Eh, wouldn't the extra weight just degrade the battery performance and maybe the ride handling? If you're considering a new bike, it's like (note these are made up, I have no idea about Zero motorcycles):

- Premium/unlocked Zero: 30k -- range 200km -- handling: excellent

- locked Zero: 25k -- range 150k -- handling: average

These are one physical bike but with two prices and characteristics, and can be judged accordingly. If your budget is 25k you price the locked Zero against other bikes in the same budget.
I doubt we will be Carbon Neutral by then. It means that CO2 levels MUST at least become constant. Looking at the current graph I see CO2 levels not only always increasing, but the rate of increase is also accelerating.

I strongly suspect we will blow all targets and will move along the most pessimistic scenario.
> The point is probably that, if you believe the biosphere is in crisis NOW, then waiting hundreds of years for human populations to decline is not a solution.

I didn't say that waiting for western countries to decline to 5% of their populations was solution. Hope that cleared things up for you.

> There's an odd disconnect in the comments you've been making where you identify this problem of overpopulation, but seem extremely reticent to describe what you think should be done about this problem you've identified. Maybe I've missed it, and I plan to continue reading the thread to see if that's the case, but if I haven't, let me ask you directly: what, if anything, should be done about human overpopulation?

What's really odd is that you think an observation is verboten if it does not come with any solutions! Very strange. I don't think your question is the big gotcha you're hoping for though. In general, policies should be geared toward limiting population growth or reducing it, which as I said then makes all other environmental efforts proportionately less difficult.

Most of the highest consuming countries have naturally declining populations, so one thing would be to leave those alone rather than institute growth policies. Another would be to invest in education, healthcare, and other quality of life measures in other countries which are shown to reduce population growth over time. Another one would be to end global environmental and trade agreements which incentivize countries to boost population and limit quality of life with per-capita concessions. For a few examples.
Doesn't the meth in methamphetamine regret to the methyl group that it contains?
Of course I can't speak about your experiences, but I think the reason for this are mostly business goals. At least I have the impression that lots of developers care for technical excellence, but often that is not desirable from a business perspective.

That said, I really wish this wasn't the case. I miss the days when efficient software really mattered (just look at modern tv firmwares, or even mobile stuff).

They seem to support the current version and the previous two before that. So Mojave is not getting support, but Catalina is at this time. But be careful what you wish for -- the last Catalina security update broke software using openGL accelerated graphics for Apple computers with integrated Intel HD4000 graphics. This includes Google Earth, Google Street view, AutoDesk, RStudio and many web apps. So a lot of people have had to revert to older unsupported MacOS versions just to get any work done.
The thing is this is only a cynical political world view. Political in the larger sense that also includes the machinations of corporations and NGOs, but still only limited to a certain area of life.

You'll truly darken when you start seeing your everyday relations in the same way, and you don't have to.

I also tend to see large orgs in a cynical light, mainly because everyone I know says bad things about them.

But I find that plenty of people are still good people. You can still deal with them with your cards on the table, and they do the same with you. Plus there's plenty of things to appreciate that aren't rivalrous, eg nerd knowledge, that are interesting and create a bond when you can share them.

just such a bizarre thing to see for a not-3rd world state

Unfortunately I'm not sure how valid this couching is any more. A lot of what was historically perceived as "third world" started from a POV that was 1950s - 1970s America, where the rest of the world was still either under communism or recovering from the ashes of WWII.

Today, there are many hundreds of cities & states in Asia that far outshine many US and European cities & states in "developedness". The problem is that the leadership in these Western places refuse to realise they can't keep relying on historical achievement to compete in the 21st Century.

I think polarisation within the voters is not necessarily a bad thing, you need to stick to your ideas, and somehow if someone is for wealth redistribution and public infrastructure and someone considers that taxation is theft it's hardly a situation that can be mixed within the people, or if someone wants to lock immigrants in a cage and someone wants open border it's hardly matchable. but I think this is where the power of the democratic process comes to mind, if you have people actually voting according to their ideas, the representation that those ideas would make sure that within parliament there is a balance of those point of view, so like, maybe let's not completely open the border, but make it dependent on immigrant background, or let's decrease taxes and public spending by cutting some money waste, etc. Voters I think must be polarised, it is the parliament who needs to create a balance through discussion.

I mean I am not sure if I am polarised but sticking to the example I am not sure what my point of rendez-vous would be with a guy who considers taxation as theft for example

Principe of least surprise.

Humans expect tools to be at arm height. Do not work against natural assumptions. If you increase cognitive load, that's that much more attention diverted in a state where attention is already maxed out or otherwise in shortage.

Could Tesla have put up adversarial triggers nearby their own facilities to test, and it overlapped on whatever opencv or vision package pony.ai is using?

Using invisible-to-humans paint on signs for adversarial recognition attacks on autonomous driving systems would also be an anti-Tesla tactic not entirely unreasonable to consider.

"Tesla autopilot crashes right outside Tesla factory!" would be a desired headline for a certain crowd.

It'll be interesting to see what caused this, at any rate, probably less than 1% chance the above is what happened.

What method exactly are you going to use?

If the argument is "X isn't encapsulated in the material" then surely removing the material should leave X intact. The other option is experimenting on what actually encapsulates X, but non materialists have a tendency to say what actually encapsulates X cannot be interacted with nor observed.

Yet they somehow claim that the non interactable non observable stuff is the actual mechanism by which things work. Which begs the question of how they reached that answer to begin with... since it's non interactable and non observable

Unless you got good reason to believe that there is more to it, you don't attach additional meta proprieties that no one can investigate, even from first principles (and this part is important, because it could be that the investigation methods simply haven't got there yet)
My hatred is due to the fact that if you image search for something, e.g. a product, click on what you think is the product’s site, however you end up on someone’s Pinterest board. From there, there’s no way to get back to the original site. And the biggest annoyance is that the search results always seem to rank better than originals.

I think we should differentiate between single-use programs and those that are more of an investment. Like, my torrent client should not be too clever as I will use it haphazardly with way too much time between starts, so anything I should memorize about it will likely be forgotten by the next time.

But on the other hand, things like photoshop, blender and even microsoft word and general uis absolutely fall into the investment category. You have no chance to discover by accident how to create a complex scene in blender for example — “pros” will always have new tricks for you. These are very complex programs where even your hierarchical menus would overflow with info — so now you have context-dependent right clicks bringing out menus not available otherwise. And I think it is a really great design, originating from the very first GUIs! But it only makes sense for us because we have already learned over the years/decades that right clicking is a cool trick oftentimes providing more functionality. It is a cross-program convention. While available on the menu bar, alt+tab is also not an instinctual thing to press, we had to learn that as well.

Now phones did have to reinvent many things and whether we like it or not, newer generations’ first instinct will be touch based, not mouse cursor based. I also see no evil in trying to create UXes that could potentially benefit from both touch and cursor-based usage. These new conventions has to be created though and hopefully one standardish way will emerge.
"Russian ambassador Vassily Nebenzia complained that Monday’s proposed resolution would turn “a scientific and economic issue into a politicized question”, divert the council’s attention from what he called “genuine” sources of conflict in various places and give the council a pretext to intervene in virtually any country on the planet."

Sounds right to me.
Several months ago I decided to split my time 50/50, spend mornings on dev, and afternoons on marketing. it worked quite well so far. At least way better than the 99% dev and 1% marketing I-will-start-just-after-this-last-bugfix. I tried 1 week / 1 week before but during the marketing week I was overwhelmed by the wish to work on a new feature, or fix this damn bug :)
I think you gave a very good description of "progressive reality": a mixture of unrealistic assumptions about human nature mixed with good intentions that went wrong and all of this advertised by crafty people who know how to get rich by being "progressive".
They don't care, until a kernel panic causes disk corruption in just the right way to cause a cross-security-boundary information leak that also ends up breaking an entire global pipeline, or a rare buffer overread in a ubiquitous piece of code causes once in a petabyte mismatches in cross-checked processes with compliance implications.

Can that not be attributed to Android or even Arduino? If we are talking about OS I would exclude arduino. In terms of Apple, they made the switch from PPC to x86 and ARM, the App Store made developers money and that allowed a huge repository of applications to exist so that Apple would move their computers.

Even before Pi my router had DDWRT, I don't think Pi did very much.

I’d say this for most digital interfaces in anime. They really hit the “thud effect” perfectly (blame a PM for that absolutely astonishing phraseology), where a UI manages to actually become part of the timing and beat of an audio-visual narrative.

Ex: there are few things in life as utterly satisfying as watching gigantic mechanicals lock firmly into place and a big screen filling digital display say something of the effect of “ENGAGEMENT OK”. I don’t know what it is, but it _works_.
I've seen the same with Hebrew. It's not nearly as widely spoken as Arabic but graphic artists like to include it on their designs and so on because of the unique letters which really contrast to the Latin alphabet.

Mistakes include:
1) Left to right letters
2) Bad translations, especially dating to the days when Google translate was not as good.
3) Incorrect grammar e.g. singular instead of plural, masculine words mixed with feminine. "Welcome" should be plural unless you really only want to welcome one person!
4) Spelling typos

I loved reading the explanations of the kernel patches. Sharp writing, *@fb.com!
I think formlising an assessment like that makes some sense, but the question was more around what the assurances are. So it probably works like this:

#1 You look at the dependency and do an assessment on whether it's worth including. Check.

#2 You probably require some automated checks. SAST, Depedency Scanning / SCA, maybe some DAST, etc. Check

The outstanding question though...

#1 Did anyone actually read the code of the depedency?

#2 Did anyone actually look at what the depedency itself pulls in?

#3 Are these checks re-done when you update the lock files?

#4 If nobody is doing it, who's updating the lists and rules we use to scan from?

#5 Where possible do you have the monitoring to check when an app is doing something weird? i.e. network ACLs that when they fail, cause an event, that alerts a person to investigate?

I think we're mostly agreeing here, but the wider question is why is it that folks writing the app and including the depdency don't feel responsible for these things?

> Don't ever take dating advice from women. What women think they want and what they actually want are two different things.

This. When women give dating advice they imagine themselves being asked out by an attractive guy. The thing is, the same exact action yields to two drastically different reaction depending on whether she considers the guy as a potential sexual partner or not.

For example, saying a little innuendo from the attractive male will be seen as flirting. The same remark from someone she's not attracted will be labeled as sexual harassment. And this is the case with every possible action. Touching her butt? Totally ok if she's into you. Better have a good lawyer otherwise.
There are still choices between finding ways to work within the system and making the best of the situation or completely giving up and resigning to the fact that nothing will ever get better.

micro-USB requires a different extended connector for 3.0 [1], and I don't think there is a mini-USB 3.0. USB-A is generally coded with a different color and the extra pins are clearly visible [2], especially when you hold a 2.0 cable side-by-side. So it is all quite clear except for USB-C.

> Using std::variant feels like a trolling from the language designers who refused to provide proper type-safe unions into the language.

And, alas, deliberate trolling would be preferable to reality.

Deliberate trolling would indicate a conscious design. C++ accumulated cruft over the years in what looks like brownian motion in retrospect, and almost never shed any.
That is a great read! I like the rather simple root-cause, the bad master data Mel identified and sorted out. Stuff like that is usually covered up by excess inventory, now with all the supply chain issues, those issues disrupt things.

And it shows the one point I always try to drive across: Logistics and Supply Chain is a people business. No amount of ML, algorithms and cooperation / collaboration tools can change that. If things get hairy, pick up the phone and talk to people. Even better, use 21st century tech to automate routine stuff and use the free time to talk and build relationships with people at your supplier or customers.

Yes, but it is the norm. As far as I can tell, the UK, France and Belarus are the only countries in Europe without some form of proportional representation in elections for parliament. France tends to have a more fragmented result partly because of a tradition for a lot of electoral alliances etc. between the main parties to counter the effects of the electoral system and partly because it doesn't use First Past the Post. The UK and Belarus are the only two countries in Europe to use FPTP exclusively (Poland uses it for its senate but not for its lower house)

Do you want the "difficult client" to walk around to other prospects, warning them about how you tried to scam them with an outrageous price?

> [...] there are plenty of good modern memory-safe languages, but not many with Rust-style freedom from data-races.

Haskell's Software-Transactional-Memory (and general focus on immutability-by-default) are another interesting approach towards the same goal.

Software Transactional Memory (STM) is perhaps much easier to get started with than Rust's model. (Though the same can not be said for the rest of Haskell.) The failure model with STM is that your stuff runs slow, if you don't know what you are doing.
This won’t work for empirical research. I vividly recall weeks spent trying to reproduce a paper on information retrieval (a deep learning model). What saved me is skimming through the author’s codebase and chancing upon an undocumented sampling step. They were only using the first and last passage in a document as training data and uniformly sampling from 10% of the remaining passages, and the paper didn't mention this. I adopted their sampling strategy, and i was able to obtain their results.

My argument is that there are nuances and subtleties that are often omitted in a paper (accidentally or otherwise), but are nevertheless required to reproduce the research.
