Yeah - for sure the difference here is when your kids grew up. I was a 90s/00s kid and in that time frame youtube didn't exist until I was 15. Facebook was new and alone in its category besides myspace. Instagram, Snapchat, and Tiktok didn't exist at all, and youtube hadn't yet cultivated itself into the monstrous addiction engine it is today (for kids, specifically.) Moreover smartphones didn't exist or were just starting to proliferate, so it didn't follow you everywhere. Growing up using the internet was a different experience back then.

Apple takes a similar approach for swift. Package.swift files run real swift code and export an object that specifies the package’s configuration.

> 1. Be 100% accurate and risk confusing people 2. Be strategic about it and for the greater good.

Humans have a very poor track record at actually advancing any "greater good" when they choose option 2. In practice, "the greater good" turns out to be whatever helps those particular humans keep their power and status. That's why option 1 is the only acceptable one.

If this is actually true (I don't think it is), then our civilization is doomed.

> We need to have more empathy for people who are the decision makers and have to make difficult choices.

No, we need to stop thinking that certain people should be given the power to be "decision makers" and tell the rest of us what to do. The only acceptable thing for people in public health positions to do should be your option 1 above.
This just seems like a really long turn around time for type errors. This pushes global type checking into the space of unit testing in terms of time cost. I'd personally much rather have tsc take a second or two and give me the full picture than just hide my eyes until I run unit tests.

Yes, the profit would be something like future price of coal * amount of coal recovered - cost of recovering the coal.

What I don't understand is of these three variables, why you think the expected future price of coal is the one driving the decision. Because that is the only variable that has nothing to do with the mines being sold.

But just think about this a little bit. You have Coal India, which publicly declared plans to ramp up production. That, too, is a statement on the future price of coal (since India imports much of its coal). So obviously Coal India thinks prices will be high enough to justify a ramp up of domestic production even though there is abundant coal available from nations with much more productive mines and higher quality coal. At the same time, Coal India is the one selling off these 60 mines (out of ~400). Why would they do that, if the mines weren't productive, or the cost of coal recovery high from them?

In other words, you are drawing the exact opposite conclusion of what, IMO, should be drawn, and relying on this dubious oracle to predict future coal prices, when we have much better data with which to predict future coal prices.
As someone who worked on this it was exciting to get Replay working on three platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows), hopefully proving that our strategy[1] for recording and replaying programs works.

When has Apple ever done this?
Do you have empty shelves in supermarkets as a result? Closed restaurants?

There's a shortage all across Europe, but as far as I have heard it's only in the UK where it's sufficient to cause problems with food distribution.

I always distinguish engineer vs developer in front end dev by asking if you understand how the frontend works (dom, js, css, etc) vs being able to build frontends using an existing framework.

For example, I once interviewed a FE person with 8 years of exp and he was convinced that only react vdom allows to update partial trees and that previously you had to rebuild and rerender the whole dom. He obviously did not understand how things work correctly.
For some reason I've seen many times the phenomenon of dev's using linux or macos, and QA using windows. Replay being available on all three OS's will definitely help unlock an entire org's potential.
For that you can use Github pages and you don't need to touch JS or Cloudflare

I believe part of the problem are the slight syntax variations in different languages/environment. I've been writing regexes in Unix utilities (vim, grep/sed) for the most part and when I found an answer on SO about a specific problem I was trying to solve, it was in JS. I barely understood what was being written to the point I stopped bothering "transcribing" it to UNIX syntax.

Any idea which is the cheapest place to host very light very low traffic static sites ('000s)?

I liked Vercel but their account mgmt exec told me that it will cost '000s of $ p.m.

I'm going for a personal VM right now. I'm assuming it can easily host lots of sites. Not sure but I may be in for lots of surprises if the scaling ever happens.

Would be happy to know from more any experienced folks.
My parents were generally lax on how much computer time I had, with the only time they wouldn't let me use my computer was if I got bad grades in middle and high school (which admittedly was far too frequent...sigh).

I pretty much got all my dad's hand-me-down computers since I was a kid, and as a result I became fairly tech-savy relatively young. Once my parents saw that I was learning to code C++ for fun when I was fifteen, without getting any school credit (and instead of playing video games), they stopped taking my computer away completely; partly because I was getting too old to "ground", and partly because they realized that me showing interest in technical work was probably something they want to encourage.

When I dropped out of college, I was able to find tech work pretty quickly, and built a pretty cool career out of it, and I largely thank the fact that I was constantly tinkering with computers as a kid and teenager for that.

I think it's important to understand how this kind of scenario comes up. It's unusual to want to move a whole PB at one time, and yeah in that case these other costs would come up. Problem is, the cost is more insidious than that.

Consider a scenario where data is coming in periodically, say daily, from some source, server logs, sensor data, whatever. And the user wants to train models daily on the data and they also want to do some SQL. Maybe they ingest the data directly into SF and copy it out for training, or they do it the other way round, land it in object store and the ingest into SF. This is unlikely to be a humongous amount of data, it's probably not a PB. However, this adds up, maybe for some use cases it becomes a PB in a month, maybe in a quarter, maybe it only adds up to a PB in a year.

Thing is, without a Lakehouse architecture, the user will pay to store and copy that data multiple times (at least twice) no. matter. what. They may not pay for a PB in one shot, but you can bet that eventually they'll pay multiple times to store and copy that PB.

I may be wrong but it looks like there are some platforms available via Azure and AWS [0]. I appreciate there's not much going on here yet, but I was wondering if it'd be like getting into ML in the early 2000s - a very high risk/high reward opportunity. It'd take considerable effort so I was wondering if anyone has taken that leap to spend their free time keeping up-to date with the hope that eventually this leads to work.

They're not saying EVs or QWACs are themselves less secure than DV. Rather they are saying that they aren't more secure (because of difficulties interpreting them) and so leading users to place more trust in them can hurt the consumers.

>you could possibly be sent back to earth?

I'd guess that'd be a bigger cost than that of keeping Billy (the prisoner to-be) in the habitat, with damages and loss of working man-hours included.

I presume the colonists agree on what'd happen if anyone became a problem in the colony before they set off, but just for thought's sake, if we go into the costs-first way of doing things then it wouldn't be out of the question that the other colonists would just kill Billy, or put him into some other not-alive state:

- Putting Billy into some sort of prison would be a loss of food, man-hours (he's no longer working and someone must keep tabs on him, feed him, and stuff) and space, all precious commodities in Mars.

- Exile would mean certain death without giving Billy a surface-suit (big cost, not replaceable), and even with one it'd also mean an even worse fate in the barren landscapes of Mars. Knowing there's nothing out there for him just means he'd stay around banging at the windows or being an active threat to the survival of the colony.

- I mentioned shipping Billy back in the earlier paragraph.

- Using Billy for compost would be extremely unethical and life-scarring for the other colonists but also the only (I think) cost-positive way to put an end to an irreversibly disruptive colonist. Key-word is 'irreversibly'.

- Rehabilitation is a problem we haven't solved here on Earth yet, hence it's not mentioned as an option, but if you think it can be done please say so in the comments.

Maybe holding Billy captive and replacing him in the next supply-ship cycle could work, and its not the worst option in terms of cost. I guess that's why they screen and test you so hard before taking you in as a candidate.

The morals of this are... don't optimize for costs, and talk things out with those you have a problem with.

The nature establishing their lies is so much quicker now for fake news.

The international coverage of almost all mainstream media is to parrot the lies and be a mouthpiece of the national security state. The lies they do regarding Iraqi WMDs, Syria Chemical attacks, Russiagate, Gulf of Tonkin, Bolivia coup etc...

This is one of my favorite example of fake news:

In the early hours of March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese, a 28-year-old bartender, was stabbed outside the apartment building where she lived in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens in New York City, New York, United States. Two weeks after the murder, The New York Times published an article erroneously claiming that 38 witnesses saw or heard the attack, and that none of them called the police or came to her aid.

Reporters at a competing news organization discovered in 1964 that the Times article was inconsistent with the facts, but they were unwilling at the time to challenge Times editor Abe Rosenthal. In 2007, an article in the American Psychologist found "no evidence for the presence of 38 witnesses, or that witnesses observed the murder, or that witnesses remained inactive". In 2016, the Times called its own reporting "flawed", stating that the original story "grossly exaggerated the number of witnesses and what they had perceived".

Fair enough! That's a good point too, they really are everywhere now. I guess I just am someone who really enjoys a good movie and got that appreciation by growing up watching a couple every week, and I would lament missing out on that.

I think there's much more people that are somewhat inclined to learn these skills and that have access to such equipment than you think. And plenty who don't work in any industry related to electronics that just happen to tinker with electronics as a hobby and effectively have gotten very proficient with a soldering iron. Don't underestimate curious hackers from places where fixing your own equipment makes economic sense.

For me, disassembling my iPhone and replacing its battery was much more difficult than any sort of component-level repair. So if we're letting 'consumers' do that, why not let them also try component level repair?

Unless the road is determined to be a local road, posted speed limits are only enforcable if set by an engineering survey, or if it's at least X, which I think is 60 or 65. But I'm not sure it's illegal to post an unenforcable speed limit, or to ticket against it, it's just that those contesting the ticket will win.
Surprised to see even Apple using Corporate Miami.
If you complain to them about that they will allow you to use an ACH number instead of account credentials.
All true. And I probably deserve the downvote above. But it’s worth considering factors in favor of airfreight (beyond the increased value of getting your cargo sooner).

Cargo ships and aircraft both require crew, so my above comment applies to that portion of the cost. (Mitigated by the fact that crew per tonne of cargo is typically much smaller on a cargo ship than an aircraft.) Crew also have to be paid.

For a given container, the number of times it can be reused per 10 year lifetime is proportional to the speed of the mode of transport. Airplanes are 20 times faster than cargo ships, so the container can be reused 20 times as many times in a given time period. That means it can be optimized to be lighter, etc. A similar argument applies to the rest of the vehicle. And airplane can make a lot more round trips in its lifetime than a cargo ship. (This is of course mitigated by the fact a ship is usually a LOT cheaper to build per unit dry mass.)

Air travel also can be much closer to destination than cargo ship can. This is mitigated by how efficient intermodal transport is, but some countries don’t even have international container ports and most states don’t. Every city has an airport and usually many of them. This makes it harder for local labor issues to cause massive logistical headaches.

It’s also not that uncommon to lose cargo containers overboard during actual transit in sea, which effectively never happens for air freight (as they use extremely safe airliners with cargo inside the contained fuselage).

Anyway, if we could somehow improve the efficiency of air travel by an order of magnitude and reduce the cost of airframe manufacture, it’s not unreasonable to imagine there may be a way for airfreight to become pretty competitive with sea freight even for cargo that isn’t particularly time sensitive.

The Future of Documentation at Canonical
Think about the various tools we have available to us in concentric rings, each with an increasingly longer period.

In the inner most ring, the most readily available, happening almost instantly, we have tools like syntax checking, maybe even LSP calls, linting. Time since writing the code is on the order of ms to a second.

In the outermost ring, the least available we have CICD, these checks happen rarely, often on a push to a central server. Time since writing the code is on the order of 10s of minutes to potentially hours.

I have a really hard time believing that folks are getting so little value out of types, have so few project wide issues, or are so willing to rewrite portions of their work to push type checks into the outer ring of CICD.
Feature branching is a fairly common practice. "Reactions" are emoji that you can use to respond to a post or comment, like Facebook's like/love/laugh/cry/angry, or slack/discord/messenger/chat/whatever's various ways to emoji-reply to messages.

Key word "such". Prescribing which certificates I am obligated to trust is many many steps beyond e.g. banning DRM circumvention (which is itself a step too far IMO).
