Sure. But at least with criminal justice, there is an effort to make it predictable and consistent so you know when you're breaking the law or not - ideally of course. On the other hand, arbitrary rules that are made up on the fly to get rid of marginalized people is a hallmark of repressive governments as well as common bullying. It entrenches the power of the politically powerful.
I once worked with a 16-bit processor that used two's complement with the convention — fortunately mostly just a convention — that 0x8000 was an undefined reserved value, rather than −32768. I say ‘fortunately’ because I was tasked with implementing C-style 16- and 32-bit arithmetic, where 0x8000 is perfectly reasonable as an unsigned value and perfectly reasonable as either half of a long. And ‘mostly’ because the hardware multiply instruction took two 16-bit signed operands and produced a 30 bit result.
Petrol/Gas stations make money from the convenience store, not the fuel. Considering how long batteries take to charge, they will make more money (but they would have to expand capacity significantly).
Bear in mind the absolute value is a red herring, the problems is negating a signed number, which is extremely common, and hardly anyone guards against that.
Yes, I do.

There is something intrinsic to the PC: expectations.

The PC comes from a time where we got schematics, could build our own I/O cards...

None of that happened on mobile, and most ARM devices. Maybe the Acorn Archimedes...

And what I meant is ARM will highlight the LACK of hardware freedom. Maybe we agree here and got snagged on words?

Agile, in a nutshell, says "let's stop being counterproductive (and miserable), it's better for everyone (except maybe sadists and masochists)".

Most of us really want to get things done and sometimes it devolves into self serving tripe but I've been forced to spend 50% of a project planning and then get ridden and harried because that vicious choice that no engineer wanted (but each was forced to do) puts off delivery.

Woah, that's wild. Is a screw-up that universally catastrophic across engines? My very, very naive understanding of cars is pushing me towards thinking that a homologation version of a GT3 car is sort of an extreme outlier, but I know very little about engines, and my intuition is almost certainly way off.
Not sure what you are trying to tell me.
I have not read Lingua Franca so can't recommend a Sanskrit counterpart. It is hard to make a recommendation without knowing what your skill level is. You can go to the below bookstore and find something appropriate for your level. On the right there's a drop down 'Select a Catalogue' which shows different categories of books. I would recommend buying contemporary literature instead of ancient. Ancient literature is very obscure and difficult to understand. Many of the books on the below store are written in the last few years and they use much easier language. But keep in mind, virtually all the books on this bookstore have 100% Sanskrit with no translation. So you have to know at least some Sanskrit before being able to use any of them.

Great article.

In my experience using agile, I haven't observed any failures- just failures from teams implementing it incorrectly.

There are many billion dollar consulting companies that have completely committed to agile and are flourishing. If it were as garbage as many people in this thread are saying, I feel like we would see more concrete evidence of it.

> The point of the numerical-offset notation is exactly to denote a fixed point in time.

Then why support timezones at all? UTC-only is a much simpler way to denote fixed points in time; symbolic timezones are needed when you want to denote a human-friendly local timestamp. Numerical offsets are the worst of both worlds.
We've already got selective enforcement.

I think that blockchain is an elegant solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem[1]. However, if you're working with a blockchain used as, or in the service of, alternatives to fiat currency without explicit government approval, there is always a risk that it will go dark. There may also be law enforcement actions designed to discourage usage, and/or make examples of leaders in the space.

If you can find a way to make a career without using blockchains as a speculative "investment", you should be ok.

Also, I am curious about your findings Re: ARS Article, which I need to read.

Frankly, I am learning how to build more things. Probably will need to.
Considering the Minecraft (unmodded) resolution (that is, its lack of it), I cannot help but to look at this as a giant wasted effort... and I am writing this as someone who has seen some amazing looking creations. But, while it might be easier to do, one meter is just too large for any decent experience with a more personal "face-to-block" virtual street walk.

Having it built out of 20-centimeter sided blocks (with 1 meter as a starting option, and maybe even 10 cm for high-detail) would make it wastly more useful. For example, those could be useful for OpenStreetMap, a project everyone benefits of. Meanwhile, this will likely just disappear and just be written about as a footnote somewhere. Of course, the whole issue could be sidetracked if other primitives (with unconstrained sizes) were allowed/used.

This lack of detail in construction was always my main issue with Minecraft, and its large blockiness usually goes so far as to induce/exacerbate my motion sickness.

Speaking of OSM, they are currently taking the very easy-to-produce and simplistic parametric approximation approach through surveys, mainly via the StreetComplete app ("How many floors does this building have?", "Shape of the roof", etc.).

Also, and I really am compelled to say this, StreetComplete is one of the most functional and most logical complex android apps I have ever encountered. It really shows it is built by the users, for the users.

Why are Amex customers higher value? Is it because they're typically business cards rather than personal?
Eh, shotgun recoil is amazingly variable based on the weight of the firearm and the choice of ammunition.

I’d swear by my Mossberg 590, which has enough heft that decades-younger-akerl could easily manage the recoil.

I feel like you’re also underselling spread. You’re not going to be peppering an entire doorway from 5 feet away, but precision is much less relevant than with a handgun or rifle.

That said, if anybody reads the above comment and decides a rifle is their home defense weapon of choice, I’d strongly advice taking similar care to select the caliber and build. A .22 gives you no recoil but very little kinetic energy to work with. By contrast, anything in a more typical rifle caliber (.223 and up, essentially) and you’re running a pretty serious risk to anything that happens to be behind your target. If you’ve decided a rifle is the form factor you want, there’s any number of modern carbines chambered in typically-pistol calibers like 9mm / 40 S&W / 45, which in a carbine will have neglible recoil and mesh much better with a home defense situation.

yes this is true and a good point. It is hard to account for active disinformation campaigns. I think it is generally safe to assume they won't be as extreme as those for ivermectin in most cases.

One counterpoint is that not banning things could increase general public trust in the regulator which could make disinformation less effective.

I guess there's a large variety of reasons why cars break down. Maybe I'm just lucky(?), but all the actually expensive problems I had with my car so far had very little to do with the fact that it's a hybrid car. Rust, puncture, broken tail light, broken rubber caps/washers, broken touch screen (left as-is). I'm sure that the mechanics who handled my car know not to touch the battery -- even if it's "just" ~200V vs. 800V. Both are very dangerous voltages.

(ICE cars require oil changes all the time so that's a major difference perhaps, but EVs still require some lubrication, right?)
I am aware crazy people do exist. It's a matter of degree and I would suggest that flying this thought a forest Endor style would be far more dangerous than free solo climbing.

But the pronunciation does not have to be correct. The way similar words (and names) are pronounced in a given language is a matter of that language alone. You cannot demand that a Chinese student must pronounce the name as a Dane would; you cannot require that a Russian student knows and uses the original spelling, either. So, Sorren Quirky Guard is the best I can do; my preference, of course, would be to have a more correct sounding "native" spelling that an English speaking person would be able to read.

Yes, my initial skim-reading thought was something something, France geography in minecraft, something something WAIT did I just read 'government program'?!

I think this is an absurdly untapped function of governments agencies regardless of country; figuring out how to make interesting things that are also useful for public education.
Being able to "trick" people into exploring game/internet media that immediately translates to the real world must be some kind of holy grail of education. I bet if we (usa for example) threw a few tens of millions at trying this kind of random crap to see what sticks, the results would be amazing even if the immediate cultural(/economic) value would be hard to calculate.

Mechanics replace seals all day long. Heads are a far more extreme environment than a battery case.

> all the right OE specific equipment, the right checklists

This is the situation independent shops already are in for Audi, BMW, etc. They'll continue to do so if repairs end up being needed. What I doubt is the volume will be high enough to be worth the bother. If the battery needs rebuilding, they'll send it out to a third party like they do with starter motors or clutch linings. They'll continue to do alignments, tires, coolant changes, bearing swaps, etc. It's just the total pie is going to shrink and many places will need to close.

I’ve had 100% success with my last 3 projects in 5 years. Here’s what worked for me.

1. An add-on for a cryptocurrency trading bot. I developed a MVP, impressed the founding team, got into a partnership where they promoted my project to their customers. After 1.5 years they acquired my product and I signed a 3 years royalty.

2. A Wordpress security plugin. Started with a free version, focused on ranking the plugin in the plugin directory. Once I saw 3,000 websites using it. I doubled down on it. At the peak it was being used by 50,000 customers, out of which 3000 were paid customers. Sold it to a private investor for mid 6 figures.

3. Dropshipping - It was more if a test to learn everything about FaceBook, Instagram Ads but the website went onto generating ~$800,000 in revenue.

> What they mean is not just what they literally say, but what the words means in legal context, and considering precident, and the intent of the legislation.

You say that, but... no. Laws are used all the time in ways that clearly weren't the intent of those laws and make no sense. Many prosecutors and cops care about convictions, not "making sense" or "doing the right thing". For example, this one...

> A 17-year-old boy could go to prison for 10 years after being charged as an adult for 'sexting' his girlfriend with explicit photos of himself.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/north-caro...

It gets even worse when you consider prosecutors effectively blackmailing people into accepting plea deals (sometimes for things they didn't even do) by laying out 20 "other" charges they plan on leveling at them; charges that clearly were not the "intent of the legislation", but technically can be applied.
That's a good point; my VW GTI got one at a local shop under insurance a few years back. The turbocharger wasn't hooked up quite right the first time. It wasn't a severe issue - the engine was just noticeably less powerful. Luckily it was a quick fix and they were very good about rectifying the issue, but yeah, what you're saying checks out, even in the outlier cases where a fix is covered.

(Humorously, in a chain of weird luck, I also had a full rebuild of a regular Golf engine in the same five year span, but that one was done at the dealer.)

unlikely I think, older gen cars used to have grease nipple for you to replenish old grease, newer car parts abolished those and instead you just throw the part away and replace. I'm sure some would say it's designed obsolescence but I think it's probably worth while for good portion of the cases as that grease nipple can introduce contaminants too...

the cynics in me thinks the hybrids and ev are still over engineered to convince the masses, once mass adoption began the electronics can build in design obsolescence much easier..

IEEE754 specifies that abs(−0) is 0 (positive). (If your machine doesn't use IEEE754, I'd love to hear more about your project.)
To learn a language, read and understand its specification. Then learn the tooling and libs that come with the compiler. Then just start reading other people's source from wherever while you write your own stuff. Reading the standard lib is helpful, ad is reading the source of any framework, but you have to know the language spec well for it to make sense.
