NO language is free from long-standing sources of annoyance.

If you doubt that, look at inconsistencies in English verb tenses, or pronunciations in French, or (English again) the spelling or words. Or even the myriad of alphabets out there.
Hilarious!

I've never been in one (and don't intend to), but that precisely describes what I imagine being in a Tesla to be like from watching videos of it.

The funniest one I've seen was the one where they were following a truck full of stop signs, and it appeared on the screen like a bubble machine endlessly creating stop signs.

These things are funny to watch but terrifying to me that something this half-baked could be released into the public.

There's also the recent one where it was going to drive the car directly into a pole until the driver grabbed the wheel at the last moment.

It's definitely a hard problem, but I believe that Tesla's hubris will NOT be rewarded.
Something I'm not seeing in this discussion is that commands entered via keyboard are typically in English or an English mnemonic. That excludes most of the world's population. Are there command line style interfaces that are commonly used but not English based?
My understanding is that in fact we don't know. A likely explanation for its disappearance is that it ran out of susceptible hosts. Specifically, we have no evidence of a successor virus that was both less lethal, and induced immunity to the original.
This appears (almost too conveniently) to be a subset of the things mentioned in this video. https://youtu.be/qUeud6DvOWI

mCoding is one of my favorite creators for improving my python skills. I almost always learn something useful in his videos.
Ahh yes, lets blame capitalism for all things. You do realize that capitalism created the vaccine in the first place? That with out capitalism you would have no vaccine to complain about people refusing to take?

I really am tried to seeing capitalism blamed on all the worlds problem when it has been capitalism more than anything else that has brought both peace and prosperity to the world
We had one of these at work. A friend observed, "It's silent when it's off."
I bought a reMarkable 2 and used it for about a week and then stopped using it. It's not really because it was bad in any way, it's more that it's not sufficiently better than actual paper notebooks. I suppose I had grandiose thoughts of how great it would be to have my written notes turned into digital text files, but in fact, I mostly write notes for my own thinking, not because they will be of any use to me to refer to in the future. I initially blamed myself for not adapting to the new better method and kept it, thinking I'd eventually see the light. Now, I wish I had returned it while I had the chance.
I was on a team that handled a lot of things that way, and we made a deliberate, conscious shift to pull them into oncall rotations. We found that it was severely compromising work-life balance; engineers outside of the old guard thought they were expected to work most nights and most weekends, because they'd constantly see people get bonuses and accolades for some stuff they did at 6PM Saturday. I personally enjoy the "work whenever you want, play whenever you want" model, but I really don't think it works as an oncall policy.
Sure, I thought this was a common experience, and I’d love to hear how you get around it.

The tidyverse is absolutely full of breaking changes. Two big ones off of the top of my head: dropping underscore functions like mutate_, and turning common column names into new function names. So in different organizations you might see two patterns:

* Monolith - everyone uses a set of R packages from 2017 or whatever (frozen in time either through MRAN or Nexus)

* Wild dockerization - one team’s internal tooling is incompatible with the other team’s, so working across teams you gotta rely on Docker a lot

Why? Cause there’s not really a good way to pin versions besides shrinkwrapping, at least in my experience. We tried Drake, but Drake itself had so many breaking changes that it gained a really bad rep (from what I hear from colleagues, haven’t used it myself). Tried renv but it was destroying some of our analyst’s setups (like, you just get a bomb icon in Rstudio). Didn’t troubleshoot it too much, kinda just gave up.

I don’t like forcing a specific vintage of packages, but I like everything else less.
If people are thinking that small creators bring universally better value than big creators then they're in the right to give them money.

I, for example, dislike Take Two's way of intimidating modders so I'm trying to avoid giving them money.
Wouldn't take the word on "intelligence" from someone who ignorantly conflates Alex Jones with Dr. Tyrone Hayes [1].

You sir, sound most unintelligent, arrogant, and most uninformed (Except by approved media sources-- I'm sure you accept everything hook, line, and sinker without critical analysis)

Yes, I understand that the times you had symptoms, the infection was confirmed to be flu.

What wasn't tested (or detected) were the times when you were asymptommatic but still infected with one the many influenza variants.

English is a little problematic when it comes to describing infectious disease. In all cases, there is the disease agent (e.g. an influenza virus) and there are the disease symptoms (e.g. "flu"). But we tend to say "I had the flu" without it being clear if we mean "the disease agent was present" or "i had the symptoms".
A hypothetical situation is why people don’t trust experts?
Johnson publicly announced the SR-71 in 1964, so the plane wasn’t top secret at the time (in the mid 1970s).

Is that really a newer thing?

My ancient high school had 45-degree windows (for theft and suicide prevention I imagine). Why lock it all down? Cost?
Engineered vs evolved.

For sure you can take a virus and knock out the bad bits - but I believe we have no evidence this has occurred in the wild due to selection pressure.
Over half? I think you've read my post incorrectly.

I preemptively answered this by saying extended friends and family are a top source of transit.

But yes, walking, bus systems, getting rides, for some demographics, ride shares. Cities like Atlanta and Dallas have low economic mobility because you can't get anywhere except by car.
The problem with this is how you indicate to users that tooltips exist via the long press action. I personally never knew that long press to show a tooltip was the "generally agreed upon way" to show tooltips, and it would be a lot simpler to just have a button label.
Definitely true, and that's also one of the reasons Australia has had it so mildly on the global scale. South Australia has had, I think, only four deaths, and this unbelievably low number is, I think, one of the benefits of being on the island of Australia, and not being particularly recognised as a tourist destination in the way Sydney and Melbourne and various part of Queensland are.

ie. South Australia has the ocean borders of Australia and the psychological borders of unpopularity. The combination of which has proven incredibly effective.
lockdowns are profoundly politically unpopular - from economics, to convenience, to the enormous burden of closing schools, no politician wants to lock down anything, for any amount of time, without an amazingly good reason, period.
Vinegar: Safari extension that replaces YouTube embeds with HTML5 video tags
I imagine the Swiss have dealt with similar situations, I wonder what they would suggest? Pay employees way more is probably step one. I'm the "build more housing" guy, but it looks like the Swiss have chosen a different path?
I’ve been running betas and yes, links are sometimes troublesome.

Responsiveness on pinch zooming feels very different also.
I want to create incentives against things that make things easier for experts if they also make things harder for novices. Successful projects aren't those which make their experts the most productive, they are those which make the onboarding experience easiest. This is proven time and time again, at least in all of the contexts in which I inhabit.
You mean Brexit, which started 3 years before the Syrian refugee crisis and Marie Le Pen, whose support numbers moved from 17.8% to 21.3% after the Syrian refugees? That's your "major fracturing"? Meanwhile Poland and Hungary have been moving to a far right dictatorship pretty steadily.
Same here. Noticed it since upgrading to IOS 15. Pinch/spread to zoom out/in in safari is also sometimes infuriatingly difficult to do now too. They’ve screwed something up in the touch/gesture support.

Edit: also in case anyone from Apple is reading this, I’m also constantly accidentally switching to the tab overview screen when I attempt to scroll down, which is a new annoying gesture I never ran into before and now wish I could disable.

Edit 2: my typing is also less accurate now too. I don’t have any hard evidence here, but anecdotally I am CONSTANTLY typing “abd” now instead of “and,” which makes no sense at all, given autocorrect.
I’ve had this happen for at least a year now, not just the latest iOS. Very rarely and very randomly, but enough that I notice it. Never had the issue OP is talking about though. iOS Safari too.
I don't think it excludes anyone. My native language has nothing to do with English, but I was pretty comfortable with an English-based set of keyboard shortcuts. It's just something to memorize, and that's it.
Updating to the latest version and running it shouldn't be how you review them for dependencies. You can follow the development of a few packages you care about and review them immediately, while not blindly running cutting-edge everything at all times.
In much of the world for much of the year, it doesn't get below freezing for at least part of the day. The solution to the heating problem is simple then: simply don't. Open windows when it's above 50F / 10C (to give a healthy safety margin to the water pipes) and tell people to wear sweaters.

Do this where it's possible and you'll offset the energy expenditure of heating in places were it actually earnestly gets cold. And for that matter, limit their thermostats to 50F / 10C too. Being able to wear t-shirts in the winter when there's a blizzard outside is an absurd luxury.
> That with out capitalism you would have no vaccine to complain about people refusing to take?

Cuba, which is as far away from capitalism as you can get these days, has created five different vaccines. And in any case it wasn't capitalism that created the popular vaccines... the mRNA vaccines build up on decades of public-funded research, the Oxford/AZ vaccine was funded by the university endowment IIRC.
Also known as force touch on an iPhone.
> If it is recognised that you mine on more than one fork at a time, you lose the security deposit you gave before the fork.

Yes, modern proof-of-stake algorithms work this way. The caveat is that at some point (on the order of months later) the security deposit is refunded, and at that point you can lie about the past without consequence. But this is a limited attack: you can only successfully lie to someone who has been offline since you were a staker, or else they would already have a record of the real successor chain (which now has a new set of stakers, who themselves still have their security deposit deposited).
> I'm almost afraid to ask since it's such a given, but do employees actually get fired for choosing the wrong vendor? I've heard it repeated in quite a few contexts, and I'm unsure if I should interpret it literally. At worst, I would expect the executive has a slightly tarnished reputation for picking what ended up being a bad partner.

It wasn't just picking the wrong vendor but one of our competitors got a new CTO after a critical system was poorly migrated to the cloud.
I'm not particularly paranoid, but I do notice mineral buildup over time from tap water. In fact, my dishwasher may be end-of-life because of it.

(and of course, as others have said, bacteria, amoeba, disinfecting chemicals, minerals from the house's pipes... did I mention that I'm not paranoid? :) :) )

But YMMV -- if you're happy with reverse osmosis, go for it.
Yes. I have to paw at certain things two or three times. The worst is the flashlight icon on the lock screen.

I have to press it like a physical button as opposed to "tap".
In the context of the claim that, once vaccinated, you are in "no risk at all" for symptomatic COVID19, I don't think it's misleading: significant numbers of fully vaccinated individuals can and do become sick with the disease. Ergo, even when fully vaccinated, you still face some risk.

None of this is an argument against vaccination, of course.
Glad to see an Algo dev here.
That's true. I have a trove of CRTs for playing Melee :)

But for the average N64 classic, a commercial HDTV with an upscaler works fine. A high refresh rate monitor also works great (even for something as precise as Melee.)
Viruses don't circulate bare in the air. Droplets containing viruses do. It's thought that it's mostly carried within droplets that are 5um or larger.

Just in case smaller particles have a substantial role, I quoted the 1um number.
Why is it thirteen instead of ten-three?

Because lanuages are illogical, with lots of historic baggage.
>Some sort of standardized metaverse protocol is absolutely the next layer that will put the current "internet" to shame.

Yeah, no... that was true until Facebook came along and decided they owned "the metaverse," and then the hype train suddenly and all but universally decided they did, before they even did anything.

Facebook is going to write the standard and the protocol and it probably won't be game changing in a way anyone likes.
With seasons seemingly getting shorter and/or worse (due to what I assume to be global warming) and the lines just getting absolutely ridiculous [1], I think I've accepted the fact that skiing/snowboarding is going to be a different experience for my kids.

That experience probably won't be at a traditional mountain like Killington, Vail, etc. The lines will be too long, too expensive, just overall it will suck.

Honestly, I'm considering doing a hike up to the mountain/ski down thing because the alternative is to go to even more exotic locations (Niseko, maybe Lebanon?) which would cost even more money.

I wonder why latency issue on video playback isn't solved in major platforms. Just also delay video along with audio.
Herbs and Spices Might Contain Arsenic, Cadmium, and Lead
No mention of "demand" and only one of "supply:" "The limited supply of affordable housing for workers has been a challenge for decades." Prices occur where demand and supply intersect. There are two ways to lower them: lower demand or raise supply. Supply restrictions raise prices.

There are a lot of words here that fail to deal with price fundamentals.
The names having nothing to do with China.

They were the 'Brazil Variant' , 'South African Variant' and later 'Indian Variant'.

They changed to a more regularized system which is fair.

Having the 5B plebes hear about 'The Brazil Variant' I think is just bad populism.

When this is all over, if historians want to refer to it as the 'Chinese Flu' then so be it ...
I can't speak to every field but in Architecture/Engineering the software became a lot less power user friendly with the switch from AutoCAD to Revit.

AutoCAD had a command line. You could pick commands from the menu, or type them directly. You could make shortcuts for the commands. From there it was a short jump to stringing together several typed commands into a short script. There was a built-in scripting language (AutoLisp, a lisp dialect). The command line was also a repl, so you could type snippets of code and execute them on your drawing and see the effects immediately, making it easy to experiment.

Revit has none of this. Everything is menu driven. There is a macro system, but you have to go hunting for it. There's also a way to build add-ons and extensions by downloading an SDK and learning C++ or C#, but that's not really the same as making a quick script to automate some repetitive task. There's no command line. Even the newer versions of AutoCAD hide the command line in the default configuration. If you don't know to go looking for it, you'll never find it.
As someone that has smoked most of his 20s away, your comment is absolute misinformed bollocks.
I think a another analogy is that you had a plumber do some work for you a day before a leak, and in the middle of the night the pipes start leaking and you need to call him out to prevent property damage. In that case I would absolutely not expect to have to pay extra because he warranties his own work.
(Grossness warning)

Good question. I notice the water comes out the other nostril, so it can't be totally a dead end, right?

That's why I prefer the squeeze bottle to the Neti pot, actually -- more force to the water.
Not just offer it for sale, but if you ever publish it. Once you've let something be part of the common culture, it belongs to the people.
It's obviously true that some people try to use Covid to further their political agenda, as many people (including high profile politicians) openly say so.

Nevertheless it seems more likely to me that memes are kind of self organizing, no coordinated effort is necessary. Media of course is simply interested in creating a stir and pushing the most sticky memes (usually fear, hate, chaos...).
By that logic small scam game devs would be on par with other small creators.

I don't think it's because of relative value of money.
I’m on a team of six in the same time zone. None of us are going to conveniently be watching the alerts at 4 AM Sunday. One of us has to get woken up who wasn’t planning to be well rested for anything that day.
A Cure for Type 1 Diabetes?
I quite like the rules in the Tirol - you can only own property if you live there. No second homes, no big hotels, no renting out houses. Just small owner operated hotels and locals.
Yea there doesn't seem to be one generally believed consensus. The ATC guys may simply be wrong about not having access to VHF. It could be that it depends on the mission as to whether or not they would be using them. But they could also be right that an SR wouldn't be asking for speed checks or that ATC can't see their real speed in some way. I don't know.
If the market could build its way out of this, it already would have. There's not enough money in building and leasing units to rent to burger-flippers and dog-walkers, when there are millionaires lining up to make all-cash purchases.

You either have to pay people enough to afford a mortgage in the area, or you watch all your manual laborers move to the big cities.
The UK used to have private prosecution. If you're interested in this topic, there's a chapter on it in the book Legal Systems Very Different From Our Own.
Maybe. Once I neglected to mix in the saline - bicarbonate powder, and did it ever burn. I think that's what makes it less nasty than getting water up your nose when you're swimming.
>That everything has been copyable is the accident that keeps giving. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

It is science fiction right now, but who knows in say, 30 years.
My point is, if it did become a reality, I assume you would be against it right? What would be your reason? Because a chimp can't be trained to do it? That seems kinda arbitrary to me.

"Computer facial recognition is simply digitising human workflow"
I get that, but that one simple change comes with a tremendous increase in power and responsibility. And I'm not convinced the pros outweigh the cons. Maybe if there was an "opt-in" clause then I'd be a little less concerned. Like "If you want the government to keep an eye on you and a record of everywhere you go, sign here."
I think a lot of places should have rules like that. At least they should heavily tax any home that isn't used as a primary residence (either by the owner or a renter).
probably anything with a heartbeat.
The problem with these studies is the mild symptom cases may never even be reported as cases, I know alot of people that had covid symptoms but never got tested, and would never get tested unless it got to the point where they needed medical care. So if you just had a "pretty bad" flu and sat at home you likely never got tested, and thus would never show up in these studies

Hell I know a couple people that were told by local medical center to not even bother with the test, they just assumed it was covid, was told to self isolate and monitor.
There really is something to be said about the Command Pallete and UX design as a whole. I started out using Sublime Text as that was the easiest out-of-the-gate editor. I then spent several years in a fully customized tmux + vim configuration. A lot of fun! But it got stale, and then I spent several years in Emacs. And then VSCode came along with a lot of conveniences, and thus I used that for a year or two. Now, almost a decade after teaching myself how to program and making a career out of it, I’m back to using a pretty bare bones Sublime environment. It does what I need and it does it fast. My inner quest to become The Poweruser has been replaced by a quaint appreciation of simplicity. Thanks Sublime! (though it should be said: I’ve always used Vim-bindings, the pinnacle, in all these apps)

David Friedman's Legal Systems Very Different From Our Own has a chapter on the Icelandic legal system.
> Software developers thinking that 16GB is a small amount of RAM is why all of our software is fat barges of bloat now

no, that's not the reason.

Anyway, it's 2021,16gb max for a new laptop in 2021 is factually low.

Laptops had 16GB max more than 10 years ago.

I think it's fair to criticize the specs of one of the most expensive pieces of hardware on the market if they are somewhat underwelming and when even new game consoles have the same amount of RAM, at a fraction of the price, with only one thing to do.

edit: not comparing the performances or the energy efficiency here, but a Dell with a ryzen 5700 and 16gb of RAM (upgradable) costs € 829, an M1 with the same amount of RAM and less storage space costs € 1.659 on Apple website

I think Apple could have done better in this regards
