Pretty, but kind of exemplifies the problem the world is facing.

Exquisitely beautiful marketing and that's it, nothing behind it.

We all know the beautiful environmental ads the worst polluter companies are making (like oil companies).

Or luxury companies creating "come to us with your damaged bag and we'll repair it for you instead of throwing it out, because we care about the environment" programs, but at the same time having a policy of slashing and throwing away unsold merchandise (https://www.newsweek.com/coach-accused-deliberately-slashing...)
A good prediction is one which is made BEFORE the outcome. All of these armchair data scientists had the opportunity to short Zillow BEFORE it was obvious that zoffer was losing money. No one did? The best outcome which could flow from this is a sort of adverse peer review in data science based on asset trades. To be honest, the zillow data team should have sought this themselves, the community could have debugged them.
I suspect that a lot of that 40% are people who pirate it to try it out before purchasing. What ever happens to demo disks and the like? I miss that

It’s more efficient but much less reliable. Like if you change from light to dark mode, there’s a 20% chance all UWP apps that are open crash.

And as efficient as it is, it still can’t resize windows without flickering. It’s worse than WPF or Win32. And there still aren’t proper APIs for configuring the titlebar area.

I wish they focused on getting their vendor partners to make efficient processors, rather than try to get all windows developers to rebuild software to run on hobbled ARM hardware.
You can make these cameras so dense that there is very little opportunity for speeding in between two cameras.

That "dry spell" storage doesn't need to be batteries. It will have a low number of charge/discharge cycles, so what you want is low capital cost, and you don't care much about round trip efficiency. Hydrogen burned in turbines serves this need rather well compared to batteries.
Yes, you could have also said it in 1987 in Japan. The Nikkei 225 had returned 23% ARR since 1950 (for 37 years) and would return another ~60% before falling and going nowhere (except down) for the next 30 years.

We have never actually had a true deleveraging in the system (in terms of absolute debt loads), so we're kicking the can on that down the road. It's working for now, but it's not going to work forever. We'd need either a deflationary crush or an inflationary debt jubilee to reset the leverage - it's going to be painful either way.

That has been the modus operandi since the late 80s (in the U.S.) - increasing deficits, increasing debt, and bailing everyone out, but it will eventually stop working (number go up won't work forever).

I'd suggest "It's time to move past the FSF" as a title, because the clickbait title you have isn't really the thrust of your essay, is it? "Free Software" as an idea has succeeded so well that there is hardly any paid software market extant anymore. It has succeeded so well that "source availability" is something we take for granted rather than something you'd have to negotiate hard to get and sign NDAs and shit.

"Free Software can do more," certainly. To say its failed is to ignore all the triumphs that have led us to today where you can take those for granted and ask "what have you done for me lately?

"Besides the roads, aqueducts, legal system, security from raiders, and the wine... What has Rome ever done for us?"
The recent normalization of mass censorship is the most fundamentally illiberal social development in the history of liberalism and will have a net negative effect on the progression of human rights and the evolution of the human mind.
Ah, I figured out what went wrong. Libgen has two different databases, a fiction and non-fiction one, and right now Alexandria only queries Libgen's non-fiction DB. I'll update it to search both databases later this week. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

It's an easy way to do a config without a full importer and complexity in passing config around / looking it up.

I like it. This goes way back. They give the example of a globalusings file.

That's a cheap / easy way to do a config file (at least one use case).
I don't understand why the cursory math of someone with no domain knowledge, business understanding, or access to accurate data is at all interesting.
I don't think F# is that second class anymore especially if you are developing on Linux/Mac OSX. The more concise language/syntax is a big plus when you don't want the heavy IDE and want to be cross platform. The VS Code plugin for example seems more mature than Omnisharp and while like any other Code plugin less flaky than many of the others.

It seems to be keeping up with the broader .NET ecosystem pretty well I think - (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/whats-new-in-fsharp-6/). In some ways it is ahead of C# as well so I wouldn't say it is behind at all.
As someone who's been on the buyer side of the market for the past few months, I think it's even worse for their objective: they might be good at forecasting home prices on average conditional on their statistics, but bad at forecasting home prices of the subset that would be willing to sell to Zillow. Every zillow-owned home I've seen, bar none, has had either a bad micro-location (eg: next to a railroad in an otherwise good location), or a bad interior (eg: a smoker home). The same was true for Opendoor, who are in the same business. IE conditional on Sq Footage, location, acreage, etc. they might be incredibly accurate, but they're only able to buy the 50% below that average (and the gap is large because the missing/intangible variables matter a lot).
Back in 1978, I had the choice of buying an Apple-1 or buying a North Star Horizon. I chose the more advanced North Star Horizon. And I have never regretted that decision.

Yes, absolutely. I would love nothing more than for every Pin on Pinterest to link to the relevant website or have rich contextual information. I honestly don’t think it was that difficult technically (in most cases) but IMHO “pin relevance” was underinvested in at Pinterest. Ben (CEO) and the leadership team would often make public pleas about “how important it is to increase pin relevancy” and I saw very little action in the engineering organization to support that.

Crazy how bing.com seem to not care for "beta" software :D
The US has been responsible for a large plurality of the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. China is now the largest emitter, but it's not particularly close if you integrate that function over time.
Not really. They don't have to state that they're the Chinese government when requesting the data is removed, and I'm sure some of the aircraft already not displayed are very boring aircraft with very boring owners.

It's not like the US government doesn't know where these aircraft are already and have an abundance of ways to identify whether they're "of interest" or not
Would this work on a .sql dump?
Thanks, good information.

>If you use FAA data

I was under the impression that FlightRadar24 uses crowd sourced data collected by users with radio receivers managed by Raspberry Pi if I recall correctly?

That doesn't mean that they don't use FAA data, I just don't know that they do. And that's only addressing one of the two services you mentioned, of course.
To be fair it's not even your leader's fault. Most of the people are against doing anything about green energy.

Maybe have some way of people reporting this behaviour and taking action when a critical mass of complaints point to one publisher?

Rather than having a system that looks like what I've just outlined and taking no notice whatsoever.
No more useless messaging ;)
How high is high? Can you give some specifics for foreigners who aren't familiar with the tax situation in Portugal?
In what sense are you using the word "efficient" here, and why does that sense matter?
I don't live in NY, I live is small town comparatively. Talking to strangers on the bus would come across as weird odd behavior here.

No one does that, except occasional heavily drunk person.
I puck, sorry - peeked, into the dictionary - "sneaked" is correct.
> The basic problem is, how do you even know that something is a variable reference?

Isn't that by convention? Like there is a "upvar" to grab values of the prior stack.
For most short haul flights yes. For international with newer 787 or A380 equipment the bin space seems adequate for everyone.

I've never been so tight for time that gate-checking if I need to isn't an option. The stuff I want during the flight is in my personal item under the seat in front of me. So long as seats are assigned I'll board when it's convenient.

Same with standing up once we pull into the gate btw. 95% of people shoot out of their chairs the instant the seatbelt sign turns off, which is still 5-10 minutes from actual deplaning. I'm sure some of them are looking to stretch, but 95% of them? Even funnier are the middle and window passengers standing, but ducking under the luggage compartment at an uncomfortable angle.

There are massive differences between front-end and backend engineers.

Backend engineers deal a lot less with network instability, than frontend engineers. Frontend engineers have multiple ways of dealing with failure. And frontend engineers have a different ways of dealing with parallel and async tasks, than backend engineers.

It's not a massive challenge for a smart person to learn, but we shouldn't pretend that people don't try to apply their previous experiences to future tasks. Which is a cost, when hiring someone without specific domain experience.
What is the distinction of a seal and logo in practice?
But, and please forgive me if I am wrong, there are dozens of different protocols. So I either have to pick the "right" one - and hope it never becomes obsolete - or use several.

Sure, Facebook might deprecate an API. But that doesn't stop me from being able to do generic HTTP requests for JSON documents.

And, while I love decentralisation, it appears that the majority of people gravitate to big providers. Because they provide better services or a bigger audience or demonstrate more trust.

And I'm still not sure what I'd use a smart contract for. Programmers don't seem any more competent than lawyers when it comes to writing bug-free documents.
Edge on Linux itself only just exited "beta" status a couple weeks back, so yes Linux support on WebView2 is behind other platforms and still playing catch up. Hopefully should be corrected "any day now". Appreciate the link to the tracking bug.
I was thinking about deploying some security.txt on our sites and your experience occurred to me, it is sort of like hanging a fishhook out there for all sorts of automated spamming.
China will be the problem in the future. The United States has been the problem for decades.

The US remains responsible for a large plurality of the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. China is now the largest emitter, but it's not particularly close to the US yet if you integrate that function over time.
I feel with fossil fuels there is both too much and too little. On one hand current rates of burning are going to totally hose us. On the other supplies haven't been sufficient to supply the world with enough energy since around 1970.
What happened to references? That’s an easy way to verify if someone is bullshitting. It is possible to bullshit your way through interviews (there’s a whole industry to help you do just that) and not know good software engineering patterns.
depends on the flight. In most cases there is somewhere to put your bag. If you can tell it's going to be absolutely full then maybe it's worth it
Dumb questions: why does it seem like languages always continually add features?

Can a language not become "feature complete", while still improving over time?
> Climate change will continue regardless of people. Only possible change is the rate.

The rate is the problem. No one is proposing massive, economy remaking, changes because of the planets nature ebb and flow. It's because the rate of warming we are causing is absolutely terrifying when you compare it to what would be expected naturally.

> Of course it will reverse course eventually and the ice sheets will be back.

And you're evidence of this is...? I don't see where you'd get it from considering current trends are so ridiculously out of whack from the natural record there isn't any analogue to compare.
As one of those back-end-preferring developers, the thing about front-end development is that the correctness of UI code is subjective, and furthermore subject to the user's opinion. On the back end, I can write heaping piles of unit tests to verify objective correctness of math and data consistency. But on the front end, this button needs to be further to the right, and labeled in a different font.
Imo, this does not marches history of any place. It involved plenty of negativity.
'python' might not be a valid command because 'python3' exists and 'python' does not.

When designing things for 'just work' scripts you have to take esoteric environments into account.

There is no guarantee that '#!/usr/bin/env python' will not error in an environment with only python3 installed.
How do you validate that an identity can be used by one - and only one - person?

> I have been saying this for quite some time: The future vision of an all-electric ground transportation system is between impossible and untenable without a massive scale-up in nuclear energy generation in places like the US.

But this is simply wrong. One can easily imagine a 100% renewable system of that kind. At current costs in the US it would likely be cheaper than a nuclear solution.
BS. This can be solved by how to design the UX among other ways. This problem is not equal over search engines as well. There are other things that annoys me more like Google and the problems with N-Grams.

This is a good data point for a short term sales trends regarding a new device that is a big upgrade for apple's existing market share.

It does not in any fashion show that short term sales suggest that people who who used to buy 200-600 average PCs are now spending 1000 on macbooks. Macs biggest opportunity rests in flipping people who buy machines in the same price range from PC to Mac. It puts substantial pressure on OEMs to improve their premium lines and yet they don't have a great margin so it looks like there is nowhere to go but up in price.

And yet nearly all of them gravitate to "big" exchanges. And most normal people want the security of knowing that a fraudulent transaction can be reversed.
> We all want to get on so we get space in the overhead bins, don't we?

No. Some people don't much care for the overhead-bin battle, bringing only under-seat baggage for shorter trips or under-seat plus checked for longer ones.

And it’s not just because they don’t want to tank someone. It’s one thing to be deeply suspicious that something smells way off. It’s another to accuse a person or company of fraud with no hard evidence.
How would they identify and capture shooter from mile away? In urban environment, much shorter distance is sufficient.
Hey, I'm all for reducing the presence of U.S. bases abroad. I don't think we should be policing the world.

But at the same time, let's not kid ourselves - this will result in more wars, except it wont be U.S. ships and planes burning the fossil fuels, the fossil fuels will be expended by foreign troops and all the rebuilding necessary as a result of more conflict.

Here is an article in the WSJ about the significant increase in coups in Africa as a result of the U.S. pulling back and Europe also easing off of its policing role due to covid:

we have a number of airline credit cards that give us free check-in, which is way less stressful on both departure and arrival procedure. So i can minimize the time spent sitting inches from strangers in a seat that is too small for me.
Is the success of the drone industry an outcome of these wars?
This would go against the don't do evil mantra though?
I do the same - I try and minimize my time in airports and on the plane as much as possible. If you're flying international the checked bag will be waiting for you when you get through customs. Domestically, if I'm the last one on, and my carry on is the last thing loaded, it's the first thing off. I get off the plane, go have a cigarette, and when I'm done it's the first thing off the belt.
The trick is to have enough headroom to ever clip…

Ain't that the truth. I had a 200 watt per channel power amp. It didn't sound very loud, but you could clearly hear the details of the music half a block away.
> Are you assuming your graph is acyclic?

No. I made a small PoC and one of the things I tried to learn was if it is possible to basically disallow creating cycles (because they are a headache). I found that preventing cycles completely was irritating to me as a user as it would occasionally prevent me from making a change and require to fix the structure somewhere else before I could do whatever I wanted to accomplish in the first place.
First, business and premium class usually have plenty of overhead space. Nowadays as long as you’re not flying “basic economy” you’ll probably get overhead space, even regular economy. Besides even if I miss overhead bins, I can pack the bag under my seat.
I used to live in a remote mountain village, located on one of the main highways across our central mountain range. 8km or so of the highway leading into the village was narrow and winding with no shoulder - the road lines were cut in the horse and coach days, so not designed for cars. It was surrounded by forest, often with bluffs on one side and a 20m drop on the other.

People crossing the centre line on blind corners because they were driving too fast were a real hazard on that section of road.

One summer (when the road was busiest) the Police ran an operation where a helicopter observed the road, and identified vehicles cutting corners, who were then pulled over outside the 8km stretch where it was safe to do so by waiting patrol cars.

They only ran it for a couple of weeks, but the calming effect of it on bad driving on that stretch lasted months, it was awesome.

So the Cessna might not be about making money, and more about the potential presence of the Cessna changing driving patterns increasing safety.
Kinda fun.

A couple suggestions:

1. It would be great to add Capital Cities and perhaps population numbers also. And make each data-type optional. Eg, so that one could learn/quiz about Countries and Capital Cities only (no flags, location, or population) if desired.

2. The map needs to zoom in when showing a country. Sometimes I couldn't even see the country.
Super excited to try this out. I've been hoping for a tool in this space for awhile.
I agree in a sense but I would do it another way. Either change to the Rust edition equivalent, or simply drop old stuff and keep in the newer bits.
Not just which IDE, but the whole development environment. If you're worried about what Copilot (Microsoft) can do with your data, how could you trust Windows machines? Even people using Emacs on Linux may be running some Microsoft assistant like LSP servers.
I don't sleep before flights so I can sleep away my time on the plane. So by the time I get to the aircraft I am quite tired.
