There's an area of aviation where a lot of innovation could occur, and people are excited to do it — but the FAA is in the way. Ultralight aircraft, under FAR Part 103, are allowed to weigh up to 254 pounds dry, without fuel. Electric ultralights must weigh up to 254 pounds with batteries, which is practically impossible to achieve, so ultralight pilots who would love to be flying clean electric aircraft are using unreliable two-stroke engines that spew incomplete combustion products like there's no tomorrow. If the FAA would revise the regulations to exclude the weight of batteries, like it excludes the weight of ballistic recovery systems or floats, it would open up a field for innovation and might reinvigorate ultralight aviation, but the FAA doesn't want to even think about ultralights, and ultralight enthusiasts are worried that if they push matters the FAA will shut it down like they did ultralight instruction twenty years ago.
It might say more about economics than it does about psychology :)
What your accountant experienced with SAAS businesses recommends. If your business cannot afford to pay an accountant, there's a substantial probability it is only feasible and not actually viable.

Unless you are an accountant, your time spent on accounting rather than growing the business is low ROI. The same is true of freelancers, etc. If rates don't cover basic business expenses, the long term prospects are not favorable.

An accountant is an off the shelf solution.

Good luck.
> can you trust your firmware, hardware, etc.

Nope. We'll never have truly free computing until we can make our own hardware at home. Just like we can make free software at home.

Governments will eventually decide that unrestricted computers that run arbitraty code are too subversive. They turn laws into a joke. They destroy entrenched business models. Stuff like copyright barely makes any sense now that networked computers exist. Encryption alone is a potent enough weapon to defeat militaries

They don't want the masses to have access to such a poweful thing. Industries and governments are completely aligned on this matter.
With regards to the scanning issue, you could scan to FTP; new Brother workgroup MFC printers can even scan to SFTP and I'm sure other manufacturers are the same. (Note that smaller, cheaper $150 Brother lasers cannot scan to FTP/SFTP; that feature seems to be reserved for printers in the $400+ range.)

For example, you can scan multi-page documents in B&W or color (even double-sided) to individual JPEG's PDF's right from within the printer's sheet feeder itself, and have them uploaded via SAMBA or SFTP. I'm sure the very large enterprise printers/copiers/etc can probably do this with for multiple accounts as well, so that each user on an entire floor could scan directly into their own incoming directory.
I'm sure there are other e-bikes, but those are not available where I live. The fastest here are the Stromers, they are a little bit faster but not exceptionally so and they also cut out at 45 kph, just like mine.

> which suggests that there ARE ways of getting FMAs, without the sloppiness of fast-math.

There are ways, indeed, but they are pretty slow, it’s prioritizing accuracy over performance. And they’re still pretty tricky too. The most practical alternative for float FMA might be to use doubles, and for double precision FMA might be to bump to a 128 bit representation.

> A line of LINQ looks and works nothing like a line of C#

Maybe if you're using the query form, but if you're using the method form, I'd argue that they work together very nicely.

For me, at least, I've found embracing Lambda expressions to be very helpful in a number of cases, between Linq, or writing my own code for doing things like rendering tables (long story there).

Granted, I learned C# right after LINQ was released, but I'd still argue that LINQ is well worth having around.

> blocks -- syntactic support in the language for cleanly passing a single in-line defined lambda/closure object as an argument -- are possibly the thing that are most special to ruby.

Too bad ruby stopped short of doing the trivial obvious thing and just making blocks be regular values. Instead the language is complicated by special syntax and functions for sending and receiving blocks, and bizarrely limited by the inability to do anything with a block literal other than send it.

Blocks were so close to being good. They managed the triple flip with a double twist, but they couldn't stick the landing. It's not quite a faceplant at the end, but it clearly shows how much better they could have been.
> In the US you find people who get really really angry if somebody suggests that a civil war 150 years ago wasn't about slavery.

Yes, and denying the holocaust happened gets people upset for some reason too. Something about telling bare-faced lies, about easily confirmed historical facts, as a way to flaunt a political affiliation to a group that openly considers some people sub-human is strangely political for reasons no one can figure out.

The greater Clojure hot-reload super power comes from embracing the idiomatic division of state and function though. Hot reload in C# will have probably have to re-instantiate classes or restart the app.

Then redefining your functions won't touch your data.

The only reason to do a full restart would be if you changed the data structure expected by the functions in a way that's not semantically backwards compatible.

That's not how computers work.

The scanning would take place at the lowest possible layer (ie. keyboard input, or kernel-mode input driver, etc), such that the user-mode software itself wouldn't be able to bypass the scan. It could also happen at the hardware layer.

You'll need to bring your own hardware/software to ensure you're not being monitored.

As a technically skilled American I found it was far easier and cheaper to get into Canada on a spousal visa than the other way around (by the time we decided to move to be together we already had a lot of proof of relationship established so the overseas spontaneous union seemed unlikely to fly). Has it become any easier to bring in foreign spouses in the past twenty years or does it remain easier to go the other way?
> Given that a decently large portion of the book discusses the anthropology of money and debt in a wide array of diverse cultures, the idea of lacking "resemblance to the real world" seems wrong to me. The real world includes all those different situations that are starkly different from the current dominant economic case.

Ignoring the quaint cultural practices of remote tribes does not diminish one's ability to understand the economics of the real world that they live in. Having an inaccurate picture of they actual system they live in on the other hand is far more damaging.

> but they were still more accurate by my understanding than the wrong-but-common concepts that are asserted by most naive citizens and used in most political rhetoric.

That is a rather low bar. But the book still has quite a few howlers:

- US treasury bonds are literally the safest securities on the planet. Graber calls them a debt that will never be paid.

- Graber claims that the global status of the dollar is maintained in large part by the fact that it is, again since 1971, the only currency used to buy and sell petroleum, glossing over the fact that the US dollar was the reserve currency since Bretton Woods. He then follows up with what can only be called a conspiracy theory, suggesting that the US invasion of Iraq was possibly motivated by Saddam Hussein's switch to the Euro.

- Graber likens the large holdings of US treasures by Western Europe, Japan and Korea to a tribute system which siphons wealth from these supposed client states to the American Empire. But when it comes to China holding vast quantities of the very same treasuries, he says from China's point of view, this is the first stage of a very long process of reducing the United States to something like a traditional Chinese client state.
Windows has always offered (well, since Vista at least) some out-of-the-box customizable color schemes. MacOS has the ability to set a global accent color, but it tends to surface in fewer places than Windows' similar option (some default Apple apps, that's it).

MacOS (still, and has always) allowed moving the task bar to a different side of the monitor. Windows 10 allowed any of the four sides, MacOS allows all except top. Windows 11 is bottom-only. Earlier in the beta they also forced the application icons into the center of the taskbar (Mac-like), but they've since moved back on that and allow left-aligning them (Win10-like).

They're both pretty light on global, out-of-box customization. If we're counting pennies here, I'd say Windows is still slightly more customizable, and if they re-added moving the taskbar to other sides of the screen, it'd definitely be more customizable.

There are too many factors to make a broad comparison in milliseconds. Are you running the code on a RaspPi or on the latest Zen3?

Serialization should be implemented in C so unless the JSON is megabytes in size, whatever is happening here probably has to do with the business logic implemented in Python. Python and Ruby are equally slow when they aren't wrapping frameworks primarily written in C (e.g. tensorflow), so choosing between them is IMO a stylistic or compatibility choice.
Autonomous vehicles can't drive in a tunnel yet, and you're imagining flying autonomous cars in 5 years?

Flying cars already exist, they're called helicopters, and they are not a promising consumer technology, and never will be. Flying heavy materials (such as human flesh and bone) is far too energy intensive and inevitably produces too much noise. It is also far too dangerous to become a consumer technology.
> apple will simply [...] hide behind their "lawful obligation".

Not sure why you expect Apple to fight your legal battles, since they are simply selling tools (iPhones) that have to comply with the local laws. Would you want random OEMs to skip the local laws they do not like?

If you do not agree with the laws in your country, you need to work to change them.
I'm still seeing about 6 months for both the PW determination and the PERM review but the processing times seem to be increasing slowly.
Later on the App Store could certainly be credited with Apple's success, but not during the iPhone intro, though? I think people had been saying "our killer app is X" (where X was not a piece of software but an approach to doing something) for quite a while before that.

From a brief look - no. Belgium says "4000 W 45 km/h limited "speed pedelecs", which are classed as mopeds for all requirements."

Mine has a 750W nominal motor, but seems to output around 1050W at peak.

If you look at significant whitespace through the lens of developer preference, then sure, it sucks. Where it shines is ensuring code is readable by people other than the guy who likes 320 character long lines, and likes aligning everything to the = sign. The only language I know that is as easy to read as Python is Go, and it does so by forcing developers to use go fmt.

They are super dangerous too. Very low to the ground, nearly invisible from the perspective of a motorist and far harder to overtake with on narrow bike paths than regular bikes. We have a couple of them near here, also a few battery assisted ones. The velomobile would be an ideal vehicle if everybody rode one.
> Traditional car companies largely rely on suppliers to redesign electronics (at even greater cost and lead time).

Just to put this in perspective for some readers, I used to work at one of the largest automakers and suppliers would bend over backwards for us. They would shut down the line and retool for us when we needed something quickly. But even when things were running smoothly, some parts had a 12 month lead time and there was nothing that could be done to expedite that.

I remember one part that we shared with many other automakers had a recall. It took the industry over 3 years to supply all of those parts to consumers. Not airbags, this was almost 20 years ago.

All of that is without a design change. Now add a design change on top and it can easily move a 3 month lead time to 12 months or more.

I do consulting for another automaker now and one of our chips has become unavailable. Actually, at the beginning of the pandemic the price jumped almost 10,000%. We had no choice to pay it, but that also killed all of the margin on that particular part so we immediately started redesigning the PCB for a new chip. The software had to be rewritten for the new chip; several case components had to be redesigned to accommodate the new PCB, testing, mass production, etc. That was over a year ago and the part is just starting to roll out now.

So, I think PlayDate's messaging is completely reasonable.
Jesus. I wonder how much time it took to debug that...

Libaries shouldn't do anything unless called explicitly. Even when called, they should cede as much control as possible. They should probably be exposing the concurrent functions so the caller can decide how to thread them... Every time a library decides to make things easy for the user it leads to insane problems like these.
So anyone who is acting nefariously can circumvent with bit of work, and the rest of us are subject to another vector of mass surveillance.

I cannot agree with calling complex numbers just two dimensional.

Function of a complex variable is very different from a function of two variables. You can say these are two different departments of mathematics.

Real numbers are not algebraically complete, but extending it with 'i' makes it complete. Adding another dimension to go to 'two dimensions' does not do anything like this.

Mathematicians are fascinated with complex numbers because it is THE extension of real numbers that completes them in very important sense but it comes with so many unexpected and fascinating properties.

Quantum phase is not two-dimensional, it is complex and it amazes me much much more than two-dimensionality would.
> I really dislike sed, awk, and all these utilities because I just can’t remember how to use them. Every time I want to use one of these tools I have to relearn the stuff, and then after a while I forget how to use it. If I don’t use it all the time I just forget.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: many of us who have been doing development or systems administration in some form another for multiple decades are the same way. I have a terrible memory, but it turns out that does not have to be a big hindrance for tech work.

When I'm working (or tinkering at home), I keep a tab to my personal wiki open at all times. I will not usually bother to write something down the first time I do it. But I have to google it twice, I throw it into my wiki. This does two things: 1) It makes me (slightly) more likely to actually remember it for next time, and 2) The next time I need the information, I know where I can find it without having to wade through SEO-encumbered blog spam or outdated StackOverbutt answers.

A database of personal notes is a powerful multiplier for technical ability and productivity. To the point that whenever I interview a candidate for a job, one of the things I ask is what system they keep their notes in. Their system doesn't matter at all to me but if the answer is none, that's a definite strike against.

>I really don’t think non-interactive CLIs are a good way to do complicated tasks.

Many of us thrive on the Unix command line because of the raw power you can wield with it. "Why waste time trying to learn arcane shell commands when you can just write a script in Python?" is a common refrain I hear from developers with only a few years under their belt. My response to that is, "Why would I waste time writing a Python script when I can do it in one line of shell?"
Like I replied above. Having your own hardware is pointless if the people you're talking to are having their devices scanned.
Well, kind of, ..., my 2021 has been one of my most productive years ever.

> Maybe not every e-motorcycle rider

I'm not sure if people are using these terms colloquially or if they are codified in law or generally accepted, so I may be making some false assumptions here: as an ICE motorcycle rider, using the term 'e-motorcycle' to refer to what is effectively a no-pedal bicycle dramatically overstates the capabilities and gives a false impression of what such a vehicle/device is.

While some no-pedal electric bikes probably can move at a decent clip, I have to imagine that they're much closer to pedal bike than motorcycle performance.
That's funny, I personally prefer HTTP for its simplicity, human-readability, accessibility, lack of centralized control, backwards compatibility and lack of forced upgrades or locking out old clients, etc., not to mention speed.

Of course, I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where MITM attacks are virtually non-existent, aside from WiFi portals and maybe ISP banners (which I've never experienced.)
You can just as easily make a mistake in bracketing as mentioned, in any number of ways.

If you're blindly running software that has never been looked at, tested, and even run once to verify it works, the main problem is elsewhere.
