> Nobody worked out before 1960 and nobody was fat (and lots of people were poor). Nobody in India is fat and nobody work out and they're largely poor.

What percentage of the population had desk jobs before 1960? Standing/moving all day burns a lot of calories, I would assume enough so that you don't put on a few pounds each years which can lead to obesity in the 40s. Of course that's not all the population, some are obese before being teen. But I think that's still an important part. You can't outrun your stomach if you eat a surplus of 2000 calories each day, you can if you eat a surplus of 200.

Anecdotal evidence: I didn't know what ACID meant, but I know each of the things:

• the transaction is the minimal (atomic) unit, and must never be split up;

• all transactions (and everything else too) must map valid states to valid states;

• parallel database transactions should be viewed as a directed asynchronous graph over valid states (like Git)

• store stuff on the hard drive rather than RAM (i.e. the hard part of making databases; filesystems are horrible!)

I have fairly deep understanding of these things; I just didn't know the cool acronym mnemonic. (Database engine devs don't tend to use it in their blog posts about the internals of SQLite or Postgres.) “If they didn't learn how I learnt, they don't know anything” is one of my pet peeves.

> I imagine this couldn't be possible in the states due to the absolute vastness of it all

No, this absolutely happens in the states too — just on a smaller scale. Roads often have the name of the next town they run through. (One mountain town I'm familiar with in North Carolina has only 4 roads leaving town, each named for the town you'll arrive in if you take that road).

The county that applies that to pretty much every road (or at least used to) is Italy. I have vivid memories of trying to navigate the Italian highway system pre-satnav when none of the signs used the highway names on my map; instead, they listed the next city the highway would hit — frequently one that I wasn't familiar with. (And no, apparently all roads do not lead to Rome)

I remember visiting Atlanta for work for a couple weeks years ago (I'm not American).

"Everyone" in midtown was fit. Cross the border to the adjacent neighborhood (don't recall the name but it's a lot more residential and just barely still accessible by foot from down/midtown due to how far away everything in Atlanta is) and more than half the people you see are obese.

Oh and the homeless people are a lot less scary than in San Francisco. I felt safe asking a homeless man for directions in Atlanta (didn't realize he was homeless until he pointed at the tent he lives in & asked me for a dollar after we spoke) & I would probably not dare do that in downtown SF (I probably wouldn't do that in Berlin either for that matter, even though homeless people aren't as aggressive here).

Another difference is the police - in Germany, Austria & Israel (countries I've lived in so far) it's not unusual to ask a police officer who happens to pass near by for stuff like directions but when I asked a policeman (who wasn't obviously doing anything) in Atlanta where something is he very obviously didn't want to talk to me, just answered my question with "not here" and didn't even look at me while doing so. This was in broad daylight at a "nice"/central part of town so I don't think it was because I was interrupting some police action?

The Netherlands is home to 30% of all public EV chargers in the entire European Union. [0]

They are in no way the "dominant charging provider", probably not even for Tesla's.

What's more likely is that there are so many public and private EV chargers in the Netherlands that the superchargers sit mostly idle and Tesla needs to open them up to try and recoup some of the capex.

I'm not a fan of any law which could be potentially be misused to inhibit free speech, But the context of this law reminded me the row of Elon Musk calling the U.K diver Unsworth who played a major role in rescuing the Thai children struck in underwater cave - a 'Pedo Guy' on Twitter because Unsworth called the submarine supposedly fielded by Elon for the rescue as a P.R. stunt.

Elon did get acquitted in the U.S. court for the defamation suit on this as free speech laws in U.S. has very little riders, But I wonder if this supposed 'pychological harm' law could have delivered a verdict in favor of Unsworth in a U.K. court.

>Unsworth testified that “being branded a pedophile” had made him feel “humiliated, ashamed, dirty”. “I was effectively given a life sentence without parole,” he said. “It hurts to talk about it.”[1]

As a side note, Free speech laws in India has very specific riders when it comes to defamation, which of course are constantly abused[2]. But theoretically, Elon would have definitely been found guilty under that law; Theoretical because he's rich.

No. The mills have almost all shut down and moved elsewhere.

You're absolutely right about hard disks like this being essential to our current computing capability.

But in the personal computer space, very few people need lots of storage, so they will not "feel" any difference between 2TB and 20TB of hard disk space.

Even between SSDs, while some are undoubtedly dramatically better than others, for the average person they wouldn't necessarily notice that their notebook is ever so slightly faster to boot up or load their browser.

More advanced CPUs tend to have a much bigger effect on their day to day computing as their computer will feel faster and be able to run longer on batteries.

The state is always in service of the ruling class. This much is beyond evident in the U.S. as the semblance of democracy that took shape over the expansion of the American empire erodes.

There's a weird effect with these things - myths from other cultures seem fascinating and indicate Atlantis-like civilizations. Similar myths from you own culture are obviously just boring metaphors and scary stories to make children behave.

For example the Tower of Babel could be interpreted as aliens destroying a space program (possibly space elevator) with mind-control technology. But with the cultural baggage of the christian civilization we interpret it very differently.

The story about Jericho could be about nuclear weapons or orbital bombardment.

The story about Lazarus could be some advanced medicine.

There's a lot of this stuff in any culture - but they seem more awesome when you weren't indoctrinated about the "correct" interpretations since you were a child.
For high school students with aspirations in the tech field it is like the MIT, Caltech and Stanford all rolled into one.

It may be sort of comparable to that in terms of fostering startup-oriented skills and business connections.

If that's your only measuring stick, that is.

But in terms of developing a solid intellectual foundation for dealing with the world (which just so happens to involve other aspects than the skills necessary to create a hot tech startup) -- just on first principles - there's no way the educational benefit of an accelerator program can compare with the core foundational training of top-tier 4 year STEM program. You know, in things like math, science, and yes, liberal arts and overall personal development.

>the Ada implementation had nearly double the lines of code as the C reference

I'll point out to others in the audience: this is largely an artifact of Ada syntax being more verbose, and Ada programming practice favouring longer and more explanatory identifiers compared to C (where a lot of code looks like line noise). For example, see this post and compare the size of the C code vs. the equivalent Ada code:

I've lived in the US for a while, this reads very nostalgic. But I never really had a sense of culture shock, I was going through the motions of course, adjusting and getting used to American culture, but the 'shock' was never really there while I was living there. The shock came after I moved back to The Netherlands and realised how strange the US was compared to it.

Is delayed culture shock a thing?
My understanding is that Apple really cares about memory footprint, since they ship hundreds of daemons on machines that often don’t have much memory to spare. So IMO their allocator prioritizes that over say throughout, which might annoy app developers but isn’t necessarily a bad compromise. (In places where Apple has different needs, e.g. WebKit, different allocators are used.)

Playstation's dashboard is 30% less efficient than Xbox's
Source: https://builtformars.com/case-studies/ps5-vs-xbox

It's pretty damning...

"The natural conclusion here would be to pick a winner. But that'd feel unfairly divisive, given that my opinion is that both consoles have terrible user experiences.

If you wrote a list of all the software that you use on a daily basis (Google Docs, Mac Mail, IOS, Twitter, TikTok...), they'd probably all be better than either console—and considerably so.

Both the Playstation and Xbox lack empathetic design or any real onboarding, and they make hundreds of obvious UX mistakes.
For example:

- Not auto-focusing on fields when there's only one field / action on the screen.

- Not auto-proceeding between the month and day fields in a date-picker.

- Empty states without actions (e.g., "no WiFi connected" without a link to connect the WiFi).

- Poorly-labelled settings (e.g., the difference between Playstation's 'Avatars' and 'Profile pictures').

- Basic functionality requires customer service (e.g., cancelling a pre-order on Playstation)."
Downloads something like 10 megabytes of code.

I don't think many web developers would argue downloading 10MB of JS code is appropriate. The problem is that people who argue that websites are bloated often include images, video, fonts, and more in their numbers, and assets like that take up space. Most web apps are a lot smaller than 10MB. Even a giant one like Github Codespace is 'only' 8MB, and that's a full IDE and git client in your browser.

If you're seeing something that's got 10MB of code in it then the developers have failed (or it's a very complex app).

> It sounds similar to the current "standing charge"

One of the great things mobile phones did for society was the PAYG model. It lowered costs for consumers and allowed to onboard even people with atypical cashflows, who might have otherwise struggled to afford monthly contracts. It was a great democratization of access, and that should be the model to pay for services.

Sadly, companies of all size prefer monthly "standing charges" because they make it much easier to fleece consumers by making them pay even if they don't use the service - and if you miss a payment, they can add further charges on top, increasing the abuse. Even mobile companies now make it harder and harder to get true no-strings PAYG accounts.

If I as a C++ dev come to a new project, I'd much rather that someone was using std::vector or std::array or std::unordered_map or whatever other container because I know how it works, and I know that any other new developer will know how it works.

Personally, I would expect very heavy justification (incl. profiling results showing orders of magnitude differences in total task performance) and a very strongly tested + well documented implementation for anyone sending me a PR with their own implementation of a container.

Will all due respect and speaking as somebody who hates the CCP, painting the "Great Leap forward" as anything other than a tragedy borne from massive government incompetence and a breakdown of communication is propoganda.

The US keeps trying to paint it as if the CCP decided (for some reason) that what would best help their goals is to kill millions of their own population and plunge their country into a food crisis.

It would be like the CCP pretending like the mass deaths of the indigenous people of America from smallpox was intended genocide by the Europeans instead of a consequence of the lack of knowledge of microbes and the lack of domesticated animals for the indigenous peoples, except at least that lie is some level of plausible.
> The 152 documented killings (and doubtless more undocumented) of African Americans between 1945-1951 are very sad

I'm not even sure what this is trying to do except lowballing numbers? African Americans were not just killed, also not only "152", they were assassinated and locked up as political prisoners [0].

In places like US occupied Japan, it was weirdly enough only black soldiers that got court martial and executed over the blatant mass rapes that were going on [1].

As opposed to the US, who never annexed any countries? I wonder how the people of Hawaii would feel about that claim, or any of the people in the dozens of countries the US has bombed to rubble and left with mines and unexploded ordnance for many future generations to worry about? At least they didn't get annexed! At least most of them didn't.

> None of this is to excuse US failures to defend human rights and civil liberties, but China is in a whole different ballpark.

"Failure to defend human rights"? Wow, that's some seriously weird language you are using there to handwave away the fact how the US government didn't "accidentally" commit atrocities but in many cases committed them with full intent.
