I think that's not the kind of car sharing they mean.

The car belongs to a car sharing company. In Munich for example there is Share Now, Miles, Sixt Share, and some specialized ones. The cars are parked all over the city in normal parking spots on the side of the road. Using the app, you find the closest one, usually you'll find 2 or 3 within 500 meters (strongly depending where you are). You select it in the app, walk up to the car, use the app to unlock and are ready to go.

They are usually paid by the minute, but there is also packages for multiple hours or days. But I think for renting over multiply days, normal car renting is better. Sixt is pretty good. Takes no more than 5 minutes to pick up the car. You don't reserve a specific type, but a class of car. And when I reserve the cheapest class, until now I was upgraded to the higher class every single time. They even have a "Lucky Class" which will explicitly get you whatever they have available, up to the really nice ones.
What actually is Tumblr business model? I never seem to see any ads on the few occasions I end up on a Tumblr page.
There is also the effect that buses arrive imprecisely and consequently may be best modeled as a Poisson distribution of arrival times. If this is the case and buses arrive on average every 15 minutes, then passengers arriving at random will wait not 7.5 minutes but 15 on average.

Intuitively, think of throwing a dart at the time line. We are more likely to hit the line in the bigger gaps between buses’s arrivals than between buses that arrive close to each other.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution
A license key alone is about as useful as a key in real life. If someone decides to change the locks, you're out.

Decentralizing that doesn't change anything. Crypto is once again just trying to solve something through burning coal and oil that was solved decades ago far more efficiently. Want to reclaim your game? Fire up a torrent. No need for a ponzi scheme.
> Since they buy thousands of cars they get the lowest prices possible from manufactures

They also don't get much to choose in which models, and that's the actual point of the thing.

The overall problem is fitting low elasticity in production vs variability in consumer demand.

Once you understand that problem is pervasive, you see solutions to it everywhere:

* Why do multi-fruit juices never advertise the exact composition of the blend? Because it's variable! They do production arbitration, they lower waste in overproduction of some juices (which depends on weather)

* Same thing with cooking oils. In France we have 'isio', which is a blend of 4 oils. Again, though not much advertised, these are variable in their content.

* Same thing with industrial cheese. These are made out of surpluses of various other cheeses.

* Sausages: variable content again (it even got into the a language expression!). Sometimes the demand is lower for some low grades of meat; and that's where they get turned into sausage.

* All of these also being arbitraged by promotions and coupons!

We talk of the market and have beautiful models of matching one demand to one supply, but really things are much more intertwined than what is seen at first glance.
For these sorts of micro-benchmarks you can usually attain interesting results with Java. I once constructed specifically designed to show how the JVM's ability to online and un-inline code could make certain programs much faster than C.
I used Zappa a little bit a few years ago, and that was alright but not my favorite way to deploy an app. Since then, I've pretty much exited the AWS ecosystem and use GCP almost exclusively (though occasionally I am forced to use AWS). I'm wondering if you've considered using Google App Engine which has a generous free tier and doesn't have any of the CDN issues Zappa has. It's my go-to for web apps.
I disagree.

McDonald's hamburgers and fries are way less greasy than most fast food joints, and the kiosk allows easily reducing the quantity of sauce in the burgers and salt in the fries. As such, it can be relatively healthy from a macronutrients perspective, while satisfying fast food cravings.

The vegetable salads are very fresh and pretty good, which can accommodate people on strict diets.

The kiosks also free workers to clean up tables more frequently and assist customers in various ways.

Of course this can vary from location to location, especially as so many McDonald's are franchised. But the actual experience at my local spots is enjoyable nowadays.
Original route plan was exactly that, but there are reason why that route wasn't taken. This plan has been open for a decade aka ROTACS. But Russia started to build their own cable Polar Express - https://www.arctictoday.com/work-on-a-russian-trans-arctic-f...
The expensive price of the tests is actually a whole different problem. For the last tests that I bought at Walgreens (InteliSwab) I paid around $25 for two tests.

Meanwhile I'm currently in Europe and as a consumer I can buy Antigen tests for around 3 Euro per test (would be less than 2 Euro if bought in bulk). As far as I know those prices are not subsidized.
That was the idea behind it, make it readable and plugable for everyone. A good documentation is still missing for all the helper functions, but one day it will be there.
I just want to install Simula OS on the quest 2. Quest is the only affordable option for me.
Your linked post is not really a good example for that — escape analysis is very finicky without language-level semantic guarantees the compiler could use. With the proposed Valhalla changes Optional will be a value-class and these optimizations become trivial.

Especially when you return a value, it is more than likely to escape.

I made a satire game about Trump a few years ago. It got banned so many times from the AppStore and I had to write in long messages explaining how they are imposing their wrong interpretations onto my work and it took several weeks of messaging back and forth with them until they understood. They forced me to remove content from the app that I saw on Twitter using the iOS Twitter app. They did not force Twitter to remove the content. They banned my game for being pornographic because one of the mini games was called ‘Make Ivanka come’ but in the game you just had to call Ivanka to the president’s desk to get professional advice. The purpose of this obviously being satire to remind people how screwed up things are. Banning satire is like 1984, but banning porn also is in my opinion. At the same time the BBC runs reports about kids using Instagram to sell drugs which can cause actual harm. How can this be?
Risking is one option, but there is another one: the breaking might take more than one generation an that is something which is often overlooked by the modern discourse. Every next generation might end up a bit better off and on the timespan of 50 years the poverty cycle will be broken.
An APM tool could help you find the real cause of the slowness instead of guessing.

I used datadog recently to find the exact line of code that would bring CPU to 100%. Since it's quite pricey, I only used it for the couple of weeks I needed it.
Very impressive..3D printing tech and modular homes are innovative and can solve the housing issue.

If govts and unions will allow this to happen. In CA, for example..state/county and labour unions will fight this tooth and nail.

Because housing will become affordable and tax receipts will plummet. The tech tho’ is essential and rather nice. Altho’ there will be a scramble for proprietary concrete mixes and there will be a panic first and then the hurdles will start piling up.

It’s exciting and a tad depressing at the same time due to the usual suspects kicking off shenanigans by Big Gov’s business as usual.
You could also use the PC kindle app to download books and strip their DRM. That might be easier than transferring every book back and forth.
(I use the kindle 1.26 version. It requires an additional plugin to convert the new amazon format, but works with DeDRM after that.)
> that there is no such thing as a separate gate for arrivals

For those interested: I ported FreeRTOS 9 to an nRF52840 in my previous job.
This family used a lot. It's in my Tado smart radiator knobs, in the AirTags.

I can only compare it to FreeScale chips, but one thing that pleasantly surprised me is the flexibility in pin-assignment. Instead of the pin-mux that we'd have to do on the MK24, I could just assign pins during usb/i2c init without any limitations.
The SDK is quite elaborate, although sometimes a bit difficult to use in C++.
That's unfortunate. Anyone that isn't being paid similar piles of money shouldn't be made to feel any work-hour pressure based on what a CxO does.
As a Hindu, my world outlook would be unchanged.
If you need a few line here an there scripting, sure Lua, JS, PHP... whatever works.

Using these languages for large projects is where the trouble starts: as they push you towards bad solutions that we know are bad for many decades. You need clear description of how to avoid these pittfals, or your growing codebase slowly becomes unmanageable.

I ended up ditching a growing Lua codebase for this reason. Get out before it gets to big to get out.
Winning 50 coin flips in a row is lucky. Winning 50 coin flips out of 100 is persistence.

Quitting after 3 coin flips because the flipper sneered at you is called being a quitter. Maybe it was unfair and unlucky that he sneered, but the reason you didn't get 50 wins isn't because the world is unfair or that you are unlucky. It is because you didn't flip a coin 100 times.

Certain ideologies empower you for success. Others turn you into a victim.
Apart from the questionable code quality of the benchmarks: JavaScript can be impressively fast in very small benchmarks, but things change very quickly with real applications.

Java has way more information, thanks to the type system, and can do a much better job with optimizations.
> these are poor minorities in a white mans world

If we're in the reality of accepting that culture, patterns of behavior, and what thoughts are inculcated in people actually impact the outcomes they'll net in life, then I hope we can start legitimately talking about the harm that comes from attitudes like the one you've laid out. The idea that, say, a black person need not even try, because they'll just be attempting in vain in what is ultimately a white man's world...it's horseshit, and it does far more harm than good.

The reality is that almost every elite institution is geared for precisely the opposite of what you're describing. For better or for worse, being a black person applying to college or a job at Google will actually be advantaged on the basis of their race. And if we acknowledge that the first step towards seeing a black person in poverty becoming a black software engineer is knowing that this is even an option for them, and that they have more than a realistic chance of achieving that goal, then maybe we'd be more cautious with the sort of oppression rhetoric we deploy.
Well none but at the same time I find the level of obvious exploitation people will accept for momentary convenience strange but that's just me. Personally I just don't get it.
Android Auto now allows OsmAnd to display on your car's screen, so no need for Google apps :-)
There's a thrill to coding in C which is similar to using a great chef's knife. I'm no master with either, will probably hurt myself -- but the limitation is me and my own.
Sadly at this point I consider anything that isn't already in the hands of consumers to be vaporware. There is little to no guarantee that funding Kickstarters results in tangible products. Typically, they just lie. It's even comical, as highlighted by YouTube series "Kickstarter crap" by idubbz.

I wish we had a better system wherein the facilitator of funding, Kickstarter, would require an action plan, goals, dates, and skeptically reviewed the progress and required the claims to be met. Along with limiting initial funding and splitting it into funding rounds based on delivery of the goal plans and proof of tangibility. Or whatever.
"And then everyone clapped"
I changed my mind about weak labelling for ML
Actually it's like your private key is made up of ~1000 1 mb pieces that each have 1/1000 rate of difference with any other similar piece. Oh, and the order of the pieces is almost always exactly the same.

No, genomes are not "almost the same" because they are all in base-4 sequences and this made up of the same 0s 1s 2s and 3s.

We are astoundingly similar, even unusually so for a large mammalian species.
Besides the obvious (e.g. "not to be talked to rudely"), what positive outcomes did you expect to get out of this encounter?
> Other than memory safety, simplicity, dependency management and build tooling, the .NET standard libraries, the open source library ecosystem

Not feeding the troll but outside memory safety, everything else you list exist in the C++ ecosystem with generally better alternative than in C#.

And as soon as you do touch mmap , unsafe area or native code in C# you loose memory safety too anyway.
You shift from victim to guilty when there s an easy way out of your mistakes. Yes getting HIV can often be the result of a preventable mistake, but if there was a way out once you got it and you refused again and again to take it to relieve the group tax burden and instead relied on expensive insured medication, I d shame you...

Diabete is frankly unclear since you can get it during childhood and again no way to alleviate it that people arent already massively taking.
Sixt has the most streamlined rental of the major German rental companies (if you have their member card), but their prices aren't really lower than DriveNow or Miles, with still significantly more friction.
> There can be structure without cause and effect. Take any static physics problem, for example a flexible sheet that’s stretched over some frame. Since there is no time dimension there is no cause and effect but at every point in the sheet there is structure (Poisson’s law).

Up to a point - that kind of structure still depends on a notion of spatial distance and "influence" where you can reason locally about subsets. It's fairly fundamental that some parts of the sheet are more closely related to each other than other parts of it. If you had a model where every point of the sheet was equally closely related to every other point, you wouldn't be able to have any nontrivial structure, I think.
Disclaimer : I don’t believe that licence tokenization is a solution to the issue of game ownership. But what I’ll said also applies to DRM-free games.

> OK, but where do you download the game?

You download it once you buy it. After that it’s your responsibility to backup it like it would be with a physical medium. Of course, sellers would probably allow you to download it again if you have an account.

On your other points, I just don’t believe (and don’t want either) that good anti-piracy protection will exist as long as the game can be run on a platform you control.

I just hope that someday the industry finally gives up on this shit.

Platforms like GOG already sell DRM-Free backupable games. It just works. They are not on the edge of bankruptcy because of the piracy. All their games are available on Steam with the Steam DRM and still, the universe is not collapsing.

Games like The Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 are available on GOG without DRM and are still hugely profitable. It’s a win-win situation. As long as you backup your games and keep a compatible computer somewhere, Cyberpunk 2077 will be playable in 2077 without a hack.
Generators, Iterators, Control and Continuations
The freedom to reference anything easily from any place is a double edge sword. I agree it makes 5% of hard issues go away, but on the flip side it makes the other 95% more complex. Tracing GC is a "goto" of memory management. You may argue goto is a good thing because it offers you freedom to jump from anywhere to anywhere and you're not tied to constraints enforced by loops and functions. We all know this is not the case. Similarly being able to make a reference from anywhere to anywhere leads to programs that are hard to reason about. We should optimize for readability not the ease of writing.
Facebook’s internal assessment of EU-US data transfers shows no legal basis
I think this has been true for a long time, but is no longer true. There's actually now multiple navigation apps for Android Auto that are not from Google.

I don't personally use Android Auto at the moment, but I felt pretty similarly about Apple Carplay as well, though the ecosystem for it has improved as well. The one thing I really like about Apple Carplay more than Android Auto (at least last time I used Android Auto) was that Android Auto could only control audio apps that were supported by Android Auto, whereas Apple Carplay can control anything that has iOS player controls on the lockscreen. I really wish Android Auto would support that in some way, just for convenience.
That’s actually an entertaining picture. Imagine all these countries from US, Russia, Norway and Germany to North Korea, Japan, Iran, India and Syria, etc. all sitting around a table, all in concert, with the same goal and executing a perfect plan at nearly the same time and keeping it secret from people and do so successfully.

But to be honest, when you see what some people believe and how gullible some can be, you won’t get surprised if someone actually claims that these happened and a significant number of people believe it. It’s scary.
In every international airport I’ve been too, this is achieved with a gate that has entrances to two or three levels. International arrivals on floor A and everyone else on floor B, sometimes also splitting domestic arrivals and departures.
Circuitry Based Sound
In what way have they made an actual attempt to solve the privacy issues?

If they were actually trying to solve the privacy issues, the precise location would get more and more vague depending how far you are from the tag. If they were actually trying to solve the privacy issues they’d delay/throttle position updates.

These things don’t solve any real problems, short of losing your keys/purse. If it’s attached to a stolen item, the police probably don’t care and confronting the thief is probably a great way to get killed or end up getting yourself arrested until the cops can sort out the he-said-she-said.
This was written just after Lua 5.2 was released. There have been improvements since then. Lua 5.3 introduced an integer type (64-bit), actual Boolean operators, a UTF-8 library, a way to yield across a C-boundary and a way to pack and unpack binary data. Lua 5.4 introduced deterministic finalizers (and a fall out from that is a limited form of constant local variables).
perhaps it's not an omission..
> unless you go out of your way to circumvent the protections with `unsafe`

I was specifically referring to the things you can do in `unsafe` blocks.
Also, Duff’s device is pretty terrible and a modern compiler will output much better code.
For auditing purposes these companies have to keep records of transactions. So I don’t understand the need to delete accounts and digital items. Sure they could delete non essential data like activity, game saves, screenshots etc. but how difficult is it to keep a login and list of owned games. It’s prob a few kb of data…
What do you mean here by memory layout? For instance, the order of fields in a rust struct can (theoretically) change by recompiling. It's not defined by the order of fields in the definition.
Interestingly, his equally-aethiest contemporary Asimov accepted the role of religion in people's lives. I forget which book, but Asimov mentions friendly teasing between himself and a religious friend in one of the prefaces. Something about moving the Bible back out of the Fiction section of his personal library.
Not necessarily that we can measure, but that we can reason about. We can't directly measure energy for example, but we know/assume that it obeys certain laws regarding conservation and locality.

If the cat's soul changed the usual laws of physics around the cat, it would destroy our ability to do physics when cats were nearby. It's not about whether we can measure it but about whether we can isolate its effects. If you can't do an experiment that doesn't depend on the state of the entire universe, you can't do an experiment.
A lesson learned the hard way:

Being sincerely passionate about something can sometimes backfire on you.
I love the simplicity. I wish there were more simple powerful apps that respected the user. The app is only 456.8 KB! Well done!
This is so cool, I'm still learning Python, so this may come in handy. Thanks for sharing. I also participated in AOC 2021, but didn't make it till the end :') In which part of the day did you solve the assignments most often?
Why not just stick on an NSFW warning and restrict downloads for minors, and maybe treat your adult users as adults?
Why would you use a piece of paper for any sum of money?

In Poland, I've seen a real-life check only once in my whole adult life (past ~20 years). Any amount, literally from $1 to $10M+ is being sent by a wire transfer, and wire transfers cost $0-$0.25 flat fee, arriving within the same working day, or instant.

This is how it has worked for the past 20 years, and the more recent innovation is having a similar system working all across Europe, and instant transfers within the same country.

Depending on a bank's security policy, the only difference between amounts is that some banks won't allow you to send wires above a certain amount from mobile, and with some banks you have to appear in person for wires above say $50k.
You're talking about bank transfers by paper order, right? That's different, because you don't give the order paper to the recipient of the money (who should then cash/deposit it at their own bank), but to your own bank, which will wire the money to the receiving account.

Is that still widely used? I think manual transfer orders have largely been replaced by direct debit (companies taking the money you owe them straight from your bank account).
Bad companies can sell good products and vice-versa.
But the actually big thing golang has no chance of fixing is the relative size of the ecosystems. Java’s ecosystem is huge!
Why is Python 3.10 a game changer? (Honest question)
It does seem to be Naval Ravikant, someone I was not familiar with.

Considering his background, the tweet might as well be investment advice as opposed to life advice.
Faster, yes. Use less power is debatable. I would like to see some graphs. Yes the transistor inside a chip is very small, but you have to connect it to other transistors and here things start to get fishy. And when everything is a synthesis library, is even worse. The only real better transistors are in analog ICs.
Solid holiday week project, I like the name! To give some feedback:

- The main use cases I can think of for nap are (a) blackbox integration tests [0] and (b) a trackable HTTP request library via git. At my previous job, we built a similar tool (not nearly as feature rich as nap) to compare stable and candidate API versions. We'd run the library of HTTP request against each version and report on any difference in assertions.

- Scripting makes sense in the form of hooks imo. As a user, I would want to execute Javascript pre-request, post-request, pre-response, post-response, etc.

- There's nothing REALLY BIG you're missing. I think the primary value here is that it's a light weight tool that can be re-used for all sorts of workflows and platforms.

[0] The blackbox integration test use case is an interesting one. There's a recent trend in Javascript-land where some tooling is being moved to Go or Rust for the sake of speed -- integration tests may benefit from improved speed and concurrency. I tend to write tons of integration tests using Jest and they add up to a noticeable amount of time when running in CI.
