wash your hands and face from a water bottle -just trust me on that. You got some bunk mates in the 4-bed room. They're annoying, they're idiots, and they pretend to drink tea in class, while mostly just drinking cheap vodka. They step out by the car entrance to smoke every ten minutes, but reak of booze, BO, and smoke - so the whole car reaks too.

The new cars are clean, double the price, nice toilets, everything is plastic, everything smells like plastic. It feels like you're on an airplane. There's no magic.

Spent about a month in Kazakhstan, but flew in there from Moscow. Honestly - egh. Nothing special, just a smaller city with fairly friendly people trying to get through the day.
Interesting, I wish it had interpolated the move of the rectangle handles too !
It's the second thing I tried.
It seems like proof-based maths and applied maths are different fields. The latter is more closely related to engineering.

I am the kind of person who likes to solve more practical problems but it is more of a hindrance in advanced maths, where you manipulate concepts that are too abstract for practical use, like infinities.

It would not work as both "sides" claim the other to be over-represented. In truth they want to silence each other if we are honest. I don't like Twitter making content decision but I guess that ship has sailed long ago for any large social media platform.
It still does have a non-zero cost, especially in the long run, when security vulnerabilities pop up. With distribution package management, on Ubuntu, you can rely on your Nginx being updated and restarted automatically while you sleep. With Docker, you need to subscribe to a security mailing list in order to know about the vulnerability in the first place, and then run some commands manually that re-create the container.

A long, long time ago, I was a male nurse in intensive and trauma care.
Around the time, mid to end 90's, that aroma therapy mumbo jumbo began to spread among nurses.
We even had one that couldn't stand the smell of rotting flesh on some poor souls trapped in intensive care with heavily infected wounds.

I loved the smell of an infected thorax cavity after partial lung resection in the morning.
It smelled of hell.

Which really wasn't that pleasant I assure you.
That nurse even installed magic trees and lavender bags.
Which I associate till this day with decay.

The whole point of a local date is that it is just a container for three values - year, month and day, and nothing more than that. You cannot go from `Instant` to `LocalDate` without specifying time zone/offset information, and vice versa.

“Local date” is a useful concept on its own, and it is not at all always derived from an absolute instant of time. Some examples:

1. Date in a file/directory name, which often happens with big data processing. There is no way to tie these dates to some absolute frame of reference without external information, but it is often not really necessary, and there is still a need to work with these values as dates, e.g. compare them or compute offsets.

2. Anything which is tied to the user’s local time frame, e.g. alarms. They simply cannot be tied to some absolute time reference, because they always represent some time wherever the user is located right now. Even birthday is something like this, because for the purposes of celebration, people care about the specific calendar day, not the actual moment of time in whatever absolute time scale there is (at least, most of the people I know think like that!)
I like verbosity. I like knowing what I am getting. I like explicitly specifying the defaults, rather than assuming or having the details buried in the documentation.

Solving problems and formulating a problem solving approach takes time. This is the important part of writing software. A few extra keystrokes are relatively minor in comparison.

"I want to write software, but I don't want to type too much", never made sense for me.

> left-leaning administrations which seem to tolerate dissenting opinions and politically inconvenient statements/papers better

I don't know where you're getting that from. Both parties in the US consistently politicize science. The only reason it seems to be more prevalent when Republicans are in office is that the US media reports on the two parties very differently, so there's a huge selection bias in what is made visible to the average person.
PowerMock is a mistake on its right own; I outright reject pull requests if anyone attempts writing unit tests that need modification of final state.
A few notes:

1.) A and B are not my proposals; They're case law that has been preempted by C.

2.) Copyright falls under the DMCA, which pretty much follows A's procedures (i.e., a takedown notice model) even though the DMCA is a statutory provision. Why are copyright holders so special?

3.) There is no constitutional right to an ad-based business model. Ad-based models evolved under rules similar to B's, but for newspapers, and B is what should govern said models online (unless someone can demonstrate a successful ad-based model under A).

4.) CDA 230 is the golden goose; hence, it won't be repealed. Everyone gets paid to the detriment of society and the individuals who are denied their day in court.
Well, firstly my priors start off low: https://davidhughjones.blogspot.com/2020/07/can-we-trust-his...

Secondly, the quote I gave seems obviously disingenuous or misguided, so that makes me trust the historian less. It's hard to see how a knowledgeable person could honestly interpret that remark as evidence of racism.
> a nation that for many decades, until quite recently, people worldwide looked to for leadership in the fight against global infectious diseases.

We hear similar stories in the UK about "our leadership role in the world" but actually travel the world a bit (or perhaps listen to the news in a foreign language for a while) and you'll soon realise that it isn't the case. It's just a story to make people feel good, or shame, whichever is necessary for those telling it.

That's how Febreze works, I've looked into it too in the past. But the problem is that most other air fresheners aren't like that. They're just cheap scented mixtures that try to mask the smell. And it's definitely debatable whether they are doing more harm than good.
